rururocks

Hi met

12:40 am

rururocks

It sure is nice seeing you around

12:41 am

MetFan

I'm here most days. In retirement I need something to keep the brain sharp. So here I am.....

12:42 am

sprite

babble is a nice way to do that. Plus you meet some nice people every once in a while :)

12:43 am

rururocks

Me too. I keep doing this game to stimulate my brain

12:43 am

MetFan

I remember that many of the people here are very nice people. It's just that Pugmama and I had gone onto other things. She's on Words with friends now. And she does Facebook which I refuse to do.

12:43 am

rururocks

Oh. I like quite a few people here

12:43 am

dcseain

I just took evening meds and will sleep soon. Hey, yall!

12:43 am

sprite

hi seain

12:44 am

sprite

yeah, this remains a good community. Pretty rare, nowadays.

12:44 am

rururocks

You take meds to sleep DC?

12:44 am

dcseain

i get a sleepy side effect from the diuretic i take

12:50 am

also Dutch. A Skipper is a sea captain

12:50 am

jeanne314

there is an fl6 that kind of blew my mind when I monkeyed it...just sayin'.

12:51 am

sprite

hi jeanne

12:51 am

rururocks

Yes. It is commin

12:51 am

rururocks

Common

12:53 am

jeanne314

really??? I've used the "sound" with a short syllable before it. Had no clue it was common! Good to add to my mental dictionary! And good evening sprite!

12:53 am

MetFan

Yeah, I was surprised by it too

12:53 am

jeanne314

why I love this game! And others share their knowledge...makes it fun.

12:54 am

MetFan

After I got the slang for lieutenant

12:54 am

sprite

never a dull moment with babble. That fl6 has been in grids before, but I wouldn't call it a common word in general

12:55 am

jeanne314

maybe more common in usage in places.

12:55 am

rururocks

It means drunk

12:56 am

jeanne314

and yup, it means exactly how I use it with a short syllable before it. I would say that syllable, but that might totally give it away to people in my neck of the woods (or world, for that matter)....how things go when one is drunk!

12:57 am

sprite

*grins*

12:57 am

jeanne314

which is rather how my game is going at the moment ... 93 remain.

12:58 am

rururocks

I have 123 but I am doing this on my phone

12:58 am

jeanne314

oh, dear lord! I can only play on desk- or laptop!

12:59 am

sprite

not even gonna try this on my phone. Keyboard or nothing. Sorry.

12:59 am

jeanne314

dedication!

1:00 am

dcseain

i’m using my ipad, it’s too hard on the phone, i’ve found.

1:02 am

jeanne314

quits for tonight. I just returned from a 1700-mile round trip to celebrate my beloved stepmother's 90th birthday! We had a three-day blowout involving nearly 100 people!

1:02 am

dcseain

that sounds amazing, jeanne!

1:02 am

sprite

wow, I hope she enjoyed it to the hilt. Congratulations and have a good rest.

1:02 am

rururocks

Night Jean

1:02 am

MetFan

Sounds like everyone had fun

1:02 am

jeanne314

maybe a slight exaggeration, but she is truly the matriarch and loved by all who know her.

1:03 am

jeanne314

g'night all, and good luck!

morning

9:49 am

phaeton

hello

9:50 am

hurshy

already running into trouble with Cs

9:52 am

hokie carla

same

9:52 am

hokie carla

only found 6

9:53 am

hurshy

funny that C and P are always so hard

9:53 am

hokie carla

and then got distracted by connections - super hard today

9:54 am

hurshy

when i was a toddler my blocks had C and P on opposite sides of the same block

9:54 am

hokie carla

I definitely do not remember details like that

9:54 am

hurshy

because they put A-M on one side and then N-Z matched up with those in order A-N, B-O-, C-P...

9:55 am

hurshy

well it's a family story because i had memorized what was on the other side of each block, and older children thought i was using magic or something because if i wanted a C i would reach for a P cause i knew it was on the other side

9:56 am

hurshy

obviously at that point i wasn't memorizing on purpose, it just happened by seeing them repeatedly

9:57 am

hurshy

fun times

9:57 am

hokie carla

lol

9:58 am

hurshy

as far as i can gather from pics of myself i was a reasonably happy child up until i started school

9:58 am

hokie carla

I'm sad now that I have to rely on my oldest brother for family stories. I was asking both my brothers if the dent on my forehead was from a time I hit my head and got stitches and they guessed that was probably the spot.

9:59 am

hurshy

how old would you have been when you hit your head?

10:04 am

hokie carla

I think around 2. once I hit it on the fireplace when I was in a laundry basket and it tipped over. I think that was it. I also had stitches from busting my chin in the bathtub and in my mouth when my cousin swung a baseball bat into it.

10:05 am

hurshy

i hit mine in like 4th or 5th grade so i don't need help remembering that one, i was old enough to remember it myself

10:06 am

hurshy

phantom: orifice

10:11 am

hurshy

phantom: pirate

10:16 am

hurshy

found an 8!

10:18 am

hokie carla

the only one of those I remember is the mouth one

10:18 am

hurshy

i hope that was an accident, not an evil cousin

10:20 am

hokie carla

total accident, he was only 5 or so. he & my brother were playing baseball with a tire mat for home plate, and I decided to drive a car around on it. my brother pitched the ball and my cousin swung at it, connecting with my head and splitting my mouth open on one side.

10:20 am

hurshy

it's a wonder most kids survive to adulthood

10:20 am

hokie carla

truth

10:21 am

hurshy

and that what used to make that not the case was not their crazy antics but germs

10:21 am

hokie carla

I have been pretty accident prone my entire life

10:21 am

hurshy

oh i am a Klutz

10:21 am

hokie carla

also me

10:21 am

hurshy

but usually more minor things bc i don't take risks

10:22 am

hurshy

right now my left middle finger is still recovering from when i sliced it a week and a half ago while cooking

10:22 am

hurshy

but the bandage size is reduced so my typing is better than it was a week ago

10:23 am

hokie carla

oh yeah, glad that is getting better.

10:24 am

hurshy

it really is amazing to watch the progress of healing with something like that, to observe it happening day by day

10:24 am

hurshy

i mean you break something human-made, it's not going to HEAL ITSELF

10:24 am

hokie carla

I still have a 2nd scab from a very bad friction burn on my ankle/heel area from winston almost taking my feet out from under me with a long lead. I think that was early Nov.

10:25 am

hurshy

silly winston

10:25 am

hokie carla

he was very excited to chase the ball I hadn't even thrown yet

10:27 am

hokie carla

when you plant seeds you treeify the area

10:28 am

penquis
