Yes - 1st round of state championship and hoping to do well (fingers crossed for a win). Running supersport nationally and sitting 7th. Superbike at home.

2:34 am

grannyrose

yay, sometimes an at home race can be most welcome.

2:34 am

grannyrose

gives you time to take a deep breath

2:35 am

hi Kazzer :)

5:48 am

NonoNanette

morning Kazzer

5:48 am

Kazzer99

this is quite a tricksy grid today

5:49 am

sprite

certainly looks like it. Way too many vowels.

5:49 am

NonoNanette

and all grouped together

5:51 am

Kazzer99

Interestingly there is an 8/9 combo on LIckety that isn't on the grid

5:51 am

sprite

that happens sometimes. It's because the Enable version that lickety uses is not the same as the Babble one.

5:52 am

Kazzer99

and also I thought it was a word as well

5:54 am

NonoNanette

i thought so too Kazzer but maybe its supposed to be two words

5:57 am

Kazzer99

but there are several words that babble doesn't take that are definitely words

5:57 am

NonoNanette

oh most definitely

5:57 am

sprite

Babble uses a rather old version of Enable dictionary.

6:00 am

Kazzer99

got both the 8s now

6:10 am

yep. it is.

10:05 am

Jillyjill

how is dh nef?

10:07 am

Nef

driving me nuts, Jilly. He's just finished a high dose steroid bump and we start the taper today. He's a real motor mouth, but his speech is hard to understand (the MS flare up has affected his voice box)

10:08 am

Nef

and I still want to tie him down to keep him from doing dumb things (last night he wanted to LIFT a full 5 gallon bucket!)

10:08 am

Nef

But he's not hurting; so there 's some good coming from this too

10:09 am

Jillyjill

Steriods have so many unpleasant side effects!

10:11 am

Nef

I told him that we both know that during the taper he's going to be witchy; and I will end up that way too (just from trying to please him). And I warned him that if he was too nasty, I'd duck tape him and his mouth and leave him alone for a while! :-)

10:11 am

MollyL

Go Nef! : )

10:12 am

Nef

he's been warned now... ;-)

10:13 am

MollyL

Every survival kit should have duct tape. It's so versatile. : )

10:13 am

Jillyjill

Dealing with over achieving spouses! Reminds me of a nurse friend...her hubby was a brittle diabetic with double amputation...she would hide his prosthetic legs when he was thinking of doing something stupid\

10:13 am

MollyL

Jilly! That is hilarious!

10:13 am

Nef

LOL, Jilly! THAT is really funny (in a very sick way!)

2:48 pm

2:49 pm

cosdem

Got to halfway last night but now am very stalled. hi Molly, Soodle, TO, SG, jdd......

2:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi cos

2:50 pm

MollyL

I will just shut up about what I think that word means.

2:50 pm

Soodle

Oh my!! Another Irish flag. Hello Jdd44. Its lovely to 'see' you!

2:50 pm

cosdem

:)

2:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks cos. I hear more yardwork calling me

2:52 pm

MollyL

I would ask you Irish folks if you are celebrating Bloomsday, but when I mentioned it here before I was ignored.

2:54 pm

Soodle

Lol Moll. I didn't take part in the festivities, but there were plenty in Dublin today. Readings from Ulyesses and other Joycean activities. Just a little bit too high-brow for Soodle.

2:54 pm

sammysmom

la 6/18??

2:55 pm

cosdem

nu5 please?

2:56 pm

cosdem

la + two hump letters + trauma unit in hospital

2:56 pm

sammysmom

2:58 pm

cosdem

lemme test it out for ya molly one sec

2:58 pm

cosdem

works ok for me.

3:01 pm

jdd44

The BBC R4 had a dramatic presentation of Ullysses throughout the day in relatively short segments and I managed to listen to a good deal of it. My domestic circumstances did not allow me to attend any of the events but this year appears to be much more interesting as the book is now out of copyright and the very restrictive policy of the Joyce estate can no longer prevent the presentation of Joyce's works as the performers think fit. Unfortunately the weather was not great in Dublin from the mid morning which probably put something of a damper on the festivities.

3:01 pm

MollyL

Weird. I can only get it to work in IE and I hate IE.

