12:38 am

{{hugs}} miz pugs any more news yet?

1:10 am

puglet

nope--I go this friday---you back yet?

1:10 am

grannyrose

yup, home again. slept like a log last night.

1:11 am

puglet

first night back? Sounded like you had a wonderful time and had some great eats too

1:12 am

grannyrose

oh yeah. we have been wined and dined to the nth degree.

1:13 am

grannyrose

how is your sister doing? how is Carol doing?

1:13 am

puglet

you and Don sure needed that--how is the house coming along

1:14 am

grannyrose

stationary at the moment. we are having temps in the 30's here.

1:15 am

puglet

we are having a little warm spell right now, in which I'm glad. That pretty cold for you Rose

1:17 am

grannyrose

lol, 30C pugs.... 86 F

1:17 am

puglet

lol--oh sorry--well pass some of that this way

1:18 am

puglet

its going to be in the 50's here and that seems like a heat wave-lol

1:23 am

grannyrose

pugs, i did ask about your sister and Carol...how are they doing, hun?

1:25 am

puglet

right now Barb is doing well and Carol is not. She came today and had me go clean with her and I dont know what to do to help her through this awful thing.

1:26 am

puglet

I'm sorry I didnt write back Rose. I know I owe you a letter

1:26 am

grannyrose

exactly what you are doing, pugs. contact her everyday so that she really knows that at least one person cares what she is doing. try and visit when you can, or have her over to your house.

1:28 am

puglet

we just have no answers to why--I think thats the worse of it all. The viewing was so bad. She hung on to me the whole time and wouldnt let me go.

1:32 am

grannyrose

and you will probably never will dear. your role now is to build Carol back up, keep telling her it was NOT her fault.

1:35 am

puglet

I know its going to take time for her and I will be here for her---its all one can do in something like this.Her spirit is just gone and I'm worried about her.I am so glad she has the little girl, that gives her reason to keep going on

1:36 am

grannyrose

yes, the lass should be Carol's focus right now.

1:37 am

puglet

Rose, I'm getting tired for I've been up all night. So glad I got to talk a bit to you. Please tell Sprite hi and I send love and hugs to you guys and night everyone.

1:38 am

grannyrose

okay, pugs. hope you catch some quality sleep, dear. hugs and xxxxx

3:38 am

5:40 am

5:40 am

grannyrose

the trip home just about wiped me out....lol. i realised when my face hit the keyboard it was time for bed.

5:41 am

sprite

lol! I know that feeling. Traveling is so taxing. But nothing a good sleep won't cure. How are you feeling now?

5:42 am

grannyrose

not too bad....triumphant that i managed to stay up until you came on. i couldn't miss another 2 nights in a row. unthinkable....lol

5:42 am

Lizlin

Hallo, and hugs, ladies :)

5:42 am

sprite

hehehe I am ever so sorry for sleeping in. Never used to do that. Either meds or old age... or both... lol

5:43 am

sprite

hello Liz :) You are on my list for an email as well.

5:43 am

grannyrose

i have also realised that the extra magnesium in the afternoon leads to frantic dashes to the loo. so if we are travelling, i have to skip that dose.

5:43 am

grannyrose

whoot!!! {{hugs}} liz girl

5:43 am

sprite

right. Things just can't ever be easy, can they?

5:43 am

Lizlin

What a lovely welcome.

5:44 am

Lizlin

Your journey home sounded very long, Rose.

5:44 am

sprite

5:44 am

grannyrose

5:44 am

Lizlin

Lizlin

Saw that early on :)

5:46 am

grannyrose

we have just watched a special on tv. how countdown affected ABBA's success on the world stage. have been singing my lungs out, despite eyebrow waggling and startled looks from don.

5:46 am

Lizlin

But now Tad and Blade are deeply lost in the rainforest.

5:46 am

sprite

I love ABBA. I can sing practically every song of theirs, letter perfect.

5:46 am

grannyrose

5:47 am

Lizlin

We also have been watching a Supertramp concert recorded in paris in 1979 - more my sort of music.

grannyrose

5:48 am

Lizlin

Heartstopping stuff, Sprite.

5:48 am

sprite

I like Supertramp as well.

5:49 am

sprite

Dreamer and the Logical Song are among my favorites

5:49 am

grannyrose

and that is why we don't get it....don has a latin name...titus afishus arsis

5:49 am

Lizlin

Stars David Tennant, so definitely worth watching.

5:49 am

Lizlin

5:50 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

5:50 am

sprite

that one went right over my head, lol

5:50 am

Lizlin

I also like "School" and "Hide in Your Shell" I missed seeing them in concert in Vancouver round about '79. My dad was working there but I'd just flown from the UK and was too jet lagged.

