nan, iz4
1:34 am
rururocks
I thought women's pants had zippers too
1:34 am
jillibus
mine have elastic waists because of my copious measurement
1:35 am
grannyrose
nah, ruru, the curlies get caught in them...we got more sense than men
1:35 am
rururocks
OH. man>. I have to tie my fingers up
1:36 am
grannyrose
what??? jilli??? no elastic in the legs??? oh, dear, the mind pictures are torture
1:38 am
jillibus
elastic in the legs? why would anyone have elastic in the legs of pants? What torture? <-- confused
1:39 am
grannyrose
not to let them all fall out jilli...don't know about you, but the belly and the boobies are all going south
1:40 am
jillibus
speaking of legs, it seems I have some cellulitis in my right oen -- spent about 2½ hpurs in the ER this afternoon/evening getting diagnosed. On antibiotics now.
1:41 am
rururocks
Boobies Like the birds?
1:41 am
grannyrose
awww, jilli. did they give you some tubigrip. a sort of elasticised bandage to help with drainage of fluid?
1:41 am
jillibus
how about a clue for the fr8?
1:41 am
rururocks
I have never seen that fr 8 before
1:42 am
grannyrose
and of course, you have your leg elevated, don't you dear?
1:42 am
jillibus
no rose, just the antibiotics -- it's not very bothersome, just swelling and a bit of reness -- very early stage I guess.
1:42 am
cybernan
more dowdy (I think)
1:42 am
grannyrose
alternative spelling of frowzy, then more so
1:42 am
rururocks
fr (women in german with a different vowel) + more so ending with the big point tile
1:42 am
jillibus
and they said nothing about elevating the leg.
1:43 am
grannyrose
aagghhh...jilli, please elevate, at least have your foot at the same height as your hip.
1:44 am
jillibus
I will rose.
1:44 am

2:29 am
Jackanory
Will be thinking of you tomorrow
2:29 am
grannyrose
yay, you, jack...was it in a good cause, or are you trying to prove a point?
2:30 am
grannyrose
ummm, that didn't come out right.
2:30 am
Jackanory
No points, apart from trying to beat my own times. Have done 9 now and walk with a friend so it's fun. Gives me something to keep fit for
2:31 am
grannyrose
*hoping jack gets the thought behind the question *

Absolutely

2:36 am
grannyrose

2:41 am
puglet
no its not evil taking some me time Sprite--you must of needed it--so do you feel better
2:41 am
Jackanory
Haven't tried myself but heard about flicking the underside of big toe to relieve migraine. here's a reflexology link. Might be worth a try ... http://www.wholesomeone.com/article/re\nflex-points-migraine-relief
2:41 am
sprite
I do, pug! Missed seeing you guys, but the sleep was lovely and I do have more energy now.
2:42 am
puglet
did you go to service today Rose
2:42 am
grannyrose
yes, sprite...and SIL is still running around after her. meanwhile don and i have changed her bed linen and washed everything i couls lay my hands on.
2:42 am
sprite
Reflexology is a smart move for migraines. Can't have anyone touch the head, but the feet are usually ok.
2:42 am
puglet
I will give it a look Jack--thanks
2:43 am
sprite
you worked way too hard, rose, but I am glad she is still in hospital and SIL got the freakin' message. How are you holding up?
2:43 am
grannyrose
pugs, first sunday of advent. was lovely. we lit the first advent candle.
2:43 am
Jackanory
yw, not fun ...
2:44 am
sprite
Jack, maybe for future reference... if you post a long URL in chat, the chat column becomes too wide. Maybe if you wouldn't mind, you could make it smaller with TinyURL or something like that, next time?
2:44 am
puglet
how long does advent last
2:44 am
sprite
oh my, are we into the advent already? Xmas coming up, sigh.
2:45 am
grannyrose
til christmas, pugs

