I'll catch her one night...They were delicious!
1:28 am
flosey

love your owls, I have one that lives up the hill behind the house, he often comes down and sits on the fence post just outside my office window
1:28 am
flosey

what kind of sandwich was it, HO
1:29 am
hootowl

It was French Toast. ..But instead of using plain bread, she used thomases raisin bread.
1:30 am
flosey

oh, sounds interesting
1:30 am
hootowl

My store didn't have it so we used Pepperidge Farm which is a thin slice.
1:31 am
flosey

I am not familiar with Thomases but we have bakeries in both of our grocery stores, I'll try it
1:31 am
hootowl

I will never understand how you can make THICK slices of french toast cooked properly!
1:32 am
hootowl

It is worth it!
1:33 am
dizgrannie

FWs
1:33 am
hootowl

Won't do it every day or even every week, but 2-3x per year should keep doctors away from us!
1:34 am
flosey

but a pleasant change from the usual - we most often have rolled oats with cranberries - and, as you say, waffles a few times throughout a year
1:34 am
hootowl

wtg diz
1:35 am
flosey

well done diz
1:35 am
hootowl

Yeah, we spread out the not so good for us stuff, but it's better than some of the things they come up with!
1:36 am
flosey

I got off to a very slow start tonight, wasn't seeing much of anything
1:36 am
hootowl

We are apparently supposed to put our tastebuds in drydock!
1:36 am
flosey

will just aim at 100 before I sign off, 9 to go, window cleaner is coming tomorrow at 8:
1:37 am
hootowl

Even though both our docs haaven't found anything they can say NONONO to!
1:37 am
flosey

yes, I've been drinking coffee since I was 12, Doc cup me down to 1 a day!
1:38 am
hootowl

how can I help? still need 60 but maybe none of them are yours!
1:39 am
flosey

and a small glass of wine with dinner - but actually that doesn't bother me as much as the coffee - was use to it 3 meals a day
1:39 am
hootowl

And yet two or 3 different "health" books, mags, whatever - have found that it is GOOD for you!
1:39 am
flosey

I only have 1 ge word the guy
1:40 am
hootowl

I will NOT give up my coffee!
1:40 am
hootowl

which guy? the normal one or the freak?

1:45 am
MayneGuy

lynn is doing great, busy with the book store
1:45 am
puglet

bye HO
1:46 am
grannyrose

it seems to have settled for now, pugs
1:46 am
puglet

How did it go today Rose? Better then before
1:46 am
flosey

please give her my regards, was thinking of Joan the other day
1:47 am
grannyrose

not really, hun. but i had the magnesium with me, and that helped
1:47 am
puglet

sorry to hear that Rose--You may just have to put off returning right now
1:48 am
grannyrose

and my unit manager is so lovely, not at all pushy. when i told her how it was the other day, SHE suggested just going for one hour.
1:48 am
puglet

that was nice of her and is that what you did today? Just an hour
1:49 am
grannyrose

she wants me to be happy at work, and if i can't do the 2 hours, well she would rather i went home. my GP has written me up for 1-2 hour shifts only for the next 4 weeks.
1:50 am
worzel

Back again - having changed the calendars. According to one calendar I am to wish the Finns happy Vappu, the Swiss Happy Forsta Maj and the Mexicans a Happy Labour Day, although I think the latter may be some kind of contradiction in terms . . . (just joking, Mexico, please don't shoot me!!!)
1:50 am
puglet

thats good! Can you handle that, do you think
1:50 am
grannyrose

i did the 2 hours today, but i had the magnesium, so i wasn't as bad as the other day
1:50 am
puglet

welcome back Wor--glad to know you are up to date now-lol
1:51 am
worzel

lol - oh, I wouldn't be able to rest unless I'd changed the calendars and wished everyone a happy something or another!!!
1:51 am
grannyrose

i think so, pugs. with both the mother's dying, i am actually about 4 weeks behind in recovery. so these 4 weeks will allow my body to catch up.
1:51 am
puglet

just please be careful Rose--hate to see you take a setback now--love ya, you know
1:52 am
grannyrose

i know, dearest, and it is reciprocated.
1:52 am
flosey

yes rose, everything came at once, was far too much
1:52 am
worzel

You take it slow Mum xx otherwise I'll be flying over there to sort you out!! x
1:53 am
grannyrose

i'm so fortunate to have you all as friends. you let me vent, high or low, then help me settle back down.
1:54 am
puglet

