3:10 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, Biltong, and good morning.
3:10 am
zoozzoom
Excellent clues, Haz..thank you.
3:10 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, zooz, good morning.
3:11 am
Biltong
Good morning zooz.
3:11 am
zoozzoom
Good morning to you too. And to everyone.
3:11 am
Biltong
How are you keeping Haz?
3:12 am
Haz1558
I'm fine - can't seem to get rid of a cough that's been lingering after a cold at Christmas but it'll go away eventually.
3:14 am
zoozzoom
I hate the lingering hacking cough. Really wears you down...hope you can get rid of it soon.
3:15 am
Haz1558
It's not a hacking cough really, just kind of tickly now. Whatever the virus was, it really hung in for much longer than usual. On the bright side, no flu nor norovirus, so that's a bonus.
3:16 am
Haz1558
Are you still suffering, zooz?
3:16 am
Biltong
Sorry to hear that. Hope it clears soon.
3:17 am
Haz1558
Thanks, Biltong.
3:18 am
zoozzoom
Sort of, Haz. The main cold symptoms seem to of clear..but then got a ruddy big cold sore come up on my lip..been using zovirax to try and shift it..lol
3:20 am
Haz1558
Not nice!
3:21 am
zoozzoom
Nothing drastic really..should be gone soon hopefully.
3:21 am
zoozzoom
Was it you who reccomended zinc lozenges, Haz?
3:22 am
Biltong
I hope you feel better soon zooz. Cold sores are nasty.
3:23 am
zoozzoom
I know, Biltong, Have not been out of the house for two days as it looks grusome..lol
3:23 am
zoozzoom
*gruesome
3:25 am
Haz1558
I think hurshy is keen on zinc.
3:26 am
zoozzoom
Ahh yes it could well of been, Hurshy then.
3:27 am
Haz1558
I think Zovirax is quite effective if you can get it right at the first sign of a cold sore, just when the tingling starts.
3:30 am
zoozzoom
Yes i agree..but i was not too sure and left it a bit too late..but next time i will be ready..lol
3:31 am
Haz1558
Yes, don't give it the benefit of the doubt, zap it!
3:37 am
Biltong
Just when I thought I couldn't possibly find anymore c's, I found 3 :)

Hello, lynxxx.

zoozzoom
Hello, Lynxxx!
3:38 am
Haz1558
You're okay, it's not PB worthy at all.
3:38 am
Biltong
Hello, lynxxx
3:38 am
zoozzoom
No you were safe with that one..lol
3:39 am
lynxxx
I'll try to do better next time
3:41 am
Haz1558
Toodle-oo, lynxx, have a good evening.
3:41 am
zoozzoom
Take care, Lynxxx.

Hello, Ruby!
4:14 am
Biltong
Hello, Ruby
4:14 am
Haz1558
Good morning, Ruby.
4:15 am
Haz1558
I have to get ready to go shopping. See you later!
4:15 am
zoozzoom
Have a good day, Haz.
4:15 am
Biltong
Bye, Haz. Enjoy your shopping.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
hi and bye haz
4:16 am
rubyfoo
{{zoozz}}
4:16 am
Haz1558
It's grocery shopping. Not very interesting, I'm afraid. But we have to eat! Bye for now...
4:16 am
rubyfoo
hello biltong, is it cold and windy there?
4:16 am
rubyfoo
eating is overrated
4:19 am
Biltong
It is cold and a little windy. Winds were bad earlier in the week. Bright sunshine this morning (so far) :)
4:19 am
rubyfoo
good, that means we might actually get some sunshine in 2 days
4:19 am
rubyfoo
it has been very dark
4:20 am
Biltong
Let's hope, Ruby.
4:21 am
rubyfoo
<-- can't wait for Spring!
4:22 am
Biltong
Yes, same here. Had enough of these wet, grey, windy days ... lol
4:23 am
rubyfoo
we are between the lake and the mountains and there is often a dense cloud over the lake but if you go up 1000 ft, there is sunshine
4:23 am
rubyfoo
for me, the wind is the worst and the star-shaped mud pawprints of my pups
4:26 am
Lorrie_in_SA
Hey there, Biltong :) 31 degrees here today and sunny... Feeling homesick? LOL
4:26 am
Biltong
The wind and the rain is the worst. I can still put up with the grey skies and low temperatures.
4:27 am
rubyfoo
lucky Lorrie!
4:28 am
Biltong
Hello Lorrie! Sooooo homesick! lol
4:28 am
Lorrie_in_SA
It is actually a little too humid for me, but the sun is shining, so all forgiven :)
4:30 am
Biltong
ALL is forgiven when the sun shines, lol.
4:30 am
rubyfoo
I think we've had one sunny day in the last 2 months
4:32 am
Biltong
Ruby, seems your weather is worse than ours here in the U.K.?
4:32 am
rubyfoo
different and more different each year. We had a lot more snow 15 yrs ago, when we arrived
4:33 am
rubyfoo
the only bad thing is windstorms which have to do with the lake and being in this long valley, like a wind tunnel
4:33 am
Biltong
What I wouldn't give to just hang up my washing outside in the sunshine "sigh".
4:34 am
rubyfoo
off to lunch now, see you later
4:34 am
Biltong
Bye, Ruby. Enjoy your lunch :)
4:34 am
zoozzoom
Bye, Ruby.
4:36 am
Biltong
Clue for the sc8/45 please? Just can't see it.

