sprite

good morning all. Glad to see a grid worth playing, lol. Must have been a lot of withdrawal in babbleland yesterday

1:33 am

grannyrose

cooee and hugs {{sprite}}. how are you today ??

1:34 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. A quick babble before a training day. Working on a model again today, pretty exciting. I am tired, but good. Enjoying the training immensely.

1:35 am

sprite

how are you and Don?

1:36 am

grannyrose

good for you darling. don still coughing but definitely not as much. i had hydro this morning. hip and knee a little sore.6 new exercises today, plus the 8 i already had.

1:37 am

sprite

woweeeee! You are going so strong, honey. Am so proud of you.

1:37 am

sprite

good to hear Don is on the mend at last

1:37 am

grannyrose

what i simply cannot work out is why he has to cough so LOUDLY. he also barfs loudly, sneezes loudly.

1:38 am

sprite

he is a male :D

1:38 am

grannyrose

doesn't fluff loudly....which is not good really because they are what i call one cheek sneaks....

1:39 am

Kamanjah

LOLOL!

1:39 am

grannyrose

or silent but deadly... loll

1:39 am

grannyrose

hello dear Kam.

1:39 am

sprite

oh I know that kind. They are killers.

1:39 am

sprite

hiya Kam! *hugs*

1:40 am

Kamanjah

Our poor guys can't win some days. I sometimes wonder what they say about us to their male friends...uh oh! I know I'm guilty of snoring *loudly*

1:40 am

Kamanjah

Hiya sprite and rose!

1:40 am

grannyrose

yeah... all of a sudden this miasma wafts over your way.... *gag*

1:40 am

Kamanjah

My dog is guilty of that

1:41 am

sprite

*giggles* Knowing guys, they don't say much. One will say "Women!" and the rest will sigh in masculine solidarity

1:41 am

sprite

oh, terra too! From under my desk. Ughhhh.

1:41 am

Kamanjah

Sounds like your therapy is giving you a huge workout, Rose. How are you holding up?

1:41 am

grannyrose

*giggle* one night we were out at a friend's for dinner. there was this ghastly smell... the hubby got away with blaming the dog. poor Clover got put outside. it was years later that he fessed up.

1:42 am

sprite

got to go!

1:42 am

Kamanjah

Enjoy your day, Sprite!

1:42 am

grannyrose

awww sweet friend. hope you enjoy your day honey. xoxox

1:46 am

grannyrose

kam?? isn't hubby's programming coming up soon?

1:47 am

Kamanjah

Friday!

1:48 am

grannyrose

oh !! how exciting !! praying for no events happen to stop this appointment.

1:49 am

Kamanjah

But he has to go off his meds for at least 24 hours before, if not more. His Thursday won't be fun, but I should be back to normal by Friday...huge change of plans happened yesterday and we ended up over 100 miles from home today, but he was with his daughter and her family. Nothing is going to glitch Friday - I had to reschedule my massage/chiro appt for tomorrow, we just got home a bit ago...I'm pooped. I drove up, but he had to drive home. I can't see well after dark

1:50 am

grannyrose

ugh what a journey... i hope you can rest well tonight.

1:51 am

grannyrose

what happened that you were so far from home?

1:52 am

Kamanjah

I will, once I finally wind down. The dog is completely, totally, passed out - he met a new friend today, and they played their hearts out! The new dog is just under a year old, and Blaze just turned 5 - he was ready to leave after about 3 hours of rough play.

1:52 am

Kamanjah

Hubby's daughter moved too far away...

1:52 am

Kamanjah

She called yesterday afternoon and invited us up

1:54 am

grannyrose

sweet, but maybe he needs to learn to say 'no' when there are two BIG days in his week. he should be resting totally in preparation.

1:56 am

Kamanjah

No, SHE needs to learn to plan ahead. I had to change all sorts of stuff, but he somehow can just keep on keepin' on day after day after day...he amazes me, especially after all he's been thru

1:56 am

Kamanjah

It's not like she didn't know Father's Day was today until yesterday...

1:56 am

grannyrose

was it a special day for her then?

