1:22 am

Lizlin

Hi all and well done on the bridge, Flosey - must've been a good night :)

1:23 am

flosey

1:23 am

dcseain

1:51 am

Lizlin

Ends with a certainty, Flosey

1:52 am

flosey

thanks Liz, got it

1:52 am

Lizlin

yw - can you help with ap 6 pls?

1:53 am

flosey

a +- sounds like small bits

1:54 am

flosey

but misspelled

1:54 am

Lizlin

Thanks - good clue :)

1:54 am

flosey

yw

1:55 am

flosey

and tks

1:58 am

flosey

do you have ep7?

1:59 am

Lizlin

No, sorry :(

1:59 am

flosey

anyone else in ? or are we alone here

2:01 am

Lizlin

It is quiet - I'm not sure how long I'll be here - we've got guests staying with us - the niece of a good friend from the UK. They went out today - not sure when they'll be back.

2:01 am

flosey

lovely, had you known them before?

2:02 am

Lizlin

I met her when she was much younger. I've never met her boyfriend before. They're lovely people and very easy guests.

2:03 am

Lizlin

My friend put us in contact.

2:04 am

flosey

great, I'm going to be reacquainted with my niece's daughter when we can find a time that is good for her to get up here, she's living in Oregon

2:04 am

Lizlin

That'll be lovely for you.

2:05 am

flosey

last time I saw her she was a child - now just completed Masters degree

2:06 am

Lizlin

Wow! Clever lady :) It'll definitely be good to get to know her.

2:06 am

flosey

our daughters are also looking forward to meeting her - probably for first time, I think

2:07 am

Lizlin

Our guests have been travelling through Asia and are now camper-vanning down the east coast of Aus. Then they plan to work here until next August - it's fantastic to have such an opportunity.

2:07 am

flosey

wow, I'll say, that's such a great experience

2:07 am

Lizlin

I'm sure they'll all get on really well - I hope that you can find a time before too long for her to visit you - I really love your part of the world.

2:08 am

Lizlin

I've ground to a halt with this grid :(

2:09 am

flosey

she's living in Oregon now, was raised in Nebraska

2:09 am

Lizlin

I don't know either area.

2:10 am

flosey

Nebraska is much further south, Oregon is beside Washington state, just below Canada

2:10 am

dcseain

Raised in corn country, lives now in granola country. is another way to look at it. :)

2:10 am

flosey

lol, ye

2:11 am

flosey

*yes

2:11 am

Lizlin

I've very briefly visited Seattle but other than that only California on the west coast.

2:11 am

Lizlin

I love that description, dc.

2:11 am

Lizlin

In America, I mean. Obviously I know more of Vancouver and area.

2:11 am

flosey

Rose is often in at this hour, hope she's ok

2:12 am

dcseain

And on that note, i should sleep, it being a bit after 03 here. Happy babbling, yall! :)

2:12 am

flosey

my daughters are both in Vancouver

2:12 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, dc.

2:12 am

flosey

sweet sleep, dc

2:12 am

Lizlin

Perhaps she's having some treatment today? I've been a bit out of contact recently.

2:13 am

Lizlin

My dad worked in Vancouver for 2 years back in the 1970s - I visited my parents then and of course we were also there as part of a tour a couple of years ago.

2:14 am

flosey

I have difficulty remembering it all - memory is failing, sadly

2:14 am

Lizlin

I guess that happens - but I also always forget things and always have :)

2:14 am

flosey

we were living in Ontario at that time, came west after retirement to live on the farm where hubby was raised

2:15 am

Lizlin

Apart from leaving family behind, did you have regrets about such a big move?

2:15 am

flosey

have been here now for 20 years

2:15 am

Lizlin

And friends of course.

2:15 am

Lizlin

It's amazing to think that we've been here almost 7 years.

