Good morning Ata! It is a good day to be indoors.

3:27 am

Atalante

3:27 am

FMitch

Am not going anywhere today, so dark and it is pouring down.

3:28 am

Atalante

took pup out earlier, she wasn't particularly impressed so we didn't stay out for long!

3:28 am

FMitch

lol I can believe that.

3:29 am

FMitch

So you are really getting stuck into the job by the soounds of it, happy for you :)

3:29 am

Atalante

though it's obviously not as bad over here ... just drizzle and cold adn wind

3:29 am

Atalante

I *love* it!

3:30 am

FMitch

Great!

3:31 am

Atalante

brb Hobbit is fiddling with her paw, I think she's cut it but I can't see anything...

3:32 am

FMitch

k

3:35 am

Atalante

still can't see anything wrong!

3:37 am

FMitch

How is my dear Sily?

3:37 am

Atalante

gorgeous :D

3:37 am

Atalante

ever more lovey and talkative

3:38 am

FMitch

They must wonder where Mom keeps disappering off to.

3:38 am

Atalante

they don't like it ...

3:38 am

lynxxx

what a pleasant surprise : FM and Ata!!

3:38 am

Atalante

Lyn!!

3:38 am

FMitch

and ditto lynxxx!

3:39 am

Atalante

and stew!

3:39 am

FMitch

of course :)

3:39 am

lynxxx

how are you possum? not the same without your regular input

3:40 am

lynxxx

FM and Haz of course do their valiant best!

3:40 am

Atalante

busy busy busy busy having wonderful amounts of fun doing marine stuff!

3:40 am

Did I hear my name?

3:41 am

3:41 am

lynxxx

Good morning Haz

3:41 am

Haz1558

Good morning!

3:41 am

Atalante

Haz! La Spanglettinellarina!

3:41 am

FMitch

Yay Hello Haz!

3:42 am

Atalante

just about ...

3:42 am

Haz1558

Nous voila! Spanglettinereinellabelindarina is guarding the top of the stairs.

3:43 am

lynxxx

lol...sounds like it is not happening

3:43 am

Atalante

very important job

3:43 am

Atalante

Hobbit barked at a 30 mph sign earlier, alerting me to danger

3:43 am

lynxxx

the top of bthe stairs? I thought she wasn't allowed upstairs

3:43 am

Haz1558

She's pretending to be asleep but she's alert underneath the pretence.

3:44 am

Haz1558

She's not strictly allowed upstairs in that she's not actively encouraged to be upstairs. But when the top of the stairs need to be guarded, you have to give leeway.

3:45 am

Haz1558

She still does the stealth climb, remembering that it's a tiny bit out of bounds.

3:45 am

Atalante

awwwwwwww

3:45 am

Haz1558

If she doesn't catch your eye, she thinks she's invisible.

3:45 am

lynxxx

fair enough too - of course if 'the vet' comes home I bet she is canny enough to get downstairs quick smart

3:45 am

Atalante

of course! I can't see you, so you can't see me

3:46 am

Haz1558

She practically launches herself when she sees him coming. She's confused between her desire to greet and her need to disguise where she's been.

3:46 am

Haz1558

The greeting instinct wins out.

3:48 am

Atalante

always!

3:53 am

Atalante

I rescued a tiny wee baby dogfish yesterday :)

3:53 am

Atalante

3:53 am

herinfernallady

DId you see the pic of the Octopus with glowy tenticals?

3:54 am

Atalante

That little fish is so cute

3:55 am

Atalante

he was trying to nip my finger, but he was so young that his teeth weren't formed yet

3:55 am

FMitch

Excellent phantom lynxxx!

3:56 am

lynxxx

very cute Ata - how big do dogfish get?

3:57 am

Atalante

3 foot-ish

3:57 am

Atalante

little sharks!

3:57 am

lynxxx

wow, must google

3:57 am

herinfernallady

I have a great idea. Twilight needs to be rewritten as an epic horror/zombie flick

3:59 am

Atalante

I have a great idea. Twilight needs to be burned

3:59 am

mummy

Heard cats fighting in the early morning, our cat came in and I noticed he had a bloody patch on his leg, so he was one of the fighters. LEg didn't look too bad and he was licking it to clean it up. That night we let him sleep in the house, instead of the utility where his bed is and he can go out the cat flap if he wants. So, he slept on the sofa. Next morning hubby came downstairs and found that the cat had used the kitchen sink as his toilet! there were scratch marks all round the bowl where he had tried to cover it up!

4:00 am

herinfernallady

Mummy Kitty needs to stay inside at the night

4:00 am

lynxxx

he is a good cat for trying though

4:02 am

mummy

It was much easier to clean up than if he'd done it on the carpet. Yes, he is a good boy.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Cat owners are very forgiving.

4:03 am

herinfernallady

Ata. Yes but how funny would Twilight be as a horror zombie flick?

4:03 am

Haz1558

bi5/14 - the teacher's instruction to the child chewing gum.

4:03 am

lynxxx

clever

4:04 am

Haz1558

I was surprised when it was accepted - I tried it as a joke.

4:04 am

FMitch

Phone ... brb

4:06 am

Haz1558

This grid makes you try all sorts of unlikely words. Woond, the hurt caused when a love affair goes wrong.

4:06 am

Kallia

darnation is surely a word!

4:06 am

lynxxx

what a dill I am - I didn't even try it - just worked out what it was - thought you were making it up. I have been playing Babble too long

4:06 am

Kallia

morning all

4:06 am

lynxxx

hi Kallia

4:06 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Kallia.

4:07 am

Haz1558

No dictionary definition given of course, so I think mine is as good as any for that bi5.

4:07 am

lynxxx

I think it should be accepted Kallia

4:07 am

Kallia

me too lol

4:09 am

lynxxx

BBS got a greyhound levitating in the loungeroom

4:10 am

Haz1558

You could charge admission fees to see that.

4:10 am

Atalante

absolutely!

4:10 am

Flask1

Is it my imagination or is this a nippy wee grid today?

4:11 am

Kallia

morning flask

4:11 am

Haz1558

It's not your imagination, Flask.

4:11 am

Haz1558

I've not got up any speed at all finding words, very few sequences etc.

4:11 am

Kallia

oh good, thought it was me losing it lol

4:12 am

Flask1

Hi Kalia...

4:12 am

Flask1

I know....there's just no connections at all!!

4:12 am

Haz1558

No, I think the pattern is for us all to think separately that it's not nice, then someone mentions it and we all breathe with relief that we're not the only ones having problems.

4:12 am

Flask1

wind

4:13 am

Haz1558

Do you suffer with it, Flask?

4:13 am

Kallia

I think you are right Haz

4:13 am

Flask1

lol.....pardon me...lol

4:14 am

Haz1558

It was just funny the way you said it, Flask. (I nearly said the way it came out, but that wouldn't have sounded right!)

4:14 am

Kallia

funny though Haz hehe

4:14 am

Flask1

eh..no!

4:15 am

Flask1

ok....I give in.....are there any clues for any of the 8's please?