2:47 am
grannyrose

grannyrose

2:52 am
Lizlin
Often turns up Monday morning.
2:52 am
sprite
wowwww rose. You totally rock. *hugs*
2:52 am
grannyrose
liz, list in volleymomdee's profile
2:52 am
sprite
ah good, Liz. Didn't know that.
2:52 am
Lizlin
Wow Rose. With everything else to think of.
2:53 am
grannyrose
i am guessing i need to confirm all the family birthdays. and buy the cards to send...
2:53 am
Lizlin
Yes but that's harder when I use my iPad, which I am now. Feeling lazy after very late night last night!
2:53 am
sprite
lazy is good, Liz, especially in weekends :)
2:54 am
sprite
rose, only if you want to. You decide. But it sounds like a fun job.
2:54 am
Lizlin
Have all birthdays in my computer, with different reminders depending on whether they're overseas or in Aus.
2:55 am
grannyrose
sprite, as matriarch * a description i really need to slap my cousin for * it is a necessary duty...
2:55 am
sprite
wow that is practical, Liz
2:55 am
sprite
actually, it only is if you decide you accept it, rose.
2:56 am
grannyrose
hmmmm, going to ask don how i do that. plenty of time over the next 6 weeks.
2:56 am
Lizlin
Necessary because especially now, some of the dates aren't high on my mind!
2:56 am
sprite
I think I am gonna do it too. Thanks Liz.
2:57 am
sprite
how is our pug? You are very quiet... are the meds starting to kick in or no joy?
2:57 am
grannyrose
sprite, don has lots of reminders on his computer calender.
2:57 am
Lizlin
Ya. I always check my computer, so it's a good system for me.
2:57 am
puglet
Iam not good on remembering dates at all
2:57 am
puglet
a bit I think
2:58 am
sprite
I think I can even find a proggy that does the work for me
2:58 am
sprite
I hope they will do more than a bit very soon, pug *hugs*
2:58 am
Lizlin
My computer is also synced with my iPad and phone so highly tech and a great system. Also use it for appointments.
2:59 am
grannyrose
i have a written calendar...but that relies on me checking it. at least on the computer i can have reminders a few days in advance.
2:59 am
puglet
thanks Sprite, Iam sure they will--its just a waiting game right now-lol
2:59 am
sprite
*gently holds pug's hand while waiting*
2:59 am
Lizlin
Exactly and once entered you tell the computer that the date recurs yearly. So don't have to redo it every year.
3:00 am
grannyrose
sounds like my kind of reminder...lolol
3:00 am
sprite
same here, rose. Ours is in the toilet. But I have to remember, after seeing the date and names, to take action when I go back to my room. I like the idea of the computerized calender.
3:02 am
puglet
My sister loves making cards and because Iam so bad at remembering dates, I had her make me a yearly card with all the holidays on it and b-days and ann.---I sent them out the first of the year and had it all covered in just one card--lol
3:02 am
Lizlin
Time for dinner soon so hugs to all. Feel better pugs, good luck tomorrow Rose.

