Hi there, my peeps.

12:17 am

melonheadjujube

Total hip replacement. I had what is called the antero-lateral approach, in which no muscles or tendons are cut, resulting in a faster recuperation with fewer restrictions.

12:17 am

melonheadjujube

Amazingly, it was done with spinal anesthesia plus a sedative, so no general anesthesai risks nor hangover.

12:17 am

periwinkle

I wish you a speedy and complete recovery, melon

12:17 am

periwinkle

wow, that is great about the anesthesia

12:18 am

melonheadjujube

they had me standing with the help of a walker six hours after surgery was completed.

12:18 am

periwinkle

amazing

12:18 am

Hi and hugs Rose

3:32 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} miz pugs

3:32 am

puglet

congrats too

3:33 am

grannyrose

thanx, hun. how has your day been?

3:34 am

puglet

its just starting but plans to be busy as was yesterday and how has yours been

3:35 am

puglet

Iam afraid I havent had very nice thoughts about this server this morning--lol

3:35 am

grannyrose

nice, started with church, where they gave don and early gift and card, and a cake with a candle. then footy with deacon, and his bit of a birthday. then home, and youngest son and wife called in to say hello. all in all, a great day.

3:36 am

grannyrose

yeah, it was a b***h when i was here earlier.

3:37 am

puglet

that was nice of the church to do and how did it go at the footy(and what is that) and no pain at church either

3:39 am

grannyrose

no pain at church, or later. deacon is playing for the junior league. they don't keep score (supposedly ), they just run around and kick the ball when they can. the ball they use is oval in shape, and can bounce any which way. the senior players can predict the way it will bounce, but the littlies can't. it quite funny to watch.

3:40 am

grannyrose

pugs, if you google AFL football, you should be able to find a clip of a game being played.

3:41 am

grannyrose

it is very different to american or british football.

3:41 am

puglet

lol--I bet that is fun to watch-----thats so good Rose on the pain--looks like you are about at the end of the healing---am so glad for you

3:42 am

puglet

okay and I want to say I liked the pics you sent of the men in arms

3:43 am

dizgrannie

FWs...last word was (oh derr) me 6/30

3:43 am

puglet

congrats Diz

3:44 am

grannyrose

WTG DIZ!!!! and lol on the duh.

3:44 am

dizgrannie

ty

3:45 am

dizgrannie

Rose, how was your ANZAC day?

3:45 am

grannyrose

interesting, diz. we watched several of the services from around the world.

3:45 am

grannyrose

did you do anything special?

3:46 am

puglet

Rose all the pics of your Anzac day were all in Queensland--is that the main headquarters there

3:47 am

grannyrose

some of them were from here in melbourne, but i agree a lot were in queensland.

3:48 am

grannyrose

just about every town/city of any size in australia has a returned servicemen's league, or RSL.

3:49 am

dizgrannie

nothing special. Had 2 of the g/dtrs and they lurved watching the march on TV.....they got excited when their g/g/dads (my Dad) battalion go thru....even tho he passed before they were born. I believe in instilling the Legend in the young ones

3:50 am

puglet

Rose do you have women serving in the services there

3:51 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs, in all branches.

3:51 am

puglet

I didnt see a one on any of those pictures

3:54 am

grannyrose

they are still the minority, pugs, but they are there.

3:54 am

dizgrannie

pugs, the women may not have fought but did many things on the home front for those away at the war.

3:54 am

dizgrannie

some say the women held our country together whilst the troops were away.

3:57 am

puglet

sounds about like our women in the earlier times

3:59 am

puglet

Rose was your DIL rude to you

4:01 am

grannyrose

no pugs, iam left wondering if she may have been a little tipsy? shall we say? it was as if nothing had happened. she even kissed me good-bye.

4:02 am

puglet

good. that must of been a relief then

4:03 am

grannyrose

yes it was...but i still don't like being attacked like that. next time i will listen to my husband and leave it alone.

