1:18 am

sprite

*hugs rbud* How are you and yours?

1:19 am

rbud

1:19 am

sprite

wooot well done you. :D

1:19 am

rbud

and how are you?

1:20 am

sprite

pretty good. Finally kicking the flu and starting to feel a little more energetic. Busy week ahead with nail training to start on monday and then heart academy tuesday through thursday. Looking forward to it all.

1:22 am

rbud

wow, you go, girl! more energy than I have these days. :)

1:23 am

sprite

it is gonna be great. It will energize me, more than cost energy. Only the drive to the heart academy is taxing. The rest... bliss :D

1:23 am

grannyrose

whoot !! look who you find in chog when you come back later. {{ruby}} {{sprite}} {{rbud}} xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

1:24 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dearest friend! What a treat to see you this morning. How are you and Don?

1:24 am

grannyrose

ruby, all the moons were in alignment the other day. i wrapped, boxed and labeled your gift box. IT IS ON IT'S WAY !!

1:26 am

sprite

you are spoiling us rotten, rose ;)

1:26 am

grannyrose

sprite, still very achy all over, and lots of areas threatening to cramp. just another 5 days to go... i'm hanging in there.

1:26 am

rubyfoo

rose (may l call you Rosie?), you are too kind!! L am doing much better! New chemo is without side effects and l've gain some weight!!

1:26 am

sprite

I am thinking of you and sending you lots of energy and soothing vibes... and prayers go up to the Big Guy to treat you with healing gentleness.

1:27 am

grannyrose

how exciting sprite.... what a lovely week, but tiring i think.

1:27 am

rubyfoo

half!

1:27 am

grannyrose

ruby, i love the way you call me Rosie. i am so pleased about the new chemo too. hugs dearest.

1:28 am

sprite

yeah rose, it will be, but food for the soul. Which I desperately need, as you know.

1:28 am

rubyfoo

Rosie was the name of my first chow in 1990 and she will remain always in my heart!!!

1:29 am

sprite

my only worry is my beloved. It will be hard on him, being without me for a week when he is feeling so down. I hug and hold him a zillion times a day and that is what grounds him and gives him energy... cannot really do that from zeeland.

1:30 am

grannyrose

lolll... i know Ruby. it sort of tickles my weird sense of humour, that i am now known by a pup's name, not the other way around.

1:30 am

grannyrose

sprite, will you be able to phone home from where you will be?

1:31 am

sprite

yes, and I will, and I will app him or send him texts, depending on the internet coverage we will have there. It is a bit on the wonky side, being in the outmost edge of the netherlands. But I will keep in touch over the days, for sure.

1:31 am

rubyfoo

l have had MANY Roses throughout my life, including an aunt, Burt's mother, his granddraughter, yhr wife of <B' best friend and, the most beautiful of all, my Rosie!

1:32 am

rubyfoo

Others, too, but it's still too early to root around in my softening melory

1:33 am

grannyrose

sprite, could you send me his email addy? either of us will try to keep in touch with him while you are away.

1:33 am

rubyfoo

stream

1:33 am

rubyfoo

steam

1:34 am

grannyrose

lolll.. ruby s going full steam into the stream...

1:35 am

rubyfoo

sorry, no more talking!*

1:35 am

sprite

it is a quick grid, isn't it? Seems to play itself.

1:36 am

grannyrose

*giggles* that'll be the day ruby...

1:36 am

grannyrose

it seemed so to me sprite. i had a ball with it.

1:36 am

rubyfoo

haha

1:37 am

sprite

it is fun. Am over 2/3 and still not slowing down, that is rare.

1:41 am

grannyrose

brb, need more drink

1:41 am

rubyfoo

bye rosie -- too early for a bloody Mary?

1:42 am

rubyfoo

trod

1:44 am

grannyrose

nope ruby. it's sangria time.. loll... all over the world

1:45 am

sprite

and you know I make a wicked sangria :D !
*holds out glass... come on woman, share!*

1:46 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, pouring long range not really my thing. i'd miss that glass. just open your mouth... *ducks under table*

1:46 am

sprite

*opens wide*

1:47 am

grannyrose

*fetches funnel* here it comes. ruby, you ready for that bloody mary. makes a brilliant breakfast even better?

