12:34 am

Uneaixoise

12:35 am

PAV3

*hugs lady* It sucks, hun, but could have been a lot worse.

4:13 am

kje

i agree with bf... my friend's daughter scratched my car on saturday while i was teaching her to parallel park... she is much more upset than I was... it IS just a car

4:13 am

herinfernallady

I tried to drive into our drive straight forward really and i fluff it

4:15 am

kje

herin - stick with it!!! but maybe next time have someone with you?

4:15 am

herinfernallady

Um we have no bumper

4:15 am

But you are a good one, kje, some people would get mad.

4:16 am

kje

everytime you mention bf, herin, i think he is a keeper... good for him for not getting upset!

4:16 am

sprite

good idea, next time with somebody to coach you and maybe hit the brake in time. Very good thing about lesson cars, 2 brakes.

4:16 am

herinfernallady

Yes he is a keeper. He said it was an accident and was an idiot to let me do it

4:17 am

kje

even without the second brake, it just helps to have someone there that can direct you so that you know what you are doing wrong

4:17 am

herinfernallady

I did hit the brake but kind of freaked and hit the go button too

4:17 am

kje

my brother hit our house once when we were younger... drove right into the corner and knocked out a ton of bricks...

Hobbit: *launches self from bank* *SPLASH*
Me: *not laughing as spaniel vanishes under water*
Hobbit: *a minute or two later, soaking wet* I meant to do that

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Haha. Nice replay of the event.

8:23 am

harpjane

good morning

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jane. How are you doing?

8:23 am

Atalante

it was very very amusing. She was highly affronted and barked at the river in retribution

8:24 am

NonoNanette

good morning Scrabbs and Jane

8:24 am

harpjane

good scrab, thanks\

8:24 am

harpjane

nono is that a ragdoll siamese?

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Funny. Animals can be very funny. I was able to sleep in this AM so I slept til 9 instead of 6 and I heard the bunnies tossing their tin plates around---"MOM! I want my morning salad NOW!"

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nono

8:25 am

NonoNanette

i have no idea jane its just a tag that someone made for me

8:25 am

harpjane

i wanna pet her, nanette!

8:26 am

NonoNanette

lol Scrabbs, I bet they were hungry too

8:26 am

Atalante

hobbit actually let me sleep till 8:30 this morning too!

8:27 am

NonoNanette

it does look like a ragdoll jane but I'm really not sure

8:27 am

Atalante

or a himalayan

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Nice Hobbit.

8:28 am

NonoNanette

thats a possibility too Ata

8:28 am

Scrabbler

I am usually off on Fridays but I have to work from 12-5 as 2 partners are on vacation this week, winter break for school kids.

8:28 am

NonoNanette

If I choose to sleep in, my Shadow will sit on the corner of the bed and meow incessantly until i get up and feed her

8:29 am

harpjane

since we were gone for 3 days our maine coons are extraordinarily affectionate, almost to the point where i can't do anything else

8:29 am

NonoNanette

they missed you jane

8:29 am

Scrabbler

We LOVE our pets and they LOVE us!

8:30 am

Anniebrook

I love Maine co4 and 5 cats are beautiful..

8:31 am

harpjane

did i use a word already?

8:31 am

Atalante

I looooove maine co4

8:31 am

harpjane

at least that gives me an idea for an icon clue.....

8:31 am

NonoNanette

they are gorgeous cats, I had one until about a year ago, but he was sooooo agressive with the other two that I had to find him another home

8:31 am

harpjane

brb with a pic of my kitty

8:31 am

Anniebrook

* not only love maine co4 cats but I think they are beautiful...trying to correct last sentence

8:33 am

Uniquity

Whoa, a maine co4 was aggressive??? Ours was not pure, but the sweetest cat EVER.

8:33 am

Anniebrook

ye4, jane, you did. >>>>>off to the PB..coffee and croissants in there for you

8:33 am

NonoNanette

Uni, he was very loving and good with people but he was constantly harassing the two female cats who were much older

8:33 am

Scrabbler

Jane didn't know co4 was in the grid. Let's give her a pass.

8:34 am

Uniquity

Ah, he had a problem with authority? :)

8:34 am

Anniebrook

scrabs, okay, but only this time...i'm getting tough

8:34 am

Anniebrook

Scrabs, How are all the bunnies?

