Cool, tho Lynx. Sounds like you need it.

3:07 am

fearisslavery

hmm, no robo

3:07 am

lynxxx

in a word - yes. Our water supply people came and changed over our shower head yesterday and fixed tap washers (virtually for nothing)...uses less than half the water in a shower - but its bl**dy awful! saves 100,000 litres a year can u believe

3:08 am

moonwoof

nope, but there are Several other's very like that fear. Like myself =)

3:08 am

fearisslavery

100,000 per household?

3:08 am

lynxxx

yes - w. 3 people

3:09 am

moonwoof

No way! That's Huge amount. Even if the water pressure sucked I think I might not mind the change, for that.

3:09 am

fearisslavery

thats freakin amazing! is it really that awful?

3:09 am

moonwoof

That's a Huge difference.

3:09 am

lynxxx

3:09 am

fearisslavery

how bad is the pressure now?

3:10 am

moonwoof

Do you pay for your water, there, like we do in the US?

3:10 am

moonwoof

Or do they work that differently somehow?

3:10 am

lynxxx

Its not the presuure but the amount of water that comes out thats the issue

3:11 am

moonwoof

So it's hard to rinse, for instance?

3:11 am

fearisslavery

less streams?

3:11 am

Elsh

Not everyone in US has to pay for water.

3:11 am

fearisslavery

I don't pay for water here in NYC

3:11 am

moonwoof

Well, that's true, Elsh, but it Is more common than not...

3:11 am

fearisslavery

but I wouldn't mind not wasting as much

3:12 am

Elsh

Well I don't know about your situation, fear, but I had well water for many years.

We do pay for usage, however the main issue is that we do not have enough water in our dams in this State (Victoria). We are on Stage 3 restrictions - meaning watering garden for a couple of hours twice a week etc (no lawn watering). We are all quite concious of saving what we have

3:13 am

moonwoof

We have a well at one place we stay, but it's only one out of 7 or 8 places.

3:14 am

Elsh

I grew up conscious of water usage, cos I grew up in California. It was odd for me for awhile once I moved away and people weren't very concerned about using it.

3:14 am

moonwoof

I spend a couple of months in Colorado and Arizona every year, Lynxy... Both states have similar problems with resovoirs, etc. But that was mainly why I was curious. If I could get something like that for a couple of our places I would like that Very much.

3:15 am

moonwoof

I've already switched several of our places over to solar and wind... but water is more challenging and something like that would make a Huge difference. I shall have to google it.

3:16 am

moonwoof

Thank you Very much for mentioning it =)

3:16 am

lynxxx

Do you have dual flush toilets Woof? doesn't seem to be known of in the States

3:16 am

coolits

clue for ob8?

3:17 am

moonwoof

It is kind of weird, Elsh. I "grew up" in Minnesota and while it is a very ecologoically minded state, water is the one thing they dont think anything of.

3:17 am

Elsh

That's interesting.

3:18 am

Elsh

It doesn't rain much in the desert though, I guess that's why people think of water in California.

3:18 am

moonwoof

We have 2. But they're Really expensive over here... and they're difficult to get in right the first time. But I do know what they are.

3:18 am

lynxxx

Single flush toilets are ob8 in Australia (ie no longer used)

3:19 am

moonwoof

There are 2 places I Flat out can't get those for since they work terribly with either well water or septic systems. At least here. But I'm getting a handle on it and hope to roll over a couple more places next year.

3:19 am

Elsh

Oh, it's rather late, goodnight everyone, and good luck. I'll be back to work on this after I sleep.

3:19 am

moonwoof

Same with Colorado and Arizona, Elsh. It's definately something regional that way.

3:20 am

moonwoof

Have a good night Elsh. Sleep sweetly.

3:20 am

Elsh

For sure. Thanks.

3:20 am

coolits

tnx lynxx

3:20 am

lynxxx

Coolits - my message @3.18 was for you too!

3:20 am

lynxxx

goodnite Elsh

3:21 am

moonwoof

I really wish I could say that about the US, Lynx. I honestly do... But although some things are popular morally, they aren't popular in practise, yet.

3:22 am

coolits

how was your toilet flush?? multiple times??

3:23 am

lynxxx

the flush is either just a short flush or long, depending on which of the buttons you push (twin buttons)

3:24 am

coolits

3:24 am

it could save water

3:24 am

coolits

aww

3:25 am

moonwoof

Evening Pen. =)

3:25 am

moonwoof

And it does, coolits. It saves a Lot of water.

3:25 am

lynxxx

It does saves heaps Coolits - I think something like 40% of water is used in toilets otherwise

3:25 am

moonwoof

I think my puppy has a flu.... Poor thing.

3:26 am

moonwoof

I just had to go pull her away from a heat vent and stuff her in my shirt... She's all shaky. =(

3:26 am

fearisslavery

boron

3:27 am

moonwoof

Just in case i have to leave abruptly, I will apologize in advance.

3:27 am

lynxxx

that doesn't sound good Woof..off to the vets in the morning

3:28 am

moonwoof

Probably. She just cant afford to lose that much weight. She's already small. =P

3:28 am

moonwoof

She's been at it off and on all night, but the he4 kicked on a bit ago and I think she was trying to go Into the vent.

3:30 am

lynxxx

a hot water bottle might help - or a heated wheat pack if you have one

3:30 am

moonwoof

The last time she had something like this she lost 2lbs in a day.

3:31 am

moonwoof

Actually. I have an electric blanket I never use anymore... good call, Lynx, ty for the brain jog. brbr

3:36 am

moonwoof

I used to keep wheat packs before I got her for the pets. But I haven't been able to keep one around since I got her. She keeps chewing em open =P

3:36 am

moonwoof

Those and the stuffed things.

3:37 am

lynxxx

...and yr slippers I bet. I had a dog who used to destroy cushion inserts everytime I washed the covers, he was soo quick

3:38 am

FranMag

I'm back!

3:38 am

moonwoof

Used to get the slippers.. That's the one thing she Cant seem to open are the Large sliding doors on the closet.

3:38 am

moonwoof

Wb Franny!

3:38 am

lynxxx

Hi Fran wb

3:39 am

FranMag

hi again lynxxx and moon!

3:39 am

moonwoof

She got one boot 2 slippers (one each from two sets) and All the wheat packs. She would nose open the cupboard doors and hop shelves to get to em.

3:40 am

moonwoof

Those are the household Items. I had to put Kid locks on all the food cupboards.

3:41 am

moonwoof

Thankfully she never chewed on cords tho. {{shudder}}

3:42 am

lynxxx

!!! what sort of dog Woof?

3:42 am

moonwoof

Jack russel.

3:42 am

moonwoof

She's a whopping 10 lbs of carnage mayhem and destruction =P

3:43 am

moonwoof

And a Monster in her own mind, when she's not sick.

3:43 am

FranMag

my friend's jack russel ate their leather sofa

3:43 am

moonwoof

See? THEY are te6s lol

3:43 am

lynxxx

a terrier, of course! I had both sorts of fox terriers, the smooth was mayhem on 4 legs, totally obsessive about everything!

3:44 am

moonwoof

Thankfully with work and all she doesn't chew leather, either, except the occassional scrap...

3:44 am

moonwoof

And the one boot.

3:44 am

moonwoof

Her mother was a Hoot.

3:45 am

FranMag

brb

3:45 am

moonwoof

Her mom was only obsessive about One thing. Wood. There's not a whole lot funnier than watching a 13lb dog haul around a 2ft 4x4 and wanting you to throw it.

3:46 am

moonwoof

It was so heavy her little back legs would lift off the ground and she would have to scrunch up to get em back on the ground.

3:47 am

lynxxx

..and they never let it go! no matter what!

3:48 am

moonwoof

Nope. So we built a table and used that piece for one of the legs. She tried for 2 months to haul the table around.

3:48 am

lynxxx

ROFL

3:49 am

moonwoof

Thankfully this one isnt so bad. She has a big sister to play with. Otherwise I might have to put her out of My misery =)

3:49 am

lynxxx

they do get under your skin don't they

3:50 am

moonwoof

I have a picture of that somewhere I should try to find it. It's Really funny looking.

