1:31 am

Homecoming day for Woulf! *biiiiig hug for Woulf and family* Morning all :)

1:31 am

Hail and hello..... see we are having a baby shower ?? I will change icon later.... now off to see the bab anon and then backto find some words...

1:35 am

Well that little boy is beautiful..... well done

1:39 am

hello is anyone out there ??

1:39 am

What a beauties! Wonderful baby, wonderful sister and a tired but very sweet mom! Well done mom!

1:39 am

It's such a big puzzle I think everyone is searching!

1:39 am

Did you feel you were on a monologue? LOL I am here :)

1:40 am

a little.... but this grid is fast for now...

1:40 am

Yes, as a blast, it even keeps up with my fingers today :) Nice grid too.

1:48 am

well I have found 72 words but we are having a wind storm and the power has fluctuated a few times and to be safe I am shutting down my computer ... see you all later......

1:49 am

Sorry to hear that! Good luck and see you later :)

1:58 am

Just got to say it: I LOVE the biggies today! Fairly common words, so rewarding!

2:09 am

woof?

2:10 am

Woof! (((Griffs)))) It's a great grid!

2:11 am

Sure looks like it - got a couple of the biggies. Not going to play tonight - was in a car accident today. Am okay but sore all over. Probably will be sore *and* stiff in the morning, if I don't go to work I may babble instead.

2:12 am

Ow Griffs! I am so sorry for you... you are having a streak of bad luck lately, aren't you? Take a nice and very hot shower, that will help against the stiffness tomorrow. Big hug!

2:13 am

If by that you mean about a 25-year streak of bad luck, then yes. :) I did take a hot shower. Hunter (apparently unhurt, but thrown against the back of my seat) was taken from the scene by a friend and spent the rest of the day at the daycare and didn't get home until late. So I tihnk we will just see how we are in the morning. You have a great day!

2:17 am

(Perspective: The morning began by my being late to work because you couldn't get across town from the massive pileup caused by a guy with a stolen car - one died there, plus there was gunplay in the chase that follows. All I have is a possibly totaled car and some aches and pains. No worries. 'Night.)

2:17 am

I'll be thinking of you. Best of luck... to make up for those 25 years ;)

2:18 am

Bye Griffs! It's quite an adventure... that you could certainly have done without. I hope Hunter is perfectly alright as well.

2:20 am

Morning, all!

A 8/40

2:38 am

Just arrive here, What the hell is this saloon grid alll about? Is this an old cowboy town typa grid?

2:40 am

hi yall, is there any J words, if is please clue me in thx...:)

2:42 am

There are 3 J words. One and its plural is a Muslim Holy War.

2:44 am

thxs dalmatian...")

2:44 am

You're welcome.

i monkey-typed the 3rd J-word. I have NO clue what it means

2:45 am

oh man... i keep goin round and round... and only 125 sofar

2:46 am

I see here your form s. carolina dalmatian? hows the weather, trying to move out of this sin city...:)

2:47 am

Southern California - near Disneyland. We have yet to see winter weather.

2:49 am

oops, my eyes are deceiving me:) i have until 6:30 am to get off work.

2:50 am

Are you in Vegas?

2:51 am

yes...tell by the sin...}

2:51 am

What kind of work do you do?

2:52 am

I work in a rehab hospital as a monitor tech.

2:53 am

Sounds like it should usually be quiet at night. Why do you want to leave Vegas and where would you like to go? Sounds like you could get a job just about anywhere.

2:56 am

the city is too fast for me, I don't like the enviroment here. I'm used to the southern cali. weather. heres its either too hot or too cold. if not for school, I'd be out of this place.

2:57 am

So many people were moving to Nevada when the housing was cheap but I understand prices are going up like crazy. You cannot afford to buy property in So. Cal any more!

3:01 am

thats ok, after school in the next 3 years I could. I could afford the house here, but I think my bed and my neighbor's bed are like next to each other. I'd like some space between me and the neighbor.

3:01 am

Hang in there - three years will pass before you know it!

3:02 am

thxs:)

3:06 am

If this is turning out to be any kind of Jihad grid, then I'd rather not join.

3:08 am

265 words today, it seems.

3:10 am

(But the grid says I have 205 words to find?)

3:13 am

Stats tell me the 'n' and the ' o' on the bottom line are all found?

3:13 am

205?

3:16 am

265 words in grid? Sighs and goes off to boil some eggs.

3:18 am

Wow... i have done 140... seems so far away

3:20 am

It's those last missing words that drive you crazy. Large puzzles usually start off fast and then at some point you hit that stone wall! I need 83 more words and cannot see another one in the grid!

