my daughter has said she wants a ta 6/18!
2:57 am
sprite

oo4 :)
And how old is she?
2:58 am
MVA

18
2:58 am
sprite

ai! That is not easy then... I think you'd rather have she waited a few more years. But will she?
2:59 am
MVA

she knows her own mind and can be stubborn!!
3:00 am
Andree

at 18, what can you do?
3:00 am
sprite

I bet! I really hope she will wait a little longer... and if she does not, she will pick one small and truly HER, and not some adolescent thing.
3:01 am
MVA

she has been teasing me and looking on the computer for pictures with huge ta7/28!!!
3:01 am
MVA

well i hope she's teasing!!
3:02 am
sprite

omg, LOL, I hope so too! Well, you can tell her from me, if it is really the ta6 she wants, it will be the same one over a few years and nothing is lost with waiting.
3:02 am
Andree

when i was nursing many moons ago, we had a plastic surgery unit where 1/2 the patients were young kids trying to get tattoos removed from hands and obvious places to get a job, i think things have moved on since but she should get a nice subtle butterfly or simmilar on ankle or shoulder etc
3:03 am
MVA

at 18 i can do nothing because she is an adult, i can't say NO can i?
3:03 am
Atalante

friends tattooist's advice: print out pic that she wants, stick it to bathroom mirror. if she can look at it every day for a year and still want it, then go ahead
3:03 am
Andree

not somewhere she cannot hide it from a prospective employer
3:03 am
sprite

I know a daughter of a friend of mine, who was so totally certain she wanted a ta6 that her mother allowed it at 14. But I must add that she had picked a very subtle small rosebud, and she wanted it on her shoulderblade.
3:04 am
MVA

good idea ata!
3:04 am
Andree

good advice ata
3:04 am
sprite

very good advice!
3:04 am
Andree

shoulder blade is good
3:04 am
sprite

no, you cannot tell her no, but you can talk :)
And hope she will take your words with her when she decides.
3:05 am
Atalante

makes you realise that it'll be there for ever! and that you can't get sick of it
3:05 am
sprite

the girl never ever regretted it, nor did my friend for allowing it. But it is a real exception.
3:05 am
MVA

going to make breakfast now, thanks for the advice, bbl .... and we do talk sprite which is good
3:06 am
sprite

I was over 30 when I got my first one. And only one so far, although my beautiful friend Ata has designed the next one, which is almost ready... and will be continued once I have refound myself. :D
3:06 am
Atalante

3:06 am

*hugs MVA*
You are a great mum and she knows it... I bet your advice has more weight than you realise ;)
3:06 am
MVA

i've always wanted a ta6/18 but my husband hates them!!
3:07 am
sprite

oh, that is a shame! They can be so beautiful!
3:07 am
sprite

but I admit I have seen more ugly ones than beauties :D
3:07 am
MVA

i know!
3:07 am
Atalante

well thats good cos your daughter will know you aren't anti them, just making sure she does it right
3:08 am
MVA

she will, she looks at things in detail then decides... off now, bye all
3:08 am
sprite

it is a very important choice... there is no way to get rid of it ever again. Not even with laser or plastic surgery... there will always be something left that reminds you of it.
3:09 am
sprite

bye MVA!
3:11 am
sprite

owwww I found my last P and it is edible and I am proud I found it myself :D
That is another word I never seem to sp4.

3:13 am
sprite

it might be one of those ocean words for you as well, Ata... those words that are so obvious and yet they always seem to hide from our view :D
3:13 am
Atalante

I think so!

Hello Fran. I was so sorry to hear about your sister. Thought of you often. How are you?
3:49 am
FranMag

i'm doing fine Frances. :-) she really is in a better place, i don't have to worry about her anymore.
3:51 am
Frances

I know. We always worry about those far away. Did I also hear that there was an earthquake in or near Guam?
3:52 am
FranMag

it must not have been a big one, Guam has earthquakes daily. i felt one that had to be about 4.0 on my first day back there.
3:53 am
FranMag

oh wait, i did hear about that one. it happened while my sister and i were driving around so we didn't feel it.
3:53 am
FranMag

like i said, they are a daily occurence and people there just take them in stride.
3:53 am
Frances

I thought I heard that it was about 7.4
3:54 am
FranMag

wow, that's pretty big, the center must have been pretty far.
3:55 am
FranMag

i was in Guam for the 8.1, now that was scary.
3:56 am
Frances

Never been in an earthquake. Was caught in a typhoon in Hong Kong years ago. My son who was about seven at the time was horizontal hanging onto a flagpole on the roof of the hotel (swimming pool). Very scary!
3:57 am
FranMag

wow! that would have been terrifying! at his age though he probably thought it was a little fun too?
3:58 am
FranMag

i can't believe they didn't get you all inside before the storm hit!
3:58 am
Frances

Best talking point for months for him.
3:59 am
FranMag

i'm sure!
3:59 am
Frances

We were a bit surprised at how quickly it hit and yes, it was very frightening.
4:01 am

these days the weather models are so accurate, i would be surprised if that kind of thing happened anymore...at least for typhoons.