4:16 am

Haz1558

I don't have any yet, Flask.

4:16 am

Flask1

oh good.....now I don't feel so bad!

4:16 am

Kallia

me neither

4:16 am

Flask1

Sorry Haz!....lolol

4:17 am

Atalante

4:17 am

Haz1558

I think so, Ata.

4:30 am

Atalante

Do you think macadam is the only person to have never ever changed their (Wonderful) icon?

4:31 am

macadam

I had a wassail bowl for Christmas 2 years ago.

4:32 am

Haz1558

Darnation, you're wrong, Ata.

4:32 am

Atalante

oh drat! well I never saw it so it doesn't count :D

4:32 am

Haz1558

You've not noticed that dr** is there either.

4:33 am

Haz1558

I don't think Anniebrook has ever changed her icon.

4:33 am

Atalante

not doing the grid!

4:33 am

Haz1558

Not doing the grid? Another fairweather babbler.

4:35 am

Atalante

4:35 am

Haz1558

Darnation, I thought we'd get a good run of words.

4:36 am

I just get mixed up when I chat.....or worst still...get into trouble!!!...lol

back

4:37 am

Haz1558

Hello again, lynxxx.

4:37 am

Atalante

hi lyn

4:37 am

Haz1558

lynxxx is saintly, she never gets in trouble. I want to be like lynxxx when I grow up.

4:37 am

Atalante

she even has a levitating dog

4:38 am

mummy

hi lynxx, how' Melb today, are you still having lots of rain?

4:38 am

Haz1558

The levitating dog must be proof of saintliness, I agree.

4:38 am

zoozzoom

wo8 timber + a short, informal letter (compound word)

4:38 am

Haz1558

Bless you, my child, zoozzoom.

4:38 am

Atalante

absolutely. it's a sign

4:38 am

lynxxx

hi Mummy, a drizzly weekend in store, but nothing flooding!

4:38 am

Haz1558

(That's the way saintly lynxxx would talk, I'm sure)

4:39 am

Flask1

Hi zooz...and thanx!!

4:39 am

lynxxx

do8 is giving generously

4:40 am

lynxxx

hiya Zooz

4:40 am

lynxxx

and TY too

4:40 am

Atalante

maybe really it's Stew who is a saint, and Lynxxx just has reflected glory

4:40 am

Haz1558

Woondrot - when the lover's hurt feelings turn bitter.

4:41 am

mummy

Not flooding is good, drizzly weekend not so good. I guess the dams are fuller now and you are able to water the garden and wash your cars now.

4:41 am

zoozzoom

Hello, All..i have a ruddy great big cold sore ready to pop...not happy :-(

4:41 am

Haz1558

You're probably right, Ata. If she were the saint, she'd be the one to levitate.

4:41 am

Atalante

yes. can you levitate Lynxxx?

4:41 am

lynxxx

hand water the garden freely - but no washing cars as yet

4:41 am

Haz1558

And if so, how high?

4:41 am

lynxxx

eeww Zooz

4:42 am

Atalante

and ca we have photographic evidence to submit to the Vatican

4:42 am

Haz1558

Video would be best.

4:42 am

lynxxx

mmm levitatly - that would be handy at the moment. Just a problem with heights though

4:42 am

macadam

nitro

4:42 am

lynxxx

sorry levitating that is

4:42 am

Atalante

see, she can't. It must be STew

4:43 am

Haz1558

But maybe her fear of heights is hampering the levitation.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Don`t forget the other ending, macadam..lol

4:43 am

Atalante

maybe it's her last test before sainthood. conquering the fear

4:43 am

Haz1558

Do you have any other special powers, lynxxx?

4:44 am

macadam

I`d better stop.Up most of the night coughing and sniffing,eyeballs and brain now malfunctioning.Bye all.

4:44 am

Haz1558

Bye, macadam, but you'd be welcome to stay.

4:44 am

macadam

I may be back later.

4:45 am

Flask1

bye macadam

4:45 am

Haz1558

Hope you feel better - colds are rotten.

4:46 am

lynxxx

Our recent downpour has made it painfully clear that all the roof tiles on our 90 year old house need to be lifted and cleaned ofp lane tree debris (now compost!) lodged in under them! or perhaps even a new roof !!!!$$$$$$!!!!!! (it's been a bad day $wise)

4:46 am

lynxxx

Bye MacAdam - chicken soup!

4:47 am

Haz1558

Oh, poor lynxxx. Even being able to levitate wouldn't make up for having to spend that money. And a new roof isn't glamorous, is it?

4:47 am

Atalante

it could be if she got sparkly tiles

4:48 am

lynxxx

No, but if I could leviatate I could clean them myself and save mucho dollaro

4:48 am

Haz1558

Oh, I never thought of that. Can you get sparkly roof tiles?

4:48 am

mummy

That sounds very expensive lynxxx, I expect it is one of those things that you will need to see to before the winter sets in, (as if your 'summer' wasn't bad enough)

4:49 am

scouser

Morning all. any clues for the ho5/14 s and the on6/24 ?

4:49 am

Haz1558

And if you can't, it's time someone started making them.

4:49 am

Atalante

I think you should be able to!

4:49 am

lynxxx

You are right Mummy, but got another 3 months before Winter arrives in earnest

4:49 am

Haz1558

ho5/14 - either to put away in quantities or ho5/14 - Japanese car

4:52 am

ty We went to see the Saxon ho5/14 - bit disappointing after queuing for over 3 hours: it certainly was not all there you could tell.

4:52 am

Flask1

well done scouser

4:52 am

FMitch

Was looking at gold lynxx as an investment

4:53 am

Atalante

some bits of it are too fragile to display still, and some bits of are in other museums to show off the main thing

4:53 am

lynxxx

Midas Mitch - has a nice ring

4:53 am

Atalante

you'll get yourself a reputtaion, FM

4:54 am

FMitch

LOL! Bank rates are rubbish at the mo so just doinging some £ comparisons

4:54 am

Haz1558

I must take a quick break... Back eventually (pronounced in best Manuel voice) e-vent-u-all-y.

4:54 am

Haz1558

Goldfinger F. The woman with the Midas touch.

4:54 am

FMitch

a reputtaion Ata? is that better than a reputation?

4:54 am

Haz1558

We'll have to start channelling our inner Shirley Bassey when FM appears.

4:54 am

Atalante

LMAO

4:55 am

Atalante

much better!!

4:55 am

Haz1558

A reputtaion is something that golfers do.

4:55 am

Atalante

I was trying to think of something involving putti

4:56 am

scouser

In my head I often say vegetable with the stress on the 2nd e not the first as if it is vejett-able. Similarly with association : assoss -iation. Nuts.

4:56 am

Haz1558

Tiger Wood's reputation would have remained intact if he'd stuck to reputtations.

4:56 am

Atalante

my grandmother always said TRAF-algar

4:56 am

Haz1558

Okay, off I go!

4:56 am

FMitch

Glazier use putti, oh no that is putty isn't it.

