darwing. my wittle darwing kitten (pictured, left)

12:49 am

rubyfoo

That kitten is adorable

12:51 am

hurshy

yes, she is. she still is, even though she is a grown-up sophisticated lady cat. she is petite and dainty.

12:52 am

rubyfoo

I'e love add a cat to the household, but I Don't think the dogs wouod accept one

12:53 am

hurshy

we fight a lot about whether she is grown-up-sophisticated-lady-cat or darling-suckle-baby-roo

12:53 am

hurshy

i am a proponent of the latter view, but her self-image relies on the former

12:55 am

rubyfoo

There's a neighbor-cat who stands at the gate andmocks them

12:55 am

hurshy

lol

12:55 am

hurshy

"Behold, I stand at the door and mock..." -cat bible

12:57 am

hurshy

well, odds-wise, the 8 has the best chance of being an A, since that's what 3 of my last 5 words are

12:57 am

rubyfoo

She even comes on the property and slinks past them

12:58 am

hurshy

saucy

12:58 am

rubyfoo

exactly

12:58 am

hurshy

i like saucy cats

12:59 am

hurshy

hmm, i wonder if "sassy" is a corrupted version of "saucy"... time for an etymology check

12:59 am

hurshy

it IS! i love it when i guess right

1:02 am

rubyfoo

bravo!

nice to see you back here :) I love babbling with my bestie

1:11 am

grannyrose

we babble while we may... only it's august.

1:12 am

sprite

we babble while we may
we babble every day
we babble through the year
we babble there and here

1:12 am

grannyrose

lolll... just realised... may.... august.....both are months but the words mean something else completely. you just got to love the english language.

1:12 am

sprite

so true.

1:15 am

grannyrose

we went over and visited my brother, his wife and our niece yesterday. sheesh... that little gal is so full of energy. she'd give a bullet train a good run for its money.

1:15 am

sprite

oh wonderful, rose!

1:16 am

sprite

did you have a good time with your brother too?

1:17 am

grannyrose

sure did. he is such a lovely soul. and Irene is lovely too. at the mo' they are in a small two bedroom apartment whilst their whole house is being reno'd and extended.

1:17 am

sprite

am so glad you had a real good visit.

1:19 am

grannyrose

we went down to Station pier which is where the big ships come in. had fish and chips near there. the fish so fresh you could almost swear it was still swimming.. then over to the beach where we all grew up. lovely to watch Grace running bare foot where we had once done.

1:19 am

sprite

priceless :)

1:21 am

grannyrose

how is everyone doing? i know you said you had addressed your deficiencies.... what have you been up to?

1:22 am

sprite

mostly busy with work, planning of the tiny house and oa. And helping rob in his struggle to find new work.

1:23 am

sprite

and how is the donster doing?

1:23 am

grannyrose

really well. the new natural remedy seems to be helping a lot.

1:24 am

sprite

that is awesome, honey. Good thinking.

1:26 am

grannyrose

lolll...thinking..... yeah.... it sort of hit me how i used to give the poor old alcoholics in my care, multiple vitamin B injections to help with their cognitive functions... then thought i wonder...and its working.

1:27 am

sprite

don't tell don it were alcoholics that inspired you, LOL

1:27 am

grannyrose

whoot.... just found the 9 with no prompts..

1:28 am

sprite

nice one!

1:30 am

grannyrose

and there goes the 8.... on a roll here

1:31 am

sprite

gooooo rose

1:37 am

grannyrose

there, done. not as fast as ruru or probably you. but finished in a decent time.

1:38 am

sprite

wtg rose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:39 am

sprite

it's not a ra4. And we all have our strong suits. You find biggies faster than I do.

1:40 am

grannyrose

and about this here diabetes thingy. how does pre-diabetic sound to you? it makes sense to me. surely any doc diagnosing a new diabetic would be trying meds and/or diet modifications. to me, that's the only thing that makes sense.

1:40 am

grannyrose

and about this here diabetes thingy. how does pre-diabetic sound to you? it makes sense to me. surely any doc diagnosing a new diabetic would be trying meds and/or diet modifications. to me, that's the only thing that makes sense.

1:40 am

grannyrose

gaaadddd. back to the twitchy finger *sigh*

1:40 am

sprite

yes, absolutely

1:42 am

grannyrose

i know its not a ra4 honey. not trying to beat anybody. it's a personal thing for me.

1:42 am

sprite

oh, that is another piece of good news here, btw. I have perfect bloodsugar ratings. Have been having them ever since the operation, so that is 3 years of bslvls as if I never had diabetes.

1:42 am

sprite

and without medication

1:42 am

grannyrose

i am handicapped you know. only two of my fingers work the keyboard.... lollll

1:43 am

sprite

but yes, diet modifications, exercise, and if needed, medication

1:43 am

sprite

lol @ handicapped

1:46 am

sprite

pre-diabetic would be with elevated lvls but not within the diabetes range yet... serious warning sign.

