Hello Mum xxxx
3:01 am
worzel
I don't much care for this grid - and I refuse to believe there's a 10 letter word!
3:03 am
grannyrose
aww son, the 10 is so easy. start with en8, to place in a position of strength, then past tense it
3:04 am
worzel
right-o Mum - gimme a few hours to guess the en8 & i should be right on it!! lol xx How are you this fine morning? (Well I say fine, it's sunny but very frosty!)
3:04 am
grannyrose
to say someone is en10, is to say they are up to their chins in it.
3:05 am
grannyrose
*giggle* love, had hydro this am. allowed myself one strong pain med. this afternoon. it's not too bad.
3:07 am
grannyrose
en10, usually used...someone is deeply en10 in something. core of word is tr6, like a ditch. soldiers dig them to fight from.
3:07 am
worzel
((((hugs)))) sending you a big kiss and hugs from across the pond xx - as for the en8 and en10 i could be a while - just woken up and me brain's not followed suit lol

Lizlin
Good to see you've now got a flag, worz x
3:20 am
worzel
No but I'm only about 2hours drive from Scotland - we have such a small country that at this time of morning the temperatures across the nation are pretty much the same, usually. The nearest temperature to us that they showed was -2 so I think I'll stay here and yap to you lot - until Diane forces me to go shopping lol x
3:20 am
worzel
I'd get lots of laughs, don't know about discounts!
3:21 am
grannyrose
in fact, they would probably pay you to leave the shop...
3:21 am

Interesting way of making money.

one year the fig tree got hit with a hard frost and I thought it was a goner, but even though the branches all had dead tips, it is still alive. No figs for 2 years, though. They form and fall off without ripening, twice a year

6:50 am
rubyfoo
what thrives here no matter what kind of spring, are red and black currants, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. Also tomatoes. It is not such a big property so there's one of this, one of that with the trees The Quince, too, is problematical. Most years the fruit rots and falls off, but the blossoms are gorgeous
6:51 am
crosshair
would dig the hole with the heel of your sneaker, then draw the magic circle around it at the perfect distance, which was usually the exact length of a shoe lace
6:52 am

the figs are better in the market, but picking them off my own tree is special

6:53 am

i will gladly offer a free week of crossy breakfasts for a single pint jar of home made gooseberry jam!

72 Temple Owl
ty. it brought up a toolbar but that is all. i keep opening new tabs because and using google because i can no longer type in a web address nor see one
9:06 am
welki
even when you tried to restore the default toolbars?
9:07 am
welki
only other thing i can suggest is to try holding F10 to see if it'll restore your address bar - after that, maybe uninstall/reinstall firefox?
9:07 am
72 Temple Owl
did not try that. never had a toolbar,
9:07 am
welki
an address bar is a toolbar :)
9:08 am
72 Temple Owl
got it, ty! wonder ho i lost it in the frist lace.
9:09 am
72 Temple Owl
oh, you know what i mean. i need to take advantae of this frigid but sunny day to run errends before the snow.
9:09 am
welki
i sometimes press something up on the top of my screen that does it
9:10 am
welki
enjoy the running around - more snow? (yuck) hey, made my first visit to trader joe's - really liked it
9:10 am
72 Temple Owl
appreciate the help. apropos of nothing, i saw an article on yahoo today with cleaning tips. one of them was to clean the tub with vodka. talk about rotgut.
9:11 am
72 Temple Owl
ooh, what did you get and is it ok to bring food home with you?
9:11 am
welki
streaky windows/mirrors? vodka or gin :)
9:11 am
72 Temple Owl
what a waste
9:12 am
welki
picked some things up for the kids there - only thing i brought home was a white canvas tote with their logo on it (and have already used it) - i think if there was one here (and the prices were the same), i'd go there all the time
9:12 am
72 Temple Owl
aww, heart your icon.
9:12 am
welki
i didn't find them expensive - but food in your neck of the woods is LOTS cheaper than up here
9:14 am
72 Temple Owl
i buy their oatmeal, and nuts. used to buy cherry jam but they changed it. longing for some michigan sour cherry jam.
9:14 am
72 Temple Owl
the oatmeal is much superior to quaker. and even better is to mix half oatmeal with half of their whole grain hot cereal.
9:14 am
mixi6
they changed our prediction from major snow to little to no accumulation.
9:15 am
72 Temple Owl
and their flowers!
9:15 am
welki
i did buy flowers :)
9:16 am