4:57 am

scouser

plasterers might use putti though

4:57 am

FMitch

Toodles Haz.

4:58 am

scouser

TRAF-al-gar is the local pronunciation today of that place-name. Typically English to make it Tru-FAL-gar.

4:59 am

scouser

Bye all

4:59 am

FMitch

Just out of interest lynxx what sort of % return do you guys get i nAus say for investing £5k for a year - here the best rate I can find is 2.05%

5:00 am

lynxxx

let me check

5:02 am

lynxxx

6.00 - 6.55%

5:02 am

FMitch

Flipping heck!!!

5:03 am

lynxxx

We are doing well #wise

5:03 am

lynxxx

$wise

5:03 am

FMitch

Hence my foray into other markets.

5:04 am

FMitch

wow if I could get 6% I would do cartwheels (not that I can actually do cartwheels) :)

5:06 am

FMitch

Time for me to be off for a while. Happy Babbling.

5:06 am

lynxxx

I wonder if you can deposit into Australian Banks through the branches they have in London ?? not sure how or even if you can do that

5:07 am

FMitch

LOL was alreadying thinking that!

5:07 am

Atalante

you can't, I don't think

5:07 am

Atalante

unless you have an account opened in Aus

5:08 am

Atalante

I used to have a Westpac account, but that was opened in Aus while I was over there with uni stuff

5:08 am

lynxxx

It worthwhile making an enquiry though

5:08 am

Atalante

definitely

5:17 am

lynxxx

BBL need to eat

5:32 am

Haz1558

Even saints need sustenance, it seems.

5:33 am

Atalante

or saint's owners

5:33 am

Haz1558

Indeed.

5:34 am

Atalante

is Spangle still guarding the stairs?

5:34 am

Haz1558

No, she's gone to her bed in the kitchen.

5:35 am

Atalante

awwww

5:36 am

Haz1558

She's in silent sleep mode at the minute.

5:36 am

Atalante

stealth mode

5:36 am

Haz1558

Yes, ready to spring into action, although now that she's rather deaf, it takes a bit more to get her stirred.

5:37 am

Atalante

the wavelength of a 50lb dog is 10 to the power -35 metres

5:37 am

Haz1558

You can do the sums on that one!

5:38 am

Atalante

am reading a book describing quantum physics in terms of dog behaviour!

5:38 am

Haz1558

Goodness!

5:39 am

Atalante

it's absolutely wonderufl

5:39 am

Haz1558

You remember the Tim Flach photos I showed you? The dogs? I bought younger daughter a copy of the book and they are absolutely wonderful pictures.

5:39 am

Atalante

how wonderful!!

5:39 am

FMitch

Hi you two, nice to see yo both still here. Got sidetracked with a phone call from Mum at great length.

5:39 am

Atalante

I bought a book for best friend about knitting dogs!

5:40 am

Haz1558

Hello again, Goldfinger.

5:40 am

Haz1558

Knitting dogs? Are they even more special than levitating dogs?

5:40 am

FMitch

Ha ha.

5:40 am

Haz1558

I wonder if there are any knitters among the levitating dogs? THAT would be worth paying money to see.

5:41 am

Atalante

look it up, it's fab! Best in Show by Sally Muir

5:41 am

FMitch

I would love to se a dog crochet - much more skill needed.

5:43 am

Haz1558

It looks great, Ata. I looked it up on Amazon, must see if I can see more pictures from it.

5:44 am

Atalante

it's just wonderful! So much fun to do as well, I'm sure

5:44 am

Haz1558

Tut tut, the blurb has Dalmatian spelled incorrectly.

5:44 am

Haz1558

Have they no proofreaders any more? Why does the phone have to ring now?

5:45 am

FMitch

So many questions and so few answers :(

5:47 am

Something rotten in the state of Denmark, Molly?

Well, I typed something, hit enter and it never materialized. Spooky.

hi Molly, you will soon get the red message of doom

7:08 am

hmmm...possibly snatched by the ghost of Hamlet's father. Or possibly a hiccup in your connection...anyone's guess ;)

7:09 am

Good morning everyone!

7:09 am

Anniebrook

It will say "word couldnt be added.please try again"

7:09 am

Well, it seems to be working okay now. And I can type words in the other box. All I said was "Welcome To Vowel Friday!"

Hello Scrabbler, good morning

Hi Scrabbs, how cold is it up there?

TY, Mom!! Blueberry muffins are yummy!

7:11 am

7:11 am

Why is heaven so damn fattening?

7:11 am

Anniebrook

hi cyrsta, not there yet, just started

7:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

Really, there must be all these fat angels.

7:12 am

Scrabbler

Not bad--warming up to 26 today, 28 tomorrow, 35 Sunday. I do not want the snow to melt as the XC-skiing season has been outstanding!

7:12 am

MollyL

I don't know Kap, but you never hear anyone referring to something as a "little slice of Hell" do you?

7:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

How do obese angels fly anyway?

7:12 am

Anniebrook

Earth angel, and a well-fed one eternally trying to lose the excess
adipose insulation.

Fat angels and skinny sinners. Hm.

Skinny and miserable or fat and happy. Guess which one I'm choosing?

Kaplan the Magne

I can't get nbt because of the bottom i and the far right o.

7:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

Skinny and miserable of course! It works for Hollywood, doesn't it?

7:16 am

MollyL

The far right o is o + contribute to a charitable cause.

SeaSpray

I always looked forward to NB's chats

8:47 am

EvaNadine

herin -- those are the ones i wore for the wedding. they werent the PERFECT ones, but i still love them. :)

i changed my icon, so as not to be so jarring when i came into the chog. dont want to upset anyone if they see his image.

8:47 am

jmcnrick

:-) good idea snuffy

8:48 am

herinfernallady

O Eva.

8:48 am

welki

egads, i sure misread aloy's post! cosmic humor .. i read it as if jmc should just get another babbler to replace NB!

8:48 am

Anniebrook

I must get on with my day, bye dear babblers

8:48 am

herinfernallady

Loves Annie

8:48 am

cross-conversations in the chog

8:49 am

herinfernallady

Hi Aloy. I am watching Cops. I can't actually believe people talk that way

herinfernallady

YEs I do

8:53 am

EvaNadine

i love adding a pop of color with my shoes. it lets me be a little more lazy with my outfit choices. :)

sadly, i havent been able to wear those shoes much since the wedding, as my ankle has been very sore and it is very difficult to wear heels these days. sticking to my few pairs of work-friend flats these days...

8:53 am

Haz1558

I have done already, Flask, I sent it this morning. Call me psychic but I had a wee notion you might need it.

9:08 am

EvaNadine

yeah, started after the honeymoon

9:08 am

MollyL

Oh that's right. We were making bawdy jokes about how you might have injured it. : P

9:08 am

EvaNadine

9:09 am

9:10 am

EvaNadine

9:20 am

JBV

been up for a while, fed the squirrels (I know I'm crazy, but they were skidding around on the ice and I felt sorry for them)...

9:20 am

NonoNanette

good Lord, Herin, it's late for you!

