too funny!
6:04 am

6:10 am

You know though, there were some fans there from the ROK who went just so they could see the players from the DPRK - they'd never seen people from the north before. Isn't it bizarre?
6:11 am
Riverdance
thats 50 - quick start
6:11 am

but wasn't it funny that the north hired Chinese actors to impersonate fans?
6:12 am

I guess there is more to this than just the game - must start watching

for many years, ME was considered a fake illness because symptoms would vary from case to case, and people would get better for a while and then have a relapse. It's only in the last few years that it's become a recognised illness - caused by a virus
7:22 am
PinnyPoppins
Hi Mom

7:33 am
PinnyPoppins
i'm coming for a week this trip, but won't be able to meet up as i'll be back to back with meetings and getting to know my new colleagues, but there will be more trips to follow!
7:33 am
Riverdance
your first day is the day of my sons surgery so that wouldnt work anyway. Maybe later in the year if you make it out
7:34 am
PinnyPoppins
i did actually crack and smoke 9 cigarettes in one evening (very stressful day when i had to pick between this job and another), and then stayed awake all night feeling sick and unable to sleep
7:34 am
Mom
give me a shout if you ever have a layover at CVG airport
7:35 am
Mom
oh Pinny, to go between no job and then having to choose between 2
7:35 am
Riverdance
oh no - I have come close lately myself but havent given in - called friend to talk me off the wall
7:35 am
PinnyPoppins
will do! at least i never need to feel alone in the states now, as i'll have a babblebud in almost every town (like a girl in every post)
7:35 am
PinnyPoppins
i mean 'port'
7:35 am
PinnyPoppins
don't do it river - it was GROSS
7:36 am
Riverdance
I wont - have my son to think about
7:36 am
Mom
he is in my thoughts and prayers River
7:36 am
Riverdance
today is his pre-op visit - needless to say I am alittle scared
7:37 am
NonoNanette
Pinny can you tell us the name of the company? Do they have offices in places other than Boston and England?
7:37 am
PinnyPoppins

7:38 am
Riverdance
thanks Nono
7:38 am
PinnyPoppins
what happened river?
7:39 am
Riverdance
he collapsed a couple weeks ago when his heart rate went over 300 - is having an issue with the electrical pathway in his heart - they need to do an electophysio study/catheterization
7:40 am
PinnyPoppins
oh gosh! that's terrible
7:40 am
PinnyPoppins
really wish him better
7:40 am
Riverdance
so today we meet with the doctor that is going to perform the procedure - procedure is supposed to last 8-10 hours
7:41 am
NonoNanette
my husband had the elctrophysio study done several years ago
7:42 am
NonoNanette
8 to 10 hours seems a long time but then they found hubby's problem right away so maybe it would have taken longer if not
7:42 am
Riverdance
they told me this is going to be very long until total anesthesia so he will feel very hung over for a couple of days
7:42 am
Riverdance
did your husbands last that long
7:42 am
Riverdance
whoops - how did that happen?
7:43 am
NonoNanette
babble hiccups :)
7:43 am
Riverdance
maybe pediatric takes longer??? will find out more today

how is the grid today?
10:16 am
Haz1558
Well, strictly speaking it was Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. A woman's match would be the best bet, they hardly get time to work up a sweat.
10:16 am
Haz1558
Hello, jacq, quite a nice grid today.

FMitch
Every Friday is clue Friday for those that want to participate.
10:20 am
Haz1558
Yes, abandoned on Tuesday evening because of poor light (first four sets played), all of Wednesday was the final set, spilling over into Thursday.
10:20 am
FMitch

10:29 am
Vicuna
Cunning indeed, FM. lol
10:29 am
Vicuna
fa5/18 is a unit
10:29 am

10:31 am
Vicuna
My plan is just to sit in front of the computer all day with the windows shut and the blinds drawn. Heh.
10:31 am
Vicuna
(Actually, can't do that anyway. I have loads of matting and framing to put together in the next week.)