Hello, Kate!
4:37 am
Kateq
oops--that's the 8/55
4:39 am
Lorrie_in_SA

4:39 am

Take care, Biltong.

good afternoon all... Haz told me I am in the grid today :)
5:54 am
Anniebrook

5:55 am
sprite
awww that is lovely. Good combination :) Hi Annie :)
5:55 am
Anniebrook
I thought so also
5:55 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Sp5 & Annie!
5:56 am
Anniebrook
Hi zooz :)
5:56 am
zoozzoom
Lovely grid so far.
5:56 am
Anniebrook
I've been up since 4:30AM, couldnt sleep
5:56 am

Not good, Sorry to hea4 that, Annie.
5:57 am
Anniebrook
thanks, guys
6:04 am
sprite
we are celebrating my daughter's birthday today (tomorrow being the actual date). She is 15! I am kind of mystified about what happened in between her being a little girl and her being almost grown up.
6:04 am
Anniebrook
How lovely, Happy Birthday!!
6:05 am
Anniebrook
Have you planned anything special?
6:05 am
zoozzoom
Save a piece of cake for us babblers..lol
6:06 am
sprite
actually, she did, lol. Since she had her birthday in a weekend, she wanted to have her friends sleeping over tonight. So this morning we did breakfast, with presents. And tonight her friends come and they will be watching movies and giggling and talking all night. And eating. And having a fire in the garden to roast their marshmellows over.
6:06 am
smores
hey everyone (yawn)
6:06 am
sprite
will do zooz :D
6:07 am
sprite
hi smores, good morning to you
6:07 am
Anniebrook
nice party and hi smores
6:07 am
zoozzoom
Sounds like it will be a great day/evening for her.
6:07 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Smores.
6:07 am
smores
lol...teenage girls is why I'm yawning
6:08 am
sprite
I think and hope so too, zooz.
6:08 am
sprite
ah, grin. Yeah, they will be little zombies tomorrow morning. And moody to boot. But content, I think.
6:08 am
smores
was up until after 4am...then a cat just woke me up
6:08 am
sprite
ouch smores.
6:09 am
Anniebrook
not much sleep for you, smores
6:09 am
sprite
on a side note: Haz has put a warning in her profile about the JC imposter(s). A very good head's up.
6:09 am
smores
sadly no...
6:10 am
Anniebrook
Yes, I read it in her profile. Babblers should re4 it.
6:10 am
smores
I read that the other day..I think, is this new?
6:11 am
sprite
I agree. No, it is not new, but she updated it with a few more details
6:11 am
zoozzoom
Yes i did see it..i also checked out the archive dates she suggested about someone called lemoned i think.
6:11 am
smores
I'll check it out again later
6:11 am
Anniebrook
I think it all stems from a babbler called MikeyinBerlin
6:12 am
sprite
yep, she thinks LEMONed might have been the first JC. Or someone like him.
6:12 am
rubyfoo
{{annie}} are you still here
6:12 am
Anniebrook
yes, ruby, I am
6:12 am
rubyfoo
and {{sp****}} in the grid
6:12 am
sprite
basically, if we steer clear from real drama queens, we should be ok ;)
6:13 am
zoozzoom
Sad as it seems.. best to always air on the side of caution when it comes to the internet.
6:13 am
sprite
hello ruby *hug* Waiting for your email... whenever you have time and energy, hun.
6:13 am
Anniebrook
good advice, sprite
6:14 am
Anniebrook
ruby, are you keeping warm?
6:14 am
zoozzoom
Although i did send money via babble to a babbler whos husband had died...the money was for flowers.
6:14 am
zoozzoom
Not jusy me may i add.
6:15 am
sprite
zooz, that all went fine. That was for Jellen and she got flowers, and a sweet cuddly bear, and the rest of the money in a voucher.
6:15 am
rubyfoo
and I'm not a drama queen? or at least drama princess? lol
6:15 am
zoozzoom
Thats right, Sprite.
6:15 am
zoozzoom
LOL Ruby.
6:15 am
smores
just read back...I knew you were in the grid sp5, but your dog is also? That's funny...what's his name?
6:16 am
Anniebrook
((RUBY)) you are royalty.
6:16 am
rubyfoo
I saw sp**** but missed te***
6:16 am
sprite
ruby, a real drama queen doesn't know when to stop, details about their personal life tend to become more and more incredible, and this JC person also became vicious at the slightest sign of critic.
6:17 am
sprite
smores: te5/10 is our dog. As in cotta.
6:17 am
Anniebrook
when monies were sent to mrp, the money went awry. that cured me about sending money unless i am absolutely sure it will end up where it is supposed to go.
6:17 am
rubyfoo
I missed the whole |JC| thing but was aware of NancyBoy (shared the name) and never liked him.....
6:17 am
sprite
yeah, that was the same guy.
6:17 am
rubyfoo
yes, Lisa Juarez in Austin was blamed, bu I think mrp was a fabulist or worse!
6:18 am
smores
lol...I have that sprite...didn't know it was your dogs' name though
6:18 am
Anniebrook
ruby, I agree, I agree.
6:19 am
rubyfoo
one night, many of us sat up with mrp, as she was being "attacked" or something and was threatening suicide. Nuts!!!!
6:19 am
smores
I missed all of this, which is fine by me
6:19 am
sprite
it kind of depends, for me. Who organises it, for instance, and through which medium. There was this well organised site that was used for Jellen and someone trustworthy was doing the organisation, and it went perfectly. I didn't chip in for mrP.
6:19 am
rubyfoo
lucky smores
6:20 am
rubyfoo
we all knew jellen and went through the whole awful fast demise of Tim, her fiancee, but that was different. She never behaved dramatically; it was just very sad
6:20 am
sprite
smores, you missed nothing, grin
6:20 am
rubyfoo
many of us were taken in by NB and by mrp
6:21 am
sprite
Jellen never made it into a drama. Though it was very tragic. I think we did well as a community there.
6:21 am
zoozzoom
Well i can't talk as i too threatened to commit suicide on here..thank goodness i am over that now.
6:21 am
smores
That is sad about Jellen, how long ago was this?
6:22 am
