1:33 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

dcseain

IAD is a modernist masterpiece

1:33 am

rururocks

we have the new whole body scanners at SFO now

1:33 am

dcseain

1:36 am

sandyloo

m9, does that mean you have two husbands, when you refer to both guys

1:36 am

dcseain

people see me and think i'm 10 years older due to the white beard.

1:36 am

m9f9l

whenever i cut Tim's hair, I think of the one of his server's once who was OUTRAGED that I cut his hair when I'm not licensed.. she said "would you fly in a plane if the pilot didn't have a license??" ROFL! still cracks me up

1:36 am

rururocks

sometimes our shifts are exactly 8 hours apart....doesn't count the time to drive home..unwind...shower the next day and drive back

1:59 am

do you get a chance to catch up at all?

2:03 am

somebody needs lessons in organising shifts reasonably

2:03 am

VolleymomDee

you are so right... just can't stay comfortable long enough to sleep, so in constant state of tiredness....

in the morning

2:05 am

jillibus

YAY dart!

2:05 am

jillibus

Morning stiffness here too -- sign of RA.

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

takes me hours to get moving... sometimes I stay up all Sat night, so I can make it to church, then come home and sleep... thankful we have no kids at home

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

how I first got diagnosed, jili... severe stiffness in A.M. of wrists... I think maybe osteoarthritis has morning stiffness, too...

2:07 am

flosey

have pills to take if it's very bad

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

what do you take flosey?

2:09 am

flosey

at first he gave me tylenol 3 but I couldn't take them through the day, made me woosey, then gave me tramacet which I can handle, just wouldn't drive

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

have never tried tramacet... I think tylenol 3 has codeine, so I couldn't take that... aleve has been most helpful... but seems to put digestive system "to sleep"...

2:11 am

flosey

yes, the codeine made me woosy

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

I bet

2:11 am

sandyloo

is tramacet related to tramadol?

2:11 am

jillibus

not supposed to take aleve if on methotrexate, which I am, but luckily it works fine.

2:11 am

flosey

the meds they gave me for migraine had codeine but then I'd be right in bed

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

they are letting me couple methotrexate with aleve ... at least for the time being

2:13 am

VolleymomDee

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

I was diagnosed in 1996, but probably had it earlier and was just being treated for symptoms (inflammation)... started out on daily doses of prednisone and plaquenil, weekly methotrexate... then quit plaquenil... then quit daily steroids and only use for acute inflammation a couple of times a year

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

had a bad summer, so may be on the cusp of having to change meds... trying not to change until I absolutely have to

2:19 am

jillibus

I quit the steroids in 2000 -- was having surgery so they said "no more" and it was ok.

hello FM

2:45 am

oh FM, that is amazing. Such a lovely way to start the day. And hi :)

2:45 am

5 hours of walking! they'd have to carry me back.....

2:45 am

sprite

sounds like the perfect holiday to me, sandy

2:46 am

rubyfoo

that sounds like a perfect holiday. Did Nicky take care of the horses and other animals?

2:46 am

FMitch

Hello spritey sprite and ruby and welcome back sandy, sounds like you had a great time.

2:46 am

sandyloo

mitch what a gorgeous photo, well done with that- were you up that early putting on makeup for the cleaner?

2:47 am

sandyloo

yes ruby, she was fine - she liked the break - it is gorgeous down there - when any of you babblers come to perth I will take you down there

2:47 am

FMitch

thanks and ha ha sandy, yes I thought if I started now with the make up I would be ready in time for Tuesday next week :)

2:47 am

rubyfoo

if I can ever get out from under this mess, I'll be there! it may take years, but I'm determined!

2:48 am

sprite

one day I will, sandy

2:48 am

sprite

FM, but you should have started by taking of last year's!

2:48 am

rubyfoo

we can't see sunrises here because the mountains are to the east. our exposures are south and west and a little north

2:48 am

rubyfoo

make up? hah

2:48 am

FMitch

LOL!

2:49 am

sprite

*guides rubyfoo to the sin bin*

2:49 am

sandyloo

the walk was funny, I went with my sister and she had it mapped out (lol) we had to climb steep hills and got lost in the forrest! that is why it went for so long- finally found a road and knocked on a farmhouse door and got her boyfriend to pick us up LOL

2:49 am

sprite

oh lovely, sandy, a real adventure :D

2:50 am

rubyfoo

getting lost in the woods with your sister sounds like a delight. The last time that happened to me, I was about 4 and she was 10!

2:50 am

sprite

yay, over halfway

2:51 am

sandyloo

we found a little cabin that someone (probably a drug grower) had build in the middle of the forrest- that was quite exciting

2:51 am

FMitch

wtg sprite. I will be back in a bit.

2:51 am

sandyloo

saw lots of kangaroos

2:51 am

rubyfoo

how close to them did you get?

2:51 am

sprite

bfn FM

2:52 am

sandyloo

if you are quiet you can get quite close (about half a paddock away) they have very good ears,- there is a place just out of perth where you can pat them they are tame there but still free

2:53 am

rubyfoo

are they soft or bristly?

