I love the pun riots. Almost wet my pants back in the days we did the animal puns.
4:11 am
rubyfoo
I love puns!!
4:11 am
rubyfoo
isn't ruru the consummate expert?
4:12 am
m9f9l
yes. much fun
4:12 am
m9f9l
I do think he's more expert when he consumes. yes.
4:13 am
Sally-catlover
How's the patient today ruby?
4:13 am
m9f9l
argh...the re's!
4:13 am
rubyfoo
depressed
4:13 am
Sally-catlover
Poor him - and poor you.
4:14 am
Sally-catlover
It's hard being a carer, everyone's sympathy is with the patient.
4:14 am
rubyfoo
it is very sad to see him like this as he's been trying so hard to be strong since his heart attack
4:14 am
rubyfoo
I have you folks which is enormously comforting for me!
4:15 am
m9f9l
that is good
4:16 am
herinfernallady
Rbuy do you have social services are similar to help you
4:16 am
Sally-catlover
I think when something like that happens, it is an enormous shock to the system because it is so sudden, not like an illness. And it brings people face to face with their own mortality.
4:16 am
sprite
pshaw, my sympathy is with rubyfoo
4:16 am
rubyfoo
and the fact that I can come on at any time and there's always a game and a chog is wonderful. I'm very lucky

sandyloo
Ruby, if he is up to it, get him outside for a walk
4:17 am
m9f9l
get him laughing
4:17 am
sandyloo
nothing like sunshine for the soul'
4:17 am
sprite
am working on the terra pics, rubyfoo
4:17 am
Sally-catlover
Show him the youtube videos
4:17 am
rubyfoo
heis doing some of his little chores: trash, feeding the birds and fish, walking Ruby, even driving a little. I can't stop him and don't think I should
4:17 am
Kallia
got to go..off to the garden centre back later
4:17 am
rubyfoo
he won't look at stuff like that
4:18 am
Sally-catlover
No, best medicine for him and it gets him out of the house and gives you a break.
4:18 am
sandyloo
definitely not, keep him active, exercise is the root of all good
4:18 am
rubyfoo
and, fortunately, the weather is magnificent!!
4:18 am
sprite
no I think you are right, let him do all those things. One of the things he may need to feel is being in control over little things.
4:18 am
sprite
mind, not over you, just over chores :)
4:19 am
rubyfoo
yes, he is definitely a control-freak and HEAR HE IS with his laundry for me to do. See you later
4:19 am
rubyfoo
{{everybody}}
4:19 am
sprite
too late... lol. Sorry rubyfoo.
4:20 am
sandyloo
LOL we do what we must do for peace
4:21 am
sprite
I wouldn't. I love peace but I want it to be real, not just because I shut up and hold my frustration inside. But after a shock like he had... well, even I would be kinda tolerant, I guess.
4:22 am
sandyloo
you ;know you would sprite, it must have been a ghastly experience, I know it would terrify the life out of me
4:22 am
Sally-catlover
I agree with you sprite. Now is not the time for ruby to stand up to him!
4:23 am
sprite
yes, very scary. And extremely hard on a man like him, I think, who needs to feel in control. It is the entire opposite, to be attacked like that.
4:23 am
sandyloo
whoops I have to go and lite the fire
4:23 am
sprite
lol sandy, you can't, you must go to the PB
4:23 am
Sally-catlover
oops sandy.
4:24 am
rubyfoo

4:24 am
sprite
fireflies. Not too bad, after all. But slow in giving up its mysteries, this grid.
4:24 am

hmm, done all the Us but see unix isn't allowed :-)

4:25 am
sprite

4:26 am
Sally-catlover

4:27 am
sprite
not so very lame, m9. rhymes with the backside of your foot.
4:27 am
m9f9l
now i have it
4:27 am
Sally-catlover
Of course if you spelt it properly you wouldn't have made that mistake :-))
4:27 am
sandyloo
if only i had used the correct spelling
4:27 am
rubyfoo
this is a hard grid for me but there are some lovely words: tu5/14, ri5/12, ca5/12. NB: all my words are little!
4:27 am
sandyloo
'snap' sal
4:27 am
sprite
ok I am off, must prepare meat for dinner tonight. A slow stew :)
4:27 am

