hi Sprite

3:45 am

sprite

hi lyn :) xxx

3:46 am

sprite

looks like a rather unfriendly grid today

3:47 am

lynxxx

first 100 are OK , the rest are giving me grief

3:48 am

sprite

ah, then it must be shortness of sleep here. I am having trouble with only 23 in.

3:49 am

lynxxx

you could/should sneak back to bed if you have nothing to do today?

3:50 am

sprite

I might do that. Take an afternoon nap with terra maybe :)

3:51 am

lynxxx

he would love that - I know Stew does.

3:51 am

sprite

yes he does. When I lie down on the couch, he jumps right up and settles, of all places, on the very top of me.

3:52 am

sprite

nice and warm, if not very comfortable, grin

3:52 am

lynxxx

our previous dog used to do that to - warm, soft and occasional pats - it's a dogs life

3:53 am

sprite

:) Wouldn't mind being Terra. Or Stew. But some dogs really have a dog's life, alas.

4:02 am

Cinzano - my fav drink in my 20s

A phantom picnic sounds good :).

4:58 am

Jommie

But a real picnic is even better ;).

4:58 am

sprite

not today here, though. It's raining hard.

4:59 am

ChrissieDee

Anything to escape the winter blues. Let's find a suuny spot, green grass and close to a babbling brook

4:59 am

ChrissieDee

Gale force winds here

4:59 am

Jommie

It's raining here as well (I'm also from the Netherlands).

4:59 am

It's not an easy grid today...

5:13 am

smores

Hello all :)

5:13 am

Jommie

Hi smores :)

5:14 am

smores

Hi Jommie, I see sprite was just on here

5:15 am

Jommie

Yes, we talked to each other for a while :).

5:16 am

Jommie

It's a difficult grid today, isn't it?

5:16 am

Jommie

So far I found 42 words. And you?

5:16 am

smores

Just starting now

5:17 am

Jommie

Good luck :).

5:33 am

smores

must get coffee

5:34 am

Jommie

Coffee... that's an excellent idea!

5:36 am

Lizlin

G'Day - that should cover Holland and America - Hi smores and jommie - when you get back from making coffee :)

5:44 am

Jommie

G'day liz :).

5:45 am

Lizlin

Hi Jommie - I haven't met you before, I think but I read in the chog that you were Dutch.

5:45 am

Jommie

My coffee tastes great, by the way. It helps me to focus on today's grid :).

5:46 am

Lizlin

Love coffee but not at nearly 10 pm!!!!

5:47 am

Jommie

Yes, I'm Dutch :). And this is only the 3rd day of my membership, so I don't think we've met before either ;).

5:48 am

Jommie

Lol, it's only 1:00 P.M. in the Netherlands.

5:50 am

Lizlin

We were without power here for a couple of days because of the flooding. I've only been playing since the end of last August but love it!

5:50 am

Jommie

I hope the flooding didn't do damage to your house!

5:52 am

Lizlin

No our house is fine thanks. But lots of the areas we love are still under water. We just lost power - which I guess was inconvenient and not pleasant but nothing more! Internet connections still a bit unstable!

5:52 am

Jommie

Yeah, it's very addictive! I discovered this website only a few days ago. But I've been playing boggle online and offline for quite a while now ;).

5:52 am

Lizlin

My hubby's ex-wife introduced me!

5:53 am

Lizlin

Sometimes I'm online at the same time as her and my step-son's girlfriend. I think it's a bit confusing for some!!!

5:54 am

Jommie

Glad to read that your house is fine. We've heard about the flooding (and the fires) in the news, but they never tell you what happens afterwards.

5:55 am

Lizlin

People just try to salvage what they can and get their homes / towns working again! Thankfully, I've never been in that situation. Strange country! I've only lived here 4 years!

5:56 am

Jommie

Lol, I can imagine the confusion :). Do you also compare each others rankings?

5:56 am

Lizlin

No - I don't! Don't know if they do!

5:56 am

Jommie

Yeah, in an emergency situation, you've got to make the best of it. Where did you live before?

5:57 am

Lizlin

Everyone has their own way of playing! I aim for at least 50% before going to the list and then go to a dictionary, when I'm really stuck.

5:57 am

Lizlin

I lived in London before. My hubby's Australian (actually, so am I, as of last Saturday night!)

5:59 am

Jommie

I also try to find as many words as possible before going to a dictionary. But some words are so strange and unusual... :). Yesterday, I found a word that sounded like the sound you make when you sneeze, lol.

6:00 am

Jommie

Congratulations!

6:00 am

Lizlin

Yes, babble is full of unusual words and sometimes really odd letter combinations.

6:00 am

Lizlin

ty :)

6:00 am

Lizlin

And there's also a babble chat language!

6:01 am

Jommie

Yeah, I'm trying to figure it out, but some words / terms are still a mystery to me :).

6:02 am

Lizlin

I'm not sure that I understand everything yet - but people are very friendly and will always answer questions!

