babble is like microwave popcorn

12:29 am

12:29 am

1:27 am

sprite

good morning all

1:37 am

grannyrose

well timed my darling {{sprite}} just sat down again. dishes done, second load of washing on. hugs ans kisses

1:38 am

sprite

*major hug* for rose. Hello my darling, great to see you. Wow, well done, you. I am only just up and about... made coffee, got dressed in my indoor lounge stuff. Fed Terra. Not really planning on doing much more today :D

1:39 am

sprite

so... does that mean you are feeling reasonably okay? Or just that you have been pushing yourself?

1:39 am

grannyrose

now that's my sort of day... loll good on you

1:40 am

grannyrose

second option unfortunately. have been sitting all day trying to dig up the energy.

1:42 am

sprite

I had a feeling that was the case. *sends rose a truckload of energy* You do take care, don't you, hun? Take it slow, leave things to Don, put up those feet? Darn, I wish I could be there to help you and see to it you are being incredibly kind to yourself.

1:42 am

grannyrose

not a good start this morning. had to use the TENS first thing, not a good sign.

1:43 am

sprite

definitely not. Being in so much pain is draining your energy faster than you can replace it, sweetie, I know. Please act accordingly... it is necessary. Still quite a wait until the denervation.

1:45 am

grannyrose

i know honey, and i feel your presence everyday. that's what makes me think twice and even thrice, before doing something. can Don do it? sometimes. but the washing?? if i sort and spray maybe. but i still have to do the prewash stuff.

1:46 am

sprite

yeah, sorting and spraying... I know you are doing that sitting down, that's okayish. And make sure Don does the hanging up etc. I am glad you feel me being there with you. I am, I think of you very very often and you are always in my heart and prayers.

1:48 am

grannyrose

now that's the nicest thng said to me today. yeah, i know. Don adores me, i feel that, but when my lower back starts i think even the Pope would get it right.

1:48 am

grannyrose

*wouldn't*

1:49 am

sprite

Don is a darling and yes, he adores you. He is just not very good at handling intense emotions or women in pain :) Which is tough to do in any case, so no blame there.

1:50 am

sprite

honey, pain in the lower back means every darn thing you do or move hurts like hell. It would drive a saint to murder.

1:50 am

grannyrose

we are working it out. i have alerted him that if i have a rapid change of mood, ALWAYS suspect pain.

1:50 am

sprite

(and saints we ain't, lololollllO)

1:52 am

sprite

good notion. You might even want to supply him with a standard reaction. "Rose, I think you are in a lot of pain. Please sit down and tell me what you need right now."

1:52 am

grannyrose

speaking of saints, i caught up with worzel a few days ago. he has been in a very dark place for some months, and poor diane also. they are coming out again. as worzel said in reply to my email, mum, you have shaken me out of my shell.

1:53 am

sprite

nice thing to say. Sorry to hear they've gone through a tough spell.

1:56 am

grannyrose

i just have to sort out Chrissiedee. her email bounces and i am wondering if something has happened to her which may have caused both worzel's and diane's dark m

1:57 am

grannyrose

time.

1:57 am

grannyrose

dark *time*

1:57 am

sprite

could be. Has she played babble recently?

1:58 am

grannyrose

no.

1:58 am

sprite

not easy then to get ahold of her.

1:59 am

grannyrose

i do worry. she had just had a new baby last i heard. but that was months ago. i remember diane was over the moon.

2:01 am

sprite

well, don't borrow trouble, my dear friend. You might simply ask Diane and Worzel about her. No need to worry yet, and no use in speculating.

2:05 am

grannyrose

i hear you...

2:06 am

sprite

{{{{{rose}}}}}

2:11 am

sprite

not meant as criticism, you know that, right? Just want to spare you as much anxiety as possible.

2:12 am

grannyrose

no criticism seen sweetie. just loving direction. thanx

2:13 am

sprite

good :) With emphasis on the loving part.

