nah, not anymore I don't. Preparing for them was hell. Now, we are gonna let them do their thing, and if they need something changed, they can tell us and we will do it. Rob is taking a shower right now, and we expect them in 30 mins.

stupid grid! No hotties???

1:33 am

Kamanjah

He went to his programming appt and still hasn't spilled all the beans yet...this cold knocked me flat. He was very happy with the new results...sometimes he just won't talk till he's ready. Shrug

1:33 am

sprite

*hugs Kate* How are you doing today?

1:35 am

sprite

men, darling, men. They will talk... in their time. Him being happy is message enough, I bet :D

1:35 am

sprite

and ugh @ the darn cold. Draining, isn't it.

1:36 am

TraderKate

Hugz to you too spritey... knackered here and still peckish. Can see almost no words now, so have left off the grid until later - or more likely, after I wake up.
Cillie grid - Cabana Cuties is absolutely needed in Babble

1:36 am

Kamanjah

Yep, men are that way...but I won't complain - he is the BESTEST hubby ever!!

1:36 am

sprite

indeed :)

1:37 am

sprite

ugliest in word too :(

1:38 am

TraderKate

Why does he hold back on this programming info Kam... does he literally need to let his body adjust befiore he pronounces it okay to talk about... don't get it. Gald appointment was attended no problems...
I did the boog-booga dance to send your cold packing - must I break out the reinforcements too and give it the old double whammy hex?

1:39 am

Kamanjah

He was exhausted when he got home and took a nap - he'll talk tomorrow

1:39 am

sprite

absolutely, this cold is on its 4th rerun, I believe, lol

1:39 am

cooee and g'day from me. {{{{{{{spritey}}}}}}} {{{kam}}} {{{kate}}}

Big day for you sprite - things are really happening now... you're on your way
Did you already have the meeting to "defend your position to the boat club folks?

Third rerun, and it knocked me this time, so I'm going to knock it back and get back to human, hopefully tomorrow

no, that is on october 31, Kate

That's soon enough Kam! All in his own time - in his own way. Eventually he tells all (though i bet it's frustraing someties

1:40 am

grannyrose

busy day sweetie. cooked a roast dinner for 14 peeps... lolll and muscle spasms are starting to increase but controlled with magnesium and a dash of valium.

1:41 am

sprite

careful with yourself, rose :) But good job.

1:41 am

TraderKate

Kam - you ARE sure it's jsut a cold???

1:42 am

well, that is it for me for now. Going downstairs with my love to wait for the officials :)

1:42 am

TraderKate

rose, you might want to ask about calcium and potassium for the muscle spasms...but ask doc,

1:43 am

grannyrose

exciting sprite ??

1:43 am

TraderKate

good luck with the "photoshoot" sprite

1:43 am

grannyrose

kate, no potassium as i am on a med which retain potassium.

1:44 am

TraderKate

quite an undertaking for you today rose - cooking a proper dinner for 14 would wipe me out!

1:45 am

grannyrose

i did quite a lot of prep yesterday kate, and slow-cooked the lamb overnight.

1:46 am

Book Doctor Gwen

had to close my document without saving, dark kitty!

1:46 am

Book Doctor Gwen

darn kitty

1:47 am

TraderKate

this is why I said ask doc rose... the metals have to be watched for interactions and many can cause problems with liver or kidney in too large a dose... helped me with leg cramps a lot though...and a Bcomplex tablet as well very helpful... of course, perhaps a little quinine from a G & T ?

1:47 am

Kamanjah

Cats will do that! I hate it when my cat reloads sudoku

1:48 am

Kamanjah

Kate, likely a fibro flare too, I'll get over it - am
overdue to feel human.

1:48 am

TraderKate

naughty kitty...did you lose many words Gwen?

1:48 am

TraderKate

You had LAMB???? Mmmmmm <drool>
sounds like you had it well in hand with prep - smart lady!

1:49 am

TraderKate

Ah... I see Kam... rotten to get double whammied :(
but it is making more sense to me now.

1:52 am

grannyrose

*giggle* kate G & T out of the question...unless you want me gagging overtime. the magnesium i take i import myself from USA. not available over here *sigh*

1:53 am

grannyrose

oh, we had boneless chicken roll stuffed with apricots and herbs.

1:54 am

Book Doctor Gwen

didn't lose anything but took a few minutes for software to stop going crazy

1:55 am

TraderKate

Mmmmm that sounds great rose!|
(not a G&T fan either)
why can't you get magnesium there or jsut not what you needed?

1:56 am

TraderKate

Yay for not losing words!!! MyPC is running/loading very slowly - I think It's running updates in the background.