2:16 am

flosey

I always knew that was his plan - yes, sons were settled by that time so they're still in Ontario, girls came out shortly after we moved

2:16 am

flosey

so we always have a place to stay when we go back

2:17 am

Lizlin

My decision was pretty impulsive. Hubby is from Aus and I didn't realise how homesick he was - he suggested early retirement and I jumped at the chance.

2:17 am

Lizlin

As we do in London.

2:18 am

flosey

we had a 'cousins' reunion in 2014 and same cousin has said he'll host another in 2016 - we'll see, it was wonderful

2:19 am

Lizlin

That sounds wonderful - both my cousins are in Canada - one in Alberta and one in Ontario.

2:19 am

flosey

mine are mostly still in Ontario, except for one in Oregon

2:20 am

flosey

no, Washington

2:20 am

Lizlin

Much closer to you than mine are to me - but then nowhere's close to Australia and even distances here are pretty huge.

2:22 am

flosey

my Mom was first of 8 to marry, so we're the oldest of the cousins - some quite a bit younger

2:22 am

Lizlin

Large family - my family is small on both my mum and dad's side.

2:24 am

Lizlin

I have the ep 7 if you still need a clue, though I'll have to think about how to clue it.

2:25 am

flosey

yes please

2:26 am

Lizlin

e + most of the fishy star sign from March - not a very accurate clue but perhaps you'll be able to work it from that. It ends in 2 vowels.

2:29 am

Lizlin

I've only just noticed the n in the bottom r-h corner :(

2:30 am

flosey

I have that N complete if you need any clues

2:30 am

Lizlin

I'm OK on it thanks - funny thing is I'd been trying to get the ni 6/7 from the other n! I should've just typed it in.

2:31 am

Lizlin

Are you having any luck with that ep7 or should I try again?

2:31 am

flosey

still working on it

2:31 am

Lizlin

You know the star sign?

2:33 am

Lizlin

ep + vowel + the first 4 letters of the nerve pain which shoots from your backside down your leg.

2:34 am

flosey

got the star sign, not familiar with that nerve pain

2:35 am

Lizlin

OK so e + 1st 4 of the star sign + personal pronoun + first vowel.

2:38 am

Lizlin

Fireworks

2:39 am

flosey

wtg Liz

2:39 am

Lizlin

Thanks - wish I could find a better way to clue that ep 7 for you.

2:39 am

Lizlin

Probably later on someone will come up with a really clear clue.

2:40 am

flosey

just too tired I guess!

2:41 am

Lizlin

ep 7 - start with the first 3 of the previous word + the next 2 letters of the same word but reversed them + 2 vowels

2:41 am

flosey

ah, got it, thanks

2:42 am

Lizlin

WTG, Flosey!

2:42 am

flosey

will look that word up later

2:42 am

Lizlin

any of several tropical American plants of the genus Episcia, often cultivated as houseplants for their textured, variegated foliage and showy flowers.

2:43 am

flosey

of course! now I remember that nerve you mentioned

2:43 am

Lizlin

But forgive me, but I didn't think that definition would help!

2:43 am

flosey

should have, had I remembered it!!

2:43 am

Lizlin

lol! My typing is awful this afternoon!

2:44 am

Lizlin

Can I help with anything else?

2:44 am

flosey

thanks but think I'll be heading off to bed very soon

2:45 am

flosey

maybe eu7?

2:45 am

Lizlin

Yikes - I've just read that definition properly - I should definitely be in the PB for that one :(

2:45 am

Lizlin

Had a feeling you might say that! Another awkward one. Thinking about it.

2:46 am

Lizlin

It ends in most of frozen water!

2:46 am

Lizlin

And it's a bit like the ap sleep disorder.

2:48 am

flosey

great clue thanks, got it

2:48 am

Lizlin

yw - another hard one for me to clue.

2:49 am

Lizlin

Anything else, or I'll be off?

2:49 am

flosey

have never seen that word either

2:49 am

flosey

no thanks, I'll just poke around for a bit more, should be off to bed

2:50 am

Lizlin

It has no dictionary definition from the question mark. I might google it.

