hi! how's the grid?

3:27 am

Buttonman

there are threeRE 8's and they are driving me crazy...I have not found one yet

3:27 am

Buttonman

grid itself is not bad

3:27 am

rbud

hmmm, might have to look for those...

3:34 am

Haz1558

Buttonman, think of those who are sorry, build on re6/21

3:34 am

Haz1558

And good morning/evening all.

3:36 am

Buttonman

thanks, Haz, got two and working on the third

3:36 am

Haz1558

The third one is re plus a domesticated animal plus a word 'to finish'.

3:36 am

rbud

thanks, Haz! got 2 from that, is the 3rd also from that one?

3:37 am

Haz1558

It almost looks like re plus the word children use for 'imagine' but take out the r.

3:37 am

rbud

oh, I see it now, yay, morewords - very similar. thanks again!

3:38 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - and yes, thank you morewords.

3:40 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks haz, can you clue the 9 for nbs and nbt

3:41 am

Haz1558

I don't have the 9 as yet, Jiving, sorry.

3:41 am

Haz1558

Have you scrolled back through the chat log? There's usually a hint or two there.

3:42 am

Jivingjenny0

Haz1558

Thanks, dizgrannie.

3:43 am

Buttonman

Haz, I got the two 8's that have to do with sorrow but I still can't get the other one. Could you please give me another clue?

3:45 am

Haz1558

Okay, re8/50 - first four letters as with the other sorrowful words, then what you might do to look after a garden or a word that means an inclination.

3:45 am

saphyre

Good morning, ruby.

4:03 am

ursh

hello all

4:04 am

Haz1558

Hello, ursh.

4:04 am

rbud

hi, ruby, hi, ursh!

4:07 am

rubyfoo

wow, haz, thank you, you gave me a great start!

4:07 am

rubyfoo

4:07 am

rubyfoo

{{ursh}} has yur weather calmed down?

4:08 am

Haz1558

Buttonman started me on the search for the bigger ones, so thanks to him for that.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

thank you buttonman, wherever you are!

4:10 am

ursh

Ruby - yes the cyclone just caused very heavy rain for us last Sunday and some of Monday and has since settled

4:11 am

rubyfoo

did you have any flooding?

4:11 am

rubyfoo

damage?

4:12 am

ursh

Still no word of Max - and no serious damage here but quite a bit further north

4:13 am

rubyfoo

no word of Max, I am sure he went off into the shrubbery somepace and died but, happily, the new chow puppy is being delivered from Italy tomorrow morning. His name is Ruffino (Rufie) and I am hoping that he can cheer up my horribly depressed husband

4:14 am

rubyfoo

it is all very sad, but I have to keep things together and running

4:15 am

ursh

I can imagine a black chow puppy would cheer up even the lowest of spirits - have fun

4:15 am

rubyfoo

the new boy is still beige and curly, but I am sure he will darken up as his puppy fur grows out and his face is very black. He's gorgeous

4:16 am

rubyfoo

I wouldn't get another black chow as neither of our two has been normal

4:16 am

ursh

My sister had a beautiful rottweiler call Rufie (Rufous) and he was a sweetie

4:17 am

rubyfoo

we had a wonderful male named Rufus who lived to be 10, so Ruffino is named partly for him (and partly because he's Italian)

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I have several friends who love Rottweilers. I've only known one, he was a sweetie who thought I was HIS sweetie and, since he was a lot bigger than I, u hoh is all I can say

4:21 am

ursh

Husband's birthday tomorrow - have enormous leg of lamb in oven for a lunch with kids later today

4:22 am

rubyfoo

nice. Is the lamb halal? We buy halal lamb here and find it much better than what we got in the US

4:22 am

rubyfoo

I'm making duck for the Italians who are bringing the dog

4:23 am

ursh

Yes large Indian community in Durban so all meat is halal or is it halaal

4:23 am

rubyfoo

don't know the spelling, but the lamb is wonderful

4:26 am

rubyfoo

what are you serving with it?

4:26 am

Haz1558

Time to go, enjoy the grid!

4:26 am

rubyfoo

bye haz

4:27 am

ursh

old fasioned Sunday lunch - roast potatoes - cauliflower cheese, green beans, rice and gravy

4:28 am

rubyfoo

sounds wonderful! and desert? homemade birthday cake? lol

4:28 am

ursh

oh and butternut squash

4:28 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves butternut squash but not available in France

4:28 am

ursh

desert = homemade bought ice cream and bar one sauce

4:29 am

rubyfoo

barone?

4:29 am

rubyfoo

bar one?

4:29 am

rubyfoo

bar one?

