2:28 am

grannyrose

ROFLOLLL sorry honey. i forgot to use tepid water. {{hugs}} and good morning sweetheart

2:29 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend, how was your day? And bummer on using too hot water. Someone as experienced as you should know better!

2:30 am

grannyrose

better thanx. your vibes reached me this time. slept right through to 6am.

2:31 am

sprite

thank God. I am so so glad. It was draining you. *hugs*

2:31 am

grannyrose

don and i went out for a devonshire tea at a tiny little cafe/restaurant tucked away in the hills.

2:32 am

sprite

oh how lovely

2:32 am

grannyrose

i wanted to go out and 'play' in the garden when we came home but don said NO.

2:33 am

sprite

goooood man Don!

2:33 am

sprite

it is either/or, sweetie, not and-and. Going out for lunch equals not playing in the garden.

2:34 am

grannyrose

HEY!!! whose side are you on?? don't answer, i know exactly what you are going to say.

2:34 am

sprite

same side as Don. Yours.

2:36 am

grannyrose

nicely put. xoxox

2:36 am

sprite

*hugss*

2:39 am

grannyrose

sooo, how was your yesterday and last night?

2:40 am

sprite

low key yesterday, very much in pain. Slept a little better though, which helped. Dreamt badly, which didn't. All in all I am ok, but glad to have another low-key day.

2:41 am

grannyrose

yay for low-key days. boo hiss for pain and nasty dreams.

2:41 am

sprite

amen, sistah :)

2:42 am

sprite

fireflies. Over before begun.

2:42 am

grannyrose

oh and btw. i put the TENS pads slightly lower the other day. i think i have managed to bump my B/P up... more than a bit. *sigh*

2:42 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!

2:43 am

sprite

aw sweetie. *hugs* As we say in Dutch, we learn by falling down and getting back up.

2:45 am

grannyrose

i think i found another bit of the sensitive nerve..... oh, oh... ruru said to say thanx for your list the other day.

2:45 am

sprite

ah :) My pleasure. Thanks for telling me.

2:46 am

grannyrose

what are you doing on your low-key day today?

2:47 am

sprite

darling, I hope you will sleep well tonight. Take care.
I have to get groceries for 2 days, and walk terra, and do laundry. And empty the dishwasher. That is it. Oh, and cook.

2:48 am

grannyrose

xoxox that's a lot for a low-key day. please take it in small bits. luvyaheeps.

2:49 am

sprite

I won't be in babble tomorrow morning. Have to drive quite a ways, will tell you more in email. *hugs*

2:49 am

grannyrose

okay sweetheart. xoxox

4:27 am

Anniebrook

letc h

4:27 am

Anniebrook

sorry and hello babblers

4:28 am

zoozzoom

I'll take it..Thanks! Struggling with this one. Hello, Annie :-)

4:29 am

Anniebrook

Hello zooz, so am I. I thought I could fly thru it, not so.

4:30 am

Anniebrook

I need a nice cup of coffee. Be back soon.

4:30 am

zoozzoom

Probably why I prefer huge grids. At least then when I have found lots of words I feel more content lol

4:30 am

zoozzoom

I have a nice cup of tea. Enjoy your coffee :-)

4:35 am

MollyL

It seems that the word gremlins who assemble these puzzles have decided that it is Spring and we should all be outdoors instead of at the computer. : D

4:37 am

zoozzoom

lol I did potter about cutting trees in my garden yesterday. Is that not enough for babble!

4:38 am

MollyL

Apparently not Zoom. We are down into the tiny, done in a few zone.

4:40 am

zoozzoom

If it was a tad warmer I would not mind being in the garden again. But babble had better pull its finger out and get some large grid sizes up and running or i will not be happy :-)

4:41 am

MollyL

I saw some people chatting about how whatever word game they play when Babble is tiny was down. That is a real sign it's time to back away from the computer.
: D

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Oh I do play other word games and puzzles etc but I can easily stop at anytime I am not an addict to babble!

4:50 am

MollyL

There there Zoom. There are 12 step programs available.
: D

4:50 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:51 am

mattygroves

Phantom - ocelot

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Good one, Matty!

4:53 am

mattygroves

What I want to know is why, when I see a phantom, and can tell it's a phantom, I just have to try it anyway.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

I do that when soeone writes it into the chat log. Even when they say it is NOT a word I still try it lol

4:53 am

MollyL

Probably the same reason you try a word that gets typed into chat, even though you know it's not a word

4:55 am

mattygroves

Hah! Glad I'm not alone in Babble irrationality!

