wa6/33 ??

12:33 am

negativeneil

I don't think she's ever actually "here" when the list gets posted though?

12:33 am

negativeneil

Is it automatic somehow?

12:33 am

cosdem

it is automatically for the most part

12:34 am

Altagolfnut5

hi all good luck:)

12:34 am

cosdem

an4 and cu4 in the same grid!

12:34 am

Uneaixoise

cos LOL!!

12:34 am

rbud

grrrrr, we have a dog who won't stop barking... any helpful hints to deal with him?

12:34 am

flosey

thanks cos, didn't have the an

12:34 am

jillibus

did the list ever get posted for the last grid?

12:34 am

cosdem

yes jill it did

12:34 am

rbud

he's out back, and he just goes nonstop

12:34 am

Uneaixoise

yes, jilli

12:35 am

cosdem

hmmm is he cold or does he have food

12:35 am

Uneaixoise

or is there a full moon?

12:35 am

negativeneil

How about one of those anti-bark shock collars?

12:35 am

cosdem

lol une

12:35 am

Uneaixoise

or did he have a bad dream? :-)

12:35 am

negativeneil

Give them a zap every time they bark.

12:35 am

jillibus

I missed it. I know mrp probably isn't "here" when it's posted, but I like to say thanks just in case

12:36 am

negativeneil

Sounds a little cruel maybe but better than de-barking the dog by having his vocal chords cut.

12:36 am

cosdem

makes sense jill

12:36 am

flosey

me too jilli

12:36 am

cybernan

125 down and at a standstill

12:36 am

negativeneil

Yeah jilli.

12:36 am

rastapopolous

well she's "here" when she posts the announcement on chat, surely....

12:36 am

rbud

he's got everything, he's not tangled up, he's just bored, I think. he's not ever going to be a house dog, he just needs to get used to it. he's young, the last of 11 puppies we had last year... just wish we'd found a home for him, too

12:36 am

negativeneil

cords, even

12:36 am

negativeneil

Geez. I play music too much [piano]. Haha.

12:37 am

cybernan

I wonder if lickety will get the list up tonight

12:37 am

flosey

it's up nan

12:37 am

Erda

It's up, Nan!!

12:37 am

rbud

actually I believe lickety did the last list himself, from what I read

12:37 am

jillibus

nan, the list is up

12:37 am

negativeneil

Hey Erda. :)

12:37 am

cybernan

yes, rbud, he did

12:37 am

Erda

He was here last night; chatted for a bit...

12:38 am

cybernan

oh good, think I will consult it

12:38 am

jillibus

what did you read, rbud? The last list was late -- I never saw it

12:38 am

Erda

Hey, Neil!(I said hi earlier...)

12:38 am

cosdem

lickety was here and chatted briefly apparently

12:38 am

cybernan

sad news, jill -- mrp has left lickety

12:38 am

negativeneil

Oh sorry I missed it Erda... was buried in the grid.

12:38 am

Uneaixoise

it was this afternoon, jilli -- that's when lickety told us he and mrp had split

12:39 am

negativeneil

Oh no. That's very sad to hear.

12:39 am

rbud

yesterday at 6:05 PM, jilli

12:40 am

jillibus

Mrp's FB page has said "separated" for some time. Really sad.

12:40 am

Uneaixoise

oh, really? hadn't seen that . . .

12:40 am

negativeneil

That's very sad. :(

12:40 am

Uneaixoise

very sad indeed

12:40 am

rbud

he did say he's been sober for 8 months, good to hear

12:40 am

jillibus

I hope after a while they'll get back together again.

12:41 am

negativeneil

Yeah me too.

12:41 am

jillibus

That is good, rbud.

12:44 am

Altagolfnut5

rbud? One of the tricks on a barking dog was always carrying a lemon squeeze bottle! He barked, he got a dose of lemon juice. Worked for the most part!

12:45 am

rastapopolous

so7

12:45 am

Uneaixoise

oh, jeez . . . have heard of squeeze bottle of water but not lemon juice

12:45 am

rbud

oooh, I could do that! straight juice or watered down?

