3:42 am

i believe that, sprite. you are so articulate..anyone listening to you, would have to give you a standing ovation.
3:46 am
sprite
well, don't know about that. But after hearing all the therapists about the treatment, I guess it is a relief to hear from someone who went through the whole process. I am able to express what I feel quite clearly. The people with eating disorders said; "This is what I am feeling all the time, finally someone finds the words for me." and the others said they could empathise a little better for it. So it really felt like mission accomplished :)
3:49 am

Hi all, could someone please explain....if the letters are grey on the Tile Stats, does that mean those letters are not in any of the words....this is my second game lol
4:04 pm
dcseain
Grey letters have no words starting from them, that is correct.
4:05 pm

words always start from the upper leftmost tile it is possible for the word to start from.

7:02 pm
72 Temple Owl

The Littleys are so rewarding.
7:04 pm
lilliann
I've missed you too hin.not alot.i was spending too much time on here and the bairn's summer holidays were coming up and i needed to spend it with her when i'm upto it so i stopped babble, and i missed chatting with loads of people on here.then when i was going to come back i broke my index finger on my right hand and had to have it strapped up for 6 weeks and couldn't type :)
7:04 pm
stidgmere
Yes, that is it, radiant heating. So many public buildings use that type of heat.
7:04 pm
jaxx7
Is it better now?
7:05 pm
lilliann
That is great on both counts Gmere and please give her a hug from me when you see her next

7:07 pm
jaxx7
I have had a battle with a very hot cup of tea and the tea won. I have been going to the local A&E unit for a fortnight. It looked so much better today when it was rebandaged. Luckily it is the back and wrist of my left hand so I can still knit.
7:08 pm
72 Temple Owl
radiant heating is good when you build on a slab. if i add on to this house I will install it. and also when i renovate the bathroom.
7:08 pm
stidgmere
Yes, lilliann I will remember you to stidmama.
7:10 pm
jaxx7
I will not bore you with the long, long tale about our tusle with the Social Services. That too has gradually stated going our way but there are seemingly endless meetings to attend. The local policeman snores all the way through so you can tell it s a riveting tale.
7:11 pm
jaxx7
My typing is rotten, hope you can insert the missing letters
7:12 pm
lilliann
Ahh hin.i'm glad it's getting better and hope it gets better soon without too much pain and i hope you didn't break the cup when you dropped it!! :) I'm glad you can still knit hin.x

7:19 pm
lilliann
Is your leg ok Jax?it took weeks for me with my burns with dressings and creams so i know how it feels, but you will be ok
7:20 pm
Soodle
Sheesh! I feel like Methuselah most of the time. Then I visit my parents, & I feel like a spring chicken. No wonder I'm all mixed up.
7:20 pm
MimiCat
...still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up...and I'm 63!
7:21 pm
jaxx7
It is looking so much better now, soodle. It looks less like skin from the Alien film and more human. Still need to go to hospital every other day though.
7:21 pm
lilliann
Did you go to the wedding Mimi?Cat!! yay!! or not!!
7:22 pm
lilliann
Sending healing skin and vibes to Jax.x
7:22 pm
MimiCat
They bought a house then needed to be married to qualify for the loan, so next day went to justice of the peace. Now he's looking for an engagement ring. The women in my family don't do anything in a conventional way. She's the same age I was when I married her father...at a justice of the peace! They're going to do a small wedding soon, though.
7:22 pm
jaxx7
Mimi, you are only a baby . I am 68 and do the most amazingly stupid things so mentally I must be a hormonal teenager. lol
7:23 pm
MimiCat
But I was the FIRST one told about it!!!
7:24 pm
jaxx7
As is only right!
7:24 pm
MimiCat
I'm very happy at this age...all the guess work is done, I know who I am and like me, and live alone with (now) 4 cats...life is good.
7:25 pm
MimiCat
Next year when I buy my house in the mountains, I may actually be content!
7:25 pm
jaxx7
I know what I am too - a stupid woman. lol
7:26 pm
lilliann
mmm, ok Mimi, so not for love then?well, atleast you were told first and when are you going to finish writing this book?
7:26 pm
Soodle
Congrats & best wishes to your girl, Mimi. Glad you are on the mend, Jaxx, and, Lilli.... Don't leave it so long till you come back again. You were missed! I'm off to my nest... G'night all.
7:26 pm
MimiCat
No, you are not...don't send yourself that message!
7:27 pm
MimiCat
Oh, yes, they love each other...been together 3 years and lived together for two. He was upset their wedding couldn't be romantic but I said I thought it was very romantic that he had no hesitation marrying her on the spot!
7:27 pm
lilliann
There's nowt wrong being a cat lady Mimi...probably better than having a man around at times or not being around!!
7:27 pm
MimiCat
Hoping to have book finished by the end of the year.
7:27 pm
72 Temple Owl
fw! now to finish eatching "night of the living dead"