3:51 am

moonwoof

they can. I've seen a couple of poor things that must be living in apartments or something, and they're hard to watch. Terriers are Definately not for everyone, I now know.

3:51 am

moonwoof

I think if they had thumbs, I would be in Serious trouble.

3:52 am

LoriP

Walks in all groggy like and grunts "g'd morning Babblers" then heads for coffee pot.

3:52 am

moonwoof

Morning Lori. I believe Franny just put on a fresh Pot.

3:53 am

FranMag

yes, 100% Kona

3:53 am

lynxxx

Hi Lori. Think I might get myself a cup too BBS

3:53 am

3:58 am

moonwoof

Ah, sorry. I thought you were more in the middle, somehow. But Still lol

3:59 am

LoriP

I just couldn't sleep anymore, so I got up to peek at the grid before I get everyone else up and start the day.

4:00 am

moonwoof

Sorry to hear you couldn't sleep longer. But I hope it was a Good rest, while you were. =)

4:01 am

LoriP

The lower left corner is a plethora of words so far. Hope the whole grid goes like this.....

4:02 am

moonwoof

me too =P

4:03 am

moonwoof

but it seems to get snakey and stall out just past halfway from what I can tell.

4:03 am

moonwoof

be forewarned.

4:03 am

LoriP

ack I'll just pretend you didn't say that. :-)

4:04 am

moonwoof

Say what?

4:04 am

moonwoof

he he he

4:04 am

LoriP

That'ss what I thought. Oh nothing.... :)

4:05 am

moonwoof

4:08 am

bfsog

i can always tell if the grids got a large number of words or a small, measuring that on how many words i get on the fly, and i know theres a lot today lol

4:08 am

moonwoof

there are a few =)

4:09 am

bfsog

4:26 am

ylleria

4:38 am

bfsog

i might post a little blog about babble on my website,

4:39 am

moonwoof

About how freakishly quiet it gets at this time of night??

4:39 am

moonwoof

Or The Tattoos of Babble?

4:40 am

bfsog

um, tattoos? more like "go play!"

4:40 am

moonwoof

I suppose, I prolly should start by asking what the site is about =)

4:40 am

moonwoof

cool! You've been enjoying it, then?

4:41 am

bfsog

mainly me posting web design tutorials, thats what i do for a living when im not babbling

4:41 am

bfsog

oh yeah

4:41 am

moonwoof

Make websites, or tutorials?

4:42 am

bfsog

well my job is a web developer, but in my time i have my own (various) websites that i run,

4:42 am

moonwoof

Makes sense.

4:42 am

moonwoof

No point not having a wee bit of fun with work =)

4:43 am

moonwoof

If you do something like that you should have DrG put a link down in the "friends of" section.

4:44 am

moonwoof

But's nice to hear you've been enjoying it, too.

4:45 am

bfsog

yeah, i introduced this to my gf and whenever she calls me at work she asks "hows babble?" to which i reply "ive got xx out of yy with no list!"

4:45 am

lynxxx

be ready for an influx though, everytime it is 'put out' to the public it becomes bedlam here. I am sure your readers won't be of the Troll variety though bfsog

4:46 am

bfsog

no, most of my readers are so secretive that i dont even think they exist :P

4:46 am

moonwoof

That's very cool. Sharing is nice.

4:47 am

moonwoof

but it might be nice to "meet" one or two here, correct?

4:47 am

lynxxx

lol bfsog, but I am sure you do yourself an injustice. New blood is always welcome, yes

4:47 am

bfsog

well i would still run my web tut. website because you never know when someone would need guidance

4:49 am

moonwoof

That's very true of course. Seems unlikely Noone would ever need help again.

4:51 am

4:53 am

lilliann

4:54 am

moonwoof

Good. I'd hate to have to giggle you into submission.

4:54 am

moonwoof

She Definately has your eyes =)

4:54 am

lilliann

not good with compliments and never believe them, but tahnx

4:54 am

lilliann

4:55 am

moonwoof

You dont have to believe them, for them to be true. So we're even =P

4:55 am

lilliann

what squinty!!lol

4:55 am

moonwoof

not even a little. But she's young. =)

4:56 am

lilliann

4:57 am

moonwoof

Nope. Just squinty. lol

4:57 am

lilliann

lol

4:57 am

moonwoof

Did you get to the doc?

4:58 am

moonwoof

or more imprtantly, are you feeling better??

4:58 am

lilliann

just got back, got some antibiotics

4:59 am

moonwoof

Good to hear. Kinda. Wish for you it woulda been a couple of days ago, tho.

4:59 am

lilliann

so hopefully by tomorrow, i'll start feeling a bit better. they worked quite quickly the last time i was like this

4:59 am

moonwoof

that's Best for you.

5:00 am

lilliann

i should of called the dr out as i couldn't get there, but i don't like to, but i'll be better in a few days so everything ok

5:01 am

moonwoof

I empathize. If you've had this before tho, You Know you really should have.

5:01 am

lilliann

just listening to james blunt,babling and chilling and waiting for hubby to get them for me...bless him!

5:02 am

lilliann

babbling even....yes mam moon!!

5:02 am

moonwoof

I'll try to make sure to remind you, next time =)

5:03 am

lilliann

i know i should have but i knew i'd end up seeing the dr i didn't want to see...last time he told me to walk more...i was sitting in my wheelchair!lol

5:04 am

moonwoof

They do that. Next time just ignore him if you need to and get the meds anyway. =P

5:06 am

lilliann

he doesn't like to give antibiotics but he does like to give out ibrufen...i think he has shares in the company!!

5:06 am

moonwoof

blech. You cant ask for a new one?

5:07 am

moonwoof

He sounds ex-military... They prescribe motrin for EVERYthing.

5:08 am

lilliann

he's not the one i normally see, but everyone likes my dr so you can never get an appt with him, so emergency ones, its normally with this other dr

5:08 am

moonwoof

Makes sense, but sucks...

5:09 am

moonwoof

The puppy Finally fell asleep. Yeah!

5:10 am

lilliann

my dr, always takes his time with each patient and always runs late, but you don't mind that as you knows he's going to be thorough..the other dr, you're lucky to be in for more than 5 minutes

5:10 am

lilliann

oh, how old and what it is?

5:11 am

moonwoof

Jack russel, uh, like 5 years I think, and barfy.

5:11 am

lilliann

ahh, 5 yrs...thats not a puppy?lol

5:13 am

moonwoof

Well, I guess not. It's just hard for me to think of her as less than my kid, and she only weighs 10 lbs... She also looks young for her age =)

5:14 am

lilliann

ahh, she's only little...is she small because of health problems?

5:14 am

lynxxx

5:19 am

lilliann

when do you move?

5:19 am

lilliann

i think you'll need some beer at the end of it asweel!!

5:19 am

mrpresident

5:19 am

lilliann

omg, my typing today is crap!!

5:20 am

moonwoof

Yeah. Youre just Awful lilli lol

5:20 am

mrpresident

5:21 am

lilliann

that s probably why then!!!lol

5:21 am

mrpresident

oh, and we live on a goat trail, about 20 metre driveway, 45 degree angle...

5:21 am

lilliann

you should become minimalist!!

5:22 am

moonwoof

Minimalist is hard to do with children.

5:22 am

lilliann

that won't help then.well, i hope everything goes well for you and your family mrp

5:23 am

lilliann

tell me about it moon!!lol

5:23 am

mrpresident

yes moon, how many kids you have?

5:24 am

moonwoof

i figured out once that the amout of stuff I had to add once we added the pets was a 3rd again as much stuff.

5:24 am

moonwoof

4, But they're all fur-kids =)

5:24 am

moonwoof

So I can only imagine Non furry kids would have Lots more than that.

5:24 am

lilliann

but saying that, i have now gone minimalist in lounge and my bedroom, until the bairn's things spill over!