3:20 am

H 9/66

3:24 am

hahahahahahaha.... here in Malaysia... eventhough english is our seconf language, it is pretty cool to have a game that has words that make no sense to us....

3:39 am

3:41 am

actually the fourth J word should be recgonised as valid.. but somehow....

3:44 am

Pauls' version (the UB40 one) of Red, Red Wine: Red, red wine Go to my head Make me forget that i Still need her so Red, red wine It`s up to you All I can do, i`ve done But mem`ries won`t go No, mem`ries won`t go I`d have thought That with time Thoughts of her Would leave my head I was wrong And I find Just one thing makes me forget Red, red wine Stay close to me Don`t let me be alone It`s tearin` apart My blue, blue heart ---red red wine rap section--- Red red wine you make me feel so fine You keep me rocking all of the time

Oh baggo, that's the stuff of nightmares! Or mine at least...lol! Did you get them back?

6:15 am

yep i tried my hardest...i couldn't even send a note to dr_g...oh well...first time i havent' finished in months...and noone was chattin either...there was not post for over an hour...

6:16 am

maybe it just looked like that cos your screen froze, Baggo? Sometimes that happens to me, then I refresh, and loads of messages appear.

6:17 am

alas it was just a sad babbler day for me...then i find today... all is well with the world..

6:23 am

6:36 am

Bye Lola, Baggo, Jacula

6:39 am

I have e9, h9 and t9, which is the other one?

6:39 am

ok, I know this is likely a dumb question...but I'm curious. When there is no second letters list posted on BA, how does one know if a word is, for example, a p5?

6:40 am

we don't Angel, until we find it! :/

6:41 am

I don't know yet either, Yoink :/

6:43 am

Does anyone know how many words there are today? It seem B.A. isn't updated yet.

6:43 am

265 total today, :)

6:43 am

265 words today.

6:44 am

THANKS

6:44 am

y/w JJ :)

6:46 am

When I started on babble there were no BJ's llists or BabAnon or even the pro verion. BabAnon and BJ's lists are nothing to do with Dr_G and are done on a voluntary basis for which we thankBJ and swmbo!

6:47 am

I remember those days, Ho Hum! Wasn't so long ago, was it? :)

6:47 am

I don't have a lot of time to play right now - need to do yoga and get a shower. But, I think it is kind of fun to try to do it without the helps. of course, by tonight, I'll be wishing I had them<G>

6:47 am

summer last year I think.

6:48 am

mornin babblers! looks like a long puzzle today!

6:49 am

seems to me one of the po4/5's and one of the s4's ought to be a word.

6:49 am

*EvaNadine gets the Wednesday Whammy* : D

6:49 am

*counteracts Wednesday Whammy with a super-Wednesday Whallop*

6:51 am

*squirms free with a Wednesday Wiggle and Woots!*

6:51 am

6:52 am

6:52 am

I see it eva.

6:52 am

I can see a baby, Evanadine. Very cute too! :)

6:52 am

Hi Babs : ) EvaN I can see a stork : )

6:53 am

how odd...this computer never used to have trouble updating, now it refuses!

6:53 am

Hi Anj, Eva, Musicmom :)

6:54 am

Hi Anj :)

6:54 am

Hi Yoink, Musicmom : ) EvaN, could be a cache problem...

6:55 am

Hey Chessy : ) You're a pro : D

6:55 am

possibly...but if i clean out my cache, i lose everything for all my other sites too... never used to be a problem. *pouts*

6:55 am

Hi all. off to the yoga mat. back in about an hour or so - probably.

6:55 am

you've been peeking :)

6:57 am

i'm back.....i just had to take the kids to school...morning all that i didn't see earlier...

6:58 am

And I'm off for my lunch with 87 left, later all

6:58 am

7:00 am

bye yoink...

7:00 am

laters Babs, Yoink, Hi Baggo : )

7:00 am

I havent left! :/

7:02 am

...ah, your 'see you later' was a disguise then?? ; )

7:02 am

no...... it was 'see you later' for Yoink. :'(

7:03 am

babs, do you have all of the 9's? I have t9, e9, h9...missing one.

7:03 am

Awww, sorry dear (((Babs))) welcome back then ; )

7:03 am

hah! S in upper right all grey! sorry, Angel, don't have all the 9s yet. I have the same as you. :/

7:04 am

LOL Anj!!! taaa duck! ;D

7:06 am

*Anj scurries off to take the H9 out of his profile* : /

7:07 am

did you really have that word in your profile????

7:08 am

I didn't see it.... was it there??

7:08 am

did you leave a note as to something that would be put on your h9????

7:08 am

Yup...they're a Canadian band (with an -s) and i've been listening to an album of theirs recently...

7:09 am

I should mention in passing that they are/were a very good band too... Not sure if they're still going now : /

7:10 am

have I heard of them?

