flosey

hi all, just home from bridge

12:50 am

Lizlin

Hi Flosey - hope you had a good evening - also bye for now!

12:51 am

flosey

fun anyway Liz, have a good day

12:51 am

flosey

my icon is our new dog, Leroy, he was a rescue

12:54 am

ursh

Hi flosey - your new dog is beautiful. Good idea to take on an older dog. We are also faced with this decision - our spaniel is getting very frail and almost completely blind so cant have a puppy but have to find an older dog that can also live with 5 cats

12:56 am

flosey

wow, 5 cats! good luck in getting another dog - we were lucky, daughter was watching for in Vancouver for us. He has a very sweet nature

12:57 am

ursh

our divorced daughter and two kids moved back in with us and brought her two cats. We still have my Mom's cat and two of our own.

12:59 am

flosey

we have one cat and the two have not met yet, cat lives outside - sleeps on a 2nd level balcony outside of my office and that's where we put his food and water

12:59 am

ursh

Alternative is to wait until the spaniel has passed on and then get a young dog that the cats can dominate

1:00 am

flosey

occassionally he comes in, struts around a bit and lets us know it's time to go out again

1:01 am

ursh

Just a few years back we were quite happy with the one dog and one cat - but life happens and animals need homes

1:03 am

flosey

so, quite a houseful, but nice that you were able to accommodate your daughter and kids

1:05 am

ursh

Quite a tiring houseful - we had built a small flat for my Mom who then went into frail care so effectively have 5 bedrooms - one 16 year old teenager and one 12 year old boy with ADHD - very active and noisy household now

1:06 am

cybernan

does anyone have the sa 6? -- stuck :(

hiya Babs

1:15 am

Babs1

hi, sprite....always inspired by your vocabulary...

1:15 am

Babs1

stuck with only 58 words down

1:16 am

sprite

:) thank you, what a lovely compliment

1:16 am

sprite

some grids are like that... it is like pulling teeth. From a frog.

1:17 am

Babs1

well...I usually get stuck with about 1/3 to 1/2 of words done...

1:18 am

sprite

not bad at all. Don't let us obsessed finishers frustrate you :)

1:19 am

Babs1

no, but vocab doesn't seem to grow much

1:19 am

Babs1

got any clues for any tricky k's?

1:20 am

sprite

I usually look up the definition of one word I don't know. And try to remember that. All at once is never gonna work, lol

1:20 am

Babs1

i do too, sometimes...but many are not in the dictionary or coins or things that don't stay in my brain

1:21 am

sprite

no not really. They are all straightforward today. All 4 or 5 letters. Ke4/5 combo x 2. And then 2 single ke4s and a single kn4.

1:23 am

sprite

at the bottom of my profile is a list of babble idiom. It includes many babblets, with the definition.
And a fun place to look for definitions is www.infoplease.com
You can look up a word in many dictionaries at once there, or in a thesaurus or on google.

1:23 am

Babs1

k. thanks, have all but one now

1:23 am

sprite

good job!

1:23 am

1:33 am

meliae

Ugh that makes me think it is an archaic latin medical term lol

1:34 am

sprite

no it isn't. It is a word we see often in babble. For the ending, think adolescents.

1:36 am

meliae

Doh should of seen it when I found the other word almost like it, thank you

1:36 am

sprite

np. Babble blindness strikes at inconvenient moments ;)

1:38 am

hello

2:58 am

rubyfoo

anybody home?

3:39 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby :-)

3:39 am

rubyfoo

hello zzoozz!

3:40 am

rubyfoo

We had about 10 inhes of snow last night; it feels like January, not March!

3:40 am

rubyfoo

and all the bulbs have limp leaves and look pathetic

3:41 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear. hope your plants will be okay! It is stilll coldish here too around -1c here last night but supposed to be warming up a bit by the weekend!

3:42 am

zoozzoom

Do not think I would look to good either if i was left out in the snow like that.

3:42 am

zoozzoom

How are you today? Have you got a nice fire going to sit next to?

3:43 am

rubyfoo

Here, too, but it is usually warmer by now. It's funny because although long, wet nd grey, the winter was overall less cold and less Snowy than other years

3:44 am

rubyfoo

I was supposed to go to the movies and for sushi with a friend, but I'm just not up to it

3:44 am

zoozzoom

I think this is the first inches of snow you have had this year is it not?

3:44 am

rubyfoo

The fire is blazing and my sweet Rufie is at my feet

3:45 am

zoozzoom

If you are not upto it then you are not upto it. Although out with a friend would be nice for you :-)

3:45 am

zoozzoom

That sounds nice and cosy then, Ruby! Nice to hear Rufie is there to keep you warm too!

3:46 am

rubyfoo

We had a couple of small snows but nothing really accumulated. There were winters, after our arrival in France 18 yrs ago, where the snow was so deep thyat the dogs made tunnels

3:46 am

zoozzoom

Wow that is deep!

3:47 am

rubyfoo

Raffie, on the other hand, has been Rolling around in the snow and won't come inside

3:47 am

zoozzoom

LOL little bugger. Still at least Raffie is having fun!

3:47 am

rubyfoo

It is really beautiful ad the sun has just emerged

3:48 am

zoozzoom

No sun here :-( just cold and dank.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

She is very well insulated, fluffy and tufty with clumps of snow stuffk to her. She looks like a cartoon dog!

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Teehee!

3:51 am

zoozzoom

At least my daffodils are still out in full bloom. They look wonderful!

3:53 am

zoozzoom

This grid is going rather smoothly so far.

3:53 am

zoozzoom

Down to 30 left already!

