jillibus

kazz -- I don't think your currenticon is an ambigram (see your profile!)

2:16 am

Kazzer99

no i know i need to change things but i will get a round to it - too many things all competing for my time

2:17 am

jillibus

just amused, kazz -- such pretty birds -- what kind?

2:18 am

Kazzer99

they are gold finches - mum and dad bring their babies to be feed - we are just getting into bird watching and we seen some lovely ones but not got many more pics yet

2:19 am

jillibus

I have goldfinches here but they don't look at all the same

2:20 am

jillibus

3:27 am

Andree

hi everyone

3:29 am

elder

Good morning everyone.

3:29 am

Haz1558

Good morning elder, good evening Andree.

3:29 am

Atalante

hi all!

3:30 am

elder

Hello Haz :)

3:30 am

elder

Hallo Ata :)

3:30 am

Andree

hi elder, haz and ata

3:30 am

Haz1558

Good morning Ata, unusual to see you at this time!

3:30 am

Atalante

well .... it seemed safe :)

3:30 am

elder

It's quiet in here this morning.

3:31 am

elder

Safe ?.

3:31 am

Atalante

nice people here :)

3:32 am

elder

I expect nothing less.

3:32 am

Andree

yes we are nice people here

3:33 am

Atalante

how's la glitterata, haz?

3:33 am

Haz1558

Nice people and loads of animals in the puzzle.

3:34 am

FMitch

Morning/evening all
Just waiting for the kettle to boil. Nice grid so far.

3:34 am

Haz1558

She is her usual self. She's hovering between being awake and asleep.

3:34 am

Haz1558

And a sighting of the rare FM creature as well!

3:34 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMitch, first cup of the day?

3:35 am

FMitch

LOL morning :))

3:35 am

elder

Hello FMitch :)

3:35 am

FMitch

Oh no, been up a while and already done some work. Back in a tick.

3:35 am

Atalante

FM!!!!

3:35 am

Atalante

Hobbit is busy Arranging the Paws

3:36 am

Haz1558

elder, did you know that FM has men congregated at her window these days?

3:36 am

Atalante

oh Haz, Haz, Haz, you didn't hear about the amusement yesterday. Hobbit found a live crab.

3:36 am

Haz1558

Arranging The Paws is serious stuff.

3:36 am

Andree

that must have made for some fun ata

3:37 am

Haz1558

And did the crab live or die? And did Hobbit get nipped?

3:37 am

Atalante

http://tinyurl.com/d646wm <- Hobbit versus the crab

3:37 am

Atalante

it was sooooo funny

3:37 am

Atalante

the crab definitely won

3:37 am

Atalante

and yes, hobbit got nipped. very gently, luckily

3:38 am

elder

Haz, OH, does she now . I hope this activity is not on show for the neighbours to observe. We do not need scandals here.

3:38 am

Haz1558

So, the moral of the story is, never tangle with carniverous crustaceans.

3:38 am

Haz1558

She's the talk of the neighbourhood, elder. It's quite worrying.

3:38 am

elder

Ata, amusing to watch.

3:38 am

Atalante

I think she knows that now. But it was *so* funny.

3:39 am

Haz1558

Did Hobbit not give you reproachful looks for laughing? Nothing says reproach like a spaniel in full 'pity me' mode.

3:40 am

FMitch

I turn my back for a moment and Haz starts the rumour mills rolling along I see!

LOL re Hobbit.

3:40 am

Atalante

oh yes. afterwards. and she rolled on a thornback ray in retribution

3:40 am

elder

Worrying, That sort of behaviour brings the neighbour down. Before you know houses are being sold, cameras and reporters are in abundance.

3:41 am

Andree

hi fm, no reputation left, lol

3:41 am

Atalante

and the realised that thornback rays are well named

3:41 am

Haz1558

FM, I'm known for my ability to st4/4. I have to keep up appearances.

3:41 am

FMitch

Good point Andree ;)

3:43 am

elder

FMitc, you still have time to turn this worrying situation around. If not, the least you could do is invite us round.

3:43 am

Andree

good for you fm, i don't know how old you are but we should all endevour to grow old disgracefully

3:44 am

Haz1558

I don't know if this is the sort of advice FM needs to hear.

3:44 am

elder

lol.. no encouragement required.

3:44 am

FMitch

I am a tiny bit younger than Haz but not by much *sticks tongue out in general direction of N.Ireland*

3:44 am

Haz1558

I was hoping for words of admonition, guidance, 'pull yourself together, woman' , that sort of thing.

3:45 am

elder

Would she listen ?

3:45 am

Haz1558

Well, she's getting so deaf these days.....

3:45 am

FMitch

No!

3:45 am

elder

* Giggles *

3:45 am

elder

lol..

3:45 am

Atalante

pooooor FM

3:46 am

Atalante

does that mean we can gossip about her in peace?

3:46 am

Haz1558

She's just incorri, incorig, incorriga - she won't listen to anyone.

3:46 am

Haz1558

We could gossip about her if she'd take her glasses off.

3:46 am

FMitch

We can always rely on Haz for her ca6/24.

3:46 am

Atalante

at least she doesn't lose them

3:47 am

FMitch

Ha ha ha ha

3:47 am

Haz1558

No, leave that sort of thing to me. Le sigh of enormous proportions.

3:47 am

elder

.....:)

3:47 am

Atalante

did they ever appear>

3:48 am

Haz1558

No, they are on the Police Missing list. A complete mystery as to where they have gone.

