         Fable of the Porcupine 
It was the coldest winter ever.  Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation,
decided to group together to keep warm.  This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one
wounded their closest companions.  After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and
they began to die, alone and frozen.  So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or
disappear from the Earth.  Wisely, they decided to go back to being together.  They learned to live with the little wounds
caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the warmth that came from the others.ÂÂ
This way they were able to survive.  Moral of the story: The best relationship is not the one that brings together
perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other
person's good qualities.ÂÂ
ÂÂ

The real moral of the story......LEARN TO LIVE WITH THE PRICKS IN YOUR LIFE.

3:42 am
westford
I think I broke it
3:42 am

3:43 am
mrpresident

Luv you west
3:44 am
mrpresident
I live with too many pricks in my life ... that is just a perfect fable west!!
3:44 am
Jellen
Could someone help me with the stats for the bottom right E, please?
3:44 am
sprite
all is well here, west
3:44 am
sprite
I think that is et6/18, Jellen
3:44 am
mrpresident
could be et4 and et6
3:45 am
Jellen
Oh, got it! Thanks, mrp and sprite
3:45 am
sprite
et4 is from the first column E
3:46 am
mrpresident
no probs jellen
3:47 am
sprite
it's always the toughest thing in babble, making sure which word comes from which tile :)
3:47 am
Jellen
Now I need a word from the middlemost R...
3:48 am
sprite
walked fast again
3:49 am
Jellen
Thanks, sprite...nbt!
3:49 am
mrpresident
had to send poor lickety out for new ammunition for the Crimson War... he really doesn't like doing that!
I wonder if they feel sorry for us or just disgusted.
3:49 am
sprite
wtg Jellen!
3:49 am
mrpresident
on ya jellen!
3:49 am
rubyfoo
I'm trying to get half before lunch, but ity doesn't look possible...
3:50 am
sprite
mrP, what is the Crimson war? And what kind of ammo?
3:50 am
sprite
you can do it, rubyfoo. It isn't so bad as it seems.
3:50 am
rubyfoo
fera is a local fish :(
3:50 am
mrpresident
oh sprite, it is a euphenism for period and pads/tampons
3:51 am
Jellen
Just reached the halfway point myself...
3:51 am
sprite
que fera, fera....
whatever fyall be, fyall be...
the future'f not ourf to fee...
que fera, fera.
3:52 am
sprite
ohhhhhh! *hits self on the head*
Sorry, could have figured that out for myself.
My favorite 'euphemism' is hammocks for little sick kittens'
3:52 am
rubyfoo
and, I might ask, how did you get you-know-who's name into the grid, sprite?
3:52 am
sprite
oh rubyfoo, it is just that everybody loves him :)
3:52 am
mrpresident
like saying.... rebooting the ovarian system
3:53 am
rubyfoo
thumper is fixing his own apero! he is getting on a weirder and weirder schedule -- gets up at 5:30, wants his apero before 11, wants his cocktail at 4, wants dinner at 5:30 and, in between takes naps. It's all very annoying!
3:53 am
mrpresident
or A Dishonorable Discharge from the Uterine Navy.... lol!!
3:53 am
sprite
lol yes. My love doesn't care about getting 'ammo'.
3:54 am
sprite
ouch! That one is bad :)
3:54 am
mrpresident
who is thumper??
3:54 am
rubyfoo
all I want is my 8 hrs at night and eating at normal hours, not so much to ask for
3:54 am
sprite
but very very good he is doing it himself, rubyfoo. I think it is fair. If he wants to mess up the schedule, he should be willing to act on it.
3:55 am
sprite
thumper = DH
3:55 am
rubyfoo
it's because I am downstairs and he makes noise upstairs, mrp
3:55 am
mrpresident
ah! sorry the schedule is getting to you
3:55 am
sprite
he is like a bird. He stamps on the ground to make food appear from beneath his feet.
3:55 am
rubyfoo
it becomes more and more separate, which is a shame. And, since I'm not very hungry anyway, it's hard to have earlier mealtimes
3:56 am
mrpresident
it is a shame ruby... so sorry
3:56 am
westford
yikes !! I'm finally rid of the dreaded red boxes
3:56 am
rubyfoo
you'd think retirement would start to be a pleasure!
3:56 am
sprite
I'd stick to the schedule, rubyfoo, seriously. He can either join you at the regular times, or do for himself outside of them. In the end, having some structure will only be good for him.
3:56 am
westford
I sent my little story to mrp. Did it show up here?
3:57 am
mrpresident
sprite, my husband comes home and throws the 'ammo' and me and says,
3:57 am
sprite
poor west :( Nothing happened here, I am sorry you didn't get to see our enthusiams over your fable!
3:57 am
rubyfoo
yes, we loved it, westford, prickers and all!
3:57 am
Jellen
Yes, west...loved it!
3:57 am
westford
can you see why mrp came to mind? lol
3:57 am
mrpresident
sprite, DH comes home, throws 'ammo' at me and says 'panty sheilds up, captain'!