6:02 am

Jommie

Yes, and they are always willing to give hints as well :).

6:03 am

MollyL

There really should be a list explaining all the terms used in chat. There used to be good information on Angelsong's page, but the link doesn't work anymore.

6:03 am

Lizlin

Hi Molly :)

6:03 am

Jommie

Hi Molly :).

6:03 am

MollyL

Hi Liz

6:04 am

Jommie

A list explaining all the terms would make things a lot easier :)

6:04 am

Jommie

Too bad that Angelsong's link doesn't work anyomre.

6:04 am

Jommie

anymore

6:05 am

MollyL

Some of the "words" used here I find pretty silly. Like "Babblet" (a word you usually only see in Babble grids) and "Poof" said when someone leaves chat.

6:05 am

Jommie

Do you also play other forms of boggle?

6:06 am

Jommie

Lol, 'poof' sounds like a disappearing ghost in a cartoon or something ;).

6:06 am

Lizlin

No, Jommie, I don't. I used to play scrabble a lot but hardly ever now!

6:07 am

Lizlin

I know some people here play words with friends on Facebook but I really don't want to start with facebook games.

6:07 am

smores

Hello again, back with coffee

6:07 am

Lizlin

Hi smores - good morning :)

6:08 am

Jommie

And you, Molly? I play ruzzle and wordfeud on my smartphone and I also play wordsplay on the internet.

6:08 am

Jommie

Welcome back, smores!

6:08 am

smores

Good eveing Liz :)

6:08 am

smores

Hi again Jommie

6:08 am

MollyL

This is the only word game I play on the computer. I barely have time for this one.

6:09 am

smores

Hello Molly :)

6:11 am

Jommie

I don't play facebook games either. I get a lot of invitations, though :). But babble is much more fun!

6:11 am

smores

Everything okay with you Liz?

6:11 am

Jommie

Molly, I know what you mean. There is always so much to do!

6:12 am

Lizlin

We're doing fine, thanks, Smores. Internet's still a bit iffy. Can only get to certain websites - mostly can't get to the news ones! Much of the water here's drying up now but beaches are totally eroded and still closed and many local places still flooded!

6:12 am

Jommie

Yeah! It has finally stopped raining!!

6:13 am

smores

So sad about the beaches, glad you are okay though :)

6:13 am

Lizlin

Good thing is that they're kind of used to these extreme conditions and tides and I know that within a few weeks, they'll have restored the beaches.

6:14 am

Lizlin

Thanks :)

6:14 am

smores

That's good, I know you love your walks on the beach :)

6:14 am

Lizlin

I guess that they have to get beaches back pretty quickly - so much of the tourism here is dependent upon them.

6:15 am

smores

Bad rains where you are also Jommie?

6:15 am

Jommie

Well, not as bad as where Liz lives :).

6:16 am

Lizlin

Thank goodness for that. Holland is so flat! It would be devastated by the cyclones here!

6:16 am

Lizlin

Any clues for the de 7 / 36 pls?

6:17 am

smores

That's good, we had some fairly heavy storms here last night, some areas close to me are without power.

6:17 am

smores

sorry liz, don't have it

6:17 am

smores

just found 2 ad7's though

6:17 am

Haz1558

de7/36 - take coloured material from the walls?

6:17 am

Jommie

Yes, our 'extreme weather conditions' are nothing in comparison to your cyclones.

6:17 am

Lizlin

Glad you escaped, smores. Hope there wasn't too much damage.

6:18 am

Lizlin

ty Haz! Weird word!

6:18 am

smores

ty Haz and good morning :)

6:18 am

Haz1558

Good morning, afternoon all. And you're welcome.

6:19 am

smores

No, not much, a few trees down in the area. Nothing major.

6:19 am

Lizlin

Wow Haz! Just read what you wrote in your profile - attracted by your ic4!!!!

6:19 am

Jommie

Glad to hear that there wasn't too much damage, smores!

6:19 am

Lizlin

Me too!

6:19 am

Haz1558

Bear it in mind, lizlin. I hope I'm wrong.

6:20 am

Jommie

Good afternoon Haz!

6:20 am

Lizlin

I hope so too! I'm trusting in some ways but also try not to give out too much personal info.

6:21 am

Lizlin

Everyone here seems so nice - it is sad to think that some or one can't be trusted!

6:21 am

Uneaixoise

glad you're ok, smores -- very scary here in TN -- tornado sirens woke me at 3:00am -- i'm very lucky -- some areas of the state had winds up to 100mph -- no power outage or damage at my house -- just lots and lots of rain -- whew!

6:21 am

MollyL

Haz, I think you are spot on in your comments. People here are very nice, but I find many of them WAY too trusting.

6:22 am

Jommie

You can never be too careful when it comes to privacy.

6:22 am

MollyL

Stay safe Une.

6:22 am

Lizlin

Sounds like what we had here Une - horrible. Glad you're OK :)

6:22 am

Haz1558

I'm just very suspicious after recent events.

