1:37 am

rururocks

:D

1:37 am

grannyrose

go for it hurshy

1:38 am

hurshy

my sister and i play this kind of online pictionary at isketch.net, and she does not know trek but i am a fan and she was drawing a klingon saying something to a starfleet officer and it turned out she was going for resistance, as in resistance is futile

1:39 am

hurshy

if you do not get it, this is funny because it's the borg that say that, not the klingons.

1:39 am

rururocks

*deadpan*

1:39 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, hurshy, what a blooper!! lol

1:40 am

joaniok

Can someone please give me a clue for un12?? I am getting so frustrated!

1:41 am

hurshy

when a neighborhood is becoming more upscale, it's being ge10. so i guess if it's reverting to a slum, it's becoming un12.

1:41 am

grannyrose

joan, ge10, male + ***le, type of gun + i Lied, told an untruth. add un for un12

1:43 am

grannyrose

oops....my only excuse is don is gabbling on about a bushfire no where near us.it's his fault...he distracted me. :)

1:44 am

hurshy

ok i'm gonna try to go back to sleep later all

1:44 am

grannyrose

last part of clue should read ...l***....told an untruth

1:45 am

joaniok

Thank you, I did get the ge10 from your clue before but when I add the un, it keeps telling me that it is not a word! I don't know what I am doing wrong! Maybe I should not be doing this puzzle at 3 am!!!

morning all. one ge10/105 is past tense other is a noun

2:44 am

scouser

today's phantom is egremont (which is a place name but I think it should be a piece of armour or some such)

2:47 am

negativeneil

Hi scouser. :)

2:48 am

negativeneil

Haha. If an "egremont" was a piece of armor, what would it protect?

2:50 am

scouser

Hmmm I think I might have started the wrong train of thought there?

2:51 am

scouser

Pity Hydra isn't online she'd be falling about laughing now.

3:04 am

I think they are all for Sprite - except maybe one or two each year

3:53 am

o-o

Some new words .... or memory loss.

3:53 am

sprite

no way. Most go well until half or 3/4 and after that it is pecking away one by one.
I see babble does not recognize the evil monsters in Harry Potter's prison.

3:53 am

sprite

new words. Ah, those must be the ones I cannot find :)

3:54 am

o-o

Does Harry work with clay?

3:54 am

sprite

not that I recall

I thought that is what potters did

3:55 am

sprite

yeah. I think he must have missed the job description. He usually magicks.

3:56 am

o-o

The author has a non-potter new book out.

3:56 am

sprite

but, unusual for me, I have found 2 real biggies already by myself. I tend to be biggies blind.

3:57 am

o-o

I have read a single word of potter or hobbit

3:57 am

o-o

not a, that is

3:57 am

sprite

a single one in particular or a specific one? And is it different in both?

3:57 am

sprite

ah, not a. Sorry :)

3:58 am

o-o

the u is the 12

3:59 am

o-o

one without manners or ... lost those he had

4:03 am

o-o

I see my clue is inaccurate ... it is what I perceived without looking it up

4:04 am

sprite

no problem :)

4:04 am

o-o

to make less appealing to the middle class

4:05 am

sprite

the real biggie was one of the on4 I had found, thanks though :) Am still happily plodding along here.

4:06 am

o-o

so you got the 8 too

4:07 am

o-o

two tens, actually

4:07 am

sprite

yes. And a 9 and a 10. Not really worth applause with so many biggies, but a personal triumph for me ;)

4:08 am

o-o

personal triumphs are good ... congrats.

4:08 am

sprite

eh yes, true. And thank you.

4:09 am

o-o

ge 10/112 and 10/105

4:10 am

sprite

yes, I have both. Thank you for wanting to help :) But I am not really ready for clues yet, unless someone else needs them.

4:11 am

o-o

ok .... I shall leave

4:11 am

sprite

oh please don't. I enjoy your company.

4:17 am

lynxxx

oh dear BR is not happy at the moment..sorry I was not looking as I wasn't ready either

"legalities with probate go so slow that he may not live long enough to see what his own mother left for him at her own death 4 months ago but the wife and i got it to court as fast as the lawyers would let us...ivesy,that is horrid that a country so advanced as united states still dictates who people may fall in love and marry

8:22 am

canada has faults and a long way to go,but anyone may get married and be entitled to all that is due any married couple,regardless of sex

30 years of love.it is sad.were they here,the surviving partner gets 2500 in death benifits and widow pension.btw babblers,i have had to deal with funerals and family loss so much in the last 2 years that i can tell you this: do not let those funeral insurance commercials scare you into signing up.for less that the death benifit allowance i was able to get mother in law all crematorium services,a very nice urn a donation to her favorite charity on behalf of her estate and all govt paperwork done all for less than the death benefit allowance

8:35 am

my mom doesnt have any life ins. we will be looking for the easies way to bury her. at this time looks as if she will outlive all her chldren lol

8:36 am

mixi6

after we buried my first mother in law, we found an article about renting a casket.

8:36 am

MimiCat

I'm feeling much better today but still a little out of steam so only popped in to say hello. Hope it's a good day for everyone. We need to remember the '60's in this country and take action using our votes and our money in the marketplace as power. I told my family to scatter half my ashes over the highest peak in Colorado and the other half over the 17-mile-drive in Carmel, CA---that way, if they want to visit Mom, they get a nice vacation! On that note, I'm gone! Hugs to all.

8:37 am

crosshair

when the time comes,ivesy,please consider cremation.it negates a ton of stresss and worry at what is already a stress filled time

8:37 am

ivesy3

i believe that is what we will do crossy. seems more people are doing that. cant see all this viewing and such... too morbid.

