1:06 am

sprite

hi MonkeyG! Just you and me today?

1:07 am

MonkeyGames

I thought at least a couple more people were still here...

1:08 am

sprite

guess I scared them off :(
So... how are you doing? And your little monkey?

1:09 am

MonkeyGames

Walter's great! Getting more intellectual every day. And I think I'm fine.... I've had heart skips since I had some instances of CO poisoning around 5 years ago, though, and they started getting more frequent and changing recently, so now I'm wearing this thing that records my heart rate when I push the button, to see if we can find out if I have a serious arrhythmia, or more likely a benign one.

1:10 am

MonkeyGames

How are you?

1:10 am

MayneGuy

hi everyone. the grid seems easier tonight, not much monkeytyping so far.

1:10 am

jillibus

hi sprite and monkey

1:11 am

jillibus

I was away from the keyboard for a bit

1:11 am

MonkeyGames

Hi MayneGuy. It sort of breaks down after a while... Hi again Jilli!

1:11 am

jillibus

hi MGuy too

1:11 am

sprite

wow, that is no fun, hun. I hope it will prove to be totally benign and easily remedied. I am coping. Need to find a good way to deal with my sob father and his showing up from out of nowhere, but I think I am almost ready to act.

1:11 am

sprite

Hey MGuy, and hi jilli! :)

1:12 am

MonkeyGames

Oh dear! If there's anything I can do let me know!

1:12 am

sprite

errrr get into his little nasty mind and finally make him SEE? lol.

1:12 am

MayneGuy

hi jilli and sprite

1:13 am

MonkeyGames

That trick never works! Well, just know I'm sending supportive thoughts...

1:14 am

sprite

that is even beter, MonkeyG :)
Better karma as well, lol. I think I will write him a letter in which I will tell him what he has been to me, and what it has done to me. Get it out of my system for once. It will not help for his side of the story, of course, but it will be good for me to TELL him at least once.

1:15 am

MonkeyGames

It really helped me when I did that with Mom.

1:15 am

MayneGuy

hi monkeygames. sorry the chat stops on my computer, had to refresh

1:15 am

sprite

ah, that is great to know. I have the feeling it will be good for me, but not everyone agrees.

1:15 am

sprite

wb MGuy

1:15 am

MonkeyGames

Of course, moving across the ocean helped our relationship as well.

1:16 am

sprite

roflol... ok, I will suggest he does that

1:16 am

loredana

hello Babblers

1:16 am

sprite

hiya lobo :) *hug*

1:16 am

loredana

yay princess hugs

1:16 am

MonkeyGames

Try to sell him on New Zealand; it's sufficiantly far away.

1:16 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Lore!

1:16 am

jillibus

hi lore

1:16 am

loredana

hi monkey

1:17 am

loredana

1:17 am

loredana

hello jilli hugs

1:17 am

sprite

beautiful icon, jilli :D

1:18 am

MonkeyGames

No, I know people in Iceland.... Ummmm, Chad it is.

1:18 am

sprite

but I'd love you and Kiwi to meet my father, lobo! You could have such a WONderful talk with him :)
Ok, I confess, I am angry.

1:19 am

loredana

what has your father done anyway? why be angry?

1:19 am

jillibus

thanks, sprite :)

1:19 am

Hugabugs

Hi everyone

1:20 am

loredana

huga hugs

1:20 am

sprite

to keep it short, he is the one that gave me PTSS, which I am fighting until this very day.

1:20 am

sprite

hi Hugs! *hugs Hugs*

1:20 am

MonkeyGames

Nasty. My mom gave me the depression which I got rid of again many years later. Many years.

1:20 am

jillibus

PTSS?

1:21 am

sprite

post traumatic stress syndrom, jilli

1:21 am

MonkeyGames

So I know where you're coming from. Hang in there. Remember YOU'RE the important one, he can go to hell.

1:21 am

loredana

princess ptss?? sorry sprite if he has upset you tell him so and do not allow him to get you angry again hugs babe

1:21 am

jillibus

Just figured that out, sprite -- sorry

1:22 am

Hugabugs

Hey Sprite, How are ya?

1:23 am

sugar

areae

1:23 am

loredana

hello sugar

1:23 am

sprite

no problem, jilli, shouldn't use the abbrev, it has become too familiar to me. It is the disease that soldiers can suffer from after war. It appears I have been so totally frightened to death during my childhood that my nervous system reacts to everything as if it is deadly dangerous. Simple sounds, movements and situations put me into flee-or-fight gear.

1:23 am

jillibus

oops. sugar!