1:57 am

TraderKate

should I be watching out for buy one get one free sales for you on magnesium rose? I jsut spent all my pennies a coupole weeks ago getting stocked up... ;)

1:57 am

Kamanjah

Firewords! Going to start getting ready for
bed and kick this cold outta here!

1:57 am

Book Doctor Gwen

woo hoo kamanjah !!!

1:58 am

grannyrose

i can magnesium here, but the sort i can find in USA. it magnesium malate. the bonding agent is made from apple and most if not all the magnesium ia absorbed. the stuff over here is rubbish. doesn't get into the system properly.

1:58 am

TraderKate

Congratulations Kam!!!!!
Kick that fibro-cold right in the a$$ and to the curb!
Hope you are much improved tomorrow (today)

1:59 am

grannyrose

WTG KAM!!! xoxox

1:59 am

TraderKate

I see grasnny... running off to see what my magnesium is made of...

2:00 am

grannyrose

magnesium malate is absorbed super fast, like with 10-15 minutes.

2:05 am

TraderKate

well, this is interesting - I have a combo pill of calcium - magnesium - zinc
this label says magnesium oxide/citrate/fumarate/malate/succinat\ne

The magnesium only tablets:
"highly absorbable magnesium complex of oxide, malate, and glycerophosphate"

BOTH are from a quality -assured name - Jamieson.

2:06 am

grannyrose

now that is interesting.

2:07 am

TraderKate

neither is actually labelled on the front as fast acting or time released...

2:07 am

grannyrose

i get my magnesium from Vitacost. maybe google them? compare the price...

2:14 am

TraderKate

O took a quick look through my receipts, but I must have bought everything BUT magnesium... I can look, but pretty sure they are in the 10 price range for 90 yablets (our $ are usually about on par, unlike the US) but I will make a point of looking for prioce and the malate (are yours pure magnesium malate?)

2:15 am

grannyrose

yup

2:17 am

Book Doctor Gwen

77 to go, night all

2:18 am

TraderKate

oh - the mag only tabs are 250 mg
the combo pill, they are 166.66 mg
looking at prices online, but don't think I can see prices for the chemist - jsut ionline stores (?)

2:18 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams gwen

2:18 am

TraderKate

good night Gwen :)

2:19 am

grannyrose

vitacost have 1250mg tabs, a bottle of 180 is around US$10

2:20 am

TraderKate

The Pharmacy brand of 90 tablets (250 mg) shows 10.99

2:21 am

TraderKate

the same for the Jamieson brand shows as $26.13
not sure if these are US sites/US$
I am sure I don't pay that much for mine in the store...

2:22 am

grannyrose

even paying the postage for overseas delivery, it works out so much cheaper than any other magnesium available here.

2:22 am

TraderKate

That's a lot of magnesium in one tablet...one thousand two hundred and fifty????

2:24 am

grannyrose

yes. and i need every bit of it.

2:25 am

TraderKate

I will check it out for sure rose...
I got this last lot (and all vitamins/supplements) for buy one get one free.. but there was also a special off that doesn't come often - buy 30 and get a $10 off coupon for next purchase.. so afte I bought the first set of 2 for 1 bottles, I rolled the $10 off coupln into the next pair until I had bought all I needed... 'cause THAT'S the way I shop, LOL

2:27 am

grannyrose

well done. good shopping. don't forget i go into hospital every 12-16 weeks for three days of magnesium and ketamine. the magnesium gets right into the cellular level and takes about 8-10 weeks for those levels to finally start to drop. then i start with the oral tabs.

2:29 am

TraderKate

Magnesium Malate 1250 mg - 360 Tablets
$40 CAD (on sale, free wshipping)
just form a quick peek... sounds like you have done well in your search

2:30 am

grannyrose

wowow !!!

2:31 am

grannyrose

of course it has been some time si5 i have had to buy them. i'll prolly scream blue murder when i see the prices next time. i buy about once/year.

2:31 am

TraderKate

found one for $33 cad..THEY ARE ALL 360 TABS.

2:32 am

grannyrose

i know, amazing, right?

2:32 am

TraderKate

AMAZON COMES INA AT OVER 50.

2:32 am

grannyrose

so now multiply out what you buy for the cost of 360 tabs...

2:33 am

TraderKate

8 CENTS EACH

2:34 am

TraderKate

but US$ are 25-30% on exchange...the ones I quoted were CAD not USD

2:34 am

grannyrose

okay...FM brain fog just set in... is that good or bad?

2:35 am

TraderKate

bad... enough about vitamin prices, we are boring the knickers off everyone lurking...

2:35 am

grannyrose

and the point is ???? lollll

2:36 am

grannyrose

i'm just saying kate... please shop around on-line and check it out.

2:36 am

TraderKate

it means that the $ you see in US at $100 is about 125 - 130 in Canadian (the AUS $ usually trades vey closely to the Canadian $)

2:37 am

TraderKate

haha... I will do some checking rose, but I have never bught anything online before.

