2:55 am

sprite

2:55 am

sprite

the tw words are recurring babblets, matty. You know them.

2:55 am

mattygroves

Sorry - are the TWs words I've ever heard of?

2:56 am

grannyrose

matty think more than one for the same amount of money

2:57 am

mattygroves

Got it - thanks! I *might* have found it eventually but it'd have driven me nuts!

2:57 am

grannyrose

short drive matty.... lolllll

2:57 am

mattygroves

Too true!

2:58 am

sprite

*giggles* True for all of us

2:58 am

grannyrose

humpfff, what's this us white man?

2:58 am

sprite

tw6 the price of one... it is one of the first babblets I learned when starting to play babble. Drove me straight into the curtains.

2:59 am

sprite

hehehe... us, my darling rose, as in you... and me... and me... and you...

2:59 am

grannyrose

roflollll. would have loved to see that

3:01 am

sprite

oh I was a basketcase back then. I was not even aware words could start with cw... or pt... or cz... I didn't know some words don't have vowels... babble sure broadened my horizon. And taught me to doubt my allencompassing knowledge of life, the universe and the rest.

3:03 am

grannyrose

*rocks sprite's basket* shhhh, sprite is sleeping....

3:04 am

sprite

mama!

3:06 am

sprite

god, I wish, rose... would have been a different life, with you as my mum. Or someone like you. Ah well. We wouldn't have met as friends then and you wouldn't come to spend a vacation with me here!

3:06 am

mattygroves

Do you ever manage to use any babblets in conversation?

3:07 am

grannyrose

if i had been your mum we would be living in each others homes all the time.

3:08 am

grannyrose

not that i know of matty

3:08 am

sprite

oh yeah, sometimes :) But only when I tell people about weird words or the fun of babble.

3:10 am

sprite

okay my beautiful people, I have to go. *hugs* to you both, and a hug for Don too.

3:11 am

mattygroves

Have a good one, Sprite

3:11 am

grannyrose

thanx hun. and hugs for you and Rob.

3:22 am

mattygroves

4:35 am

MollyL

Good day for a short grid. You can get outside and bask in the glory of your garden.

4:37 am

rubyfoo

Yes, and I'll do some "pot planting" on the deck this afternoon. We prepared the various pots yesterday, some of them fancy Chinese bronzes

4:37 am

rubyfoo

Hahaha

4:42 am

MollyL

*Imagines Ruby sitting in the middle of her garden, munching on a bag of Cheetos and wondering where the dogs are*

4:44 am

rubyfoo

No medical MJ exists here; I could probably eliminate my painkillers; Is oxty worse than pot? Probably

11:58 am

Sigh. Our cleaning crew here at the office is low budget. They actually use vinegar to clean our windows. My bulletproof glass is now streaky as hell.

11:58 am

rubyfoo

vinagar? I'm surprised they don't use newspaper!

11:59 am

Hi, Ruby! Professional cleaners is a bit of an oxymoron here.

12:00 pm

rubyfoo

You can see I'm desperate. Everybody said this was easy! Not for me

12:00 pm

Judi

I struggled a bit with the last 25 words or so. Don't feel bad. The smaller grids are always the most annoying.

12:01 pm

rubyfoo

I have 22 left and see nada, and still no 7

12:01 pm

Judi

Off I go to re-clean my window. See y'all tomorrow! *POOF*

Nef

skamp

10:34 pm

Nef

Sorry. It isn't a word (according to Enable)

10:35 pm

Nef

And I've just been here a couple of minutes & messed up already.

10:38 pm

stidmama

(((Nef))) I am lurking. Should be grading papers, but... ;-)

10:40 pm

Nef

Hi stid. How are you feeling these days?

10:43 pm

stidmama

Not bad. The dog didn't run away the last two days, which was nice... <sigh>

10:43 pm

Nef

Is he running away frequently?

10:49 pm

stidmama

He would if we gave him more chances. I really NEED Tom to get the ground in Wally's fenced area finished. He is dragging his feet for some reason... but I cannot order multiple yards of materials to be delivered (they only deliver on weekdays!) because I don't know Tom's schedule. So I am having to wait for him to do it.

10:51 pm

Nef

What is he doing to the fenced area?

10:52 pm

stidmama

It needs the substrate. Wally is a digger so we cannot just put him in a fenced area. We have to have gravel and put cement blocks around the bottom of the fence so he cannot dig out.

10:53 pm

Nef

oh-oh. Is wally a mutt?

10:53 pm

Nef

Wally

10:53 pm

stidmama

Of course!

10:54 pm

Nef

:-)

10:54 pm

stidmama

He's part golden retriever, part shepherd (I think australian shepherd likely), part "who knows"

10:54 pm

stidmama

He is, of course, inordinately intelligent...

10:56 pm

Nef

The reason I ask is that my sister raises golden retrievers; and she only had 3 males last year & she kept finding that they had ripped big holes in the chain link fence that their kennels were made of.

10:57 pm

stidmama

Yes, Wally might get to that point, but hopefully not too soon. Summer break begins in two months from tomorrow!

10:57 pm

Nef

Turns out another dog down the road was in heat & my sister's 3 dogs ripped the kennel apart & ran away trying to get to the femals

10:58 pm

Nef

You're counting the days Already>

10:59 pm

stidmama

Wow....... being a rescue, Wally is "fixed" so that's less an enticement. Although, to be fair, he is a very good hunter, so he's quite keen to get acquainted with all the lovely furred and feathered neighbors!