1:23 am

sprite

lol... hi sugar

1:23 am

MayneGuy

jilli I like your hummingbird. Did you snap the photo yourself?

1:23 am

loredana

huga you got things sorted with that crap that was streamlining

1:24 am

Hugabugs

no lore, I haven't

1:24 am

sprite

lobo: thanks hun, that is where I am aiming to go. Still lack a lot of wisdom to really pull it off though. Still too much hurt and, most importantly, lack of recognition of what has happened.

1:24 am

jillibus

no, MGuy -- got it from Google Images. I don't think it's one of the varieties we get here

1:24 am

Hugabugs

the week was spent taking care of Britt after her surgery

1:24 am

sprite

what is going on, Hugs? Nasty business?

1:25 am

loredana

you take care huga dont let them walk over you huga hugs for you

1:25 am

MonkeyGames

OK, that's WAY worse than my mom. Sprite, this may sound silly, but have you looked into what herbal supplements might help with the physiological sode? I'm not one of these "herbs before modern medicine" people but I do feel the whole area is neglected. Had some very good luck with supplements I tracked down for a lady at my work having trouble with neurological medication side effects.

1:26 am

Hugabugs

I was laid off at work. After putting in over 400 hours of overtime... getting them thru 2 year ends, and a government tax audit... in just 8 months

1:26 am

sprite

I will, lobo. That is one of the reasons for the letter. I must let him know that he cannot just walk back into my life as if nothing happened.

1:26 am

MonkeyGames

Ah jeez, hugs!

1:26 am

MonkeyGames

That's right, Sprite, he can't. The only one whoi can make that decision is you and I think you're making the right one.

1:27 am

sprite

oh darn Hugs! That is soooooo unfair! Am so sorry for you! Stupid asses!

1:27 am

Hugabugs

I finished everything on July 4th. Took a week of vacation, and when I came back on the Monday morning, they laid me off. Said they were streamlining

1:28 am

sprite

streamlining their brains, indeed. How ungrateful. And what about Britt?

1:28 am

Hugabugs

she had emergency surgery... acute appendicitis

1:28 am

loredana

wonderful princess that is what you must do ... stay strong and donot allow him to emotionally blackmail you ... we love you sprite and will always be here for you you are special and no one is entitled to treat you badly... says lobo with a big lick'

1:28 am

MonkeyGames

What she said!

1:29 am

MonkeyGames

Oh dear, Hugs! Is she doing OK now?

1:29 am

sprite

*cuddles lobo behind her fuzzy ears*
Thanks hun :) Will keep that in mind, and will be strong and clear.

1:29 am

sprite

good grief, Hugs. That is a lot to cope with. How is she doing now? And how are you?

1:29 am

sprite

thanks MonkeyG :)

1:30 am

MonkeyGames

Oops, there's Walter! Back later!

1:30 am

Hugabugs

She's just about back to normal. She was a real trooper

1:30 am

loredana

it never rains does it only pours

1:31 am

sprite

hi Walter, bye MonkeyG *hug*

1:31 am

loredana

later monkey

1:31 am

sprite

yay for Britt. And how is Hugs?

1:32 am

Hugabugs

I'm ok. Can't stand the idea of going thru all those interviews and applying for jobs again

1:33 am

sprite

I can imagine, Hugs. Here's my wish for you: that THE job will be among the very first you try for, that the interview will be pleasant and that you will feel appreciated there much more and much longer.

1:34 am

loredana

yes hugs i wish the same

1:34 am

Hugabugs

thank you dear sprite and lore

1:34 am

sprite

and lobo and I are strong wishers ;)

1:35 am

loredana

your welcome huga my heart goes out to you and ask that the perfect job with the perfect employer and the perfect salary package are on way to you

1:35 am

loredana

sure are princess

1:36 am

Hugabugs

that would be wonderful. I just feel so used and abused after this last episode

1:36 am

loredana

huga its a privilledge to know you ... you have had some really hard knocks and you just get up there and keep on keeping on how inspiring thankyou

1:37 am

sprite

small wonder, Hugs, you WERE. And the sad thing is, that it tends to hurt your feelings of self esteem, in stead of just making clear to you they did not deserve you at all.

1:37 am

Hugabugs

*blush* aww geez... *sniff sniff*

1:37 am

sprite

and what lobo says. Exactly.

