2:34 am

worzel

Goooooooooood morning fellow Babblers xx

2:35 am

grannyrose

bye saanichcat. and g'day worzel. i feel better now, so watch it, mate.

2:36 am

worzel

Mum I am so glad to hear it xx I'm not feeling so bad myself today - it's a lovely sunny day and I plan, later, to do some more gardening xx

2:37 am

grannyrose

oh, worzel. ditto her, mate. we had the most divine day of sunsfine for the second day in a row. my roses are starting to look so much better. and i finally got the grape vine out of the camellia.

2:38 am

worzel

Bugger me! I just got nbt in about 2 minutes!!!! Must be my all-time fastest!!!

2:38 am

grannyrose

wow, worzel, well done you

2:39 am

grannyrose

and dad is having such fun organising the garage. correct me if i'm wrong....but this looks like a project which will take several years?

2:39 am

worzel

Talking of gardening Di's getting so upset. We both planted various things between us - veggies - and mine are the better of the stock. Sadly something seems to be taking nibbles from hers, but they aren't touching my cauliflowers and cabbages which is unusual as they are usually the first veggies to be attacked. Talking of untidy does he want to fly over and sort out the cupboards under my stairs? pmsl

2:40 am

grannyrose

hang on a tick....my house fi5, mate. we still have to start the kitchen.

2:40 am

worzel

Crikey! Just got the nine!!!

2:41 am

2:43 am

worzel

yay nbs nbt in less than 5 minutes!!!! whoot whoot!!! ta ma xx

2:43 am

grannyrose

whoot whoot!!!

2:46 am

worzel

Had a lovely email from one of the players - no names - but they - like you - have faith in me Mum and we kinda wrinkled out a few problems with regards to some sh*t about some guy called neil (?) and something to do with AIDS. If I'm honest I cannot understand how some people get off. Firstly this is not the kind of place to be telling people crap like that, and secondly whether it was true or not what they said about themselves what possible interest could it be to anybody who wants to have fun on this site? Anyway, that's my rant over for today. Suffice it to say to all those people lurking out there who think I may be this "Neil/Neal" and that my GIRLFRIEND Di is another bloke who assisted me, get a life, and, also, if you REALLY have issues with me then EMAIL ME - my addys in my profile - ALONG WITH MY HONESTY! Rant over, love you all xx

2:47 am

sprite

good morning all

2:47 am

worzel

Morning Sprite hun x

2:48 am

sprite

hello worzel

2:49 am

worzel

If I type in FOUR one more time I'm gonna tear my hair out!!!

2:50 am

sprite

that is called a phantom. We can clearly see it and try it all the time, but it isn't actually in the grid. Very bugging.

2:50 am

worzel

And I hope my earlier tirade hasn't upset anybody, it wasn't intended to it's just that some people are finally starting to hurt me so I thought I'd lay my heart on my sleeve, cards on the table or whatever euphemism you want xx

2:52 am

sprite

not upset, just careful. Once burned twice shy and all that. Am not at all sure that neil is on the level and yes, I have wondered about you as well.

2:53 am

grannyrose

helloooo sprite...hugs and kisses dear. are you good today, sweetheart?

2:53 am

sprite

hello my darling, no I am not. Nothing major, just a bad start of the day and a girl with a broken heart.

2:54 am

sprite

and you yourself? Pain even less?

2:54 am

grannyrose

oh, not caya......

2:54 am

worzel

That's understandable sprite I don't have any problems with people wondering about me, as long as they don't spread much about me without my knowing first. As I said I am totally honest. The only thing I WOULD like someone to explain to me is how/why people are making a connection between me and him? Are ALL new players under suspicion or have I done something in particular?

2:54 am

sprite

yes... will email you about it. Heartrending.

2:54 am

worzel

*muck

2:54 am

grannyrose

yes, pain less. slightly stiff as i actually made to hydro this morning.

2:56 am

grannyrose

okay, sprite. will try to be patient. * tapping toes, AND drumming fingers* not to be pushy or anything...

2:57 am

grannyrose

and sprite, i got out into the garden again today. my roses are quivering in anticipation. and the grape vine is no longer strangling the camellia.

2:57 am

sprite

worzel, I think your extreme enthusiasm and familiarity with strangers set off some alarm bells. With me for sure. And then your IP was traced back to the same town as that of the imposter JC/Nancyboy/Frank/etc and those odds are a bit staggering.