It seems that your workplace is kind enough to work with you and thats a big plus
1:54 am
flosey

ws all too much for a body in good normal working condition
1:55 am
grannyrose

pugs, this manager's predecessors were the pits. they would push me so hard. she is so insightful and understanding. plus our new ANUM knows me very well, and is also behind me 100%. to have that sort of support in the workplace is very unusual.
1:56 am
worzel

funny how the grid lets you have some rude words and not others . . . (not that I look for them, obviously!)
1:56 am
grannyrose

hmmm, worzel you tried wank didn't you? lol....so did i
1:57 am
worzel

oooooo Mother - how roooood!!!! pmsl xx
1:57 am
puglet

well Rose you are an unusual person-lol And you should have that! :)
1:57 am
worzel

and the way you phrased it wasn't much better!!!
1:57 am
grannyrose

and enable doesn't recognise nanna, a quite common term over here for a grandmother.
1:58 am
grannyrose

oh, dear worzel, roflol
1:58 am
worzel

on a similar theme - phantom crack!
1:59 am
flosey

but I think it does accept nana ?
1:59 am
grannyrose

and there are two favourite feline past-times in the grid today, both ca6/24
2:00 am
grannyrose

yes, flosey, which i find very strange
2:03 am
worzel

does the 9 come from the fourth column e?
2:04 am
grannyrose

ne9, comes from the n in the first column
2:05 am
grannyrose

eg8, comes from the e in the top row
2:05 am
worzel

monkeyed negotiate then, thinking it was the word, only to find no e at the end lmao!!!
2:06 am
worzel

shit think i gave away the answer then - soooooooooo sorry!!!!!!!!!!!
2:06 am
grannyrose

almost, worzel. the word is someone who does that
2:06 am
flosey

ok, have 101 words, can pick up the other 69 tomorrow, goodnight all
2:06 am
sprite

good morning all
2:06 am
worzel

nn flosey take care xx
2:07 am
grannyrose

hope you are ableyo sleep tonight, dearest flosey.
2:07 am
sprite

hi and bye flosey, I hope you can sleep
2:07 am
puglet

good night flosey
2:07 am
puglet

good morning Sprite--hugs
2:07 am
grannyrose

*able to*
2:07 am
flosey

thanks all - happy babbling
2:07 am
grannyrose

*bounce, bounce* SPRITEY!!!! XXXXXXXXX
2:07 am
sprite

*hugs rose and pugs* Hello my dear friends
2:08 am
worzel

heya sprite xx
2:08 am
sprite

hello worzel
2:08 am
grannyrose

sprite, GP has put me on 1-2 hour shifts. at my unit managers suggestion.
2:09 am
sprite

oh nice! And is that doable for you?
2:10 am
grannyrose

yes, hun, very. it means if i need to sit down, and have time out, like i needed the other day, i can have it.
2:10 am
grannyrose

and that's for the next 4 weeks.
2:10 am
sprite

oh much better then. Well thought through and a very good idea. How do you feel about it?
2:10 am
sprite

pugs, thanks for your funny May card :) Very sweet.
2:11 am
grannyrose

i took the magnesium this AM about 1 hour in, and it did help. nevertheless, by the time i saw the GP i was still very shaky, sweaty, and nauseated.
2:11 am
sprite

which are all signs of overtaxing, rose.
2:11 am
puglet

you are welcome Sprite
2:12 am
grannyrose

sprite, with both the mother's deaths i am about 4 weeks behind in my recovery. i am thinking in 4 weeks, i will be chafing at the bit.
2:12 am
grannyrose

BUT, i promise, i will still only increase my hours when i am able to tolerate them.
2:12 am
puglet

yeah if you make it through the four weeks-:)
2:13 am
sprite

probably, darling. So be ready to pace yourself by then. Let's be honest, 4 weeks to get over 2 deaths is nothing.
2:13 am
grannyrose

oh ho, the pugs has just had a piece of me...lolol
2:13 am
sprite

yes, tolerate them WITHOUT the whole shaking, sweating and being nauseated thing.
2:13 am
puglet

I still think its too soon but Iam no doctor
2:14 am
grannyrose

exactly, sprite. GP was most concerned, and quite understood about the pain triggering the FM.
2:14 am
sprite

I have faith in rose's ability to judge if she is ready, as long as she listens to her body
2:15 am
grannyrose

it's so weird...i don't feel the pain, but when this stuff starts, i take pain med and it goes away. it has to be the pain, surely. if it wasn't, the pain med wouldn't help.
2:15 am
puglet

Sprite, we are talking about Rose! lol--the person that was up washing walls and going shopping way too soon
2:15 am
sprite

*smug* already greyed out the bottom row.
2:16 am
grannyrose

* chuckling to myself* that's exactly what went through my mind when i saw the grid.
2:17 am
sprite

sounds like a bit of dissociation to me, rose. You have been forced for too long to push away the pain and now you don't notice it in time. It will get better if you keep on paying attention to the signals.
2:17 am
sprite

