of course it is, and valid too

1:35 am

SueMagee

How are the ankles, sprite?

1:37 am

sprite

good news, Sue! The right one is out of the cast, and the left one is in a walking cast now. I am allowed to gradually start putting weight on it now. I can move around a little!

1:38 am

SueMagee

That must be such a reluef. Iâ€™m delighted for you.

1:38 am

sprite

it really is. Makes a huge difference. For me, but also for my beloved, who is not having an easy time with work, health and my injuries.

1:38 am

sprite

how are you doing, Sue?

1:39 am

SueMagee

Iâ€™m absolutely fine, thanks, sprite.

1:39 am

sprite

that is lovely to hear

1:41 am

sprite

phantom: ambush

1:51 am

grannyrose

*wonders why ambush and sprite fit so nicely in the same sentence*

1:51 am

grannyrose

{{{{{{{spritey}}}}}}}} what wonderful news. and well done you.

1:52 am

sprite

*giggles* Hello my dearest friend *hugs*. How was Fang's BD party and how are you and Don doing today?

1:52 am

sprite

thanks. Am so happy. I can navigate the caravan without walker now. And outside with walker, so much easier than before.

1:53 am

grannyrose

it went waaaay too late. but was an absolute blast. i'm a bit achy and tired. had gym this morning. and don has the level of the brickwork almost down to his knees.

1:54 am

grannyrose

when's the first shower? or has that happened already?

1:55 am

sprite

oh that is amazing! I am glad it was fun. Not all contacts with Fang are that happy ;)
Well done on the gym, and I hope you are taking it easy most of the time now that the infusions are wearing off.
Good man, Don!

1:55 am

sprite

first shower will be as soon as Rob feels up to visiting the special care shop here, to buy me a shower bag for the left leg.

1:57 am

grannyrose

poor fang. her eldest, a daughter has severe drug and personality problems. we have known that for years. she has now found out her beloved son is addicted to ice. she has him attending rehab.and he is trying very hard to get of the wretched stuff.

1:58 am

sprite

ugh, that is really horrible. Maybe he could find support in his struggle in Narcotics Anonymous.

2:00 am

grannyrose

my heart sank for her and her son. he was the most lovely vivacious kid. now he is a sullen, non-communicative man.

2:01 am

sprite

what happened, do you know? Or is it trauma from having Fang for a mother?

2:03 am

grannyrose

daughter was abused badly by her uncle, fang's and don's brother. he was a teen at the time. daughter blames fang for the abuse. although she never told her mother, she expected fang to stop the abuse...

2:04 am

grannyrose

son has been through a traumatic divorce, and then another disastrous relationship. plus, his hair has fallen out.

2:04 am

sprite

omg I am so sorry for them. That is so painful. And poor Fang. So hard to be blamed when you were never told. I think the daughter somehow needed her mother to notice, even though she didn't tell her.

2:07 am

sprite

that's been tough on the son as well. Once he is out of rehab, you may want to suggest NA to him. He can find lifelong support there from people who know exactly what he is going through.

2:09 am

grannyrose

i will suggest it to fang. i think the fewer people he is aware of who know what has happened the better.

2:09 am

sprite

hm, not sure about that, I think the more people know the better. But only if he tells them, of course, not from anyone else.

2:10 am

grannyrose

agreed. and it fang who told us... so we are going to keep mum for now.

2:11 am

sprite

indeed. Will hold them in my prayers, sweetie, if that's okay.

2:11 am

grannyrose

absolutely sweetie. and thank-you.

2:12 am

grannyrose

btw, don has asked how Rob is doing.

2:14 am

sprite

aw that is so sweet. Rob is not in a great place atm. He just heard that the place where he works now, where he is placed temporarily, will not be available much longer. He is down, crying a lot, closes himself off from me most of the time.

2:22 am

sprite

phantoms: abuse and retreat

2:23 am

grannyrose

try petal, settle

2:24 am

sprite

ugh, you evil woman! I tried them both, just as you said lololol

2:24 am

grannyrose

lollllll

2:25 am

grannyrose

and i really wanted perturb

2:26 am

sprite

ooo good one. Phantom galore!

2:27 am

grannyrose

lolll... how about umbaste.... time to baste the turkey or not

2:27 am

sprite

lollol

2:27 am

2:28 am

sprite

2:28 am

sprite

um... pretam goes straight over my head.

2:29 am

grannyrose

pre= before.... tam= scottish hat

2:29 am

sprite

ah, didn't know tam is a scottish hat

2:31 am

sprite

2:32 am

grannyrose

2:32 am

sprite

great how the list is still growing :D

2:41 am

grannyrose

just reading your profile. dr god is gonna have to charge you for extra space... loll

2:41 am

sprite

roflolllll indeed. On the other hand, I am providing quite a service for all babblers in my space...

2:42 am

grannyrose

true. *grin*

2:43 am

sprite

btw, we have eaten two dinners from the meals-on-wheels thingy so far. Both times it was really taste. Am impressed so far.

2:45 am

grannyrose

good...

2:48 am

sprite

last word is S8. Not the one that ends in a tv series. Could you please help me? I am out of options to try.