6:22 am

Jommie

Wow Uneaixoise, that sounds scary indeed! Glad you're ok!

6:22 am

Lizlin

I've become more so!

6:22 am

MollyL

And well you should be Haz. We all should be.

6:23 am

smores

Just finished reading your profile Haz...

6:23 am

Jommie

We've experienced some storms last night, but I'm glad there aren't any tornados in the Netherlands.

6:24 am

Uneaixoise

my one dog who's terrified of storms (in icon) is in a total stupor from her doggie sedative :-)

6:24 am

Lizlin

Beautiful dog - poor thing :(

6:25 am

smores

aww..

6:26 am

Jommie

Poor dog :(.

6:26 am

BRB

6:26 am

Uneaixoise

i try not to give her anything (she's 14) unless she's really freaking out and trembling badly -- which she was last nite!

6:27 am

Lizlin

Our dog (when I was a kid) was like that when there were fireworks! Not the babble kind - lol

6:27 am

Uneaixoise

:=)

6:28 am

Jommie

Our cats are also terrified of fireworks.

6:29 am

Jommie

And vacuum cleaners *lol*

6:29 am

Uneaixoise

omg don't get me started on vacuum cleaners! LOL

6:29 am

Jommie

6:30 am

Uneaixoise

welcome to babble, jommie :-)

6:32 am

Jommie

ty Une :)

6:32 am

Aloyisius

adding my welcome, too, Jommie - wonderful Wednesday to you all, Babblers!

6:33 am

Uneaixoise

back in a bit -- byeeee

6:33 am

Jommie

I always make sure that I know where the cats are when I'm vacuuming the living room. Scared cats can do funny things :).

6:33 am

Lizlin

Bye une :)

6:33 am

Uneaixoise

(hey aloy!)

6:33 am

Jommie

Thanks Aloyisius!

6:33 am

Aloyisius

love your dog, Une...

6:36 am

Aloyisius

a Husky was at our front door the other day, staring through the glass and wagging his tail.. I let him in - fortunately he was wearing an id tag - so I called the owner who came rushing over; the dog had escaped and they were looking all over for "Calamity"

6:36 am

Jommie

Lol, Calamity. That's a promising name for a dog :).

6:36 am

Lizlin

Glad you looked after "Calamity" and his owner was happy to find him.

6:37 am

Aloyisius

I know.. they adopted it - it was up for adoption because it continually ran off!

6:37 am

Aloyisius

previous owner said it went through the electric fence even..

6:39 am

Jommie

Wow, that is one doggy eager to explore the world :).

6:39 am

Lizlin

We put a dog in our yard yesterday that was running around the street. I called the owner (dog also wearing an ID tag) and she said it belonged to her estranged husband. But the dog got out under our back gate - tiny space - it really msut've forced itself and I guess it made its way home. Apparently it lives somewhere on our street. But i haven't seen it roaming about!

6:40 am

Jommie

Our cats are way to scared to go outside. I let them into the garden every now and then, but when they hear an unusual sound, they come rushing back inside again :).

6:40 am

Aloyisius

the neighbor lives across the road from us, and the road is a very dangerous one - so they were really worried.

6:40 am

Lizlin

Glad Calamity is safe and I think Bella is too!

6:43 am

Jommie

I can imagine that they were very worried, with a dangerous road so nearby. When we were living in our previous house, there was a dog wandering around. So I called the animal protection service and it turned out that the owner was neglecting the dog and that it ran off whenever it could. So sad...

6:45 am

Aloyisius

down to 29 and need a refill.. anyone want an onion bagel while I'm up? brb ... well, Jommie, I don't think they neglect Calamity, but the dog didn't want to go home! It balked with they put him on a leash and had to be dragged off to the car.. sigh

6:46 am

Haz1558

Dogs roaming can have pretty serious consequences. We had a recent case of three Siberian huskies getting loose, worrying sheep etc. Result was two dogs shot dead by the farmer, one injured but later put down and two dead sheep plus the possibility of other sheep aborting. Pretty tragic all round.

6:46 am

Lizlin

40 left for tomorrow and it's time to stop. Thanks for the chat. Enjoy your days - I miss onion bagels, so I'd love one! Back tomorrow :)

6:47 am

Jommie

An onion bagel sounds good! Would you like to have a cup of coffee in return? :) I hope that the owners can calm Calamity down, so he won't escape every time. Haz: that sounds really tragic indeed!

6:48 am

Jommie

Bye lizlin, have a nice day!

6:48 am

I hope you get rid of the fire ants very soon, Aloy!

7:05 am

o-o

No, little snow.

7:05 am

Aloyisius

no getting rid of them, Jommie... they just move their mounds.. but at least I can try to clear them from our yard so that I can weed and plant without getting attacked

7:05 am

Aloyisius

nothing like being swarmed and stung by those boogers.. ugh

7:06 am

o-o

I tried a firecracker once .... the ants that survived were not pleased.