4:29 am

ursh

barone = choc noughat toffee bar melted down with cream

4:29 am

rubyfoo

dimd nel, this AM

4:30 am

rubyfoo

I'm just gained a KG, reading about your dinner!

4:31 am

rbud

I'm drooling, but I can't eat, had a tooth pulled... all I can do is dream of good food for now, so this works for me, lol!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

4:31 am

ursh

We are lucky in that our 2 daughters live nearby and son still at home (but away in Joburg this weekend) so we are sharing the cooking - I am doing meat and gravy and one daughter doing potatoes and veg and other daughter doing desert and eating at daughter's hoouse which is just up the road

4:32 am

ursh

ouch rosebud

4:32 am

rubyfoo

how nice for you to have family nearby!

4:32 am

rubyfoo

you, Annie and my DIL all had teeth pulled this week. What's going on?

4:32 am

ursh

so many friends have kids living overseas - so we are truly lucky

4:33 am

rubyfoo

it takes 23 hours to reach my son in Austin

4:33 am

rbud

debating whether to go ahead and get the last three out, give up on my partial, and go full bottom denture. didn't want to, I hear they are harder to keep in. but I'll see what the dentist thinks this week.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

hard decision, rbud!

4:34 am

ursh

a friend of my husband is going to join us - his wife died a year ago - one daughter lives in UK one daughter lives in Australia and his son in Switzerland

4:34 am

rubyfoo

that is nice, including your friend

4:34 am

rbud

I would like to be done with toothaches, heehee!

4:35 am

rbud

gosh, our two kids still live in our house, if only they'd move out, would be a thrill!

4:35 am

rubyfoo

send them over here, I could use the company!

4:36 am

rbud

ages 20 and 24, and we're too soft hearted to just kick 'em out, though I've often wanted to.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

I hope that they help you and do some cooking, etc.

4:36 am

bekki

I have had alot of dentists make me a lower plate and never could wear them. I am 67 and started wearing dentures at 18 I can eat any thing

4:37 am

rubyfoo

when my son visits, once or twice a year, he is a whirlwind of help (unfortunately, criticism, too)

4:37 am

rbud

Ha! very little.

4:38 am

rbud

really, bekki? you eat without the bottom ones, are you saying? I had a friend who had no teeth for years, the man could eat steak, corn on the cob... don't know how he did it. He finally has some now, looks much better.

4:39 am

rbud

I'm going nuts with nothing but liquids, soup, mashed potatoes... can't wait till I can chew again!

4:39 am

rubyfoo

that's amazing! I am really compulsive about my teeth. Constantly brushing, flossing, etc

4:39 am

bekki

I can eat both and walnuts

4:39 am

rbud

wow!

4:39 am

rubyfoo

you are amazing, bekki!

4:40 am

ursh

son still at home is 25 and finished university 18 months ago - went to work in Miami for 6 months then back and tried personal training but found it boring so now has just started a new job as a medical rep and hopefully will go "solo" as he calls it by the end of this year - yay - but I will miss him terribly - he makes me laugh often which I love

4:40 am

rubyfoo

did he like Miami? I imagine he found the climate similar to Durban

4:40 am

bekki

alot of people don't know I have no lower teeth

4:41 am

rubyfoo

until you bite them, lol

4:41 am

rbud

haha! I have had mine out for days, no one seems to notice much. Guess I only smile with the top ones.

4:41 am

bekki

I don't bite I punch

4:42 am

rubyfoo

uh oh.....

4:42 am

ursh

yes ruby he like Miami - but was waitering at a country club and found the clientele rich and spoilt

4:42 am

rubyfoo

I loved Miami and still miss the ocean but not the climate

4:43 am

rbud

we lived in Florida for a couple of years, I didn't like it much. No dirt, all sand. :P

4:43 am

rubyfoo

we had a Cuban friend there, who, when he was young, tended bar at a country club and used to "tamper" with people's drinks.....

4:43 am

rbud

"tamper" dare we ask? :\

4:43 am

rubyfoo

I like the seasons here and the dramatic difference in day lengths

4:44 am

ursh

i think my son would have sometimes liked to "tamper" with their food

4:44 am

rubyfoo

you'd rather not know, but he found the clientele spoiled and condescending, too

4:45 am

rbud

ewwww, but can't say I haven't had a similar thought or two in my various food service and cocktail waitress jobs.

4:45 am

rbud

mostly all jobs on my list of ones never to do again.