5:26 am

lilliann

oh, and my crafty things, which drives hubby to distraction....that's why i do it!!! lol

5:26 am

moonwoof

I'm pretty minimalist with my personal stuff too.. But work I count seperate. We have a trailer for that.

5:27 am

moonwoof

Are you still going to be having a sale, mrp, or did you already have one?

5:27 am

lilliann

you work from home then moon?

5:28 am

moonwoof

Only in a Very loose sense Lillian. We have a workshop and sales areas apart from home, but it Does bleed over.

5:28 am

moonwoof

Probably a lot like your craft stuff =)

5:29 am

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I am looking forward to being deep in the woods on the ski trails.

6:13 am

Scrabbler

I forgot to turn my alarm clock on last night so I woke up 30 min late--I lost valuable Babble time.

6:13 am

Uniquity

Well this is new...despite numerous refreshes, icons are simply coming up as empty white boxes. brb, gotta work on this

6:14 am

lilliann

is it not difficult to ski with all the trees in the way?

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Oh, dear, I have lost my identity. Where has the green bunny gone?

6:14 am

lilliann

i can see th icons but not all the chat

6:15 am

Uniquity

No, Scrabs, you are the only icon I can see! Lill and I are coming up white, as well as everyone else in past chat

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Lill--there is a county park nearby and groomed trails, a large loop actually, through the woods. We start at a warming hut that has a wood stove and halfway there is a lean-to for rest. It takes about 1 hr to do the loop.

6:16 am

lilliann

sounds fun scrabs

6:16 am

lilliann

i have to keep moving the scroll bar to read chat

6:17 am

Scrabbler

But, Lil, there are several downhill, curved sections where one must turn lest become embedded in the tree. If the snow is icy then I take off my skis and walk down. I am wimpy but want to avoid bodily destruction.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Is Lori still buried in the grid?

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Uni, please check on your mother and see if she is alive.

6:19 am

lilliann

G'd morning Scrabbler! To date, I am alive

whole load of nastiness, peri. Computer crashed again, threatening letters to remind us of bills to pay... with amounts of 212 euro and up... for what in the end was only 15 euro... and I have a fear of money issues, so got totally panicked. Bike still broken. Hubby still ill. Neighbours going to have a party tonight (teenager boys) and me being allergic to noise. For starters. If I wasn´t such a stubborn never-quitter I´d jump a building today.

*Quietly disappears off to the cuboard muttering*

8:18 am

Haz1558

Have you not taken your yellow pills either, FMitch?

8:18 am

Vicuna

Now that FMitch is in the cupboard I'm singing "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone." Unless Aloy shows up, of course.

8:19 am

FMitch

*Someone stole my smarties, all those pretty colours*

8:19 am

Haz1558

I still haven't recovered from Smarties not being sold in tubes with tops any more. The world isn't right.

8:19 am

sprite

I came across a nice quote.
"In the end, everything will be okay. If it´s not okay, it´s not the end."

8:20 am

carleekat

I SAW SMARTIES in a TUBE at christmas

8:20 am

carleekat

BIG honkin tube

8:20 am

sprite

Haz, darling, they are. In holland anyway. Perhaps you can send me your snailmail? Would love to send you some!

8:20 am

Haz1558

But was it a small tube with a plastic top?

8:20 am

carleekat

there u go sprite...

8:20 am

FMitch

That is a goo done sprite.

Loved smarties as a kid.

8:21 am

carleekat

no..we have not had that since I was a kid...but at xmas time here..u can always get them in a BIG tube ( about 1 foot long)

8:21 am

Anniebrook

and Smarties are?

8:21 am

Haz1558

We can get them in BIG tubes, we can get them in hexagonal tubes, but no plastic tops. How are children meant to learn their alphabet without educational resources?

8:21 am

carleekat

oh...smarties like m&m's but are milk chocolate not dark chocolate

8:21 am

EvaNadine

yay bagel!
breakfast is gonna be yummy today!

8:21 am

sprite

big one with plastic cap with a figure on it. Like an animal. We used them as stamps.

8:21 am

FMitch

*Faints at the thought of a foot of smarties*

8:22 am

sprite

darn... Uniquity, cannot get the link to the expert 11 to work. Guess I need the link to the 12.

8:22 am

Haz1558

Oh, sprite, you're very kind but really, they do taste the same out of the hexagonal packet. I've conducted extensive taste tests to make sure.

8:22 am

carleekat

we just always used the box to make a funny cazoo until the cardboard got sloppy from saliva

8:23 am

carleekat

we have a 12?

8:23 am

Haz1558

Annie - smarties are sweets with a chocolate centre and a crispy outer shell. Their appeal lies in the fact that you can eat them in many different ways.

8:24 am

Haz1558

You can shovel quantities of them in your mouth and crunch away.

8:24 am

Haz1558

You can store them in your mouth until the heat melts the chocolate.

8:24 am

FMitch

Oooo, p5/12 the first dance I learnt in Flamenco classes.

8:24 am

Haz1558

You can combine the two. That takes special skill and dedication.

8:24 am

sprite

lol Haz, that is true, but sometimes one needs the package as well as what is inside :)
Well, if you ever need them... let me know.

8:25 am

sprite

am I allowed a serious bout of binge eating today?

8:25 am

carleekat

and u can choose to eat the red ones last

8:25 am

Anniebrook

Then Smarties are educational as well a delicious...never heard of them

8:25 am

Haz1558

Thanks sprite - if I reach smartie crisis (and being nearly 50 you'd think I'd have got over this by now), I'll send out a distress signal.

8:26 am

ch1212

good morning -- In the U.S. the candy named Smarties is a small roll of disc shaped candy in various flavors, but no chocolate in it. Not as tart as SweetTarts. Pastel colored.

8:26 am

FMitch

No sprite you are not as you will then have guilt pounds to contend with.

8:26 am

sprite

it is a deal, Haz. Or anything else dutch.

8:26 am

Haz1558

Such a shame, Annie. They've seen me through many a chocolate deprivation crisis.

8:26 am

Anniebrook

Haz, that is what M&M

8:26 am

sprite

Could someone please tell moonwoof and Ata that I am not online on msn or email because of the new crash?

8:27 am

Haz1558

AND the orange ones have orange flavoured chocolate.

8:27 am

alicesuckling

how many words are there today?

8:27 am

Haz1558

They aren't M&M's - similar but much nicer.

8:27 am

sprite

guilt pounds sound like an improvement from where I am standing

8:27 am

Anniebrook

That is what M&M's are for over here...haven't outgrown my addiction to M&Ms

8:27 am

8:28 am

Haz1558

I thought I was the disciplinarian around here, FMItch?

8:28 am

sprite

good idea, FMitch. Very true.

8:28 am

Anniebrook

carlee, so that is Smarties...too bad I cant reach in and grab a large handful

8:29 am

sprite

so Haz... I do have YOUR permission then?

8:29 am

Haz1558

I say go on and have a little something, but not a binge.

8:29 am

Anniebrook

{{{sprite}}} would a nice fast long walk help?

8:30 am

sprite

ok I can try that, Haz.

Annie: I wish. Can´t walk well. Mostly limited to house and direct surroundings.

8:30 am

Haz1558

I would send over George Clooney, but he's gone AWOL.

8:31 am

Anniebrook

Haz, I thought that was why FM went off to the cupboard...I bet she was looking for GC

8:31 am

sprite

NOW you´re talking. That might help, Haz :D

8:32 am

sprite

actually it will be better already when hubby comes back home. Hugs and love and the best man in the world. He is to the doctor, pharmacy and shops.

8:32 am

Haz1558

Wait for it, Annie. FM doesn't rate George. There. Now if that doesn't make you suspicious about him, nothing will.

8:32 am

Haz1558

About HER (FMItch)

8:32 am

Haz1558

Actually, FMItch being in the cupboard might have something to do with the god of love's presence in the grid.

8:32 am

Vicuna

FM's man is in the grid again today: er4

8:32 am

Haz1558

Not that I'm one for gossip, but......

8:33 am

Haz1558

You saw that too, Vicuna?

8:33 am

Vicuna

Oh, go ahead, Haz. Let's hear it.

