carolamaya

Wow!

2:31 am

carolamaya

I probably should start getting ready for bed....I'm getting dirty looks from my four legged son. He doesn't like the light turned on. Not that he is spoiled or anything.

2:31 am

rbud

he just hooked it into one of his computers, and put it all on a disc for me. don't suppose you could have something like that done? He's sort of a whiz, I have to say, was all beyond me.

2:32 am

rbud

well, good luck, hope it works out for you some way or another. :)

2:33 am

carolamaya

That is wonderful, rbud. I really don't know anyone here to do that but I will ask around.

Ibought a television on Friday, just to see the Olymoics, but all that's shown is water sports. Only so much swimming/diving. I enjoyed the rowing, but too much not of interest to me. I wish they'd show the horse trials, or soccer. Almost anything that doesn't involve water!!

2:36 pm

bichon

It is

2:36 pm

I'm enjoying the gymnastics. Especially the men and their really buff bodies

2:38 pm

I wouldn't've invested $600 if I'd known there was so little of anything to interest me. Still, every now and then, I see bits of my home town. The Center is about a halfmile from my sister's house.

2:39 pm

Have you not been shown any cycling?

2:39 pm

Bugsaw, when was the horse stuff? I've had the television on every day, since Friday night - oh, that messy opening sequence.

2:39 pm

Bugsaw

I didn't watch much volleyball until I happened onto a game between China and the US women. They were fantastic

2:39 pm

bichon

How about the beach volleyball Christine

2:40 pm

Christine

Yes Haz, I caught some of the men's and women's cycling, but it was chopped up with other sports. And beach volleyball is okay - did you see the Austrian team put a scare into the American women.

2:41 pm

Bugsaw

I think the jumping was yesterday and the cross-country was the day before that. I missed the first day. I have heard from others in the US that your coverage is more about the sports where the US will do well. Perhaps it wasn't shown where you are.

Yes, I saw that Christine. Pretty impressive on the Austrians part

2:41 pm

Haz1558

Equestrian team events happened Monday/Tuesday with individual stuff still to happen. The BBC is giving coverage to just about everything.

2:41 pm

bichon

The American coverage is not the greatest. It's so overblown

2:41 pm

Bugsaw

the cross country course was quite tough andthere were a lot of spill from tired horses

2:42 pm

Christine

I think water polo is a dreadful waste of time/water.

2:42 pm

crosshair

howdy bichon,was not ignoring you,was telling my brother to hustle over to outlook,com and grab a decent email addy as they are to phase out the @hotmail.com addys over the next year

2:42 pm

bichon

I wish we could get the BBC feed here.

2:42 pm

Bugsaw

Canadian networks are doing well too Haz. I bet you are all proud of how well GBR is doing

2:43 pm

Christine

I think NBC is the only non-cable station broadcasting the Games.

2:43 pm

Haz1558

They (the BBC) are showing Olympics on several channels with the opportunity to choose which sport you want to see. The choice can be dizzying.

2:43 pm

bichon

Can't wait til the swimming is over. Too US centric

2:43 pm

Bugsaw

try sports channels Christine. they have more

2:44 pm

crosshair

well,we pulled a batch of bronzes out of the water anyways

2:44 pm

Haz1558

GB is doing very well but I just enjoy watching everyone performing to the very best of their ability. The home crowd cheered Michael Phelps home because he's a phenomenal swimmer.

2:44 pm

crosshair

and some silvers for the ladies 8 rowing

2:44 pm

bichon

The synchro divers from Canada are good. Surprised to see the US get medals

2:46 pm

Christine

The rowing is so beautiful - they make it look so easy, makes you think you could do it.

2:46 pm

Bugsaw

I won't get into heaven for this but I am glad when Michael Phelps does not win. He was just running on ego and the others have worked so hard

2:46 pm

bichon

Agreed Bug

2:46 pm

Christine

Oh, I'm sure he works hard, too.

2:47 pm

bichon

I don't know about that Christine.

2:47 pm

Bugsaw

agreed Christine until you see them at the end when they just fall all over and can barely hold up one finger to say they were first

2:47 pm

bichon

I think he worked hard for Beijing, but slacked off the last 4 years

2:47 pm

crosshair

lol christine,they do make it look easy,but see the arms and legs on those girls?? lol they could snap me in two

2:47 pm

Christine

Isn't the breast-stroke ugly, looks like humps in the water.

2:47 pm

Bugsaw

absolutely bichon.

2:48 pm

Bugsaw

They train here Crossy and they are all so tall as well. They look like beautiful giants

2:48 pm

bichon

The breast stroke is neat though. Much rather do that than the butterfly

2:48 pm

Christine

Next time around, I plan to stay size 6, and take up rowing. I think/know I'd swamp the boat if I got in today.

2:50 pm

bichon

any hints for an 8, pls

2:51 pm

Bugsaw

there is an ar 8 right after a 7 so maybe it is a plural

2:52 pm

MollyL

st8...***ong as a ox + stil****** are a type of high heel

2:52 pm

onyx

an imaginary word

2:52 pm

bichon

ty Molly

2:53 pm

Haz1558

ex8 - one who gets money by more foul means than fair

2:53 pm

bichon

ty Haz

2:53 pm

bichon

2:54 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

2:54 pm

rururocks

2:55 pm

crosshair

2:55 pm

Haz1558

ar7 - misspelled version of Hamlet's speech - 'To be ar7 be

2:55 pm

MollyL

ar7...last three of knitting wool + last last four of jackpot game you buy a ticket for

2:55 pm

crosshair

2:55 pm

Sugrraleona

2:56 pm

rururocks

2:57 pm

Christine

I have ar8/40, ex8/65, and st8/40 - do you have the fourth 8?