9:20 am

Nef

herin; that's lste for someone starting a new job, isn't it?

9:20 am

herinfernallady

Watching late night TV. Kind of Day time for me in summer or off hours

9:21 am

Nef

(late)

9:21 am

JBV

wrote a letter of recommendation for someone I used to supervise, answered an invitation, trying to keep up with the news from Egypt

9:21 am

JBV

I watch MSNBC- do you guys know Richard Engel?

9:21 am

JBV

I think he's the only U.S. journalist there who actually speaks Arabic - I find him so compelling

9:22 am

herinfernallady

Interesting JBV

9:22 am

Nef

LOL! I'm just trying to act enthusiastic so I can go to 2 meetings for work --on my day off. :-i

9:23 am

herinfernallady

Nef I also had a nap today with the Lucius kitty

9:23 am

Aloyisius

.. back, hi to all the joiners.. yes, JBV.. I share your feelings about Engel

9:23 am

JBV

he has a great career ahead of him - I just hope they're safe there

9:24 am

Aloyisius

me too

9:24 am

Nef

I listen to MPR, JBV. They have several reporters who speak and read both languages. A womand translated Mobareks speak yesterday as he was giving it.

9:24 am

MollyL

Hi JBV. It's very interesting what's going on in Egypt. I haven't watched too much news coverage though.

9:24 am

JBV

ugh! that speech will go down in history - "speaking as a father to my sons and daughters -" exactly what they did not want to hear

9:25 am

Nef

(Okay, time for coffee since that wasn't in my usual English-speak!)

9:25 am

Nef

very true, JBV!

9:26 am

herinfernallady

I am curled up again with a Pandora

9:26 am

JBV

he is truly clueless - time to retire, I just hope it can remain peaceful

9:27 am

Nef

you sound comfy, herin

9:27 am

JBV

to language lovers here (all of you probably) - something interesting came up in my Italian-English Forum about how to translate "the King's Speech"

9:27 am

herinfernallady

I am . Pandora doesn't snuggle

9:27 am

JBV

of course in English, it's ambiguous - the speech (actual delivery of a prepared discourse) and his speech defect...

9:28 am

JBV

but it turns out in Italian they do not have one word with this double meaning, so they had to translate the title choosing only one - they chose "discorso" which I guess is fine

9:29 am

Erda

Il discorso del re?

9:29 am

jmcnrick

brb must go get the report i am giving

9:29 am

JBV

yes, erda - it was either that or "parola" which was too restrictive

9:30 am

Erda

Interesting problem!! It probably occurred in several languages!

9:31 am

herinfernallady

HI Era

9:31 am

JBV

erda do you speak Italian? do you know about the WordReference.com forums?

9:31 am

Nef

it is interesting how translating a phrase can change things

9:31 am

bichon

Hi herin

9:32 am

Nef

AND it's tiem for me to get my act together and DO something. BBL! Happy Babbling Everybody!

9:32 am

Yes, JBV, I speak Italian and no, I don't know about the WordReference forums/fora...

Aloyisius

you are so polite to reply to everyone's greetings, frog.. afraid I don't do that, focussed on the grid.. probably violate the chog etiquette, me bad

9:39 am

frogface

im just a talktative person lol

9:40 am

Aloyisius

how long have you been Babbling?

9:40 am

frogface

oh about a year but only recently started talking to people - i'm shy til i cum out of my shell

9:40 am

Aloyisius

lol, bloom and grow!

9:40 am

frogface

yes, like edelweiss lol

9:41 am

dianedecoder

LOL

9:41 am

Aloyisius

know what you mean.. I babbled quite a while before venturing into the chat log

9:42 am

dianedecoder

see.... I often read the chat, chirp in once in a while, but avoid the conversations that get "testy"

9:42 am

frogface

and haven't there been some testy conversations the lat few days lol

9:42 am

Aloyisius

and I see in the
ratings list that there are a LOT of steady babblers who never chat

9:43 am

bichon

I find most ,almost all fellow chogger very kind and considerate

9:43 am

frogface

lat? lol

9:43 am

frogface

well, in my opinion its all supposed to be good clean fun. for goodness sakes its only a chog when all said and done! Peace and love all round!!!

9:43 am

bichon

chogging does take away from word finding time

9:44 am

Aloyisius

enjoy the conviviality , not the triviality of nit pickers

9:45 am

dianedecoder

It's fun to see personalities emerge ... IF one can "read "them correctly. As in the real world, some are "sunshine"... others are not ;-)

9:46 am

Aloyisius

yes, bichon.. so.. I don't open chat until I go through the grid and hit the self-imposed 3/4 mark which "allows" me to use the list.. otherwise, I don't think I would finish the big grids, for sure

9:46 am

bichon

I have seen amazing amounts of care towards others. The young man, Nancy Boy, who recently passed engendered an outpouring of love. And someone on the chog was expressing suicidal thoughts and someone from the states here tracked him down and alerted the police.

9:46 am

frogface

yes - there are feathers in this world and there are bricks. i prefer to talk to the feathers

9:46 am

dianedecoder

I just started babbling the end of September.... a certain person jumped on me for some triviality, have kept my distance from them since, and I see that my first instinct was not worng.

9:47 am

frogface

wouldnt be someone started with j would it?

9:47 am

herinfernallady

Jumps on Diane for a hug tackle

9:47 am

Aloyisius

ooh, diane.. sorry that happened, and welcome to Babble

9:47 am

dianedecoder

I agree, bichon.... that caring prevails in here... FAR outweighs the opposite!

9:47 am

bichon

there are very few like that here

9:47 am

Hi River

Diane, I got reprimanded for my cluing recently. Sorry, but no one who plays this game gets to tell other people how to play it.

9:48 am

Riverdance

ah yes there had been some intense moments in the chog but for the most part it is quite fun and I so enjoy most folks here - very supportive in fact when my son had his health issues last year - I personally needed that

9:48 am

bichon

Hi River the Northerner [at least for me]

9:49 am

Riverdance

it was -7 this morning in the north...brrrrr

9:51 am

I think there is an amazing amount of support, care and concern in this community. And that outweighs the occasional barbed remarks.

There's a web site which gives paired dogs names.

9:52 am

jmcnrick

must be fun when you take them to the beach or pool

9:52 am

dianedecoder

9:53 am

jmcnrick

*sigh* apparently i have them again

9:53 am

Aloyisius

raita is in A-Z list but not acceptable.. one of my suggestions to DrG for the new site was to coordinate the dictionary with the word list so that there would not be so many omissions

9:53 am

jmcnrick

bye diane

9:53 am

bichon

We've only had them a couple of weeks, so we don't know the full range of their possibilities.

9:53 am

Aloyisius

wonder when the new site will be ready?

9:53 am

jmcnrick

mmmm raita

9:53 am

bichon

I'd like a dictionary which includes the word spam

9:54 am

jmcnrick

and mosh

9:54 am

dianedecoder

some neighbor friends named their boys Matt & Dylan... I never forget their names !!! Byeeeee

9:54 am

herinfernallady

Awwwwww Bichon that is so sweet. Someone is trying hard to buy a dog from a puppy farm as the breeder says she is too deaf and old to be rescued.