1:49 am

sprite

I taught you well. Great sangria.

1:50 am

grannyrose

of course it is. made with australian red ....

1:51 am

sprite

good wine and good people... I definitely need to visit you one day. With my beloved of course. Prolly in the coolest time of the year, lollll.

1:52 am

grannyrose

one day dearest. and we will prolly never let you go.

1:52 am

sprite

:D wouldn't that be something!

1:55 am

grannyrose

i think ruby has gone for a bloody mary.. loll... god bless her. i am so pleased that the new chemo is working so well, and to put on weight into the bargain... what a plus.

1:56 am

sprite

fireflies. One of the easiest grids ever

1:57 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!

1:58 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Sleep well tonight, darling, and have a blessed day tomorrow. I will be thinking of you and praying for you, holding you close as ever. Give my love to Don too. See you on Friday, prolly.
*hugs rbud* have a blessed day and a peaceful night!

1:59 am

grannyrose

i hope you new career start goes well my darling. xoxox

1:59 am

sprite

2:01 am

grannyrose

3:13 am

rubyfoo

back. 79 words earlier butcouldn't,find the left-hand singleton e for nbvt, but not so important

3:13 am

rubyfoo

no grid is easy for me!

3:20 am

mattygroves

I don't have that E either. I have 32 left - will probably list in a bit

3:21 am

rubyfoo

hi matty

3:21 am

mattygroves

Mornin!

3:21 am

rubyfoo

3:21 am

zoozzoom

Hello.

3:22 am

zoozzoom

ER 4/4

3:22 am

mattygroves

Yesterday was lovely - today is cool and grey, but it's supposed to get nice this week. The daffs are nearly finished already, despite our lousy weather

3:22 am

DTins

ed4/6

3:22 am

mattygroves

Can't be! There's no R near the left column E :)

3:23 am

mattygroves

Thanks DT!

3:23 am

rubyfoo

some daffs persist, but now the tulips take their turn, more efery day

3:23 am

rubyfoo

soon, the "parrots'", my faves

3:24 am

mattygroves

I want semired to be a word - a synonym for pink, perhaps

3:24 am

zoozzoom

Oh sorry I have only just started and was noisy in your convo for a lone E that was the only one I saw at the time . Did not realise there was another lone E lol

3:24 am

mattygroves

No worries :) How are things on the Isle of Wight?

3:24 am

zoozzoom

Thanks, DTins.

3:25 am

rubyfoo

no idea for keft-hand e, but l refuse to obsess!

3:25 am

rubyfoo

((zzoozz))

3:25 am

zoozzoom

Not too bad thanks, Matty. Misty in places around 11c at the moment. waiting for this hot weather to arrive here by Tuesday!

3:25 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby))

3:26 am

zoozzoom

How are things your end, Matty?

3:26 am

mattygroves

Ditto, Zooz!

3:26 am

zoozzoom

E + double consonant + vowel, Ruby.

3:27 am

rubyfoo

People here have been saying warm weather would start "this week", or "Wednesday3, or whatver, for weeks. l'm still waiting............

3:27 am

rubyfoo

ty zzoozz

3:28 am

zoozzoom

Hope it does come soon. would be nice!

3:28 am

rubyfoo

nbt, nbs, but still many to go.

3:28 am

zoozzoom

I have 8 words :-)

3:29 am

mattygroves

Things are good here - lazy Sunday morning - still in bed with coffee and computer (and partner)

3:29 am

rubyfoo

The afternoons are warm enough to feed the fish; there was only one large dead one after this cruel winter and no food since the autumn. there are 100's, somee big enough to eat!

3:30 am

zoozzoom

He is back then. Bet you are pleased! Car boot sales here on a Sunday so will be off to parents soon. The highlight of my dads week as he does not get out much at all.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

Friends are picking me up for lunch at their house.

3:31 am

zoozzoom

Glad most of them survived, Ruby.

