harpjane

found some insects

2:00 am

rubyfoo

Goodmorning. Rain was predicted,k but so far, so good

2:01 am

harpjane

We finally have some. Our fires have simmered down. What a relief

2:02 am

rubyfoo

Is it cold yet?

2:02 am

harpjane

and a feline....

2:03 am

rubyfoo

A friend sent me a photo of her Ragamuffin cat yesterday. I think it's the prettiest cat l've ever seen!

2:03 am

harpjane

It's relative cold since we went from a drought and heat wave to normal September. It's above freezing in town but just barely. It snowing and slushy in the mountains and on the passes

2:04 am

rubyfoo

I was hoping for an Indian summer but, alas, no Indians here (either kind)

2:05 am

rubyfoo

naans

2:05 am

rubyfoo

sorry

2:06 am

harpjane

We might get a rebound of Indian summer, but it will be nice to have the forest fires slow down!

2:06 am

harpjane

volcano poker alert

2:06 am

rubyfoo

I can imagine. Do animals show up on your property, escaping from the fires?

2:08 am

harpjane

For the most part no, but I have heard stories of animals running out of a forest toward the river, just before a fire storm. A friend watched bears, snakes, birds, squirrels, and deer all running/slithering toward the river. He said it was like a scene from the Peaceable Kingdom!

2:11 am

rubyfoo

When the creek behind his house rises, snakes, armadillos and other creatures arrive on my son's deck

2:11 am

rubyfoo

sifts

2:12 am

rubyfoo

no more talking for me!

2:12 am

harpjane

thanks for the words

2:13 am

harpjane

i don't supposed you could accidentally type in the 8?

2:14 am

rubyfoo

l wish! LOL

2:35 am

sprite

good morning all

2:40 am

Maisie

Morning sprite , how are you today

2:41 am

sprite

*hugs Maisie* I am fine, had a nightshift which was heartwarming and amazing, am slowly coming down on earth, lol. How are you today?

2:42 am

Maisie

What do you do at night

2:42 am

sprite

I do volunteer work for a telephone help service. We offer a listening ear to anyone who needs it.

2:43 am

Maisie

Ah with you, must be hard at times though

2:44 am

sprite

sometimes it can be hard. when people are in real trouble, desperate, and our empathy makes us feel it too. But it is also rewarding and so very very necessary. Not many listeners in this world.

2:45 am

Maisie

Do you get a lot of calls at night seeing as it's long and lonely if you're in need

2:46 am

sprite

yes, the nightshifts are usually the ones with the most serious problems. Loneliness and desperation often are tougher to bear during the night.

2:47 am

Maisie

True, you must be exhausted

2:47 am

Maisie

I suppose this helps you relax before you attempt sleep

2:49 am

sprite

not really, it is very rewarding too. I usually come home with a deep sense of gratefulness.
And yeah, babble is a great way to wind down. Am not going to sleep now, will wait till this afternoon for a nana nap, or early to bed tonight. I slept from 8 pm till 1 am.

2:50 am

Maisie

Good thinking then it won't mess up tonight's sleep

2:51 am

sprite

exactly :D I try to plan my agenda empty for the day after, so not many obligations today! Some knitting while binge-watching a series on netflix, methinks. What are your plans for today?

2:53 am

Maisie

Oh I've got 3 children today and overnight, the other baby is going to Nana's because I haven't enough beds for 4. My son was 40 this week which makes me feel old. He has a friend down for the weekend so they are off to the races

2:54 am

sprite

congrats on your son... and you will never be old! You are amazing, the way you manage your grandkids.

2:55 am

Maisie

I must admit I don't feel or act anywhere near my age. I expect it will hit me one day, but I am so lucky with my health

2:57 am

sprite

age is so very relative. Your mindset and view of life are a much stronger influence than the amount of years you lived. Health is important, but I know people who struggle with ill health and are still so very young at heart.

2:58 am

Maisie

True, so true

3:05 am

sprite

yay, right column greyed out

3:05 am

Maisie

Still got 3 more L's to find

3:06 am

sprite

yeah there is a 6/7 combo that took me quite a while

3:07 am

Maisie

definitely haven't found that yet, phantom lustre

3:07 am

sprite

nice one. Let me know if you want help for that combo

3:08 am

Maisie

Ok, did find the monetary unit from Angola thanks to one of your lists

3:09 am

sprite

yay! I love it when the lists are used.

3:28 am

sprite

fireflies. Good grid today. I really enjoyed our chat, Maisie! Anything I can help with before I go?

3:29 am

sprite

oh, I want to give the worst clue ever, for the L combo... "another word for xanthophyll" :D

3:30 am

Had a dream last night that today's puzzle had 921 words.

9:37 am

car.eeyore

I see that my dream did NOT come true :(

9:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi Car. That is funny.

9:39 am

car.eeyore

Hello!

9:39 am

car.eeyore

Silly brain!

9:41 am

Scrabbler

I have the best dreams--so vivid and detailed. They fascinate me.

9:48 am

car.eeyore

Very cool!