2:57 am

sprite

oh wow, rose! Well done on the hydro, and am so glad you could do a bit in the garden. I hope you paced yourself.

2:59 am

grannyrose

sprite, i did sweetie. as soon as i felt the fi5 niggles in the back, i came inside and sat quietly.

2:59 am

worzel

There are lots of people playing in Liverpool UK - at least five that I know of. TBH I wish somebody could actually trace the HOME address of this "Neil" and then MY home address as it's really starting to get me down now. So much so that I may stop playing because no matter what I say people - well, some people, aren't going to believe me

2:59 am

sprite

very good, rose! That is the ticket, listening to the signs of your body. *hugs* from me for being so awesome.

3:01 am

grannyrose

worzel, you are bigger than this, dear. rise above it like the phoenix, mate. i have suffered the slings and arrows of some pretty nasty people, and i am still here

3:01 am

sprite

worzel, if you are on the level, just keep playing and chatting and it will pass. Because nothing will happen that will confirm the suspicions.

3:01 am

worzel

I guess so Mum - like they say "Stick and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me" . . .

3:01 am

sprite

I have been shot at and bitched on here too. Not always undeserved too, maybe.

3:01 am

sprite

lol

3:02 am

worzel

Well, I'd just like to thank you both - along with a few others (who know who they are) for listening to me. Anyway, I'm going for a ciggie and will see you in a few xx *mini-poof*

3:03 am

sprite

anyway, worzel, the imposter was/is in it for the drama and the attention. If no dramas unfold from you, suspicion will cease.

3:03 am

grannyrose

exactly, worzel. everyone is entitled to their opinion. i am a christian, which does not make me perfect. and i believe in God. BUT i will not interfere with what others believe. they are adults, and can make their own decisions.

3:04 am

sprite

I know, I know, everybody is entitled to my own opinion

3:04 am

grannyrose

sprite...*shocked look on face* you deserving of shots and bitching? never!!

3:05 am

grannyrose

roflol....sprite, you are too much. love you girl.

3:05 am

sprite

mwah back in the days I could go on and on about something bad that happened to me. Ptsd will do that to ya, lol. So people got exasperated at me and they were right.

3:06 am

sprite

love you right back, rose. Shall I pop on on Google chat?

3:07 am

grannyrose

np's sprite. when you are ready, just let me know.

3:07 am

sprite

am on google chat now, if you want

3:22 am

worzel

yoohoo! back again!

3:27 am

puglet

3:27 am

agzam2

3:28 am

worzel

oooo a nice bacon sarnie if you're offering . . .

3:28 am

agzam2

sarnie ? o_0

3:28 am

sprite

am ok. Drinking coffee and enjoying it immensely, lol.

3:28 am

worzel

pugs I am fine today ty and how's your good self?

3:28 am

worzel

sarnie is English slang for sandwich lol

3:29 am

grannyrose

yay, pugs, that's the news i wanna hear. so pleased for you, hun

3:29 am

agzam2

lol .. gotcha

3:29 am

grannyrose

g'day, agzam

3:29 am

sprite

I like learning english slang

3:29 am

agzam2

hello rose

3:30 am

puglet

I got a little help from someone and It has helped abunch on the depression

3:30 am

worzel

Sprite we have some extremely odd slang words in this country. Mind you, slang in itself isn't really the word I would use - they're more like abbreviations. For proper slang you really need to look at the cockney language of London x

3:30 am

worzel

Another english word for sandwich is buttie

3:30 am

sprite

oh how wonderful, pugs. You really deserve a bit of help!

3:31 am

sprite

yeah but cockney is a whole other language. They do the oddest things. Like using a word because it rhymes with the word they actually mean.

3:31 am

grannyrose

oh, are we talking about my favourite food? bacon sandwiches, sarnies, or a hot chip buttie...omg, i want one, right one!!

3:32 am

agzam2

buttie doesn't sound like something I'd want to eat

3:32 am

sprite

oooo I don't know about that, agzam. I know my love has a buttie I loveeee to eat!

3:32 am

agzam2

rofl

3:33 am

grannyrose

roflol, sprite....and don's is right there...lol

3:33 am

worzel

Yes. Having lived in London for a few years you also notice that the slang they use their is usually abbreviated itself. For example a "titfer" is a hat, and it derives from tit for tat. Someone described as wearing a whistle is wearing a suit - or whistle and flute. And so on, and so on . . .

