1:39 am

Did you feel you were on a monologue? LOL
I am here :)
1:40 am
Blaze

a little.... but this grid is fast for now...
1:40 am
sprite

Yes, as a blast, it even keeps up with my fingers today :)
Nice grid too.
1:48 am
Blaze

well I have found 72 words but we are having a wind storm and the power has fluctuated a few times and to be safe I am shutting down my computer ... see you all later......
1:49 am
sprite

Sorry to hear that! Good luck and see you later :)
1:58 am
sprite

Just got to say it: I LOVE the biggies today! Fairly common words, so rewarding!
2:09 am
Griffums

woof?
2:10 am
sprite

Woof! (((Griffs))))
It's a great grid!
2:11 am
Griffums

Sure looks like it - got a couple of the biggies. Not going to play tonight - was in a car accident today. Am okay but sore all over. Probably will be sore *and* stiff in the morning, if I don't go to work I may babble instead.
2:12 am
sprite

Ow Griffs! I am so sorry for you... you are having a streak of bad luck lately, aren't you?
Take a nice and very hot shower, that will help against the stiffness tomorrow. Big hug!
2:13 am
Griffums

If by that you mean about a 25-year streak of bad luck, then yes. :) I did take a hot shower. Hunter (apparently unhurt, but thrown against the back of my seat) was taken from the scene by a friend and spent the rest of the day at the daycare and didn't get home until late. So I tihnk we will just see how we are in the morning. You have a great day!
2:17 am
Griffums

(Perspective: The morning began by my being late to work because you couldn't get across town from the massive pileup caused by a guy with a stolen car - one died there, plus there was gunplay in the chase that follows. All I have is a possibly totaled car and some aches and pains. No worries. 'Night.)
2:17 am
sprite

I'll be thinking of you. Best of luck... to make up for those 25 years ;)
2:18 am
sprite

Bye Griffs!
It's quite an adventure... that you could certainly have done without. I hope Hunter is perfectly alright as well.

2:51 am
dalmatian5

What kind of work do you do?
2:52 am
ilongga

I work in a rehab hospital as a monitor tech.
2:53 am
dalmatian5

Sounds like it should usually be quiet at night. Why do you want to leave Vegas and where would you like to go? Sounds like you could get a job just about anywhere.
2:56 am
ilongga

the city is too fast for me, I don't like the enviroment here. I'm used to the southern cali. weather. heres its either too hot or too cold. if not for school, I'd be out of this place.
2:57 am
dalmatian5

So many people were moving to Nevada when the housing was cheap but I understand prices are going up like crazy. You cannot afford to buy property in So. Cal any more!
3:01 am
ilongga

thats ok, after school in the next 3 years I could. I could afford the house here, but I think my bed and my neighbor's bed are like next to each other. I'd like some space between me and the neighbor.

(But the grid says I have 205 words to find?)

3:18 am
Anuja

Wow... i have done 140... seems so far away
3:20 am

It's those last missing words that drive you crazy. Large puzzles usually start off fast and then at some point you hit that stone wall! I need 83 more words and cannot see another one in the grid!

Pauls' version (the UB40 one) of Red, Red Wine:
Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that i
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It`s up to you
All I can do, i`ve done
But mem`ries won`t go
No, mem`ries won`t go
I`d have thought
That with time
Thoughts of her
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don`t let me be alone
It`s tearin` apart
My blue, blue heart
---red red wine rap section---
Red red wine you make me feel so fine
You keep me rocking all of the time
4:42 am
Jacula

Well, that was interesting, as I transferred about half of that song over here. It was coming from a different site!
4:43 am

Never mind, doesn''t matter. Bye.

7:21 am

7:25 am
EvaNadine

i atually read an article that compared your state of mind first thing in the morning to being drunk (in terms of motor skills + stuff like that)
and it said that for up to 2 hours after waking up, you may be functioning with the same judgment and abilities as if you were intoxicated...
7:25 am

...just been hanging around the bottom right N ; )
7:27 am

i'd believe it, i ready about a study that was being done on people that worked nightshift to see how they function etc, some had to take 20 min naps it will be interesting to try and find that in a bit and see what became of it..

