1:09 am

VolleymomDee

every bit of our snow in our yard is gone... really odd for this time of the year

1:10 am

1:10 am

cosdem

VolleymomDee

I think we are reverting to your weather, flosey

1:15 am

cosdem

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

our house stays toasty in the winter, but it was super expensive to keep it cold last summer - hoping this year is not so horribly hot

1:17 am

cosdem

"but it's a dry heat......." :P thats all I ever hear here when its hot out

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

LOL... to me, hot is hot, whether it is dry or humid :)

flosey

I can stand heat but can't handle humidity

1:18 am

cosdem

I was raised in Chicago -- humidity is bad there and we didnt have a/c so I know humidity. will never go thru that again lol

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

I, too, can't handle humidity.

1:18 am

RA?

1:36 am

jillibus

How's your vertigo, flosey?

1:37 am

flosey

I do have a list of them jilli, but didn't refer to it tonight

1:42 am

jillibus

1:43 am

flosey

1:44 am

flosey

a communication between groups

1:44 am

jillibus

by George, I got it (not your George)

1:44 am

flosey

lol, good for you

1:44 am

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

ty so much... found this one frustrating

1:47 am

jillibus

flosey -- how did you know grannyrose's arnica cream arrived in the mail today? I just unwrapped the package after getting home tonight.

1:48 am

flosey

lol, I assumed you had bought some here after your accident

1:48 am

flosey

Rose will be please to hear it came at the right time

1:48 am

jillibus

no, I didn't.

1:49 am

flosey

well, she will be doubly pleased

1:49 am

jillibus

It has a strong euclayptus odour

1:49 am

jillibus

I'll try it tonight -- hope it doesn't keep me awake!

1:49 am

flosey

I don't think I've ever used it but I like that smell

1:50 am

jillibus

I've never used it. Hope it helps as much as she expects.

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

That is one aroma that makes me congested almost immediately.

1:51 am

flosey

sure beats the smell of Lakota

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

unfamiliar with that

1:51 am

jillibus

I have some sleeping pills the doc prescribed too...

1:52 am

flosey

that'll help

1:52 am

jillibus

Lakota???

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

just be careful mixing the sleeping pills with vodka

1:52 am

flosey

yes pharmacy sells it

1:52 am

jillibus

of course, dee

1:52 am

flosey

it's great when shoulder gets bad

1:53 am

jillibus

What is Lakota?

1:53 am

jillibus

sounds like an Indian tribe

1:54 am

flosey

it's an ointment, comes in a tube with sponge applicator

1:54 am

dcseain

Lakota are a Sioux band in the Dakotas.

1:54 am

flosey

yes, has a picture of an Indian on it

1:54 am

jillibus

what's it made of?

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

Well, hugs to both of you. Going to check emails! Have a restful sleep, you two!

1:54 am

flosey

1:54 am

jillibus

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

1:55 am

flosey

I'd have to disturb hubby to get it jilli - will email it

1:55 am

flosey

it's the strongest I've found

1:55 am

jillibus

Will do, thanks, dee

1:55 am

jillibus

never mind, flosey -- I'll google it

1:55 am

flosey

hi Seain - don't see much of you these days

1:56 am

flosey

of course, jilli

1:56 am

dcseain

i've been playing intermittently. Tonight i'm up late for no apparent reason. I've also been ill.

1:57 am

dcseain

I had a flu, which lead to a torn calf muscle, and ED visit, and my left leg is still 1/3 larger than my right.

1:57 am

flosey

sorry to hear that, Seain, hope nothing too serious

1:57 am

dcseain

I start PT on Thursday

1:57 am

flosey

oh dear, have you been off work with this

1:57 am

dcseain

i hope so too, but my calf was swollen -- injury site. Hospital did an ultrasound to rule out clot, and since then why whole leg has been swollen.

1:58 am

flosey

nasty

1:58 am

dcseain

i'm dong better, but i have a couple months more recovery. I did switch from cane to walking stick, which is progress :) And i can usually do stairs now without much difficulty, which is nice.

1:59 am

dcseain

trying to be upbeat about progress, else i'll be in the dumps about the swelling.