2:53 am

sprite

sandy to the sin bin too... can I come along please?

2:53 am

sandyloo

what me? surely not!!

2:54 am

sprite

yep you too. But with you and rubyfoo there, I want in too!!

2:54 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, now I really must poof!

2:55 am

sandyloo

kangas are very soft - we used to have joeys as pets when we were young - we kept them in a pillowslip on the end of our beds and fed them with bottles - they used to follow us around during the day

2:55 am

sprite

bye rubyfoo, have a nice day

2:55 am

sandyloo

dangerous to keep as adults tho

2:55 am

sprite

I know they are a pest in some regions, sandy, but to us from places where they only live in zoos, they are so incredibly cute!

2:56 am

sandyloo

they are a huge pest, but I think they are amazing animals

2:56 am

sandyloo

you should see them jump over fences they barely change their stride

2:58 am

sprite

I recently watched a series about a team that helps people get over trauma. This boy had been attacked by a kangaroo, had been badly hurt and was really scared. With the team he faced them again and even got really close to some. He really felt better afterwards.

2:59 am

sprite

I think they are the world's best solution to birth and baby care. I'd sign up for one of those whatdyucallems right away.

2:59 am

sandyloo

they can be very dangerous, they go back on their tails and rip with their hind feet

2:59 am

sprite

yes we saw footage of that too. They are amazingly fast and strong. Their front feet as well, though the hind legs are worse. It was truly scary.

2:59 am

sandyloo

do you mean you want a pouch Sprite?

3:00 am

sprite

yes! A pouch. And when baby is due, he or she crawls into the pouch. Drinks there and grows until ready for more adventure. Isn't that something!

3:00 am

sprite

beats the hell out of labour

3:01 am

sandyloo

when we were kids, our uncles had kangaroo dogs- fantastic dogs which would chase and kill a roo, then come back to the car and lead us to the kill - they used to feed their dogs with them

3:01 am

sprite

oooookay.... forgive me for going eeeewwwww

3:01 am

sandyloo

sounds awful but on a station it was fresh meat for the dogs

3:02 am

I know, I know, it is necessary where you live. But still...

Hello Sprite

3:30 am

lynxxx

nice size grid, maybe a little easy though I am thinking

3:31 am

sprite

yes it is not a hard one. Some interesting words and letter combinations though. I found some letters to be a challenge.

3:36 am

sprite

fireflies.
As, Ss and Ts were not easy to complete for me.
Anything I can help with before I go?

3:37 am

lynxxx

congrats Sprite! only half way so way too early but thanks. Have a great day

lynxxx

ugh hate blood tests - hate needles

3:43 am

sandyloo

ok zooz, that is good to hear you are being checked

3:44 am

zoozzoom

Sandy be careful of the size of the photo, do not think it will be accepted for an icon if the file size is too large.

3:44 am

sandyloo

hmmm zooz, that sounds very difficult for me

3:44 am

zoozzoom

I don`t mind normally Lynxxx, although i do bruise very easily.

4:02 am

lynxxx

at & canvas dwelling perhaps

4:03 am

sandyloo

lynx, the one before that

4:03 am

Norma

I play quite a few on facebook not all word games but babble is my favourite, I have played it almost from the beginning

4:04 am

lynxxx

at5/6 make up for your sins - of course not you Sany!

4:04 am

lynxxx

SanDy

4:04 am

sandyloo

I used to play the now extinct tangleword and heard of babble from that. Now I sometimes play Serpentine which is a copy, but it often freezes

4:05 am

Norma

Where is Serpentine on the web ??

4:06 am

sandyloo

thanks lynx, but I have that one too, it is right before your at (canvas thing) at6/18 the second one or the middle one

4:06 am

Cosmo Kramer

Sandy - i too was in tangelword.. play serpentine now also..

4:06 am

Cosmo Kramer

Sepentine - games.cobradragon.com

4:06 am

Norma

sandy ... it is the plural of at5/10

4:07 am

lynxxx

as well as occasionally Wordsplay, I have also been playing Letter Blox which is OK

4:07 am

sandyloo

hi cosmos, I am hopeless at serpentine - always last- but still like the concept , does it ever freeze on you?

4:07 am

Norma

Thanks Cosmo I will go and have a look, then my husband will never see me lol

4:08 am

sandyloo

I was devestated when tangleword stopped ,

4:08 am

Cosmo Kramer

Serpentine - is not as stable as babble.. but it is ok.. manageable.. sometinmes freezes... i play for fun.. not to increase my ratings.. so it's ok..

4:08 am

Cosmo Kramer

i am 'iluvcofee' in serpentine..