8:38 am

crosshair

and in canada,the service comes with a permit form to scatter the ashes where you will

8:38 am

periwinkle

help with the re10 pls

8:38 am

hello...do not have a viewing...then you pay for a casket.

8:38 am

indeed ivesy,and the casket,viewing,burial ceremony,purchacing the actual plot,the cost soon spirals out of control

my parents went to the local funeral home and pre-paid for cremation. After a local memorial service where they lived. we mailed the remains to family plot and waited a couple of weeks (so everyone could get a reasonable air fair) for the burial (done the day before in the graveyard).

8:40 am

phaeton

hi all

8:40 am

more people are just having memorial service. i would imagine we will have to do that, as none of us has extra money. and mom doesnt care says she will dead anyway.

when my mom died...we found out that she could be buried with my dad at the national military cemetery for free.

8:41 am

here, we do it a tad different mixi.the executor gets the original urn and ashes and we have lovely rosewood boxes for each family member who wishes some ashes,with the remainder staying with us to honor any scattering requests that may be in the will

8:41 am

I am to be cremated and they are not to buy a casket to be burned with me. "Get a refrigerator box."

1:01 pm

cybernan

oh - the superlative - another nonword

1:01 pm

Soodle

The most mirthful.....

1:02 pm

cybernan

considering those two, I'm surprised that enuf isn't a word!

1:02 pm

uusue2

reminds me of when my son was little, he would use words like that

1:05 pm

cybernan

ge 10 x2 -- anyone know what the other one is?

1:06 pm

uusue2

not I, nan

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

my son hardly ever calls but when he does, wow, it's hard to get off the phone

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

soodle, are you still hdre?

1:06 pm

uusue2

hi ruby!

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

and it is not mirthful

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

1:07 pm

Soodle

Present, Rubes!

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

ge 10 x 2, different last letters

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

my ear is worn out

1:08 pm

cybernan

1:08 pm

uusue2

do you have the other 10, ruby? I have both ge10

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

only have 2 10's :(

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

this has been a fun grid, however, though of course I won't finish it

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

have been pecking away at it off and on

1:09 pm

Soodle

Lol Ruby. I call my son every day (magic phone!!), and I think I embarrass him by calling so often.

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

that is too funny, soodle

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

I would go crazy if I had to talk to my son that often

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

we were on for about 45 minutes!

1:11 pm

Soodle

But, if I forget to call him, he's on the phone, wondering whats wrong!! Now, with my iPad, we Facetime each other.

1:12 pm

uusue2

my son texts me a lot, and sometimes sends me Facebook messages

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

that is very sweet. We tried skype, but I was too self-conscious. He did, however, get to see Rufie that way (when the dog was small enough to fit on my lap)

1:12 pm

uusue2

he also comes over in the middle of the night to do his laundry, and doesn't always wake us up :-)

1:12 pm

Soodle

I hear the iPad tinkling, and I rush for the lipstick......

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

hahah

1:13 pm

cybernan

158 down and stuck - heading for the list

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

if somebody came in here during the night, the dogs would go insane

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

we've just learned that there have been several robberies in the village

1:13 pm

stidgmere

Well good day to all as I start some cooking. I promised a pie and must get going!

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

I'm glad we have big, loud dogs

1:14 pm

uusue2

hi gmere!

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

bye stidgmere

1:14 pm

Soodle

A policeman told me that a barking dog is worth 5 burglar alarms!

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

burglar alarms don't bite

1:14 pm

Soodle

Hi assorted Stigs!!

1:14 pm

uusue2

my dog barks if someone rings the doorbell, but if someone just walks in she loves them to death (assuming she wakes up at all). Very sweet but a terrible watchdog.

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

(not that my sweet pups would either, but people don't know that)

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

Rufie gets between me and whoever comes in the house -- repairman, etc -- and doesn't budge

1:15 pm

uusue2

I've also heard that a dog is a good burglary deterrent - too much noise and trouble

1:15 pm

Soodle

On the other hand, alarms don't need to be fed, walked, cleaned up after......

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

he's very protective and scary-looking

1:16 pm

rururocks

I would be more afraid of your grumpy husband ruby :D

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

today he almost burned the house down -- again!

1:16 pm

uusue2

Sera is scary-looking but gentle when you get close to her

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

they are both very gentle but aloof unless they make the choice. You can't just approach them

1:18 pm

rururocks

my dog would only scare burglars with tennis ball allergies

1:18 pm

MollyL

<--Wonders why Soodle's iPad tinkles

1:18 pm

Soodle

We used to have a rothweiller. Gentle as a lamb, but terrified the bejaysus out of undesirables.

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

they just walk away once they know that the person is OK with me

1:18 pm

uusue2

hahaha, sounds like mine, ruru

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

her iPad must not be housebroken

1:18 pm

1:21 pm

periwinkle

1:22 pm

periwinkle

1:22 pm

Soodle

1:22 pm

cybernan

1:22 pm

rubyfoo

1:24 pm

rubyfoo

hello lilliann

1:24 pm

Soodle

Skinnylicious??? An oxymoron if ever I heard one....

1:24 pm

MollyL

Agreed Soodle.

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

I am just too cold to stay but it's nice to see this group of babblers!

1:25 pm

rururocks

I ate at one CheeseCake factory.. the portions were gigantic

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

72 words left and my average was 5.11 so I feel chuffed!

1:25 pm

MollyL

Oh Ruby, put on a sweater and suck it up

1:25 pm

rururocks

and the food was lousy too

1:25 pm

lilliann

1:26 pm

periwinkle

I think it is overrated ru but it is always mobbed

1:26 pm

Soodle

The corpus delecti might be cold, Rubes, but I bet the cockles of your heart are warm!

