1:49 am

sprite

:D ok adding it then

1:51 am

sprite

lol I told myself decluttering would be enough work for a day, so no translating... ended up doing another page anyway last night. Only thing that kinda sucks is I woke up at 4 am and couldn't go back to sleep.

1:52 am

grannyrose

yuck....i hate that. so what did you do?

1:53 am

sprite

got up, dressed, and on to the translation :)

1:53 am

grannyrose

atta girl. but you have a nap later, you hear?

1:54 am

sprite

yeah I intend to, this afternoon. Will start finishing the room after babble, then lunch, more cleaning and then a nap

1:55 am

grannyrose

sounds like a good plan sweetie

1:56 am

sprite

I enlisted Tim's help to get Caya's room ready for her tomorrow. Since I am gonna drive and pick her up. He wasn't happy, but he will vacuum and mop. She is allergic to dust, so it has to be very clean.

2:03 am

sprite

and today he has to do the grocery shopping. Won't hurt him to put in a bit of help here :)

2:04 am

grannyrose

good on you. i hope he realises that it's about time he started doing a little more around the house.

2:05 am

sprite

I have decided I don't care anymore. Either he does it with a smile or he does it in a bad mood. But he will do it.

2:05 am

grannyrose

good. also good attitude for you to take. believe me later in life his partner will thank you.

2:06 am

sprite

true. And I am getting stronger all the time. Emotionally anyway. So if he is mad about it, I can ignore it more easily now.

2:13 am

sprite

fireflies

2:14 am

7:58 am

rubyfoo

ahah! conceiver on New Years' Eve!

7:59 am

8:00 am

rubyfoo

I know so many people with "Holiday" birthdays

8:00 am

EvaNadine

hubbys bday is 9/16 -- hes hoping baby boy comes a littl early. ;)

8:01 am

rubyfoo

That would be another gift!

8:01 am

MollyL

Ruby! The castrated rooster is what you left out in the yard for weeks after Christmas.

8:01 am

EvaNadine

im generally on the "let baby bake as long as possible" side...
but baby is a big boy, so a little early wouldnt be horrible. ;)

8:02 am

MollyL

Poor Eva. This is horrible weather to be big and pregnant in.

8:03 am

rubyfoo

How did you remember that, Molly? I thought of you the moment I typed it in!

8:03 am

suefrad625

not getting the ir7. got the ir4/4.

8:04 am

EvaNadine

doctor has put him in the 90-95th percentile for size.
::slightly terrified::

8:04 am

lynxxx

ir7 ends like the awards for theatre

8:04 am

rubyfoo

sue, you need to make a spiral after the ir4 and start from the lower one

8:05 am

rubyfoo

How much did you weigh, Eva?

8:06 am

EvaNadine

i dont know how much i weighed when i was born.
after i found that out, i asked MIL how much hubby weighed. she CLAIMS she doesnt remember.
which i take to mean "he was huge, but i dont want to scare you."

8:06 am

rubyfoo

ends like little horses

8:07 am

suefrad625

ty so much for the ir7 clues

8:07 am

suefrad625

nbt/nbs, need a break , bbl

8:08 am

rubyfoo

poor Eva! My ob/gyn thought I had miscalculated because I didn't gain enough weight, but the baby was 3 weeks late, very skinny and had a very big head

8:08 am

rubyfoo

I was Lucky I insisted on getting started, but that was back in the stone age

8:10 am

EvaNadine

i may end up having to have a c-section.
they are going to do an internal examination on me at my next sono appt (in 4 weeks) "to determine whether the tunnel is large enough to let the train through"
if not, they wont even bother putting me in that position + will just schedule me.
if they think i AM appropriate anatomied, they *might* induce me a few days early...

8:10 am

rubyfoo

That sounds like a practical plan

8:11 am

EvaNadine

i agree.
there are pros + cons both ways, so i just want whatever is gonna be best for el bebe.

8:12 am

EvaNadine

and on that note, i must rush off to a mtng.
back later!

8:12 am

rubyfoo

9:03 am

MLFAN17

9:06 am

Ouwachita

9:06 am

bichon

I wonder about that and spam

9:06 am

MLFAN17

i think its too modern for enable ouw

9:07 am

Ouwachita

its been around about 20 years

9:07 am

MLFAN17

hi bichon

9:08 am

bichon

Enable should be replaced

9:08 am

MLFAN17

ouw true its odd what they take and don't take always has been

9:09 am

Ouwachita

maybe it is a capital letter

9:09 am

MLFAN17

i don't think so

9:09 am

Ouwachita

I don't either

9:10 am

MLFAN17

first column 2nd i ?

