1:37 am

grannyrose

lolol....yeah, right, joso

1:38 am

1:38 am

joso

so you are heading out too fine tune your unruly drunk act

1:40 am

joso

I guess I missed her, don't see her letting that stand without a response if she saw it

1:41 am

sprite

lol you are trying to keep her here. As soon as she notices, she will be able to walk away ;)

1:41 am

joso

:)

1:42 am

joso

maybe I am just getting too transparent in my evil machinations

1:43 am

sprite

yeah... that is never a good thing... evil machinations should be devious.

1:43 am

joso

yeeaa, dats da ticket, sneeeaaakkkkyyy like

1:44 am

sprite

lolol

1:47 am

joso

so how is life in the tulip fields

1:47 am

sprite

all dead by now, I think

1:48 am

sprite

painless halfway with all the Ks accounted for.

1:48 am

joso

so, some what grimm, getting a o-o eye point of view

1:50 am

sprite

just the natural way of life... tulips bloom in spring. Not much left in autumn. And I am luckier than o-o. For me, medication and therapy is working.

1:51 am

joso

you are naturally a much happier person than o-o, of course all living beings are

1:52 am

sprite

most likely because I didn't have to live through the horrible things he had to.

1:55 am

joso

I don't know his story. but I know some of yours, and you allways, allways, are concerned about others

1:55 am

sprite

wanna guess which word was my very first today?

1:56 am

sprite

joso, so is o-o. He spends a lot of his time being there for people in mental and emotional need. Please don't be quick to judge.

1:56 am

joso

i don't think your favorite word is here tonight

1:56 am

sprite

no, it isn't. But I came close.

1:56 am

joso

ok, i'll give him some more rope

1:58 am

lynxxx

Hi Sprite & Joso

1:58 am

sprite

please do. As Haz said recently, he has never made a secret of his mental issues, he has been part of babble for a very long time and within his possibilities, he does what he can for others. There are quite a few 'happier' babblers I cannot say the same things about.

1:58 am

joso

so what was your start tonight

1:58 am

sprite

hiya lyn :) xxx

1:58 am

Haz1558

And hello from me as well.

1:58 am

sprite

sp5/14 and plural of course ;)

1:58 am

joso

hi lynxxx

1:59 am

joso

hey haz

1:59 am

sprite

hi Haz :) Did your ears burn?

1:59 am

Haz1558

Kind of!

1:59 am

lynxxx

Good morning Haz

1:59 am

Haz1558

I was just about to sign in anyway.

1:59 am

sprite

:) All good, I promise.

2:00 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxx, good to see you.

2:00 am

lynxxx

I keep checking out your photos Haz to see idyllic picures of your holiday - ???

2:01 am

Haz1558

I was just going to agree with you. o-o might be a self-confessed curmudgeon and he might be a bit unfiltered at times but he's OUR curmudgeon.

2:01 am

Haz1558

Oh, lynxx, I have to confess that we didn't take many pictures. I should load up the few that we did take.

2:02 am

sprite

I hope you had a lovely time, Haz

2:03 am

Haz1558

We did, it was so pretty (Lake Garda).

2:03 am

lynxxx

terrific . You had a good time? I googled the area and it looked wonderful

2:03 am

sprite

am glad :)

2:03 am

Haz1558

We've been several times before and have always enjoyed it. Verona is the nearest city and it's very walkable.

2:04 am

joso

sounds very nice haz

2:05 am

Haz1558

It's very easy to visit the other towns on the lake either by bus or by ferry. Or you can just sit in a cafe and watch the comings and goings.

2:06 am

sprite

sounds like a perfect holiday

2:06 am

lynxxx

and how did the young man enjoy his 'holiday'?

2:07 am

Haz1558

Dempsey was at a local boarding kennels and he was fine. He's great with other dogs so it seems to have suited him.

2:08 am

lynxxx

good, that makes it all easier.

2:08 am

Haz1558

It's funny, you always have the fear that the dog will be different when you come back but he was just the same as ever. The people who run the boarding kennels also do his grooming so he was booked in for his cut and blow dry at the same time and emerged looking wonderful.