3:54 am

rubyfoo

I have no 7's or 8's

3:54 am

rubyfoo

lynxxx

Hello Zooz & Ruby

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Lynxxx :-)

3:56 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxx

3:57 am

rubyfoo

It is nice to see you in the morning club (or evening for you) lol

3:57 am

zoozzoom

Lynxxx could you do me a favour and send some of your sunshine and warmth over here please :-)

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I just cancelled my lunch/movie date, not having enough energy

3:58 am

rubyfoo

here, too, maybe in a big Fedex box....

3:58 am

zoozzoom

LOL

3:58 am

lynxxx

cloudy, humidity and heat you mean...sitting here in my 30 y.o. thin dress in front of a fan..happily no-one else here

3:59 am

zoozzoom

5.8c here at the moment :-(

3:59 am

lynxxx

Mind you it is dark outside now and it is still 34

4:00 am

lynxxx

It got up to 39 today

4:00 am

rubyfoo

Great image, Lynxx!

4:00 am

zoozzoom

wow that is warm!

4:02 am

rubyfoo

It is never that hot here, rarely even hits 30C, but I'm sure that's changing

4:02 am

zoozzoom

Last Summer the hottest it got all year was around 22c mark :-(

4:03 am

zoozzoom

And that was just for a few days lol

4:04 am

zoozzoom

When I retire I thinnk I will move to a warmer climate. It is way too cold for me here.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

This place really has a nice climate; it was just a hard year for me and I could use some sunshine for my morale!

4:04 am

lynxxx

perhaps you won't need too w. climate change and all that

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Yes sunshine is a great moral booster, Ruby!

4:06 am

zoozzoom

They are saying, lynxxx, for the UK area that it will be cooler Summers and wetter winters due to climate change.

4:06 am

lynxxx

You just need to find some-one to come and mind the dogs as well as the house Ruby

4:06 am

rubyfoo

It is very scary, thinking about climatechange and all the places that will be Under water if the ocÃ©ans keep rising: NY City, Miami, Bangladesh, Hollance, and on and on

4:06 am

lynxxx

I understand wetter - why cooler Summers I wonder

4:07 am

rubyfoo

The weather is all topsy-turvey

4:07 am

zoozzoom

No idea somthing to do with the direction of the jet-stream.

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Something*

4:09 am

lynxxx

Ok - yes, I heard those ocean movements are really changing. I hjad forgotten

4:10 am

zoozzoom

I saw a TV program that was saying that, Ruby, and showing a simulation of large towns and cities under water. We had better start looking for another planet to live on quick lol

4:10 am

rubyfoo

wow, the sun is so bright that it is almost painful to look at the beautiful Snowy garden

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Although if we did find one I am sure we coould bugger that one up as well over time.

4:11 am

zoozzoom

It is starting to sleet/rain here :-(

4:11 am

lynxxx

I went to this federal govt enquiry a couple of years ago. Was with all the essential services and related organisations and whether they were prepared for what was going to happen. Extremely worrying - for them and for me!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

When you look at those maps and the populaion numbers, the future migration crises will dwarf the current one! Where will all the dis^placed people go?

4:12 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is scary, Lynxxx!

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Your guess is as good as anyones I am sure, Ruby.

4:13 am

lynxxx

BBS just need to finish something off

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Nice ot of seen you, Lynxxx!

4:14 am

zoozzoom

To*

4:28 am

zoozzoom

I have come to a grinding halt with 16 still to find.

4:35 am

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sue

7:57 am

kje

Gilroy - garlic capital!

7:57 am

kje

Oakland - so close... we could meet up at Chez Panisse

7:58 am

Scrabbler

But I am not a city person, I am a country and forest person. We could hike somewhere.

7:58 am

kje

tremendous hiking out here. You'd love Point Reyes, or even more likely, the sierras

7:59 am

Scrabbler

I was looking at a map of CA on Sunday, at all of the parks--amazing.

7:59 am

kje

yes, it is a great state for that

7:59 am

kje

did you see the stories re the super bloom in Death Valley this year?

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I saw photos yesterday.

8:00 am

kje

I so wish I could just drop stuff and go for several days but that is not possible right now... maybe someday, though super blooms only come rarely

8:01 am

Scrabbler

I just set up my 2nd Adirondack Mtn trip and we will be doing portages in the St Regis Canoe area where there are dozens of ponds and lakes. I can't wait.

8:01 am

8:01 am

kje

I need to get out of academia so I can have more vacay ; )

8:02 am

Scrabbler

That is in August. We will canoe all day in our 15 lb Kevlar hybrid canoe-kayaks and portage from one body of water to another all day, in a big loop.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Yes, kje. Can you do that?

8:03 am

kje

and camp?

8:03 am

kje

I dunno, scrab - I do like working with the students

8:03 am

Scrabbler

My friend does not want to camp although I want to. There are camping spots all over in that area.

8:03 am

kje

even when they are driving me batty

8:04 am

ours was a bear pair bond, he being the bunnybear and i being the mamabear

8:59 am

Scrabbler

Sebastian jumped in bed with me every night, snuggled with me, and stayed next to me during the night.

8:59 am

hurshy

(i called him a bunny cause he was funny and a bear cause he was so FIERCE and FEROCIOUS)

9:00 am

hurshy

you must have had some kind of gradual way for them to get up to the bed, rabbits can't jump as high as that, can they?

9:00 am

Scrabbler

Fierce and ferocious!

9:00 am

hurshy

yes, fierce and ferocious, striking terror into the hearts of allllllllllll who saw him

9:00 am

hurshy

oh bother, look at the time! ack! i have to go *hugs* to you scrabs

9:01 am

Scrabbler

They can jump quite high, so the bed was easy. Two rabbits could clear the gates I had so I had to get tall gates made for big dogs.

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Hurshy.