3:33 am

sprite

I'll gladly look away for a few secs so you can take a bite, rose...

3:33 am

grannyrose

from don's or...

3:33 am

sprite

down, girl! Don'

3:34 am

agzam2

lol

3:34 am

sprite

Don's of course! Rob's is mineeeeee.... ALLLL mine!

3:34 am

grannyrose

darn!! thought a new opportunity had opened, so to speak.

3:34 am

worzel

Think I'm missing out on something interesting here. Are we talking about bums?

3:34 am

agzam2

lmao

3:35 am

agzam2

look what you started worzel :p

3:35 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, worzel. wanna st5 in line?? probably not, seeing as we are old farts...

3:35 am

worzel

Me? Innocent and pure little me???

3:35 am

sprite

that's what you get for saying a buttie doesn't sound as something you'd like to eat, agzam :)

3:36 am

agzam2

something tells me the "innocent and pure" part is a bit of an exaggeration

3:36 am

worzel

Mum age is just a number! I appreciate all bums. Not, of course, that I know anything about bums. As I said, I'm all young (?) and innocent (?) and pure (?) and other crap like that pmsl xx

3:36 am

agzam2

lol .. sprite .. it was worzel .. he got me speaking slang or something

3:36 am

grannyrose

i used to kiss my boys bums, and their knees...am i some sort of pervert? the dimples in both used to make me want to kiss them.

3:37 am

sprite

my guess is it is nostalgic, agzam. Like in a lonnnng time ago.

3:37 am

worzel

Dear lord Babble just ate my last message!!!

3:37 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

3:37 am

sprite

hell no, rose, that is normal. As long as they were kids back then and no adults, lol.

3:37 am

worzel

ooo no it didn't - there it is lol

3:37 am

agzam2

lol sprite

3:37 am

grannyrose

hey!! who calling a lonnng time ago?

3:37 am

agzam2

hi liz

3:37 am

worzel

Morning Liz xx

3:38 am

sprite

hi Liz :)

3:38 am

puglet

Hugs and Hi Liz

3:38 am

grannyrose

g'day liz. wanna join the chog about bums?

3:38 am

sprite

rose: worzel's being innocent and pure

3:38 am

worzel

Now that's something that's always fascinated me. A man can look at a woman's bum with excitement because things can be done about it, but what excites a woman about a man's bum?

3:38 am

grannyrose

yeah, right!! to positives which mean a negative...lolol

3:39 am

sprite

shape, texture, surface tension. Anticipation of running hands and other parts over it.

3:39 am

agzam2

what sprite said

3:39 am

Lizlin

Sounds good to me :)

3:39 am

grannyrose

worzel, what's on the opposite side?? after what we have done as sprite suggested...

3:40 am

worzel

I suppose, not having lady parts, I wouldn't understand the excitement that can be gained from rubbing against it. As a man, with man parts, it's easier to understand. I sometimes wish I had a lady's part just for one day so I could see what all the fuss is about! Mind you, Di says she'd love to have a willy!!!

3:41 am

sprite

btw, am going stir crazy here atm... they are drilling out the joints between the bricks of the houses in our row... removing the old mortar. Have had this drilling in my head for days now. And today is the house next to ours. Whaaaaaa!

3:41 am

grannyrose

omg, worzel!!! you are sooo naughty. and yay to diane

3:42 am

sprite

I have a willy. It may be attached to my love, but it is still mine. *smug*

3:42 am

Lizlin

Ow!

3:42 am

grannyrose

ugh, sprite. put in you ear buds and play your favourite music, sweetit

3:42 am

agzam2

lmao

3:42 am

worzel

I used to be naughty - I've grown up now (and if you believe that you'll believe anything)

3:42 am

Lizlin

Poor sprite

3:42 am

worzel

sweetit mum?? lmao

3:42 am

sprite

can't, darling rose. ptsd and all that. Way too frightening not to be able to hear what goes on around me.

3:43 am

grannyrose

okay, a faux pas...* sweetie *

3:43 am

grannyrose

oh, duh me. of course.

3:43 am

sprite

*giggles* Short for don't sweat it sweetie

3:44 am

worzel

I found out something interesting yesterday. De Ja Vous has an opposite called Jemai Vous. Can't guarantee I've spelt all that correctly, but there you go!