7:07 am

do you enjoy winter activities like skating and skiing and snowmobiling, BR?.... lol, I'm imagining blowing up a fire ant mound!

Hello, car. Hope you escape the flu.

8:04 am

Yes, I knew she still had a ways to go, glad she is doing well.

8:04 am

Well, Zack has it now. NOt the flu though...more the sore throat, cough and fever thing.

LOL! TY again BR!

8:11 am

I just got some horrible news this morning, our friend's father was shot and killed on monday night. I don't even know how to process it.

8:11 am

car.eeyore

Oh no! Mael! I am so sorry to hear that.

8:13 am

smores

Wow, Mael so sorry

8:13 am

mael

he had three kids, a grandkid on the way, had worked his ass off for twenty years in his convenience store, and someon tried to rob the place and shot him. It doesn't even make sense

8:14 am

smores

Thanks BR...took me a minute, but I got it :)

8:14 am

Jommie

That's terrible news, mael! Sorry to hear that!

8:14 am

smores

Did they catch the person?

8:14 am

mael

yeah, last night

8:15 am

mael

he had security cameras up

8:15 am

car.eeyore

Mael...are you in the Boston area? I heard something very similar to this on the news this morning.

8:15 am

mael

yeah, we are, and his son and daughter, our friends, live here too. But our friend's dad was in Virginia.

8:16 am

car.eeyore

Oh how strange. I am so sorry for you and your friends. {{hugs}}

8:16 am

smores

Oh so this happened in VA?

8:16 am

trentsnana

Good morning, everyone.

8:16 am

mael

yeah, near Richmond

8:17 am

car.eeyore

Hello trentsnana

8:17 am

trentsnana

That is so sad, mael. If it weren't for greed, this world would be perfect.

8:17 am

mael

thanks, car. I just don't have the words to tell them anything. Losing parents to illness or accident I understand, it happened to me, but gun violence?

8:18 am

smores

So sorry, rough enough losing a parent

8:18 am

trentsnana

Senseless deaths are never easy to process.

8:19 am

smores

There really aren't words mael, just be there for them is all you can do.

8:19 am

smores

Not the it helps much at this point and time, but at least they caught the person.

8:20 am

smores

*that

8:20 am

mael

yeah, we'll do our best to be there for them. And that it a comfort, catching the perp at least brings a little more closure

8:21 am

smores

Yes, later that will mean alot.

8:23 am

smores

I had a niece who was robbed and severly beaten during a robbery. They finally caught the person. However it took 3 weeks and that time was nerve racking. Just knowing he was still out there.

8:23 am

mael

and time helps everything. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring down the chat like this, it's just that we just found out. I'm sorry smores, that's horrible! Is she better now?

8:24 am

smores

Yes, mael, thank you. This was several years ago.

8:25 am

smores

np mael, It helps to share

8:26 am

mael

I'm glad to hear that she's okay, and I really hope whoever did that to her is still rotting in jail

8:27 am

smores

Yes, yes they are. Armed robbery and attempted murder conviction. Showed no remorse so the judge gave him the max. 30year

8:27 am

mael

and good riddance to bad rubbish.

8:28 am

bichon

I on't understand why a person would show no remorse. Isn't it in their self interest. Must be a sociopath

8:28 am

smores

She is fine now, tok a long time though to heal emotionally.

8:28 am

mael

I can only imagine

8:29 am

smores

Agree bichon, but glad he didn't

8:30 am

smores

I will keep your friends in prayer mael..they have a long road ahead

8:30 am

mael

thank you, smores

8:35 am

bichon

sorry to change the subject. Is anyone else finding this grid inscrutable?

8:35 am

bichon

I've had to peek at the list way earlier than usual

9:18 am

9:18 am

hurshy

err... ummmm....

i think you were right the first time, one n debonaire

9:19 am

Erda

9:19 am

Uneaixoise

yes!! Ezio Pinza!

9:19 am

hurshy

i have seen that movie... once... a long time ago...

9:19 am

hursh, i'm in a coma after being awakened at 3:00 by tornado sirens :-)

9:19 am

hurshy

ah yes that looks better

9:19 am

Erda

Thank you hurshy!

9:20 am

Rows

i like the word debonair

9:20 am

Rows

it's not used often enough

9:20 am

guernseygirl

What do you do when you hear them une?

9:20 am

Uneaixoise

thought it was so cool that his first name AND last name are in the grid!

9:20 am

hurshy

ah well at least you're not dead from a tornado!

9:20 am

Rows

then again, i guess there aren't so many men who qualify to be described that way anymore...

9:21 am

hurshy

i think george clooney is debonair

9:21 am

Uneaixoise

SpellZone says debonnaire is also accepted :-)

9:21 am

Uneaixoise

Uneaixoise

You are not that close to water, Une. Must be good sirens to lure sailors from a distance.