7:11 am

Not sure Babs, I found them courtesy of Last.FM... I don't think they ever made it big here.

I everyone big grid todayand no brandyjack

7:13 am

ho rosalind : ) it's not that bad. I only have 65 to go.... (verrry proud of myself!!) :)

7:13 am

hi I mean!!! lol!! obviously it's the typos that have got me the score, lol!! :D

7:13 am

long puzzle today. No help. I feel so dumb without Brandyjack around with his 2nd letter help. :)

7:14 am

ive got 155 to go, and not a long word (7, 8, or 9) in sight!

7:16 am

i have the top row gray now, and the left side except for those ugly j's....

7:16 am

I'm off to work. Will try to get back tonight for a bit, but I likely won't finish the grid.

well done babbler I will keep plodding on

7:20 am

...got the bottom 4 Ss, but it took me 9 of the middle Ss to find them... : /

7:21 am

i've got 2 of them so far....

7:21 am

i'm working my way around the outside then going for the ugly middle, but isn't it funny how you think that one word should start from one letter and it's another...

7:21 am

i just got my last 2 of the bottom Ses -- they may be easier to find if youre drunk. ;)

7:23 am

Thanks Eva... :-/ not that i am that at 8in the am...8-)

7:23 am

heh, me neither, but as tired as i am most mornings, it about the same functionality!

7:24 am

i know that feeling...:-)

7:25 am

i atually read an article that compared your state of mind first thing in the morning to being drunk (in terms of motor skills + stuff like that) and it said that for up to 2 hours after waking up, you may be functioning with the same judgment and abilities as if you were intoxicated...

7:25 am

...just been hanging around the bottom right N ; )

7:27 am

i'd believe it, i ready about a study that was being done on people that worked nightshift to see how they function etc, some had to take 20 min naps it will be interesting to try and find that in a bit and see what became of it..

7:27 am

eva, that's me, all day, every day... :/

7:28 am

you wanna know about sleep dep, talk to me .... :(

7:28 am

8:06 am

Thanks baggo! Finally have all the 8's & 9's. Now on to the rest of the 7's.

{{{JEN}}} How ya doin', hon?

8:45 am

Um, why are you apologising une??

8:46 am

8:46 am

seriously, how many have you got so far? if you look to the left of this site it says babblers anonymous, select that, then select word list and it wil give you a list of all the 1st and 2nd letters of each word

Although we've had more than our fair share of sunny warm weather up here!

8:54 am

LOL KLP - there are 4 x 9 letters hidden - welcome to the joys of babble, wait til you see a grid with no s's or ed' or ways to extend words and only about 2 vowels.... and it still insists there are 100 word in there somewhere!

Trouble is Une, it will take the rest of our day!

9:23 am

Does anyone have the en 9/54? I only have two en words.

Greetings Babblers! Real Life has made it impossible to chat with you here, although I do occasionally Babble when the games are small. I added more pix to Greywoulf's origianl 3, they are posted on the message board Babblers Anonymous :) SWMBO

Thanks again ARB!

10:18 am

Thanks ARB! : )

10:18 am

ah, thanks ARB, didn't know you could spell those with an e (assuming they're the same as with an i)

10:18 am

Nooooooo! Brandyjack, where are you? Not only do I have to figure out words, but as of now I must figure out the total # of words per letter from the grid! How much can a brain take? Aarrrggh!

10:20 am

ARB......what about a second letter list for the A's?

10:20 am

hmm... these de6's, is the de a prefix? i keep trying to add every four i have that would attach to it but it won't take even the most plausible...

10:20 am

You are all welcome -- Remember i am 8 hours ahead of the US, and have "wasted" most of the day figuring out these words!

10:21 am

jj555 - it exists at 8:50, as i discovered

10:21 am

ARB, could you give us a nudge in the direction of the dh5 and dh6 please? : )

10:21 am

hurshy, the de words, first one looks as if it means to take pointed things off front of a cow (your h4) then just change last letter to a t ...(and plural)

10:21 am

The A's aahed 5 14 aahs 4 5 aero 4 4 aerosol 7 28 aerosols 8 40 ahead 5 14 ayes 4 6

10:22 am

oh NO ARB!

10:22 am

dh + what is shouted at a bullfight - then plural

10:22 am

The A's aa 5 14 aa 4 5 ae 4 4 ae 7 28 ae 8 40 ah 5 14 ay 4 6

10:23 am

thanks chessy. the dh's - sometimes you call someone an a-****, short for a word referring to the anus. replace a with d.