4:13 am
puglet
oh good then, I got my farewell in ahead of time then-lol
4:14 am
Jojodownunder
Liz are you on, its Jo!
4:14 am
puglet
I dont so far(knock on wood)
4:14 am
grannyrose
pugs, i am on the operating table in about 10 hours.
4:14 am
Lizlin
Just came back, Jo!
4:14 am
Lizlin
Pugs and Rose, Joodownunder is a good friend of mine. Told her about babble last night!
4:15 am
puglet
Its creeping closer and closer
4:15 am
Jojodownunder
okay so do I physically type the word in 'Add Word' or can you click on letters to make the words?
4:15 am
grannyrose
whoot, welcome joodownunder
4:15 am
puglet
Hi Jo, nice to meet you and to have you join us
4:15 am
Lizlin
Type the word into Add Word and then it will appear in the My word list.
4:15 am
Jojodownunder
G'day, nice to meet you too
4:16 am
Lizlin
Told you they were a friendly bunch!
4:16 am
Jojodownunder
Would be easier to just click on the yellow letters wouldn't it? Must've been a man who designed it!
4:16 am
Jojodownunder
Uh Oh, something else to spend my time doing when I should be ironing or scrubbing floors or something like!
4:16 am
grannyrose
jojo, i just type in the words, then hit enter
4:17 am
Lizlin
Good idea - but no, type in the word. Occasionally auto correct will find you a word you've missed too!
4:17 am
Jojodownunder
okay, I will give it a go Ladies
4:17 am
puglet
well you get to pratice typing and spelling--lol
4:17 am
Lizlin
Like I should've cleaned the house this morning but was too tired after last night!
4:17 am
Jojodownunder
any other tips
4:18 am
Lizlin
Usually Lickety provides a list - Look in the yellow box where it says Friends of Babble but he sometimes misses out at weekends. His list helps because it's alphabetical and shows where you've missed words.
4:18 am
Jojodownunder
Me too, good night hah? A late one for us! Just had a lovely night walk around, its so lovely tonight.
4:18 am
grannyrose
lol...exactly jojo...and when you realise you have no conscience re chores..you are a babble addict...and welcome to my world
4:19 am
Jojodownunder
I am already a words with friends addict on fb!
4:19 am
Lizlin
It was a really good night - so much laughter!
4:19 am
Lizlin
And I've also become an addict and made lots of good friends.
4:19 am
Jojodownunder
Yes, good food and good company.
4:19 am
Jojodownunder
How was the party in the park today Liz?
4:19 am
Lizlin
BTW Rose, I saw just before that you cleared up my relationship with Rolin! My hubby's ex!
4:19 am
puglet
My day is screwed up if I miss this and my chat with friends here in the morn--lol
4:20 am
Jojodownunder
What time is it there in USA Puglet?
4:20 am
Lizlin
Went on Thurs night Jo. It was OK - glad to be there but it needs revamping.
4:20 am
grannyrose
yeah, as pugs says...our chat here gives our lives a stability.
4:20 am
puglet
its 5:20 am
4:20 am
Jojodownunder
Do I have an Aussie flag next to my name too?
4:21 am
grannyrose
yup, liz...hope i didn't offend anyone.
4:21 am
Jojodownunder
5:20 am, oh gosh, you are an addict!
4:21 am
grannyrose
not yet jojo...
4:21 am
puglet
Ive been on since about 1:30am
4:21 am
Lizlin
Only other thing I'd mention Jo, is that there are often weird words in the grid, we call babblers. Only ever used in babble! It's based on a weird dictionary called enable - accepts abbreviations, hebrew letters often, Italian etc etc.
4:21 am
Jojodownunder
no flag for me? do I need to pass initiation with you girls first?
4:22 am
Lizlin
Course you didn't offend me, Rose. You should've asked if you weren't sure.
4:22 am
grannyrose
ohoh...didn't realise the time...going to get meds.
4:23 am
Lizlin
If you've paid the subscription Jo, you go into My account and personalise it with an icon (photo, cartoon or whatever) and choose your flag.
4:23 am
Lizlin
At the moment you just seen a grey icon and your name.
4:23 am
puglet
could I kindly have a clue for the ra6/27 please
4:23 am
Jojodownunder
okay, well my other half will be dropping hints if I am sat here too long so I am afraid my visits will be short and sweet .. do you play in between the chats then cos I have had no chance to play yet!
4:24 am
Lizlin
Sorry pugs - one of the 19 I don't have. Missing 5 x 6 letter words.
4:24 am
Jojodownunder
ra6/27, please explain to the newbie!
4:24 am
Lizlin
Yes, you get used to multi tasking.
4:25 am
Lizlin
6 letter word beginning with ra. Points value 27. 4 letters score straight, 5 letters x 2; 6 letters x 3 etc.
4:25 am
Lizlin
So ra 6 / 27 the face value of the tiles is 9.
4:25 am
puglet
sometimes I dont get a word for 30 minutes or so because of talking LOL
4:25 am
Jojodownunder
okay .. I think! so do you just type away until you find a word that fits? Is it an American game so do we have to adjust spelling?
4:26 am
Lizlin
Accepts UK and US spellings.
4:26 am
Lizlin
The tile stats at the bottom tell you how many words come from each letter.

Lizlin
Yes, pugs. Both of us live on the Gold Coast.
4:28 am
Lizlin

Liz, before it happens you might tell her of the red boxes when babble resets
4:29 am
Lizlin
Of course! Pugs, Jo's another Brit. We met through a mutual friend.
4:30 am
Lizlin
Sometimes (at 6.15 our time and at some other time) the grid resets and you get red boxes of doom! You can't enter words or chat for a few minutes. But then it sorts itself.
4:30 am
Jojodownunder
Ian and I going to see The Paul Potts film in the morning Liz at Arts Centre if you are interested.