4:45 am

rubyfoo

half and nbs but no bottom o and Miss Ruby and husband both need me. Trying to cheer husband up....will make him his Campari and try to smile

4:46 am

rbud

(((ruby)))

4:46 am

ursh

i think most waiters/kitchen workers could tell alwful stories about what goes on

4:46 am

rubyfoo

{{rbus}} no biting!

4:46 am

rbud

I can't, darnit! ;p

4:46 am

rubyfoo

I think you're right, ursh, like food on the floor and back on the plates and much worse, I'm sure

4:47 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

4:47 am

rbud

oh, for sure, I quit a job once because the owner wanted us to scrape some spilled hot dogs off the floor under the stoves, rinse them off, and serve them.

4:48 am

rbud

it was nasty down there!

4:49 am

ursh

lol rbud - i heard story about bleeding into the fruit salad - thank heavens was in the 70's and aids was not such an issue

4:49 am

rbud

I was young, carefree, and knew I could get another job in a snap. not so easy these days, but I still wouldn't serve those dogs to anyone!

4:50 am

rbud

I also quit a job as a cocktail waitress, hated the jerks with the grabby hands. now those guys deserved some "tampering"

4:51 am

ursh

yuck rbud - the more they drink the grabbier they get

4:51 am

rbud

and the other girls said "but you get better tips if you let 'em!" well, forget that!

4:53 am

rbud

I've never liked drunks or bars, maybe that's partly why

4:54 am

ursh

snap on the drunks rbud

4:57 am

rbud

when I drove the taxi here for five years, I hired the former owner to work friday and saturday nights, he got along with drinkers, I had no patience with them. I liked the old babes and fellows in the daytime, he didn't. worked out well.

4:59 am

ursh

yes i suppose taxi drivers really see it all

4:59 am

rbud

love the independent older ladies, and they liked me. dependable, clean car, slow driver, helped with groceries... hope I can find help like me when I get to where I need it. :)

5:00 am

rbud

guess the former owner scared the ladies, took them a while to relax when I took over. he was sort of an aggressive driver.

5:03 am

rbud

the other taxi owners in nearby towns told me I was nuts to be open at all at night, none of them were. wonder how the barflies got home in those towns, hate to think.

5:05 am

rbud

oh, good, Dee has a list, was hoping so.

6:58 am

7:52 am

MollyL

Having to live without Lickety *SIGH* it's very helpful to have lists in several people's profiles. Makes it easier to find and easier to direct people to.

7:55 am

pabtrek

I want to add my thanks as well, thanks to Nono and Molly for the times they put the list in their profiles. I know I wouldn't be able to finish without them. Thanks very much.

9:02 am

9:10 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

9:10 am

NonoNanette

hi Ruby

9:10 am

Uneaixoise

hey, ruby :-)

9:10 am

Uneaixoise

and nono :-)

9:10 am

NonoNanette

hi Une

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

gotta go back to unloading car -- back in a bit *poof*

9:11 am

Scrabbler

AAAHHHH. This is my on-call weekend and I just finished a call with a mother who wanted to discuss head lice. Yep, a Sunday morning emergency.

9:12 am

rubyfoo

do they still use Kwell?

9:12 am

NonoNanette

Good morning Scrabs

9:12 am

MollyL

Scrabbs, you must have a lot of patience to deal with these parents who think every little thing is an emergency.

9:12 am

cybernan

hi ruby and scrabs

9:13 am

NonoNanette

Ruby have you heard anything on Max?

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Simplest, safest treatment is non-drug one--Cetaphil gentle cleanser on to hair at night, blow dry, rinse in morning, repeat 1 wk and 2 wks later.

9:13 am

rubyfoo

pictures molly talking "sense" to that mother on the phone!

9:14 am

cybernan

or give the kid a perm - kills the lice and burns the nits

9:14 am

rubyfoo

no, I'm afraid Max is in dog heaven. Husband and I just had ANOTHER good cry over his loss.

9:14 am

rubyfoo

But tomorrow Ruffino arrives and perhaps we'll be able to smile again

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Molly, I wanted to say, "Now this is not an emergency and this type of question is most appropriate for when the office is open. But I would have felt mean.

9:14 am

MollyL

*Still keeping the faith about Max*

9:14 am

NonoNanette

soooo very sorry (((ruby))))

9:14 am

rubyfoo

mean is sometimes good, scrabbler!

9:15 am

rubyfoo

9:15 am

NonoNanette

ahhh good. Am glad you are getting a new pup

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Ruby. I am so sad for Max and you.

9:15 am

welki

could of just said, ' You know, I don't usually tell people to BE nitpickers, but in this case...'