4:04 am

puglet

I dont bl5 you there--Just glad the storm has blown over...yeah Don was right-lol

4:07 am

grannyrose

i should lnow by now that he gives the best advice....* rueful grin *

4:08 am

4:53 am

puglet

5:31 am

Ive been fighting this server all morning

5:31 am

puglet

Hi crossy

5:33 am

grannyrose

5:34 am

puglet

have they found anything yet Rose

5:34 am

puglet

they havent talked about it here for awhile

5:35 am

grannyrose

nothing seen here, pugs. have to wait for the weather to settle.

5:35 am

puglet

that is the oddest thing that not one little item has been spotted

5:36 am

puglet

maybe aliens have tookin it

5:37 am

grannyrose

not really pugs, they are searching an area larger than the us of a, sweetie. and deeper than the grand canyon.

5:37 am

puglet

though its not funny and I feel for all those families wanting news

5:38 am

grannyrose

pugs, we should be praying for them....that the families find closure, and peace.

5:38 am

puglet

5:39 am

puglet

5:42 am

puglet

it all is very sad thats for sure---so many hurting people the world over

5:43 am

grannyrose

pugs??? do you think we are in the end times?? it sure looks like it. Our Lord didn't give us a clue how long the end times would last.

5:44 am

puglet

well Rose all I can say to that is the Bible does point to these things going on

5:46 am

grannyrose

there is so much heart-ache, so much terror, so much hurt happening. i am not afraid to die...but i don't see the necessity of all this hurt...and sorrow.

5:46 am

puglet

my sister bought me this huge and I mean huge jug of powder protien drink to build me up and its godawful---but Iam trying to take it to please her and it wasent cheap but will be so very glad when its gone--lol

5:46 am

grannyrose

*giggle* glad it is you, dear, and not me!!

5:47 am

puglet

LOl--thanks Rose--I cant get anyone to share it with

5:47 am

crosshair

I would take a look into the specialty protein bars puglet and compare a single bar to a glass of that powder mix

5:47 am

crosshair

the bars are tastier

5:48 am

puglet

its kind of too late now and I hate to waste the stuff and the money she paid for it

5:48 am

grannyrose

now there is a problem....okay, pugs...*steps up to the mark* put me down for a few glasses of it. * gag, gag, gag*

5:48 am

puglet

oh thanks so much Rose--lol

5:49 am

grannyrose

5:50 am

puglet

5:51 am

crosshair

5:56 am

crosshair

5:56 am

crosshair

5:56 am

crosshair

I mentioned how she loves her ice cream to the doc when he told her the numbers, so she snitched on how I love bacon and salty snacks

5:57 am

puglet

5:58 am

crosshair

if I pounded protein like that, I would end up weighing 600 pounds

6:00 am

puglet

well Iam using it in place of a meal

6:00 am

puglet

and its only 150 cals

6:01 am

crosshair

thank you, but no thank you. I like my food and until they force me to a dietician, I will carry on:)

6:01 am

puglet

well the door is open for the help anytime--lol

6:02 am

crosshair

lol. Well, I cannot delay much longer. This test must be done next week.

6:02 am

crosshair

and I am telling you right now; they will have to pry my eggs from my cold, dead hands.

6:02 am

puglet

try fasting before going in-lol

6:02 am

grannyrose

awww, poor crossy. my dear friend...our age catches up with us sooner or later.

6:03 am

crosshair

It does, indeed

6:04 am

puglet

I refuse to have to stay alive by pills and shots---Iam just not going to live that way

6:04 am

crosshair

fasting the night before will just skew the numbers, will it not?

6:04 am

grannyrose

small consolation crossy. latest research shows eggs are good for us.

6:04 am

crosshair

3 or four slices of toast slathered in honey an hour before;)

6:05 am

crosshair

yes, it is interesting how eggs and butter are off the naughty list again

6:05 am

puglet

ah yeah that will give you some great numbers on your sugar

6:05 am

grannyrose

oh, yum!!! i remember honey! and real butter ! all the good stuff, in my book anyways.