3:44 am

grannyrose

interesting worzel

3:44 am

Lizlin

Never heard of that one.

3:44 am

agzam2

uh huh ... continue worzel

3:45 am

Lizlin

How are you today,

3:45 am

Lizlin

Rose

3:45 am

sprite

déja vu and jamais vu. Seen before and never seen.

3:45 am

agzam2

o_0

3:45 am

worzel

Well, as you know, de ja vous (or however it's spelt, I can't be arsed to Google it) is the feeling that something is familiar. Jemai vous (or whatever) is the feeling that something isn't familiar although it should be

3:46 am

sprite

sprite. Better than google.

3:46 am

grannyrose

space in there... je mais vu

3:46 am

worzel

Thank you Sprite xx I'm going to change my homepage from Google to Sprite - will probably have better search results from now on lol

3:47 am

sprite

no, rose. Jamais vu. Jamais = never.

3:47 am

grannyrose

liz, feeling good. made it to hydro. just a little stiff.

3:47 am

worzel

And thanks Mum for pointing out my faults teehee xx

3:47 am

Lizlin

Glad to hear that Rose. And how about you worz? Feeling better?

3:47 am

grannyrose

as only a mother will do, dear

3:48 am

sprite

name that proper noun, famous dame who calls everybody possum.

3:48 am

worzel

Aww Liz ty hun I'm feeling loads better. As I said b4 it was probably just down to something I ate, but thank you all for your concern xx Like I said, just bad food - you're not getting rid of me that easily with lol

3:49 am

Lizlin

Glad about that, worz. Shame when lovely food leaves you feeling bad.

3:49 am

worzel

3:50 am

Lizlin

Your mum is awesome, as is google sprite ;)

3:50 am

grannyrose

so long as it's not ding-a ling, i am okay with that...*grinning*

3:50 am

sprite

lol Liz, thanks :) Glad someone read my informative posts!

3:51 am

worzel

And it's no joke! Mind you, they do say the virgin's is a wise-crack . . .

3:51 am

sprite

not touching Don's ding-a-ling

3:51 am

worzel

soooo cannot believe I went there! sorry!!

3:51 am

grannyrose

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I wonder if they're having a problem with fires in TX, too, agzam. I worry about that every year with my son there

4:08 am

not surprising, ruby. Take it easy today.

4:08 am

grannyrose

poor ruby. i know sweetie. trying to do it all on your own. * sigh *

it was the neighbor's dog .. got out of the gate when the owner was pulling his car out

4:12 am

puglet

oh, I didnt see that part Ag

4:13 am

grannyrose

it was an amazing clip. reminded me of our cat...he used to hide under the car...and when stray dogs wandered down our drive, he would leap out, jump on their back, and ride them up the drive.

4:14 am

sprite

lol, gotta love cats

4:15 am

grannyrose

the kid was very fortunate. and the cat was heroic...i'm with sprite...gotta love cats

4:20 am

sprite

oh rose, that is always so sad

4:20 am

grannyrose

4:20 am

agzam2

4:22 am

sprite

indeed, rose.

4:22 am

puglet

Iam like you Rose, I hate seeing things like that happen

4:22 am

grannyrose

yvw darling

4:26 am

grannyrose

np's ruby

4:26 am

sprite

yes rose. Plus that it takes a lot of craftmanship to restore old buildings. They literally don't build like they used to.

4:27 am

grannyrose

exactly, sprite. and that craftmanship is dieing out.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

In Annecy they are tearing down the old Savoie-style houses, one-by-one, and putting up small fncy apartment blocks 4 to 8 apts.

4:27 am

sprite

it is, and when they can come by it, it is very expensive.

4:27 am

grannyrose

ugh, ruby. not a nice prospect at all.

4:28 am

grannyrose

which is why i love the program...restoration home...where they restore an old building, and live in it.

4:28 am

sprite

lol... cryptic clue for the un6/30-7/44 combo... de-liberate(s)

6:38 am

rubyfoo

If it ever get warm (doubtful), I'll bathe her with baby shampoo and try to get out the nasty bits

6:43 am

rubyfoo

the wind actually dries things out so I have to brave the wind and water stuff

6:43 am

rubyfoo

Ridiculous

6:43 am

bichon

And the rain continues here in CT. No end in sight

6:44 am

MollyL

Yes, we are at FloodCon 1 here, and it's very cool.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

Are you battened down and sandbagged Molly?