LoriP

We've had 2 frosts. Here it is a week of October gone already.

8:00 am
NonoNanette

calling for upper 70's today
8:00 am
NonoNanette

80's again mid week
8:04 am
LoriP

Really, this whole global warming thing is fine with me. I don't think it's that so much as calendar shift LOL this year is following the path like last year. January is historically a brutal month here, that happened in February instead. I find everything is a month late
8:06 am
NonoNanette

yes we never had snow last year til late January but got hit with a brutal storm in February
8:06 am
NonoNanette

even that was all melted in nearly a week
8:08 am
LoriP

January is our traditional school cancellation month. January, 1 day off. February 10. each one totally correct. Even if they had school I would not have sent the kids. It was a brutal weather month, as I say 1 month behind.
8:09 am
Scarlet

Good morning, Nono and LoriP. Still no monster grid... but I am still in the "duck mode" when it comes... or, is that wishful thinking? LOL
8:09 am
NonoNanette

G'morning Scarlet
8:10 am

How are you today, Nono? This grid looks like a zoomer.

8:14 am
toadandtoadette

having contractions. cervix is open and 1/2 effaced... may have a new babbler in a few days. using babble right now to distract me
8:15 am
Scarlet

I love those Bears, Lor... but the Cubbies took me to the altar and left before the ceremony! *Sob*... Not the year for my guys... the Mets died, so it will have to be...........OHMIGOSH, T&T, you are on the way!! :-)
8:15 am
NonoNanette

woohooo t&t
8:16 am
toadandtoadette

sorry 1/3 effaced.. not half
8:16 am
LoriP

That's a good start t&t. :-)
8:16 am
toadandtoadette

have been able to talk to husband 2 times already. he's suppose to try to call again tonight if he can
8:16 am
LoriP

Yah Scarlet, the Cubbies are back on golf mode.....
8:17 am
Scarlet

And crying all winter long... so are the cursed Phillies... they couldn't take ONE game? Bah!
8:17 am
NonoNanette

oh good you have been in contact with him.... Is your mom there now?
8:17 am
toadandtoadette

why isn't poos a word?
8:17 am
LoriP

#3 is now a confirmed Bears fan. He can't wait for the game.
8:17 am
Scarlet

'Cause the little tadpole won't let it be!
8:17 am
toadandtoadette

lol
8:18 am
Scarlet

I am a Kansas City Chief's fan, Lor, but have always loved the Bears... Walter Payton is, and will always be, my favorite player of all time!
8:18 am
LoriP

I tried poos. As a Mom of 4, I fully believe it to be a word!
8:19 am
toadandtoadette

No they will be here in a week, Nono
8:19 am
LoriP

Well, #3 is in for a lifetime of pain and suffering until the Bears get a QB. Also he's in a house full of Pats fans. LOL
8:20 am
lizmac

Got my video...It's seriously aaaaaahhhh.
8:20 am
Scarlet

You can't help but admire New England, Lor... they always find a way to win, and Brady is still young, yet. As for the Bears, Sexy Rexy Gross-MAN really bit!
8:20 am
toadandtoadette

gj liz
8:21 am
NonoNanette

Bears only slightly better than my team..... The Bills
8:21 am
NonoNanette

showed signs of hope last week with new QB
8:22 am
LoriP

Scarlet, a good friend of ours calls him Wrecks Grossman, and with good reason.
8:22 am
Scarlet

OH, Nono... you and Tim Russert still love their guys...
8:22 am
Scarlet

Good play, Lor... LOL... Marv Levy is now the elder statesman...
8:23 am
LoriP

Brady is the man. The guy is cool as a cuke, with guys behind him allowing him to make things happen. The Pats are a cohesive group. A real team.
8:23 am
Scarlet

AND Randy Moss don't hurt a bit, do he? LOL
8:24 am
NonoNanette

was tough thru the years of bringing up my boys... neiter of them like the Bills..... one is a Steeler guy and the other a Cowboy
8:24 am
toadandtoadette

wahoo my names in the grid for the 3rd time in a row
8:24 am
NonoNanette

we are a very diverse household LOL
8:25 am
NonoNanette

yep noticed that right off the bat t&t
8:25 am
LoriP

I've noticed in the post game stuff, Brady always spreads credit. that is so important. he always says something like "so and so did X, to allow Y to happen".
8:25 am
Scarlet

We lived in Pennsylvania for years, and were bombarded with the &%#@( Eagles.... I never felt any passion for them... but, the Steelers, on the other hand, gave us some great years. I am surrounded with 'Boy's fans... I hated what they did to Tom Landry, and will never forgive them for that.
8:25 am
LoriP

