gapeach

Hey there, puglet.

1:50 am

worzel

Good morning pugs xxxx (((hugs)))

1:50 am

grannyrose

he's fine. we don't know what happened. my guess is he overheated in the garage.

1:51 am

Lizlin

Glad he's OK.

1:51 am

worzel

Was unaware Dad was unwell - send him my love Mum xx

1:51 am

grannyrose

well he's been out there again for most of the day. we are due for a hard rubbish collection.

1:52 am

Lizlin

Quick! Take him a cold drink!

1:52 am

grannyrose

he's fine worzel. he threw up yesterday, after working very hard out in the garage.

1:53 am

worzel

Oh my - just found out that Sunday is International Naked Day!!!! Wahayyyy!!! Oooo, hang on - I've just remember what my neighbour looks like - maybe not!!

1:53 am

grannyrose

he's back in again, liz. and he has shut the garage up. i think he's in for the night. lol...sounds like the family dog, doesn't it?

1:53 am

Lizlin

Maybe going naked to the meetings I have to go to this Sunday is not a good idea.

1:54 am

Lizlin

woof!

1:54 am

worzel

Oh go on Liz - they'll enjoy it!

1:54 am

Lizlin

They might but would I???

1:55 am

worzel

Yea - it's all good clean fun - hell, I'm even gonna stay naked all day round the house!!!! Nowt new there then really . . .

1:55 am

Lizlin

Sounds like fun to me, worz :)

1:56 am

worzel

Mind you, I don't wana scare me budgie . . .

1:56 am

Lizlin

OK - guests for dinner tonight, so will be popping in and out until they arrive - stuff to do. Hopefully catch you later or tomorrow xxx

1:56 am

grannyrose

poor diane, she'll think all her christmases have come at once...lolol

1:57 am

grannyrose

*thinks* wonders what budgie thinks when worzel puts the speedos on? instead of the mankini?

1:57 am

worzel

Poor being the operative word - she actually thinks I have a nice body!!! Must be the cataracts playing up again . . .

1:58 am

worzel

i may be mad enough to wear a mankini but as for speedos - dear lord, just imagine!

2:01 am

worzel

Men make you laugh, don't they? I mean, you see some really fit blokes on beaches in speedos, fair enough, then you see grandpa Joe, aged 60, 320 pounds, squeezed into the tiniest pair of budgie smugglers in existence, putting it all out there, looking even worse than I do (which isn't saying much). I know women wear sexy bikinis sometimes, but at least they're not as exhibitionist as us men. If u look at the animal kingdom it's always the females that show off their "plumage" to attract a suitor, but humans seems to be the other way round and with some of the plumage out their they'll never get plucked, so to speak . . .

2:03 am

mixi6

birds generally the male is more colorful.

2:04 am

puglet

Wor, what about the male peacock? He has all the beautiful feathers and struts pretty proudly with them--lol

2:05 am

puglet

Hi Mix

2:05 am

worzel

That's true, pug, but at least he's worth looking at, not like some of the scary things you see on British beaches! I shouldn't generalise, though. People should feel free to wear as they choose, no matter what their appearance. 'Tis scary at times though *giggle*

2:06 am

worzel

Morning mix xxxx

2:06 am

worzel

Mum I just sent dad card when it comes can u let him open it 4 me please hun? xx

2:06 am

puglet

where I live, I dont have those sights-lol

2:07 am

rururocks

I think worzel is getting plumage confused with cleavage.

2:07 am

grannyrose

2:14 am

Iam on a roll this morning--knocked over my coffee and then stubbed my toe on the bed foot--lol

2:15 am

sprite

aw sweetie, one of those days huh. Try taking your time over everything. And be kind to yourself.

2:22 am

sprite

what happened to rose and pugs and ruru?

2:22 am

puglet

Iam in the grid-lol

2:23 am

puglet

I need one more 7 and I will have all the biggies

2:23 am

sprite

woot, good job

2:24 am

grannyrose

checking emails, sorry, girls.

2:24 am

sprite

lol ok, rose. Did you get mine yesterday?