It posted about four down, but when you're desperate, you can find things I guess! Thanks for the help Hursh.

I thought the grid was fairly easy today. Not a bunch of "butthead" words, either that or I've used them all so many times they are easy to spot!

Bab's telling the truth! I've been in here in the middle of the night, day, morning and afternoon, and she's here. You might need some rest!

have you tried anything for it - right now i'm on klonopin. once it gets you back in rhythm, then you can go off it and stay in rhythm (in theory)
12:04 pm
Babbler

see you later, Lola : )
I'll look after your stash of chocolate, don't worry!
12:04 pm
bunnyvicious

It's not so much sleeping, it's dreaming. I'm prone to nightmares I can't tell from reality, so I tend to average about 3-4 hours nightly...don't know if you'd call that insomnia or psychotic...
12:05 pm
Babbler

hursh, thanks. :) tried just about everything. I'm funny about meds, though, I don't react well. I get all the side-effects and none of the benefits, so they're not worth it.
12:05 pm
mab

Bye Lola!

Poor Bunny! I think that qualifies as a sleep disorder.
12:05 pm
hurshy

gosh, bunny, i have really bad nightmares occasionally too, but not that often - even so i started going to a therapist to see if i could get rid of them (haven't had any in quite a while, actually)
12:05 pm

There's always whiskey!
12:06 pm

I woke up from a bad dream today, bunny, after about one hour or 1.5 hours. Can't remember it now... : /
12:06 pm
Babbler

bunny, what are your nightmares like? chases?
12:07 pm
bunnyvicious

I dream about wrecking the car with the kids in , my husband leaving me , fire...you name it. I don't want to sound like a sicko, but usually it's about something happening to my children.

The worst part is my inability to do anything about what is happening in the dream...

do they reflect your anxieties in real life at all, bunny?

bad dreams??? i am a bad dream!!! sorry you guys are having bad dreams....have you tried the herbs valerian and st john's wort???? 8)
12:09 pm
hurshy

mine are always about extreme cruelty. someone intentionally torturing me and enjoying it, who won't stop no matter how much i beg. and i've never had any traumatic experiences that would explain why i would dream things like that.
12:09 pm
Munner

bunny, I was talking to my daughter-in-law yesterday and told told her I wondered if I'm normal obsessing and worrying so much about my grandchildren. It's even worse than with my own children when they were little. God bless you!
12:09 pm
bunnyvicious

I don't feel like a nervous wreck. This point in our lives is the best it's ever been, we are really on track. But, I'm also not working for the first time sibnce I was 14....

thanks babbler - i just wrote the name on it....8)
12:11 pm
Babbler

hurshy, might sound daft, but are you kind to yourself? or your own worst enemy? It's funny how corny dream messages are sometimes.
12:12 pm
bunnyvicious

I'm VERY over-protective of my kids!

Stephen wants me to get on meds so I sleep better, but I've tried so many and I don't like them, they affect the way I am when I'm awake, like my ability to get angry (which he likes). It's healthy to vent!
12:12 pm

Hi Ren!!!
cute icon!!!!! it's PERFECT!!!
12:12 pm

Melatonin is what I use to help me sleep (in addition to trazodone)... melatonin can actually be found in the natural herbs/vits section of any grocery store. Works wonders!!!
12:12 pm
hurshy

what do you mean, exactly, babbler?
12:12 pm
Babbler

bunny, you know why you're having your dreams, don't you? I hope they go away soon.
12:12 pm

<looking at marble>, think I mis-understood the assignment!