Nono, must be interesting kerfuffles in your house from time to time.....
8:26 am
NonoNanette

for sure Lori
8:26 am
NonoNanette

am sooooo jealous my son is going to the Bills, Cowboys game tomorrow night
8:27 am
NonoNanette

would you believe its the Steeler fan thats going LOL
8:28 am
Scarlet

Yerchhhh... and I thought there was justice in this universe! Lucky person!
8:29 am
toadandtoadette

NFL trivia, who is the most popular team, and who is the least popular team... currently that is
8:29 am
Scarlet

Re: Brady, Lori... that's a true leader, with what Brady does... we need more of that, and in spite of the video scandal, I think Belichek is one of the greatest coaches out there.
8:30 am
LoriP

Miami Dolphins receive major 12 thumbs down boos in this house.....
8:30 am
Scarlet

T&T, the Cowboys continue to beat their own drum every year, but now, since the Super Bowl ring, it's probably the Indianapolis Colts... I suffer from extreme Peyton Manning fatigue...
8:30 am
toadandtoadette

nope your right Scarlet, its the cowboys as #1
8:31 am
LoriP

I agree Scarlet. Belichek builds teams, in the true team sense. The video thing, all teams do it, just liek stealing signals in baseball. Pats got caught
8:31 am
Scarlet

The Dolphins are hideous, and I really had a problem with Nick Saban... he's gone now to Alabama for college coaching!
8:31 am
NonoNanette

Cowboys have been toted as Americas Team for like forever
8:32 am
dan2bit

ick Cowboys
8:32 am
NonoNanette

what is the least favorite team t&t?
8:32 am
LoriP

Gads. I am so sick of peyton Manning and his simpering, sniveling ways I could gag. Cowboys, the NY Yankees of football, everybody loves to hate 'em....
8:32 am

2:29 pm
Dorens

2:29 pm

rum and honey tastes good, is soothing, but ultimately, if you need antibiotics, you need antibiotics, fmitch. as you know
2:30 pm
chic

I can't get past Chapt 2; I keep falling asleep reading it.....
2:30 pm
Haz1558

I can sympathise, FMitch - I used to get strep throats and they're not pleasant company. I couldn't believe how many times I swallow - it's only when it's painful that you realise!
2:30 pm
Dorens

not surprised.... thought it might be that kind of book.. I like those books for when I can't sleep
2:30 pm
Haz1558

Which miserable book are you recommending(?), chic?
2:31 pm
chic

the next book should be good. The author was on The Dog Whisperer last week (marley and Me)
2:31 pm
Dorens

only way i got over all my miserable strep throats was to lose my tonsils
2:31 pm
Haz1558

Marley and Me - about the dog?
2:31 pm
chic

The Meaning of Everything; we're supposed to be reading it for the babble book club for Oct.
2:32 pm
chic

yes the dog one...
2:33 pm
Haz1558

Dog ones rarely have happy endings, they're always written after the dog is dead so you can't help being miserable the whole way through;.
2:33 pm
Dorens

i read a thousand splendid suns for my "other" book club this month... great book

2:35 pm
Haz1558

You never know, chic. Sometimes film makers take such liberties with the book they may have written a happy ending!
2:36 pm

Indian Wars generally don't come out too well; especially for the Indians....
2:37 pm
Dorens

2:45 pm
FMitch

You may mention that, but you still have to stay in there for another 2 mins.
2:46 pm
Haz1558

You're a hard woman.
2:46 pm

I had a hard task mistress Mrs Haz
2:46 pm

2:50 pm

kath, it's part of licketys babble expert, you have to email him if you want it.

Okay, and I'll try to be good from now on.
2:51 pm
kathw

Oh OK thanks
2:53 pm
FMitch

Back in a min or two, need another hot drink.
2:53 pm
Haz1558

I have to confess that I rarely watch the video!
2:54 pm
FMitch

I still haven't got expert
2:55 pm
Haz1558

It's good, FMitch, in that you can use as much or as little of it as you want. I would use the word ad***able.
2:55 pm
Nef

back again. I wandered off to hem some jeans so I could finally get dressed (it's ONLY 3 PM!) Ispent yesterday installing a "peel and stick" vinyl floor for an elderly relative and I HURT today! (don't you all feel bad for me?) ;)
2:57 pm
joanne0334

well i dfo
2:57 pm
joanne0334

do too
2:57 pm
Haz1558

Just realising it's a good job I didn't announce WHAT fo4 I was having earlier on.
2:57 pm
joanne0334

the good deed
2:57 pm
Haz1558

I feel bad for anyone who has to hem jeans.
2:58 pm
joanne0334

lol haz bravo for nef all round
2:59 pm
Nef

I', 5'5" and if I get petite jeans they are too short, but regulars are too long! I can't figure out how tall a nrmal height is supposed to be anymore!
2:59 pm
FMitch