9:12 am

bichon

in 4/4 in + musical note

9:13 am

MLFAN17

ending in i?

9:13 am

bichon

yes

9:14 am

MLFAN17

i think i have it

9:16 am

MLFAN17

if it starts with the same three letters as the in 5 and 6 i do have it as i have tried other vowel endings but they are not working

9:16 am

bichon

Since there are two i's next to each other, it's difficult to figure out which one is from the second one

9:17 am

MLFAN17

i agree, everytime i think one comes from that it turns out not to be the case

9:18 am

bichon

in + vowel + a camp ****

the bairn and hubby love pea po4.i like mine cooked not raw

3:38 pm

lilliann

As in the peas, they don't eat the po4

3:38 pm

Glantarell

I grow my own and eat them cooked and raw - mange tout

3:38 pm

Glantarell

eating the pods too

3:39 pm

lilliann

i'll eat mange tout in a stir fry but i don't do raw peas

3:40 pm

Glantarell

i do if i grow them myself

3:40 pm

lilliann

I'd like to grow my own but i can't at the moment.Maybe when my back garden gets done so i can get into it on my own then i will try and grow peas

3:41 pm

lilliann

Are they easy Glant?

3:41 pm

hego

I'm having a problem swallowing the p's in this grid.

3:41 pm

lilliann

Problem is, i won't be tall enough to pick them :)

3:42 pm

lilliann

lol Hego

3:42 pm

Glantarell

Peas are really easy and I grow mine in plastic sacks on patio slabs. They may get mildew but the ps/po4 are fine to eat anyways

3:43 pm

lilliann

so in compost bags Glant?

3:43 pm

Glantarell

I just use a variety called Oregon something or other, push them an inch into the co mpost, add some netting for them to scrable up and ignore them other than watering every couple of days

3:43 pm

Glantarell

Yes, just standard cheap compost

3:44 pm

Glantarell

and they don't grow too tall to pick LOL, that's the runner beans...

3:44 pm

lilliann

oh, i thought they had to planted in the ground and then have loads of canes this and that way

3:44 pm

lilliann

I must be thinking of runner beans

3:45 pm

hego

Pe 8? Anyone?

3:45 pm

lilliann

I still need midget peas as i can't reach very far in my chair or if it's on my back patio, on my bum as i can't get my chair onto it

3:46 pm

Glantarell

runner beans need taller canes but I grow those in plastic sacks on patio too - ideally 'wigwam' canes but mine do fine just ckimbong roundnwhatever I have LOL

3:46 pm

Glantarell

don't have the PE8 yet, sorrry

3:46 pm

Glantarell

My mange tout are all at lower than 2'6"

3:46 pm

lilliann

3:48 pm

lilliann

Oh, thanks for that Glant.When i eventually get my back garden wheelchair friendly i will grow them in bags or pots against my fence and then i can add some canes

3:49 pm

lilliann

I must admit i thought it was an o

3:49 pm

Glantarell

I only grow easy stuff. Blueberries are fab, but you do have to plant them in ericaceous compost

3:49 pm

hego

Does anybody watch the Great British Bake Off?

3:49 pm

lilliann

Ybw

3:50 pm

hego

I love that show.

3:50 pm

Glantarell

3:50 pm

lilliann

Yes, the bairn and i love it.She loves to bake

3:50 pm

lilliann

I like that too Glant

3:50 pm

Glantarell

eosis

3:50 pm

hego

It's so entertaining.

3:51 pm

Glantarell

good job that was a monkey

3:51 pm

hego

Even if you don't bake it's fun.

3:51 pm

lilliann

I have 2 tubs with Blueberries and they are in just normal compost and mine grow well every year, maybe because i over feed them :)

3:52 pm

Glantarell

They like acidity

3:54 pm

lilliann

I grow tomatoes, salad leaves,strawberries and have an apple tree and a plum tree in pots but i also have redcurrant and black currant bushes, but we're digging them up and raspberry canes

3:55 pm

hego

Lill, I'm impressed.

3:55 pm

lilliann

I'll have to get some ericaceous soil for next year then, but as i say mine do well.Maybe it's the different feeds i give them

3:55 pm

Glantarell

raspberry canes are great, if you choose your varieties carefully you can have them fruiting from June to October

3:57 pm

Glantarell

I added blood fish and bone to ev erything in May (and will do again in leter August) and am amazed at how some things have come on as a result. Fruiting things have been given Tomorite and are also doing well.

