1:31 am
rururocks

*blesses all Babblers within reach*
1:31 am
J. C.

1:31 am
westford

lol thanks ruru
1:31 am
J. C.

I'm fairly sure I'm not one of the six, westford. :P

1:38 am
rururocks

(puts out cranberry sauce)
1:38 am
jillibus

It's old-fashioned, josh
1:38 am
westford

title of respect I hear
1:38 am
joshuavorbis

that explains it, then
1:38 am
joshuavorbis

i should have gone a few centuries earlier
1:38 am
PAV3

fresh or canned?
1:39 am
westford

now you'll have to take a shower ruru
1:39 am
jillibus

I seem to remember seeing it in stories like Ali Baba or something.
1:39 am
rururocks

???
1:39 am
westford

because you have cranberry sauce all over you
1:40 am
rururocks

I don't need a shower.. I have Ocean Spray

westford

gj jilli

jillibus

such a quaint phrase, west!
1:41 am
rururocks

I actually have no caution at all ... not one cautious bone...
1:41 am
jillibus

sure, pav, right from the start
1:41 am
westford

I thought you'd appreciate it jilli lol
1:42 am
jillibus

1:42 am
westford

I quite like quaint
1:42 am
westford

they really are

rururocks

okay.. I need to go get horizontal.
1:43 am
PAV3

45 left and the midnight hiccup approaches...ta ta! we'll be back in the morning later...much later...

westford

1:45 am
jillibus

1:45 am
westford

1:46 am
jillibus

Well, WE think so
1:47 am
westford

that sounds great though is she with a team?
1:48 am
jillibus

1:48 am
jillibus

She's at a party tonight
1:48 am

1:48 am
jillibus

Vancouver.

1:50 am
jillibus

really my hubby's niece.
1:50 am
westford

and now she's riding a bike..good for her
1:51 am
westford

I was thinking she would be about your granddaughter's age
1:51 am
jillibus

She's always been athletic -- used to play and then coach Ringette (a type of ice hockey for girls).
1:52 am
westford

I never was and I never will be
1:52 am
jillibus

She's in her 50s -- born on the same day as me.
1:52 am
westford

and my mother !! lol
1:53 am
westford

that was a busy date
1:53 am
jillibus

Great day, right? Should be an international public holiday, lol!
1:53 am
joshuavorbis

what day would that be?
1:54 am
westford

we'll have to think of a name for it
1:54 am
jillibus

May 17.
1:54 am
joshuavorbis

my cousin's is the 16th, but that's all i got
1:54 am
westford

not close enough josh sorry lol
1:54 am
jillibus

close, but no cigar, josh.
1:55 am
westford

what's your niece's name jilli?
1:56 am
jillibus

Well, I'm going to pack it in now -- hiccup approaches -- goodnight all and happy babbling :) -- *poof*

1:56 am
joshuavorbis

1:56 am
jillibus

well, Gwendolyn actually.
1:57 am
westford

that would make it the Terry-Jilli-Gwen Day
1:57 am
westford

my mom's name is Theresa
1:57 am
jillibus

I doubt if I'll have a chance, west :(
1:57 am
joshuavorbis

mine's sandra
1:58 am
jillibus

I have a friend called Gwen Day, lol!
1:58 am
westford

what? you're not really josh?
1:58 am
westford

oh you mean your niece
1:58 am
jillibus

(I was going to bed...)
1:58 am
jillibus

no, not my niece, another old friend
1:58 am
westford

best laid plans jilli
1:59 am
westford

I think Gwendolyn is such a beautiful name
1:59 am
westford

and Jillian too
1:59 am
jillibus

I like it too...
1:59 am
jillibus

Gillian, please.
1:59 am
westford

mine is so ordinary
2:00 am
westford

oh I think I knew that
2:00 am
jillibus

I like yours, west.
2:00 am
J. C.

There's nothing wrong with your name, Nancy. It's quite pleasant sounding.
2:03 am
westford

thanks JC but not very sophisticated
2:03 am
joshuavorbis

my mum's name, sorry
2:03 am
joshuavorbis

my mum's name, sorry
2:03 am
flosey

falling asleep again, off to bed, 29 to go, goodnight all
2:03 am
J. C.

Why not, westford?
2:04 am
J. C.