4:09 am

Norma

Will look out for you Cosmo

4:09 am

redturtlehead

4:36 am

lynxxx

hi Dizgrannie

4:36 am

sandyloo

good going gran, I have 161 left

4:37 am

dizgrannie

hello lynxxx and sandyloo

4:38 am

lynxxx

BBL perhaps, my concentration is gone

4:41 am

dizgrannie

whats the weather like around Aus, here its one day spring the other winter or wet

4:42 am

sandyloo

as usual it is sunny here in the day but freezing cold at night and hardly any rain- we have had an incredibly dry winter

4:43 am

sandyloo

it has been like a mild summer

4:43 am

sandyloo

I dont think there has been any increase in our main dam supplies

4:49 am

dizgrannie

the rain here is like a few drops here and there, most is about an hour of solid downpour, nothing to whet ones whistle.

4:50 am

sandyloo

we have had some downpours - enough to keep out water tank full and the grass green , but we need water into our dams

4:56 am

dizgrannie

know what ya mean, Sandy. Pity the real rain (heavy downpours) cant fall in the catchment areas

4:58 am

sandyloo

certainly dont get the water flowing into the dams

4:58 am

sandyloo

what town do you live in gran ?

4:59 am

dizgrannie

we are Townies, in a rental place and are seriously thinking of asking landlord to instal a rainwater tank.

4:59 am

dizgrannie

near Campbelltown NSW

4:59 am

sandyloo

I think that we all should have at least a small rainwater tank, it would help a lot

5:00 am

dizgrannie

do ya think the Dept of Housing would install them????

5:00 am

sandyloo

I think you would get some rain in the summer though? I know it seems to rain in Sydney in the summer

5:01 am

dizgrannie

yea it rains in Sydney, but not enough lately

5:02 am

dizgrannie

I remember when I was young (cough, cough...lol) we would have complete rain for days at a time

5:02 am

sandyloo

here too, I remember lovely winter days but this winter none of the above

5:03 am

dizgrannie

nowadays we have a shower or downpour and thats it

5:03 am

sandyloo

I am hoping for some late rain of note

5:03 am

SaraY

In Canberra our dam is at 72% - fantastic - and water restrictions have been eased a little. Still, Canberra is set to grow a lot over the next decades so water supply is still an issue.

5:04 am

dizgrannie

to me this past winter wasn't that cold, eldest dtr lives in Tasmania, was down there last month and it wasn't too bad (cold wise)

5:05 am

SaraY

I think I would like to live in Tasmania (where my mother was from). A lovely place with so much to see in a small space.

5:06 am

sandyloo

sara, population growth all over aus is sure to happen and that becomes such an issue as you say. I have wanted our government to pipe water down from the kimberleys - they say it is too expensive but it would bring life to the land in the north on the way down- they should do it

5:06 am

sandyloo

and I LOVE Tassie, it is gorgeous

5:11 am

SaraY

sandyloo, where are you?

5:15 am

dizgrannie

SaraY, dtr is in Devonport...lurv the top end of Tassie, it is soooo clean and fresh. Since moving there 2 yrs ago, g/son has not (touch wood) had an asthma attack, whereas in NSW he was hospitalize twice in his young life

5:16 am

sandyloo

I am in perth , we live about half an hour from the city on 8 acres and we have a house in nedlands which is 10 mins out of the city

5:21 am

SaraY

My partner, David, was born, raised and educated in Perth, leaving after university for a job in Canberra. We have visited many times and I love WA. Done lots of sightseeing south, north and east of Perth. Only place west would be Rottnest Island!!

5:21 am

sandyloo

I have just got back from a holiday in Denmark (WA) which is so lovely

5:22 am

SaraY

dizgrannie, David and I have spent a little time in Tasmania but still have the entire north coast to do.

5:22 am

sandyloo

which is of course down south

5:22 am

sandyloo

we did the gibb river road last year in our north that was great

5:23 am

SaraY

Yes, we have been there. David has a nephew with a winery, Hamelin Bay, south and east of Margaret River.

5:23 am

sandyloo

have sis in law in queensland so have travelled there a lot too

5:24 am

sandyloo

Have friends with vineyards in Denmark and also a friend with vineyard in Yallingup so we are lucky with wine

5:25 am

SaraY

sandyloo, we were set to do the Gibb River Road in 2008 but at El Questro we lost the 4wd in our Jeep and didn't want to risk it, so headed back to Kununurra.

5:26 am

SaraY

We are looking forward to north Queensland but have been stymied over the past 2 years with a pending law suit - yuk!

5:26 am

sandyloo

probably wise Sara, we loved every minute of our trip, did you go to the thermal pools at el questro?

5:27 am

sandyloo

a law suit is no fun

5:31 am

SaraY

Do you mean Zebedee Springs? Yes, we did, and got there early before most of the tourists.

5:32 am

sandyloo

yes i do , we loved it and stayed for ages, we also went horse riding and really enjoyed the gorges etc

5:33 am

NonoNanette

note nota

5:34 am

sandyloo

thanks nan

5:34 am

sandyloo

didnt have that second one

5:35 am

SaraY

A wonderful part of Australia. We saw Amalia and Emma Gorges - the ones you can reach without 4wd.

5:42 am

sandyloo

so many wonderful parts to see all over aus, I feel lucky to live in australia

5:44 am

sandyloo

LOL daughter is telling me to go on "Come Dine With Me" I told her I definitely dont want to go on Tele LOL

6:10 am

SaraY

You must be a super cook, let me know if you change your mind and I will tune in!