2:09 am

lynxxx

lots of 'almost' words in this grid

2:09 am

sprite

yeah. We are definitely one E short.

2:10 am

lynxxx

probably wondering why it took so long to get his haircut this time

2:11 am

Haz1558

I know! It would be interesting to know their thought processes.

2:11 am

sprite

lol... oh I can picture it. Those question ma5 over his head, looking at the people and thinking: you were way faster last time...

2:12 am

lynxxx

next time he goes in for grooming he'll be expecting you to pack his overnight bag

2:13 am

Haz1558

Husband keeps reassuring me that dogs live in the moment and have no sense of time. I think he just tells me that to make me feel better.

2:14 am

Haz1558

Talking of overnight bags, I have a friend who has discovered a mouse in her house. She's terrified and announced to her husband, semi-jokingly, that they should move to a hotel until the thing was caught. She later found her 4 year-old had packed her little bag with pants and vest and pyjamas.

2:14 am

sprite

Terra definitely seems to know when it is time for dinner

2:14 am

sprite

awwww that is so sweet!

2:14 am

Haz1558

It just shows how much children listen in!

2:14 am

lynxxx

very cute

2:15 am

sprite

they do. We have a dutch saying that goes something like: little pots have big ea4.

2:16 am

lynxxx

not only a dutch saying

2:16 am

sprite

ah nice :) Always fun to see which sayings are the same in both languages

2:34 am

Soodle

Speaking of language.... The air here is blue. The last working hair dryer in this house just gave up the ghost. I have a big meeting this morning...i hope the Bed-head look is acceptable... :-(

2:35 am

sprite

aw poor Soodle *hugs* Go for fashionably messy

2:35 am

Haz1558

Hello, Soodle. I reckon anything goes these days.

2:35 am

lynxxx

or creative headscarves?

2:36 am

Soodle

Delete the 'fashionably' & you have me...

2:36 am

Haz1558

You don't have any neighbours with suitable wigs?

2:37 am

Soodle

Gosh Lynn, I wouldn't know where to start with a scarf!

2:37 am

Haz1558

Although I'd draw the line at some of those toupees.

2:37 am

Soodle

My daughter has a very blonde wig left over after Halloween. I wonder......

2:38 am

Haz1558

There you go - problem solved.

2:38 am

lynxxx

google 14 Headwraps

2:39 am

lynxxx

(although I would kill to look like that young lady)

2:39 am

Haz1558

If you killed her, you could practise the headwraps in jail. Plenty of time on your hands...

2:43 am

lynxxx

You know when I was having chemo I lost amost of my hair...I have since found out no-one noticed (even husband and kids - let alone work friends) ...and strangely no-one commented on the headscarves I was wearing everyday for about 3 months.

2:43 am

lynxxx

..not even...

2:43 am

Haz1558

I was wondering if the headscarf idea was because you had resorted to them when you were ill.

2:44 am

lynxxx

no - my daughter had stumbed accross that clip recently

2:47 am

Soodle

Thanks for the tip Lynn. But I'm going to take the lazy way out. I'll pop in for a wash n blow dry en route to Dublin. Unexpected expense, but justified in the circumstances.

2:47 am

lynxxx

Job interview?

2:48 am

Haz1558

If you need the confidence, go for it, Soodle.

2:49 am

sprite

absolutely. If you feel your hair looks good, you feel better

2:49 am

Soodle

No, just a meeting with some pretty intimidating people. I'm a craven coward at the best of times, but with bad hair, I'd be a pushover!

2:50 am

sprite

wow lyn... so many styles and the lady looks beautiful in all of them. How odd that people didn't notice you losing your hair. You must have been looking pretty with the shawls.

2:50 am

Haz1558

Nobody can do the back of your hair like a hairdresser so for all round confidence you're right to go that route.

2:56 am

Soodle

I owe, I owe, so it's off to work I go! Have a great day/evening all. Bye.

2:57 am

lynxxx

I know you will have a successful meeting Soodle so enjoy the day

2:57 am

Haz1558

Bye, Soodle, hope today goes well.