3:02 pm

cosdem

ugh IE is like.... the ramen of internet

3:02 pm

MollyL

Well, here's to James. Slainte.

3:02 pm

Soodle

What part of Dublin are you in, Jdd?

3:02 pm

MollyL

Ha! That is a great analogy Cos. : )

3:03 pm

Soodle

Joyce abÃº!

3:03 pm

jdd44

Soodle: Mount Merrion

3:04 pm

Soodle

I'm ex-Clontarf. I defected to Trim 20 something years ago!

3:05 pm

MollyL

Soodle, ex-Clontarf sounds like something from Star Trek.

3:06 pm

Soodle

Molly, do you have any Tullamore Dew to toast Messrs Joyce, Bloom et al?

3:06 pm

MollyL

Of course I do. *Sip*

3:06 pm

Soodle

Atta girl!!!!!

3:07 pm

MollyL

I keep eyeing that Feckin' Irish Whiskey, but it hasn't gone on sale yet.

3:09 pm

jdd44

My great grandfather lived in Trim. His name was Samuel Kelly and he was Head of the Industrial School and made the headlines when the inmates murdered a teacher on evening who was a namesake. Family lore has it that the inmates got the wrong Kelly in the gloom. The other side of the family was from Navan.

3:09 pm

Soodle

Hmmm!!! According to my long-suffering mother, all whiskey is 'That feckin' whiskey'!!

3:10 pm

jdd44

There is whiskey and there is whisky. The e is all important.

3:10 pm

Soodle

Good grief, Jdd. That story has the makings of a terrific book!

3:10 pm

MollyL

Duly noted, JDD.

3:12 pm

jdd44

My aunt already published a book on her grandparents but doesn't deal with the murder episode. Anyway, don't want to bore others with local ancient scandals.

3:12 pm

MollyL

The way I hear it, Only the Scots make whisky.

3:14 pm

jdd44

Yes they lost the e somewhere on the way. Maybe too much sampling of the liquor as it matured. Irish and Scotch whiskies are made by different processes.

3:15 pm

MollyL

Me gran Da called it whuskey. : )

3:18 pm

Soodle

My dad is from North Kerry. Some of his peers would call it Fishkey.

3:20 pm

Soodle

Molly, I have no doubt you are aware of the genesis of the word Whiskey? Uisce beatha....(ishka ba-ha), meaning Water of life!

3:22 pm

MollyL

I thought it was uisea beatha

3:22 pm

MollyL

I am an embarrassment to my ancestors when it comes to Gaelic.

3:24 pm

Soodle

Maybe you are right..... perhaps different dialects. And I don't think you would embarrass any ancestor. Heck - you celebrat St Brigids Day, Bloomsday etc. More than most residents of this fair isle would do!!

3:26 pm

jdd44

Don't normally drink it myself, except as a hot whiskey. A measure of whiskey, a slice of lemon, a small spoon of sugar and some cloves + boiling water (make sure the spoon is in the glass so that it won't crack) delicious on a wet, cold day. Puts a warm glow in the soul.

3:26 pm

sammysmom

un 6/21 ??? monkey is so hot and tired.........

3:26 pm

MollyL

No Pagan in good standing ignores Brigid or her day.
: )

3:26 pm

MollyL

A warm glow in the soul indeed.

3:27 pm

MollyL

un6/21...un + what you hammer into wood

3:28 pm

jdd44

"Uisce beatha" or water of life is the Gaelic term for whiskey. It is virtually the same in Scots Gallic. The pronumciation is "uiske baha"

3:28 pm

sammysmom

sorry- i meant the un 6/36 before it

3:29 pm

MollyL

un6/36 the kind of bathroom for both men and women.

3:30 pm

sammysmom

thanks... just like home huh?

3:31 pm

scrambler

hi all! phantom word for me: dulcimer

3:31 pm

scrambler

like your profile molly!

3:31 pm

Soodle

Hot whiskeys are now being served in the PB. Along with fried kidneys. In honour of James Joyce and Leopold Bloom.

3:31 pm

MollyL

*Gets in line for hot whiskey. Will pass on the fried kidneys.*

3:33 pm

sammysmom

i could use a sip.. ok to slip into my pineapple juice?

3:33 pm

MollyL

Thanks Scrambler. The dry and humorless leave me so perplexed.