1:39 am

loredana

what i always tell myself when times are tough... one door closes and another one opens and i look forward to the experience whatever it maybe not saying its easy but it sure helps me soldier on lol

1:39 am

sprite

that is a great motto, lobo

1:39 am

Hugabugs

My Mom said almost the same thing... how I just pick myself up and keep going

1:40 am

Hugabugs

I try to keep that thought in mind too. It really does help

1:41 am

sprite

so Hugs, you are a courageous and strong woman! Be good to yourself, and gentle when necessary, and things will work out. *big hug*

1:41 am

Hugabugs

thanks so much

1:43 am

sprite

you deserve no less, Hugs.

1:44 am

2:51 am

sprite

2:51 am

joshuavorbis

i'm all set chrissie

2:52 am

joshuavorbis

it's a beautiful thing

2:52 am

ChrissieDee

hmmm, must try it with alcohol

2:53 am

joshuavorbis

i promise to be on my best behavior in the chat

2:53 am

sprite

*debates getting drunk right now to make this grid more beautiful*

2:54 am

elder

LOl.. imagine, how awful you would feel throughout the day:)

2:55 am

sprite

am not allowed to drink with my medication, lol. I think I will open Lickety and give in. What good is pride if it makes me babble all day long, right?

2:56 am

elder

Quite :0

2:56 am

joshuavorbis

ooh, just nailed the 8 letter

2:56 am

ChrissieDee

wtg josh

2:56 am

sprite

yay joshua! Well done!

2:58 am

sprite

omg, so did I. Thanks for the inspiration, joshua

2:58 am

joshuavorbis

i suppose 8/40's should typically be easy to work out

2:59 am

ChrissieDee

if I can get help with the el6 I will be at NBT and can take a break, please

2:59 am

joshuavorbis

just look for the little yellow brick road of 1pts

2:59 am

sprite

roflol @ yellow brick road. I like that phrase!

2:59 am

elder

still looking...

2:59 am

joshuavorbis

nbt?

3:00 am

ChrissieDee

no blank tiles

3:00 am

sprite

no blank tiles

3:00 am

ChrissieDee

still can't see that 8

3:00 am

joshuavorbis

ahh

3:00 am

elder

5 blank tiles ..

3:00 am

sprite

I have the eL, now for a clue

3:00 am

joshuavorbis

4 here

3:01 am

elder

i have more but of course.. no words to find lol

3:01 am

sprite

E + a music instrument is a L*re + means of transportation ***in.

3:02 am

ChrissieDee

thanks sprite, you're a star

3:02 am

joshuavorbis

can't say i would have managed that anytime soon without that clue, ty

3:03 am

sprite

*takes bow* You are very welcome :)

3:03 am

ChrissieDee

bbl ;-)

3:04 am

sprite

and the 8 is ta8. The amount of sharpness of taste would be a cryptic clue. It is a salt or ester from a certain acid.

3:05 am

joshuavorbis

my ta8 goes up around certain aromas and outdoors more than indoors

3:06 am

sprite

also a nice clue :)

3:06 am

elder

just got 8... i was fumbling around . thank you ..

3:06 am

sprite

yay elder

3:07 am

joshuavorbis

the ta8 could also be used to measure the quality of women at a bar

3:07 am

sprite

baddddd joshua

3:07 am

joshuavorbis

right, i'll shut up now

3:08 am

sprite

hehehe

3:08 am

elder

get back on your stool Josh.. !

3:09 am

joshuavorbis

at least i tried to act responsibly for a bit

3:09 am

sprite

you are doing just fine, joshua

3:10 am

elder

Josh , do you usually not behave then ? :)

3:10 am

joshuavorbis

depends on the quality of the scotch

3:11 am

elder

LOL

3:12 am

joshuavorbis

i have certainly been on the piss in the uk my share of times

3:12 am

joshuavorbis

and i'll do well not to comment about those

3:12 am

MommyKnits

hello, I am new here

3:13 am

MommyKnits

could someone tell me if there is a method to doing this

3:13 am

sprite

hi MommyKnits, welcome here.

3:13 am

joshuavorbis

good morning/afternoon/evening/night, mommyknits

3:13 am

MommyKnits

3:13 am

elder

have you ..? where? so I know to keep away:)

3:13 am

MommyKnits

It is 3:13 am sunday here :>)

3:14 am

elder

Welcome Mommy.. your doing well.

3:14 am

elder

Mommy where are you ?

3:14 am

sprite

52 words is very good, actually. Some people like having the 2nd letter, they can be found at Lickety's Babble Clues (link at the bottom of the page)

3:14 am

joshuavorbis

elder - unfortunately i have visited fine public houses in nearly every corner of england and scotland, with a few in the land of the no-vowels as well

3:14 am

MommyKnits

I am in CT

3:14 am

elder

LOl LOL

3:15 am

sprite

that is the spirit, josh

3:15 am

elder

osh, Are you in the forces ?

