Lizlin

Hi all :)

1:27 am

gapeach

Hi there, Liz.

1:27 am

Lizlin

Hi Peach - I guess everyone finished this very quickly!

1:29 am

gapeach

I guess everyone except me.....I just now found the last one.....think this the only time I didn't ask for clues. LOL

1:29 am

Lizlin

Congrats, Peach. I've got 20 left but will probably leave a few for tomorrow.

1:30 am

gapeach

How is your weather today?

1:31 am

Lizlin

It was warm and lovely during the middle of the day - very cold this morning and chilling down now!!! Very full answer!

1:31 am

Lizlin

Typical winter weather for here but probably colder than is usual.

1:34 am

gapeach

Our weather has been so weird. I suppose you've heard of the deadly tornadoes that ripped through the middle of the country.....so many killed and injured......looks like a war zone. We've been lucky here in Georgia. We are only 100 miles from the
Atlintic, so if we get really bad weather on the coast, we do feel the effects.

1:35 am

gapeach

Atlantic - even

1:35 am

Lizlin

Yes I saw about the tornadoes and the devastation but also a lovely piece about a woman survivor, who thought she'd lost everything but then her dog heard her voice, while she was being interviewed. A lovely reunion.

1:36 am

Lizlin

Got to go - BBL. Sleep well Peach :)

1:36 am

gapeach

Oh, that was wonderful.

1:36 am

gapeach

You too, Liz.

2:23 am

sprite

2:30 am

sprite

2:31 am

Buttonman

well, grid is not to bad..I have 30 done and 24 to go

2:31 am

sprite

same here

2:31 am

puglet

GREETINGS EVERYONE!

2:31 am

sprite

hiya puglet :)

2:32 am

puglet

Hi Sprite

2:32 am

Buttonman

hi pug, how are you

2:33 am

puglet

Hi Buttonman---Iam just starting the day and so far its good--lol

2:33 am

sprite

phantoms: cigar and apricot

2:34 am

Buttonman

I woke up and could not go back to sleep but I am heading back to bed and will finish the other 20 in the morning...see you guys later

2:34 am

sprite

I hope you can sleep now, Buttonman. Pleasant dreams.

2:34 am

puglet

night then Button

2:38 am

sprite

wow... I see a tentative sun coming out to play here.

2:40 am

puglet

how is your time different from mine Sprite? Its 3:40 am here on this thursday

2:41 am

sprite

ouch, that is middle of the night for me. Here it is 9.40 am.

2:42 am

sprite

are you always up so early, pug?

2:42 am

Lizlin

Hi again and just for the record, it's 5.40 pm here! Lol!

2:42 am

sprite

hiya Liz! You are ahead of us all, as usual ;)

2:42 am

puglet

Yep about 98% of the time

2:42 am

Lizlin

;)

2:42 am

puglet

HI Liz

2:43 am

puglet

Your day about to end and ours is just starting

2:44 am

sprite

wow that is really early. My love starts work at 7 am, which I feel is rather early. I get up at 7 for the children.

2:44 am

Lizlin

I hate getting up early but since we moved here we tend to get up just after 8.

2:45 am

sprite

explain to me why brrr is a word and grrr isn't?

2:45 am

puglet

I usually wake about 230 to 3:00 am.Dont know why I just do

2:45 am

Lizlin

That's enable!

2:45 am

sprite

right. Only possible explanations, lol.

2:46 am

Lizlin

I'm learning!

2:46 am

sprite

ouch puglet. Don't get much sleep then, do you?

2:46 am

Lizlin

16 words hiding in what everyone says is an easy grid!

2:47 am

puglet

not really--I go to bed anywhere between 9-11 too

2:48 am

Lizlin

Wow! I need 7 - 8 hours of sleep otherwise I'm grumpy

2:48 am

sprite

down to 4 without trying hard... it IS an easy one, Liz. Give yourself a chance to get that second wind.

2:49 am

Lizlin

I'll do that Sprite :)

2:49 am

sprite

that would the bare minimum for me, puglet... but when I was younger and before my breakdown, I didn't sleep much either. Always up around 5 or 6 am.