3:31 am

mattygroves

that'll be fun, Ruby (and Zooz)

3:31 am

zoozzoom

Oh nice hope it is a nice meal1

3:31 am

zoozzoom

!*

3:31 am

rubyfoo

l wish there were boot sales here. l have so much stuff l could sell that way

3:31 am

rubyfoo

with disturbing the dÃ©cor LOL

3:32 am

rubyfoo

without*

3:32 am

zoozzoom

My dad used to go round and by oil paintings and little bits and bobs. Now he likes to go round and say what a load of crap here, nothing to buy. lol

3:34 am

rubyfoo

For years l bought and bought. Now l need to sell and sell.

3:34 am

zoozzoom

Can not find the last T to complete the top row lol

3:34 am

zoozzoom

I bet they are worth more than what you got them for, Ruby! You could be sitting on millions!

3:35 am

rubyfoo

They don't have "garage sales" here or l could put my stuff in my litte parking area and have a friend stand in for me, but it would drive the dogs crazy

3:35 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:36 am

zoozzoom

Not enough people down your road to make it work, Ruby? You could start a trend. Back yard sale.

3:37 am

zoozzoom

Oh doh found the last one. An everyday word too.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

te4, te4+pl, te4 (exam) l don't have te 4th one

3:38 am

zoozzoom

What I love drinking, Ruby.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

aah, just found it, too

3:39 am

rubyfoo

nbt, nbs, but till 42 to go

3:40 am

zoozzoom

Good going, Ruby. I still need 103 words.

3:40 am

mattygroves

I need 26 but have really slowed down

3:41 am

rubyfoo

but l started, off and on, hours ago! and it's not easy peasy like some say!

3:42 am

mattygroves

I have tr8 - what are the stats for the other one, please?

3:42 am

zoozzoom

I like to keep some back for later in the day. Not too keen to try and finish as quickly as possible unless I am too busy to want to come back at a later time.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

one yr8 is one who does; the other is superlative

3:43 am

rubyfoo

tr8's

3:43 am

rubyfoo

lt's a stupid word

3:45 am

mattygroves

Thank you - I had the one who does, not the superlatative

3:46 am

rubyfoo

try to use the superlative in a sentence -- ridiculous!

3:46 am

mattygroves

I probably could - if you're using the word as a noun (he's very fit and tr4, for example). Not common but not crazy either

3:47 am

mattygroves

I don't know if I would though

3:48 am

rubyfoo

l'm wrapped in a blanket, but still freezing & too lazy to make a fire since l'll be going out

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Should warm up by the time you get home again, Ruby.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

This house is ridiculous! An aesthetic success, but not comfortable at all

3:51 am

rubyfoo

The one good thing, because it's so cold in the house, bouquets of cut flowers ofte last for weeks!

3:51 am

zoozzoom

I know what you mean, Ruby. although this house is sort of new build it is crap at keeping any heat in it. I think the standards that this house was built too must of been very low.

3:52 am

zoozzoom

Maybe so, Ruby. But little comfort for you when you are sat there cold as ice.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

Right now there's a grand bouquet of two kinds of lilies, roses and ranunculas, all white and green

3:54 am

rubyfoo

This house was definitely built on the cheap -- no insulation, single glazing, no heat, and more. And it was built by a friend's husband, so l can't ever complain l LOL

3:55 am

rubyfoo

But it's perfectly situated and very pretty with a really big garden, so l have happy dogs

3:56 am

rubyfoo

l give up for now, with 39 words left. Maybe later.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

l give up for now, with 39 words left. Maybe later.

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Yuo just need heat when you want it and for the heat to stay in the house and you will be sorted, Ruby!

3:57 am

zoozzoom

You*

3:57 am

rubyfoo

Bye ((zoozz)) et al.

3:57 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Ruby. Hope to see you again soon. Have a lovely meal with your friends!

3:58 am

mattygroves

Have a great lunch!

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Okay I have 26 words left to find. Will try and find some more when I return later. Happy babbling everyone! Enjoy your Sunday, Matty!

4:08 am

mattygroves

You too, Zooz! 20 left. I will shower soon

4:20 am

crosshair

Good morning, my Babble friends! I need to hear of someone enjoying warm temperatures. We are in the midst of a three day ice/snowstorm with a foot of fresh snow sitting on top of an inch of ice. We have 24 hours more of this to go. Bright side is that the power has been steady.