10:32 am
rururocks

10:34 am
FMitch

10:34 am
Vicuna
Hope so. I envision myself standing awkwardly with a single stranger!
10:34 am
Vicuna
Okay, that's just a Seussian word.
10:34 am
Haz1558
And I don't even charge, that's the amazing thing.
10:34 am
FMitch
I sincerely doubt it Vi dear.
10:35 am
Vicuna
Haz, you're just amazing through and through, dear!
10:35 am
Vicuna
Well, thanks for the vote of confidence, FM. =)
10:36 am
FMitch
She is almost like Mary Poppins, almost perfect in every way - well apart from not being able to sew or find her glasses or remember when the car needed it MOT - but apart from that she is perfect :)
10:36 am
Haz1558
I know. Mary Poppins wouldn't lose her glasses, would she?
10:37 am
rururocks
mary poppins would have lasik surgery
10:37 am
FMitch
unless she put them in her capacious carpet bag, in which case they would never be seen again given what came out of it.
10:37 am
Vicuna
MAry Poppins was too vain to wear glasses. SHe's really a very unpleasant character in the book. But Haz is more like the Julie ANdrews version.
10:38 am
Becca Lorum
Hello, Could I have a clue for the bottom e please?
10:38 am
Haz1558
I wish I could sing like Julie Andrews. I wish Vicuna could sing like Julie Andrews, come to that.
10:38 am
rururocks
actually Haz ...looks a bit like Julie Andrews..don't you think?
10:38 am
Vicuna
True, ruru!
10:38 am
Haz1558
eg5/10 - what goes in sometimes comes out.
10:38 am

10:39 am

FMitch
Sorry couldn't hear that Vi, I had my ear plugs in.
10:39 am
Vicuna
go5 - rhymes with vixens in carboard cartons
10:40 am
m9f9l
boo... g + 0 4/9
10:40 am
Haz1558
go5 - to rhyme with plural of the red furry creature hunted on horseback in England
10:40 am
FMitch
or not so much anymore Haz.
10:40 am
Becca Lorum
I thought the plural of ox ended in an n.
10:41 am
Haz1558
No, that's true.
10:41 am
Becca Lorum
Not getting that e by the way.
10:41 am
Haz1558
It can be both, it seems.
10:41 am
Haz1558
eg plus a direction minus a vowel.

10:42 am
Becca Lorum
Hi NB,
10:42 am

Hunters are more often interested in the riding than in the hunting in my experience.
10:42 am
daykat

m9f9l

10:46 am
Nancy Boy
I just don't see any 'sport' in killing something. Is there a more disgusting prospect than that?
10:46 am
Haz1558
And I must be off. Meat to cook, dogs to walk, it's all go around here.
10:46 am

10:50 am
rururocks
I never understood the concept of hunting..
10:51 am
daykat
We have foxes in Aussie only because the Brit settlers wanted something to hunt. Go figure that one!!

11:59 am

Nancy, have you ever considered putting yourself up for adoption? I know of at least 20 Babblers who would fight for the right to adopt you!
11:59 am
Nancy Boy
Soodle...I'm attracting strange looks with my giggling!
It is, Sprite; it's two shifts back to back, because...I need to feed my shopping addiction.
12:01 pm
Nancy Boy

12:01 pm

12:05 pm
jacq
what happens if life gets you down and all you have are thongs?
12:05 pm
Judi
Actually, I was at lunch. But, I always have to read back in the chat to see what's going on.
12:05 pm
sprite
glad to see you, Judi
12:05 pm
Nancy Boy
I might have to employ the cabana boys as bodyguards at this rate. There has been very much unauthorised stuffing of phone numbers where I do not appreciate it, such as in my back pockets or down the front of my shirt. Shield me, boys ;)
12:05 pm
sprite
good question, jacq.
12:06 pm
redturtlehead
Hello, who is misusing the Cabana boys?

