I'm fine, granny -- more to the point, how are YOU?
1:41 am
grannyrose
:( not so good, my friend. think islept in a strange position last night...today my knee feels like hell. * shrug * what can i do? just try to grin and bear it, i guess
1:42 am
jillibus
ups and downs, eh granny?
1:43 am
grannyrose
* rueful smile* yup, guess that's what you call it...but definitely having more ups than downs.
1:44 am
jillibus
that's the spirit :-)
1:44 am
grannyrose
thanx jilli, you are so good for me.
1:44 am
jillibus
just keep piling up the ups
1:47 am
grannyrose
have just given and taken some oxycodone, my first since 9:30pm last night, that makes it 19 hours. is that an up, do you think?
1:47 am
jillibus
definitely an up
1:49 am
grannyrose
i try to stay positive, especially here in the chog...but some days i just wanna scream " UNFAIR " at the world
1:51 am
grannyrose
would you be so kind as to let me know when i am going overboard? just say something like...settle petal or suck it up, princess. i will understand.
1:51 am
jillibus
oh absolutely -- screaming is good -- gets rid of rage when you feel silly afterwards
1:52 am
jillibus
oh, those are cute -- must remember "settle petal", lol!
1:53 am
grannyrose
* grin * and i am actually smiling.
1:53 am
flosey
rose, you generally have a very positive attitude - and help others with a boost when they need it, I think you need to give yourself a break
1:54 am
grannyrose
ah, flosey, you are still here. how lovely to see you. and thank-you for those kind words
1:54 am
flosey
I was once told to scream into a pillow
1:55 am
grannyrose
i was once told to stop screaming......by the in-charge sister of a labor ward.
1:56 am
flosey
oh oh, in-charge sister wasn't the one in labour
1:56 am
grannyrose
at the time i was in second stage labour AND renal colic. i told her to f****** get on the table and have this baby.
1:56 am
flosey
LOLOL, GOOD FOR YOU
1:57 am
grannyrose
lol, and i remember my obstetrician yelling at her to get the hell out of his delivery room.
1:58 am
flosey
when I had my sons, here in BC, they didn't let us nurse until the colostrum was removed - boobs were like bricks
1:58 am
grannyrose
hmmmm, memories.....and what this pain is nothing compared to that. thanx gals....i am now very thankful for this little pain.
1:59 am
grannyrose
WHAT?????? but that was the best part for the baby!!!!!
1:59 am
flosey
lol, then they wondered why poor babe couldn't latch onto the brick
2:01 am
grannyrose
poor little thing probably kept falling off.
2:01 am
jillibus
I couldn't nurse. No nipples [shame]
2:01 am
flosey
funny now, looking back, but when the nurse grabbed my brick and tried to push it into babes mouth, ouch
2:02 am
jillibus
looked down upon for bottle-feeding
2:03 am
flosey
and yes rose, they have since learned that it was good for the babies, guess they smartened up before the girls came along
2:03 am
grannyrose
oh, jilli. is that really true? but it's no shame! you can't help how your body if formed.
2:04 am
flosey
amazing how much things have changed over the years
2:05 am
flosey
after what Sandra went through, her milk was slow coming in, so they had to supplement, but they managed well, I stayed with her for a few weeks
2:05 am
jillibus
I know, but there's so much talk about the virtues of nursing -- sisters-in-law didn't know my anatomy (too embarrassed to tell) and scorned.
2:05 am
roncook
morning ladies ,i see the topic for today is breast feeding,as a child of the 40s i was breast fed and i have carried on being breast fed. lol !!!
2:06 am
grannyrose

2:15 am
jillibus
that ta 5 is "a mountain-dwelling bovid, Budorcas taxicolor, native to the eastern Himalayas, China, and northern Burma, that resembles a cross between a goat and a musk ox." Who'd a thunk it?
2:15 am
Uncover
hey guys! Thought you might like this saying I found on the net. If life gives you lemons, you should open a lemonade stand. Then, use the profits to buy an assault rifle, and wait and see if life tries that again.
2:15 am