3:48 am

Atalante

how odd. definitely blame spangle

3:49 am

elder

Might be worth a body search of the men hanging around .

3:49 am

Haz1558

It's more likely to have been the husband - he's a demon for throwing things out.

3:49 am

FMitch

Perhaps you should investigate the bump under the new wallpaper ....

3:50 am

Andree

if haz starts body searching the men she will get a reputation worse than fm's

3:50 am

Haz1558

Daughter no 2 left a pair of shoes sitting on the bench in the utility room, intending to come back to clean them. They were nearly thrown out by you know who.

3:50 am

Atalante

especially while stripping

3:50 am

Haz1558

I know! I should get husband to bring home the scanner he uses for PDing cattle. That would show them up but wait, do glasses have a heartbeat?

3:51 am

FMitch

Unusual for a chap to tidy up and even think of throwing things out.

3:51 am

Atalante

you need luminol .. oh wait ... hmm

3:51 am

Haz1558

He's terribly tidy. It's an affliction I bear with gritted teeth.

3:52 am

Haz1558

If I only had a magic CSI torch all would be revealed.

3:52 am

Haz1558

A CSI torch, preferably with one of the nice CSI men on the other end. They're trained, you know.

3:52 am

Atalante

or a sonic screwdriver

3:52 am

FMitch

I thought there was one in your 'Junior Miss CSI kit' you got for Christmas?

3:53 am

Haz1558

That sounds like a drink that would do well in a sordid nightclub!

3:53 am

Haz1558

They didn't put one in, FM. They claimed that Health and Safety wouldn't permit it.

3:54 am

Haz1558

I was left with some fingerprint tape and a magnifying glass. What use is that?

3:54 am

Atalante

depends if you want to burn ants or not

3:55 am

FMitch

well seeing as you had lost your glasses I would have thought the magnifying glass would have been very useful!

3:55 am

elder

:)

3:55 am

Haz1558

I suppose so, but it's not nearly as glamorous as a magic CSI torch.

3:56 am

Andree

back later

3:56 am

Haz1558

And another thing. Why are rooms so dimly lit in America?

3:56 am

Haz1558

See you later, Andree.

3:56 am

FMitch

Bye Andree

3:57 am

elder

Bye for now Andree.

3:57 am

herinfernallady

hi

3:57 am

Haz1558

Hello herin.

3:57 am

FMitch

Hey herin

3:57 am

Atalante

hi herin

3:57 am

herinfernallady

how goes it? Ata you have to check FB in five min

3:57 am

elder

Hello Herin.

3:58 am

Atalante

lol ok

3:58 am

Haz1558

Everyone races to look over Ata's shoulder.

3:59 am

FMitch

*stop pushing Haz*

3:59 am

Haz1558

Yes, calm down, FM. You know what we learned about queuing the other day. Let the older woman go first.

4:00 am

Atalante

and the one who loses her glasses

4:00 am

FMitch

After you then Haz dear :)

4:00 am

herinfernallady

Waves

4:00 am

herinfernallady

ok i have posted it

4:00 am

Haz1558

Quit jostling in the back.

4:01 am

Atalante

very true, herin

4:01 am

elder

You can hardly hear the chat with all this pushing and shoving going on.

4:02 am

Atalante

now you're all confused, arent you??!

4:02 am

FMitch

It's all Haz's fault elder! I blame her for the fact I haven't found a single word since I started chatting.

4:02 am

Haz1558

We've never been confused. We leave that to others.

4:02 am

herinfernallady

Ok i said the people i would like to punch in the face are: Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, Brittany spears and whiney ass sorry sack emos

4:03 am

Atalante

just slightly bewildered on occasions

4:03 am

elder

lol.

4:03 am

Haz1558

Yes, but we cover it up beautifully. Smiling and looking bright covers a multitude of sins.

4:04 am

herinfernallady

Oh i have the funniest tale to tell. This am the kitty decided that the B.f should be rudely awoken by being jumped on, in the one place men do not want

4:04 am

elder

FMitch, you have to take some self responsibility.

4:04 am

FMitch

lol poor b.f

4:05 am

Atalante

Lucius or Pandora?

4:05 am

Haz1558

We've been saying this for years, elder. A babbler can babble through thick and thin, no distraction too great to put off the search for words.

4:05 am

herinfernallady

Lucius if it was Pandora he would be still in the ER

4:06 am

Atalante

lmao. I wondered that

4:06 am

elder

The exception being the trolls. Although, they do not seem to be arriving nowadays.

4:07 am

FMitch

Just wait until the summer holidays elder!

4:07 am

herinfernallady

Seriously she knows better

4:07 am

Haz1558

I know. It's great, isn't it?

4:07 am

Atalante

they'll all turn up now you've mentioned them!

4:08 am

Haz1558

So, we're not to mention anything undesirable.

4:08 am

elder

We will beat them down.Bless them.

4:08 am

Haz1558

Grids of 20 words are not to be spoken about.

4:09 am

FMitch

I ws hoping for a slightly larger grid today *sigh*

4:09 am

herinfernallady

Why do we have small grids i cant procrastinate

4:09 am

Atalante

grids of 20 words arent allowed

4:09 am

Haz1558

Maybe we should have a choice every day of a small, medium or large grid. That way the chat log would be really interesting.

4:10 am

Atalante

anyone want tea??

4:10 am

Haz1558

No tea for me, thanks.