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

I'm wearing thermal underwear, a cotteon turtleneck, a ski top and a cardigan and I'm still cold

1:26 pm

MollyL

Cheesecake Factory is "trendy". *rolls eyes*

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

It's Ruby's fault

1:26 pm

rururocks

yes.. popular place

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

I think my cockles have chilled.....

1:26 pm

periwinkle

people watching was interesting while waiting for a table

1:27 pm

rururocks

had to read soodles comment twice for good measure

1:27 pm

periwinkle

and it is a chain. I prefer restaurants with more ambiance and better food even tho the cost is higher

1:27 pm

rururocks

truly ruby if you can't have hot cockles what's the point

1:28 pm

MollyL

Chain restaurants are usually pretty crappy

1:28 pm

periwinkle

indeed, Molls

1:28 pm

Soodle

Dinner chez Soodle was roast beef, yorkshire pud, roasted mediterraen veg, gravy. Totally un-skinny, and worth every single calorie!

1:28 pm

MollyL

Give me a family owned restaurant any day

1:29 pm

periwinkle

yes Molls, much better

1:29 pm

rururocks

last night we had pasta.. with parmessan/cream/artichoke hearts and lemon sauce

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

the food is betterr at home, but I lack the energy to do much cooking

1:29 pm

MollyL

Soodle loves her Mediterranean vegetables.

1:30 pm

periwinkle

Beef Wellington with bernaise sauce, baked potatoes, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, salad along with various reds and whites, pineapple bavarian cream, followed by choclates accompanied by either madeira or port -- wonder why I'm not feeling worse than i do!

MollyL

(In best Maggie Smith voice) My dear, we NEVER "muster" our dignity.

1:47 pm

rururocks

I generally muster with hot dogs

1:47 pm

Soodle

Be careful. Molly. The wind might change, and you could be left like that!

1:52 pm

Riverdance

I am so so stuck with 54 to go....dont list anymore...think I will go check out FB

1:52 pm

Soodle

When we were kids, if we pulled faces at each other, my mother always said ' don't do that. The wind will change & you'll be left like that'.

1:52 pm

Glantarell

didn't know you could tinkle off :-)

1:53 pm

rururocks

depends on how pissy you are glant :D :D

1:54 pm

Glantarell

1:58 pm

Riverdance

ge10 - to take someone out of the country and formalize them. Then make that a un12

1:58 pm

Riverdance

bye everyone

1:58 pm

MollyL

If I believed everything my Mother said I would have broken her back from stepping on a crack and I would be blind and have hairy palms.

1:58 pm

Soodle

Bye River. :-)

1:59 pm

rururocks

I believe the hairy palms

1:59 pm

Soodle

Molly!! Elaborate! Please.....(chortle)

2:00 pm

rururocks

and nine people would be saved by a stitch in time

2:00 pm

MollyL

Clearly Soodle is unaware of old wives tales about what causes blindness and hairy palms.

2:01 pm

rururocks

2:03 pm

MollyL

Oh, here we go with the nonsense again. Apologies to the grumpies.

2:03 pm

Soodle

Do you guys in the US get a sitcom called Father Ted?

2:04 pm

MollyL

Just checked, I get it on Hulu Plus but have not watched it.

2:06 pm

Soodle

Do yourself a favour Molls, and watch it. Not for the faint hearted or the reverend.

2:07 pm

MollyL

Well, since I am neither of those I'm sure I will like it.

2:08 pm

Soodle

RuRu reminded me about Fr Ted. Theres an episode all about Hairy Hands....

You have a good day too Nan.

2:28 pm

Soodle

Seriously shot myself in the foot today. Saw wine on special offer in the supermarket. â‚¬5 a bottle. Bought 4 bottles. On closer inspection, I discovered it's alcohol free wine. Pshhh.. Alcohol free wine. The Ultimate oxymoron !!

2:28 pm

MollyL

TAKE IT BACK!!!

2:29 pm

hego

Take it back!!!

2:29 pm

hego

Hi All. : D

2:29 pm

Soodle

False advertising, if you ask me....

2:30 pm

hego

sounds criminal to me.

2:30 pm

MollyL

Take it back, complain about the false advertising and maybe they will give you some of the good stuff for free.

2:30 pm

hego

or at least take that crap back.

2:31 pm

MollyL

Or at least for the same price.

2:31 pm

crosshair

take it back,get a refund and get a nice bottle of whiskey and you will feel much better

2:31 pm

hego

: )

2:31 pm

MollyL

Soodle doesn't do whiskey. If you can believe that about an Irish woman.

2:31 pm

crosshair

wow

2:32 pm

MollyL

I know, speaking of oxymorons.

2:32 pm

crosshair

crossy does not do wine.giving me wine is like feeding a pig a strawberry for dinner

2:43 pm

lilliann

i'm drinking a glass of champagne at the moment.it's probably really cheap but we were given it on holiday after complaining and it actually isn't that bad...but i like cheap wine anyway,but not alcohol free....

2:43 pm

lilliann

lol crossy, but it might give the bacon a good flavour

2:43 pm

hego

that's all that counts Lill. ; )

2:44 pm

lilliann

exactly hego. i don't normally like champagne, but it taste like a nice sparkling wine

2:47 pm

hego

good enough!

2:48 pm

Soodle

Sorry. Was on the phone. I quite like champagne. (Is this the part when I'm supposed to say 'It tickles my nose?')

2:48 pm

2:50 pm

we are proud of our amber alert system and i have seen it in action many times utilizing the lcd signage on our major highways and hate to see it muddied by crackpot alerts

4:29 pm

agreed, but best to err on the side of caution if the authorities aren't sure if the report is on the level

4:29 pm

Hi folks! Is the re10, to do something over again?

