KIMMYDEE

12:54 am

1:04 am

KIMMYDEE

Thanks Diz for looking that up. It means a lot to me that you even said that you had to.

1:05 am

hurshy

we're an honest bunch

1:06 am

KIMMYDEE

This "culture" on here seems to encourage a sense of "all knowing"

1:07 am

KIMMYDEE

not exactly welcoming for everyone.

1:07 am

grannyrose

please explain kimmy....not sure i understand where you are going with that statement.

1:07 am

KIMMYDEE

Hurshy - you I think, did describe this as a culture?

1:08 am

hurshy

we are equally honest in our braggings and in our admissions of banging our heads against a wall.

1:09 am

hurshy

we ain't shy bout sayin nuttin

1:09 am

sammysmom

and i do both on a regular basis .. swearing also helps

1:10 am

Christine

Mazel tov, Sammysmom ... and to the kids.

1:10 am

KIMMYDEE

I was going to say very well said @ you Hurshy - but not at the last thing you said

1:10 am

grannyrose

well whoop-dee-do.... i just found my last 4 letter word... loll still have 8 to find

1:10 am

hurshy

it's BECAUSE it's so hard that we brag when we have victories

1:11 am

sprite

good morning all

1:11 am

grannyrose

{{{{{{{ spritey}}}}}}}}}

1:11 am

hurshy

well, at least, speaking for myself, i feel that's the case. i shouldn't make assumptions about everybody else, lol.

1:11 am

sammysmom

ta christine

1:11 am

sammysmom

hey sprite !

1:11 am

KIMMYDEE

Ok @ Hurshy - but please don't use weird slang that you wouldn't normally use

1:11 am

sprite

*hugs rose* How was your day, darling?

1:11 am

Kamanjah

Hi all, and special healing hugs for sprite!

1:11 am

sprite

hiya smom!

1:12 am

juniperberet

Lol, get to know Hurshy a bit, Kimmy, before you judge - there's no language style she won't play with.

1:12 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* Hello dear one, how have you been holding up? Still need to answer your email, have been a bit tardy in that respect.

1:12 am

grannyrose

out for lunch with june. then home. too hot for anything else

1:13 am

hurshy

kimmydee, you will soon find out some important things about me... 1) my chief value in life is silliness. 2) i love to read, and i've read books with all kinds of dialects and writing styles. and whenever i get in the mood i use whichever strikes my fancy. scots is one of my faves.

1:13 am

grannyrose

{{{{{{{kam}}}}}}} dear friend. how are things?

1:13 am

sprite

too hot is no fun, for sure

1:13 am

sprite

and we love you for it, hursh

1:13 am

hurshy

thank you for anticipating my second point so well, juniper!

1:13 am

grannyrose

lollllll.... not to mention valley girl

1:14 am

Kamanjah

Well, Michael is home and dad's in assisted living and won't answer his cell phone. They're trying to get his land line number transferred so he can get calls. I'm very happy to have my hubby home!

1:15 am

grannyrose

welcome home Michael. good news mostly then kam

1:15 am

KIMMYDEE

Alrighty then Hurshy - if that is true we may have a lot in common.

1:15 am

sprite

wow, glad he is back home with you, Kam. Hard to have his Dad not answering phonecalls, but that will ease over time, I am sure

1:16 am

hurshy

oh, and i'm only a wannabe brit. i'm actually in the US. cursing my ancestors for ever moving here.

1:16 am

Christine

Kimmydee, tell us a bit about yourself. I know you've been on babble for a long time, but you're a bit of a stranger, still.

1:18 am

KIMMYDEE

I'd love to - but not tonight.

1:18 am

KIMMYDEE

too tired

1:19 am

sprite

ks killed

1:21 am

grannyrose

yay sprite. good job

1:21 am

sprite

just want to have the ugliness out of the way before starting to babble, lol

1:21 am

grannyrose

what time is it where you are kimmy?

1:26 am

sprite

hard question lol ;)

1:26 am

grannyrose

seems so... or maybe fallen asleep at the keyboard....