12:45 am

negativeneil

Hey Karen! :)

12:45 am

rastapopolous

took the monkeys to find it, no idea what it means

12:45 am

Altagolfnut5

well, dogs like wayter..lemon juice, not so much:)

12:45 am

Altagolfnut5

hiya Neil

12:46 am

negativeneil

But you can't be standing out there all the time ready to do that every time he barks. And you need that kind of consistency... shock collar.

12:46 am

Uneaixoise

they don't like water sprayed in the face

12:46 am

Altagolfnut5

straight up!

12:46 am

negativeneil

There is also an anti-bark collar that emits a spray of citrus water.

12:46 am

negativeneil

I think Petsmart carry those.

12:46 am

Altagolfnut5

there is? wow

12:46 am

negativeneil

I'd check it out.

12:47 am

negativeneil

Yep. It costs more than the electric shock collar too I think... but better than de-barking a dog.

12:47 am

rbud

he just hates to be left out of anything, he barks when he can see or hear anyone, including through the windows, sigh...

12:47 am

negativeneil

A friend of mine was worried when he adopted a Chihuahua cross... but this dog turned out to be very quiet! He's lucky.

12:48 am

pugmama763

pardon me for asking but why keep him outside?

12:48 am

negativeneil

You'd think with Chihuahua he'd be a barker. And this guy lives in an apartment building too.

12:48 am

Altagolfnut5

hmm, lemon juice is about 50 cents. I'd go that route first! and if you can quit the barking in the house, it might work outside:)

12:48 am

negativeneil

I was wondering that too pugmama.

12:48 am

jillibus

rbud, do you have neighbours?

12:48 am

negativeneil

Dogs are smart Karen. They know where they can get away with stuff.

12:48 am

rbud

I already have lemon juice in the fridge

12:49 am

negativeneil

Ours figured that out fast, haha.

12:49 am

Altagolfnut5

lol yes

12:50 am

rbud

oh, I know, but we don't really want him, I'm sorry to say, he needs to find another home. We already had 4 dogs, including his mother - but she's living on a farm now, thank goodness, but they don't want him, too.

12:50 am

melonheadjujube

late hello to all.

12:51 am

negativeneil

Hi melon.

12:51 am

flosey

hi melon

12:51 am

jillibus

hi melon

12:51 am

rbud

he's just too big and crazy. our little nearly sightless (bl5, lol) indoor dog hates him.

12:51 am

pugmama763

have you checked for local rescue groups that might take & rehome him?

12:52 am

Altagolfnut5

still looking for a place to live Neil....real estate market is thriving while the rentals suck! But we do have an application in for the neatest house! Praying we get it

12:52 am

melonheadjujube

hi, Neil.

12:53 am

melonheadjujube

oleo

12:53 am

melonheadjujube

oops!

12:53 am

rbud

you bet, but they're swamped around here, and refuse to take him. We have two other big dogs, he even wears them out with his yapping. And I'm sure the neighbors are tired of it too, though we don't have many.

12:54 am

negativeneil

Oh wow, Karen... that's rough but hope you can get this place you're applied for.

12:54 am

pugmama763

well make sure they have you on a waiting list for when they have an opening , meanwhile the no bark collar seems the way to go

12:54 am

rbud

our older outside dog is a peaceful fellow, we moved them closer together hoping his mellowness would rub off on the younger one, but so far it just seems to disturb the older one's nap schedule, lol

12:54 am

Altagolfnut5

It was a general store back in 1930 in a small town, moved here at some point. but its got the old hardwood restored, deep tub...4 bedrooms 2 baths

12:56 am

jillibus

sounds great, alta!

12:56 am

Altagolfnut5

answered a million questions from license info to monthly income etc...Told them you can have my first born, just give me the house!

12:56 am

rbud

that sounds nice!

12:56 am

negativeneil

Oh interesting. Sounds nice, Karen.

12:56 am

negativeneil

Oh sure... and will your firstborn agree to that? lol

12:56 am

Altagolfnut5

the kitchen is to die for! :)

12:57 am

Altagolfnut5

didnt tell him yet lol

12:57 am

negativeneil

My parents can give theirs away. :P I won't complain... too much. [I'm the 2nd, haha.]