2:49 am

sprite

usually works for me, Liz :)

2:50 am

puglet

before I gave up my job to take care of my sister I worked nights so I dont know if thats why I sleep so little

2:51 am

sprite

sounds quite plausible. Working nights tends to mess up one's sleeping rhythm. I didn't know you took care of your sister, puglet. How wonderful of you. How is she doing?

2:52 am

puglet

She does good as long as she has someone to cue her on what to do through out the day

2:53 am

sprite

that is pretty intensive work, puglet. How are YOU doing?

2:54 am

puglet

Im great! I rather take care of her then to put her in a home.

2:54 am

sprite

she is lucky to have you for a sister!

2:55 am

puglet

Thank you for your kind words but sometimes I feel the lucky one

2:55 am

Lizlin

That's fantastic, puglet and I bet it makes a real difference to your sister - whether she knows it or not.

2:56 am

sprite

fireflies. Had trouble finding one G4 word.

2:56 am

puglet

I just want her to have a happy life--I think we all deserve that

2:56 am

Lizlin

Congrats, sprite.

2:57 am

Lizlin

BBL . ENJOY YOUR DAYS

2:57 am

Lizlin

BBL . ENJOY YOUR DAYS

2:57 am

Lizlin

BBL . ENJOY YOUR DAYS

2:57 am

puglet

you too Liz

2:57 am

sprite

deserving is one thing, being able to create it is another. Lovely for both of you that you can do this.

2:57 am

Lizlin

sorry about the caps and repeated posts. iPad to blame!

2:58 am

sprite

bye Liz, havge a peaceful evening and a good night

2:59 am

sprite

*hugs to you both*
Am off to do something with my day. Enjoy yours!

2:59 am

puglet

thanks and the same to you--bye Sprite

3:00 am

o-o

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left.

3:01 am

puglet

Morning O--not sure I understand what you are meaning

3:03 am

grannyrose

*just popping in to say hi* {{{puglet}}}

3:05 am

puglet

((((ROSE))))!

3:05 am

grannyrose

:-)

3:05 am

puglet

I seen yesterday that you fell! You were already gone--How are you?sore?

3:07 am

grannyrose

sore is a good word to use. am in a splint and on crutches. someone had washed the floor at work and failed to put out 'wet floor' signs.

3:08 am

puglet

OMG! You didnt break anything did you?

3:08 am

grannyrose

fortunately no fracture, and not dislocated. but have a humungous swelling on my knee.

3:09 am

grannyrose

going in for review tomorrow...lol, even if the splint comes off, how am i supposed to drive the car?

3:09 am

puglet

ahh pour thing! I know that must of really hurt! Hopefully you get off to heal dont you

3:10 am

grannyrose

yes, puglet, it is under workcover. i am going to take my time, this time.

3:10 am

puglet

theres noone to take you?

3:11 am

puglet

Great! Now you can get some much needed rest! And you will rest -wont you Rose?

3:11 am

grannyrose

well, maybe himself...but that then leaves his 94 year old mum alone for nearly an hour.

3:14 am

grannyrose

yes, puglet, i am resting. have had the leg elevated for most of the day. main problem is that the shock has set my fibromyalgia off. i am having episodes of shaking, and episodes of not breathing. pretty scary when you realise that your lungs aren't working, and you have to think...take a breath in.

3:31 am

lynxxx

poor Rose! you have been in the wars again - just when you thought you were past it. Take it easy my friend.

3:31 am

lynxxx

hi Puglet

3:36 am

grannyrose

hey lyn. thanx for the tea and sympathy, but i'm okay. no major damage done.

3:36 am

lynxxx

ssshhh don't tell anyone - you are in a lot of pain and can't possibly go back to work for another week - or two

3:37 am

grannyrose

lol...okay...mum's the word.

3:39 am

grannyrose

lyn??? think i scared puglet off the chog.

3:40 am

lynxxx

Mind you I wouldn't normally say that but with what you have been thru leg wise in the last 2(?) years you need to treat those pins very carefully

3:40 am

lynxxx

she has probably finished this teeny grid already - would have liked a v. big one myself tonight

3:41 am

grannyrose

you are right there, lyn. i howled like a banshee when i fell. was so scared!!

3:41 am

lynxxx

I bet! scary that all that work could have been undone so easily

3:42 am

grannyrose

ah well, lyn. maybe on the weekend when we sit down with our glass of chardy and enjoy babble to it's fullest.