4:29 pm

i called a friend of mine in 52 division in toronto..it is a false alert

despicable hoax, crossy - the history of the scam played on a grieving family

4:36 pm

crosshair

thats why i am working hard at debunking it here

4:36 pm

crosshair

so it does not perpetuate itself

4:37 pm

just google snope and search the topic as i cannot seem to get any urls correct today

4:37 pm

your tinyurl worked just fine

4:38 pm

crosshair

ahh good then

4:39 pm

crosshair

babble throwing in all those n,s in a standard url post and the fact that it messes up the chog are a great incentive to use tiny url regularly when posting:)

4:39 pm

crosshair

should ask drg if he can add the tinyurl post in the babble site

4:40 pm

crossy, let's road trip down to diane's - don't know about your weather, but ours is going to hell in a handbasket on tuesday (snow, -19)

4:40 pm

let me check whats coming here...

4:40 pm

tinyurl is so common, probably not needed - folks have always been able to figure it out on their own

4:41 pm

(and there's usually someone in chat who can help if someone needs a hand)

4:41 pm

mmm heavy freezing rain warning here,not cold like your temps welki,but i am up for a nice road trip where the air is warm and the sun still shines

4:41 pm

crosshair

where does diane hang her hat?

4:42 pm

dianedecoder

It's still a little cool here, welki... had a lovely rain early yesterday. The funny thing about the desert is that the water doesn't soak in.... washes and catch basins fill very quickly !!

4:42 pm

welki

she's from alberta, crossy, but spends a big part of winter in arizona

4:43 pm

all i have to do is pack my reader,some bacon,a bottle of vodka and my speedo and i am ready to go!

4:43 pm

Crossy, we are in Arizona for 3 months... you just forgot, because I don't chat much anymore.

4:43 pm

wonderful - i know diane's packed her thong and i can, too!

4:44 pm

last time i tried wearing this,someone called greenpeace

4:46 pm

i had to sew a canadian flag on my bathing suit so the aerial gunners wouldn't shoot

4:46 pm

its all very confusing to us Auusies, we all wear thongs here - what else would you wear on your feet in Summer

4:46 pm

dianedecoder

And.... back in my day, thongs were today's flip-flops.... I still get the big "eye-roll" from grandkids when I slip up and call them "THAT"

4:46 pm

oh wait - again, this is the i.n.t.e.r.n.e.t - i have a body like a sports illustrated swuimsuit model's :D

4:47 pm

there ya go:)

4:47 pm

welki

well, you wouldn't want to wear a flip-flop like a thong bathing suit. it might hurt, and certainly would chafe.

4:47 pm

dianedecoder

There.... lynxxx backs me up !

4:47 pm

crosshair

and i have a 6 pack you can scrub yer laundry on

4:48 pm

we call those flip-flops lynxx

Fellow Canadians...any clues for the me/8's??

4:49 pm

... sounds like a redneck cartoon in the making. poor guy waddles to the beach with a flip-flop firmly implanted between his buttocks (and cowboy boots on his feet, of course). He sees people staring and yells, "Hey! What're you looking at? It's a THONG!"

4:50 pm

hmmm - i have to reconsider what he'd be wearing in front.

4:50 pm

5:23 pm

smores

5:23 pm

lilliann

my throat is so sore that it is literally burning and it kept me awake most of last night with the coughing

5:23 pm

lilliann

the only way to play it molly :)

5:23 pm

lilliann

good thing i have the heating on and am burning up :)

5:23 pm

MollyL

Not the game I play naked, but that's just me.
: P

5:24 pm

lilliann

:)

5:24 pm

lilliann

i must admit there are alot more fu6 games to play naked :)

5:24 pm

BzznBea

I haven't gotten to the age that I don't care who sees my naked sagginess so layers of clothes are a must.

5:25 pm

smores

Molly, what is your icon pic?

5:25 pm

smores

LOL Bea

5:25 pm

MollyL

Bea...naked sagginess : D

5:25 pm

smores

Know we know where the little gn5 got it from.

5:26 pm

smores

*Now

5:26 pm

lilliann

i'm the same bzzn but hubby hasn't been in the same rooms as me today so it's ok :)

5:26 pm

MimiCat

Hello, everyone!

5:26 pm

smores

{Mimi} how are you?

5:26 pm

lilliann

hi mimi

5:27 pm

MimiCat

{smores}

5:27 pm

MimiCat

Hi, Lil!!

5:28 pm

MimiCat

I'm much better, thanks, smores. Still ridiculously congested in the chest but feeling OK....does that make any sense? It's pouring rain here--yippeee!!

5:28 pm

lilliann

i must admit smores, i hate flashing my butt to anyone.there was a french canadian on holiday that was wearing normal bikini knickers and then she stood up and made her bottoms like a thong and then bent over rubbing suncream onto her cheeks.she was bent towards me and hubby and he was playing cards with our bairn so i don't know who she was flashing at?

5:29 pm

MimiCat

I'm with you ladies...I need to live in a much colder climate than Phoenix since at this point in life I look sooo much better with MORE clothes on!!

5:29 pm

lilliann

hope you get better very soon mimi

5:29 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, dear....it has been a week now...I'm tired of it.

5:30 pm

MimiCat

I wouldn't ever have dreamed of flashing anyone even when I was younger but now it's not so much due to modesty as to not wanting to horrify the children!

5:31 pm

smores

Very rude lillian...especially with kids around.

5:32 pm

MimiCat

Next time you see that, Lil, ask that person if they're like a biscuit for their St. Bernard dog....!