2:26 am

sprite

babble should hi4 its very own Scottie, to beam us over to eachother whenever needed

2:30 am

grannyrose

good suggestion. wanna send it to Dr God... loll

2:30 am

sprite

lol, please do :D

2:32 am

sprite

if all regular chatters would chip in, we could easily afford it

2:53 am

sprite

fireflies. Not a tough grid at all.

2:54 am

sprite

*hugs* my dearest friend. Please go on taking care of you. Love to Don, and as always, lots of love and *hugs* for you.

2:58 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!! HUGS AND LOVE FOR YOU BOTH TOO.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

Yes.

3:57 am

periwinkle

I don't see it. I have re7's. is the 8 related to any of them?

3:57 am

zoozzoom

It does use the high point tile.

3:57 am

periwinkle

3 re7'ss is what I have

3:58 am

Aloyisius

peri, think of "Carpe Diem" and you will have it

3:58 am

zoozzoom

3:59 am

periwinkle

tyty. I did not have the base word

4:01 am

periwinkle

4:05 am

rubyfoo

4:05 am

rubyfoo

aand Good Morninjg

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Glad it helped, ((Ruby))

4:05 am

rubyfoo

((zzoozz))

4:06 am

rubyfoo

l was here earlier, but just lurked, reeading the conveersation LOL

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Not been long he4 myself.

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Just had a bath and got myself a nice hot cup of tea!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

l've been trying to get thee fire to "takee", without success

4:08 am

rubyfoo

Luckily, it's a little less cold

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Put some newsparer with it. Maybe the wood is a bit too damp and needs a helping hand.

4:09 am

zoozzoom

It was near freezing point this morning but has warmed up to around 10c/50f

4:09 am

rubyfoo

I did and also used little fire started chips etc

4:09 am

rubyfoo

l lack the magic touch

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Not sure why then...maybe try having stuff crammed all in too tight and have it with air gaps to help it?

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Try not having it all crammed together that should of been.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

l just tried again as theree were still some glowing cinders.

4:27 am

zoozzoom

And? did it take?

4:28 am

rubyfoo

I wrapped some "petitts bois" with a couple of pine cones in nhewspaper, and it all lit up instantly

4:28 am

rubyfoo

The pine cones make it crackle -- nice.

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Yay! Nice one,Ruby! You can stay all nnice and warm now :-)

4:29 am

rubyfoo

Not warm yet, but at least it looks warm

4:29 am

rubyfoo

This house is ridiculous but pretty

4:30 am

zoozzoom

My home is like yours in that it does not hold heat very well. always cold in this place.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

When it's windy outside, it's windy Inside!

4:31 am

MollyL

Another member of the drafty home club here. I have to put an old blanket at the base of the front door when it is cold to keep the draft out.

4:31 am

rubyfoo

ewer

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Yes my curtains move when the wind is blowing outside lol

4:31 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

4:31 am

MollyL

I need new windows and some weather stripping.

4:32 am

zoozzoom

Oh wow I do that too, Molly on the front and back door lol Glad I am not the only one who does that!

4:32 am

rubyfoo

Fortunately, l have a lot of newspapers o burn and plenty of wood

4:33 am

zoozzoom

That is good, Ruby. always have a stock of fuel to burn. Just mae sure you have read them all first haha!

4:33 am

rubyfoo

The windows are the problem here and there are many

4:33 am

zoozzoom

Make*

4:34 am

MollyL

It is very expensive to have windows replaced. It is on my "someday" list.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

The news makes me so angry that tthey would probably burn spontaneously

4:34 am

rubyfoo

Too expensive to re-glaze

4:35 am

zoozzoom

My neighbours both side of me have had new windows and a new conservatory but on the back of thier homes. My house is starting to look like a pit compared to everyone elses here.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

It's ironic, because when we ought the house, my husband and l were in the glass business

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Their*

4:36 am

rubyfoo

Phantom: threnody (whatever that means LOL)

4:37 am

zoozzoom

A lament.