4:56 am

MollyL

I think it comes from all those times you were convinced a word was not there and typed it anyway and it turned out it was there after all, in a way you could not see it.

4:58 am

zoozzoom

It stil puzzles me how you can type a word in and then later ffind out it did not add it and you still needed that word. So annoying.

5:02 am

MollyL

Did you actually see it in your word list? The only way to make sure it adds is to check every time. And then refresh before you step away for a while.

5:04 am

zoozzoom

To be honest no I did not check to see if it had added but it is a good idea to refresh though.

5:05 am

MollyL

I have tried to train myself to keep my eyes on the ADD WORD box as I type. Then I can see RED or GREEN. It also keeps me from typing words in the chat box.

5:11 am

mattygroves

I accidentally typed a space before a word so Babble didn't recognise it. Once I retyped without the space it was fine...but it's easy to accidentally add a space...

5:13 am

zoozzoom

Never thought of that, Matty. good point.

5:16 am

zoozzoom

Well I a done. might have another go in the garden I suppose.

5:17 am

MollyL

Good point Matty. You can also add an extra character (miss the ENTER key and hit the " key instead) and the word won't be accepted.

5:40 am

car.eeyore

good morning

5:48 am

sukee

Good morning all.

5:48 am

car.eeyore

hello sukee

5:48 am

sukee

Hi car.

sukee

Yuck, looks like a picky grid :)

5:50 am

car.eeyore

5:52 am

sukee

I'll take your word for it :)

5:53 am

car.eeyore

well...got through with 20 to go and now I think it's going to be picky :(

5:55 am

mattygroves

I too am at 20 to go and haven't found a word for ages...

5:55 am

mattygroves

And I still have 4 sixes to find...

6:00 am

sukee

Oh well, I have hit nbt.

6:04 am

sukee

Well, I have to go get ready to go out. 32 left :)

6:17 am

car.eeyore

Matty...do you have the TE 6/18...it should not even be a word

6:19 am

mattygroves

I do not have a te6/18 - I shall look now!

6:20 am

mattygroves

And I do now! And I agree - silly word

6:20 am

car.eeyore

yup

6:23 am

mattygroves

16 left - the list will beckon shortly, I feel. And I'll no doubt find words once I list that I should have noticed before listing...

6:23 am

car.eeyore

I just pulled it up with 12 left

6:26 am

Kallia

surely sy 6 30 should have an e in it?

6:27 am

6:31 am

car.eeyore

Hi ruby

6:31 am

bichon

Better than 441 and no list.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

Hello Car..

6:32 am

rubyfoo

Spring is just about here, although the nights are still freezing

6:32 am

mattygroves

Hmmm...I have the sy6 which is a weird plural...is the other related?

6:32 am

rubyfoo

Hello Bichon

6:32 am

bichon

hi ruby

6:33 am

Kallia

plural of ansy 5

6:33 am

rubyfoo

And I was even able to do a little bit of work in the garden

6:33 am

Kallia

hello Ruby

6:33 am

rubyfoo

Hi Matty

6:33 am

bichon

sy 6, pls

6:33 am

rubyfoo

Heello Kalia

6:33 am

mattygroves

Hallooo!

6:33 am

bichon

hi matty, Kalia

6:33 am

Kallia

hi bichon

6:34 am

Kallia

15 left and really struggling now

6:34 am

rubyfoo

I'm feeling much better; the radiation made a big difference with the pain. Soon I'll start reducing the morph

6:34 am

Kallia

thats good news Ruby

6:35 am

bichon

How does one do that?

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I've been taking about 60mg/day which only cut the pain to a 4 and didn't even make me sleepy or sick. Now the same amount takes the pain away except for the occasional twinge.

6:38 am

bichon

sweet

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I'll have to redice the dosage slowly because I am probably addicted

6:38 am

Uneaixoise

so good to hear, Ruby - what a relief!

6:38 am

rubyfoo

bonjour, une

6:39 am

rubyfoo

Yesterday, I spent the fternoon with my 1st oncologist who was transfered away (against her will, because of her age) but has become my friend.

6:40 am

mattygroves

I have the sy6 that's the plural of sy5 - is the other sy6 also related?

6:40 am

rubyfoo

Now, she's found a jobb in Aix-les-Bains which is about 50 mins. away, so we'll be able to get together from time to time.