2:24 am

puglet

I got so disgusted with myself on yesterday's grid--lol

2:24 am

grannyrose

7's are bo, el, ta

2:25 am

sprite

pugs... you shouldn't be. Be nice to yourself. I mean it. So... yesterday's grid didn't go well. Could be the grid, could be hormones, could be the new meds, could be any of a thousand other things. Don't blame yourself.

2:26 am

grannyrose

sprite, last email i received from you was on the 29/4

2:26 am

puglet

and it could be my brain--lol

2:26 am

sprite

sounds about right, I think, rose... the one in answer to your question.

2:27 am

grannyrose

yes, hun. got it, then, thanx

2:27 am

sprite

nope pugs, because on other days your brain works perfectly. So don't try and find a reason and don't blame yourself, consider it like one of those things that just happen. You know... rain. Rude people. Not seeing babble words. Shrug it off :)

2:28 am

sprite

good, rose :)

2:29 am

sprite

btw, looks like another -ing- grid is in the make.

2:32 am

puglet

Yesterday my sugar was down to 106! So when I go back to doc, I just might get off the meds! Which Iam hoping for.

2:33 am

sprite

pugs, darling, it shows that the meds are working and that you are being good about what you eat and drink. I would be very surprised if you would be taken off the meds already.

2:33 am

grannyrose

i don't want you to be disappointed, pugs. it is a marvellous result, of course. but it might the medications which have brought the sugars down so well.

2:33 am

sprite

snap, rose

2:34 am

grannyrose

* giggle * snap sprite

2:34 am

puglet

what if I wean myself off of them and see what happens?

2:35 am

gapeach

brb

2:35 am

sprite

don't, pugs. Damage from too high sugar levels can be permanent. Don't do that to yourself.

2:35 am

grannyrose

tooo dangerous, sweetie. by all means ask your doctor.

2:36 am

puglet

I go back on the 14th and I will talk to her first

2:37 am

sprite

please do, pugs. You have had a big scare about your health, take it seriously and don't do anything rash. You'd be mad as hell at me when I would propose something like this.

2:39 am

puglet

true but I didnt know I had sugar and now that I do I can do what I have to and hope I can do it without aids--and no I wouldnt want you hurting yourself

2:41 am

sprite

we don't want you hurting yourself either, pugs. Please please be wise. Yes, you know you have sugar and you are better about your eating and drinking habits. But the illness remains. You barely started on your meds. Give it time!

2:42 am

puglet

dont worry I wont do anything rash or with out talking to the doctor

2:42 am

sprite

ok, darlilng pug. *hugs*

2:43 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} pugs. don't scare us like that, please.

2:43 am

sprite

^^ what rose says

2:44 am

puglet

Iam sorry I did--I just hate having to live on pills

2:44 am

grannyrose

i had a call from workcover today, checking how i went at work, and to tell me the results of their doctor examining me.

2:45 am

zoozzoom

*Comes out of stealth mode* Pugs do as you are told or i will be forced to put you across my knee young lady..There you have been told *back to stealth mode*

2:45 am

puglet

and?

2:45 am

sprite

pugs, I know that feeling. But give it time, you will get used to it. And remember that the sugar meds just do what your bo4 should do for itself, but can't anymore. It isn't a nasty chemical addition.

2:45 am

sprite

what did they say, rose?

2:46 am

puglet

LOL Zoom--I will --and hello Zoom--got your test results yet?

2:46 am

grannyrose

their doctor said it would take 3-6 more months before i am back at work fully. the insurer also said my weekly payments will continue as before.

2:46 am

sprite

very good, rose. Finally some common sense from that direction.

2:46 am

grannyrose

and i told them about how i was at work after only 1 1/2 hours.

2:47 am

sprite

very good, zooz, you tell her. *hugs* and hi.

2:47 am

puglet

good Rose

2:47 am

sprite

how did they react to that, rose?'

2:47 am

grannyrose

they have totally agreed to my 1-2 hour shifts.