smores
aww..zooz {hugs}
6:22 am
rubyfoo
I remember that zoozz; but we loved you and you NEVER overdramatized; we just felt your sadness and despair
6:22 am
sprite
zooz, that was not being dramatic. That was real and true and we needed to be there for you.
6:22 am
Anniebrook
((Zooz)) past history and finished.
6:22 am
zoozzoom
So is mrp fake then?
6:22 am
sprite
a couple of years already, smores. Time flies.
6:22 am
rubyfoo
I think she's a crazy lady
6:23 am
sprite
no, mrP is a real person. Just very dramatic about her life.
6:23 am
zoozzoom
And i was and still am very greatful for you all being there when i was crying for help.
6:23 am
rubyfoo
and zoozz gives great cluez
6:23 am
smores
really, I thought mrp was a guy
6:23 am
rubyfoo
this group has helped me through some nsty sh**
6:23 am
zoozzoom
No mrp is a female.
6:23 am
sprite
*hugs zooz* You are a beautiful person, zooz, and we are lucky to have you as part of this community.
6:24 am
hurshy
lickety's wife
6:24 am
smores
oh ruby, before I forget, I sent you an email
6:24 am
Anniebrook
I agree with sprite.
6:24 am
rubyfoo
I've only had one person, in all this time, mock me when things got out of hand around here
6:24 am
rubyfoo
and I answered, smores
6:25 am
smores
shame on them
6:25 am
sprite
as internet communities go, ruby, that is about as close to heaven as it gets.
6:25 am
rubyfoo
NB, however, said that when my husband was attacked by the awful dog, it was not the dog's fault!
6:26 am
sprite
hiya hursh!
6:26 am
rubyfoo
sprite and I have angel-dogs, te*** and ruby and rufie
6:26 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Hurshy.
6:26 am
rubyfoo
there are truly bad dogs and once they taste human flesh, they should be put down, no matter why they are "bad"
6:27 am
sprite
well, I must say I do blame the owners and not the dog. Too bad there is a law about putting down bad owners.
6:27 am
sprite
against, not about. Sorry.
6:27 am
smores
ok, I'll check later
6:27 am
hurshy
hi, did most of the grid in the night during insomnia
6:28 am
rubyfoo
hurshy needs insomnia cures!
6:28 am
sprite
poor hursh :( It stinks not being able to sleep.
6:28 am
zoozzoom
Oh dear..another babbler who cannot sleep at night.
6:28 am
hurshy
oh well, at least it's saturday!
6:28 am
smores
lol....there seems to be alot of us
6:28 am
sprite
yeah we have loads of them. Insomniacs I mean. Which is sad, but also a bit happy because we always find good company here.
6:29 am
rubyfoo
it depends. If you have the dog from the beginning, it's one thing. But the dog that attacked my husband was a beautiful beauceron but was in a pound until he was 5 and then was adopted. I wonder 1) why he had been put in the pound and 2) why he wasn't under control in the road
6:29 am
sprite
hi medusa :)
6:29 am
medusa
i have sleep problems too!
6:29 am
rubyfoo
<-- loves Xanax, removes sleep problems
6:29 am
Anniebrook
hi medusa, you are not alone here
6:29 am
hurshy
i think insomnia is under-researched.
6:29 am
zoozzoom
Hurshy..i asked at the chemist for zinc lozenges..but they only had zinc-ace tablets..so went for that as no alternatives were available.
6:30 am
smores
I agree ruby, although I also agree with sprite, it is usually the owners fault
6:30 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Medusa.
6:30 am
hurshy
are they chalkY zoom? are they meant to be taken daily or as needed?
6:30 am
rubyfoo
everybody should keep a copy of Moby Dick next to the bed!
6:30 am
sprite
dogs must be well-bred, well-socialed and well-raised. Only humans can do that for them. So we should.
6:31 am
hurshy
good idea ruby
6:31 am
sprite
or the bible in old english.
6:31 am
zoozzoom
They do look chalky & yes they are daily..by a company called Wassen.
6:31 am
rubyfoo
when I googled beaucerons, it said that their early socialization was absolutely critical and that they did not make good house pets. The Nazis used them to guard the camps!
6:31 am
hurshy
but you just swallow them?
6:32 am
zoozzoom
Yes i'm afraid so :-(
6:32 am
hurshy
ah well maybe you can try other chemists. something about the zinc getting absorbed right into the throat, has always seemed to me to make the difference.
6:33 am
MimiCat
Morning, all!
6:33 am
sprite
that is hardly the dogs' fault, though. One can use dogs for very evil things, but still it is the humans that are to blame.
6:33 am
sprite
hi Mimi :D
6:33 am
zoozzoom
I will try..but this was from boots the biggest chemist on the island.
6:33 am
Anniebrook
hi Mimi
6:33 am
MimiCat
Hi, Annie and Medusa!
6:34 am
zoozzoom
wonder if a health shop like holland & barret would do them.
6:34 am
hurshy
order online? http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod\n.asp?pid=34714&catid=184155&aid=338666\n&aparam=goobase_filler
6:34 am
rubyfoo
the beauceron is still alive but his owner has met his maker (unless he's in the pound) lol
6:34 am
hurshy
yeah health shops might be good to try
6:34 am
sprite
zooz, you may try the internet. I don't know what you need, but ordering online is a great way to go nowadays.
6:34 am
sprite
pounds for bad owners... I might go for that :)
6:35 am
zoozzoom
I will try your link, Hurshy.
6:35 am
MimiCat
I cannot tolerate people who do not take care of their precious animals.
6:35 am
rubyfoo
finally quashed the q's, took me al day
6:35 am
medusa
like the sound of pounds for bad owners.
6:35 am
MimiCat
My friends tell me they want to be reincarnated as my pets!
6:36 am
rubyfoo
time for a lie-down and the NYT puzzle
6:36 am
rubyfoo
lovely to see all of my babble friends!!!!
6:36 am
sprite
uh-oh, hurshy didn't tinyURL and messed up the grid...
Zooz, you will need to remove some stuff from that link for it to work. Back-slash and letter.
6:36 am
MimiCat