4:27 am
rubyfoo

4:27 am
Sally-catlover

rubyfoo

4:33 am
sandyloo
we are very isolated here from the rest of Aus, great big desert in between
4:33 am
rubyfoo
I couldn't remember what it's called, only read about it in Fr papers
4:33 am
rubyfoo
off to make an apero for my hurt fella! *re-poof*
4:34 am
sandyloo
Ruby is her beloved's angel
4:34 am
rubyfoo
does the desert flower when there is the occasional rain, like Namibia or Texas?
4:34 am
Sally-catlover
sandy, when we went to Oz and crossed the coast up in the North somewhere, I was staggered that three hours later there was still "nothing" underneath us!
4:34 am
sandyloo
I have never been to that desert, just crossed it once in a train - and of course many times in a plain
4:35 am
Sally-catlover
We did a huge amount of travelling (for us) but when we got home and looked at the map, we had hardly touched Australia.
4:35 am
sandyloo
LOL it is the Nullaboar Plain and I crossed it in a plane
4:35 am
Sally-catlover
Haveyou ever been to Europe?
4:36 am
sandyloo
I always say to people on the net, that if you go to Aus the eastern coast holds lots more attractions but if one has the time , only then come to the west which also holds lots of attractions but there is more in the east
4:37 am
sandyloo
Have been to america but never to europe , we will got to europe in the next couple of years ( have been a lot to asia )

Just a quick question ... Anyone familiar with the t.v. series "McLeod's Daughters"?
6:38 am
Soodlebum
Hello Mongie. Very quiet here today
6:38 am
Soodlebum
Nope, sorry. Never heard of it here. :-(
6:39 am
mongie
Just started grid, and still have 81 left. I always hit a wall!
6:40 am
Soodlebum
I know. Theres nothing jumping out at me at all...
6:40 am
mongie
The show takes place in Australia, and follows the lives of women who run an outback farm called "Drover's Run". I got it through Netflix ... it sounded interesting ... and I am hooked!
6:41 am
mongie
Just curious if anyone else had seen it. Thanks Soodlebum. :)
6:42 am
mongie
I can't stay long. I just always have to pop in each morning to see how much of the grid I can get quickly. There are so many words I don't know! lol
6:42 am
Soodlebum
I'd say some of the Ozzies would be familiar with it.
6:42 am
Kaplan the Magne
Anyone lose a needle case?
6:42 am
mongie
Guess I picked too slow a day to ask about it, huh?
6:43 am
Soodlebum
Hiya Kap. Which one is the needle case?
6:44 am
mongie
Got to run ... have a great day all! :)
6:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
et4. But don't tell. This could be a big HOAX!
6:44 am
Soodlebum
Bye mongie
6:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
I like sharing the obvious.
6:45 am
Soodlebum
I would prefer if you shared the less obvious.....
6:45 am
Kaplan the Magne
If I shared the less obvious, I would be in the PB.
6:46 am
Kaplan the Magne
:)
6:46 am
Soodlebum
Theres loads and loads of goodies there.....
6:47 am
NonnieLight
good morning all :o)
6:47 am
Kaplan the Magne
In the PB? OK, I'll go. I deserve it for being obnoxious.
6:47 am
Soodlebum
Lol! Hi Nonnie.
6:48 am
NonnieLight
Was it the chocolate that co4/10ed you to the PB?
6:48 am
Kaplan the Magne
Is there a hocter in the house?
6:48 am
Kaplan the Magne
MMMM. chocolate. I'll follow it anywhere.
6:51 am
NonnieLight
ce4/5ic isn't a word???
6:51 am
Kaplan the Magne
What?
6:52 am
Soodlebum
I tried it too, Nonnie. Weird!
6:53 am
Kaplan the Magne
It's a proper noun. Unlike er5 I suppose.
6:54 am
Soodlebum
But shouldn't the 4 letter CE also be a proper noun also?
6:54 am
Kaplan the Magne
Anyway, the word that isn't a word is near some other cool words.
6:54 am
Kaplan the Magne
I am not Enable.
6:54 am
NonnieLight
That's weird because I didn't think it would take the ce4 for that very reason...go figure.
6:57 am
Gitel
small c ce4 is an axe
6:57 am
Kaplan the Magne
So there couldn't be a ce6 axe-LIKE?
6:58 am
NonnieLight
aha, thanks Gitel! I learn something new everyday :o)
6:59 am
Soodlebum
Maybe thats why there are so many battleaxes round here - all with the CE**ic heritage....
7:01 am
NonnieLight
lol soodle :o)
7:02 am
Soodlebum
I was talking about here, geographically, rather than Babble!!!
7:05 am
NonnieLight
All I know it this old battleaxe has to get a move on and start my day. Take care all and hope to see you good people later.
7:06 am