8:34 am

Atalante

My favourite cat in literature was a maine co4

8:34 am

NonoNanette

He really needed to be in a home where he was the only pet and got all the attention and is doing much better now

8:35 am

Uniquity

My favourite cat in literature can leave its smile behind!

8:37 am

Atalante

he was a cool cat too

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi Uni.

8:38 am

Atalante

my fav cat in literarure was called Marcel La Plume though. best name ever!

8:38 am

Scrabbler

My bunnies are sweet and cute, Annie.

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Corner E?

8:39 am

Uniquity

I prefer my Emma Frost...who will be going to Lori tomorrow or the next day :(

8:39 am

Atalante

awwww :(

8:39 am

Atalante

for the dreaded op?

8:40 am

Uniquity

It's the ec7 Scrabs - the most environmental sound?

8:40 am

Anniebrook

ec, vowel, dial **** (phone)

8:40 am

Scrabbler

I have a Miss B = Beatrix Potter. She is sleeping under the couch now.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

TY, Annie

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Good clue, Uni, but I only get it now that I have the word.

8:41 am

Uniquity

Yes, to become a 'lady.' No firm plans on how she is getting there though, which sucks. I am depending on a friend to follow through.

8:41 am

Anniebrook

I once had a Belgian Hare in my care for a short time and I just loved having her

8:41 am

Atalante

poor little soon-to-be-grown-up Emma!

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Bunnies are very sociable. And so much fun to watch.

8:41 am

Atalante

I would take you if I lived on the same continent!

8:42 am

Uniquity

Ah, the great continental divide :)

8:43 am

Scrabbler

BBS--Monkey Games left me 3 long messages about Walter...

8:43 am

Atalante

distinctly slowing down now

8:44 am

StephieC

good morning! does the co7/8 build off the co4/5 above it?

8:46 am

Haz1558

Yes, Stephie it does. Add men's neckwear and plural.

8:46 am

Atalante

hazzzzzzzzzzz!!

8:46 am

StephieC

thanks, co's finished!

8:47 am

Uniquity

1558!!

8:47 am

Haz1558

It is I and no mistake.

8:47 am

Atalante

Haz1558(Northern Ireland)!

8:47 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all.

8:47 am

Anniebrook

yay for Uni and Hi to Haz!

8:48 am

Uniquity

Uniquity(Canada) extends greetings to Haz1558(Northern Ireland). *curtsey*

8:48 am

Haz1558

Hello Annie!

8:48 am

Atalante

how are you and the Spanglettina today?

8:48 am

Uniquity

Whoops, no yay for Uni. Is that the point total? That would be funny...

8:48 am

harpjane

could someone clue the lone H in the bottom row?

8:48 am

Haz1558

And reciprocated greetings to Uniquity(Canada).

8:49 am

Haz1558

We are well, thank you. We have dived into no ponds, we are very boring.

8:49 am

Anniebrook

Uni, I thought you had finished but I give you Yays in advance

8:49 am

bfsog

h bottom row = sounds like something a robber does

8:49 am

pugmama763

not cold harp

8:50 am

Atalante

Hobbit is still all huffy about that. She gets very disconcerted by such strange events (even though to me they are just highly amusing)

8:50 am

Uniquity

Thanks for the faith, Annie :)

8:50 am

Uniquity

Ata - I lost a brother to a duck pond that way once. I got in trouble.

8:50 am

Anniebrook

he 4/8--heaviness

8:50 am

Haz1558

Will she need therapy, Ata, or will time cure it?

8:51 am

harpjane

thanks, gotta go figure out what's wrong with my icon now

8:51 am

Atalante

duck ponds are bad things! there were ducks involved in Hobbit splashing into the river too. ..

8:51 am

Atalante

therapy, I would think

8:51 am

Anniebrook

I must be on my way..much to be done today, bye, dear babblers

8:51 am

tceicher

i

8:51 am

Uniquity

This brother of mine (the occasional babbler, not one of Lori's) was young and leaned too far in to the pond..

8:51 am

Haz1558

I think so as well.

8:51 am

Haz1558

Bye Annie -still keeping up good habits?

8:52 am

Atalante

aaaand *splash*!

8:52 am

Haz1558

So, it was really his own fault. I hope he was packed off to bed with no gruel for supper to teach him a lesson.