Bye, ruby!
6:36 am
sprite
bye ruby. Still need one Q here.
6:36 am
Anniebrook
enjoy the paper and your rest, bye ((ruby))
6:36 am
medusa
or maybe they should be shut in a room with the animals they have misstreated and have the animals turn on them
6:36 am
smores
had to let the silly cat back in
6:36 am
rubyfoo
Ruby gets 1 1/2 hr massages every night and I think it's helping her. It would help me, too, but it's not happening!!!!
6:37 am
sprite
medusa... I would be sorry for the animals to have to become vicious. But I agree on principle :)
6:37 am
smores
Hey Mimi :)
6:37 am
rubyfoo
<-- loves silly cats and dopy dogs!
6:37 am
medusa
thats was my point sprite. i dont wish any animal to be nasty
6:38 am
smores
yes, just wish he had woke the girls up instead of me :)
6:38 am
medusa
i have 4 silly cats who are now settling down after running riot!
6:38 am
rubyfoo
but once a dog has gone rogue, you can never really trust it again, especially if it's very large
6:38 am
sprite
indeed, medusa. So sad. And maybe even worse when they don't become nasty, but so totally withdrawn and scared.
6:38 am
MimiCat
It's the "Mom" thing, smores. Once we become mothers we wake up at every little sound.
6:39 am
sprite
ruby, for a dog that has ea5 human flesh, certainly. No way to rehabilitate then.
6:39 am
Anniebrook
Bad owners should be put down
6:39 am
rubyfoo
the beauceron took my husband right down then bit him, swallowed what he bit off, and re-attacked. A dog like that should have been put down immediately! there is no possible rehab for an animal like that
6:39 am
medusa
that is heart breaking sprite. i hate that. makes me so angry!
6:39 am
MimiCat
Oooooh---change of subject?!
6:39 am
sprite
Mimi, lol! You know, I always did. But my husband slept through everything. Until we had a baby. Since then, he is a light sleeper.
6:40 am
smores
definately not ruby
6:40 am
sprite
me too, medusa! I sometimes watch a show about pet rescuers and I just know I couldn't do that work. I would be in prison within a week for certain.
6:40 am
medusa
hope he is ok now ruby
6:40 am
rubyfoo
yesterday, I totally grossed out rows by talking abut eating snails....bad me!
6:40 am
medusa
lol. i have said that so many times sprite!
6:40 am
smores
bye dear...enjoy your day
6:40 am
MimiCat
It's only 5:40 in the morning here and too early for heavy discussion!
6:41 am
Anniebrook
ooh, I love snails, the butter and garlic sauce, yum
6:41 am
rubyfoo
he has gone downhill ever since, medusa, it was just too much for him
6:41 am
MimiCat
Ruby, you know your "woof" was in the grid yesterday.
6:41 am
rubyfoo
was warp there, too?
6:41 am
sprite
:) medusa... well ok, we will do it if we can be cell mates then ;)
6:42 am
sprite
eating snails... nah, not for me. Chicken. I can eat chicken. Or salmon. Smoked.
6:42 am
rubyfoo
Rows has kept them as pets! I once tried to cook them, starting with live ones. NOT to be recommended because it['s a disgusting process, purging snails
6:42 am
medusa
im up for that. my next door neighbour punch her neighbour not too long ago coz he kicked her dog! i laughed when she said she punched him in the face!
6:43 am
smores
yuck...I have had them but never tr5 to fix them
6:43 am
MimiCat
I would have aimed lower, medusa.....
6:43 am
sprite
very well done. No kicking dogs unless one is attacking a child.
6:43 am
medusa
i could not do that ruby but i have never tried snails and will try anything if i dont know what it is first
6:43 am
zoozzoom
Hurshy that link did not work..so i just goolged them instead..lol
6:44 am
MimiCat
Medusa, I'm starting "The Vampire Diaries" on my Netflix today...looking forward to it.
6:44 am
sprite
have tried mussles, snails, brains, tr5, kidneys, liver. And let me tell you, I didn't like a single one of those.
6:44 am
sprite
told ya, zooz, lollll
6:45 am
zoozzoom
I am not keen on offal.
6:45 am
medusa
they are gorgeous little things. she has 4 and 1 is a lively lil guy. she has a yorkie, 2 shi tsus abd a jack russel. the jack russel is only about a year ld and a real live wire!
6:45 am
MimiCat
When I know the function of certain organs, I just can't imagine they'd be good for us to eat.....
6:45 am
sprite
aw sound great, medusa
6:45 am
medusa
cool! seen a couple of them but could not get into it mimi
6:45 am
zoozzoom
Oh sorry, Spritey..i must of missed that bit.
6:46 am
medusa
they are so sweet. i am not a big lover of yorkies but thi lil one makes a bline for me when he sees me and is so sweet.
6:46 am
sprite
no problem, zooz, I had hoped to save you from a hunt, but you were already off to the browser. *hug*
6:46 am
MimiCat
I had a yorkie wen I was young....dumbest dog I ever saw.
6:47 am
sprite
the funny thing for me is, some breeds of dogs don't appeal to me at all. But mostly when I get to know an individual from such a breed, I love him or her anyway.
6:47 am
zoozzoom
Ok 58 left must go and get something to eat..but before i go may i have the stats for the bottom right 'P' please?
6:47 am
MimiCat
Sweet but stupid.
6:47 am
medusa
lol mimi. i would never hurt 1 bu just would never own 1
6:48 am
sprite
Mimi, the dog at the therapy farm is a total doofus too. He had two balls yesterday. I almost pe4 myself. He was so funny, trying to keep both close.
6:48 am
MimiCat
I don't even kill a cricket if it gets into the house...catch it and put it outside!
6:48 am
smores
zooz try the brand name Cold-eeze or ZiCam
6:48 am
zoozzoom
Will do, Smores..thank you.
6:48 am
medusa
i do that mimi. love crickets
6:48 am
sprite
me too, Mimi. Same with spiders. Only wasps... I warn them once. Tell them to get out or they will become very flat wasps. If they don't listen, they do.
6:49 am
zoozzoom
Ok bye for now, all.
6:49 am