4:10 am

herinfernallady

mmm tea

4:10 am

FMitch

No thanks Ata, just finishing off my coffe and then I have to get on with the day as it is already gone 10am!

4:10 am

herinfernallady

I am eating pizza and drinking Cougar burbon

4:11 am

elder

Ata, that would be nice, Strong with no sugar please.

4:11 am

Haz1558

And she has all those men to think about. Do they come to your window on a Saturday as well?

4:12 am

elder

herin that's some combination.

4:12 am

herinfernallady

I wish Fmitch would put clothes on

4:13 am

FMitch

No thank goodness!

4:13 am

Haz1558

That's good, peace at the weekend for all.

4:14 am

FMitch

Right I shall away and get myself organised. HAve a good day/evening and see you anon.

4:14 am

herinfernallady

I had an afternoon of shopping followed by supermarket trip from hell. I swear 2 bratty kids of separate parents followed me around and screamed constantly. Thus my headache turned into the start of a migraine. Thank goodness I got Panadol into me when i got home.

4:14 am

Haz1558

See you later, FM.

4:14 am

elder

Bye for now FMitch.

4:15 am

elder

herin, how horrid.

4:15 am

herinfernallady

oh yes. Later Fmitch

4:23 am

Atalante

*gives out tea*

4:23 am

elder

Ata, thank you.

4:26 am

Atalante

my poor pup. she's desperate for a walk and husband is delaying things by shaving, and very slowly at that

4:26 am

herinfernallady

love the photo of the kitty ata

4:26 am

Atalante

:)

4:27 am

herinfernallady

Ata is the POD going to become bacon?

4:27 am

elder

Biting at the bit to go out.

4:27 am

Atalante

noooooooooo

4:27 am

Atalante

she's a pet

4:27 am

herinfernallady

opps sorry

4:28 am

Haz1558

Just realised that I should have been talking about my CSI to5/14

4:28 am

herinfernallady

Later Ender?

4:28 am

Atalante

she'd make good bacon though!

4:28 am

Atalante

lol very true, haz

4:28 am

elder

Easily missed Haz.

4:29 am

Haz1558

So glad nobody seemed to notice.

4:29 am

herinfernallady

The reason I ask Ata is my Aunt had a pet pig named Porky that became yummy bacon

4:29 am

Atalante

how did we all miss that? I even had the word

4:30 am

elder

Alcohol, is there also and plural. Not my taste though.

4:30 am

Atalante

the POD and the POmD are part of an open farm - they have the pigs, chickens, geese, goats, rheas, llamas and stuff

4:30 am

elder

So had I.

4:30 am

Haz1558

I know. It must have been anxiety about FM's behaviour that clouded our judgement.

4:30 am

Atalante

blame FM, good plan

4:30 am

elder

How can you not worry.

4:30 am

herinfernallady

hehehe blame FM

4:31 am

Haz1558

I think so. The world feels more normal when you can blame FM.

4:31 am

Atalante

absolument

4:32 am

Haz1558

My favourite word of the day is one of the 7s. It conjures up an image of a spoiled brat taking part in a castlebuilding competition at the beach and not knowing the concept of sharing.

4:32 am

Haz1558

Or a coastal porcine?

4:33 am

Atalante

what a word!

4:33 am

elder

Haz have just got that ..

4:33 am

elder

strange word..

4:33 am

Haz1558

Isn't it?

4:33 am

Atalante

american. typical!

4:33 am

herinfernallady

ok i need to find that word now. Great clues

4:34 am

Haz1558

I know. Strange words and dimly lit rooms.

4:34 am

elder

can't do American, the vowels lack of, always throw me.

4:35 am

herinfernallady

may have what it starts with please?

4:35 am

elder

Maybe Fmitch, could do with the dimly lit rooms.

4:35 am

Atalante

sa7/44

4:35 am

Haz1558

I know. And they always complain about our spellings. (Sniff for dramatic emphasis)

4:35 am

Haz1558

sa7

4:35 am

herinfernallady

thank you

4:37 am

herinfernallady

thank yuo

4:37 am

Atalante

are there really 7 J words in here?

4:37 am

elder

Nearly done, but taking a break. Good to see you all. Take care.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Yes, and they're all 4 letters except for one plural.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Take care, elder.

4:37 am

herinfernallady

Ok that is an american word no wonder its not real :D

4:37 am

Atalante

bye elder

4:38 am

herinfernallady

later Elder

4:38 am

elder

I also missed the named J/4.

4:38 am

elder

bye .

4:38 am

Haz1558

Ata, one of the j words should bring Jo4 Prescott to mind.

4:39 am

Atalante

ewwww! no thank you!

4:39 am

Haz1558

He's another one who looks as though he's taken a few punches in his time.

4:39 am

Atalante

Jo4 prescott and his 2 ja4

4:39 am

Haz1558

Exactly! Who'd have thought Prescott could be used to clue 2 words at once?

4:40 am

herinfernallady

dont you love when kittens fold them selves in two to sleep

4:40 am

Atalante

how unpleasant!

4:40 am

Haz1558

Let's just be glad he didn't adopt Gandhi's style of dress.

4:41 am

Atalante

gosh yes

4:41 am

herinfernallady

ok i am going to go find mind bleach now

4:44 am

Haz1558

And time for me to get ready for the inevitable Saturday shopping expedition. See you later!

4:44 am

Atalante

good luck!

4:44 am

herinfernallady

4:44 am

Haz1558

Bye!

