hey rose

1:21 am

grannyrose

saw the latest grandson today. he is so beautiful. he slept the whole visit. what a cherub he is! his siblings were capering all around him, and he slept. he only awakes for 1 feed each night, then goes straight back to sleep.

1:21 am

grannyrose

oh, smom, so nice to see you.

1:21 am

sammysmom

sounds like a keeper to me

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

lol ditto that

1:22 am

flosey

hi again, what an angel he is

1:23 am

flosey

William just skyped me, they're trying their darndest to get him onto a proper sleep schedule

1:23 am

grannyrose

hello flosey. and claudia is an absolute girly girl. she was running around in all pink, with a pink "hair extension' in her hair.

1:23 am

flosey

how lovely

1:25 am

grannyrose

did you see that deacon is doing a 'marathon' to fund raise for his school? i am so proud of him...and as usual, granny rose gots heaps of cuddles...lol...i think it might be 'purse' love as i am sponsoring him.

1:26 am

grannyrose

braxton seems to be a mix of his own...not his daddy or his mummy.

1:26 am

flosey

lol, whatever it takes, those hugs are prescious

1:27 am

grannyrose

yeah, flosey...they are so lovely.

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

be interesting to hear if that changes as he gets older, looking more like one parent over the other

1:28 am

flosey

it is interesting, how they change

1:28 am

flosey

William is most like his dad

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

our daughter should di

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

that was supposed to say, "our daughter sure did" (change)

1:38 am

grannyrose

dee, when he was born, braxton looked like his older half-brother. which leads me to think he may look more like his mum than dad.

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

could be.. our daughter was born with dark, almost black hair; then it fell out and grew in blonde. Her bone structure seemed to be like my mom and me, but she has her dad's eyes... so fun to watch them change

1:43 am

grannyrose

lolol....so true. my second, braxton's daddy, had nordic blond curls as a toddler, nowadays, he is quite brown...but if he stays out in the sun a lot...the tips go blond.

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

so interesting

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

finally fireworks... so tired... couldn't think straight

1:45 am

grannyrose

the youngest son, however...he goes auburn in the sun...almost black before that

1:45 am

grannyrose

WTG DEE!!!

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

ty

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

where does the red come from?

1:45 am

grannyrose

hope you sleep well, dear. and awake refreshed.

1:46 am

grannyrose

lolol...no idea!!

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

ty rose... off to "find" my pillow

1:46 am

grannyrose

but we did look at the milkman VERY intently at the time of his birth.

1:46 am

rururocks

2:32 am

grannyrose

pugs, do you think ruru would like those pics?

2:32 am

puglet

I dont see why not--He likes a laugh

2:33 am

grannyrose

okay, ruru? am sending you some pics now...

2:33 am

puglet

but they are kind of sad too in a way, are they not?

2:36 am

grannyrose

pugs? i kinda think about the ingenuity of the people shown. it is sad in that they have to innovate.

2:37 am

puglet

Thats how I felt too---

2:42 am

puglet

I see I missed Flosey, is she feeling better?

2:43 am

grannyrose

puglet

I read where you got lots of hugs and got to hold that new baby! Bet hes getting big too

3:15 am

rubyfoo

cu** jack, sorry about Team New Wealand's loss!

3:17 am

Jackanory

I'm in Motueka, top of south island near Nelson

3:17 am

sandyloo

he had a touch of laminitus but is better - it was my fault for not locking hm up but it was so wet and stormy I got lazy - I felt very bad

3:17 am

Jackanory

Thanks puglet and ruby. That's Nina our abyssinian

3:18 am

grannyrose

ahhh, didn't visit there last time...maybe next time? would love to meet with you.

3:18 am

sandyloo

I have never been to new zealand but I hear its sooo beautiful

3:18 am

rubyfoo

my grandma's name!

3:18 am

Jackanory

Keep his feet well trimmed but no doubt you know that

3:18 am

sandyloo

yes we do - in fact he is being done again this week

3:18 am

Jackanory

ul. Really lovely at our place at the moment, surrounded by trees coming into leaf and a garden bursting forth. Lots of weeds too tho ...

3:19 am

sandyloo

I do out other two horses myself but get a farrier for him as he is too small to bend down to and is also naughty

3:19 am

grannyrose

sandy, you will never know, until you go. hubby and i were absolutely gob-smacked.