2:48 am

puglet

Iam so glad they are working fairly with you Rose

2:48 am

sprite

very good! Well done, my friend, and pfew finally. Took them long enough.

2:49 am

grannyrose

they now realise just how hard it is for me to return to such a physically demanding job.

2:49 am

sprite

should have been obvious from the start. But hey, better late than never.

2:52 am

grannyrose

and well before i hurt myself again at work, trying to work hours my body couldn't handle.

2:52 am

sprite

yes. Been there, done that, got the freakin' T-shirt and burnt it.

2:53 am

sprite

burned*

2:54 am

sprite

fireflies.

2:55 am

grannyrose

3:14 am

grannyrose

Lizlin

3:14 am

puglet

its in the low 40's here

3:15 am

rubyfoo

It's not very cold here, just nasty. About 12C

3:15 am

puglet

towards the end of next week we are to hit some 80's

3:16 am

grannyrose

ugh, ruby. maybe mr nasty's rheumatics are playing up. hand him the pack of ibuprofen, and cross your fingers.

3:17 am

rubyfoo

He doesn't seem to have that kind of problem, rose, it's all in his head, can't remember what day it is and refers to the calendars constantly

3:17 am

puglet

Has your guest done came and gone Liz

3:17 am

rubyfoo

He's totally unsure of himself, asks my permission for everything, blames himself constantly

3:19 am

rubyfoo

It's all age-related stuff and although I know he can't help it, it' very hard to live with

3:19 am

marigold

go

3:19 am

grannyrose

ruby, irritating as it is, at least he is trying to orientate himself. and he will need to confirm with you, sweetie. please don't give into the intolerance. you are above that.

3:19 am

puglet

Hi Mari

3:19 am

rubyfoo

gm mari

3:20 am

grannyrose

g'day mari. nice to see you

3:20 am

rubyfoo

I know, but I have my own issues, so I just try not to engage when he gets angry, and walk away

3:20 am

marigold

hi everyone

3:21 am

grannyrose

ruby, don is only 60 (just) but you would think he was in his 80's. some days i could just scream. i'm the one who needs the TLC, not hime. *sigh*

3:21 am

Lizlin

Hi Mari

3:22 am

grannyrose

and, of course, you have all my love and support, ruby. i know it's hard. if you need to chat, for goodness sake, take five, and yell it all at me.

3:23 am

rubyfoo

3:39 am

6:37 am

flosey

hi Crossy

6:41 am

flosey

turned on the outside lights so if someone needs us, they can come back - our neighbours are really not close, they'd be more apt to phone if we were needed

6:43 am

crosshair

yes, if you are in the boonies, a middle of the night knock at the door would be a rare thing

6:43 am

flosey

our lane from the road is almost 1/4 mile long to the house

6:44 am

6:44 am

flosey

6:45 am

crosshair

my da had a hobby farm once with a driveway that was like that. Just getting out to do shopping in the winter was sometimes an epic adventure in itself

6:45 am

crosshair

doing well flosey, and you?

6:46 am

flosey

doing well also

6:46 am

crosshair

we used to have to stake the driveway on both side with reflective poles every 25 feet or so, so we could plow a straing line in the winter when it drifed over

6:47 am

crosshair

straight

6:47 am

flosey

we were snowed in once but of course, living this way, we are prepared for whatever and our main road is first to be plowed because it's ferry route

6:47 am

crosshair

yes, my da used to shop for a month, just in case

6:47 am

flosey

lol, read that without realizing

6:48 am

flosey

7:12 pm

Lizlin

Very true - sitting in a food mall - watching 4 girls, in their late teens early 20s,sit down and immediately get out their phones - even when their food was in front of them. No conversation there!

7:13 pm

Lizlin

Mine is usually on but rarely used.

7:13 pm

Lizlin

Probably would've used it more in the UK.

7:13 pm

MollyL

I see that in restaurants all the time. It's sad.

7:14 pm

Lizlin

Very sad - I think it was the total lack of conversation that got me.

7:14 pm

penquis

i have seen many a couple doing the same thing at restaurants....