3:58 pm

lilliann

The bairn cut them right down a few weeks ago as she is clearing everything so i can get my garden right, bless her.I should have had it done a couple of years ago but the guy who was suppose to do my garden couldn't do it in the end and then the money we had for it ended up having to go towards other things!

3:58 pm

Glantarell

Most of what I grow is n't easily available in shops or is expensive in shops but is easy to grow. Try chard, it's lovely, leaves are like spinach and stems are lovely cut up into inch pieces and gently cooked in butter

3:58 pm

lilliann

Don't be Hego, lots of fruit and veg can be grown in tubs, if watered and fed regularly

4:00 pm

hego

Yes, I have grown some things in tubs.

4:00 pm

Glantarell

My whole garedn is in tbs. I didn't realise how many I had until the 8 year old grandboy tols me I had 'plant issues' and 'a problem' last week when he realsied I have 113 pots in my garden LOL

4:00 pm

hego

Mostly herbs so they don't take over the place.

4:01 pm

Glantarell

They are all around the perimiters so don't look so many LOL

4:01 pm

lilliann

My mam said that i should use fish blood Glant as she hasn't had to water her tubs as much this year and all her plants have gone potty.I will try it next year.I just wish i could get into my back garden without relying on someone pushing me, and even then it isn't easy as the ground is uneven and we live on a hill

4:01 pm

hego

OMG Glant! How do you keep track of all that?

4:03 pm

Glantarell

Hego, it is easy, I water them daily, usually first thing in the morning, it takes less than 10 minutes and it kinds keeps me in touch with nature :-)

4:03 pm

hego

Good job!

4:03 pm

lilliann

WOW Glant! 113!! I have 50 and a hanging basket in my front garden and about 8 in the back and i thought i was overkill...so the bairn tells me! :)

4:04 pm

Glantarell

I put the bone fish blood on by scattering handfuls and watering it in, supposed to be in April and August, I have quite a few shrubs and Acers in pots and it saves repotting

4:05 pm

lilliann

But i like to potter in teh garden when i'm able, plus i love looking out the window at them...it cheers me up on a bad day

4:05 pm

Glantarell

I have a couple of hanging baskets too :) and they are the hardest things to care for

4:05 pm

lilliann

I like growing herbs too Hego

4:07 pm

Glantarell

I love my garden. I wish we could post photos. There are some pics here - https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/1656380\n?preview

4:08 pm

lilliann

I have some animal shaped planters made out of whicker(i think) and i have a bicycle shaped one(metal), plus i have a couple of childrens like scare crows and some coloured metal birds that i put in between pots just for fun

4:08 pm

Glantarell

I have a lovely Bay tree in a nice pot. It was discussing gthe difficulties of repotting that with the nursery lady that led me to the blood fish bine

4:08 pm

lilliann

bbiam

4:14 pm

lilliann

am back.My meighbour has a bay tree, but i think his in a border.

4:16 pm

lilliann

I have some type of tree growing in a tub but i didn't grow or plant it.I thought it looked like an olive tree and my next door neighbour thought the same.I haven't a clue where it's come from.Must be a pollinating seed

4:16 pm

Glantarell

If you make ice cream, in a good french vanilla recipe, swap the vanilla for infusing the milk with two crushed fresh bay leaves. It is gorgeous, and peple love it but can't identify it. The Victorians used Bay for sweet and savoury dishes but we onloy seem to use it for savoury these days

4:17 pm

Glantarell

Your olive tree may turn out ot be a kind of willow. My neighbour has a self planted willow, sanme leaf shape as an olive, but a much brighter gree,

4:18 pm

Glantarell

and his is now 12 ft tall....

4:21 pm

lilliann

The leaves aren't bright, they're olive coloured :)

4:21 pm

Glantarell

in teresting

4:22 pm

Glantarell

If it turns out to be an olive, you should wrap it in a few layers of bubble wrap in winter (pot and all) to protect it

4:22 pm

Soodle

Oh my. I can't believe the chat is about gardening.... Son of Soodle took a week off work to (a) attend the Galway Races & (b) cut my hedges. (A) was accomplished. (B) is a work in progress. So far he has cut 3/4 of my hedges down... To the ground! I'm a bit gobsmacked.

4:23 pm

Glantarell

Hi Soodle. Gardening is better than politics LOL

4:24 pm

Soodle

Glan..... My days of political comment are over.... LOL

4:24 pm

Glantarell

"i am down to 110 and cant find any new words at the moment :-

4:25 pm

Glantarell

did you get into trouble for political comment LOL

4:25 pm

lilliann

Sorry, was helping the bairn put the bins out for tomorrow...she doesn't like the dark!