down to 20, but soooo slow
12:27 pm

12:28 pm
kje
prob, but maybe there are some obvious ones I've missed
12:29 pm
zoozzoom
I think i might list too
12:29 pm
zoozzoom
unerected
12:29 pm
kje
plus, these points are helping on the weird ones... at least I know where to monkey
12:32 pm
freckledcat
As a newbie I'd like to know what" listing"means.
12:33 pm
doseffing
... once you get stuck ... if you click on lickety's babble clues at the bottom ... you'll find all the first two letter combinations
12:33 pm
kje
look below grid - lickety's babble clues link
12:34 pm
zoozzoom
Hello, Freckledcat...If you look to where it says friends of babble....there is a link to click on..it is called lickety's babble clues.
12:34 pm
freckledcat
Oh so you look to see what the second letter etc .
12:34 pm
kje
ok, yes, there were a couple I should have seen!
12:35 pm
doseffing
... your choice of if you list ... or when ... and how much ... when i started I usually listed at about 50% ... now I'm up to about 75% and usually try for more than 80% ... but I now of people who religously refuse to list
12:35 pm
freckledcat
I guess you try to get all the words you can before listing
12:36 pm
zoozzoom
And welcome to babble by the way, Freckledcat :-)
12:36 pm
kje
everyone uses it differently - some use the list right away, some when they are stumped, others have a preset % or number, others never - no shame whichever you want
12:37 pm
freckledcat
I have used it some and found it helpful. I also like the clues that you all share. thank you.
12:37 pm
zoozzoom
There are the few elite players who don't seem to need the list...I am not one of them :-)
12:38 pm
freckledcat
Thanks for the info. I love the game but MUST control it!
12:38 pm
doseffing
... good luck with that
12:39 pm
zoozzoom
Congrats, Kje!
12:39 pm
kje
ok, can clue very briefly if needed before I poof
12:40 pm
zoozzoom
I am taking a break now..but thanks, Kje!
12:40 pm
freckledcat
One more question. Do you just look at the list or do you actually put the letters in? And then what?
12:41 pm
doseffing
... you can put them in the list and then transfer them all at once ... some do ... I don't ...
12:41 pm
kje
look to the bottom, freck - there is a place to cut and paste and add...
12:42 pm
kje
if on a PC, there is a way to automatic update list to grid and vice versa... lickety babble expert... I'm on a Mac so I don't use it
12:42 pm
kje
someone can give you the link though
12:43 pm
freckledcat
Oh I see. I may have to practice that since I'm not that great on the computer!
12:44 pm