2:57 pm

MollyL

2:57 pm

Haz1558

in8 - to pronounce carefully

2:58 pm

Christine

thanks you - I'll look.

2:58 pm

crosshair

ill take a clue for that st 8 please

2:59 pm

Haz1558

st8 is a plural for st7 - st plus a water creature, but backwards.

2:59 pm

Christine

See Molly at 2:52pm

3:01 pm

crosshair

uusue still in here?

3:01 pm

Christine

Oh, I had the in8, but I overlooked it. Duh ...

3:02 pm

crosshair

water creature backwards...mmm

3:02 pm

Dorens

playful water creature

3:02 pm

Haz1558

It's an animal that lives on land and water, in the grid.

3:03 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Dorens.

3:03 pm

Dorens

i have seen them cavorting in ponds as i canoe by; they are cute

3:03 pm

Haz1558

Will you be aiming to be in Rio with your canoe next Olympics, Dorens?

3:04 pm

Dorens

hello haz. nice to see you. i guess i don't play often during the right time

3:04 pm

crosshair

ty al,found it

3:04 pm

Haz1558

I don't chat very much, Dorens, just now and again when I'm in the mood.

3:04 pm

crosshair

ever see them hold each other as they nap,so they do not drift apart? cute as heck

3:04 pm

Dorens

haha. i am sure they are vying for an overweight woman in her 60's to participate. Personally i would love to

3:05 pm

Dorens

ah, same here. and i am in the mood less and less. more interested in playing the game

3:05 pm

Haz1558

I was watching some of the canoe slalom course. It's far removed from a gentle paddle up and down the river.

3:05 pm

Christine

Doreens, I'll see you there - I'll be the (by then) 79yo size 6, rowing for England.

3:06 pm

Christine

Sorry - s/b Dorens

3:06 pm

Dorens

what i would love, would be to be in Rio. and that's about it... my canoe is actually more like a kayak... double paddle, but stil I do it in very gentle fashion

3:06 pm

Dorens

ok christine... you and i are racing!!

3:07 pm

Christine

Ddi you see the kayaks on the white water course? Very scary-looking

3:07 pm

periwinkle

hello all

3:07 pm

Haz1558

Yes, lots of turbulence and excitement.

3:07 pm

periwinkle

I saw that Christine, very scary indeed

3:07 pm

Dorens

hello peri

3:07 pm

periwinkle

hey Doren

3:07 pm

Haz1558

Hello, peri.

3:08 pm

periwinkle

hi there Haz, nice to see you

3:08 pm

Christine

Dorens, four years to lose xxxxxx pounds - and learn to row. But that looks much like the physio machine, after my knee replacement.

3:08 pm

periwinkle

85 left but stucik

3:08 pm

Haz1558

And you, peri.

3:08 pm

periwinkle

3:08 pm

periwinkle

stuck even

3:08 pm

Christine

Uh, more scary than exciting, and that was from my couch.

3:09 pm

Haz1558

Well now, there's hope for you ladies. One of GB gold medal winners in the rowing only took up the sport four years ago.

3:09 pm

Dorens

by then i'll probably be a candidate for one as well christine. and, haz, just what age is this GB gold medal winner??

3:09 pm

Christine

Yes, but was she 75 at the time? I saw there is a Japanese man who is in his 70s.

3:10 pm

Soodle

Hello everybody. :-)

3:10 pm

Haz1558

She's 26.

3:10 pm

periwinkle

hey soodle

3:10 pm

Christine

Hello, Dear

3:10 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Soodle.

3:10 pm

periwinkle

inhis 70's. is there an age cut off in the Olympics?

3:10 pm

Dorens

ah... just turn the letters around and she and i are the same age then. hi sood

3:11 pm

Bugsaw

don't think peri. One horseman was 67 and the Cdn woman's cox is 53

3:11 pm

Christine

Oh Lord, at 26 I could've at least thought of learning a sport. Perhaps the man in his 70s is an official sideline-sitter - I could do that.

3:11 pm

periwinkle

ok,did not know that

3:13 pm

Soodle

Haz- wonderful to see the Craigavon team doing so well in the rowing.

3:13 pm

Haz1558

I wasn't that enthusiastic about the Olympics at the start but I've been sucked in and am enjoying seeing all the dedication and hard work of the sportsment in all the different disciplines.

3:14 pm

Haz1558

Soodles, it was great. I was urging them on!

3:14 pm

Dorens

they are oddly compelling. i am fine not turning them on, yet once they are on, it's hard to stop watching

3:15 pm

Haz1558

I know. I got caught up with the women's bike road race on Sunday, enjoying the scenery as they headed for London.

3:15 pm

hego

Hi All

3:16 pm

Haz1558

Hello, hego.

3:16 pm

hego

hi Haz, enjoying the games I see.

