Yeah. Mostly weeds here to. But, we refuse to spray chemicals. Too many critters around. We should just forego the mowing and buy a wee herd of goats.

11:10 am

MollyL

Oh yeah Judi. You would be the hit of the neighborhood.

11:10 am

rururocks

this is a really, really tough grid

12:13 pm

Aloyisius

12:14 pm

zoozzoom

I am struggling with all these Gs :-(

12:14 pm

rururocks

I am missing two f's from the top right.. and 7 g's

12:14 pm

Foffle

yes it is but I'm up to 84 words now so quite happy

12:20 pm

rururocks

i'm heading to a list soon as this is going nowhere

12:21 pm

Aloyisius

you need to ruru.. there are SO many strange ones in today's grid

12:22 pm

rururocks

as soon as I hit ten aloy

12:22 pm

Aloyisius

listed at 25% I think, my usual goal

12:22 pm

helensgirlkid

Yes - thanks much, Molly But watch out for changes from ni to no - I spent quite a ridiculous amount of time trying to find five ni 4s that don't exist! The great hazard of over-dependence on lists.

12:23 pm

Aloyisius

when that starts getting easy, I'll make it harder on myself

12:23 pm

Aloyisius

haha.. so did I helens!

12:23 pm

Aloyisius

eyeballs get all googly, but separating helps a lot

12:24 pm

Erda

Has anybody heard from Lickety?

12:24 pm

helensgirlkid

No, but Molly is filling in for him.

12:26 pm

rururocks

I think molly just copied Sprite's list Helen as a favor for everyone

12:27 pm

rururocks

these g's are driving me nuts

12:27 pm

Erda

Ahhh

12:28 pm

zoozzoom

Me too, Ru they are giving me Gr5/20

12:28 pm

helensgirlkid

That's true - I should have noted that in my comment. Often she's passing on Dee's list - a real boon, since Dee doesn't separate groups.

12:29 pm

Erda

Separating the groups makes all the difference!

12:30 pm

rururocks

*someone just shoot me now*

12:31 pm

crosshair

just back from a driveabout in the hills. It is nice to see the tom turkeys out again chasing the ladies and showing off their tail feathers:)

7:17 pm

crosshair

and now it is time for Crossy's song of the day!!! Todays song is by two people whom I have never heard of until today. It is so hauntingly beautiful that I have just spent the last two hours tracking down a full mp3 copy of this song and immediately ordered the full album it came off of. It is tough to find in its full length on you tube or the other music sites but if you email me I will send you a mp3 copy of the single. Be careful though, you may end up ordering it instantly like I did! The song is by Eric Tingstad & Nancy Rumbel and is called roses and Lace.. beautiful...

7:56 pm

MimiCat

Another song I think you'll love is by Nickel Creek...The Lighthouse's Tale...haunting, unusual, intensely beautiful.

7:56 pm

crosshair

((mimi))

7:56 pm

crosshair

I will look it up mimi

7:57 pm

MimiCat

Just checking in for a moment...very angry today...sorry...don't want to inflict myself on all of you. Amazon has it, crossy.

7:58 pm

crosshair

if you need to vent, lay it on me. If not do something that is soothing and just for you tonight

7:58 pm

MimiCat

BTW, crossy, it is a tale told by a lighthouse of its keeper and his love which has a tragic end....sad but oh, so beautiful.

7:58 pm

crosshair

found it, ty mimi

7:59 pm

MimiCat

Thanks so much, crossy dear. I'm just feeling taken for granted and neglected tonight.

7:59 pm

crosshair

((mimi))

8:00 pm

MimiCat

Most of the time I'm fine alone. But at times like this, I do wish I had someone to put his arms around me and just hold me until the pain subsides...

8:00 pm

crosshair

wish I was there. would give you a big ole crossy bear hug:)

8:01 pm

MimiCat

Dear sweet crossy...know you would.

8:01 pm

periwinkle

Mimicat, I thought you were going to call me today.

8:02 pm

periwinkle

okay, I will try again, but check your spam too pls. since I will be using the same email address

8:03 pm

MimiCat

It's difficult being angry at both children and cats simultaneously....no comfort anywhere.

8:03 pm

MimiCat

OK, peri...will look right away.

8:04 pm

crosshair

put on some of your favorite music. turn the tv off. grab a good book and either pour a stiff martini or a nice strong cuppa tea and let that tension flow out

8:04 pm

crosshair

oh and rip the phone out of the wall and toss it out the door

8:05 pm

MimiCat

Vodka already involved, crossy. Sometimes sadness just overwhelms..not often, thank goodness.

