3:55 am

gapeach

Hey there, rose. Where have you been? I'm just heading to bed. Think you will like the grid.

3:56 am

sprite

ah, I think I found the oe. Related to the female replication organs.

3:56 am

MimiCat

Yes, peach, GO TO BED!! I'm having a bit of insomnia right now so thought I'd try this great grid. Only here for a bit because I'm working later today.

3:56 am

grannyrose

oe7, another name for the female hormone...oe + ***eet, road + not out

3:56 am

MimiCat

((rose)) hello, dear!

3:56 am

3:57 am

grannyrose

3:57 am

sprite

lol yeah... true. And the same word, but ending in nerv*** breakdown.

3:57 am

sprite

hi mimicat

3:57 am

gapeach

Nite, my peeps.

3:57 am

sprite

night night, peach, sleep well

3:57 am

MimiCat

Hi, sprite. Finally got a job doing transcription at home.

3:57 am

grannyrose

sleep well, peach, see you tomorrow?

3:58 am

MimiCat

Night, peach....pleasant dreams.

3:58 am

sprite

nice, mimicat. Gratz.

3:58 am

grannyrose

oh, mimi, what great news...

3:59 am

MimiCat

It has been a long, difficult time, rose...I can finally see my way clear. That which does not kill us makes us stronger, right? Now I keep saying the prayer "Please, God, don't make me any stronger!"

4:00 am

grannyrose

LOL, mimi...my heart goes out to you...so know where you are coming from.

4:02 am

MimiCat

Though I've certainly had a tough time, it's nothing compared to some of our Babble friends who've had much more to deal with...I feel blessed to have had the support of my friends and family in such a trying time. In most situations there is still something to be grateful for, right?

4:02 am

grannyrose

have another 2 weeks to go, wearing this blessed splint. and the painful area on the medial aspect of my knee is no better. * sigh* if my surgeon says more surgery, you will find me in the rubber room.

4:03 am

sprite

my son came home safely last night, after 3 days with school in Geneva at CERN, and my girl will come home today after 5 days survival trekking through the Ardennes in Belgium.

4:03 am

grannyrose

awww, mimi, you are so right. i really must count my blessings, as you say.

4:03 am

sprite

argh ro4... I will keep my fingers crossed. It is a frustrating road you are travelling.

4:04 am

MimiCat

But it's still OK to complain a bit...we have that right, too! Will hold good thoughts for you, rose, and you are included in my prayers.

4:04 am

grannyrose

good heavens sprite...i hope you had some lovely down time while they were away.

4:05 am

MimiCat

So you and hubby had some alone time, sprite....was it good or were you too worried about the kids?

4:05 am

sprite

we did, grin. Just the two of us... quite enjoyable. But happy to have them back too.

4:05 am

grannyrose

LOLOL, snap mimi

4:06 am

sprite

nah, didn't worry. We raised them well, they can take care of themselves and they were out with school, so it couldn't be much safer.

4:06 am

MimiCat

I'm going to try to get a bit more sleep. Bye for now and hugs all around.

4:06 am

grannyrose

so glad, sprite. we do so need to have time out with our special people in our life. doesn't mean you love your kids any less..

4:07 am

sprite

no, indeed. I even think it is an important thing to sh4 our kids, that people need to spend time together and invest in their relation.

4:07 am

sprite

bye mimicat

4:07 am

grannyrose

night, mimi, dear. hope you rest/sleep well my dear

4:10 am

sprite

it was a blast seeing them prepare for their trips, ro4. Caya started about a month ago, making li5, telling us what to buy and when to bring her etc. Tim started one day before and had to run upstairs to put his last things in his bag during the evening meal just before leaving, lol. We didn't know if we had to pick him up from Schiphol or not.

4:14 am

grannyrose

lol, sprite...and the battle of the sexes never changes...right?

4:15 am

sprite

absolutely true, lol. Tim is 17 yo now, so I didn't feel like I had to tell him to prepare better. And he went, came back and didn't complain, so I guess it went well without my prodding, lol.

4:16 am

grannyrose

that's the way they learn, sprite. males i mean...all 3 of my sons did the same

4:17 am

sprite

:) where would they be without us, ro4... I bet they'd manage just fine.

4:19 am

grannyrose

lol, sprite. all of my sons wives have told me how they are amazed at how well their menfolk know how to vacuum and clean a toilet.

4:20 am

sprite

yayyyy for education! We are teaching them that as well. Basic survival skills in the jungle of today's world.

4:24 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sprite, i believed that they should know the basic survival skills.

4:25 am

sprite

they should, I fully agree. When they go out in the world, they should be able to take care of themselves.