1:59 am

flosey

yes, very frustrating, let alone the pain

2:00 am

dcseain

happily, the last week pain has been much less. I've been able to drive again -- i drive a manual, and my left leg is the one injured.

2:01 am

grannyrose

awww, dcs, so sorry to see what you have been through.

2:01 am

jillibus

why did the flu lead to the swollen leg, dc? I've been wondering why you were ailing (via FB) and figured I'd missed something when I was out of the loop around Xmas

2:01 am

flosey

good luck with the PT, well, at least that is lucky - no need to use the left anymore for driving

2:02 am

jillibus

BTW, Lakota ingredients are Medicinal Ingredients (w/w):Menthol 3%Capsaicin 0.035%Non-medicinal ingredients: Purified water, carbomer (Ultrez 10), germaben II, Ethyl Alcohol, Triethanolamine.

2:02 am

dcseain

i hurt my calf initially in August -- it healed. On 17 Dec i had fever of the teeth-chattering kind. Went to bed. Woke up having kicked off the quilt and the blanket, and with a sore calf.

2:02 am

flosey

it works jilli, best I've found

2:02 am

dcseain

i need my left operate the clutch.

2:03 am

jillibus

time for an automatic, dc?

2:03 am

flosey

thought all cars were automatic

2:04 am

dcseain

i've avoided it thus far, and only had to go 3 weeks w/out driving. I have friends i can swap cars with, though it didn't occur to me to ask. :)

2:04 am

grannyrose

hey, not before i get mine, jilli. lol. still driving a manual here.

2:04 am

dcseain

Nope; i sourced my CRV for the manual.

2:05 am

grannyrose

and guess what! i have just realised i have gone 13 hours without analgesia....and i have been to work and all.

2:05 am

dcseain

it was the only one with a manual transmission for a couple hundred miles around. Happily nearby on the subway.

2:05 am

flosey

good for you rose

2:05 am

grannyrose

dcs, i wouldn't give up my little yaris for all the tea in china.

2:05 am

dcseain

that's wonderful news, rose

2:06 am

jillibus

Well, waddaya know -- capsaicin is is the active component of chili peppers!

2:06 am

dcseain

yes, and it's a great numbing agent, too

2:06 am

jillibus

Oh granny -- so glad to see y ou -- your wonderful cream arrived in the mail today! That was fast!

2:06 am

grannyrose

i also found out why my knee looks so totally different to the left.

2:07 am

dcseain

oh? Nothing serious i hope.

2:07 am

grannyrose

apparently the muscles are amputated during surgery and stitched back into place after the prosthesis is in situ.

2:07 am

dcseain

ah, that makes sense.

2:08 am

grannyrose

so NOW i HAVE to have the other knee done, so that they match...

2:08 am

jillibus

manuals can be fun, but a bit tough in hilly cities with traffic lights.

2:09 am

dcseain

yes, i live in a hilly area with lights. There's a hill in the neighborhood i grew up in that most people where i grew up were taught to drive because it's a very steep grade to a traffic light.

2:09 am

grannyrose

awww, jilli....my little yaris gives a lot of peeps a surprise. it has a very short gear-box. and it takes off like a ferrari. lol

2:09 am

dcseain

i learned in a VW Super Beetle, and people are surprised by how little rollback i have on hills; they know nothing of those old VW clutches. LOL

2:09 am

flosey

can just see you coming rose

2:10 am

grannyrose

yeah, that was one thing good about the veedubs. the gear-box!!!

2:11 am

jillibus

well, I'm gald I have an auto -- the Subaru drives very nicely and responsively

2:11 am

dcseain

I had a subaru once -- great cars.

2:11 am

flosey

glad you like it jilli

2:11 am

grannyrose

the yaris on the other hand, you have to rev on a hand-brake start...and the tyres always chirp. gives me the giggles.

2:12 am

dcseain

hah, nice rose

2:12 am

jillibus

granny -- did you see my message to you at 2:06

2:12 am

grannyrose

not that i'm a lead-foot or anything. * grin *

2:13 am

grannyrose

yes, dearest. loved the pics. what a view!!!!

2:14 am

jillibus

2:27 am

jillibus

2:40 am

grannyrose

jellen, what a buzz!!! too exciting!

