Lizlin

Congrats Flosey and sleep well

2:28 am

flosey

thanks Liz

2:37 am

sprite

good morning all

2:45 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Sprite. How are you today and did Tim enjoy his birthday?

2:46 am

sprite

hiya Liz! *hugs* I am fine, just back from the gym and feeling good about myself. Tim had a very long workday yesterday, but a few friends came anyway and he enjoyed it very much. More party fun to come, probably tomorrow.

2:47 am

sprite

how are you today, and how is your beloved?

2:47 am

Lizlin

We're both well, thanks. Cooking and gym today. Now relaxing.

2:48 am

sprite

relaxing is good :) Glad to hear you are both well.

2:48 am

Lizlin

Sounds like a great start to your day. What else is planned?

2:49 am

sprite

dentist :( Am already stressed. And taking care of Terra. Poor dog has hurt himself, bruising the muscles of his left leg. He is in pain. Needs lots of TLC.

2:50 am

Lizlin

Hugs to you and Terra. Sounds like you both need them. But on the bright side, think how good you'll feel after you've seen the dentist.

2:51 am

sprite

so true. And my love is also going, so I don't have to face it alone. Thanks for the hugs :)

2:51 am

Lizlin

And I bet Terra loves the TLC.

2:52 am

sprite

oh yes. Though he sometimes wants to be alone too, and he has his bench for that. Goes right in, lies down with a sigh and sleeps some more. Then a little later, back out and pressing against my legs. So sweet.

2:52 am

Lizlin

Aw :)

2:53 am

sprite

we can learn a lot, looking at our pets. He simply does what is best for him to heal. No frustration, no forcing, simply doing the best he can.

2:54 am

Lizlin

I guess we are always tempted to push ourselves.

2:54 am

sprite

yeah and feeling guilty about not doing stuff. It is hard to make your recovery your first priority. But not when you are a dog :D

2:55 am

Lizlin

Something to do with ability to understand and reason :)

2:56 am

sprite

our thinking brain is a great tool, but sometimes our worst enemy

2:56 am

Lizlin

But without pushing ourselves we'd never achieve more.

2:57 am

Lizlin

Balance between doing enough and pushing too far.

2:57 am

sprite

it is all a matter of balance, I guess. The ongoing challenge.

2:57 am

Lizlin

Ha! Snap!

2:57 am

sprite

:D

2:58 am

Lizlin

Oooh! An 8 :)

2:59 am

sprite

good!

2:59 am

Lizlin

Not an8 but an 8 :)

2:59 am

sprite

always ambiguous, true. Though without an N in the grid, you are pretty safe

3:00 am

Lizlin

True but I've seen people get confused by that statement.

3:01 am

sprite

oh yes. I am one of them. And also one of the people giving it, lol

3:02 am

Lizlin

How's Caya enjoying her course? 1st year must be almost over.

3:03 am

sprite

it is over. She has done great and enjoyed it very much. She is now hiking through scandinavia with two friends.

3:03 am

Lizlin

Awesome.

3:04 am

sprite

if all goes as planned, she will be back in time for the farewell dinner with Don and Rose.

3:05 am

Lizlin

Cool. I know Rose would live to meet her.

3:05 am

sprite

Caya said, unless the trains go on strike, she will be there.

3:06 am

Lizlin

How long are you with Rose and Don't?

3:06 am

Lizlin

Don

3:06 am

sprite

they will be here for 9 days.

3:07 am

Lizlin

And does that include going to see Ruby? Such a babble trip!

3:08 am

sprite

no, Rose and Don will travel on by car, visiting more of Europe in between the Netherlands and France. France will be from June 16.

3:09 am

Lizlin

Brave of them driving - on the wrong side if the road ;)

3:09 am

sprite

really? Do you Aussies drive on the left side??

3:09 am

Lizlin

Yes.

3:10 am

sprite

didn't know that. Yeah, that will take some concentration in the beginning, no doubt.

3:11 am

Lizlin

Where are they actually going. I know The Netherlands and UK.

3:12 am

sprite

I don't know exactly. Swiss for sure, they will pick me up in Geneve. Germany probably then too.

3:13 am

Lizlin

Think I'm a bit out of to5 :)

3:13 am

sprite

Don has done most of the planning

3:14 am

Lizlin

Wow! Only just found the lone t. So obvious too.

3:14 am

sprite

good job!

3:18 am

sprite

finding the private eye was fun

3:18 am

Lizlin

Not know that I have.