1:41 pm
hego
It's different for the males,ef.
1:42 pm
Nef
different? I've never heard that before.....
1:43 pm
hego
just kidding
1:45 pm
Nef
:-) How are you today? We have cloudy and clod here again today, we *might* hit 30 degrees (F) if we're lucky
1:45 pm
hego
40 but getting colder.
1:52 pm
Nef
(Why is it every time I sit down at the computer DH must come and give me some sort of piddley job or task to do? HE can play games on His computer, but *I* am not allowed to relax?)
1:55 pm
Nef
*I* don't think so either! It gets really OLD somedays, you know? THE GRANDSON IS IN PRESCHOOL RIGHT NOW, SO THOUGHT I COULD COME AND RELAX FOR AN HOUR. NO, DH WANTS ME TO DROP EVERYTHING AND GO TAKE SOME OLD ELECTRONICS TO BEST BUY "NOW" TO GET THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE! (I SAID NO!)
1:55 pm
Nicky6
ok here I go not much time need to go outside it is too nice to stay inside
1:56 pm
MollyL
Good for you Nef
1:56 pm
hego
is that hello or good bye?
1:56 pm
Nef
Ooops, sorry for yelling.
1:57 pm
Nef
hi Nicki and Molly
1:57 pm
hego
good for you is right.
1:58 pm
Nef
Does anyone else ever have that problem? Where their spouse doesn't like to see them relax online?
1:59 pm
Nicky6
oh ...yes! Thanks god he goes to work so I can do the important stuff!
1:59 pm
MollyL
It sounds like a boundaries issue to me Nef. He needs to understand when you are doing your "relaxing" things, that is not the time to bug you to do errands.
1:59 pm
hego
No, but some spouses are like little kids and hate to be ignored.
2:00 pm
MollyL
Male spouses in particular.
2:01 pm
Nef
Well, I think part of it is he can't drive at this point again; the last time he drove (about 2 months ago) he put a huge dent and rip in the back bumper; so he knows he's not able to do some of this stuff himself.
2:02 pm
rubyfoo
Husbands!!! Nuf (nef) said.
2:02 pm
MollyL
Understood Nef. That doesn't mean you have to be his errand girl when you are trying to take a break.
2:03 pm
rubyfoo
Hello Hego. Molly is right, Nef, you need your own time to relax
2:03 pm
hego
Yes, Molly, I was trying to be pc, but it is mostly male spouses.
2:03 pm
Nef
the funny thing is that the scanner has been here over 20 years; never bothered him before, but NOW that he can't drive; it's got to go! <shakes head>
2:05 pm
Nef
At least he took NO for an answer; but it just boggles my mind that he does this!
2:07 pm
Nef
okay, so I'm done complaining for the day.
How's things going for you guys?
2:08 pm
hego
Glad you vented.
2:09 pm
Nef
:-) yeah; but it's so much better to be done venting too.
2:15 pm
Nef
okay, how are you guys doing with this grid? I'm having trouble getting to NBS thus far
2:15 pm
hego
It's prickly
2:16 pm
Nef
okay, then it isn't just me?

2:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

2:26 pm
juliamo17

2:26 pm
anawaltgal
the G's and te's - 34 to go
2:27 pm
Nef
julia, NBT means no Blank Tiles (there's at least 1 word for every tile)
2:28 pm
Nef
NBS means No blank Stats (every word length is covered
2:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
well, i have 58 words, i only found one since i got nbt
2:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(i usually don't bother trying to get nbs on my one, since i almost never can find the long words on my onw, and today there's a 10) (!)
2:30 pm
Nef
Yuk, it is tough, isn't it?
2:30 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i'm going to assume the 10 is a compound, and hunt for it for a few minutes before i give up LOL
2:32 pm
ursh
the 10 is a pt of en8 - think wartime foxholes
2:33 pm
anawaltgal
tks ursh
2:33 pm
Nef
this is one of those grids where I want to rearrange some letters on it. Iused to say that almost all the time; but haven't thought that for years. However, this grid stinks
2:33 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
okay, ursh, hunting . . .
2:34 pm
Nef
sorry, another spellcheck error, ursh.
2:35 pm

2:36 pm
Nicky6

2:37 pm
Nef
well, yesterday I FINALLY learned how to make spellcheck learn new words, so, hopefully, in the future I should have your name spelled right now ursh
2:38 pm
juliamo17
under tile stats, some say 0/0. does that mean that there are no words that use that tile?
2:38 pm
Nef
thant's right julia. That's why those letters are already blacked out
2:38 pm
juliamo17
thanks. it's my first time :)

3:09 pm
uusue2
ah. Well, I will keep looking.
3:12 pm
Nef
I don't like this grid; it's like pulling teeth to find words (for me, at least)
3:24 pm
Nef
Hi uusue. I'm kind of multi-tasking here (pretty much as usual), so am popping in and out a lot right now
3:27 pm
lynxxx
bye everyone
3:29 pm
Nef
bye lynxxx. Did you finish?
3:30 pm
MollyL
The words are hard to see because they are set up in the grid at odd angles and directions
3:31 pm
Nef