2:51 am

Lizlin

Interesting - definitely linked to that sleep disorder - to do with breathing.

2:51 am

Lizlin

On that note, sleep well Flosey.

2:51 am

flosey

thanks Liz - enjoy the rest of your day

2:52 am

Lizlin

Thanks.

3:25 am

Cosmo Kramer

got ep7 thanks...
i think it can be clued like this
ep + ** (not was) + *** (not fbi)

3:30 am

flosey

I'm off to bed, good night all

3:31 am

sprite

good morning all

3:56 am

mattygroves

Morning Sprite! Did your clocks change at the weekend like ours?

3:57 am

sprite

hi matty :) *hug* Yes, we are back on 'normal' time again too.

3:57 am

mattygroves

Though 'normal' time lasts less long than summer time! Americans are still on summer time for another couple of weeks, I believe

3:58 am

sprite

I wish they forgot about it. I very much dislike the transition to summer time. But getting an 'extra' hour now feels ok :)

3:59 am

mattygroves

I don't mind it so much, though I hate the dark nights which, this far north (even London), it wouldn't matter one way or another in December

3:59 am

mattygroves

The days are just so short!

4:01 am

sprite

yeah but that is the normal seasonal thing... days in December ARE short. Time for us human beings to cocoon at home, burn candles, read books and find peace deep inside

4:01 am

mattygroves

....or just drink a lot. One of the two ;)

4:02 am

sprite

lolollll

4:03 am

sprite

how are you doing, matty?

4:04 am

mattygroves

I have 77 words. Other than that, we got back from Jeff's folks in the midlands last night - they are ageing and Jeff finds that stressful. On the upside, after today Jeff ahs a few days off so we don't yet know what we'll do with it but at least it's not working :)

4:04 am

mattygroves

How about you?

4:05 am

mattygroves

75 words left, I should have said ;)

4:06 am

sprite

sounds good, matty. Jeff is lucky that he has you to be there for him through this. It can be tough to see your parents ageing. I am fine. Feeling good, puttering about, getting stuff done without overtaxing myself.

4:06 am

mattygroves

Good news! At the moment I am definitely not overtaxing at all - I'm still in bed - I shall shower once I've finished my coffee (and my bladder forces me to the bathroom anyway)

4:08 am

sprite

good planning there! :)
I have a load of laundry going, and shopping to do after babble. Cooking dinner tonight, singing lesson in the evening. Other than that, I am not doing much today.

4:08 am

mattygroves

I must also put laundry in today. I too am cooking dinner, then we're off to the pub as Jeff plays a music session there every Tuesday. It's always good fun

4:09 am

sprite

oh wow, sounds awesome. If my girl and I come to london, can we come and listen?

4:09 am

mattygroves

Yes!!!! Absolutely. Especially as sometimes the musicians outnumber the audience

4:10 am

sprite

great!

4:10 am

mattygroves

Here's a sample (in a different pub, but you get the idea)
https://youtu.be/ITVIA5mOGqE

4:14 am

sprite

oh nice! Maybe they can sing a song with Caya together... she sings and composes, did you know?

4:14 am

mattygroves

Everyone is welcome and that would be great (and I didn't know). How old is Caya?

4:15 am

sprite

caya will be 18 in february. Let me find you a link to her songs, hold on

4:15 am

mattygroves

Here's another... https://youtu.be/FhIqVg4o5Ks

4:15 am

mattygroves

Oh, fab

4:16 am

sprite

here are all her songs, her covers and her originals:
https://soundcloud.com/isis\n-caya

4:16 am

sprite

darn, never mind, I will tinyURL it

4:16 am

mattygroves

OK

4:17 am

sprite

babble puts in that darn
sometimes.
http://tinyurl.com/ozgjn6v

4:17 am

sprite

that darn backslash n

4:19 am

mattygroves

Wow - it's beautiful - she has a fabulous voice and the song (that I'm listening to at the moment) is lovely

4:21 am

sprite

I know I am far from objective but I truly believe she is incredibly talented. Completely autodidact too. I think it would be way cool if your Jeff and my Caya could do a song together!