*giggles*
2:17 am
grannyrose

hey pugs, i sat down to wash the walls. and okay, the shopping was a tad out of line.
2:17 am
puglet

Wor's mankini is almost in the grid-lol
2:18 am
sprite

pugs is right about that, rose... be sensible about it and pace yourself. For a second, think and imagine having to go through all this again... right, not worth it.
2:18 am
grannyrose

well put it back pugs, i know where it's been.
2:18 am
sprite

roflollll rose!
2:19 am
grannyrose

gotcha, sprite
2:19 am
sprite

*hugs rose*
2:20 am
puglet

so how are you Sprite--how was the funeral and did you get to rest afterwards
2:20 am
sprite

how are you today, pugs?
2:20 am
grannyrose

well, the pool is closed tomorrow, i get to snooze in if i so desire. oh, and we went down to the moto guzzi dealer yesterday.beautiful bike!
2:21 am
sprite

hahaha pugs, snap
2:22 am
sprite

the funeral was good, a beautiful service with ample space for the grandson to speak and light candles for his grandma. Very touching. Physically way too taxing, but I knew that beforehand. Am gonna rest today, was in too much pa4 yesterday, lol.
2:22 am
puglet

Iam good--yesterday my sugar was the lowest yet--132---had to go to the dietition and then went to a thrift store to get me a couple of pants. Due to the weight loss walking and trying to keep up my others was a p4 --lol
2:22 am
sprite

sounds good, rose. Plans on buying a bike or just windowshopping?
2:23 am
sprite

oh wow pugs, well done on the sugar! And on buying new pants. Wtg!
2:26 am
puglet

LOL--the other day was walking Annapooh and before I knew it my pants had fallen to my knees--glad I was alone out there walking
2:26 am
sprite

oh lololol! About time for new ones then :D
2:27 am
puglet

that what I thought too--lol
2:27 am
puglet

intack
2:27 am
puglet

yikes--sorry
2:27 am
sprite

looks like rose got squirreled away
2:28 am
puglet

potty time
2:28 am
sprite

tsk not even valid. And I tried, just to m ake sure :P
2:28 am
puglet

so you get today to rest and do the things you need for yourself
2:28 am
puglet

lol-I know
2:30 am
sprite

yeah, all I am gonna do today is laundry. My love is home today so I am gonna ask him to take care of walking the dog. My back is killing me, but it was worth it.
2:30 am
puglet

when I first moved here, there was a house at each end of my road and I was in the middle and I use to turn my horse lose and we would walk the road and he would follow like a puppy
2:30 am
sprite

awww that is so sweet
2:31 am
grannyrose

i wish, sprite, pugs. just had the return to work officer on the phone. at least she also is supportive and not pushy.
2:31 am
puglet

thats good Sprite--you need it and my back was killing me too last night--Maybe a hot shower will help your back
2:31 am
sprite

ah ok... that at least is good, rose. So she is supporting your suggestions?
2:32 am
puglet

good Rose--just take care of you!
2:33 am
sprite

maybe, pugs, if I take it sitting down. Standing is a problem today. But sitting is an option, we do have a plastic stool in the bathroom just for that purpose.
2:33 am
grannyrose

yes, she is. and sprite, the moto guzzi has a much lower profile, easier for me to get on and off.
2:33 am
sprite

awesome, rose! I want a picture of you on the bike if you buy it :D
2:33 am
puglet

so what color did you pick out Rose
2:33 am
grannyrose

sprite, and take the magnesium, hun. your kidneys are fine and dandy, aren't they?
2:34 am
sprite

absolutely, rose, nothing wrong with those. I will!
2:34 am
grannyrose

silver-grey and black. we don't have a lot of choice because of the style of bike we are getting.
2:35 am
puglet

we? so don is getting one too or are you both riding the one
2:35 am
sprite

bkes should be black/grey/silver imo. All those gaudy colours are just blech.
2:35 am
grannyrose

we are both riding the one. i'm afraid i can only pillion these days.
2:36 am
puglet

what happen to the hot tub you were wanting
2:37 am
sprite

but riding pillion is so much better than having to stay at home, rose...
2:37 am
puglet

as long as the driver is trustworthy-lol
2:38 am
sprite

I take it that is Don... and he will be careful with his Rose behind him.
2:38 am
grannyrose

oh that's coming too pugs, and the new kitchen, and, and, and. but i want to get over this rehab stuff first.
2:39 am
sprite

am really happy for you that all this is possible now, rose. You deserve the very best :)
2:39 am
sprite