10:23 am

Thanks macuser! I was monkeying in completely the wrong direction! : )

10:23 am

dh = wild asian dog(s)

10:23 am

oh, macuser's clue much nicer than mine. :)

10:24 am

SORRY -- hit the Post Button in stead of the down arrow. Mea Culpa

10:24 am

11:49 am

WooooooHooooo! Well done hurshy and babbler! : D

11:50 am

Here's two more for the sh list, babs. (I was interrupted by my son who called to let me know the baby which is due today will probably not come til next week. So I'm changing travel plans. It's their first and her mom won't be there so I'm flying out to help out.) Anyway, add sh 5/14 and sh 6/24 to the end of your list.

sh 7/8 her + what plants get their water from (compound word)

11:50 am

thank you thank you thank you thank you !! wasn't it just like the old days?? :D faberoony!

11:52 am

smaller, my favorite thing about being 33 is when I get carded for liquor and it's the one time I actually BOAST about being so old! lol

11:52 am

hurshy, do you use a2z?

11:52 am

Mab, your icon is gorgeous! : )

11:53 am

no, i can't access a2z. sometimes i use morewords - but actually i didn't today

11:53 am

dang! I gotta get back to work. See you kids around lunch time. WST anyhow.

11:53 am

me neither, hurshy! just the grid and you guys : )

11:53 am

jen, yes, that IS a great ego boost when you get carded!

11:53 am

Nice one hurshy! : )

11:53 am

Can't take credit for it, smaller; just plucked it from google, but it is sweet, isn't it? Rah, rah, then Lola! Go Lola, go lola...!

11:54 am

yeah, it was a pretty fun day. :) but i'm glad we do have the list usually!

11:54 am

how many to go, Lola?

11:54 am

bye boreetos...... thanks for that happy birthday!

11:55 am

17 : / lol!

11:55 am

me too, hurshy, I couldn't do this every day. (I'm not as fast as you and other supersonics!) : )

11:55 am

c'mon Lola!!! c'mon!! :D

11:56 am

i don't FEEL supersonic...

11:56 am

*reaches over and puts a good old glass of champers on Lola's desk, to help and inspire her to the finish* : D

11:56 am

shurrup, hurshy, you are supersonic! ; D

11:56 am

Aaaargh! The ha5/18, ha5/16 and ha6/27 are tying me up in knots!!!

It posted about four down, but when you're desperate, you can find things I guess! Thanks for the help Hursh. I thought the grid was fairly easy today. Not a bunch of "butthead" words, either that or I've used them all so many times they are easy to spot!

11:57 am

ok everyone, bunny has posted the stats on bab anon if you haven't got them yet

11:57 am

*lola gulps down champers and pulls herself together*

11:57 am

Lola, dried grass? build on that....

11:57 am

lola - all to do with what you should make while the sun shines...

11:57 am

Thanks again bunny! You rock!

Lola, addd onto the word for the grass that cattle eat.

11:58 am

i agree bunny

11:58 am

*sigh* thanks babs and hurshy....think I need a break. Or more coffee. Or chocolate... : )

If I could only get paid for Babbling, it'd be a perfect owrld!

11:59 am

*reaches over and puts a great big humungous slab of cadburys on Lola's desk* tuck in, luv! : D

11:59 am

lol, amen to that bunny. imagine a world where it was essential to find words in grids - like to prevent a war or something...and so this was super-important work

12:00 pm

yeah, hurshy!! Imagine the overtime I'd get, seeing as I never sleep! LOL! :D

<snatching one from Lola's desk...hmmm...cadbury's!>

12:01 pm

ok, y'all are making me hungry - i should go have lunch.

12:01 pm

hey, I saw that!!! That's Lola's stash!!! tsk tsk *reaches over and puts a NEW slab of cadburys on bunny's desk* : D

Bab's telling the truth! I've been in here in the middle of the night, day, morning and afternoon, and she's here. You might need some rest!

12:02 pm

awww, shucks, I thought nobody noticed li'l ol' me..... :')

12:02 pm

btw, i'm not from the south, i'm just a pragmatic new englander who feels that y'all is the easiest way to distinguish plural you from singular you. and babbler - why don't you sleep?

12:03 pm

Aww, thanks babs! *pops block of chocolate into mouth* I must go feed small person, back in a bit : )

12:03 pm

Insomnia, hurshy. :/

I was starting to think you were automated!

12:03 pm

bunny, *checks self*.... I might be! dunno! I don't know anything anymore... :/

12:04 pm

have you tried anything for it - right now i'm on klonopin. once it gets you back in rhythm, then you can go off it and stay in rhythm (in theory)

12:04 pm

see you later, Lola : ) I'll look after your stash of chocolate, don't worry!

It's not so much sleeping, it's dreaming. I'm prone to nightmares I can't tell from reality, so I tend to average about 3-4 hours nightly...don't know if you'd call that insomnia or psychotic...