5:32 pm

smores

<----admits to flashing in my MUCH younger days

5:33 pm

MimiCat

You, scamp, smores!! We will have so much fun when you visit!! I can tell you'll be a really good bad influence on me!

5:33 pm

smores

LOL...I have mellowed dramatically

5:33 pm

MimiCat

Then you could say, "Oh, I'm sorry...I thought that was a dog!"

5:34 pm

MimiCat

We'll remedy that, smores!

5:34 pm

lilliann

my husband said i should have told him so he could have looked and i told him, that was why i didn't because he was playing a game with our daughter and she would have turned around.it must of been for my husband's benefit as when he went upto the bar the following night she was touching him with her body and then her mam smiled at him when we were having our evening meal :)

5:34 pm

lilliann

lol mimi

5:35 pm

smores

?? she was touching him...

5:35 pm

lilliann

side of body

5:35 pm

MimiCat

SHE was touching YOUR husband?!!

5:35 pm

MollyL

So where is the part where you decked her, Lilliann?

5:35 pm

MimiCat

I'd be snatching her up by the hair and marching her outside!

5:35 pm

smores

wow....

5:36 pm

lilliann

she was sort of pressing the side of her body against him

5:36 pm

lilliann

i never saw it mimi or i would have mowed her down with my wheelchair :)

5:36 pm

MimiCat

I'd have pressed the side of my high heel against her behind!

5:37 pm

MimiCat

Good for you, Lil!! Brazen little tramp!

5:38 pm

smores

Some nerve...you said her mam...how old was she?

5:38 pm

lilliann

well,she isn't his type but he's a man and getting older so probably glad of some attention

5:39 pm

smores

I probably would've just dumped a pitcher of the closest beverage and told her to cool off

5:39 pm

lilliann

i would have said older than me but in her forties and her mam in her 60's. she was a tramp though and loved herself.she was what my husband called a cougar

5:40 pm

MimiCat

In the early days of my former marriage I would always go into the office and make "friends" with all the women, especially the attractive ones, while showing them how much better I was and that they didn't have a chance....seemed to work...that plus the fact my husband was scared of what I might do to HIM!

5:40 pm

smores

wow....yep, definately needed a ice cold beer bath...lol

5:40 pm

lilliann

i hope she doesn't play this game or related to anyone :)

5:41 pm

smores

LOL

5:41 pm

lilliann

lol mimi

5:41 pm

lilliann

saying that, she didn't look like a word game sort of person

5:42 pm

MimiCat

I once had a secretary tell me (at a party and she was tipsy) that she really envied me my husband and wished she could trade places with me. I just smiled a very "knowing" smile, looked her straight in the eyes and said "Yeah...good luck with that" and walked away.

5:42 pm

lilliann

but as they say, never judge a book...someone on here will probably play a joke on me and say it was their niece or something

5:43 pm

lilliann

good for you mimi

5:43 pm

MimiCat

I told my husband about it later and he said "She must have a death wish." From my perspective, in more ways than one...

5:43 pm

smores

:)

5:43 pm

lilliann

lol

5:43 pm

MimiCat

I just hate having a battle of wits with an unarmed person!

5:44 pm

smores

Yes

5:45 pm

lilliann

my husband is 6ft and built like a brick shed, has a bit of a belly now but he is 50 and it is bought and payed for and he always has young guys who work out trying to outdo him and woman do like his body but i think "he chose me and we are still together after 15 years so why get jealous"

5:46 pm

smores

:)

5:47 pm

MimiCat

Jealousy has nothing to recommend it at all, Lil, I agree. I can't remember ever being jealous of anyone...not because I'm so great but I just feel if someone wants me, they can show me and if they're interested in someone else, they should go there instead....wouldn't ever consider fighting over a man. Now, BECAUSE of one....perhaps!

5:48 pm

MimiCat

These days it's just me and the cats and I'm good with that....had enough drama for a lifetime already.

5:48 pm

smores

There was a woman flirting with my ex once at a party, I walked up and said " You are obviously not too bright so I will speak slowly and use small words, back the hell off NOW' :)

5:49 pm

smores

She promply left :)

5:50 pm

smores

Wasn't so much a jealousy thing, just don't like disrespectful 'hoes .... lol

5:50 pm

MimiCat

Good one. I would be tempted to say something like "Forget it, lady, I'm smarter, prettier, better in bed and MARRIED TO HIM!!

5:51 pm

smores

:)

5:52 pm

MimiCat

There was a block party once when we were first married and a neighbor was really coming on to my husband....you should have seen the look of sheer terror on his face!! He was so uncomfortable and afraid of my reaction....smart guy.

5:53 pm

smores

:)

5:53 pm

lilliann

aye, there is jealousy but there is just letting someone know to back off. i normally just give a look :)

5:53 pm

lilliann

lol mimi

5:54 pm

MimiCat

It might have something to do with the fact that even before we were married I explained in great detail that if he ever cheated on me and I found out, he'd better make sure not to fall asleep while I'm still awake or he's have permanent job security with the Vienna Boys' Choir as a tenor!

5:55 pm

MimiCat

Hey, I'm all talk that way...so nonviolent it isn't even funny...but he never knew FOR SURE.

5:55 pm

smores

Is your real name Lorena :)

5:56 pm

MimiCat

LOL, smores! Actually, I would have hit him where it hurts the most---alimony.