9:15 am

rubyfoo

it has really been terrible and I appreciate, enormously, all the support I've had in he**

9:16 am

rubyfoo

husband and I were talking about just that; he has no support group, just has to handle his sadness alone

9:16 am

NonoNanette

Ruby we have all suffered the lose of a pet and know the sorrow it brings

9:16 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Welki.

9:16 am

welki

it's the best i could come up with this early :)

9:16 am

rubyfoo

I've known people who say "never again" after losing an animal, but we can't imagine life without dogs

9:17 am

rubyfoo

that's why we will always have two

9:17 am

NonoNanette

but even the ones who say never again end up with another pet before long

9:18 am

rubyfoo

and poor Ruby keeps looking for Max, too, and isn't eating much

9:18 am

Scrabbler

I know people who say never again.

9:18 am

rubyfoo

I wonder, no no, how anybody could harden his heart sufficiently not to get another

9:19 am

NonoNanette

When I put my beloved Majic down when he suffered with cancer several years ago I told myself I need to wait a bit before getting another but I found myself looking at the adds in the paper and adopted an older cat within weeks

9:19 am

welki

oh i don't think it's about hardening the heart, more about being terrified of it breaking again

9:19 am

Scrabbler

It is selfish to fear grief and deprive an animal of a wonderful life.

9:20 am

rubyfoo

it's hard to say, welki, somehow our hearts heal and although we always miss the "lost" ones, we can love new animals, too

9:20 am

Scrabbler

So true.

9:21 am

rubyfoo

and seeing my husband inconsolable is, itself, heartbreaking

9:21 am

NonoNanette

When we went to see this new cat, the people had a 7 year old daughter who had grown up with the cat and had suddenly developed allergies. I felt sorry for the child having to give up her pet until she told me, "oh by the way she likes to sleep in her litter pan"

9:22 am

NonoNanette

then i knew this cat needed to be rescued

9:22 am

rubyfoo

hahah, no no, when it was clean, I hope

9:22 am

NonoNanette

it wasn

9:22 am

MollyL

I don't think it's having a hard heart. I think some people realize that they can't go through that kind of loss again.

9:22 am

NonoNanette

it wasn't very clean when we were there

9:23 am

NonoNanette

and she never slept in it after we took her home

9:23 am

rubyfoo

as we go on, the losses just pile up

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Yay for rescuing that cat!

9:23 am

rubyfoo

but maybe our hearts get bigger

9:23 am

MollyL

Don't you just train a cat not to sleep in it's litter box?

9:23 am

NonoNanette

she was the most adorable tiny thing Scrabs but had a terrible temper LOL

9:24 am

rubyfoo

that's a funny idea, a cat with a temper

9:24 am

NonoNanette

Molly I have never known a cat to sleep in the litter box

9:24 am

NonoNanette

oh Ruby she would hiss at everyone

9:24 am

rubyfoo

they are always so clean

9:25 am

NonoNanette

I never really trusted her around children

9:25 am

rubyfoo

too funny, especially since she was small

9:25 am

MollyL

It does seem weird Nono. But some people just let their animals do whatever they want.

9:25 am

car.eeyore

Good morning!

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Maybe she was not given much love by that girl.

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Hi Car

Ruby...any word on the new pup

9:26 am

MollyL

Oh man, I'm dedicating "Lookin' For Love In All The Wrong Places" to that cat then.

9:26 am

rubyfoo

Ruffino is arriving tomorrow

9:26 am

car.eeyore

Hooray! I am so pleased! Congratulations!

Bottom row is grey. I'm sizzling today.

9:29 am

NonoNanette

9:29 am

rubyfoo

I'll never change my icon from Max

9:30 am

rubyfoo

Ruffino is adorable, Ruby!

Scrabbler

Well, the entire Babble village, silly Trif!

9:33 am

car.eeyore

Mom is still asleep.

9:34 am

car.eeyore

She is fine. We have checked on her and taken the dog out. This is the third day she has "slept in". I am keeping an eye on it.

9:34 am

Trifioso

she is!!!??

9:34 am

car.eeyore

Oooh! come with me to Sanctuary this afternoon and go to church then!!!!

9:34 am

Trifioso

9:35 am

car.eeyore

Snap! Bottom row also grayed!

9:35 am

car.eeyore

Needless to say, we are not going to church either.

9:35 am

rubyfoo

I wonder when the time changes he**

9:36 am

Scrabbler

Car, you are hot today!

9:37 am

car.eeyore

Go Ruby!

9:37 am

rubyfoo

oooph, a helicopter just flew past, lower than the house, very creepy

9:37 am

rubyfoo

9:37 am

rubyfoo

9:38 am

car.eeyore

â™« â™ª That's why I'm EA**! I'm EA** like Sunday Morning...â™ª â™«

9:38 am

Scrabbler

An emergency, Ruby? When a helicopter is over our small village we know that it is picking up a sick patient at our little hospital.