I think it depends on the person carrying the name.
2:04 am
J. C.

What about your mum's name, Josh?
2:04 am
J. C.

My mum's name is Brenda.
2:04 am
joshuavorbis

got sucked up by the hiccup - my mum's name is sandra
2:05 am
J. C.

Ah, yes. Some words I tried entering in the grid did also, but I see they went in anyway.
2:11 am
jhb

HiChristine - good evening, morning, afternoon of whatever. How many words are there tonight>
2:13 am
jhb

She must have gone to make tea. Can somebody please tell me how many words?

2:13 am
jhb

2:14 am
Christine

Hello, Luv - I was playing Spider Solitaire
2:14 am
jhb

Hello to you too. So you have diverted your attention to the opposition?
2:15 am
Christine

I keep drifting, then I see some words & come back to Babbleland.
2:16 am
jhb

Well I have just come on tonight and so I am way behind everybody.
2:22 am
Christine

I have only 108 words, and I signed-in soon after the flip
2:23 am
jhb

It's dinner time here - 8.25 pm - so I think I'll come back later. By all.

It was an eetse peetsy teeny weeny...
3:02 am
Kallia

good morning Sprite.....you are in a sunny mood today :)
3:02 am
rubyfoo

those are all pieces of songs I should know, but I think I need more coffee before I can retrieve the lyrics!
3:02 am
rubyfoo

hello kalia
3:02 am
sprite

hi Kallia, I fake it till I make it, lol.
3:02 am
Kallia

good morning Ruby
3:02 am
Kallia

oh yes I know all about that
3:03 am
sprite

:D
3:03 am
Kallia

but it is a sunny day here
3:03 am
Christine

Rubyfoo - sorry for the delay. jhb is my sister Judith
3:03 am
Kallia

cold though
3:04 am
Christine

Sprite, how is your husband?
3:04 am
sprite

here as well, cold but sunny. I don't mind cold, if it means it is sunny though. Could easily stand this weather until end of march, personally.
3:04 am
rubyfoo

ahah, that is lovely, to have a sister who plays. Mine won't even get a computer!
3:04 am
rubyfoo

stubborn like a chow
3:05 am
sprite

my husband is doing well! He is out today, canoeing on wild water 1 in open canoe, teaching a friend how to do it.
3:07 am
sprite

Christine, such a charming church you have there.
3:10 am
sprite

...test...
3:11 am
Christine

It's beautiful inside, too. Very small, a copy of a Scots village church.
3:11 am
sprite

it looks beautiful. Must have a special atmosphere as well, I bet.
3:12 am
Christine

Rubyfoo, we have another sister (in UK) who used to play, about 6 or 7 years ago, then she stopped. I think she's very vusy with g'chikldren, and researching our family tree.
3:12 am
sprite

rubyfoo, maybe she does not feel up to learning something so new and alien.
3:13 am
Christine

*oops - busy with g'children
3:13 am
rubyfoo

my sister, too, grandchildren and familty tree. But she refuses to get a computer which I think is crazy as she has 3 teenage grandsons, all of whom use computers and live far from her
3:13 am
rubyfoo

She expects handwritten letters which won't happen
3:13 am
sprite

lol fuzzy or busy...
3:14 am
Christine

Smart girl, not to get a computer -- look how much time we spend online.
3:14 am
rubyfoo

but she's a very good typist and I think feels that way to set herself apart
3:14 am
sprite

she is depriving herself and her grandsons of a lot of fun and easy contact. Handwritten letters? LOL!
3:15 am
rubyfoo

I type much faster than I write
3:15 am
sprite

Christine, so true. But without the computer, I would be very isolated.
3:15 am
rubyfoo

my life, isolated here in France, would be impossible without a computer
3:17 am
sprite

well I think demanding other people to live by your rules is taking it too far, grin. So what does she do? Send back typed letters unopened?
3:17 am
Kallia

that's me done for now. 52 left after first pass, about 20 mins doubt the rest will come as easy lol
3:18 am
sprite

lol Kallia, but wtg!
3:18 am
rubyfoo

typing is OK, but no computer. Can you imagine teenage boys going to the post office to mail letters?
3:18 am
Kallia