6:40 am

bichon

ty matty

6:41 am

rubyfoo

She worked for 3 years in Afghanistan ansd Pakistan with Doctors Without Boarders, so is very interesting

6:41 am

bichon

It's nice to come away from this horrible situation with a friend

6:42 am

Kallia

its ends differently, musicians use a Sy***esiser

6:42 am

Kallia

maybe spelt the ending wrong

6:42 am

rubyfoo

I am feeling very happy and more optimistic. I can't be cured but should last a while!

6:42 am

bichon

ty Kalia

6:43 am

mattygroves

Thanks Kalia!

6:43 am

Kallia

yw :)

6:44 am

Kallia

off to hang out the washing. Give this a rest for now bye all

6:49 am

rubyfoo

I have a 94 yr old neighbor who hangs up her wash which I find remarkable

6:50 am

mattygroves

Americans always seem amazed how few Europeans have tumble dryers

6:51 am

rubyfoo

I'm just surprised that she can do it at her age

6:52 am

rubyfoo

I dry a ot of clothes on a rack in the guest batroom which is heated

6:52 am

rubyfoo

seel

6:53 am

rubyfoo

sorry, no more chat for moi

7:14 am

MollyL

Why no electric dryers in the UK?

7:15 am

MollyL

I would love to hang clothes outside to dry. However most home owners associations around here ban that. People think it looks trashy.

7:15 am

mattygroves

Lack of space (most people have their washing machines in the kitchen). Energy costs. And there's a bit of the 'this is the way it's always been done'

7:15 am

MollyL

I remember as a kid there was a clothes line in almost every back yard.

7:15 am

bichon

Our HOA doesn't allow it, but some people do it anyhow

7:16 am

rubyfoo

I'm Lucky to have a laundry room

7:16 am

MollyL

Like Ruby, I hang a lot of stuff to dry inside.

7:16 am

bichon

I like how clothes hung out to dry smell, but not how they feel

7:16 am

rubyfoo

My mother certainly had a clothes line in the back yard

7:17 am

rubyfoo

All the handwashing (or machine delicate) dries Inside or outside when it gets a little warmer

7:17 am

MollyL

My son's cotton t-shirts last twice as long if I hang dry them and iron.

7:19 am

dcseain

that makes senses, Molly.

7:21 am

rubyfoo

Molly has a Lucky son

7:21 am

rubyfoo

Hello Seain

7:21 am

bichon

Your son is very lucky.

7:25 am

rubyfoo

i miss the political gossip when i'm out of town.

10:39 am

dcseain

be well, kje

10:40 am

I think our primaries here aren't even until June - I suspect this is why California is so laid back. No politcal stress ; )

10:40 am

dcseain

but enough electoral votes to influence heavily, even at that late date. :)

10:48 am

rururocks

To be honest.. I'm shocked Trump is doing so well

10:54 am

dan2bit

he's a master at sucking up the available media oxygen

10:54 am

dcseain

sadly, i'm not. I'm disappointed, but much, much less surprised than i thought i would be.

10:54 am

dcseain

indeed he is, dan

10:57 am

rururocks

I guess it shows the sad state of the Republican Party that they can't come up with a real viable candidate. Ted Cruz is just as scary if not more so.

12:20 pm

rururocks

I bet

12:21 pm

rururocks

momentous changes in your life now

12:21 pm

EvaNadine

yeah. and it feels like nowhere near enough time to plan for it! EEP!

12:22 pm

rururocks

hope you get lots of help

12:22 pm

rururocks

I am very happy for you.

12:22 pm

EvaNadine

we're lucky to have both of our families nearby, and my mother is OVER THE MOON.

12:22 pm

rururocks

first grandkid?

12:22 pm

Jacula

Congrats EvaN!

12:23 pm

rururocks

that's fabulous both families are nearby.. that will be a godsend

12:23 pm

EvaNadine

no, but first from her daughter. ;)

12:23 pm

EvaNadine

TY jac!

12:24 pm

EvaNadine

i figure she got lots of practice with my brothers 3 -- now shes perfected it for mine. ;)

12:51 pm

MollyL

EVA!!!! Congratulations.

12:55 pm

EvaNadine

thankyou, molly!

12:57 pm

MollyL

As a mother who would also be over the moon if I had impending grand baby news, I will greedily enjoy every tidbit of your pregnancy and delivery. I'm so happy for you and Mr. Eva.