9:38 am

NonoNanette

I hate when they fly so low Ruby. They do it here when ever a prisoner escapes from local prison camp

9:39 am

Scrabbler

Are there many escapees?

9:39 am

car.eeyore

Oh goodness!!!!!

9:39 am

rubyfoo

inexperienced climbers tend to break bones and get stuck up in these cliffs; there have even been some fatalities

9:39 am

rubyfoo

inexperienced climbers tend to break bones and get stuck up in these cliffs; there have even been some fatalities

9:39 am

NonoNanette

not in recent years Scrabs, since they became a "shock" camp

9:39 am

car.eeyore

OK...Now I am buggin'! A helicopter is over this way flying by....

9:41 am

Scrabbler

No helicopter here, but I saw a mosquito.

9:43 am

Scrabbler

welki, I saw a news story on ice fishermen stranded on an ice floe on Lake Simcoe, Ontario.

9:43 am

Scrabbler

Ruby, the mosquito said he was especially hardy and spent the winter here.

9:44 am

rubyfoo

Well, if you can dig this, it's a show about a high school chemistry teacher who finds out he has terminal lung cancer. So he decides to start cooking crystal meth so he can make big money to leave to his family.

12:56 pm

Scrabbler

Back--chatting with kje on FB. Doren, the codeine can make you dizzy and sleepy.

12:56 pm

MollyL

It's won all these awards and I haven't figured out why yet.

12:57 pm

Dorens

yes i know scrabs, but how long would the residualbe? didn't take any past friday nite and was dizzy all day yesterday. can augmentin have that effect?

12:57 pm

rururocks

oh.. that's a great story line molly

12:57 pm

rururocks

the cold can make you dizzy too doren

12:58 pm

MollyL

That's what I thought Ru and had no intention of watching it. But my oldest (The Dark Lord) gave me three seasons of it for Christmas.

12:58 pm

Dorens

have heard about the show, but somehow managed to resist the urge to watch (honestly, never had the urge)

12:58 pm

rururocks

well.. isn't that nice

12:58 pm

Scrabbler

Augmentin won't make you dizzy. It can blow out your intestines though.

12:59 pm

MollyL

What a charming side effect.

12:59 pm

rururocks

*puts up shields for intestinal blow-out*

12:59 pm

Dorens

ah, the cold is pretty much all dried up now... but still headachy and dizzy. oh really scrabbs? Maybe he gave it to me to counteract the effects of the codeine???

12:59 pm

Dorens

(by the way, been on augmentin since friday, no blow outs)

1:00 pm

rururocks

*puts shields down*

1:01 pm

Dorens

and my son the doctor has whisked his family off for a week in the italian alps. i don't understand what is wrong with him

1:01 pm

Scrabbler

Augmentin is an antibiotic--for bacterial sinusitis.

1:03 pm

Dorens

and it may or may not be helping... the doc was unsure about the need for it, but said if i wasn't feeling better by the end of the week to take it. He had heard some wheezing in my chest. the cough was SOO deep, was scaring people in school when i went back on friday

1:05 pm

Scrabbler

I would have put you on azithromycin to cover for possible "walking pneumonia" germs--Mycoplasma and Chlamydophila. Augmentin won't treat those.

1:06 pm

Scrabbler

So if you don't improve in a few days go back to the doctor and tell him that your pediatrician has a plan.

1:06 pm

Scrabbler

How long have you been sick?

1:07 pm

Dorens

ok that's a plan. It started last Saturday, while I wa up in cambridge babysitting. began as laryngitis and a little sore throat... jumped into lungs on Monday

Hi 2Bit

*Wonders what it's like to be whisked off to the Italian Alps*

1:10 pm

rururocks

<---been a long time since I've been whisked

1:10 pm

Scrabbler

Doren, one of 2 choices must be made--sinusitis vs lower respiratory tract infection. He chose the former.

1:10 pm

MollyL

<---Only gets whisk-eyed these days

1:10 pm

Scrabbler

I agree, Molly + Ru.

1:11 pm

1:14 pm

Scrabbler

Phoebe will remember the recent trips, but Levi won't for a few yrs.

1:14 pm

MollyL

<---SERIOUSLY needs to have that much money to burn

1:14 pm

lbdawger

*waves arms to get Dorens' son's attention* I'm available!!!

1:14 pm

Dorens

this whole year he has been asking to go back to copenhagen (which was last june)

1:14 pm

rururocks

LOL

1:14 pm

MollyL

Really, when does he whisk his Mother away? HMMM?