2:40 am

Lizlin

Sounds great Jellen :)

2:40 am

grannyrose

oh, great liz...was it all it's made out to be?

2:41 am

Jivingjenny0

I saw Les Mis last Friday and thought it was wonderful. I was a bit unsure of going as I have seen it in London 20 times

2:41 am

Lizlin

I really enjoyed it - saw the show years ago in London but I don't like Hugh Jackman's voice - too much vibrato!

2:42 am

grannyrose

okay, will warn DH before we go, lol.

2:42 am

Lizlin

Really recommend it but be prepared - it's almost 3 hours!

2:42 am

Lizlin

Time flew by though

2:43 am

grannyrose

so go potty before we go into theatre? and no drinks?

2:44 am

grannyrose

liz, now that tassie seems to have died down...planning our holiday over there. looks like we will be going over on the 31st.

2:45 am

Lizlin

Absolutely - got home, downed lots of water and ran to the loo!

2:45 am

grannyrose

rofl.....maybe i won't run....just a fast walk.....

2:45 am

Lizlin

That's fantastic Rose - I hope there's not too much devastation where you're planning to go. You really need a holiday after last year!

2:47 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah....and so does DH. he has been taking care of both mother mac and i. we are planning on driving straight down the middle to hobart.

2:47 am

Lizlin

How long will you take?

2:49 am

grannyrose

looks like 11 days. 4 in hobart alone, then travelling up the east coast, to hawley beach, where we will stay for 2 nights before coming home.

2:50 am

Lizlin

A well deserved break - then dh will be relaxed enough when he gets home, to build your kitchen for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2:50 am

grannyrose

ROFL....yeah, right....

2:50 am

Lizlin

The response I expected!

2:51 am

grannyrose

glad i didn't let you down...

2:51 am

Lizlin

I'll get to Tassie sometime - I know it's Australia but Ikeep saying there's so much of the mainland I want to see!

2:51 am

Lizlin

You didn't but I can hope...

2:52 am

grannyrose

yeah i know....we still have to see northern territory and western australia.

2:52 am

Lizlin

... for your kitchen, that is!

2:52 am

grannyrose

oh, and the daintree rainforest.

2:53 am

Lizlin

We've been to the Daintree - lovely - went up there from Cairns, when we had friends from UK staying with us. I also want to go to NT and WA - also to SA!

2:54 am

Lizlin

I imagine there's so much more of NSW and Vic too - I really haven't seen much yet!

2:54 am

grannyrose

okay, almost 8pm here...and DH is still on the desk-top....worms are biting...think i will move him along a little.

2:55 am

Lizlin

See you later - have a good evening :)

3:03 am

grannyrose

later liz. have a good one, hun

3:33 am

sprite

good morning all!

3:45 am

Jellen

Hi, sprite (if you're still there).

3:45 am

sprite

hi Jellen :) Yes, am working on the dratted Ks. How've you been?

3:45 am

lynxxx

Hello Jellen and Sprite

3:46 am

sprite

hi lyn :) xxx

3:51 am

sprite

yay, Ks killed.

3:52 am

lynxxx

I'm impressed

3:52 am

sprite

don't be... they took me about 20 minutes!

3:55 am

Jellen

Oy, wandered away...I've been fine, thanks!

3:55 am

sprite

good to hear, Jellen :)

3:56 am

lynxxx

nice to see you Jellen

3:59 am

sprite

yayyy I can go and collect my new glasses!

4:00 am

lynxxx

your first pair?

4:00 am

sprite

no, but my first pair with reading help. And my first new ... what is it called in english? The outside, in which the actual glasses fit. That is new, first time in over 10 years.

4:01 am

lynxxx

frames

4:01 am

xeiluj

Frames, good to get new ones, I always do!

4:02 am

sprite

that's it. Stupid, how I sometimes cannot come up with the most basic words. New frames. I am so happy with them. Will go out (in the snow) and get them after Babble.

4:03 am

sprite

hi xeiluj, I usually don't spend that kind of money on myself, life is very expensive here with two kids. But I had to, mine were so old and damaged.