3:19 am

Lizlin

Don't

3:19 am

sprite

very sherlock holmes-y word, at least to me

3:20 am

Lizlin

Hanks - that gave it to me without having looking.

3:20 am

sprite

good! I hope I didn't spoil it for you.

3:20 am

Lizlin

Sorry about all the typos

3:20 am

Lizlin

Not at all. I've slowed right down.

3:21 am

Lizlin

Going to take a break. Have a lovely day and hugs.

3:21 am

sprite

have a lovely evening, Liz, and hugs for you both

3:25 am

7:22 am

periwinkle

the English language is very interesting. me7/32 is a childhood illness. Never understood why the singular was also accepted. Now I know it is a tapeworm larva.

7:22 am

periwinkle

I am sorry. I wrote it down wrong when I read the chat log. I meant the fe8 which I now have.

7:28 am

rubyfoo

See you later, nan

7:28 am

periwinkle

do you play that, ruby?

7:28 am

They are saying for chronic migraines to check into botox injections

8:55 am

Scrabbler

My neurologist mentioned that as a next step, but my migraines are not that frequent or severe. I did have chronic (daily) migraines 2 summers ago, then started Topamax.

10:23 am

Judi

Good morning, y'all!

10:24 am

rururocks

There might be a good reason for that MLF :D

10:24 am

mael

I would groan at the puns, but that might be misinterpreted too :)

10:24 am

rururocks

lol mael

10:24 am

rururocks

there's a groaner and a groanee

10:24 am

Judi

Just read back in chat. *covers eyes & blushes *

10:25 am

rururocks

well.. I'm guessing a lot of players pulled a boner not finding that word

10:28 am

rururocks

I wonder why it wasn't spelled with a PH instead of an F

10:29 am

rururocks

(waiting for Eva's next pun)

10:33 am

rururocks

well.. .I guess it's just a phallacy to continue with this joke

10:33 am

bichon

re 7/28, 4th one, pls

10:34 am

aebmusica

it is phar better to not continue.

10:37 am

rururocks

sorry aeb.. I was just trying to poke fun

10:39 am

Judi

You can never get enough inuendo and tongue-in-cheek here.

10:39 am

bichon

If the outside ever knew, we'd have millions of Babblers

10:40 am

rururocks

or tongue lashings

10:43 am

bichon

I don't see what the problem. Been married 46 years

10:43 am

Judi

Not really, Molls. Nothing really surprises me in Babble anymore. It's all food for puns.

10:43 am

rururocks

yeah well Judi keeps it tight and zipped today

10:44 am

MollyL

Ru is trying to keep a stiff upper...never mind

10:44 am

rururocks

LOL

10:45 am

MollyL

Pun??? Witzelsucht!!!

10:45 am

Judi

Anyone have a clue for the Al8?

10:45 am

rururocks

some people think that this R rated punning makes me a hardened criminal

10:45 am

MollyL

Every one of them + what you plant to grow things

10:46 am

bichon

as + consonant + what germinates into a flower

10:46 am

Judi

Puns usually raise a bone of contention with someone here.

10:46 am

MollyL

Yes Ru, a hardened criminal, or at the very least, someone with frontal lobe issues
: P

10:46 am

bichon

You should live in my house

10:46 am

Judi

Tys.

10:47 am

rururocks

those aren't my only frontal issues

10:47 am

MollyL

The bones of contention go with the sour grapes

10:47 am

MollyL

Well, frontal issues are better than rectal ones
: D

10:47 am

bichon

How's the weather where yoou'all are

10:48 am

rururocks

overcast and dreary here

10:48 am

MollyL

Rain, rain, more rain, then some rain with the probability of more rain.

10:48 am

bichon

Same here, but looking like Ireland here

10:49 am

aebmusica

ruru....don't let them pick on you ....puns are full of double entendres....and it is the hearer's choice to choose to hear the off color part of a pun.

10:49 am

Judi

Sun is out now. Cloudy though. Keeps looking like rain.

10:50 am

MollyL

Oh aeb, you might be missing the point. Ru intends his puns to be off-color
: )

10:50 am

bichon

It's rained for the last three days. As a gardener, I love it. Last spring was the pits

10:51 am

rururocks

it was all those years of sunday school molly.. ruined me for life

10:51 am

Oh I know that, Molly. I was just talking in general.

10:51 am

MollyL

Ha! Try 12 years of Catholic schooling.

10:52 am

Judi

True. Ru's therapist encourages him to use clever puns as therapy.

10:52 am

aebmusica

therapy for what, Judy?