3:16 pm

Haz1558

Very much, hego. It's been an education!

3:17 pm

hego

Haz i thought you knew everything already. lol

3:17 pm

Anniebrook

Hello everyone, Back from lunch at the 21 Club.

3:17 pm

hego

hi Annie, how was it?

3:18 pm

Dorens

hey annie. fancy pants (you are in the grid)

3:18 pm

Haz1558

The finer points of the team pursuit cycling had passed me by before, I'll have to admit.

3:18 pm

hego

Haz is one of the best informed peopl I've come across.

3:18 pm

Anniebrook

Very nice, good service. Had a great time.

3:18 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Annie. (Is the 21 club fancy and should we be calling you Maam?)

3:19 pm

hego

I love Manhattan

3:19 pm

Dorens

see haz, told you you were intimidating. not in a bad way, but if you come across as one of the best informed people, that in and of itself can be

3:19 pm

hego

definitely Hax.

3:19 pm

Anniebrook

Haz is here! Very nice place. Bobby had to wear a jacket.

3:20 pm

hego

Not intimidating at all. Impressive!

3:20 pm

Dorens

oh cool annie... didn't realize he went too..Did he love it?

3:20 pm

Haz1558

I'd hate to be intimidating!

3:20 pm

hego

Never Haz

3:20 pm

Anniebrook

Dorens, He loved it. He had steak which was excellent and 2 Cokes.!

3:21 pm

hego

You were always so nice when I first played.

3:21 pm

hego

I'm so glad you got to go Annie.

3:21 pm

Haz1558

I'm just looking up to see how long you've been playing, hego.

3:21 pm

Soodle

Hi Hego. Thanks for the lovely photos on FB. I really felt as if I was almost there with you!

3:21 pm

Dorens

oh haz, no.. in a good way... as in one who knows all. you have always been a nice person -- one of the best cluers i've come across... and also funny

3:22 pm

hego

I wish you were Soodle. That would be fun!

3:22 pm

hego

Haz is very witty.

3:22 pm

Soodle

Are you back in the US now, Hego?

3:22 pm

hego

Yes for now.

3:23 pm

Haz1558

Thank you, Dorens. I appreciate it.

3:23 pm

Anniebrook

Haz is in the top 10 in all categories.

3:23 pm

hego

we could make a dent in those wine bottles that are everywhere.

3:23 pm

Haz1558

I'm turning red....

3:23 pm

Dorens

i once said this a very very long time ago, haz... it is only about the fact that you are so very knowledgable (like.. you probably know how to spell that and I don't)

3:24 pm

Haz1558

I am confident that I wouldn't make the Babble Sewing Team.

3:24 pm

Christine

A gold, for sure

3:24 pm

hego

red Haz. now there's a picture.

3:24 pm

Uneaixoise

annie! hey! good meal? see any celebs? :-)

3:24 pm

Anniebrook

I wouldnt make the Babble "giving advice about computers" team

3:24 pm

Dorens

i think it was about you, fmitch and ata... that when you were in the chat (as you often were) it could be intimidating, but i certinly didn't mean it negatively..

3:25 pm

Anniebrook

Hi Une, No celebs but good food and service.

3:25 pm

hego

we all stink at something

3:25 pm

Haz1558

Those were happy days, Dorens.

3:25 pm

Dorens

some of us stink at more than one thing

3:25 pm

Uneaixoise

wonderful!

3:25 pm

hego

good food is all that matters.

3:25 pm

Dorens

oh yes... you three were terrific in the chat

3:25 pm

Haz1558

I'd not make the Sewing Team, Annie is off the Computer advice section. Any other failures to make the grade?

3:26 pm

hego

they really were Dorens, for sure

3:26 pm

hego

I can't sing

3:26 pm

hego

or throw a ball

3:26 pm

Dorens

annie, it also has this sense of history (21 club) which makes it fun - i do remember taking my daughter there and she just loved it

3:26 pm

hego

or catch either

3:26 pm

Haz1558

Hego is out of the choir.

3:26 pm

Anniebrook

I miss FM's lunch menus. In fact, I miss FM.

3:26 pm

hego

lol Haz

3:27 pm

Haz1558

And the ballsports are closed to her.

3:27 pm

Dorens

would be easier for me to list what I CAN do, than to list what I can't

3:27 pm

Uneaixoise

same here, dorens! LOL

3:27 pm

Anniebrook

There was a picture of Babe Ruth and his signature which impressed Bobby. The ceiling made a hit with him too.

3:27 pm

hego

Oh stop Dorens. I'll bet you're good at lot of things.

3:27 pm

Uneaixoise

take me out of anything requiring a sense of direction! LOL

3:27 pm

Dorens

good at word games!!

3:28 pm

Haz1558

FM would definitely have been on the Babble Arts team.

3:28 pm

hego

yes!

3:28 pm

Anniebrook

Absolutely.

3:28 pm

Dorens

ah, she certainly is missed. harder on you than the rest of us, haz.

3:28 pm

Haz1558

Une is barred from the Babble Orienteering Team, even with Sat-Nav and other resources.

3:29 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

3:29 pm

Uneaixoise

I LIVE for google maps! LOL

3:29 pm

hego

I AM good at recalling all sorts of irrelevant facts no one else is interested in, however.