5:56 pm

lilliann

there is nowt wrong with looking even a little flirting but no touching or taking someone elses spouse/partner. my hubby has the gift of the gab and his geordie accent also attracts people and i will admit he loves the attention but he wouldn't dare do anything he shouldn't, plus he's not that type of man

5:56 pm

lilliann

lol mimi

5:57 pm

smores

Agree lillian

5:57 pm

lilliann

there is no need to be vioelent when you can describe to people what you can do to them mimi, that frightens them all the more...the not knowing :)

5:57 pm

MimiCat

Absolutely. If I wasn't sure someone was trustworthy, I just wouldn't waste my time or energy.

5:58 pm

lilliann

*violent

5:59 pm

lilliann

i'm watching celebrity apprentice usa.how old is donald trumps wife?

6:01 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all....slept most of the afternoon, still feel like crap...

6:01 pm

MimiCat

When I first divorced (after 23 years married) all these young guys came after me. I felt it my duty to go out with them in retribution for all those years of trophy wives....it was now OUR turn!

6:02 pm

lilliann

oh really.i want some of what she has as i'm only a year older and she looks alot younger than me.saying that i aged 20 years when our daughter was hurt

6:02 pm

Jillyjill

Like your attitude mimi

6:02 pm

smores

Hi Jilly...sorry you are feeling better :(

6:03 pm

MimiCat

Jilly, you've missed a lively conversation here! Sorry you're not feeling well....I'm just about over mine.

6:03 pm

lilliann

hi jilly, glad you had a nap, sorry you feel crap, we'll feel crap together. i hope you get better quickly :)

6:03 pm

Jillyjill

First day...I don't do sick....

6:03 pm

smores

Glad you were able to get some rest though, even if it doesn't feel like it, I'm sure it helped.

6:04 pm

lilliann

i hope you had a great time mimi and wore some of them out :)

6:04 pm

MimiCat

The youngest guy I dated had been after me for 2 years but was 32 years younger than me. I felt I needed someone's "permission" to go out with him so I asked my daughter...she had no problem with it. But it wasn't fun...every time he said something, in my mind I was patting him on the head thinking "Oh, you'll outgrow that."

6:05 pm

smores

lol

6:05 pm

MimiCat

Hey, besides....I already raised my kids!

6:05 pm

lilliann

omg.32..you cougar..lol good for you, but a funny outcome

6:06 pm

lilliann

actually, you'd be a milf

6:06 pm

MimiCat

Hey, I wasn't the one on the prowl....they came after ME....and no one was more surprised at the time!

6:06 pm

Jillyjill

*covers ears lalalalala*

6:06 pm

MimiCat

Right, Jilly, pretend you know nothing......

6:07 pm

smores

LOL

6:07 pm

6:08 pm

MimiCat

There were these twin brothers once on the bus that were only 20 yrs. old and were just not leaving me alone wanting my phone number. Well, I just looked at them and said "There's just something wrong with you two...I'm old enough to be your grandmother!" They didn't care!

6:08 pm

lilliann

6:11 pm

uusue2

I am good, mimi! My cats are also complaining that it is dinnertime.

6:11 pm

uusue2

hi, lilli!

6:11 pm

MimiCat

I did have a stalker once, though. That was a little unnerving.

6:12 pm

Jillyjill

6:12 pm

lilliann

He never got aggressive or scary, though, thankfully. He was actually quite attractive but I just wasn't in the mood for adventure.

6:14 pm

uusue2

Am in the process of writing a book, Lil....really.

6:15 pm

MimiCat

Sprite has been my support system....she is now my muse.

6:15 pm

lilliann

well, when it is written let me know as i would love to read it :)

6:16 pm

uusue2

oh, cool, mimi! I would like to read it too!

6:16 pm

MimiCat

I thought about writing it as fiction but at this point in life I've decided it's OK to have been "colorful."

6:17 pm

MimiCat

No one who knows me will be shocked anyway!

6:17 pm

lilliann

i prefer true life stories

6:18 pm

welki

hi, folks

6:18 pm

uusue2

colorful is unavoidable at this point in life, I think, mimi!

8:01 pm

smores

yay G's gone!!

8:01 pm

MollyL

The asterisk can be located by pressing the .?123 key in the bottom left corner of the keyboard.

It will take you to the symbols keyboard, you will see the asterisk sign in there.

Once you're done entering the asterisk, press ABC in the bottom left corner to switch back to regular letters

8:01 pm

MollyL

Found that in a Google search. Sounds like a big pain in the butt just to make an asterisk. I'm not an Apple fan.

I don't get it. Fu3 is an action word. How is an action word a noun?

9:13 pm

syb215

i need 2 of the 10 letter words....i have ge 10/112

9:14 pm

Lots of action words can be nouns. Fu/3 can't be a verb, though. You can't say I like to fu/3, or We fu/3 all the time.

9:14 pm

smores

ge10/105 the one who did the ge10/112

9:15 pm

On the other hand, nouns can be objects or subjects. So, I like to have fu/3 or Fu/3 with words are possible.

Okay, but it's hard to think of fu3 as a person, place or thing.

Happiness, sorrow, intelligence--all nouns, none really meet the "person place thing" test.

Ha--I was typing before your comment! We still have a few ex-nuns on the faculty of my uni. And some still have their original rulers, I suspect.

Nuns multi-task with rulers. Knuckle rapping, skirt length measurement...a plethora of uses.

I'd forgotten about the skirts! I remember having to kneel and see if the skirt touched the floor, though.

9:22 pm

I was also taught by a priest who could bean you with a chalkboard eraser from 50 feet.

I doubt any of our Jesuits could bean anybody these days. They're all getting on, I'm afraid.

Ooh.. I didn't have that one. Thanks Molly!

9:32 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, jan and Molly.

9:32 pm

I thought clabber is what teenage girls do on the phone.

9:33 pm

jan

Haha!