12:05 pm

hursh, thanks. :) tried just about everything. I'm funny about meds, though, I don't react well. I get all the side-effects and none of the benefits, so they're not worth it.

12:05 pm

Bye Lola! Poor Bunny! I think that qualifies as a sleep disorder.

12:05 pm

gosh, bunny, i have really bad nightmares occasionally too, but not that often - even so i started going to a therapist to see if i could get rid of them (haven't had any in quite a while, actually)

There's always whiskey!

12:06 pm

I woke up from a bad dream today, bunny, after about one hour or 1.5 hours. Can't remember it now... : /

12:06 pm

bunny, what are your nightmares like? chases?

I dream about wrecking the car with the kids in , my husband leaving me , fire...you name it. I don't want to sound like a sicko, but usually it's about something happening to my children.

12:08 pm

Good Morning Everyone and Good Morning to GreyWoulfe and his family.

12:08 pm

that's anxiety, bunny. extreme anxiety if anything.

The worst part is my inability to do anything about what is happening in the dream... <chews on prozac>

12:09 pm

hi cyber : )

12:09 pm

do they reflect your anxieties in real life at all, bunny?

12:09 pm

bad dreams??? i am a bad dream!!! sorry you guys are having bad dreams....have you tried the herbs valerian and st john's wort???? 8)

12:09 pm

mine are always about extreme cruelty. someone intentionally torturing me and enjoying it, who won't stop no matter how much i beg. and i've never had any traumatic experiences that would explain why i would dream things like that.

12:09 pm

bunny, I was talking to my daughter-in-law yesterday and told told her I wondered if I'm normal obsessing and worrying so much about my grandchildren. It's even worse than with my own children when they were little. God bless you!

I don't feel like a nervous wreck. This point in our lives is the best it's ever been, we are really on track. But, I'm also not working for the first time sibnce I was 14....

12:10 pm

hi Ren : ) superb icon!!

12:10 pm

thanks babbler - i just wrote the name on it....8)

12:11 pm

hurshy, might sound daft, but are you kind to yourself? or your own worst enemy? It's funny how corny dream messages are sometimes.

I'm VERY over-protective of my kids! Stephen wants me to get on meds so I sleep better, but I've tried so many and I don't like them, they affect the way I am when I'm awake, like my ability to get angry (which he likes). It's healthy to vent!

12:12 pm

Hi Ren!!! cute icon!!!!! it's PERFECT!!!

12:12 pm

Melatonin is what I use to help me sleep (in addition to trazodone)... melatonin can actually be found in the natural herbs/vits section of any grocery store. Works wonders!!!

12:12 pm

what do you mean, exactly, babbler?

12:12 pm

bunny, you know why you're having your dreams, don't you? I hope they go away soon.

<looking at marble>, think I mis-understood the assignment!

12:13 pm

I've also had melatonin and found it realy helped my sleep

12:13 pm

hey smaller - how's the birthday girl? lots of presents????

12:13 pm

today's baby shower day - marble day is...tomorrow?

12:13 pm

Bunny, I have had insomnia since I was a kid (yes, even at the tender age of 5, I remember not being able to sleep!)... a small dose of trazodone (I'm on 100mg at bedtime) does the trick with no sleeping-pill side-effects.

Yup, I'm slobbering, run down the road naked covered in strawberry jam, talk to dead people crazy, and lovin it!

12:14 pm

renny! Doing GREAT!!! Loads of presents. The best kind of presents: wonderful sentiments and wishes. And thank you to you for yours!!!

12:14 pm

I'm just going to jump in with both feet and ask for advice - I'm staring at the grid and doing nothing thinking about this. And as we're already on the subject of bad dreams and nasty things ... my mother-in-law died last weekend and her funeral is on friday. fine. but now Ive just found out my best best best friend / sister has an emergency operation on Friday and she'll be on her own going into hospital / waking up, cos her mother is also in hospital (a different hospital!). Which one should I go to? Funeral or hospital care? *sigh*

12:14 pm

hurshy, (without sounding like I know everything, cos I don't! so please ignore if it doesn't apply), I was referring back to when I had similar dreams and I noticed I wasn't always my own best friend in real life. A lot of old recurring nightmares have gone since I started being kinder and more forgiving of myself. That's what I meant. : )

12:14 pm

lol!! bunny, stop it!! :D

12:15 pm

Atalante, you're the only one who can make that decision. Would it be possible to go to both places in one day?

Atla, rough choice! If it were me, I'd go to the hospital. I think the deceased relative would understand, and you can grieve for her no matter where you are...