2:58 am

sprite

good luck today, Soodle.

2:59 am

sprite

I am off too, must take the car to the garage. I hope it starts! back later. Bye all, have a lovely day/peaceful evening. *hugs*

3:00 am

Haz1558

Bye, sprite. All the best with the car.

3:00 am

lynxxx

Bye Sprite - hope it a cheap fix

3:38 am

worzel

Not so bad, still in bed recovering from an op, but this game really keeps me going! Half way through, and only been playing about 30 mins - being as I'm quite bad at this game I think that's good going lol. How are you? xx

3:40 am

gapeach

I'm dealing with the cold weather....my joints just don't like it. Otherwise, I'm OK. How long do you think you will have to stay quiet for the recovery?

3:42 am

worzel

To be fair I've had a gangrenpous appendix removed - about 2 weeks ago. Been up and about on the odd occasion but still got a bit of discomfort. Got an open wound because they had to go in via my tummy which was poisoned and have an open wound but should be perfect within next 6 weeks, fingers crossed. Hope the cold isn't too bad for you xx

3:45 am

worzel

haha you've got me going now - can't stop looking for the flipping al6/30!!!!

3:46 am

gapeach

Oh, my dear! What a bummer. But you got there in time and that is what matters. I had mine removed when I had the hysterectomy.....doctor asked if I'd ever had an attack and I said "no"....he then said mine was scarred so I had to have had an attack at some time. I'm so glad you are on your way to good health.

3:46 am

worzel

tyvm peach. What part of US are you in? Im in northern UK x

3:47 am

gapeach

I live in Augusta, GA....about 3 hours south of Atlanta.

3:47 am

worzel

GA is Georgia isn't it?

3:48 am

gapeach

I think that al6 may start with alk.....I'm looking at the dictionary. Oh, yes, it is Georgia.

3:50 am

worzel

See, my knowledge of US areas is quite poor - I thought Georgia was always warm lol. Always think of South US as warm, but I guess all areas have their cold spells. Have only been to Florida and NY both in summertime. Would love to visit Georgia though - and Texas, and, obviously, do the whole Route 66 thing (before i get too old!!)

3:52 am

gapeach

worsel, it really isn't all that cold now.....supposed to freeze tonight, but usually it doesn't get as cold as New England. I lived in the north for 7 years and thought I'd never get through the first winter....am so glad to be back south.

3:54 am

zoozzoom

Peach you are correct with what the first three AL6 start with then add i am not dead but still ***ve.

3:54 am

worzel

We never seem to get it too bad in UK either, usually around end of December through to end of March we have a winter of sorts - usually around zero at night, bit of snow on occasion, some frosts, but nothing compared to some countries - but still we moan lol.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

Then single plural for AL7...then add double pural for the AL9

3:55 am

gapeach

Oh, thanks so much, zoozaoom.

3:55 am

worzel

oh good grief thanks zoo lol that is SUCH an obvious word, too!!!!

3:56 am

zoozzoom

You are welcome :-)

3:56 am

gapeach

worsel, zoozzoom just gave us the clues. Do you have them?

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Although it is thanks to you twoo as wel...as i did not look for it untill you asked for it..lol

3:57 am

worzel

3:57 am

zoozzoom

3:58 am

gapeach

Tea just seems to make things better, doesn't it?

3:59 am

zoozzoom

4:01 am

rubyfoo

4:01 am

rubyfoo

Good morning, Ruby.

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Blue sky but chilly 6.2c at the moment.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

4:02 am

zoozzoom

That is good to hear, Ruby :-)

4:03 am

rubyfoo

how cold does it get at night, zzoozz. Here it is about 4C at 11PM when I take the pups out

4:03 am

zoozzoom

It is about the same, Ruby, so not too bad.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Although i do hate the cold weather with a passion :-)

4:05 am

rubyfoo

there are still many flowers

4:06 am

worzel

4:06 am

zoozzoom

My fuchsias still have many flowers on them.