12:57 am

Altagolfnut5

lolol

12:57 am

negativeneil

Well hopefully you won't have to die for it.

12:57 am

rbud

just saw a restored old schoolhouse this last weekend, went to a big family reunion - they have it beautifully restored, and live beneath it.

12:59 am

rbud

plus they have a huge barn with a gorgeous farmhouse kitchen and lounge, lots of patios... *jealous*

12:59 am

negativeneil

Sounds nice rbud. What are they doing with the restored schoolhouse?

12:59 am

Altagolfnut5

the schoolhouse still looks like a schoolhouse?

12:59 am

negativeneil

I'm pretty jealous just reading about this... we're in a small [but pretty nice] 1-bedroom apartment.

12:59 am

jillibus

over halfway

1:00 am

rbud

Yes, you'd never know the home is under it, it's all on the side of a hill, with a lake below, the back of the underground part looks out over that

1:00 am

negativeneil

It does have gorgeous hardwood flooring throughout, except for the marble tiled kitchen and bathroom floors. And there is carpeting, wall to wall, in the bedroom.

1:00 am

Altagolfnut5

well Neil, if we dont get this house, I'll be camping in my tent trailer, so be thankful

1:00 am

negativeneil

But nowhere else.

1:00 am

negativeneil

I should post photos of it... will one of these days.

1:01 am

negativeneil

Oh Karen, I'm sure you'll find somewhere.

1:01 am

rbud

just looks like a little old schoolhouse otherwise. With barns around it, they moved it there, it only cost $100 - plus the cost of moving it, lol

1:01 am

negativeneil

Might have to settle for less than your ideal just to have a home for now?

1:02 am

negativeneil

Yeah. But what are they going to do with the schoolhouse? Just keep it restored as one? And why... open it as a museum?

1:02 am

Altagolfnut5

don't know...landlord wants us out asap, offered us a cash incentive to do so, but I said thats all moot if we cant find a place. Legally we have till Sept 30th, but think the new owners take possession mid July

1:02 am

rbud

oh, I really hope you get the place, Alta, it just sounds so perfectly interesting.

1:02 am

flosey

but with them asking all the questions they did, sounds like they're interested in you Alta?

1:03 am

Altagolfnut5

think they asked all the applicants the same

1:03 am

rbud

I don't know why they wanted it so much, other than the owner planned to burn it down. :O

1:03 am

Altagolfnut5

but no-one can turn down my cute roommate! She could sell ice to an Eskimo I swear!

1:04 am

negativeneil

Well if you have until Sept. 30th legally, use that time.

1:04 am

rbud

it is museum quality, for sure. though they had beds in it for the weekend, and some couches.

1:04 am

negativeneil

Wow. It would be sad to see that burned down.

1:04 am

rururocks

beds for rythmitic?

1:04 am

negativeneil

My roommate's pretty cute too, Karen. ;)

1:05 am

1:20 am

rbud

puttered about for a couple of hours then got sleepy again, got up around noon-thirty

1:21 am

rbud

but I had a lot of driving to recover from (the family reunion)

1:21 am

jillibus

is mrs ru unable to get breakfast?

1:21 am

flosey

1:21 am

jillibus

I heard Jean is back

1:22 am

rururocks

1:22 am

flosey

1:22 am

negativeneil

Who is, Mrs. ru?

1:22 am

jillibus

April W said she's willing...?

1:22 am

negativeneil

I didn't know she's Jewish... I'm/we're Jewish.

1:22 am

negativeneil

Our family and my g/f.

1:22 am

flosey

perhaps I'll call her jilli

1:23 am

rururocks

yep.. my wife is jewish.. and my two closest friends are as well

1:23 am

jillibus

boy, is mrs ru lucky to have you!

1:23 am

rbud

it's 1:21 here right now, and there's a campfire out front across the driveway, and a half-dozen folks sitting around it, still, including Hubs. Too much nightlife at our place.

1:23 am

negativeneil

You can't escape us, ru.

1:23 am

rururocks

she wouldn't say that jilli..lol

1:23 am

rbud

partly why the dog won't shut up, I'm sure

1:24 am

negativeneil

Wow, rbud. If you can't beat'em, join'em?

1:24 am

negativeneil

Uhhh, yeah. That might do it?