12:16 pm

Just popped in to say hello and bye! Bunny, thankyou so much, I had about 34 to go and without your list I couldn't have done it. What a pain for the middle of the week. It was a bit like the old days though and I used lots of other lists posted in the log. Thanks all.

12:16 pm

Melatonin is a banned substance in the UK! Can you believe it?? You used to be able to buy it. (not that it worked on me anyway).

12:16 pm

I'm sorry, Atalante - how stressful. I think I'd go to my friend if my husband could manage on his own.

12:17 pm

no *sigh* she'll be waking up from the op at about the same time as the funeral starts and the two places are about 2 hours apart!

But, that's just me. Bab's right, do what you feel is best!

12:17 pm

well babs, i have been trying what you say, and haven't had any in a while, so maybe you are right!

12:17 pm

Melatonin's available on prescription in the Uk. I had it for several months

12:18 pm

Tigereye, you're kidding!!?? I asked my GP for it, and she checked her big book and said it wasn't available! :'(

12:18 pm

I want to go to the hospital - I feel as if I'd be more use there - I was just wondering whether that was a really "bad" thing to do!

12:18 pm

No way! Banned? And you guys have all these freaky over-the-counter deoderants that you can only get by script here that actually stop you from creating sweat! (I know, because I stocked up when I was over there last)

12:18 pm

I got prescribed it from my GP at the hospital last summer

12:19 pm

atalante... so sorry for you to have to make that choice. i'd have to agree with the others and choose the friend.

Hmmm, I'm iffy on meds (especially herbal, and especially if I just have to take them because my brain is on melt down!). I't expensive. The only time I've really budged is in labor. I went in saying all natural. YEAH, RIGHT!

12:20 pm

It's the right thing to do, then Atalante. Truly, the living are who need us. And it is so awful to be alone in the hospital. I don't think you should feel badly at all.

12:20 pm

Atalante, follow your instincts. (and go see your friend, I think).

12:20 pm

Boots Pharmacy also has a product called "Calms" that I have used for myself, as well as a very small dose to help my cat when travelling overseas... not as good as melatonin, but not bad.

Maybe shortly after, you could go to the gravesite with your husband alone...

12:21 pm

atalante...i agree w/ mab...if your husband is strong enough to handle the funeral, then i would care for the living....ask who needs you the most????? don't put yourelf in a guilt ridden position....

12:21 pm

thank you everyone! *hugs* I feel a bit better about doing what I immediately wanted to do - ie go to the hospital!

12:21 pm

I'm sure I've tried 'Calms'. I had a bad experience with an over-the-counter sleeping tablet once. I didn't take it with water, and my tongue swelled up and I couldn't breathe. So I thought, right if this is it, I'm having a cigarette! And that took the swelling away. Scary moment. :(

Jen? You dope your cat when traveling?

12:22 pm

I am a lifelong insomniac also. I take klonopin and benedryl together for sleep. If I don't sleep, I get the black dogs.

12:22 pm

bunny's right, Atalante, you can visit with your husband later. :)

12:22 pm

just a warning - dont take calms or anything with st john's wort in if you're already on antidepressants of any prescribed kind - can make everything go very very wrong!

12:23 pm

I know all about the black dogs, Mab :(

12:23 pm

i take children's benedryl and xanex..i stayed awake for 6 weeks once....arghhhhh was i a green meanie or what???

12:24 pm

I did when we moved from VA to SPain... it was a veeeery long MAC (military) flight... something like 13 hours without being able to come out of her kennel; the vet actually told us to do it.

12:24 pm

I stick to yoga breathing and music at the minute. Lavendar seems to stimulate my mind too much. I do the 'in for 3, hold for 3, out for 6' breathing technique. Then there's always sudoku....

12:24 pm

Quick hello! Snowed in today, so i am actually able the Babble YEAY! It is so long, I am sure no one remembers me, but I do recognise quite a few names.

I just pictured you with kitty tucked under your arm on a boat deck, slipping valium into a tiny kitty martini!

12:25 pm

afternoon all -- been buried under a pile of work all day!!

12:25 pm

HEEEEEEEEY SWMBO! Long time no see! How you doin'? :)

12:25 pm

I remember you, Swimmy!!! Hiya!! :D

12:25 pm

something else - lycopodium I've found is great for panic attacks / anxiety - homeopathic thingy

Hello Eva and swmbo!

12:25 pm

not remember you swmbo....that's like not remembering rumpole!!!!

12:26 pm

Swimmy! How nice to see you!

12:26 pm

just gotta empty the washing machine..... brb..... :)

12:26 pm

Bunny, that's a very funny picture, but alas, no. MAC flights are what we call the "cattle hauler" meaning they cram about 7 more rows of seats into a regular 747 (ergo no leg room or ability to lean back), tons of screaming kids, and all animals have to go below.

oh yeah, there's a house around me.....mine has one of those, forgot how to ue it...