4:45 am

5:35 am

kje

googled - wordsworth - that was a long time ago

5:37 am

Atalante

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er dale and hill
When all at once I saw
A crowd of ramblers o'er the rill
With multi-coloured anoraks
And bulging rucksacks on their backs

5:37 am

kje

LOL - that wasn't QUITE it ata

5:37 am

Good day to all. I have to leave for hospital rounds soon but I want to greet my buddies and find some words.

6:10 am

Atalante

hi hurshy! bye hurshy! I need a nap before running around the beach all afternoon

6:10 am

Atalante

hi scrabs! bye scrabs!

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, I haven't seen you in a while. Are you doing OK?

6:10 am

hurshy

aw, bye ata

6:10 am

hurshy

i'm doing ok - just often doing the grids without chatting.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Have fun at the beach later, Ata, and please do more videos.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Sometimes I do that too, Hurshy.

6:12 am

dinok

hi all, no 'codgas' to propel the little fish along for me! Time for lickety! even on this easy looking grid :(

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Hi Dino

6:12 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! "you've got to pick a pocket or two..."

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Fagin? Fagan?

Scrabbler

Oliver Twist was the musical we did for 6th grade--very big deal at the elementary school. I was in the chorus where my total lack of musical talent could be hidden.

6:15 am

hurshy

i have had that experience with musical/dance activities, sc

6:16 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! delicious corn chip

6:16 am

Scrabbler

I have zero musical ability except listening. I have tried and failed at learning several instruments, and I cannot keep a tune.

6:16 am

Scrabbler

I am the Frito Bandito!

6:17 am

hurshy

ah... i'm not that bad - but when doing a choreographed dance number in 8th grade, i had to keep counting the beat to stay on track.

6:17 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Well, I am that bad--watching me dance is dangerous to one's health.

6:18 am

hurshy

i was told i had to stop moving my lips as i counted or i couldn't be in the number.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Haha, poor Hursh.

6:19 am

hurshy

which, if you think about it, seems like not the best stance for an 8th grade gym teacher to take. it's not broadway...

6:20 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! cuban dictator

6:20 am

Scrabbler

My friend and I did a hip-hop song for our tennis group (Tomfoolery Tennis Club) in January and I could not keep the beat either with my body or the words. It added to the laughing. We wrote the song about each member.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

No but the teacher-directors think it IS Broadway.

6:21 am

hurshy

it is good when people remember that having fun is important.

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Our club is all about fun, on and off of the tennis court. It is a great group of ladies and we have events/parties every few months. 9 of us will be together in the Adirondack Mtns in July for 5 days.

6:23 am

hurshy

ah, so that's the group of friends you often mention doing things with?

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, I have to get going--must finish at hospital and then be at office by 9.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it is a special group of ladies.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Bye Hurshy. Enjoy the day.

6:24 am

hurshy

have fun!

hurshy

name those proper nouns! writer carl, muslim mystic, cuban dictator

dinok

hurshy I got castro. Is this a different game you play on the grid? :)

6:31 am

hurshy

yes, it is one of my auxiliary babble games. and you get a

6:31 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

6:32 am

hurshy

the game is intended to get the proper nouns out of one's system, since one cannot do it by entering them in the other box.

6:33 am

dinok

lol! I type stuff like that dozens of times, as if it will eventually accept it!

6:34 am

hurshy

well, now you have an alternative. just come over here and say "name that proper noun!" followed by clue, and give a ding ding ding! to whoever gets it.

6:36 am

dinok

I'll play with that. Didnt get the others though, yet. ;)

6:36 am

hurshy

course it's more fun when there's a bunch of people about to play. :)

6:37 am

hurshy

oh, well, it's ok if nobody gets them. however i can tell you the answers if so desired.

6:38 am

dinok

let me try for a bit first

6:39 am

hurshy

the second row is proving slightly more recalcitrant than the first in this grid. one S and no E makes jack a dull grid.

6:48 am

dinok

lol! which of the dwarfs do you think i am hurshy?

6:49 am

hurshy

well, you've taken "name that proper noun!" more seriously than i've seen anyone take it, and your name lends itself too... so i'll say doc!

6:52 am

dinok

thawt u gonna say dopey there for a moment! I do where glasses, but def not the intellectual one!

6:53 am

hurshy

7:03 am

hurshy

we had some sort of puffing one near our house, i was always afraid our dog would not know to leave it alone and i didn't know if it was poisonous

7:03 am

fuquayvarina

if snakes bother you, better to assume something ate it, right?

7:04 am

Uneaixoise

it was just a garter snake but snakes do creep me out

7:05 am

hurshy

once coming back from walk with mom and someone else (grandma?), saw it in road ahead and said, "what's that?" mom said "it's just a stick", then i said, "then why is it moving??!!"

oh fuq - i would have to move, if i were you.

7:06 am

it is illegal in Texas to carry needle nose pliers in your hip pocket

9:05 am

jmcnrick

9:05 am

9:06 am

Well, sometimes too having a real true anxiety attack feels terrible, problem is that most people do not want to believe they called 911 for anxiety.

9:06 am

NonoNanette

co7 french spirits

9:06 am

here is a really weird one for you sprite...

9:06 am

redturtlehead

TY Nono!

9:06 am

cwestexan

morning sprite,jm and kje

9:06 am

jmcnrick

about a week after my husband died there was a terrible wind storm and at about 2 am I heard my front door open

9:07 am

sprite

true, red, it can feel like dying and I think people at 911 will not be angry if somebody calls for thinking they are dying.