12:06 pm

you can always hide behind my broad shoulders, Nancy Boy
12:06 pm
Soodlebum
Is that rhetorical, Jacq, or do you have the answer?
12:06 pm
sprite
hiya red :)
12:06 pm
Judi
News must be out that you're on the market again, NB. Psst: pick a rich one.
12:07 pm
jacq
i have no answer but cheesewire springs to mind, it would be a distraction i suppose
12:07 pm
redturtlehead
What is cheesewire?
12:07 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL! Sprite and Judi...I laughed so hard. At this rate I'm going to pick the least handsy. *sigh* better get back out there, though. Take care, ladies!
12:07 pm
Soodlebum
Jacq, that reminds me of another old chestnut...What happens when the bottom falls out of your world?
12:07 pm
sprite
chocolat is the answer. And in case of absolute bottom of pit feelings, strawberries to go with it.
12:07 pm
jacq
narrow wire used to cut cheese like a garrotte
12:08 pm
Soodlebum
Answer:- Take Milk of Magnesia, and the world will fall out of your bottom.
12:08 pm
redturtlehead
oh yes, indeed. I have one of those.
12:08 pm
sprite
bye Nancy Boy *hugs* Take care of yourself, hun.
12:08 pm

Cheesewire sounds dangerous - especially if one were to keep it in a front pocket.
12:08 pm

12:09 pm

i acn think of one or two males who should do that but in the front of their underwear instead
12:11 pm

Oh dear. *hurridly shuttles cabana boys to secret, cheesewire-free hiding spot*
12:11 pm

1:04 pm
Soodlebum

1:04 pm
rubyfoo
hello jilli, we're having an all-girls conversation
1:05 pm
rubyfoo
they want their implants XL!
1:05 pm
jillibus