9:54 am

Aloyisius

sounds reasonable to me, bichon

9:55 am

bichon

Small Paws Rescue has lots of puppy mill rescues. They will only give them to homes with a socialized dog and no kids under 10 y.o.

9:56 am

herinfernallady

The lady rescued some of them but this one dog they wouldn't give up. I think someone is going to buy the dog. Even if she has to be put down she wont have anymore suffering

9:57 am

bichon

Puppy mill rescues are special cases. They've never lived outside a crate and are very timid. I would worry about fear biting with my grandchildren

9:57 am

jmcnrick

*sigh* that is sad herin

9:58 am

crosshair

good morning! and crossy tears up the grid with to 7/32 as my first word;)

9:58 am

herinfernallady

Bichon I have had the joyous experience of handling a puppy mill dog. She was a darling. Never felt grass before. Her little face lit up. She was very very timid

9:59 am

crosshair

10:00 am

herinfernallady

1:50 pm

1:51 pm

MollyL

It seems like a lot of people I know are suddenly turning up Vitamin D deficient, including me.

1:51 pm

hurshy

well doctors didn't used to bother checking. but it's not surprising if you don't spend much time outside.

1:51 pm

MollyL

How much are you taking Hursh? Mine number was very low too.

1:52 pm

hurshy

2000 a day. i'll be interested to see how high that raises it, and whether i can take less after awhile.

1:53 pm

Boobear

not finding the other en 7

1:54 pm

MollyL

I was surprised that I was deficient. It's certainly not from lack of sun exposure. Up until recently, I wasn't eating a lot of fruit though, so that could be part of it.

1:54 pm

Boobear

nm found it

1:54 pm

mkg

any clues for other 8s?

1:55 pm

hurshy

it's not in fruit. it's not in anything. the only way you can get it is fortified milk or juice, where they've added it. and they don't add it to the milk before they make cheese or ice cream or anything so you can't get it from other dairy either.

1:56 pm

hurshy

and if you do what is advised with sunscreen to prevent skin cancer, that may (i forget if they are sure about this yet or not) inhibit your ability to make it from the sun, too.

1:56 pm

we have a summer program in which various people give lectures. and we ask a lot of the same people to lecture year after year. but it can be hard to nail down dates, cause they don't answer their emails, don't know their schedules, etc. so i have sent a couple of follow-up requests. well this one older gentleman, who sits on our executive committee and has always given a lecture, emailed to say he hates giving lectures and just doesn't want to do one! which is fine, of course. the poor man, doing them all this time.

Sometimes laundry is out of control. Some weeks are just like that.

4:53 pm

lilliann

4:53 pm

cosdem

4:53 pm

we have horrible black birds here with shiny beaks and bit on head, rook, i think and they pinch all the little birds food if they can get it

4:57 pm

lilliann

not the normal black bird, they are medium size, these are alot bigger

4:57 pm

lilliann

they are the same type of family i8 think

4:57 pm

stidgmere

Cowbirds are the ones that throw the eggs of the original parents out of the nest and put their own in, thereby totally declining any parenting responsibilities--not to mention eggicide.

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What is the longest word ever to be babbled?

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What is the least possible number of words that could be in a grid?

4:58 pm

stidgmere

The starlings are the birds that freak me out. The way they come on in waves and waves.

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If the grid is random, does it ever come up with only one letter.

4:58 pm

stidgmere

Those questions are answered somewhere on the lists.

4:58 pm

lilliann

is that not magpies stidmere?

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is getting Hitchcockian.

4:58 pm

hootowl

But the starlings don't bring every other one in the neighborhood

4:58 pm

lilliann

not got a clue kaplan

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The Birds! Poor Tippi Hedrin!

4:59 pm

Boobear

4:59 pm

lilliann

i hate that film, the birds, that was scary!!

4:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Getting her eyyes pecked out!

4:59 pm

hootowl

I think smallest was 35 words

4:59 pm

stidgmere

The ones in waves or the eggicide? Waves are starlings--we had them in the fields of South Carolina. Cowbirds we have here in the northwest.

4:59 pm

hootowl

I think Lickety has that stuff in his listing

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Later Hitchcock I don't like. But Rear Window, North by Northwest, and The 39 Steps are great.

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never saw Psycho and don't care to.

5:00 pm

lilliann

argghhh, don't kap,that but that was awful!

5:00 pm

lilliann

all of his were scary!!

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Strangers on a Train is also good.

5:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Spellbound.

5:01 pm

lilliann

no, the pushing out of the eggs and adding their own, is that not magpies?

5:01 pm

Good Enough

is it possible to watch rear window without yelling at the tv!

5:02 pm

lilliann

we have starlings here, and my robin and some different types of tits.i have all sorts of bird feeders, doesn't help when you have 2 cats though!

5:02 pm

stidgmere

Not around here, it is cowbirds, lilliann.

5:02 pm

lilliann

i've never heard of a cow bird stidgmere

5:03 pm

hootowl

never heard of magpies doing that but my familiarity is minuscle

5:04 pm

Boobear

has anyone here ever heard of whoopie pies

5:04 pm

lilliann

i know magpies steal, and i thought they did that from other nests

5:04 pm

hootowl

pray you never get them lillian - they are messy, greedy and stubborn. And I don't want them around whenCardinals strat breeding

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Your familiarity is minuscule? Everything you are saying today is striking me odd!

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Whoopie pies, yes.

5:04 pm

lilliann

is that a bird or a pie you sit on boo?!!

5:04 pm

Boobear

they are so good

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"My familiarity is minuscule."

5:04 pm

lilliann

5:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hmmm. And my laundry screams.

5:05 pm

hootowl

why" and yes I've jheard of them and I live in Memphis so they are all over the place

5:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, Hoot.

5:05 pm

Boobear

it is a chocolate pie with cream in the middle

5:05 pm

lilliann

i'll have to google them hoot

5:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Eskimo Pies are better.

5:05 pm

hootowl

hahahahaha - I just happen to have a vocabulary thet goes beyond babble!

5:06 pm

stidgmere

Magpies eat lots of things and eggs may be one of their foods. But they don't put their own eggs in the nest as far as my Audubon Society Field Guide to No
rth American Birds mentions.

5:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I was told that people from Tennessee pronounce it TENnessee.

5:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My familiarity is minuscule, but my pet dog is enormous.

5:07 pm

lilliann

oh ok stidgemere, i'll ask my f.i.l as he knows all about these types of birds

5:07 pm

Jillyjill

well, eye strained..gonna take a break half way there bbl

5:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I picture a starving familiarity huddling in a corner.

5:08 pm

lilliann

bfn jilly

5:08 pm

stidgmere

I love seeing the European birds for you have so many we just don't have. I could have done without the starling being introduced into North America.

5:08 pm

5:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

How much is that doggie in the window?

5:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think that was the song that pushed the culture over the edge into the rock revolution.

5:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Where on Long Island?

5:10 pm

lilliann

they are greedy little suckers and push the little birds out of the way stidgmere but i have a hedge in my back garden and put fat balls right into it so they can't get them and only the little ones can.

5:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

5:10 pm

MollyL

Cool, Hoot is from Long Guyland.

5:10 pm

stidgmere

Right now Molly there are flickers in the trees. The gulls are mostly resting and there are a few crows on watch duty.

5:11 pm

lilliann

we use to have swifts nesting under our roof, and they did for years but have gone now, which is a shame.we do have collared doves aswell which is nice.

5:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The birds are invading Tennessee.

5:11 pm

MollyL

Sounds lovely Gran Mere. Crows are my totem animal.

5:11 pm

stidgmere

I love the sound of the doves. They have such a soft, contented sound.

5:12 pm

stidgmere

Who doesn't feel afinity with crows? They are the clever ones with social skills and generally a good sense of humor.

5:12 pm

lilliann

hhmmm, not when they are nesting on the sky dish right by the bedroom window stidgmere!!lol

8:30 pm

Jillyjill

There are some jobs not worth any amount of $$

8:30 pm

Jacula

Jilly - what meat? Chicken? Prawns?

8:30 pm

lilliann

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

lilliann

8:31 pm

snags

may I ask what was offered and what made it insulting?

8:31 pm

Jillyjill

chicken jacula

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

it was to head a very small peace organization in a very small town in the deep south

8:32 pm

jmcnrick

i have been the head of a national organization for 12 years

8:32 pm

jmcnrick

when i resigned i published that part of the point was to expand my horizans

8:33 pm

Jacula

Jilly - we're having chicken fahjitas tonight. Crispy chicken with tortillas and sour cream and chive dip + salad.

8:33 pm

snags

small towns don't work like the big city or international ones.

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

i guess i can't explain it well but it was like -- oh well a peace organization is all you are good for

8:34 pm

Jillyjill

On a no fat no starch diet....but it's cool we had the same thought in mind!!

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

nevermind where it is or what size it is

8:34 pm

Jacula

jmc - Have you thought of going to Africa or somewhere like that? Mind you, you might be better working with people for better water, farming methods or with wildlife for that. Forgive me, I was just thinking about what I'd have done in another life.

8:35 pm

snags

no,, I understand. Like going from being a medical doctor to being an orderly.

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

i have been invited to teach in kenya for a year

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

i have thought about it

8:35 pm

Jillyjill

that would be cool

8:35 pm

Jacula

Jilly, don't cut all fat out.

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

thank you snags i was afraid i was sounding snobby

8:35 pm

snags

8:36 pm

lilliann

then they don't deserve you jmc and i agree with jac, about africa

8:36 pm

jmcnrick

so i don't think i have met you before snags so nice to meet you

8:36 pm

Kenya woud be something to consider IMO if there was nothing holding you back.

8:37 pm

jmcnrick

i am looking at the possibility of doing overseas contract work

8:37 pm

snags

ty Jm, I dont think I have met you either. Nice meeting you also.

8:37 pm

jmcnrick

my cat holds me back somewhat

8:37 pm

jmcnrick

have you been babbling long?

8:37 pm

Jacula

So, we're all agreed then - we're sending jmc off to Africa. I've heard the big skies and the country get under your skin. If you go there, you might never want to return.

8:38 pm

jmcnrick

i was there just last July jac

8:38 pm

lilliann

it doesn't have to be africa but anywhere around the world where you could be kept safe and do good

8:38 pm

snags

I babbled for awhile before it became this.

8:38 pm

You will know when the right assignment comes along.

8:39 pm

jmcnrick

8:39 pm

Jacula

snags - 'this'?

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

thats what i think most of the time jac and snags but sometimes i gets discouraged

8:40 pm

snags

Meaning before it became a site you could pay for.

8:40 pm

lilliann

that's what i said jac at 8.38

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

oh

8:40 pm

Jacula

Thanks, jmc, but it will only be for a holiday. Life isn't on that track where I would work there. Might have been some years back, but not now.

8:40 pm

We don't globe trot much, not just down to money but also down to not being able to stand all the delays and palaver at airports these days. Anyway, there's still much of our own beautiful island that we haven't discovered yet.

jmc,what you do with the hiccups is you get a glass,fill it with whiskey,and bend over at the waist and drink the entire glass in one breath from the far side of the glass and you will be cured!

8:52 pm

Jacula

Crossy - but won't jmc fall over after drinking a whole glass of whiskey that quickly? I suppose the shock of suddenly falling over, plus the hospital trip that may come after that, would sideline the hiccups.;-)

8:52 pm

9:11 pm

cybernan

Where is your family in Canada, Jacula?

9:11 pm

Jillyjill

re6/18 before you go jac?

9:12 pm

lilliann

on my computor they are broken and gone, so i know i can't hear anything and on laptop and can';t hear anything as i'm deaf so probably doesnt help as not wearing hearing aids and plus i don't wear them anyway!!

9:12 pm

cybernan

ripped again

9:12 pm

Trifioso

ugh, I do not envy you the grocery schlep, jac!

9:12 pm

Jillyjill

ty cyber

9:12 pm

Jacula

Jilly - re6/18 = ripped again.

9:13 pm

lilliann

did mine yestereday

9:13 pm

Jacula

cyber - great minds think alike re clues!

9:13 pm

lilliann

oops , meant to say did mine yesterday on line jacs

9:13 pm

cybernan

na 6/18, please? -- not the country nor the one that rhymes with the serviceman

9:14 pm

cybernan

Jacula -- where is your family in Canada?

9:15 pm

dfmchfhf

na6/18 salt?

9:15 pm

dfmchfhf

(embalming salt to be specific.)

9:15 pm

Jacula

Lil - a) Can I ask you why you don't wear your hearing aid? My ex Pa-in-law doesn't and it drives us mad. Okay, I can understand him not wanting to listen to Ma-in-Law most of the time, but why can't he wear it for meals out and social occasions? b) Shopping on line. How is when someone else chooses all your fresh stuff for you?

9:16 pm

cybernan

not sure if it is the salt or not as I have no idea what that is

9:16 pm

Jacula

Cyber - ex bro and sis in law in Calgary, Aunt and Uncle now in Ontario (afterr moving around all over since the 1960s) and cousin on Manitoulin Island, On.

9:16 pm

cybernan

yes it must be the salt

9:18 pm

lilliann

jac,i don't wear them as it's too loud!! i know that sounds weird from someone deaf, but there is too much noise going on!

9:18 pm

Jacula

Lil - it doesn't sound weird, since my Dad wore one and he used to complain about background noise etc.

9:18 pm

cybernan

hope you enjoy your trip -- will you be coming to Calgary?

9:19 pm

Jacula

cyber - I imagine so!

9:19 pm

lilliann

when you are deaf and get use to it and lipread when you get hearing aids you forget about how much noise there is, but you can't distinguish between each and it's awful

9:20 pm

cybernan

I give up on that na 6 salt -- could I have a clue for dummies?