I've also had melatonin and found it realy helped my sleep

hey smaller - how's the birthday girl? lots of presents????
12:13 pm
hurshy

today's baby shower day - marble day is...tomorrow?
12:13 pm
Jen

Bunny, I have had insomnia since I was a kid (yes, even at the tender age of 5, I remember not being able to sleep!)... a small dose of trazodone (I'm on 100mg at bedtime) does the trick with no sleeping-pill side-effects.
12:14 pm
bunnyvicious

Yup, I'm slobbering, run down the road naked covered in strawberry jam, talk to dead people crazy, and lovin it!
12:14 pm

Doing GREAT!!! Loads of presents. The best kind of presents: wonderful sentiments and wishes. And thank you to you for yours!!!
12:14 pm
Atalante

I'm just going to jump in with both feet and ask for advice - I'm staring at the grid and doing nothing thinking about this. And as we're already on the subject of bad dreams and nasty things ... my mother-in-law died last weekend and her funeral is on friday. fine. but now Ive just found out my best best best friend / sister has an emergency operation on Friday and she'll be on her own going into hospital / waking up, cos her mother is also in hospital (a different hospital!). Which one should I go to? Funeral or hospital care? *sigh*
12:14 pm
Babbler

hurshy, (without sounding like I know everything, cos I don't! so please ignore if it doesn't apply), I was referring back to when I had similar dreams and I noticed I wasn't always my own best friend in real life. A lot of old recurring nightmares have gone since I started being kinder and more forgiving of myself. That's what I meant. : )
12:14 pm
Babbler

lol!! bunny, stop it!! :D
12:15 pm
Babbler

Atalante, you're the only one who can make that decision. Would it be possible to go to both places in one day?
12:16 pm
bunnyvicious

Atla, rough choice! If it were me, I'd go to the hospital. I think the deceased relative would understand, and you can grieve for her no matter where you are...
12:16 pm
Trotters

Just popped in to say hello and bye! Bunny, thankyou so much, I had about 34 to go and without your list I couldn't have done it. What a pain for the middle of the week. It was a bit like the old days though and I used lots of other lists posted in the log. Thanks all.
12:16 pm
Babbler

Melatonin is a banned substance in the UK! Can you believe it?? You used to be able to buy it. (not that it worked on me anyway).
12:16 pm
mab

I'm sorry, Atalante - how stressful. I think I'd go to my friend if my husband could manage on his own.
12:17 pm
Atalante

no *sigh* she'll be waking up from the op at about the same time as the funeral starts and the two places are about 2 hours apart!
12:17 pm
bunnyvicious

But, that's just me. Bab's right, do what you feel is best!
12:17 pm
hurshy

well babs, i have been trying what you say, and haven't had any in a while, so maybe you are right!
12:17 pm
Tigereye

Melatonin's available on prescription in the Uk. I had it for several months
12:18 pm
Babbler

Tigereye, you're kidding!!?? I asked my GP for it, and she checked her big book and said it wasn't available! :'(
12:18 pm
Atalante

I want to go to the hospital - I feel as if I'd be more use there - I was just wondering whether that was a really "bad" thing to do!
12:18 pm
Jen

No way! Banned? And you guys have all these freaky over-the-counter deoderants that you can only get by script here that actually stop you from creating sweat! (I know, because I stocked up when I was over there last)
12:18 pm
Tigereye

I got prescribed it from my GP at the hospital last summer
12:19 pm
smaller

atalante...
so sorry for you to have to make that choice.
i'd have to agree with the others and choose the friend.
12:19 pm
bunnyvicious

Hmmm, I'm iffy on meds (especially herbal, and especially if I just have to take them because my brain is on melt down!). I't expensive. The only time I've really budged is in labor.
I went in saying all natural. YEAH, RIGHT!
12:20 pm
mab

It's the right thing to do, then Atalante. Truly, the living are who need us. And it is so awful to be alone in the hospital. I don't think you should feel badly at all.
12:20 pm
Babbler

Atalante, follow your instincts. (and go see your friend, I think).
12:20 pm
Jen

Boots Pharmacy also has a product called "Calms" that I have used for myself, as well as a very small dose to help my cat when travelling overseas... not as good as melatonin, but not bad.
12:21 pm
bunnyvicious

Maybe shortly after, you could go to the gravesite with your husband alone...
12:21 pm
renfield

atalante...i agree w/ mab...if your husband is strong enough to handle the funeral, then i would care for the living....ask who needs you the most????? don't put yourelf in a guilt ridden position....
12:21 pm
Atalante

thank you everyone! *hugs* I feel a bit better about doing what I immediately wanted to do - ie go to the hospital!