3:19 am

Jackanory

Another pony trait!

3:20 am

rubyfoo

I love the image of glamorous sandy trimming her horses! And also the naughty pony -- sounds like a good children's book title

3:20 am

sandyloo

we will go no doubt to nz one day - have been so many other places we cant miss nz

3:20 am

Jackanory

I like the name Nina, would have liked it for a daughter but didn't happen so the cat got it instead!

3:20 am

Jackanory

Not far away sandyloo

3:20 am

grannyrose

lucky cat..lolool...jack

3:20 am

rubyfoo

our first chow was Rosie

3:21 am

puglet

was she a red chow?

3:21 am

sandyloo

Ruby, We let him go in the paddock for a little treat the other day - he didnt want us to catch him again so we chased him all over through the mud in our welllies (really glamorous that was)

3:21 am

rubyfoo

My sister says that the most common name for dogs and children in the US now is Max, the name of the chow in my icon

3:22 am

rubyfoo

keep those images coming, sandy!

3:22 am

grannyrose

next time DH and i come over, we are talking about hiring a campervan, and driving the inner north island. we did check out lower south island well last time.

3:22 am

sandyloo

we had a nice time this morning kayaking on the dam with the cat in the kayak

3:23 am

sandyloo

yes gran, i think we will do the camper van thing too eventually

3:23 am

grannyrose

sandy, naughty pony

3:23 am

Jackanory

Good mountains there but less interesting parts of the country too. Top of the south is well worth a look as is top of the north above Auckland

3:23 am

rubyfoo

have to go and check on the fire (cold and wet here, too)

3:24 am

sandyloo

He is so cute his name is champ- he is my favourite

rubyfoo

*woof*

3:25 am

rubyfoo

3:26 am

joso

I was wondering how you knew jack was ausie. your nations had better never go to war, a one star difference, the friendly fire incidents will be egregious.

3:26 am

joso

bye ruby, hagd

3:26 am

rubyfoo

wow, you are observant, joso, I didn't see the difference, thought jack was another Aussie! duh me

3:27 am

joso

grannyrose

3:38 am

grannyrose

3:38 am

Marc Freeman

Could I get a clue for oc5, please?

3:39 am

grannyrose

joso, phillip island. * sigh * must educate this man!!!

3:40 am

grannyrose

marc, oc + text message you + **es, fibs

3:41 am

Jackanory

ty grannyrose

3:42 am

grannyrose

np's jack

3:45 am

grannyrose

joso...tasmania is a state in it's own right.

3:50 am

joso

ok, so as a state, down on the island could never be a colloquialism referring to the big island south of australia?

3:52 am

joso

back to the grid for a while

3:52 am

grannyrose

no, mate. tasmania is always referred to as tasmania...despite what the locals think...

3:52 am

Marc Freeman

sorry don't understand the 'text message you' clue?

3:53 am

grannyrose

happy delving, joso

3:53 am

rolin

hey...liz...are you still here?

3:53 am

joso

what do the locals think, center of the universe, lol

3:53 am

Jackanory

like a text abbreviation for you

3:54 am

grannyrose

okay, marc.oc + 4th vowel + **es, fibs

3:55 am

grannyrose

*5th vowel* duh me

3:56 am

grannyrose

starts from o in the 2nd column, 4th row

3:56 am

Marc Freeman

tried that but doesn't work. Presume it is oc + 4th vowel plus the first part of li4, yes?

3:57 am

zoozzoom

Marc it is the 5th vowel not the 4th.

3:59 am

puglet

Hi Zoom, have missed you being on here

3:59 am

zoozzoom

I know ((Rose)) was just relaying it again :-)

3:59 am

Lizlin

So you were saying Rose, geography lessons for Joso!

3:59 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Puglet :-)

3:59 am

Lizlin

Hi zooz!

3:59 am

grannyrose

okay...dinner is definitely ready...see you all tomorrow

3:59 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Liz :-)

4:00 am

Lizlin

Enjoy the evening, Rose hugs

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Enjoy your meal, Rose.