bye zooz, have a lovely day!

bye, zooz, have a joyful day
6:49 am
MimiCat
I just don't like the idea of killing anything...but must kill the little ants...too fast and too many to catch!
6:49 am

I never cared much for most toy or small breed dogs, but certainly couldn't hurt one
6:49 am

hi Biltong
6:49 am

Bye zooz :)
6:50 am
zoozzoom
ahh thank you, Biltong..very greatful.

MimiCat
I think it's all the way you raise them....must start when they are very young with any breed and then bring them up to fit your lifestyle.
6:52 am
Biltong
Not too bad sprite, thank you. Up and down. How are things with you?
6:52 am
sprite

Biltong
That's good to hear sprite. Mostly down for me at the moment, but I know things will improve :)
6:53 am
smores

6:53 am
sprite
Atalante told me to get a KCC spaniel, back when we were in the process of deciding. And she was perfectly right.
6:54 am
Biltong
Hi ivesy :)
6:54 am
sprite
Biltong: sending up-ping vibes your way!
6:54 am
MimiCat
My shepherd was a 100-pound lap dog....miss her every day and it has been 7 years....Nah, no dogs for me in an apt., smores....and I live on the second floor.
6:54 am
medusa
they are sweet. have known a few of them. i love all spaniels though. gorgeous dogs.
6:54 am
MimiCat
My cats would have heart attacks!
6:54 am
Biltong
Thank you :)
6:55 am
smores
lol..poms, peeks, pugs, poodles....pooey
6:55 am
medusa
i think mine would now! they are all indoor cats
6:55 am
MimiCat
But what do you REALLY think, smores?!!!
6:56 am
sprite
spaniels are so lovable. Always happy, just as much game for a long walk as for a lazy nap, and funny and silly.
6:56 am
sprite
lol smores
6:56 am
medusa
and veryregal looking
6:57 am
MimiCat
You just described me, sprite!
6:57 am
sprite
hm... not Te5, lol. Although he has his moments, some even captured. But mostly he does his best to become as dirty as possible.
6:57 am
sprite
Mimi, I just knew you were a great breed :)
6:57 am
smores
left out dauchands, mini pinschers, chihauhaus
6:57 am
MimiCat
And I do so love being scratched behind the ears......
6:58 am
MimiCat
ROFL, smores.
6:58 am
sprite
chihuahua's... sorry... don't want to offend anybody... but those are no dogs.
6:58 am
smores
I know...right :)
6:58 am
medusa
i think thats just dogs though. i had a greyhound a few years ago and she was a nightmare! always running through puddles. they are thick dogs!
6:58 am
sprite
stop kicking me with your hind leg when I do that, Mimi.
6:58 am
ivesy3
ok ty medusa.. mine still wont load. even restarted comp. and all other site work so have no clue lol
6:58 am
MimiCat
LOL, sprite.
6:59 am
medusa
facebook is just a pain!
6:59 am
sprite
frustrating, ivesy :(
Did you clean out the cache? Force-refreshed?
6:59 am
MimiCat
My best friend had a chihuahua for years and it would just turn around and bite them for no reason....would have to send that dog to doggie heaven....ridiculous.
7:00 am
smores
spaniels, shelties, and Jack Russels are the only under 50 pound dogs I would have
7:00 am
MimiCat
I've raised tigers and lions and I was scared of that dog!
7:00 am
medusa
thats why i am not a fan of little dogs really. i prefer bigger dogs
7:00 am
medusa
but you raised the cats properly so they respected you!
7:01 am
smores
lol...a chihuahua is the only dog I have ever kicked
7:01 am
sprite
same for me, smores. Jack Russells are fun too, if you have the character and time to raise them well and keep them challenged. Smart dogs that will become a pain in da butt when they get bored.
7:01 am
MimiCat
We had a woman living in my apt. complex who had a one-bedroom apt. and had a Great Dane!!! Always wondered how on earth she kept anything on a table...the tail would wipe out everything, right?!
7:01 am
ivesy3
ar 5/12 plz
7:02 am
sprite
right Mimi. Lol, so does Te5's tail, for the lower table. He waves it so energetically that the wind blows all papers down.
7:02 am
MimiCat
Keeping a dog that big in a small apt. is almost like keeping it caged, I think.
7:02 am
medusa
have had jack russels smores. they are great dogs but so lively and can be destructive if you dont be firm with them. i was too soft!
7:02 am
sprite
unless she walks it really really well and often, Mimi, indeed.
7:02 am
medusa
i agree mimi
7:03 am
sprite
don't have it yet, ivesy, will try and help find it though
7:03 am
smores
Yes, I had the problem with a mal-wolf mix...very smart and got bored easy...but we worked it out and she was an awesome dog
7:03 am

Anniebrook

7:04 am
sprite
I love wolf-like dogs, but I only would take one if I lived on a farm or in a wood.
7:05 am
medusa
i thing a dog like that would need alot of space
7:05 am
sprite
and Biltong too
7:05 am
Biltong
yw, sprite
7:05 am
medusa
thanks biltong
7:06 am

7:06 am
smores
I've had 3 wolf mix,4 if you count the one I have now...but she has very little wolf in her...all wonderful
7:06 am
MimiCat
Although my shepherd preferred to be inside and always near me. When I would leave on an errand, she would get up on whatever I had been sitting on and stay there until I got back so she could "smell me" while I was gone.
7:06 am
ivesy3
ty finally got it. now the ar 5/10 the last one plz.
7:07 am
sprite

7:07 am
sprite
yay ivesy!
7:07 am
MimiCat
Naturally protective, too. When I would answer the door to a stranger, she would get in front of me and stare at the person as if to say "Touch my mommy and I'll eat your face."
7:07 am
Biltong
sorry, don't have that one yet
7:08 am
MimiCat
My baby only made it to age 7-----lymphoma.
7:08 am
medusa
mine was like that mimi. he went nuts when someone knocked at the door but would like them to death if the came in!
7:08 am
Biltong
Oh no, Mimi, how sad.
7:08 am
MimiCat
At least she had a wonderful life filled with love.
7:09 am
medusa
that is sad mimi
7:09 am
MimiCat
OK---change subject...starting to cry....
7:09 am
smores
soooo...who likes chocolate cheesecake?
7:09 am
sprite

7:10 am
medusa
i just love cheesecake whatever the flavour!
7:10 am
sprite
nope. But I love chocolate and I love most other cheesecakes. Bring 'm on!
7:10 am
MimiCat
Her spirit sent me the first of my 3 stray cats.....just know it.