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Any biscuits to go with it, Worzel :-)

4:08 am

worzel

No Zoo, may have some toast and Marmite in a bit. We have quite cold weather here in Liverpool, too but still loads of flowers in the garden! We even have a tomato plant growing!!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

hi worzel, sorry to hear about your appendix but glad that it was caught in time

4:08 am

worzel

Hi Ruby and ty. Yes, I was in pain for abt 4 days centre of my tummy - I thought it was trapped wind. I guess I was lucky really

4:09 am

zoozzoom

OMG! i love marmite on buttered toast yum yum.

4:09 am

gapeach

Wow, zooz, they surely are hardy.

4:09 am

worzel

I'll send some toast and Marmite over to you zoo lol

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Have been lucky so far, Peach, No frost..when that happens that will be the end of them..i bought about 20 plants this year some are hardy and others are not..i cannot remember which ones are the hardy ones..lol

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Teehee cheers, Worzel..although it would be easier for me just to make my own..lol

4:12 am

worzel

Zoo I was checking the Liverpool weather online last night - apparently next Wednesday the daytime high will be 5 degrees!!! Yikes, here comes winter!!!

4:12 am

zoozzoom

I think the ones with the extra large flower heads are the non hardy ones.

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Not god news...i hope it does not sink down to here..lol

4:13 am

zoozzoom

good*

4:13 am

worzel

what part you in zoo?

4:13 am

rubyfoo

do you have te Gulf Stream near you zzoozz?

4:13 am

zoozzoom

It is on my icon, Worzel, But it is the Isle of Wight.

4:14 am

gapeach

Better get your woolies out for sure.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Yes, Ruby, Thats what stops us getting extreme cold weather.

4:14 am

gapeach

zooz, is that where the Bee-Gees lived?

4:14 am

worzel

yeah sorry Zoo just checked that. Went to the IOW when I was 5 during the heatwave of 76 and again in 2003 (another hot summer). It is SO beautiful there I just didn't want to come home!

4:15 am

rubyfoo

we are at the mercy of the mountains

4:15 am

zoozzoom

76 wow i remember that heatwave...i was a teenager then..and lived in Oxford at that time too.

4:16 am

worzel

Not been to Oxford - been to Thame, nearby. Another beautiful part of UK. Id love to see the scenery around the world, but we are blessed in the UK if we did but know it!!

4:17 am

zoozzoom

I remember you saying, Ruby, Must always be cold in the winter up there..i recall you saying there is snow lying above you further up the mountains too..yuk.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

but it's much warmer and there's much less snow than 15 yrs ago when we moved here

4:18 am

zoozzoom

I think one of the Bee Es does live in or near Oxford, Yes, Peach, i am sure of it.

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Gees..bloody keypad.

4:19 am

worzel

Zoo you're talking about Robin - that was why I went to Thame as I knew him and was visiting him and his wife Dwina!!

4:20 am

gapeach

Barry is the only one left.....he is still touring....has a home in Florida too. I really admire him.....it has been so rough for him.

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Yes that's right, Worzel, wow did not know you knew them.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

one of the bee gees lived next to my husband in Miami Beach before we were married, but he had never heard of them!!

4:22 am

zoozzoom

I agree, Peach, it does not seem that long ago when they al started out...i do not remember that bit as i am too young..but time does fly by too quickly.

4:22 am

worzel

Well, I didn't know them all, but was in Thame many years ago and walked past this beautiful house and Robin was in the garden. Have been a fan all my life and couldn't help but stop and talk and he invited me in for a cup of tea! We exchanged xmas cards each year and I asked if i could visit him again one day and he invited me around! A beautiful man, very sadly missed

4:22 am

rubyfoo

that is a lovely story, worzel

4:23 am

gapeach

I've really enjoyed chatting with you all, but I need to try to get some sleep. It's 5:30AM here. Hope to see you all again later in the day.

4:23 am

zoozzoom

That is very nice, Worzel, It is nice to know fame did not swell his head.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Hope you have a sweet sleep, Peach, Nice chatting to you too :-)

4:24 am

worzel

4:25 am

6:02 am

joso

hi all

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

6:06 am

joso

hi scrab

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Hi joso. I was in Canada 2 weeks ago, hiking in the Niagara Gorge and then lunch at Niagara-on-the-Lake.