1:24 am

rbud

happy here in front of my fan, scantily clad. ;p

1:24 am

rururocks

yowza rb

1:25 am

negativeneil

I'm pretty scantily clad too but you don't need to know. Not a pretty sight. :P lol

1:25 am

jillibus

flosey --Jean may be back but still may not want to play. Better check with Isabelle first.

1:25 am

negativeneil

[it's damn hot here]

1:25 am

rbud

I'd have to dress to go out there!

1:25 am

negativeneil

Yeah, we have a/c on but it's still the idea of how hot it is you know?

1:25 am

jillibus

We've been so chilly here no need to strip!

1:26 am

negativeneil

Must be damn nice jilli... send it this way.

1:27 am

jillibus

not nice -- we want summer! Didn't get more than a couple of days last year and so far it's been a repeat. Temps in the 50s and 60s.

1:27 am

rururocks

you could go as you are rbud and make the local papers

1:27 am

negativeneil

Oh man. Sounds nice to me.

1:27 am

negativeneil

If it's a slow news day there maybe. ;) haha

1:28 am

negativeneil

That wouldn't be news in this crazy city.

1:28 am

rururocks

1:37 am

sprite

I often feel like it, jilli, grin.

1:37 am

morning all. du5/18 - a real babblet not sure whether it refers to a non-free meal, or what a debt-collector might do if one did not pay up

1:58 am

Christine

isn't that an odd word

2:00 am

rbud

the yu or the du?

2:00 am

sprite

hi scouser, hi Christine!

2:01 am

sprite

for me the du5 is pretty normal, lol

2:03 am

scouser

I think we could adopt it in the chog to be said when someone gets over-vituperative perhaps

2:03 am

scouser

I think we could adopt it in the chog to be said when someone gets over-vituperative perhaps

Christine

Almost time, eh, Sprite?

2:04 am

rururocks

2:04 am

2:04 am

sprite

lol ruru

2:04 am

2:05 am

scouser

good one ruru banch - posh seat for royalty

2:06 am

rururocks

I think we should all add Foo to our call names in honor of the trip

2:06 am

sprite

lol... wouldn't that be odd

2:06 am

rururocks

ruby'd get a kick out of it

2:07 am

sprite

absolutely

2:07 am

rururocks

I like the sound of rurufoo

2:08 am

sprite

hm yeah, you have a point there. Nice and rhyming and all.

2:08 am

scouser

sounds like a dress-noise as in froo-froo

2:08 am

rururocks

we'd have to move it around for laughs.. like foo0-une

2:09 am

rururocks

2:12 am

scouser

Ah yes. Have a happy time and give her my best wishes please

2:12 am

sprite

2:12 am

rbud

chinese guardian dogs, Foo Dogs, maybe? the chows?

2:13 am

sprite

yes, could very well be!

2:13 am

Christine

Oh, rbud, very good !!!

2:13 am

scouser

k***-foo panda

2:13 am

sprite

ruru: just the french I learned at school. But that is enough to manage simple things, like travel.

2:14 am

sprite

un deux trois, camembert, trois biers, trottoir, portefeuille, du pain, du vin, du boursin.

2:14 am

rururocks

okay..I'm foo to bed..er.. I mean off to bed

2:14 am

rbud

well, Wiki says "chinese guardian lions", actually, aka "Foo Dogs" - so lions, the chows look lion-like

2:14 am

sprite

wow, never knew that. Thanks!

2:15 am

sprite

ok ruru, sleep well and happy dreams. No fooling around!

2:15 am

rbud

they are mean-looking critters!

2:15 am

rururocks

beans.

2:15 am

rururocks

they have black tongues

2:15 am

rbud

night, ru! :)

2:15 am

sprite

yes they do! Amazing, isn't it.

2:16 am

rururocks

they are odd dogs..

2:16 am

rururocks

very much a one person dog

2:17 am

sprite

in character they are much more like cats

2:18 am

rururocks

*waves goodnight*

2:18 am

rbud

I have always heard that the more black dogs have in their mouths, the smarter they are, though it may of course be an old wives' tale

2:18 am

sprite

*nightynight*

2:19 am

sprite

never heard that! funny.