2:49 am

sprite

sorry, it is ST8.

2:50 am

grannyrose

st8/50. s + greek letter + mr brooks with an extra consonant in it

2:51 am

sprite

oh my... thanks honey. Now that is a new one!

2:52 am

sprite

lollll it means stupid, half-witted. It did make me feel st8 for sure.

2:52 am

grannyrose

i was refraining from pointing that out.

2:53 am

grannyrose

weird. it is of scottish origin. amazing !

2:53 am

sprite

*giggles* I luvsya!
Fireflies, and time for me to answer some emails. *hugs* and lotsaluv, my friend. Take care of you.
To you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

Morning all. Anyone have stats for the L please?

3:41 am

Christine

LE 4/5 and 5/12

3:41 am

mattygroves

Thanks, Christine!

3:43 am

Christine

You're welcome.

3:50 am

mattygroves

10 Us - geez! So far, I have two of them. Interesting grid

3:59 am

Christine

Trying to think if I know 10 U-words ... only two, so far.

4:03 am

Christine

8 are um words, 2 are us words.

4:45 am

mattygroves

Yeah, I have two UM words. I hate vowel words

4:46 am

mattygroves

Aaah - you're an Englishwoman in the US - I'm an American (now dual national) in the UK

4:50 am

Christine

Where are you, in England

4:50 am

mattygroves

I live between Staines and Windsor, not far from Heathrow

4:51 am

mattygroves

Where are you from originally?

4:52 am

Christine

The 3rd word is a shadow, 4th and 5th are two ways to spell pl word.

4:52 am

rubyfoo

Bonjour!

4:53 am

rubyfoo

The sun is trying to come out with minimal success

4:53 am

mattygroves

I have the shadow and the referee, also another word that I don't know what it means - ah, apparently it means this: an inflorescence in which a number of flower stalks or pedicels, nearly equal in length, spread from a common center.

4:53 am

Christine

I'm from London's East End; I've been in California for 58years.

4:54 am

mattygroves

I also have a colour, usually preceded by the word 'burnt'

4:54 am

mattygroves

Ah - I've been in the UK 31 years

4:55 am

mattygroves

I now have 6 Us. Woop

4:55 am

rubyfoo

has spring arrived yet in the UK?

4:56 am

rubyfoo

etamp

4:56 am

rubyfoo

sorry

4:56 am

mattygroves

Sort of. Last week, we had two amazing days - up to 17C. This week it's nearer 11C with mixed sun and showers

4:56 am

mattygroves

Daffs are out though

4:56 am

MollyL

I don't know about the UK, but it's 22 degrees here so a big hell no to the Spring so far

4:57 am

mattygroves

22F?? Argh. It's around 50F ish here

4:57 am

Christine

Hello rubyfoo ... in sunny California, it's raining yet again. Perhaps that should be still. I think we've broken our drought, and perhaps a record, for rainfall. Or maybe I just don't remember last years rain?

4:57 am

rubyfoo

The daffs have formed buds, but it will be a few more days 'til they open

4:58 am

EmaMaria

um 8,60 and um 9,78 same start as the colour but then an ending which means diminuitive or feminine

4:58 am

MollyL

Our daffodils are coming up, but the weather is not matching their hopefulness.

4:59 am

mattygroves

Aaah - thanks EmaMaria!

4:59 am

MollyL

Last year, old lady winter refused to take her gracious leave. We had snow the day after the first day of Spring. That was an insult.

5:11 am

rubyfoo

At least, it's much less cold and l've made it through the winter although I had my doubts.

5:12 am

rubyfoo

One year there was about a foot of snow on 16 April here and the tulips were open and weren't harmed

5:13 am

rubyfoo

Last year the irises never even formed buds and there are three different clumps in v&rious parts of the garden

5:21 am

MollyL

I've seen tulips with snow on them. They are pretty hearty little flowers.

5:22 am

gapeach

Good morning. May I please have a clue for pr8-45? Thanks

5:23 am

mattygroves

I don't have it - I'm looking though

5:24 am

gapeach

Thanks, matty.

5:25 am

juniperberet

pr 8/45 ... pr + vowel + flavour

5:25 am

mattygroves

Lovely - thanks!

5:25 am

MollyL

Oh yeah, when you try the soup before it's done, I guess. Seems like a pretty weird word to me.

5:26 am

gapeach

Thanks so much.....I was just about to start pulling my hair out ...I don't have that much to lose....LOL

5:27 am

gapeach

Thanks to Molly also.

5:27 am

mattygroves

You can also find flavour again for a 7

5:27 am

rubyfoo

Hello Peach

5:28 am

gapeach

Hey there, ruby. How are you feeling today?

5:30 am

Christine

Rubyfoo -- last month, we had snow in Los Angeles county , the first time since 1961 the time before that was 1942 I think. My sister in England said this winter is so warm. The poor planet is suffering

5:34 am

rubyfoo

l've been having a tough time with major pain -- 15-20 on a scale of 1-10. lt's nasty but l hope that it's "just" from the fall and not the cancer. l'mnot ready for the end!