4:22 am

mattygroves

That would be great! Jeff writes songs as well, though the only one I have on YouTube is a comedy song written for my birthday a few years ago

4:22 am

mattygroves

BTW, Jeff's the one with the beard in the videos ;)

4:25 am

sprite

I thought he was... he is cute :D

4:26 am

mattygroves

I think so! My profile photo is from last Halloween. He's not normally quite so pale :)

4:26 am

sprite

*giggles*

4:27 am

mattygroves

Phantom: escape

4:29 am

sprite

yeah that one too, lol. Lots of phantoms today. And this might have been a huge grid if that upper right L had been a G, I think.

4:30 am

mattygroves

Yes! I have 67 left and think I might go to the list after I shower. Which I shall do shortly

4:30 am

mattygroves

I wonder how many desperately obvious words I'll spot once I open the list. I hate it when that happens

4:30 am

mattygroves

I don't yet have the 8, yet I have 7 of the 7s. Go figure

4:31 am

sprite

ah not that much bigger, actually. A little over 200. Okay then.
Let me know if you want a clue for the 8

4:32 am

mattygroves

Can you tell me what the stats are for the 8?

4:32 am

mattygroves

How did you work out how many words you'd get in the grid with the G?!

4:33 am

sprite

it won't make you happy, lol... stats are re8/50

4:33 am

mattygroves

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

4:33 am

sprite

back in da days, I had this little script that worked out amount of words and first-letter stats, plus breakdown into word length. That was before the lists and babble stats.

4:34 am

mattygroves

Got it - turns out I had its related seven already and forgot to pluralise it

4:34 am

mattygroves

Oh, very clever Sprite :)

4:34 am

sprite

lol happens to me all the time

4:35 am

mattygroves

Still haven't opened the list, so that's good ;) Though I will soon. After my shower. Which I'll have in 5 or 10 minutes ;)

4:35 am

sprite

I used to post them in babble chat, if nobody had beaten me to it

4:36 am

sprite

ah, procrastinating like a pro!

4:36 am

mattygroves

I thought I'd been here a while - I've just looked, you were here near enough from the get go - 2004!

4:37 am

sprite

fireflies

4:37 am

mattygroves

Clever clogs!!

4:37 am

sprite

yeah I was here pretty early in the game, pun intended, lol.

4:37 am

sprite

*giggles*

4:38 am

mattygroves

I started in 2006 but had a long break

4:38 am

sprite

I started in 2004 and never quit. I am thoroughly addicted.

4:39 am

zoozzoom

What would we do if babble was no more :-(

4:39 am

mattygroves

I stopped partly because of work and partly because it was becoming a chore - I felt that the world would end (or something) if I didn't finish. Now I'm more relaxed about it so have more fun

4:39 am

mattygroves

Morning Zooz!

4:39 am

sprite

hiya zooz! *hugs* dear man.

4:39 am

sprite

we'd find a way to resurrect it, zooz!

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Matty & Sprite :-)

4:40 am

sprite

I like to finish, but if I don't, I don't.

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Not at that stage yet, Matty. I still want to finish every grid lol

4:40 am

mattygroves

Don't get me wrong, I like to finish and try to but I don't get quite so hung up about it.

4:41 am

mattygroves

...as I used to

4:41 am

sprite

ok, I have to get moving. Matty, we will keep in touch and find a way to meet up in London when my girl and I go on our York trip.

4:41 am

sprite

*hugs* to you both. Have a lovely day.

4:41 am

mattygroves

Yes please!!! And I must shower and use the loo (in reverse order) so I'll be back later)

4:41 am

mattygroves

Have fun all

4:41 am

zoozzoom

I did take a while out of babble though through personal reasons but apart from that I can't get enough of it ;-)

4:41 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Sprite. Have a lovely day!

4:42 am

zoozzoom

BYe, Matty enjoy your shower. I just had mine!