As womens jeans/trousers are (90%) of the time too short for me (34" leg), hemming is not a problem.
2:59 pm
joanne0334

nothing is normal anymore
3:00 pm
Nef

34" leg isn't long enough? WOW! How tall are you?
3:00 pm
joanne0334

hip huggers drive me nuts
3:00 pm
joanne0334

and stretch grrrr
3:00 pm
FMitch

LOL got 34" leg, most womens stuff ends and 30£ or there abouts.
3:01 pm
FMitch

I buy guys jeans, get a good fit and great length.
3:02 pm
kathw

I'm a 34'' leg too, in flat shoes. Some makes do seem to be getting longer
3:02 pm
Nef

me too, joanne; and at my age they don't look good at all! Depending on the brand, sometimes I wear petite dress slacks and sometimes I wear regulars. But I end up hemming nearly every pair of jeans I buy.
3:02 pm
FMitch

Yay kath
3:02 pm
Haz1558

I could make a patchwork quilt from the material left over from stuff I've had to get shortened. Let's rephrase that - someone could make a quilt....
3:03 pm
MudPlugger

Any clues for the da5,12 words? Getting near the end...
3:03 pm
FMitch

Oh dear Haz, what would we do without you :)
3:03 pm
kathw

M&S have just started a tall section online, I have just sent for a pair of trousers, so we shall see....
3:03 pm
Haz1558

da5/12 - one is a plural of da4/5, the other adds an extra consonant to the da4/5
3:03 pm
Nef

LOL! Haz! I was just about ready to say that the Brits are growing taller these days til you chimed in!
3:04 pm
Haz1558

Some Brits may be getting taller, but not this wee woman.
3:04 pm
FMitch

My punctuation was wrong there.

kate do let me know how you get on, what size are you if you don't mind me asking?
3:04 pm
kathw

size 12
3:05 pm
MudPlugger

Thanks Haz - got the plural - is the consonant on the same da4?
3:05 pm
Brookie

Hi everyone! Just 1 word needed before fireworks... po6,21, the first one, please?
3:06 pm
Haz1558

Yes, it is Mudplugger.
3:06 pm
Haz1558

po6/21 - not how Dan Quayle spells it
3:06 pm
FMitch

Brookie, without the po6 where would french fries be?
3:06 pm
Brookie

Thanks FM, great clue! FIREWORKS!
3:07 pm
Nef

YAY Brookie
3:07 pm
Haz1558

Well done Brookie!
3:07 pm
Brookie

Thanks Haz!
3:07 pm
Brookie

Haz, your clue has lots of wit!
3:08 pm

Thank you, Brookie!
3:08 pm

Congrats Brookie
3:08 pm
Brookie

Everyone is so helpful every day I come to babble, thanks for being such a nice group.
3:09 pm
Haz1558

It's nice to have you join us, Brookie!
3:09 pm
MudPlugger

Haz, still can't see the extra consonant. arrgh. And how's the da6?
3:10 pm
Haz1558

It's the same consonant, just double it up within the word, Mud. And the da6 is the plural.
3:11 pm
MudPlugger

Duh, word blind. Just four to go! Thanks Haz - you're a star!
3:11 pm
Nef

Mud, there are 2 da 4/5's maybe try the OTHER one
3:11 pm
Haz1558

You're welcome, Mud.
3:12 pm
FMitch

Dusts off spare pedestal and proffers stepladder to Haz.
3:12 pm
Haz1558

And what about my vertigo?
3:13 pm
FMitch

OK ... swaps full size pedestal for shorter but still decorative one with chair on the top and a seat belt.
3:13 pm
FMitch

... and a safety net.
3:13 pm
Haz1558

It's not so much vertigo as a feeling of being drawn doooown. Like you'll jump even though you don't mean to.
3:13 pm
MudPlugger

Maybe someone rushing for a pedestal gets vert-ego?
3:14 pm
Haz1558

That sounds better. I'm such a wimp.
3:14 pm
Haz1558

Oh, nice one Mud!
3:14 pm
FMitch

Ha Ha Mud
3:15 pm
MudPlugger

Can't find words but can make puns. Looking for po5,12 now..
3:15 pm
Haz1558

po5/12 - mirrors, not quite exactly, the structure of the da5 and 6 that were bothering you.
3:15 pm
FMitch

Add the p to the o4/4
3:16 pm
FMitch

and don't forget the pl
3:16 pm
Haz1558

Or, po5/12 - leave a vowel from the Dan Quayle vegetable.
3:17 pm
MudPlugger

Wow - what on earth does that mean?
3:18 pm
Haz1558

A nocturnal African primate.
3:18 pm
FMitch

Click on the ? and let us know (feeling lazy here)
3:18 pm
MudPlugger

Thanks for the clues - yup just checked the definition. It's educational this process. Two to go now, st6,21 and st5,12. Not so much lazy as burnt out!
3:19 pm
Nef

any clues on the 7? I have 22 words left and dont want to go to the list just yet
3:19 pm
Haz1558

st6/21 - occurs in the Oliver Goldsmith play.
3:20 pm
FMitch

It's a pl Nef to7/28 normal word.
3:20 pm
Brookie

nef, it's the plural of ta6,18
3:20 pm
Haz1558

The seven - loved by some, hated by others, but pretty permanently here.
3:20 pm
MudPlugger