9:20 pm

lilliann

i could hear people chatting from the other part of a room but not the people i was talking to next to me...drove me mad...prefer to lipread!

9:20 pm

Jacula

Lil - That's what Dad used to say. A crowded pub/room was just confusing because you couldn't pinpoint where the sound was coming from.

9:20 pm

Trifioso

I am nbt, nbs, and more than halfway, so I think I shall call it a day, and get some much-needed sleep. goodnight and sleep well, my dear friends

9:20 pm

Jillyjill

ri6/21 please?

9:20 pm

Minveryork

The na6/18 is na plus Jeff Bridges 80s movie dfmchfhf

9:21 pm

Minveryork

That ri 6/21 word is just like re the 6/21 word Jillyjill.

9:21 pm

Jacula

The new £1,000 in-ear hearing aids are much better, apparently. Mum did get Dad one in the latter years of his life, but he was too far gone with the dementia to either use it or tell us if it worked.

9:21 pm

cybernan

couldn't name one Jeff Bridges movie, no matter what year!

9:22 pm

Jillyjill

cyber: na+the new movie sequel with Jeff Bridges where he's lost in a video game

9:22 pm

cybernan

nm -- monkeyed it

9:22 pm

Jacula

1st na6/18 is like a US navy man but with different 1dt letter, obviously, and the last letter missing.

9:22 pm

cybernan

I don't watch many movies and I never play video games

9:23 pm

Jillyjill

na+**uffle(candy)+ not off

9:23 pm

2nd na6/18 refers to the whole a a people from a country.

9:23 pm

9:23 pm

Jillyjill

and thank you minv!!

9:23 pm

3rd na6/18 is like the chief nurse in a UK hospital (Hattie Jacques used to play one in the Carry On films).

9:24 pm

Jacula

Hi Min. Wherever you are in the chog.

9:24 pm

lilliann

i got my hearing aids 3 years ago and they are digital ones but it doesn't make any difference jac, and i waited for years to get them

Congratulations cybernan on fireworks!Good for you!

9:29 pm

Minveryork

Hi Jacula! How are you? I am drifting in & out of here.

9:30 pm

lilliann

np jac,i thought i would be able to hear probably again as everyone who is deaf so you put all your hopes on that but it doesn't quite work like that with hearing aids

9:30 pm

Jacula

Hi Min. I'm okay, though I may not be later in the crush of a Saturday in the supermarket after having been awake half the night.:-(

9:30 pm

lilliann

go now jac, whilst ther's no-one there

9:30 pm

Jacula

Any chance of an ear op., Lil?

9:31 pm

lilliann

i've had them jac

9:31 pm

Jacula

Lil - no where's open yet.

9:31 pm

lilliann

tescos, sainsburys??

9:32 pm

Jacula

Lil - re the ops. You'd think, these days, with all the new plastics etc., they could implant something to replace either the ear bones or the drum, wouldn't you?

9:32 pm

sammysmom

clue please for ar 6/18 ?

9:32 pm

lilliann

1 ear is up and down with hearing but i don't want a cochlear earplant

9:32 pm

Jacula

Lil - not in our village! And, even if I did own and drive a vehicle, I wouldn't after drinking wine.

9:33 pm

Jacula

sammy - more painter-like.

9:33 pm

Jacula

Think Picasso etc.

9:33 pm

lilliann

oh, right, i can see why why you don't want to shop..lol

9:33 pm

Minveryork

ar6/18 word may mean to be more skillfull or talented

9:34 pm

Jacula

Lil - I could shop, but I don't think driving after drinking any amount of booze is wise.

9:34 pm

lilliann

plus i've had enough ops in my ears that haven't worked jac

9:35 pm

Jacula

I can drive, btw.

9:35 pm

sammysmom

thanks minver

9:35 pm

Minveryork

yw

9:35 pm

Jacula

Lil - I can understand you not wanting to go through more ops then.

9:35 pm

lilliann

no, i quite agree jac, i've had a couple of glasses of wine and wouldn't drive either

9:37 pm

lilliann

that is why i have lost my balance and in a wheelchair, i thought was right decision at time, but maybe not!but i'm still here and healthy so can't compalin. atleast i can get around :)

9:38 pm

Jacula

I think that when you reach 45 you should automatically be put on a waiting list for either body transplant or new parts. That way, the way the NHS works now, you might at least get a replacement hip by the time you're 80.

9:39 pm

Jacula

Lil - ears are so important for balance, as is your big toe. Labrynthitis (I think it's called - loss of balance due to ear problems) is horrible. I suffered it briefly and hope it doesn't return.

9:40 pm

lilliann

he thing is they give you a replacement joint when you are 80 but not when you are younger and need it more because they don't want you to wear it out!!i don't understand that!!

9:40 pm

lilliann

mine has been destroyed for good jac, never will return!!

9:40 pm

Jacula

Me neither, Lil!

9:41 pm

lilliann

i hope yours never returns jac

9:42 pm

Jacula

I'm going to wander off now, Lil, lest the supermarket trolley dashers run amok over me later, or else I succumb to trolley rage and run amok myself. Lovely talking to you and I hope to see you again here soon. xxx

9:44 pm

lilliann

lol, i hate anyone with a trolley! i get wheelchairn rage!!lol have fun going around the shop!!that's why i either send hubby or do it online.it's been nice chatting to you to.tc.xx

At this ra 4/4, I will never finish!I think no4/4 of the last 27 words will be easy to find.Not feeling so ad6/21 w/the grid.I don't want to hi4/5 monkeys to ea4/4 their bananas. They would just make me ir5/10 anyway. I do not give one io 4/4 about finishing the grid today anyway. Da4/5! Hubby is ti4/4d of listening to the ra 5/12&he wants the computer! If I do not give it to him, he will cause a ri4/4 and start yelling at me in a nasty to 4/4. I am glad I had time to do6/21 a story of clues.Hope I was a good do 7/32 & my do 8/45 of clues helped and was not too do 5/20. Now I should go ir 4/4 some clothes and make the kitchen ne5/10,but I'm going to da 4/5 on into the bedroom&watch a film no4/4 for the rest of the ni 4/4. Goodnight babblers! See you tomorrow!

Jillyjill

Uneaixoise

10:51 pm

Jillyjill

I really am in tears....

10:51 pm

Uneaixoise

Jacula

10:58 pm

Jillyjill

Thanks Jac, just chatting now with Jellen too

11:00 pm

Jacula

Read it, Jilly!

11:01 pm

Jillyjill

Did and replied

11:02 pm

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

11:02 pm

Jacula

Saw it. Okay.

11:03 pm

Jacula

Clues? it's only 5.03am here, still on 11 Feb grid.

11:04 pm

Jillyjill

Jac, thought you were niters?

11:04 pm

Jacula

Sorry Lickety - a few of us got there before you. Thanks anyway. I know some people use the inputting thing you do.

11:04 pm

Jacula

Jilly - I was, but I came back. You try having hot flushes on the hour every bloody hour.