hi ruby, hi crossy
7:00 am
crosshair
howdy,bojazz
7:01 am
bojazz
hope the dental thing wasn't as bad as anticipated...
7:02 am
rubyfoo
hello bojazz, v nice to see you
7:03 am
rubyfoo
nice, 61, nbt and nbs
7:05 am
rubyfoo
and now, the fire beckons
7:05 am
rubyfoo
it is really cold here!
7:08 am
bojazz
fire, sounds good! enjoy
7:08 am
crosshair
right at the freezing mark here,so milder than it has been
7:13 am
crosshair
dental is still ongoing,bojazz,they dug,they scraped,they chipped,they gouged,they excised infection from the gums.now they have me on antibiotics till i see him again next week to determine if the poison in my gums has attacked the tooth nerves from below the gum line
7:15 am
bojazz
wow! well I hope there is positive progress and that there is no poison. sounds quite severe and NO fun at all...
7:17 am
crosshair
it does however do a fine job of expressing to me the great import of correct flossing. a Water Pik machi9ne is now high on my list of things to buy once this is all over
7:19 am
crosshair
no,no fun at all. crossy has a touch of dentist phobia. 3 of them have to come at me very gently like they are dealing with a bear with a thorn in its paw
7:20 am
crosshair
they think i do not notice how they always pick the prettiest dental assistant to run the suction machine to try and distract me lol
7:24 am
bichon
crossy, this sounds awful
7:25 am
crosshair
sigh...my own fault.plaque tartar build up gets in there works its way under the gum line like a splinter and infection sets in
7:27 am
crosshair
at least they only had to peel back the gums in one spot..so far
7:28 am
bichon
we are ardent flossers an we use an Oral B Floss Head attachments with an Interspace attachment
7:28 am
crosshair
very good.have you used a water pik?
7:28 am
bichon
I have in the past, but I prefer the Floss Head attachments
7:29 am
crosshair
i do not know those?
7:30 am
Mubner
Costco has a pretty nifty Air Flosser.
7:31 am
crosshair
so many choices.i shall have to explore them all
7:32 am
o-o
fine sandpaper and a sandblaster provide excellent results .... and have the benefit of helping one say on a diet.
7:33 am
crosshair
i think i will pass on that o-o
7:33 am
bichon
I also have a Sulko brush which gets down on the gumline
7:34 am
crosshair
i want something simple and easy to use or i will end up using it for a week and stopping otherwise
7:40 am
crosshair
mm.after a quick exploration across the interwebs,the water pik is in the lead
7:44 am
o-o
using a drill to manipulate brush picks can give you shocking results
7:44 am
crosshair
i just got a sudden urge for some Wensleydale cheese and some nice crackers to go with it....
7:45 am
o-o
I keep lots of super glue handy
7:45 am
crosshair
na..glue and crackers? i will pass
7:46 am
o-o
No sense of adventure ...
7:46 am
crosshair
i know,i find what i like and stay with it, though i did have some wonderful calamari just before my dental adventures began:)
7:48 am
crosshair
though this morning,sadly,it is looking like soft foods again as i must of slept wrong and the left side of my face is all puffed out again
7:48 am
o-o
No doubt bacon overload precipitated the dental misadventures.
7:49 am
crosshair
well,only if a spear of overly crisp bacon descended below the gumline,but it is possible lol
7:50 am
crosshair
maybe it was a case of not enough bacon! i have heard that bacon can remove tartar. i shall have to explore this once i can eat properly again:)
7:51 am
o-o
Could be. I read bacon is good for cleaning car battery terminals
7:52 am
crosshair
waste of good bacon.just keep a bit of steel wool handy
7:53 am
o-o
Raw bacon and a coke or pepsi
7:53 am
crosshair
for the battery terminals that is.not for removing tartar from your teeth..though it may work
7:53 am
crosshair
well,coke and pepsi is just shy of being battery acid itself
7:54 am
crosshair
mountain dew is the worst however
7:54 am

Good day to all.

8:26 am
72 Temple Owl
i have not seen many lately. i am wondering if the colony got too big and they left?

They must be around, Owl, unless raptors have gobbled them up.
8:29 am
Aloyisius
or coyotes
8:29 am
72 Temple Owl
do they hibernate?
8:29 am
Scrabbler
No, rabbits do not hibernate.
8:30 am
72 Temple Owl
no coyotes in this immediate area. hawks, always.
8:30 am
72 Temple Owl
i dont think there are enough hawks in all of the state to thin them out.
8:32 am
Aloyisius
lol, found a ca4 fish
8:32 am
72 Temple Owl
i woke up yesterday to find a car parked over a foot from the curb and 1/3 the way over my driveway. it was not moved until after 2pm. held hostage.
8:32 am
Aloyisius
how inconsiderate
8:33 am
Aloyisius
sounds like an tipsy parker
8:33 am
mael
In similar situations I have called the cops to have them towed, TO
8:33 am
72 Temple Owl
when the perpetrator came out i expressed my displeasure. he actually went wround to the passenger side and LOOKED at the car as if to see if I could have made it out around him.
8:33 am
mael
it happens a lot across our driveway (sometimes people even... park across our driveway as if it were a parking spot)
8:34 am
Scrabbler
No apology, Owl?

