3:44 am

grannyrose

How are your siblings getting on, Sprite?

3:48 am

3:48 am

zoozzoom

Alright I will let you off then ,Rose..lol

3:48 am

sprite

my siblings? I only have a sister. And even though we love eachother very much, we find it hard to maintain a good relationship.

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Oh sorry to hear that.do you see her at all like christmas or birthdays?

3:50 am

zoozzoom

And how are your children are they doing well?

3:50 am

sprite

we should, but it has been a while again. It is on my to-do list and am keeping postponing it.

3:51 am

sprite

yes, my children are doing very well. Both will do an exam already for Cambridge English! Tim for Advanced and Caya even for Proficiency. Am so proud.

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Well maybe a letter would be a good start just to see how it goes maybe.

3:51 am

sprite

good idea, zooz

3:52 am

zoozzoom

That is very good, Sprite! I bet both you and your husband are very proud indeed.Good on them both!

3:53 am

zoozzoom

I should think summer is almost upon you now, Rose?

3:54 am

sprite

no flipping idea where to get the money for those exams, but we will somehow manage. It will look so good on their resumes. Gives them an edge.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

I agree, sprite.On the money side have you thought about say like things you do not need anymore and sell them on ebay?

3:56 am

sprite

yeah. We don't have much left, lol.

3:56 am

zoozzoom

It is easy to do just take a photo of the item add a description set a selling time length and wait for people to bid.

3:58 am

zoozzoom

I bet if you looked around...you would be surprised at how much there is hanging around you do ot need anymore..lol

3:58 am

sprite

hehehe good advice, will do

3:59 am

grannyrose

zooz, still having a few cool days interspersed with days of temps 30c/86f.

3:59 am

4:06 am

grannyrose

4:06 am

zoozzoom

I only say that as that is what I do when the chat is slow..lol

4:06 am

zoozzoom

Teehee! enjoy Rose enjoy!

4:08 am

grannyrose

plus i was on the phone. a friend called to see what happened last friday.

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Oh oh ring ring why don't you give me a call..

4:11 am

grannyrose

lol, zooz

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Sorry reminded me of an Abba song..lol

4:11 am

sprite

the happiest sound of them all

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Hope , Ruru is not still around otherwise he would cringe at the thought of Abba..lol

4:11 am

sprite

hehehe rose... ok! Yay for good friends.

4:12 am

sprite

let him cringe. Great band. Brilliant song writers.

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Yes I think so too!

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Although my music taste is very broad..lol

4:14 am

sprite

mine too. And very eclectic, lol. Abba is one of the very few bands I love almost everything from. Most, it is just one song or two.

4:14 am

grannyrose

so is mine, zooz. my parents introduced me to swing as a child. and my kids introduved me to heavy metal and head banging.

4:15 am

sprite

awesome :)

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Teehee, was just picturing , Rose with her Superwoman cape on doing headbanging..lol

4:17 am

sprite

I can easily picture that

4:17 am

grannyrose

and i found i love cool jazz, plus through learning to play the piano, and my ballet, i like the old classical stuff too.

4:18 am

zoozzoom

I would love to play the piano.Starting to wish I could go back to childhood and start over again..lol

4:18 am

sprite

I love classical music. Jazz not so much, it is usually too... don't know the word... restless?

4:18 am

grannyrose

at my eldest son's 18th, they were headbanging, and i slipped into the circle beside my son. you should have seen his face when he realised his mum had been headbanging with him.

4:18 am

sprite

never too old to learn, zooz!

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Love classical and I also like jazz too, but only a certain style.

4:19 am

sprite

lol. He should have cherished that.

4:20 am

zoozzoom

True, Sprite but when you are a child it is much easier to learn..so I am told.Not sure what happened to me but then there is always one who goes against the grain..lol

4:20 am

zoozzoom

hahahahaha love it, Rose.would of loved to see that on video LOL

4:20 am

sprite

yeah, everything is easier to learn when you are a child. But that doesn't have to keep us from learning on a later age.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Very true, Sprite..very true.

4:21 am

grannyrose

or re-learning as i will be doing once the piano is tuned and in it's proper place

4:22 am

sprite

as I am doing, rose. Trying to get back the old routine :)

4:22 am

zoozzoom

I am sure you will soon pick back up where you left off.

4:22 am

grannyrose

i am still stunned when i found out i could still run up and down a simple scale.

4:24 am

zoozzoom

It always amazes me when I see people playing the piano with all their fingers as with me it would be one digit and slow LOL

4:24 am

sprite

that is how you start, zooz. The rest is practice over time.

4:26 am

sprite

fireflies. Delightful grid today.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

For me depending on the type of mood I am in I choose what song I want to listen to.But if you can play an instrument you can just play how you feel.That must be a wonderful feeling to create your own tunes to how you feel at that time.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Sptite!