1:06 pm
Soodlebum
Yay Judi!!
1:06 pm
rubyfoo
yay judi!
1:06 pm
jacq
i have a boob and three quarters jilli, am having a double mastectomy later this year, if my surgoen ever gets back to work it may be sooner
1:06 pm
Judi
lol, jac. I don't hink men care where they are - just so long as they can play with them!
1:06 pm
jillibus
there was a jerk of a sports writer years ago who said women could play golf as well as men because their boobs get in the way.
1:06 pm
Soodlebum
Well done, you, Jilli, for beating that hideous disease.
1:06 pm
rubyfoo
jilli, I made the mistake of having a big-deal reconstruction which left me with all sorts of problems but I look good in clothes hahah
1:07 pm
jillibus
oh jacq -- was there a recurrence?
1:07 pm
Soodlebum
Oh my! Are the three of you survivors of breast cancer?
1:07 pm
rubyfoo
oh jacq! I'm an almost-20-year survivor of stage 2A! Had a clot of surgery and chemo but lived to tell about it!
1:08 pm
jillibus
looks like!
1:08 pm
jacq
i have benign tumours in each boob and they are growing rapidly and the surgeon is a little concerned but it's not dire
1:08 pm
jacq
no, sorry, mine were all benign, have had 5 removed so far
1:08 pm
jillibus
gracious, jacq!
1:09 pm
jacq
thye look a little like patchwork quilts right now lol
1:09 pm
rubyfoo
wow! I had two tiny but malignant ones, one the size of a peppercorn, the other the size of a pea, and mammograms didn't show them.
1:09 pm
jillibus
wow, ruby -- glad you got through all that!
1:09 pm
Judi
Off to do some real (boring) work. Later, gators!
1:09 pm
jacq
you were lucky ruby, to have found them i mean
1:09 pm
rubyfoo
bye smart judi!
1:09 pm
jillibus
How did they find them, then, ruby?
1:10 pm
Soodlebum
I have said it before, and I will say it again. There are marvelous people on Babble. Bye Judi
1:10 pm
rubyfoo
I found them and my doctor said"Oh they're nothing!" And I waited two years before I had them removed.
1:10 pm
jillibus
Bye Judi!
1:10 pm
rubyfoo
I found them while they were saying there weren't any
1:10 pm
jacq
oh wow, even luckier ruby, you are a miracle woman
1:11 pm
rubyfoo
that's what my dogs think!
1:11 pm
jillibus
I never would have found mine -- we can have annual free screening mammograms here and that's how minw was found.
1:11 pm
rubyfoo
I am very skinny and they were down against my ribs
1:11 pm
jacq
hugs to everyone, i have to go, ty for the inspiration, here was me worried about pain, and that is nothing at the end of the day
1:12 pm
jillibus
lucky you, ruby, if they were so tiny and yet 2A!
1:12 pm
jillibus
Bye jacq!
1:12 pm
rubyfoo
pain is something to make go away! No point in enduring it if there's a choice!!!
1:12 pm
rubyfoo
they took out 32 lymph nodes and 2 were affected,. Yes, I am very very lucky!
1:13 pm
rubyfoo
bye jacq!!~!
1:13 pm
jillibus
I had 3 out of 18 affected.
1:13 pm
rubyfoo
did you have chemo, jilli?
1:13 pm
jillibus
strangely, the sentinel node was free!
1:14 pm
rubyfoo
I didn't know about sentinel nodes then
1:14 pm
jillibus
no -- luckily the oncologist said it would only add a 2% advantage
1:15 pm
rubyfoo
I had CAF chemo plus atavan, was never sick, and went to work the day after!
1:15 pm
jillibus
that was 10 years ago, and annual diagnostic mammograms show nothing.
1:15 pm
rubyfoo
we lived for percentages, eh?
1:15 pm
rubyfoo
I've stopped getting checkups; it will be 20 years in November.
1:16 pm
rubyfoo
I just do self-exams
1:16 pm
rubyfoo
no confidence in doctors
1:16 pm
jillibus
wow, ruby! My sis-in-law had it just after mine but was not estrogen-dependent so had chemo and was sick as a dog, lost hair, the whole ball of wax. I just went onto Tamoxifen and now am on Letrozole (Femara)
1:17 pm
jillibus
I have a lot of confidence in good doctors.
1:18 pm
rubyfoo
I lost all (ALL) my hair and went on Tamoxifen for 2 1/2 years after, but because of the Atavan, added by the Boston MD who designed my protocol, was never sick. Just couldn't drink gin for a while
1:18 pm
jillibus
I'm too pudgy for welf-exams
1:18 pm
rubyfoo
I think welf implies good health; I like that portmanteau word!
1:19 pm
jillibus
it is kinda cute :)
1:20 pm
jillibus
how are you doing with this grid? I have 41 left and lunchtime approaches -- then some errands. I'm fighting off a cold too.
1:21 pm
rubyfoo

1:22 pm
Soodlebum
I am humbled in the presence of the pair of you. You both rock!!
1:22 pm
rubyfoo
thank you soodle!
1:22 pm
rubyfoo
You make a choice to live or die and then really work hard at it!
1:23 pm
jillibus
well, thanks, soodle -- it's ruby who deserves the accolades for coping with chemo and finding it herself!
1:23 pm
rubyfoo
that's why my DH annoys me so much. He complains about everything
1:23 pm
Soodlebum
I know all of that, but you are both might strong ladies!
1:23 pm

1:27 pm
Soodlebum
Ah! I know the word, but had no idea what it meant!
1:28 pm
rubyfoo
never saw it before! Is it a babblet?
1:28 pm
jillibus
just click on the ? for the meaning ;)
1:28 pm
jillibus
sometimes it ends with an S
1:29 pm
jillibus
definitely a babblet
1:30 pm
Soodlebum
I know about the ? button, Jilli, but that particular word is also the Irish word for the number 9, and that suits me!
1:30 pm
jillibus
oh, interesting, soodle!