2:21 am

sprite

I cannot find how to send a mail in facebook to more than one person... do you know?

2:22 am

rbud

I thought you could just keep adding names, have they changed that too?

2:22 am

sprite

not sure... do I have to type in all the names then? I thought I'd get a list to chose from :(

2:23 am

rbud

no, it looks to still work - you start typing and the name self-completes?

2:23 am

rbud

no, no list, I guess you're right about that

2:23 am

rbud

but it will still let you send to more than one.

2:25 am

rbud

shoot, 34 left and ground to a halt, don't feel like listing tonight, maybe time for bed.

2:29 am

sprite

ok done it, thanks for helping :) Are you leaving for bed now?

2:32 am

sprite

if you are, sleep well!

2:32 am

scouser

we are doing well in this grid - another babblet wa6/33 which will lead to a lot of giggles I would think (it does exist as a river-name in Britain)

2:33 am

sprite

thanks for the heads-up, will try to find it!

2:38 am

scouser

however, it is a proper grid because it has a coin (one of my Latin ones - medieval Latin is one of my hobbies) and an obscure fish !

2:39 am

sprite

yesssss a fish! It is good to have a fish in a grid. I like coins too, especially the really obscure ones, like dwei (?)

2:39 am

sprite

no, lwei, now I remember

2:40 am

sprite

sanctus is not valid though :(

2:40 am

scouser

No, not the lwei - this one has 7 letters. Fireworks here. As the sun has come out after four days of hiding I shall go in the garden for an hour. Luckily we had less rain than other parts of Britain.

2:40 am

scouser

sorry - coin starts with s (can also mean something maths-y)

2:40 am

sprite

wtg scouser! And have a lovely day. We are having another thunderstorm here, with heavy rain.

2:41 am

scouser

ta good luck

2:41 am

beviboo

goodnight all...

2:41 am

Hi Sprite

2:58 am

sprite

hi lyn :) xxx

2:59 am

lynxxx

You all packed for the big trip? when are you off?

2:59 am

sprite

not packed, but almost everything prepared for packing. Just a few more things to pick up this afternoon.
Will be off tomorrow morning, train leaves at 8.16

3:01 am

lynxxx

what fun! is Terra going? or won't the rest of the family let him go

3:01 am

sprite

Terra will stay home. I would have brought him, but Rufie is very wild and playful, and Terra does not like big dogs playing roughly with him.

3:02 am

lynxxx

maybe next time, once he is past the puppy stage

3:02 am

sprite

yes, I think so. That is, if ruby and her husband will let me come back, grin.

3:03 am

lynxxx

they probably won't let you go home!

3:04 am

sprite

lol, that would be good. Better to be missed than having them waiting eagerly for me to leave ;)

3:04 am

sprite

we have this saying in du5 that goes like this: Guests and fish stay fresh for only 3 days. In du5 it rhymes.

3:05 am

lynxxx

good one

3:05 am

lynxxx

and thanks for the du5

3:07 am

Christine

Sprite, we have the same saying in England, and in US.

3:07 am

sprite

:) It is often true, isn't it... guests can overstay their welcome. But some never do.

3:07 am

sprite

really? Never knew that! How does it go in english?

3:07 am

lynxxx

Hello Christine

3:08 am

Christine

It doesn't rhyme - just that guests and fish stink after three days ... time to go home, or be tossed into the trash can.

3:09 am

Christine

Hello, Lynxxx - I'm catching up on my blog reading, between trips into Babbleland

3:09 am

sprite

hehehe ok! Always interesting, how sayings can be widespread.

3:10 am

Christine

Perhaps it started in Holland - on the east coast of England, we have lots of DU5 settlements

3:12 am

lynxxx

it is attributed to Benjamin Franklin "guests, like fish, begin to smell after 3 days"

3:13 am

Christine

I mean, evidence of DU5 settlements - an island in the mouth of the Thames has three old, round houses, dated 1620 (I think that's the date).

3:13 am

Christine

Did he visit Holland, while roaming Europe?

3:13 am

sprite

Interesting!