12:58 pm

hego

Eva's pregnant!!

12:58 pm

hego

Congratulations little buddy. I'm so happy for you!

12:59 pm

EvaNadine

heh, thankyou hego!

12:59 pm

hego

Great news.

12:59 pm

MollyL

Sonogram pictures are so detailed these days. It's so wonderful to be able to watch your unborn baby develop.

1:00 pm

EvaNadine

its amazing! i even have a video from today's appt!

1:00 pm

Uneaixoise

congrats, Eva!! So happy for you! :-)

1:01 pm

EvaNadine

TY une!

1:01 pm

MollyL

The videos are the best. I was a labor coach for a friend of mine and I literally cried when she got her first sonogram.

1:01 pm

hego

It is lovely.

1:02 pm

EvaNadine

my poor hubby doesnt do with with medical stuff, so im kinda on my own for appts. but he is SO EXCITED when i bring home pictures. :)

1:03 pm

rururocks

labor coach?

1:04 pm

rururocks

I'd make a great impregnation coach

1:04 pm

EvaNadine

LMAO ruru!

1:04 pm

MollyL

My friend's husband sounds like Eva's husband. He is not the kind of guy who could go through Lamaze with her, so I was her labor coach.

1:05 pm

EvaNadine

my hubby couldnt even sit through a sonogram. theres NO WAY hes gonna survive labor + delivery.

my mother says its on her bucket list to see a baby be born, so i think she may get her wish!

1:05 pm

rururocks

<--is with Eva's husband on that one

1:05 pm

hego

It's a shame, because it's a great thing to witness.

1:06 pm

hego

A miracle, really.

1:06 pm

MollyL

It is the most amazing thing in the world to watch a baby being born. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.

1:07 pm

EvaNadine

if men had to have the babies, there would never have been a 2nd generation. :P

1:08 pm

hego

Well, we all know that. :)

1:08 pm

rururocks

I know a lot of men who are babies :D

1:09 pm

suefrad625

hi again

1:09 pm

hego

True, Ruru.

1:09 pm

MollyL

Eva, our local hospitals (Eva and I live near each other) have great labor and delivery units. You will be in good hands.

1:10 pm

EvaNadine

my OB works solely with Sibley downtown. sounds like a pretty luxury suite!

1:10 pm

suefrad625

by the time i was ready, they could have used a jack hammer for all i cared

1:11 pm

hego

:)

1:11 pm

MollyL

Oh, Sibley is even better than the local hospitals. When is your due date?

1:12 pm

EvaNadine

9/26

1:13 pm

EvaNadine

just a week + a half after the baby i married. ;)

1:14 pm

hego

Good month. I'm a 9/23.

1:14 pm

suefrad625

1:14 pm

EvaNadine

1:14 pm

MollyL

Lots of happy times ahead for you Eva. Thanks for sharing your good news. That was my smile of the day.
: D

1:15 pm

hego

No, Libra

1:15 pm

rururocks

Libras are extra cool people

1:15 pm

EvaNadine

*whew*
not sure i could take a second Virgo in the house!

1:15 pm

EvaNadine

glad to be of service, molly. :)

1:15 pm

hego

Yes, we are Ruru

1:15 pm

MollyL

<---Also Libra. We are cool, very balanced.

1:16 pm

hego

Bill and I are both Libra.

1:18 pm

zoozzoom

Congratulations, Eva!

1:18 pm

rururocks

<---- LIbra here too

1:18 pm

MollyL

Hego, you are on the cusp. You folks borrow from both sides of Virgo and Libra.

1:18 pm

EvaNadine

TY zooz!

1:18 pm

hego

RU! i knew it!!

1:18 pm

rururocks

that would make Hego a Viabra

1:19 pm

hego

Nope, I'm totally Libra, no Virgo traits at all.

1:19 pm

rururocks

*says little prayer*

1:19 pm

rururocks

I'm a total libra too

1:20 pm

1:23 pm

zoozzoom

1:24 pm

hego

Both smart as a whip, though.

1:24 pm

zoozzoom

To be honest I do ot pay too much attention to the star sign as many years ago I was checking in lots of papers at my star sign and they all said something different.

1:25 pm

MollyL

Eva are you feeling urpy? If not, I hope the morning sickness stuff passes you by.