news from the front -- mom had another "episode" on wednesday, and had to take the rig to the ER. Five hours, no positive results, now she is here with me
6:15 pm
Trifioso
I am thiiiiis close to running wild in the streets. I had NO IDEA how stressful this would be!
6:15 pm
aknitter
oh no, poor thing (both of you)
6:15 pm
Trifioso
she is terrified to be alone, even for five minutes. We have had to scramble to find coverage the few hours I am at work. One day I had to hire primo's old girlfriend, the lovely nursing student....
6:16 pm
aknitter
i feel your pain - i get stressed just taking my mom out to dinner!
6:16 pm
Trifioso
primo's new GF found out and dumped him, so now primo is not speaking to me. Secondo and Tertiare just left with Mr. Hate, and tomorrow is Tertiare's birthday party, which she decided would be a pool party at HIS house, so I will be here with the lovely grammy, alone
6:16 pm
Trifioso
well, we do have a funeral to go to. FUN
6:17 pm
aknitter
new GF sounds immature and primo is better off without her
6:17 pm
Trifioso
carole and matt are in the process of trying to quickly dump and run from their house to hers, which is proving almost impossible with two little boys under foot, so I have them now while they finish up a few things. To be honest, it's been great having them here. Mom is speaking and playing with them, and I am here. Trying not to go nuts and sucking down a Mike's lemonade with head-spinning speed

Not having much fun here at the moment. I have been diagnosed as hyper (yes hyper) thyroid. I feel as though i am on my 200th cup of coffee, cant sleep, cant eat as the medication is making me nauseous. i am ready to explode. this had better go away quickly

wish I could make it permanent - hey NB like your new photo
6:42 pm
Nancy Boy
thanks, River :) it was taken the morning after my housewarming - probably why I look like I was trying not to remember anything ;)
6:42 pm
Nancy Boy
that is a shame though, River - he should be supporting you, not dealing with it separately :(
6:43 pm
Trifioso
nancy, is that a tattoo on your chest?
6:43 pm
Riverdance
he hasnt been here for me for months so why now - I know he is going through is own torture over it but I cant drag myself out there quite yet
6:44 pm
Nancy Boy
my chest? it's not revealed, is it?!
6:44 pm
Riverdance
is it a lovely curtain over your chest?
6:44 pm
Nancy Boy
no tattoos on my chest...just a T-shirt and a cushion ;)
6:45 pm
Trifioso
I understand, river, really I do...
6:48 pm
Soodlebum
River, this sounds quite mad, i know. but i have a cell phone that costs me nothing. if you feel like a chat, or an off-load, I have two very good ears, and despite being Irish, I am actually quite a good listener. If you thought I could be of any help to you at all, I would be happy to call you.
6:51 pm
Riverdance
that is so thoughtful of you - thanks but I am good - in fact my best friend who has listened to me over the years is also irish so I know irishwomen can be very good listeners and friends. I so appreciate my babble friends...
6:53 pm
Nancy Boy
how sweet of you, Soodle - it is getting late here, as well :) I'd better go get back to work though. Just three more hours. (((River))) all the best to you and yours
6:53 pm

6:54 pm

bye Nancy - dont work to hard -keep those wandering hands off of you ....lol ((NB))
6:56 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL River. I rarely work too hard, and as for the wandering hands...I'm a man, not a magician ;) but, all my fingers are crossed for your son - you don't deserve to have to worry :( take care xx
6:56 pm
Riverdance
thanks soodle - its so hard looking at him and he is so vital, athletic to think he wont be able to do anything or not survive the procedure but he must have it or not survive at all - we hope for the best - find and correct it and he goes on without any further complications.
6:56 pm
Riverdance
all parent worry - every day of their life
6:57 pm

Whats his first name, and how old is he, River?
6:58 pm

Keith is 13 (and a half + 5 days according to him)
6:59 pm
Soodlebum
LOL. That 'half' is mighty important when you are 13!!
7:00 pm
Riverdance
and dont forget those 5 days - he told the Doc when asked
7:01 pm
Riverdance
its nice to have something to chuckle over
7:01 pm

River, it is past 1am here, and I am going to bed. I wlll pray very very hard for Keith. My email is medickinson@eircom.net. Please please, let me know how Keith is doing, if I don't happen to sychronise with you on Babble, ok?