4:00 am

puglet

night Rose, hugs and enjoy

4:00 am

grannyrose

*poof*

4:00 am

Lizlin

How've you been? Haven't seen you for a while. Condolences about your aunt - sorry to read that this morning.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

I have been ok, Liz..plodding on as usual..lol..getting colder here now and the nights are quickly drawing in...hope you are well...i heard on the news here that you have been getting some very hot spring weather.

4:03 am

Lizlin

True - many fire bans in the area. Hot strong winds make it worse but walking on the beach has been good as the sea breeze makes it feel much cooler.

4:04 am

Marc Freeman

cr8, please?

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Love walking on the beach when there is hardly anyone else around.

4:05 am

Lizlin

The beaches here are never too crowded even on the weekends and public holidays! There

4:05 am

Lizlin

There's so much beach here.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, Marc...i do not have that on myself..so will wait and see if anyone else can clue it.

4:05 am

Marc Freeman

np

4:05 am

zoozzoom

That sounds wonderful, Liz.

4:05 am

Lizlin

Sorry Marc - I don't have it or any of the 7s either!

4:06 am

Lizlin

We try to walk on the beach most days.

4:06 am

Lizlin

The sand is so soft, it squeaks when you walk on it.

4:06 am

zoozzoom

Me too!..it is not that hard for me as i live nearly next to the beach..lol

4:07 am

puglet

Is your sand white there?

4:07 am

Lizlin

Haven't been to the IOW for many years. Had a couple of childhood holidays there and took the kids on a school trip once. Lovely place.

4:07 am

Lizlin

Yes, pugs. It's pretty white.

4:09 am

Lizlin

If you google KIrra Beach Gold Coast images - that's one of our favourite beaches.

4:09 am

zoozzoom

The sand here is golden, Puglet..although there are parts of our island that has red, yellow & black sand in the cliffs.

4:09 am

puglet

I bet it is beautiful there. Although I dont have the ocean or sea to enjoy, I do have a nice creek that I spend alot of time in when temps allows

4:09 am

Lizlin

I remember making those glass phials of sand on the IOW

4:09 am

zoozzoom

New Zealand has black sand beaches too.

4:10 am

Lizlin

Beautiful coloured sand!

4:10 am

Lizlin

Hope to get to NZ perhaps in 2015

4:10 am

zoozzoom

That is right, Liz..though they will not let you do that anymore...i think too many people have done that over the decades so not much left..lol

4:11 am

zoozzoom

A creek sounds lovely too, Puglet!

4:11 am

Lizlin

I thought it was an organised tourist thing to do! Certainly we didn't just go and grab sand! You're not supposed to do that here either.

4:11 am

Lizlin

Sorry Pugs - yes, a creek does sound lovely.

4:12 am

zoozzoom

People here were so they have curtailed that activity.

4:12 am

puglet

theres just something calming about water and nature, thats for sure

4:13 am

Lizlin

Love watching water! Especially a really rough sea - providing I'm safe on land!

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes i agree..very calming...like in a forest..which i am not too far from either...thats the beauty of a small island..not far from most things..lol

4:14 am

Lizlin

Funny here how many locals won't drive for 30 mins down the coast!

4:14 am

puglet

what kind of wildlife do you have there

4:15 am

zoozzoom

haha i have cycled along the esplandes when the sea is angry and found it thrilling yet scary at the same time..but also strangley beautiful to watch too.

4:15 am

puglet

It sounds like paridise there Liz and Zoom

4:15 am

zoozzoom

That is sad, liz...they are soo missing out.

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Nah..winter time here, Puglet is dull and not much to do.

4:16 am

Lizlin

For us it really is paradise, especially as I was lucky enough to take early retirement! I really value every day that we're just able to go out and enjoy where we live.

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Now if it was warm nearly all year round instead of a few weeks then i would be more content..lol

4:17 am

zoozzoom

But thats just me being greedy..never satisfied.

4:17 am

puglet

do you get snow there Zoom

4:18 am

Lizlin

I don't miss winter but now I complain because I've acclimatised here and in winter the temperature might go into single figures (celsius)

4:18 am

zoozzoom

I am sure it is beautiful too, where you live, Puglet.

4:18 am

Lizlin

And that's at night.

4:18 am

Lizlin

100 down and time for dinner. This grid is a struggle!

4:19 am

Lizlin

Hugs to you both

4:19 am

zoozzoom

When i first moved here in 97..no snow for a few years but recently i would say the last four years we have had snow every year.