9:07 am

jmcnrick

I could bring myself to go down stairs for about an hour so I finally called 911

9:07 am

kje

the texas state mascot is the armadillo.... armadillos ALWAYS have 4 babies... they have 1 egg that splits into 4 and they have either 4 males or 4 females each birth

9:07 am

sprite

argh jmc, you must have been scared sick

9:07 am

sa7 gritty dirt + another word for pig

9:07 am

sprite

oh that is a superb weird fact, kje!

9:07 am

redturtlehead

Oh yes, I am never angry, but I do wish we americans would understand that it IS anxiety and nothing else....

9:07 am

jmcnrick

they were very sweet about it since they knew my husband had just died but I was embarrased nevertheless

9:07 am

movieman

ty nono

9:08 am

9:09 am

jmcnrick

9:09 am

kje

King Ranch in south Texas is larger than the state of Rhode Island

9:09 am

9:09 am

redturtlehead

Wow, so Octo mom is essentially a super Armadillo!!!!

9:09 am

kje

LOL red

9:09 am

jmcnrick

nothing in the middle of the road except yellow lines and dead armidillos!

9:09 am

welki

jm .. i think the anxiety was well-based. how many times do we read in the news that grieving families have had their homes broken into. i would have called 911, too

9:10 am

sprite

red: yes, in stead of just saying, thanks for helping me calm down, I really thought I was popping off, glad it is 'just' anxiety.

9:10 am

welki

9:27 am

1:58 pm

tygerbryght

hey, peeps. I was just about to log off. was kept up all morning (when I sleep best, and only had 3 hours last night) because men were here fixing my HVAC, which went out Thursday night

1:59 pm

MizHoffle

well, if it wasn't for lickity, I would be stuck for the last half

1:59 pm

tygerbryght

friend coming shortly to help me rebandage legs

1:59 pm

oodleberry

hi tyger

1:59 pm

oodleberry

what happened to your legs??

2:00 pm

tygerbryght

oodle, don't feel inferior. some days I can go at moderate speed on the grids, others, I take forever/don't finish

2:00 pm

MizHoffle

I always get stuck on the easiest/shortest words

2:01 pm

tygerbryght

I had cellulitis in them in December, and then they started "weeping". I wound up in hospital (3 times), and with open sores/ulcers on both legs. right leg is basically healed now, but left leg has been stubborn

2:01 pm

MizHoffle

yuck...that really sucks!

2:02 pm

tygerbryght

I now have to wear elastic thingies on my legs, and will eventually graduate to support hose :( :( :(

2:02 pm

oodleberry

but I do, it's a sickness of the brain that doesn't allow you to go quickly or think quickly

2:02 pm

tygerbryght

yup, miz; it ain't no fun

2:03 pm

oodleberry

um how did they start

2:03 pm

tygerbryght

how did they start? what do you mean?

2:03 pm

oodleberry

oh duh... cellulitis

2:04 pm

oodleberry

well I am sorry your legs are sad and they started weeping... is there anyway I can cheer them uyp so they will stop?

2:05 pm

tygerbryght

I had cellulitis before - nearly 3 years ago - in one leg. doctors say that once you've had it, you're very vulnerable to get it again

2:05 pm

Nef

hello oodle and tyger. Sounds like quite an ordeal you've had, tyger!

2:05 pm

2:05 pm

oodleberry

hi nef

2:06 pm

tygerbryght

it's been rough, nef. earlier this month was diagnosed with an infection that required an IV antibiotic. they taught me how, and I did it. now **that** was REALLY depressing

2:06 pm

Nef

(I'm over 60 myself)

2:06 pm

oodleberry

don,t age Miz...

2:07 pm

tygerbryght

and that, friends, is why I haven't been around much. I'm not supposed to spend very much time at the computer. I'm being a Bad Girl today

2:07 pm

MizHoffle

most everyone in my life is older than me, so getting old is far from scary because they all are so awesome

2:07 pm

Nef

DO age, MIZ! The alternative is worse!

2:08 pm

tygerbryght

:) nef's got a point

2:08 pm

MizHoffle

I want to move foreword and live!

2:08 pm

tygerbryght

there are lots of people my age who are very healthy. they just picked healthier parents & grandparents than I did :P

2:09 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Hi there everyone. I saved 6 from last night. Still need clues though.

2:09 pm

BabbleRabble

rather grandiose to think they were your choice

2:09 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

May I please have a clue for af5-16? Thanks

2:09 pm

tygerbryght

I've already lived longer than my mother and paternal grandparents, and only 4 years from as long as my father

2:09 pm

MizHoffle

My mom is almost 71 and still moving and shaking around the world...I hope I am just like her

2:10 pm

tygerbryght

babrab, it's just an expression. I didn't invent it.

2:10 pm

af5/16: a supernatural being from Muslim mythology

2:10 pm

sprite

night all, icon and theme updated and ready for Sunday. Have fun all.
*special hi to BabbleRabble*

2:11 pm

Nef

We also need to take care of ourselves better as we age. It isn't all genetics; as a nurse I've often found it humorous how people don't care for themselves for a lifetime and then come into ICU and expect us to fix them in less than a week. (I'm not saying that about you, tyger!)

2:11 pm

tygerbryght

hey, sprite

2:11 pm

tygerbryght

nef, obesity runs in my father's family. I kept mine from being really bad all my life, but lost 75 pounds in the last 3 years. doesn't seem to be helping much :(

2:12 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Don't know Muslin mythology....thanks anyway, tygerbryght.