4:43 am

4:43 am

are sprite and matty gone?

4:43 am

zoozzoom

(((Ruby))) How are you.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Yes they just left, Ruby.

4:44 am

rubyfoo

I've been up since 5, too much on my mind

4:45 am

zoozzoom

I hate it when I can not sleep. Are you gaining any weight yet?

4:45 am

Marc Freeman

eu7, please?

4:46 am

rubyfoo

no, I lost another kg. Down to 38 which is scary. Haven't weighed that since I was a kid

4:46 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, Matty only just started myself so have no idea yet.

4:47 am

zoozzoom

You should have a chat with your doctor, Ruby. Maybe he can suggest a way around the weight issue. It could all be with the stress and worry so might be able to help you that way.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

The supplements are disgusting. You can taste the vitamins

4:49 am

Marc Freeman

going to rest now finish later, thanks

4:49 am

zoozzoom

My father has on prescription these drinks called Ensure. he could survive on just these drinks as they have everything you need. But with meals it helps to try and put weight on.

4:49 am

rubyfoo

I still have 100 left but am going to try and catch a few zz's

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Yes I know what you mean, Ruby. But you need to stay healthy.

4:50 am

zoozzoom

Bye, Marc.

4:50 am

rubyfoo

((zz's in your honor, zooz!lol)

4:50 am

zoozzoom

Try and take care, ((RUby))

4:50 am

rubyfoo

bye marc

4:53 am

rubyfoo

bye zzoozz. see you later

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Will do, Ruby!

MLF what is your budget for a watch? Do you just want to tell the time with reasonable accuracy, or do you want a pin-point accurate, durable time piece with a quality name and build to back it up?

3:25 pm

crosshair

If you want something solid, but not too crazy, Seiko are making some real quality pieces in the $200. 00 range. No big flash on the outside, but some quality innards. :)

Lol Dorens

6:09 pm

jaxx7

I got as far as the anaesthetic room when suddenly the room filled up with people and machines. Op cancelled as my heart was fibrillating and my heart rate was 3 x normal.

6:09 pm

mkg

what is an op.?

6:09 pm

car.eeyore

Oh dear :(

6:09 pm

ChrissieDee

Oh no!!

6:10 pm

op = Operation.

6:10 pm

ChrissieDee

What caused that?

6:10 pm

oh my, how awful jaxx. so you got nervous? perhaps they should have given you something before you even went to surgery. to calm you.......

6:10 pm

mkg

ty zoo

6:11 pm

jaxx7

Oh, yes. It took them four hours to find me a bed in the cardiac ward but some kind soul did remember that I hadn't eaten since 7pm the night before and it was now 3.30pm the next day.

6:12 pm

ChrissieDee

Has your heart settled down now?

6:13 pm

jaxx7

Ironically my home phone had gone awry on the day before the op so my husband still thought I was coming home the next day and wouldn't have a clue where I'd gone.

6:14 pm

mkg

wow what a mess. i hope your heart is fine now jaxx

6:14 pm

mkg

jaxx, what was the op? heart or other?

6:15 pm

jaxx7

For the first two days it varied between 170 beats and 68. I had so many tests that I felt like a guinea pig. One day they gave me 17 tablets and an injection.

6:16 pm

mkg

wow.

6:16 pm

mkg

where do you live jaxx? us or not?

6:16 pm

ChrissieDee

Frightening

6:16 pm

jaxx7

No, the op was a thyroidectomy that I had already waited over a year for and, it seems, will be waiting until next year for another try.

6:17 pm

mkg

wow. where was this? i doubt the u.s. since you would not have to wait another year........canada?

6:17 pm

UK

6:18 pm

jaxx7

I am on Warfarin so have to plod for blood checks every week, a new drug that they hope will remove the need for stop/starting my heart, 20mg of BP tablets and all the stuff I had before. I rattle

6:18 pm

mkg

uk? wow. i thought medicine was better there. i am so sorry.