1:57 am

grannyrose

ahhh, i see.

1:57 am

grannyrose

our Father's Day isn't until September.

1:57 am

Kamanjah

Do you not have Father's Day mid June in Australia? I know a lot of celebratory things are by country

1:58 am

Kamanjah

ah

1:59 am

grannyrose

because May, Mother's Day the following year is about 40 weeks after Father's Day.

2:01 am

Kamanjah

Hmmm, our Mother's Day is in May. I know our 4th of July is an American thing, but the other things that honor different people seems to vary across this wide world. I love talking to people from the world here! We're starting summer, you're heading into winter...

2:02 am

Kamanjah

The US seems to have Father's day and graduations during the same few weeks in June. Schools change semesters to quarters in some places, some are year-round, others are still on the old schedules from when I was a kid

2:03 am

grannyrose

Kam, think about what i wrote. Father's Day, traditionally wife gives into hubby's begging. 40 weeks later (the length of a 'normal' pregnancy) is Mother's Day. i think it's a scream... loll

2:04 am

grannyrose

well, it's close anyway...

2:04 am

Kamanjah

haha! I didn't think about the 40 weeks...makes sense

2:05 am

Kamanjah

Oh, and future son-in-law asked his sweetie's dad for her hand today. Wedding is next June

2:06 am

Kamanjah

Hub's answer was "It's about time!"

2:11 am

grannyrose

lolll...

2:16 am

grannyrose

omg, i am yawning soooo much. today was my second up with the sparrow's day, in a row. mind you. all my own fault. sat up latish o view the new series of Poldark Saturday night.

2:19 am

Kamanjah

I'm tired too, it's12:17AM here. I try to be in bed by 2AM. Being a night owl by nature is a curse in today's world. Hey, retirement doesn't have a schedule!
But, when it's cooler outside than inside, windows are open...and the world starts making noise really early...for my tastes, lol!

2:23 am

grannyrose

for goodness sakes Kam. GO TO BED !! loll you silly dill.

2:25 am

Kamanjah

I'm good if I'm in bed by...2:30. I have earplugs! Plus, I'm used to the roosters, turkeys, aplacas, dogs, and much snoring (hubby and dog both snore, but in different keys.) Hubby sometimes does snore sonatas, lol! He was infamous in our re-enactment groups for the snoring even before we were a couple

2:26 am

Kamanjah

And...fireworks!

2:26 am

grannyrose

WTG KAM !!!

2:27 am

grannyrose

see you after the flip honey. xoxox

2:27 am

Kamanjah

TY! *Hugs* and, since I have no clue what time it is for you, have a great, day, evening, night, or ... just a great one!

2:27 am

Kamanjah

ZZZzzz...

Too nive to be inside... do you have much to shop for?

8:36 am

9:36 am

rururocks

i preferred playing doubles too.. a lot less running around

9:37 am

i used to play 16-20 sets a week (totally stupid and insane)

9:43 am

rururocks

isn't everything ok for an 18 year old?

9:44 am

ch1212

Good point, ru.... he wants help to purchase the ticket and I'm feeling like an old worried grandma (who has forgotten all the rock concerts I went to around that age, clearly! lol!)

9:46 am

I took my 18 year old grandson to the Netherlands, Norway & Denmark before he went in the army. I wanted him to see some of the happy countries and to think of returning someday. In some places he slept in a hostel while I hoteled it.

9:49 am

clg47

The drinking age was 18,18 & 15. I said you have to be sober enough to ride your bike home.

k, not all NYC schools are closing early, just the ones without AC (?!)

11:01 am

Judi

Grody was a very common word when I was in high school... 36 years ago.

11:02 am

Shirlockc

i didn't realize that there are schools without AC!

11:03 am

bichon

All the schools here in CT are without AC. Lots are closing eaarly

11:03 am

Judi

Some of the old PS schools in NYC are VERY old - still run on boiler systems. No AC is probably common.

11:04 am

jubi

School is still in session..? All the ones here are out.

