herinfernallady

How are you all?

5:13 am

Sally-catlover

Cold today. Very.

I find the grid small but tricky today.

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

How was your Christmas herin?

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

m Cough. Changes box :-)

5:16 am

herinfernallady

borring and yourself?

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

We have a very quiet Christmas. We don't have this big expectation, so don't have the big downer either.

5:17 am

herinfernallady

ok

5:17 am

herinfernallady

ok

5:17 am

herinfernallady

woops.

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

I think there's an echo somewhere ...

5:18 am

herinfernallady

No that was me not paying attention. I am downloading stuff

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

You mean your whole mind isn't focussed on Babble?

5:19 am

herinfernallady

Tonight is not a whole mind night. I have had a very busy 2 days

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

A good 2 days - or just busy?

5:21 am

herinfernallady

Christmas busy with his family. Yesterday drinking and acting stupid with friends. We didn't get home till 6pm. I made ''bucket o punch''

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

Sounds tiring :-) And it's late at night now with you, isn't it. Only 11.23 am here.

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Its 1030pm. i have a few downloads left to finish

6:04 am

ExWren

Where has everybody gone?

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

I was thinking the same thing. Was it something I said? Or is everyone else just hung over.

6:10 am

ExWren

There are 104 on line, although possibly not sitting at their PC right now, maybe gone for a tea-break!

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

Well admittedly I do pop in and out, getting coffee, answering door and so on (it's a hard life being retired). Anyway, Hi there, ExWren!

6:12 am

Uneaixoise

FYI many people never sign out--like me!

6:13 am

Sally-catlover

No, I don't sign out either, unless I close my browser for some unusual reason.

Sally-catlover

Hi Scrabbler

6:18 am

Scrabbler

I have to leave for work in 20 minutes--I will have a college pre-med student with me, my veterinarian's daughter. She will make the morning more fun.

6:18 am

herinfernallady

Fun in a bad way or a good way?

6:19 am

Scrabbler

In a good way--things that have become routine and boring for me will be new and exciting for her.

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Ok

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Do I have a habit of making people go away?

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Or was it me? Or are Babblers furiously searching for words?

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

No, but I think we're the only two here.

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

I'm finding the grid a bit sticky today.

6:24 am

Uneaixoise

searching! Couldn't get into Comcast for awhile earlier . . .

6:25 am

Sally-catlover

I have 10 to go but I haven't found it easy.

6:34 am

Kallia

6:34 am

rolin

scrabbler im in exactly the same position

6:35 am

Scrabbler

There are some great deals on a web site, but I struggle even when spending over $100 on something.

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Ro, I am thinking about a mini-laptop, but there is a great deal on a 15 inch one for just $100 more.

6:36 am

Kallia

there are so many deals around right now

6:36 am

rolin

well i have a mini..a dell...but im looking at a smaller one still...the acer inspire..

9:28 am

MonkeyGames

Was lurking for just a minute resting my back after scrubbing the kitchen, but I thought I would say hello and ask for a clue for pi6, th eone after the spicy food and before the tree. Been driving me nuts!

9:29 am

9:47 am

Jellen

Good morning, Babblers!

9:47 am

9:47 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Jellen!

9:47 am

dcseain

GM, Jellen :)

9:47 am

dcseain

oh, gotcha MG

9:48 am

Jellen

How is the grid? Is it a small, nasty one?

9:48 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, Jellen, but somehow obscure and bizarre enough to be fun...

9:48 am

dcseain

small, and a bit difficult, but certainly not impossible

9:48 am

MonkeyGames

With some good words too, and plenty of Scottish Babblets.

9:49 am

Jellen

I have limited Babble time today, because my family is in town....

9:49 am

MonkeyGames

The last two are impossible. Trying to decide between asking for clues and going away for a while...

9:49 am

Jellen

Christmas again...Yay!!

9:50 am

MonkeyGames

Watching husband and Walter take the tree down. We'd usually keep it up longer but it seems to have brought hordes and hordes of aphids in from the deck which responded to the sudden rise in temp by hatching, then being unable to eat the tree and dying and falling to the coffee table.

9:50 am

Jellen

Ewwww....

9:51 am

dcseain

but you could have released lady bugs to eat them :)

9:51 am

MonkeyGames

Yup. It's got to go back onto the deck.

9:51 am

wvteach

good morning all

9:51 am

Jellen

We are unseasonably warm here...hit 70 degrees plus last night!

9:51 am

MonkeyGames

Funny, DC, but I won't do it... they'd end up out on the deck too, the ones that stayed by the tree anyway, and it's -2 C out there.

9:51 am

dcseain

morning, WV

9:52 am

Jellen

Hi, wvteach!

9:52 am

wvteach

warm sunny day here

9:52 am

MonkeyGames

We get enough of them in the house every year anyway-- they hibernate in the walls and pick the wrong side to come out in spring.

9:52 am

dcseain

here it's to be about 20C 68F today! and we had freezing rain day before yesterday

9:52 am

MonkeyGames

Hi WV!

9:53 am

MonkeyGames

This is the 100th anniversary so it'd be cool if we could hold it. People are practicing like mad at the rink, because when it's cold enough they have to declare race day at the drop of a hat.

9:54 am

Jellen

I miss having kittens...my youngest is 9...

9:55 am

dcseain

oh, may that it happens, MG!

9:56 am

MonkeyGames

It would be fun, that's for sure. Not that I'd race... about an hour on the ice and the one weak ankle starts to complain.

9:58 am

dcseain

oh, your in Frisia, MG/

9:58 am

10:00 am

aebmusica

10:01 am

MonkeyGames

I thought namesake was the one the other is named after? 'Cause in that case we're it. Yes, I like it much more here than I think I would there.

10:01 am

Jellen

Hi, musica

10:01 am