2:12 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Muslim.

2:12 pm

tygerbryght

I've been careful about salt since I was 30, and don't eat much meat at all.

2:12 pm

MizHoffle

I lost 30 lbs for my wedding and have managed to keep off since (almost 2 years)

2:13 pm

Nef

maybe you need to see a nutrtionist and make sure that your diet provides enough healthy nutrients so you aren't susceptible to infection.

2:13 pm

tygerbryght

af5/16: af + I like to w***e poetry sometimes

2:14 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks, tyger.

2:14 pm

tygerbryght

nef, I take a ton of supplements - and I know they help, because I don't keep taking anything I try unless I can tell a difference after I start

2:14 pm

tygerbryght

yw, peach

2:15 pm

tygerbryght

and I do all I can in other ways. I've just been very vulnerable to infection all my life. after I was grown, my father told me that they didn't think I'd live to grow up

2:15 pm

Nef

tyger, sorry, that came out rather harsh sounding. I've been through several years of health problems too recently and I really have found that nutrition is important and that we Americans don't know how to eat right (including me)

2:17 pm

tygerbryght

I need to go. Ruthie will be here any minute, and she's in the midst of making 5 bridesmaid dresses for a wedding in 10 days

2:18 pm

Nef

bye, tyger. See you again sometime soon.

2:18 pm

tygerbryght

later, all

2:18 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

See you, tygerbright.

2:19 pm

BR, if you believe in reincarnation I think you actually do pick your parents. Just a thought.

2:19 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

May I please have a clue for fa5-20? Thanks

2:20 pm

MizHoffle

2:20 pm

oodleberry

2:20 pm

MizHoffle

2:23 pm

Nef

storyteller, that's an interesting concept: reincarnated people picking their own parents....

2:25 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Mizhoffle, thanks, I have the British cig. as fa4-9. Is there another way to spell it? Thanks

2:26 pm

MizHoffle

I think that's it

2:26 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks oodleberry, my mind is in slow mode today.

2:26 pm

MizHoffle

gapeach1066@yaho

Oodle, a feeling of worry or anger.

2:32 pm

oodleberry

yes and if someone gave me a million dollars and told me I could relive my teenage years I wouldn't take it

2:33 pm

Nef

LOL, oodle! Me neither!

2:33 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Or leave aout the second 'a' in the word above it and add a cons. I don't think it is a very good clue.

2:34 pm

oodleberry

2:34 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

2:53 pm

BabbleRabble

this old geezer is doing okay, Trifioso

2:53 pm

Nef

and welcome trifio

2:54 pm

Trifioso

BR, your essay today is very challenging! whilst I agree with many of the sentiments, it is a dangerous idea. I think the key is a balance between ambition and peace. I would like to leave the world better than I found it, but also realize the value of rest, and of a peaceful spirit. Seems to me there is a lot of danger in those who confuse that with an excuse to do nothing of note, or who wait for Life to deliver what they are "owed" while they do naught.

2:55 pm

Trifioso

but, as always, I absolutely appreciate your essays, and what you bring to the chog (which enable does not recognize, btw...)

3:00 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Gee, I did have it, think of the dog of the Royal family for that CO 5.

3:00 pm

redturtlehead

Atalante

3:45 pm

3:52 pm

oodleberry

3:52 pm

Trifioso

that's right, jmc, and kadresa is our other sister,and our pastor is a babbler too, but she doesn't chat.

3:52 pm

Atalante

ummm ... because there's a person she doesn't enjoy being around. how's that for understatement?

3:52 pm

jmcnrick

I knew about kadresa but I never see her

3:52 pm

KatieMcG

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

katie I just friended you

3:56 pm

Pinikula

I'm working on it

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

I think I need to pay attention to the grid for a while *diving in*

3:58 pm

Trifioso

ata, I just looked at your FB entries - need another hint?

3:58 pm

Atalante

lol, trif, if you can't work it out from that, I can't say anything else without naming names, and I'm not doing that. Don't worry, it's not you

3:58 pm

Pinikula

I just added ya, too, Katie ;)

3:59 pm

Pinikula

Ata...are we FB friends...

3:59 pm

Trifioso

3:59 pm

KatieMcG

Oh lovely I've accepted everyone.

3:59 pm

oodleberry

i left a message for you in lexulous chat pini

4:00 pm

Atalante

I think so Pini, I'm Becky Hitchin on there

4:00 pm

Pinikula

loading now, oodle

4:00 pm

Trifioso

oh, sigh....what I missed by giving up Babble for Lent!

4:00 pm

KatieMcG

Ata all is clear but I don't know the individual. Are all the people who made comments babble friends? need to know before I ask them to be friends lol

4:00 pm

Pinikula

but of course!!!!!!! we're playing games, ata!!!

4:01 pm

Pinikula

I made a Babble friend list on my profile...

4:01 pm

Atalante

everyone except the last one :)

4:01 pm

Pinikula

replied oodle

4:01 pm

Atalante

*grins* it's so easy to forget who is what and how is why!

4:02 pm

Trifioso

I know, right? I need a way to be able to add babble nicknames to friend's names on FB!

4:02 pm

Pinikula

In the infamous words of Schultz, "I know nuthink!"

4:02 pm

Trifioso

when you take a letter from someone in word hunt, it doesn't actually leave their rack, does it?

4:03 pm

KatieMcG

Trif I missed the person through lent as well, but I think that might be to our advantage lol

4:03 pm

Trifioso

is that person still around?