1:15 pm

Scrabbler

I should have been a hotshot MD-PhD, done research and written a lot. Instead I am a lowly pediatrician. we get no respect.

1:15 pm

lbdawger

but we loves you scrabs!

1:15 pm

Dorens

molly, he plans these trips to coincide with conferences, so he gets his flight/hotel, etc paid for. Last year he was teaching in Copenhagen for a couple of weeks, then liz and the kids flew over and met him there

1:15 pm

MollyL

You get lots of respect from me Scrabbs.

1:15 pm

rururocks

*buys doren a "I"m with Whisk" t-shirt

1:16 pm

CiociaJudy

You're the bestest pediatrician in the world Scrabs! :) (was that good?)

1:16 pm

Dorens

He really doesn't get paid much (but Liz does - and they spend it on travel. I wish they'd save a bit more to buy a house with nice guestroom/bathroom suite)

1:16 pm

uusue2

I did a lot of that when I was working at CERN, dorens, was a good way to get the kid to see the world - he doesn't remember all of it but it's had a lasting good effect on him, I think

1:16 pm

Scrabbler

TY Babble Buddies.

1:16 pm

MollyL

Doren, you need to do the Jewish Mother thing better.
: P

1:17 pm

lbdawger

drop subtle hints like better homes and garden magazines left after you visit, dorens

1:17 pm

rururocks

<---wishes I was a snotty nosed kid.. I'd see scrabs

1:17 pm

Dorens

well he whisked me up to Cambridge last week when he and Liz went down to Baltimore.

1:17 pm

uusue2

I did bring my dad to Switzerland once, when I was there for a year on sabbatical...

1:17 pm

Scrabbler

Ruru, you would fit right in with my goofy adolescent male patients.

1:18 pm

Dorens

we would all use you as our doc scrabbs, if you lived in the neighborhood.

1:18 pm

MollyL

Babysitting while they plan to move further away from you does not constitute whisking.

1:18 pm

Scrabbler

Have Jeremy + Liz made a decision about Hopkins?

1:18 pm

uusue2

what dorens said!!!

1:18 pm

rururocks

exactly molly

1:19 pm

MollyL

*Imagines a Babble neighborhood, ala Knots Landing*

1:19 pm

Dorens

yes -- it is a go! They've already decided on the neighborhood they want to buy. roland park, he can ride his bike to school. they've picked out a oreK for Levi which is across the street from the school Phoebe will attend. He is very excited

1:19 pm

rururocks

I'd live on Tanrec Court Molly

1:19 pm

lbdawger

i think more like Hooterville, Molly

1:20 pm

rururocks

<----all for hooterville

1:20 pm

Dorens

I want to live next door to ruru. share his fine wines... maybe get breakfast over there (will eat Mrs. Ru's leftovers)

1:20 pm

lbdawger

Pettycoat Junction!

1:20 pm

Scrabbler

Good for them, Doren!

1:20 pm

rururocks

I'd make you brkkie doren

1:20 pm

Dorens

<-----decidedly NOT for hooterville

1:21 pm

Dorens

It's an endowed chair, and they've basically promised him full professorship/tenure in a year or two when the next book comes out

1:21 pm

rururocks

...well maybe not the ville

1:21 pm

uusue2

wow, that is VERY impressive, dorens!!!

1:22 pm

Dorens

Molly, it isn't really further from me... either exactly the same distance, or a little closer. Never sure if googlemaps is right or not. will know more when I actually drive down there.

1:22 pm

rururocks

*wonders if there is such a thing as a well-endowed chair?*

1:23 pm

Dorens

yes, sue, he is a ridiculously impressive kid. Johns Hopkins Press actually published his first book, --nor sure if that makes a difference, but someone there really likes him

1:24 pm

lbdawger

must go fluff and fold. bbl

1:24 pm

Dorens

i feel like i need fluffing and folding

1:24 pm

rururocks

*never been fluffed and folded either*

1:25 pm

pam

Coming out of lurk to say feel better, Doresn. I love the advice you were given. I had to take the codeine cough medicine because the coughing bruised my rib.

Congrats on the Hopkins chair.

And now, away with me.

HIIIIIII RURURURURURURURU and all.

1:25 pm

1:26 pm

rururocks

1:26 pm

pam

Honestly, I am soccer-engaged.... then, to a pedicure so the chair can massage my aching back...

1:26 pm

Scrabbler

Well, it is time for my next feeding. BBL.