6:19 pm

mkg

wow jaxx. so why do you need the thyroid out?

6:20 pm

jaxx7

Don't apologise. I am lucky to still be here to write this and the care was wonderful. Although saying that they hung a monitor around my neck and it was faulty. They woke me up three times the first night to tell me I had 'flatlined' and they thought I had died. never a dull moment, eh?

6:21 pm

ChrissieDee

lolol - I see you've not lost a sense of humour about it :)

6:22 pm

jaxx7

I have a lumpy thyroid with cysts in nodules and this hides two parathyroid glands that they thought would have to come out as well

6:22 pm

ChrissieDee

Got to laugh or you'd cry, right?

6:23 pm

jaxx7

I never have done things the easy way. My mother used to say there was a bad fairy at my christning

6:25 pm

jaxx7

I did meet a delightful lady of 75 who had had a heart attack but couldn't have a bypass op because the surgeon was away. her name was Dottie and so she was. She kept all our spitits up.

6:26 pm

ChrissieDee

How long were you in for?

6:27 pm

jaxx7

spirits up. The saddest thing for me was being told I can no longer eat cranberries when Wesleydale cheese with cranberries is my absolute favourite cheese

6:28 pm

zoozzoom

That has to do with the warfrin tablets. Happened to me too when I was on them. once off of them you can have them again.

6:28 pm

jaxx7

I was in for three days altogether but had to come in every day for another week to have an injection.

6:29 pm

ChrissieDee

I didn't know that zooz

6:29 pm

jaxx7

Zooz, I was told I could be on them for life.

6:29 pm

zoozzoom

There was a lady here on the Isle of Wight who had a hip replacement operation and she is 112 years old...yes I did say 112 years old!

6:29 pm

ChrissieDee

I saw that on the news - amazing!

6:30 pm

jaxx7

A very optimistic surgeon and patient.

6:31 pm

zoozzoom

I do not think i would want to go through that at that age.

6:31 pm

ChrissieDee

It must have improved her quality of life though.

6:32 pm

zoozzoom

Not sure, Chrissie. When they interviewed her she was curled up on a bed. So no idea if she could walk or not.

6:32 pm

jaxx7

My husband was booked for a knee replacement but was sent for physiotherapy first and then joined the local gym. The transformation has been remarkable and he is so much more mobile.

6:33 pm

ChrissieDee

Think the nhs should give us all free gym membership. I'm sure it would be cost effective.

6:34 pm

zoozzoom

I would take it if it was offered, Chrissie :-)

6:34 pm

ChrissieDee

I would probably still be a couch potato :)

6:34 pm

jaxx7

He got 12 weeks of physio followed by six free weeks at the gym and I gave him a year's gym membership for his birthday.

6:35 pm

zoozzoom

Nice, Jaxx!

6:35 pm

ChrissieDee

Good gift idea

6:36 pm

jaxx7

Ask, Zoom, you might find that your doc offers it or your local hospital

6:36 pm

zoozzoom

Could do first half of the week at the gym second half of the week a couch potato!

6:36 pm

ChrissieDee

lol

6:37 pm

zoozzoom

Oh and no more bacon as it may give you cancer so they say. Remember the butter thing...good for you..bad for you..good for you!

6:37 pm

jaxx7

Indeed. By the way the winter is going to be cold apparently. Could you get off that couch of yours long enought to organise the lined curtains?

6:38 pm

zoozzoom

Ahem..errm i am still working on it, Jaxx :-)

6:38 pm

jaxx7

If you followed all the dietary and health advice you wouldn't eat or breathe and where would that get you?

6:39 pm

zoozzoom

In a box probably lol

6:39 pm

ChrissieDee

Bacon butties with best butter , yummy

6:39 pm

zoozzoom

Ooh yeah now you are talking!

6:39 pm

jaxx7

Well, work a little bit harder, my friend. It has been a year since we first discussed the curtains.

6:40 pm

Chrissie, I do so agree. A little of what you fancy does you good, as the song says

6:40 pm