Lizlin

A 10 yr old boy - son of a friend, couldn't believe that my hubby and I don't take selfies!

7:15 pm

penquis

it kind of sends the message that there might be someone more interesting than you sending me a message...

7:15 pm

bookwomen

mine stays in the car. I just do not want to fall the mountain and have noone find me because I do not have a phone.

7:15 pm

MollyL

I think it is the worst kind of rude to sit across a table from someone and be glued to your phone.

7:15 pm

Lizlin

I agree.

7:16 pm

Lizlin

I first got my mobile for when I was in my car on my own - in case I ever needed help.

7:17 pm

MollyL

People look at me funny if my cell phone rings in my purse while I'm in line at the store and I don't answer it.

7:18 pm

bookwomen

My phone only makes call to no fancy stuff. Works great for travel and emergencies but otherwise stays off.

7:18 pm

Lizlin

Probably can't believe it's in your bag not your hand or your pocket!

7:18 pm

MollyL

: D I never thought of that Liz

7:18 pm

Lizlin

I use mine as a camera if i'm out and don't have a camera with me.

7:20 pm

penquis

i just bring it with me when i go out in the car...but it's turned off...

7:21 pm

MollyL

I'd love to be able to leave mine off, but it needs to be on for work reasons and kid reasons. But most of my calls go to voice mail until I am somewhere I can take a call without treating the general public to my conversation.

7:21 pm

Lizlin

Most of my calls are to my hubby - so romantic!

7:23 pm

Lizlin

Usually if I go somewhere without him at night.

7:28 pm

bookwomen

nice chatting with you w/o a phone. fireworks so I shall say good night.

7:28 pm

Lizlin

Congrats bookwomen :) Enjoy your evening.

7:30 pm

penquis

congrats!

7:38 pm

Lizlin

Weird - having to reenter quite a few 4 letter words, which I know I entered yesterday :(

7:40 pm

MollyL

I've seen others say similar things Liz. I think the server instability is causing people to lose words from their word lists.

7:41 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks!

7:42 pm

Lizlin

Thanks for the company - enjoy your evenings :)

7:42 pm

MollyL

Bye Liz, you do the same

7:53 pm

10:16 pm

Nef

so is anyone still here? (I greeted everyone and then son and grandson came in; so I left)

10:18 pm

TraderKate

hi nef, i just got back.. the intenet connection crapped out for a while, thought it was going to be gone for hours like last time, but only about an hour lost. how are you?

10:19 pm

Nef

I'm fine but really tired. Everyone is around here; I'm starting to wonder if it's the long winter?

10:20 pm

TraderKate

extended range cabin fever combined with SAD... i'm the ssame here, just blah... of course, like scrabs, we have had a week of rain nad another 4 days to come (at least...) grrrrrrr

10:22 pm

MLFAN17

hello

10:22 pm

Nef

We've had over 7 inches of rain here this past week; I think we had 15 minutes of sunshine todayâ€¦..

10:23 pm

TraderKate

i wonder how our baltimore babblers are coping... did you see the road give way like an elongated sink hole??? glad i'm not living by the river!

10:23 pm

Nef

hi MLF

10:23 pm

MLFAN17

hi Nef

10:23 pm

RoundBarn

hi Nef--did you get my email a while back? Do you know anything abt the bucks in the envelope? Volume 3 rinal came tonight! It looks great--but I'm rejecting it--the cover is too woward ourple, and the whole edition looks a litle tacky bsides the others. So (to be continued)

10:23 pm

TraderKate

we have not had any sun this entire calendar year, i swear! IT'S BEEN AWFUL :(

10:24 pm

TraderKate

HI NEF, HI BARN :)

10:24 pm

TraderKate

oops...

10:25 pm

MLFAN17

i need 2 more G words and no idea what they are

10:25 pm

Nef

Hi RoundBarn. I got your email, and I responded. I sent you some $$$ for the Volume 1 that I gave to my friend for her birthday;

10:25 pm

TraderKate

i have all the g's mlf

10:27 pm

MLFAN17

i have all 4s and one 5

10:27 pm

Nef

I have 5 G's, 2 are pls.