4:26 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

4:27 am

zoozzoom

Sprite*

4:27 am

zoozzoom

sorry about that.

4:27 am

sprite

am gonna *hug* you both and get some things started here. Rose, sleep well and dream even better. And zooz, have a lovely day!

4:27 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite. i hope you have a great day, hun

4:27 am

zoozzoom

You too, Spritey!

4:30 am

zoozzoom

Has your husband finished the house decorating yet, Rose.Or is it still on going?

4:30 am

grannyrose

lol, zooz, i think i will be dead and in my grave before it is finished.

4:31 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Bless him I am sure he is trying...very trying..LOL

4:31 am

grannyrose

it is slow work as there is asbestos involved, and he has to be very careful removing it.

4:32 am

zoozzoom

Here you would not be allowed to move it yourself.You would have to get a specialist in to get rid of it.Maybe that might be the best option in your case also.It can be very dangerous as you should know.

4:41 am

good morning everyone:) -- Rose did I read correct? Your hubby is removing asbestos on his own???. Here you call a agency, and it is free, you get on a list. They tehn come over and toss you out for the afternoon, tarp the entire house, cover everything in plastic and remove it all carefully while wearing haz/mat suits. same goes for the old Urea formaldehyde (sp) blow-in insulation. Stuff can be very bad for the lungs.

6:44 am

crosshair

In homes here and old schools you mostly see asbestos as pipe/duct wrap and old boiler room insulation

6:44 am

crosshair

the urea formaldehyde is a more serious matter:(

6:50 am

crosshair

We had some asbestos sheeting(in 4x4 panels 1/2 inch thick) there were 100 or so, used as insulation in a school we were renovating. By law we had to stop work, call the agency that takes care of it. We waited three weeks till some govt official came over and said "Yup, that is asbestos," The we waited 2 more weeks and they sent someone out and they removed it. lol

6:52 am

mattygroves

Would I be right in thinking the an 8 will be an4 (against something) plus four more letters of some description?

6:54 am

ladycece920

yes matty. against demonstration...maybe

6:55 am

crosshair

ty lady

6:55 am

ladycece920

angry demonstration is better!

6:55 am

mattygroves

Oooh, thank you. I'm generally against those. I feel that's best

6:58 am

two pumpkin pies in da oven:)) Had some leftover evaporated milk and tried some in my tea. taste reminded me of the days of my youth when we used to go into our old fishing/hunting camp in Algonquin park. Back then the only way you could get milk in there on those goat trails was by bringing it in on your back in Carnation evaporated milk cans:)

7:00 am

crosshair

There was no hydro in any case, though in later years the camp boasted a propane fridge

7:01 am

crosshair

This flashback was brought to you by crossy. I am dangerous till I get my first tea finished off:)

en9 is an inversion of the eyelid. I don't know how to clue it

10:44 am

Scrabbler

en9 = en + Boy Scout ***o* + charged particle

10:44 am

Scrabbler

am7 = same first 5 letters of the am6 and add eight/nine/**n

10:45 am

Scrabbler

I think I got those right.

10:47 am

MLFAN17

yw

10:47 am

mkg

ty.

10:47 am

Scrabbler

en9 is not a drug, it is an inturning of the eyelid.

10:47 am

zoozzoom

Should of put opp of off.but it does not matter as you have it now..lol

10:47 am

mkg

oh it is not a drug. hmmm. ok i learned something new. guess that is why it would not take the word

10:49 am

mkg

10:51 am

Aloyisius

Choice word with a double vowel on the end, Aloy.

10:51 am

mkg

weird extention........like lessor and less**.

10:51 am

MLFAN17

zooz is the op5 same first 3 letters?

mm, figured it had to be lawyer-speak:)

11:00 am

MLFAN17

zooz against fighting?

11:02 am

crosshair

use 4 letter "against" prefix we have used on many words in this grid+ 4 letter word for violent street protest

11:03 am

MLFAN17

ohh yes cross had the first four letters of course:)

11:03 am

MLFAN17

got the word now thaks

11:03 am

crosshair

then you just add street protest

11:03 am

11:16 am

MLFAN17

aloy did you find it?

11:17 am

Aloyisius

11:18 am

MLFAN17

thanks aloy

11:19 am

Aloyisius

yvw .. had the pr9 thanks to earlier clues

11:19 am

MLFAN17

so did i:)

11:19 am

MLFAN17

and i have one pr 7

11:21 am

Aloyisius

you will have another one if you change the middle vowel

11:24 am

MLFAN17

change the i?

11:24 am

MLFAN17

or the e

11:24 am

MLFAN17

?

11:24 am

Aloyisius

the middle vowel would be the i

11:25 am

Aloyisius

so that the end of the word changes from a tree to part of a window

11:27 am

MLFAN17

duhhh

11:27 am

how are you and Frank doing today, sue?