1:46 am

grannyrose

oh, and i won some free tickets to see an outdoor performance,by the australian ballet company, of Giselle. that's in october. Grace is coming over to stay for the night so that we can take her to see it.

1:46 am

sprite

fireflies

1:46 am

sprite

oh that is awesome! She will love it. So will you, lol.

1:47 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!!

1:47 am

sprite

7:30 am

hokie carla

hold on, one more

7:30 am

sukee

TY, I hadn't noticed the gerund yet :)

7:30 am

hokie carla

it's easy to miss today IMO

7:31 am

hokie carla

and there's another one!

7:34 am

hokie carla

stats for the i?

7:35 am

hokie carla

nm

7:35 am

sukee

in 6/24

7:35 am

sukee

I just found it myself

7:35 am

welki

'morning

7:35 am

hokie carla

I did a peri

7:35 am

sukee

I do that a lot too

7:35 am

hokie carla

gm, welki

7:36 am

sukee

Hi welki

7:36 am

hokie carla

found the 9!

7:36 am

welki

hey sukee - how're you liking the new blue jays this season - what a lot of changes!

7:36 am

sukee

It sure is different, I have a lot of hope for the future.

7:37 am

sukee

I'm watching last nights game right now, they were out west.

7:37 am

welki

well done, hokie - i haven't gotten far enough to even look for something longer than 5 or 6 letters

7:37 am

sukee

What are the stats for the 9

7:37 am

welki

my only fear is that they'll trade the rising stars, like vlady and bo

7:38 am

welki

seems to be a pattern with the jays - i still miss donaldson

7:38 am

sukee

They have control of them for the next 5 years, they will not trade them.

7:38 am

hokie carla

it just came to me. re9, so to do one of the 7s again (if you want more clues just ask)

7:38 am

welki

and martin ... and all the others

7:38 am

hokie carla

how is vlady doing? we were in canada when he debuted and it was big, big news.

7:39 am

sukee

I miss Donaldson, Jose, EE, Tulo...

7:39 am

sukee

He is doing good, Bichette is doing better.

7:40 am

welki

yeah, lots of talent gone by the wayside

7:40 am

sukee

I found the 9 :)

7:41 am

hokie carla

I grew up in a big braves household but my kids don't like baseball, so we are kind of out of the loop. had never heard of vlady but we saw lots of stories about him.

7:41 am

sukee

Baseball is the only sport I really watch.

7:41 am

hokie carla

we couldn't get over how much bigger he is now than when they first signed him. he is one year older than my oldest son and about twice his size.

7:41 am

welki

i blame gibbons for the jays' nosedive - not only a poor manager, but a slob on the field

7:41 am

sukee

He is a big boy

7:42 am

sukee

I actually liked Gibby. The team were just aging.

7:42 am

hokie carla

and wtg on the 9, sukee! I'm not sure about the 8.

7:42 am

welki

montoyo looks professional and engages the team when things go well (and badly)

7:42 am

sukee

The players loved Gibby too though.

7:43 am

sukee

But, Charlie is definitely best for doing a rebuild.

7:46 am

welki

hokie, my dad was a big baseball fan. for a while, we lived near shea stadium and it was great going to games (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) - people really got into it - scorecards, singing the songs, eating the hot dogs and crackerjacks

7:47 am

welki

i never got the scorecard 'thing,' but my father would fill his out as if he was going to be tested on it

7:48 am

sukee

:)

7:48 am

hokie carla

I still love going to games but my kids think it's torture. they each only played a couple of seasons of baseball but played soccer the whole time. I think they like that soccer is a set amount of time whereas baseball may never end.

7:48 am

sukee

I let the commentators tell me the stats :)

7:49 am

hokie carla

I did some scorekeeping in my time ;)

7:49 am

hokie carla

I played softball pretty much my whole childhood and my two older brothers always played baseball.

7:49 am

welki

we used to have the calgary cannons - loved going to the games, but then they moved to alberquerque (i think)

7:50 am

hokie carla

was that a minor league team?

7:50 am

welki

i would have loved to be one of the fans at last nights jays' game in seattle - seems like SO much fun to make that trip (especially when they win!)

7:51 am

welki

yeah - AAA

7:51 am

sukee

It does look like fun.

7:51 am

sukee

There are about 4 times as many Toronto fans there as Seattle.

7:52 am

hokie carla

we have AAA here in Charlotte with a beautiful new stadium, but I've only been to one game. need to go more.

7:53 am

welki

i think, if we lived in toronto, we'd find a way to buy season tickets

7:53 am

welki

correction: if we lived near ANY MLB stadium, we'd find a way :D

7:54 am

hokie carla

where I grew up we have a very minor Mets team, it is rookie league so below single A. but we saw some good players play there, like Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden.

7:54 am

sukee

Here too, only think i miss about living in Toronto.

7:54 am

sukee

thing

7:54 am

welki

heh - my license plate when i lived back east was MRSMET

7:54 am

hokie carla

:D

7:55 am

sukee

Now Stroman is a Met.

don't forget the IN

10:43 am

lol ru -- was thinking the same thing

10:43 am

SamanthaJoy

I tailored that clue to my audience.