10:28 pm

RoundBarn

Hi, all you! pardon bad spelling. What I'm rejecting is the Amazon call-up-on-order, you'll get a book in a day or two. But the paper looks bad, the pix muddy, I can wait anaoterh 30 days for lovely volumes from Thompson shores, and forget about anyone pulling up inferior volumes on amazon. Yhey can get the good ones on Amaxon in a month.

10:28 pm

TraderKate

both g 5's are pl mlf...

10:28 pm

MLFAN17

nef i have go 5/14 which is a plural so one i am missing is definitily a 5:)

10:29 pm

Nef

Okay; I am looking forward to the next 2 volumes! :-)

10:29 pm

TraderKate

do you have a gi 4?

10:29 pm

TraderKate

they are both go 5/14

10:29 pm

MLFAN17

okay i got the other go5

10:29 pm

RoundBarn

Nef, did I ever send the book?? I owe you a book then, or was it two? I didn't get your response, par for the course for me.

10:29 pm

Nef

MLF, I have 2 go 5/14s

10:29 pm

MLFAN17

yes i have a gi 4/6

10:30 pm

MLFAN17

nef have both go 5/14s now

10:30 pm

TraderKate

go 4/7
go4/6
go5?14
go4/6
go5/14
go 4/8
go 4/7

10:31 pm

MLFAN17

i have go 4/8 then a 4/6 after the first go 5/14

10:31 pm

TraderKate

i put them in alphabetical order mlf

10:33 pm

MLFAN17

can you clue the go 4/7 but thats if it has two of them as i do have one go 4/7 already

10:33 pm

Nef

RB, I did get the book. I got a total of 3 books from you; you gave me one and I bought the Vol 1 and 2 after the convention. I asked you to deduct the cost of Vol. 2 from my "salary" and then sent you the price of the 3rd book separately (I think that was how it went)

10:34 pm

TraderKate

2 x go 4/7 beginning and end of the list...

10:34 pm

RoundBarn

so are we ok Nef? When Vol 3 comes I'll send as a gift.

10:34 pm

MLFAN17

yes my first go is a 4/7

10:35 pm

TraderKate

last one is "all that glisters is not ****"
often misquoted as all that glistens...

10:35 pm

MLFAN17

my last go is a 5

10:35 pm

RoundBarn

So I'll pocket the mustery money in the envelope--I seem to be writing in installments.

10:35 pm

TraderKate

i have listed all the go words in order mlf

10:35 pm

MLFAN17

thank you kate i got it!

10:36 pm

Nef

RB, we are okay now. I will pay for Vol. 3 and (when it comes out) Vol. 4 After all, you have to make a living from all the work you've put into it! :-)

10:36 pm

TraderKate

yqw mlf

10:37 pm

MLFAN17

el 7clue please?

10:38 pm

RoundBarn

I'll give you one and you can get others dirt cheap fir your giving needs. # is beautiful except the Amazon version isn't beautiful enough!

10:38 pm

TraderKate

sorry mlf, i don't have it yet (still 50 to go here...)

10:38 pm

MLFAN17

10:40 pm

TraderKate

10:41 pm

Nef

10:41 pm

torgone

To carry, colloqially

10:41 pm

torgone

colloquially

10:41 pm

TraderKate

woo hoo, ty again tor :)

10:42 pm

MLFAN17

torg huh?

10:42 pm

RoundBarn

I went to a morel dinner tonight, it must be affecting me. better get to bed--tomorrow is Innocence project banquet--my good friend larry started it here in Illinois and we hae freed a number of innocent people--met one this noon, she'd been in prison 26 years on evidence that she'd left her house open and that let the murderer in. Lots like hat. trumped up evidence to get a conviction.

10:43 pm

torgone

It's Yiddish ..

10:44 pm

Nef

Morel dinner? Oh RB, I envy you! LOVE morels!

10:45 pm

MLFAN17

torg i am sorry i just dont understand

10:45 pm

MLFAN17

i know what yiddish is/means

10:45 pm

Nef

Wow, RB. That sounds like a very worthwhile project!