11:00 pm

stidmama

Not quite "counting" but noticing the passage of time. Despite the health issues that have plagued this school year, these are wonderful kiddos and I will be sad to see them leave. I offered to move up to fourth grade with them... (no takers!)

11:02 pm

MissOmnibus

could i get a clue for the tw6 please?

11:02 pm

MissOmnibus

lso hello all!

11:02 pm

Nef

aww. They must be a good group of kids. There are 3 classes of 2nd graders in my grandsons school; his class has been delightful; but another class is the complete opposite.

11:03 pm

Nef

Hi Miss O

11:03 pm

stidmama

more than one for a single price, MissO

11:03 pm

stidmama

They really are a great group of kids, yes.

11:04 pm

MissOmnibus

hey nef, stid how are you both

11:04 pm

MissOmnibus

thanks stid

11:04 pm

Nef

tw 6 is like a special offer on vitamins (or whatever)

11:04 pm

stidmama

Enjoying a quiet evening. Tom just took Wally out for the third time since I got home -- Wally really is getting insistent on Tom's attention these days.

11:05 pm

MissOmnibus

cute!

11:05 pm

MissOmnibus

hmm i assume americas have a word for that we dont use here?

11:05 pm

MissOmnibus

ive been preoccupied with cross stich this psat week or so, my babble game is lacking

11:06 pm

MissOmnibus

got it tho!

11:06 pm

MissOmnibus

:D thanks

11:06 pm

stidmama

We have an expression that means "buy one, get one free" if that helps?

11:06 pm

stidmama

go MissO go!

11:06 pm

Nef

I spent the day with a friend who had hand surgery. I took her to the surgery center; sat in the waiting room for several hours; brought her home & stayed with her as long as I could.

11:07 pm

MissOmnibus

hope they make a quick recovery nef, you make a good nurse and friend :)

11:07 pm

stidmama

that was so kind of you, Nef! :-)

11:08 pm

MissOmnibus

Easter Friday here, and also my late nanas birthday... i was going to brave the droves of people but everythings closed til tomorrow anyhow

11:09 pm

MissOmnibus

Ended up securtereing the crap out of the weeds and Hevean tree out the back

11:09 pm

MissOmnibus

eed to seriously poinson that thing :(

11:09 pm

stidmama

Do they still have blue laws down there? In the U.S., stores rarely are closed!

11:10 pm

Nef

She's doing well but isn't supposed to be alone; so her niece came to spend the night there.
She's single, & one of my former co-workers. And as I've probably said before, several of us old time nurses have an agreement that we'd watch out for each other if 1 of us gets sick or has surgery.

11:10 pm

stidmama

poor weeds... ;-) remember a weed is just a plant that is in the wrong place!

11:11 pm

MissOmnibus

Public holidays it's small trading only if they can afford to ope it, chain grocery and things like clothing stores, banks, everything else are closed

11:11 pm

MissOmnibus

You need to come have that talk with Mr Heaven/Hell tree out the back Stid

11:12 pm

MissOmnibus

And Nef, that's the way it is! Although I'm not in touch with any other nurses these days... Guess it will be me nursing my stubborn nurse self... - oh dear!

11:12 pm

Nef

I wish stores were closed for holidays like they used to be; it has gotten to the point of people treating holidays like work days now

11:12 pm

MissOmnibus

clue for the second ca4,9 please?

11:13 pm

stidmama

Tree of Heaven... so pretty to look at, but if I remember right they drop a lot of material, and are they also one of the ones the sprouts from their roots?

11:13 pm

MissOmnibus

duckers for days stid, up to 100 feet away from the initial terror of a plant

11:14 pm

MissOmnibus

i moved into this place of which my partner owns around xmas time, he can't garden and its just been left to ruin... it's yeah...

11:14 pm

MissOmnibus

Fire would be a blesing!

11:14 pm

MissOmnibus

Although i read earlier that fire makes it grow more

11:14 pm

MissOmnibus

no fire for me:(

11:14 pm

Nef

I haven't listed MissO, my 2nd ca is what you do with tents & sleeping bags & a firepit

11:15 pm

stidmama

Yep... I remember now. So pretty, and so deadly! I don't usually use chemicals to control plants, but that sumac relative is one that I would consider it. I actually have only used "Roundup" for one purpose ever -- a plant that I brought from a grandparent's yard decades ago that I later learned was on the banned list for being too prolific. I thought it had died out, and then found a happy stand of it a few years ago!

11:15 pm

stidmama

I am down to 5 with no clues or list (yet) -- just finished grading. :-) Will give myself another 15 minutes and then turn into a pumpkin.

11:18 pm

stidmama

the second ca 4/9 is something that rum and other liquors are stored in. Poe wrote a great story about the ca 4/9 of Amontillado.

11:18 pm

MissOmnibus

11:22 pm

origami

11:23 pm

Nef

I'm struggling to keep my eyes open here; I'm pretty worn out from doing nothing all day

MissOmnibus

11:24 pm

origami

Yay, Miss!

11:24 pm

Nef

It's much harder to do nothing all day than to have a very busy day. (At least that's what I think)

11:24 pm

MissOmnibus

11:25 pm

Nef

LOL MissO! I think I ran 4 cups of hospital strength coffee today too! :-)

11:25 pm

MissOmnibus

MissOmnibus

11:28 pm

11:29 pm

stidmama

My son recently told DH & me that we drink too much coffee. However; HE's the one who makes it very high strength; & I think it's too strong. (I normally drink 2 - 3 cups of caffeine a day; not sure what I'd do if I had to his coffee all the time
