or pigs fly????
2:52 am
Trifioso
sorry, not sure what happened there - I think my laptop had some sort of seizure from the shock
2:52 am
rubyfoo
awesome, Triffles! (sprite again, ruby is putting away the groceries now)
2:52 am
grannyrose
or there is going to be a blue moon...
2:52 am
rubyfoo
is it true, Trif? All easy? No big ones?
2:53 am
Trifioso
it's twoo it's twoo
2:53 am
rubyfoo
yoohoo yoohoo!
2:53 am
Trifioso
(and that about wraps up my Lily Von Shtup impression)
2:54 am
grannyrose
for goodness sake, just what sort of word is pl5/16?????
2:55 am
rubyfoo
don't have it yet
2:56 am
grannyrose
pl5, drama + first vowel
2:56 am
rubyfoo
spanish for beach :)
2:56 am
Trifioso
its a spanish word for beach or something, isn't it?
2:56 am
Trifioso
le snap sprite!
2:57 am
rubyfoo
lol Trif! vamos a al ...
2:57 am
grannyrose
well that explains it...how the heck would i know that? i ask you?
2:58 am
rubyfoo
you do now... all the things we learn from babble!
2:58 am
grannyrose
lol, too true
3:00 am
rubyfoo
sometimes in scrabble people tell me I use some kind of dictionary because of the crazy words I use... like etui and etna, lol
3:01 am
rubyfoo
sorry sorry sorry... I miss my expert!
3:01 am
Trifioso
I never used expert, but I did hear someone bemoaning it the other day - where did it go?
3:02 am
rubyfoo
I still have it, at home. But not on ruby's puter.
3:03 am
Trifioso
oh that explains that then. I can't remember who it was that was discussing it, but it sounded as if expert had ceased working or something, and I was most confused
3:04 am
rubyfoo
I shouldn't think so. It is just a kind of specialised browser, so as long as babble itself does not change, the expert will keep working, I guess.
Maybe the list was not up? If one uses the expert for the list, it won't do much good until the list is up.
3:04 am
Dachef
Expert working fine here. I can tell because I haven't done anything even remotely violent this morning.
3:05 am
rubyfoo
:D Silly Dachef! Thanks for the laughs!
3:10 am

*sigh* how long till kittens settle down?
7:07 am
crosshair
dn,mine is still tearing the house and the other cats apart
7:07 am
crosshair
and he is almost 5 months now
7:08 am
Alycia
according to George Carlin, kittens have 2 neurons in their heads: one to let them identify trouble & the other to get them to it as fast as possible
7:09 am
crosshair
sounds about right,just found mine in the toilet..someone forgot to close the lid...
7:09 am
girlie
mine is 5 months .. he has had an hour outside time, an hour long play while I was meant to be doing my workout, another hour after I got home tonight ... and the minute I put the damn cat wand down to try and babble he goes and sits by the front door and cries
7:09 am
girlie
lol Alycia, sounds about right
7:10 am
girlie
lol crosshair, mine has worked out how to open the lid
7:10 am
crosshair
just an hour?? our 5 month old does aprox 2 hours of HARD play with our 3 year old cat and 2 hours walk outside on harness and whatever play time we throw in
7:10 am
crosshair
the 3 year old is shagged right out afterwards
7:11 am
girlie
crosshair, that was 3 hours today, but it sounds like I need a 3 year old
7:11 am
crosshair
then he try to play with the 6 year old alpha felamle kitty who trys to unzip his guts
7:12 am
girlie
lol, ok, I might head to bed. Not able to babble anyhow, might as well ignore the cat in comfort
7:13 am
crosshair
i expect peace with the cats sometime in the next 2 years or so
7:13 am
crosshair
though it is almost time for kitten to get fixed so that may change the dynamics

10:29 am
stidmama
good thinking. We have inside blinds and outside shade on the sunny side of the house, I close off all the rooms and the core of the house stays nice. Which reminds me, time to close the back door now that it is warming up there too. brb

1:12 pm
crosshair
it is interesting,you can free dive as deep as you can stand bob up and hoist yourself into 4 feet of water
1:12 pm
flosey
hi Sue, just reading back, how many kids can afford to go for a swim at $8. a day? that seems a bit pricy
1:13 pm
uusue2
they have season passes, which is what most families get, I wouldn't use it enough though
1:13 pm
flosey
perhaps a season ticket would be easier on mom's pocket book
1:13 pm
crosshair
i take the wife and son..last time i tried to swim in public greenpeace got called;)
1:14 pm
uusue2
also they want to replace the pool at a cost of $40 million - for a town of 40 thousand that's a lot of money
1:14 pm
flosey
WHEW! I'll say
1:14 pm
uusue2
so needless to say the referendum hasn't passed
1:15 pm
crosshair
40 million?? my god,that is a hell of a pool!
1:15 pm
flosey
good there are some level headed people on the Board
1:15 pm

1:16 pm
crosshair
we have a olymic size training pool here on blue mtn for the athletes..that was 2.2 mil including a dome and other attached faccilities
1:16 pm
uusue2

1:17 pm
flosey

1:17 pm
crosshair

1:17 pm
rbud
("greenpeace", LOL!!)