3:45 am

grannyrose

you know, lyn, on reflection...i fractured my ankle back in 2009. needed 2 lots of surgery to fix that problem, which, of course, lead to my knee problems. *sigh* roll on retirement i say. lol

3:46 am

lynxxx

You - and I - have been plahing Babble too long...I would have sworn that was only a couple of years ago

3:46 am

lynxxx

playing too

3:47 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, lyn. our memories and our mammaries are beginning to droop.

3:47 am

lynxxx

hah - grappa isn't here but gr** is

3:51 am

lynxxx

Leaving a few for my morning coffee...Bye Rose - rest well

3:55 am

grannyrose

later lyn. hope you have a good night, hun

4:11 am

Dianne

hi ruby

4:12 am

rubyfoo

hi dianne

4:12 am

rubyfoo

do you have spring? It seems to have totally passed us by

4:12 am

rubyfoo

rapt

4:13 am

rubyfoo

sorry, that was a welcome gift bad nel

4:13 am

Dianne

We have early summer here. Rainy and humid.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

it is sunny today but was 8C when I got up, very cold for end-May

4:14 am

Dianne

it's 25 - 27 c here today.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

at least it isn't raining

4:16 am

Dianne

We had horrible storm the last few days bout o.k. now.

4:16 am

Dianne

I really need to learn how to type :)

4:18 am

rubyfoo

we've just had rain, at least a little, every day and there are very few flowers for May. Usually, by now, there are roses and peonies

4:18 am

rubyfoo

the weeds like this weather, however, and the garden lookslike a jungle

4:19 am

Dianne

Well at least you have a garden.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

true, true

4:23 am

rubyfoo

and it is still pretty, even though it's mostly green

4:24 am

Dianne

is it a large garden?

4:25 am

rubyfoo

yes, pretty large and totally enclosed so the dogs can't get out. Last week they found a hole, but we've since had it closed

4:26 am

rubyfoo

and it's planted in all shades of pink, red, violet, blue, salmon and white. No orange or yellow, so it's very prtty and coherent, not like a French garden

4:26 am

Dianne

Sounds lovely. Do you have a patio out ther?

4:26 am

rubyfoo

I think it's about 1/2 acre, but I'm not sure

4:27 am

rubyfoo

we have a deck off the kitchen where we can eat or have drinks IF it ever wrms up

4:27 am

rubyfoo

(having trouble with the a'son this keyboard, sorry)

4:28 am

Dianne

That's so nice that you can sit our and see the garden. Do you ave alarge house?

4:28 am

rubyfoo

we are very Lucky to have found this place whend the dollar was still Worth anything

4:28 am

rubyfoo

by French standards, it's large, but not by Americn ones

4:29 am

rubyfoo

what's nice is that, since it's built on a hillside, it is on3levels and the garden slopes down andhas a great view of LakeAnnecy

4:30 am

Dianne

We live in an apartment in an old but sort of charming buildingl No balcony but we have walkway in the back of the flat and that is wher ei'll put my tomatoe plants.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

if you have goodleEarth, you can look up Veyrier du Lac

4:31 am

rubyfoo

my husband loves Hong Kong and used to go there from time to time when he was working. I've never been

4:31 am

Dianne

o.k. Ill look for it.

4:31 am

rubyfoo

Google*

4:33 am

rubyfoo

He always grows "missty" when he speaks of it' I guess he had great times there (long before we were married lol)

4:35 am

Dianne

It's a very interesting city. Extremely crowded and very vertical. It has an exciting pulse. It's also and expensive city because the property values are so very high.

4:35 am

jwr

ooh. Frustrating mini-grid. Gives me ag5.

4:41 am

Dianne

Wow - I didnt realize that you are right on she Swiss border. No wonder it's cold.

4:43 am

jwr

Won't even take Trekkie word

5:43 am

puglet

EvaNadine

ok babblers (if there are any hovering around), random question:

does anyone know of a way to find out the outcome of a car accident that you witnessed?

1:55 pm

dan2bit

was there a police report?

1:56 pm

EvaNadine

i dont know. we werent able to stop, but we called 911 to report it.