3:14 am

scouser

well we did have some naval wars with the Netherlands in the 17th century (and earlier) so perhaps they managed to set up camp? William of Orange etc etc

3:14 am

sprite

yes he did:
Franklin first visited the European continent in the summer of 1761, with his son William. They traveled to a number of cities in Flanders (what we today call Belgium) and the Netherlands and toured several Roman Catholic cathedrals. Franklin was particularly impressed that the Flemish people didnâ€™t follow a strict Puritanical interpretation of the Sabbath. Franklin seemed to like the fact that on Sundays in Flanders many people "went to the play or the opera, where there was plenty of singing, fiddling and dancing."

In the Netherlands, Franklin visited the Dutch city of Leyden. There he met Pieter van Musschenbroek, who invented the so-called Leyden electrical jar, which Franklin used in many of his experiments with electricity. Franklin found the Dutch people to be very tidy and clean, but his son William was disgusted by the way Dutch men and women smoked pipes almost incessantly.

3:15 am

Christine

That's interesting. We learn new things, new words, all the time, on this game.

3:16 am

Christine

Some time ago, Jillinus responded to a questions, with the clue TH4 (or %) - iis there such a word/s?

3:17 am

Christine

No, there isn't - I have 3 Ts

3:18 am

scouser

I wonder why William was disgusted with the smokers - after all a lot of American funding came from the tobacco trade. Tobacco and snuff were absolutely the in-thing back then. Perhaps the son was puritanical?

3:18 am

Christine

Don't do as I do, do as I tell you ??

3:18 am

sprite

could be. and LOL.

3:19 am

scouser

re the th- word perhaps she was trying to clue the end of two sy- words.

3:19 am

sprite

there is no way to make a word starting th in this grid. Not even in enable! :D

3:20 am

scouser

no but there is an unexpected ending of -th

3:20 am

sprite

yeah I think I have those

3:20 am

Christine

Now that I think about it, I think it was a case of "I can't find th4" something of that sort. I was looking for them, or there

3:21 am

scouser

babblets within babblets hey

3:21 am

sprite

hehehe perhaps a matter of typo or babble blindness.

3:21 am

scouser

I was supposed to be going out in garden and got side-tracked. Bye all

3:21 am

sprite

I cannot find the wa6 that was mentioned earlier.

3:21 am

sprite

bye scouser, have a good one!

3:22 am

Christine

Bye, enjoy the su4hine.

3:25 am

Christine

I have WA6/33 ... wa4 plus 2letters

3:26 am

sprite

I even tried a2z. I am having a very blind moment, I think.

3:26 am

sprite

could you please give me a dummy clue?

3:26 am

Christine

and that could get you sent to the pb

3:27 am

Christine

Thinke of wizards

3:27 am

sprite

argh... yeah that just did. And I already had the word :(

3:27 am

sprite

ahhhh got it! Thank you. Now I must look it up.

3:28 am

Christine

No definition, nor for the other DU-5

3:30 am

lynxxx

BBL - getting lots of red bars - must be my connection. Bon Voyage Sprite!!

3:30 am

sprite

you are right. Just tried with infoplease, but no juice.

3:30 am

sprite

bye lyn! Thanks and *hugs*

3:33 am

Christine

I think someone said the 8 & 9 are nautical words?

3:34 am

sprite

yes they certainly look that way.

3:34 am

Christine

The only nautical words I see are sa 4 & 5

3:34 am

sprite

they are compounds. You need something before those you found.

3:36 am

Christine

thinking, thinking -- need a cup of tea.

3:36 am

sprite

if you want more of a clue, just tell me :)

3:37 am

Christine

Oh please, Ido want more of a clue

3:37 am

sprite

ok, those boating canvases leave you groggy.

3:37 am

Christine

OOO found 'em.

3:37 am

sprite

good job!

3:38 am

Christine

Just as I asked, I noodled the word/s

3:38 am

sprite

grin... asking is finding... how often is that true in Babble!

3:42 am

Christine

Sometimes, I find my self staring, looking for a wor, then someone gives a clue, and the bloomin' thing is right in front of me (of course it is).

3:43 am

Christine

I think everyone else has gone to work, or gone to bed.

3:43 am

sprite

oh yes, same here.

3:44 am

sprite

I think so. I have 15 left here.