6:17 am

sandyloo

sorry just went out for a little walk

6:17 am

sandyloo

dinnertime now

6:33 am

jmcnrick

hi all

6:34 am

sandyloo

hi jm

6:34 am

SaraY

hi jim

6:36 am

jmcnrick

sorry to he** the continued drought stories i thought it had eased a bit

6:41 am

SaraY

depends where in the country - some farmers are expecting their best harvest in 10 years, whereas other places have been flooded out with losses of crops and stock. What we need is a national 'happy medium'.

6:43 am

jmcnrick

in kenya the are using more and more rain tanks to even out the feast/famine rain they have there

6:44 am

jmcnrick

but then most kenyans have no water system at all other than going down to the river

6:46 am

SaraY

In Australia the government gives a rebate to suburban home-owners installing a rain tank. In some areas building approval will not be given unless a rain tank is included in the plans.

6:46 am

jmcnrick

that sounds very reasonable especially considering the water issues

6:48 am

jmcnrick

huh, it does not accept huhs

6:48 am

SaraY

I think it is a great idea. The same thing is starting to happen with solar panels as a source of alternate power.

6:49 am

jmcnrick

yes i plan on adding solar panels when i do an addition on my house

6:49 am

SaraY

huhs - I tried that one, with no luck. Also 'satan' which is in my Macquarie Dictionary.

6:50 am

jmcnrick

i have never understood why it wont take satan

6:50 am

sandyloo

I think satan must be a proper noun

6:50 am

jmcnrick

we have something in common sara

6:51 am

jmcnrick

my daddy's family was "convict" stock in georgia in the 1700

6:53 am

SaraY

Where did the convict come from? I have convicts on both my father's and mother's side of the family. My father's convict ancestor (his great-grandfather) was James Brown - try researching that name with virtually no information! Enough to turn your hair grey or be pulled out in frustration.

6:54 am

jmcnrick

what are the stats on the Z please

6:54 am

jmcnrick

scotland sent over by the brits

6:54 am

6:59 am

NonoNanette

how long did you play before going pro Sara?

7:00 am

SaraY

I know, I have seen many abbreviations I am trying to work out. eg, what does 'prodom' mean? 'np' is obviously 'no problem' and 'ty' thank you, but what is 'ntb' (or is it 'nbt')?

7:00 am

NonoNanette

nbt is no blank tiles

7:01 am

jmcnrick

nbt is no blank tile meaning you have a word from each of the tiles

7:01 am

7:05 am

SaraY

Got it. Yes I paid for the membership about 2 weeks ago. My daughter knew I enjoyed word puzzles and suggested I look at Babble. It was recommended to her as a way of increasing her vocabulary as part of a university post-grad course in editing. PS Sometimes I wish she hadn't told me, as there are soooo many other things I should be doing!

7:05 am

ChampFit

Please say 'cat hair' to make me feel better about all the dog hair around me! ;)

7:22 am

herinfernallady

Both actually. I have been snuggling Lucius and have been wearing a hat that looks like a kitty

7:22 am

FMitch

lol Champ and herin!

7:23 am

ChampFit

Seriously...it's so bad!!! Must learn to knit...

7:23 am

herinfernallady

My friend made me a hat that is white and has ears and ear flaps

7:23 am

ChampFit

Cute! What was the occasion?

7:23 am

FMitch

7:23 am

herinfernallady

Because I wanted a hat.

7:24 am

ChampFit

7:24 am

herinfernallady

It needs eyes and a mouth first because it looks very very weird at the moment

7:24 am

herinfernallady

That and my g.f is awesome sewing

7:24 am

FMitch

everyone knows how much babblers love to see pics.

7:25 am

ChampFit

Wonder what she could do with 100 lbs of dog hair...

7:25 am

herinfernallady

Weave it and make it into a sweater

7:25 am

FMitch

spin it on a spinning wheel and then knoit into something.

7:25 am

FMitch

*knit even!

7:26 am

Just one baby chicken and lots and lots of stinky cows. There may be one or two calfs on the way. I think maybe horses on the back paddock. They are renting the house and the landlord has the rest. I think someone is renting the stables

8:17 am

car.eeyore

Lol! Stinky cows! For some reason that made me laugh!

8:21 am

car.eeyore

Scrabbler

Ennio Morricone--composer of the soundtrack of The Mission--beuatiful music!!

8:39 am

Scrabbler

But, Car, I need income.

8:40 am

car.eeyore

It would help if I had speakers that worked on my laptop! Will have to look him up another time!

8:40 am

rubyfoo

I got the name wrong but didn't he also write the soundtracks for the spaghetti westerns? I was thinking of herin's cow skull.....

8:40 am

herinfernallady

thanks

8:40 am

car.eeyore

8:41 am

Mom

8:42 am

Scrabbler

I did almost everything on my to-do list yest--laundry, fresh litter boxes for the bunnies, vacuuming.