8:33 am

sprite

hey Vicuna!

8:33 am

Anniebrook

Ah, so he is...er4

8:34 am

Haz1558

Is it gossip if you make something up?

8:34 am

Anniebrook

No, just an idle rumor

8:34 am

Vicuna

I'm sure Mr Er4 is very handsome, but what's the point of a handsome lover you're never allowed to look at lest you spill wax on him and wake him up?

8:34 am

Vicuna

Maybe the fictional stuff is "glossip".

8:35 am

sprite

fireworks. I am off, guys, thanks for being there. And special thanks for the hugs and the laughs. Nothing like a babble visit to get into a more stable mood.

8:35 am

Anniebrook

LOL

8:35 am

Vicuna

Hey, sprite. Oops, a little late!

8:35 am

Haz1558

Glossip - maybe that's what Wodehouse was thinking when he christened a character 'Tuppy Glossop'

8:35 am

Anniebrook

bye, {{sprite}}

8:35 am

Vicuna

Don't do anything rash, sprite! Take care of yourself!

8:35 am

Haz1558

Have as good a day as you can, sprite. Bye for now.

8:36 am

Vicuna

Who can fathom the miraculous ways of P.G.'s mind?

8:36 am

sprite

will take little steps at a time. And will try for a nap. That might be wise. Thanks all *hug*

8:36 am

FMitch

Hmm I leave the room for 2 mins and return to findmy "friends" casting aspersions like there is no tomorrow!

8:36 am

Haz1558

Oh I know, Vicuna, the very names make me laugh.

8:37 am

Haz1558

Well, if you will go off to cupboards.

8:37 am

Vicuna

No aspersions were cast, FM. We were too busy discussing what we'd call this particular class of aspersions to ever get around to casting any.

8:38 am

Haz1558

I know. I hadn't got round to any real news.

8:39 am

Vicuna

Got any aspersions in mind, FM? We're always looking for some good ones.

8:39 am

FMitch

Sprite mentioned an Italian dish earlier, Ive just found it and it's not a man :(

8:40 am

Haz1558

Were you anywhere near Heathrow Airport yesterday, FMitch?

8:40 am

Vicuna

Can a Roman god be termed "an Italian dish?"

8:40 am

Haz1558

I was idly wondering if your name could be linked with blame for that crash landing!

8:41 am

Vicuna

Wait, Er4 is Greek, however dishy.

8:41 am

FMitch

As the crow flies I am about 15 miles from Heathrow but not me.

8:42 am

Haz1558

It was quite an escape for the passengers.

8:42 am

Vicuna

HAZ! I just found your last name in the grid. You're so special!

8:43 am

FMitch

and the house owners and drivers on the very busy road it flew 15' over!

Haz1558

Good morning bethany.

8:50 am

Vicuna

So is noob, but they haven't made it into Enable yet. And considering that it still doesn't take "internet", it will be a while for "blog."

8:50 am

Anniebrook

8:50 am

bethanyej

8:50 am

Haz1558

8:50 am

carleekat

8:51 am

bethanyej

8:51 am

Vicuna

That's my favorite, too, Haz!!!!

8:51 am

bethanyej

i'm sorry - is not a word

8:51 am

Haz1558

Cos you're such a Smartie, carlee!

8:51 am

FMitch

We arranged it special for you carlee!

8:51 am

Vicuna

Well, that's a fair and square proper noun brand name. Very square.

8:51 am

Haz1558

It's great, I must try and remember it for the rest of the family.

8:53 am

FMitch

8:57 am

hackerly

i cannot believe "blog" isn't a word!

8:58 am

FMitch

Haz, have you had this dreadful rain and wind? We had thunder and lightening with hailstones this time yesterday.

8:59 am

Scarlet

Good morning Babble Beauties! I am sitting here totally entertained by silly words that I try... and they are accepted... giggling like a mad hatter... I expect that Haz would cuff the back of my head and tell me to "focus"...

8:59 am

Haz1558

Sorry, was getting words there. No, just rain.

8:59 am

herinfernallady

Yah Angel

8:59 am

Vicuna

Uh oh, Scarlet's still on yesterday's Alice in Wonderland high...

9:00 am

FMitch

*Grin* Hi there Scarlet

9:00 am

Vicuna

Or maybe that was two days ago...

9:00 am

Scarlet

Oh, right... sorry about that, Vi, and good day! Hi, FMitch... have you been staying out of trouble this morning?

9:00 am

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet. I'm your conscience.

9:00 am

Vicuna

It's all just a big green and yellow blur, with letters floating about... dancing...

9:00 am

Anniebrook

hi Scarlet! my favorite today is gloop

9:01 am

Scarlet

Yes you are, Haz, and I so appreciate that! {{Annie}} I am loving the goofy word, sn5/10...

9:01 am

FMitch

I've been as good as gold Scarlet (always am) tee hee

9:02 am

Scarlet

Of course you have been, FMitch... I see your favorite fellow in the grid today... tee-hee...er4/4

9:02 am

Haz1558

Believe that, you'll believe anything.

9:02 am

Scarlet

Is anyone sellling the London Bridge this morning... I am looking for some real estate investments...

9:03 am

herinfernallady

How are you all?

9:03 am

Anniebrook

No, Scar, but the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale, call Donald Trump if you are interested

9:03 am

Scarlet

Hi there, Lady!

9:03 am

Haz1558

Well, make sure what bridge you're buying. It's rumoured that those who bought London bridge thought they were getting Tower Bridge.

9:03 am

Anniebrook

hi herin

9:04 am

FMitch

Didn't realise you were in the market Scarlet, I sold it earlier, but I do have one spare (one careful owner)

9:04 am

Scarlet

Annie, that hair is the most disgusting thing ever! I could never concentrate if I talked to him... ugh! But, I can have my people talk to his people...

9:04 am

herinfernallady

My B>f and my ex are playing the playstation. Its nice to see them get along and act like little boys

9:05 am

Scarlet

Thank you for the distinction, Haz... I do love Big Ben, though.. can you wangle a deal for me?

9:05 am

pabtrek

Anniebrook

pabtrek

9:06 am

pabtrek

thanks Annie

9:06 am

Scarlet

Annie, that se was my first word... and I was lulled into a false sense of security... LOL

9:06 am

FMitch

and the an 9 is a pl of the 8

9:06 am

Haz1558

I'll have my people talk to the Big Ben people and get back to your people, Scarlet.

9:07 am

FMitch

*Sound of phone ringing - Hello, yes this is Big Ben's people here*

9:07 am

Haz1558

My smugness levels reached Atalante heights when I got the se9 word.

9:07 am

Uneaixoise

OHMYGOD, Roddick just lost to Kohlschreiber in 5 sets--2:00 in the morning! FABULOUS match!!

9:07 am

Scarlet

My people are thanking your people, Haz, and if necessary, will call a meeting with egg white omelets at the ready.

9:07 am

Haz1558

Poor Roddick, he tries so hard.

9:07 am

Scarlet

Exactly on the SE word... my "smug" was properly booted in the craw soon afterward.

9:08 am

Haz1558

Speaking of tennis, I've got tickets for the Tennis Legends tour again. Borg is playing. Smugness levels sky high.

9:08 am

herinfernallady

Une are you watching Aus tennis?

9:08 am

Scarlet

Une...are you prepared for Raffie to dominate again?

9:08 am

Anniebrook

I got the se word from a clue, I think BR's and then I had to spell it...hah!

9:09 am

Scarlet

And Bobby Fischer died this morning in an Iceland hospital, at 64.

9:09 am

Scarlet

Annie, that word was my single triumph this week... \

9:09 am

FMitch

I've got a ticket to see "The Trojan Women" at the National (Greek Tradgedy) not feeling very smug at all.

9:09 am

Anniebrook

Oh, that is so sad, Scarlet....

9:10 am

Haz1558

Are the Trojan Women not very cheerful souls?

9:11 am

Scarlet

He was such a case, Annie... I think he was quite unbalanced... poor soul.

9:11 am

FMitch

as its a tragedy I guess not, there will be much meaningful (so some) wailing all behind while masks I think.