Celery. Carrots. Salad. Water. There you go, Mimi. *Slinks back to her cheesecake, chocolate and fries*
7:11 am
MimiCat
Yes, this particular cat is just incredible---he looks at me and I just know he has an old soul.
7:12 am

7:20 am
sprite
hiya kitty cat. Nice to makeyour acquaintance.
7:20 am
medusa

7:20 am
MimiCat
Pywakit says ditto, sprite.
7:20 am
smores
give him a ear rub from me Mimi
7:21 am
MimiCat
When I pet him he looks up at me so adoringly like I'm the most wonderful creature on the planet...too bad I couldn't have found a man even close to that!
7:21 am
sprite
ah, second sc8, related to first. Nice.
7:22 am
MimiCat
He says thank you, smores!
7:22 am
smores

7:24 am
Biltong
BBL. Happy babbling everyone :)
7:24 am

Bye, Biltong!

bye Biltong, have a good day
7:25 am
sprite
smores, thanks for the offer, still happily plodding along here.
7:25 am
medusa
ttfn biltong
7:25 am
smores
Bye biltong ...enjoy your day
7:26 am
smores
yw sprite....I don't like to get clues for a whle either
7:28 am
smores
But I had to ask on a couple of them earlier ...lol
7:28 am
sprite
I probably will need clues later on too :)
7:29 am
smores
I was on here in the middle of the night
7:29 am
MimiCat
I know I'm weird but I don't use clues much or lists...feels like cheating somehow. Of course, I never get fireworks either....but I'm good with that. I just enjoy the ones I do get.
7:30 am
MimiCat
Isn't it nice to know people are here whenever, smores? I did that the night my cat got out and it was comforting having people here.
7:30 am
smores
I use them :)
7:30 am
MollyL
I think it's a lot more fun to find words on your own. There is a lot more cluing here than there used to be.
7:30 am
MimiCat
Actually, I'm just too lazy to put that much effort into it!
7:31 am
sprite
as Atalante said to me when I joined this game: looking up the actual words is cheating. All the rest is research :)
I usually use the clues that I see in chog, I don't use the list much, but I look for word patterns in a2z when I get stuck. Everybody to his or her own taste :)
7:31 am
medusa
i have ocd so if i dont finish a grid i feel like i have failed
7:31 am
MimiCat
Hi, Molly!!
7:31 am
smores
yes it is Mimi, although I would've liked to have slept
7:31 am
medusa
sleep is good!
7:31 am
MimiCat
Yep---room for everyone!
7:32 am
sprite
tsk, silly Babblers. Slept is a phantom today. Whaddaya expect.
7:32 am
MimiCat
I know, smores...what was keeping you up (if you want to share)?
7:32 am
smores
:) sprite...it was sure a phantom for me
7:32 am
sprite
so is sleep, btw.
7:32 am
MimiCat
LOL, smores.
7:33 am
smores
I don't sleep alot anyway, then my girls were being loud
7:34 am
sprite
lol smores... I take it you don't mean your breasts,.
7:34 am
MimiCat
I've always been a bit of an insomniac.
7:34 am
MimiCat
Funny, sprite!
7:35 am
smores
no, they're usually qu5
7:35 am
MimiCat
You're just all kind of sassy today, sprite!! Love that!
7:35 am
MimiCat
Mine are so quiet these days they're practically deceased.
7:36 am
lbdawger
gm, everyone! stats for the lone I and the P both 5th column?
7:36 am
sprite
mine are travelling a lot. South.
7:36 am
MimiCat
Sprite, it's wonderful that you can totally get humor in a language not native to you....you're better than a lot of Americans.
7:37 am
sprite
hiya dawg :)
7:37 am
lbdawger
hiya sprite!
7:37 am
MimiCat
Yep, gravity is no longer MY friend...everything headed south. Gonna start walking on my hands so I'll get great boobs and no ass.
7:37 am
sprite
thanks Mimi. I love english. It is a great language.
7:37 am
smores
Finally got to sleep around 4ish, cat woke me up about 7am
7:37 am
lbdawger
hey there medusa
7:38 am
smores
Well, since I'm obviously not going back to sleep, I am off to make coffee...BRB
7:38 am
MimiCat
My cats like to run "road races" around the apt. in the middle of the night...then, of course, sometimes set off the gong....wonder what the neighbors think.
7:39 am
Lizlin
Hi all - just here for a short while. Been out most of today - all morning back after lunch, then again this evening and we just got back and it's nearly midnight. Not a hope of finishing the grid but I wanted to say hi!
7:40 am
medusa
mine to mimi. they just finished a race too! i have laminate flooring so they have problems stopping. lol
7:40 am
sprite
hiya Liz :)
7:40 am
MimiCat
Oh, no! Did you ever watch "Mad About You," medusa? The dog Murray used to crash into the walls....it was funny, though. You never saw him crash, just heard him.
7:41 am
Lizlin
It's always good to see so many friends here - I was spreading the babble word this evening!
7:41 am
MimiCat
Yep, the grid is incidental to me now, Liz....I'm here for the friends! Love this community.
7:42 am
Lizlin
Know what you mean but I also still enjoy the grid very much - but I like the people I chat to :)
7:42 am
sprite
I love both
7:42 am
MimiCat
I enjoy the grid but have no ambition....just get the ones I can and that's it.
7:42 am
medusa
me too sprite
7:43 am
Lizlin
I'm too competitive for my own good! But also accept that there are times, when I just won't finish!
7:43 am
MimiCat
Wow--I'm starting to get a contact high from the marijuana wafting up into my apt. At least the people down there are quiet.
7:43 am
medusa
i never saw that mimi but thats all i get from the cats, the crash as they hit a wall or cupboard door or something. i do sit here and giggle to myself