9:22 am

hurshy

maybe rupert everett

9:22 am

Uneaixoise

close to water? I didn't say it was a hurricane . . . a tornado! LOL

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

yes, hursh!!!

9:23 am

o-o

you talked of sirens too

9:23 am

hurshy

i think brabble is making a joke referencing the sirens of myth, the women who sing and lure sailors...

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

TN has tornadoes every spring and fall . . . fortunately they rarely touch down in Nashville

9:24 am

Uneaixoise

Uneaixoise

hey, Annie -- earlier in the chog I mentioned that Shelby (in icon) had to take a doggie sedative when the tornado sirens went off at 3:00am and STAYED blaring

9:30 am

Anniebrook

We just had another power failure, power back on but the elevators are out and I don't feel like walking down 24 floors.

9:30 am

Uneaixoise

OMG, annie -- so sorry!!

9:31 am

Anniebrook

Une, Ugh nasty sound but lifesaving when needed

9:31 am

9:32 am

Anniebrook

I was supposed to visit a friend today who is not doing so great..I dunno...going to see if the elevators are up and running

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

same with Shelby -- thunder, lightning, fireworks, vacuum cleaners . . . :-)

9:32 am

hego

are they still having a problem Annie?

9:32 am

Rows

actually i didn't get BR's clue, maybe i'm just too tired :/

9:33 am

wurdygurl

Think of Tattoo from Fantasy Island. Maybe that will help. What he said when the guests arrived

9:33 am

Uneaixoise

wurdy, i was thinking the same thing! LOL

9:33 am

Rows

man, that actually is something to think about... if the elevators in my building stopped working i'd be kinda screwed as far as going out and coming back

9:33 am

wurdygurl

lol great minds

9:33 am

Rows

that would suck

9:33 am

guernseygirl

For z6, use a prefix that means to remove.

9:34 am

Rows

hi, all. I posted in the chog a few days ago that my oldest brother is in the ICU. He is still therer, but they took him off the ventilator yesterday and gave him an oxygen mask instead. He is breathing on his own with minimal support from the oxygen; he is awake and able to talk a little. We are counting this as a miracle. He was very close to death last week.

9:54 am

hurshy

that's good angel... how old is he

9:54 am

mael

I am very glad to hear that, angel

9:55 am

9:55 am

Angelsong

hurshy, he is six weeks shy of being eleven months older than I am. He just turned 58.

9:56 am

hurshy

what was wrong with him? try to get him out of the ICU as soon as possible, that's a bad place for people, they get real depressed and whatnot.

11:39 am

nice to see you again.

11:39 am

EvaNadine

and you as well. :)

11:40 am

this was a stupid, wasted day. The most productive thing I did was get 50 words in here.....

11:41 am

rubyfoo

hiya eva

11:41 am

Nef

ARGH! Can't chat in word box or enter words in chog; too many rules......

11:41 am

Nef

what's wrong, ruby?

11:41 am

MollyL

*Pats Ruby on the head and fixes her a drink*

11:41 am

rubyfoo

I thought argh was spelled with 2 a's and 2 h's but what do I know

11:42 am

Nef

is that another rule, ruby? ;-)

11:42 am

rubyfoo

the technician was here again, working on the fridge. It may be a lost cause, have already spent close to $300 on it

11:42 am

Nef

I can't spell either today it seems

11:42 am

rubyfoo

hahah, nef

11:43 am

rubyfoo

11:43 am

Nef

oh, my, ruby. It might be easier to buy a new one at that price!

11:44 am

rubyfoo

nothing like throwing good money after bad. Besides what I've spent on the repairman, I've had to buy a little fridge for the pantry and a small freezer for the garage.

11:44 am

rubyfoo

what do they say, "In for a penny, in for a pound"

11:45 am

Nef

(((ruby))) you don't need that headache, do you?

11:45 am

crosshair

with 300 already into it,you may as well cough up another 200..if that will get it done

11:45 am

MollyL

<---Gets very frustrated with temperamental appliances

11:46 am

crosshair

any more than that then kiss the 300 goodbye and scrap the thing

11:46 am

rubyfoo

it's all very annoying and GE no longer does biz in France, so it's impossible to get the parts

11:46 am

rubyfoo

it has started making a (new) funny noise but if I give it a smack, the noise stops

11:47 am

Nef

to me, that's all the more reason to get a new one. Too many headaches

11:47 am

MollyL

Sounds like a loose thingy

11:47 am

rubyfoo

how do you say that in French, Molly?

11:47 am

Judi

Greetings, Babblers!

I agree with Nef. I wouldn't put any more money into it either.

11:49 am

EvaNadine

i never used to be a fan, molly... but ive found i like tossing a few on my salad for a little sweetness

11:49 am

Nef

I need to either chat or work the puzzle. I just can't multitask well today

11:50 am

MMM! Beets!