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Liz..lovely to talk to you..hugs back.

4:20 am

puglet

I like where I live most of the time and I like the four seasons(though temps pass 80 and temps below 0--I dont care for)

4:20 am

puglet

bye Liz , enjoy your dinner and hugs back

4:21 am

zoozzoom

I agree with the low temps..i do not care for those..in fact anything below 10c for me is not nice..but do not mind high temperatures though.

4:22 am

zoozzoom

Thats probably because we do not get high temps often or for long periods of time..not like Mimi...where they get high temps for very long periods..i might change my mind then if that was the case..lol

4:22 am

puglet

I bet the snow is pretty though on the sand and the forrest.Gives your area a whole different look, I bet

4:24 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes i agree..can look all christmassy ( is that a word?) and it is lovely to walk on..the scrunch noise it makes teehee.

4:25 am

zoozzoom

It is when it starts to melt i am in fear of...as i am not keen on breaking my bones on slush & ice.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Do you have any national parks near you to enjoy, Puglet].

4:26 am

puglet

the word works for me-lol-------I love it during winter when the snow has covered everything even the fences are white and sparkly

4:27 am

puglet

got 2 that are about fifty miles away. Brown County and Whitewater

4:28 am

puglet

When we had horses I went to them and others out of our state to trailride

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Well if you drive then i am sure they would be nice places to visit..but if you rely on public transport then i suppose it is a bit of a journey.

4:29 am

puglet

no public trans here, I drive

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Oh wow you had horses!..how come you do not have them anymore?

4:30 am

puglet

My knees dont let me ride anymore and I do miss it

4:30 am

zoozzoom

How many hands was your horse?

4:30 am

puglet

I use to show and ground train, also had some driving horses and even owned a mule or two

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Wow you could of run a farm lol

4:31 am

puglet

Well the largest I ever owned was a percheon and he was about 18 hands or more

4:32 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear about your knees..bloody bodies never last as long as our minds do..lol

4:32 am

puglet

isnt that the truth! lol

4:33 am

zoozzoom

Rather large then...love horses..never owned one..no where to put it..plus i could not aford the upkeep of one at the moment either.

4:33 am

puglet

My horse I raised and rode the most was a quarter horse about 16 hands

4:34 am

zoozzoom

and the horses name was?

4:35 am

puglet

yeah the 18 hand horse was a workhorse I bought as a baby and he was coal black and named Moses and the Qh was named Samson

4:36 am

zoozzoom

Nice names..sorry, Puglet, but i have to go now as i am going to the car boot sales now..Lovely to talk to you..take care untill next time ((Puglet))

4:36 am

puglet

do you have a place there that you can rent a horse to ride

4:37 am

puglet

bye Zoom, was nice chatting with you too, enjoy and hugs to see you off

4:38 am

zoozzoom

Afraid not, Puglet..i have no job at the moment either so money is tight..*poof*

5:12 am

sprite

but I found a dance and a family member of yours as very nice words, lyn

5:12 am

lynxxx

hmmmm

5:27 am

jwr

how many votes for making "chog" -- ch4,8 ch5,18 -- a legitimate word?

5:28 am

sprite

hi jwr, this version of enable does not even acknowledge 'internet' so all words like email, blog, chog etc are unknown still :)

5:28 am

lynxxx

no, knew that one was the same as email

5:28 am

jwr

ah well I think I got the count on the pl version wrong anyway

5:29 am

jwr

and hello hello hello

5:29 am

sprite

no, I think the count would have been correct. 9 x 2

5:30 am

jwr

that's one for sprite, one for lynxxx, and one for whoever is lurking ... as I am about to leave ... Oh thanks for checking my arithmetic sprite

5:30 am

5:35 am

sprite

bikes, I don't care about, lol

5:35 am

grannyrose

darling sprite, how are you? the race and riders are secondary to you, sweetie.

5:36 am

sprite

am okayish. Had toast with cheese and ham in the middle of the night and then slept in until noon... which is probably the sugar acting up... so am not too proud of myself right now.

5:37 am

sprite

and you, rose?

5:37 am

grannyrose

or did you need the time out, sprite? glad that DH was able to handle the household until you surfaced.