Well, it's hard to read one to the left, one down and two to the right. : D

Woohoo uusue
5:19 pm

My da told me once, in secret, a golden nugget of wisdom. It has been passed down through the ages as it were. It goes like this: " if all else goes to hell, and things are a turmoil, and it has gotten so bad that you want to tear your anguished heart from your breast and dash it upon the reefs of romantic misery, pause for a moment, suck it up, smile, and always, always, leave them laughing"
5:19 pm
crosshair
yes. he is a temporary wolf, but I kind of like him.
5:19 pm
uusue2
he sounds like quite a guy, crossy!
5:20 pm
Jillyjill
My dad was somewhat more sardonic, he said "If you had a crystal ball of your life, you'd probably kill yourself."
5:20 pm
crosshair
if I had a crystal ball of life, I would have to pawn it:(

Jillyjill
I am really careful...did get hacked once when we were in Hawaii. Still think it was the public wifi. And no damage done. Just new passwords to set.
7:59 pm
lilliann
I don't go on mine so i think i will get rid of them...i have 2
7:59 pm
herinfernallady
I do volunteer work at a community legal centre. Kind of like Legal Aid
8:00 pm
lilliann
My husband's fault, as we played farmville
8:00 pm
Jillyjill
We did, however, get caught up in the US department store credit card debacle where they hacked numbers.
8:00 pm
lilliann
Great herin, if i ever need legal help, i'll be emailing you:)
8:01 pm
herinfernallady
I pay in cash though am very guilty of the touch and go thing
8:01 pm
herinfernallady
Lil just an admin monkey. i do boring things like filling.
8:01 pm
lilliann
Not good jilly, i hope you both came out ok
8:02 pm
lilliann
better than owt herin:0
8:03 pm
lilliann