4:37 am

rubyfoo

Thank you

4:38 am

MollyL

Zoom is the Google King
: D

4:38 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:38 am

rubyfoo

What we do about our drafty houses

4:38 am

zoozzoom

Try anfd win the lottery, Ruby.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

(l almost usedit in a sentence)

4:38 am

MollyL

Keep chanting "mild winter, mild winter, mild winter"

4:39 am

zoozzoom

I still do, Molly :-)

4:39 am

rubyfoo

l fear it won't work; Rufie has grown an extra layer of dense fur this year

4:40 am

rubyfoo

But he does his part -- lying on my feet

4:40 am

zoozzoom

There does not seem to be extra berries on the trees around these parts so i am hoping that is a good sign.

4:41 am

zoozzoom

LOL nice, Ruby!

4:41 am

MollyL

A big lottery win remains in my dreams. However, so far this week, I have only won 4 dollars.
: )

4:41 am

rubyfoo

We look for good omens.....

4:42 am

rubyfoo

The French lottery is too complicated for me

4:43 am

zoozzoom

They changed the amount of balls they have in our lottery here and since then we have very rarely won anything in a whole year I think we won around £3.80 and that is paying £5 a week between my parents and I

4:44 am

zoozzoom

Forgot to put in a couple of full stops. sorry about that.

4:44 am

MollyL

Well, you know, it's always better to have more balls.
: D

4:44 am

rubyfoo

l used to play religiously in Miami and, for the firsst year, l came out ahead

4:45 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:45 am

rubyfoo

After that, it became too much of an obsession, so l stopped playing

4:46 am

zoozzoom

Can be, Ruby. that is why we only do one line twice a week on our lottery. well it is in fact the euro lottery we do.

4:46 am

zoozzoom

I did do the irish lottery for a while and that was a good one to do. I won more on that than any other.

4:46 am

rubyfoo

You start to be afraid NOT to play

4:47 am

MollyL

I have to hit the grocery store early. This is the time of year when dim people, who never cook, try to assemble what they need to make a turkey dinner.

4:47 am

zoozzoom

For two numbers they would pay out. here it has to be three numbers.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

For the first 8 years we were here, we used to have to go to Geneva for the turkey and have friends send cans of Libby'ss pumpkin

4:48 am

zoozzoom

I am happy with just a marmite sandwich to be honest.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

I quit that, too, French people had no idea what it was about

4:51 am

zoozzoom

The festive season has become too commercialized in my opinion.

4:51 am

rubyfoo

Not here

4:52 am

zoozzoom

They even start Christmas commercials in October on the TV

4:53 am

rubyfoo

The TV commercials are all about cars now; last night l counted 6 in a row!

4:54 am

zoozzoom

They are moslty about charities here.

4:54 am

rubyfoo

You know life is exciting when you start keeping track of TV ads!

4:54 am

MollyL

That's our Ruby, always living on the edge.
: D

4:55 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:55 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:57 am

rubyfoo

See you later kids, lunch should be delivered any minute, maybe in a red box

4:59 am

zoozzoom

Enjoy your meal, Ruby!

word families coming from all corners of the board made it tricky

2:48 pm

MollyL

I love the phrase "word families" it's so cutsie.

4:58 pm

rururocks

you'd think dictionaries would use contraception in these times

5:00 pm

rururocks

too much gerunding if you ask me

5:01 pm

rururocks

it's easy to pick up syllables without them

5:16 pm

MollyL

It's not a "family" thing if you are picking up syllables. *Thinking street corners*

5:58 pm

rururocks

or one of those bars where you get a Verb dance

6:15 pm

mkg

hi all.

6:39 pm

penquis

hello...

6:54 pm

penquis

i am done....*waving to the lurkesr*....

6:54 pm

Nef

Good Evening

6:55 pm

Nef

Bye, pen. I never seem to be here when you are lately.