9:11 am

Anniebrook

Yes, he was

9:11 am

Haz1558

Is it one of your set texts, Fmitch?

9:12 am

FMitch

No but the tutor thought it would be a good tie in with Eurpiedes Media.

9:13 am

Scarlet

Beloved absolutely loved your hugs yesterday, Annie... and kattie's, and Aloy's, and peri's and sprite's... you should have seen his smile... I told him he has quite a concerned group of ladies all over the globe who really care about him...

9:13 am

Haz1558

Then see it you should.

9:13 am

Scarlet

I am a bit green, FMitch... such an opportunity.

9:14 am

Anniebrook

Scarlet, How is Rhett feeling today, hope the URI is getting better

9:14 am

FMitch

Looking forward to it none the less apart from the travelling home on the train late at night, feel very vunerable all of a sudden.

9:14 am

FMitch

Must read posts properly, thought I had made carlet feel a little sick.

9:14 am

herinfernallady

Une are you watching the tennis from Melbourne Aus?

9:15 am

Anniebrook

I saw Medea with Diana Riggs years ago...loved it...lots of clanging and clanking about and carrying on

9:15 am

Judi

Back. Internet wigged out for a few minutes there.

9:15 am

Deeha

Just seen the bit about tickets for Borg. Now there is a man that turned from a spotty teenager into a (early)middleaged serious dish! How unfair is it of men to do that.

9:15 am

Scarlet

Yes, Annie... it is a slow process, but each day, a little better... Diana Rigg? Wow... one of beloved

9:15 am

FMitch

Thats it in a nutshell Annie

9:15 am

Scarlet

's favorite ladies... especially as hostess to PBS productions.

9:16 am

Anniebrook

I love the Greek tragedies....all soap operas which I dont watch but the Greeks had it first

9:16 am

Haz1558

I'm looking forward to seeing Borg play tennis, Deeha. The fact that he is extremely attractive has NOTHING to do with me getting tickets....

9:17 am

Deeha

I believe that!!

9:17 am

Anniebrook

Of course NOT, Haz

9:17 am

Scarlet

Right, Haz. Same with Mr. Clooney, no doubt.

9:17 am

FMitch

And hands in the air if you believe Haz on that one

9:17 am

Scarlet

Brooklyn Bridge, anyone?

9:17 am

Haz1558

It's just a pleasnt coincidence.

9:17 am

Anniebrook

Not a hand in sight!

9:18 am

Haz1558

There has to be SOMEONE who believes me!

9:18 am

FMitch

To you Scarlet a snip at $2.5 mil

9:18 am

FMitch

Sorry Haz, I got my binoculars out and ... nope, no hands on that we know you too well.

9:19 am

Anniebrook

Grab it Scarlet, and then we will talk to Mr. Hair's people

9:19 am

Haz1558

I've just thought. The Milliennium dome?

9:19 am

Haz1558

It's bound to have potential.

9:19 am

herinfernallady

shit

9:19 am

FMitch

Ah now that she can have on a Buy One Get One Free deal

9:20 am

Scarlet

LOL... FMitch... love it, Annie... Mr. Hair! Perfect.

9:20 am

Haz1558

Sshhh. Don't let her know that it comes as a bargain.

9:20 am

Deeha

I hate to say I LOVED the Millenium Dome I went 6 times and would still be going if it was still there! But I hear it has turned into an amazing concert venue that is packing them in

9:21 am

periwinkle

HI there Scarlet

9:21 am

Judi

Objection. "Blog" not accepted.

9:21 am

FMitch

Urgh, headline on new just now British Gas is putting their prices up by 15% after the winter

9:21 am

periwinkle

I tried blog also

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

hi all!

9:21 am

Scarlet

Doesn't anyone like Mr. Federer anymore? Hi, peri!! {{{hugs to thee}}}

9:21 am

Scarlet

Hi, TO!

9:21 am

Haz1558

So it has risen, phoenix like, (or FMitch like) from the immediate gloom and criticism?

9:21 am

Judi

TO!

9:21 am

Deeha

Not after the winter FM - from TODAY

9:21 am

Anniebrook

Hi Owl!

9:21 am

Haz1558

Federer is wonderful. He makes tennis look beautiful.

9:22 am

FMitch

But I thought .... Big Shigh Deeha

9:22 am

Scarlet

Such a gentleman, Haz... such class and talent... he is my number one.

9:22 am

herinfernallady

Hi TO

9:22 am

periwinkle

HI Owl

9:22 am

FMitch

Hello TO!

9:23 am

Haz1558

I agree, Scarlet. He has brought beauty to the game and is acknowledged by all as a genuine gentleman.

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

herin, was away for a mo--back now--yes, was watching Australian Open on ESPN2

9:23 am

Anniebrook

Hi Une!

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

scarlet, still a winter wonderland at your house?

9:23 am

herinfernallady

Cool Uni. I am still up at that time as the b.f and the ex are playing the playstation. THe ex needs cheering up

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

hey, annie!

9:24 am

Haz1558

I watched the struggle last year between Federer and Nadal in the WImbledon final. EIther of them winning would have pleased me because they both contributed so much to the match, but I was extra pleased for Federer.

9:24 am

Scarlet

His grace and natural talent have brought dignity back to a contest somewhat eroded by thuggery... and I am NOT a fan of the Williams' girls...

9:24 am

Haz1558

You can't mention the Williams sisters in the same breath!

9:24 am

Scarlet

Yes, Une... still snow-covered and the roads, which had a reasonably good melt yesterday afternoon, are covered in black ice today... many accidents. What about Nashville?

9:25 am

Scarlet

Then I shan't, Haz.

9:25 am

Haz1558

I'm sure they're nice girls, but watching them play is not pretty.

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

going to get my new icon bbs

9:26 am

Uneaixoise

here it's cold but no precip . . .

9:26 am

periwinkle

sunny here today after snow showers yesterday

9:26 am

FMitch

It's all the noises that tennis players make that gets me.

9:27 am

Scarlet

Yes, Haz... I share your thoughts on last year's Wimbledon... I was very pleased... the girls are so choppy and loud... not the Chrissie or my all-time favorite woman player: Martina.

9:27 am

Haz1558

I know. It started with Monica Seles and has got worse. Sharapova is dreadful.

9:27 am

Scarlet

Right, FMitch!

9:28 am

Scarlet

Yes! I am awaiting some breakthrough on the women's game...

9:28 am

Haz1558

Martina was a tremendous athlete. I loved to watch Steffi Graf play, and for the oldtimers, Evonne Goolagong always looked as though she enjoyed herself.

9:29 am

Scarlet

The most famous aborigine in the world, Haz... she was a joy to watch!

9:30 am

periwinkle

Scarlet, I read that your beloved enjoyed our hugs, how is he doing today?

9:30 am

Anniebrook

I hate to leave but I must, be back later

9:30 am

Uneaixoise

Chrissie was always my mom's favorite . . .

9:30 am

Scarlet

I AM an oldtimer, Haz... you are extremely diplomatic...

9:30 am

Uneaixoise

later, Annie :-)

9:30 am

Scarlet

Later, Annie!! :-)

9:30 am

72 Temple Owl

later, annie

9:31 am

FMitch

Old timers?!? honestly Haz I do dispair at you sometimes

9:31 am

Haz1558

No, Scarlet, I didn't mean you! I'm old enough to remember watching Evonne Goolagong as well!

9:31 am

Scarlet

Oh, peri... he was so moved... he actually went back to bed this morning... and is curled up watching The Guns of Navarone right now... he's a little better, and shakes his head at the support of this chatline.

9:31 am

Uneaixoise

same here :-)

9:31 am

Haz1558

My mother was a great tennis fan - loved the Wimbledon fortnight so I remember the Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Billy Jean King era.

9:31 am

Scarlet

*Giggling madly*... Haz, I am pulling your Irish leg... LOL

9:32 am

periwinkle

Scarlet he can have hugs from me anytime and you too of course

9:32 am

FMitch

Scarlet tell him a "Jolly good afternoon from England" then

9:32 am

Haz1558

Well, you succeeded there. I don't remember Fred Perry in his prime, nor Suzanne Lenglen, just to set matters straight.