8:42 am

lexophile

Good morning Babblers

8:42 am

rubyfoo

hello lex

8:42 am

Mom

thanks Scrabbler, I do need to run the sweeper

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Hi lexo

8:42 am

Mom

hi and bye Lexo

8:42 am

rubyfoo

scrabbler, is it easy to litter-box train bunnies?

8:43 am

car.eeyore

Hi Lexo!

8:43 am

car.eeyore

Ruby...my bunny trained very easily.

8:43 am

lexophile

this is a fun grid! half-way already, yipee!

8:43 am

rubyfoo

car, do you also have a dog?

8:43 am

rubyfoo

I am thinking of getting one as a pet for my chow chows

8:44 am

car.eeyore

When we had the bunny we did not have a dog. Our bunny passed away and now we live with my mom who has a dog. So when we get new bunnies this spring it should be interesting!

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Yep! Even older bunnies--my 2 foster now adopted bunnies were easily trained. When you fisrt get a bunny, keep them in the cage, place a box (no clay litters, just the recycled paper material) in a corner, and when they consistently use the box, I let 'em loose.

8:45 am

rubyfoo

what kind of dog? my husband thinks our (gentle) dogs would kill it

8:45 am

car.eeyore

SQUEEEEEE!! Bunnies! I miss mine!

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Car, you will get new bunnies? *squeal*

8:45 am

car.eeyore

Oh it is a terrier mix, so it won't be good at all!

8:45 am

car.eeyore

Yes, the boys both would like one this spring, "for easter".

8:45 am

herinfernallady

I am wondering if G will be at classes tomorrow. I don'[t know what to say to her as her fiancé died last week.

8:46 am

Scrabbler

I know people that mix dogs, cats + bunnies. I worry that bunny would become eaten.

8:46 am

car.eeyore

I am thinking we might keep the hutch out on the attached enclosed porch and then let them out there and then in the house when the dog is in a room with the door closed.

8:46 am

car.eeyore

Oh Herin. I am sorry to hear that.

8:46 am

Scrabbler

You don't have to say anything. Just listen, hug her, ask her how you can help.

8:47 am

car.eeyore

Scrabs, my bunny terrorized my cats! It was so funny!

8:47 am

ItalianGreyhound

sghjkl J

8:47 am

8:47 am

rubyfoo

8:47 am

car.eeyore

Scrabbler

Silly bunny, Car!

8:48 am

herinfernallady

8:48 am

sandyloo

just sent you an email ruby

8:48 am

car.eeyore

No, Ruby! I never had the camera handy when it happened! Van Gogh (our bunny) would charge at the kitties and keep them at bay! The cats would jump high in the air to avoid him! He did not like the feel of the tile on the kitchen floor, so he would stay in the living room and keep them in the kitchen!

8:49 am

rubyfoo

I love that car! I can picture the cats jumping in fright

8:49 am

ItalianGreyhound

translation: Oops

8:49 am

herinfernallady

My friend has a rescue rabbit. He is known as a very bad name

8:49 am

Scrabbler

My friend's bunny hangs out with the cats--they groom each other + snuggle together.

8:49 am

rubyfoo

thank you, Sandy, I will go and look. Please forgive me for being so remiss with the promised "memoir"

8:50 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, our houseguest didn't stay. I was greatly relieved that he found it too difficult going back and forth to his meetings in Geneva

8:51 am

car.eeyore

Oh Scrabs! too cute!

8:52 am

rubyfoo

how bad is the name?

8:52 am

car.eeyore

Well everyone, it has been nice chatting with you all! I must go and be productive for a while and get the kiddies off to school!

8:52 am

11:28 am

zoozzoom

got 178 left here

11:30 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, but I started at flip, couldn't sleep, had a set to with a couple of tossers who got hold of my mobile no. and were harrassing me with it, had them threatening action coz I posed the number it was sent from -- yeah, he was stupid enough not to block the number when he rang me, ha, ha!! funny!

11:30 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

nothing they can do, they're at fault

11:30 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

posted, not posed, lol!

11:30 am

zoozzoom

thats a point, did you work out how to block numbers now?

11:31 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, at long last!

11:31 am

zoozzoom

good :-)

11:32 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

found out who was behind it all as well, the pillock who rang me also had his number on the web, in a lost and found site -- too funny, got his name from that by googling the number, ha!

11:33 am

zoozzoom

serves him right th4..lol

11:34 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

then the person who gave him my number and put him up to it all was stupid enough to post about it on twitter, so got him as well, lol! he got my no. off someone else, grabbed it from a m8's address book, bloody sneaky!! will have to change my no. now, which is a right pain with all the contacts I have to notify about it!!

11:35 am

zoozzoom

yes, seems like you have to do all the running around changing things, because of a couple of idiots.

11:36 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

funny though, coz when I posted the number he was ringing from on my twitter and yahoo pages, Soodle saw it there -- I'd posted an update with the number, then saying 'he likes to sing, keep him busy' and a lot of my contacts were doing that, lol!