8:03 pm
suefrad625
clue for the ar please
8:03 pm
lilliann
So how is your other half doing herin?
8:04 pm
herinfernallady
I am a sick weirdo that likes filing. Problem on Friday night I had my own little matrix running across my eyes from all the numbers
8:04 pm
Jillyjill
Only the hassle. We had been traveling on the east coast when we learned of it, I began monitoring our account for any unusual activity then we changed them when we got home.
8:04 pm
herinfernallady
He is good. Still at the same job. Has been for the last 12 years
8:05 pm
Jillyjill
ar+ vowel + most of frozen water
8:05 pm
lilliann
ar,vowel and cold cube
8:06 pm
lilliann
Lol herin, you're not weird!Glad to hear he is ok
8:08 pm
lilliann
it is a pain.our bank will tell us of any unusual changes, but saying that, it will probably be after it happens but we are insured for anything like that
8:09 pm
rururocks
so do you have to shelve your feelings herin?
8:10 pm
herinfernallady
Ru - you mean in dewie decimal system order?????? :D
8:10 pm
lilliann
Lol Ru and hi:D
8:13 pm
herinfernallady
The problem at work is we have a lot of people on the system with the same last names and I am one of those mutants that alphabetise them properly.
8:14 pm
Jillyjill
hello ruru
8:16 pm
rururocks
hiya jilly
8:17 pm
rururocks
I had to fetch a glass of semillon
8:17 pm
rururocks
now I'm set...
8:17 pm
rururocks
still too hot to take a walk
8:18 pm
lilliann
now wrong with that, i would do the same..probably because when i was 16 and worked in the school holidays for a driving instructor company that my mam worked for, i would send out all the magazines to different instructors all over Britain and the UK so i had to alphabetise all the names.it was hard work for a 16 year old especially when i had to keep asking where certain places in Scotland were, as i had to know the post codes
8:18 pm
smores
back to finish up
8:19 pm
lilliann
But it was a good bit of pocket money..i thought i was rich at the end of it...:)
8:19 pm
lilliann
Hi Smores
8:20 pm
herinfernallady
I was the kid that lived in the library in High School
8:20 pm
herinfernallady
Hi Smores
8:22 pm
lilliann
me too herin but i enjoyed it, especially when i was doing projects.the bairn is like me and doing a project on ww1 and she has 6 weeks to do it and the teacher said spend an hour a week, she's doing atleast 2 hours a day
8:22 pm
lilliann
Smores...i have that one!! :)
8:23 pm
herinfernallady
That is a lot of work.
8:24 pm
herinfernallady
I am going to be an old fart here but kids have it easy with research these days.
8:24 pm
Jillyjill
Ain't that the truth! Google it
8:24 pm
rururocks
you can't call yourself an old fart until you're my age herin
8:24 pm
lilliann
Aye, she is working really hard and reading books, looking on line and she could print loads of the net but she is writing alot out herself...but that is her...if she does something she wants to do it her way(like me)
8:25 pm
herinfernallady
My old next door neighbours kid was complaining about her project and all I said was - at least you didn't have to go to the library and use the old file cards
8:25 pm
Dorens
and you can't till your MY age, Ru
8:25 pm
lilliann
LOl Dorens and hi :)
8:25 pm
rururocks
HA!!!!!!!! out classed by the ancient one :D
8:25 pm
Jillyjill
Hello dorens!
8:25 pm
herinfernallady
Ru - 37 this year. I get to say that because if I had a kid at 22 it would be graduating high school.
8:25 pm
herinfernallady
Hi Dorens
8:26 pm
rururocks
37 .. you could be my daughter herin
8:26 pm
Dorens
hi herin, you young 'un
8:26 pm
rururocks
my youngest
8:26 pm
rururocks
<---fortunately practices safe sex :D
8:26 pm
lilliann
My bairn goes to our local libraries and we have atleast 3 and she chooses books and reads them first and then writes
8:27 pm
Dorens
my oldest son is 39. 37 is definitely young
8:27 pm
Jillyjill
My eldest is 31 and youngest 27.
8:27 pm
herinfernallady
Fortunately never wants snotlings
8:27 pm
Jillyjill
Of course I had them in jr high ;)
8:27 pm
rururocks
ah to be 37 again ... :D
8:27 pm
rururocks
jilly was a quick starter
8:28 pm
rururocks
she took her biology classes seriously
8:28 pm
lilliann
i could be your daughter too Ru!! :D
8:28 pm
Dorens
i just found out that one of my former students had her third child. and she isn't even 17 yet. can't make that kind of joke ru
8:28 pm
rururocks
I never had any snotlings either herin
8:28 pm
Minveryork
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing

Minver: I had NO IDEA you were that Young
8:29 pm
herinfernallady
MINI Hello
8:29 pm
rururocks
you look like you're 23 or something
8:30 pm
lilliann
What Dorens?? 3 before she is 17?
8:30 pm
herinfernallady
One of my sisters was 14 when she had her first
8:30 pm
Dorens
yes lil -- the first was at 13. very sad..i just can't believe it
8:30 pm
rururocks
cute too.. no wonder hubby doesn't let the leash out very long :D
8:31 pm
Dorens
even cuter in person!!
8:31 pm
rururocks
there is something inherently sad about 14 year olds having babies
8:31 pm
Jillyjill
When we first moved here I worked with at risk pregnancies. There was a "thing" going on in school where guys were actually competing as to how many girls they could impregnate. One was 14. And that was 25 years ago!
8:32 pm
rururocks
are we talking Montana Jilly?
8:32 pm
Jillyjill
Of course that ended badly for the gentleman as the girls daddy was the county sheriff.
8:32 pm
herinfernallady
My birth mum and sister had theirs at the same time.
8:32 pm
rururocks
hence the term Jail bait
8:33 pm
lilliann
Omg...i don't know what to say...it's very sad for her and i don't want to diss the family as i don't know know the facts, but 3 before she's 17!!
8:33 pm
rururocks
you'd think she'd figure it out after the first one lillian
8:33 pm
Jillyjill
And yes ruru, little old Hamilton MT...1989
8:33 pm
herinfernallady
Fortunately my sisters partner has stuck about and they are married and stuff
8:33 pm
Dorens
this girl's mother just had her third child shortly before her daughter's 3rd --
8:34 pm
rururocks
some girls have this crazy urge to procreate.. without thinking about the consequences
8:34 pm
Jillyjill
Sheesh, I had a teen girl in youth ministry who had 2 before she was out of HS.
8:34 pm
Dorens
not that it should matter, but the mother is an illegal
8:34 pm
lilliann
Glad to hear that they are still together herin but still a very young age
8:34 pm
rururocks
<--- I slept with older women in high school.. women who knew better :D
8:34 pm
herinfernallady
The only time I really didn't dislike Teen Moms was the girl who adopted out her kid. THat I thought was an important non glamorising of the issue.
8:35 pm
Minveryork
Thanks rururocks!I guess you never look at my profile page
8:35 pm
rururocks
<--- more Semillon!!!!!!
8:37 pm
lilliann
It's sad Doren's but that's obviously where she learnt it from, as in her Mother.i'm not casting any aspertions!!(sp?)
8:37 pm
rururocks
you certainly don't look anything close to 40 Minver
8:38 pm
rururocks
and Doren looks like she's 48
8:38 pm
lilliann
It's got to be really hard for teenage mam's whether they kepp the bairn or put the bairn out for adoption...i don't know what i would do if my bairn ever got pregnant before she was 18...hopefully i'll never find out
8:39 pm
Minveryork
You can't see the gray hairs in a picture, but Dorens got to see all of them!I pull them out of my scalp every single day
8:39 pm
lilliann
sh jill?
8:40 pm
Minveryork
Is there a fire here in the chog? I think I smell smoke! LOL!
8:40 pm
Jillyjill
My sons got handed condoms when "of age". Of course didn't know then that the youngest was gay...one benefit of being gay I guess..no pregnancy risk
8:41 pm
rururocks
condoms come in handy for gays too jilly :D
8:42 pm
Jillyjill
True...
8:42 pm
rururocks
not that it's a rubber match or anything
8:42 pm
Jillyjill
He's been duly warned about that! We lived in the Bay Area in the 80's
8:43 pm
lilliann
Our children are taught about child birth and apparently given 1 condom but that doesn't mean anything in todays society....well, atleast he could tell you jilly
8:48 pm
rururocks
one condom wouldn't last very long lillian
8:48 pm
lilliann
I meant at School
8:49 pm
rururocks
I never had sex at school
8:49 pm
phandmd