5:39 am

joso

5:44 am

sprite

I tried ecoli too. And eboli but that should have been ebola to start with.

5:45 am

lbdawger

argh, tough grid this one

5:45 am

sprite

yes it is. Fun though. Found some very nice words.

5:46 am

grannyrose

lyn, not working as of last tuesday when GP spat the dummy and said no more. strange that!! by friday workcover had an appointment for me with their ortho surgeon..in 10 days time.

5:46 am

PMS

Any clues for cr8,45 please?

5:47 am

sprite

so nice how having to pay for nothing speeds up the sandy gears of W'cover

5:47 am

lynxxx

pity it had to come to that - but Hooray!!!!

5:47 am

joso

cr8, make tree sap tar

5:47 am

sprite

thanks joso

5:48 am

grannyrose

pms,cr8, cr + **n, an era + tell fibs, **e + wind direction

5:48 am

joso

5:48 am

PMS

ty joso

5:48 am

lynxxx

TY Joso - don't think I would have found that

5:48 am

sprite

rose has to go to the PB, rose has to go to the PB

5:49 am

grannyrose

yeah, joso..he's our man...

5:49 am

sprite

ah... that was because it was apparently a verb and there aren't that many verb endings in this grid, joso. Easy to be fast when you know the start and the end of a word.

5:50 am

joso

can't go li4 ither rose, must say 'speaks with forked tounge'

5:50 am

grannyrose

acckkk...in cl4 giving?...*shrug* ...oh, well...anyone for a scotch?

5:50 am

sprite

oooohhh I like that, joso. Very poetic.

5:50 am

sprite

I could go for a virtual scotch right now. Bring it on, my dear friend

5:51 am

joso

and so much easier to type than fi4 or li4, lol

5:51 am

sprite

lol

5:52 am

grannyrose

*hands sprite a virtual scotch* with ice or cola,or water, dear?

5:52 am

sprite

with ice, I think. I like my drinks either hot or cold.

5:52 am

grannyrose

hokay, hun

5:53 am

sprite

thanks, dear one

5:53 am

grannyrose

and the race is about to begin again. 12 laps only.

5:53 am

sprite

enjoy!

5:53 am

joso

sorry the knee is giving you more grief Rose, you'd think with the rest it would give you a break. such an unfair world at times

5:54 am

grannyrose

omg, another 2 down....nothing serious...except for pride..

5:54 am

sprite

it may be a very literal knee and obliging every time rose says 'give me a break'

5:54 am

grannyrose

thanx joso...am pretty disappointed myself

5:54 am

sprite

you should zap to another station, rose, you are watching bowling right now

5:55 am

grannyrose

roflol...not b****y likely

5:55 am

joso

so these racers are eager to die it seems

5:56 am

grannyrose

joso, tune in, moto2...it's so exciting...in a ghoulish way

5:57 am

grannyrose

i think all the spectators are watching in proxy

5:57 am

joso

don't let sprite visit until you are better, she may think baby janing you is the height of humor

5:57 am

sprite

yeah... that is one of the things I don't like about motor races

5:58 am

grannyrose

lolol, joso...sprite, you see that?

5:59 am

sprite

I need to look up baby janing, lol, before I can tell if I am insulted or not

6:00 am

joso

ah, a movie scene, where one lady pushes the wheelchair lady down the stairs, was a joke refering to your joke

6:01 am

grannyrose

omg...DH develops an accent every time he says one of these names....it gives me the giggles.

6:02 am

grannyrose

joso, i am not in a wheelchair.....yet...lolol

6:02 am

joso

whatever happened to baby jane, a ghastly movie thought to be a classic, like virginia woolf

6:02 am

sprite

ah, indeed :D
Lol joso....

6:03 am

sprite

I would be very good to rose, I promise. But no risk, cause I can't afford a ticket ;)

6:04 am

joso

people picking on cripples, not that I would ever do such a thing, like cautioning against cartwheels or anything.

6:04 am

sprite

no, not you, joso, never you

6:04 am

joso

see my wings, let me polish up the halo

6:05 am

grannyrose

omg...what is it about the half naked body of the male of the species??? yum!!!!

6:05 am

sprite

people wearing halos make me wanna throw a tennis ball through the loop.

6:05 am

joso

which half, left or right?