Not necessarily political comment, Glan, just comment in general... Hi ((( Lili)))

4:27 pm

Glantarell

ouch, sorry to hear that soodle

4:28 pm

Glantarell

I stopped babbling for a while because I didn't like the way the chat was at that time

4:29 pm

Soodle

Ah... I'm outspoken! I'm used to taking the consequences....

4:29 pm

lilliann

Glant, i ve had that plant/tree for a couple of years now...it doesn't seem to do much but it grows.We're not allowed to talk about cat and dogs anymore Glant

4:29 pm

Glantarell

I prefeer that we can be honest and acceot the differing views of others

4:30 pm

Glantarell

cats and dogs?

4:30 pm

Glantarell

really? So where does that leave Ruby LOL?

4:32 pm

lilliann

I love chatting to people on here but at times it can get immense.Soodle, there's nowt wrong with being you, i like you! :D

4:32 pm

Glantarell

I like you too Soodle LOL

4:35 pm

lilliann

I've got myself in trouble here at times! everyone here has to remember that we're all different, we live in different countries, we have our own cultures, ethics, we're not always going to get long but sometimes people make it harder for us to chat and have fun.We're alive, we should have fun and laugh and just chill at times without getting to serious!

4:36 pm

Soodle

Glan, Lilli, after a particularly unpleasant altercation here on Babble last week, I got 15 emails & 6 private FB messages, all telling me that they had stopped chatting on Babble because of the negative influence of one particular person. What a shame one person can deprive so many others of a simple pleasure like Babble.

The chat on Iron Sudoku has beccme very political, with entrenched views on US issues. Difficukt.

4:38 pm

Soodle

Phew!! Glad I'm not a Sudoku person!!

4:38 pm

lilliann

I was on the same night Soodle and also said something and i know who you are talking about which is why i said what i said at 4.35

4:38 pm

Glantarell

I am so sorry to hear that Soodle. I stopped babbling for ages when something happened with NegativeNeil and although I never knew what he sent me wierd private messgaes wanting support...

4:39 pm

Glantarell

I am so sorry to hear that Soodle. I stopped babbling for ages when something happened with NegativeNeil and although I never knew what he sent me wierd private messgaes wanting support...

4:39 pm

Glantarell

AND NOW I AM SPEAKING DOUBLE lol

4:39 pm

therealblah

I was here Soodle and appreciated your statements. I don't mind reading different/opposing positions. What irks me is the condescension and massive generalizations (e.g Everybody who voted for Obama is an Idiot!)

4:39 pm

lilliann

Which is why i never talk about politics or religion...too many arguments...I get enough from the bairn tyvm...i don't need more from hee when i come here to chill

4:41 pm

Glantarell

I think everybody is entitled to their opinion. Expressed politely.

4:42 pm

lilliann

I agree, that everyone is entitled to their opinion, i just can't do with nastiness at times

4:42 pm

Glantarell

Nastiness is always bad. People should respect the differneces of opinion.

4:43 pm

therealblah

Yes,,. we can disagree and still be respectful (well most of us can lol)

4:44 pm

Glantarell

If they actually considered the differences of opinion, they could actually revise their own opinions in the light of new in formation.

4:44 pm

Glantarell

or maybe not, depending on who they are :)

4:45 pm

Bugsaw

I never said anything when Negative Neil was on. For a long time I thought he was another negative person who left but came back as Neil.

4:47 pm

Soodle

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I will defend everybody's right to express their opinion. It's when people are belittled for their opinion that I get angry.

4:47 pm

Glantarell

maybe he did, but i had stopped babbling by then

4:47 pm

Bugsaw

well put Soodle

4:47 pm

Glantarell

yup

4:47 pm

lilliann

Negative Neil.....I'm thinking,that might have been when i was away for over a year

4:48 pm

Glantarell

me too

4:48 pm

Glantarell

only been back a month or two

4:50 pm

Soodle

Grr! I'm getting annoyed again!! I think I'll do everybody a favour & take myself off to bed!! (((Glan, Lilli, Bugs,)))

4:51 pm

Glantarell

Night Soodle, sorry if I brought annoyance up again. Sleep well.#

4:51 pm

4:56 pm

my monkeys found it earlier today LOL

4:56 pm

sammysmom

it is a cart they they use at the cleveland zoo.... wish it were big enough for me

4:59 pm

Glantarell

i wish i understood any of the clues :-)

4:59 pm

lilliann

I wonder if i could get one and then attach it to the bairn's bike and she could tow me all over :) I'm loving the room in it, as i could curl up and have a duvet and pillow and be quite happy and still get fresh air!