11:52 am

MollyL

My regular old salad lays untouched on my desk, as people keep feeling the need to meander up to my desk and discuss the minutiae of their life. *Sigh*

11:52 am

EvaNadine

my homemade buffalo chicken salad helps curb my cravings for wings without being TOO indulgent. :)

11:53 am

rubyfoo

because of my rough day I made my pecan/butter/brown sugar and sea salt treat

11:53 am

EvaNadine

its times like that, molly, that i appreciate having a door. people reevaluate what they came to discuss with you when they are confronted with the need to knock.

11:58 am

Nef

I'm on WW now too. I put 15 pounds on last Feb. when DH had back surgery twice (once emergently) and through his rehab. Since both of us needed surgery (mine was just on my hand; his was another back surgery) I decided that that was enough so I was proactive first.

11:58 am

LeslieAnn

I'd wandered off to gmail to chat with my daughter for a few minutes there. Does life seem a bit easier now that you know you have to cut down a bit?

1:37 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...it must!

1:38 pm

Nef

have you cut back yet?

1:38 pm

Jillyjill

I am in the process...

You will feel much better once you do cut back, Jilly. Been there, done that. If you're still in the process of cutting back; it may feel the opposite though.

1:57 pm

Jillyjill

I think you should...

1:58 pm

Nef

okay. :-) but darn! I really need to vacuum too......

1:59 pm

Jillyjill

Want versus need?

2:00 pm

Nef

to vacuum, I'd need to pick up the papers I've been sorting on the floor; to pick them up I shouldcontinue filing them; to file them I'll also need to punch holes in the ones that belong in binders; etc.

2:01 pm

LeslieAnn

that sounds like a slippery slope nef, better stay here

2:01 pm

Nef

these are all needs (unfortunately)

2:01 pm

Nef

it's very slippery, LA. That's why I'm staying here on Babble! :-D

2:03 pm

Nef

And I "should" review my notes for ChildBirth Ed tonight (I'm teaching it)

2:05 pm

Nef

but I won't do that either til I'm done.

2:06 pm

MollyL

Nef, I swear, you are the busiest woman I know.

2:07 pm

Nef

not really, Molly. I should have filed stuff as it came in these past 2 months and I didn't. SO I made my own work harder.

2:08 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...I am in that situation on a regular basis...but that is why I am cutting back on things...can't spend all my time running at the edge of deadllines!

2:09 pm

Nef

Sometimes it seems that deadlines are what keeps me moving! :-D

2:11 pm

Michnick

Ah hello all. Speaking of living on the edge, I worked at home all morning and then took a "break" to sort through my downstairs neighbor's jewelry (she passed away on Saturday and her son asked me to sift through the chaff to find the wheat - not all that much wheat!) when my phone rang at 4:45. "Where are you?" I had spaced out that I had a 4:30 meeting on the other side of town - during rush hour - in the rain!!!

2:12 pm

Jillyjill

I'm going to get to half way and then finish a few things...

2:12 pm

Nef

oh, Mich! Did you miss the meeting?

2:13 pm

Jillyjill

Yipes mich!! How dreadful...(admits to occasional missed meetings myself-but no rush hour here)

2:13 pm

Michnick

I flew there and managed to "only" be an hour late. It was a three hour meeting so all was forgiven.

2:15 pm

Nef

oh, wow! I'm glad you made it; but that's an awful feeling

2:16 pm

Michnick

totally, and of course I flew out of the house "as is" in my comfy unflattering home clothes

2:17 pm

Nef

LOL! Hopefully not your housecoat and jammies!

2:18 pm

Michnick

No, not that bad. On principle I don't walk around in housecoats & jammies, but a pretty ugly skirt and none to clean sweater.

2:20 pm

Nef

I'm a lazy butt in the AM. I stay in my robe and jammies til about 9 or 10 these days (usually up by 7 or 8 at the latest though

2:21 pm

Nef

Friday I have to actually BE at work by 6:30 though to run the New OB Clinic all day. Not really looking forward to it right now; but once I get there it will be okay.

2:22 pm

Michnick

Well, I am awake by 6 or 7, sometimes I'll drift off again until almost 8 but I don't actually get up and dressed right away. My disability makes it especially hard for me in the morning, so I usually sip coffee and make phone calls from bed, but once I'm up I'm dressed - full job - with make up!

2:22 pm

Jillyjill

<----has to be up at 5 and to work by 6:45 or 7 every day...*sigh*

Make Up?? Wow! I'm impressed!

2:23 pm

Hi cosdem. What's your new job?

2:23 pm

cosdem

inventory and ordering for 7-11 franchise. just two 4 hour shifts a week but.. its something!

2:24 pm

Michnick

Oh don't be impressed, it keeps me sane. Being overweight, in a wheelchair and hitting 50 was hard enough - I needed to somehow hold it all together.

2:24 pm

Jillyjill

cos, did you get that hearing impaired support job you talked about?

2:24 pm

Nef

Congrats,cos!

2:24 pm

cosdem

no they havent announced the openings yet.. so im waiting..