6:06 am

grannyrose

crossy, pugs, they have finally realised how the manufactured stuff is sooo bad.

6:06 am

crosshair

I gave up on margerines. They have become such a chemical shait storm , that I now consider pure, creamery butter the lesser of two evils

6:07 am

puglet

I hardly eat bread so that dont really bother me

6:08 am

grannyrose

crossy, you are so right. margarine is actually one step short of plastic. not something i would eat voluntarily.

6:08 am

crosshair

Crossy has a weakness for fresh baked break and crusty Italian loafs and those wonderful, Kaiser buns:)

6:08 am

crosshair

bread*

6:08 am

puglet

I try stearing away from any products thats in a box--I go for fresh or frozen as much as I can

6:09 am

grannyrose

yay, pugs, good for you!!

6:09 am

crosshair

they always say to stay in the outer asiles only; the veggies, the meat/fish then onto dairy and avoid all the processed stuff

6:10 am

crosshair

I know things like hot dogs, bologna and similar processed meats now burn a hole in my belly

6:10 am

rubyfoo

6:10 am

grannyrose

6:10 am

puglet

6:14 am

rubyfoo

Oh Ruby let me send you some of my protien drink

6:19 am

crosshair

I saw a good one that I am going to try soon. You get a baking tray and shred about half a pound of your favorite cheese(s) on the tray and spread it in an even coating, then you add your favorite herbs and spices for potatos, then take a bag of baby tates and cut them in half length-wise and set them cut side down on the bed of cheese and bake in the oven ad 400 f for 20-30 min:0

6:19 am

rubyfoo

mny thanks, but no thank you, pugs I get plenty of protein as I am an egg-eater

6:19 am

grannyrose

my bro always claims he lost 10kgs when he stopped low joule drinks...my guess he drank too much of them...but i am only a hospital-educated nurse, with no degree...and he is a university graduate in computer sciences....what would i know?

6:20 am

crosshair

6:20 am

rubyfoo

6:20 am

puglet

I didnt think it was for me either

6:21 am

crosshair

my brother was drinking two 2 litre bottles of coke a day and weight 360 pounds. Just by giving that up and doing nothing else, he lost 100 pounds

6:21 am

rubyfoo

6:21 am

grannyrose

i am consuming at least 6 eggs/week...and loving it...

6:21 am

crosshair

here, ruby, they sell new white and red potatos in plastic 2 pund packages instead of loose

6:22 am

crosshair

6:22 am

puglet

6:22 am

crosshair

I, on average, eat two eggs every other day

6:23 am

6:27 am

rubyfoo

I don't much like egg whites so just eat the ylks and our sea salt butter is wonderful

6:27 am

rubyfoo

Unfortunately, the packaged bread is poor

6:28 am

rubyfoo

and unless you buy bread from the bakery, first thing in the AM, it's nt worth eating

6:28 am

crosshair

6:28 am

crosshair

God?

godthaab

hahhahaha

8:26 am

Foffle

lol well tell us then

8:28 am

godthaab

Plame, Valeria Plame. There was a huge scandal in the US because she leaked sensitive information to her diplomat husband regarding Nigeria and Iraq and uranium.

8:29 am

Foffle

hasn't reached the news here but I'm sure it will

8:31 am

o-o

That is one spin

8:32 am

o-o

A Bush admin was convicted of outing an agent

8:33 am

o-o

Bush commuted the sentence and Cheney was irate that his man did not get a pardon

8:34 am

godthaab

I think this happened in 2005 (?)

8:35 am

jmcnrick

*tiptoes in wearing a groucho marx mask for a disguise*

8:36 am

tuco

she didn't leak sensitive information. Dick Cheney exposed her covert status to the news media.

8:36 am

MollyL

I thought Richard Armitage gave up her CIA status to the Post reporter

8:37 am

armitage was not convicted

jmcnrick

until that year i had never known anyone who had traveled outside North America that wasn't in the military. . .