2:38 am

grannyrose

if you do honey, set up a paypal account. they are very secure and insure to cover you and your transactions.

2:39 am

TraderKate

I do worry rose... I do not even use on-line backing and will not even give the bank my e-mail - everything on paper and in person.

2:40 am

grannyrose

if somethings goes pear-shaped. they will reimburse you your money, and then fight the seller.

2:40 am

TraderKate

*banking

2:40 am

grannyrose

i agree about the banking honey... that still freaks me out.

2:41 am

TraderKate

that is quite a good point in thier favour! Didn't know that..

2:42 am

grannyrose

also, you can use them for money-transfers ( smallish amounts) .

2:42 am

TraderKate

I used to do telephone banking, but you needed 2 different codes to access it - one of 4 digits and one of 6 digits. with no on-line banking, no scammers can reach me. period... not that I have anything for them to steal, LOL.. they'd be wasting their time on me!

2:42 am

gapeach

Good morning. May I please have a clue for me6-21? Thanks

2:43 am

TraderKate

Hi peach :)
I am babbleblind tonight, but will try to look - perhaps rose has it?

2:43 am

grannyrose

hey ya peach. me6/21. sounds like someone who is nasty, spelled differently.

2:44 am

TraderKate

TY rose... and pl too :)

2:44 am

grannyrose

yay kate

2:45 am

gapeach

Hey there, Rose. Thanks, looking.

2:46 am

gapeach

Need to let dogs out brb.

2:46 am

TraderKate

the list shows 2 more Me 7/32 right after the pl... possible different endings like L or Gr. pl? jsut guessing

2:47 am

grannyrose

nope, the second and third me7 are different to the first.

2:48 am

TraderKate

jsut found them, ty rose... I guess my snack helped a bit... think I need to make a snadwich though

wishing I has some of your leftovers..Mmmmmmm

2:50 am

grannyrose

so do i... but someone took them to feed her b*****d dog.

2:51 am

TraderKate

Awwww... there oughta be a law! Taht just ain't right mate ;)

2:52 am

TraderKate

I am going to slice up some cheese and make a grilled cheese sammich :D

2:52 am

grannyrose

i was so looking forward to a sarny either lamb or chicken.. *sigh*

2:53 am

grannyrose

yum... i have some vine-tomatoes in the frig. i am having some yummiest of sarnies.

2:57 am

gapeach

Thanks Rose.

3:01 am

TraderKate

are you making a sardine and tanato sarnie rose?

3:02 am

TraderKate

oh... I really am very tired - read sarnie as sardine...

3:03 am

TraderKate

I have some that need eating too rose.. soon it will be the last of the home garden tomatoes and only store-bought until next year - where did the summer go?

3:05 am

grannyrose

it's over here kate... come on down !!!

3:06 am

TraderKate

I'm coming rose!!!! since I missed most of summer, it seems, I will have to chase it around the globe ;)

3:08 am

grannyrose

wouldn't it be lovely... our winter, we pop over to you, your winter, you pop over to me...

3:09 am

grannyrose

lolllll... dh is saying... ah yes... spring... that was on a wednesday this year...

3:09 am

TraderKate

Why not? Though it is a long, expensive flight... last I looked (years ago) it was roughly $2300 (plus, plus plus) that's a lot of money!

3:10 am

grannyrose

yeah i know.....dispiriting isn't it?

3:10 am

grannyrose

as spritey says.... where is Scotty when we need him?

3:11 am

TraderKate

we still have a bit of a spring - but not like years ago... lately we have gone from winter tio a week or two of spring straight into full-on summer! Funnily, our autumns still seem to last the normal season before it's winter.

3:14 am

TraderKate

yes, rose... I would love to see your whole corner of the world... it would be trip of a lifetime for me though - china to thailand, Oz and kiwi lanmd... findia..vietnam.. the whole shebang.. then likely the sfest parts of the middle east ( flights are almost as long and just as dear... maybe north africa...and if I get there, I'd have to catch all the places I have missed,out through the yerars in Europe...

3:15 am

TraderKate

as you can see, it would be quite impossible - unless I won a huge lottery ;)

3:15 am

TraderKate

Beam me up ;)

3:16 am

TraderKate

grilled cheese just flipped... almost time for nom noms

3:19 am

grannyrose

np's kate. time for me to go. xoxoxox

3:19 am

TraderKate

me as well... I should have tried harder to sleep earlier, now I have to eat or I won't sleep.

3:20 am

TraderKate

have a good day rose, and take it easy for the rest of the day!

3:48 am

sprite

omg it is DONE! All pictures taken, realtor very happy with how we decluttered our house and repaired the leakage damage.