10:44 am

rururocks

ah ha.. i wondered samantha

10:47 am

MLFAN17

ca 5/18?

10:48 am

SamanthaJoy

we don't need no steenkin' ca6s -- change the first letter

10:48 am

MollyL

I was wondering earlier what kinds of clues people prefer. Ones like re + ag4 which give 4 of the 6 letters, or ones that make you think more. I like the ones that are not so "spell it out". It's more of a challenge. But I get tailoring the clues to your audience.

10:49 am

cybernan

rhymes with what boy scouts earn

10:50 am

SamanthaJoy

Done. Anyone want clues before I go?

10:50 am

there is a ca 6 before the ca 6/39

10:53 am

MLFAN17

its a ca 6/24

10:53 am

SamanthaJoy

Add a vowel to the ca4 before it

10:53 am

Minveryork

That ca 5/12 word is ca 4/5 word plus a vowel MLFAN17.

10:54 am

rururocks

good morning ms minver

Hello rururocks! How are you doing? I am enjoying a nice sunny day in Vermont. I've never babbled outside before.

MLFAN17

i mean the ca 5/12 i have ends in e

10:56 am

MLFAN17

but adding a vowel does nothing

10:56 am

SamanthaJoy

I went all the way back to the last ca5 before the ca6/39, mlf. If you want the word *just* before the ca 6/39, it's a ca6, not a ca5. WHich are you looking for?

10:56 am

rururocks

12:19 pm

hoping the leaves will be turning in the maritimes soon -- we are headed there the week after next.

12:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

home garden is crapl between wet spring, dry speels. oh and deer. lots of them.

12:20 pm

cybernan

don't know which are worse, deer or rabbits - both are major pests

12:21 pm

cybernan

do you live in an interface area, TO?

12:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

have both is mass quantities. tired of picking up after deer.

12:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

nan, i 'm not familiari with that term.

12:22 pm

cybernan

bordering on woods or open fields?

12:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

no.

12:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's because of development.

12:23 pm

cybernan

yet you have a lot of deer in town?

12:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. suburban area

12:23 pm

cybernan

we used to live in an interface area and the deer thought our lovely shaded yard was their napping ground.

12:24 pm

cybernan

I guess the grass was more comfortable to lie on than pine needles.

12:24 pm

cybernan

not to mention all those lovely shrubs and flowers available to nibble on

12:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

i just wish they would stop eaving their calling card.

12:25 pm

cybernan

yes that would have been nice

12:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

and pulling begonias out otf the ground then spitting them out

12:26 pm

cybernan

we live in a gated community now, but there is a mountain wildlife park only 2 streets away, so we have the occasional vist by a deer that has jumped the fence.

12:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

they are all over. one was standing bu my mailbos at 10 pm

12:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

afraid of nothing

12:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

haz, it's nice to see you.

12:28 pm

cybernan

yes they seem to be very tame. I used to take a rake to chase them out of the yard -- they would go just over the property line then turn around and look at me as if to say is this far enough, lady?

12:29 pm

cybernan

on my way -- hagd everyone :)

To those complaining about deer droppings, they are very good fertilizer. Collect them and put them in your compost. Quite non-toxic and great for the garden. They are nice, dry little nuggets, so easy to rake up. If you're finding wetter stuff, it ain't from deer.

Apparently my daughter had been phoning and phoning, she phoned everyone she could think of including my sister in South Africa and panicked so called the police to check me out!!!

Good evening! I had a few minutes earlier & got 24 words; I actually have some quiet time to myself (for a change!) & am going to try & finish this grid (if I'm lucky) tonight.

9:21 pm

Minveryork

Hi there Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

9:22 pm

Nef

Hi Min! I'm doing okay; how are you doing these days?

9:22 pm

Have been saving my last word since 1:20 this afternoon

9:22 pm

Nef

Did you get a vacation yet this summer?

9:22 pm

Minveryork

I am visiting family in Vermont before I go back to work.

9:23 pm

Nef

I would go nuts waiting that long to get fireworks! You have so much patience! :-)

9:24 pm

Nef

Will you be relaxing during that visit; or is it a bit stressful (families can wear on some people)

9:26 pm

Minveryork

I had a relaxing time with my parents. Now I am with my sister.I'll be babysitting my nephews for the next 2 days.

9:26 pm

Minveryork

Babysitting nephews isn't stressful,but it is a lot of work.

9:27 pm

Nef

Oh-oh. How old are they? Do they listen to Auntie Min?

9:27 pm

Minveryork

I have to wake up at 7:30 and I'm NOT a morning person!

I just stepped outside to watch real fireworks. The MN State Fair just shot off their evening fireworks.We live about 4 miles from the fairgrounds & can see (& hear) the fireworks each night during the fair (which lasts 12 days; until Labor Day).It's11:15 here now; I think that during the week they go off at 10P instead of 11P. I plan to have fireworks in Babble tonight too!