8:55 am

MLFAN17

jmc i love to travel but i wont do it anymore becaue of the checks they do at the airports

8:56 am

jmcnrick

i agree mlf with that. . .that is part of why i drive pretty much every where in the US. . . no worth the hassle. . .

8:57 am

2:21 pm

Nef

DRAT! I need to stay in the PB today!

2:21 pm

MollyL

4 points for Nef

2:22 pm

MollyL

Poor Nef, she banishes herself

2:26 pm

Nef

*someone* has to do it when I'm having one of those days, Molly

2:26 pm

MollyL

It's okay Nef, we'll give you a pass. The PB is kind of a lonely place these days. No one mentions it much anymore.

2:27 pm

Nef

that's why it's a nice place to visit; bring your own treats and gain weight eating them! ;-)

2:29 pm

MollyL

Well, if you're going in, you should put the cabana boys to work. They are getting fat and lazy from lack of interest.

2:30 pm

rururocks

I always get mixed up between the cabana boys and the monkeys

2:31 pm

Nef

is there a difference, ruru? (both kind of creep me out)

2:33 pm

Nef

I'll use cabana boys for cleaning the yard & pool in there; but I'm not into sunbathing, being fanned, nor even being fed bonbons

2:34 pm

rururocks

Probably in the way they walk nef..although i have been known to drag my knuckles occasionally

2:35 pm

jesdraggon

*wanders back in* are we passing out cabana boys?

2:35 pm

Nef

(I kind of wish they could come do my spring cleaning at my house; I'll bet they could do that!)

2:36 pm

Nef

I'm passing on using their services in the PB, jes.

2:37 pm

jesdraggon

why's that, Nef?

2:39 pm

Nef

Like I said before, jes; I'm not into sunbathing, being fanned, etc. But I'd have them do the cleaning of the pool and area

2:40 pm

jesdraggon

hmm... do they come with a pool? That'd be nice.

2:40 pm

MollyL

Nef isn't into personal adulation. She even rejects tiaras. : O

2:41 pm

Nef

very true, Molly. (don't forget; a tiara would ruin my hair!)

2:41 pm

Nef

you do know that there is a pool in the PB, right, jes?

2:42 pm

jesdraggon

i didn't know, Nef... the PB keeps gettin' fancier and fancier

2:43 pm

MollyL

Nef, a properly set tiara never ruins properly done hair. Otherwise, princesses everywhere would have "ruined hair".

2:43 pm

harpjane

hello 192 to go

2:43 pm

Nef

well, the PB is whatever you make it, right? It's always evolving. Molly thinks it's under-used these days

2:44 pm

Nef

Hi harp!

2:44 pm

MollyL

I knew there was a hot tub in the PB. I was unaware of the indoor pool. That must be a recent addition.

2:45 pm

Nef

Molly, who said my hair is properly done? It stands straight up! ;-)

2:46 pm

Nef

Oh! I don't know about an indoor pool; I've always liked an outdoor pool

2:47 pm

jesdraggon

*contemplates photoshopping a tiara on Nef's avatar*

2:48 pm

Nef

AAAGGHHH! No, No Jes!!!

2:48 pm

Nef

I nearly went bald wearing a nursing cap; I don't DO headcoverings

2:49 pm

MollyL

See, she can't handle the glory of tiara wearing.

2:49 pm

jesdraggon

but it's not a head covering, per se.... it's an adornment! :D

2:50 pm

Nef

bbbut it has to hook on the hair! That's what I can't do

2:51 pm

MollyL

*Wonders how much money Nef spends on extra hold hair gel*

2:51 pm

Nef

"Product" Molly, Product

2:52 pm

MollyL

Sorry Nef, I don't do trendy, over used buzz words.
: D

2:54 pm

Nef

"Wicked Wax", "Liquid Steel" etc.

2:55 pm

jesdraggon

"Bed Head"?