2:24 pm

Michnick

Great news Cos - I am so happy for you! Right now my paid work is also only 8 hours a week, but I am busy all the time anyway.

2:24 pm

cosdem

thanks nef!

2:24 pm

Jillyjill

Oh.guess not..sounds good and congrats cos

2:25 pm

cosdem

right. it gets me out of the house for 8 hours a week :)

2:25 pm

Nef

Mich, I don't think I've ever worn makeup to work. I only wear (and wore) it for special events.

2:25 pm

cosdem

ive worn make up to work in the past lol (concealor)

I spent 6 months in the hospital when I became disabled and found it would have been so easy to slip into poor me, slob mode so I started wearing a bit every day, now that I'm older, I feel ugly and undressed without it.

2:27 pm

Michnick

Oh Jilly, I totally relate!

2:28 pm

Nef

the Aunt that raised us didn't believe in using makeup other than lipstick; so none of us 4 girls ever got in the habit of using make up. I think I used to wear a little eyeshadow and under-eye concealer when I was working nights and had meetings to go to; but not often

2:29 pm

Michnick

I was into the theatre as a young girl/teenager so I've been dabbling a bit my whole life. My mom came to me when she had somewhere "dressy" to go to.

2:31 pm

Nef

I know a gal who says no one would recognise her if she didn't wear make up. I rather doubt her; but then again, who knows?

2:32 pm

Michnick

I actually know someone who puts on such a complete "face" that I truly didn't recognize her when I happened to see her without makeup. I try to look like me - just a wee bit better.

2:32 pm

Jillyjill

Well, 50 left...bbl

Michnick

Hello. Just getting started. Today has been slow after a busy Monday. I decided to make doughnuts and am glad to have completed that goal for today.

3:25 pm

3:26 pm

Hi medusa. Hope your day has gone well. Is it still cold in Great Britain? I have a friend who wrote about the winter weather.

3:28 pm

medusa

it is still cold but i love cold so all is good. had a busy day as i did shopping and went to a group i go to

3:28 pm

lynxxx

Finished - there was some pretty odd words in my last 10. Hint for those just starting - a 10th of the words have 'how old you are' at the end or near the end of them. Must run - Bye

3:29 pm

stidgmere

By lynxxx. Thanks for the clues.

3:29 pm

medusa

bye lyn

3:30 pm

stidgmere

How nice you got out and about medusa. I need to look for a new coat. My old coat is still just as cozy as ever but not fresh. So that will be my next shopping trip.

3:30 pm

medusa

i have a new coat i have had for a while but not fit in! i will one day

3:33 pm

stidgmere

Have you noticed, maybe not in GB, but around here in the great Northwest, how many coats are black?

3:34 pm

medusa

i have noticed that here but they are usually in a style i dont like! the one i have that is a bit tight is red but the one i am wearin is black

3:35 pm

stidgmere

Aha, so it is probably a real world-wide trend for coats. I like something cheery or a little bright.

3:36 pm

medusa

i like black but just fancied something different. was hard to find the red one though#!

4:54 pm

Soodle

Jilly, I'm pathetic at changing my icon, but I'm going to try.... Stand by....

4:55 pm

Jillyjill

Just went there, he looks amazing..I should post one of my mom, she just turned 93...

4:55 pm

Jillyjill

Soodle, we are FB friends...just don't always get your newfeed.

Can't change my pic, but will do, when an offspring makes themself available to help ,

5:02 pm

Soodle

Jilly, Sue, are your parents in good health?

5:02 pm

Jillyjill

But watching my mom and mil age, not so sure I should be working so hard to extend my age...old age has so many sad parts...

5:02 pm

Jillyjill

Only my mom survives...

5:03 pm

Jillyjill

How about you soodle?

5:05 pm

Soodle

My Mom is 81, Jilly..and I have also come to that way of thinking, but ask me again when I'm 80!!!!!

5:06 pm

Jillyjill

Well, MIL is 80, and has severe memory issues, my mom can't see or hear and ost all of her friends and siblings have died..just kinda sad

5:08 pm

Soodle

Mother has smoked like a chimney since age 16, has enjoyed her 'drop of whiskey' nightly since age 24. My Dad has drank like a fish all his life. I think the pair of them are that exception that prove the rule.....

5:09 pm

MollyL

Soodle, I just emailed you the picture right side to.

5:09 pm

Jillyjill

?pickled well? LOL, not being mean soodle, just have been around the irish too long...

5:11 pm

Jillyjill

Okay...need clue for the no6/24...

5:11 pm

uusue2

Sorry, stepped away for a few.

5:11 pm

MollyL

no6/24 ends in how old you are

5:11 pm

Soodle

Hey Jilly, like I say, they are both still around to tell the tale....

5:13 pm

Jillyjill

The whiskey makes one strong...