1:27 am

sprite

...will wake up with keyboard imprint in one cheek... not telling which one

1:28 am

grannyrose

naughty sprite

1:28 am

sprite

:D

1:29 am

Kamanjah

Well, it's nearly 11:30 in Calif, and the further east you go, the later it is...I'm tired tonight, so am going to head out...I've found I can get a lot more words in the morning, so have been watching TV with hubby lately. It's good to not have my brain "in gear" before trying to sleep!

1:30 am

sprite

and there he goes again... of all places in the whole caravan... Terra insists on lying draped over my two plastered feet.

1:30 am

sprite

sleep well, dear Kam *hugs*

1:30 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams dear kam xoxox

1:31 am

Kamanjah

Ouch! I hope you can get a walking cast or boot when you go for your recheck. The "no weight bearing" thing is totally sucky.

1:31 am

grannyrose

and how come your feet are on the floor? hmmmm?

1:31 am

sprite

they are not. They are up on the bed, elevated and well. So Terra deserves points for sheer stubbornness and stamina.

1:32 am

grannyrose

lolll okay then.... sweet dreams terra

1:32 am

grannyrose

lolll okay then.... sweet dreams terra

1:32 am

grannyrose

aarrgghh.... noooooo

1:32 am

sprite

I am doing my exercises with Terra on top of my feet. Extra weight for more muscle, lol

1:34 am

grannyrose

that should be interesting to see. june's dog, Eli, sits on the strangest things and appears quite comfortable. metal table feet, handbags, my feet, her feet...

1:34 am

sprite

yep, sounds like a dog, lol. They are odd that way.

1:36 am

Christine

Good grief, Sprite -- what kind of rabbit is that, in your profile?

1:36 am

sprite

it is a tiger bunny!

1:43 am

Christine

Well, of course it is. When she was a wee one, my daughter had a stuffed bunny-bear, a lovely bear with rabbit ears. Obviously, made by an imbibing toymaker, but sooo loved, for many, many years.

1:44 am

sprite

my babble is buggy, it seems. I am certain the two top T words are ty, and I found them. But the tile refuses to grey out, even after refreshing.

1:45 am

sprite

awww so sweet, Christine. That is the way with love, isn't it. Who cares what it looks like. It is the feeling that counts.

1:45 am

grannyrose

thats strabge sprite

1:46 am

grannyrose

*strange*

1:46 am

sprite

yeah it is.

1:46 am

grannyrose

did the ty words enter your list?

1:47 am

sprite

fixed it by typing the words into the add box directly and not through lickety's browser.

1:47 am

sprite

yes they did, strange enough. They were in my list and in lickety's list. But the tile refused to budge.

1:47 am

grannyrose

aha....

1:50 am

KIMMYDEE

Does the drama continue tomorrow?? Dun, dun, duuun...Does Kim wake up with unorganized alphabet letters all over her face from a keyboard? Who knows. Will Sprite keep the "tiger" stripes on her rabbit icon? Tune in to see what happens on the Babblers and the Unfamous...

1:52 am

sprite

speak for yourself, woman... I am famous. At least in my own home :D

1:52 am

grannyrose

poor kimmy.... you are tired dear.

1:53 am

KIMMYDEE

whoa

1:53 am

KIMMYDEE

then go ahead girls and just let loose what you'd like to say

1:54 am

Christine

Generally

1:54 am

grannyrose

and yes, the drama does continue tomorrow... loll

1:54 am

sprite

this bunny may lose her hair, but never her stripes...

1:54 am

grannyrose

""hear her roar ""

1:55 am

KIMMYDEE

geez - I never mentioned hair loss

1:55 am

Christine

Where are you, in the US, kimmydee? I'm in Los Angeles, God's own country.

1:55 am

sprite

the drama is our daily bread and butter, rose, what would we do without it?

1:56 am

grannyrose

have to use a spoon for the jam, sprite

1:56 am

grannyrose

have to use a spoon for the jam, sprite

1:56 am

KIMMYDEE

It was supposed to play out like a soap opera

1:56 am

grannyrose

aarrgghh... did it again.

1:57 am

sprite

better use that spoon, rose, you have sticky fingers now :)

1:57 am

grannyrose

when was the last time you joined in the chat kimmy?