Hey Nef, haven't been on with you for awhile. Nice to see you
7:58 pm
Nef
hi LA. We just had a big storm blow through here; parts of Minneapolis and St. Paul are under water (flash floods) but the tornado warning is over!
7:59 pm
LeslieAnn
yikes. we had quite a nasty storm yesterday and some tornado conditions but no touchdowns i don't think
8:00 pm
Nef
hi Jilly. I've just been busy with work and hauling DH to doctor appts. When I finally get here it's late evenings and I end up falling asleep at the keyboard
8:02 pm
Jillyjill
lol, well, I am taking a break from nursing to attend a training for youth ministry.
8:02 pm
Nef
LA, they just announced about a Volvo floating down Lyndale Ave in south MPLS. There have been numerous torados spotted around the Cities but haven't heard of damage this week (bad storms last week here and 29 tornados sited across the state; 3 people died)
8:03 pm
Jillyjill
will be on and off tonight, been a long time since fw...i've been going to bed early and the motel wi-fi is slowwww at times
8:03 pm
LeslieAnn
oh my goodness. only time i've been to minn/st. paul was shortly after the bridge collapse. you guys have had enough trouble up there
8:05 pm
Nef
That sounds like fun, Jilly. I did that at one point too when my daughter was a teen; we'd take them on retreats and tell them "boys are blue, girls are pink; we don't want any purple!" It helped that I worked nights back then; I could stay awake and keep them honest! ;-)
8:05 pm
Nef
what were you doing here then, LA?
8:06 pm
LeslieAnn
have a friend who was getting married there, her family is from minn
8:06 pm
LeslieAnn
did some touristy things, the sculpture garden, zoo etc.
8:06 pm
Jillyjill
lol nef, gotta remember THAT one. I had left my volunteer role when my kids graduated. then the ministry sorta fell apart and I came back in to rebuild it, but this time I do get a stipend.
8:07 pm
Nef
how big is your group, Jilly?
8:08 pm
Nef
Coming from the Chicago area, what did you think of the Twin Cities, Leslie?
8:09 pm
Nef
and which zoo did you go to? We have the Como Zoo and the MN zoo here (Como is older, small and free; it's my favorite)
8:10 pm
LeslieAnn
er the mn zoo i think. i am pretty sure we paid. they had a very cute prairie dog exhibit
8:11 pm
LeslieAnn
it is a nice area
8:12 pm
Nef
that's what I still call the "new" zoo (the MN zoo). My dtr was laughing at me saying that the other day. It's been around for probably 25+ years now
8:14 pm
LeslieAnn
i can't remember the name of the place where the wedding was - it was a scottish bar in downtown st. paul i believe. they had lawn bowling. :)
8:16 pm
Nef
was it Brit's Pub? They have lawn bowling on the roof; but that's in MPLS
8:19 pm
LeslieAnn
that must have been it, it was on the roof. really nice place!
8:20 pm
Minski
Hi Everyone!
8:20 pm
Minski
Does anyone have the Si5 & Si6?
8:21 pm
Nef
not yet, Minski (but I'll start looking!)
8:23 pm
Nef
got them too just now!
8:23 pm
Minski
si5&6 = when one side of a war surrounds a city of hte other side and bombards them until they surrender.
8:23 pm
Minski
and plural
8:23 pm
Nef
I was using the wrong si combo
8:24 pm
Nef
(or headed the wrong way is more correct)
8:28 pm
lulumad
can you please explain how the scoring works
8:29 pm
LeslieAnn
first number = number of letters in the word, second number = total points
8:29 pm
LeslieAnn
so, ar 4/7 starts with ar, has four letters and is worth 7 points
8:30 pm
lulumad
but is a 5 letter word doubled, 6 tripled?
8:30 pm
Minski
phew! S & T were tough. Moving on up.
8:30 pm
LeslieAnn
oh yes, 5 doubled, 6 tripled, 7 quadrupled etc.
8:31 pm
Nef
welcome lulu. the 2 best ways to figure out this game are to read the help info (right above the chatlog here); and also scroll down to the bottom of the page and on the left is a section called Friends of Babble. AngelSong's Babble Page is how I learned how to play
8:31 pm
Minski
oops. thought I was done with the Ss but missed most of the Sa words. didn't see the 3rd s.
8:41 pm
Minski
OK. This time I'm really done with the S words.
8:41 pm
LeslieAnn
:) good-o min
8:41 pm
Nef
WTG, Min. There
8:41 pm
Nef
certainly enough of them!
8:43 pm
Nef
OOOPS! Off to the PB for me (any choclit there tonight?
8:43 pm
LeslieAnn
sure, there's some wine too
8:48 pm
Nef
Eh. I don't do alcohol very well. I'll leave the wine for someone else
8:49 pm
LeslieAnn
sparkling grape juice? :)
8:50 pm
Nef
that sounds better! Or V-8 juice!
8:52 pm
Nef
hey, lulu; did you figure out how to play and what the count is?