4:59 pm

Uneaixoise

glan LOL

4:59 pm

Uneaixoise

sounds great, lill!!

5:00 pm

sammysmom

would not use it at the zoo tho...... i will never go ta azoo again

5:00 pm

Glantarell

:)

5:02 pm

Glantarell

I used to work for the UK version of the ASPCA (or whatever it is called) and cannot go to zoos because I am unable to accept why we have to keep animals captive just so we can look at them

5:02 pm

Uneaixoise

zoos make me sad . . .

5:03 pm

lilliann

I don't think they are so m uch captive now as they were, i think they are now the only means of breeding to get animals back int he wild because of all the natural habitat being destroyed and animals killed for food/medicene and pet trade

5:04 pm

Glantarell

so maybe that makes me radical. I went to a sea zoo in Portugal (with work) and I cried the whiole time I watched the 'performing' dolphins because i know that they need a range of hundreds of miles of ocean to be happy and heakthy, and were resticted to pools

5:04 pm

sammysmom

that's the way i feel too... i took my kids to the zoo 40 years ago and was so distraught that i have never gone again

5:04 pm

lilliann

I can't understand people buying a monkey for a pet...do they not realize that the mam has been killed so they can have a baby

5:04 pm

Bugsaw

It was sadder when they kept whales in tiny pools

5:05 pm

Glantarell

both orca and dolphins and sealions are still kept in small pools. and they are all such intelligent creatures. so veey sad

5:06 pm

Bugsaw

they didn't even know what the whales needed to eat when they captured them!

5:06 pm

sammysmom

captivity... the money should

5:06 pm

lilliann

But, saying that, alot of the zoos around the world should be closed, as they don't care about the animals or breeding and getting them back into the wild

5:06 pm

Glantarell

all that bfreeding an releasing nonsense is actually BS

5:06 pm

Bugsaw

too true lilliann. I believe in sanctuaries for breeding

5:07 pm

Glantarell

they keep the animals because iot makes money

5:07 pm

sammysmom

instead of spending money to keep animals in captivity.. the mlney should be spent to keep their habitats open and available for therm. if friggin idiikts ""HAVE"" to see wild animals, then s\they should spend the money to go and see them where they live

5:08 pm

Bugsaw

Yes zoos don't need to breed and let people stare at them in pens. Let them live in huge acreage sanctuaries where they can live and breed as they like in safety from men.

5:08 pm

Glantarell

if breeding was the prioirty, why not just get on with that, and not put them forward for public nentertainment]

5:08 pm

sammysmom

true g,an wjis is another exaample of what friggin fools we hemans are

5:08 pm

Bugsaw

snap, Glantarell

5:09 pm

lilliann

Not all of them.But they have to get money somehow to feed the animals.Monkey world take in alot of monkeys which have been abused but they also breed to get them back int he wild and also put money back into countries to keep these animals int he wild

5:11 pm

Glantarell

animals are sentient. they have feelings as well as needs. we should move our efforts towards supporting them inn their natural environemtns. And help the rescuenanimals (such as those nin monkey world) accordibng to rehabilitation where possible,m and support where not

5:11 pm

NANCY

clue for pe 8 please

5:12 pm

Bugsaw

sorry Nancy

5:12 pm

Glantarell

pe8 a kind of italian cheese, but neds in i not o

5:12 pm

lilliann

The problem is Sammy, a lot of the animals habitats are being taken away because of mans' greed and people wanting to live,so where do these animals go to. If we don't breed some of these animals, they will be extinct in years to come, some in a few years. I don't agree with cages, but i do agree with parks that have alot of space for these animals.

5:12 pm

Glantarell

ends

5:13 pm

Bugsaw

thanks Glant

5:14 pm

Glantarell

lilliann if the population of a species drops below 500, it doesn't matter what we do, they will become extinct.

5:15 pm

Glantarell

And, if they are bred, how can they be released into the wild as captives who do not know how to hunt or surrvive?

5:16 pm

sammysmom

true lil, i have first hand knowledge of the problems with animals in our living areas.. every timer ther city rips out another few acres of land to build houses which no one wants anyway, more deer,foxe, groundhods, squirrels, raccoons, etc, move into our living areas... i can t even use my back yard any more because of the deer shit and fleas and ticks from them.

5:16 pm

NANCY

glan, tyvm, got it

5:17 pm

sammysmom

bottom line... either humans are goint to use the space or the animals are... we cannot live with therm and if anyone thinks we can they are idiots

5:17 pm

Glantarell

Are you not able to put upmdeer-proof frncing, Sammmysmom?