11:06 pm

Jillyjill

MIne have let up over the past 4 years...now if I could only get a nights sleep...can never get past 3 hoursw/o waking up...menopause is not for wimps!!

11:07 pm

Jacula

You either don't sleep much, or the sleep you do have is punctuated either by hot flushes and trying to cool down or by dreams and hallucinations. It's not a bundle of fun.

11:08 pm

Jillyjill

nope, not in the least!

11:10 pm

Jacula

I wouldn't mind so much if I was hallucinating abougt Captn Jack Sparrow or even George Clooney, but I was hallucinating about cooking dinner the other night. I knew I was hallucinating because the cooker was next to the bed and I was grilling sausages for the family, even though I knew they were all in bed. But my mind told me that I should have made dinner.

11:11 pm

Jacula

And my mind kept waking me up just before I went into deep and proper sleep.

11:11 pm

Jillyjill

lol...I get some pretty weird ones too

11:12 pm

Jacula

Jeeze! If I have to have dreams or hallucinations, can't they be less boring ones?

11:12 pm

Jillyjill

I usually head into that deep sleep about an hour before I have to get up...really sucks...I am looking forward to tomorrow AM, sleeping in

11:13 pm

Jacula

I even half woke, got out of bed nd went downstairs t check that what I needed to make the meal was out of the freezer.

11:13 pm

Jillyjill

I usually have ones with my coworkers in them...no cooking ones yet (thank God..I'm on a diet!!)

11:15 pm

Jillyjill

ANd if not dreams, then I wake up and think of something that I forgot or have to do...then ALL hopes of returning to sleep is gone

11:16 pm

Jacula

I had another with my stepdaughter asking about when dinner would be ready in it and another where Beloved and me wher in bed in a strange long empy room where characters who looked like they were from The Rocky Horror Show, leant against our bed and did their best to prevent me putting a light or lamp on to deal with the crying baby on the other side of the room whose mother seemed to have abandoned it.

11:16 pm

Jillyjill

Oh my, you do have me beat!!

11:17 pm

Jacula

I wasn't trying to compete.

11:17 pm

Jillyjill

What I do now is put headphones on...in the middle of the night public radio has the BBC on...lol

11:18 pm

Jacula

Yea, I tend to put the headphones on, too and head to Youtube and my fave songs. Problem is, I tend to link to youtube and other sites then.

11:18 pm

Jillyjill

I have the usual naked or undressed dreams...don't think I want those interpreted...lol

11:19 pm

Jillyjill

Or worse yet, I'm pregnant!

11:21 pm

Jacula

Pregnancy is not an option for me now. But getting preggers in your 50s is totally a no-no- for your earlier children. I mean! People that age don't actualy 'do it', do they?

11:22 pm

Jacula

Surely, only people from 18-25 actually know anything about sex?

11:22 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I've 'crossed over' so to speak, so pregnancy is a nightmare..lol

11:23 pm

Jillyjill

Actually, they are all knowing about everything... ;0

11:23 pm

Jacula

You cannot have a child in your 50s! It is not allowed! Old folks shouldn't be doing that sort of thing. LOL

11:24 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, mine are totally grossed out to even think about it....wicked me love it!!

11:25 pm

Jacula

Erm, are you preggers, jmc?

11:26 pm

Jacula

You're not such a wicked parent that you are actually teasing your older children with this idea, are you?

11:26 pm

Jillyjill

You betcha!!

11:27 pm

Jillyjill

I love hearing them cry.."MOOOOOON"

11:27 pm

Jacula

That's nasty, Jilly!

11:27 pm

Jillyjill

whoops...MOOOOOM

11:28 pm

Jillyjill

Actually what got my oldest son the best was threatening to go back to college with him!! He turned white...

11:30 pm

Jacula

I heard myself accidentally saying something I thought I would never say, last week. My daughter, 23, was saying how long it would take her to finish her masters degree after uni, find a job, find a fella etc., and that took her into her 30s. Suddenly, I heard myself saying, 'Don't leave it too long!'

11:31 pm

Jacula

I did say 'I can't believe I just said thaty!' after. But it's been said, so no going back.

11:33 pm

Jillyjill

Well, it's true enough...so glad I had mine in my twenties...my sister in law had her lasat at 40 *shudders*

11:33 pm

Jacula

I had a career, but that was after I'd been informed by ex hub that there would be no children, at leasrt not in my early 20s. I decided that 1st child should be born by the time I was 27 and 2nd before I was 30. I achieved both goals but lost the husband.

11:35 pm

Jillyjill

But look what you have now!!

11:36 pm

Jillyjill

My first at 24, second at 28

11:36 pm

Jacula

Eventually, many years on, I found a new love. He's got a tenaged daughter who's driving him nuts. I never wanted another child, but I've got her, and I think I handle her better than her Dad does.

11:37 pm

Jacula

Have to say that I am very proud of both of my kids.

11:37 pm

Jacula

As for Step? She's not performing well yet, but we'll see.

11:39 pm

Jillyjill

Me too, although my youngest is struggling getting off his feet, this damned economy. He works under a contract as a chemist; some jobs 6 weeks, some 2 days...he's desperate to get a 'real position'

11:39 pm

Jacula

My daughter, after a blip of 3 years in a mental health clinic, due to an eating disorder, is right on target now. My son, could do better It's about time he looked for a job.

11:39 pm

Jillyjill

My oldest took 27 years and many mistakes to finally grow up!!

11:40 pm

Jacula

Jilly - there's hope for my first born yet, then.

11:41 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, hope he doesn't marry the hellish mistake my son did...lol...never thought I'd be so happy to have a child divorced!

11:42 pm

Jacula

Back to Step - Though she aspires to University, having heard the chat between me and my two kids, I have seen that acadaemia is not her forte. I think she needs a college to teach her skills.

11:43 pm

Jacula

How do I tell her that without sounding like I'm telling her she's thick/stupid/not up to it?

11:44 pm

Jillyjill

Our oldest went into the Coast Guard for that same reason..but now he's in college and doing wonderfully...some just need some time and life experience

11:45 pm

Jacula

Oh, and why did Beloved ever think I could be a Mum to his daughter, who he knew I'd never taken to, when he knew what a pig's ear I'd made of bringing up my own kids apres divorce?

11:45 pm

Jillyjill

We set a grade point average (he never applied himself) and then told him it was either a trade school or the military.

11:46 pm

Jillyjill

I am sure you are too hard on yourself Jac...they don't come with manuals after all...

11:46 pm

Jacula

That's a good thing, jilly, but not something we'd do in UK.

11:47 pm

Jacula

Wish they did, Jilly.

11:47 pm

Jillyjill

Plus, I think men have a harder time as single parents...

11:47 pm

Jillyjill

We set the bar, not the schools..

11:48 pm

Jacula

I'm off to annoy Beloved again now by putting my cold butt on his warm one. And, as for Beloved spending time as a single parent, he never had to nor did.

11:49 pm

Jillyjill

niters jac, think I'll do the same...not up for a flip tonight...nice chatting with you !