3:58 am
westford
I thought I'd never get back here
3:58 am
mrpresident
yes ruby
3:58 am
sprite
yes, lickety is the DH of mrP
3:58 am
westford
I know mrp I meant to make you smile
3:59 am
rubyfoo
that is funny; I've never used his listes
3:59 am
rubyfoo
or even lists*
3:59 am
mrpresident
you certainly did west!!
3:59 am
rubyfoo
I had better go and join DH....see you later everybody
3:59 am

4:00 am

4:00 am

*giggles* Well I am glad, I love you to stay a bit longer.
4:07 am
westford

4:07 am
sprite
wow sounds good
4:07 am
westford
I decided not to go to Maine for the annual meeting (boring) and promised to stay home with cats and find my checkbook !!
4:08 am
westford
don't write that many checks anymore but it does come in handy once in awhile
4:08 am
sprite
even better, west. It is inspiring to see people make their own choices and not being lived by those of others.
4:09 am
westford
I don't think I'd be a very good wife to Thumper.
4:11 am
sprite
roflolll me neither. He'd hate me.
4:11 am
westford
ruby keeps her sense of humor thank goodness
4:12 am
sprite
there must be lots of love there.
4:13 am
sprite
I must confess, making my own choices is something I am still learning to do too.
4:14 am
westford
it's not an easy thing to do when others depend on you
4:14 am
westford
especially kids and pets...how are they?
4:15 am
sprite
no exactly. And when you have ingrained in you to please others or perish... it is a long way back, lol.
Kids and Te5 are doing beautifully! Almost end of school ye4 now, good grades to look forward too, both of the kids. Good holiday plans too.
And our little dog is a treasure, every day.
4:16 am
sprite
to look forward to too, I mean
4:16 am
westford
that makes me so happy to hear !!
4:17 am

:D blessings are plenty if one is willing to look, aren't they :)
4:17 am

4:22 am
sprite
lol... ok, I stand corrected... I don't know the first thing about russian food!
4:22 am
westford
apparently was made for visiting Russian diplomats
4:22 am
westford
pretty much like our potato salad
4:23 am
mrpresident
bye to all those that left :) was busy with lickety
4:23 am
westford

4:23 am

lol @ hot stuff.
4:27 am
sprite
ok mrP, I'll trade you any other te word for the te6/27
4:28 am
westford
I need that one too
4:28 am
sprite
.......drumroll.......
4:28 am
mrpresident
yesterday, 18 year old boy booted the soccer ball straight into my chest/breasts from about 3 metres away... I put my hand up to protect the 'puppies' and at 150km/hr ... it did damage!!
4:29 am
westford
good grief when are you going to catch a break? ( oops, bad choice of words)
4:29 am
sprite
jeezzz mrP, it never rains but it pours! I'd say you have had more than enough for some time. Like some ye4s!
4:29 am
mrpresident
don't have that one yet!! but I know the F is in there somewhere!!
4:30 am
westford
thanks mrp just got it
4:30 am
mrpresident
yeah, and breaking my metatarsal running backward into a divet a few weeks ago was another refereeing injury
4:31 am
sprite
that did it for me, mrP. It is like when the light shines on a surface and comes back, but drop the c.
4:32 am
mrpresident
I am going to bone density scan and gallium scan in a couple of weeks... after the hysteroscopy/loop stuff
4:32 am
mrpresident
i might need some meds to strengthen my bones after all the radiotherapy
4:32 am
sprite
sorry, wrong clue, ignore it please
4:33 am
sprite
I'd say so, mrP. You could really do with a bit of sturdiness. Lickety should order you a harness like the medieval knigts.
4:33 am
westford
we have something here you take once a month pretty good results
4:34 am
sprite
it is T + fairy creature (think Legolas) + person doing it ending.
4:34 am
westford
good clue sprite
4:34 am
mrpresident
i just keep on going on and exercising and reffing and won't stop... either that or sit infront of the tv and watch jerry springer and die
4:35 am
westford
yeah mrp he'd do anyone in
4:35 am
westford
you're smart to keep going
4:35 am
mrpresident

