i lost my cousin a couple of weeks ago. it was very hard
1:25 am
jillibus
me too, flosey -- really, I'm surprised how hard this has hit!
1:26 am
jillibus
josh, this is my former bridge partner, suddenly and surprisingly in palliative care. Went to see her today and haven't got over the shock yet.
1:27 am
joshuavorbis
i'm sorry, i'm sure everyone is trying to make sense of things
1:27 am
jillibus
Is this grid extra tough or am I extra stunned?
1:28 am
joshuavorbis
probably a little of both
1:28 am
jillibus
could be -- glad to know it's tough for some others too
1:30 am
joshuavorbis
at least it's tiny
1:31 am
jillibus
tiny is usually terrible
1:31 am
joshuavorbis
i would feel a lot more comfortable if i had the 8
1:32 am
jillibus
I don't give a hoot about 8s until later
1:34 am
jillibus
darn -- there are ferris wheels but ferris is a nono here. Prper noun, I guess
1:34 am
joshuavorbis
yeah i tried that too
1:36 am
jillibus
sheesh, monkeyed a vi4 and it worked -- bah!
1:37 am
jillibus
and the same ti worked too
1:38 am
joshuavorbis

1:41 am
jillibus
wtg as usual, josh
1:43 am
joshuavorbis
if you get a word starting with t or s, it is a good idea to try it starting with the other one in this grid
1:44 am
jillibus
thks, josh, will try to remember that for tomorrow when I'm more compos mentis
1:45 am
joshuavorbis
whatever the 8 is, it starts from the middle r

r8/45 is very unusual adjective that could be applied momentarily to firework. anyone want a clue to it?
1:58 am
eponaspride
yes please
1:59 am
scouser
there is a mineral for the first five letters and word ends in -ant
2:04 am
jillibus
I see it's an ru8
2:07 am
scouser
shall I try a less obscure clue?
2:14 am
scouser
hello - anyone out there? any clue for the tw5/22 please?

there is a bearded sheep in here today
2:25 am
jillibus
came back and deciphered the ru8!
2:25 am
jillibus
Now for the bearded sheep of which we have none here although our island is notied for its regular sheep
2:26 am
jillibus
what does the bearded kind start with, pese?
2:26 am
jillibus
*please (I should be in bed)
2:27 am
scouser
starts with ur
2:28 am
scouser
the mineral in ru8 can form sparkly needle-like crystals inside clear quartz, sometimes dark red or black, sometimes golden.
2:29 am
jillibus
never would have guessed that, scouser -- ty for the mineral's talents!
2:29 am
scouser
the sheep is from south Asia
2:30 am
scouser
No I thought it was a name for an angel
2:30 am
jillibus
my monkeys can't find the sheep and I give up -- bedwards again ( it's half past midnight here)
2:31 am
scouser
wa4/12 is often heard here
2:33 am
jillibus
well, I got one of the wa4/12s
2:34 am
jillibus
and got the other wa4/12--!
2:36 am
scouser
the sheep sounds very biblical and ends like that too
2:36 am
jillibus
I see the sheep is an ur5 because I have the totally unrelated ur4
2:37 am
scouser
sorry yes it is ur5/12
2:39 am
jillibus
sorry -- just too tired to figure it out -- bedtime for sure now -- have a happy day and thanks for the effort to help
2:39 am

Glantarell
ow is your situation this morn ing? still being a gracious hostess?
4:23 am
rubyfoo
I can here your (silent) screams from France!
4:24 am

they never stop talking about "old times" (the only thing they have in common) and treat me like a servant!
4:24 am
Glantarell
i do hope you are being a suitably polite and gracious servant LOL

and when they are sitting and talking, if I come into the room, they go silent! Charming
4:28 am
Glantarell
silence isn't such a bad thing if the conversation is dull LOL
4:28 am
rubyfoo
same old stories and lies.....
4:28 am
Glantarell
do you know the worst thing you can do to somebody you dislike is to be relentlessly and exceedingly nice to them?
4:29 am
Glantarell
they know you don't mean it but they can't complain about you being nice! really really nice, ALL the time - like every two minutes
4:29 am
rubyfoo
one of my old friends used to say that "Kill them with kindness!"
4:29 am
Glantarell
it produces total consternation
4:29 am