I found a flower :)
2:39 am
puglet

that hot-tub would do wonders for you I think and get all the jet sprayers you can get-lol
2:39 am
grannyrose

don is a wonderful rider, and apparently i'm a good pillion. if we are out riding, all of a sudden his hand comes back, to pat me on the leg, just checking to see if i am still there.
2:40 am
sprite

awww that is sweet. So he claims that is to check if you are still there huh... nice excuse. I love smart men.
2:40 am
puglet

thats sweet Rose
2:40 am
grannyrose

*giggles* sprite. yeah, copping a feel do you think?
2:41 am
sprite

am pretty sure, rose :)
2:42 am
puglet

Sprite, you sound experenced with that-lol
2:42 am
sprite

*grins* Hm yeah, guess I am
2:43 am
puglet

with Rob home today are you sure you are going to just rest? lol
2:43 am
sprite

errrr pretty sure, alas. Too much pa4.
2:43 am
grannyrose

it's nice, though. because you sometimes feel as if you have been forgotten. then we got the intercom. lol. he says it was to stop me from punching him in the ribs everytime we hit a rut.
2:44 am
sprite

roflol rose
2:44 am
grannyrose

poor sprite. it's so difficult for our men folk. i know with don he gets frustrated and angry, because he can't protect me from the pa4
2:44 am
sprite

oh and an artificial sweetener, I think. Nice, that was an 8
2:45 am
sprite

same with my husband, rose. My father better not walk in front of Rob's care. Seriously.
2:46 am
sprite

car*, not care
2:46 am
grannyrose

yes sprite, ma8 is an artificial sweetener, but it piles on the weight because of the way it works.
2:47 am
sprite

I am against all artificial sweeteners. Either use sugar or stevia.
2:47 am
grannyrose

which is why stevia is such a blessing. do you have that over there, sprite, pugs?
2:47 am
sprite

yes, it is finally allowed here.
2:47 am
grannyrose

lolol, snap sprite
2:48 am
puglet

I will have to look Rose--Iam like Sprite on the false stuff
2:50 am
grannyrose

yeah, lots of people don't seem to understand about the artificial stuff. you can tell them and tell them. then you get the ones like my bro, who consumed gallons of diet drink each day, and couldn't work out why he was putting weight on.
2:51 am
puglet

I know Rose--they dont look at the sodiom--which makes the body hold water
2:51 am
grannyrose

when he stopped drinking the diet products, and started drinking the ones sweetened with sugar, because he knew about the sugar, he cut back on the amount, and lost weight.
2:51 am
sprite

it is scary, rose. I have raised my children without any diet stuff. My opinion is that our body doesn't know what to do with the stuff. And we don't know what the consequences are of putting it in our body.
2:52 am
puglet

I feel like the things God made is the best for us
2:52 am
sprite

also, it is becoming more and more clear that our body reacts in a certain way to stuff that tastes sweet, even if it isn't sugar.
2:52 am
grannyrose

well i allow myself one 200ml glass/day. that is my treat. the rest of the time i drink water, fruit juice watered down, and a couple of cups of coffee only.
2:54 am
puglet

My sister is sending me some figs off of her tree--Ive never had them before--these are white ones
2:54 am
sprite

coffee, water, mineral water, and fruit juice watered down with mineral water. Oh, something you might try, it is refreshing: a couple of cucumber slices in mineral water or ice water.
2:55 am
sprite

figs are wonderful, pugs.
2:55 am
grannyrose

oh dear. poor don has just thrown up, outside. he said he just ca4 over all hot, and vomited. he only has pain in his shoulder, not in his face ( migraine ).
2:55 am
sprite

poor man. No sun stroke?
2:56 am
puglet

ahh poor Don
2:56 am
grannyrose

sounds nice, sprite. the other thing i drink is iced tea, green tea ( lots of ) and i love a good hot, strong cup of earl grey tea.
2:57 am
Lizlin

Hi all :)
2:57 am
sprite

hey Liz :)
2:57 am
puglet

theres lots of animals in this grid today
2:58 am
grannyrose

pugs, those figs will help you with the problem you were writing to me about. you never did get back to me and tell me what happened. tssk, tssk. *giggle*
2:58 am
puglet

Hi Liz, hugs and how are you today
2:58 am
grannyrose

g'day liz
2:58 am
sprite

oh, now that I see Liz, I remember: I have made another puzzle for jigidi, with fire doves. For our friend puglet, but you can all do it if you like, grin.
2:58 am
Lizlin

Hope you are all well - sorry haven't been around much to chat
2:58 am
puglet

all is okay--sorry Rose--I think it was the meds
2:58 am
Lizlin

I did it a couple of days ago - loved it - as I do all your puzzles.
2:58 am
grannyrose

saw that sprite.
2:59 am
Lizlin

How was work today, Rose?
3:00 am
grannyrose

better than tuesday. had the magnesium today. it helped.
3:00 am
sprite

thanks :)
3:01 am
Lizlin

Good - does it feel good to be back or would you rather be at home ;)
3:01 am
Lizlin