3:46 am

Christine

I have 78 to go - I keep drifting off to read my book. Actually, I should go to bed. It's 1.45am, and I'm meeting my daughter and her husband for breakfast, at 9am.

3:47 am

sprite

sounds like a good time to go and get some sleep :)

3:47 am

hiya sprite :)

3:50 am

Christine

Are you leaving, Sprite? Time to do your packing?

3:51 am

zTink

Good morning. I can't sleep so here I am and I have to be up for work in 2 hours.

3:52 am

sprite

aw poor zTink :(

3:52 am

Christine

That's not so good. I'm retired, so if I get sleepy, I'll just flake-out on the couch.

3:52 am

sprite

no I am not leaving yet, still 9 to go. I thought you were leaving, Christine, for your bed?

3:53 am

zTink

Playing on iPhone and I shouldn't have started this. I'm hooked .

3:53 am

Christine

No, just made another pot of tea, and I'll finish the book, so I can drop them off on my way to breakfast.

3:54 am

sprite

freedom, isn't it, Christine :) Well earned.

3:54 am

While I worked, I loved my job (in a bank) but I really can't see how anyone has time to work, and play Babble, and do the other things we need to do. It helped that I didn;t have my own computer 'til aafter I retired.

3:56 am

sprite

it isn't easy to juggle all those things.

3:57 am

Christine

I used to tell my Dad, in retirement I found the two things I''m really good at - reading, and lying on the bed.

3:57 am

sprite

fireflies! A very nice grid for me.

3:57 am

sprite

5:54 am

grannyrose

lucky guest. my bathroom has been coming along in leaps and bounds. funny how atrantrum, even at my age, gets results.

rubyfoo

a well-placed tantrum can be very effective!

5:55 am

grannyrose

lol, did everything, except stamp my feet...too painful

5:56 am

rubyfoo

6:03 am

rubyfoo

carlee: when my son turned 13, I was divorced and had no money beyond rent and food, but I took out a loan and took him to Paris for a week -- it was worth it!

6:03 am

6:04 am

carleekat

oh..I am going rose... she needs this get away for her reasons as much as I need it for mine...it will be a healing adventure

6:04 am

grannyrose

yeah, carlee, but am i, and more importantly, is himself gonna make it? starting to get quite cranky.

6:05 am

carleekat

he will... he is cranky us he is being forced to take care of himself

6:05 am

rubyfoo

where are you going, carlee? I missed that story.....

6:06 am

grannyrose

good, carlee, sometimes we just need to take that leap in faith and trust that all will be provided. you and your daughter are the two most important people in this.

6:06 am

carleekat

oh....my gf and I had planned to drive down to erwin TN ( 12 hour drive straight through)... we stay at a hikers "lodge" are of sorts... take a shuttle to Hot springs NC and hike the 80 mils back on the appalachian trail

6:06 am

rubyfoo

that sounds wonderful carlee, and a great thing to do with your daughter!!!!

6:07 am

carleekat

6:07 am

rubyfoo

6:07 am

grannyrose

6:08 am

I have hit a brick wall with this grid with 36 left - guess I will have to list

9:34 am

Peri, I can't see anything clearly within my arms' length without my glasses. I've sat on them so many times through the years it isn't funny; and whenever a lens pops out (which usually happens after sitting on them); I'm totally lost!

9:35 am

i wrote a checklist as to all the regular places i leave my glass and keep it handy in my back pocket,but i discovered today that i cannot read the list without my glasses;(((

I have not been able to get used to bifocals. have tried several times....so I carry around 3 pairs of glasses....driving, reading and sunglasses

9:39 am

lol Nef, I wore them for 30 years, then had cataracts removed, now wear drugstore glasses 1.5 and 2.5 - for use with computer, reading - so have them all over the house - plus a pair on chain I wear when shopping so can read the small print

9:39 am

I have had driving glasses since my mid 20's but needed reading glasses after I turned 40 - its been down hill from there.

4:13 pm

MollyL

It gets WAY too political in here sometimes. And I really don't care, as I am largely apolitical. But people need to remember that not everyone shares their views on things. I see people get REALLY offended when the politics stuff takes off.