4:04 am

xeiluj

True, mine is all grown up and flown the nest so i do have some spare money now and again. Good to tret yourself once in a while though. Hope they look good x

4:05 am

sprite

they do :D Am totally happy with them.

4:05 am

lynxxx

new frame/glasses are a treat I give myself each year. Our private health insurance allows $200 per year, so go every year and find some fun frames and have single lenses put in. My treat for me.

4:06 am

sprite

oh wow! Good insurance! I get 150 euro every two years now, with my former insurance it was 130 every 3 years.

4:06 am

xeiluj

I find the frames are the cheapest part, the lens are so expensive.

4:07 am

sprite

true, here as well. My frame is only 80 euro. Very reasonable. But the lenses....

4:08 am

lynxxx

I just get single lenses rather than bi-focals - they are sooo expensive - the singles are only $70. And I have lots of glasses, dark, long distance, and reading - silly I know

4:08 am

sprite

no, not silly. Another way to go about it and I think it is a smart one.

4:11 am

TheLegend

lo

4:12 am

sprite

lo Leg :)

4:12 am

lynxxx

I am about to pick up some new ones actually - they only cost $120 for the whole lot (EUR95).

4:12 am

lynxxx

hi Legend

4:12 am

sprite

wow lyn, that is very cheap!

4:14 am

TheLegend

li

4:14 am

lynxxx

I just look at the cheaper frames - usually end of lines but I always find ones that really suit me

4:14 am

lynxxx

li lo ? what are you on about Legend?

4:14 am

sprite

how nice :)

4:15 am

sprite

lol Legend...

4:17 am

lynxxx

ki4.8 & li7.28, people will start to ta4.8

4:18 am

*grin* for sure

4:18 am

gardner08

yay. got fireworks!!!

4:18 am

lynxxx

Hooray for Gardner!

4:18 am

sprite

wtg gardner!!!!

4:19 am

gardner08

ha thanks, maybe i can start getting them daily. but highly doubt it

4:19 am

sprite

no need to make it a must. But when you get it, it is fun :)

4:20 am

gardner08

if there were only 24 extra hours a day itd be nice

4:21 am

sprite

yeah I know the feeling. But knowing people, we'd just be as busy as we are now.

4:21 am

gardner08

probably true. don't mind busy though

4:22 am

lynxxx

it is fun when you can take your time and do it without any 'aids'

4:22 am

gardner08

i ask on here once in a while. or i ask my mother for help as well

4:22 am

sprite

always do it that way, except with huge grids and lack of time... then I take a look at the list for the last small ones.

4:23 am

sprite

ah, that is fun too, gardner. Asking help is not really considered an 'aid', I think.

4:24 am

gardner08

maybe not. she kicks my butt at any word game so i always ask her

4:24 am

lynxxx

does she play here gardner?

4:24 am

gardner08

yes she does

4:24 am

sprite

that is awesome. I love it when people rock at word games.

4:24 am

gardner08

i cant think of her login though

4:27 am

sprite

no matter, you are welcome here on your own accord ;)

4:29 am

gardner08

ha thanks. well must get some sleep. work every day until saturday. will probably be on here same time tomorrow

4:29 am

sprite

ok, have a peaceful night and a good day at work

4:29 am

lynxxx

bye gardner

4:30 am

goodbye and goodnight

5:49 am

MollyL

I vote to have all words that start with aa removed from the English language. : )

5:50 am

Dachef

I know some aardvarks who might be a bit annoyed about that.

6:00 am

MollyL

Yes, but we could give them a cool new name. Don't you think they are tired of a weird name that most people can't spell?

6:01 am

Dachef

true. But maybe they're really quite vain and enjoy the notoriety. Thats why they have evolved such big noses - so that they can put them in the air and lord it over the other animals: "oh, you're called a shrew? what a crap name. We're aardvarks."

6:02 am

MollyL

They probably look at dingos and think "hey, how come they got that cool name we and got stuck with aardvark?"

6:03 am

MollyL

Hmm, I never thought of aardvarks as snooty.

6:03 am

Dachef

I suppose sometimes it doesn't help to be first in line after all.

6:05 am

gran

si 6/18; si 7/28 - clue please

6:06 am

Dachef

si6: colour description. Usually 'burnt' or 'red' on paint charts. The 7 is the plural.