Did you have a great time with your friend, Sprite?
3:02 am
sprite

oh yes, Liz, we had a great time :) Am missing her already.
3:02 am
grannyrose

it is good to be back, with all my work friends. *giggle* it took me nearly 15 minutes to leave the other day.
3:02 am
Lizlin

How far does she live from you?
3:02 am
Lizlin

Hanging around after work, chatting, was always the best bit!
3:03 am
Lizlin

Well - I guess that's not strictly true! I did enjoy being with the kids I taught!
3:04 am
Lizlin

OK that surprised me - I'd've spelt the ma 8 with only one n!
3:04 am
puglet

Sprite how far does your friend live from you
3:04 am
sprite

about 200 km pugs
3:04 am
Lizlin

So how often do you get to see her?
3:05 am
puglet

do you ever go spend time at her home
3:05 am
sprite

depends on our schedules, but this time it had been a long time... more than a year.
3:06 am
sprite

sometimes, pugs. Haven't been able to for a long time, but am planning on going sometime this year.
3:06 am
Lizlin

:( - I miss my UK friends, so know that must be hard for you too.
3:08 am
sprite

yeah it is. But she is coming back soon! She is going to come for a whole week this summer, and help us clean the house. We have quite a backlog on that, so it is awesome :D
3:08 am
Lizlin

That's awesome - something really good to look forward to.
3:09 am
sprite

it is :D
3:09 am
puglet

thats really nice of her to do
3:10 am
sprite

isn't it? I appreciate it so much.
3:10 am
Lizlin

How much cleaning will get done in between the chatting though???? Well, that's another matter!
3:11 am
sprite

hehehe that is what she said, and she said she is going to do one project every morning, and then we can chat in the afternoon and evening.
3:11 am
Lizlin

BTW still haven't ruled out a day trip to Amsterdam!
3:11 am
sprite

oh gooooood! Would LOVE to see you.
3:11 am
Lizlin

I'll e mail you nearer the time.
3:12 am
sprite

looks like we won't go on vacation this year, so I will be here.
3:12 am
Lizlin

As long as I don't clash with your friend!
3:13 am
sprite

if so, I will try and meet up with you in the morning, grin
3:13 am
Lizlin

:)
3:14 am

not weird at all ruby. My beloved used to have world war 2 while growing up under her mums roof but as soon as we got married, and she moved away, they became best of friends
6:47 am
rubyfoo

Her ife is awful. Caring for a huband who won't get out of bed, requires 24/7 care, and won't speak to her. She calls herself "the management" from organizing all the aides
6:48 am
crosshair

refuses to get out of bed, or cannot get out of bed?
6:48 am

ruby, that is awful.
6:48 am

Refuses. Isns't really sick, just nutso

He is charming with the aides and won't speak to her

Unfortunately, she has no choice
6:49 am

How are you Jacula? Haven't seen you in a long time (might be my fault; have had a bunch of computer and internet problems this past several months)
6:01 pm
Jacula

I don't come to the chog very often, Nef, so that's probably why we haven't met lately. Sorry to hear about your IT problems. I'm well and I hope you and yours are, too?
6:02 pm
Nef

We are doing good right now. Son's divorce was finalized on Tuesday, he and our grandson live with us now; Hubbywasn't doing well the beginning of the year but is 95% better again
6:02 pm

Ooh! I just found an eg8/55.
6:03 pm
Jacula

Nef - Hope hubby is fully better soon and that you all settle down together okay. x
6:07 pm
Nef

DH is doing as well as expected since he doesn't always listen to his doctors or his wife. ;-) Seriously, he's been diagnosed with M.S. for 26 years now; and has outlived his mother (who also had M.s.) and he still walks most of the time
6:08 pm
Jacula

That's good, Nef. Sounds like he's doing well.
6:08 pm
Nef

How's life treating you and yours these days?
6:09 pm
Nef

(BTW, thanks for the eg 8 clue!)
6:11 pm

We're fine thanks, Nef. Beloved had an awful food poisoning bug a couple of months ago that laid him low for a couple of weeks. He lost 21 pounds in about 4 days. He's well again now, though.
6:11 pm
Nef

Did he regain the weight (that's a heck of a diet!)
6:12 pm

nef, your husband sounds like mine!
6:12 pm

I don't think he's put it all back on (yet) but his face looks a little less drawn than it did.

really, jaxx? In the not following all his medical advice? Or the M.S.?