see you all later maybe
3:18 am
sprite

I hope so, Kallia. Have a lovelly day.
3:18 am
sprite

lovely* even
3:18 am
rubyfoo

bye kalia, that was very quick. I have 96 only
3:18 am
sprite

rubyfoo, mine does
3:19 am
rubyfoo

you have raised your children right, sprite!!!!
3:19 am
Christine

Here, in Los Angeles, the mailboxes have been removed, for me to mail a letter I must go to the postoffice, and thats about $15. each way (plus tip), so I write very few letters. But my sisters (in UK and NZ) and I stay in touch online or on the 'phone.
3:20 am
sprite

trying to, rubyfoo, trying to
3:20 am
sprite

Christine, mailboxes removed?? My, that is drastic.
3:21 am
rubyfoo

that is like trying to find a pay hone in NY; they've gotten rid of them by attrition
3:21 am
Christine

I remember when I first came to the US, transatlantic calls were so expensive, letters really were the only way we could afford to stay in contact.
3:21 am
sprite

how fast the wo5 changes...
3:21 am
dizgrannie

just had a quick read thro, my g/kids and I keep in touch thro webcam and their cousins (with each other) thro email etc..so much more conveinient although I still prefer receiving REAL mail...LOL
3:21 am
rubyfoo

years and years ago, when I lived in Paris, my mother and I used to write to each other several times a week -- and she saved all the letters
3:22 am
Christine

Pay 'phone have all but disappeared. The Postal Service removed the boxes, and saved on the salaries of the collectors.
3:22 am
sprite

real letters are so nice. I still write them and receive them. But I love email and skype.
3:23 am
sprite

and hi, dizgrannie :)
3:23 am
dizgrannie

Christine, most of our payphones here are by prepaid cards only
3:23 am
dizgrannie

hey ya sprite and all
3:23 am
rubyfoo

hello diz!
3:24 am
rubyfoo

does unsit mean stand up?
3:24 am
dizgrannie

hey Ruby
3:24 am
Christine

Even I now have a cell phone (about 3 years) but not everyone has a home phone, and the payphones were always busy, when I passed by, so I think there's some call to leave a few.
3:24 am
sprite

and undie is living
3:25 am
rubyfoo

exactly!
3:25 am

3:26 am

eeeeewwww Christine!
3:26 am
Christine

stuid? is that like stooooopid?
3:26 am

too stupid to spell.
3:26 am
sprite

oh god sorry, that sounds much ruder than I meant... it was a joke, rubyfoo.
3:26 am
rubyfoo

ooh, that smarts!
3:27 am
rubyfoo

I know, hahahah
3:27 am
dizgrannie

my 83 yr old mum lurves her puter but still sends cards to her 4 dtrs (and partners), 9 g/kids (and partners) and 17 going on 18 great g/kids....she does make her own ones on her puter, which makes it all the more special
3:27 am
sprite

*giggles*
3:27 am
sprite

wow dizgrannie, that is very special. How lovely.
3:27 am
rubyfoo

that is terrific about your mum, diz
3:29 am
dizgrannie

LOL she spends a fortune in ink, but she reckons its worth it cos so much more special for each individual...(guess what us 4 girls buy her for birfy and chrissie...LOL)
3:29 am
sprite

just brilliant. Great family, diz :D
3:30 am
dizgrannie

3:33 am

...and I memorise each xxxx
just like before....
it's yesterday once more....
(all the *****s are goodies....)
3:35 am
Christine

My son-in-law's parents retired and mooved from their home of 40+ years to a new area - near the coast in England, completely closed up in the winter, and I suggested he buy a laptop for his Mum so she can stay in touch. The Dad pooh-poohs the idea, saying she's too old.
3:36 am
sprite

never too old. No such thing as too old. My grandfather kept learning new things until he was into his 90s.
3:36 am
jhb

Hi Christine - so that's where Chris gets it huh?
3:36 am
rubyfoo

even my husband uses his computer and he can barely type
3:36 am
sprite

hi jhb Christine's sister
3:37 am
Christine

Well, she's lodt touch with all her old friends and neighbours, so I think it'd be good for her - stay in touch with her boys.
3:37 am
rubyfoo

hello christine's sister, now that yur secret is out!!!
3:37 am
Christine

Yes, Christopher takes after his Dad, I think.
3:37 am
jhb

Hi sprite - yes I am Christine's sister in New Zealand. How are you.
3:38 am
sprite

am good, glad to 'meet' you.
3:38 am
rubyfoo

maybe you should just get her a PC and give her lessons
3:38 am
sprite

yep, get her going would help. Once she knows the fun of skype and email, she won't be stopped by a pooh-poohing husband anymore.
3:38 am
Christine