8:49 am
Aloyisius
do bunnies shed?
8:50 am
Scrabbler
Yes, they do, Aloy. Then I brush the bunnies. That reminds me, I need to trim their nails.
8:50 am
Aloyisius
can you vacuum bunnies?
8:50 am
crosshair
will bunnies use a scratching post?
8:51 am
Aloyisius
gently, of course
8:52 am
crosshair
lol,aloy i think that would be like my trying to vacuum my cats
8:52 am
Aloyisius
well, bunnies seem to be more placid
8:53 am
Aloyisius
but I don't know, have never owned a bunny
8:53 am
Scrabbler
Bunnies don't need to scratch, they need to chew.
8:54 am
Scrabbler
In the summer I bring the bunnies out on the back deck and pull the shedding fur off.
8:55 am
Aloyisius
some lucky birds have soft linings in their nests
8:58 am

9:15 am
72 Temple Owl
he is cute, what breed is he
9:16 am
Maisie
a cockerpoo. Working cocker spaniel crossed with a standard poodle.
9:17 am
Maisie
He was only a puppy in my icon he is 7 now
9:18 am
72 Temple Owl
he is a big dog then
9:18 am
Maisie
Bigger than they expected he is more like a labradoodle.
9:19 am
72 Temple Owl
bet he is energetic and smart
9:19 am
crosshair
i had a cockerpoo once.thing was way too smart for its own good
9:20 am
Maisie
Definitely and also very affectionate and loyal
9:20 am
crosshair
prone to ear infections
9:21 am
Maisie
They have another one same breed but smaller, full of energy. He will come back on command but only when he's ready
9:21 am
crosshair
never,ever let them run in the tall grass in the morning till the dew has burned off!
9:21 am
72 Temple Owl
a working cocker is a big dog> they are pretty small here and do not seem compatible with a std poodle
9:22 am
Maisie
I wouldn't know. I asked my daughter in law what his parentage was as so many people stop and ask me
9:22 am
crosshair
i find the full size standard poodles over bred nasty beasts
9:23 am
crosshair
give me a nice mix or a heinz 57 anytime
9:23 am
Maisie
Agree about the grass Crossy, I'm not a dog expert but find these cross breeds very good tempered
9:23 am
72 Temple Owl
i know only bout dogs from those i have encountered - and animal planet. i have never owned one.
9:24 am
72 Temple Owl
but growing up wanted a cocker. lady and the tramp and all.
9:24 am
Maisie
I've never owned a dog, a lot easier to borrow them and give them back. Much like grandchildren
9:25 am
72 Temple Owl
sounds great!
9:25 am
Maisie
That was the first film I saw apparently. For my third birthday treat
9:26 am
crosshair
i cannot wait for grandbabbies, however, must get my 19 year old working,out of the house and married off first :))
9:27 am
72 Temple Owl
and did you fall in love with cockers
9:27 am
Maisie
MY son had a daughter 3 months ago, I had to wait till he was 34 far too long to wait
9:28 am
Maisie
Not at the time To
9:28 am
72 Temple Owl
oh you are a new grandma then! fun!
9:29 am
crosshair
wait till they are 2. you can pump them full of sugar and food colouring,give them high energy play an hour before mum and dad show up and ship them home!! mwahahaha
9:29 am

I'm waiting on grandbabies - the dh is trying but starting to think it may take in ai or in vitro. 3 years w/ no success
9:29 am

Sounds like a plan

I mean - the dd! duh!

