"Hi guys, one of my cousins, Lauren Menagola, 23 is gravely scik with a rare form of leukemia and she's been given maybe a month to live without a donor match. I'm begging all my friends globally to get a blood type test at their local donor centre (red cross in australia 131495) or sign up at the bone marrow registery abmdr.org.au. 7 countries and 20 million donor cross references have failed. please think about getting a canditate match at your local blood centre, or marrow donation centre. When getting tested for a match please reference Lauren Menagola of Perth, Western Australia as the one seeking a match candidate" love to you all and thanks, Omni.

He was a knight (possibly of the round table) but I know it because it was the name of a boys' preparatory school near where I lived in London! They had a pale pink uniform, which I thought a bit weird!

7:10 am

car.eeyore

That is a strange color for a boys school.

Uneaixoise

Oh! young Lochinvar is come out of the west,
Through all the wide Border his steed was the best;
And save his good broadsword he weapons had none.
He rode all unarmed and he rode all alone.
So faithful in love and so dauntless in war,
There never was knight like the young Lochinvar.

7:11 am

Lizlin

That's what I thought and perhaps I've just got that knight info from my memory of the poem Une just quoted!

7:11 am

car.eeyore

TY Une!

7:12 am

Uneaixoise

:-)

7:12 am

car.eeyore

I also would like the second N from the bottom left? I have ni 4/4.

7:12 am

Lizlin

I also have ni 4 /4!

7:15 am

car.eeyore

Good grief...I just looked at Lickety really quickly...there are 3 ix words!?!?!?

7:16 am

Lizlin

I have them!!!! Monkeyed 2 of them - knew one!

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

ix4 is like the dolphin babblet

7:16 am

car.eeyore

I got the ix 4

7:16 am

Lizlin

That was the one I knew!

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

ix5: ix + men's neckwear . . . and plural

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

nooooo sorry -- need new glasses

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

change the middle vowel in neckwear to a consonant LOL

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

and plural

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

is that sufficiently confusing? LOL

7:18 am

car.eeyore

I got 'em anyway! TY Une!

7:18 am

Uneaixoise

7:35 am

MimiCat

Hi, Mom! Good grid today.

7:35 am

Mom

hello MimiCat

7:36 am

Mom

so far so good on this grid

7:36 am

MimiCat

Finally, a grid that makes me feel competent!

7:36 am

Mom

:-)

7:37 am

MimiCat

I feel funny calling you Mom---I'm older than you are!

7:37 am

MimiCat

7:37 am

Mom

not by much though

7:38 am

MimiCat

Bless you.

7:38 am

Mom

only 6 years, we could be sisters

7:39 am

Mom

ooohhh, got the fish ..... ti 7/32

7:39 am

MimiCat

Some days I feel like I'm 90! But other days, only 40. So I guess it evens out!

7:40 am

Mom

it does

7:40 am

MimiCat

Glad you got the fish and said so---now I have it, too!

7:40 am

Mom

:-)

7:43 am

MimiCat

Glad I finally have a grid that's easier to do. Yesterday I wore my monkeys out! I had to stop because they were starting to mutiny!

7:44 am

Mom

lol, I didn't play yesterday

7:44 am

MimiCat

Be glad---be very glad.

7:45 am

Mom

a large grid?

7:45 am

MimiCat

It wasn't the size, it was just an unfriendly one.

7:45 am

Mom

glad I didn

7:45 am

Mom

't miss a large one. I like those

7:46 am

Mom

breakfast is finished, time to start my day. ((Hugs)) to all of you

7:46 am

MimiCat

I like the larger ones because there's more to play with and, so, I feel like I'm accomplishing something! Don't think I'll live long enough to ever get fireworks, though!

7:47 am

Mom

oh you will.

7:47 am

MimiCat

Have a good day, Mom---hug back.

7:47 am

Mom

((Mimi)) I will and I hope you do as well

Yep, new calendar is finally up on kitchen wall.

{{MimiCat}}!!!!

8:53 am

MimiCat

Is crossy here today? I have a bacon story.

8:55 am

MimiCat

In case you didn't see it yesterday, I offered my mock chile relleno recipe which is only 4 ingredients, easy, and better the second day. If any of you want it, send me an em at catjdesigns@yahoo.com and I'll be glad to send it. I sent 4 yesterday.