Judith, Marianne and I started Babbling back in 2004, then we all drifted away for a couple of years.
3:39 am
jhb

Quite new to this game rubyfoo and sprite. But hope to get better the more I play. However, I think there is an evil goblin somewhere who puts the grids together - and does he have a monopoly on making up words. He doesn't like my made ups.
3:39 am
Christine

Her other son lives in England, and I'm sure he'd help her get started.
3:39 am
rubyfoo

I've been playing for 10 months and still am not very good at it
3:40 am
Christine

Judith, remember you used to play, way back when.
3:40 am
rubyfoo

but friends in the chog help a lot
3:40 am
sprite

jhb, that pretty much sums it up! Enable is very partial on which crazy wo5 are accepted and which ones are not. But the nice part is, what seems crazy shifts after a while ;)
3:40 am
rubyfoo

and I've had fireworks about 4 or 5 times!
3:40 am
jhb

Christine - it was more than a couple of years. I haven't played since around 2004.
3:41 am
jhb

Congrats rubyfoo. so there is hope for me yet?
3:41 am
sprite

my ever recurring advice is: as long as you have fun playing, who cares about fireworks?
3:41 am
rubyfoo

little by litt,e we learn the dopey babblets
3:42 am
rubyfoo

yes, that's how I feel and therefore don't list.
3:42 am
jhb

Great thanks sprite. And now off to clear up the kitchen after dinner. See you all my new friends. I must say you make me very welcome. Nitht.
3:42 am
rubyfoo

bye jhb! maybe see you tomorrow
3:43 am
sprite

best way to learn more, if you ask me. I remembered every babblet or crazy wo4 that was clued to me in chat. But I don't think I would remember if I got them from the list.
3:43 am
rubyfoo

right
3:43 am
sprite

night jhb, have a good evening :)
3:43 am
jhb

Night big sister. Speak soon. Have you managed to speak to our other sister this weekend. I haven't been able to get her.
3:44 am
dizgrannie

so true Sprite...fireworks is a bonus....I just play to see how I do, if close to finishing I'll list...another thing I enjoy is the chog...xxx
3:45 am
sprite

first time I came across 'crwth' and plural, I thought I'd go bananas. Even after they clued it to me. Took me ages to get because I insisted on vowels. Had to learn that w can be a vowel... in some languages, grin.
3:45 am
Christine

No, I guess she's with the g'kids. I'll try again, after the weekend. Goodnight, God bless
3:45 am
rubyfoo

the chog is supportive, informative and fun.
3:45 am
rubyfoo

and truly cross-cultural
3:46 am
dizgrannie

oh and another is when g/dtr is here, she helps a lot. Her ypung bro is starting to help as well and he is only 7 1/2
3:46 am
sprite

I learned at least as much from the chat as from the grids.
3:46 am
sprite

so delightful, diz :D
3:46 am
dizgrannie

ypung = young...sorry
3:47 am
sprite

I submit 'undiet'. I am a fervent fan of it.
3:47 am
sprite

ypung bro sounds almost as a chinese or korean name. I like it.
3:47 am
rubyfoo

me too, it's called eating on demand or per carvings!
3:47 am
sprite

:D
3:47 am
rubyfoo

cravings* hahah
3:48 am
dizgrannie

and another, for my g/kids, they look up all the flags in the Atlas to see where you all are
3:48 am
rubyfoo

taking a break to warm up; the studio is very chilly this AM
3:48 am
sprite

carve out me cravings and shiver me timbers! Rrrrrr!
3:48 am
sprite

that is great too, diz, I bet they don't forget that way!