8:06 pm

uusue2

((((Mimi))))

8:06 pm

MimiCat

It's just terrible to feel used and abused when all you ever wanted was to make those you love happy...sorry, not really trying to martyr myself.

8:06 pm

MimiCat

((sue)) dear.

8:07 pm

crosshair

it is ok. understand. we just did all the things involving a will. The vultures come out and the true nature shines through. I understand fully

8:07 pm

MimiCat

So grateful to have my Babble friends who never let me feel alone....thank you.

8:07 pm

periwinkle

10:48 pm

10:49 pm

grannyrose

good for you, maggie. ;-)

10:50 pm

grannyrose

kate, my DIL's are all gen Y. they look at me blankly if i quote shakespeare or one of the classics. makes me feel ancient.

10:50 pm

rururocks

Guessing kevin costner didn't cut it

10:51 pm

grannyrose

either that or he didn't fill the part well enough...

10:51 pm

TraderKate

you're not ancient granny..... education these days is sorely lacking... *sigh*

10:52 pm

rururocks

She is ancient but still... :D

10:52 pm

grannyrose

i agree, kate. what happened to the standards? and a well-rounded education, of any kind?

10:52 pm

grannyrose

pfft ruru. ;-P

10:53 pm

rururocks

Her birth certificates are part of the dead sea scrolls :D

10:54 pm

grannyrose

HAH!!! come over here and say that.....lol

10:54 pm

TraderKate

it's all about "teaching the test" these days....poor well-meaning politicos.... let no child be left behind has lowered the bar and devalued a diploma....

10:54 pm

grannyrose

cheeky possom!!

10:55 pm

TraderKate

naughty, naughty ruru!

10:55 pm

rururocks

Lol. Not on your life

10:55 pm

grannyrose

10:56 pm

TraderKate

10:56 pm

grannyrose

when did you say you were going to be in new zealand?

10:57 pm

grannyrose

oh, my, kate. roflol

10:58 pm

TraderKate

i noticed ruru has transplanted himself to greece..... not sure i like our resident loveable scamp on another continent....

11:00 pm

grannyrose

*giggle* only half of him is in greece, but he won't say which half.

11:00 pm

TraderKate

should we pass the hat so we can send ruru to collect his come-uppance??? i'd pay to see that.....

11:02 pm

TraderKate

hopefully the top or front half, so he can eat th food and see the sights....perhaps his secret identity is a satyr????? that would explain a lot.... <drums fingers on table>

11:02 pm

grannyrose

it's okay, kate. he will get it anyway, when i come over there. not sure when, but one day, there is gonna be a knock on his front door...

11:03 pm

rururocks

I haven't left home yet granny.. being greek I was afraid to leave my Brother's behind

11:03 pm

grannyrose

*choke* ruru!!!

11:03 pm

rururocks

*old greek joke*

11:04 pm

TraderKate

really olde....a bit foetid, actually ;)

11:04 pm

grannyrose

oh, so you admit to being an old greek??

11:04 pm

rururocks

most of me anyway

11:05 pm

grannyrose

or is that geek??

11:06 pm

grannyrose

do you have tomorrow off as well, ruru? or is it business as usual for you?

11:07 pm

rururocks

tomorrow I work.. but I'm taking the afternoon off to take my nephew to a doctor

11:07 pm

rururocks

I hope it's a small grid tonight

11:07 pm

rururocks

like 72 or something

11:07 pm

TraderKate

picturing granny dressed like mary poppins..... tapping on ruru's door with umbrella handle..... being practically perfect, she would throttle him handily with said umbrella when he answered the door (after proper introductions wrre made, of course)

11:07 pm

grannyrose

hoping nothing is majorly wrong, mate. how old is he?

11:08 pm

rururocks

he's 20

11:08 pm

rururocks

he has a lot of issues

11:08 pm

TraderKate

A doctor, or THE doctor??????

11:08 pm

rururocks

I'm bringing him to my internist a great great doctor

11:08 pm

grannyrose

kate, does the umbrella handle look like a duck?

11:09 pm

rururocks

Don would protect me anyway TK

11:09 pm

TraderKate

a duck??????? i should think not!!!!! why?

11:09 pm

rururocks

Birds of a feather and all that

11:09 pm

grannyrose

poor kid. to have so many things wrong, at his young age. i hope you get some answers, ruru

11:10 pm

rururocks

me too. I am seeing this all the way through and will take him to specialists if necessary and pay for all of it.

11:10 pm

grannyrose

a duck...little fat, fluffy waddling creature. cool and calm on the surface, paddling like the furies un5neath.

11:10 pm

rururocks

<--not fluffy

11:11 pm

grannyrose

good on you ruru.