3:33 pm

MollyL

Where the hell is Peri? She is supposed to be partying down in here with her gin.

3:34 pm

Glantarell

Evening all - back for the last 28. Although the thought of whisky and pineapple nearly made me runaway LOL

3:34 pm

Soodle

3:43 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye melonheadjujube! I will see you tomorrow maybe

3:44 pm

Soodle

Melon... for the record, unless you are very very old, they are not called naps. They are called horizontal life pauses.

3:44 pm

Glantarell

oooh, I LIKE that!

3:44 pm

sammysmom

hi minver.. nice to see you

3:45 pm

Soodle

<------ Very fond of her horizontal life pauses!

3:46 pm

Glantarell

I feel like one around 4.30 every afternoon, but rarely get the chance

3:48 pm

Soodle

Glan, call it a horizontal life pause, and everybody will be so bamboozled they will just say 'OK. Thats fine'.

3:48 pm

Glantarell

at wirk???

3:49 pm

Glantarell

or even at work?

3:50 pm

Soodle

Depends on how you say it!!!! With a determined. steely look on your face, announce to your colleagues that you now feel the need for a horizontal life pause, and defy them to challenge you. (It worked for me....)

3:51 pm

Glantarell

if there was somewhere I could sneak off to have one, I think I'd give it a try LOL

3:51 pm

Soodle

Of course, they all think I am a bit bonkers anyway.....

3:52 pm

Glantarell

they all know I'm completely bonkers - it's in my job description

3:55 pm

Glantarell

I am wiriting and organising a murder mystery event at the moment and had to stage a practical hanging in the office this week so thta we could work out how high the cut end of a rope had to be from the floor -m colleagues who have no knowledge of what I am working on did look somewhat bemused when I put a hangman's noose aorund a colleague's neck and lifted my arm up...

3:56 pm

periwinkle

hello all, I am here with some gin!!

3:56 pm

Glantarell

and then I put the same noose around my own neck and extended my arm so a colleague could mark the rope at the point whre it needs ot be cut LOL

3:56 pm

Glantarell

Oh, thank goodness Peri - I don;t drink whisky and was getting fed up of sobriety

3:56 pm

sammysmom

glantarell...... what an interesting job you have.!!

3:57 pm

Soodle

Sammysmom, you took the words out of my mouth. Wow!!

3:57 pm

Glantarell

Interesting - and very challenging - an author was supposed to be writing this while I organised it. He bailed. I had 40 people with tickets - so pitched in.

3:57 pm

periwinkle

just up from a nap, or horizontal life pause :) don't want any gin at the moment. I also bought some limes!!

3:58 pm

4:03 pm

Glantarell

can't remember their names but one is a sort of cottage cheese fritter, one os a sort of spinach tart with raisins and I totally forgot pudding LOL - I tried to find things which were outside the usual British palate - and we have mead, almnd milk and hippocras to drink - hippocras being a spiced wine

4:04 pm

Glantarell

Thursday night Peri

4:04 pm

Soodle

Medieval nibbles?????? Sounds positively decadent!!!!!

4:04 pm

Glantarell

I will either be suicidal or incredibly happy on Friday :-) as it has been somewhat of a challenge

4:05 pm

Glantarell

they are only little tastes of food, just to add a little something to the event - canapes really

4:05 pm

MollyL

Too bad I'm so far away. I would volunteer to be a service wench.

4:05 pm

Soodle

Note to self.... be sure to log in to Babble on Friday to hear how things went.

4:05 pm

Glantarell

I hve been very fortunate because the event depends on volnteer help and I have 6 volunteers which is what I neeeded

4:06 pm

MollyL

4:08 pm

Hooray for hair

Glantarell

Irving is hard to adapt to the screen. Although it had it's moments, the film version of "A Prayer For Owen Meany" was almost a whole different story.

5:05 pm

Soodle

My all time favourite John Irving book is A Son Of The Circus. Whenever I feel pissed off I open that book at a random page, and it is 100% guaranteed to cheer me up.