9:32 am

periwinkle

half way through this grid and having a difficult time, going to read for a while. Reading the Kite Runner

9:33 am

Scarlet

Awwww... how sweet of you, peri. I will tell him! LOL, FMitch... I"ll remember!

9:33 am

Uneaixoise

movie was good too, peri

9:33 am

periwinkle

really, will wait til I can get it on DVD from the library, thanks Une

9:33 am

Haz1558

Scarlet, you can tell him that he's missing another soft day in the north of Ireland. We're diplomatic about our weather as well. For 'soft' read - IT'S RAINING!

9:33 am

periwinkle

bbs

9:34 am

lizmac

Hello all, I'm reading the Kite Runner too, Peri. Only just started it but promising so far!

9:34 am

Haz1558

Hello liz - are you scunnered with the weather as well?

9:35 am

Scarlet

I shall, Haz... we had a very close friend in Pennsylvania... a gorgeous, red-haired, blue-eyed lady who owned a grocery... she would melt him with her "soft" weather reports... I'll tell him about your message, too.

9:35 am

FMitch

Well I must away, er4 is licking me up in 25 mins and I have to transform myself into something presentable. TTFN and Happy Babbling.

9:35 am

Judi

*scunnered* ??

9:35 am

lizmac

Well scunnered Haz!

9:35 am

Haz1558

Bye FMitch - have a good evening!

9:36 am

lizmac

Judi, sickened

9:36 am

Haz1558

Scunnered is a great Scots word. It means fed up or bothered. As in 'this rain would scunner you'

9:36 am

Judi

Ah. Live and learn.

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

back

9:37 am

Haz1558

And if you want to describe an awkward or annoying male, call them a hallion or a guipin. You can get great satisfaction from the initial g in gulpin.

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

*imagining a scotman saying "gulpin*

9:38 am

Judi

Oh, believe me, Haz. We have plenty of adjectives for males in the states.

9:38 am

Scarlet

OH, such delightful words...

9:38 am

Scarlet

Until another day, FMitch...

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

bye, fmitch

9:39 am

Haz1558

They are great words, it would be a shame to see them die out.

9:39 am

Scarlet

We just resort to calling them chowderheads...

9:40 am

Haz1558

Anyway, the softness of the day has eased somewhat so I'll get the canine ready for a bit of exercise. Nice to see you all - back later!

9:40 am

Scarlet

Until later, Haz... thank you for the wonderful laughter.

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

later, haz

9:41 am

Haz1558

You're welcome (only 3 more weeks or so until Bjorn sees me in the crowd and realises what he's been missing all this time)

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, my icon is rather - shall i say - boring?

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

indiscretions?

9:44 am

Scarlet

I am a fan of a blond Orlando Bloom WITH the pointy ears... yes, TO... stealing another's man right under her nose... we will pay dearly.. the chief has some powerful friends!

My pleasure, Scarlet.

1:56 pm

periwinkle

Scarlet, is your e-mail working?

1:57 pm

Scarlet

I havent' checked it for about four hours, peri... I will in a bit, though... daughter has to ratchet some settings on it... I think I have a spam overload... it's acting so weird.

1:57 pm

Scarlet

I know that trying to watch a news' video the other night had something to do with its crankiness...

1:58 pm

Scrabbler

Chug-a-chug-a-chug....almost halfway.

1:58 pm

Scarlet

Rock and roll, Scrabbler!

1:59 pm

periwinkle

Scarbbler haven't seen you on Noggin lately

1:59 pm

periwinkle

*Scrabbler* even

1:59 pm

Scarlet

Oh, glad you said that, peri... I have read of you and Scrabbler playing that, but I cannot find the link on Facebook... where can I find it, please?

2:00 pm

periwinkle

under applications in the upper right corner, I think

2:00 pm

periwinkle

or you can go to my page and go down to the bottom and click on play noggin with me,

2:01 pm

Scarlet

Thank you so much, peri... I will check it out later tonight after the more important things happen with this Dell...

2:01 pm

2:01 pm

periwinkle

and getting tired of this grid

2:01 pm

periwinkle

I sent you an e-mail earlier this week Scarlet, guess you did not get it

2:01 pm

Scrabbler

I was there last night, Periwinkle. Noggin and Scramble became less addictive after I proved I could consistently place in the top 10.

2:01 pm

carleekat

i have 152 to go... me thinks me not finishing this one

2:01 pm

Scarlet

It might be there if I could access the incoming mail, peri...

2:01 pm

lil*monkey

g'day all, and TGIF!!!!!!

2:02 pm

Scarlet

Monkeyshines!! :-)

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

2:02 pm

periwinkle

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, TGIF!

2:03 pm

Scarlet

2:03 pm

Scrabbler

I need a break, BBS.

2:03 pm

Scarlet

Scrabs, do you ever get a throbbing headache from napping, especially when it's a short nap?\

2:07 pm

carleekat

I DO I DO

2:07 pm

carleekat

( I've been facebooking with my son )

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

No, but I awaken groggy and then the rest of the day is messed up. (I am checking in while on other sites.)

2:10 pm

Scarlet

It always hits me hard... as though it's a hangover, splitting headache... I guess the brain does not like to be teased with a little of what you need a lot of...

2:11 pm

carleekat

pretty much same here red..unless i get 2 hours...then I am just a bear

2:12 pm

Scarlet

I don't get cranky, kattie... but I end up wishing that I had not even tried to rest... sometimes I just fall asleep and the &$#* phone rings... then I am smacked between the eyeballs.

2:12 pm

carleekat

if I only get 10-20 mins..it hurts..if I get 2 hours I am SUCH a complete *itch

2:12 pm

Scarlet

Then wander into the kitchen for some all-purpose cure-all of a strong cup of coffee...

2:13 pm

Scarlet

Arggghhh, kat.. I guess we are doomed to be zombies most of our lives...

2:13 pm

Haz1558

I don't know whether I want to be associated with zombies..

2:14 pm

Scarlet

Haz, welcome back. Here, it is inevitable!

2:14 pm

Haz1558

They never look very cheerful.

2:14 pm

carleekat

Haz1558

2:17 pm

2:18 pm

carleekat

i think...this time it is Urs haz

2:19 pm

Haz1558

8.19 - FMitch first mentioned smarties.

2:19 pm

Haz1558

That started me off.

2:19 pm

carleekat

ok..then I suppose it is FM's....

2:19 pm

Haz1558

Hurrah! She really IS to blame!

2:19 pm

carleekat

( go figure...probably a first )

2:20 pm

carleekat

( I like the smarties as an Icon tho..its rather "cheerful" )

2:20 pm

Haz1558

Yes - bright, shiny colours and chocolate lurking.

2:21 pm

ch1212

Good heavens -- I left the chat this morning around 8:30 a.m. whilst Haz and others were discussing those Smarties candies... and the conversation is still going on? My, my ...

2:21 pm

Smarties RULE Babble

Scarlet

Hey, sis! :-)

2:22 pm

ch1212

Scarlet!!! (flies over and HUGS!) How are you?

2:22 pm

Haz1558

But there's been other things happening in between! In fact, I'm just reading the chat log to see what's been happening. No more babies born?

2:22 pm

carleekat

and on THAT note... ( lalalalalala ) am off...daughter will be home...we can sneak in a couple episodes of Gilmore Girls before supper

2:22 pm

Scarlet

{{{Hugs back}}} Dandy-fine, ch... and you and beloved?

2:22 pm

carleekat

2:22 pm

Haz1558

Now Gilmore Girls are new to me, I'll have to google it to find out about it.

2:22 pm

Scarlet

OHMIGOSH, kattie.. you are relentless, AND it drives himself crazy!

2:23 pm

lynxxx

2:23 pm

Haz1558

Bye carlee - may the smarties be with you.

2:23 pm

Scarlet

See you soon, lynxxx!