5:50 am

sprite

hey crossy! *hugs* How are you and your lovely lady?

5:50 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} crossy. how are you both?

5:51 am

Lizlin

Hi Crossy - and hugs from me too - why not?

5:51 am

sprite

jet lag kills all kinds of fun

5:51 am

sprite

crossy is very huggable, God bless.

5:51 am

5:51 am

grannyrose

Lizlin

5:57 am

Lizlin

Don't know so much by them - have heard of them, of course.

5:57 am

My da used to have Deadhead stickers all over our old car

5:57 am

grannyrose

5:58 am

5:59 am

grannyrose

5:59 am

sukee

lol :) I guess that was in 1964.

5:59 am

sprite

oh yes, that is all coming back now. Nothing new about fashion.

5:59 am

crosshair

I almost fell over when I saw bell-bottom cords coming back

5:59 am

Lizlin

Laughing with you there, Rose.

6:00 am

mattygroves

Is it me, or is this a tough little grid?

6:00 am

grannyrose

crossy....omg....roflol

6:00 am

Lizlin

I'm finding it tough too.'

6:00 am

sukee

I'm finding it hard already.

6:00 am

sprite

6:00 am

crosshair

6:01 am

grannyrose

it is a nasty one. some very peculiar words in it...supposedly

6:01 am

mattygroves

I'm really struggling - I haven't yet opened the list, but will shortly - I can't see anything bigger than 5 letters

6:01 am

grannyrose

6:04 am

grannyrose

6:05 am

crosshair

6:05 am

mattygroves

Rock on! I too have been known to engage in naughty thoughts

6:05 am

Lizlin

I've been known not to ;)

6:05 am

sprite

but only very rarely, Liz, lol

6:06 am

mattygroves

Uh huh. I believe you, Liz. Many don't ;)

6:06 am

Lizlin

So true!

6:06 am

crosshair

6:06 am

6:07 am

6:08 am

grannyrose

6:08 am

sprite

oh those innocent baby blues...

6:08 am

crosshair

Pure as the driven snow is crossy:)

6:08 am

Lizlin

The gent does protest too much, methinks.

6:08 am

sprite

methinks just the same thing

6:08 am

grannyrose

yup liz

6:08 am

sukee

Everyone see the new Star Wars trailer for the movie coming out next December?

6:08 am

crosshair

:)

6:08 am

grannyrose

okay, three strikes, crossy is out...lolol

6:09 am

sprite

no not yet. Does it look good, sukee?

6:09 am

Lizlin

Haven't seen the trailer - but will see the film - also looking forward to the Hobbit.

6:09 am

sukee

It does got me excited, reminded me of the original movies.

6:09 am

sprite

The Hobbit is on my to go list.

6:09 am

sukee

The Millenium Falcon flew by.

6:10 am

crosshair

is the last chunk of The Hobbit finished now?

6:10 am

Lizlin

Looking forward t seeing hobbiton and the locations in the south island of New Zealand next year.

6:11 am

Lizlin

Yes, released at the end of the year, Crossy.

6:11 am

sprite

ohhhh now I am jealous, Liz. Can't you buy a huge wheeled bag and take me along?

6:11 am

Lizlin

Yes please.

6:11 am

sprite

:D

6:11 am

crosshair

I have heard some mixed reviews about The Hobbit, but I shall wait till it is is the sale bins and pick up all three on the cheap. I hear that they "overdid" the movie. drew it out without need just as a cash cow.

6:12 am

Lizlin

I don't really think it needed 3 movies but I still have enjoyed the first 2.

6:12 am

sprite

yes that is what they say. I have enjoyed every minute of it. They have inserted some of the lore from the Silmarillion into it and it is awesome.

6:12 am

crosshair

I will hold off, and watch all three at once later on

6:13 am

sprite

worth watching on a big screen, though, crossy. Oh Liz... those spiders!

6:13 am

crosshair

I have a 51 inch hdtv and a lazyboy chair. My favorite theatre;)

6:13 am

Lizlin

Scary, weren't they? Saw the film in 3-D at a local i-Max cinema.

6:14 am

grannyrose

SPIDERS????? *grabs the can of mortein*

6:14 am

sprite

not the same as the cinema, but more comfy for sure, crossy.

6:14 am

Lizlin

lol!

6:14 am

crosshair

sadly, crossy cannot see 3D. I have an eye oddity with it.

6:14 am

sukee

I had to close my eyes when I saw a Doctor Who episode with spiders.... ick.

6:14 am

Lizlin

And without other people's crunching of popcorn!

6:14 am

sprite

we watched it in 3D IMAX as well. HD too. Yes they were horrible!

6:14 am

Lizlin

never close my eyes in Doctor Who.

6:15 am

crosshair

in life, yes, in movies, no 3d for crossy

6:15 am

sukee

Haven't been in a theatre for a while.

6:15 am

sprite

better than the other way around, crossy

6:15 am

grannyrose

*with sukee* spiders are definitely in the realm of ick

6:16 am

crosshair

Last time I went to a theatre, i almost needed a surgeon to get out of my chair, and there was a group of three ladies nattering behind us for the entire movie

6:16 am

sprite

I don't understand ppl talking through a movie. Stay home and talk, for crying out loud.

6:16 am

Lizlin

That drives me mad - also tall people in front of me!

6:16 am

crosshair

and phones going off! grrr!

6:17 am

sukee

Gotten used to watching movies on my lap top with my speakers plugged in.

6:17 am

sprite

fireflies. Quite a bite, this grid has.

6:17 am

sukee

Once I get a new TV that I can attach to my laptop I will be very happy.

6:17 am

sukee

wtg sprite.

6:17 am

sprite

oh that is nice too, sukee. Very private and intense.

6:17 am

sukee

I still have 86 to go.

6:17 am

sprite

go go goooo sukee!

6:18 am

sprite

anything I can help with before I go?

6:18 am

grannyrose

ugh...crashing here....lovely to have caught up with you all. {{sprite}} {{liz}} {{crossy}} {{sukee}}

6:18 am

sukee

Not yet, for me anyway :)

6:18 am

Lizlin

We're waiting for our TV to die, so we can get a larger screen and HD TV. We've got hard drives full of stuff, so want to get apple TV, so we can watch on a larger screen.

6:18 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Sleep well, dear friend.

6:18 am

My TV is dying slowly, takes a long time to turn on these days and there is a line at the top.

6:19 am

Lizlin

Stuff of dreams at the moment. TV is working well, though it's about 7 years old.

6:19 am

sprite

in that case, I am off to answer some emails. A warm *hug* to you all.

6:19 am

I was going to get a new one, but then there were vet bills. I could have gotten a very nice tv for that.

6:19 am

Lizlin

Got to put animals first.

6:20 am

crosshair

and with these new ones, liz, you can also load movies from your computer, put them on a UBB key, and just jack it into the back of your tv. it is great! That and streaming things like netflix wirelessly

6:20 am

Lizlin

Still dreaming.

6:21 am

Can anyone steer me for the vi6/42

6:21 am

I cancelled cable tv, got netflix, and with the money i saved it paid for the new hdtv

6:21 am

Lizlin

A friend came to visit us from Canada, brought us 2 Terrabites of stuff on hard drive.

6:21 am

Lizlin

I'll happily take that clue too.

6:21 am

2 tb!! lol. That will keep you going for a bit.

6:22 am

Lizlin

Couldn't cancel cable - so many UK shows that I enjoy.

6:22 am

Here, liz, we had 350 channels --and nothing on!

6:23 am

Lizlin

We mostly watch UK stuff and the occasional good Aussie drama.

6:23 am

crosshair

there were 5 channels I watched regularly. That is it

6:23 am

sukee

That seems to be me lately crossy.

6:23 am

Lizlin

We tried to cut our package down but of course, they work it so that there are channels you watch in each of the sections.

6:24 am

crosshair

History, Discovery, AMC, DejaView, and TMC

6:24 am

crosshair

yes, they are devious that way, force you to get the next upgrade

3:14 pm

rururocks

Studying botany is better than beating the bushes for words

3:15 pm

jesdraggon

there's words in the bushes too? what?

3:16 pm

rururocks

A figure of speech

3:16 pm

rururocks

I am just hedging my bets

3:17 pm

jesdraggon

with hedges made of bushes that hide words? it's getting very convoluted in here...

3:18 pm

rururocks

Well you don't want to take a shrubbing on this grid

3:19 pm

jesdraggon

i've trimmed it about half back...

3:22 pm

rururocks

I am sorry the conversation seems to be clipped

3:23 pm

MollyL

Look out, there are lurkers hiding in those bushes

3:23 pm

jesdraggon

that's alright, i'm not very sharp myself today

3:24 pm

rururocks

Are they trying to bushwhack us?

3:25 pm

MollyL

No, just watching...always watching...

3:28 pm

rururocks

Sounds like a Steven King title

3:28 pm

MollyL

Don't mind me, just filling in all the words I had hours ago that have mysteriously disappeared from my word list.

3:29 pm

rururocks

That happened to me too recently

3:30 pm

MollyL

I think this place is slowly dying

3:30 pm

rururocks

Me too

3:31 pm

jesdraggon

since the day we were born..