3:48 am

TraderKate

That was fast!

3:48 am

sprite

two hours. They were amazing

3:49 am

TraderKate

did they discuss the listing with you as well? all setr to go?

3:50 am

sprite

yes, they are almost ready to finalise the brochure and then the house will go on the market. Probably wednesday. He expects the first lookysees on monday or tuesday after that.

3:52 am

TraderKate

excitement builds! will you likey get what youare asking... or is this one of those markets like UK - esp. Scotland where the list is verry low and anything can happen... gazuming and gazundering madness?

3:52 am

sprite

the signs are already up on the house and in the garden.

3:53 am

sprite

yes, the house market is crazy here atm. The realtor expects we will get more than what we are asking.

3:53 am

TraderKate

now you need a yes from the people on "your" land

3:53 am

TraderKate

andf that will suffice for your plans?

3:54 am

sprite

we need a place to live and a place to build. But step by step. Things will work out.

3:54 am

sprite

oh yes. If things go as the realtor says, we will actually have enough money to build the tiny house. We expected we needed to save lots of moneys first, but it looks like we will have enough.

3:55 am

sprite

am almost scared to say it, lol, afraid I will jinx it somehow ;)

3:56 am

TraderKate

Thatb would be great!... but we will not yempt fate.... counting chickens etc...

3:57 am

sprite

btw, this is one of those grids that might lead to a big -ing grid soon. 2x i, an N nearby and quite a few Ss. But if the N disappears, which might happen, bets are off again.

3:57 am

TraderKate

how are your interest/mortgage rates now? manageable and steady? thinking prospective buyers/\.

3:58 am

sprite

low rates atm, so that is good.

3:58 am

TraderKate

hmmm. I will have to try to follow and see if I can grasp your theory...

4:00 am

sprite

not really a theory, just the experience of how grid letters kinda progress. It is a mathematical thing, I think, the way babble is programmed to generate the next grid and the next.
But just picture that lower left corner tile as a G and you will see the potential.

4:09 am

sprite

am winding down fast now. It has been a very intensive month, and now that it is done, I feel the energy simply draining away to nothing. Am gonna take it VERY easy today.

4:09 am

TraderKate

4:10 am

sprite

4:10 am

TraderKate

easy day and a nap.... maybe some sangria slayers - it is Friday.... loomg vath and early bed!

4:11 am

sprite

sounds good to me. No sangria, that is only for ultra special occasions. But maybe a cider tonight. And for now, dolce far niente.

4:12 am

TraderKate

it is morning.... 5:11 AM.... until a couple years ago I would be getting up in 15 minutes....

4:12 am

sprite

swapping day and night?

4:13 am

TraderKate

It happens a lot... fine for a week or month - one bad sleep and bang... completely out of step and can't get sleeps to come right for ages. annoying as it interferes with so much.

4:14 am

sprite

that sucks :(

4:14 am

TraderKate

dolce gar niente...my Italian is non-existant...
mild/calm for nothing?????

4:14 am

TraderKate

yes it does.. I's go so far as to say it sux, which is much worse ;)

4:15 am

mattygroves

Woop found the EX words

makes for robotic conversation too...all noise , no substance.

rubyfoo

but you ca make ita past te***

BzznBea

Morning all.

7:03 am

rubyfoo

Hiya bzzz

7:03 am

BzznBea

How are you today, Ruby?

7:04 am

rubyfoo

Much better than yesterday; the malaise has passed

7:04 am

rubyfoo

Thank you for asking

7:04 am

BzznBea

Good. Do you have sunshine in your world?

7:04 am

Deeha

exactly Mark, hotties IS a word. I love mine in the winter!!

7:04 am

rubyfoo

Yes, every day for weeks now

7:05 am

rubyfoo

The lake is at its lowest level since they've been keeping records

7:05 am

Phantom word section. Driving me daft.

7:05 am

BzznBea

We had Hurricane Michael pass through last night. He left behind much cooler temps.

7:06 am

rubyfoo

Heloo Deeha. What is a hottie ?

7:06 am

BzznBea

Me too granadan!

7:07 am

Deeha

A hottie is a hot water bottle much better than an electric blanket. If you put boiling water in it - not recommended- it will keep warm till the morning!!!

7:07 am

Deeha

It is also a beautiful girl!!

7:08 am

BzznBea

Or a hunk of a man! =)

7:08 am

rubyfoo

My Raffie is a beautiful girl but she won't sleep wih me

7:10 am

Deeha

my Annie(cat) is a beautiful girl unfortunately she does sleep with me!!

7:10 am

rubyfoo

And since she's been groomed, she has become a bmonde

7:10 am

rubyfoo

blonde*

7:11 am

rubyfoo

but then you Don't need a hottie!