11:05 am

Shirlockc

i guess? i don't have kids so i'm just going by the news

11:05 am

Judi

NY schools start later - usually 1st week of September, so they close out the year at the end of June. Usually by 6/25.

11:05 am

bichon

There were a lot of snow days here. They must be made up

11:06 am

Judi

Yep - snow days get made up at the end of the year. Or they shorten spring break, etc.

3:30 pm

sarcasticah

Oh wait, no, found it

4:45 pm

KnightTime

so you re6 on asking for a clue to the re6?

5:06 pm

MollyL

Well, they would have, but that is not the first re6/24

5:09 pm

MollyL

Apparently the light bulb went on for both of them about the person who acts as a member of a Brit ruling party

5:13 pm

benji5550122

TH 4/5?

5:14 pm

benji5550122

nvm

6:23 pm

LeslieAnn

i assume the proper amount of outrage has been registered that po 4/8 cannot be past tense?

6:28 pm

MollyL

There is a certain amount of debate about that word here because it is a Brit derogatory term for homosexuals. I'm not sure the past tense was missed.

6:29 pm

LeslieAnn

oh i was not aware of that usage. i was thinking purely of magicians making things disappear (or folks leaving the chog)

6:31 pm

MollyL

That's okay. I had no idea that fanny (US your rear end) is a word for female genitals in the UK. It makes you rethink that whole Fanny Be Tender With My Love song by the Bee Gees.

6:31 pm

LeslieAnn

or fanny pack lol

6:32 pm

MollyL

Definitely fanny pack
: D

6:32 pm

MollyL

Or the US term "swat your fanny"

6:50 pm

Lizlin

Cringing at the thought of referring to a bum bag as a fanny pack!!!

6:51 pm

LeslieAnn

cram it all in there liz! :P

6:51 pm

Lizlin

:)

6:51 pm

MollyL

Cringing at the term "bum bag"

6:52 pm

Lizlin

Love language in different countries. There's a cheese here in Aus which is called - don't faint - Coon Cheese. I kid you not.

6:53 pm

helensgirlkid

called that in Minnesota, too!

6:53 pm

MollyL

I am not surprised. Some of the Australian terms freak me right out

6:53 pm

Lizlin

I was amazed when I first saw that. In the UK that

6:53 pm

Lizlin

that's really insulting.

6:54 pm

Lizlin

Aussie Italians also refer to themselves as Wogs - I'd never use that word.

6:54 pm

MollyL

Sorry Liz, didn't mean to be insulting.

6:55 pm

Lizlin

No - I don't mean you were insulting. I meant that the term Coon was really insulting in the UK.

6:56 pm

MollyL

Oh, okay. It is a pretty rough term in the US as well.

6:56 pm

Lizlin

It was used in a similar way to the word Wogs - usually by racist ******

6:57 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks - a much better grid than the last one. Mind you, 10 words just made me laugh.

6:57 pm

LeslieAnn

congrats!

6:58 pm

Lizlin

Thanks. Any clues needed?

6:58 pm

LeslieAnn

i'd take a 7, either

6:58 pm

Lizlin

er 7 - e + mice and rats (but singular)

6:59 pm

Lizlin

pr 7 - pt word of the pr 5. A word meaning evidence

6:59 pm

LeslieAnn

thanks!

6:59 pm

Lizlin

yw

7:00 pm

MollyL

The Babble withdrawal at 10 words made me laugh. And truthfully, made me a little sad. This game is fun, but there is more to life.

7:01 pm

Lizlin

I agree Molly. I love doing the grid - some are easier than others, some are just frustrating but I've certainly got enough going on in my life that I'm not bothered if it's a small grid. But I just if some people are housebound it might be more important.

7:03 pm

MollyL

True Liz. If people are housebound and computer word games are all they are entertained by, it must be disappointing.

7:03 pm

Lizlin

I think that does apply to a number of babblers here.

7:04 pm

Lizlin

Anyway, time to get on with my day - Just after 10 am here. Have a good day / evening. Back at flip or around then.

7:06 pm

MollyL

Agree again Liz. It does seem to apply to many players here.

7:14 pm

HarryHood