7:01 pm

penquis

hi nef....not quite gone yet... ;o)

7:03 pm

Nef

How are you lately, pen? (I'm feeling older every day myself) ;-)

7:04 pm

penquis

ok here....feel older every day, lol...

7:05 pm

Nef

I guess that's pretty normal, huh?

7:06 pm

Nef

We've had such a cold fall, I worry it will be a long winter this year

7:06 pm

penquis

yes, for sure....how are you doing?

7:08 pm

Nef

doing okay; DH is a handful (as usual) but he's just had a bunch of steroids (for his MS) & we're hoping it helps.

7:09 pm

Nef

We're planning to go to Montana at Christmas; we're going by train; & I'm hoping he can travel better that way.

7:11 pm

penquis

Do you have family in Montana?

7:12 pm

Nef

Almost all of my siblings & my step mother. My youngest brother (he's in his 50's) was just diagnosed with ALS & wants us all out there for the holiday this year.

7:14 pm

penquis

Ah....well it should be nice to be with all your family...

7:15 pm

Nef

He's my half brother & he thinks it may be "the last one at his mom's house" so we're going. (Not sure if he meant himself, my step mother, or at that house; she should be in assisted living)

7:17 pm

penquis

I will go to my niece's at Christmas....stay a night or two....spend some time with her boys....

7:18 pm

Nef

How many kids does she have?

7:19 pm

penquis

three....12 to 18....oldest is in college...

7:20 pm

Nef

That will be fun then; old enough they will be interesting to talk to & not be too rowdy.

7:21 pm

penquis

yes, they are fine....well behaved....

7:22 pm

Nef

Do you go there every year?

7:23 pm

penquis

yes, and for Thanksgiving.....other times, too....she is just an hour and a half away....

7:24 pm

Nef

That's nice. My closest sibling is 6 hours away (up home, where I grew up)

7:25 pm

penquis

my brother and nephew live in my town now....another brother is a little less than 2 hours away....

7:28 pm

Nef

I have 1 aunt & a bunch of cousins in the Cities here; but holidays are always so busyfor everyone that we all have our own celebrations.

7:29 pm

Nef

I have a dear friend that lives near & we always had our holiday celebrations together; but she remarried a couple of years ago & their blended families are a full house these days.

7:31 pm

penquis

It's tough when the family grows....we have a larger get together in January with my brothers, nieces and nephew and kids....that's nice...

7:33 pm

Nef

It is hard when families grow; they never all fit in 1 room to eat anymore & "the kids" don't want to sit at the kids' table anymore! ;-)

7:34 pm

penquis

yes, it gets tough...we do a buffet type meal for the large get together.....

7:35 pm

Nef

(I think the older people would almost rather sit at the kids table sometimes; kids have more fun at holidays)

7:35 pm

penquis

hah....too true!

7:35 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, oh, me, me! I want to sit at the kids' table.

7:36 pm

Scrabbler

Or with the pets. Anything to avoid small talk with adults.

7:36 pm

Nef

I think that buffet meals work great for big groups at this point of our lives.

7:37 pm

Nef

Hi Scrabs. I'll join you at the kids table

7:37 pm

penquis

hi scrabs....

7:37 pm

Scrabbler

Yay! We can tell jokes and be generally immature.

7:38 pm

Scrabbler

Just because we grow older doesn't mean we have to grow up.

7:38 pm

Nef

(I do not want to eat with the pets. My daughter will be bringing her 2 big dogs for the first time; she just rescued a second one & he doesn't have ANY manners!

7:39 pm

Scrabbler

How is the weather in Maine now, Penquis?

7:39 pm

Nef

I just want the kids to do the cooking & cleaning before & after; the kids table never did those things; so I don't want to either! ;-)

7:40 pm

Scrabbler

Good points, Nef.

7:42 pm

Nef

We have a tiny galley kitchen; there isn't much room for more than 1 person in there at a time. The only good thing about it is that you can start at 1 end & at the other end (a whole 8 feet long!) there's a door,;so buffet lines make sense

7:42 pm

penquis

it's been cold here....warmest October ever and now one of the coldest Novembers ever.....weird....