7:13 am

Deeha

you might need a crane to get her off so you can get up in the morning!!

7:14 am

rubyfoo

l had a cat like that, Clariss, ad she weighed about 15 lbs and used to kneadmy chest

7:15 am

Trifioso

chuckling at the idea of all 138 pounds of my dog trying to sleep with us

7:15 am

BzznBea

Morning, trif

7:15 am

rubyfoo

Are you sure he's not a bear?

7:16 am

Trifioso

no. not at all sure.

7:17 am

Trifioso

boy oh boy do I miss Anniebrook today.....would love to talk to her about secondo, who had her first "unpleasant new york city" experience this week.....

7:18 am

BzznBea

I hope you is okay, trif.

7:19 am

rubyfoo

l miss Anne Brook, too. What happened to secondo in NY?

7:19 am

Trifioso

oh yes, Im mostly just momma bear worried.....a man approached her while she was sitting outside eating her lunch, and would NOT leave her alone, kept asking her inappropriate questions, (Do you live near here? Is this where you work?) and would NOT take "Please leave me alone" for an answer. She was badly rattled. I was frustrated because I was trying to go over some basic safety stuff with her, and it did not go well.

7:20 am

rubyfoo

How old is she?

7:20 am

Trifioso

mostly we argued about her listening to headphones during lunch/walking -- she is correct, she has every right to listen to whatever, but the world we currently live in makes that unsafe for women. At least one ear needs to be open and aware at all times.

7:20 am

BzznBea

It sounds like she handled the situation well.

7:20 am

Trifioso

22

7:21 am

rubyfoo

There's notmuch you can do besides walk away

7:21 am

Trifioso

She did, but she has a lot to learn about NYC - it is not much like Burlington, VT, and certainly not like the tiny town she grew up in

7:22 am

BzznBea

Is she going to school there?

7:22 am

Trifioso

I appreciate her for being feisty, but I am also correct - it's not safe to wear headphones in both ears. It just isn't

7:22 am

Trifioso

no, she lives and works in the city now

7:22 am

rubyfoo

That's where l'm from, but tiny village life suits me much better. Who knew?

7:23 am

BzznBea

Yes, headphones are always a big concern

7:23 am

rubyfoo

<I didn't know that

7:23 am

Trifioso

I feel nervous - he knows where she works now, or at least, where she will be around every day

7:24 am

rubyfoo

Maybe she could carry Tabasco sauce in her briefcase

7:26 am

Trifioso

lololol

7:26 am

BzznBea

I know you know this, trif, but the wory never goes away. =)

7:26 am

Trifioso

the guy would probably not take that either "Oh, you are a spicy girl, eh?" He was SO GROSS

7:26 am

rubyfoo

Or hire a thug to protect here

7:27 am

Trifioso

i know, bzzn...and nyc does not, unfortunately, own all the scary guys in the world. She needs to be safe where ever she goes. We all do

7:28 am

rubyfoo

l'velived here 20 years and could never go back, even though i miss the food andmy sister

7:28 am

BzznBea

My 30 year old almost had her baby at home with just her and her three year old son. She has always been a stubbron one.

7:29 am

BzznBea

I think you are in exactly the right place, Ruby.

7:29 am

Trifioso

i agree, your life sounds wonderful ruby!

7:30 am

bichon

When C in 72 I was sure we'd go back in a couple of years. Never happened and I feel at home and safe in CT

7:30 am

rubyfoo

and the health care is superb!

7:30 am

Trifioso

secondo wants to transfer to the london office - like many young americans, she has had it with this place

7:30 am

car.eeyore

Hi sweetie!

7:31 am

car.eeyore

Oooh! That's exciting for her!

7:31 am

BzznBea

Any one have the stats for the w?

7:31 am

rubyfoo

They've taken me in hand and do everything: meds, blood tests, scheduling appts, etc

7:31 am

Trifioso

hi! She's not moving because she is excited, she is moving because she is disgusted with our government. She's had it

7:31 am

car.eeyore

wo 6/33

7:32 am

Trifioso

scroll down for the last on secondo, car dear

7:32 am

Trifioso

latest, not last

7:33 am

BzznBea

Thanks, car.

7:33 am

Trifioso

oooh, that wo gave me a do too!

7:34 am

car.eeyore

I see. You know there are bad people everywhere, right? In fact, it happened at Norwell Stop & shop the other night.

7:35 am

Trifioso

yup. sex trafficking must have hit an all time low if they are soliciting at the norwell S&S

7:35 am

car.eeyore

She absolutely should NOT wear two earbuds. Also, she should take that damn phone, which was most likely right there, and say "I said leave me alone." Take a picture and walk right to a cop. She also should have raised her voice VERY loudly to get everyone's attention around her.