3:15 am

joshuavorbis

no, but i did study in london for a bit

3:15 am

elder

'Josh'

3:15 am

sprite

others like to wrestle on, Mommy, and do without 2nd letter clues. There are some good clues in the chat.

3:15 am

elder

See, that is why students get a bad press :)

3:16 am

sprite

only in some circles, elder ;)

3:17 am

MommyKnits

no not in forces, just stay at home mom

3:17 am

elder

yes, Josh's circles LOl

3:17 am

sprite

that is a whole different kind of battle, Mommy

3:17 am

joshuavorbis

i'm still a student, so there's hope for me to improve my reputation yet

3:18 am

MommyKnits

you can say that again (giggle)

3:18 am

elder

Mommy, sorry to confuse that question was for Josh,, trying t work out his drinking paths..

3:18 am

sprite

ah, you are an optimist

3:18 am

MommyKnits

oop sorry

3:18 am

elder

Josh, there is always hope :)

3:19 am

joshuavorbis

i kid, of course. my reputation is sealed. they're chiseling my tombstone as we speak

3:20 am

joshuavorbis

"here lies a man who dared make a joke about women in a chatroom full of them"

3:20 am

sprite

"Here lies joshua, a man of broadly tasted fame
as long as there was alcohol in it, he was game"

3:21 am

joshuavorbis

that zing had some sting, can i get one with lime this time?

3:21 am

elder

Amazing ! that we have not hounded on you. !

3:21 am

sprite

elder

3:22 am

sprite

3:23 am

elder

Not .. well not to day !:)

3:23 am

joshuavorbis

3:24 am

elder

3:24 am

sprite

3:24 am

joshuavorbis

leys

3:24 am

joshuavorbis

3:26 am

elder

LoriP

3:36 am

elder

Its been hard particularly as we have a Babbler who is not part of the severance party.

3:37 am

sprite

what does that mean, elder?

3:37 am

elder

loriP there are some back clues if you get desperate, low standard for me .. so apologies now . to all.

3:37 am

joshuavorbis

it means the 2nd ce6/21 is making me go mad

3:38 am

sprite

that looks like a plural of which there is no singular, josh

3:38 am

LoriP

lol elder, I'm fresh as the morning dew, so frustration is hours away.....maybe.

3:38 am

sprite

don't apologise, elder, your clues saved my skin.

3:38 am

sprite

yes Lori, and time flies when you are having fun :P

3:38 am

elder

To sever oneself from something ... to cut off.

3:38 am

joshuavorbis

sprite

3:39 am

LoriP

LoriP

3:49 am

joshuavorbis

i have a giant inflatable purple crayon

3:49 am

joshuavorbis

so to me, the purple crayon treatment sounds like bonking someone over the head with it

3:50 am

elder

and purple is such a lovely colour :)

3:51 am

elder

LoriP i have the c's if you need clues, but it might be too early for you.

7:45 am

lil*monkey

7:45 am

Scrabbler

My foster bunny, Bijou, has a large skin abscess on her back. I discovered it last night and am sick over it. Bunny Tucker had escaped from his upstairs room a few wks ago (I even have 2 gates at his doorway) and he came down here. The 2 bunnies created a fur tornado and a bite must have become infected. So, I will bring her to the vet tomorrow and she will need surgical drainage.

7:45 am

lil*monkey

there are 2 YEs and 1 YI

7:45 am

Scrabbler

ye + double cross

7:46 am

lil*monkey

i'm so sorry scrabs, but admit i am giggling over the term "fur tornado"

7:46 am

lilliann

yi is to surrender, give in

7:46 am

herinfernallady

Oh Scrabbler hugs the furry ones for me

7:46 am

Scrabbler

It's true--fur everywhere!

7:46 am

lil*monkey

7:47 am

lilliann

7:47 am

herinfernallady

We think my kitty has a slight cold

7:47 am

Scrabbler

That's how it is--chasing one another, biting fur from each other....I was running after them saying, "Stop it, stop it right now."

7:48 am

lil*monkey

just found a bunch of TE words

7:48 am

lil*monkey

scrabs, would a spray/spritzer botter of water work? (it does, for cats)

7:48 am

Scrabbler

And Tucker is about 10 lbs, Bijou is under 4, and she was the aggressor.

7:48 am

herinfernallady

Scrabbler is Tucker like this normally?

7:48 am

lil*monkey

i mean to separate the fighting

7:48 am

movieman

clue for the 8 plz

7:48 am

lil*monkey

7:49 am

herinfernallady