Enjoy it Ruby, at least you can do your own thing while your husband is otherwise occupied

morning all - a little bit of tricky one this mornin
4:31 am
Glantarell
first li5?
4:31 am
rubyfoo
hello kaz!
4:31 am
Glantarell
NM - got it
4:31 am
Glantarell
Hi Kazz
4:31 am
rubyfoo
any li5? hahah
4:31 am
lynxxx
Just make sure you do at least one 'cold cuts' eac day Ruby ie just fling stuff onto a platter
4:32 am
Kazzer99
been reading the chog - cant you go on strike Ruby? Also glan - my sister had the same problem and got the police to take him away
4:32 am
rubyfoo
were his daughters any help, ultimately, glanta?
4:33 am
Glantarell
Kazz - his position is that he wons half the house so is perfectly entitled to live in it and he is being so polite i have no cause for complaint
4:33 am
Glantarell
no his daughters are not very helpful
4:33 am
Glantarell
he went to see if he could raise the finance to buy me out yesterday but he can't raise it - i never thought he could for a moment
4:33 am
Kazzer99
find a solicitor that does the free short consultation and see where you stand
4:34 am
rubyfoo
glant: you are almost a phantom!
4:34 am
Glantarell
he is now suggesting - wait for it - that (because I have more mortgage buying poer thna him) we buy another house jointly and we each own a half share in both
4:35 am
rubyfoo
is he out of his mind?
4:35 am
Glantarell
and i said so i get to live in a small house while you get this lovely big one and we pay equal shares?
4:35 am
Kazzer99
that is crazy!
4:35 am
Glantarell
he is walter mitty with a hide like a rhinoceros
4:36 am
rubyfoo
you need a rhino gun!
4:36 am
Glantarell
he says we would both be some much better off in the long term - which is true - but i'd actually like to enjoy some good times while i am young enough to do so! his plan would mean i would he=ave every penny of my wages committed to living expenses
4:36 am
Glantarell
and anyway, i really want him out of my life and buying a house together would guarantee that never happened
4:37 am
rubyfoo
don't do it, however charming his blandishments
4:37 am
Glantarell
no intention - i want the house on the market asap
4:37 am
rubyfoo
he'd be better in the long term; you'd be scr*****
4:37 am
Glantarell
i'd be in a psych hospital
4:37 am
lynxxx
Sell the house, give him his due, and buy an other for yourself - at least he will be out of your life!
4:38 am
rubyfoo
amen, sisters!
4:38 am
Kazzer99
like i said get some advise - its a horrible situation to be in
4:38 am
Glantarell
that is my plan lyn - but i predict that he will try to sabotage it
4:38 am
Glantarell
i plan to get some free legal advice via my employers assistance programme
4:39 am
lynxxx
...and follow Kazz's advice, make sure you get all your bases covered
4:39 am
lynxxx
excellent!
4:39 am
Glantarell
i can talk to a solicitor on the phone for free
4:39 am
rubyfoo
must go, they're back from the store {{big hugs all around}}
4:39 am
Glantarell
bye ruby - hugs back
4:39 am
lynxxx
bye Ruby - but DON"T rush up to them
4:40 am
Kazzer99
ruby - do you have to go? U have as much right to be doing something as they do - make then sort themselves out
4:44 am