12:47 pm

uusue2

I'm ok; Frank ate too much last night and now is pretty miserable

12:47 pm

periwinkle

oh, sorry to hear that. he must have been really hungry

12:48 pm

uusue2

he was; he's been going through a phase of not wanting to eat (because he doesn't want to deal with the bag) but finally he just got too hungry. I will try (once he gets sorted out) to get him to eat much more frequent, smaller meals.

12:51 pm

Bugsaw

poor Frank. He must not have changed any babies in his younger days. A bag is just a bag and everything gets easier the more you practice.

12:51 pm

periwinkle

I can understand not wanting to deal with the bag, but being hungry is not good either.

12:51 pm

Bugsaw

I wish things were easier for you both.

12:52 pm

uusue2

Nope, no babies in Frank's life. I'm trying to get him to be more at peace with the bag, but it's a real struggle for him.

stuck on the ta 6/21 ?

12:53 pm

that must be so frustrating for you Sue. To see someone you love have such a hard time with something that will save his life if he lets it. Not eating is not going to help.

12:53 pm

Not wild + not out, SMom

12:54 pm

Indeed, bugs! Very frustrating.

12:54 pm

Not really, been there so often.

1:15 pm

But their ingredients are superb.

1:16 pm

hego

You just can't duplicate the food you eat there.

1:16 pm

Bugsaw

a friend has been to Italy and says the fresh ingredients make SUCH a difference but we get most of our veggies shipped from somewhere so they get picked too early

1:17 pm

Exactly.

Another thing I learned from a Thai course, was that one should divide up the coconut milk, let some cook till thickened, then add spices and the rest of the coconut milk

7:06 pm

Hi, Gotham is on later here. I haven't watched it as I just haven't connected with weekly shows for quite a while.

7:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

i like it. dark crime drama, sets the stage for batman

7:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey, a lot of my words seem to have disappeared since this AM

7:12 pm

penquis

the dark side of Babble again.... :o|

7:14 pm

stidgmere

Disappearing words cannot be good. Many have not yet appeared on my grid. I'd better focus.

7:22 pm

MollyL

That happens to me a lot. I strongly suggest saving your word list if you are going to take long breaks in playing.

7:22 pm

Congrats, grem and hi all :)

7:26 pm

7:35 pm

Jillyjill

LOL....but of course!

7:36 pm

phandmd

yes, one or two

7:36 pm

Jillyjill

Oh good...I have back up!

7:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

any way to lessen the discomfort of scraped knuckles? i swear, they itch so they are healing. would neosporin get through the scabs?

7:37 pm

phandmd

for what it's worth...

7:38 pm

Jillyjill

Good old vaseline penetrates well. If not infected I'd avoid neosporin

7:38 pm

phandmd

why is that, Jill?

7:38 pm

Jillyjill

They also sell an aloe vera sunburn gel that has a little lidocaine in it

7:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

will that delay healin at all? i just want to lessen the discomfort of bending

7:39 pm

Jillyjill

I have become wary of overuse of antibiotics

7:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

no aloe, ever. except in grids.

7:39 pm

Jillyjill

Why no aloe?

7:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i wish they would heal by the weekend, i am going to a dess up event

7:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

makes me itch.

7:41 pm

Jillyjill

I'd go for the vaseline..and phand..it was proven to go deeper into skin layers than lotions

7:41 pm

phandmd

the neosporin?

7:42 pm

Jillyjill

there have been quite a few allergic reactions plus don't like to use antibiotics unless warranted

7:42 pm

Jillyjill

<---dying to find out how TO got scraped knuckles

7:44 pm

MollyL

I agree about the overuse of antibiotics.

7:45 pm

Jillyjill

We have 'superbugs' due to our fixation on antibiotics...scary

7:45 pm

phandmd

tis true.

7:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

yardwork mishap.

7:47 pm

Jillyjill

sorry..was hoping for something exciting like a bar room brawl (not) Those pesky plants!

7:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

why does everyone jump on the neosporin bandwagon? i owuld not have used it ordinarily but the wound was swollen and gave off a bit of heat.

7:48 pm

Jillyjill

Well, you didn't say that...it then might be warranted

7:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, they have gotten me good - twice - this season. i have a ascar, will try the scar poultices.

7:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

swollen from impact. very painful but it has been nearly two weeks.

7:50 pm

Jillyjill

You could try warm compresses

7:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

of course, the knucklleshurt form constant bending

7:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

no longer anything but healing scabs on two of them

7:54 pm

8:29 pm

SeaSpray

Sorry didn't mean to kill the chog

Lanolin is great for the skin. Back in the day, there was some stuff called Lanolin Plus that my Dad always put on my cuts, scrapes and chapped skin.

8:31 pm