6:09 am

joso

nice area to be in

6:10 am

joso

I honeymooned at Niagara on the lake

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Yes, we hiked right down to the river, and we were just north of the falls, and it was stunning.

6:13 am

joso

they are something to see

6:16 am

joso

TK lives in the area, I wonder if the views are ho hum to her

6:17 am

Scrabbler

I live outside of Buffalo and grew up here. EVERY time I see the Falls I am amazed. In fact, I am more interested in the geology and history more now.

6:24 am

joso

I find our history kind of dull. war of 1812 was really small potatoes, the revolutionary war almost a comedy of errors, 90% by the British. your civil war is interesting, but kind of done to death. WW I & II are interesting, but fought elsewhere. I'd like to know more about the native history, but available information is so sketchy

6:25 am

joso

long stretches of peace make a great place to live, but a dull story

6:25 am

Scrabbler

I work at a Seneca Nation Health Center one day weekly and have learned a lot. It is like going on a field trip every week when I go to the reservation.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Some folks here have relatives at the Six Nations Reservation in Ontario.

6:28 am

joso

I would love to know more about the six nations federation and how it worked, but the most detailed info is about their dealings with Europeans, and it's a depressing story.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Yes, the Native North Americans were certainly squashed by invading Europeans.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

And I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

6:31 am

joso

and they often worked with us, only to be betrayed latter on, so sad.

6:31 am

joso

have a good day scrab

6:33 am

crosshair

joso,one of our babbler,carlee,specialized in first nation culture and history as part of the teaching degree she just finished.you should chat with her sometime

6:52 am

crosshair

but always remember.history is often skewed as it is almost always written by the victors :(

6:59 am

joso

true, and there is more to history than just the wars. but if you look at the Napoleonic wars you can determine what each nation was doing and why, but you look at the Aztecs and the details are lost.

7:00 am

7:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

food without carne is not a word?

7:11 am

mael

I still claim that format6/30 + le4/4 is totally a word

7:11 am

joso

you may be right, makes no difference to enable

7:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

I guess a grid with so many words that enable will disallow whatever it will

7:12 am

mael

enable does what enable wants to do

7:13 am

adios all, happy babbling *poof*

Oh, I'm sorry, peri. It must have been hard for you.

7:40 am

it was but I could see that she was suffering.

7:40 am

Well, for most people that is the signal that the time has come to let go.

7:47 am

periwinkle

thanks,hurshy. I am missing her terribly.

7:48 am

hurshy

i can imagine

7:48 am

mael

I'm really sorry, peri. Take care of yourself.

7:50 am

hurshy

on the other end of the spectrum, one of my friends is in labor now - she was supposed to be induced starting about an hour and 20 mins ago

7:50 am

periwinkle

bl

7:51 am

hurshy

(((peri)))

7:52 am

mael

good luck to your friend, hurshy!

7:52 am

hurshy

how does it go? in the midst of life, we are in death

7:53 am

hurshy

thanks mael. i hope it goes well. i just looked up to see and found a study saying that induced labors take much longer on average. :(

7:57 am

mael

why are they inducing her? is she overdue or is there another medical reason?

7:58 am

hurshy

she was only due 8 days ago so *i* think that wouldn't be enough reason but modern doctors... but then i guess also she started having contractions last night, and i don't know if they aren't progressing, or what. or maybe they started after the decision to induce and maybe that will mean they don't have to do as much to her after all. guess i'll find out after it is over.

8:01 am

mael

I'm mostly curious cause it's my turn in four months and change and labor fr6/39 me out :)

8:01 am

wvteach

halfway, NBT and NBS - time to go out for the morning - BBL this afternoon

8:02 am

hurshy

well, me, for someone who hasn't had kids and doesn't really plan to, i've actually read a lot about it. and the US doesn't have the best track record. so i have read about what the better ones do differently and so forth (europe). and it seems to me that if i were having a baby i would insist upon not being messed with before 2 weeks overdue.

8:03 am

hurshy

i mean unless something was like, really wrong with the baby or something and they had to get it out. but not in a like, hey, why isn't it out yet situation.