6:06 am

sprite

stop drooling, rose! Jeezz girl, I have to wipe of my entire keyboard!

6:06 am

grannyrose

TOP!~!!!!

6:06 am

sprite

I think rose is the ghoul here. There they are, dragging a biker out of the crash, carefully peeling of his clothes to see the injuries and there goes rose, all hot and bothered at seeing his torso.

6:07 am

grannyrose

mind you...if it was the bottom....i would be totally absent

6:07 am

grannyrose

mind you...if it was the bottom....i would be totally absent

hi guys, hope everyone is having a good day

6:51 am

sprite

hi sandy, am ok here, and you?

6:51 am

sandyloo

I am good, we had a lovely sunny day here and went kayaking on our dam

6:52 am

sandyloo

We went to the neighbours farm last nite for dinner and went marroning in her dam and had some marron for dinner

6:52 am

hurshy

what's a marron

6:53 am

sprite

a fish

6:53 am

sprite

hi hurs :)

6:53 am

hurshy

is it a white fish

6:53 am

sprite

sounds like a lovely day, sandy

6:53 am

sandyloo

a marron is a west australian fresh water crayfish which is found here and it is sooo good

6:53 am

sandyloo

not a fish

6:53 am

hurshy

see NOT a fish, :P sprite

6:53 am

sandyloo

as good as any lobster you will find anywhere

6:54 am

sprite

lolllllll see how little I know of waterspecies...

6:54 am

sandyloo

for the public the marron season is only open for two days and you would need a marroning licence. However on private property you can catch them anytime

6:55 am

hurshy

if atalante were here ...

6:55 am

sprite

indeed. I miss her lots

6:55 am

hurshy

two days? that is a very short season

6:56 am

sandyloo

huge fines exist for people who try to catch them out of season and if you catch them on a farm (like we did) you never take them off the property but eat them there

6:56 am

sandyloo

they are very sort after and a great delicacy in the restaurants down here who buy them from marron farms

6:57 am

gran

Thanks for the cr 8/45 clues, but just not finding it - any more clues please

6:57 am

sandyloo

what has happened to atalante - i havent been on for a long time

A blech (from the German by way of Yiddish word for tin or sheet metal) is a metal sheet used by many observant Jews to cover stovetop burners (and for some, the cooker's knobs and dials) on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath), as part of the precautions taken to avoid violating the halachic prohibition against cooking on the Sabbath.

7:19 am

hurshy

oh. i just meant blech. like, cooked cabbage, blech.

7:19 am

sprite

Liz, I have learned so much from the babblets. Not necessarily useful things, but still fun to know

7:19 am

sprite

yeah, my association was also blech - yuck.

7:20 am

Okay, I have a bone to pick. I came on earlier to innocently babble a bit. And someone in this group talked about another game, Serpentine. Wee that just stole hours from my life. Who ever mentioned it will have to pay for my addiction therapy!

10:25 am

gramma

Now back to a more reasonable game, Babble.

10:26 am

crosshair

yes,babble of course is non- addictive. i have quit many times:))

10:27 am

gramma

At least it ends for awhile. That stupid Serpentine just keeps going. I thought I may have to result to adult diapers

10:28 am

crosshair

lol,just like the casinos.depends and food in paste form and every 24 hours they come by to see if you are still acting on your own free will and are not having an embolism

10:29 am

gramma

lol

10:29 am

10:30 am

There is a reason I don't gamble and you just reminded me.

10:30 am

not for me though

10:33 am

we have two casinos maybe 3.casino Niagra,casino rama and that is 2 too many

10:33 am

Speaking of addictions. Whoever came up with sober-October should be shot! The 1st couple of weeks is like sure I don't need a cocktail in the evening...and then it's the weekend and you start avoiding people and places because you are not strong enough to be in that situation. Next thing you know, you're just on the puter all the time because it's your only friend left. Do you think I'm being over dramatic?

10:33 am

crosshair

i think there may be one in windsor but i am not sure

10:34 am

crosshair

never heard of sober october so to be honest it has not bothered me in the slightest.haad my nightly tipple last night as always

10:35 am

mixi6

how can you have octoberfest in sober october?

10:35 am

crosshair

there are many benifits of not having cabe tv programming and missing made up events like sober october is just one of them

10:35 am

gramma

It's a silly test of will power. They (whoever they are) say your liver completely rejuvenates in 30 days. Then you can punish it again.