2:00 pm

welki

eva, doubtful you'd get any information on a random phone call to the police, but if you wanted to offer yourself up as a witness, i'm sure the police would be happy to have you (assuming you didn't give all your witness info to the 911 dispatcher)

2:01 pm

welki

and hi/bye to everyone - just popped in for a minute

2:01 pm

EvaNadine

my coworker made the call (i was driving) and they took down his cell number. (never called him back.)

it was only one car, so im guessing no report.
i was just curious if the driver was ok.

2:07 pm

stidmama

the police report is public record, but you might have to make an official freedom of information request, depending on how bureaucratic the department is. I know they're public record because almost the day after our recent car accident we started getting mail and phone calls from ambulance chasers wanting to "help" us

2:08 pm

stidmama

and hello

2:10 pm

stidmama

down to 13 earlier, really practicing avoidance behavior right now

2:12 pm

saanichcat

hello there stid! I've been wondering how you and your family are

2:12 pm

EvaNadine

hiya stiddy. :)

2:13 pm

EvaNadine

im not sure whether or not there was a police report... it was just the one lady + her car, no other people or cars. so there may not have been. i was just curious...

2:13 pm

stidmama

hey saanich -- pretty depressed today. I am so overwhelmed by the clutter in the living room here that I got partway through sorting, then shifted to another overwhelming task, then shifted to going throught videos I have taken while walking through the house, trying to find the one where I enumerate the items that were on the sofa (which were missed by the people who were tasked with doing a complete inventory of the house -- they missed a LOT).

2:14 pm

stidmama

other than that, though -- not bad. I had to turn down some work this week to be available for other things, and the one day I had lined up (today) got canceled. LOL which is okay because I have so many other things that need doing.

2:14 pm

stidmama

how are you, though? is it raining up your way, too? Pretty gloomy and chilly here.

2:15 pm

EvaNadine

sorry to hear, stid. i cant imagine everything you must be dealing with.
you let us know if theres anything we can do to help out -- or to cheer you up!
(im sure we could get crossy streaking through the chog, if that would crack a smile. ;) )

2:15 pm

stidmama

rofl EvaN! 'twould be an interesting spectacle, I am sure!

2:15 pm

saanichcat

I'm ok, still making parks. But I am more concerned about you

2:16 pm

saanichcat

If I had a passport I would come to help

2:17 pm

stidmama

:-) I DO have my passport, and I am hoping to take a long weekend once I have some assurance that the house is getting underway to come see you!

2:18 pm

stidmama

down to 4 now, still listless...

2:19 pm

stidmama

I think if we buy IKEA for the bulk of bathroom and bedroom fixtures we can afford the higher-end materials for the floors and windows. I am really trying to focus on infrastructure, knowing that even if I "only" substitute for another year I will make enough each month to buy at least one furniture or other small item to finish off furnishing the house.

2:20 pm

stidmama

three...

2:20 pm

saanichcat

PLEASE DO!! Now that my own place ( which got contaminated by black mold) is now cleaned out and I mean cleaned out about 1/3 my stuff all is ok. Repalnating the new deck with an arbor with 4 years of unfiled tax returns for which I got a huge accumulated refund, life is better than this time last year when faced with the disaster

2:21 pm

stidmama

WOW. good for you!!!! I am glad you were able to salvage so much.

2:22 pm

stidmama

mold is nasty -- the things we didn't get out of our house quickly enough got mildew all through them. There are only a few more things that I think we can try to recover, and I will do that with Tom this weekend.

2:22 pm

saanichcat

everything still goes out into the sun evry dat that we have sun which is not often enough

2:22 pm

stidmama

yep. the more sun the better.

2:23 pm

saanichcat

mildew can be alleviated (to a point). A babbler gave me directions on how to salvage my rare books

2:24 pm

saanichcat

but I had to have a haxmat team in

2:24 pm

saanichcat

hazmat

2:25 pm

saanichcat

and the sun is shining now, but as we say in the pacific NW, just wait a few minutes.. we are expecting thunderstorms this pm

2:25 pm

stidmama

:-) I hear that... now talking to Mother

2:26 pm

saanichcat

shall we keep in touch via email?

2:26 pm

stidmama

yes please!

2:28 pm

saanichcat

good. We will. Thanks. In ayear you will look back and pat yourself on the back for accomplishing what seemed iimpossible at the time. Lots of love.

2:47 pm

saanichcat

2:49 pm

why so chilly, cross? we're down to about 15 or 16 at the moment, and that seems plenty cold enough!