4:25 am

rbud

there's a way to teach your son how to clean a toilet? wow, I'd be in a state of bliss if I could do that! hi, ladies!

4:25 am

grannyrose

the last 30 in this grid are a really heavy slog

4:25 am

sprite

hiya rbud :) A reward for a job well done is a way.

4:26 am

grannyrose

lol, rbud. hello hun. teach them to brush away the skid marks is a good start.

4:27 am

sprite

working on the Rs now... I bet there's a whole lotta re words.

4:28 am

my son was very near to you the last few days, ruby. He was in Geneva, at CERN.

4:29 am

grannyrose

never too late, rbud....

4:29 am

rbud

ewwwww, re words, yuck!

4:29 am

Hello Everyone--running really late this morning

4:29 am

grannyrose

pugs!!!! cooee hun

4:29 am

sprite

hiya puglet :)

4:30 am

puglet

How is everyone? What a nice big puzzle

4:31 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, pugs. it's really delicious

4:31 am

rubyfoo

4:31 am

sprite

am fine, having lots of fun with the puzzle and the chat, and I even found a new word for the dictionary. erotise - woo sexually

4:31 am

puglet

Howdy Ruby!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

hahah about toilets -- I don't think so; I'm Lucky if my husband puts the seat down on the only one we share (weird house, 2 bedrooms, 5 toilets)

4:32 am

sprite

but a lot of room everywhere, ruby. I love your home.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

ty sprite and at least we have our own bathrooms; I Drew the line there

4:33 am

grannyrose

ruby, try taping the seat down....worked wonders in my household...*giggle*

4:33 am

puglet

I seen on tv they got seats that raises and lowers with the push of a button

4:33 am

sprite

that is a luxury that is very uncommon in the netherlands... most homes have only one bathroom.

4:33 am

sprite

lolol ro4... but didn't you have to clean the seat before sitting down yourself?

4:34 am

rubyfoo

when we bought this house it had 5 bedooms and 3 toilets. The upstairs looked like a rabbit wArren

4:34 am

sprite

that might work, puglet. Males love to push buttons.

4:34 am

rbud

we only have one, and right now there are five guys and only two girls using it - we're outnumbered!

4:35 am

grannyrose

rofl, sprite....he learned VERY quickly, especially after i handed him the mop....

4:35 am

sprite

that is more like our home then, rbud! One bathroom, but we have 2,5 girls and 2 guys using it.

4:35 am

sprite

good job, ro4 :D

4:35 am

rbud

it's amazing if I can find an uninterrupted ten minutes in ours

4:35 am

rubyfoo

who is the .5, terra?

4:35 am

puglet

I always felt bad for my dad--there were six of us girls plus my mom--lol

4:36 am

grannyrose

you need 10 minutes??? oy vey!!

4:36 am

sprite

no, terra is male and he doesn't use the bathroom except when he is really dirty. No, Tim's girlfriend stays over quite a bit here.

4:36 am

rbud

two of the men are only temporary, our daughter's BF's sons, visiting for a few weeks.

4:36 am

sprite

argh rbud, only 10 minutes? You need a lock and earplugs.

4:37 am

rbud

well, g'rose, some things just hadn't ought to be hurried, you know, haha!

4:37 am

grannyrose

hahahaha

4:37 am

sprite

my husband once brought me the telephone while I was taking a shower. Once, you mind. Only once.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

that would call for the death penalty sprite!

4:38 am

sprite

hahaha well I will admit to being very bitchy for a moment.

4:39 am

rubyfoo

you, bitchy, never!

4:39 am

rubyfoo

and I'm off

4:39 am

grannyrose

i had the nicest compliment paid to me today. our receptionist said, in front of my immediate superior, ' rose is always doing something. i never see her sitting down, doing nothing' i was so chuffed.

4:39 am

sprite

*hugs* and enjoy the tour, ruby!

4:39 am

rbud

bye, ruby (((hugs)))

4:39 am

grannyrose

good grief, sprite

4:40 am

puglet

bye Ruby

4:40 am

sprite

oh wow ro4! So very much deserved, and how lovely that it was in front of your superior!

4:40 am

grannyrose

ruby, sweetie, have a good one

4:40 am

puglet

That was a nice comliment Rose

4:40 am

rbud

that *is* nice, g'rose, how sweet to hear!

4:43 am

sprite

looks like we can be reborn, we can reincarnate, but we can't reso4.

4:48 am

puglet

it just showed on the news -someone tied a pitbull to a fence and duct taped his mouth and just left him.He was covered in bites. They think he was used as bait. The poor thing and such a pretty dog too. I hate cruelty to animals.