4:23 am

mattygroves

It was lovely yesterday, but today is gloomy and cool for the time of year. Next week is meant to be glorious though

4:25 am

crosshair

We are hoping for spring sometime before June :(

4:25 am

mattygroves

Where in Canada are you?

4:25 am

crosshair

central Ontario, on the shores of Georgian bay

4:26 am

crosshair

Little town of 26,000

4:26 am

mattygroves

Aaah - we're in a village near Windsor (it's going to be lunacy traffic-wise come May...)

4:27 am

mattygroves

Right. Gonna shower and dress - see you in a bit

4:27 am

crosshair

We are a tourist area as well. Things go crazy from May 24th onward.

5:27 am

mattygroves

We have a royal wedding coming up. Urgh.

5:27 am

lynxxx

Hi Cross - how lovely to see you

5:28 am

lynxxx

oh well, missed him. Hi Matty too

5:28 am

PMS

any clues for st6,21, te first one, please

5:29 am

lynxxx

is that the small river?

5:30 am

PMS

Yes it is. How did I miss that one. Thankyou very much

5:31 am

lynxxx

YW

5:36 am

mattygroves

Howdy. Only here for a few more minutes before going for a walk

5:36 am

sukee

Hi Matty.

5:36 am

sukee

you invited to the wedding? :)

5:37 am

mattygroves

20 left and I've come to a shuddering halt. I'll list later, maybe

5:41 am

sukee

nbt

5:41 am

mattygroves

Hah, no.

5:43 am

sukee

nbs

5:43 am

sukee

A girl from my area was invited to be on the grounds of Windsor :)

5:44 am

mattygroves

Cool. Apparently, people are making a bomb on AirBnB renting rooms for the event

5:44 am

mattygroves

We're about 3 or 4 miles from Windsor

5:46 am

sukee

Like Crossy said earlier, maybe it'll be spring here finally by then.

5:46 am

sukee

We have snow on the ground, freezing rain and regular rain predicted for later.

5:46 am

sukee

At least it is warming up after today :)

5:47 am

sukee

But more stupid snow in the forecast.

5:47 am

mattygroves

Same here (though we have no snow etc - it's around 12 here today but should get up to 20 later in the week - celsius, obviously)

5:48 am

sukee

I can't wait for spring but I hope it is more than 2 weeks long.

5:50 am

mattygroves

I'm a summer gal. I'd happily live my life without seeing another flake of snow

5:50 am

sukee

Ditto.

5:50 am

mattygroves

We don't usually get much snow here, but when we do, everything shuts down - it's chaos, even for an inch

5:51 am

sukee

They had so many accidents here yesterday the police are telling people not to drive.

5:52 am

godthaab

I heard over 550 accidents!

5:52 am

mattygroves

Wow.

5:52 am

sukee

I bet some people took their snow tires off too quickly.

5:57 am

godthaab

You'd think Canadians know how to drive in snow!

5:57 am

godthaab

drier

5:57 am

godthaab

SORRY!!!!!

5:57 am

mattygroves

Tis not there, fear ye not ;)

6:01 am

MollyL

I think Canadians do know how to drive in the snow. But ice is a different story. There is no such thing as safe driving on ice.

6:01 am

sukee

Well, I have 37 left. Taking a break for breakfast.

6:01 am

sukee

Have a great day all.

The weather is creating a hosta working environment for sure.

I am sure that there are at least a few of us who take pride in being in the choir and find it offensive to be laughed at

12:07 pm

rururocks

it was just a joke teach.. Judi would be the last person to be in a choir

12:08 pm

rururocks

the joke was posted at one person. lighten up

12:11 pm

rururocks

*reopens the sensitive room*

12:14 pm

MollyL

Wow, I didn't say anything about it being funny that anyone other than Judi was in a choir. If you read my comment, I was laughing at "Judi" being in a choir.

Yep, not enough nerve to actually post under their own name.

1:28 pm

Douglas

The first word I see when I look at the grid is an oracle of my current state of consciousness. My word was se4/5, the artificial joining of two otherwise separate things.

1:31 pm

Douglas

Then again, it could just be the first word I saw.

1:38 pm

Douglas

I am at NBT-1, exactly one word for every tile with at least one word.

1:42 pm

Douglas

I feel people slowly backing out of the chat log, trying not to make eye contact with me.