Let's go for it.
4:00 am
Christine

Trifioso - how was Thursday?
4:01 am
Trifioso

oh, thanks for remembering Christine, you dear thing! Thursday was unbelievably sad, which really surprised me. I thought I was over the mourning part, but I guess not. I was very indulgent on Friday - got the kids to school and then wallowed under the covers until noon.
4:02 am
sprite

The hammer went down, Trif?
4:02 am
Trifioso

Breaking the contract of our marriage was work enough. it's the breaking of the covenant that really makes me sad. I will never have a 25th anniversary party. someday my folks will die, and I will sit on the bench alone. when I am old, my kids will have to hire someone to take care of me....
4:02 am
Trifioso

but now I am done. I shall go on from here to paint a new sky.
4:03 am

Christine

For what it's wort, Hun, you'll always have us.
4:04 am
Trifioso

it's worth a lot, christine. you all here have been more supportive than a lot of my friends out of the ether
4:04 am
sprite

yep. My friends and I have made a pact to get together when old and live together and help eachother... you are always welcome to join us. Seriously.
4:05 am
Trifioso

thank you sprite. what a charming picture! a bunch of old ones, sitting around....your friends all going "who's that american? does anyone remember an american?" lolololol
4:05 am
sprite

and I think you will be able soon to let life surprise you... mourn first, then paint that sky and know you are an incredibly lovable woman.
4:05 am

My daughter and her friend pledged to live together in a pink trailer (Lucille Ball movie?) and learn to play canasta.

4:08 am

though I really wish you good night's rests... but it is wonderful to see you.
4:09 am
Trifioso

okay, this may be one of those late night kind of thoughts, but, has anyone else noticed that, when you are trying to enter a wo4, and you think it's not going to work, it's like your fingers don't even want to type it? As if my muscles already know the combination of letters won't work...
4:09 am
sprite

so, about Christine... what do you think, guys? A sweet babbler, a wicked sense of humour and an experienced looter of PB cupboards, don't you agree?
4:09 am

do not forget to join me and many other babblers in our folding at home group.become an active participant in the hunt for cancer cures! our babble team number is 173981 just Google folding at home from Stanford U for the download client

the best way i can describe folding at home is the professors at stanford U have created a way to harness our spare and unused computer bandwidth cycles and put them all together to work as a single unit to "fold" human proteins and try and map the changes in cancerous and non cancerous "folds" in this way we can better understand it and eventually alter it before cancer evolves.the web site at folding at home will explain it better than i can:)
4:26 am
sprite

I really don't understand the folding at home. Do I have to keep my computer running day and night for that?
4:26 am
Trifioso

thanks for posting that crossy. I have no clue what it means, but I will check out the si4
4:26 am

Trifioso

4:34 am
crosshair

and i would not even suggest it in here if it were not safe;)
4:34 am
Trifioso

My mom is an avid knitter, so we usually choose women who are working with textiles (seamstresses, knitters, etc) for our recipients
4:34 am
sprite

maybe if you would add this info to your profile (about the how to join and the URL, more babblers would do it?
You got me, btw, am going to join.
4:35 am
Trifioso

I am joining too. we have an extra computer downstairs that sits idle...MUCH better to have it happily folding all day
4:35 am
crosshair

it is all in my profile,but i shall add the url as well
4:35 am
crosshair

yes trif! a idle computer is perfect for this
4:36 am
SaraY

An organisation that funds, at $25 per donation, a person or organisation trying to better their lives. Usually in a 3rd world country. Better to check Kiva online than for me to go on in detail. I started with a $25 Christmas present from my elder daughter Jessica. Jessica now has over 100 accounts purely by way of redistributing repayments to previous loans.
4:36 am
Trifioso

hang on -- stop the presses. was just looking in your profile, and saw photo of a little girl...since when do you have a daughter too? I only knew about the teenage boy at home...!
4:36 am
dizgrannie

4:37 am
dizgrannie

thanx for that Sara...xxx
4:37 am
SaraY

Trifioso, fantastic, help me spread the Kiva word!!
4:38 am

4:40 am
Trifioso

oh, okay! I was totally confuzzled myself there for a minute!
4:41 am
Christine

I'm definitely computer-illiterate (heck, I'm still trying to work-out retractab;e ballpoint pens) so how do we find a cure for cancer, when our computer is 'tuned' to babble?
4:42 am
Trifioso

sprite, btw, have you read the 19th wife?
4:42 am
crosshair

yes diz,what you are doing is donating bandwidth that gets collected and used with all the other idle bandwidth from other donators and the actual folding is done at stanford,but you get to see the action on your rig,and if by some lucky chance our team unlocks a key protien,we can actually get it named after us;0
4:43 am
Trifioso

"and the nobel prize in science this year goes to....Babble!"
4:43 am

and my fellow scentists i am proud to show you the "babble key protein!!"