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Do you ever have recurring dreams? I have one where I live in the same house.

9:52 am

car.eeyore

I used to. Not very often now though.

9:56 am

car.eeyore

Have to run. HAGD!!! :)

9:56 am

Scrabbler

Bye.

10:09 am

rururocks

I can't post here about my dreams

10:11 am

Scrabbler

Rated X?

10:23 am

rururocks

Sometimes. But mostly they are weird

10:32 am

Scrabbler

Dreams are interesting.

10:33 am

MollyL

I had a dream that...um...never mind
: D

10:33 am

rururocks

mine change all the time

10:34 am

rururocks

yep.. molly.. that's what I'm saying too and sticking to it

10:34 am

MollyL

I can say with all honesty that I don't dream about Babble

10:36 am

rururocks

I have once or twice... not often though

10:37 am

rururocks

I think it is because I play it everyday

10:38 am

rubyfoo

Hello. Doess anybody know a trick for getting a tiny splinter out. It isn't wood, much small

10:38 am

rururocks

a needle will do it

10:38 am

rubyfoo

smaller* and it's gettinginfected

10:40 am

rururocks

soak it and get real pointy tweezers

10:41 am

MollyL

Or soak it in really warm water and gently press around the splinter area to get it out.

10:41 am

rubyfoo

Thank you; lll try

10:41 am

MollyL

If it is getting infected, douse it in peroxide or alcohol

10:42 am

rubyfoo

Where is my mother when l need her?

10:47 am

Scrabbler

I use a needle to dig out splinters.

10:47 am

rubyfoo

Bye and thanks

10:50 am

hurshy

phantom: insult

10:52 am

bichon

I have recurring and spectaccular dreams due to taking a SSR

10:53 am

Scrabbler

Me too, bichon. Just incredibly detailed and fascinating.

10:55 am

bichon

And when I wake up I want to tell Mr. Bich all about them. It grows old quickly for him.

10:56 am

Scrabbler

I know many people that say they don't dream at all. I enjoy sleeping because it is like going to the cinema.

10:56 am

hurshy

i watched a few episodes of a hulu show called "Chance" starring Hugh Laurie last night, so then i dreamed about being murdered. i think i actually screamed aloud as i woke up from one of them.

10:56 am

bichon

I love the ones where I hve to go back to college to complete one more course

10:57 am

hurshy

oh i've had those too bichon!

10:57 am

10:57 am

hurshy

and i can never find the schedule so then i keep missing class and am probably going to fail

10:58 am

bichon

10:58 am

hurshy

Serotonin Selective Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) (why were we leaving the I off?)

10:59 am

hurshy

scrabs will correct me if i am wrong

11:02 am

Scrabbler

I have that dream frequently, bichon. I return to HS to take English. I used Monarch Notes in HS to survive English. The only book I finished was Catcher in the Rye.

11:02 am

Scrabbler

Correct, Hurshy.

11:06 am

Scrabbler

I also have the recurring dream in which cannot find my locker or if I think I have the correct locker I do not recall the combination.

11:08 am

Scrabbler

60 left. I am done. Enjoy the day.

11:41 am

12:28 pm

rururocks

High school was so long ago. I hated high school

12:29 pm

MollyL

Not good years for most people. I had more fun in college.

12:31 pm

rururocks

I had way more fun in college

12:35 pm

rururocks

I had better grades in college than high school too. Generally crappy teaching at my high school

12:45 pm

Judi

Yo yo yo, peeps!

LeslieAnn

12:46 pm

Judi

Reading back in chat. Scrabbs - I still have a recurring dream in which I forget my locker combination and have to schlep down to the school office to recover it.

12:52 pm

Judi

I had a blast in high school. Only briefly went to college, so... not much to tell there.

1:08 pm

TheByzantine

A high school needs drug intervention.

1:10 pm

mael

1:10 pm

mael

1:10 pm

mael

sorry, f7

1:11 pm

Douglas

Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened **** lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

1:12 pm

TheByzantine

Posteriors and the other is the plural of enhancements to the bodice area

1:13 pm

Judi

lol. Best to keep a low profile then, Douglas.

1:13 pm

mael

monty python for the win

1:13 pm

mael

thanks

1:13 pm

mael

I literally cackled

1:14 pm

Judi

I forget what the **** word is in that quote.

1:16 pm

Judi

If it's moistened, it can't be good.

1:16 pm

Douglas

It's the only time I've ever heard that word.

1:17 pm

mael

to be fair, there are a lot to choose from in that skit. Watery tart. Strange women lyin' in ponds.

1:17 pm

mael

in that particular case it's a bi4

1:18 pm

Douglas

The day is already a success, having brought laughter to Babble.

1:19 pm

Judi

Always much appreciated, Douglas. Lots of Monty fans here.

1:19 pm

Judi

Anyone have a clue for the Sa7/32?

1:21 pm

mael

weird word: most of christmas fella + you can be buried in an **n and plural for the 7

1:22 pm

Judi

Weird indeed. Thank you.

1:30 pm

Judi