Hmm, see that "wang" isn't allowed. Haven't these Americans heard of welly wanging?
5:11 am
frogface
aaaah good ole welly wanging - and cheese chasing and barrel races - ah the good old ways and days lmao
5:12 am
frogface
arent we english a strange lot lol
5:12 am
Sally-catlover
lol
5:12 am
frogface
hey sally u reckon any other country is as eccentric as us? i mean, where else will u find morris dancers and people who sing about combine harvesters?
5:14 am
Sally-catlover
Perhaps we just think of other countries as having quaint local customs and not as odd ones. I mean, we don't have a sport of running after bulls. Farmers here have a healthy regard for their livestock!
5:15 am
Sally-catlover
We are less inclined to dress up our dogs, or put little kids in beauty contests as far as I know. So no, I don't think we are eccentric - it's all the others, innit! :-)
5:16 am
frogface
omg i was in new york a few years ago andd their dogs!!!!
5:16 am
Sally-catlover
Hastens to assure US Babblers that I realise that not everyone does that, any more than all English are morris dancers!
5:18 am
frogface
maybe we're not all morris dancers, but u gotta admit we are all a bit odd. i stayed in broadway hotel in new york and 1st morning i came out of doors and these two chaps walked past with tiny dogs in their arms and both dogs were dressed in pink plastic coats with boots and they had a lil pink bow on their heads!!! mad!
5:19 am
Sally-catlover
Was it the chaps or the dogs with the pink bows? :-)
5:19 am
Sally-catlover
phone
5:19 am
frogface
lmao it was the dogs. and there was a woman in saks 5th avenue - old woman with fur coat etc - had a purple died poodle! madness
5:19 am
ivesy3
if it was new york, it was prob both!
5:20 am
frogface
lmao ivesy! i really loved ny but i gotta say they are a very "open" kinda people
5:21 am
ivesy3
for sure... never been there, live about an 8 hour drive out.... but people love it
5:22 am
frogface
i was staying in florida for 2weeks but went to ny for a weekend stopover. florida is very "hickish" in places but also very friendly. but ny really blew my mind
5:22 am
ivesy3
life kind of slow in fla, compared to ny heh? so many people,not my kind of place
5:23 am
frogface
anyways i gotta dash to shops now but will be back later =- been nice talking to you ivesy and as you lovely folk "across the pond" say - have a good day!!!
5:43 am
rubyfoo
we've gotten up to WW2 so far, childhood is finished. I could scream!
5:44 am
Sally-catlover
Hi ruby!!!!!!!!
5:44 am
rubyfoo
I just came back on and all the words I found before ar e not listed. Back to the beginning!
5:45 am
Sally-catlover
Just found the needlecase. Haven't had that one for a while.
5:45 am
Sally-catlover
Have you tried refreshing ruby?
5:45 am
rubyfoo
this is so weird. When I try to enter the words I put in this morning (but which are not on my list), it says they are already entered.
5:45 am
rubyfoo
how do you refresh?
5:45 am
Sally-catlover
Are you talking about your word list or lickety's?
5:46 am
rubyfoo
my word list - I was just under half :(
5:46 am
rubyfoo
I never use lickety, just struggle along with the help of the chog
5:47 am
Sally-catlover
I imagine you use Internet Explorer? You should find a menu item called Reload, but in my browser it looks like a little half circle with an arrow.
5:48 am
Sally-catlover
In Firefox I hit that Refresh button, but I see it is in the menu under View - Reload page. Otherwise try Alt + R.
5:49 am
Sally-catlover
Or your Refresh button might be on your address bar, to the right of where it says www.playbabble.com. See if there's something that looks circular!
5:49 am
rubyfoo
yay! I just logged out and re-entered. Phew! How are you sally?
5:50 am
Sally-catlover
That's good ruby, but some time try to find out how to refresh. Very useful if a web page is playing silly b*****s.
5:50 am
Sally-catlover
I'm not too bad. Gather you have the Daughter Visit at the moment.
5:51 am
rubyfoo
yes, what fun!
5:51 am
rubyfoo
they are treating me like a servant!
5:52 am
Sally-catlover
Point out politely that the last servant left, leave the room and do something else.
5:52 am
rubyfoo
that's why I'm in my studio playing. I fixed them their cocktails and quietly disappeared.
5:53 am
rubyfoo
almost half!
5:53 am
rubyfoo
and then out to lunch, yay!
5:53 am
Sally-catlover
Don't think of it as playing ruby! You are doing something with your time. What they do with their time is different.
5:53 am
Sally-catlover
Out to lunch is good. When does Daughter go?
5:53 am
rubyfoo
all they have in common is the past and I have heard the stories SO many times!!!!
5:54 am
Sally-catlover
And is it cheering up husband?
5:54 am
rubyfoo
Tues or Wed, and by bus!
5:54 am
rubyfoo
she can make her own way to the airport
5:55 am
rubyfoo
mean ruby!
5:55 am
Sally-catlover
just found a lovely gn 4/10 and plural ruby.
5:55 am
rubyfoo
ty sally, 38 now
5:56 am
Sally-catlover
So - is visit having a cheering-up effect?
5:56 am
rubyfoo
who knows? he isn't speaking to me at all.....
5:56 am
rubyfoo
and she made him go on a too-long walk yesterday!
5:57 am
rubyfoo
he is not ready to walk for an hour and a half up and down the BIG hill
5:57 am
Sally-catlover
Oh I don't know - might be bad for his heart .....
5:57 am
rubyfoo
nobody asks my opinion and he is so macho and stupid about stuff like that, would never admit being tired
5:57 am
rubyfoo
definitely. The cardiologist said "little by little", not all at once
5:58 am
rubyfoo
next time, I'm not going to the hospital everyday!
5:58 am
Sally-catlover
Have you spoken to her about it? Perhaps she didn't realise, if he would not say.
5:58 am
rubyfoo
I've tried, but she's not the sharpest blade in the drawer, that's for sure
5:59 am
rubyfoo
and he is very stubborn and never says when he doesn't feel well (unless he has a cold and then only wants drugs!)
6:00 am
Sally-catlover
In the end ruby we all have to live our lives as we choose. If he chooses to do things which are not good for him, that's his choice, not yours. It isn't for you to stop him. And perhaps it is better to die doing something you enjoy (like a long walk with your daughter) than stay at home doing what is "right" but makes you grumpy.
6:01 am
rubyfoo
and I'm not his mother!
6:01 am
Sally-catlover
Sorry, that came out like a lecture and wasn't meant as such.
6:01 am
rubyfoo
or hers, thank God!
6:01 am
rubyfoo
you can lecture me any time you want, Sally, you are much more wise than I!
6:01 am
rubyfoo
I need one word for half
6:02 am
Sally-catlover
Still have 19 to find, but can I help?
6:02 am
rubyfoo
top l or 4th column r or v?
6:03 am
rubyfoo
aah, got the 39th
6:03 am
Sally-catlover
For the V, go straight up for a Vi 4/7, then plural.
6:04 am
rubyfoo
now I had better go and be nice again, "killing them with kindness"
6:04 am
Sally-catlover
lol, bye for now.
6:05 am
rubyfoo
I've buried all my "sensitive" corresponence because she will probably snoop. All my stuff with soodle is under dog food tips and recipes.... hahah And sprite suggested marking a file private and then saying BOO!!!
6:06 am
Sally-catlover
lol, I did that once ruby. My ex-mother un law was baby sitting and I knew she would snoop. I had a whole load of letters to post and I put *nosey parker* in the middle. The letters were in a different order so I knew she had seen.
6:18 am
Sally-catlover
**gone**
6:36 am
MollyL
Morning all. Looks like what Carlee would call a "bitty grid". I guess we must all get our chores done today.
6:38 am
sandr
its a hard grid molly
6:40 am
Brookie
Hi everyone!
6:44 am
MollyL
Hey Brooke. Ah, there is nothing like the smell of a Spring morning, combined with blueberry/cinnamon muffings baking and bacon and eggs cooking.
6:44 am
Brookie
Muffings sound great too!
6:45 am
MollyL
It's obviously time to brew more coffee. : )
6:45 am
Brookie
Hopefully we can venture outside later. In the meantime, my older son has a fever and a bit of nausea. Younger son is full of energy!
6:45 am
Brookie
How are you doing, Molly?
6:46 am
MollyL
Aw, poor boy-o. Hope he feels better soon. I'm good, very glad it's the weekend and time to relax a bit.
6:46 am
Brookie
Me too. Really like your icon... very appropriate!
6:47 am
Brookie
Okay, silly question. Do you have the first li5?
6:48 am
Brookie
nm, got it!
6:52 am
MollyL
Sorry, I was seeing after breakfast. Weird word, eh?
6:53 am
Brookie
No worries. Actually, do you have either ru word? For whatever reason, I can't even monkey the ru4!
6:53 am
MollyL
I have the ru8
6:54 am
Brookie
I'll take a clue if you don't mind giving one.
6:55 am
MollyL
Oh, and there is the ru4. That is someone who regrets. The 8 is ru + ***e flooring can be slippery + picnic pest
6:56 am
Brookie
Great ru8 clue!
6:56 am
Brookie
And got the r4. Can't believe I didn't see that! I tried every strange combination out there. I typed every word known to mankind, short of "muffings".
6:57 am
Mema
I'm having trouble with the ***e flooring
6:57 am
Brookie
Think of ceramic ***e.
6:57 am
hurshy
the kind often in kitchens and bathrooms
6:57 am
Mema
SORRY!!!!!!!
6:57 am
MollyL
That's it Mema! : )
6:58 am
MollyL
Just your luck, I put some blueberry muffins in the PB.
6:58 am
MollyL
Morning Hursh.
6:58 am
hurshy
mmmm muffins
6:58 am
Deeha