I'm sure I've tried 'Calms'. I had a bad experience with an over-the-counter sleeping tablet once. I didn't take it with water, and my tongue swelled up and I couldn't breathe. So I thought, right if this is it, I'm having a cigarette! And that took the swelling away. Scary moment. :(
12:22 pm
bunnyvicious

Jen? You dope your cat when traveling?
12:22 pm
mab

I am a lifelong insomniac also. I take klonopin and benedryl together for sleep. If I don't sleep, I get the black dogs.
12:22 pm
Babbler

bunny's right, Atalante, you can visit with your husband later. :)
12:22 pm
Atalante

just a warning - dont take calms or anything with st john's wort in if you're already on antidepressants of any prescribed kind - can make everything go very very wrong!
12:23 pm
Babbler

I know all about the black dogs, Mab :(
12:23 pm
renfield

i take children's benedryl and xanex..i stayed awake for 6 weeks once....arghhhhh was i a green meanie or what???
12:24 pm
Jen

I did when we moved from VA to SPain... it was a veeeery long MAC (military) flight... something like 13 hours without being able to come out of her kennel; the vet actually told us to do it.
12:24 pm
Babbler

I stick to yoga breathing and music at the minute. Lavendar seems to stimulate my mind too much. I do the 'in for 3, hold for 3, out for 6' breathing technique. Then there's always sudoku....
12:24 pm
swmbo

Quick hello! Snowed in today, so i am actually able the Babble YEAY! It is so long, I am sure no one remembers me, but I do recognise quite a few names.
12:24 pm

I just pictured you with kitty tucked under your arm on a boat deck, slipping valium into a tiny kitty martini!
12:25 pm

afternoon all -- been buried under a pile of work all day!!

HEEEEEEEEY SWMBO! Long time no see! How you doin'? :)
12:25 pm

I remember you, Swimmy!!! Hiya!! :D
12:25 pm

Hello Eva and swmbo!
12:25 pm

not remember you swmbo....that's like not remembering rumpole!!!!
12:26 pm
mab

Swimmy! How nice to see you!
12:26 pm
Babbler

just gotta empty the washing machine..... brb..... :)
12:26 pm
Jen

Bunny, that's a very funny picture, but alas, no. MAC flights are what we call the "cattle hauler" meaning they cram about 7 more rows of seats into a regular 747 (ergo no leg room or ability to lean back), tons of screaming kids, and all animals have to go below.
12:27 pm
bunnyvicious

oh yeah, there's a house around me.....mine has one of those, forgot how to ue it...
12:28 pm
swmbo

Like not remembering Rumpole??? That is one of the nicest thinsg anyone has said to me lately!!! I hjave been well, but very busy. This blizzard is a welcome rest LOL

What is new in Babbleland? I know greywoulf has a new babay because I posted the pix for him. What else?
12:28 pm
mab

I think I have tried everything, but cannot control black dogs without real meds, and even then am prone to relapse. I am resigned to the fact.
12:28 pm
bunnyvicious

sounds yucky, too bad the screaming kids can't go below...
I remember when the news here was covering how animals got treated in cargo holds on planes. It was horrible!
12:29 pm
bunnyvicious

hmmm, it's smallers b-day....
and we're all crazy insomniacs!

Sums it up.
12:30 pm
Jen

The people that load the planes are AF airmen, so they aren't as bad as regular civvie baggage loaders. I actually got very used to the MAC flights when I was over there... flew to Siciliy and Italy about every other month for shopping/eating. But you are right about the kids... I think they needed heavy sedation! Not even our stash of on-board liquor helped us cope!
12:30 pm
bunnyvicious

Mab..black dogs? Bags under eyes?
12:31 pm
Babbler

Mab, I'm trying to control black dogs without meds. So far so good..... though I have a whole myriad of coping techniques! lol! : )
12:32 pm
mab

Ren, you remind me of my manic patients who would walk the hospital halls with their eyes closed -- they were so tired, but their brains woud not let them rest. Some would be so snowed with meds and still moving, poor things.
12:32 pm
Atalante

and I got pretty much ordered to start taking meds a few years ago - and I'm soooo grateful I did!
12:33 pm
bunnyvicious