1:25 pm

EvaNadine

*whipcrack*

1:25 pm

hego

:0

1:26 pm

EvaNadine

so far, ive been REALLY lucky.
im 12 weeks today, and other than my stomach just being "off" i havent really had any morning sickness!

::tries not to say that too loud::

1:27 pm

MollyL

Good to hear. Not everyone has to deal with that.

1:28 pm

hego

need coffee.

1:33 pm

EvaNadine

A grid of few words.

1:42 pm

MollyL

Best two minutes I ever had. Oh...are we talking about the grid?

1:43 pm

zoozzoom

lol

1:44 pm

rururocks

isn't it premature to say that Molly?

1:50 pm

penquis

i am not enjoying this grid...

1:57 pm

MollyL

Yes Ru, I may have spouted off too soon.

2:20 pm

cybernan

3:02 pm

Douglas

I am offended by the very existence of such a grid

3:09 pm

Douglas

Cleo the Muse is in the grid, so there's that. Ok, ok, maybe this grid isn't so vicious and nasty and heinous.

3:49 pm

sukee

Sh 5/18 is a dumb word lol

6:10 pm

rubyfoo

<I like the big chewy ones which I do,'t finish but enjoy hacking away

6:13 pm

meliae

Firewords :)

6:15 pm

meliae

Me to Ruby I feel compelled to finish the smaller ones and end up frustrated and listing, using morewords and asking for clues. It kind of takes the fun out if it.

6:18 pm

MollyL

In the HELP section, it says the object of the game is:
To list as many words of the highest point value as you can find
As many as YOU can find. Not as many as you can find on morewords, or as many as are clued to you, or as many as you get by listing. I think when people become compelled to finish, the game loses it's "fun quotient".

6:24 pm

mkg

erns

6:24 pm

mkg

opps sorry

6:26 pm

mkg

molly it depends on the person. for me, part of the game is figuring out the clever clues given in the chat. it makes the game much much better in my view.

6:29 pm

MollyL

My comment was a response to what Meliae said.

6:46 pm

rururocks

doesn't enable guide you already to more or less words?

6:50 pm

MollyL

If that means doesn't Enable guide you to morewords.com, I don't know. I've never looked at the Enable word list.

6:51 pm

jesdraggon

Well, what enable uses are more or less words, i guess :P

6:51 pm

rururocks

that's my point

6:51 pm

rururocks

it selectively accepts certain European words but not all of them. There is no rhyme or reason to it

6:53 pm

rururocks

In French it will accept Brother,not sister, Shit but not tartine..

6:54 pm

jesdraggon

whats a tartine?

6:55 pm

rururocks

fruit tart mostly

6:56 pm

MollyL

French...it accepts shit but not thank you. It's the oddest word list ever. And yet people here defend it endlessly.

6:56 pm

jesdraggon

mmm.

6:57 pm

jesdraggon

i don't think i've ever seen anyone defend Enable.

6:58 pm

rururocks

oh people do jess

6:59 pm

MollyL

I have seen people defend Enable. And berate people who complain about it.

6:59 pm

jesdraggon

weird.

6:59 pm

rururocks

those same people have tenrecs as pets

7:00 pm

jesdraggon

can you blame them? tenrecs are sooooo cool

7:00 pm

MollyL

It is a word list that has not been updated since the year 2000. For people who are into words, that is not the best word source for a game like this.

7:00 pm

jesdraggon

also, you know, illegal to sell as pets in the US, but still, very cool critters.

7:08 pm

MollyL

Oh I can't wait to clue te6 as illegal to sell as a pet in the US. I bet that will go over big.
: D

7:09 pm

jesdraggon

speaking of weird words... how out of normal conversation is the an6?

7:10 pm

MollyL

I bet it's a big hit at botanist cocktail parties. Oh wait, do botanists have cocktail parties?

7:10 pm

jesdraggon

don't know, i'm not a botanist

7:14 pm

rururocks

botanists serve wine on stems :D

7:14 pm

jesdraggon

7:15 pm

rururocks

Japanese sauce sh5

7:15 pm

MollyL

Thank you Ru. I thought the humor quotient here had died again.

7:16 pm

MollyL

The wine at botanist cocktail parties probably has a nice bouquet.

7:17 pm

rururocks

botanists are more limb-er

7:19 pm

MollyL

No, those are arborists.

7:19 pm

rururocks

botanists are clumsy as a rule...

7:19 pm

rururocks

they tend to face plant a lot