8:55 am

car.eeyore

Oh yum!!! car.eeyore@gmail.com

8:55 am

car.eeyore

I have not seen him yet, but I was gone for a bit

8:57 am

MimiCat

Will send it out in a few minutes, car. I also have a great chicken paprikash and a cauliflowe/chicken/potato/onion/cheese casserole that are easy and delicious. Will send those, too, if you want them.

8:57 am

car.eeyore

Yes, please! TY very much!

8:57 am

MimiCat

My specialty is creating really good but really easy dishes.

8:57 am

MimiCat

My pleasure!

8:58 am

car.eeyore

Right up my alley!

8:58 am

MimiCat

The relleno dish is especially good to take along to potluck and the like. It can be used as a main dish, brunch, breakfast or appetizer.

8:59 am

MimiCat

OK---going to go to my em and send those right out to you, car. Back later.

9:00 am

car.eeyore

Bye Sweetie! Just 2 left so I will be heading out soon.

9:01 am

MimiCat

Don't think I'll ever just have 2 left, let alone fireworks. But this grid has been friendly. Yesterday I wore out my monkeys to the point I think they were planning a mutiny!

9:01 am

car.eeyore

I am using the list in Lickety to get it finished.

9:01 am

car.eeyore

But, I didn't realize the time! Must scoot and get those last two later.

9:02 am

MimiCat

Bye, car---check your em later.

9:26 am

JBV

it's my full name @gmail.com

9:26 am

JBV

minor damage from falling branches, a few roof tiles flew off - haven't even had an estimate yet - no emergency so far

9:27 am

JBV

I know plenty of people who suffered terribly, so I don't complain at all

9:27 am

Scrabbler

((JBV)) Yes, that storm caused such devastation and tragedy.

9:28 am

Scrabbler

OK, must get going. Bye kiddos

9:39 am

we used to look for the fish in every grid... almost always has one.

9:41 am

smores

lol...yes it does

9:42 am

smores

then theres the sl4, what we do with the obvious "fish" words...lol

9:42 am

sprite

hahaha true. A babble grid that describes the game?

9:44 am

smores

so other than the sleepiness, are your new meds helping sprite?

9:44 am

sprite

yes they are. I didn't have a single panic attack, all through the fireworks. That is something HUGE for me.

9:44 am

smores

YAY so glad to hear it :)

9:45 am

sprite

:) thank you for caring!

9:45 am

smores

my daughter suffers from panic attacks as well...definately not fun

9:46 am

sprite

no, they are not. And it is not just the pills that help, I had to learn many coping strategies as well. Panic is a sneaky thing!

9:46 am

smores

hers usually come if in a huge crowd for very long or if she is already upset about something.

9:47 am

gemini_J13

does babble ever make mistakes on points... ax 4/9,,,, it is 4/8?

9:48 am

gemini_J13

oops

9:48 am

gemini_J13

my mistake,,, guess babble doesn't

9:48 am

sprite

I can relate to the crowd thing. And yes, being upset already makes the trigger threshold lower. Being upset is one of those moments when you need to use th other strategies... calm yourself down before the panic attacks.

9:48 am

sprite

hi gemini, no it doesn't, it is computer automated and has no bugs left. :)

9:49 am

good morning my babble friends:)

smores

agree sprite, she has learned to recognize that one is about to start and it able to calm herself down before she goes into a full attack

9:55 am

sprite

that is wonderful, smores. That helps so much.

9:56 am

rururocks

<--- I like being agitated

9:56 am

sprite

hi ruru, we know you do, lol. But not for panic attacks, I bet.

9:57 am

rururocks

mrs ru had one once.. it was weird

9:57 am

rururocks

I have never had one

9:57 am

sprite

and the most important thing: not to panic about the panic.

9:57 am

smores

I thought you just liked to agitate

9:57 am

sprite

keep it that way, ruru.

9:57 am

rururocks

10:55 am

hehehe...too funny :)

10:56 am

i went dressed to the same party as Malcolm X. . . we always had a good time

10:56 am

10:57 am

jmcnrick

sl** me with a fish . . . I will get thrown in the pb if i ask to get sl***ed

10:57 am

carleekat

i think though i rather be a bit practical... and just buy a nice little black cocktail dress that can be used over and over... and go to town with the accessories ( which are cheaper)

10:58 am

jmcnrick

i think that makes sense. . . most of what we wore was somethine we already had. . .

then again we have had spake for decades and it is a frankenfish

11:04 am

crosshair

splake

11:05 am

jmcnrick

why do you call them that? were they created by breeding? then everything you eat is that pretty much

11:05 am

crosshair

frankenfish are any fish intentionally modified or altered by man

11:05 am

jmcnrick

breed?