1:58 am

grannyrose

oh yeah.... hmmmm.... not going there... loll

1:58 am

sprite

*giggles*

1:58 am

KIMMYDEE

ok - then nevermind

1:59 am

sprite

I think we are more of a soup opera here

1:59 am

grannyrose

who were your companions in babble when you last played? or did you never stop playing?

1:59 am

KIMMYDEE

hmmm - what does that mean about soup

2:00 am

grannyrose

suds, suds, all over the floor... and me without a ... oh yeah, i have one now..

2:00 am

sprite

eating is an important part of babble... cannot count the recipes I got here

2:00 am

grannyrose

soup, a lot of different vegetables mixed together... yup, describes babble perfctly.

2:00 am

KIMMYDEE

I may have chatted with some people on Babble many years ago, but I don't really remember with who.

2:03 am

grannyrose

so kimmy, we (sprite and i) are close friends. we have met in real life. and we usually share a lot of stuff via emails. but sometimes the chat here cops it. when we want an answer quickly.

2:03 am

sprite

*grins* or just wanna banter

2:04 am

grannyrose

AND we both have a very earthy sense of humour.

2:04 am

KIMMYDEE

that's awesome

2:04 am

grannyrose

we have been known to reduce other babblers into spasms of giggles.

2:05 am

KIMMYDEE

I'm glad that you have a great relationship

2:05 am

KIMMYDEE

seriously! :)

2:06 am

KIMMYDEE

you gals have been very funny and others as well.

2:06 am

grannyrose

we are fortunate to have found each other. what i am trying to say kimmy, please feel free to join in the banter.or if you have some issue and you want to share, we both are more than willing to help if we can.

2:07 am

sprite

that is babble chat for ya... silly as can be, unless someone needs to vent, then we rally and support

2:07 am

KIMMYDEE

yay - free therapy!

2:07 am

grannyrose

have you been here when ruru gets going with his puns?

2:08 am

KIMMYDEE

I did meet Ruru today

2:08 am

KIMMYDEE

it was hilarious

2:08 am

sprite

I love our ru...not just because of the puns... he is a solid guy

2:08 am

rururocks

Yes but i am now the sheep person

2:09 am

KIMMYDEE

I called him a sheep person

2:09 am

grannyrose

BUT and this is a big BUT... if you are in therapy, we will not interfere with what the two of you have discussed.

2:09 am

sprite

2:09 am

KIMMYDEE

2:12 am

sprite

2:12 am

KIMMYDEE

2:13 am

sprite

2:13 am

rururocks

Yes. Don is a little quacked

2:13 am

grannyrose

his duckie is on the windowsill, there is plenty of loo paper... and he hasn't slipped and broken anything or himself.

2:13 am

sprite

birds of a feather...

2:14 am

rururocks

He likes to get down

2:14 am

sprite

so why was he yelling? Cold feet? Oh no, that would be a plus at your temps atm. Let me see. Pulled a muscle. Dropped his newspaper.

2:14 am

grannyrose

and ru, you'll love this. he had a screw loose...

2:15 am

sprite

what else's new

2:15 am

KIMMYDEE

You guys really know how to amuse yourselves. God bless. I hope all of the cashews mix in well with the rest of the nuts.

2:15 am

grannyrose

2:21 am

rururocks

2:21 am

rururocks

Me plus too much sodium with a consonant in the middle

3:06 am

zoozzoom

Too much sodium?

3:07 am

rururocks

Like with pepper

3:08 am

zoozzoom

Oh okay thanks.

3:08 am

zoozzoom

Meskalt

3:08 am

rururocks

Almost

3:09 am

zoozzoom

Sorry forgot to put the cursor back

3:15 am

zoozzoom

Ah! And there it is. Thank you!

3:38 am

zoozzoom

For some reason I am not seeing many words for the T next to the R. I only have 2/10.

3:44 am

zoozzoom

Found 4 now. Will have to leave it for later as I need to go. Happy babbling everyone!

3:45 am

helenary

helenary

zoozzoom

And a consanant before the sometimes vowel.

3:50 am

zoozzoom

Glad you found it!

3:51 am

zoozzoom

And I'm out of here.

4:53 am

rubyfoo

I think this may be a new low, taste-wise, for the chog.

4:54 am

rubyfoo

Nobody wants to read bout DÃ§n and his oioet!