8:04 am

hurshy

in most normal situations seems like midwives are really a better way to go than doctors. doctors overreact and overtreat.

8:04 am

BzznBea

I agree with you, hurshy.

8:04 am

BzznBea

mael, just talk with your ob and have a birth plan.

8:05 am

mael

I plan too, I'm just not the kind of person who deals very well with uncontrollable situations. Welcome to parenthood for me, I guess! ;)

8:06 am

hurshy

i have one friend with 4 daughters who says her "birth plans" all went out the window, so yeah, uncontrollable is the name of the game

8:07 am

Haz1558

I was just going to say, have a birth plan but be prepared to be adaptable according to circumstances.

8:07 am

BzznBea

As a parent, you will get better with dealing with uncontrollable situations.

8:07 am

72 Temple Owl

hi haz!

8:08 am

mael

oh yeah, definitely no plans to stick to "the plan," as long as baby shows up safe I'll be okay with them doing whatever they need to do.

8:08 am

Haz1558

Hello, TO!

8:08 am

BzznBea

My daughter's birth plan was very simple.

8:08 am

72 Temple Owl

i am having a new roof, and here i sit on the second floor with banging and footsteps.

8:09 am

hurshy

but mael, also know that my sister had a plan and it went beautifully according to plan, had very short labors, including the first, after which she said, "i've had headaches worse than that!" - so, you may get that!

8:10 am

72 Temple Owl

oh, conrats mael and hoping it goes as you plan.

8:12 am

hurshy

ps no, she's not even a migraine sufferer

8:13 am

BzznBea

Why is every word I am entering already entered? Too many words hiding in this one.

8:13 am

hurshy

but yay for a big grid!

8:15 am

mael

thanks, TO! we're excited

8:15 am

hurshy

do you know if it is a boy or a girl?

Haz, has hubby ever administered to a bactrian?

8:39 am

RoundBarn

mael, let the child wear pink with a blue cap or vice versa--confuse everybody. My first was a student midwife in England, perfect delivery. 2nd was charity at Boston Lying in, they knocked me out and I never knew what happened. I think forceps--but she was fine. third, Grace New Haven, natural, no anasthetic. Fine. Fourth, cleveland, no anesthetic, fine. All girls, all fine. All beautiful. And I felt great afterward--could do it all over again right away had I had to!

8:39 am

Haz1558

Not as far as I know.

8:40 am

Haz1558

The vets do sweat a bit when the circus is in town lest they be called upon to visit a poorly elephant or something.

8:41 am

Haz1558

And he is booked again to examine Santa's reindeer when they come to town. They have to be examined before they're sent back to Scotland having done their tour of the local town centres.

8:42 am

RoundBarn

Gotta get to work. I'm birthing books these days, harder work. Grid too big and tempting. Peri, my cats lived to 21, but what a wrench to lose them. So, sorrow.

8:42 am

Wow. Impressive.

8:43 am

Haz1558

It's basically to make sure that they're healthy for travelling.

8:45 am

8:56 am

hurshy

you do have to watch those elephants. i read about a man who DIED after a constipated elephant who had been treated finally ... let it go ... and he suffocated in the dung. NOT anyone's choice of how to die.

8:57 am

Haz1558

No, that would have to be the understatement of the year.

8:58 am

hurshy

i mean i love elephants and all but...

Hello, everyone! I had to make an emergency trip to my cardiologist...I am officially back in afib and was out of breath just walking from couch to kitchen and feeling like I was going to pass out even sitting. So....back on medications...unhappy...but alive.

I hope it can be as painless as possible for you.

With my twisted brain, all I could envision was me having a stroke, dying and my 3 cats having to eat me!! Yeah...like I said...twisted.

6:04 pm

Thanks, Volta, dear. It doesn't really hurt at this stage but it's very disconcerting to literally feel your heart pounding in your chest and feeling like you may lose consciousness at any time.

6:05 pm

Only stop meds if dr says.bad mimi:-(

That sounds like a horrible feeling :-( *hug* let's all keep our fingers crossed for the best possible outcome