I flew with my three before I had the twins, they were all under 6. People walked by us when the flight landed and commented on how well behaved they were, that they didn't even know I had children with me, and then glanced at the screamers in the front of the plane. Some parents! I could see a child under two behaving noisily, but these kids were 8, 9!
12:33 pm
Jen

My Crohn's Disease maintenece meds don't help my sleep out at all... I have one I take in the morning that if I forget and take it after 10AM, I can't get to sleep!
12:35 pm
Atalante

Jen - the friend I was talking about before - her op is her latest Crohn's related op. Horrid disease
12:35 pm
Babbler

Ren, I've never stayed awake for as long as 6 weeks!! Goodness me! 2 days seems to be my max.
12:35 pm
pbr

any help for the (re6/21, re7/32) and the last re6/21
12:36 pm
mab

I don't take anything for Crohn's. I don't think it helps me at all. But then I've been avoiding gastroenterologists for several years; I should probably check in to see if they've come up with something new.
12:37 pm
bunnyvicious

re 6/21 re + wear on foot
re 7/32 re + use a gun
re 7/32 re + they ****** the light in her eyes
12:37 pm
Atalante

if you can manage without Crohn's meds - go for it! Think yourself lucky and stay away from doctors LOL!
12:37 pm
Babbler

re6/21 - re + footwear
re7/32 - re + lit?
re6/21 - re - make the film all over again?
12:38 pm
mab

Oh, Atalante, that's awful. I've had a Crohn's related surgery, and it's pretty rough. I think your friend could really use your support.
12:38 pm
bunnyvicious

brb, i forgot to put the brisket in the oven!!!
12:40 pm
Atalante

she tends to end up in hospital every few months with various Crohn's side-effects and stuff. How she manages, I will never ever know
12:40 pm
pbr

Thanks for the help -- got em all!!..well the re's
12:41 pm
bunnyvicious

Kind of off topic, but has anyone had their gall bladder removed?
12:41 pm
deef

i'm a new "pro" and i welcome advice on how to not be addicted to this game.
grin
12:42 pm
mab

Atalante, I've learned which foods to which I'm allergic, and that has made all the difference. I still have emergency partial obstructions, but I know that if I can get to the emergency room, the pain meds will stop the escalation. Then I go home to recuperate.
12:42 pm
Tigereye

How to not get adddicted? Don't start playing ever
12:42 pm
bunnyvicious

Other than don't play? Sorry....
12:42 pm
Jen

Oh Atl!!! I pray for her! It's awful! I have been lucky... I have moderate/severe Crohn's but have not had to have (knock wood) surgery. When I have a flare up, I used to take prednisone, but am now prednisone resistant; luckily haven't had a flare-up (knock wood again!) in over a year so the imuran (thank God I don't want more kids!) and the Pentasa (17 of the pills a day!!) must be working.
12:42 pm
Deutsch

Hi everyone,
I've not had mine removed but a friend and my mother had there's removed.
12:42 pm
EvaNadine

i think the only way to NOT get addicted to the game is to not play...hehe

or else create a mental rule that once starting a puzzle, you MUST finish it -- thats prevented several babblers from becoming TOO addicted...
12:43 pm
bunnyvicious

I was only wondering, my husband had his out about a year and a half ago, but he is still having pains like when it was there. He's one of those "won't go to the doctor unless I pass out and you drag me" types.

I was wondering what could be causing the pain?
12:44 pm
Jen

evaN, that's how I play it... if I start, I have to finish. Ergo, I don't do the 300+ puzzles! :)
12:44 pm
EvaNadine

my dad had his out a few years ago...doesnt have those pains anymore...
12:45 pm
Atalante

mab and jen - I feel for you both! Its funny, my friend's actual classic Crohn's isn't *too* bad, but the side-effects she has that involve her immune system are just scary. In the last 2 or 3 years, she's had her bladder removed, had her jaw reconstructed twice, had a hysterectomy and just recently had a double mastectomy, all due to immune system issues related to the Crohn's. Now you can see why I want to be there with her!!!
12:45 pm
bunnyvicious

I thought maybe they missed a stone or scar tissue...