4:45 am
crosshair

once you have downloaded it,just open it and it will guide you through the set up where you input your babble name and team number
4:46 am
crosshair

once that is done the folding icon will appear in the botton right of yer task bar
4:46 am
Christine

Crosshair, I will also need you to walk me through this. I'm going to start it now. Back soon.
4:46 am
crosshair

i also pin it to my start menu,so i do not have to hunt for it each time i turn on my puter
4:47 am
Trifioso

heres something fun -- I took my mom to see tertiares game last night (she is a cheerleader). it was FREEZING, so we only stayed for three quarters, and then headed home. as we approached the parking lot, we saw a truck with the lights on -- and the lights were flashing. we approached the truck and discovered the source: in the drivers seat was a HUGE boxer dog, wearing a ladies' pink winter jackets (complete with fur lined hood) pushing all the buttons on the dash with her paws. We about peed our pants laughing!
4:47 am
crosshair

and everyone,unless you have a computer that is over 2 gig or less that 2 years old,do not use the display option unless you have nothing else running
4:48 am
crosshair

you just right click the icon and go to status to check up on team or individual totals and that is it!
4:48 am
crosshair

lol trif! that is funny!
4:49 am

lol Trif, priceless!
4:49 am

I taught my kids to read before school, and kept them at it. Read english with them before they got it at school too. Cannot leave that to schools, nowadays. Reading should be fun, an adventure, a door to other worlds.

crossy, do you have to check on the folding program now and then? what I mean is, if I set it up on an idle pc and leave it running, how often would I need to check it to see if it's finished, or does that happen?
5:26 am
SaraY

It is a mystery to me how you all divide time between doing the grid and keeping in touch with each other - I feel I am failing at both! Maybe friendships are so 'set in stone' that they take precedence over filling in the word gaps.
5:28 am
Trifioso

saray, what i find is that entries in the grid come to me in spurts. I will find several wo4s, and then nothing for a bit. chogging freshens my eyes for looking back at the grid

triff,it will run unattended as long as you wish it to

5:28 am

Looking over what I wrote I am worried it may be taken the wrong way - friendships, and keeping in touch, must take precedence.

Crosshair, must the computer be in use to generate whatever the folding uses?

that is what i do also,chat up the ladies a bit,till my eyes can pick out more words in the grid;)

Gout is very painfiul, according to a friend. I am sure there are manyxxx skeletons in any closet associated with Oz. Hence a wonderful human experience surpassed by anywhere in the world (spoken by a true Ozzie!). Please excuse any questionable exuberance associated with a bout of sad news and too much wine!

ice always. you can alternate with heat, but ice really will help. do you have a bag of frozen peas? that is a good way to do it
8:48 am
Dorens

also ibuprofen, advil, unless you have a sensitivity to it. anti inflammatory
8:49 am

Yes, I do..thanks. I took two Aleves when I woke up. could barely get out of bed. first I had the cold of the century and now this..I feel like a complainer.

10:22 am

10:26 am
Haz1558

She's sitting in the PB, in utter disgrace.
10:26 am
Scrabbler

Yep--was paged, called a mother, then my mother called, and my nephew is texting me
10:27 am
donnab3012

down to the last 10 words and struggling!
10:27 am
Scrabbler

No disgrace being experienced here. I feel charitable.