7:43 am
MollyL
That is interesting Liz. I don't consider this a competitive game.
7:44 am
sprite
I played for a little while yesterday evening, chog wasn't much fun because people were doing endless lists of stats, even though there was a list. And I was too tired. Stopped after a 50 words already and went to bed.
7:44 am
sprite
hi Molly. One can compete with oneself, though.
7:45 am
MimiCat
I compete with myself, sprite....fortunately, I'm easy to beat!
7:45 am
Lizlin
I mean competitive with myself! I certainly don't try to compete with others!
7:45 am
sprite
lol Mimi, same here.
7:45 am
medusa
thats what i do sprite and its a pain! i go too far sometimes and feel bad about it
7:46 am
sprite
*hugs medusa*
7:46 am
smores
back with a strong cup of coffee
7:46 am
lbdawger
<- giggling at the chat. compete with self. others would leave me bludgeoned and bleeding!
7:46 am
MollyL
When it's yourself, I see it more as challenge than competition. And I agree about chat when it's endless lists of stats, it's not much fun.
7:46 am
MimiCat
I compete with myself and talk to myself....it's comforting being schizo because you're always entertained and never alone........
7:46 am
medusa
thanks. thats odc for ya! lol
7:46 am
Lizlin
I know I can rarely complete a grid without using the dictionary but I go as far as I can without a list and only use a dictionary at the last possible time. But I try to get more each time! That's what I meant!
7:47 am
Lizlin
to begin with I wouldn't use a dictionary but now I see it as a means to try to learn new words!
7:47 am
smores
lol...yay for ocd and schizo
7:47 am
MollyL
I think that is a fun way to do the grids Liz. : )
7:48 am
Lizlin
If only I could remember more of them!!!!!
7:48 am
MimiCat
Hey, smores, was watching the new "House of Cards" on Netflix last night....good series...13 episodes right now and all there...you'll like it. Don't forget "Outrageous Fortune" as well....great.
7:48 am
sprite
yep, same for me, Liz, exactly.
7:48 am
lbdawger
i don't chat as much...sometimes i just don't get what's being talked about...and too lazy to go into the archives to catch up.
7:49 am
medusa
just got 8 letter no. 6
7:49 am
Lizlin
Funny, I read back in the chog on my iPad in the morning to see what's been going on in babble land while I've been asleep! Sad, huh?
7:49 am
sprite
dawg is one of the old crew, just like me. Remember, when a whole day of chog would be 7 entries or less? :)
7:49 am
sprite
woot medusa!
7:49 am
MimiCat
I hate endless chat about the weather....what's up with that?
7:50 am
sprite
most weather is up. Unless it comes down. Then it is bad weather.
7:50 am
MimiCat
Maybe it's because we don't HAVE weather in Phoenix.
7:50 am
lbdawger
yeah, but i remember the times of old when stid would tell us storytime, and we played a lot in the PB.
7:50 am
smores
I click on the "who's online" tab so I don't see clues sometimes...especially when I'm just starting and there the clues are flying..
7:50 am
MimiCat
ROFL, sprite...you are on a roll!!!
7:50 am
Lizlin
I've also done that smokes :)
7:51 am
MimiCat
Oh, you want stories, dawg? I've GOT stories!!!
7:51 am
sprite
aw yes, we played around a lot then.
7:51 am
smores
hmmm...don't remember typing the word "there"
7:51 am
smores
lol..np liz...I think last time I was snores
7:52 am
sprite
snores would be good... you should be snores at night and smores in the day.
7:52 am
smores
funny, I do both :)
7:52 am
lbdawger
stid would make up stories, they were fun to re4. and the puns..oh dear, many a time i nearly hurt myself laughing
7:52 am
MimiCat
The cats are taking turns getting in my lap....gotta go take a Benadryl....did I mention I'm allergic to cats?
7:52 am
Lizlin
Chog moves so fast sometimes that I hit enter without checking!
7:52 am
smores
ahhh..in a perfect world sprite
7:52 am
sprite
hahaha, Liz, me too
7:52 am
MimiCat
Nah, she can't be snores----she doesn't sleep.
7:53 am
smores
Or at least a child/cat free one...lol
7:53 am
Lizlin
Except when she does!
7:53 am
lbdawger

When I went to get coffee I past the girls room and thought how fun it would be to run in there banging pans...mwhahaha
7:54 am
smores
Bye Dawg...have a great day :)
7:55 am
Lizlin
Can't type straight, can't see words - probably time to give up for tonight. Enjoy your days. Hope to see you tomorrow sometime :)
7:55 am

one of my favorite lines from the Lion King, when Simba calls his parents and dad says: "Our son is awake." And mum says: "Before sunrise he is YOUR son."
7:55 am

Bye Lizlin...sleep well :)
7:55 am
sprite

7:55 am
MimiCat
I get those thoughts about my kids a lot...but I actually want to hit them with the pans.
7:56 am
Lizlin

7:56 am
smores

MimiCat
(Hug, Liz_
7:56 am

me too, smores :)
And Jeremy Irons as the voice of the evil lion... so great.
7:57 am
MimiCat
Made me cry...everything does. My parents used to actually try to distract me when Wonderful World of Disney or Lassie came on TV because they couldn't stand to see me crying.
7:57 am

8:18 am

my daughter wanted to name my cats after twilight characters so they were all renamed. Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie. Princess is the only one that was not renamed
8:19 am

8:21 am
medusa
i did want to call Jas Ziggy coz he has a white stripe across his eye but he got used to his name pretty fast
8:21 am