8:53 am

Haz1558

Has Scrabbler disappeared entirely?

8:53 am

StephieC

ce6/7 help please?

8:54 am

Uniquity

No. I was shouted at as I didn't manage to stop him (even though I got him out so quick!)

8:54 am

Atalante

I think she's gone off to read epics from MG

8:54 am

Uniquity

Scrabbler has messages from MG re: Walter to attend to.

8:54 am

tceicher

eh

8:54 am

Scrabbler

I am back--MG sent me 3 long messages on facebook, all about Walter's latest illness.

8:54 am

Haz1558

Poor Uniquity. Sometimes there's just no justice.

8:55 am

Haz1558

Poor Scrabbler.

8:55 am

Haz1558

Anybody else wanting sympathy?

8:55 am

Atalante

Hobbit, I would think

8:56 am

Haz1558

Poor Hobbit. Deceived by a pond.

8:56 am

aebmusica

100 dollar bill, then pl....Stephie

8:56 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I have to work today, from 12-5, on my day off, because 2 partners are on vacation.

8:56 am

Uniquity

I would like extra sympathy as I have to send away the kitten love of my life. For a week or two. :(

8:57 am

Haz1558

Poor Uniquity. Poor Emma.

8:57 am

flosey

good morning everyong

8:57 am

Haz1558

That's not much fun, Scrabbler.

8:57 am

Haz1558

Good morning flosey.

8:57 am

Uniquity

You should start charging for the advice you dispense over babble, Scrabs. You would be rich!

8:58 am

Scrabbler

No, not fun, as I will have to spend 5 hrs with boss, Dr Richard Head.

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Poor Uni, you will miss your baby!

8:58 am

flosey

Oh dear Uni, that is sad, is kitten going to vet ?

8:58 am

Haz1558

Oh, so he's not one of the partners on vacation. Just think, you'll be able to write your memoirs and make a fortune.

8:59 am

Uniquity

She is going to Lori's to get to vet due to $300 savings that way.

8:59 am

StephieC

thanks, aebmusica!

8:59 am

harpjane

hello, could someone clue the top E?

9:00 am

Haz1558

ec7 - Mr Blair(ex PM) when he was in his green phase

9:00 am

harpjane

my owner is in my icon now....

9:00 am

Haz1558

Will Lori know that Emma needs regular feeding?

9:00 am

aebmusica

yw/...it is also a mayan well at Chichenitza

9:01 am

flosey

wow, quite a saving, and you know she'll be in good hands

9:01 am

Uniquity

Lori will learn that Emma takes food if not given any. Particularly human food. And her treats.

9:01 am

Atalante

go Emma!

9:01 am

Haz1558

Treats? Did I read that correctly? Treats?

9:02 am

Uniquity

She is spoiled. I can't keep up the pretence. She had the drippings of an ice cream bowl FOUR times yesterday, plus a wee piece of salmon.

9:02 am

Judi

Morning, all!

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Funny Emma!

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Hi Judi

9:02 am

Uniquity

Morning Judi!

9:02 am

Atalante

she'll look like Pandora soon!

9:02 am

Haz1558

Good gracious. The shed at Lori's is going to be a bit of a come down. Still, it'll be character building for her.

9:02 am

Haz1558

Good morning Judi!

9:03 am

Uniquity

Miss Frost is a skinny minny, thank you. Very healthy. Except the ice cream.

9:03 am

k21eyes

I need more help with the top E. Don't get the Mr Blair clue............sigh

9:04 am

Haz1558

Still, you don't want to take chances with Emma's metabolism. It can be knocked off kilter.

9:04 am

Uniquity

k21, I like to think of it as the environmentally healthy sound.. (the ec6, that is).

9:04 am

Haz1558

k21 - three letters at the start are to do with green issues, the last is Mr Blair's name, but replace the sometimes vowel with a real one.

9:04 am

Uniquity

Last time she was at Lori's, everyone gave her treats and there was an unfortunate barf incident. Hopefully they don't do that again.

9:05 am

Haz1558

Does Lori get sick easily?

9:05 am

Haz1558

It must have been upsetting for Emma to witness that.

9:05 am

k21eyes

AH! TY Haz and Uni

9:05 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, k21.

9:06 am

k21eyes

Now I can go to work in peace

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha, Hazel!

9:06 am

Uniquity

Work, pah.