His mom has him convinced he's growing a new one (don't get me started on the in-laws).
12:46 pm
EvaNadine

jen -- i used to have that rule, but then id end up stressing myself out about it!
id pass my work off onto others so i could finish babble!!

then i remembered one day that the whole reason i even started babbling was to de-stress when i was at work...now i just play and i finish i finish...most days i dont...
12:46 pm
Atalante

growing a new one?!! *blinks*
12:46 pm
bunnyvicious

That's horrible. I don't know anything about Crohne's, but that is just awful....
12:47 pm
mab

I'm so sorry for your friend, At! That sounds dreadful.
12:48 pm
bunnyvicious

Yup, she used to be a nurse, so he listens to her.
I was pregnant with Eycsis when I was 16, some of the stuff she told me had me in tears when I went into labor.
12:49 pm
Jen

I haven't had too many side effects from the Crohn's except retina swelling (which made contacts impossible for about 5 years) and thinning hair. The thing that kills me about GI's is that 3/4s of the time their "necessary" surgeries are not necessary! Nothing cures Crohn's and the only thing you should do the GI surgeries for is if you have stomas, blockages, etc. removing part of a bad gut ain't gonna cure it.

Sorry... I rant a lot about Crohn's! :)
12:49 pm
mab

Growing a new gallbladder? Bunny, is your husband a starfish by any chance?
12:50 pm
bunnyvicious

Yes, I know, awful young to be having a baby...
12:50 pm
EvaNadine

since i dont know much...
is Crohns something youre born with or something you develop?
i dont think i know anyone with it, but it sounds pretty common if you read this chatlog!
12:50 pm
bunnyvicious

If he were, I'd cut him in half and grow two! Woo hoo!
Nope, just has an "eccentric" mother.
12:51 pm
mab

Oh, yes, Jen. They always want to jump to the scalpel!
12:51 pm

12:52 pm

ok, how can "poos" not be a word??
i know people who do it every day!!
12:52 pm
bunnyvicious

slang for poop....
dunno Eva!
12:53 pm
Jen

evaN, no one knows how you get it, and that's why they haven't found a cure. Some evidence shows that breast-feeding helps protect, some races are more susceptible (eastern-Eur Jews for one)... no one knows where I inherited mine. Although it first showed up after a VERY stressful event ( death of my grandmother/best friend and a solo trip to Europe)
12:53 pm
mab

Put an h on the end, eva.
12:53 pm
tbear

and why CAN you have Winnie the *****?
12:55 pm
Atalante

well I rant a lot about Crohn's, Jen, and I dont even have it! As far as I know, there is a genetic component - at least in some cases, otherwise, who knows - I guess as with anything immune system based, any time of big stress could cause problems
12:55 pm
EvaNadine

frightening the things your body can do to itself for seemingly no reason...
the mom of one of the girls i teach has had a year or so + somewhat unexplainable health problems + it sounds like they now have an explaination...for instance, id guess shes about 30-35 and had a series of strokes out of the blue!
12:56 pm
Jen

That's why I am part of CCFA (Crohn's Colitis Foundation of America)... they do a lot of lobbying for research.
12:56 pm
Ouwachita

1 to go...the sh4/5 after the sh8/45...HELP!!!!!!!
12:57 pm
mab

It is a mysterious auto-immune thing - one's body just turns on itself. Thus the other problems. I have arthritis (which I treat with yoga) and a few other relatively minor surprises. No cure. Cut and it just comes back. Damned annoying.
12:57 pm
EvaNadine

Ouwachita -- this is probably the wrong one since i still have lots of Ses to go, but the one ive got right after the 8 is what you wear on your foot
12:59 pm
Babbler

I think Crohns is genetic too. I knew a girl who had it and was being treated for it after it flared up. She had a twin who had no symptoms, but she had to go for check ups and treatment too. If I remember rightly, she had it too.
12:59 pm
Ouwachita

evan...I typed that several times and it didnt show up...thanks for the help

smaller, it's a pl of the tr5 before it. It means "walks on" (or it what you have on the bottom of your gym shoes)

And tejani, no, I honestly can't agree that PSU is better. I mean c'mon. They were ranked like 20 higher than FSU and favored by 24 points in the game and yet, it took 3 overtimes to BARELY beat FSU? Can we say "overranked"?