Haz, that's a but intellectual for me - I only do musicals and opera!
3:20 pm
FMitch

and led to some interesting discussions in the log this morning.
3:21 pm
Haz1558

Or - st5/12 - bend over, st6 - verb form - as in 'She st6 to conquer'
3:21 pm
Nef

thanks. And I DO have that ta 6/18 too!
3:21 pm
timhorton

hi all
3:21 pm
MudPlugger

Nef, on you or in the list?
3:21 pm
Haz1558

Oh, I'm reading in the chat log at the minute, I'll maybe come on the discussion soon.
3:22 pm

3:22 pm

Haz1558

Mud - I'm noticing that you've been a member of babble for a while now. Were you a lurker?
3:23 pm
MudPlugger

Personally can't stand the things, but one of my staff has tons of them and he's a nice as nice can be.
3:23 pm
FMitch

Persnally can't uderstand why people would want to have it done.

Mud is related to Billmeister if I remember correctly?
3:23 pm
timhorton

i have one left that i have been trying to get for some time now can anyone give me a clue for the first to5/10
3:23 pm
MudPlugger

Haz, sort of. We don't get on that often - usually spend 10-20 minutes with my 7-year old before bed time. She's great it. And yes, billmster is my father.
3:24 pm
Haz1558

Ah, that explains things.

I'm a nurse and have seen TONS of them on patients through the years. so many WWII vets had them; I just can't understand why people would want them myself
3:25 pm
MudPlugger

Fireworks! Thanks everyone - my wife found the last nasty word.
3:26 pm
FMitch

Congrats!
3:26 pm
Haz1558

My worry is that they look okayish at the start, all precise and everything but they do deteriorate.
3:26 pm
Haz1558

Congratulations Mud!
3:27 pm
MudPlugger

Thanks - we find the smaller grids worth fighting for. When it's hundreds of words we just don't have time.
3:27 pm
Haz1558

We probably don't have the time for the big ones either, but addiction is a terrible thing!
3:27 pm
Nef

YAY Mud! (which didn't work when I entered it in the "add word" box!)

Im going to bid you all adieu, not feeling too great. Happy Babbling.
Haz might see you tomorrow :)

3:32 pm
Haz1558

No, my eldest cousin's husband has died, I'll be attending the funeral in the morning. They lived quite a distance away and sadly, only seem to see her now at funerals.
3:33 pm
Lizsark

Oh I am sorry Haz :(
3:33 pm
Haz1558

Her brother died a couple of years ago, the funeral is in the same church, so it won't be easy for her.
3:34 pm
Minveryork

Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody today?
3:34 pm
Lizsark

Never easy no matter what. I've lost too many loved ones this year. I'm hoping for a better 2008 for everyone. Will be thinking of you HAz.

3:38 pm
Haz1558

You'll wear out the question mark on your computer if you keep this up, Liz.
3:38 pm
Lizsark

LOL But really! That is just SO not a real word! Even the dictionary agrees with me there
3:39 pm
Haz1558

And yet, enable is happy with it.
3:39 pm
Lizsark

sometimes I need to get out and about with the monkeys a bit more
3:40 pm

Lizsark

Fiona? Why whats wrong?
3:41 pm
Haz1558

She's still not well, hopefully the doctor can give her antibiotics for her throat, or at least, something to help.
3:42 pm
Hurra

I could use some help with the O in the middle of the grid
3:42 pm
Lizsark

she works too hard. I hope she's better soon
3:42 pm
Lizsark

Hurra - it means chooses
3:42 pm
Minveryork

oo4/4 is oo plus author ** Elliot Hurra.Is that the one
3:43 pm
Haz1558

Hurra, there's a word of choice for that one, op4.
3:43 pm

Hello Hurra! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

3:44 pm
Minveryork

oo 4/5:oo** I Did It Again (Britney Spears song) hurra
3:44 pm
Haz1558

ex plus off's opposite. Reminds me of oil disaster?
3:44 pm
Minveryork

ex 4/9 - think of a gas station Nef.
3:44 pm
Lizsark

The Valdez
3:44 pm
Haz1558

The one.
3:45 pm
Nef

thanks! :) I kept thinking there wasn't such a word. A name, maybe, but not a word
3:45 pm
Haz1558

You're probably too young to remember Britain's equivalent, the Tory Canyon, Liz.
3:47 pm
Minveryork

ex 4/9 is any portion of an interrupted gene that is represented in the RNA product & is translated into protein(according to enable).I guess it's a real word.
3:47 pm
Hurra