6:07 am

gran

Just found them

6:07 am

MollyL

It's burnt in the Crayola box too. That is the way I remember the word. : )

Good morning

7:07 am

MimiCat

Morning, all. I have a "crossy type" tidbit for you this morning. Do you know why the giant panda is black and white in color since it lives in lush green forests?

7:11 am

MimiCat

It is so they can find each other to mate. They have no natural predators so do not need camouflage and are very spread out in their environment so it helps them find each other.

7:11 am

car.eeyore

No, why?

7:11 am

car.eeyore

Oh! cool!

7:12 am

MimiCat

7:17 am

car.eeyore

Hi mimicat. Another winner of a morning here.

7:18 am

MimiCat

Tough grid to me. I'm still trying to see all the words most of you find a bit easier than I do. Getting better, though!

7:18 am

car.eeyore

It takes time. Just enjoy the process.

7:18 am

MimiCat

I"m still crazy for phantoms, though!

7:27 am

car.eeyore

turnip and turnpike for me today!

7:28 am

MimiCat

talisman is my favorite today.

7:29 am

MimiCat

I like to make up words, too. Keeps me entertained!

7:35 am

MimiCat

Gotta go for now. HAGD, car and everyone!

7:58 am

car.eeyore

Totally have forgotten to do that. That is why I am such a mess.

7:59 am

eieios

i am right there with you car. feeling the same way today. weather isn't helping either.... it is definitely a hide from the world day for me too. bleh

7:59 am

smores

you said you had plenty of help...any chance to get out and maybe take in a movie or lunch out with a friend? Maybe just a nice drive would help.

7:59 am

car.eeyore

Hello eieios. I just can't though and that is all I want to do. I AM GOING to take some time and go to the gym today and run. I will probably break down and cry but I have got to get some of this stress out.

8:00 am

smores

ooo...the gym, that should definately help car...do they have a sauna :)

8:01 am

eieios

i have tons of work waiting for me, but am procratinating getting ready by babbling. need to hit the grocery store too. plus other things weighing on my mind.

8:01 am

eieios

hope to have time for the treadmill later. we will see. with four kids to get homework done and dinner to cook and the groceries, it may not happen....

8:02 am

eieios

i got a workout in yesterday, and it did help. just gotta pull myself up by those bootstraps!

8:02 am

car.eeyore

eieios...I will make a pact with you right now...if you walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes for yourself today, I will do the same.

8:03 am

car.eeyore

You obviously know, like I do, that we are better Moms once we take even a few minutes for ourselves.

8:03 am

smores

yes eieios, somedays harder to do than others, but we still have to do it

8:04 am

smores

sooo true car :)

8:04 am

smores

lol...something else you can do car, read your profile :)

8:04 am

8:04 am

car.eeyore

No shit, eh?!?!/

8:19 am

ty Molly. You are true blue (whatever that means....)

8:21 am

crosshair

i love using sausages,they are so versitile

8:22 am

rubyfoo

the only problem is, you can't buy those here so when DIL comes from California, she brings many frozen ones and I use them for months

8:22 am

crosshair

our butcher makes some very nice honey garlic sausages

8:22 am

crosshair

sounds like good quality food is tough to get in your area ruby

8:23 am

rubyfoo

the only good sausage we get here is veal sausage (boudin blanc) from Switzerland. The locally-made boudin has too much nutmeg to suit me. Also, we get good blood sausage, but my husband won't stay in the room if I eat it

The kids I am really, really worried about are the kids whose parents parked them in front of the Teletubbies show.

10:19 am

jmcnrick

that is an urban legend . . . mr rogers was never in the military

10:19 am

Jeff7

well, maybe not the teltubbies...

10:19 am

Jeff7

I thought it might have been a myuth

10:19 am

Jeff7

But if Mr. Rogers was in the military, he would have made it a better place to serve :)

10:19 am

The trick is in what one emphasizes.
We either make ourselves miserable,

The amount of work is the same.

Someone was on here yesterday using words like "awful" and "nightmare" and "terrible" and it made me sad because there is no hope in that.

We are hovering around freezing but above it now. There was an air stagnation alert and we can't use the fireplace until the air starts moving.