3:29 pm

Dorens

i am good at grandmothering... in fact am up here on grandma duty for three days and loving it. need to go pick them up shortly. was pleasant to have time to myself and babble with you folks

3:29 pm

Haz1558

I think it's worse because I worry that she didn't tell me the full extent of her problems. Ata feels the same way.

3:30 pm

hego

<---loves all maps, but Google rocks.

3:30 pm

Uneaixoise

glad you agree, hego :-)

3:30 pm

Dorens

ah, but haz that was her choice and you can't worry about it. you were both good friends, and that's all that counts

3:30 pm

Uneaixoise

haz, i totally understand . . .

3:30 pm

Haz1558

hego makes the Trivial Pursuit team.

3:30 pm

Christine

Were you and FM friends, apart from Babble? Were you neighbours?

3:31 pm

hego

that's a wonderful talent Dorens

3:31 pm

hego

yes I am good at that game Haz.

3:31 pm

Dorens

if she couldn't tell you, it was her choice and had nothing to do with you

3:31 pm

Uneaixoise

I can chair the "gleaning free food" team -- this spring I finagled 300 dozen gratis free-range eggs for our soup kitchen!

3:31 pm

Christine

way to go!!!!

3:32 pm

Dorens

i would hazard a guess that many of us word nerds are also good at trivial pursuit sort of things

3:32 pm

Haz1558

We became very frequent e-mailers and often spoke on the phone. She became a very good friend.

3:32 pm

hego

another very witty lady.

3:33 pm

Christine

I'm sorry for your loss.

3:33 pm

Haz1558

Thanks, Christine.

3:33 pm

hego

I tell my family that I forget stuff because my hard drive is full.

3:34 pm

Dorens

that is what neurologists say too. you are right

3:34 pm

Uneaixoise

so true, hego!

3:34 pm

Christine

Uneaixoise - I looked at your profile - a sanctuary for deaf dogs? Never heard of such a thing. My parents had a deaf Dalmation, I think he could read lips, because he'd stand right in fromt of you, with his head to one side.

3:35 pm

Uneaixoise

common among dalmatians . . . yes, this sanctuary/ranch just opened last week -- fabulous, eh?

3:35 pm

Christine

Well, think of how many things you do remember, since you were just a baby.

3:35 pm

Uneaixoise

sponsored by the AngelDogs Foundation

3:35 pm

Haz1558

There's something about the genetics of white cats/dogs etc that predisposes them to deafness.

3:36 pm

Uneaixoise

true, haz -- one of my first transports was a beautiful all-white deaf Great Dane

3:36 pm

hego

that was a looong time ago Chris. lol

3:36 pm

Haz1558

(Just confirming my entry for the Trivia Team)

3:36 pm

Uneaixoise

haz LOL

3:37 pm

Uncover

fw! not too many really strange words today.

3:37 pm

hego

now there is some thing I did not know Haz.

3:37 pm

Haz1558

Well done, Uncover.

3:37 pm

Christine

WEe had a white Siamese - well he started out a Lavender Sewalpoint, then lost his color at about three months, but he was deaf, and one friend called him Catatonic, because he'd close his eyes ... and fall over. I have the same problem, so maybe I'm really a white cat ??

3:37 pm

hego

I want Haz o my team!!

3:37 pm

hego

Congrats Unc!!

3:37 pm

Uncover

had a white boxer as a kid, he was only predisposed to love water , and hate cats

3:37 pm

hego

on my team

3:38 pm

Christine

Sealpoint, of course.

3:38 pm

Haz1558

Is anybody going to be on the Babble Rap team?

3:39 pm

hego

Haz, I would have loved to come to your tea party.

3:39 pm

Haz1558

That's another one I can rule out.

3:39 pm

hego

me too

3:39 pm

Haz1558

You'd have been very welcome, hego.

3:39 pm

hego

Haz did you hear we are having a Pacific rim meet up?

3:40 pm

hego

ty Haz

3:40 pm

Uncover

Saw a great T shirt. It said, "No sense being pessimistic. It doesn't work anyway.

3:40 pm

Dorens

ok, before i leave... Haz.. was it FM who had the babble jet that would be called upon to spirit folks across the ocean?

3:40 pm

Haz1558

Yes, I think so - is that the one where ruru might show up?

3:41 pm

hego

yes, oh, I so hope he does.

3:41 pm

hego

stiddy and i are going.

3:41 pm

Haz1558

Yes, FM had the babble jet and she used to talk about fuelling it up ready to transport babblers around.

3:41 pm

stidgmere

Hi. I'm going too.

3:41 pm

Dorens

i loved that!!!

3:41 pm

Christine

I must leave for a while - we're making quilts for Children's Hospital, and for Quilts of Valor, and I still need to finish some blocks. (not all who sign up have time to do their blocks,).

3:41 pm

hego

Is Tom going?

3:42 pm

Haz1558

I know - we used to let our imaginations run wild but we were quite sensible really.

3:42 pm

stidgmere

I don't think so. He is working that week.

3:42 pm

Dorens

i'm out now... lovely chatting with you all... but grandma duty calls!

3:42 pm

hego

that's great g'mere.

3:42 pm

Haz1558

Bye, hego.

3:46 pm

MollyL

If Ruru is brave enough to be the lone male in that group, I'm going to have to get him some sort of award.