7:53 am

DORK i say
7:54 am

8:21 am

I play games just for the fun of playing. Winning isn't big on my list. Always hated when I beat the boy at Candy Land :)

Dorens
oh yes, and it is hard to throw the game of candy land .. have to dodge certain cards
8:23 am
Dorens
i play it with kindergarten kids in social skills groups.... not too many games in my office that work for pre-readers, and learning how to handle losing is what they often need
8:23 am
Anniebrook
I played candy land for hours and hours, what memories
8:23 am
Mom
I know, they would be so close to winning and then draw the grape guy and back they go to almost the beginning
8:23 am
Anniebrook
Dorens, have you heard anything about your job?
8:24 am
Dorens
absolutley nothing.... but the senate passed a bill that should help. my principal told me that it might come down to the last week in august... i just hope i'll know before our family vacation... would be a lot more fun
8:25 am
Dorens
and believe me annie, when i find out, i am broadcasting to the world...
8:25 am
Anniebrook
dorens, I hope so too but it sounds good that you will be working in September
8:26 am
Dorens

Jellen
Haven't started yet...how is it?
10:42 am
kje
jellen, do not do this to yourself now....
10:43 am
kje
it is natural to want to look for a reason, blame someone or yourself, be angry... that is OK, get it out... but the fact is that bad things happen, even to wonderful people... try to find some peace

((jellen)) please never blame yourself,and tim should not feel that he failed in some way .cancer is not something that hunts down people who make mistakes ,the rich,the poor,young and old,kings and queens all get cancer.it was treated with all dilligence i am sure,and monday morning quartebacking will only make you miserable.just love each other,work with the doctors,and fight till the end.if at that time it looks like tim is set to move on to a better place then he should go with peace and love and with his lady standing with him
10:50 am

pretty much carlee -- so many of the clothes in the stores don't last more than a few washings anyway. The fabric is shabby, they aren't cut properly so don't fit right...
12:49 pm

2:32 pm

2:32 pm
littlebit
hey jellen!
2:32 pm
redturtlehead
I really don't know how young they can start. I've been watching some parents try to get their 7 yr old swimming and thinking they should have started earlier...
2:32 pm
redturtlehead