3:31 pm

nik13

its because of all the cutting hedge technology

3:32 pm

rururocks

That would have been fernier earlier nik

3:32 pm

jesdraggon

that's a pretty sticky pun, ruru

3:33 pm

rururocks

I went out on a limb ...

3:34 pm

rururocks

But all of these jokes are rooted in something...

3:34 pm

saanichcat

fir sure , ru

3:35 pm

rururocks

Lol..nice of you to cypress yourself saan

3:35 pm

nik13

im just afraid i wont make the cut with my lamentable amount of ferns

3:37 pm

rururocks

Well nik.. you can wait until you are maple

3:38 pm

rururocks

Saanich must have left to spruce herself up..

3:39 pm

nik13

in today's world there are more pressing issues such as the limited copper which is making me question whether or not the mint makes cents

3:39 pm

saanichcat

I'm still here, punless

3:40 pm

rururocks

Ha

3:41 pm

rururocks

Then they should give mints no quarter

3:41 pm

nik13

they should make coins out of silver or gold. either ore is fine by me

3:41 pm

rururocks

I meant to coin that differently

3:42 pm

nik13

its gonna be hard to get rid of all the tainted money. it taint yours and it taint mine.

3:43 pm

MollyL

Oh Lord

3:44 pm

rururocks

WE are due for a small change then

3:44 pm

saanichcat

ypu're good nik

3:45 pm

saanichcat

4:01 pm

redshoes

NM. Go Pack Go!

4:01 pm

Minveryork

Hello babblers! Just posted story of clues in my profile and I am saving my last three words for later on this evening.

4:02 pm

Minveryork

Hello redshoes!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

4:02 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

4:02 pm

redshoes

Helloooooo!

4:03 pm

nik13

im in debt i cant budge it

4:03 pm

saanichcat

hello Min! Thanks for your stories; they are fun!

4:05 pm

Minveryork

Hello saanichcat! How are you doing?Twas hard to do story with this grid.Probably not very helpful, but did it anyway.

4:07 pm

redshoes

bah dum bum, clang! for saan

4:10 pm

saanichcat

thanks redshoes

4:11 pm

MollyL

I would like to see The Packers crush New England

4:17 pm

saanichcat

hey Redshoes, are those yours in your icon?

4:18 pm

redshoes

meeeee tooooo Molly!
Saan, yes they are. Actually, I'm wearing them right now. :)

4:19 pm

saanichcat

great! may your team win!

4:33 pm

redshoes

wooo hoooo!

4:36 pm

redshoes

bah, I tried the root and feminine of the last la6/18, but didn't even think to try the masculine. Dork.

4:39 pm

redshoes

All that loud whistling...if I didn't know better, I'd say my mom's at the game. I wonder how close that camera is to the family seats... ;)

5:02 pm

java2

Almost halftime; thanks Molly and redshoes for the cheers. So far, so good!

5:03 pm

java2

Oh, and thanks saanichcat, too. (Just saw your rooting)

5:04 pm

redshoes

I'm a Badger. I live in Tennessee but hail from the Motherland of All Things Cheddar.

5:06 pm

java2

Then, how about that Badger game yesterday?

5:07 pm

redshoes

Okay...I didn't say I was a GOOD Badger... O:)

5:09 pm

redshoes

To be fair, I tried to watch at home, but found out the hard way that I don't get the channel. Stupid SEC TV.

5:10 pm

java2

Ah. Well, they beat the Minnesota Gophers to retain possession of Paul Bunyan's Axe and earned the right to play Ohio next week.

5:11 pm

redshoes

I did look it up and am glad for all of that. I do feel a little sorry for the Gophers. They just haven't won the axe in so long. Wonder if reciprocity has anything to do with that.

5:11 pm

java2

Just before the half, when the score had been 17-3, them, Wisconsin scored to make it 17-13 and then went on a scoring spree with 21 points in the second half.

5:11 pm

redshoes

Good players who don't have scholarships can go to a better team for the same price. ;)

5:12 pm

redshoes

And, in my not-so-humble-opinion, a better education, as well. ;P

5:13 pm

redshoes

But I am wholeheartedly biased.

5:14 pm

java2

You're right; there's a good reciprocity program among many midwest states for higher education. A win-win for students.

5:15 pm

java2

game's back on - type later

5:16 pm

java2

tiny

5:17 pm

java2

Oh, rats...

5:17 pm

java2

Sorry! I'll now pay more attention

5:17 pm

redshoes

I'm actually pretty proud of our academic system in the midwest.

5:18 pm

redshoes

Ha. I typed that last one and then my attention just meandered off before pressing send.

5:25 pm

redshoes

Okay, I don't watch much, but did I just see a Patriot on a leash??

5:28 pm