5:13 pm

uusue2

ah, no6 actually describes my dad (or would if it were an adjective)

5:13 pm

MollyL

You are allowed to step away Sue. You don't have to be sorry. : D

5:13 pm

Jillyjill

Well, NOW it looks easy...ty Molly!

5:14 pm

MollyL

Oh and Soodle, when you change the picture, change the full monty caption, unless there is something about your Da that we don't know.

5:14 pm

uusue2

oh, I got some semi-good news today...

5:15 pm

uusue2

...it turns out we have almost a month more to get moved than I thought we would. We have until the end of March, and the house should be ready March 1.

5:16 pm

MollyL

Yay for good news. This place is full of bad news all the time. Yay for good news.

5:16 pm

Soodle

Yay for good news!

5:17 pm

uusue2

So that means we can move gradually (the new house is only about 1/2 mile away), which will be nice. I'll probably still hire movers for a few big things but it won't be quite as much of a rush as I was afraid it might be.

5:18 pm

Soodle

Molly. Excuse me. Thank you for your help. Sorry for not thanking you earlier.

5:19 pm

kbckc

uusue2, since I haven't had the pleasure of meeting your dad, what does that mean?

Short moves are really nice, gives one a chance to organize and all. When we bought this house was about 3 miles, we did like you with moving small stuff. Then DH dad, brother and MIL came, we moved the big stuff and had dinner in our new home that very night!

5:37 pm

Soodle

Soodle is still holding our her empty wineglass.... And looking hopefully around the chog for a white-coated waiter to tend her needs...

Heading off to bed now. Before I logged in tonight I was unenthusiastic about Suzie's 18th. Now, I'm looking forward to it. Once again, thank you, Babble friends, for your perspective. Good night all. :-)

7:22 pm

7:25 pm

gapeach

I can understand that.

7:28 pm

grammaterri1

I have a 90 lb black lab that tries to jump in my lap in storms. she is so scared of everything tho. if someone tries to pet her when we go for a walk, she tries to jump in my arms

7:30 pm

gapeach

I just had a mental flash of that. LOL! That is awhole lot of love there!

7:31 pm

grammaterri1

lol it sure is. I take her bye bye with me every where and usually she is fine sitting in the back seat. but tonight someone talked to her thru the cracked window and she literally jumped into my seat (the drivers seat) to get away from them. thankfully I was not driving!

7:32 pm

grammaterri1

I have a secure her in the seat type leash I probably will need to use from now on as she has done that before.

7:32 pm

MollyL

We have tornado warnings around here, but mostly expecting heavy rain and high wind.

7:33 pm

gapeach

Yes, that could cause real problems.

7:33 pm

gapeach

I hope "warnings" is all you get from this, Molly.

8:34 pm

arctictundra

salmo..have you aced this yet?

8:35 pm

Lizlin

Thanks welki - Tbings have been very weird since then - floods etc. Were without power for several days - nothing compared to the people who suffered with Sandy of course!

8:37 pm

gapeach

Hey there, welki.

8:37 pm

welki

strange weather all over - i understand eastern Australia is having a bad time of it, too

8:37 pm

gapeach

eaget

8:37 pm

8:37 pm

gapeach

welki

ahhhh - my mistake. northeast.

8:41 pm

welki

i'm nsw-centric :)

8:42 pm

Lizlin

The main damage from the cyclone was in Bundaberg - 5 hours from here but then the cyclone ripped through the rest of QLD and into Northern NSW

8:42 pm

welki

i love geography/maps, and i'm ashamed i didn't know better

8:43 pm

welki

i see it on the map - just south of gladstone (which happens to be the name of a once-great seaside restaurant in malibu)

8:44 pm

Lizlin

Well, we're on the Gold Coast - pretty lucky compared to many places!

8:44 pm

herinfernallady

LIz glad to see you haven't floated away

8:45 pm

Alternative spelling to pi 6 / 30 - add a vowel

9:57 pm

She definitely had the look, but her acting is awful. And her version of a Boston accent is laughable.

9:58 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the pi 7/44 clue Lizlin. I just found the word

herinfernallady

Liz - he was fine in Interview with a Vampire as the story was complete different to the books any way but Reacher STEP the f away. Seriously the director was a total dick

10:06 pm

Lizlin

It's the Reacher movie that my friend was talking about - I've not read the books nor seen the movie yet but I gather he was the complete physical opposite! Didn't he have a large share in the film? I liked him in Top Gun and Interview with a Vampire!

10:10 pm

herinfernallady

Ok Reacher in the books is about 260 pounds and built like a line backer. Tom Cruise looks like an angry little leprocorn.

10:11 pm

Lizlin

Stupid casting - but as I said, I think Tom Cruise had quite a share in the finances or backing of the movie!

10:11 pm

herinfernallady

And he did have a huge share in the Finances.

10:12 pm

herinfernallady

Because I would have paid a lot of cash to see Chris Hemsworth in that role

10:12 pm

Lizlin

So why are we surprised that he's got the lead role!

10:12 pm