7:36 am

car.eeyore

If it isn't bad enough, people post this shit everywhere and then we have copy cats. The original story was from somewhere in Tampa, now we have the same MO in Norwell.

7:36 am

rubyfoo

Great suggestions, car.

7:36 am

car.eeyore

After what happened to me at college, loud is the best and fastest way to go

7:36 am

Trifioso

she did finally have to scream at him. it got bad

7:38 am

Trifioso

in other news - all the sports teams here are required to wear their uniforms on game days - fine. But ONLY their uniforms. It's 50 degrees, cold and raining today. The poor cheerleaders are turning blue. Let them wear a frigging sweater already!

7:38 am

rubyfoo

Noidea for the do or wo. Duh

7:39 am

Deeha

I'd have had two words for that bloke and the second one is off!

7:39 am

BzznBea

I finally have nbt and nbs. It is time to get out to the garden and see what havoc Michael caused out there.

7:39 am

Trifioso

like a dalmatian, deeha

7:40 am

Trifioso

"Hurricane Michael" -- i know him well, lololol

7:40 am

rubyfoo

lhad the do but had no idea that the other would work

7:41 am

Trifioso

oh! Car! I know you will find this WILDLY exciting - I finally bought a push mower! It's an 80 volt electric, and it is SO GREAT -- weighs next to nothing, and goes like the devil. Fisher price for the win! If ONLY it blew bubbles too!

7:42 am

rubyfoo

Byeladies. lhope you get some sunshine

7:44 am

rubyfoo

haha

7:48 am

car.eeyore

"Screaming" and talking loudly are not quite the same. If she showed any passion/feeling/emotion in her voice...he was getting what he wanted. Did she alert security in her building? Did she tell the local police?

7:49 am

Trifioso

they just cancelled today's fire drill. Ya think? It's bucketing rain

7:49 am

Trifioso

I cant say for sure, as I wasnt there, but according to her there were raised voices. I dont know who all she told.

7:49 am

Trifioso

she was outside in the lunch area, so her concern is he may work in her building

7:50 am

You in a test and covertly babbling?? Now you have made it my mission to make you laugh till you pee a little!

7:55 am

Trifioso

7:57 am

crosshair

Will think of something--other than jabs at tRump, but gotta tape puppy out for a tiddle, brb.

7:59 am

Poor puppy...taping him instead of letting the pee out...

8:00 am

crosshair

There, all drained. He is getting big--fast! if he were a smaller breed, i would be able to just open a window, hold him out, and squeeze!

8:04 am

Trifioso

its all pee all the time in crossy land!

8:05 am

crosshair

Should have named the pup "the incredible kidney hound."

8:06 am

Trifioso

we say we should have named ours "hoover"

8:06 am

crosshair

I was going to name him "Dyson"

8:06 am

he will eat ANYTHING!

8:06 am

the first is a pl of the me6 before it

the next two relate to cell biology (they're the same except for the last vowel)

12:21 pm

Trifioso

those are the ones I cant figure out. I dont think I have the right endings.

12:22 pm

Pinikula

that last extends the me5 before it (flip the 2 letter pl ending)

12:22 pm

Trifioso

does it sound like "not your bro but your s**?)

12:22 pm

Pinikula

opposite of "bro"

3:14 pm

anawaltgal

had the storm in VA yesterday. how you come out well.

3:16 pm

dianedecoder

Our storm will be nothing like you've been experiencing.....just dropping temperatures, snow and wind. However, we are supposed to be back to nice fall weather next week.....sure hope so, as we've been robbed of that this year!

3:18 pm

anawaltgal

flooding and power lines here,not too bad. far enough from the coast I guess.

3:18 pm

TraderKate

Hi diane :)
There seems to be drearyweather everywhere today! Glad I'm not on NEcoast..we missed the tailend of Mike here, thankfully. I guess you're expecting some of the white stuff?

The first snow you get always shocks us southern Ontarioans diane...

3:22 pm

dianedecoder

We are fairly close to the Rockies, so our weather surprises us often !

3:23 pm

TraderKate

Ugh ruru... long haul from harvest to vats! I would love to know more about the process. ONe day I will take a tour or do some reading. Used to work a farm starting with pruning and tying the vines..on to berries and tree fruits, then back to the vineyards...

3:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

Beautiful, cool and windy here. Typical after hurricane weather except for temp.

3:26 pm

TraderKate

finally looked at a map for where you are, yes - you do get a lot of variable weather your way diane!

3:27 pm

BzznBea

It is absoultely gorgeous here today. Dry and cool but warm in the sun. Mom sat on the front poch for over two hours this afternoon.

3:27 pm

Are the trees starting to turn down your way TO? a few of ours have started...