11:37 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

he was calling me and singing badly at me, when I didn't answer and let it go to voice mail he left his horrible singing on there!

11:37 am

zoozzoom

LOL, bet he was pleased..not.

11:37 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

so Soodlebum rang him up and she and her kids sang really badly at him, several times -- his name's Oliver so they sang the song 'Oliver' at him, ha, ha!!

11:37 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, well, just desserts eh!?

11:38 am

zoozzoom

11:38 am

12:49 pm

redturtlehead

flosey please do not be upset, is all ok?

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

12:50 pm

flosey

12:50 pm

Scrabbler

I just ordered 3 Louise Penny books--mysteries. Recommended by Babbler Gail.

12:51 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Not familiar with Alice Munro, but will get a copy. Thanks

12:51 pm

redturtlehead

scrabbler, if you like mysteries, you would enjoy Colin Cotteril, about a Coroner in Laos, just a fun read...I can send you a copy of the first one.

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

she is one of my favorite authors, underappreciated, I think. And I really like short fiction

12:51 pm

Scrabbler

Let me look him up.

12:51 pm

flosey

George, somehow I hit the block messages, so I can't even respond to you

12:52 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

12:53 pm

flosey

Can you invite me again, George?

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

that is horrible, flosey, and at 38! Is that a result of the lyme disease?

12:53 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

no, flosey, not if you've blocked me

12:53 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

you have to unblock me, or no invite will go through even if I do delete and try to readd you!

12:54 pm

redturtlehead

BBL, scrabbs, let me know if you want the coroners lunch...

12:54 pm

Scrabbler

1:04 pm

redturtlehead

jmcnrick

i am so impressed by your dedication to running red

1:04 pm

jessmom

hi red

1:04 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Jessmom :-)

1:04 pm

jessmom

hi zooz!

1:05 pm

redturtlehead

it is not that impressive jmc, I actually like to do it, so it's like someone elses dedication to say making cookies, something I hate...

1:05 pm

jmcnrick

seems to me running 8 miles is plenty!

1:05 pm

redturtlehead

I have a 9 mile race in 2 weeks or so...and I am not really ready but..what can one do..

1:05 pm

jmcnrick

well i can't say that i do! running is not even on the radar

1:06 pm

Nef

Hello, all. It's a gorgeous day here; and I have a list of things to do a mile long; but here I sit; looking for non-exsitant words.

1:06 pm

redturtlehead

if I had to get up and make cookies 3-4 times a week I would be miserable. or say get up and do ZUmba! eeek!

1:06 pm

jmcnrick

walking i can at least imagine and occasionally make a stab at

1:06 pm

jmcnrick

hi nef

1:06 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Nef :-)

1:06 pm

redturtlehead

hi Nef, how are you and the husband?

1:06 pm

1:06 pm

Nef

LOL! NOW I see why I'm not finding words! I can't spell today! :-D

1:08 pm

1:09 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Watch that first leap, jmc.

1:10 pm

Nef

Mondays aren't good leaping days (in my mind anyway)

1:11 pm

redturtlehead

I liek Mondays so far in September I have not had to work one. which is a relief because I worked all 5 in August.

1:11 pm

redturtlehead

ahh volcano alert!

1:12 pm

Nef

it's a pain when you have to work all the Mondays or Fridays in a month, isn't it?

1:12 pm

redturtlehead

It was difficult, as mondays can be so crazy.

1:12 pm

Nef

I forgot; what type of unit are you working in? ER??

1:13 pm

redturtlehead

yup ER. I am enjoying it for the most part.

1:14 pm

Nef

I didn't realize that ER would be crazy on Mondays. I thought Firdays were the worst day of the week in ER. Then again; I've never worked ER; so what do I know?

1:14 pm

redturtlehead

Mondays and then Fridays are the worst, but Mondays top all...

1:15 pm

redturtlehead

My personal belief is that people think they will see their MD on Mon, btu then the MD office is crammed, so they are told to go to the ED. and of course because they waited all weekend some of them are sicker...

1:16 pm

redturtlehead

but we dont know why really.

1:16 pm

Nef

Wow. I know that Mondays were tough in the CV-ICU I worked in because of all the new surgicals coming in (it was our busiest evening/night shifts)

1:17 pm

redturtlehead

Oh wow, I bet those were popular shifts (not!)

1:17 pm

Nef

Ahh! Now that makes sense! :-)

1:18 pm

Hello Everyone

1:19 pm

zoozzoom

WB, River :-)

1:19 pm

Nef

I didn't mind working Monday eves or nights; and I'll bet I worked more Mondays than I should have because I never complained about it

1:19 pm

Riverdance

thanks zooz - just only a a few minutes break from work

1:19 pm

Nef

hi River

1:19 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Must take a nap....be back later....good luck to all.

1:20 pm

redturtlehead

I imagine so Nef...I really dont like Mondays. partly too because there is something so nice about being off when everyone else is rushing off to work.