This is hard! Thanks for the earlier clues - I also need the A in the top row

Hello Brookie!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
3:49 pm

Lizsark

I'm off too now - washing up and bed for me. Been on the running machine tonight and my legs are like jelly!
3:53 pm
Minveryork

In my case it is not always anytime we please. Many times husband or life gets in the way. But I do know what you mean Brookie. It is not so nice when it is a short grid. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bigger puzzle
3:53 pm
Haz1558

Nasty! But it's in a good cause.
3:53 pm

Goodbye Brookie! I will see you tomorrow in the chat

4:21 pm
Babs1

consonnant instead of plural for 5/12 preceding
4:21 pm
Minveryork

sp 5/12 is you use a sp*** to eat soup Nef. st 5/12 is past tense of a st4/5 word using the cross letter Nef

Minveryork

I am sorry to hear that. What kind of marital crisis?
4:24 pm
mamae

po 5/18 anyone??? Pls.
4:24 pm
Minveryork

po 5/18 is plural of the po 4/8 word before it mamae.
4:24 pm
Minveryork

Could it be Babble Babs1? Babble causes crisis for me.
4:25 pm
Babs1

probably not good to put details here in chat, but long term issues of not being close and now finding he's led a second life --owned up to part of it, then hid the rest
4:26 pm
mamae

Thanks minveryork! You are on it! I thought I already had that! I have one left!
4:26 pm
Minveryork

My husband gets mad & says I pay more attention to Babble than to him, which is quite true unfortunately
4:28 pm
Babs1

it's a hard trek to wake up, realizing you've been living in delusion and not even knowing how long...going through lots of feelings and soul searaching
4:28 pm
Minveryork

Yes, that is definitely be a crisis! I'm so sorry Babs1!
4:28 pm

Welcome Min..... Have a good night with Hubby tonight wont you !!
4:39 pm

Min, any romantic plans?
4:39 pm
Minveryork

SillyD, you picked an appropriate name.Babble words can be quite silly here and the players can be as well.
4:39 pm
SillyD

No... I don't have that... is it because I'm a MAC user?
4:39 pm
SillyD

I know I have found 54 words... I love this!
4:40 pm

Unfortunately,he is a die hard Yankees fan so he will be watching the game to see if the Yanks will make it
4:40 pm
Aussieme

Min, and you are worried about ignoring him ?
4:40 pm
lbdawger

silly, a mac user can use the lickety list that is linked to the bottom of the page. it opens in a new window, and you can transfer your answers to that list to find out which ones you are missing.
4:40 pm
Nef

Silly, I'm on a Mac too. Go to the bottom of the page where it says "friends of Babble' and it lists likketys list down there
4:41 pm

Thank you for the information!

4:57 pm
Nef

2 words left and I can't find them. they HAVE to be fish words because I've missed the easiest words today.
4:58 pm

Yes, we have had some bad apples, but I think we've had a rotten apple for the past three years. Oh well.
4:59 pm

Minveryork

So what are the 2 words left that yoiu still need Nef?
4:59 pm
Nef

Just ONE bad apple? Wow!
5:01 pm
Minveryork

Why does the letter i have to be next to the letter u on the keyboard? I hate typos! So,what do you need?
5:01 pm
Nef

I'm still working on them so don't tell me yet. Just let me know if they are fish words, okay? Thanks. do 4/6 and to 5/12
5:02 pm
lbdawger

not fish, just unusual words we've had before.
5:02 pm
Minveryork

I would not consider them to be fish words, but then I am not a Babble expert! Will clue them when needed
5:05 pm
Nef

well, *that's* good news! At least I'm not totally blind today!
5:07 pm
Minveryork

Can I tell you how they're situated without cluing Nef
5:08 pm

yeah; you might as well clue them too. My fingers hurt and I took a pain pill so things will start swimming here soon for me

yes tina, i expect it's gonna be a huge shock to the family, but i gotta say there were a number of way outta shape people in the thing - i personally would never attempt it & i'm not in all that horrible shape
5:35 pm
helenkeller

5:35 pm
helenkeller

they even ran out of water - at the finish & also at stations along the way - it also saddens me cause i would love for the olympics to come here & this make our city look bad
5:35 pm
pam

And the heat's effects can be so severe that even people who trained--not pros, but people who trained--are at risk. Tony did do the smart thing, HK, and I am glad
5:35 pm

helenkeller

yeah - my friend said she saw this couple, the guy had run & the woman was trying to get him to go to a hospital, but he just wanted to go back to his hotel & michelle said his entire face had blisters all over, must be very heat sensitive - lots of very red-faced people
5:37 pm
helenkeller

yeah - i saw tony at mile 4 & then at 10 & he was really soaked at 10 which i was surprised at but that's cause of the heat
5:38 pm
pam