3:28 pm

dianedecoder

One of my favourite movies is "A Walk in The Clouds" set in the Napa Valley.....Gave me a little insight into the grape growing/wine industry.

3:28 pm

TraderKate

sounds nice Bzzn, did you make out well with all the rain from Mike?

3:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

A bit. Not sure about the Poconos

3:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

Yes bra how are you

Pyewacket

OMG I tried everything I could think of but that would never have occurred to me. It's obvious NOW, LOL!

3:32 pm

dianedecoder

Pyewacket.....click on the Help icon above....it explains everything really well.

3:32 pm

BzznBea

We didn't put the sides up on the hoop house last night. I worried I might have lost several plants in there.

3:33 pm

Pyewacket

Couldn't figure out why some letters occurred more than once. Thx

TraderKate

check out the "help" button above Pye.. some further explanations there.

3:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

Two more stops and this hell will end. Local train.

3:33 pm

Pyewacket

Help told me nothing. It doesn't even give a list of letter points.

3:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

Points on each tile

3:34 pm

BzznBea

LOL! TO! I can't imagine public transportation.

3:34 pm

TraderKate

Very shaky ride today TO? Makes it hard to type!

3:34 pm

Pyewacket

Anyway thanks.

3:34 pm

Pyewacket

I don't see well. All I see under the letters are blobs

3:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

Oh yes.

3:34 pm

Pyewacket

A little white blob. I assume that's the number.

3:34 pm

BzznBea

Pye, what do you mean by letter points?

3:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

Train beats car but I n

3:35 pm

Pyewacket

Points that each letter is worth. Doesn't really matter, its getting the word itself that matters.

3:35 pm

dianedecoder

I love your nick, Pyewacket ! Once, years ago, I played Text Twist in a really awesome chat room and one of our players had that name!

I'll bet that was me. I used to play Text Twist all the time

3:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

Later, gators.

3:37 pm

Pyewacket

I bigified the page. Now I can see those little numbers under the letters. Sort of blurrily but I can see them now. Never occurred to me to enlarge the page since the letters on the grid are so large.

3:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

Oh boy now I get to DRIVE home in rush hour!

3:39 pm

The chat room was named "Gars" and it was about 15 years ago !

Are you finished?

4:06 pm

welki

Ha! A gorgeous but busy day today. Picking at my last 75 for about a half hour or so. Have a fundraiser to go to at my church tonight. "Diamonds and Denim"...tempted to go "denim" and be done with it.

4:32 pm

BzznBea

I wouldn't even know how to dress for "Diamonds"...

4:33 pm

TraderKate

Wow, you have been busy!
Why not doo both? wear denim and drape yourself in diamonds, trendy chic ;)

4:33 pm

ChampFit

The description literally says that "denim" is cowboy or casual, and diamonds is cocktail or formal wear. Won't that be an eclectic crowd?

4:33 pm

TraderKate

YOu could dress as a harlequin? or a playing card...

Welcome, becky! I'm probably doing a jumpsuit...I feel that's a good compromise. Will jack it up with jewelry. Hope I don't have to pee...that's the downside.

4:34 pm

That w word. What's up with that?

8:32 pm

wht

Indeed.

8:32 pm

hurshy

8:33 pm

MollyL

What's up with a lot of words in this grid.

8:33 pm

wht

Can I have a clue for the last as7? I have climbed the first one.

8:33 pm

m9f9l

LOL Molly.

8:36 pm

m9f9l

thanks wht. It ends with a "people" suffix.

8:37 pm

m9f9l

Starts the same as the other as7

8:39 pm

m9f9l

Finally nbt

8:39 pm

wht

wtg m9

8:40 pm

m9f9l

tks. did you get that 7?

8:40 pm

Not yet. Don't get the people suffix.

8:41 pm

hurshy

8:41 pm

m9f9l

think of groups. Israel...

8:41 pm

m9f9l

Hi hursh

8:41 pm

hurshy

hi

8:42 pm

m9f9l

You're probably already done! :P

8:43 pm

hurshy

nah, i didn't work on it much at the flip, just came about half an hour ago

8:43 pm

m9f9l

I'm over 1/2way!!

8:43 pm

m9f9l

I think that's about when I got here too

8:43 pm

hurshy

cool

8:43 pm

m9f9l

I have 116 words now

8:44 pm

m9f9l

I usually aim to get 1/2way on each tile before I list.. but I may not get there tonight!

8:44 pm

m9f9l

I only have 2 off the first d

8:44 pm

hurshy

die & dies

8:45 pm

wht

Finally got the 7. I was trying the singular and not the plural form.