4:56 am

rubyfoo

toilet*

5:46 am

mattygroves

Well....just don't read it then? Just sayin'. I do sympathise but everyone is going to find things in the chog they don't like - there is no moderation and no specific rules (apart from 'don't be an arse') - I am sure there are people who aren't keen on my chat subjects, and yours, and pretty much everyone else's. I kind of feel that as long as someone isn't trolling or being cruel, it's not down to us to decide what is appropriate and what isn't.

5:49 am

juniperberet

Well said, Matty. There's a lot of 'chat shaming' going on the chog lately, against absolutely nothing malicious or worthy of such negativity. It must be quite oppressive for those who like to chat.

5:59 am

mattygroves

Today's phantom (for me) - refine

6:14 am

!!!

I agree with you guys. I'd say babble is one of the few remaining PG places on the internet. It's silly to see people like Kimmy freaking out on everyone... it's a game. Nobody is actually bragging. It's easy to misinterpret things you read.

6:15 am

!!!

(I didn't mean to send that UGH but I'll just say) - if anyone is that bothered, life is too short - go find something else to do that makes you happy :)

6:16 am

!!!

in other news, was babble pro actually a thing, or am I remembering wrong? I'm pretty sure I did it, but I don't remember why!

6:17 am

mattygroves

You can actually close the chog as well, if you're so inclined. I tend to just ignore it unless I fancy looking (or need help). Yep, Babble Pro is a thing - it's free, it's a PC program that makes some things rather easier

6:18 am

!!!

Oh, chat doesn't bother me at all! It's just funny to read the complaining lately. :)

6:18 am

!!!

I swear I remember paying $10 or something, to unlock tile stats? Something like that. I did it :)

6:18 am

mattygroves

Also, Babble used to be only semi-free - if you played for a while, you'd lose the stats if you didn't pay a one off fee - that's not true anymore

6:18 am

mattygroves

I paid it too - I've been around a while.

6:20 am

!!!

:) Same! Mr. God deserves the money. I didn't realize I've been on here since 2005/06, time flies.

6:21 am

!!!

Anyway, have a good day :):) I didn't mean to actually send that earlier - hit enter and it went. Take care guys! <3

me8, please?

7:18 am

bojazz

7:20 am

MollyL

7:20 am

MollyL

A pretzel is not sweet, it is.....

7:24 am

MollyL

Name that proper noun. Web site for handmade gifts and jewelry.

7:27 am

bojazz

7:28 am

Savoury, salty, unsweet, Baffled by the ME clues. Can anyone give a dumbed down clue, please?

3:48 pm

ME + slug with a shell minus the 'i' + consanant + sometimes vowel.

3:54 pm

zoozzoom

Or for a very easy way to find the word check the chat log at 9:00am

3:56 pm

Soodle

Ah, Zooz. Got it eventually. Thanks pal. How's life with you?

3:57 pm

Soodle

Seems like a long time since we chatted....

3:57 pm

zoozzoom

Glad you found it! Plodding on. How goes it with you?

3:58 pm

zoozzoom

I know..we must be doing the grids at different times. :-)

3:59 pm

Soodle

Ooooh. Counting down the days now till I'm promoted to Grandma!! All going well - 9 weeks from now. I am unspeakably excited!!!!

4:00 pm

zoozzoom

Wow that time has flown by!

4:01 pm

Soodle

...... being Unspeakably Excited doesn't stop me speaking excited

4:02 pm

zoozzoom

LOL and so it shouldn't!

4:02 pm

Soodle

I know!!! Thanks br

4:03 pm

Soodle

all is going well

4:03 pm

zoozzoom

Are you going to be present at the birth?

4:04 pm

Soodle

Good Lord, no, Zooz. I was there when my own 3 were born. That was sufficient!!!!

4:05 pm

Soodle

Lol

4:05 pm

zoozzoom

Wimp..lol

4:05 pm

Soodle

How are the aged parents, Zooz?

4:06 pm

zoozzoom

They are trying their best bless them.

4:08 pm

zoozzoom

Mothers diverticulitis is really bad. Not much I can do to help but give support.

4:10 pm

zoozzoom

Is your daughter still in in USA?