12:28 pm

Like not remembering Rumpole??? That is one of the nicest thinsg anyone has said to me lately!!! I hjave been well, but very busy. This blizzard is a welcome rest LOL What is new in Babbleland? I know greywoulf has a new babay because I posted the pix for him. What else?

12:28 pm

I think I have tried everything, but cannot control black dogs without real meds, and even then am prone to relapse. I am resigned to the fact.

sounds yucky, too bad the screaming kids can't go below... I remember when the news here was covering how animals got treated in cargo holds on planes. It was horrible!

hmmm, it's smallers b-day.... and we're all crazy insomniacs! Sums it up.

12:30 pm

The people that load the planes are AF airmen, so they aren't as bad as regular civvie baggage loaders. I actually got very used to the MAC flights when I was over there... flew to Siciliy and Italy about every other month for shopping/eating. But you are right about the kids... I think they needed heavy sedation! Not even our stash of on-board liquor helped us cope!

Mab..black dogs? Bags under eyes?

12:31 pm

Mab, I'm trying to control black dogs without meds. So far so good..... though I have a whole myriad of coping techniques! lol! : )

12:32 pm

Ren, you remind me of my manic patients who would walk the hospital halls with their eyes closed -- they were so tired, but their brains woud not let them rest. Some would be so snowed with meds and still moving, poor things.

12:32 pm

and I got pretty much ordered to start taking meds a few years ago - and I'm soooo grateful I did!

I flew with my three before I had the twins, they were all under 6. People walked by us when the flight landed and commented on how well behaved they were, that they didn't even know I had children with me, and then glanced at the screamers in the front of the plane. Some parents! I could see a child under two behaving noisily, but these kids were 8, 9!

12:33 pm

My Crohn's Disease maintenece meds don't help my sleep out at all... I have one I take in the morning that if I forget and take it after 10AM, I can't get to sleep!

12:35 pm

Jen - the friend I was talking about before - her op is her latest Crohn's related op. Horrid disease

12:35 pm

Ren, I've never stayed awake for as long as 6 weeks!! Goodness me! 2 days seems to be my max.

12:35 pm

any help for the (re6/21, re7/32) and the last re6/21

12:36 pm

I don't take anything for Crohn's. I don't think it helps me at all. But then I've been avoiding gastroenterologists for several years; I should probably check in to see if they've come up with something new.

re 6/21 re + wear on foot re 7/32 re + use a gun re 7/32 re + they ****** the light in her eyes

12:37 pm

if you can manage without Crohn's meds - go for it! Think yourself lucky and stay away from doctors LOL!

12:37 pm

re6/21 - re + footwear re7/32 - re + lit? re6/21 - re - make the film all over again?

12:38 pm

Oh, Atalante, that's awful. I've had a Crohn's related surgery, and it's pretty rough. I think your friend could really use your support.

brb, i forgot to put the brisket in the oven!!!

12:40 pm

she tends to end up in hospital every few months with various Crohn's side-effects and stuff. How she manages, I will never ever know

12:40 pm

Thanks for the help -- got em all!!..well the re's

Kind of off topic, but has anyone had their gall bladder removed?

12:41 pm

i'm a new "pro" and i welcome advice on how to not be addicted to this game. grin

12:42 pm

Atalante, I've learned which foods to which I'm allergic, and that has made all the difference. I still have emergency partial obstructions, but I know that if I can get to the emergency room, the pain meds will stop the escalation. Then I go home to recuperate.

12:42 pm

How to not get adddicted? Don't start playing ever

Other than don't play? Sorry....

12:42 pm

Oh Atl!!! I pray for her! It's awful! I have been lucky... I have moderate/severe Crohn's but have not had to have (knock wood) surgery. When I have a flare up, I used to take prednisone, but am now prednisone resistant; luckily haven't had a flare-up (knock wood again!) in over a year so the imuran (thank God I don't want more kids!) and the Pentasa (17 of the pills a day!!) must be working.

12:42 pm

Hi everyone, I've not had mine removed but a friend and my mother had there's removed.

12:42 pm

i think the only way to NOT get addicted to the game is to not play...hehe or else create a mental rule that once starting a puzzle, you MUST finish it -- thats prevented several babblers from becoming TOO addicted...

I was only wondering, my husband had his out about a year and a half ago, but he is still having pains like when it was there. He's one of those "won't go to the doctor unless I pass out and you drag me" types. I was wondering what could be causing the pain?

12:44 pm

evaN, that's how I play it... if I start, I have to finish. Ergo, I don't do the 300+ puzzles! :)

12:44 pm

my dad had his out a few years ago...doesnt have those pains anymore...