8:45 pm

hurshy

yeah that's always tricky

8:46 pm

m9f9l

yay

8:46 pm

wht

I just found the ea7. It was not hard, but it still took me a while. :^)

8:47 pm

m9f9l

ha ha. thanks for that one

8:47 pm

hurshy

haha

8:49 pm

m9f9l

ok.. two interesting ones off that first d. the de7/8

8:50 pm

hurshy

there are three de7 off there (at least) and two of them have an 8

8:51 pm

m9f9l

I have 2, one with an 8. so need to find that other combo!

8:52 pm

m9f9l

AH! NOW I see death :-)

8:52 pm

m9f9l

Thanks hursh!

8:53 pm

wht

m9, Only in Babble would a message about seeing death show up with a smiley face. :^)

8:54 pm

m9f9l

Not true!! We could have been discussing Disc World ;)

8:55 pm

m9f9l

Terry Pratchett has written a quite amusing Death.

8:58 pm

wht

I must be going blind. I finally found our freind the hairy-nosed dolphin.

9:04 pm

hurshy

i could've sworn that the animals, the animals, they came in by twosies twosies...

9:08 pm

wht

elephants and kangaroosies roosies

9:09 pm

hurshy

exactly.

9:17 pm

m9f9l

Oh great. Now that song is stuck in my head.

9:17 pm

hurshy

lol, sorry

9:18 pm

m9f9l

There's not two c's. But did you know smectic is a word?

9:18 pm

hurshy

nope

9:18 pm

hurshy

i did want scenic tho

9:19 pm

wht

No I didn't. And I probably will forget that before it ever shows up in the grid.

9:19 pm

m9f9l

Yup

9:20 pm

hurshy

woot, i just hit 200

9:20 pm

m9f9l

It sounds like made up slang. "Things were gettin' so smectic around here, so I put my needle case in my pocket, jumped on my river dolphin and skeedaddled!"

9:21 pm

m9f9l

Nice! I had to leave for a bit to help my daughter in the kitchen. I'm still at 124

9:21 pm

hurshy

hectic, smectic, is what it makes me think

9:21 pm

hurshy

although it really should be schmectic in that case

9:21 pm

m9f9l

exactly!

9:22 pm

m9f9l

Yes. We must have rools for our made up words.

9:22 pm

wht

I thought that schmectic would be a drawing done by a really bad engineer or architect.

9:23 pm

m9f9l

HA HA HA!

9:31 pm

wht

Can I get clues for the te8's? I assume they are related.

9:34 pm

m9f9l

I like it when you ask these things wht, because I haven't listed yet so I didn't know there were two te8s. They sound like a decimal disease?

9:34 pm

m9f9l

Ohh.. they have to do being sick from tapeworms. Lovely.

9:35 pm

m9f9l

I'm not 1/2way on the lower H or the E next to it or the top E.

9:37 pm

wht

ty m9. That is fireworks for me.

9:39 pm

wht

The first two he words might refer to a German bum?

9:39 pm

m9f9l

WTG wht!!!

9:39 pm

wht

Then there are the German soldiers who fought in the American revolution.

9:40 pm

m9f9l

ah. tks!

9:40 pm

wht

and a he7/8 pair which probably refer to something else but look like they could be a variation on that.

9:41 pm

m9f9l

That reminds me I need to start working on Gage's costume. He just got a union soldier hat, and that will be our default costume if I can't figure out a plague doctor for him. He's really into history

9:41 pm

wht

The last he7 uses the high point tile and ends like an honored Japanese person.

9:42 pm

wht

Oh m9. I was in Venice a year ago. I could have picked you up a mask when I was there. :^)

9:43 pm

m9f9l

Nice. I think I have some paper mache in my future

9:45 pm

m9f9l

Yeah, we're going for the more stylized L'Orme look than the ones in German museums.

9:45 pm

wht

Do you have the e6 which refers to a far away land?

9:46 pm

m9f9l

I have the e6 which is excuse for nonappearance in court

9:47 pm

m9f9l

And now, thanks to you, I have the one for a dancer wink, wink

9:48 pm

wht

There is an ex6/7 pair

9:48 pm

m9f9l

ok. A pair of dancers! :-)

9:49 pm

m9f9l

One more off the top E and I'll be 1/2way on all tiles

9:49 pm

m9f9l

oh my!! slap me with a volcano!

9:50 pm

m9f9l

or two

9:50 pm

m9f9l

That's it. I'm listing! LOL

9:52 pm

wht

Do you need any more clues before I call it a night?

9:52 pm

m9f9l

Nope. Thank you very much though!

9:55 pm

wht

OK. good luck with the rest of the grid. Good night.

9:56 pm

JenMO16

LOL

10:28 pm

m9f9l

I got that word without clues, but I only know it because of babble

10:29 pm

JenMO16

My brother and his family had to put a dog down, a cat ran away, and the other cat is depressed. They just moved back to KS from FL.