3:16 pm

crosshair

do not know.mother nature is being cruel

3:17 pm

crosshair

i can see it now.it is going to go right from this to 40c and we will be in agony

3:18 pm

crosshair

my ideal is 20c and sun with a touch of breeze off the bay

3:18 pm

stidmama

well, if it hits 40, you can bring a tent and visit us. We have fewer insects, and with the porta-potty in the driveway and a propane camp stove, you'd have all the comforts of home! ;-)

3:18 pm

crosshair

sounds good.i will make breakfasts

3:18 pm

stidmama

mmm. 22 maybe... clear blue sky, not that hazy stuff either

3:19 pm

stidmama

I'll buy the bacon!

3:19 pm

crosshair

3:19 pm

crosshair

i have heard stories from my wife about american bacon(stuff in florida)

3:19 pm

stidmama

LOL

3:20 pm

stidmama

oh no -- this bacon comes from local pigs that we know quite well... LOL depending on when you arrive, of course

3:20 pm

crosshair

though you can have a flat of eggs and a bag of tatties waiting

3:20 pm

stidmama

3:21 pm

crosshair

i will bring home made apple jelly if you can find me some gooseberry jam

3:21 pm

stidmama

3:22 pm

crosshair

3:22 pm

stidmama

If you come at the right time of year I can MAKE you the gooseberry jam. My stuff was in the house, so ... *sigh*

3:22 pm

stidmama

3:24 pm

stidmama

the lovely eggs we used to get got too expensive for us. $4 a dozen we were happy to pay, $4.50 we could go, but when it went to $5, we had to stop buying eggs so we get eggs only occasionally from the grocery store now.

3:24 pm

hi welki!

8:07 pm

he's having more side effects and is feeling pretty beat up; he understands now why they generally give people a rest after 12 cycles

stidmama

looking at accessibility websites to make sure I am getting measurements and options "right" for our home... there are a lot of things to remember.

9:17 pm

Jillyjill

Hi Book Doctor! I actually thought it was pretty good for a wee grid...

9:18 pm

stidmama

it was a quick grid, for the most part. my last word was a 4-letter fish

9:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:21 pm

Jillyjill

mine was re6/21... a bit of a monkeyed weird word

9:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

thanks, jilly, did not have that one, but i do now 8-)

9:22 pm

Jillyjill

At first look, however, I wasn't sure I was even going to dive in...hardly saw a word...but it got better

9:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i keep finding "terbo" and then the other half of my brain explains that it is not a word . . .

9:23 pm

9:29 pm

stidmama

9:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

bathrooms? you have an interesting hobby LOL

9:30 pm

Minveryork

I used Lickety's List because I didn't start babbling 'til 9:30 and needed to finish quickly so I can go to bed. However, I will be around to clue for a few more minutes if needed.

9:30 pm

stidmama

usually I have trouble this time of year, but every time it warms up enough for things to start blooming, it starts in raining again and washes things clean. Which makes it really nice for my sinuses, but not so much fun for anything else.

9:30 pm

knutmeg

Hi Stid!

9:30 pm

Jillyjill

Oh stiddy...a HUGE clawfoot tub I hope!!

9:31 pm

stidmama

planning the master bathroom and guest bath, Gwen -- trying really hard to keep things reasonable for money, but also need to make them accessible and nice enough we don't feel we have to remodel in ten years.

9:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

those clawfoot tubs look nice but how do you clean under 'em?

9:31 pm

stidmama

In our house, I was ready to remodel after five because all the fixtures were so awful.

9:32 pm

stidmama

with a thin mop, Gwen...

9:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(renter here, and i have no aesthetic taste, lol)

9:32 pm

Jillyjill

I had one in an apartment I live in. Plenty of room to sweep under one

9:32 pm

stidmama

I will have the plumbing for such a tub roughed in and then keep looking until I find the perfect one!

9:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

mop? mop? heavens to betsy

9:32 pm

Jillyjill

Kohler has some awesome tubs...

9:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(floor is so small in my bathroom that a mop would be overkill)

9:33 pm

Jillyjill

Spit shine gwen?

9:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:35 pm

Jillyjill

stidmama

the C words made me pretty grumpy

10:28 pm

stidmama