1:27 pm

pam

1:27 pm

Dorens

1:29 pm

rururocks

wonders how a pedicure gives a back massage

1:29 pm

rururocks

1:30 pm

Dorens

pedicure chairs now seem to be endowed with massage action, whether you want it or not

1:30 pm

pam

No... the chairs they use!!!!

1:30 pm

rururocks

oh. really

1:30 pm

pam

Doresn--you can turn the power off.

1:30 pm

rururocks

1:44 pm

tceicher

1:44 pm

rururocks

KJE could take care of our aging babblers

1:45 pm

rururocks

all the lawns would be Green and yellow

1:45 pm

rururocks

1:46 pm

Dorens

5:45 pm

5:48 pm

MollyL

And a college prep high school around here. The Jesuits run it.

5:49 pm

MollyL

Well, if she's not, Downton can just sit back and watch it's ratings plummet. *Says novena*

5:49 pm

Soodle

Ah, the Jesuits! :-P

5:49 pm

Picklesny

Gonzaga doesn't sound very Irish lol

5:50 pm

Soodle

5:50 pm

crosshair

crossy feels left out..so little worth watching on tv of late,we have been just turning it on for the cats,they like the bright colours and the spastic random movements and will paw the screen for hours:)

5:51 pm

Soodle

Don't get me started on the Jesuits......

5:53 pm

Soodle

My two brothers were educated by the 'Jays'.... wonderful education, but the 'extra-curricular' activities were shocking. Nuff said.

5:53 pm

MollyL

*Dodges bolts of lightning*

5:54 pm

You'd have needed to dodge more than lightning bolts, Moll............

Soodle

LOL, Maybe I should have told Kanga that dodgy joke!!!

5:56 pm

kangabrat

5:57 pm

MollyL

Careful about expressing an opinion here. Some people get their panties all wadded up. (Not me, I think everyone has the right to their opinion)

5:58 pm

Soodle

A 'lady of the night' was involved in a dreadful car accident. She wailed 'I'm blind, I'm blind I''m blind...' A young police officer, trying to calm her down, put up three fingers, and said 'How many fingers have I up?' Oh Jaysus, says the young lady... I'm not only blind, I'm paralysed as well.

5:59 pm

kangabrat

6:11 pm

Soodle

Hmmm. eyelash fluttering doesn't appear to work on Babble. Soodle retreats to silence.

6:14 pm

MollyL

Truth be told, eyelash fluttering doesn't do a hell of a lot of good in real life either. : P

6:15 pm

Soodle

Now blinded by wayward eyelashes, I will bid you all a good day/evening. Good night all.

6:15 pm

MollyL

(Read between the lines, it's not your eyelashes they're interested in)

A web-based survey of readers of Nuts magazine in late 2006 stirred interest in this notion,[3] which was criticised as unscientific and unreliable.[4][5] It has been suggested that such exaggeration is possibly just as prevalent in women. This condition can only truly be called "man" flu when the sufferer in question has a partner from whom they hope to solicit extra attention to care for their supposedly grievous symptoms. When the sufferer is alone then the condition can only be the common cold or flu.[6][7] However, regardless of any scientific basis, the idea behind man flu has been present in popular culture, and has even been the source of controversy when used in advertising.[8]

6:29 pm

crosshair

manflu that is..sniffle...whine...

6:31 pm

So, Jilly...where the heck you been hiding?

7:06 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, survival...been getting my fix from the FB group...just been too busy...have missed it so, and will need to see I get on more often

7:08 pm

MollyL

People create a list by first finishing the grid and then compiling a list of clues (like Lickety's). It's a lot of work and I appreciate the people who take the time to do it.

7:09 pm

wht

Hello Babblers.

7:09 pm

wht

The hard part of creating a list is first finishing the grid without a list.

7:09 pm

Jillyjill

Hi wht!

7:09 pm

MollyL

Basically, once someone finishes, they copy their word list and eliminate all but the fist two letters of each word.

7:10 pm

Jillyjill

I SO agree Molly...Jaq usually has it...and I just really need the list after awhile...

7:10 pm

MollyL

I can only finish the really easy ones without a list.

7:10 pm

MollyL

*First two letters

7:12 pm

10s Gu

A BIG THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US TO THOSE CREATING THOSE WORD LISTS.

7:13 pm

MollyL

I really miss Lickety and his list. And lots of people miss Babbble Expert (I don't use it). I wonder if Lickety would consider selling the program to someone who could put up clues on a more regular basis?

7:14 pm

Jillyjill

ditto 10sGu

7:14 pm

Jillyjill

I use babble expert, on right now. Just puts the page in more usable form. I do miss Lickety

7:15 pm

"Hope Floats"...what a great premise for a movie. Your husband humiliates you by telling you he's having an affair with your best friend, on a Jerry Springer type TV show. But as a consolation prize, you get Harry Connick, Jr.

is that the plot?