2:55 pm

MollyL

*Considers a new na4 for Nef...Spike*

2:57 pm

Nef

My hair isn't blue, but it definitely is spiked. (And it isn't as full as my atavar's either)

2:57 pm

Nef

atavar; avatar? Which one do I mea** now? (I'm so confusedâ€¦.)

2:58 pm

harpjane

which m starts the ma7 please?

2:59 pm

jesdraggon

starts with the same 4 as having mites.

2:59 pm

Nef

the top one, harp

2:59 pm

harpjane

thanks

2:59 pm

jesdraggon

oh, sorry, I misunderstood the question

2:59 pm

Erda

middle of second row

3:01 pm

Nef

I've found 100 words now; and (as you can probably tell since I'm chatting so much) I haven't found another word for quite a while now

3:01 pm

MollyL

I'm lost. There is no M in the second row.

3:02 pm

harpjane

where does the ma6 start? which m? (I'll give you a few moments to review the question this time)

3:02 pm

Nef

It's from the top M, erda. It could be spelled with the 2nd column M also but words always come from the first letter it can be made from

3:03 pm

Erda

vertically speaking, Molly

3:03 pm

Nef

the top M again, harp

3:03 pm

harpjane

thanks

3:03 pm

MollyL

Oh, a vertical row, how silly of me. : )

3:03 pm

Erda

it works both ways, actually

3:06 pm

harpjane

nbs finally

3:07 pm

Nef

wtg, harp!

3:07 pm

MollyL

A word can work both ways. But you will only get tile stat credit for the first letter it can be made from. So sayeth the Babble Lo4s.

3:09 pm

harpjane

do7 please?

3:09 pm

jesdraggon

rururocks

I think my keyboard burnt up

3:51 pm

jesdraggon

Have you tried running it through the clothes dryer?

3:53 pm

rururocks

the hair dryer seems to be doing the trick

3:53 pm

Nef

back. Funny you should say water accident, ruru; my neighbor was at the door just now and his basement was flooding from a backed-up downspout that poured water into the basement window

3:54 pm

Nef

And he needs to replace the kitchen sink too

3:54 pm

bichon

Today Nef?

3:55 pm

Nef

just now, bichon

3:55 pm

bichon

Does he have to replace the sink right now?

3:55 pm

bichon

A clogged downspout is easy if you have a ladder

3:57 pm

Nef

oh, sorry. The basement just flooded; the kitchen sink is a job we will help him with (he's an IT specialist; not the least bit handy; and I've helped him with house repairs since he bought the place (first time he ever owned a house

3:58 pm

bichon

And he can help you your IT problems

3:58 pm

jesdraggon

You're such a nice neighbor, Nef

3:59 pm

Nef

the downspout is his neighbors; it's plugged; the gutter overflowed and drained to the low spot between their houses and then ran into my neighbors' window well and got in the basement

3:59 pm

Nef

Heee! I just talked my son into helping with the kitchen sink! YAY!!!

4:00 pm

MollyL

*Removes all beverages from the computer area, indefinitely*

My son is brewing beer in the kitchen; I'm staying out of his way (mostly)

4:20 pm

bichon

Does he have his own label Nef?

4:21 pm

Soodle

((((Nef)))) a beer brewing son is surely something to be envied! I have a beer swilling son....

4:22 pm

Nef

no. But he seems to like making it (I don't drink it; too hoppy. I have my glass of Guinness on St. Patrick's day, maybe a glass of wine once or twice a year & that's it

4:23 pm

MimiCat

(((SOODLE)))

Evidently it's pretty good; but he says he's brewing this for his annual camp out with somefriends in June I guess

I have a recipe that my father gave my DH for his home brew. My son laughed when I gave it to him; he said that by the looks of it, it wasn't good beer

4:26 pm

MimiCat

OK...gone again...need to concentrate on movie. Just glad to see our Soodle here....â–¼

4:27 pm

Yes, we get BBC America

4:36 pm

Nef

I don't like scary movies.. I've reached the point that I pretty much skip movies now

4:37 pm

bichon

I like something with an edge. Our current favorite is "The Americans"

4:38 pm

Nef

I have nightmares from movies; I just don't "get" the whole wanting to be scared thing

4:40 pm

bichon

There are certain scary shows or movies I won't watch, like "Alien"

4:57 pm

Soodle

(((Peri))) Hi. Sorry I missed you. I was busy making an omlette!!