3:47 pm

Haz1558

No other male babblers in the area?

3:47 pm

MollyL

I don't think any other men have said they are going. Not sure who is close to the area.

3:50 pm

Haz1558

It'll be fun for those who do go, I'm sure.

3:50 pm

Anniebrook

Isnt Tor out West?

3:50 pm

aebmusica

Where and when is the northward meeting and who is invited?

3:51 pm

MollyL

Tor is in California, but I have not heard anything about him being there.

3:51 pm

stidgmere

Check bugsaw's site. She is hostess and high coordinator. Although, she may not be high. I mean exalted.

3:53 pm

Haz1558

Okay, I must head off to collect my younger daughter. Nice to chat with you and happy babbling to all. Bye!

3:53 pm

Jillyjill

4:13 pm

MollyL

I have a friend who lives alone and has a cleaning lady. How does one person make enough mess to justify a cleaning lady?

4:13 pm

cosdem

ryans mom has one and she lives alone. i dont understand it.

4:15 pm

cosdem

4:15 pm

Soodle

I know I'm a bit late with this, but has anybody here read any of meave binchy's novels?

4:16 pm

Jillyjill

and nbs

4:17 pm

Jillyjill

*sigh* lots of phantom words today...

4:17 pm

dianedecoder

yes soodle.... one of my favourite authors. :-)

4:17 pm

Jillyjill

No Soodle, what genre are they?

4:18 pm

Glantarell

evening all - back for the last 20

4:18 pm

Glantarell

oh, I have every book Maeve Binchy has written - lovely, feel good books

4:19 pm

Soodle

Ooooh... Maeve Bincy died the other day. She wrote stories. Really great stories.. I can highly recommend her books to every body here.

4:19 pm

Glantarell

oh, i am so sorry to hear that Soodle

4:19 pm

dianedecoder

I just found two that I hadn't read in my mom's books when I brought them home with me last Feb.

4:19 pm

Jillyjill

Hi giant!!

4:19 pm

Jillyjill

What type of stories?

4:19 pm

Glantarell

Hi Jill

4:19 pm

dianedecoder

Jilly.... Circle of Friends might be her best known, as they made a movie of it

4:20 pm

Glantarell

Thye are stories about people living ordinary lives in Ireland - they focus on human nature

4:20 pm

dianedecoder

Just down to earth good human stories... some romance, some history

4:20 pm

Soodle

Diane, Glan, I am so glad you both read her and enjoyed her. I was so sad to hear she died. i would have loved to have met her, and had a drink with her.

4:20 pm

dianedecoder

Tara Road was a favourite

4:20 pm

Glantarell

The Copper Beech

4:21 pm

dianedecoder

and I missed that news item, thanks for that, soodle.

4:21 pm

Glantarell

I'd have loved to have met her and had a drink wth her too

4:21 pm

Jillyjill

Will have to check her out, thanks Soodle, giant and dd!

4:21 pm

Glantarell

If I ever felt down, reading a Maeve Binchy always cheered me up

4:21 pm

MollyL

Sorry to hear about Maeve Binchy : (

4:22 pm

Soodle

I assure you...... You won't regret reading any of her books. thats a promise.

4:22 pm

dianedecoder

Yes Jilly, you must ! .... if you want a good clean read that tugs at the heart. You really get into the "people". Another "nice" author I like is Rosamund Pilcher.... for the same reason

4:23 pm

Soodle

have you read any of her books, Molls?

4:23 pm

MollyL

I felt the same way when John O'Donohue died, Soodle. I swear, that man was my long lost brother. I would love to have met him and had a drink (or two) with him.

4:23 pm

Glantarell

can anybody assist me with the last st7/28?

4:23 pm

dianedecoder

Favourite author of all time is Anya Seton.... loved every one of her books.

dianedecoder

LOL... that was neat typing that up ! Thanks Molly via Haz !

4:25 pm

Jillyjill

Just got Copper Beach in ebook...

4:25 pm

Glantarell

great clue - and I word i have never come across - thanls Molly

4:27 pm

dianedecoder

Jilly... I really enjoy my Kobo reader, but they are going to have to give better prices on latest books. If I'm going to pay the same price as I pay at e.g. Costco, I might as well get the REAL book so that I can lend it over and over.

4:29 pm

cosdem

aww and i had the st7 already. absolutely loved that clue molly

4:29 pm

Jillyjill

Well, only $7.99 and hubby and I share..if it's not on ebook i just don't seem to buckle down and read it

4:29 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, great clue!!

4:31 pm

Glantarell

4:32 pm

Jillyjill

Oh...Woot WooT WooT giant!!

4:33 pm

Jillyjill

*poof*

4:33 pm

MollyL

I agree Diane, about the price of ebooks.

4:33 pm

stidgmere

Congrats Glant!! Time to feed Murphy, or at least play with him a while. Poof for me too.

4:33 pm

Glantarell

happy babbling all -see you tomorrow

4:34 pm

cosdem

4:35 pm

MollyL

First part of Uncle from Adams Family and last part of what you blow up for parties.

4:35 pm

dianedecoder

Molly, I have downloaded some 99 cent books as well, so it all balances out. I can download ebooks from our local library, but haven't figured how to get them onto my Kobo. I am missing a strategic step concerning Adobe.... I'll figure it out though.