Great story...former mother-in-law, who can be a ditz at times, was on a flight. She gets to chatting with the gentleman next to her. When they exchange names, he tells her he's John Irving. She says, "You are not, you asshole." Yep, it really was John Irving. : )

9:30 pm

Jacula

Hi all. re8/50 - felt sorry for sins. re8/45 - was sorry for sins. re8/50 - nothing to do with sorrow, unless you hate maths like wot I do - it has something to to with a repeating decimal.

9:30 pm

Uneaixoise

peri, go in again

9:30 pm

Jacula

Hope that helps!

9:30 pm

Uneaixoise

jac, your list helps . . . a lot!!

9:30 pm

9:31 pm

Jacula

Hi Jilly.

9:31 pm

*Wonders why one would want to repeat a decimal*

9:31 pm

periwinkle

9:32 pm

Uneaixoise

9:35 pm

Jacula

I'm with you there, Molly, but decimals seem to repear ad infinitum.:-((

9:35 pm

Jacula

Jilly - y.w re the list.

9:36 pm

Jacula

*reappear, I meant.

9:36 pm

MollyL

Repear: Peel another one, because the first one was too mushy

9:37 pm

Jacula

Mind you, I mind not have been wrong typing 'repear', since everything goes pear-shaped when I try to get to complicated with maths.:-(

9:37 pm

Jacula

LOL Molly!

9:38 pm

MollyL

Jac, there are math people and there are word people. We are the word people.

9:39 pm

Uneaixoise

you can be both!

9:39 pm

Uneaixoise

I was a math person until I hit calculus!

9:40 pm

Jillyjill

okay, gotta take a break....r's are almost done.....

9:44 pm

Jacula

Une - Logarithms worked for me, though I wasn't quite sure what they were for, and long division worked much better than short division, then came algebra....

9:45 pm

Uneaixoise

loved algebra I and II, trig, geometry, etc. -- but calculus stabbed me in the heart! LOL

9:45 pm

MollyL

I like what Einstein said about mathematics..."as far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality"

9:45 pm

Uneaixoise

firewords! see you at the flip! *poof*

9:47 pm

Jacula

And the answer to a stupid question like 'Two men are filling a bath with a hole in it from 2 buckets, one of which has a pinhole in the the bottom, and the river is flowing at 2 miles per hour - how long does it take them to fill the bath?' just elicited a response, like 'Why bother? Or at least plug the leaks first!'

9:47 pm

Jacula

Well done Une! *~*~*~*~*~*

9:53 pm

Minveryork

Just popping in to say hello to Jacula whom I have not said hello to yet today! How are you doing this evening Jacula?

9:54 pm

MollyL

Hi Min

9:54 pm

Jacula

Hi Min. I'm doing fine (but not found another job yet).

9:54 pm

Jacula

Want to hear an old joke? There was a man who had worked at a factory for twenty years. Every night when he left the plant, he would push a wheelbarrow full of straw to the guard at the gate.

The guard would look through the straw, and find nothing and pass the man through.

On the day of his retirement the man came to the guard as usual but without the wheelbarrow.

Having become friends over the years, the guard asked him, "Charlie, I've seen you walk out of here every night for twenty years. I know you've been stealing something. Now that you're retired, tell me what it is. It's driving me crazy."

Charlie simply smiled and replied, "Okay, wheelbarrows!"

9:55 pm

Jacula

:-))

9:56 pm

Jacula

Min - nice doggy story of clues tonight!

9:58 pm

Minveryork

LOL at your joke and thank you.My dog's real name is Jack

9:59 pm

Jacula

The old joke I told reminds me of the day after the night of strong winds when my ex-hub presented me with a dozen plastic watering cans for my garden. They''d blown over the fence from the DIY/Gardening place in the next unit on the industrial estate.

9:59 pm

Jacula

That's so many years ago now only 3 of the original cans survive.

9:59 pm

Minveryork

Hi again MollyL! I I like your green clover. It is very pretty.

10:01 pm

MollyL

Thanks Min. Celebrating St. Patrick's Day early. : )

10:02 pm

Jacula

Speaking of plastic, has the make-up of it changed to be bio-degradable since the 70s and 80s? I've got plastic troughs, planters etc., that I bought back then that still survive. However, a few plastic planters I've bought from Â£1 shops (cheap shops or perhaps $1 shops to my US friends) have gone brittle and broken within a year.

10:04 pm

cosdem