10:46 pm

RoundBarn

they were ready to import them, then day before yest the morels began springing up. It was a Slo-Food banquet--every dish featured morels.

10:47 pm

Nef

We used to go out in the woods hunting them; but not anymore. SO for the past 5-6 years, we've had 1- 3 morels spring up in our front yard! But it's way too early for them here yet

10:48 pm

RoundBarn

The Innocense Proj IS so worthwhile. One just freed--convicted by a 16 yr old who claimed he'd raoed hre, later told him she;d made it up--he got a lawyer, he was in prison--and she talked to him again and the lawyer tapped her. Her family had got a million and a half gor an "unsaafe schoo " from the dostrict--sounds like her family put her up to it--they've spent all the money of course but the young man lost his darreer--

10:49 pm

Nef

wow. I'm always amazed at how dishonest some people are.

10:51 pm

TraderKate

what a horrible story rb!!!

10:52 pm

RoundBarn

well I'm talking a lot and spelling worse and worse--no alcohol--Nef, my Little Free Lirary is doing a booming business--I have to go to yard sales to pick up kids books and they all vanish. The kids in the school next door aren't very good yet at take one, leave one--jhey just take.

10:53 pm

RoundBarn

trqderkate, there are maany such stories. 5 per cent of people on death row are innocent--sounds like a small no but Texas has 271 on death row--

10:53 pm

Nef

RB, we have a couple around here. I'm glad yours is taking off; just think about how many kids are benefitting fromm it. Would you like some donations for it?

10:54 pm

Nef

that's terrible!

10:55 pm

RoundBarn

No, just books. I got the idea of having one, Nef, when I saw all the ones you had in Mlps, and then in Madison. Now they are springing up all over. Springfield just fired ALL thir elementary school librarians. We are the state capital. that's how much we balue education.

10:56 pm

TraderKate

rb... don't even mention capital punishment, it has led to arguements in the past... i don't agree with it at all...we have had a few very high profile wrongful convictions here too.. and many of them were in for decades! so sad :(

10:56 pm

Nef

I can send you some kids books. Ronald turned 5 today; he has outgrown some of the baby books

10:57 pm

Nef

And I don't think he'd ever want some of my daughters' books (she was into the girl books

11:00 pm

Nef

RB, I'll do a quick inventory and see what we have here and if my kids aren't interested in them, I'll email you a list. Will that work?

11:01 pm

RoundBarn

If it makes controversy on Babble I'll shut up--I notice many here are working for the angels, like mlfrick with her non profit to get rid of Citizens United. Oh, here's more from you--sure, I'll take'em, good or bad, but send them media mail!

11:02 pm

Nef

OK. I'll have some time tomorrow to look around and see what we have.

11:03 pm

TraderKate

there are indeed many tireless workers for the nprotected and down-troden here rb...just sometimes a little bomb goes off and it takes days for the dust to settle :(

11:04 pm

RoundBarn

The school kids have little brothers and sisters so young books are ok, and as for girly books--I fdound a barbie's ABD at a yard sale, full of Barboie all togged out for every letter--it vanished immediately and hasn't come back!!

11:04 pm

TraderKate

i would not discourage you from tlaking about the innocence project, it sounds likd a very worthwhile cause. we have one here much the same. maybe even a canadian arm of yours/

11:05 pm

Nef

LOL! Annie never got into Barbie books (thank goodness!) but she had a bunch of Barbie dolls.

11:05 pm

RoundBarn

the Innocence projects are teaming up, they all know each other. My friends oprob know the ones in your area.

11:06 pm

Nef

I'll bet a Barbie ABC book would definitelybe a treasure for some girl.

11:07 pm

RoundBarn

It was absolutely gorgeous! Ive got some great popup books but hesitate to put them out--they are so fragile.

11:07 pm

RoundBarn

an interesting thing--she schoolkids no longer seem to believe tje years old legend that I'm a with, they hang on the fence and talk to me about books.

11:08 pm

Nef

Yeah, the pop-up books wouldn't last in the little libraries.