4:36 pm

Cos, I believe you attract what you think. So if your thoughts are all full of positive and hope, you attract the positive. If your thoughts are all full of worry and fret, you attract the negative.

No telling.

We lived in Texas years ago near San Antonio. Great place. But we're not true Texans.

4:52 pm

I should have guessed. 90% of the imports in the DC metro area come here because of military or government connections.

5:05 pm

Tough grid, though, couldn't even reach half

5:06 pm

O think of Texas every day because that's where my son is.....

5:06 pm

Blizzard? a flurry of words now and then but not a blizzard here, ruby.

5:06 pm

some strange words and then quite a few follow that build off of the strange word.

5:06 pm

it snowed very lightly all day, but now it's not kidding. Very pretty and the dogs love it

ta** 4. It has 4 words which build off of it.

5:09 pm

stidgmere

What did they ask for? from Texas?

5:09 pm

Bugsaw

The eldest wanted a T-shirt with Texas on it. The next one wanted a sweatshirt with Texas on it. The 4 year old considered it and said, "Well, I hear they have good horses there."

5:09 pm

Champfit. I was born in Houston.

5:12 pm

ChampFit

Really? Where?

5:12 pm

mirandapan

At St. Joseph's still there, and you can see it on the way to Galveston.

5:13 pm

ChampFit

I know...I drive by it occasionally. I was born there too! Back 50 years ago, most everyone was!

5:14 pm

mirandapan

Yep--I was born much earlier than that, however. The nuns chastised my mother for naming me Kay (not a real name), but she stood her ground, although my middle name is Anne, which placated them somewhat.

5:15 pm

MollyL

<---Loves anyone who stands up to nuns

5:15 pm

stidgmere

Well. thanks for the chat. The chicken soup wants vegetables and so I will put on my vitual chef's toque and bid bon apetite to all.

5:15 pm

mirandapan

And if you knew my mother, Molly, you'd know what a brave act that was!

5:16 pm

MollyL

Bye Gran Mere. Hope you can use your fireplace soon.

5:16 pm

ChampFit

I had drinks on Friday with two women that I went to parochial school with. We had lots of memories of the nuns to reminisce about.

5:17 pm

rubyfoo

when I listen to people on growing up where I did, all the women (now middle-aged) talk about how the nuns slapped them around

5:17 pm

rubyfoo

I was lucky, went to public school

5:19 pm

gapeach

Hello all. May I please have a clue for na6-18 the1st? Thanks

5:21 pm

ChampFit

They didn't hit me, but they sure did try to squash my rambunctiousness. Didn't work, by the way.

5:22 pm

Bugsaw

sorry peach

5:22 pm

Thanks anyway, Bugs.

5:25 pm

The nuns just slapped the boys around at my elementary school. The girls had to kneel.

5:25 pm

ChampFit

You know it! I only went till 5th grade. We moved to the boonies so I finished at a small public school. Unscathed!

5:27 pm

gapeach

Need food. bbs

5:30 pm

mirandapan

Actually, I have a special place in my heart for nuns. I remember one especially, when I was really sick. She was kind and pastoral.

5:30 pm

MollyL

First NA6 is twangy sound through the nose with an extra vowel in fourth place

5:31 pm

ChampFit

tyvm!

5:31 pm

MollyL

That's nice Miranda.

5:33 pm

MollyL

Actually, I can give nuns a break now, when I didn't as a kid. Now I can see what frustrated women they must have been.

5:33 pm

Bugsaw

ty Molly

5:33 pm

ChampFit

My first grade teacher was awesome, but she isn't a nun anymore.

5:33 pm

MollyL

Asexual and totally repressed by the Church.

5:35 pm

Bugsaw

too true Molly. I got to know lots of nuns when they hit old age and so many are full of regrets. they were doing what they were taught to do. One said, "I was quite nunnish then"

5:35 pm

ChampFit

I have an aunt that used to be a nun, and two uncles who were priests. They all left in the 70's, disillusioned. They're all therapists now, in various capacities.

5:36 pm

Bugsaw

yes Champ. It shows that their compassion was always there but they had to find another way to live it.