6:59 am
Kaplan the Magne
Oh, great- I just got on and have an 8. NM-I never would have got it anyway.
7:01 am
Brookie
Hi mema, hurshy, deeha, and kaplan!
7:01 am
Kaplan the Magne
Goodmorning.
7:01 am
hurshy
i wonder if there will be muffins where i am going for breakfast
7:01 am
Deeha
Hi folks. W hat does the 8 start with Kap?
7:02 am
MollyL
Where are you going Hursh?
7:02 am
hurshy
it's a weird one deeha... ru... clue and word are posted in chat below
7:02 am
hurshy
bible study at a friend's house
7:02 am
Kaplan the Magne
Let's pretend I didn't get it from the chog. Don't look down. It is an ru8.
7:02 am
MollyL
That's nice. What do people usually serve for things like that?
7:03 am
hurshy
it varies, different people bring food each week
7:03 am
hurshy
last week we had eggs, biscuits, and bonus banana bread
7:03 am
MollyL
Oh, everyone brings something. Those are usually very nice.
7:03 am
Brookie
How about if you bring muffins, hursh, just to be sure? :-)
7:03 am
Kaplan the Magne
They serve sin-amin buns.
7:03 am
hurshy
i'm in charge of food next time
7:03 am
Kaplan the Magne
And angel's food cake.
7:04 am
Brookie
LOL, kaplan.
7:04 am
hurshy
i don't think i have enough time to make muffins afore leaving
7:04 am
Brookie
Bring muffins and say you're practicing for your role next time.
7:04 am
Kaplan the Magne
And testa-mints. Old and new.
7:05 am
MollyL
Kap is on a roll. : P
7:05 am
Brookie
Are you making these up on the spot, kaplan?
7:05 am
Kaplan the Magne
Yes I am.
7:06 am
Kaplan the Magne
Molly's question seemed like a perfect set-up.
7:06 am
Brookie
Very impressive.
7:06 am
hurshy
interesting. four words left, all five letters long. narrows the monkeying down, wot?
7:06 am
Kaplan the Magne
Impressive stupidity?
7:06 am
MollyL
Aren't you glad Kap isn't in your speech competition Brooke? : )
7:07 am
Kaplan the Magne
:)
7:07 am
Brookie
I'd be sweating bullets.
7:08 am
Brookie
My 3-year-old is making me squeeze an Aflac duck approximately every 10 seconds.
7:09 am
hurshy
tell him or her to squeeze his or her own aflac duck!
7:09 am
Kaplan the Magne
what is an aflac duck? is it a frend of the Damon duck?
7:10 am
MollyL
The woman I work with has one of those. Every once in a while, when it's real quiet in the office, she lets him rip.
7:10 am
Brookie
Oh good, he's moved on to something else. In all fairness, it was too hard for his little hands to squeeze on his own.
7:10 am
Brookie
Good one, Kaplan!
7:10 am
hurshy
aflac is supplemental insurance to pay bills and things if you can't work due to illness. the duck is their spokesduck.
7:10 am
Kaplan the Magne
:)
7:11 am
MollyL
The AFLAC duck is a stuffed duck that you squeeze and it says AFLAC! AFLAC! AFLAC!
7:11 am
EspritdJean
spokesduck just got fired didn't he?
7:11 am
Brookie
Hi esprit!
7:11 am
hurshy
the spokesduck got FIRED?!?!?!!!
7:12 am
EspritdJean