He's working on some huge project with the Navy (his former employer), but I have no idea what (story of my life, since he used to be intelligence) and he's gone till the end of June... hence my going home to my parents house for a month, periodic bouts of depression (missing of the hubby), and frustration with my son (who has never had to deal with Daddy being away). Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement! I may call upon you again.

Hey, snowyowl, I'm with you! I decided for this year, at least to start ("resolution" = bad word!) I would only tackle puzzles of 150 words or fewer.

I had a vision today - this afternoon, I think around 2:00 ET, Dr_God appeared in the chat log!

6:59 pm

...but if I WAS doing the grid, I'd wish there was an "s" closer to the "p"

Okay, I have to stop now to make dinner (& watch American Idol, guilty secret: love that show!). I'll check in later. Hope you make it, snowy! See you later, ren, Charm, Seth, & mrpres.

cybernan: there is the way a lot of people pronounce the word meaning a fencing implement (without the w, that is), and then one can use a different cons for another word.

GreyWoulf

Hi all, just checking in for the evening -- no time or energy today to tackle one this size :)
9:58 pm
mab

I can imagine, GW. It's a hideous grid anyway.
9:59 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: Welcome. You have a newborn, you need to change diapers and such. Hi Tho.
9:59 pm
GreyWoulf

So I have gathered from the chat, mab
10:00 pm
GreyWoulf

JoJo -- too true, though the worst is adapting to the new overnight routine
10:02 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: At least you are doing the middle of the night thing. In my day, I did it all night, and also all day. So, Kirsten is lucky to have a man sharing the baby responsibilities.
10:03 pm
SummerBreeze44

GW--congratulations to you and your family. The pictures are beautiful.
10:05 pm
GreyWoulf

Thank you Summer :)

JoJo -- unfortuanately, in a couple of weeks I won't be able to when I start my new job -- but at least she should be recovered from the surgery by then
10:06 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: Yes, she should be recovered a bit by then. What new job do you have in the future?
10:09 pm
GreyWoulf

JoJo - Working for a battery company in the repair department -- will give me a stable Mon - Fri schedule, and I will be able to keep Lenscrafter's on the weekend -- so I should be able to finally catch up on some bills
10:10 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: Good for you. I'm proud of you.
10:11 pm

Thanks, JoJo

that is really a cool picture wolfie of sebastian and you!! gettng him started early i see!!!
10:17 pm
GreyWoulf

But of course, ren :D
10:19 pm
GreyWoulf

slow response time is due to him resting on my left arm as we chat ;)
10:20 pm
renfield

hahaha wolfie...wait until those little fingers start helping you type!!!!
10:20 pm
kristinc

GW...just arrived. What neat pictures--a great family you have on your hands!
10:21 pm
GreyWoulf

I am looking forward to it, ren -- if he is anything like speedfreak sam, I will consider myself to have done it right! :D
10:22 pm
renfield

that's right!!! just think 2nd generation babblers....wow
10:25 pm
GreyWoulf

ren - scary concept, huh? Here's to hoping the grid is still here when he is ready to start :)
10:28 pm
renfield

really scary...the thought process is almost surreal....in fact it may be processed though thoughts....
10:30 pm
GreyWoulf

The scariest concept that it represents to me is that I never used to think in terms of years in the future before now -- I always tended to think in terms of NOW and nothing more
10:32 pm
JBsAnno

Hey, GW!

We had a divine visit from Dr_God this afternoon, he is working on a new puzzle...involving letters and sudoku...

So maybe that will be Sebastian's gig!
10:32 pm
JBsAnno

ren, take a real close look at the baby face in the crib in my icon, and see if you can see what it really is...
10:33 pm
GreyWoulf

I actually saw that when I was scrolling back to see Jac's icon in honor of me today, JB -- it definitely sounds promising :)
10:33 pm
JBsAnno

Now you're thinking, G!