Soaked is good. People stop sweating when the start experiencing heat exhaustion, then comes heat stroke... Don't get me started on all the ways severe heat and stupid people combine! Not to mention sunburn...
5:39 pm
helenkeller

lol pam - i am very sensitive to the heat too - i had 2 friends all to make sure i was ok, lol & i didn't even run, even took a cab back to my car :)
5:40 pm

LOLOL, hk,that IS funny! Glad that you played it cool, though. I am heat sensitive, too. And, I love cold water, so you can imagine how much I drink during the summers...
5:41 pm

lbdawger

poot isn't a word either. go figure
7:53 pm
Jacula

I don't mind driving in North Wales. Apparently, I take the lanes, out of tourist season, 'like a rally driver'. But I grew up knowing every bump, twist, turn, wall and ditch in them. Here in Worcs., I'm told I drive like I have 'square wheels'. I decided to stop driving about 7 years' ago and haven't yet succumbed.
7:53 pm
renfield

it's a stinker too
7:54 pm
evanonut

7:54 pm

7:54 pm

po4/6 - small body of water, often containing goldfish.
7:59 pm
Jacula

po4/8 - a nasty smell?
8:00 pm
Jacula

No, that's po4.7
8:01 pm
Jacula

po4/8 - Babblers often say it when leaving the chatlog to signify they have switch off. We in, UK, use the word to describe either a fo4 stool or (not policically correctly) a homoesexual man. po5/18 is the plural.
8:01 pm
renfield

duh - i just noticed there are no e's in this grid....
8:02 pm
evanonut

8:02 pm
Jacula

po4/5 - like the piece of cutlery you use to eat liquid fo4s with but minus its head.

8:08 pm
Jacula

po5/12 is a type of lemur more commonly known as a kinkajou. Rhymes with a short word now used for lottery in UK, and US, I think. po6/21 is the plural.
8:08 pm
pam

Way to go, kate!

jac, thanks for the advice re: listless. i'd prefer to do it that way rather than go to the list and find all the stupid easy words i'd missed!
8:42 pm
Jacula

feather - it's normally plurals that are missed, or 'ier' or 'ig' endings.
8:43 pm
Jacula

But, sometimes, it is simple 4/4s.:(
8:43 pm
featherbee

yep. down to 16 now.
8:43 pm
Jacula

Meant *ing endings not 'ig'.
8:43 pm

but if it was a grid with a lot of really weird words, then i'd go for the list
8:44 pm
Jacula

But, feather, how would you know they were weird word unless you checked the list?
8:44 pm
featherbee

by asking you and watching the log!
8:44 pm

I mean, you could look at a grid and think, 'What the ***?'
8:45 pm

haven't heard much grumbling on this one, as opposed to yesterday's

Other than that, you only have the log comments to go by.

dawg - I don't really need to ask that, re the selective memory, given what I've seen in the teen clinic and the alzheimer's clinic. Alll I can say now, so far in my life, if thank God I still have almost total recall. All the events in my life are what have gone towards making me, as well as the genetic stuff, and, at 50, I don't think being 'Me' is a bad place to be. It could be better, had I taken a different path or two in life, of course, but it's still a pace I am content to be in at 50 and and half years' of age. LOL.

Other half hasn't got divorced yet... after nearly 4 years' togetherness. Call me old-fashioned if you like, but I'm not comfortable 'living with another woman's husband'... even if she doesnt want him.

My dad left when I was 12, I figure I have blocked all of those memories out because they were not happy ones.

Ah, getting it now. I've asked my daughter (whose Dad left us when she was 8ish) about early memories... she's 'blocked', too.
9:03 pm

he's been dead now for over 2 years, the only thing is I didn't get to ask him why he didn't keep in touch with his girls.
9:03 pm

i don't understand how you could not keep in touch with your children
9:03 pm
featherbee

i can't imagine not being part of the boy's lives in some way
9:03 pm

My son, however, has total recall. That's a male thing, I guess. 'Problem! What's happening? I'm the man now.'
9:04 pm
lbdawger

for some people the contact is the pain. whether it's the spouse or the offspring.
9:04 pm

There has been and still is a small amount of 'antler clashing' in the house. LOL

true dawg. just hard/sad to imagine it being that way
9:04 pm
BGL

I've been there, doxy. I was 11. My dad moved to Florida, found a woman and her family and forgot about us (okay, that was my perception). He died when I was 19. I chose not to go to the funeral - that made some waves, but such is life.
9:04 pm
doxy1lover

he was an "out of sight, out of mind" type person. I talked with my step-brother at the funeral, he and my aunt (whom I met at the funeral) said that he loved us girls (4 of us) and talked about us all the time. You would never know from the way he treated us.

9:36 pm
Jacula

Well, for a startm, when you lose a man and that old, ratty dressing gown is still hanging on the door, it still smells of him, doesn't it? Pheromones are far too powerful!