2:23 pm

ch1212

We are so blessed, truly. We celebrated our 'fortieth' (month) last week and I surprised him with 40 candles lit and a special dinner. I know you understand :)

2:23 pm

Haz1558

Congratulations lynxxx - enjoy your walk.

2:23 pm

Scarlet

Oh, sis...you know my heart is smiling tenderly now...

2:24 pm

ch1212

{{ hugs }} Now I'm going to dive back into the grid

2:24 pm

Scarlet

Likewise... I have been a slug today with this little beastie...

2:24 pm

Uniquity

Good afternoon babbletopia...

2:25 pm

Haz1558

Never compare yourself to a slug, Scarlet.

2:25 pm

Haz1558

Good afternoon Uniquity.

2:25 pm

Scarlet

All right, Haz. Hello again, Uni!

2:25 pm

Uniquity

Why is Red in a slug suit?

2:26 pm

Scarlet

I have been lax, overly yakky and not attuned to finding my last 29 words, Uni.. ipso facto: creature whose name I have been warned not to utter.

2:26 pm

Haz1558

PUT THE SALT DOWN!

2:27 pm

Scarlet

OH, noooooooooooo... not the s a a l l l tttt

2:27 pm

ch1212

BACK AWAY FROM THE SALT Scarlet... veeerrryyy slowwwwly, of course :D

2:27 pm

Uniquity

But Hazel, I need to put some salt and pepper on my future supper **whistles innocently**

2:27 pm

Scarlet

And beer pools too... this is an ignoble end to a glorious Babbling career....

2:27 pm

Karys

good heavens....whatever is happening here ??!!

2:28 pm

Scarlet

Karys.. this life is circling the drain... they are armed with salt...

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Think of your sodium levels, Uniquity, I beg you and LEAVE THE SALT ALONE.

2:28 pm

Karys

salt ? salt ?...whats with the salt ?...pepper anyone ?

2:28 pm

Uniquity

Still boozing in here, huh? You haven't got Lilli and Frog drowned yet?

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Hello Karys! Scarlet is in imminent danger, you may not want to watch. This could be messy.

2:28 pm

ch1212

I'LL save you Scarlet! Down, you beast, down I say! (beating back the salt shaker)

2:28 pm

Karys

Scarlet...why ?

2:28 pm

Uniquity

What about garlic salt?

2:29 pm

Karys

what has poor scarlet done ?

2:29 pm

Karys

....why does she need seasoning ?

2:29 pm

Scarlet

Karys... salt kills slugs, and I have likened myself to the critters... so, there may be a big mess soon...

2:29 pm

Haz1558

No doubt the French use garlic salt for their slugs.

2:29 pm

Scarlet

Look at my wonderful sister... armed to the teeth defending my honor...

2:30 pm

Uniquity

Alright, I think the official police chief of babble had best step in and make a declaration (porribly from the law of Englang) that salt henceforth be banned in chat. Forevermore!

2:30 pm

ch1212

I would have thought the Translyvanians used garlic salt for theirs...

2:30 pm

Karys

scarlet, why would you do that... I am sure you are beautiful ( I cannopt say the same about slugs)

2:30 pm

Haz1558

Okay, smarties in, salt out. By order.

2:30 pm

Uniquity

porribly - possibly
Englang - England.

2:31 pm

ch1212

(sighs with relief) Haz has saved us all!

2:31 pm

Scarlet

ch1212... they use the pure stuff to ward off vampires... I am SAVED by the edict of Chief Haz!!

2:31 pm

Karys

please may I have the orange ones Haz ?

2:31 pm

Uniquity

Three cheers for Haz...Hip hip!

2:31 pm

Haz1558

Now Karys, that's the equivalent of asking for the last rolo.

2:31 pm

ch1212

Hooray!

(And now I truly am diving back into this grid)

2:31 pm

Uniquity

Mmm...rolos. Good thing I am eating strawberries so as to avoid being tempted by chocolate

2:31 pm

Karys

ooooh...I suppose it is a bit

2:32 pm

Haz1558

And peace descended upon babble land again....

2:32 pm

Uniquity

**is quiet peasanty country folk**

2:32 pm

Scarlet

Rolos.... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

2:33 pm

Karys

'cept I want the orange ones !

2:33 pm

Haz1558

They're good, aren't they?

2:33 pm

Haz1558

If you're really good, Karys, I'll think about it.

2:33 pm

Karys

always been my favourite, and just think how old I am !

2:33 pm

Uniquity

What is we paint over the brown ones with orange, Karys?

2:34 pm

Karys

Haz... always been known to be a good girl, me !

2:34 pm

Karys

Uni...just not the same...I can tell

2:34 pm

Haz1558

This is true, Karys. You're doing well with brownie points so far.

2:34 pm

Uniquity

Don't trust Haz, she lies. Syas she's thinking, but really...she is stealing the red ones.

2:35 pm

Haz1558

UNiquity - the orange ones have ORANGE flavoured chocolate.

2:35 pm

Uniquity

Oh my dear. Red = orange. I cannot even type the right words now!

2:35 pm

Karys

she can have the red ones....she can have my red ones

2:35 pm

Scarlet

No red ones left? Hmmph! *snit* *off to Babble with a unibrow*

2:35 pm

Haz1558

I've never really warmed to the blue ones. I don't know why.

2:36 pm

Karys

weent to the M & M store in NY....not the same as smarties tho@

2:36 pm

Scarlet

Anti all yellow ones.

2:36 pm

Uniquity

I always ate pink and purple together. Before I could eat them, I had to sort them all out by colour...eat the colour I had the most of first.

2:36 pm

Scarlet

Like Necco wafers.

2:37 pm

Karys

oh yes Uni....even way back when I was a little girl, they had to be sorted first

2:37 pm

Haz1558

Nothing is the same as smarties.

2:38 pm

Haz1558

Does no-one else just shovel them in?

2:38 pm

Uniquity

Smarties are delicious. I love going to the candy store and bulk-binning some smarties

2:38 pm

Karys

I am a bit greedy with them, I have to confess

2:38 pm

Haz1558

Phone...

2:38 pm

Uniquity

I'm not much for sharing smarties...

2:39 pm

Scarlet

Then all the truffles are save with me, Uni.

2:39 pm

Scarlet

*safe*

2:39 pm

Karys

it's the cramming into the mouth that I have to contend with

2:39 pm

Scarlet

I have a cramming problem with Wintergreen Lifesavers...

2:40 pm

Karys

scarlet...you are very welcome to the truffles....I have some here from Christmas

2:40 pm

Scarlet

Lindt's Karys... Asheville, NOrth Carolina, ASAP!!

2:40 pm

Karys

OH SCARLET !!!...how could you !!!

2:40 pm

Uniquity

Double scotch mints. Adored them since i was very small. Got heartburn from eating too many once!

2:40 pm

Uniquity

Lindt...oh delicious! I have some right now

2:41 pm

Scarlet

Old, stale, chocolate bloom... doesn't make any differnce... what is a scotch mint, Uni?

2:41 pm

Karys

on their way as we speak !

2:41 pm

Scarlet

Lindt's are my major sin in this life... *shameless*

2:41 pm

Scarlet

Yahoo and thank your generous heart, Karys!!

2:41 pm

Haz1558

So I'm not the only crammer. I thought I had named and shamed myself only.

2:42 pm

Karys

yes but, scarlet, can I have you orange smarties please ?...or at least one or two

2:42 pm

Scarlet

It must be a Babble virus, Haz... this chatline tends to bring out our most secret vices...

2:42 pm

Uniquity

Scotch mints are chewy on the inside, hard shell on outside. Delicious!!

2:42 pm

Karys

ooo...are you a crammer too Haz ?

2:42 pm

Scarlet

ALL of them, Karys... in return post, ASAP!

2:42 pm

cybernan

2:43 pm

Uniquity

Hello Cyber

2:43 pm

Haz1558

The first batch are crammed in, chewed heartily. After that, there's a degree of melting allowed.

2:43 pm

Karys

2:43 pm

Karys

Hello Cyber

periwinkle

2:44 pm

Flask1

hi all again....clue please for or6/18 please?