jaxx7

and in doing the same with their wife's advice
6:14 pm
Nef

Men can get so sick so fast; and lose and keep the weight off. Women seem to always add a few extra pounds once they get well (in my humble opinion)
6:15 pm
Jacula

True, Nef. :(
6:15 pm
Nef

agreed. Life would be so easy if they could follow directions! :-)
6:16 pm
jaxx7

probably why male babies are 52% of the birth statistics. They are not as tough as females.
6:17 pm
Jacula

Follow directions?? They won't even ask for directions most of the time! LOL
6:17 pm
Nef

Of course, I'm now living with 3 generations of men none of whom listen
6:18 pm
jaxx7

It is something to do with losing control
6:18 pm
Jacula

Good thing you've got us to talk to then, Nef! LOL
6:18 pm
Nef

LOL!

6:19 pm
Nef

Hi Jilly. How are you?
6:19 pm
Jacula

Hi Jillyjill. Did I spot something about it being your birthday recently?
6:19 pm
Jillyjill

Sorta like you...surviving
6:20 pm
Jillyjill

Oh Jacula...yes, did not like to see the number 56!
6:21 pm
Jacula

Belated happies, Jillyjill. You didn't like to see 56? How do you think I felt about seeing 57 on 22nd of last month? :)
6:21 pm
Nef

JIlly, I've lived by the phiolsophy of "one day at a time" for many years; (sometimes it's one second at a time though…)
6:21 pm
Nef

LOL, Jilly! That isn't a horrid number
6:21 pm
Jillyjill

Or one foot in front of the other...
6:21 pm
jaxx7

My husband has DISH where the soft tissue becomes calcified. he has recently had an op for a torn cartilage in his left knee. The doc said no driving for 6-8 weeks and it is taking me all my time, after less than 3, to keep him out of that car.
6:21 pm
Jillyjill

LOL jacula...bout like I will next year?
6:21 pm
Jacula

Nef - I know what you me4/5. Life's like that sometimes... unfortunately. x
6:22 pm
Jacula

Jillyjill - Guess so!
6:22 pm
Nef

Well, Happy birthday you 2! Grandson turns 5 tomorrow and *I* turn Medicare age the day after!
6:22 pm
mkg

i cant get the ne 9. need more help. i thought negotiator. dont see it.
6:22 pm
Jacula

jaxx - Remove the steering wheel. That'll stop him!
6:23 pm
jaxx7

it ends with the picnic pest
6:23 pm
Nef

mkg, try the last 3 letters are a picnic pest
6:23 pm
Jacula

mkg - You're nearly there. End it with a picnic pest.
6:23 pm
jaxx7

he feels a little better so.....
6:24 pm
mkg

got it. well i never ever heard that word before and doubt it is real. i hate the dictionary for this grid.
6:24 pm
mkg

ty for clues. i have eg 8 but need other 8 please.
6:24 pm
Jillyjill

LOL...reminds me of a good friend. Her hubby was a brittle diabetic, had lost both legs and was recovering from a serious infection. Not supposed to drive....she took his prosthesises away!
6:25 pm
Nef

jaxx, put the keys somewhere he can't find them
6:25 pm
Jacula

mkg - ma8/45
6:25 pm
Jillyjill

ma8=chemistry alcohol
6:25 pm
Nef

Wonderful, Jilly!
6:26 pm
jaxx7

I could take his crutches and walking sticks away. Knowing how stubborn he is I would probably finding him shuffling down the front steps on his bum!
6:26 pm
Jacula

Jillyjill - LOL. Literally left him legless.
6:27 pm
Jacula

jaxx - No doubt he would! Men are stubborn like that.
6:27 pm
Nef

Is he still on crutches? Then NO, he shouldn't be driving. Where the heck does he think he has to go anyway?
6:27 pm
Nef

(Maybe pa4/9 the car 2 blocks away?)
6:27 pm
jaxx7

he wants to go pike fishing!
6:28 pm
Jacula

Oh, I can just see him landing a big fish when he can't stand properly yet! *Rolls eyes*
6:29 pm
Jillyjill

Ironic, that was my friend's husbands passion..darn fishermen!
6:29 pm
jaxx7

There's the rub - I don't drive. A long story that involves him taking the wheel off me when I was learning to drive
6:29 pm
Nef

(Good thing welki isn't here to hear us!)
6:30 pm
jaxx7

Not only that but the place he wants to fish is 100 miles away and in the country with all rough ground
6:31 pm
Jacula

jaxx - He needs his brain checking! LOL
6:31 pm
Jillyjill

phone...brb
6:31 pm
Nef

I agree with Jac on the brain exam!
6:31 pm
jaxx7

But would he take any notice if the doc declared he hasn't got one?
6:32 pm
Jacula