To paraphrase a t-shirt I like: The more I see of men, the more I like my cats!
7:28 pm
lilliann
Jax, you are definitely not stupid.never say that again!
7:29 pm
jaxx7
Oh yes I am - the day before I fought with the tea and lost I climbed on to the bed to get a book from the top of a wardrobe. That bit was easy. I looked down and decided to jump off! My feet hit the floor, i tipped forward and grabbed the step ladder that I should have used in the first plce, wrenched my arm and headbutted another wardrobe. Now tell me I am not stupid!
7:29 pm
lilliann

7:31 pm
lilliann
WTG TO!! :)
7:32 pm
MimiCat
Jaxx, I'm more than a little "coordination challenged" myself. Tripped over a cat a few months ago and fell flat on my face, tearing rotator cuffs in both arms.
7:33 pm
MimiCat
I also trip over my own feet...they're big feet...size 11..and hard to avoid.
7:33 pm
jaxx7
Lilliann; lovely to speak to you again after all this time. Don't leave it so long next time. I am following soodle's example and heading for my bed. Night all and take care.
7:33 pm

I sunk my te 5/12 into this grid at lunch today. I have 1 word left. Do 4/5 anybody need a story of clues? Well I am going to write one anyway as I aw5/18 to enter my last word.Happy Halloween to all babblers! I I had a lot of ee 5/10 things happen to me today. First, I went to Shopri4/4 after work to candy.When I got home, there was a strange noise coming from the tr 4/4 in my yard. Then as I opened door to my garage, a spider, hanging from top, dropped down on my he4/5. I knocked it out of my hair with a sh 5/12 of paper. As I saw that spider te 6/18 around on the floor, I stepped on it with my sh 4/5.I refused to touch it! I guess I sh4/5 its life to hell. Later,I noticed my neighbors' lights were going off and on in th5/12 house and they were not even home! The enti4/4 house looked like a disco place.Tho5/12 lights gave me the creeps! So th 5/12 are my clues for today. Husband has been an aw7/44 as he wa4/8s for laptop. He will begin to se 5/12 and the sh 4/5 will hit the fan if I do not give it to him.I am going to watch the movie Princess Diaries, about a young girl who is an he 4/5 to the thrown.I will be back later to enter last word. Bye!

Chog is a ghost town on Halloween night.
Not one babbler is in plain sight.
Did everyone faint from all the treats?
Have you all been scared out your seats?
I just typed my last one.
So now I am finally done.
If anyone is here, please give a shout.
Unless you are all out and about
If that's the case, I will go to bed.
I'll see you all tomorrow instead.

Near S.D. - On a hill, and the street has no sidewalks and few streetlights ..

I used to purposely be not home on Halloween evenings so I would not have to deal with the trick-or-treaters, but I've become nicer and tolerate Halloween more in my old age.
10:36 pm
rururocks

I can't stand it when the older ones do not say "Thank you"
10:42 pm
rururocks
the older ones are a little more demanding that's for sure
10:49 pm
Minveryork
Yes and there costumes are so not as cute, but whatever! I do not discriminate when I hand out the candies to them.