10:53 am

bichon

The students at an all-Caltholic high school want girls to be able to take another girl to the prom. Big hullabaoo

10:53 am

5:55 pm

zoozzoom

Nice at first but must zap the energy out of you after a while.

5:55 pm

(This is a good crowd tonight) :-)

8:34 pm

JBsAnno

I think stiddy missed the chair when she sat down and is now on the floor, because I don't see her. Or, she's engrossed in the grid.

8:35 pm

JBsAnno

I love seeing your blue hair icon in the chog, Nef, so fun :)

8:35 pm

Nef

the grid or maybe she got interrupted too just as she sat down?

8:36 pm

Nef

Thanks JBs, I just wish I had that much hair in real life

8:36 pm

stidmama

wait-wait... JB????!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!! MJCLs for EVERYONE!!!!! *with cherries on top, of course!*

8:36 pm

JBsAnno

I'm sending sympathetic waves your way, Nef, as I deal with my own adhd issues. Can be overwhelming with one person, right?

8:37 pm

stidmama

and tor. :-)

8:37 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, there you are! Did you run out to Starbucks for those mmmmmmmMJCLs! hee hee

8:37 pm

stidmama

JB... LOL I FINALLY figured out that I am ADHD. This whole percussion thing feels so natural. I was talking with a friend on fb. Trying to multitask... not doing so well!

8:38 pm

JBsAnno

It's almost a reunion! but where did Trif go?

8:38 pm

Trifioso

this is a tricky grid!

8:38 pm

stidmama

I haven't started yet. Trying to decide if I want to!

8:38 pm

JBsAnno

Hmm, if they pop up when I ask where they went, what if I asked for swmbo or brandyjack?

8:39 pm

Nef

LOL! Try it!

8:39 pm

stidmama

hmmm or montreal?

8:40 pm

JBsAnno

True, Trif, very true

8:40 pm

stidmama

actually, jillibus should be around at some point *peeks into corners of chog*

8:40 pm

stidmama

hmph she is NOT online right now.

8:40 pm

JBsAnno

So, where did montreal or movieman or angelsong or crosshair or cybernan go?

8:41 pm

JBsAnno

If any of them reply right now, imma gonna need nuther of them MJCLs, stidster!

8:41 pm

Nef

Hopefully, she's not doing silly things like tripping again! 8-I

8:42 pm

Nef

Okay, I have to ask: what is an MJCLs? (Google was not my friend tonight)

8:42 pm

stidmama

montreal is often on at occasions just as I am entering to lurk.... nan has a different schedule entirely most days! :-)

8:42 pm

JBsAnno

Is she okay, Nef?

8:42 pm

stidmama

mochajavachocolatte (trademark stidmama)

8:42 pm

Trifioso

this is a tricky grid!

8:43 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, way back machine here, right, stid?

8:43 pm

stidmama

Jill had some health issues recently, JB, but is well on her way to recovery.

8:43 pm

JBsAnno

TY stid, good to hear.

8:44 pm

JBsAnno

Google don't know stidmama's imaginative vocabulary, Nef!

8:45 pm

Trifioso

hi, sorry - my screen froze and I had to restart and all

8:45 pm

JBsAnno

Trif, I'm nearing the finish line, do you want any hints or clues or stats or rah-rahs? More chocolate, perhaps?

8:45 pm

stidmama

hey trifioso! :-D

8:46 pm

Trifioso

nah, I will be lucky to make halfway. but thanks!

8:50 pm

Nef

sorry, I was called away by DH who wants to bake rhubarb crisp now (at 9PM)

8:50 pm

Trifioso

god bless, nef, god bless

8:51 pm

torgone

I haven't had rhubarb since I was a kid ..

8:51 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, my. Nef. Oh my. I feel your pain/exasperation/love for your DH!

8:52 pm

Nef

At least my daughter isn't here to add her ADHD into the mix today. :-)

8:52 pm

stidmama

I don't like rhubarb... I also don't like brussels sprouts. The first is far too sour, the latter too bitter!

8:53 pm

Nef

At least DH is a good cook; but I *thought* he was going to bed early! (That's what he told me 1/2 hour ago.)

8:53 pm

Trifioso

I LOVE Brussels sprouts. rhubarb I can take or leave. Mr.

8:53 pm

Nef

rhubarb crisp is not sour at all, stid. In fact, he always makes it almost too sweet for me!

8:54 pm

Trifioso

hate took the rhubarb we had growing in the yard when he left, so I haven't had it since

8:54 pm

Bugsaw

hello friends. so nice to see you all here when I arrive

8:54 pm

torgone

Me mum used to make rhubarb pie. Probably had a ton of suger in it.