I don't like fat and skin, either - only get boneless skinless chicken, to the point that our poor daughter couldn't figure out what all the other parts were when she worked at KFC for a few days once, lol
10:41 am

The pureed vegetable gravy is just a mix of pureed cooked vegetables, broth and a little flour to thicken it. It's actually pretty good.
10:42 am

yes, i thought it very tasty. carrots and celery...i don't know if there was onion.

i also get only boneless,skinless chicken breasts for my meals.the other parts of the bird seem to be becoming fattier and fattier to the point where i can no longer do shake and bake chicken because they are so greasy they smoke out the house. a butcher friend tells me this is from chickens that are forced to just sit there and get fat vs free range birds who have more muscle and to always look for leg size of the bird in relation to body size when buying a whole bird as the ones raised in boxes just to get fat will have very small legs in comparison to body weight
10:45 am

Frank is good, lynxxx! He got the snow off our driveway and sidewalks earlier - snowblower, not shovel, but still that's real progress!
6:18 pm
lynxxx
wow Sue - he must be feeling much better in himself, thats great
6:18 pm
uusue2
now we are watching the movie Burlesque on TV - the ABC Family channel has changed since I last had cable
6:18 pm
ChrissieDee
Wprettied
6:18 pm
uusue2
yes, he's pretty much recovered from the surgery, and is doing well with the chemo so far
6:19 pm
ChrissieDee
Sorry !
6:19 pm
uusue2
hi, chrissie :-)
6:19 pm
lynxxx
How long is the course of chemo? and how often?
6:20 pm
ChrissieDee
Hi sue, glad to hear Frank is progressing well
6:20 pm
uusue2
every week for six months, lynxxx
6:20 pm
uusue2
he alternates long and short treatments
6:22 pm
lynxxx
with that routine he can start living a bit more of a normal life, not so disruptive a schedule. Its good.
6:22 pm
uusue2
it is indeed good, lynxxx.
6:24 pm
LeslieAnn
fireworks!
6:24 pm
ChrissieDee
I know we need to be positive, but as I am 4 months along a 6 month corse of weekly chemo I can't even remember a normal life
6:25 pm
lynxxx
Tell him not to expect too much of himself. I found that my reasoning was quite slow even though I was functioning/working OK. When I finished the course, virtually the next day I was back to normal. I called it chemohead.
6:26 pm
lynxxx
Ugh Chrissie - you are obviously having a strong dose. Do you have to travel far as well to have it
6:26 pm
ChrissieDee
When was your treatment lynx and are you ok now?
6:26 pm
lynxxx
Congrats Leslie!
6:28 pm
uusue2
good luck to you, Chrissie! Frank is just over 1/4 of the way through.
6:28 pm
uusue2
and yay leslie!
6:29 pm
ChrissieDee
I'm lucky that the treatment is at mt local hospital about 6 miles away. The cancer unit is in temporary accommodation there while their usual hospital (which is further away) is being refurbised
6:29 pm
lynxxx
Mine was 13 years ago...for serious melanoma, 4 ops, countless CT, 2 PET, 1 chemo, 2 wonderful lifesaving radiotherapy and great specialists and surgeons. But I was still bloody lucky. All clear for 11 years, minimal side effects
6:29 pm
uusue2
ah, we are lucky too, chrissie, the cancer center is right in town here
6:29 pm
ChrissieDee
Wow, well done lynx. So many babblers are cancer survivors!
6:31 pm
ChrissieDee
Crossy is my inspiration
6:31 pm
lynxxx
Thats good Chrissie...I always pity people that also need to travel huge distances. I was even to have the chemo done at home by visiting nurse - which was very cool
6:31 pm
uusue2
mine too, chrissie!
6:32 pm
uusue2
wow, that is really nice to have the chemo at home, lynxxx!
6:36 pm
lynxxx
BBL - off to the local dog wash - Stew is getting a bit woofy if you know what I mean
6:37 pm
uusue2
I know exactly, lynxxx! here's to clean pups!
6:37 pm
ChrissieDee
My cancer is a gift. It brought me and my mum closer before she passed. We were already close, but we told each other how much we loved each other more

6:40 pm
uusue2
she was 50, which seemed a lot older then than it does now...
6:41 pm
ChrissieDee
So sad
6:42 pm
uusue2
it was, thanks Chrissie
6:46 pm

Looks like we've killed the chat, sorry folks :(

I am tired, sue -- it was a rough week.
6:57 pm
stidmama
migraine today, and don't have the energy to prune the trees the way I had hoped.
6:57 pm
uusue2
it is pretty exhausting! I am sorry about the migraine, those must be awful
6:57 pm
stidmama
With luck, it will be dry enough tomorrow still to take care of them, and I will have myself ready enough with lesson planning that I can avoid the computer altogether.
6:58 pm
stidmama
Thanks, sue -- it's not a fun one, but it's mostly causing confusion and nausea rather than the eye problems that really sideline me.
6:58 pm
uusue2
bitter cold here, we are finally getting real January weather now that January is over
6:58 pm
stidmama
I think I am just ti5. How are you doing? I see from earlier that Frank is coping pretty well, are you taking care of yourself, too?
6:59 pm
uusue2
Yes, I'm doing much better as well. I finished both of my big freelance assignments, so that is good!

LOL I am STILL waiting for January weather. Only one day was even a little "dicey" on the roads, no snow at all and that is the one month it's almost guaranteed. I know that we can still get some snow, but I am not worried at this point that it will keep me home.
7:00 pm
stidmama
I am so glad you finished those! Big projects are exhausting I think.

ia + HALF of what you say on halloween
8:21 pm
wht
jmc, I think it is an aquiline nose. An Aquiline nose (also called Roman nose, hook nose or beak nose) is a human nose with a prominent bridge, giving it the appearance of being curved or slightly bent. The word aquiline comes from the Latin word aquilinus ("eagle-like"), a reference to the curved beak of an eagle.
8:21 pm