You can keep them Nef. I'm just tired from a day spent chasing 2 kids.

Minski
I'm sorry about your DH. MS is a miserable disease.
9:25 pm
lbdawger
one can never be too tired to each chocolates! Poor Minski!
9:26 pm
Nef
No, he didn't break anything; and he fell between therapist visits. He's been doing very well; and was starting to deny that he isn't as weak as he is. I think it kind of shook him up; but otherwise he's okay
9:26 pm
lbdawger
*each= eats*
9:26 pm
Nef
MINSKI! You MUST be sick!
9:26 pm
lbdawger
whew, glad nothing was broken but his pride.
9:27 pm

No. I'm never too tired for chocolate, but Nef needs them more than I do. Just toss one or two over here Nef. then you can keep the rest.
9:27 pm
lbdawger
it's a big bag, enough to share with everyone
9:28 pm
LeslieAnn
nef, i did not know it was ms. i have a friend in the hospital now who they think has it, at 28

I'll share. I was just being greedy. Now that I've had a couple, that's enough for me for tonight!
9:31 pm
Nef
Ah, LA. DH has had it for 24 years; diagnosed at age 39 and did very well until the end of April. He's never been hospitalized with it though
9:32 pm
LeslieAnn
well they are running tests but have been for a few days now. not sure if ms yet, but probably so.
9:32 pm
Nef
He'd only used a cane up til April. I'd bought him a walker about 5 years ago for a relapse but he'd never used it til now. Now he's in a wheel chair

When Babble's grid seems hard to do,
10:17 pm
Jacula
check the grid; it's not just you!
10:18 pm
Jacula
When Babblets abound too much,
10:18 pm
Jacula
use the chog a a crutch.
10:20 pm
jesdraggon
when in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout
10:20 pm
Jacula
If clues don't help, do not yelp
10:20 pm