11:08 pm

RoundBarn

witch, I mean.

11:09 pm

Nef

OH MY! They thought you were a witch? WOW!!

11:09 pm

Nef

I figure that if there is any way to get kids interested in books you have to do it.

11:10 pm

RoundBarn

I have some funny stories but too much to relate here. We should have a phone chat about how things are going. I long to get to Mlps to see my cousins again, and some of //demi's dearest friends. And you and Frank and Ronald. I will, after Vol 4 and Dairy Expo.

11:14 pm

RoundBarn

guess I'm talked out--good to converse with you Nef, and Traderkate. I'm off to bed. What's the word? poof.

11:14 pm

Nef

Sounds good to me, RB

11:15 pm

Nef

(sorry, had to take the dog out and clean up his "accident"

11:15 pm

TraderKate

niters rb, see you internet connection permitting ;)

11:15 pm

Good Night, RoundBarn. Sweet sleep!

11:17 pm

MLFAN17

11:17 pm

TraderKate

11:19 pm

RoundBarn

11:20 pm

Nef

I just got 4 al words since you said you didn't have any of the al words, TK

11:20 pm

RoundBarn

huh, Nef, it's not in enable. I've done enough proofing to know it's a lot.

11:21 pm

Nef

And yes, RB, I got the al4/5 you hinted too.

11:21 pm

TraderKate

ty rb, found it still need 3 more looks like a combo or triplet... al 5/14 and al 6/24 (i have hte al 4/5 before it)

11:22 pm

Nef

I didn't go to the PB box for saying a WORD; I just messed up, trying to find more wordsthere

11:23 pm

torgone

TK - add a letter that doesn't change the pronunciation .. then plural

11:23 pm

jesdraggon

nef put herself in PB because people stash cookies there... :D

11:24 pm

TraderKate

ty sooooo much torgone! i don't remember that one ! would have broken my monkey for aure :)

11:25 pm

Nef

But jes, I only go to the PB when I put a WORD in chog (and then I'll eat tons of cookies!)

11:26 pm

TraderKate

<---- has been known to input words into chog jsut to get to the goodies in the pb ;)

11:26 pm

RoundBarn

nef I new you knew about a lot--but I thought maybe enable would take it, it takes so many strangies and rejects so many good words.

11:27 pm

TraderKate

down to 18, but i have been through the list a few times now.. too cross-eyed to look in morewords now :(

11:27 pm

Nef

:-) Enable is quirkier than many of the Babblers here! ;-)

11:28 pm

TraderKate

<smirk>

11:28 pm

rururocks

Like who?

11:28 pm

11:29 pm

TraderKate

11:30 pm

jesdraggon

Niters, RB. You can go to bed now!

11:31 pm

TraderKate

11:31 pm

Nef

11:32 pm

TraderKate

i have launched into begging mode here....

ab 6/30 combo? please?

11:32 pm

TraderKate

and ah 5/14.... can this be a "normal" word?

11:32 pm

rururocks

Ah5 not behind

11:33 pm

TraderKate

and it is definitely NOT a-hole lololol

11:33 pm

rururocks

I kind of think it is past quirky

11:36 pm

TraderKate

tic toc tic toc...final jeopardy tune is playing in my head....

11:37 pm

rururocks

Ab5..ab plus most of house mixed up

11:39 pm

TraderKate

rururocks

Think about my clue tk

11:40 pm

TraderKate

11:40 pm

TraderKate

i was going down instead of up :(

11:40 pm

rururocks

11:40 pm

rururocks

That is what makes it so fun sometimes

11:41 pm

TraderKate

11:41 pm

TraderKate

i am slightly irregular, and happy to be so! ;)

11:42 pm

rururocks

Bo plus most of not day

11:42 pm

Nef

Maybe Babble draws out the quirkiness of everyone who stays & plays here?

11:43 pm

rururocks

Yup nef

11:43 pm

jesdraggon

eeek! my timer is wrong, it says i have over an hour left and I just noticed it's almost flip!

11:44 pm