Took 3 years for mine but happened naturally in the end
9:32 am

i need to clear rows 2 3 and 4 from rows 1 and 2. odd lookin stats. better get busy
9:32 am
rastapopolous
well they haven't given up hope. So far the drs haven't found anything serious to be a problem. She just quit her job that she hates to bring down stress levels - of course then you worry more abou money
9:32 am
72 Temple Owl
job stress is pretty powerful, hope this does the trick.
9:33 am
Maisie
My diL fell pregnant just after they had bought their second dog
9:34 am
Maisie
Probably stopped stressing about conceiving while puppy training
9:35 am
rastapopolous
yes, we're hoping. She actually is taking 11 mos of unpaid leave, so can go back if she feels the need. At least in France where she lives the fertility treatments will all be national health if it comes to that
9:36 am
mael
rasta, new research suggests that stress doesn't hamper fertility (depression does, but stress itself does not). So please tell her at least to not stress about stressing! :)
9:36 am
rastapopolous
No lickety I see. Does Dee have a list? I'm pretty well stuck
9:37 am
rastapopolous
Will do Mael. That *has* been a problem
9:37 am
Maisie
I'm finding it hard too still need 24
9:37 am
72 Temple Owl
oh, it stresses me when i hear there is no list. at least this is short.
9:38 am

Thanks, Molly

best of luck to them, I know how crazy making it is to want a baby and have things not work out as smoothly as one would have hoped. I did plenty of research as we were trying to conceive and now we have a baby due in April :)
9:40 am
rastapopolous
Oh wonderful!
9:40 am
Maisie
well done mael
9:40 am
rastapopolous
I have baby goats due in April, but not quite the same
9:41 am
mael
thanks! Though I'd love baby goats too! We're moving to the country next year and plan on getting a couple does :)
9:45 am
rastapopolous
we moved 4 years ago to a few acres - now have chickens, goats, bees. electric car and the solar panels are going in as we speak.
9:46 am
mael
yep, that's exactly the plan for us!
9:46 am
mael
we're building a house with a big barn, covering said barn in solar panels, and getting some animals :)
9:46 am
mael
down to the chickens, goats, and bees :)
9:47 am
Maisie
Sounds lovely, would have loved to do the same but there's no chance

9:52 am
Good Enough
i'm saving energy by sitting very still in this chair. does that count as going green?
9:53 am
Maisie
I have a wood burning stove so that's my bit of green
9:56 am
rururocks
.u recycle wine bottles by emptying them first
9:57 am
Maisie

9:57 am
mael

9:57 am

Absolutely, rasta, same goes for you if you're ever in the Boston area :)

10:00 am
mael
hi dorens :)
10:00 am
Dorens
i took the tpk home and it took forever
10:00 am
Dorens
ru just does that to be perverse i think, since it disturbs people. or maybe to keep us on our toes
10:00 am
72 Temple Owl
oh no! what day?
10:01 am
Dorens
yesterday. major accident in MD, and then construction on the tpk in mid jersey. + congestion in general
10:01 am
72 Temple Owl
wow. today will be worse though, thank good ness you did not wait
10:02 am
rururocks
Me? Perverse?
10:02 am
Dorens
how silly of me
10:02 am
72 Temple Owl
i need 7 more
10:02 am
Dorens
(the accident in MD actually closed I 95 for a while... while I was there
10:03 am
Dorens
it's just a front though... you are really a sweetie
10:04 am
72 Temple Owl
last friday my new friend from MD took FIVE HOURS to get here because of accident on 95 and getting lost on alternate route. FIVE HOURS and at one point in kensington.
10:05 am
Dorens
i usually do 83 to 81 to 78 -- definitely should have yesterday. 95 is a mess unless it's off hours... and they charge a fortune for it as well
10:06 am

10:41 am
Mary
how horrible mael, was the damper closed while fire going?
10:41 am
mael
insurance is great, but I'm not letting the dry cleaning company take my sheets/clothes I can wash myself. They took the jackets and couch cushions and stuff
10:42 am
hego
Ugh! sounds messy
10:42 am
mael
no, unfortunately improperly installed wall insulation around the actual fireplace. It was a ticking time bomb said the fire department, which means that I'm actually very glad it happened when we were home/not sleeping
10:43 am
Mary
so sorry, mael, but as you said it could have been worst.
10:44 am
mael
absolutely, we are very very thankful that, while terrifying at the time, the damage is actually as contained as possible and obviously no one, including our cat, was hurt
10:46 am