4:36 pm

cosdem

tyvm!

4:37 pm

MollyL

Adobe is not very user friendly.

4:37 pm

dianedecoder

also, the library is limited as to how many ebooks they have ... there are long waiting lists for the newest books... I had thought they would be limitless!

4:38 pm

dianedecoder

I really want to read Still Alice, so think I'll get it from Kobo.

4:38 pm

cosdem

oooh its dark .. black skies

4:38 pm

MollyL

I don't understand that either Diane.

4:39 pm

dianedecoder

I think they have to have a licence/permit for each ebook ....

4:39 pm

cosdem

thats what my library said, diane

4:39 pm

cosdem

costs them money to get a permit

4:40 pm

dianedecoder

that's what I understood too, cos.

4:40 pm

Christine

A favourite contemporary author is Joshilyn Jackson

4:41 pm

dianedecoder

I'm off to get myself into a jam, once again.... Be back later !

4:42 pm

MollyL

Oh that's right Cos, there are copyright laws for ebooks.

4:42 pm

MollyL

*Cos and Diane

4:45 pm

cosdem

makes sense yet i dont like it :)

4:46 pm

MollyL

You would if you were an author whose book was getting bootlegged all over the internet. : )

4:46 pm

cosdem

true!

4:47 pm

cosdem

unless ur an absolute unknown :)

4:47 pm

MollyL

Well then you bootleg your own. : D I've seen authors do that with a first book, to get recognition.

4:48 pm

cosdem

exactly. i should do that hmmmmm :)

4:48 pm

MollyL

*Stands in line for Cos's book*

4:49 pm

cosdem

too bad i cant publish a biography of dolores umbridge

4:50 pm

MollyL

No, you will have to stick to fan fiction for that. Unless you want Rowling to come after you. : )

4:51 pm

crosshair

diane,our library ebooks are limited to 8 copies of each at a time,when they are "loaned out" people wait.the method behind this madness is to get people who love the book to buy paper versions as well after the loan ends

4:54 pm

cosdem

hmm

4:54 pm

crosshair

their perfect vision is for us to still have 6000 purchaced paper books in our livingroom but also paid e-book copies of each on the ereader for travelling as well

4:54 pm

cosdem

i have always imagined a creepy house in a neighbor and the only resident in it is Old Lady Craven

4:54 pm

cosdem

and the title would be CRAVEN

4:55 pm

cosdem

i havent decided if shes misunderstood or if shes a witch

4:55 pm

MollyL

Sounds spooky Cos. : ) Maybe a misunderstood witch.

4:55 pm

cosdem

maybe it'd be a boarding house as well

4:56 pm

cosdem

and they rarely ever see old lady craven and when they do strange things happen so they decide to find out the truth

4:56 pm

cosdem

and the truth wiill set them on a journey beyond their dreams

4:56 pm

periwinkle

7:00 pm

crosshair

Calvin: People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them. But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world. As my artistâ€™s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.

7:11 pm

Hi Cross how are you?

7:56 pm

redturtlehead

7:56 pm

Jillyjill

Where are you Molly?

7:57 pm

Jillyjill

Thank goodness I dried plums last year, that frost took our plums and apples..

Jillyjill

(hoping those understand what dried plums are..LOL)

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

I think we do...

7:58 pm

MollyL

It's not where I am geographically. I live in a condo and don't have the space for berries. I'm on the ground floor so I use some space for other vegetables.

7:59 pm

Jillyjill

You can grow strawberries as a hanging plant molly.

7:59 pm

Jillyjill

And red, eating prunes makes me feel old..eating dried plums does not.. ;)

8:00 pm

MollyL

Well then, I might try that next year. Glad to hear Red has had her prunes. The mail will move regularly tomorrow. : P

8:00 pm

redturtlehead

As long as you have some bugs to pollinate etc. I tried to grow tomatos in an upside down hangar. they grew great, btu no bees or bugs because of screen...

8:01 pm

Jillyjill

I assumed Molly was growing outside since she has veggies...

8:03 pm

redturtlehead

well number 7...from Brasil is sure great looking...maybe volleyball is becoming more interesting.

8:03 pm

redturtlehead

Oooh I mis read, I thought Mols said, "I have space for veg. She USES space.

8:03 pm

bichon

The volleyball players are hunks

8:03 pm

Jillyjill

that's so hard

8:19 pm

dianedecoder

young man, just graduated in June... just turned 18 2 weeks ago, killed in a head on collision when his vehicle crossed the center line. They think he was texting..... SO SAD, because these kids know the dangers. They just think they are invincible.

8:20 pm

Jillyjill

And that's it for me...ve5/16 was my last..whew!

8:20 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo jilly!

8:21 pm

dianedecoder

It is also against the law here in Alberta to use cell phones, put on makeup, eat... etc. when behind the wheel.

8:21 pm

dianedecoder

way to go Jilly !

8:21 pm

redturtlehead

can I get a clue for the ve 5 please?

8:21 pm

jmcnrick

oh how sad diane. . .

8:22 pm

Jillyjill

We had a girl killed here last spring where that was what they thought...good friends with several of my youth ministry teens...we really talked about that danger...hopefully it stays with them

8:22 pm

redturtlehead

that is sad diane.