1:18 pm
crosshair
lol,rubud..was wondering if anyone saw that
1:18 pm
crosshair
maybe 4 mil suze
1:18 pm
uusue2
ok, it's $6 for residents and $9 for nonresidents per day, but season passes are $58 for adults and $47 for children so that's not so bad
1:19 pm
flosey
$47 for each child in a family? or are there family season passes?
1:19 pm
crosshair
everyone come to crossys for a swim!! we can have bbq ribs corn on the cob and i will dose a watermelon or 2 for the adults

4:37 pm
MollyL
I don't know if I could handle seaweed bread.
4:37 pm
Nef
sounds good, Guernseygirl. Where have you been lately that you haven't been Babbling?
4:38 pm
guernseygirl
Not sure I can either but I'm getting ready for a holiday in Wales.
4:38 pm
crosshair
why would you want to handle seaweed bread?
4:39 pm
guernseygirl
I got worried about my addiction and dried out for a bit, but.now I've got an iPad and I seem to have drifted back.
4:39 pm
MollyL
lava bread = seaweed bread, in the PB
4:39 pm
crosshair
there is no addiction when 100% of everyone in here is the same..that makes it normal
4:40 pm
Uneaixoise
seaweed bread? lava bread??
4:40 pm
Uneaixoise
what are these concoctions of which you speak? LOL
4:41 pm
crosshair
why worry about playing babble,do you stop eating,beat puppies,do you strip yerself neeked and climb on the water tower and toss tomatos at people while on babble? lol
4:41 pm
guernseygirl
Ki've never tried lava bread but welsh cakes are like scotch pancakes with sultanas.
4:42 pm
Uneaixoise
wow, headed to google for some definitions :-)
4:42 pm
guernseygirl
None of those things, crosshair, but worth thinking about.
4:42 pm
crosshair
mmm welsh cakes....
4:43 pm
crosshair
try the water tower one,it is quite fun till they haul you down
4:43 pm
Uneaixoise
ok, google says scotch pancakes are like American pancakes . . . and sultanas are raisins . . .
4:43 pm
Uneaixoise
so welsh cakes are pancakes with raisins in them?
4:43 pm
guernseygirl
Made on the griddle and eaten straight away with butter and a cup of tea - lovely.
4:44 pm
crosshair
making crossy hungry
4:44 pm
guernseygirl

4:46 pm
Uneaixoise

4:46 pm
Uneaixoise
we have a neighborhood tuxedo cat named Mao-Mao who's getting on in age . . . was left here when the Chinese couple next door moved away
4:47 pm
guernseygirl
Violet is the most destructive cat ever. I'm off to buy a new stair carpet tomorrow. She's clawed it through to the wood.
4:47 pm
Uneaixoise
he spends a lot of time staying cool under my car or nestled under my shrubs :-)
4:48 pm
guernseygirl
A tuxedo cat. That would be a dinner- jacket cat here.
4:48 pm
Uneaixoise
seriously? LOL
4:48 pm
Uneaixoise
he's a sweet kitty -- and gets along well with the neighborhood dogs :-)
4:48 pm
guernseygirl
No. We just call them black and white.
4:48 pm
Uneaixoise
ooohhh LOL
4:49 pm
DCT

4:50 pm
guernseygirl
I think black and white cats are the best. Luckily Violet,s out in the garden so hasn't heard me say that. Lol
4:50 pm
MollyL
pl8...what kids wear when they are outside having fun
4:50 pm
guernseygirl

here is something interesting,a u.s law commercial said the word "garnish in taking money from a pay cheque(we think of that as what you do with a salad you garnish it with bacon bits etc) we we use garnishee for pay deductions
4:54 pm
guernseygirl
I've got 40 left and It's bedtime here, so I'll say goodnight all.
4:56 pm

7:20 pm

I am glad you are feeling better -- do you like peanut butter cookies? Grant made me some last night (I was feeling deprived of sweets), and instead of 1 cup of white sugar and one of brown, he used two cups of white and 1 1/2 tablespoons of molasses. The BEST PB cookies ever -- in case you like PB cookies.
7:21 pm

For the first couple of weeks after you first signup you will see the tile stats and word stats below the grid. After that you will have to go pro to see those fields. They will show how many words you have left and how many start from each letter in the grid.