Probably not, jaxx!
6:33 pm
jaxx7

so the struggle to inject common sense goes on. eh?
6:33 pm
Jacula

Yup!
6:35 pm
Nef

Sorry, need to go for a bit; be back in 20 minutes or so
6:35 pm
jaxx7

I have slowed down so much on the word finds - and not just because I have been chatting - that I am beginning to feel like giving up tonight
6:35 pm

6:35 pm
Jacula

'Bye Nef.
6:35 pm
Enomis65

OOPS SORRY! and hi... (blushes)
6:35 pm
Jacula

jaxx - just do as much as is comfortable. It's not a competition. xx
6:36 pm
Jacula

Hi Enomis.
6:36 pm
Enomis65

I was trying to be quiet... guess it didn't work. :)
6:37 pm
Jacula

Enomis, at least it wasn't a grid word or a rude word that you shouted. :D
6:37 pm
Enomis65

true!
6:37 pm
jaxx7

Hi, Enomis. Quite an entrance for someone trying to be quiet. lol
6:37 pm
Jillyjill

Hi enomis!
6:37 pm
Enomis65

How is everybody?
6:38 pm
Jacula

We're chatting and Babbling, and talking about men.
6:38 pm
jaxx7

We have just put the world to rights on the male sex
6:38 pm
Enomis65

ooooohhhhh.... I have to go back to the chat and get up to speed!
6:39 pm

Thanks folks! x
6:41 pm
Jacula

Can I help anyone before I wander off?
6:41 pm
Enomis65

yes! can you clue the9?
6:42 pm
Jacula

Some one who might sort out the terms of a contract, Enomis. Ends not with a rocky outcrop but with a picnic pest.
6:43 pm
Enomis65

6:43 pm

it has taken a long time to perfect that clue!

you could say it took a lot of ne********
6:47 pm
Jacula

You could, jaxx! :)
6:49 pm
Jacula

Would you believe that the last word I found was a simple ta4/4 (open pastry case with fruit in it or a loose woman)? *Sighs*
6:49 pm
Jacula

I don't mean the loose woman was in the pastry, btw. :)
6:49 pm
periwinkle

haha
6:49 pm

I have problems seeing the word tree whenever it is in a grid
6:50 pm

6:50 pm

They can be in a cake though.
6:51 pm
Enomis65

or in a pickle?
6:51 pm
Jacula

They ca, jaxx. LOL
6:51 pm
Jacula

I never see the word 'neice' when it's in the grid.
6:52 pm
Jacula

Funny how we all have blind spots, isn't it?
6:52 pm
jaxx7

No, ecomis, that's me. I am always in a pickle. It is senility catching up with me
6:52 pm
Jacula

EEK! I also often spell 'niece' wrongly!
6:52 pm
Jillyjill

Well, I never read well to the left...
6:53 pm
Lizlin

Good morning all :)
6:53 pm
Jacula

Good morning, Lizlin. How are you today?
6:53 pm
jaxx7

Hi, Liz
6:54 pm
Jillyjill

Or the ones I call around sqaure, where the word wraps around itself
6:54 pm
Jillyjill

Hello lizzlin!!
6:54 pm
Lizlin

Fine thanks - but cold! Autumn has finally hit here! Not cold temps by your standards though!
6:54 pm
Lizlin

Happy belated birthday, Jilly. Saw that when I first looked at babble, when I woke up!
6:55 pm
jaxx7

Judging by today's weather Autumn has never left here
6:55 pm
Jacula

Not cold at all by UK or USA standards, Liz! It's Spring here and should be warming up soon. Should being the operative word...
6:55 pm
Lizlin

Maybe you'll jump straight to summer without spring! Hope it warms up before we get there!
6:56 pm
jaxx7

I felt sorry for all those folk in Padstow doing the 'obby 'oss in all that rain
6:56 pm
Jacula

To the UK, Liz? Make sure to bring a brolley and some wellies. :)
6:56 pm
Jacula

jaxx - are you in Cornwall, UK?
6:57 pm
jaxx7

and a thick coat
6:57 pm
Lizlin

Always do, Jac! And waterproof trousers and jacket! Walked the N Devon coast path last time and got soaked!
6:57 pm
jaxx7

No, Jacula, in Devon
6:57 pm
Lizlin

Don't forget, I'm from the UK, so know what to expect.
6:57 pm
Jacula

jaxx - We'd better shut up. We'll put the poor woman off coming!
6:58 pm
Jacula

Liz - Maybe you'll bring a heatwave with you?
6:58 pm
Lizlin

No you won't - family and friends to see!
6:58 pm
jaxx7

The past twelve months have been exceptional even for the UK. I am not sure we are even going to get a summer this year
6:58 pm
Lizlin