10:36 am

crosshair

bah,time enough to test myself when the cabinet is bare

10:36 am

gramma

It came from my children not tv

10:36 am

mixi6

maybe it an alcoholism test?

10:36 am

Personally, I think "going along with the crowd" is something that should only be observed by lemmings....and we know what happens to them!

10:37 am

10:37 am

gramma

I like your attitude! I discovered a wonderful thing called Green Spot when I was in Ireland. 6 bottles are calling my name.

10:37 am

crosshair

yup,off the cliff with you!

10:37 am

mixi6

I only have about one drink a month, except when visiting my sister.

10:38 am

crosshair

i used to drink too much,now i have slowed down and only drink to excess

10:38 am

on bright side i gave upthe lung darts in 2002

10:38 am

MimiCat

I like being independent and thinking for myself. I try not to be judgmental but there is a t-shirt I saw that I really like..it says "If you don't like my opinion of you...you can always change." Hmmm....

10:39 am

I just gave those friends up 5 months ago.

epic phone call;) hate the telephone myself.i use it only to transmit important info as fast as possible and then get off the thing.think it stems from the late 60,s when my da used to time our call to gramma in the UK with a stop watch

10:43 am

ivesy3

ty oo

10:43 am

crosshair

think the usage of the trans atlantic cable to the UK used to be $1.65 a min and that was about an hours wages then lol

10:43 am

gramma

crossy, I also dislike the phone. I find it intrusive. People don't understand when I don't feel I need to answer it. To me it's an option.

10:44 am

crosshair

i love the smart phones.they take not only messages but voice mail.i turn it on at the end of the day,edit it all and decide who i wish to call back

10:45 am

gramma

I don't have a machine. I can check caller id if I think of it.

10:45 am

like having your own personal secretary who gaurds your privacy with her life;)

been there, done that, lol....hello all...

12:16 pm

MollyL

How about when someone asks for a hint for the kr5 and you look, and look and look, only to find out, there is no kr5.

12:17 pm

hurshy

well, that's their fault, not yours

12:17 pm

hurshy

they did ought to be more careful.

12:17 pm

MollyL

True, but I have learned not to fall for those hint requests. : )

12:18 pm

hurshy

well done you. if you're still listless, you are wide open to them. so i can't learn.

12:19 pm

MollyL

Another good reason to stay out of chat until I'm done.

12:19 pm

hurshy

i admire your self-control

12:20 pm

rururocks

there's a kr 5 ?

12:20 pm

rururocks

:D

12:20 pm

MollyL

It's not really self-control. I like to find words on my own. And chat can be a non-stop stream of hints.

12:21 pm

hurshy

i need... the co6/27 before jointly record a journal entry

12:22 pm

hurshy

and one of the last co6/24's, i have the one that is a food thing like raspberry co6/24

12:25 pm

co + first three of a brain altering operation + vowel

12:25 pm

my brain-altering days are over :D

12:30 pm

The other co6 ends in a double vowel

12:30 pm

hurshy

ah i see, thanks

12:30 pm

hurshy

done

12:31 pm

MollyL

Never heard of the raspberry word. Where I come from we call that a puree.

12:32 pm

rururocks

it's a french cooking word

12:32 pm

rururocks

tomato too

12:32 pm

hurshy

i think chefs feel that the more words they have to describe their food so that you don't know what you are eating, the more you will find it delicious.

12:32 pm

MollyL

Yes, but as you well know, I do not do fancy pants cooking.

12:33 pm

hurshy

i don't DO it, i just watch it on tv

12:33 pm

3:40 pm

ChrissieDee

Night zooz, tc

3:40 pm

MollyL

They thought it was pneumonia at first, then it turned out to be salmonella. Either way, it's tough on a guy his age.

3:41 pm

hego

trying to figure out how you mistake salmonella for pneumonia????

3:41 pm

ChrissieDee

ty for the update

3:46 pm

MollyL

It's kind of a long story but the initial tests came back with a questionable lung x-ray.

3:47 pm

hego

still kind of strange.

3:47 pm

hego

glad they got him diagnosed.