6:45 am

MollyL

Nope, puddle jumping : )

Lawn? hahah. My sister sent me an article on moss ggardens and that sounds like a good idea

6:46 am

Wolvie

:D

6:48 am

crosshair

i am so happy to see anything green and growing, I do not care how high the grass gets. If i need to, I will borrow some threshing equipment from the farmer down the road and make bales of the stuff

6:48 am

MollyL

But seriously, it's like that opening scene in "It" around here, so I'm staying away from the storm drains.

6:49 am

crosshair

we alllll float down here...

6:49 am

bichon

Give the bales to Scrabbler. She can feed it to the house bunnies

6:49 am

Wolvie

lol crossy- there is that.

6:49 am

rubyfoo

Afraid a slimy hand will reach out and grab your ankle?

6:49 am

Wolvie

6:51 am

crosshair

howdy, sukee

6:51 am

car.eeyore

Hi Sukee

6:51 am

rubyfoo

<-- doesn't like clowns even without the movie

6:51 am

MollyL

Ruby, do a Google search on Pennywise. It will scare you silly.

6:51 am

Wolvie

never read the book ruby? much better than the film :-)

6:51 am

crosshair

book is always better

6:52 am

Wolvie

true crossy :-)

6:52 am

rubyfoo

time to read the paper. Bye kiddos

6:52 am

MollyL

I am always intrigued by people with the fear of clowns.

6:52 am

crosshair

but it is a large book. well over 1100 pages as i recall

6:52 am

bichon

Especially when it comes to Stephen King. Although the movie Misery was pretty good

6:52 am

sukee

Although, with To Kill a Mockingbird they were pretty equal.

6:52 am

MollyL

To Kill A Mockingbird was an outstanding film.

6:52 am

movieman

The book 'Jurassic Park' was better than the movie

6:53 am

movieman

I've re4 it at least twenty times

6:53 am

Wolvie

the book was even better tho Molly- to me

6:53 am

crosshair

orange is the new black was a ho-hum sort of book and forrest gump was a terrible book as well

6:53 am

Wolvie

and sukee :-)

6:53 am

bichon

Remember when cloning was such a wild idea

6:53 am

Wolvie

hi movieman

6:54 am

crosshair

I wonder whatever happened to Dolly, the cloned lamb?

6:54 am

Wolvie

yes- King is hard to translate to film- books in general are very good. to me anyway :-) even if long like Crossy mentions

6:54 am

Wolvie

lol

6:54 am

movieman

I still have a copy of 'Jurassic Park' I bought 15 years ago....it's so tatty and dog-eared

6:55 am

bichon

Dolly died young, but I think that other cloned animal did better

6:55 am

crosshair

i have not been very impressed with his latest books;(

6:55 am

MollyL

I heard Dolly turned to cocaine and bad rams after her popularity fizzled.

6:55 am

Wolvie

i am behind on the new ones i have to say- which one disappointed you the most crossy?

6:55 am

bichon

Kings last book is very good

6:55 am

crosshair

sigh.. the stars always end up a personal train wreck

6:56 am

MollyL

I really hate to say this, but King wrote better when he was drinking.

6:56 am

crosshair

which one you referring to, bichon?

6:56 am

crosshair

he did, indeed, molly

6:56 am

Wolvie

i think i have piffed off crossy somehow- sorry for whatever it was

6:57 am

crosshair

no, you have not, wolvies

6:57 am

MollyL

Man, I hate it when someone piffs me off : D

6:57 am

crosshair

why do you think that? all is fine

6:57 am

bichon

"Doctor Sleep" is a continuation of "The Shining"

6:57 am

Wolvie

i bet you do molly ;-)

6:57 am

crosshair

i did not care for dr. sleep. I may try it again.

6:57 am

Wolvie

"1963" is very good too

6:58 am

crosshair

Wolvie

6:58 am

bichon

crosshair

under the dome was really bad imho

6:58 am

crosshair

11/22/63 is one i loved

6:58 am

MollyL

I'm just glad they made a mini-series out of Under The Dome because I could not get through that book to save my life, and I have been reading King since Carrie.

6:59 am

bichon

I agree crossy, but I started watching the TV version and I quit halfway through the first episode

6:59 am

crosshair