4:58 pm

Soodle

And a very nice omlete it was, too!

4:59 pm

rururocks

Is this the Food Network or babble?

4:59 pm

jaxx7

Soodle. Just to cheer you and River up, I watched Country File tonight and the weather from Thursday on is set to get cold, even frosty.

5:00 pm

Nef

what did you put in your omlete, Soodle?

5:01 pm

jaxx7

Lots of layers the order of the day. You can always take clothes off (calm down ru) to get cool but it is hard to get warm in a similar way.

5:02 pm

Soodle

Well.... I made sure the pan was ultra hot! I battered the eggs to within an inch of their lives... And added mozzerella, peppers, chopped onions and some ham. Delush!

5:03 pm

Soodle

Hey (((jaxx)))

5:04 pm

jaxx7

Hey, soodle

5:05 pm

MollyL

Delush...anything tasty that goes down after two bottles of wine : D

5:05 pm

periwinkle

I am still missing 2 of the 7's

5:05 pm

periwinkle

did I miss something? who had two bottles of wine?

5:05 pm

periwinkle

87 left and stuck

5:06 pm

MollyL

Just a funny take on "delush" Peri

5:07 pm

periwinkle

damn, went to lickety and right off were two easy words that I missed

5:07 pm

Nef

I think that I make very good omelets myself. I learned how by listening to a radio program! It was a local show, they were interviewing the "Princess Kay of the Milky Way" (a MN dairy farm girl, usually just out of high school) and she taught the interviewer how to make good omeletes, You should have heard that pan sizzle!

5:07 pm

periwinkle

ah, ok, Molls

5:07 pm

Soodle

Meh. Meant to say 'Delish'...

5:08 pm

Nef

this is a tough grid (again)

5:11 pm

Soodle

That's it Nef. The secret is in the hotness (heat?) of the pan & the fluffiness of the eggs.

5:12 pm

periwinkle

well I just learned how to make a better omelet. only eat them every once in a while

5:12 pm

Nef

I add just a tbsp. of water to my eggs when I beat them

5:12 pm

Uneaixoise

pa5/16 please?

5:12 pm

periwinkle

help with the an6 pls

5:13 pm

periwinkle

does that make a difference, Nef?

5:13 pm

Nef

(I was over 30 before I learned to do it right. DH had never made omeletes like that; he does his in the oven and bakes them -I don't think those are really omeletes though)

5:14 pm

MollyL

an6...an + protein gives you en**** (liveliness)

5:15 pm

Minveryork

pa5/16 word rhymes with ma 5/16 word periwinkle & hi!

5:15 pm

Nef

Nuclear an**** provides some electrcity

5:15 pm

MollyL

And Une, you can use that clue too. : D

5:16 pm

Nef

the water does add some fluffiness to the eggs, peri. Some people use milk, but it makes the egg protein tough

5:16 pm

Uneaixoise

got it -- thanks!!

5:17 pm

periwinkle

I don't really want a fluffy omelet just an omelet

5:17 pm

Nef

hi Min.

5:17 pm

MollyL

Just eggs in my omelettes. No milk, no water.

5:18 pm

periwinkle

bbl

5:18 pm

Nef

well; it isn't spongey peri. If you make omeletes, try 1 with the water and 1 without and see which you like better

5:30 pm

Soodle

Oh no no no. No milk. Water. And a dash of salt and pepper. Now, if your making scrambled eggs... Then swoosh in the milk! (Thats a culinary term... Swoosh!))