2:44 pm

Haz1558

Yes, indeed. It's not very dignified to be emptying tubes of sweets into your mouth in front of people.

2:44 pm

Karys

oooo...that sounds good peri !...hello

2:44 pm

rolin

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz..... cos i can again..woohoo

2:44 pm

2:44 pm

Karys

2:44 pm

Flask1

2:44 pm

Scarlet

2:45 pm

rolin

2:45 pm

Karys

good for you rolin !!!

2:45 pm

Haz1558

Yes. I have been known to devour a box at a sitting.

2:45 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, Flask.

2:45 pm

Uniquity

Rolin, you have a new keyboard?

2:45 pm

rolin

2:45 pm

Karys

2:45 pm

Scarlet

Cadbury... it must be getting toward the Easter season soon enough...

2:45 pm

rolin

i do uni.... my partner put it in for me this afternoon...and all under warantee

2:46 pm

Scarlet

Oh, Karys, so do I. She is acting very strangely lately and won't eat much either...

2:46 pm

Karys

an unhappy, very noisy , sad cat !!!

2:46 pm

Karys

this one had an operation on Tuesday

2:46 pm

Uniquity

Yay! It is so good to have a working keyboard

2:47 pm

Haz1558

What did the cat have done?

2:47 pm

rolin

it was so unbelievably frustrating...i ended up using character map to type in...lol

2:47 pm

Karys

an 'Aural Oblation' Haz

2:48 pm

periwinkle

they were on sale too, Scarlet $1.99 a box

2:48 pm

Scarlet

Awwww, Karys...poor baby.

2:48 pm

periwinkle

poor kitty, Karys

2:48 pm

Haz1558

Poor cat. Poor you!

2:49 pm

Karys

he is a poor baby Scarlet...being male doesn't help does it?... just the the human male !!

2:49 pm

Scarlet

Nice buy, peri!

2:49 pm

Karys

aaah...thank you Haz....you understand !!

2:49 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Karys...

2:50 pm

Haz1558

Oh I do. Lots of the time when people ring up at night, it's for reassurance that their pet will be okay - they sometimes act strangely after surgery.

2:50 pm

Scarlet

ARe there metal stitches with which to contend, Karys... or dissolvable ones?

2:50 pm

Karys

I do feel sorry for him tho'...he has the lampshade and he can't go out

2:50 pm

Scarlet

That answers that!

2:50 pm

periwinkle

who, Haz, the people or the pets LOL

2:51 pm

Haz1558

Well, if he did go out, who knows what would happen to all those satellites?

2:51 pm

Scarlet

LOL, peri...

2:51 pm

Haz1558

Some of the people behave VERY strangely!

2:51 pm

Karys

he has to have his stitches removed on Thursday next Scarlet

2:51 pm

Scarlet

He'll be a much happier camper then, Karys...

2:52 pm

Haz1558

Just as long as you don't let him know before Thursday that HE'S GOING BACK TO THE VET.

2:52 pm

Karys

I have got him a puppy collar and lead to take him out for a little fresh air, I can't make up my mind whether it's a help or not !

2:52 pm

Scarlet

My old gal just seems to be shutting down... it may be getting close to her time, and I can't think of that right now.

2:53 pm

Karys

you are right there Haz...we had to cancel two appointments because he took off !

2:53 pm

cybernan

clue icon posted :)

2:53 pm

Karys

How old is she Scarlet ?

2:54 pm

Haz1558

Many's the phone call I've taken - the cat was supposed to come in today BUT.

2:54 pm

Karys

that's just the phone call I made Haz !

2:55 pm

periwinkle

me too Karys

2:55 pm

Karys

I felt so guilty !

2:55 pm

periwinkle

Scarlet, give your kitty a gentle hug from me and Zoe-Anne

2:55 pm

Haz1558

It's not a problem - they understand that cats can be perverse. For goodness sake they once lost a pig in the old surgery.

2:56 pm

Karys

LOL...LOL...a whole pig ?

2:56 pm

Haz1558

Do you want to hear the story?

2:56 pm

periwinkle

25 left, taking yet another break, bbs

2:56 pm

periwinkle

yes please, Haz, before I take my break

2:56 pm

Haz1558

Bye peri.

2:56 pm

Karys

pl;ease

2:57 pm

Haz1558

Okay, here we go.

2:57 pm

Karys

are we sitting comfortably ?

2:57 pm

Haz1558

Over twenty years ago, in the old surgery near the centre of town, farmers used to bring their pigs to be operated on - hernias being a big problem.

2:58 pm

Haz1558

One somehow managed to escape. It was finally located in an underground waterpipe at the bottom of the street.

2:58 pm

Haz1558

The vets decided that they would call upon the services of the local animal charity inspector who had been the bane of their life for years.

2:59 pm

Haz1558

He duly arrived, got into what resembled a diver's uniform and ventured into the pipe, the vets gathering around to give encouragement.

2:59 pm

Haz1558

The inspector finally emerged with the pig, flushed with triumph and something a great deal smellier.

3:00 pm

Haz1558

From that time on, security systems were set in place so that the same thing wouldn't happen again. It didn't manage to get into the local paper - thank goodness!

3:00 pm

Karys

Haz...you paint a brilliant picture !!!!

3:00 pm

periwinkle

thanks for the story, Haz, bbs

3:00 pm

Scarlet

Phaedra is either 16 or 17 now, Karys. Thank you for the Zoe-Anne hug peri. LOLOLOL, Haz... well done!

3:00 pm

Karys

it sounds like 'the good old days' to me !

3:00 pm

Haz1558

Veterinary life has its lighter moments.

3:01 pm

Haz1558

Okay, peri, see you later.

3:01 pm

Karys

we had Suli til she was 23 Scarlet...so don't give up on her

3:02 pm

Scarlet

I never give up, Karys... she has been my companion much longer than I have been married to beloved... LOL

3:02 pm

Karys

Haz...is your a 'posh' surgery or a country vet ?

3:02 pm

Karys

LOL scarlet....we know where your loyalties lie

3:03 pm

Scarlet

Haz, you must write of these things... a complilation of those "lighter sides"... few have your talent and articulation for conveying a good story.

3:03 pm

Scarlet

*compilation*

3:03 pm

Haz1558

It's pretty up to date - built from scratch about 15 years ago to replace rather ramshackle premises. It's pretty modern as far as treatments go, but old-fashioned in the care and attention given.

3:03 pm

Karys

I agree there Scarlet

3:03 pm

Haz1558

There are some stories in BabAnon, Scarlet, under Animal Magic.

3:04 pm

Scarlet

Let us remind Haz periodically, Karys... I shall take a look some day, Haz... these are precious recollections!

3:05 pm

Karys

That sounds good Haz.....we have a choice here, one is very 'posh' costs a fortune and is very 'up' itself !!!...the one we use is on a farm and they are into horses, there, a spade is very much a shovel !

3:05 pm

Haz1558

We have a website! www.grovevets.co.uk - mainly aimed at the small animal clientele.

3:06 pm

FMitch

I remember the great story about the farmer being ill in bed and the goat being brought to him for milking .. or something long those lines, Haz?
Evening All :)

3:06 pm

Karys

must have a look there then !

3:06 pm

Haz1558

I don't think we could be accused of being posh, although the vets do aim for high standards.

3:06 pm

Haz1558

Hello FMitch - nicely timed!

3:06 pm

Uniquity

Good evening Fmitch!

3:07 pm

Karys

yes but that's the vet, not the red carpet and the easy chairs Haz

3:07 pm

Scarlet

Thank you, Haz... well worth checking in on! LOL, FMitch... such timing!

3:07 pm

Karys

hi there Mitch...long time !

3:07 pm

FMitch

Hello and hello.
Been watching Corrie, sob sob. Vera Duckworth has "left the building"

3:08 pm

Karys

oh dear someone told me she was 'going'

3:08 pm

Haz1558

I know. I was 'ducking' in and out as well, FMitch. The 'Old Rectory' may be changing hands.

3:08 pm