1:45 pm

helenkeller

Don't worry Douglas, all us lurkers sure got our eyes one you. Feel better now? :)

1:45 pm

helenkeller

*on*

1:46 pm

Oh, yes, thanks. Wait a minute. helenkeller has her eyes on me?!?

1:46 pm

Sure do, lovely to 'see' you again :) Creepy, right?

Helenkeller should have her hands on youðŸ˜ƒ

*waits for irate blund babbler comment*

1:50 pm

helenkeller

OMG Douglas, I so 'heart' the Moody Blues. I od'd to 7th Sojourn in high school. A few months ago, I thought of them again & wondered if I played that album, would it be the same or would I feel disappointed? I took the leap of faith & was still in love with their music as much as ever. Thanks for reminding me.

1:50 pm

rururocks

Blubd

1:50 pm

rururocks

Blind that is

1:51 pm

helenkeller

See, ruru, you posted one type of response, whereas Douggy posted something in a completely different vein. I went with the post that 'spoke' to me.

1:53 pm

libarebel

Wow! Helen Keller! Long time no see...

1:54 pm

libarebel

I confess to being mostly a lurker-- et toi?

1:55 pm

helenkeller

Hey libarebel, yep it's been a while, I don't chat like before. Yes, me too. Certified Lurker.

1:55 pm

rururocks

Sorry helen. Didnâ€™t mean to knock you off the brailles

1:57 pm

libarebel

Lurkers Anon. hasn't helped me-- thoigh I do clue sometimes :o)

1:57 pm

helenkeller

And . . . that's why I lurk.

1:57 pm

libarebel

though

1:57 pm

libarebel

HaHa

1:57 pm

rururocks

Why do hou lurk?

1:57 pm

helenkeller

LOL lib. I refrain from cluing, but will confess to swiping a clue every so often.

1:58 pm

libarebel

Alas-- I must admit to that as well...

1:59 pm

helenkeller

Because I've entered enough silly words into this chat box to filled an encyclopedia. Oh, and also because people die.

1:59 pm

libarebel

I'm older, though still immacherre...

2:00 pm

libarebel

I know-- people dying really upsets me...

2:00 pm

rururocks

People die?

2:01 pm

helenkeller

Especially the ones who I've had lots of personal chats with, played 4 person Scrabble . . . tough. Rennie's death really hit me hard.

2:01 pm

libarebel

UH-oh-- kidding, ruru-- they go to Mars...

2:01 pm

rururocks

Oh

2:02 pm

rururocks

Rennieâ€™s death was tragic

2:02 pm

libarebel

I know-- Rennie's demise shocked & saddened me...

2:03 pm

helenkeller

The exchanges between her & NuttyBuddy would have me in tears.

2:03 pm

helenkeller

They were so brilliant at wordplay. And I haven't seen Nutty chat in forever

2:04 pm

libarebel

You can tell by my icon that it was from when we had everyone posting a clue on Fridays in their icon...

2:04 pm

rururocks

She has popped in not ling ago

2:05 pm

rururocks

Long.

2:05 pm

libarebel

I know-- & the Connecticut lawyer (what was his handle?) egged them on--LOL when they did that!

2:06 pm

libarebel

Icon clues were fun...

2:07 pm

helenkeller

LOL - good one. Mine is ancient, I read that book ages ago. Today I would highly recommend a movie, but ONLY if you know the backstory, otherwise don't watch it. 'The Death of Stalin,' it's a brilliant black comedy, tons of satire. If you have personal, familial ties to that time and place, you most likely will enjoy this.

2:08 pm

helenkeller

Ruru, good to know she's still around, thanks for that info.

2:09 pm

libarebel

I love dark humor-- may read it-- Dr. Strangelove is still my all time favorite movie...

2:09 pm

helenkeller

That one is still on the list, haven't seen it.

2:10 pm

libarebel

I've seen it once since

2:11 pm

I'm afraid to inquire about Jillibus-- haven't seen her in, like, forever...

2:18 pm

It's not like I wasn't listening, I had just dived into the grid. I'm now at NBT-2, max(2, number of words on the tile) for each tile.

2:18 pm

TY Ru & ori for good news!

2:19 pm