8:49 pm
lilliann

jesdraggon
hey lady, i haven't seen you around in a while!
10:05 pm
herinfernallady
BaNope I haven't
10:06 pm
herinfernallady
How are you and the fur clan? Has that darling little kitty in your icon got a home?
10:07 pm
jesdraggon
she did :) she went to a home with another already declawed rescue cat
10:07 pm
jesdraggon
They re-named her Springer
10:07 pm
herinfernallady
Why do people feel the need to declaw cats makes me angry. Unless there is a medical reason
10:08 pm
jesdraggon
because couches are expensive, I guess? I rather figure claws come with the cat and if that doesn't fit your lifestyle, choose a different species pet... perhaps a guinea pig?
10:09 pm
herinfernallady
Or buy a really shitty chair like we have. $50 best clawing post ever
10:09 pm
Nicky6
Eric spelled weird... ae 5/12
10:10 pm
Nicky6
Oh! hello back at it.... 44 left
10:10 pm
herinfernallady
Thanks Nicky
10:10 pm
Nicky6
Your welcome
10:11 pm
herinfernallady
Jes kids are expensive to but these numb nuts have them I bet.
10:13 pm
herinfernallady
Over the weekend we got jokingly asked about declawing our monsters.
10:13 pm
Jacula
Well, I've managed to have kids, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, rabbits and a gerbil and necer felt the need to de-claw any of them! Tempting thought at times, but never done it. lol
10:13 pm
jesdraggon
i wouldn't know, just know they brought the cat in
10:14 pm
herinfernallady
And at least they were kind enough to bring the kitty to you rather than dump it
10:14 pm
Jacula
Hi, btw. xx
10:15 pm
herinfernallady
When we are at ikea we always joke about not having nice things or 'Ooo we can have that if we Nair the cats
10:16 pm
Nicky6
help with cr 5/12 I'm not seeing it
10:16 pm
Jacula
I was doing a bit of tidying up yesterday and sadly realised I could put away the brush I used to keep in the sitting room that speedily brushed away cat hairs off the sofa for any visitor who was fussed about them.
10:17 pm
herinfernallady
Nicky is it the bird one?
10:17 pm
Jacula
Nicky - cr5.12 a type of bird or a building site lifting machine.
10:17 pm
Nicky6
ok too easy
10:17 pm
herinfernallady
We have a friend that doesn't come here because he is allergic to kitties.
10:18 pm
Jacula
Well, herin, an allergy is different.
10:18 pm
herinfernallady
Rule in our house if you don't like fur stay of the 'fur'niture
10:19 pm
Jacula
We have no pets (for now), but their fur lingers on. If I wear black you can be sure a stray cat hair will find it. :)
10:20 pm
herinfernallady
I wouldn't know what to do without my furry terrors
10:21 pm
Jacula
It takes a bit of getting used to, Herin - not having a pet. I still often forget there are none. Though some are still here in spirit.
10:21 pm
herinfernallady
That is true
10:22 pm
herinfernallady
Speaking of fur I have to vacuum at some point.
10:22 pm
Jacula
I'm waiting for the next animal that wants or needs us to come along. It will happen when the time is right.
10:23 pm
Jacula
I don't even need to go to a rescue centre - the animal will come to our door.
10:24 pm
Jacula
My vacuuming is already done, Herin. *smug grin*
10:24 pm
herinfernallady
We had a cat wander to our door the other night. Cute little kitty
10:24 pm
herinfernallady
Hate vacuuming so it is avoided
10:24 pm
Jacula
I didn't think cats were allowed to wander in Oz, Herin!
10:24 pm
Jacula
Not that cats take any notice of 'rules'! lol
10:25 pm
herinfernallady
They aren't in some areas. Ours are strictly inside.
10:25 pm
uusue2
Hi all! Here to finish...
10:25 pm
herinfernallady
Personally I feel that it is irresponsible to have a cat wandering in a wildlife area.
10:25 pm
herinfernallady
Hi Sue
10:25 pm
jesdraggon
hi sue :)
10:25 pm
Jacula
Nicky - sorry if my clue was too easy. I'm usually accused of posting clues that are too hard. lol
10:26 pm
Nicky6
need all the help I can get
10:26 pm
uusue2
hi jac, herin, jes!
10:26 pm
uusue2
and nicky!
10:27 pm
herinfernallady
My old cat wandered off one night and my parents were in a coastal area. I was really beyond pissed off at them for not keeping her in a run like I had said a million times before she went off
10:28 pm
Jacula
Did you get her back, Herin?
10:29 pm
herinfernallady
No
10:29 pm
herinfernallady
She was old they think she went off to die. I think it was a load of bs and would have been better if she had a run
10:30 pm
herinfernallady
My dad is a master builder so it wasn't like it was hard for them to do so.
10:30 pm
Jacula
Well, I guess if cats aren't allowed to wander and so get to know their territory, they will either get lost or come to grief. However, I think your parents might have been right about your old cat going off to die. Cats often prefer to do that.
10:31 pm
herinfernallady
True. My two morons are inside cats with harnesses for outside
10:31 pm
maggiej
te 6/27 any hints?
10:32 pm
Jacula
maggie - te6/27 = sorted out by computer geeks, maybe?
10:33 pm
herinfernallady
Are the U words to do with pee or pee parts?
10:34 pm
herinfernallady
Apart from the 6/8 combo
10:34 pm
Jacula
herin - some of the ur words are.
10:34 pm
jesdraggon
some are, but there are also rn6 and 8 to do with leasing or lack thereof
10:34 pm
herinfernallady
have that but I was wondering if the other 4 were pee words
10:35 pm
Jacula
Well they all begin with the same 3 letters, herin.
10:35 pm
herinfernallady
Never mind have them all
10:36 pm
herinfernallady
Stupid acid word
10:37 pm
Jacula
maggiej - T + e5/16.
10:38 pm
herinfernallady
Jac you just reminded me to read the daily fail mail for my dose of sad entertainment
10:38 pm
Jacula
Lol re the daily read, Herin.
10:39 pm
Jacula
Make sure you are not mislead by the dramatic headlines, Herin!
10:39 pm
uusue2
down to my last three, all ur words
10:40 pm
herinfernallady
This is my daily dose of what moron celeb is doing what
10:41 pm
Jacula
uusue2 - ur + vowel + 'I'd rather be a hammer **** a nail' = ur7/36.
10:41 pm
uusue2
got them - fireworks!
10:41 pm
herinfernallady
Yah Sue
10:41 pm
Jacula
Well done, sue!
10:41 pm
jesdraggon
yay uusue!
10:42 pm
Jacula
herin - why do you even waste your time on what wanna be famous people are doing?
10:43 pm
herinfernallady
It is one of my secret chuckles.
10:44 pm
Jacula
And what is t these days with girls wearing too much foundation and blusher, plus bvious false eyelashes and brows that look like 17th century mouse skin stick ons?
10:45 pm
Jacula
Pretty girls are rendered ugly by such a fashion and ugly girls just look like pantomime dames. I really don't get it!
10:46 pm
herinfernallady
You are talking to the person that owns both winter and summer make up but never wears it
10:46 pm
Jacula
At one time it was only 'traveller' girls that got made up like that, but it now seems to be spreading into wider society.
10:47 pm
herinfernallady
I don't wear make up. heck I don't even have visible eyebrows at the moment