5:37 pm

ChampFit

Very true. They're awesome!

5:38 pm

MollyL

I have found that people who have left vocations to the church often live very fulfilled lives after that, in helping professions.

5:39 pm

MollyL

I spoke to a former priest once who (in very gentle terms) told me how he thought it was absolute cruelty the the Catholic Church still requires celibacy of it's nuns and priests.

5:40 pm

Bugsaw

In the old days, women were only allowed to be teachers, nurses, secretaries or nuns. Life was so much more limited then

5:40 pm

ChampFit

I don't get it either. It's not biblical.

5:40 pm

Bugsaw

celibacy was a construct of the church not the Bible

5:40 pm

Bugsaw

snap Champ

5:41 pm

ChampFit

6:03 pm

cosdem

the latter

6:04 pm

Lizlin

I agree with cos :)

6:04 pm

MollyL

I wouldn't mind the longer ones if I had a lot of leisure time, but I don't.

6:04 pm

Lizlin

Even though with our guests I didn't have time to complete the longer grids this week!

6:04 pm

6:12 pm

8:18 pm

8:18 pm

rururocks

8:19 pm

Minveryork

I'm having much trouble with my last eight words rururocks

8:22 pm

This was not an easy grid. I don't care what any of the "easy peasy" people say.

8:22 pm

welki

a pox on this grid. was a grunt.

8:23 pm

Jacula

I admit it Molly, it had 4 hard words in it!

8:23 pm

Jacula

Anyone need any clues?

8:23 pm

Minveryork

Might I have some clues for the two ar 6/18 words please?

8:25 pm

welki

ar + math function

8:25 pm

rururocks

ar + yes in spanish + half a hawaiian goose

8:26 pm

rururocks

the second one changes the last vowel

8:26 pm

welki

the other one is similar to the comedian ar***** hall

8:26 pm

rururocks

HI Weemee.

8:26 pm

rururocks

HI Weemee.

rururocks

errr. I mean welki

8:27 pm

welki

hi ru

8:27 pm

welki

hi ru

8:28 pm

Jacula

2nd ar6.18 is like the name of the Duke of Illiyria, a character from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, but begins with an 'a' rather than an 'o'. The first ar6.18 is the same but with a different vowel at the end.

8:28 pm

rururocks

my keyboard sticks for some reason and enters things twice lately

8:28 pm

Jacula

Hi ruru.

8:30 pm

welki

8:40 pm

Jacula

Min - 2nd pu6.36 is like the Hallowe'en vegatable but with a different 3rd letter. Or think, making a joke on worfds, a pu* then adding a 5 point tile word for the start of another word, just 3 letters long meaning 'family'.

8:40 pm

penquis

hello all...i am new here...what does "second pu 6/36" mean?...i assume it has to do with a pu word???

Hello penquis. The 2nd pu6/36 is a misspelling used on the internet that some people use to describe their boyfriend or girlfriend was as an affectionate term.

9:17 pm

smores

lol...hi ruru

9:18 pm

Jacula

The 'phone connection re Virgin has been interesting though. Many calls both from cell 'phones and from land lines have just faded and cut out. I'm planning to ask first on Facebook if any other UK users have encountered this problem. If they haven't, I'll put it down to our antiquated plug-in 'phone system and see how it goes when we get a new system.

9:19 pm

Jacula

smores - no, not me re the internet thingey. I have super fast whizzy internet.

9:19 pm

smores

that's odd that it is both cell and land line

Oh. I see you joined Babble the day before my 28th birthday, joaniok. Welcome. :)

joaniok

Thank you and happy belated birthday! I am married to a NeAL and he is also negative!!!

11:55 pm

negativeneil

Ha. Well I'm "Neil", not "Neal". And this moniker is a joke, pertaining to my blogging style.

11:55 pm

negativeneil

And thanks... but my birthday wasn't belated. It happened on the usual date. ;)

11:57 pm

joaniok

I am glad your birthday occured on the correct date! I am glad you have a sense of humour....and our Negative Neal is our source of amusement!!

11:59 pm

negativeneil

I hope he doesn't actually use that moniker. It's mine!

11:59 pm

negativeneil

I've been blogging in this name since 2009.