No, not a bad grid and I'm getting better at being intuitive with the words. I love to watch stidmama work the grid as her fingers just fly.
3:35 pm

we have had the heating on for a few days now but the weather is unbelievable for the 1st of December.
3:36 pm
stidgmere
I think it is so cool we can visit in real time on the chog. My husband and I made a trip to France and England when I retired six years ago. We explored the Devon area where some of my ancestors emmigrated from. We talk about what we saw and did on that trip very often. Do you mean it is really warm for December 1?
3:38 pm
mo
well not warm but we have early morning frosts but it warms up during the day.We still have roses coming into bloom.
3:39 pm
stidgmere
Oh, you are so fortunate to have roses this time of year. We are in a winter mode with few blooms on anything. I do have primroses with some flowers, though.
3:41 pm
mo
we do not have the primroses until well after Christmas.We are amazed that the roses are doing so well, must be all the mild weather we have had.
3:43 pm
mo
Hope you enjoyed your trip to England.
3:43 pm
stidgmere
Some years we have snow here on Puget Sound, other years it is just rainy. Our dog, Murphy, went outside and I need to monitor where he was wandered to. He goes to our neighbor's house because that is where the bunnies have their tunnels. He thinks bunnies are pretty special. He doesn't chase them, he just watches.
3:46 pm
mo
aah bless him, he is obviously a labrador ... am I right?
3:47 pm
stidgmere
Yes, a lab. He is the most mild-mannered dog we've had and has a wonderful vocabulary. He doesn't say much but understands lots.
3:48 pm
mo
We dog sit our nephews black lab during the week and I am certain she is more intelligent than most humans and so mild mannered too.
3:49 pm

How nice your nephews can have their dog in a loving environment while they are working.

howdy my friends:)) just finished watching a interesting programme that originally aired on VH1 i think it was(but you can get it in you tube) it is called Behind the scenes and this episode was about the life and music of Jim Croce. Poor man the record industry used him and abused him and to be honest i do not think he ever saw any real money before he died in 1973
3:51 pm
stidgmere
haven is not a clue. it is the first part of haven't.
3:52 pm
penquis
i believe he just put out one album before he died....i have it on tape somewhere...
3:52 pm

I loved jim Croce songs.
3:53 pm
hego
Stid give my love to your daughter, please.
3:53 pm
crosshair
as do i.took his wife Ingrid 4 years in courts to start the money owed to them to start flowing.Jim's son A.J is in the business now
3:53 pm
stidgmere
Yes, I'll remember you to stidmma, hego.
3:53 pm
crosshair
he put out 4 albums in total.3 on his own and a early one with him and ingrid together that had poor sales
3:54 pm

my thoughts and best wishes go to your daughter too stid.
3:55 pm

i am sorry.what is wrong with your daughter stid?

All good then
3:57 pm

Stidmama has enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday, she has planned for the coming week, corrected papers, visited with her children, eaten a nice meal with us on Thanksgiving, and gone out to her house to continue planning and decision-making. Your kind thoughts are positively important and we are all grateful for our friends.
3:58 pm
crosshair
do they have a tentative move in date yet?
3:58 pm
mo
Glad to hear it stidmere.
3:58 pm
stidgmere
No. The last I heard was February but I think that is tentative.
3:59 pm
hego
that would be great.
4:00 pm
stidgmere
It just makes me wonder how whole towns, like Washington, Illinois, are ever going to be put back together. With winter weather really coming there, how will those families cope?
4:01 pm
hego
We went through that last year with Sandy.
4:01 pm
hego
It was really tough
4:02 pm
hego
But people stuck together and helped each other.
4:02 pm
hego
Some, however are still not in their homes.
4:02 pm
mo
I hope I am not digging up emotions but do they know how the fire started? .... you dont have to answer if you do not want to stid.
4:03 pm
stidgmere
I see pictures of the Sandy area and appreciate the difficulty of rebuilding towns on sand bars.
4:03 pm
hego
Was it electrical?
4:04 pm
mo
I just do not know how I would cope in these situations.
4:04 pm
hego
Whole towns were devastated Stid, not just the ones on the barrier beaches.
4:04 pm
stidgmere
I am happy to tell you what I know but I also have hesitated asking Stidmama about the origin another time. For quite a while they didn't seem to know. Electrical, yes. Was it a faulty heating pad? Not sure. I shall eventually find out.
4:04 pm
penquis
can someone give me stats for the 8 word please?
4:05 pm
hego
I thought she said electrical in nature, but no details.
4:05 pm
stidgmere
Oh, the information I have hego is obviously not complete about the New Jersey storm damage. We have plenty of situations to respond to, that is for sure.
4:06 pm
hego
and hiya penq
4:07 pm
hego
Big ethical questions about rebuilding on those barrier beaches.
4:07 pm
crosshair
reminds me my friends; if you use those energy saving "pigtail" lightbulbs like most of us do,make sure yours are from a north american manufacturer or other big name like GE. many of the imported ones sold on the cheap in dollar stores and wal-marts have been over heating in the sockets and pose a fire hazard
4:07 pm
mo
I understand stidgmere thank you.
4:07 pm
hego
The debate will continue for some time.
4:07 pm
stidgmere
I am going to wander off as I have about half the words and want to read for awhile. Enjoy your day, all.