8:22 pm

Jillyjill

ve5 is the brand name of a motor scooter....

8:23 pm

dianedecoder

Very sad.... but maybe it will have a deeper impression on the young folks when it involves someone they knew... about the dangers

8:23 pm

Jillyjill

or add the first vowel to the end of the second ve4

8:23 pm

carolamaya

Congrats, Jilly.

8:23 pm

MollyL

One can only hope Diane. What a senseless waste of a life.

8:26 pm

torgone

Any distraction can be deadly ..

8:27 pm

Jillyjill

Many towns and cities here are banning and ticketing cell phone use while driving.

8:28 pm

dianedecoder

ours is an Alberta law.... called the "distracted driving" law .... big fines can be imposed

8:29 pm

dianedecoder

using a blue tooth is okay, but I still consider that a distraction.

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

8:30 pm

8:38 pm

MollyL

Not sure what the problem with Peach's name is. Dr. God is trying to help her figure it out.

8:38 pm

dianedecoder

Okay... hope he's successful.

8:39 pm

MollyL

Funny how attached to a username you get. I had one on a board for a long time and no one ever called me by my given name, even when they met me in person. : )

8:39 pm

dianedecoder

I'm going to go watch some TV now, and we have a thunder storm going on.... I think I'll shut the computer off as the lightning seems very close ! Bye all, and have fun :-)

9:45 pm

MollyL

Ru, I have decided that you are to get some sort of award if you are going to be brave enough to be the only dude at that Babble meet up. I haven't figured out what that is yet, though.

9:46 pm

rururocks

maybe some gift certificates for a shrink?

9:46 pm

MollyL

That's kind of along the lines of what I was thinking.

9:47 pm

stidmama

10:03 pm

Minveryork

I'm not very fa 4/7 at finishing grids. Many babblers are able to finish the puzzle fa 6/27 than I and they're able to finish li4/4less. For example,bichon,who lives on the ea 4/4 coast can usually find a va 4/7 amount of words in little or no time. Don't fa4/7 very well when it comes to babbling. I do not finish most grids.Most of the time I am not even in4/4 finishing grids. I am also a lo6/18. If somebody accidently posts their babble words into chog I take whatever words I can get! At times I get so lo 4/4 with clues given, that I just give up.Even though I'm not very good at finding words in the grid, I still have lo 4/4 of fun when I come to Babbleland.I love the way people ro4/4 for other people when they are close to the finish line. Husband, on the other hand, hates Babbleland. He thinks it totally ro 4/4! Husband believes that I come to the chog to lu 4/5 after other babblers. He also thinks I am looking for another su6/21 to sweep me off my feet He also thinks that it is not sa 4/7 for me attend babble meet-ups because I am meeting a bunch of strangers. I think he is so 4/4 of paranoid. Ra 4/4! My hubby wants computer. Husband is giving me this st5/10 look. If I do not give it to him, he will ra 4/4 and ra4/7 and re 6/18 that I hog the computer. I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and go watch Ar4/4 & Entertainment channel.I will not be back here anytime so 4/4. Ne 4/9 time I'll come here, will be tomorrow. I hope you have made no4/4 of my clues and found some more words.Goodbye for now!

10:03 pm

Oh by the way, hello to all! Thought I'd enter with a splash

Jillyjill

I do not miss the traffic in No California...

10:26 pm

10:27 pm

10:27 pm

Jillyjill

Saw your FB post DC...looked lovely!

10:27 pm

rururocks

why's that jilly?

10:28 pm

Jillyjill

Just finished a small bowl of ice cream with fresh strawberries from garden.

10:28 pm

rururocks

oh..*covers ears*

10:28 pm

Jillyjill

Well actually after I pulled through and saw the gazillion lanes merging back into 6....

10:29 pm

rururocks

oh.. that's nothing

10:29 pm

rururocks

just keep bearing left

10:29 pm

rururocks

all the bad drivers are in the right lanes

10:30 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...my cousin lived in Logn Beach and her definition of level of traffic was based upon movement. If you weren't moving, that was heavy traffic....

10:30 pm

rururocks

..if only everyone drove like me.. we wouldn't need car insurance

10:30 pm

Jillyjill

*Long

10:30 pm

rururocks

LA is nuts.

10:30 pm

Jillyjill

You mean with your eyes closed?

10:31 pm

rururocks

I haven't the faintest clue how ANYONE keeps an appointment in Los Angeles

10:31 pm

Jillyjill

Helicopter?

10:31 pm

rururocks

<---state farm killer

10:32 pm

rururocks

we were in traffic down there and only had to go five blocks and it took 45 minutes in traffic

10:32 pm

Jillyjill

auto-mass-murderer?

10:33 pm

MollyL

I actually saw a car that is uglier than a Volvo. Some new thing called The Cube. Awful looking thing.

10:33 pm

Jillyjill

The hardest transition in moving back to Montana was to return to discussion distances, not time for travel....

10:34 pm

Jillyjill

I actually like the Cube..LOL..maybe it's the cute rodents in the commercials...