8:55 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, good, stid, we are in the same boat. I really want to like brussels sprouts more, but I can't make myself.

8:55 pm

Trifioso

hello bugsaw!

8:55 pm

JBsAnno

Hi, Bugs!

8:55 pm

torgone

sugar

8:55 pm

Nef

If you pan roast the brussels sprouts with potatoes & other root veggies, they are delicious. I'm not very fond of boiled ones though

8:56 pm

Nef

Hi Bugs!

8:56 pm

JBsAnno

Even the pan roasted ones, with balsamic vinegar, blue cheese dressing, and toasted panko breadcrumbs. It's just a food I'm very indifferent to.

8:57 pm

Bugsaw

I am so hot I don't feel much like cooking. I much prefer berry cobbler to rhubarb anything tho

8:57 pm

stidmama

I have that genetic thing that makes brussels sprouts the most vile vegetable ever served... I love how they smell, but the taste is infinitely bitter.

8:57 pm

JBsAnno

Although now I'm ready for a snack after talking about food and pie and roasting. And cobbler, thanks, Bugs!

8:57 pm

stidmama

Glad you are here bugs!

8:58 pm

Trifioso

wow, that's funny

8:58 pm

Bugsaw

too many words left. sigh

8:58 pm

Nef

When our kids were young, our daughter was (like most girls) crazy about anything Barbie. So we called them Barbie cabbages; & she ate them. (Our son didn't mind them so no problem with that)

8:58 pm

stidmama

I have 160 to go now. Probably won't finish (again) but having so much fun chatting!

8:58 pm

JBsAnno

I just love cilantro, the smell and the taste. But my mom can't stand it, it is vile to her. I know what you mean, stid!

8:59 pm

JBsAnno

Barbie cabbages, ha ha ha ha!

8:59 pm

Bugsaw

good plan Nef. One of mine thought they were Special Sprouts so he ate them since everyone thought they were special.

9:00 pm

stidmama

It's a warm day for sure, bugs. I am waiting for the others to come home before deciding on anything supperlike. Tom has the grill mostly ready to go, so we might cook outside.

9:00 pm

Trifioso

I'm off as well. but I will be sad to leave

9:00 pm

Nef

JB, we belong to a CSA and last year we'd get a huge bundle of cilantro every week. The bunch of stems was at least 3 -4" in diameter; -- Every week. (I no longer care for cilantro anymore....)

9:01 pm

JBsAnno

I didn't care who liked what, no matter what my mom and grandmom said. If I didn't like something, I wouldn't eat it. Period. If someone else liked it, they could have mine, too!

9:01 pm

JBsAnno

GNight, Trif - so good to see you tonight!

9:01 pm

Bugsaw

I am like JBs.

9:01 pm

Trifioso

that is so good to hear, thank you!

9:01 pm

Bugsaw

Bye Trif.

9:02 pm

JBsAnno

Wow, Nef, that's understandable!

9:02 pm

Nef

LOL! JB. If we didn't eat something at supper when we were kids, it was served to us again at the next meal (even breakfast)

9:02 pm

stidmama

I always asked my boys to TRY new foods, but never required it. I have too many allergies to foods that could kill me to insist that anyone eat something distasteful!

9:02 pm

Nef

Bye Trifi.

9:02 pm

stidmama

later trifioso! (((((hugs))))) see you sooner next time I hope!

9:03 pm

Bugsaw

there were 4 kids in our family so if I didn't like something I could usually pass it to a sibling who would help me out when Mum wasn't looking. We all did it to get around the drama that would follow if we left something.

9:04 pm

Nef

I think that (because we were 9 in our family, counting Grandma); we didn't waste food. We had to take something of everything that was passed, but then you had to eat it too

9:04 pm

JBsAnno

I wasn't trying to be contrary or rebellious, I just couldn't force the food down. The epic battle of the baked beans between me and my grandmother was won only when I started retching at the table...

9:05 pm

Bugsaw

we were served so there was no choosing.

9:06 pm

Nef

SO I always gave my kids a "No Thank You" helping (maybe a teaspoon or even less, or strange foods); because I thought that a taste is enough.

9:06 pm

Bugsaw

I am sorry that things went that far for you JBs. My sister was like you. I just wouldn't do it.

9:06 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, there were five of us. And a dog (labrador) who knew exactly which kid didn't like what food, and he would lay under the table with his head pointed at that kid. I sat by my father, so it was harder for me to slip him the liver. I can't stand liver!