I'm thinking too, I'd be crazy to start this puzzle ANY time today!
10:33 pm
mab

It's such an awesome prospect, raising a child. Happens a gazillion times, but still awe-inspiring.
10:34 pm
JBsAnno

GW, if that's you in the chair, with Sebastian on your arm, is that Kristen on screen?
10:34 pm
GreyWoulf

mab -- I think that is why it hasn't gone out of style yet ;)

JB -- I definitely didn't touch it today -- I am just here for the chat --- after all it would have been bad manners to miss my own shower ;D
10:36 pm
JBsAnno

Just don't get wet, Woulfie, (from the shower) <groan>
10:36 pm
renfield

no way am i going to start this puppy....i'm barely sitting up as i is....8)
jb - is that a little yellow puddy tat???...cute...i love your kitty kats!!
10:36 pm
JBsAnno

Hi, JoJo!
Ready for the big game?
10:36 pm
GreyWoulf

JB -- no, my icon is the same pic as was posted for me on BabAnon by swmbo -- the screen is the Babble board in honor of all my fellow Babbleonians :)
10:37 pm
JBsAnno

Got it in one, ren!! Google is good to me.

My real kitties are becoming very vocal and physical in their demand for FOOD RIGHT NOW!
10:37 pm
renfield

wolfie - that is a very artistic photo! compliments to the models and the photog
10:38 pm

Ren -- I love the footprints BTW -- thanks


Oh and (*HUGS*) to everyone for all the support you have provided through everything!
10:38 pm
JoJoFunLvg

JB: You bet, got my flags on my car, and a Seahawks shirt. Ready to roll. All of Seattle is, no matter what the media thinks of all us up here, we are all hyped.
10:38 pm
JBsAnno

Thanks, G - my eyes are all squinty and fuzzy from staring at my computer all day at work, doing work!
Let me just say that the process to get new residents into the hospitals involves lots of copy and paste!
10:39 pm
renfield

hi jojo!!! i like the commercials and i'm wearing a swiss flag!!
10:40 pm
JBsAnno

Huh, JoJo, and you'd think it was the coffee!

I can see the flags now....

Oh, please tell me there's a special coffee for the 'Hawks - that would be perfect, in Seattle!
10:40 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Ren: You got me on that one. What is a Swiss Flag?
10:40 pm
kristinc

JoJo...you're a diehard. I love it! I got my husband a Seahawks shirt to wear on Sunday morning...should be fun! This is the first time I'm actually excited about the superbowl.
10:40 pm

jojo.....neutrality...8)
10:41 pm
JBsAnno

But, have some Seahawks coffee, hmm, ren?
10:42 pm
renfield

jb - ok you got me on that one...is that starbucks?
10:43 pm
JBsAnno

ren, From a previous post to JoJo, I thought it would be cool if they named a special coffee blend for the team in Seattle.
You could drink coffee and still be neutral, right?
10:44 pm
mab

Really, ren, you ought to have done the puzzle. There are two good yiddishkeit words, and one ethnic slur that means Jews.
10:45 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Ren: Boo. We are the underdogs, u have to support the under dog, right?
JB: Yes, probably is a Seahawks coffee at Starbucks. We have a Starbucks on every corner, you know. But I haven't heard about it.
Kristinc: Go Seahawks!!

10:45 pm
renfield

oh - i thought since starbucks started in wa that perhaps they had a new coffee
10:46 pm
renfield

oh no mab...i see the slur - top right hand corner...
10:46 pm
JoJoFunLvg

Ren: Probably, but I haven't heard of it. You know Shultz, he owns the Sonics not the Seahawks!
10:50 pm
renfield

did ya'll name a coffee? like jojo's go jo? or sea hawk's boost or jojo's sea hawk's go jo?...i'm so tired i may get silly....8)
10:54 pm

Ren: I am a nobody. Shulltz (Starbucks owner and Sonics owner) wouldn't name anything after me.
10:54 pm

Good to see you all, but must go now.

10:57 pm