7:43 pm

Scrabbler

We will get 4-8 inches of snow form tomorrow through Monday.

7:44 pm

Nef

Will it last, Scrabs?

7:45 pm

Nef

We've had several snowfalls here and the ground is frozen already; but so far none of the snow has stayed with us (probably because we've also had rain if it's been above freezing)

7:46 pm

Scrabbler

Temps will hit 45 on Tuesday so most will melt.

7:47 pm

Nef

that's always good.

7:47 pm

Scrabbler

No, I WANT snow! I am ready to snowshoe and XC-ski.

7:47 pm

penquis

i can do without it...

7:50 pm

Scrabbler

I am seeing so many words that were invisible this morning.

7:50 pm

Nef

Oh. I just want warmer temps & unslippery walking myself

7:52 pm

Scrabbler

my7 seems like a fake word.

7:53 pm

Nef

Isn't that the way it always goes, Scrabs? you take a break & when you come back it's so easy to see more words

7:53 pm

Nef

Very true about that my7 word.

7:55 pm

Nef

Scrabs; do you havelots of groomed trails to snowshoe & XC-ski on where you live?

7:56 pm

penquis

ti 8 seems like a phony word, too...

7:56 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, the county park next to us has many groomed trails in the woods and a warming hut with a wood stove. It is heavenly there.

7:57 pm

Scrabbler

A clue, penquis?

7:57 pm

Nef

at least I've heard (& felt) that one before, pen?

7:57 pm

Scrabbler

NM, I guessed it.

7:59 pm

penquis

yes, but my grammar school English teacher would have had a fit if I had used that word....

7:59 pm

Scrabbler

I would never use that word in a medical chart.

7:59 pm

Nef

LOL! :-)

8:00 pm

Scrabbler

"This adolescent reports feeling ti8 over the last few weeks."

8:00 pm

Nef

I wouldn't either, Scrabs; but haven't you ever felt that way (especially after a extra long day at the hospital)?

8:01 pm

Scrabbler

I have been ti8 a lot over the last 30+ years.

8:01 pm

penquis

one can be more tired or most tired, but not tiredest.....at least in my past English classes... ;o)

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

Do the two em5's come from the lower left E or the 3rd row E?

8:03 pm

Nef

I don't have either of them yet, Scrabs, Sorry.

8:03 pm

Scrabbler

They have to come from the lower left one because I just greyed out the other ones.

8:03 pm

penquis

lower left E....

8:03 pm

Scrabbler

Monkey found them--extra vowel added on the em4/8, then pluralize.

8:04 pm

penquis

i am heading out....goodnight ....

8:04 pm

Scrabbler

Sleep well, penquis.

8:04 pm

Nef

Niters, pen. Nice to "see" you again!

8:04 pm

penquis

same here, nef....bye....

8:05 pm

Nef

emyded

8:06 pm

Scrabbler

Nope, it ends with an S.

8:06 pm

Nef

OOPs. Sorry (& thanks, Scrabs)

8:08 pm

Scrabbler

46 left and I am done. See you tomorrow morning, Nef and lurkers.

8:09 pm

Nef

Niters, Scrabs. Enjoy the snow while you have it!

9:22 pm

Bugsaw

Bugsaw

9:23 pm

Bugsaw

jesdraggon

9:27 pm

bookwomen

Sedum is a word just not in this puzzle. It is a plant

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, bookwomen :)

9:30 pm

Bugsaw

that is why I tried it bookwomen. I often just guess at words

9:30 pm

Bugsaw

sometimes they even enter themselves!

9:31 pm

jesdraggon

nbt

9:31 pm

bookwomen

I do too I often make up complicated words when the simple word is in the Puzzle LOL

9:32 pm

Bugsaw

I have learned that sometimes my brain sees words that I don't consciously see so when the mood strikes, I try it.