3:50 pm

MollyL

Well, I don't know. High fever and questionable lung x-ray and over 80 led to "could be pneumonia". Further tests revealed the salmonella. I guess it's all in who is doing the diagnosing.

3:51 pm

hego

right

3:52 pm

BzznBea

Does salmonella show up in blood tests?

3:53 pm

hego

I don't think so Bea.

3:54 pm

hego

You can culture it from stool.

3:55 pm

BzznBea

Finally through the crappy C's!

3:55 pm

hego

not me. lol

3:55 pm

hego

Jusat a few left.

bye lynx, have a good day

5:16 pm

Rows

why does it not accept colbies as a word? like the cheese, but plural...

5:20 pm

periwinkle

Enable, the dictionary that babble uses does not accept a lot of words

5:21 pm

Rows

yeah it's silly

5:21 pm

periwinkle

fi5/20 pls

5:21 pm

Rows

it also needs to be updated with the word blog

5:21 pm

periwinkle

I was just thinking that. it is way out of date

5:23 pm

Rows

sorry, i can't get the fi5 either

5:24 pm

I don't even see it on morewords

5:24 pm

5:25 pm

Rows

oh :( i didn't understand that clue

5:25 pm

penquis

yw...

5:26 pm

MollyL

The Enable word list has not been updated since 2000. And apparently there are no plans to do so. Why it is still the go to word list for word games is beyond me.

5:26 pm

Rows

yeah, that's weird

5:27 pm

periwinkle

wow that is a long time, Molls

5:27 pm

Rows

though, blogs did exist in 2000

5:27 pm

Rows

at least the early version of blogging

5:28 pm

penquis

ok....fi + tall letter + we call communication here the **og....

5:28 pm

Rows

i suck at getting these clues

5:29 pm

MollyL

blog is a contraction (technically) a combination of web and log. I will guess that is why Enable doesn't recognize it.

5:29 pm

Rows

it's okay, you can give up on giving me a clue for that one

5:29 pm

periwinkle

I don't think she know **og, pen

5:29 pm

Rows

well yeah, but it's become its own word now

5:29 pm

Rows

yeah, i don't

5:29 pm

penquis

subsitute...**at for **og....talking like this

5:30 pm

Rows

haha got it

5:30 pm

Rows

**og? really? never heard of that word

5:30 pm

periwinkle

yay for Rows

5:30 pm

fi5 rhymes with a zi word that means zero

5:30 pm

penquis

5:30 pm

5:30 pm

Rows

thank you :)

5:31 pm

5:31 pm

MollyL

I have no idea where **og came from, since this spot is called the chat box. Seems it would be a chox.

5:32 pm

periwinkle

one of the babblers made it up but I do not remember who

5:32 pm

magazinemom

I think it comes from that little icon to the right up here where it says "view entire chat log" maybe??

5:32 pm

Rows

oh, weird

5:32 pm

Rows

haha

5:32 pm

penquis

well when people pontificate, it becomes a cross between chat and a blog... ;o)

5:32 pm

MollyL

Apparently a lot of things were made up here. Monkeys, babblets, choclits.

5:32 pm

8:30 pm

my clue is for the word you want...

8:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

does how well a person feels during chemo have any relation to how effective it is? i.e., if the patient breezed through it does that mean it is not doing its job?

8:31 pm

joso

co6, co + vowel + best 10 ***t

8:31 pm

stidmama

I don't think so, TO -- different chemicals have different side effects for different people.

8:31 pm

Nef

No, TO, from what I know and have seen, there isn't much correlation at all.

8:31 pm

lbdawger

finally, ty, Penq and joso

How is it for you today, LBD?

8:37 pm

go magmom go!!!!

8:38 pm

Nef

okay. I think it's probably like stid said: we all react differently to different chemicals/drugs. Whether it's side effects or just the specific way the persons' body metabolizes the drug; is dependent on how it affects that individual.

8:38 pm

stidmama

okay, help for the U word please?

the colors here were gorgeous yesterday, then it rained. They were still nice today but much better yesterday.

8:41 pm

stidmama

we have some very pretty sweetgum blooming right now. Not native to the area, but a planting craze about 15 years ago means we now get those colors even when it's a "rusty-weather" year as this is. (that's what I call the years that the rain forces our bigleaf maple to move from green to brown without the gorgeous yellow they can carry)