I'll try to bring some of our clear winter skies with us! Our winter temperatures are pretty much UK summer ones!
6:58 pm
Jacula

Love Devon, jaxx. We go to the place with the exclamation mark (North Devon) every year and spend every other Xmas there.
6:59 pm
Lizlin

Also love the SW peninsular.
6:59 pm
jaxx7

Do you know Teignmouth?
6:59 pm
Jacula

I have been to Teignmouth, jaxx, but don't know it well.
7:00 pm
Lizlin

Afraid not - we went to Devon a lot when i was a kid but last time (my first time back as an adult) we were in N Devon.
7:00 pm
Jacula

It's some years since I was last in South Devon.
7:00 pm
Lizlin

I think S Devon is our plan for next time we come to England.
7:00 pm

The Government are doing their best to spoil it by building houses willy nilly whereever there is a green space.
7:01 pm
harpjane

hello, how is the grid today?
7:01 pm
jaxx7

If you get a chance go to the South Hams
7:01 pm
Lizlin

Hah! Governments everywhere do that. There's a beautiful river not too far from here and they're doing the same thing.
7:01 pm
Jacula

jaxx - The folk in W/Ho! feel the same, especially when they're arty farty luxury flats out of the price range of youngsters who might want to stay where they grew up.
7:02 pm
Jacula

Hi harp.
7:02 pm
Lizlin

Hi harp.
7:03 pm
Jillyjill

hello harp...beautiful day wasn't it!?
7:03 pm
jaxx7

The last time I protested anything was in the 1970s when they wanted to build a breakwater hundreds of yards out to sea but I have been militant over the new schemes for Teignmouth.
7:03 pm
Jacula

jaxx - Did you know that Michael Jackson was going to buy a house in Appledore at one time? I was horrified, thinking of the gawpers it would bring. Luckily, he didn't in the end.
7:04 pm
jaxx7

I didn't know that, Jacula. What a horrible thought.
7:04 pm
Lizlin

Glad he didn't. It's a lovely town.
7:04 pm
Jacula

jaxx - What do you think of all these wind turbines popping up all over the place. The Atlantic Array (as it was poetically called) has been shelved for now. Thank God!

I was having a similar conversation with Worzel who hails from Exeter. Lovely little towns and villages are being swamped by houses that all look the same so you don't know which place you are in at any one time.

is the 9 a compound word?
7:07 pm

7:07 pm
Lizlin

No, it's not Harp
7:07 pm
jaxx7

We have one solitary wind turbine on Haldon Moor and when we had the gales it blew down!
7:07 pm
Jacula

jaxx - the same is happening on all the high streets. Independant shops being squeezed out by chain stores. You could be in any town anywhere in UK and find all the same bloomin' shops.
7:07 pm
Mary

ca6/24 car part + to allow
7:08 pm
Jacula

LOL re the Haldon Moor wind turbine, jaxx. I went up to Scotland for the first time last year and was sad to see the things marring the views on hills up there.
7:08 pm
Lizlin

Thanks, Mary
7:08 pm
jaxx7

Teignmouth is awash with Charity shops and coffee shops
7:08 pm
Jacula

It's not even proven that they're that effective!
7:09 pm
jaxx7

Try Taunton, jacula, they seem to have staved off a lot of the chain stores.
7:10 pm
harpjane

is ne 9 a compound word?
7:10 pm
Lizlin

We have friends, who live in Taunton - they love it there.
7:10 pm
Jacula

jaxx - charity shops abound where empty shops are rented short term because the businesses original in them failed or couldn't afford the rocketing rents. In the high street in our small village we have 7 charity shops and 13 food outlets at last count.
7:10 pm
jaxx7

Go to Cornwall if you want wind farms. Field after field full of them. The new craze is solar panels and around Tiverton they seem the device of the day.
7:11 pm
Jacula

harp - no ne9 is not a compound word. See my clue from earlier.
7:11 pm
harpjane

ok thanks jac
7:12 pm
Jacula

jaxx - used to visit a friend in Saltash when we were down in North Devon, not too far to go, but we've lost touch recently, so we haven't been over the border lately.
7:12 pm
jaxx7

They don't seem very temporary in Teignmouth. Some of the Charity shops have been in the same place for decdes
7:13 pm
jaxx7

decades, even
7:13 pm
Jacula

jaxx - some of our charity shops have been there for decades, too, but there has been a rash of new ones in recent times. £1 shops are the other thing that spring up in empty shops.
7:14 pm
jaxx7

The last time I was in Saltash it seemed to be nothing but roadworks