4:10 pm

zoozzoom

In the*

4:10 pm

Soodle

I echo what you said. Bless them. And bless you. I am acutely aware of the challenges you face. Well done, Zooz for what you do for them. I know exactly what you are going through.

4:12 pm

zoozzoom

Thanks ((Soodle))

4:14 pm

Soodle

Ha! She is home. A shadow of her former self (jet lag) and totally upscuttled. She sent her elderly mother (me) videos of her 'doing shots' off a semi naked man on a bar counter.

4:15 pm

zoozzoom

Oh good grief haha! Sounds like she enjoyed her time over there then.

4:17 pm

Soodle

Seriously ..... can anybody explain to me why youngsters feel the need to share EVERYTHING with everybody???? Sheesh. Some things are better left unshared,

4:18 pm

zoozzoom

Glad she is enjoying her life though.

4:18 pm

Nef

Good Afternoon. My goodness, Soodle! She's trying to worry you I think!

4:20 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Nef :-)

4:20 pm

Nef

My daughter does things like that to get a rise out of me (I told her she's just making me older and more demented!) ;-)
She's cut down on *some* of the stuff she tells me now.

4:20 pm

Soodle

Hey Nef ((())). My offspring seem to try to outdo each other in terms of worrying their poor old mother. It's exhausting

4:21 pm

Soodle

Ha!!! I hear you, Nef!!

4:22 pm

Nef

Hi zoos. I'm sorry to hear about your mother's diverticulitis. I had to take a friend in to the ED at 10 PM 2 weeks ago; she lives alone & had a bad attack & told me she'd drive herself in. I wouldn't let her.

4:22 pm

zoozzoom

I am sure you did things that would of worried your parents back in the days!

4:23 pm

Nef

Not me, zoozz. *I* was the *good* child between the 2 hellions. ;-)
(In all seriousness, I was afraid to worry my adults)

4:24 pm

zoozzoom

Yeah it is hard, Nef, they say the only thing really is major surgery.

4:24 pm

periwinkle

ty all for the me8

4:25 pm

zoozzoom

Nice one, Peri!

4:26 pm

Nef

My son put us through hell when he was 18 -21; but he straightened up after he was 25.
My daughter has grown up; but she still tries to stir the pot & worry me.

4:26 pm

Nef

Hi peri

4:26 pm

Nef

How old is your Mom, zoozz?

4:27 pm

periwinkle

hi Nef, hi all

4:28 pm

zoozzoom

80 this November or 81...I am useless at remembering ages.

4:28 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Peri :-)

4:29 pm

Soodle

Hi Peri. And Nef - with regard to offspring - Vive La Differance!!!!

4:30 pm

Nef

Is she following a specific diet zoozz?

4:31 pm

zoozzoom

She had sheet given to her from the hospital with things to eat and things to avoid.

4:32 pm

Nef

The diet does help; and the antibiotics to get rid of the inflammation.

4:33 pm

zoozzoom

She had antibiotics but they did not touch it.

4:34 pm

Nef

Did she tell the doc that?

4:35 pm

zoozzoom

She could eat something one day and it would be fine then have it again another time and be really bad.

4:36 pm

zoozzoom

Yeah she told him and said the only thing is surgery.

4:36 pm

Nef

:-(

4:37 pm

zoozzoom

Ruddy nightmare.

4:38 pm

Nef

How is her health otherwise?
(&, truth be told, my friend is still trying to get back to her "normal" also)

4:39 pm

zoozzoom

Frail but not too bad.

4:40 pm

zoozzoom

She refuses to have surgery but at her age I get that.

4:42 pm

Nef

then maybe she should go for it? IDK, My 1 Aunt just had major surgery on a colon cancer last January; she is 84 & although she had some complications for the first monthor so & was weak afterwards; she's busier than she was before surgery now; I rarely catch her at home anymore

4:42 pm

zoozzoom

Well enough depressing talk time for me to retire for the evening. Thanks for listening. Happy babbling.

4:43 pm

Nef

Take care, zoozz. And good luck. Ask her if her quality of life is where she wants it for the rest of her life.

4:45 pm

zoozzoom

I will ask her tomorrow for sure. Take care xx

4:46 pm