5:17 pm

lilliann

I agree with what you said Glantat 5.11, but at the end of the day, it's our fault these animals don't have their own habitat and can't breed and are being killed for their furs,for pets and medicene

5:18 pm

lilliann

I'm not arguing with you Glant by the way:)

5:18 pm

Glantarell

yes, agreed

5:19 pm

sammysmom

no, and i don t think i should have to... when a business buys a property and builds on it, taking care of the wildlife inhabiting that property should be part of the expense of doing business

5:19 pm

Glantarell

I worked for the RSPCA for 9 years :-) and understand the issues

5:20 pm

i am getting off my soap bod... this issue is too upsetting for me.

5:23 pm

java2

There's a small zoo near me; the entrance is free. They have a few of the larger animals (big cats, giraffes, etc.). Mostly they have smaller animals. All the habitats are interesting for the animals. The animals are often rotated to sanctuaries. Some are older animals and seem to enjoy being fed regularly and cared for (and about). Of course, I can't say for sure, but I think this zoo does good stuff. And most zoos (in this country) have moved far away from the small "cages" and unnatural habitats. Yes, I understand the animals are not "free to roam", but they are also protected from poachers and sometimes awful suffering. It's a trade-off. We're getting better at how we treat the other creatures on this planet. We still have a way to go, but I have hope.

5:24 pm

Uneaixoise

I'm very proud of the Elephant Sanctuary we have here in Tennessee :-)

5:25 pm

Uneaixoise

https://www.elephants.com

5:26 pm

lilliann

Well said Java.In your country and mine and also around the world, we are getting better and at the end of the day we need to learn from these animals as in their food, needs, habitat, viruses etc

5:27 pm

java2

The elephant sanctuary is wonderful!

5:27 pm

Uneaixoise

ditto, lilliann

5:27 pm

lilliann

But alot of places around the world need to be shut down as they don't care for the animals and it is just money making.

5:28 pm

Uneaixoise

very true

5:30 pm

lilliann

When i see programmes with holiday makers having photos with a monkey next to them or on their lap..."i'm like, what are you doing?" this is a wild animal for one and not a show piece and 2 if it bites you, well, it's your own fault"

5:30 pm

java2

I also know about an alligator (and related species) sanctuary in Florida. My nephew rescued a caiman from a pet store and brought it to the sanctuary.

5:32 pm

lilliann

and it's not just monkeys, it's all sorts of animals.I understand people are very poor and need money but i don't think that as tourists we should be promoting this as the more people do it these people will get away with having illegal animals and mistreating them!

5:32 pm

lilliann

Good for him Java

5:33 pm

Uneaixoise

impressive, java

5:37 pm

java2

Thanks; he was 11 or 12 at the time. He raised enough money to buy the caiman, and his mom and he drove there from Alabama. I was very proud of him (and I still have the t-shirt I bought to help out)

5:41 pm

lilliann

Wow, Java.No wonder you're proud.What a great thing for him to do.How old is he now?

5:41 pm

MollyL

Lilliann, I'm so glad you get to express a somewhat controversial opinion about something without people having a go at you. We should be able to talk like adults here.

5:42 pm

java2

He's 16? (I'm guessing, but I don't think he has his driver's license yet)

5:43 pm

He's a pretty special kid. He's dyslexic, and will tell you what that means to him. (His mom's pretty special, too)

Thank you so much, lilli. I don't recall seeing that word before.

5:51 pm

lilliann

Molly, Maybe because i say it nicely and don't want to wind people up.I'm allowed my opinion but i just don't want to fight over it.There are ways of saying things without causing arguments.

5:51 pm

lilliann

Yw Ch12

5:56 pm

java2

Writing your opinion is very difficult. When you're speaking face-to-face, it's easier because the other person (or people) can see your facial expression or body language. Writing, (especially without a sarcasm font) and getting the right tone, is extremely hard.

5:56 pm

ch1212

Still looking for a clue for that elusive es8

Both good points, lilli and java.

5:57 pm

java2

6:01 pm

6:03 pm

lilliann

WTG Ch12!! :)

6:04 pm

lilliann

I only have a few left so i'll plod along, but thanks Ch12

6:05 pm

ch1212

I just looked up 'what is sarcasm' and up popped a number of psychologist's explanations. One says sarcasm is hostility disguised as humor. Another writes, "Sarcasm is simply a way of covering contempt or hate." I confess, the times I've used sarcasm have been the result of my anger and sense of helplessness. When I've been the recipient of sarcasm, it usually feels like I'm being put down or shamed.