11:06 am

jmcnrick

*bred

11:06 am

crosshair

no,more crossbred or altered at genetic level

11:06 am

crosshair

i do not mean just farmed like salmon is

11:07 am

carleekat

ok....reading the spark note summary to refresh the brain on the great gatsby..daughter has an essay due...

11:07 am

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilapia they go back to Egypt

11:08 am

crosshair

but with many natural stock running out(cod etc) it is the wave of the future

11:08 am

jmcnrick

ugh i just finally read that book. . . i can see why fitzgerald was thought a brilliant writer. . . he was evocative. . . but the plot is SOOOOOO stupid and contrived

11:08 am

crosshair

interesting.i am mistaken then.did not know it was an old breed

11:08 am

carleekat

thing is...all our flu vaccines are genetically modified etc... and we take injections for that and any other vaccine... so I fail to see why people get al tied in a knot over food too... technically we have chosen varieties that are plentiful for our own sustainance over the years and that has modified the population of plants and animals in and of itself

11:09 am

jmcnrick

i just know that a friend of mine the late Ransom Meyers was a fan. . .and i figured he knew what he was talking about

11:10 am

jmcnrick

all the cattle and pigs and sheep and corn and wheat . . all have been bred. . .

11:11 am

jmcnrick

i think people are worrying that making changes by actually manipulating genes is a risky thing to do. . .

11:11 am

crosshair

go back far enough and i am sure you will find animals and veggies that are growing natural without the hand of man..but we digress

11:12 am

jmcnrick

and the creating of patents for plants has definately had questionnable results. . . although i have a friend, Neil Peterson, who is Mr. PawPaw and has pawpaw patents

11:12 am

Aloyisius

if you don't have any lice babies, you are "nitless", but enable doesn't agree.. hi all, (scratches head anyway)..

11:12 am

11:13 am

DH had his first PTsession at the therapists office today. So this afternoon; he decided he was going to put together his new office chair without my help and he pulls something in his neck! I sent him to bed with some tylenol and ice and told him to behave.

8:48 pm

8:49 pm

smores

what's up with your computer?

8:50 pm

smores

hello...

8:52 pm

MimiCat

Evening, all! {{smores}}

8:53 pm

smores

{Mimi} hi...thought I was all alone

8:54 pm

MimiCat

Just you and me tonight? I'll have to start telling jokes.

8:54 pm

smores

grid today is a pita

8:54 pm

MimiCat

I like this one...I have more than half...that's great for me.

8:55 pm

smores

great :)

8:55 pm

MimiCat

This game is so weird. With the others I play I always feel quite superior but this one makes me feel slow. Hate that.

8:56 pm

smores

there are some very strange words today

8:57 pm

MimiCat

I think I only found the mostly normal ones. The strange ones will probably continue to elude me.

8:57 pm

smores

I'm totally hooked...I play on pogo sometimes....but I like that it isn't timed or rushed

8:57 pm

MimiCat

Did you say you were making the souffle tonight?

8:58 pm

smores

and of course the people are awesome :)

8:58 pm

MimiCat

Well, certainly so!

8:59 pm

smores

I didn't get to make it...ran my daughter and her friend around...ran some errands and totally spaced going to the store

8:59 pm

smores

I'll go tomorrow and get some cream cheese

9:00 pm

MimiCat

Did you get the relleno recipe and the others OK? The souffle is the only one that isn't my recipe and I haven't tried it yet myself.

9:01 pm

smores

yes...thank you the relleno sounds wonderful...the swiss cheese one sounds a little weird though :)

9:01 pm

MimiCat

I know what you mean. When my mother told me about it I didn't think it sounded good at all but, trust me, it is absolutely fabulous.

9:02 pm

MimiCat

It has the combo sweet and salty thing going on.

9:03 pm

smores

I like sweet and salty :)

9:03 pm

MimiCat

That's why you like ME!!!

9:03 pm

smores

LOL

9:04 pm

MimiCat

â™ªâ™ªI'm so vainâ™ªâ™ª

9:04 pm

smores

I do have a ? about the relleno recipe

9:04 pm

MimiCat

What is that?

9:04 pm

smores

betcha think this song is about ya

9:04 pm

smores

lol

9:05 pm

smores

you say large can of paste...what size?