9:06 pm

Nef

Oh, Wow! That would do it for me too!

9:07 pm

Nef

(I like liver, if it isn't over-cooked til it becomes shoe leather!)

9:07 pm

aebmusica

ou5/14.....clue please

9:08 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, it became one of the family stories, Bugs, and it didn't cause me any harm. I really was trying, because it was Memere, and she loved us, and always gave us fudgesicles before bed. That night she realized that I wasn't being bad, I really just could not stomach it.

9:08 pm

Bugsaw

sorry aeb

9:08 pm

Nef

There were 6 kids in our family. We (actually, my whole community, I think) didn't know we were poor until we moved away.

9:08 pm

Nef

Hi web!

9:09 pm

Bugsaw

It really bothered me to see my sister try has hard as she did but still be forced to sit there

9:09 pm

stidmama

hello aeb *looking for ou words*

9:10 pm

aebmusica

nvm

9:10 pm

JBsAnno

Hi, aeb!! Oh, good, glad you got it. My brain is mush for clues tonight :)

9:10 pm

Nef

ou 5/14 is a combo word, app of in & 2 letter word

9:11 pm

JBsAnno

Nef, I think your keyboard just doesn't like you...

9:12 pm

JBsAnno

Be back in a few, cats are becoming hangry.

9:12 pm

stidmama

thanks for that aeb!

9:12 pm

stidmama

later JB

9:13 pm

stidmama

Have to rest my eyes... even WITH reading glasses barely making out the chog. *many smiles, hugs, and choclits for all* see you later! *poof*

9:14 pm

Nef

JBs, I'm trying to type with a thumb brace & I use spellcheck to *fix* all my stupid typos (you don't want to see what happens without spellcheck)

9:15 pm

origami

Back to my couch for a while. I have been sick with a high fever for days. Even fainted today, landing on the floor and breaking my glasses. May be back later.

9:15 pm

Bugsaw

oh my origami! see somebody to lower the fever!

9:16 pm

Nef

Oh, No ori! Take care of yourself please! (why the fever?)

9:16 pm

JBsAnno

Bye, stid (big wave to all west of Philadelphia!), good night ori, hope you feel better very soon, like, tonight!

9:16 pm

origami

Yes, if not better tomorrow, bugs. Not sure Nef. Some sort of bug with cough and fever.

9:17 pm

Nef

Maybe a trip to the urgent care is in order (or the doc if they are open on Saturday there). You sound a bit dehydrated (fevers can do that)

9:18 pm

JBsAnno

Nef, I was thinking after I hit 'enter' for that comment that perhaps it was a hand thing for you, did not mean to be unkind. I understand hand pain, have CTS in both hands, and wear splints A LOT.

9:24 pm

Nef

JBs, it's just arthritis for me. I had injections in my left thumb the beginning of May, I've had the thumb surgery (an "anchovy procedure" in the right) but didn't want to spend summer in a cast or splint running to P.T. several times a week. I know I need the same surgery in the left thumb, but the steroid shot puts it off until fall at least.

9:24 pm

JBsAnno

Whew, that's fireworks for me!

9:25 pm

stidmama

***stealth mode (yay JB) actually leaving now***

9:25 pm

Nef

YAY, JBsAnno!! WTG!!!

9:26 pm

JBsAnno

I KNEW she was still there, STIDDDDYYYYYY!! Real good nights now, from me as well. Yes, I'll leave through the Penalty Box, and pick up some more MJCL on the way out :)

9:27 pm

Nef

Niters, stid & JBs!

9:27 pm

JBsAnno

Glad to hear you have relief, Nef, my empathies.

9:28 pm

JBsAnno

Good night, Nef, stid, aeb, Bugs, and tor and all the rest of you enjoying the grid before the flip. Good to see you all, this was much fun tonight!

9:29 pm

Nef

No, not much relief, but just having the injection means no surgery for 3 months. (f our weather would settle down, that would also help. MN is a "theater of seasons" you know

10:09 pm

aebmusica

sc5/20.....clue please

10:10 pm

Nef

ae, I don't have it but am now looking for it for us

10:10 pm

aebmusica

10:11 pm

bookwomen

10:11 pm

aebmusica

10:11 pm

Nef

10:12 pm

Nef

NM, book women is right (typos + spellcheck got me again)

10:13 pm

bookwomen

I actually looked to see if I had the wrong word LOL

10:17 pm

Nef

I forget to enter words before I try cluing them; then find out I've got the wrong one too.