5:35 am

rubyfoo

l'll stop whining nd over-sharing.

5:35 am

rubyfoo

<-- embarrassed

5:36 am

gapeach

Oh, thanks,Matty for that other 7.

5:36 am

MollyL

Oh Ruby, you would have to work REALLY hard to be the Queen of over-sharing here. I think there are some who have you beat by a mile. : D

5:36 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Ruby. You need to get your pain controlled.

5:36 am

Lizlin

Hi all - sorry that you're having such a lot of pain Ruby. Sending you hugs.

5:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi Liz. How has Thursday been?

5:38 am

rubyfoo

l am very lucky to have such an assortment of friends who pray for me. Many different religions

5:38 am

gapeach

Don't be embarrassed, ruby, a lot of us here have a lot of pain. We will help you in any way we can.

5:38 am

Lizlin

Thursday's been good. Got lots done - sorting out the garden and baking bread.

5:39 am

Lizlin

Hope you have a good Thursday over in Europe and the States (and anywhere else)

5:39 am

Scrabbler

Ruby, you are truly suffering, not whining.

5:39 am

Lizlin

YOu've been through such a lot Ruby.

5:39 am

Scrabbler

Liz, we are getting hit with more snow, which is great for snowshoeing, but will have a warm-up this weekend.

5:40 am

gapeach

Ruby, I believe you should give serious thought to contacting the doctor and getting their butts on the ball here. Please let us know.

5:41 am

rubyfoo

Binghamton had what seemed like endless winters. We used to joke 11 months of winter, 2 days of summer

5:41 am

Lizlin

I know you enjoy the snowshoeing - but the thought makes me shiver!

5:41 am

Scrabbler

I like to snowshoe/XC-ski through March, if possible. And I recall doing so in the first week of April wearing a tee shirt.

5:41 am

rubyfoo

They keep telling me to take more oxy!

5:42 am

rubyfoo

You are amazing, scrabbler!

5:42 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Ruby. You should be comfortable.

5:42 am

Lizlin

If it controls your pain and the doctor's are advising it, perhaps you should, Ruby.

5:42 am

Scrabbler

I love the outdoors, I love being in the woods.

5:43 am

Lizlin

I've been XC skiing once and downhill skiing once but didn't get the bug. I also love being outdoors, preferably walking on the beach :)

5:43 am

Christine

Have a safe night/morning/day, ladies; I'm saving 92for tomorrow.

5:43 am

Scrabbler

I haven't downhill skied since 1983 and I am too afraid of getting injured.

5:44 am

rubyfoo

l loved downhill skiing, but didn't start 'til l was 32 as l Always thought of it as a "rich man's sport"

5:44 am

Lizlin

Enjoy your day, Christine

5:44 am

Christine

God bless

5:44 am

gapeach

Ruby, I agree with Liz.....just be sure to chart when and how much you take.

5:44 am

rubyfoo

(Christine)

5:44 am

Scrabbler

It takes a lot of money to ski, even to rent equipment and get lessons. Buying your own gear is really expensive.

5:46 am

rubyfoo

At 32, my son was 12 and l thought that even if it was beyond y means, it was Worth it to have a shared activity

5:46 am

Scrabbler

A pair of ski boots can be $500+.

5:49 am

rubyfoo

lt was less expensive in 1975 and l stopped eating any meat to save money

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes. But now the costs are so high.

5:52 am

rubyfoo

oops

5:57 am

Lizlin

27 left. Not seeing any more, so I'm off to read for a bit. Enjoy your days / nights and I hope you feel much better soon, Ruby.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Liz. I am stuck with 173 to go.

6:02 am

rubyfoo

bye Liz; l'm still on the first column, so "only" 202 words left. LOL

6:06 am

Scrabbler

100, time to get ready for work. Enjoy the day. Ruby, get comfortable, please.

Mine's nearly grown but there are still times I wish for a magic wand to pull actual information out of him

9:30 pm

stuck on the last 2 st8,50. clue anyone?

9:30 pm

Nef

Our son & grandson live with us right now; and the grandson is 9 years old. There are times when I feel the same way about him! "How was school today?" And (at 9) he just grunts & won't say!

9:31 pm

Nef

Sorry, Natasha; I don't have it yet

9:31 pm

Cannot imagine ever using either st8,50 word... but you never know when you might need a bingo in Scrabble!

9:45 pm

I can't think of ever using those words in a conversation; but I can think of a person who might be considered an st8/50 for causing a st 8/50! ;-)

LuluP

I'm new to this game. Can anyone please explain the abbreviations in the chatterbox? eg 2nd re7

11:40 pm

Nef

LuluP, 2ndre7 means the second w7 letter word starting with re.

11:42 pm

Nef

and whenwe put ba 6/24 that means it's a 6 letter word with the point totals equaling 24 points

11:45 pm

ls1

lulup if you look in the box at the bottom right you'll see Lickety's Babble Clues. That's an alphabetical list of the words in the grid. So when someone says 2nd re7 they're referring to that list.

11:45 pm

ls1

sorry, bottom left

11:50 pm

Thanks Nef and Is1 for your help!