9:06 am

Haz1558

Have a good day, k21.

9:06 am

k21eyes

TY you too...bye all!

9:07 am

MonkeyGames

Hi very briefly folks!

9:07 am

Judi

Sigh. Let's not talk about cat barf. Mine yacks about 2-4 times a day.

9:07 am

MonkeyGames

Can anyone clue the en's?

9:07 am

Haz1558

Then we'll not, Judi. That must be trying.

9:07 am

Judi

Poor thing. He has so many health issues.

9:08 am

Haz1558

A couple of en bring countries together in cordial agreement

9:08 am

Haz1558

There's also en5/10 - adding a Spanish aunt.

9:08 am

MonkeyGames

Oooh, thanks!

9:08 am

Haz1558

Has he always been a sickly cat?

9:09 am

MonkeyGames

My Spanish has all been replaced with Dutch... will look, though...

9:09 am

MonkeyGames

Ah, there, thanks!

9:09 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, MG. Your Spanish aunt might very well be called Maria.

9:10 am

Judi

No. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure about 7 months ago. Plus he has a thyroid condition. He takes 5 different meds a day. I think it's just a reaction to med combinations.

9:10 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, remembered that suddenly...

9:10 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, poor kitty! Give him a cuddle for me!

9:10 am

Judi

One of the meds is an anti-nausea, but it doesn't seem to do anything for him.

9:10 am

Haz1558

Poor expensive cat.

9:10 am

Judi

Thanks, Monkey. He's my baby, so we soldier on together.

9:10 am

Uniquity

Oh wow. Poor cat!

9:11 am

Haz1558

Maybe you should take the anti-nausea one so that the cleaning up is less horrible for you.

9:11 am

Judi

Eh. Cat barf doesn't bother me. We've had animals for so long, I'm desensitised to all of that type of stuff.

9:12 am

Uniquity

Kid barf = much worse.

9:12 am

Judi

Otherwise, he is happy, perky and purry. So, I can't justify the trip to the rainbow bridge yet.

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Hi MG---I read about Walter.

9:12 am

MonkeyGames

Scrabbs, saw your icon disappearing off the bottom edge as I came on-- if you're still here, just want to say thanks for putting up with me!

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, Judi, allowing an animal to enjoy life.

9:12 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, you are there!

9:13 am

Atalante

Cat poo and cat farts are much worse than cat barf

9:13 am

MonkeyGames

Sorry to have flooded you with mails.

9:13 am

Haz1558

You'll know when the time is right, and it doesn't sound like that time has come, Judi.

9:13 am

Scrabbler

I don't mind, MG. I always want to help people avoid the medical system, if possible, by doing things at home.

9:13 am

Judi

Belated congrats on getting your degree, Monkey! You rock!

9:14 am

MonkeyGames

I can understand that! Anyway, he's fallen asleep on the sofa now-- should do him some good.

9:14 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks Judi! And I've had a JOB INTERVIEW!

9:14 am

MonkeyGames

Anyway, thanks again, Scrabbs. You have enough paranoid moms to worry about without me adding to it... you're a real trooper. I appreciate it.

9:15 am

Judi

YAY! Best of luck on that!

9:15 am

MonkeyGames

Anything I can do let me know. I'm an illustrator-- want a peronal greeting card or something?

9:15 am

flosey

Wish you all the best at your job interview MG

9:15 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Judi! It would be a full time job for the Department of Justice processing police reports. I will hear back Wednesday.

9:16 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Flosey! I had the interview and I have a good feeling about it...

9:16 am

NonoNanette

I'm back again........ so many distractions this morning! I'm going nuts here

9:17 am

flosey

great MG, positive thoughts sent your way

9:17 am

Judi

That would be cool, Monkey. Then we would both have the same job!

9:17 am

MonkeyGames

(sneakily switched Dora the Explorer over to jazz radio... he's asleep...)

9:18 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

9:18 am

Scrabbler

Pleasant paranoid moms are OK with me, unlike the latest nasty woman that went ballistic when I did not fulfill her request for antibiotic treatment for her kid with a common cold.

9:18 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, I was thinking about that Judi. We could swap work stories.

9:18 am

Scrabbler

Good luck with the job search, MG!

9:19 am

bichon

Scrabs, what did you do with Ballistic Mom?