10:35 pm

rururocks

the cubes are close to the ugliest car ever made

10:36 pm

Jillyjill

Called my brother-in-law in Guam tonight...we all are very concerned his wife is mentally unstable...FB posts getting more erratic..about voices speaking to her...*sigh*

10:36 pm

rururocks

It's not how ugly Volvos are .. and they are.. but it is how Volvo owners drive.. so self-entitled... etc

10:37 pm

rururocks

oh boy jilly

10:37 pm

rururocks

that sounds like a psychotic episode

10:37 pm

Jillyjill

Yep...

10:37 pm

rururocks

do they have kids?

10:37 pm

Jillyjill

He, like our oldest son, kinda married too quickly...didn't know her well

10:38 pm

Jillyjill

No ruru, she has two sons from a previous marriage; he didn't learn about them until after they were married

10:38 pm

MollyL

Sorry to hear that, Jilly. That is very hard for a family to deal with.

10:38 pm

rururocks

oh boy.

10:39 pm

rururocks

can he get help in guam with a hospital?

10:39 pm

Jillyjill

I hope I got across to him how serious this is and that she needed to get help NOW...very schitzophrenic behavior and thoughts

10:40 pm

Jillyjill

He's retired military so has full bennies

10:40 pm

Jillyjill

We all had wondered why she didn't come to the family reunion with him this time....

10:41 pm

rururocks

maybe that's a good thing jilly

10:41 pm

MollyL

I know someone who married into something like that, completely unaware. It was hard once the reality of things set in.

10:41 pm

harpjane

hugs, jilly

10:42 pm

Jillyjill

Then there was the difficulty of explaining FB to a noncomputer person

10:42 pm

rururocks

there are a lot of whackos on facebook.. who would know?

10:42 pm

Jillyjill

I may be one friend shorter tomorrow... *sardonic laugh*

10:43 pm

Jillyjill

Thanks harpjane! how are you? Nice day today wasn't it!

10:44 pm

rururocks

My mother was psychotic.. and was never institutionalized .. but that was the 50's and 60's

10:45 pm

Jillyjill

So sorry ruru...rough childhood I'm sure you are a good person to overcome that...

10:46 pm

rururocks

yeah.. I guess

10:46 pm

rururocks

It was rough having a knife at xmas dinner to protect myself.. ..

10:47 pm

MollyL

I feel bad for kids who have to grow up with stuff like that. It's very scary.

10:47 pm

rururocks

you know though molly it was just not as understood as today

10:48 pm

rururocks

My mom would be in jail for what she did to us

10:48 pm

rururocks

if it were in today's world

10:48 pm

Jillyjill

No, we always think it's not understood now, but 40 years ago it really was a stigma...

10:49 pm

rururocks

.. but then she'd get some decorating tips from Martha Stewart

10:49 pm

MollyL

Yep. Didn't make it any less scary though.

10:49 pm

rururocks

no.. it was plenty scary

10:49 pm

Jillyjill

I struggle with some things about my mom...she was so verbally abusive...I had the self esteem of a sea slug....

10:49 pm

rururocks

we had that too jilly

10:50 pm

rururocks

My poor brother never got passed it

10:50 pm

rururocks

past it

10:50 pm

Jillyjill

But nothing compared to being worried about one's life....

10:50 pm

Jillyjill

That's too bad about your brother ruru...

10:50 pm

rururocks

it can be just as bad jilly.. don't kid yourself

10:51 pm

MollyL

I find it very sad when childhood, which is supposed to be a happy and joyous time, gets slaughtered by the emotional illness of a parent.

10:51 pm

dcseain

bak

10:51 pm

rururocks

yep...

10:52 pm

Jillyjill

And both my hubby's and my fathers were exemplary daddys, we only learned lately that they were raised by physically abusive dads that beat their moms...

10:52 pm

rururocks

that's why I moved out at 16

10:52 pm

Jillyjill

Well,, my dad truly made up for it....

10:52 pm

rururocks

ewww jilly

10:52 pm

Jillyjill

He was wonderful

10:52 pm

rururocks

A man should never hit a woman..ever

10:52 pm

MollyL

It's hard to shake that kind of history. Some people (like Ru's brother) just can't do it.

10:58 pm

10:59 pm

dcseain

my mom still mourns for my father, who died 26 years ago.

11:00 pm

Jillyjill

It's difficult as one truly becomes one with your mate..I know with 31 years how hard it would be...

11:03 pm

MollyL

It's hard to deal with the loss of someone who took up so much room in your heart.

11:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Book Doctor Gwen

'i will forgo the obvious joke about arsenic, harpjane!

11:10 pm

MollyL

I don't know how she does it either, Harp.

11:10 pm

dcseain

it was a sad day the day they became able to determine arsenic as cause of death.

11:10 pm

harpjane

yeah, i've heard it, gwen....

11:11 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, mine has been smart enough to just have boyfriends...

11:11 pm

harpjane

When my mom got married to number 4, a few years back, she told the pastor, "oh just do the same ceremony you did last time! I always get married in this church, you know!"

11:12 pm

MollyL

I think some people just can't stand to be alone.

11:12 pm

dcseain

LOL harp

11:12 pm

harpjane

is in8 a compound word?

11:13 pm

Jillyjill

11:14 pm

Jillyjill

My view is all should be able to marry legally, then let the churches rule on the rest..it is a RIGHT

11:14 pm

harpjane

11:18 pm

dcseain

K, half of Norway has been adding me on Google+ lately. What's with that.

11:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen
