4:24 am

rose! Don't tell me I missed you by 7 minutes :(

4:26 am

grannyrose

{{HUGS}} MY DARLING. NO SUCH LUCK * GRIN *

4:27 am

sprite

*happy dance* cr5/22 finally reappearing!

4:27 am

grannyrose

aagghh sorry, sweetie. caps lock was still on.

4:27 am

sprite

lolol np, just very happy to catch you still. First did financial stuff with Cobi. All taken care of.

4:28 am

grannyrose

thanx, i saw. xoxox

4:28 am

sprite

your day was devastating, darling... I hope it was worth it for you. And woweeeee at no FM symptoms at least.

4:28 am

sprite

*Squeazinghugs* for you, more like :D

4:29 am

grannyrose

lol.... it was interesting to say the least. poor don is knackered.

4:30 am

sprite

oh I believe it. When you are no longer in the daily company of kids, you aren't really up to the energy drain anymore, lol. Man, are they tiring. But also invigourating, in a way.

4:31 am

grannyrose

i was about to text Lu and see how the kids are. she said last time they both had a nap on the couch before dinner, went to bed early and, as you know, they were still asleep the next morning when Lu got home after a night shift.

4:31 am

sprite

hehehe yeah, pretty intensive day for the kids as well. Lots of impressions to store.

4:32 am

grannyrose

and no ipad in sight.

4:32 am

sprite

all for the better.

4:34 am

sprite

ugh now I worry. I found he6/27 early on without any help. That is worrisome, isn't it? And cr5/22 too. Does that mean I babble too much? Nooooooo....!

4:36 am

grannyrose

* giggle * i found the cr5, but needed a nudge for the he6.

4:37 am

sprite

we are SO doomed

4:38 am

grannyrose

now the ca8 was a different story. never seen it before.and neither had my word list.

4:38 am

sprite

hm, looking now

4:38 am

sukee

Good morning

4:38 am

grannyrose

g'day sukee

4:39 am

sprite

hello sukee :) Did you sleep any better this night?

4:39 am

sukee

I did actually, but I was up before 5 :)

4:40 am

sprite

ugh, that early! But still, a better night is a better night.

4:40 am

sukee

I would have stayed in bed a bit early but my bladder had other ideas :)

4:40 am

sukee

a bit longer I mean :)

4:41 am

sprite

ah, my wordlist has it. Ca8/60, right?

4:41 am

sprite

oh that bladder. Ikr... had to get out of bed in the middle of the night for the darn thing

4:42 am

grannyrose

yes sprite. but you have been playing longer than me, yes?

4:43 am

grannyrose

i have to take a diuretic first thing in the morning. i get up for that 6am pee, take the tablet, then before it is 9am i have been another 3 times. very frustrating when you are snuggled in and comfy.

4:44 am

sprite

how uncomfortable!

4:44 am

sprite

yes, I have played longer than you. Almost 11 years now.

4:44 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sprite, the other option is not nice.

4:45 am

sprite

the other option is wet, cold and yucky, alas

4:45 am

grannyrose

i hear you, sweetie.

4:46 am

sprite

been there, done that, lol. *hugs*

4:49 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite, braxton is so sweet. he is toddling everywhere, and i am not sure what language he is speaking, but there sure is a lot of it. he really reminds me of his daddy at the same age. head full of curls, huge eyes, and the most adorable nature.

4:49 am

sprite

that child has been a blessing from day one.

4:50 am

sprite

I remember how we all prayed for him and his mum.

4:50 am

grannyrose

this morning he greeted us with two socks and one shoe... on the wrong foot...and this afternoon, he had one bare foot, and one shoe on.

4:51 am

sprite

awwww how cute. Already trying to do it himself

4:51 am

grannyrose

he latched onto Claudia's cup of Fanta and he was drinking from a straw.

4:52 am

grannyrose

lol... yeah...this morning Lu said he had on two completely different shoes before we arrived.

4:52 am

sprite

ain't he precious?

4:53 am

grannyrose

absolutely. we are so blessed.

4:55 am

sprite

am glad you enjoyed it. You sure have to pay a price for a day like this, so it is a blessing that you can enjoy it.

4:55 am

sprite

phantom: machine

4:59 am

sukee

crupe

4:59 am

sukee

oops

5:02 am

grannyrose

s'okay sukee. you are safe. not a word

5:02 am

sprite

jeezzz sukee, can't you do that with a valid word please! *stern mama look*

5:05 am

sprite

lol rose... sure, encourage her... you are already done... I still NEED those words!

5:06 am

grannyrose

sorry. while hiccup was happening, went and got the meds ready. xoxox

5:07 am

sprite

hehehe so efficient, our rose

5:07 am

sprite

tempura is SO a word

5:08 am

grannyrose

sprite, you heard from our ruby in the last couple of days?

5:08 am

sprite

oh wait... it is a phantom. Never mind me, sigh.

5:09 am

grannyrose

*giggling* there, there dearest. you are going to be all right.

5:10 am

sprite

I hope so. Right now I am a mess. Dizzy as can be and sore allover. We should be allowed to skip some days, don't you think?

5:11 am

grannyrose

poor you, sweetie. you need to have a quiet moment. is that achievable?

5:11 am

sprite

yeah, I might take a nap a little later. Should be ok. And I spoke to ruby on babble yesterday.

5:12 am

sprite

spoke with* ruby even. Sorry.

5:12 am

sukee

I seem to be stuck at 40

5:12 am

grannyrose

i had an email from her. i am so worried. burt is becoming too much for her to handle.

5:13 am

sprite

I have been telling her that for a while now. He was doing better yesterday, but the wound is not closing and so she has to run those stairs all day for him

5:14 am

grannyrose

at least his daughter is coming. i hope she gets the down time she needs.

5:14 am

sprite

my heart breaks for him, but I think the only solution is to have him institutionalised. Or our ruby will wear herself down to nothing. She is no spring chicken either.

5:14 am

sprite

yeah, for 9 days. I hope ruby will allow her to do most chores!

5:14 am

grannyrose

at least, if his memory is gone, she shouldn't have any hesitation putting him into a nursing home.

5:16 am

sprite

he may feel even more confused in a strange environment. But ruby can come and visit him often, which should help a little.

5:17 am

sukee

Wow I just totally monkeyed the ca 8

5:17 am

sprite

wooooot sukee, good job!

5:18 am

grannyrose

sprite, once the confusion sets in, it really doesn't seem to matter where the patient is. what is important, that our ruby is relieved of this terrible burden, and that burt gets the 24/7 care he needs.

5:18 am

grannyrose

well done sukee.

5:18 am

crosshair

Good morning, everyone;)

5:18 am

sukee

It would be much better for him and there would be the medical care. I'm sure she can find a nice one near by.

5:18 am

sukee

Hi crossy.

5:18 am

grannyrose

g'day crossy. xoxox

5:19 am

sprite

I agree it is more than time for that, rose. I wish I lived a little closer. If only I could cuddle that man once a day.

5:19 am

sprite

hey crossy *hugs* for you and the mrs!

5:19 am

crosshair

I see all of my favorite girls are here:)

5:19 am

sukee

Now if I should just get the last Q word

5:20 am

sukee

could even

5:20 am

grannyrose

sukee, change the vowel in the qu4 you do have

5:20 am

sukee

Bingo, TY :)

5:20 am

sprite

awwww shucks, crossy :)

5:21 am

grannyrose

xoxox sukee

5:21 am

grannyrose

where? where? wo came in?

5:21 am

grannyrose

*rolls eyes* who even

5:25 am

sprite

how are you and Elegant today, crossy?

5:25 am

sprite

ugh, dizziness is dissolving into a massive headache. What the heck is wrong with me today!

5:26 am

crosshair

we are both doing well, sprite. my beloved is now taking her turn at som english classes and is doing very wel

5:26 am

crosshair

Poor, Sprite:(

5:26 am

crosshair

Hope she is typing better than I am today:)

5:27 am

sprite

oh wow good for her! You guys rock, you know that?

5:28 am

crosshair

Aww. ty. We are fortunate in that we have our very own learning centre where you can keep upgrading your education as much as you wish for free;)

5:28 am

grannyrose

sprite...dizzy spell?? have you had enough fluids??

5:28 am

sprite

ah, I see. More storm and thunderstorms coming. I am feeling the lower air pressure badly, apparently.

5:28 am

crosshair

it helped me get all the credits I need to breeze into any local University without the need for a entrance exam;)

5:28 am

Lizlin

A quick hello from me :)

5:28 am

sprite

yeah, enough fluids, and I had breakfast too.

5:29 am

grannyrose

try a glass or two of water, and some fruit high in fructose.

5:29 am

crosshair

Howdy, Liz

5:29 am

sprite

wow crossy, awesome!

5:29 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl.

5:29 am

sprite

hello Liz! *hugs* for you and your beloved.

5:29 am

crosshair

yes, listen to Rose, Sprite:)

5:29 am

Lizlin

Hope you feel better soon, Sprite and delighted that you had such a lovely day with the kids, Rose and awesome, Crossy, as Sprite says.

5:29 am

Lizlin

And Hugs to all

5:30 am

Lizlin

Phew! Did I miss anyone out?

5:30 am

sprite

:) Hugs are so good.

5:30 am

grannyrose

ugh on the atmospheric air pressure, sprite. that would do it.

5:30 am

sukee

Hi Liz

5:30 am

Lizlin

Hi Sukee - apologies. Hope all's good with you.

5:30 am

sprite

all the more reason for a nice nap later on :)

5:31 am

grannyrose

gosh, i love you all.

5:31 am

sukee

Things are good :)

5:31 am

Lizlin

OK - I said it was a quick visit - but I'll be back later - more hugs to all :)

5:31 am

sprite

yeah, this is a lovely group of people.

5:31 am

sprite

bye Liz! *hug* Lovely to see you, however short.

5:32 am

grannyrose

tomorrow is my day out with my friend. we do coffee, talk, lunch, talk, charity shop, talk, and coffee. oh...did i mention talk??

5:33 am

sprite

don't you guys talk at all? ;)

5:33 am

crosshair

I can hear the nattering from here:)

5:33 am

grannyrose

nah....lolol..too much coffee

5:34 am

crosshair

This is when all the hubby's gravitate towards the local car shop, electronics shop, or book store:)

5:34 am

sprite

crossy, wait until rose comes visiting here... you will need earplugs if you are to have any peace then.

5:35 am

crosshair

I will just keep bringing her to paces that are so beautiful that they leave her speechless;)

5:35 am

sprite

oh yes. Way too much talk for the guys. We are gonna send our guys on a canoe and photograph trip to a beautiful dutch area.

5:35 am

grannyrose

crossy... or put on a dvd ...roflol

5:35 am

sprite

oh yeah, that works too. We will knit and watch dvd and just occasionally talk.

5:36 am

crosshair

I will toss everyone into the jeep and head into the hills for the afternoon:)

5:36 am

grannyrose

i am so gonna looove meeting you guys and gals.

5:37 am

sprite

it is gonna be awesome, rose. I have started a notebook in which I write down everything we should do and see, and prepare, and so on.

5:37 am

grannyrose

yay sprite. and can we do it all in 10 days?

5:38 am

crosshair

Oh yes, when is your babble meet-up date?

5:38 am

sprite

we will make sure we can. Better be selective and enjoy everything, than overstuff the 10 days and not being able to enjoy it all.

5:39 am

grannyrose

crossy, when i can walk more than 50 feet at a stretch. i am hoping for next year..

5:39 am

crosshair

I would just strap you to the roof of the jeep;))

5:40 am

sprite

my idea was to start with a couple of days with outings, a bit of sightseeing, with rest periods in between. Then a few days in a cottage somewhere, just you and me and pugs, and the guys off canoeing. And then closing up with a day together... getting ready to say goodbye :(

5:40 am

sprite

we hope rose and don will be healthy enough next year. And if not, the year after. Around june.

5:41 am

grannyrose

sounds delish, sprite. but with Roy entering the equation, i wonder if pugs wants to still do this.

5:42 am

sprite

hm I think she will. Let's hope it works out with Roy. Then he can watch the farm :D

5:42 am

grannyrose

and we have to factor in Barb's care too

5:42 am

grannyrose

i guess it's a watch and see thing.

5:43 am

sprite

yeah. But pugs was so clear about being able to do this. I think she has a backup plan for Barb. And she surely deserves a vacation from it all.

5:43 am

sprite

fireflies

5:44 am

grannyrose

i know, dear. but like i said. Roy has become a major factor.

5:44 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!

5:45 am

sprite

we'll see. Things will work out for the best, no doubt.

5:46 am

grannyrose

i am just saying.... i want pugs to be able to make her own mind up with no pressures.

5:48 am

sprite

pft I will pressure her like crazy :)

5:49 am

sukee

well, I have to go get ready. Take care all.

5:49 am

sprite

bye sukee, I hope you have a grand day

5:49 am

grannyrose

later sukee. xoxox

5:49 am

crosshair

tc, Sukee

5:50 am

grannyrose

no you don't sprite. pugs will have enough pressures without us pushing her...lolol

5:51 am

sprite

I will I will I will!

5:52 am

grannyrose

naughty sprite. *gets spray bottle ready*

5:53 am

sprite

*checks* yep I am watertight. Go right ahead, mrs rose. I can take it.

5:54 am

grannyrose

* pump, pump * sprays sprite, right between the eyes. gotcha!!

5:56 am

sprite

*turns on windshield wipers*

6:00 am

grannyrose

too late...i already gotcha....

6:02 am

sprite

hehehe :) Ok, time for me to get the laundry up on the line and then a nap for me and terra. *hugs* to my friends. And to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

6:03 am

grannyrose

xoxox, sprite. hope your day allows you all the rest you deserve.

6:05 am

grannyrose

and time for me to lay me down. xoxox to all. enjoy the grid. small but has some bitey teeth.

6:16 am

crosshair

...and my girls are gone like the wind in the grass, leaving me nothing but a memory, and a hit of perfume on the wind..

6:17 am

crosshair

hint

6:18 am

crosshair

I see that we have one of our favorite welsh words in the grid today:)

6:19 am

car.eeyore

Good morning!

6:19 am

crosshair

Howdy, car;)

6:23 am

car.eeyore

Ooh! We better catch that 3:10 train!

6:29 am

car.eeyore

Gotta love these small grids filled with obscure words...NOT!

6:29 am

crosshair

Interesting tidbit of the day. The air polution particulates have become so high in Paris, that the powers that be have made all inter-city buses free of any charge; additionally every rooftop will, in a set period of time, either have to be a green roof, or have solar panels installed upon them:)

6:30 am

car.eeyore

Hmmm...wonder if they will follow through on all that

6:31 am

crosshair

Not sure. it is either do that or stop breathing.

6:31 am

car.eeyore

May I have a clue for that Welsh word you spoke of earlier?

6:31 am

crosshair

being voted the most polluted city for a day will knock the heck out of those tourist dollars

6:32 am

crosshair

ahh yes, cr 5/22 means a crowd

6:33 am

car.eeyore

ty

6:34 am

crosshair

Seems our very own urban nightmare of Toronto was the first to introduce a by-law saying that henceforth all new building MUST have plans to include a green roof in the construction

6:35 am

car.eeyore

Stats please for the P?

6:36 am

crosshair

ph 4/7

6:36 am

car.eeyore

Got it. ty

6:37 am

car.eeyore

Need to go fight with the boys...brb...

6:37 am

crosshair

:)

6:39 am

car.eeyore

Good news...mommy is winning today!

6:41 am

car.eeyore

Oh my...pulled that CA 8 out of nowhere!

6:42 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

6:42 am

crosshair

Yaaa!

6:44 am

car.eeyore

Hi Liz

6:45 am

Lizlin

How are you and Dylan today? Both better I hope.

6:45 am

car.eeyore

I am fine....