9:33 pm

rastapopolous

both sides of the joint are present - mo7 and te5 how funny

9:33 pm

jan

Course, these days, mainly they txt I think.

9:34 pm

MollyL

I had a gaggle of them behind me in line today, and I swear they are the LOUDEST creatures on the planet.

9:34 pm

jan

It's weid how annoying cellphone use is. It somehow feels so much ruder than simply live conversation would.

9:34 pm

jan

*weird*

9:35 pm

jan

And yes, rasta, I don't think I would have gotten the mo without the te

9:35 pm

The worst is people who wander around stores with those blue tooth things in their ears, who seem like they are talking to themselves.

9:38 pm

Furniture making combo--how you might connect a joint.

9:39 pm

The mo sounds like rigor's partner, the te a bit like a ligament

I got overwhelmed by crazy chatting and auto-lurked for quite a while but I really like the *good* folks here so after hearing about all the crazy fraudulent ppl/scams I wanted to reconnect with the lovlies <3

9:57 pm

stidmama

hey seain -- you starting to feel better, I guess?

9:58 pm

stidmama

yep. I lurk sometimes, but mostly now I don't have time to play, let alone chat.

9:58 pm

stidmama

as in, right now I am past halfway and NBT with your help so will reluctantly finish the last task before tomorrow.

9:58 pm

dcseain

well, did a lot of walking today, so i'm wiped, but leg is healing, and chest has cleared, so overall yes. Did overeat a bit today, so i'm a bit bloated-feeling, but that will pass. :)

9:58 pm

dcseain

i lurk a good bit too.

9:58 pm

stidmama

I'll see you-all again at some point. **scatters choclits and licorice on way out**

My computer keeps crashing tonight. Stidder; sorry I missed you! And seain, I'm glad you're feeling better! :-)

10:08 pm

DR1965

hope you all stay safe on that coast

10:08 pm

dcseain

And they ask people to stay off roads til 10, so yeah, we're gonna get hit. Freezing rain is supposed to start in the next hour in some areas.

10:08 pm

dcseain

Ty, nef. Still having some edema issues -- should go see a specialist.

10:08 pm

dcseain

not as bad as it was, but still there.

10:09 pm

MollyL

I like seeing the Feds do that. It keeps a lot of people off the roads and decreases the amount of accidents.

10:09 pm

dcseain

indeed it does! I hope the transit agencies are able to step up tomorrow to, not least metrobus and rail, rideon, and fairfax connector.

10:10 pm

dcseain

thank you, DR

10:10 pm

Nef

Did you get some compression socks? And do you need to be reminded to see a specialist again? ;-)

10:11 pm

dcseain

i even have a referral, just need to call. And i have not. I wish i understood the cause, though.

10:11 pm

10:12 pm

excellent point, nef -- i'l lcall tomorrow :)

10:12 pm

MollyL

How is your boy Car? Any better?

10:13 pm

car.eeyore

Much better, thank you for asking. He will be going to school tomorrow!

10:13 pm

car.eeyore

But now the other one is trying to get a day or two off....but he is not sick.

10:13 pm

MollyL

From what I've heard, getting the flu from the vaccine is worse than just getting it the regular way.

10:13 pm

dcseain

oh, that's good news; glad he's better

10:14 pm

car.eeyore

I think it is.

10:15 pm

10:18 pm

car.eeyore

10:18 pm

dcseain

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

10:19 pm

car.eeyore

shinola

10:19 pm

10:19 pm

Nef

10:19 pm

dcseain

the pipe? not the hose? oh, no.

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

he shut off the pipe to the washing machine and said he tried to mop it up some. . .

10:20 pm

car.eeyore

Ugh. Sorry to hear that jmc

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

*not sure

10:20 pm

dcseain

sorry to hear. may the repairs be easy and not very expensive.

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

*sigh* i did have other plans for when i got home

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

fortunately i have a reasoabable priced handyman that i trust. . .

10:21 pm

Nef

I never turn off the hoses to the washer; will try to remember to do that from now on..

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

i dont think that is necessary nef. . . maybe if you are going on a long trip. . .

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

i had been noticing some damp spots. . . it probably was building up to this

10:22 pm

DR1965

fi7/44 help?

10:23 pm

Nef

My girlfriend found that her old iron pipes to the washer were leaking yesterday and found a plumber who came out and changed them. So you're the 2nd person to tell me about leaking pipes today.

10:25 pm

dcseain

yay, glad to hear that Je :)

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

the bride walked down the "aisle" to dowaddiddy

10:26 pm

dcseain

nice

10:26 pm

grannyrose

i think i have burnt all the lining of my nose from the bleach.

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

was all sang the chorus

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

oh dear granny!

10:26 pm

dcseain

must be tired then, rose.

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

*we all

10:26 pm

Nef

put your feet up and come Babble with us, granny!

10:27 pm

Nef

jmc; that sounds like a blast!

10:27 pm

dcseain

sounds like a lot of fun, jmc

10:28 pm

Nef

brb; just thought I need to check the basement (was playing with our grandson down there; need to see if the heater is off and unplugged)

10:28 pm

grannyrose

yes, just a little. i also did 4 loads of washing from her rooms. all her bathroom linen( five towels, 4 flannels, a bathmat and 2 hand towels) plus all her bedlinen. how can one little old lady use so much!!!

10:29 pm

dcseain

I wonder that every time i visit my mom and help her with stuff.

10:29 pm

grannyrose

she brought home a bacteria from her last sojourn in hospital. the nasty thing leaves pink stains everywhere.

10:30 pm

jmcnrick

it was the first time i had seen all of her siblings since about 1975. . .