you put your left foot in, and you shake it all about

A bit like me!
10:23 pm
LeslieAnn
sort of - ro 6 = fat, ro 7/8 = an architectural ceiling
10:23 pm
jesdraggon
oi. you'd think i could have found that 7; it's one of the most popular buildings on campus!
10:24 pm
Jacula
Ah, but, Jes, have you still not realised that the most obvious words hide in Babble grids?
10:25 pm
jesdraggon
heh. i'm out of practice, jac--haven't finished a grid in ages.
10:26 pm
Jacula
I finish the grid every day, unless I'm away on holiday without internet access, so can only do it on paper. The impetus to finish isn't there without the chog though.
10:26 pm
Jacula
I think my family quite like that!
10:28 pm
Jacula
Though, I do have to say, my other half thought I hadn't been playing Babble for months, since he'd not seen it on the PC when he'd got home from work. That's 'cos I finished with my 2 morning buckets of tea.
10:28 pm
Jacula
The more you play this game, the easier it gets.
10:28 pm
jesdraggon
heh. i haven't had time to play at work, which is where i usually do it. tonight i'm playing from home
10:29 pm
Jacula
Well, I'm lucky enough to work from home at present.
10:30 pm
jesdraggon
ah, that would make it easier :)
10:30 pm
Jacula
Yes, it does.
10:33 pm
Jacula
I've been on Word Tornado on Facebook earlier, still trying to recruit new Babble players. Most prefer the fast game you 'win' with no chat. Ce'st la vie!
10:34 pm
Jacula
Personally, I don't think there's anything to beat Babble. If you have any quibbles or niggles, contact Dr_God, who wants to know how to improve things right now.
10:35 pm
jesdraggon
nope. other than the dictionary not having words that are words...
10:35 pm
jesdraggon
does he want to know about those?
10:35 pm
Jacula
Jes - you should have had an e mail from him?
10:36 pm
Nef
LOL! Jes, I don't think Dr_God can fix that dictionary other than to change to another one)
10:36 pm
jesdraggon
probably. i think i skimmed and din't think of anything to say, so i didn't reply
10:39 pm
Jacula
I haven't replied yet, but would say update the dictionary used, include an edit and a delete button for chog.
10:40 pm
Nef
Jac, are you saying that Dr_God sent out emails recently?
10:40 pm
Jacula
Some people want an 'ignore' button' but I don't think that chog is set up for that.
10:40 pm
Jacula
Nef - yes.
10:40 pm
Nef
(I may have to figure out my passwrod for my old email addy then
10:41 pm
Jacula
here's a copy. Hope Dr_G doesn't mind me replicating it here... Fellow Pro Babbler-
I realized this morning that I've been neglecting Babble lately,
and I'm thinking it's time I gussied the site up a bit. So I'm
asking for your feedback. I welcome any and all feedback. Let your
brain juices flow!
A few sample questions/topics:
What do you like the most about Babble?
What do you dislike the most about Babble?
What feature(s) would you like to see added to Babble?
How could the Babble community be strengthened?
Your feedback can be nit-picky or can include pie-in-the-sky dreams.
It's all good to me.
Thanks and Happy Babbling!
- Dr_God
10:44 pm
Nef

I was af 6/30 that I was not going to finish but I had nothing to fr4/7 about because grid was doable with a list and didn't drive me nu 4/5. Now I will do a nice ge7/40 by doing a st 5/14 of clues for you. I ar 5/10 this morning not feeling well. I had a ru5/16 because of allergies. But I sa4/5 to myself, "Do not da4/5 call in sick. Today is the last day of school." So I went to work in the not so sa4/7 part of Yonkers.On my way to work I heard on the ra5/12 about a shooting that happened in Yonkers.When I got to work everybody el4/4 was standing outside looking at all the activity going on outside the school.There was not even a so 4/4 in the office. I asked what happened & was told someone got shot. Unfortunately they did not fa 4/7 well and died.The criminal shot him & then he st5/10 from them. I was so st 4/5ed that it happened right across from the school's tu4/8.It turned out the guy worked at Staples.I go to the st5/10 all the time. He was young too. It to 4/4 my heart out to hear about someone so young being murdered. Now I'm about to lo 4/4 the computer to hubby. My husband go 4/6 on the computer every night to play Farmville. My eyes are so 4/4 from staring at computer anyway.So I am going to ra5/10 my ro6/24 body out of this seat and go ra4/5 the fridge.Then I'm off to watch a late nite go 4/8 movie starring Ra 5/16 spelling.Was probably the worst ro4/4 he ever had even though hasn't had too many ro 5/10. I hope you do not get lo 4/4 in my st 5/14 of clues and find lo 4/4 more words.I hope all go 4/6 well for the re4/4 of the night and those who are not finished yet get their fireworks! Goodnight!