1:20 pm

zoozzoom

Bye for now Peach, happy napping :-)

1:20 pm

redturtlehead

6:18 pm

jillibus

Hi nef too :)

6:18 pm

jillibus

I assume the tennis is postponed again?

6:19 pm

jillibus

Nef, I know how it is with keyboards --finding the laptop very hard to get used to. This is the regular desktop one.

6:21 pm

Nef

I have to correct ne**ly everything I type and as soon as I forget to read something; it's either mis-spelled or has extra letters/symbols in it

6:21 pm

Nef

When I use the laptop; I plug the regular keyboard into the laptop so I don't have to deal with the tiny keyboard

6:22 pm

jillibus

my laptop has a bilingual keyboard with extra letter in blue, and no words on the Shift, Enter,Tab keys etc -- very confusing.

6:23 pm

jillibus

My laptop has a big keyboard -- it's a 15" one, wide screen.

6:23 pm

jillibus

And I suffer from Typonitis anyway.

6:23 pm

Nef

not that would be way too confusing for me, jilli!

6:24 pm

Nef

(the bilingual keyboard I mean)

6:24 pm

jillibus

yes, well, that's because it's Canadian so French must be allowed.

6:25 pm

Nef

LOL!

6:25 pm

Shivs Fitz

Sorry Jilli, if you answered... was away for a while. I'm back, but having to leave this and go to bed.

6:25 pm

Well, Shivs, it was good to see you anyway, no matter how briefly.

6:26 pm

Shivs Fitz

LOL, thanks... you too. :o)

6:29 pm

redturtlehead

HiJilli!

6:33 pm

Shivs Fitz

6:33 pm

I have to be somewhere in town here in the morning with my daughter, so we came in and stayed over... George isn't home yet, he went out for the evening before we arrived. He should be in any time. :o)

7:21 pm

featherbee

7:23 pm

featherbee

7:25 pm

Shivs Fitz

Oh it's nothing exciting... Molly has an appointment in town, so this was easier, a little more convenient than having to drive in from Beckenham so early. Now I really should get to sleep... did hope to see Georgie first, but not staying up any longer. :oP

7:25 pm

featherbee

7:27 pm

LeslieAnn

whether tis nobler in the mind to bear the slings and arrows or words that start with vowels

7:28 pm

LeslieAnn

7:28 pm

featherbee

lol, nice leslie!

7:53 pm

flosey

I'm not finding the sa6 after the sa8, any clues?

7:54 pm

dcseain

if you search for that phrase, you'll find the word. It starts with several consonants and is latinate in form

7:55 pm

dcseain

flosey, like a man's name CA***, with different last vowel

7:55 pm

Nef

as + adverb + 2 vowels

8:00 pm

Nef

this one definitely has convinced me not to tackle grids over 300 these days.

8:01 pm

jbp

yeah, i've googled, i've thesaurized... unless salubriousness is in the grid...

8:01 pm

Nef

I thought you were just being oppositional this evening, SeaSpray. ;-)

8:01 pm

jbp

hi Nef

8:01 pm

SeaSpray

No, I am watching the football game and biting my nails

8:02 pm

10:01 pm

Nef

I know what you mean. I didn't play for a year or so and saw my stats go way down too; it's harder to get them up th** it was to keep them up! I now tell myself I deserve a break to play Babble as often as I can. I enjoy it and find it helpful for my brain

hi crossy. How are you tonight?

10:23 pm

crosshair

:)

10:23 pm

Nef

:-)

10:23 pm

crosshair

not too bad at all;)

10:24 pm

crosshair

but having a tiny grid followed by a monster grid is cramping my style;/

10:25 pm

Nef

Say, someone asked me the other day about e-readers and I forgot which one you said was best. (I'll use that as an excuse for still being here chipping away at this grid) ;-)

10:26 pm

crosshair

LOL! i am only 20,000 from making it to the dead last position on the villiage elders list:)

10:26 pm

crosshair

as of this time,seeing as you are in the states,i must reccomend the barnes and noble nook reader hands down

10:26 pm

crosshair

i also own one and the wife owns a sony reader

10:27 pm

Nef

really? Why?

10:27 pm

crosshair

ok....

10:28 pm

crosshair

the kindle does not even make the grade because it is not a open file format reader.it uses proprietary format exclusive to amazon,which mean no e-pub format,which is used by all libraries

10:28 pm

crosshair

so now we are down to sony or nook....

10:28 pm

crosshair

each are good but there are small differences

10:29 pm

crosshair

for the real vision impared,go with the sony 600 touch screen reader

10:29 pm

crosshair

it has 1 extra font size option than the nook

10:29 pm

Nef

okay (madly copying and pasting your responses for later)

10:30 pm

crosshair

the nook on the other hand has 2 screens...

10:30 pm

crosshair

a text non touch screen as well as a lower colour touch screen

10:31 pm

crosshair

the sony has landscape and protrait screen layout,the nook just portrait....

10:31 pm

crosshair

the nook on the other hand in the base model has chess and sukudo and will go online

10:32 pm

Pinikula

hi all...here to get a few more...