9:19 am

Judi

As I've always said, crime makes for excellent job security. Not committing crime of course. You know what I mean.

9:19 am

Atalante

ooops. I just ate a danish pastry

9:19 am

MonkeyGames

Ahhh jeez!!! I much prefer being told it'll go away if I wait it out. Some people! Lots of US folks come over here and get upset when that happens, too-- my friend was complaining last week about howhis "stupid" doctor "didn't even know how to prescribe an antibiotic".

9:20 am

MonkeyGames

I do indee. There is amassive job shortage here-- as everywhere-- except in the areas related to justice and the social security system.

9:21 am

MonkeyGames

It was just the rash that threw me this time; he usually doesn't get rashes. But if a new variant parvo is doing the rounds I feel fine about the rash. It's not like it itches or anything.

9:21 am

Judi

Uh oh. Does Walter have co7/32, Monkey?

9:21 am

Scrabbler

I tried to educate her but she came into the office 12 hrs later and my spineless partner gave her an antibiotic Rx.

9:22 am

MonkeyGames

Mind you, this complaining friend is the same one who only eats McDonalds, is very overweight, an dhas no idea why he's just been diagnosed with diabetes...

9:22 am

Scrabbler

You can't fix stupid....I remind myself of this daily.

9:22 am

bichon

Scrabs, the kid will loose out in the end when he devlops a resistance to antibiotics

9:22 am

MonkeyGames

Ooooooh, Scrabbs that makes me mad! Spineless should be fired for endangering the rest of us.

9:22 am

harpjane

es7?

9:23 am

torgone

Good morning Babble ..

9:23 am

MonkeyGames

Hee, hee Judi! No, he has either a variant of 5th and 6th disease or that AND flu according to our family doctor over the phone. He's seen lots of this this week he says.

9:23 am

Judi

Es7: es + swindle. Legal term.

9:24 am

bichon

I've never been to the MD when he doesn't say he's seen a lot of that lately

9:24 am

NonoNanette

es +ch5 to do unfairly

9:24 am

Scrabbler

My 3 partners are wimpy and just want to please the parents....so I am the hated doctor by the parents that expect antibiotics. It makes me nearly cry sometimes. Some charts have notes: Parent does not want to see Dr ___. <--- my name. And I am the one being cautious and wise.

9:24 am

harpjane

thanks

9:24 am

Judi

Don't know what 5th & 6th diseases are.

9:24 am

Scrabbler

Hi torgone

9:24 am

MonkeyGames

I have... but only for injuries, and once when I was very young a mystery tonsil-sores thing, and my chronic skin thing.

9:24 am

Judi

TOR!

9:25 am

MonkeyGames

They ar every normal and common childhood diseases we all get, Judi.

9:25 am

torgone

That's better ..

9:25 am

Scrabbler

the 5th disease = erythema infectiosum, caused by Human Parvovirus B19.

9:25 am

bichon

There's someone like that in the medical practice I go to. But, it's not because he doesn't give out antibiotics. He's just too casual about symptoms. and, he was successfully sued for misdiagnosing a patient [who died].

9:25 am

NonoNanette

jane your Maine Co4 is gorgeours! What is his name?

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Dan's puppies are getting big!

9:26 am

MonkeyGames

Ouch! I didn't sue my doctor for prescribing too much tramadol... but I might have if I'd taken any at that dose. I always look stuff up before taking. But a serious misdiagnosis... may I never see one in person!

9:26 am

Judi

Arrgh. Glad I don't have to deal with childhood diseases. Cat and dog are quite expensive enough.

9:26 am

Scrabbler

Well, kids, I have to get ready for work. Enjoy the day!

9:27 am

MonkeyGames

Here we have socialized medicine. Doesn'tcost me a thing to go to the doctor.

9:27 am

NonoNanette

have a great day Scrabs!

Hi, Peri. No trouble here.

MonkeyGames

I pay my monthly premiums and my taxes, and wasn't charged a penny for my MRI or Walter's neonatal intensive care in the early, scary days, or the dietician who's helping me break the deadlock I ht at 25 pounds lost.

9:30 am

Atalante

Nono, there are good things and bad things about all systems of medicine

9:30 am

MonkeyGames

I'm not saying it's a perfect system. But I lived over there until I was 23 and I can definitely say the medical system does work better here.

9:30 am

NonoNanette

Happy Birthday, Peri!