Jacula

Oh, and sights and sounds csn bring back memories, too, but, mostly, it's the sense of smell that floors you.
9:39 pm
Jacula

Other half sounds to be rousing for work now.
9:40 pm
Jacula

I must soon replace him in the bed in the honoured by time 'starfish' pose so I can do my my work whilst he does his, thus leaving him MORE work to do at the next weekend. LOL
9:40 pm
Jacula

It's a good thing he loves me, isn't it?
9:42 pm
Jacula

He gets about 4/5 hours' sleep, I get 7-8.

Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

I just figured out what goodreads reminds me of. In 6th grade, we had a chart with our names and we were to put a star up for each book we read--only we had to write a report to get the star. Teacher noticed I was reading more books than there were stars. Told her I wasn't interested in "winning." I was already motivated to read--on my own. Eventually, because i liked her, I wrote more reports than I would have been inclined, but still...
9:59 pm
Jacula

Pam - oh no! Surely not? I didn't see it that way.
10:02 pm
pam

I know--it's me, Jac, LOL!
10:03 pm
Jacula

I just go into there solo andd post my books and what I think about them. Only one to coment so far is Jillibus, and I thank her for that.
10:04 pm
pam

I am going to try to skim others' sites for books to add to my to-reads, and catch my list up as I think of it, Jac.
10:05 pm
Jacula

I need to scan by newly reordered bookshelves. However, I'm not sure goodreads could cope with al of the 'read', and 'to read' in one go.
10:06 pm
pam

I think you are probably right, Jac--you read A LOT!
10:06 pm
Jacula

The books on my 'to read' shelf, pam are just a small part of the ones actually here on my shelves at home. I don't go in for 'bboks I want to read but havem't yer purchased'.
10:08 pm
Jacula

Reading has always been a big part of my life, pam. Writing, also, but diminished for a decade, when life crisises (is that a word) all broke at once.
10:08 pm
pam

That makes sense, Jac.
10:09 pm
pam

I think it's crises, but yes, that makes sense. Same for me.
10:10 pm
pam

The to-read I have is one I either bought or will buy tomorrow as I ahve wanted to read it and Doren's review made it my next novel.
10:10 pm
Jacula

Pam = when you are trying to make sense of what life's throwing at you, it is not always possible to write about it except in personal letters to people.
10:12 pm
pam

True enough, jac. I found lots of babbling, writing broadcast e-mails, and individual e-mails really helped. Letter would have been nice, but I needed more immediate contact.
10:13 pm
Jacula

If you are a writer at heart, you will still hold on to the things you said in yyour personal letters. Hoepfully, you won't also hang onto thing your friend said in reply to make money out of them. I have been so p*ssed off by a number o friends through this. In my view, the mistakes II make in life ca n be laughed at and paid for... I will not betray my friends by writing about them without their permission.
10:15 pm
Jacula

pam - When you needed a helping pen, I would have been there, had you given me the postal address.
10:16 pm
pam

Well put, Jac. well put. I had all of my friends letters throughout the years, thinned them out, and then lost majority to a mold in the trunk...
10:16 pm
pam

Thanks, Jac. But you were there--here ((()))))
10:18 pm
Jacula

Weve gopt a postal strike inm UK now. 48 hours strikles, staarting Mondaysm and Thursdays. So, effectively, no post in UK at present. Whilst I do understand the postiea' argument, I still must caution them that they are playing into the hands of pivasation.
10:19 pm
Jacula

I do wish I hadn't now lost the ability to spell and ttype correctly.
10:21 pm
pam

Privatization is the bane of certain areas of existence...Ok, I am fading, fading, fading. Ciao and cheers! Great chatting, jac,...
10:21 pm
Jacula

Havig lost those abilities donesn't mean I can't chat, but it might seriously compromise my clueing abilities.
10:21 pm

And, nice ot see all of you
10:22 pm

They'd not been able to decide if the thing they were eating was fish or chicken.... it was only as they left the restaurant that they noticed the tankof bullfrogs. 'It WAS delicious, though!' my friend told me.

I just am not sure how to go about cleaning a laptop keyboard - afraid I will vacuum up the keys or something
11:38 pm
stidmama

if you use the lickety browser, there is a video that will play when you finish. Assuming you don't, I can still send you the link to previous videos...
11:38 pm
saintfranny

my husband has this can of forced air, you spray it - the can gets really cold, can't use it too long at once, but it blows little stuff out of the cracks. i need mine cleaned better than that even tho.
11:39 pm
saintfranny

stid, is that the thing that doesn't play on Mac? i know i tried to get some new thing lickety does, but he doesn't have it for Mac
11:39 pm
stidmama

well, you CAN pop the keys off and the just blow out the stuff under them. I do that all the time. It only takes a couple of days for me to remember which key goes where... *tongue in cheek*
11:39 pm