10:32 pm

crosshair

so it is all about personal preference

10:32 pm

crosshair

howdy pini

10:32 pm

Pinikula

hi crossy...am I interrupting a sale? :)

10:33 pm

crosshair

if you use a lot of pdf files with scetches and pictures,go with the sony

10:33 pm

crosshair

nope,someone just asked for advice

10:33 pm

crosshair

cause pdf looks better in landscape

10:34 pm

crosshair

if you want to library crawl in e-pub,go with the nook

10:34 pm

Pinikula

* giggle * (thought that might be the case; it's nice to know someone has knowledge!)

10:34 pm

crosshair

any other info i can give you?

10:34 pm

Nef

Hi Pini. No a friend had asked me about e-readers and I'd been here recently when crossy was talking about them. So I told my friend to wait til I got the info from crossy

10:35 pm

crosshair

oh and 1 biggie..the battery pack is only replacable by the consumer in the nook,the sony and the kindle are factory change only

10:35 pm

crosshair

and the nook can take a 32 gig micro sd card as well

10:36 pm

crosshair

so each have merits

10:36 pm

Nef

Whew! That's a lot of info in a short time! Thanks, crossy!

10:37 pm

crosshair

all in my mind nef,all in my mind...problem is i cannot remember where my pants are! lol

10:37 pm

Nef

Oh-oh. I gotta help DH get into the shower; BRB!

10:37 pm

Pinikula

* giggle *

10:38 pm

crosshair

i spent a year researching before we got the wifes reader and 2 years before i got mine,so i sifted though tons of reviews and other info on them

10:38 pm

Pinikula

If I finish this grid, it will be a miracle!

10:38 pm

Pinikula

...and your brief thought on the iPad?

10:39 pm

crosshair

does not accept flash....thats my deal breaker

10:39 pm

crosshair

does not get briefer than that lol

10:39 pm

Pinikula

flash? application?

10:40 pm

crosshair

yup..so many sites use flash,i cannot see myself using an i pad for any more than a office program and a reader or maybe a jukebox

10:40 pm

Pinikula

gotcha ;)

10:40 pm

Pinikula

and the preference between the sony and nook?

10:40 pm

crosshair

it it took adobe flash..i would of had one already

10:40 pm

Pinikula

(don't need the specifics, just overall impression)

10:40 pm

oro

10:41 pm

crosshair

i must go with the nook at this time,unless you use a ton of non fiction pdf text books and such

10:41 pm

Pinikula

think highway

10:41 pm

crosshair

crossy loves his nook

10:41 pm

Pinikula

I'll keep that in mind, crossy! :)

10:42 pm

crosshair

10:42 pm

Nef

11:07 pm

Pinikula

...will be back closer to flip. ;)

11:08 pm

Jellen

Bye, Pini...

11:16 pm

Nef

Sorry, got called away to help DH out of shower and dried him off.

11:17 pm

Nef

Joey, that lymphedema is a PITA; but keep working on it. Do you have the jobst glove and sleeve to help control it?

11:29 pm

mrpresident

afternoon all :)

11:29 pm

Nef

hi mrp! How are you these days? I haven't seen you in a long time!

11:30 pm

mrpresident

hi nef! doing good thanks! long time no see! was looking forward to working tonight, but am rained out!

11:30 pm

Nef

what kind of work?

11:31 pm

mrpresident

soccer refereeing. Doing it three nights a week.

11:31 pm

Nef

Wow! I bet you get your workouts that way.

11:32 pm

mrpresident

indeed! but summer football is easier... smaller fields! I can do 5 games a night, rather than 2 games a day in winter!!

11:34 pm

Nef

5 games a night? YIKES! Do you have to run up and down the fields in these games? (I've never watched a complete soccer game before...

11:35 pm

Nef

Why would winter fields be bigger than summer fields?

11:37 pm

Nef

I give up on this grid. 84 words left to find and I can't do it.

11:37 pm

mrpresident

winter fields are 11 a side and 90 minutes... summer fields are 5 a side and 40 minutes.

11:38 pm

Nef

okay, but why such a difference?

11:38 pm

mrpresident

the fields are pretty much half the size of the large ones, and the ball is heavier and doesn't bounce well... it is really futsal rules I guess.

11:39 pm

mrpresident

I guess the weather is the reason... it is too hot to run the distance or the time.

11:40 pm

Nef

Oh! That makes sense!

11:40 pm

mrpresident

84 left! you could do it!!

11:41 pm

Nef

ANd you sometimes ref 5 games a night? What about the referee getting dehydrated?

11:41 pm

Nef

In 20 minutes, mrp? I don't think so! :-)

11:41 pm

mrpresident

we get a 4 minute break in between games! LOL!!

11:42 pm

mrpresident

hey, that is 4 words a minute! but I understand why that might be hard... this grid was higglety-piggelty

11:42 pm

oro

ok help 7 left st8/45

11:42 pm

Nef

4 minutes to rehydrate and go to the bathroom, etc? that's inhumane!

11:43 pm

mrpresident

11:43 pm

mrpresident