I had my hip surgery. I am ok now, I can't walk but I am ok now.
3:48 pm
periwinkle
how are you doing red, did you know that picture would be taken?
3:49 pm
redturtlehead
I am doing OK, and no but I think the pic is funny. I was so knocked out and that was just the pre-op meds.
3:49 pm
stidmama
hm. seems hip surgery should make the walking better, yes?
3:49 pm
periwinkle
when will you be able to walk, red?
3:49 pm
redturtlehead
Hopefully in another week or so, I am moving about with crutches. and riding the bike at the gym.
3:49 pm
uusue2
good for you, red!
3:50 pm
72 Temple Owl
did it turn out as the dr thought?
3:50 pm
uusue2
and it makes it better but not right away, stid (speaking as a veteran of one hip and several knee surgeries)
3:50 pm
redturtlehead
well, the pain that I had for the past year is all but gone. I have some different pain...
3:52 pm
stidmama
red, I am glad that the pain is gone -- I hope that you get the hoped-for results when you are "all better"
3:52 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi uu and stid
3:52 pm
stidmama
I know sue -- a reason I don't seek out doctors' advice on anything not life-threatening right now. Just an MRI a year and a half ago put me on crutches (again) for 6 months...
3:53 pm
redturtlehead
I wish honestly I had this done back in march/april when it was first suggested, ah well.
3:53 pm
uusue2
sounds good, red! the post-op pain should fade reasonably quickly.
3:53 pm
redturtlehead
How is everyone doing?
3:53 pm
uusue2
how did an mri put you on crutches, stid?
3:54 pm

stupid jerks put in so much fluid in the joint that they pushed it out of place even further than it already was and didn't believe me... *deliberate name-calling*
3:54 pm

I'm off all Narcotics already which is great. Now I just want to start walking short distances.

*hugs molly*
3:55 pm
redturtlehead
its sort of funny because I was so worried about the pain..
3:55 pm
uusue2
stid, I am sorry to hear about your trouble - I had an MRI that was misread many years ago resulting in a year of pain while I tried to figure out what was wrong (since the mri report ruled out what turned out to be the actual problem)
3:56 pm
redturtlehead
mri is not as accurate as it might seem, mine also showed no labral tear, but I had one.
3:57 pm
stidmama
yep. I think I know what is wrong, but don't trust the docs to try anything right now, since I am ambulatory again and my garden needs me. I'll wait until I am immobilized and we have recovered from the grad school debacle.
3:58 pm
uusue2
well, this was more of a glaring error than an inaccuracy - when I finally got another doctor to look at the films he couldn't believe what they missed.
3:58 pm
periwinkle
that is awful sue, sorry you had to go thru that
3:58 pm
uusue2
well, as long as you are functioning it sounds like you can wait, stid. One worry at a time!

Why don’t stores sell mouse-flavored cat food? It’s a matter of marketing; tuna, chicken and liver flavors sound much more palatable to the humans buying the pet food.

10 years after the rest of the civilised world. I have just invested in an IPod. Trying to come to terms with the wonderful workings of it.....
4:21 pm

and I am just copying music to my phone (android) - never did have an iPod :-)
4:22 pm
Soodle
LOL Sue. I went into Youtube to get a couple of favourite songs, and now, I seem to have 300. I'm still not sure how it all happened....
4:23 pm
uusue2
69 words - I am finally half way!!
4:23 pm

I long ago put some albums onto my computer's hard drive, so now I am just copying them over.
4:25 pm
Soodle
I have a rather eclectic mix on my (brand new) IPod. I have Frank Sinatra, Dire Straits,Kris Kristofferson, a heap of Irish music, and some Mamma Mia sound-track... A psychologist would have a field day interpreting my choice of music....

4:32 pm
Jeff7
i don't have any 7s so I'll take any clues you can offer
4:32 pm
uusue2
te7/28, sea bird + past tense of eat
4:32 pm
Jeff7
i know the 9 is an adjective form from earlier
4:33 pm
Jeff7
that's the one :)
4:33 pm
uusue2
te7/28, adds a couple of letters to the preceding te5/10 that is Latin for Earth
4:34 pm
nrkii
the 9 is the adverb of the te7 sea bird+ word
4:34 pm
Jeff7
ty for both
4:34 pm
uusue2
huh, turning the first one into an adjective worked. who knew? Now have nbs as well as nbt.
4:34 pm

adj...adv....waht's the diff? LOL

It took me ae 4/4s to finish grid, but after re 4/6ing on clues,I finally did so here is a story. It seems that I'm allergic to the ar4/4 that I live in.What do I have to do to ea 4/4 a good night's sleep? I am a fe 6/27 & fe 4/7 that allergy season will be et 6/18 & will never end.I'd ra 4/4 this ye 4/6's allergy season the worsts Allergies get in the way of everything. For example, I went to Ko4/9 to buy some pants&I had to leave just after 5 minutes because I was coughing so much and my eyes became te 5/14. It is ra 4/4 for me to leave a store so soon because I love shopping. I hope that the end of allergy season is ne 4/4. Feeling miserable is not so ne 4/4.I wish there was an allergy re 7/28 I could goto to get rid of them.Hubby wants laptop. If I don't give it to him, he'll yell at me in a nasty to4/4. Now I'm going to get off my re 4/4end and go tr 5/10 myself to some desert.Then I'm going to go watch my name is Ea4/4 and then en5/10 sleep mode.Hope you have made no 4/4 of my clues & that my story brings you ne5/10 to your fireworks. Goodnight everybody!