4:03 pm

Nef

Helllo again. I had to go clean house for a bit, I still have 40 words to find. Will I finish today?

4:03 pm

Pinikula

hi nef

4:03 pm

Atalante

occasionally, I think

4:03 pm

Trifioso

another thing about babble, is that with the time zones and all, the same people tend to be on at the same time. For example, when I babble in the morning, I tend to see a lot of Aussies that are heading for bed

4:04 pm

Pinikula

you will, nef...

4:05 pm

KatieMcG

I have my morning crowd (before I go to work) my afternoon crowd (losing touch because I can't play in my lunchtime and my evening crowd (when I get home from work)

4:05 pm

Pinikula

when I get here, the brits are going to bed

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

I have babble list on fb too but I still have trouble firguring out who it who

4:05 pm

KatieMcG

some of us are dirty stop ups pini

4:05 pm

Pinikula

and we can't make notes on FB, can we?

4:05 pm

oodleberry

I took my turn pini

4:05 pm

Trifioso

yes, I see you all understand what I mean! And then there are folks like BR, who seem to always be just out of reach, and then right when you need them, they appear!

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

and yes there are different time groups (so what are you doing here at this time pini your my late night firends!)

4:05 pm

oodleberry

what do you mean pini?

4:06 pm

Nef

Thanks for the encouragement, Pini. It really will dpend on how much work I get done today (which so far hasn't been much!

4:06 pm

Pinikula

I know I can write Notes...but I want to be able to add comment notes to people's profiles (i.e., Babble nicknames)

4:06 pm

Atalante

I like our normal UK evening crowd

4:06 pm

KatieMcG

I work on the principle if I don't know who they are then they are babble. unfortunately not always true as I seem to have a cousins' wife's sister on and didn't know it. She was slightly confused by my babble question

4:06 pm

jmcnrick

what's a stop up Katie

4:06 pm

Trifioso

the worst time for me is just after the kids go to school. Chog is always near empty. If I get fireworks, only crickets answer!

4:07 pm

KatieMcG

not going to bed at a reasonable time

4:07 pm

Pinikula

Make a sub-friend list entitled, Babble, Katie...

4:07 pm

oodleberry

you can write on their walls and other friends of theirs will see it

4:07 pm

KatieMcG

me too ata

4:07 pm

jmcnrick

yes sometime when I log in during the day the chog echos from its empty walls

4:07 pm

KatieMcG

4:07 pm

cherlyq63

oodleberry

4:07 pm

Pinikula

4:08 pm

Pinikula

4:08 pm

jmcnrick

cherly it is a navaho home

4:08 pm

Atalante

4:08 pm

Pinikula

cherly, that was for your ho5/16

4:08 pm

KatieMcG

4:09 pm

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

4:13 pm

Trifioso

I don't think Haz is on FB, but I might be wrong

4:13 pm

Atalante

my understanding is threading is an alternative to waxing or plucking. it is accomplished with a twisted thread.

sorry off on trip advisor. Threading is where they rip out your eyebrows using two threads twisted together, very popular in indian cultures and I'm assure lasts a long time

Jellen

Awwww....

7:02 pm

welki

i almost gave in to a fit of insanity this week ... 8 year old irish setter was surrendered. but i was strong .. sort of.

7:03 pm

rururocks

they are such beautiful dogs Irish setters.. not a brain in their head though

7:03 pm

welki

beautiful guy, well behaved .. not your typical rescue, so i'm hoping he's adopted SOON ;)

7:03 pm

Jellen

Mmmm...I can't remember the technical name.

7:03 pm

welki

they are a wee bit ditzy *lol*

7:04 pm

rururocks

(putting it mildly)

7:04 pm

Jellen

Fortunately it was contained and the vet was able to remove it...no sign of recurrence...

7:04 pm

welki

what kind of dog is Molly?

7:05 pm

rururocks

how lucky jellen..

7:05 pm

rururocks

good for you

7:05 pm

Jellen

Molly is a pit bull mix...I call her my back gate dog...

7:05 pm

rururocks

(and she hasn't eaten TIm yet)

7:05 pm

HollyF

7:06 pm

7:06 pm

rururocks

7:06 pm

rururocks

7:07 pm

wildcat17

7:07 pm

rururocks

lol

7:07 pm

welki

all the walking they do makes them deeeelicious

7:08 pm

rururocks

lil postmen chops...

7:08 pm

welki

it's not only posties, though .. meter readers, too. part of my job involves these sorts of incidents and, generally, it's neither the dog nor the worker's fault .. but the dog owner's

7:08 pm

Jellen

I have a doggy question for you all...Every night between 7 and 8 Molly starts barking her head off...any ideas why?

7:09 pm

wildcat17

it's never the dog's fault

7:09 pm

welki

^5 wild

7:09 pm

wildcat17

where is she at that time?

7:09 pm

wildcat17

^5

7:09 pm

Jellen

She's usually in her room in the basement

7:09 pm

welki

bewitching hour .. just like kids get nutty every day at the same time. (could be the part of her brain that is dedicated to "Bark At Nothing" activates then)

7:10 pm

rururocks

Dr Phil is on and she hates Dr. phil?

7:10 pm

Jellen

lol

7:11 pm

rururocks

(does she stop barking on commercials?_

7:11 pm

welki

my dogs go beserk at about 7pm, too .. looks like the doggy daytona here around then

7:11 pm

Jellen

We thought the neighbor kids were bothering her, but they just moved (yeah!) and the barking continues...