4:49 am

sprite

omg.... oh pug... am so sad to hear that

4:51 am

puglet

years ago I worked for an animal shelter and its very heartbreaking work

4:52 am

sprite

I don't think I would be able to do that. I'd be in the papers because of killing such a person.

4:53 am

puglet

I just dont understand how people can be so cruel like that

4:54 am

sprite

they must be lacking what makes us human. I mean that.

4:55 am

puglet

I think so too--

I do have plenty of indoor cleaning to do but it's a holiday and therefore forbidden by our country's founders.

7:54 am

Mom

It is wet and gray here. I doubt we will have fireworks.

7:55 am

Anniebrook

The Founding Fathers said "no cleaning" on the 4th

7:55 am

Mom

I like how you think, Scrabs

7:55 am

MollyL

We had some very festive red, white and blue pancakes for breakfast. (Strawberry sauce, blueberries and whipped cream) : )

Annie, it is one of those asterisked items in the Declaration.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Yummy!

7:56 am

Alex and Grace are coming for supper. I have to at least freshen up the bathroom :-)

8:00 am

8:05 am

Scrabbler

I have been seeing lots of newborns in the office in the last 2 wks and I just love them...to look at them and realize that they were just in utero and here they are, breathing, looking around, feeding...the miracles of pregnancy and birth will never cease to amaze me.

Tourists were able to climb up to the precarious perch until 1916, when those privileges were revoked in response to the Black Tom incident. Around 2 a.m. on July 30, Black Tom, once an island in the New York Harbor, was rocked by the explosion of two million tons of war materials such as TNT, black powder, shrapnel and dynamite. The blast was the equivalent of a 5.5-on-the-Richter Scale earthquake; shrapnel flew across the night sky and embedded itself in the Statue of Liberty. Windows shattered as far as 25 miles away.It was later determined that German agents intent on stopping the munitions from getting to their English enemies had ignited the supply. The Statue of Libertyâ€™s torch was closed, partially due to infrastructure damage from the blast and partially just out of concern for terrorism. Itâ€™s been closed ever sinceâ€”but you can still appreciate the view from the top with this TorchCam, installed in 2011.

There is no ve8. vi8 is a liquid found in the eye.

glazed porcelain fired to a very high temp. is vi 8, ruru

3:41 pm

cybernan

3:42 pm

MollyL

vi8...definition...the vi8 The vi8is a thick, transparent substance that fills the center of the eye.

3:43 pm

MollyL

Sorry for the botched editing

3:43 pm

cybernan

I think you are thinking of a different word,molly? -- visc***

3:44 pm

jesdraggon

gonna have to side with molly on this one nan. "Vi8 humor" is the gel part of the eyeball contents...

3:45 pm

jesdraggon

the word you are thinking of can certainly describe the texture of the vi8 though.

3:45 pm

Marjetta

the one you are thinking of Nan is the first one I thought of too. But it tells the density or thickness of any fluid.

3:45 pm

cybernan

but vi 8 means hard, brittle, like glass

3:46 pm

mael

also means the gel-like substance inside the eye

3:47 pm

mael

a substance which I assume is rather visc**** :)

3:51 pm

cybernan

yep -- as in floaters on the eyeball (just looked it up)... vi 8 humour whereas the actual gell substance in the eyeball is aqu**** humour. Had never heard of that before -- always associated it with high-fired pottery, as in vi 8 glazes.

And squits is definitely a word in the UK

6:33 pm

moonwoof

here too lol

6:34 pm

ChrissieDee

Obviosly the same meaning :)

6:36 pm

moonwoof

I wager so. But still. Sooo fickle. According to this I would think they never updated a dictionary

6:37 pm

jesdraggon

squit is not a word i've encountered. what's it mean?

6:38 pm

moonwoof

amusingly, I just looked it up and it's in mirriam-webster

6:38 pm

6:40 pm

welki

6:40 pm

welki

sounds like someone who might tell the truth, jes

6:42 pm

welki

eek - looked it up, it's someone who practices "the artistic preference of contemporary everyday subject matter instead of the heroic or legendary in art and literature; a form of realism"

6:42 pm

jesdraggon

excellent, thanks welki :)

6:43 pm

ChrissieDee

Chat froze for me - UK squits is a bd case of diarrhea

6:43 pm

ChrissieDee

Sorry to lower the tone :D

6:44 pm

moonwoof

oO ok... then not same definition but still something I'd heard and seen before lol

6:45 pm

welki

no apology necessary - i'd bet there are a few of us who were trying to figure out a why to politely say that squits sounds better than what we call it here, sq 7/40!

6:46 pm

ChrissieDee

Yeuch, that is worse

6:48 pm

welki

yep, so any lowering of the tone can now be blamed on me *lol*