10:27 am
Anniebrook

Scrabbs, I fell yesterday and I think I bruised my tailbone...hurts like he**..how often can I take Aleve?
10:27 am
Haz1558

Poor Annie - hopefully Scrabbler will be able to give you some good advice. (Bear in mind that she thinks she's engaged to George Clooney so don't take everything she says as gospel)
10:28 am
Erda

would you charitably (or otherwise) clue the en6,18 please?
10:28 am
Anniebrook

Hi, Hazel.. I will allow Scrabbs to live with her illusion.
10:29 am
Haz1558

en6/18 - en plus a small part of land in the sea.
10:29 am
Anniebrook

Scrabbs is busy today...her nephew is suffering with a migraine..I am annoying her with my coccyx. What next?
10:29 am
Haz1558

There - I saved Scrabbler from herself.
10:29 am
Erda

but of course!!! Thank you!
10:30 am
Haz1558

You're welcome, Erda.
10:30 am
Scrabbler

Annie--ice it, sit on a cushion, aleve = 440 mg every 8 hrs
10:31 am
Anniebrook

Thank you so much, dear Scrabbs. ( I am humoring Haz..let her think that GC is hers alone)

10:32 am
Scrabbler

george is busy with darfur
10:32 am
Haz1558

You're very diplomatic with Scrabbler, Annie. Letting her think that you believe her. You should give lessons.
10:34 am
Anniebrook

The stress was too much for poor George..He escaped to Darfur. He will do some good for that poor country.
10:34 am
rururocks

Thank god he isn't a Doctor on TV anymore and Haz can stop checking herself into every ER Room in America
10:34 am
rururocks

...looking for him...
10:34 am
Anniebrook

Every ER in the US had her picture up on the wall as a warning.
10:35 am
Scrabbler

George is sleeping in a grass + stick hut.
10:35 am
rururocks

If I wanted to Escape something Darfur sure wouldn't be one of my first choices
10:35 am

10:35 am
Scrabbler

Hi new entrants!
10:35 am
Haz1558

I still don't understand why you wouldn't lend me your nun's costume, Annie. I think it would have helped.

Haz, My nun's costume is at the ready when I have to hover over Luc again. Wonder what he is up to?
10:37 am
rururocks

I am sure George has a nun outfit somewhere
10:38 am
Haz1558

Good question, Annie. Did any of the miners in Chile have a fedora with them?
10:38 am
Anniebrook

for the moment I could not think of Luc's babble name? Montreal it is
10:39 am
Anniebrook

I dont know about the fedoras but they had mistresses waiting for them as they emerged into the upper wo5 again.
10:39 am
Anniebrook

Montreal was not among them
10:39 am
Scrabbler

Annie--you will be sore for a long time. Nothing is done if broken, unless pain is persistent.
10:40 am
Haz1558

I know he still babbles, just haven't been around lately for the occasional (very occasional) times when he emerges to chat briefly. He was fun.
10:40 am
Anniebrook

Scrabbs, how long is long? I hope this is not a stupid question.
10:41 am
Scrabbler

A few wks or several, but next few days will be the worst
10:42 am
Anniebrook

Scrabbs, thanks so much. I was afraid it was broken.
10:42 am
Scrabbler

Not stupid question. I usually give worst case prognosis so that when a person is better sooner they are pleased.
10:42 am
Anniebrook

Smart, you are.
10:43 am
Scrabbler

I was thinking of Babbler Montreal last wk. I am reading a mystery series set in Montreal. The Louise Penny books.

I am not finding this grid too easy. 95 to go.

Scrabbler

Bottom right corner E help, please?
10:50 am
FMitch

back again, after long phone call with Mother. I have hit the wall with 45 to go.
10:50 am
Nancy Boy

I'm finding it better than the grids we had over the past two days...found those quite soul-crushing ;)
10:50 am
jan

The first half went down easy, the second half, not so much...
10:50 am
Scrabbler

My mother has called twice so far and it is not quite noon.
10:50 am
Haz1558

ef7 and ef8, Scrabbler.
10:51 am
FMitch

oh dear Scrabs!
10:51 am
Cherrypop

Aint love grand?
10:51 am
Haz1558

e plus a double helping of a consonant - add not the beginning and finish off with a vowel. Plural for the ef8.
10:51 am
Scrabbler

NB, my sister says hello. She has 3 sons and middle one is also 20. She wants to be another Mom for you.
10:51 am
jan

Scrabbler, the long ones off the bottom e's are Turkish honorific and its plural. Though the plural is wrong--it ends in an s and it should end in ler, in Turkish.
10:52 am
Scrabbler