7:12 am
EspritdJean

7:12 am
EspritdJean
got fired for making stupid jokes about the Japan tragedy
7:12 am
hurshy

7:12 am
hurshy
f + three vowels + cons
7:12 am
Deeha
We have a wondeful series for an insurance comparison site starring a Russian meerkat. Try googling it, it makes me laugh everytime
7:12 am
EspritdJean
I'm sure they've started a nationwide talent hunt
7:13 am
hurshy

Got it! Thanks! Fireworks!
7:14 am

Why do dogs need there tails clipped?
12:59 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I thought you were having them neutered.
12:59 pm
jesdraggon
need? absolutely no damn reason, unless they are broken.
12:59 pm
jesdraggon
but people expect them to have short tails, so breeders have the tails cut off. and because breeders always have the tails cut off, buyers expect them to have short tails, and we're back to the beginning.
1:00 pm
jesdraggon
it's stupid. but i'd really rather that i do it, and suture them closed, than have people at home doing it with kitchen shears.
1:00 pm
zoozzoom
Oh poor thing how did your dogs tail get broken?
1:00 pm

yiokes.. i love long tails on my dogs so i can tug on them lol

1:03 pm
jesdraggon
well, i'm sure it doesn't feel good. they stop crying when I stop stitching though, so it's hard to tell how long the pain lasts. very very rare that there are any long-lasting complications or problems, but usually when there are it's because the owner did it at home instead of bringing the pups to the clinic.
1:03 pm
sadie52
i dont know why people think do that to tails and messin with ears is so necessary

it's so funny because in Big Love this season Barb is questioning things and feel women should be able to be priestholders. It's against Bill's dogma, but it's very UU. "Build your own theology" is a concept I adhere to. Poor Barb, she needs to become a Unitarian :)
1:29 pm

I love the music most of all. A friend of mine is in a choir and I go when she has a solo. They're a great group and don't try to get me roped in as a member. The church in downtown Portland is very conservative and tries to get everyone pinned down the second you walk in the door. Not my scene.