Good morning all... you know there is trouble in Babble land when you see a gerund ending and notice there are only 101 words...
3:44 am
rbud
oh, you and that K, I've been slaving here trying to get it, and still only have 2, lol!
3:44 am
sprite
lol... hiya rbud! I trained myself to do the K first and only then go to other words... it is the only way for me. I get so K-word blind in Babble!
3:45 am
rbud
I know you don't like K's, so you probably now know more K words than most of us as a result, haha!
3:46 am
sprite
roflol! I seriously doubt it. I think I am so clear about my own stupidness with Ks that I try each and every combination, however weird. That is how I found the ka5 today.
3:48 am
rbud
aha, that's one more for me, ty! I also have ki4 x 2 so far.
3:48 am
sprite
that is the only 5 among them, the rest is 4. You need one more ka, and a ko.
3:48 am
rbud
ooh, a ko 4 now
3:49 am
sprite
yay only one to go!
3:49 am
rbud
got it! thanks! :D
3:50 am
sprite
yvw! Now for undulated babble fun :D
3:51 am
sprite
undulated? Undilated? Indulated? Jeezzz. No idea.
3:51 am
rbud
undiluted, maybe?
3:52 am
sprite
that is it! *shamefaced* Undiluted Babble fun.
3:52 am
rbud
though I like undulated, that should mean wiggly, lol
3:53 am
sprite
oh that is what I am mixing up then! Thank you! Yeah, undulated is curvacious and meandering, right? And Undiluted is concentrated, without other things making it less so.
3:54 am
rbud
yes, I think you're right. Very similar words, true.
3:55 am
sprite
with totally different meaning... I will remember now. Thank you :)
3:55 am
rbud
oh! the train outside is making such loud noises, I keep expecting it to derail into our side yard! we're very close to the tracks.

they had a derailment last year pretty close to here, right outside the next town over - no injuries to anyone, but what a mess. the road next to it was blocked for over a week.
3:59 am
sprite
omg... that makes it more than a remote possibility. Asking a busload of protective angels to hover over your house from now on :)
4:01 am
rbud
oh, thanks! I kind of think they do already, we've been lucky a few times. :)

Trailers for sale or rent.... rooms to let 50 cent...old smokeys I have found... short but not to big around... I'm a... man... of means by no means.... K4 of the R4....
4:02 am
sprite
hehehe of course they do, they don't need me to tell them. But it is kinda nice, I always think, to ask them anyway.
4:02 am
rbud
haha, good song! and nearly the whole title here, you're right
4:02 am
sprite
I realised I was singing it and only then realised what had triggered it, grinnn
4:03 am
sprite
found the 8 :D
4:07 am
rbud
oh? what is it? I haven't listed yet, in fact still have two bt's, just been going along slowly, came in very late.
4:07 am
sprite
oh I also have blank tiles still, and even a blank stat. I just play random (except for the Ks). It is Cr8/75. I can clue if you want to.
4:08 am
rbud
is it strange? it certainly didn't jump out at me, lol - maybe I do need a clue.
4:09 am
sprite
no it is a normal word. It uses the beautiful ending. And it means to die, disrespectfully put.
4:09 am
rbud
ooohhhh! there it is, thanks! :D
4:10 am
sprite
yvw :) I don't have a single 7 yet... could you give me stats of one please? If you have it?
4:11 am
rbud
I don't have any either! I was just planning to comb the back chog, since you mentioned blank stats, I noticed my own, lol
4:11 am
sprite
*giggle* No problem, I will hunt on and try silly things then!
4:13 am
rbud
well, it took everyone a while, it seems. one is: at 7, clued as a sword?
4:14 am
sprite
I keep trying corifee. In Dutch, that is someone really famous for what they do... like an actor or singer... someone who has earned their laurels.

4:47 pm
andrew in drag
To be honest, I think you could probably guess that much from the cover! Anyway, I am quitting and heading off to bed...good night! :0
4:47 pm

4:47 pm

Good night and good luck :) and hi and bye, Molly - I've benefited a lot from the various clues you've left in the chat today!
4:48 pm
Jillyjill

4:50 pm
Jillyjill
OK, 40 left...break time BBS *poof*
4:52 pm
MollyL
The only movie that I think is still scary as hell, even by today's standards, is The Exorcist.
4:53 pm

andrew- have you seen any good scary movies lately?
4:58 pm
andrew in drag
I've been scouting around - I think I've gotten a bit desensitised, though! I don't find things so 'scary' anymore. How about you?
4:58 pm
lbuxx
yep.. pretty much where i'm at too.. the trailer for The Possession looks pretty scary though.. lol
4:59 pm

I am not ready for winter, or the holidays. I would like to skip both.
5:23 pm
westford

5:23 pm

5:48 pm
westford
today on Word Warp my first word was Babble
5:49 pm
MollyL
It disturbs me that a 15-year-old knows how to get a disassembled gun into school, assemble it, and shoot someone.
5:50 pm
Jillyjill
Just read it on NBC...looks like the dad was a gun 'nut'...had a sign on front that showed a gun with the words "We don't call 911"...seems pretty evident...
5:52 pm
MollyL
What disturbs me more is that a kid that age harbors so much hate that he would want to shoot someone.
5:52 pm
Jillyjill
And now a 16 and 18 yr old charged with murdering a 5 year old in Niagara NY
5:52 pm
westford
oh jilly
5:54 pm
Jillyjill
Well, bullying is claimed by Dad in the MA shootings, can be a real thing but may be used as an excuse
5:57 pm
MollyL
I don't know. People act like bullying is something new. It's been going on for decades.
5:57 pm
Jillyjill
Phone call...bbl *poof*
6:02 pm

kids taking their own lives and the lives of others takes it up a few notches