2:33 pm
zoozzoom

2:33 pm
zoozzoom
Cagey ac4 is a measure of land
2:33 pm
zoozzoom
Sorry little did not see yours.
2:33 pm
bichon
I've seen kids start skating at 8 and still do well. It all depends on a lot of stuff: talent, desire, proper coaching conditions, money
2:34 pm
littlebit
no prob!
2:34 pm
cagey
got it. thanks!!
2:34 pm
littlebit
good, glad you got it.
2:34 pm
redturtlehead
I think the pool situation is just that the lids are sort of freaked out at that age, whereas at 2-3 they really dont seem to be, but floating in a pool is less difficult than strapping on skates...I think.
2:35 pm
9tanks
hey redturtle is that a rafflesia
2:35 pm
bichon
There's a lot more to skating, not the least of which is expense. Swimming is fairly inexpensive; just join a team at the Y
2:36 pm
redturtlehead
yes, that's what I'm thinking. IN the end the swimming gets expensive as well, as kids eventually need lane rentals, the new expensive suits and private coaching, but int he beginning it's easier to start young so the kids aren't afraid of the water.
2:37 pm
redturtlehead
yes, 9tanks, it is. I was trying to be creative!
2:37 pm
zoozzoom
it is an amazing looking plant thats for sure.
2:37 pm
redturtlehead
It is a very rare one.
2:38 pm
Nancy Boy
isn't that the flower that gives off the smell of rotting flesh?
2:38 pm
bichon
I think you can stay inexpensive in swimming and still have fun. It doesn't have to be super competitive. But, skating, no matter how you do it costs a lot. The skates, ice time, coaching, costumes, entry fees to competitions, travel, etc.
2:38 pm
9tanks
yep know it because my kids study in the school.
2:38 pm
zoozzoom
Hello NB
2:38 pm
Nancy Boy
hey, Zooz :) nice to be seeing you around so much recently!
2:39 pm
redturtlehead
Yes, I suppose, but most kids if they have any talent, don't want to just have fun. I train alongside a pre-olympic team. It gets sort of nuts, even for some of the 6 yr olds who show talent.
2:39 pm
redturtlehead
They sometimes look a little stressed.
2:39 pm
bichon
And, you can spend a lot and then the next month the child doesn't want to do it any more
2:40 pm
zoozzoom
I used to be on everyday...but have had some family problems which is still on going......are you on your break at work or areyou off today?.
2:40 pm
redturtlehead
The again, they are all Pre-olympians, or so they like to think!
2:40 pm
sammysmom

2:40 pm
redturtlehead
Bichon thats definitely the interesting thing about children...
2:40 pm
bichon
My daughter quit at 13 because she wanted a normal teen ager's life. What I could have done with that money
2:41 pm

peri, you might be just too good for the other "normal" people to be placed in games with you. the computer automatically tries to place people in games around their skill level.

I can't do an icon for Jellen and Tim because it would be so hard to find the right conbination all in bloom at this time of the year. What would I put together if I could? Bluebell for everlaating love. Rosemary for remembrance. Daisy for loyal love. White heather forwishes that come true and also for protection. White hyacinth, which means I will pray for you. Ivy for lifelong love.Nasturtium, for victory in battle . Yarrow for healing and Yellow Zinnia for daily rememberance.

She got her own back, though, given that men don't look beyond the obvious when they are hungry. She wrapped a block of wood (his sanding block) up in greaseproof paper, like she always did his lunchtime sandwiches, and put them in his bag.

Three ch5/14s for me I am done! Now here is a story of clues.I had a he 6/27 day today. First I walked my friend's dog who is a ro 4/4 pain in the arse. Dog got ri 4/4d up everytime he saw another dog. After that I came home & mu 5/18ed on some lunch. Then I took my te4/4age niece to the mall to me4/5 her friends.I did some shopping there. I bought a te 4/4 because I am going on a camping trip. I bought some ti 4/4 for my kitchen. I'm going to pay a ti 5/10 to do my floor. Then I got car windows ti 4/4ed. On the way home I went to a video store to re4/4 a Sharon Stone movie Basic Insti5/12.It was very late when I got home,but started babbling anyway. I had a hu 5/18 that my tr 3/3 of monkeys would give me trouble today & I was right. I needed monkeys to help me hu 4/6 for words because the grid wasn't a ci 5/16 to do. I tried to co 4/10 th 4/6 with bananas, but they didn't move an in 4/6. Monkeys were it 4/6ing to go play in the tr 4/4. I couldn't el6/21 any hi 4/5s from th 4/6. So I did not pay those monkeys one ce4/5 for their help since my needs were un5/14.I'm still looking to hi4/5 new ones I am going to change icon for the next icon th5/14. I am very ti 4/4 so won't be back. Ch 7/36 and ci 4/5!