6:45 am

car.eeyore

...boys on the other hand....

6:46 am

car.eeyore

...are about to feel my wrath.

6:46 am

Lizlin

Well, you're the important one.

6:46 am

Lizlin

Only because I don't know your boys! ;)

6:46 am

crosshair

Howdy again, Liz

6:46 am

car.eeyore

I'll take it!

6:46 am

Lizlin

Hi Crossy - here for a bit longer this time. Need to try to find my last 15 words.

6:46 am

car.eeyore

Help please with HE 6?

6:47 am

crosshair

Nice and sunny today, but minus 7C out:)

6:47 am

Lizlin

he 6 - he + 2 vowels + not us (a clue from earlier - Rose, I think)

6:48 am

Lizlin

First real autumn day here today - down to the low 20s.

6:48 am

crosshair

ty liz

6:48 am

Lizlin

On the whole, I think I prefer sun and -7!

6:48 am

crosshair

mmm..20c...perfect temp for a swim:)

6:48 am

Lizlin

yw

6:49 am

Lizlin

We used to swim when the pool was 23 or 24 - now it has to be nearer to 30! We've become really wimpish!

6:54 am

crosshair

Guess your blood gets as thin as tap water:/

6:54 am

crosshair

My brother has that issue in Las Vegas. he is frozen now if it falls below 70F!

6:55 am

Lizlin

Really acclimatised to the weather here but still don't like the humidity.

6:55 am

Lizlin

It's true that we feel cold in temperatures that I'd've considered warm in London. One difference though is that houses here don't have central heating.

7:03 am

car.eeyore

Liz...two additional vowels after the he?

7:04 am

7:21 am

bichon

See Liz, a trove of North American obscure words can be found here

7:22 am

Lizlin

Thanks Babble for teaching me all these wonderfully useful words ;)

7:22 am

MollyL

Yes, there is no telling what interesting cocktail party conversations you will get into about um5s.

7:23 am

Lizlin

We used to try to challenge the head teacher of our school to include a given (obscure) word into the morning assembly.

7:25 am

MollyL

Challenges like that are fun. However, I am not impressed by people who use obscure words in their everyday vocabulary just to show off.

7:26 am

Lizlin

That's just pretentious!

7:26 am

MollyL

Yes, and people look at them funny and then back away slowly. : D

7:27 am

Anniebrook

If we ever have another super storm Sandy, we will definitely need an um5 to get around. So, it is a practical word to know.

7:27 am

Lizlin

Love your practicality, Annie but I'm hoping you don't get another storm like that.

7:27 am

MollyL

I think you are more likely to see people in two-man inflatables in New York.

7:27 am

bichon

Mr. Bich always knows the definition of lots of obscure words. It' maddening

7:28 am

Lizlin

It'd be a surf board here!

7:28 am

Anniebrook

The co-op is putting the finishing touches on the new electrical sub-station due to the storm.

7:28 am

bichon

With global warming, that's even more of a possibillity

7:28 am

MollyL

That is why Mr. Bich wins all that money on trivia shows

7:28 am

Lizlin

Mind you, having used the word "kea" in scrabble for many years, it was great to actually see some in New Zealand!

7:29 am

Lizlin

WTG Mr. B

7:29 am

Anniebrook

any new shows in the offing, bichon

7:30 am

bichon

No, he wanted to get on Wheel Of Fortune, but he wasn't hyped up enough

7:30 am

Anniebrook

was he ever on Jeopardy?

7:31 am

bichon

Yes. Wonderful story

7:31 am

Anniebrook

PLease tell.

7:31 am

bichon

He won one game [modest amount of money]. /but he won a trip to Hawaii for two

7:31 am

Anniebrook

very nice!

7:31 am

bichon

We had such a great time

7:32 am

Lizlin

Sounds exotic and lovely - hope you had a wonderful trip there.

7:32 am

Lizlin

7 left, which I'm not seeing, so I'll leave them until tomorrow. Enjoy your days everyone :)

7:33 am

Lizlin

And thanks for the um5

7:33 am