6:06 pm

ch1212

Probably a good idea generally to avoid it where possible, particularly if the general consensus is that people respond in a negative way to it.

6:07 pm

crosshair

I would tend to agree as well, Ch1212 :)

6:07 pm

ch1212

That said, I think we (all of us babblers) are a generally positive lot! :)

And on that happy note, I'll sign off until tomorrow !

6:09 pm

lilliann

The thing is, that the majority of people around the world use sarcasm....It's not always meant to be nasty, it's how the person on the receiving end takes it!

7:13 pm

jaxx7

My siser has a salivary gland that was sqeezed many years ago to get rid of stones. Now she has problems with trigeminal neuralgia and the gland is so damaged that they can't operate. Taking the whole thing out seems a good idea to me, lilli

7:13 pm

Hmmm! Never realised you could pluralise that eye infection,

How Dorens finished so quickly yesterday, I can't imagine!

7:16 pm

periwinkle

I can't either, lickety was not even up yet

7:17 pm

lilliann

They don't know if it is malignant yet Jaxx, until they take it out and take a piece and i can't remember the word for what they do, but the doctor siad he could remove all of it and don't worry as she would still have spit...lol.I think he's from Belgium and my parents live in France.They get operated alot quicker than we do here

7:17 pm

Lizlin

I'm in awe of so many of our babblers, who finish so quickly.

7:17 pm

lilliann

Night Jaxx, tc hin.Hugs

7:20 pm

MollyL

I agree. It's hard to imagine someone finishing a 266 word grid in 14 minutes with no Lickety.

7:21 pm

Lizlin

:)

7:21 pm

periwinkle

there are a few words that are new to me

7:21 pm

Lizlin

Me too

7:22 pm

periwinkle

Molly I loved your clue for the pe8. it is actually a hard cheese made from sheep's milk

7:23 pm

Lizlin

I found that from Molly's clue, though I thought the cheese ended in o

7:23 pm

MollyL

Oh thanks, it just made me think of a pasta loving muscle guy.
: D

7:23 pm

periwinkle

it also ends in o Liz

7:23 pm

Lizlin

It made me laugh - and that's a hard thing to do first thing in the morning!

7:25 pm

MollyL

Laughing is good. Glad the clue put you in a positive mind frame.

7:25 pm

Lizlin

Definitely a good way to start the day :)

7:25 pm

Lizlin

Especially after being woken at 5 am by a barking dog.

7:26 pm

lilliann

I don't understand how babblers here finish so quickly, even with expert....i want their brains! :)

7:26 pm

Lizlin

I finish quicker now than I did - certainly regularly playing helps.

7:27 pm

periwinkle

it sure does Liz

7:27 pm

lilliann

I was the same with the cheese, i thought it ended in o.

7:28 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks. My last 5 x s and t words were really obvious. Must've been very tired last night.

7:28 pm

periwinkle

congrats Liz

7:28 pm

Lizlin

Perhaps there's another version of that cheese in the USA?

7:28 pm

Lizlin

Thanks. I have to go - challah just about ready to go into the oven. Enjoy your evenings / nights.

Lizlin

That sounds quite likely peri - good thought.

Aye, i suppose the more you're on here but there are alot more odd words added every day, depending on the grid!

7:29 pm

lilliann

Yay!! Liz.Tc hin

7:33 pm

crosshair

I tip my cap to those who can sustain a word finding speed like that. :)

7:34 pm

MollyL

No, today, right after the flip (at 12:14) Dorens said she was done. Super Babble genius.

7:34 pm

penquis

8:23 pm

aebmusica

se7/32.....clue please

8:23 pm

stidmama

I agree. It would go well with my floors... LOL but my Swedish Tom likes white walls I think. He "deals" with it when I paint colors on walls, but the white everywhere look definitely doesn't bother him the way it does me! :-)

8:24 pm

stidmama

aeb: snake

8:24 pm

stidmama

(was thinking snake fish, but that would be an eel... LOL)

8:24 pm

Bugsaw

Mr Bugs is a Swede and only likes white but I don't care. He is colour blind so I have final say on colour.

8:25 pm

cybernan

first in 7 please?

8:25 pm

stidmama

LOL my Tom's dad is red-green deficient... partly why we painted our house blue, gray, and white. I knew he would be able to appreciate it.

8:25 pm

aebmusica

ty stid.....don't know why I couldn't find it for 25 minutes?

8:26 pm

stidmama

I get word-blind in grids like this, aeb. If I go away for a while usually a few more show up. But not today, it seems.