Very ODD word!
10:52 am
Scrabbler

TY for definition + Turkish lesson, Jan. I have never seen that word before.
10:52 am
Nancy Boy

aww, Scrabbs! nice of her, please send my greetings back! Just gained another 'mummy' in my cousin Chin-Mae...just got him on yahoo...having great fun teaching him bad english slang.
10:52 am
jan

Those e words are the first Turkish ones I've ever seen in the grids. I always look for sema, the word for the Whirling Dervish fance. Enable doens
10:53 am
jan

Doesn't take it, that is. (My four year old computer has a touchy enter key!)
10:54 am
FMitch

Oh, 2 hot air balloons have just sailed past - what a wonderful sight!
10:55 am
Haz1558

Could you see the people aboard?
10:55 am
jan

Here's a funny one--it takes the singular of dr/5, but I've only ever used it in the plural. I don't even know what a singular one would be!!
10:55 am
FMitch

Just about
10:56 am
FMitch

They were flying quite low
10:57 am
Scrabbler

You are loved, NB.
10:57 am
Scrabbler

So neat, FM. In the summer there is a hot air balloon company that flies over my home out here in the country.
10:57 am
Haz1558

A farmer once told how a hot air balloon landed in his field and his mother got slightly agitated, wondering if she needed to serve them tea.
10:58 am
FMitch

It is a great sight isn't it Scrabs. LOL Haz.
10:58 am
Scrabbler

One balloon was low enough for me to speak with rey Poupon?"
10:58 am
Nancy Boy

thank you :) whoops, being skyped!
10:59 am
Scrabbler

You can hear the balloon approaching, the whoosh of the flames.
10:59 am
FMitch

Love to watch them but you would never get me up in one.
11:00 am
Haz1558

I'm with you, FM, I'd stay on the ground to mind the coats.
11:00 am
Scrabbler

Someone clued a wa7, I think, starting with battle wo4
11:00 am
Scrabbler

That didn't come out below--a man in the balloon asked me, "Do you have any Grey Poupon?"
11:00 am
jan

I always felt the same way, FMitch, being terrified of heights, but I was surprised that it wasn't scary the one time I did it.
11:01 am
FMitch

impressed, jan!
11:01 am
Haz1558

wa7 - begin with plural battle, add last letters of fortified stone buildings (or prickLY Scots plant/emblem)
11:02 am

good morning, babblers - just getting started but spotted one of my favorite babblets here - et4

Bye Scrabbler, I'm off myself and will leave the dr/5 of the puzzle for later.

Well, who knew if you took the e off the pl needlecase you end up with a New Zealand honey eating bird.
11:12 am

I have this nagging sense it means something in Dutch, too bad Sprite isn't about.
11:12 am

I thought everyone knew that.
11:12 am

Just like everyone knows what tenrec means. :-)
11:13 am
FMitch

*giggle*
11:13 am
Haz1558

Ah yes, we talk daily of the New Zealand honey eating bird. We rarely talk of anything else unless it is to wonder about the welfare of the dear tenrec.
11:14 am
Haz1558

These lies just pour out of me. I wonder how I'd do on a polygraph?
11:14 am
FMitch

That conversation must crop up so often in Mr Haz's surgery.
11:15 am
FMitch

Haz you do realise you have to take the walk of shame to the PB yet again?
11:15 am
Haz1558

Indeed. 'Never mind about my cow, have you any remedy for my New Zealand honey eating bird who has gone off honey?'
11:17 am
Haz1558

Anyway, must go to get some groceries for the younger daughter and deposit her back to Belfast.
11:17 am

anti swine... or rather it is anti me...and the result if i ingest pork anything is intensive and accute ( as in cold sweats ) pain and cramping that lasts a good 4-8 hours ( simply frying an egg in bacon fat does this..so i have to be careful with anything even made from lard)

Its a very strange country. We were there when Sharm-El-Sheik was bombed - about 20 minutes away. I volunteered as a blood donor - but they told me that I was a tourist, and not to be worrying about all those dead and dying people. Very strange!

It seems one moment they're babies and the next they're starting school... where does it go?

No, m9. The upholstery was fabric.

Might've been something the fabric was treated with, perhaps. I really don't know. And thank you...

thanks Jell.
10:54 pm
m9f9l

The first time they went through this they had the baby for a few days and then the mom changed her mind. IT was heartbreaking. Then they got their son. But it's still hard to go through the process.