5:30 pm

Nef

I've never put milk in scrambled eggs; I'll have to try that next time

5:32 pm

Nef

It was raining this AM, so I didn't want to go to church. Mass is at 6PM and the rain had let up; but it's starting in again. :-( I will be going then; (I was hoping to miss the rain)

5:33 pm

stidgmere

Hello. Just getting started on the grid from the remote Northwest. Very April showery day.

5:34 pm

Nef

Hi stidg. Same here;

5:37 pm

rururocks

1 tablespoon of milk.. makes them fluffier

5:37 pm

rururocks

and more poofy

5:38 pm

MollyL

Oh well, more poofy it is then.

5:39 pm

rururocks

poofy is important

5:39 pm

MollyL

2 tablespoons of milk if you want them re-poofy?

5:39 pm

rururocks

two tablespoons is too much poof

5:40 pm

MollyL

Refried beans if you want them poof inducing?

5:40 pm

Nef

well time to go. BBL. Happy Babbling !

5:40 pm

rururocks

bye nef

5:40 pm

rururocks

refried beans doesn't exactly make poof

5:40 pm

stidgmere

Hi Nef. I'm watching Murphy out front walking throughthe greenest grass this side of Ireland. We're going to have to rev up the lawnmower this week.

5:41 pm

So true ruru. The daffys and tulips are nearly done for this year.

5:42 pm

rururocks

I have a gardener once a week.. so I've got it easy

5:43 pm

MollyL

I brought the last of my daffodils inside today so we could enjoy them before they withered away.

5:44 pm

MollyL

I know someone who had a gardener once a week. Her husband didn't know about it though.

5:44 pm

jaxx7

The crab apple tree is loaded with fragrant blossom and bees

5:44 pm

stidgmere

We had the nicestly blooms this year. The winter must have been just right for the bulbs.

5:44 pm

stidgmere

Glad to hear the bees are out in sync with the bloos, jaxx.

5:45 pm

rururocks

Bet her bushes were neatly trimmed huh?

5:45 pm

jaxx7

They are nearly all bumble bees though, stidgmere. Honey bees have almost disappeared in this part of the world sadly

5:46 pm

stidgmere

I love bumble bees, they seem to cruise the same flowers day after day.

5:47 pm

negativeneil

Hey ru.

5:48 pm

jaxx7

These are the redtailed variety. Medium size bumble bees. The huge 'flying hamster' type zoom through at regular intervals but don't seem to like crab apples.

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

Trying to finish this and get to bed!...LOL

9:44 pm

Jillyjill

How are you nef?

9:44 pm

Jillyjill

And how is DH?

9:45 pm

Nef

I love AAA for problem cars. We were going to go to church this evening (it's been raining all day, very heavy this AM) and my car was dead!

9:46 pm

Nef

So it seems that DH hadn't shut his d4 tight and the battery was dead

9:47 pm

Nef

A simple jump and it's now okay; and I'll be having breakfast with my sister and Aunt after church tomorrow AM

9:47 pm

Jillyjill

Well, good for them to come and jump a car, but not so good for towing in places where we can be distance out. It is limited coverage

9:48 pm

Nef

they tow for free (for us) for about 5 miles; and then they add a charge/mile after that here

9:48 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations 72 Temple Owl on fireworks! Good for U!

9:50 pm

Nef

hi again, Min

9:55 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you? Did you have a relaxing Sunday?

Minveryork

10:10 pm

Nef

I've already checked it out earlier, Min. I did get 1 word from it; so thank you!

10:12 pm

Nef

And I'm trying to use morewords, but I am so goofy from staring at the grid I can''t put in the right number of blanks to find my words!

10:15 pm

Minveryork

When Babble becomes stressful, that is when I quit. It is supposed to be fun,not stressful.Don't care about ranks

10:16 pm

Nef

Same here. I just get bored with FB and some other games; so I kind of rotate in and out here .

10:18 pm

Nef

I just now found that last 7 letter word; I think I'll try for another 1/2 hour and then head to bed