8:26 pm

Bugsaw

yes, this is an annoying grid

8:27 pm

stidmama

okay, found 5 more. I think I am justified in listing. :-) brb

8:36 pm

JBsAnno

I am not any better, bugs! And I just missed Stid!

8:36 pm

JBsAnno

Hi, nan, glad you were able to get it!

8:38 pm

8:39 pm

Bugsaw

8:41 pm

JBsAnno

Gotta finish and go to bed. Have to be up now at 4:50am to get work ready, and walk to train station about a quarter mile away. But it's good to have a job to go to!

So, diving in! *sploosh*

Bugsaw

I love retirement

Nef

why is it that now I'm retired my body gets up earlier than my brain?

8:44 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, Bugs, I am very thankful that so much is right in my life. There's a lot of pain and sorrow out there, and I have been touched very lightly in comparison. I have a lot to be grateful for :)

8:45 pm

Nef

Hi Bugs, crossy, welki, & JBsAnno

Bugsaw

Sometimes I wake up early and think, what can I possibly do at 6 in the morning that can't wait and I roll over and drop off again

8:46 pm

JBsAnno

I had last year "off" (read: no job), and though I did enjoy a lot of it, and yes, sleeping in was great, I'm very glad to be working again!

8:46 pm

JBsAnno

haha @ Bugs

8:48 pm

JBsAnno

Hi, welki! How's it hanging in the north part of North America?

8:49 pm

8:49 pm

Nef

Bugs, I'd love to fall back asleep; but once I get up & go to the bathroom (anyone else here have that darn "bladder alarm" that wakes you up too early?);DH starts snoring - inspire of his CPAP mask.

8:51 pm

cybernan

bladder alarm is just another accoutrement of the golden years - get used to it!

8:51 pm

JBsAnno

My 'bladder alarm' has 4 very pointy feet that know just where to land on my tummy. The hungrier she is, the pointier those little paws become!

8:52 pm

9:20 pm

Nef

I don't know if it's my keyboard acting up or my fingers aren't hitting the letters hard enough but I seem to skip letters a lot lately

9:21 pm

mkg

there is an i in fourth row that is first column. that is what i need. ty.

9:21 pm

cybernan

I do too -- tired fingers I think

9:21 pm

cybernan

or that the touch is different between my laptop and desktop keyboard

9:22 pm

cybernan

in + vowel + location

9:23 pm

cybernan

2nd se 6 please?

9:25 pm

Nef

mkg, I apologize; You are the person I was talking to.
mkg the 1st column 4th row "i" is the word I clued. By stretching out the metal (that comes from the 3rd row i) I meant that you should plural it -- which will take 3 more letters, so it's an ir 7/28

9:27 pm

cybernan

ir + neuter pronoun + conjugation of to be, then plural

9:28 pm

Nef

nan, so far the only se 6 I've found is the se 6/18 se +****-night!

9:29 pm

cybernan

that must be it -- just have to think of some kind of night that isn't good!

9:30 pm

Nef

se + pajama dress spelled wrong?

9:35 pm

Nef

9:38 pm

cybernan

9:39 pm

Nef

not sure id it's the first so7; but it's the first one I've found. It's a military wordier moving troops

hi stid. I'm just catching up on the fire in

10:30 pm

stidmama

10:30 pm

stidmama

fire in... ??

10:30 pm

Nef

Hamilton, MT.. (where Harpjane & Jilly live

10:31 pm

stidmama

oh, right -- last I looked (this morning) it seemed to be really bad. :-(

10:31 pm

Nef

sorry; my fingers aren't working so well tonight

10:33 pm

stidmama

no worries. My eyes aren't either (spent most of the day reading). Was good to read, but it was all professional stuff. I need to find something fiction that is interesting enough to spend a couple hours on!

10:33 pm

Nef

I have family in Missoula which is 50 miles from there; my sister's husband has family in Hamilton. :-(

10:34 pm

Nef

What types of fiction do you read?

10:34 pm

stidmama

historical fiction occasionally; science fiction more often and occasionally fantasy

10:35 pm

stidmama

oh boy -- are they okay?

10:39 pm

Nef

IDK, Missoula is okay; not sure of BIL's family though (my sister hasn't posted anything on them; so maybe no news is good news??

10:40 pm

stidmama

Assume the best, I think. There would be news otherwise.

10:49 pm

Nef

I hope you're right stid. (I was off checking her FB page & didn't see anything)

10:49 pm

stidmama

I figured. (((hugs))) waiting with no word is rough.