10:30 pm

jmcnrick

the bacteria leaves pinkc stains? ick!

10:30 pm

grannyrose

but the bleach knocked it for six. her shower is snow-white, and all the orange gunk on her tiles has been scrubbed off. and this is after the cleaner has been and supposedly cleaned the shower recess.

10:31 pm

dcseain

our water supply has the bacteria that cause the pink stains in it. Regular cleaning takes care of it easily.

10:32 pm

grannyrose

dcs, but fi5 you have to put some elbow grease into it. plus the cleaners are not allowed to use anything stronger thn vinegar. OH&S issues.

10:33 pm

jmcnrick

okay i am going to bed with 200 left. . . meeting Champfit in the morning for coffee!

10:33 pm

dcseain

Yes, though the pink wipes off with cotton swabs or a damp cloth.

10:33 pm

dcseain

g'night Je, se hi for us :)

10:33 pm

jmcnrick

bye all

10:33 pm

grannyrose

sooooo.....when she goes out the door, i dive in and do as much as possible.

10:33 pm

jmcnrick

10:33 pm

grannyrose

night jmc, sleep well hun

10:34 pm

dcseain

gorified should be a word -- have you seen or seen photos of some murder scenes.

10:34 pm

grannyrose

dcs, i just the rotten stuff out of our home. i had wondered about it being in our water...hmmmm

10:34 pm

dcseain

hah! got the mo9 from that :)

10:35 pm

grannyrose

yay, dcs

10:35 pm

dcseain

Here's what the City of Norfolk, Virginia says about the pink stains: http://tinyurl.com/armkcnp

10:39 pm

dcseain

I have the pink stuff in my humidifier, with or without a filter in it, and need to clean it really thoroughly once or twice a week depending on how often i'm running it.

10:39 pm

grannyrose

thanx dcs, hadn't thought about the tank for flushing the toilet. going of to do that right now.

10:39 pm

dcseain

glad to help :)

10:40 pm

Nef

Back. seain, thanks for posting that info on the pink gunk. I really don't like Serratia; it's supposedly harmless and found all over; but that is because the military did some airborne testing back in the 50's (I think it was) and now it's everywhere

10:41 pm

dcseain

interesting bit of info, nef, ty. It only started appearing here in the last 5 years, at least via the water supply.

10:42 pm

Nef

Serratia Marcesens causes some severe infections in debilitated patients in hospitals and we used to see fairly high mortality rates from it (I haven't been working in ICU for 7 years now; so not currently up to date on that now)

10:42 pm

dcseain

it must be a really tiny bug.

10:42 pm

dcseain

huh. Will ask some current ICU nurse friends about it.

10:45 pm

Nef

most bacteria are really tiny bugs, dc. From what your link said, the chlorine in the water supply keeps the bacteria count down.

10:50 pm

dcseain

well, here they chlorinate less Oct-Apr and more May-Sep.

10:51 pm

grannyrose

okay, so in the warmer months i need to be more vigilant and pro-active with the chlorine.

10:51 pm

dcseain

well, based on the water providers here, i'd say so.

10:52 pm

grannyrose

nef, that was where mother mac was last time she was in. poor old thing, i have been getting to wash with chlorhexidine as well.

10:53 pm

Nef

we have the pink gunk here also. I do use bleach to clean my bathrooms; but I usually clean everything else with vinegar or peroxide. I found years ago that the vinegar or peroxide didn't work on the pink stuff but the bleach does.

10:54 pm

grannyrose

it was an amazing thing to see. when i squirted the chlorine onto her tiles, a pink-coloured dribble formed across her shower base. then less than 5 minutes later it had completely gone.

10:56 pm

Nef

be careful with the bleach, granny. A 1:10 solution works quite well (you shouldn't use it full strength unless you're using a respirator)

10:56 pm

grannyrose

unfortunately, i can't do this depthof cleaning when she is at home..i have to wait for her to go into respite care. the smell would probably knock her off her twig.

10:56 pm

grannyrose

nef, had the window open and exhaust fan on.

10:58 pm

grannyrose

now i am going to let the whole area dry off completely. and hopefully it will be gone before she comes out of care.

10:59 pm

Nef

but you did say you burnt the lining of your nose with the bleach smell. If you have any type of lung problem; bleach can make you very ill very fast.

11:00 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for me6-21? Thanks

11:00 pm

grannyrose

it feels like i might have burnt it...can't smeel anything at the moment...

11:01 pm

grannyrose

peach, me6 a wise counsellor, male + ***gone is a babbler

11:01 pm

11:02 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, Rose.

11:02 pm

Sorry, peach; I don't have that yet. :-(

11:02 pm

11:04 pm

grannyrose

ok nef, tomorrow, when surgery open. don is here with me, so if i have any probs he will take me to the local hospital. it's just around the corner.

11:04 pm

Nef

I am so tired tonight. I have 115 words left; but am thinking that that is enough for tonight (I'd never finish at this point anyway).

11:04 pm

grannyrose

awww, nef. is it very late where you are?

11:04 pm

Nef

thanks, granny for saying that. It's important to take care of yourself too.

11:05 pm

gapeach

I'll be "sending" to you Nef. Anyone else?

11:05 pm

Nef

It's 11PM here, granny (Central Standard Time here in MN)

11:06 pm

grannyrose

late enough, i think, nef. no wonder you are tired. me? i don't make it much past 9:30pm these days.

11:07 pm

Nef

thanks, peach. It sounds like granny needs some help too.

11:08 pm

gapeach

Yep, I'll put her on my list too.

11:08 pm

grannyrose

i'm beyond help, nef. * giggle * at least that's what don says. lol

11:08 pm

11:08 pm
