1:05 am

grannyrose

oh good grief! we're doing it again. from my mind to yours

1:05 am

sprite

oh wow I found the 9. Not something I am good at. Neither finding biggies or the word itself, lol

1:06 am

grannyrose

well done you sprite.

1:07 am

grannyrose

i think it was my second word. nearly fell off my chair with surprise.

1:07 am

1:08 am

grannyrose

it sure is. probably a personal best for you.

1:09 am

sprite

*takes bow* Couldn't have done it in a vacuum though, so I would like to thank all the people who helped me re5 it... my father and mother for giving birth to me... my teachers...

1:09 am

1:13 am

grannyrose

hey, how rude. Don just sat down, and no potato crisps for me. * giving him the evil eye * which has no effect as he isn't even looking at me. * sigh *

1:13 am

sprite

oh I had the most ugly mindf*ck this morning. Rob has the saturday newspaper delivered (the paper one, rest of the week is online). So when I heard the mailbox at 4 am and Nero started barking, I was like... wth? Am I so messed up about the days of the week? And oh helllllll I was supposed to do a mentor shift on Friday... omg... so I got up, did indeed find the paper... but it is a Friday/Sat/Sunday one for once, because of King's Day. Ugh.

1:14 am

sprite

he thought since you were stuffing your face with all those poffertjes, you didn't need any crisps.

1:14 am

grannyrose

no excuse.

1:15 am

grannyrose

so what time is your shift?

1:15 am

sprite

no excuses indeed. It is after eating sweet stuff that you NEED the hearty stuff.

1:15 am

sprite

9 am

1:15 am

grannyrose

have you got your pants on yet?

1:16 am

sprite

I have. No need though, it is online. Over zoom.

1:16 am

grannyrose

or is this one of your pantless days?

1:17 am

grannyrose

* snort * the mind pics are killing me

1:17 am

sprite

LOLOL

1:18 am

grannyrose

gives a whole new meaning to letting the air in...

1:18 am

grannyrose

or out...

1:19 am

sprite

way too cold for that. We are having a cold spell here, back to around freezing at night and rain during the day.

1:19 am

grannyrose

you can keep the freezing... rain is okay. it means i don't have to nag Don to water the pot plants.

1:21 am

sprite

oh it rained all day yesterday. Had to walk Nero through it, no use waiting for a dry moment

1:35 am

sprite

ah, there we are. Had trouble getting it working again

1:45 am

grannyrose

hello hello. testing, one two three

3:40 am

Kamanjah

Babble just came up for me about a minute ago. Looks like the US was the last to be able to access the site.

4:17 am

sprite

yeah, back online here as well. That was nasty.

4:18 am

Kamanjah

I hope it gets fixed so we can have our "flip"!

4:18 am

sprite

yeah, that would be great. No idea what is going on with babble the last two days. Hope Jamie figures it out.

4:19 am

sprite

Scrabbler

Aw, I wonder whose cranium will explode first?

7:03 am

crosshair

Does not help that I get one or two regular headaches a year and that is it. When I do get one it is so foreign to me that it takes me a while to figure out what is wrong.

7:04 am

Scrabbler

You are lucky. I get 2-3 migraines monthly. For 42 years.

7:05 am

A small bottle of advil will last me years, while my poor girl ride the upper dosage limits for pain relief.

8:37 am

hokie carla

tu5/12

8:38 am

hokie carla

like if you hired a tu5 (not in grid) to teach your kid after school, your kid is the tu5 you want

8:38 am

medusa

The midge thing is the singer. His last name is the last 3 letters

8:39 am

Fair point. He is scottish and a great singer

8:42 am

MollyL

That wasn't a clue. It is really stuck in my head. It was on a show I was watching the other day.

9:31 am

hokie carla

and yes, I do already have the root, so that's not my U5

9:32 am

hokie carla

mooo! just in time for my last word. this one is 1000x easier than yesterday's.

9:32 am

MollyL

The root of what? The root of un7 is different.

9:32 am

moolingwa

97 left for me :)

9:32 am

hokie carla

9:54 am

hurshy

for i had to drop off my cat Fritz at the vet for the day for an EKG

9:55 am

hurshy

he wasn't happy about it

9:55 am

hokie carla

I called our vet to book boarding for winston and they told me they only do medical boarding now but he qualifies since he is 8.

9:55 am

hurshy

well that's lucky i guess?

9:57 am

hurshy

phantom: thatch

10:00 am

hokie carla

yeah, but I think it costs twice as much

10:00 am

hurshy

:(

10:00 am

hokie carla

but I can't find any others in the area and I don't think he'd do well with someone coming here and leaving him at night.

10:02 am

welki

'morning, all (phantom: trachea)

10:03 am

welki

i hope Fritz is okay, hurshy.

(and i hear you loud and clear, carla - we have no place to leave the dogs either (and our vet does not board)

10:03 am

hokie carla

welki!

10:03 am

hurshy

yes, he just has to have an EKG before he can hopefully have a dental, because he has a slight heart murmur

10:05 am

Not sure if carla is still online, but over here (UK) people sometimes use a home sitting service for their pets, where someone stays 8n your home to look after the pets. Not sure if that's something that would work?

It might finally be time to move Babble to a new server. I've been putting it off for years. The current server has run out of space, and I'm running out of ways to make space. That's why the site has been going to down lately. Maybe this weekend. Maybe. We'll see. :)

9:36 pm

hurshy

it's interesting, about ch7, if you click it - t's from the Quechua language originally, migrated into Spanish in South America, then into English, before finally transforming into the form by which we commonly know it now: jerky (like beef jerky). language evolution and etymologies are so cool