9:05 pm

smores

I have a couple of the little cans...think they are 5oz

9:06 pm

MimiCat

I think it's the 10 oz. size. There is the itty bitty can and then the large can sizes. Best to get too much than too little as far as I'm concerned. I LOVE tomato paste. You can use two of the little ones. Be generous with the tomato paste and really pile it on.

9:07 pm

MimiCat

It's also better, I think, if you put salt on top before eating or when reheating.

9:07 pm

smores

okay...I wasn't sure if you meant the huge 20something size or just the regular size can

9:08 pm

MimiCat

I wasn't even aware tomato paste came in a size that large....ooooh, now I'm all excited!

9:08 pm

smores

I always have some of the small ones on hand...comes in handy for so many things

9:09 pm

MimiCat

I love it so much I'm tempted to smear it all over my body!

9:09 pm

smores

maybe I'm thinking of tomato sauce

9:09 pm

smores

LOL...Mimi

9:09 pm

MimiCat

I'm looking forward to tomorrow....am doing a full-on singing rehearsal. Gotta keep the chops up!

9:10 pm

smores

I did bathe in tomato juice before

9:10 pm

MimiCat

Did you get dowsed by a skunk?

9:10 pm

smores

oooo...that sound lovely

9:10 pm

smores

yep...pepe got me

9:11 pm

smores

tell me more about your rehearsal

9:11 pm

MimiCat

Yep---will be belting out some Heart and Pat Benatar and also Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride and Linda Ronstadt. I really miss being on stage---such a showoff!

9:12 pm

smores

lol...would looove to hear you

9:12 pm

smores

so the rehearsal is for....?

9:14 pm

MimiCat

Have studied music since I was 8---voice and piano---and am classically trained in voice. Just know my voice coach rolls over in her grave when I do rock music...ask me if I care! Oh, I'm just keeping my voice in shape right now. I do want to go back to doing corporate parties, though, when my health will allow. Can't keep a good woman down for long!

9:15 pm

smores

that is awesome Mimi...wish you the best

9:15 pm

smores

oh...I almost forgot again, I meant to ask you last time about your photos

9:16 pm

MimiCat

Hey, if Tina Turner can still do it, so can I!! She's a decade older than I am!

9:16 pm

MimiCat

Which photos?

9:16 pm

smores

the dog and cat...are those yours?

9:17 pm

smores

also the jaguar(?) and retreiver is simply precious

9:18 pm

MimiCat

No---those were sent by a friend. I don't have any of "my own" photos up yet. Somehow the pics I have of me and my family didn't make it to the new computer so I've asked my best friend to em them to me. Did you get the story about the new icon pic I have now?

9:19 pm

smores

Well, they are adorable. No, I don't know the story behind the icon.

9:20 pm

MimiCat

I wish I had some pictures of me with some of the animals I've worked with...lions, tigers, no bears...and gorillas, chimps, orangutans. Oh, the stories!

9:20 pm

smores

Would love to work with big cats

9:20 pm

MimiCat

This new pic is of Monument Valley here in northeastern Arizona on Navajo land. It is a VERY spiritual place for me and starkly beautiful.

9:21 pm

MimiCat

Tigers are the BEST...can't trust the lions or leopards.

9:21 pm

MimiCat

Gorillas are amazing wonderful, orangutans can go either way, but chimps are the DARK side.

9:21 pm

smores

It is a beautiful pic...would love to see in real life

9:22 pm

smores

maybe make it out there someday

9:22 pm

MimiCat

I'll always have a room ready for you, my dear.

9:22 pm

smores

've heard that before about chimps...

9:23 pm

smores

hmmmm...my I somehow didn't make it...lol

9:23 pm

smores

Careful there Mimi, I might take you up on that...lol

9:31 pm

MimiCat

That is fabulous, car!!!

9:31 pm

smores

wow...that is weird and awesome

9:31 pm

car.eeyore

I can't even imagine it would be her cousin as they are in Australia (I think) but the coincidence blew me away.

9:32 pm

MimiCat

We're all in a big circle, car, and should realize how connected we are to each other.

9:32 pm

car.eeyore

Anyway...I just wanted to share that with my Babble friends.. If anyone "sees" her, let her know for me!

9:32 pm

car.eeyore

I know...it really is amazing some times, isn't it?!?!?

9:33 pm

smores

9:33 pm

car.eeyore

9:33 pm

MimiCat

Truly. The universe is a constant source of amazement for me.

9:33 pm

And, of course, {{HUG}} for you, too!!

9:35 pm

smores