5:06 pm

not on this planet.we spent a few years with a matronly aunt when we first came over to canada and she was big in the church and part of our rent/punishment/pennance/whatever was we sat there and added up sall the collection envelopes after the flock had been fleeced and gone home.each dontation had a name,each name went in a ledger and the sums were added up monthly.was a tough road watching all that when my da was earning a dollar 45 cents and hour in the early 60s..guess the church used the books we painstakingly sweated over at night to see was to be first through the pearly gates when it was all over and done with..

However I and my friends will not stop.

6:17 pm

sorry to get on the bandwagon. I will leave you all to your game. Take care

6:18 pm

scrambler

Womens' issues are a form of subterfuge, attack women, so you won't realize they have nothing to offer, keep you on fire while they hoodwink everyone. They are really a bunch of women hating cowards with nothing but money on their minds.

6:19 pm

blueheron

Sad, but true.

6:19 pm

okay i'll shut up now and do my babbling!

7:32 pm

flosey

7:33 pm

lilliann

i do have a retaining wall in the front though, so i can grow flowers that are not good in tubs

7:33 pm

flosey

I can't garden anymore, but we have a rose garden that we have someone come to tend

7:33 pm

lilliann

oh great, didn't know that, will have to get some and put them in tubs

10:15 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidmama! I think you missed my greeting. I like your turtle icon a lot.I never knew that your family had a turtle.

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

When I scratch Pandora on the lower back she licks. It is funny as heck but why does she do it> She is desexed?

10:15 pm

scrambler

10:15 pm

Minveryork

Hello herinfernallady! How are you doing this fine evening

10:15 pm

jesdraggon

same reason dogs thud their legs. it's an itch reflex.

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

Howdy. all good here

10:16 pm

stidmama

10:16 pm

herinfernallady

Really? It is so weird but funny.

10:16 pm

Minveryork

Yes,it's a very nasty grid and I gave up at 166 words before

10:16 pm

herinfernallady

But only she does it

10:16 pm

scrambler

10:17 pm

herinfernallady

Min that sounds omnious. I have only found 99

10:17 pm

Jillyjill

I am just hating this grid! :(

10:18 pm

scrambler

10:18 pm

herinfernallady

10:21 pm

Jillyjill

ty jes..that's the one

10:21 pm

jesdraggon

dunno, lady. I see 'em often, but it's probably, rough guess, 15% of the cats i see that do it?

10:21 pm

jesdraggon

i don't know why some do and others don't

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

Really Jess thanks. That kind of settles a why question. We do it for shits and giggles here

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

Must also get rid of a cat toy soon incase stupid boy cat inhales it

10:22 pm

Jillyjill

Interesting jes, one of mine was an orange tabby, the other was a Siamese

10:23 pm

jesdraggon

seems like oranges are over-represented in the diabetic population, but i've no idea why, jilly

10:24 pm

herinfernallady

Poor kitties. Can diabetis be refeversed in a Kitty?

10:24 pm

jesdraggon

no, lady, just managed. no more cureable than in humans.

10:24 pm

Jillyjill

All of the orange tabby's I have seem to have a propensity for weight

10:25 pm

Jillyjill

Actually, there is some literature that Lantus insulin can reverse it...but it didn't work with our siamese

10:25 pm

herinfernallady

Ok. I know what I meant

10:25 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, neither of mine were obese, though obesity is certainly a common predisposer for diabeties

10:26 pm

Jillyjill

My orange was too heavy, but not the siamese

10:27 pm

10:44 pm

Minveryork

I started babbling at ni4/4 this morning. Because of the hardness of the grid,I was only able to complete a small pi5/14 of the grid.Now here's a story of clues to sp5/14 up the chat log. I ad6/24 so many of the babblers here. It just blows my mi 4/6 how babblers can finish the grid listless. Many babblers get to do a happy da 5/14 when they get fireworks. I am not a babble da 6/24 too often because I don't finish many grids. I am usually a du5/16 when it comes to babbling. It ir 4/4 me a lot when I do not finish a grid.The me4/5 thought of my rank getting lower makes me pa 5/14. Then I re 6/24 myself that it is only a game and not to take it so seriously. My hubby of mi4/5 has been waiting for the computer. I will be ni 4/5 and put him out of his mi5/12y and give it to him.If I don't husband will sn 4/5 and go crazy. I'm going to go watch the movie Al5/10.I'll see you all again tomorrow.

10:45 pm

jesdraggon

g'night lady, stid. sleep sweet