7:11 pm

welki

(i knew i always liked you, wild :)

7:12 pm

wildcat17

:)

7:12 pm

rururocks

don't know jellen..

7:12 pm

welki

ahhh, but the barking may have become a learned behavior .. might be hard to control now

7:12 pm

rururocks

our dogs are quiet.. maybe she wants a walk?

7:12 pm

Jellen

'Tis a mystery...That might be it, ruru...

7:13 pm

welki

call cesar milan, the ~dog whisperer~ *lol*

7:13 pm

rururocks

are there sirens or neighborhood activities at those hours?

7:13 pm

Jellen

Nope

7:13 pm

rururocks

hmmm

7:13 pm

rururocks

then she wants a snack or wants to be with you, or wants to go for a walk

7:13 pm

welki

here's a stretch .. have a neighbor who is a policeman, fireman, paramedic or emt?

7:14 pm

Jellen

We aren't doing anything special, either...no, welki

7:15 pm

welki

was going to suggest that the radio tests they might listen to have tones that excite/bother Molly

7:15 pm

Jellen

I'll work on that, ruru...changing our routine...

7:16 pm

welki

brb

7:16 pm

rururocks

yeah.. a walk at that hour and then put her to bed

7:16 pm

wildcat17

is there a j6?

7:16 pm

rururocks

even if it is a short one..

7:16 pm

8:53 pm

stidmama

are there any Ji words? I have one Ja and four Jo, looking for two more J

8:53 pm

Eva

I'm confused. how can the roman tunics and the ro5/14 have the same point count when one has 2 two-point squares and the other 1 three-point square? Scoring has never been my strong point.

8:53 pm

stidmama

hello eva!

8:53 pm

lbdawger

2 ja's 5 jo's

8:53 pm

stidmama

thanks LBD

8:54 pm

Eva

hi stid!

8:54 pm

lbdawger

hi eva. i have no idea. scoring is not my forte

8:54 pm

stidmama

there is an RO 5/14?

8:55 pm

stidmama

got it, thanks Eva.

8:55 pm

Eva

that's what lickety's list said, but it must have more points than that. It sounds like part of the human anatomy, or where branches come together in a tree

8:55 pm

stidmama

because total points as just straight count both = 7

8:57 pm

stidmama

I have a JA 4, is the other a 5?

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

8:57 pm

stidmama

NVM, monkyed it

8:57 pm

lbdawger

nope another 4

8:57 pm

stidmama

hey jmc

8:57 pm

lbdawger

hi jmc

8:58 pm

stidmama

8:58 pm

lbdawger

another jo4

8:59 pm

stidmama

thanks LBD *thinking*

8:59 pm

Eva

I must be very tired. I still don't get it. They both have 5 letters. Three of teh 5 are one-pointers, then one has an additional 4 points and the other 3. How can that add up to 7 in both cases. Please take me out and shoot me. I know it does add up to 7 but can't see how.

8:59 pm

lbdawger

jo4, 11, 10, 9 and 9

8:59 pm

stidmama

the to has FOUR one point tiles, + one THREE point tile = SEVEN points

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

I have never understood the points all I understand is that really big points mean a big point letter somewhere

9:00 pm

stidmama

the ro has THREE one points tiles + TWO x two point tiles = seven points

9:00 pm

Eva

thank you stid. Now I can die in peace, knowing that life ultimately made sense(-:

9:00 pm

jmcnrick

lbd is that the order they are in?

9:00 pm

stidgmere

Hi stidmama. I just recently picked up the point system. Sometimes it just takes a while. Don't despare or dispair or despaier or something.

9:03 pm

Eva

Merp is not happy with his food tonight. Keeps coming back upstairs and giving me "cat starving to death on the frozen tundra" eyes, which is hard to pull off when you weigh 14 lbs.

9:03 pm

lbdawger

lol eva!

9:03 pm

Scrabbler

I loved that card because it looks exactly like Callie!

9:04 pm

stidmama

I forgot it was callie who left last year. It's so hard sometimes for me to keep names straight of the people and critters I have actually met...

9:04 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, Eva.

9:04 pm

stidmama

LOL Eva!

9:04 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, it hard to remember Babble names, real names, pets, etc

9:05 pm

stidmama

*grin* sometimes I think of good ones...

9:08 pm

forwardbyfaith

ha, thanks!

9:08 pm

Eva

so stid, since you answered the point question so ably....why do they do all of that tugging and pulling and why does it seem necessary to spit like a camle in order to play baseball?

9:09 pm

Scrabbler

Bad, bad, bad behavior!

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

because those cups hurt

9:09 pm

stidmama

um, that is "boy stuff" Eva... I may live in a houseful of them, but I can't claim to unnerstand them!

9:10 pm

Scrabbler

Boss Richard Head grabs his package a lot, and it totally repels us, but no one has the ba**s to tell him to stop.

9:10 pm

cwestexan

thx for the clue :)

9:10 pm

Eva

I mean basektball players don't spit. Or football. or hockey (they just beat each other up - so much better)

9:10 pm

stidmama

maybe a tube of anti-itch cream, delivered anonymously with instructions on where to put it???

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

you should point it out since it would be sexual harassment

9:10 pm

Eva

Who is Richard head?

9:11 pm

torgone

Football players spit and worse on the field ..

9:11 pm

Scrabbler

Great idea, Stid!

9:11 pm