11:11 pm

rururocks

he's a great kid

11:11 pm

grannyrose

ummm, define fluffy.....there are several definitions.

11:13 pm

rururocks

Don's birthday is coming up soon isn't it gr?

11:14 pm

TraderKate

thinks ruru protests too much.... and the handle was a parrot, not a duck... though it might be good advice for ruru when she comes a-knocking... lol

11:14 pm

grannyrose

yup, the poor baby is about to turn 60...but deacon is first, and turns 6.

11:14 pm

rururocks

60 .. wow..

11:14 pm

rururocks

what do you have planned for the old fart ?

11:14 pm

rururocks

:D

11:16 pm

grannyrose

big party 10th may, 40 + kids. at the function room of the local pub. finger food, cakes etc.oh the balloons, must get out and order the balloons, all 60 of them...

11:16 pm

rururocks

(maybe have the fire department on stand-by with that many candles)

11:17 pm

TraderKate

SOUNDS LIKE ABSOLUTE PANDEMONIUM! what fun :D

11:19 pm

grannyrose

sorry, our beautiful sun-shiny autumn day just turned grey and overcast, and spitting rain. went out to rescue the washing.

11:20 pm

grannyrose

kate, it's going to be crazy...a typical family birthday, by my standards. don's family never had this sort of celebration at all

11:22 pm

TraderKate

good! everyone should have a great party on the biggies :) it does soiund like fun :)

11:22 pm

grannyrose

my parents had 5 kids, and when we all married, and started to have kids, the numbers just sweeled every year. now our kids are having kids. so even without the parents, the family keeps getting larger and larger.

11:22 pm

grannyrose

*swelled *

11:23 pm

grannyrose

throw some childhood friends, with wives and kids into the mix....and what have you got ??? a bag of mixed nuts!!

11:24 pm

TraderKate

so..... you just multiply exponentially, willy-nilly-like until the whole country is under your control.... clever plan ;)

11:24 pm

grannyrose

darn....you saw right through us....

11:25 pm

TraderKate

enjoy those nuts while you can granny... this is what makes the memories that we all cherish forever...

11:27 pm

grannyrose

have you ever seen the movie 'mixed nuts' with steve martin? it never got a good review, but it was so quirky, it was a side-splitter.my girl-friend and i had to turn the video off, we were laughing so hard that we couldn't watch the film.

11:27 pm

TraderKate

so....as the matriarch of this great society, will you call the country roseland? or just

11:29 pm

TraderKate

hahaha... never been a fan of steve martin, but if i get a chance to watch it, i'll give it a whirl....

11:31 pm

grannyrose

kate, same here. but my friend suggested it. as i said, it is rather quirky. as for this great land...i think for now i will leave it as australia....'rosewater' doesn't cut it, does it?

11:35 pm

TraderKate

rosewater could be the national drink ;) i like quirky, so i will have a look for it

11:36 pm

grannyrose

*giggle* can you imagine a whole nation walking around, smelling like turkish delight?

11:37 pm

TraderKate

triumph! i have found the 9 all by myself, just like a big girl :D

11:38 pm

TraderKate

hahaha..... not even in turkey!!!! foul stuff, that turkish delight....just who is actually delighted by it anyway??????

11:38 pm

grannyrose

yay, kate!!

11:40 pm

grannyrose

ummmm, don and me.....we love it. that is the proper stuff, not what some confectioners call turkish delight. at the local market in hobart, tasmania, they had a stall which sold over 20 varieties of it.

11:42 pm

TraderKate

well, should i be so lucky as to visit down under, i shall have you escort me to the purveyor of such sweet treats...

11:42 pm

rururocks

I thought Turkish delight involved sheep

11:43 pm

TraderKate

nononono ruru... that's scottish delight ;)

11:43 pm

rururocks

ah.. thanks for the correction

11:44 pm

rururocks

11:45 pm

rururocks

it's shearly fun

11:45 pm

rururocks

I should leave well enough a loin

11:46 pm

grannyrose

i could call you a dag at this point, but i value your friendship too much.

11:46 pm

rururocks

oh.. not sure what a dag is.. but i'm guessing I don't want to know

11:47 pm

TraderKate

<----- passes the mint sauce

11:47 pm

grannyrose

nope, probably better to leave you innocent....

11:47 pm

grannyrose

wrong word, innocent you are not...ignorant....

11:48 pm

grannyrose

nope, still wrong word....unknowing...there that sounds better.

11:49 pm

rururocks

*praying for a tiny grid*

11:49 pm

TraderKate

ruru.... those tiny grids are often vile......

11:50 pm

rururocks

11:50 pm

grannyrose