good, cuz i'm still trying to figure out which words start where :P
11:15 pm
stidmama
jes, I am "dreaming" landscaping I may be able to add if I manage to get another full-year gig next year. Is pea gravel an okay thing to put in a dog run? I don't want bark mulch, but I want something that is easily raked and maintained (the space doesn't have great light for keeping grasses alive)
11:16 pm
stidmama
and how's your house project going?
11:17 pm
jesdraggon
not gonna be able to do much, if anything, this year. gotta come up with too much for taxes right off and spending about $5000 on Bruce's teeth...
11:17 pm
herinfernallady

11:18 pm
stidmama
oh oh....
11:18 pm
jesdraggon
g'night, lady, sleep sweet!
11:18 pm
stidmama
(((lady))) see you soon I hope!
11:18 pm
stidmama
what did Bruce do with his teeth?!?
11:19 pm
jesdraggon
years of avoiding dentists, mainly. nothing acutely traumatic, but went in this month and spent $3000 for 2 crowns and 5 fillings.
11:19 pm
jesdraggon
going back next month to do the other side of his mouth
11:21 pm
stidmama
oh gee. that's rough. I am so glad our dental insurance paid for most of the work I needed when two teeth needed crowns (a third would have needed a crown, but the root canal split the tooth so it turned into an implant...).
11:22 pm
stidmama
But at least he is taking care of it now.
11:22 pm
jesdraggon
eesh. yeah, hopefully this is the end of expensive dentals... but with a $10,000 tax bill on top of that, there's just nothing to put towards house building
11:23 pm
stidmama
oooh. just found this article about a fossil bone (two halves found a hundred + years apart). Fascinating... http://www.bbc.com/news/science-enviro\nnment-26717415
11:23 pm
stidmama
oof. that is a really big tax bill.
11:24 pm
stidmama
I don't think we will owe money, but I haven't looked over the taxes yet. Tom has been entering the data. I need to check it before we send it off.
11:24 pm