7:53 pm

Yeah, I know AZ 5/22, but can't figure it out... but not gonna give up...
7:54 pm
torgone
Heya stid ..
7:54 pm
torgone
Do you want a clue, phan?
7:54 pm
phandmd
yes please, I am giving up the monkeys
7:55 pm
stidmama
tor, I am so happy to see you today! Stood out in the rain for over an hour and a half to see Grant in his last parade as a high school student!
7:56 pm
phandmd
I would have done the same for my son, Stidmama!
7:56 pm
lbdawger
az+ h*** and go seek
7:56 pm
torgone
It's a chemical term like ox***
7:57 pm
torgone
Or perox***
7:57 pm
stidmama
:-) I love hearing the kids play, not much of a fan of the monster trucks revving engines and making toxic black plumes, though. :-)
7:57 pm
stidmama
thanks for that A!
7:57 pm
phandmd
well, it doesn't help that my math was wrong, I thought the rest of the word were all 1 point tiles. Thank you for the help
7:58 pm
phandmd
Ugh, me either, Stidmama! But in the name of love...
8:00 pm
stidmama
:-) and we DOES love our kiddos! LOL poor thing, we follow the band along the whole route every year, taking pics and video the whole time. We are the only parents who are quite that peculiar. *wicked mama grin* this year, I gave his girlfriend "the treatment" too!
8:00 pm
phandmd
sounds like perfect fun!
8:00 pm
stidmama
oooh! NBT
8:00 pm
phandmd
I think we are kindred spirits, Stidmama!
8:01 pm
phandmd
clue for that FR 8 please?
8:01 pm
stidmama
I think so, phand -- speaking of, how are you? last we "spoke" you had a patient who was not long to last...
8:01 pm
stidmama
fr 8? really? *sigh*
8:02 pm
phandmd
Well, he survived my shift. I haven't been back since last Tuesday, so not sure what has happened. I did give his wife my e-mail so she could let me know the funeral arrangements. But I haven't heard anything yet. so, not sure
8:03 pm
phandmd
I don't go back in until Wednesday.
8:03 pm
torgone
It's more of a word meaning untidy - usually spelled with a "w"
8:03 pm
stidmama
ah, it's rough to not know. Are you working only part time?
8:03 pm
phandmd
yes, 2 12 hour shifts a week.
8:03 pm
stidmama
PERFECT clue, tor!
8:03 pm
phandmd
Torgon, is the word usually starting with the W?
8:04 pm
stidmama
oh, man, that at least gives you a little time to recuperate after each shift I guess. I am glad I don't have to be "on" 12 hours a day, though I do tend to work at least ten hours a day during the week at least I can prop my feet up for half that time while I grade papers and plan the next day's lessons...
8:04 pm
phandmd
I wish I was smart enough for these perfect clues.
8:05 pm
stidmama
phand, think of a woman with really wild hair, windblown looking, she is fr****; and a woman with wilder hair is even more so... (use the high point tile)
8:07 pm
phandmd
I just went to A-Z to get it, I never heard that word before. Thanks for trying to help, Stidmama :)
8:08 pm
phandmd
As for the job, It doesn't even really feel like I have a job. (well except for that 1 hour commute part...)
8:08 pm
penquis
that was my last word, phan...
8:08 pm
stidmama
(((phand))) (((Tor))) (((LBD))) heading out to finish making my notes. back later if I can. down to 45 with your help! :-) AND NBS! *poof*
8:08 pm
phandmd

8:09 pm

8:13 pm
phandmd
OK, may I please have a clue for the PI 5/12?
8:13 pm
phandmd

8:13 pm
phandmd

8:14 pm

8:17 pm