12:45 pm

mab and jen - I feel for you both! Its funny, my friend's actual classic Crohn's isn't *too* bad, but the side-effects she has that involve her immune system are just scary. In the last 2 or 3 years, she's had her bladder removed, had her jaw reconstructed twice, had a hysterectomy and just recently had a double mastectomy, all due to immune system issues related to the Crohn's. Now you can see why I want to be there with her!!!

I thought maybe they missed a stone or scar tissue... His mom has him convinced he's growing a new one (don't get me started on the in-laws).

12:46 pm

jen -- i used to have that rule, but then id end up stressing myself out about it! id pass my work off onto others so i could finish babble!! then i remembered one day that the whole reason i even started babbling was to de-stress when i was at work...now i just play and i finish i finish...most days i dont...

12:46 pm

growing a new one?!! *blinks*

That's horrible. I don't know anything about Crohne's, but that is just awful....

12:47 pm

I'm so sorry for your friend, At! That sounds dreadful.

Yup, she used to be a nurse, so he listens to her. I was pregnant with Eycsis when I was 16, some of the stuff she told me had me in tears when I went into labor.

12:49 pm

I haven't had too many side effects from the Crohn's except retina swelling (which made contacts impossible for about 5 years) and thinning hair. The thing that kills me about GI's is that 3/4s of the time their "necessary" surgeries are not necessary! Nothing cures Crohn's and the only thing you should do the GI surgeries for is if you have stomas, blockages, etc. removing part of a bad gut ain't gonna cure it. Sorry... I rant a lot about Crohn's! :)

12:49 pm

Growing a new gallbladder? Bunny, is your husband a starfish by any chance?

Yes, I know, awful young to be having a baby...

12:50 pm

since i dont know much... is Crohns something youre born with or something you develop? i dont think i know anyone with it, but it sounds pretty common if you read this chatlog!

If he were, I'd cut him in half and grow two! Woo hoo! Nope, just has an "eccentric" mother.

12:51 pm

Oh, yes, Jen. They always want to jump to the scalpel!

money, money, money

12:52 pm

ok, how can "poos" not be a word?? i know people who do it every day!!

slang for poop.... dunno Eva!

12:53 pm

evaN, no one knows how you get it, and that's why they haven't found a cure. Some evidence shows that breast-feeding helps protect, some races are more susceptible (eastern-Eur Jews for one)... no one knows where I inherited mine. Although it first showed up after a VERY stressful event ( death of my grandmother/best friend and a solo trip to Europe)

12:53 pm

Put an h on the end, eva.

12:53 pm

and why CAN you have Winnie the *****?

12:55 pm

well I rant a lot about Crohn's, Jen, and I dont even have it! As far as I know, there is a genetic component - at least in some cases, otherwise, who knows - I guess as with anything immune system based, any time of big stress could cause problems

12:55 pm

frightening the things your body can do to itself for seemingly no reason... the mom of one of the girls i teach has had a year or so + somewhat unexplainable health problems + it sounds like they now have an explaination...for instance, id guess shes about 30-35 and had a series of strokes out of the blue!

12:56 pm

That's why I am part of CCFA (Crohn's Colitis Foundation of America)... they do a lot of lobbying for research.

12:56 pm

1 to go...the sh4/5 after the sh8/45...HELP!!!!!!!

12:57 pm

It is a mysterious auto-immune thing - one's body just turns on itself. Thus the other problems. I have arthritis (which I treat with yoga) and a few other relatively minor surprises. No cure. Cut and it just comes back. Damned annoying.

12:57 pm

Ouwachita -- this is probably the wrong one since i still have lots of Ses to go, but the one ive got right after the 8 is what you wear on your foot

12:59 pm

I think Crohns is genetic too. I knew a girl who had it and was being treated for it after it flared up. She had a twin who had no symptoms, but she had to go for check ups and treatment too. If I remember rightly, she had it too.

12:59 pm

evan...I typed that several times and it didnt show up...thanks for the help

12:59 pm

DONE>...anyone need help before I go???

12:59 pm

Ouwa, that kept happening to me too, today. are you done? Congrats! : )

1:00 pm

still have 96 words to go...heh

Think I'm gonna get to, see ya'll tomorrow!

1:00 pm

i need the last sh4/5 please

1:00 pm

see you tomorrow, bunny, for Marbles Day!! LOL! ;D

1:01 pm

sh4/5...Lincoln got this in Ford's Theater while watching "Our American Cousin"

1:01 pm

macuser - vaccination ?

1:01 pm

Well done Ouwachita!!!! I'm off to my bath and then to pick up my poor old car from the mechanic (among other mechanical things, the hood fell off!).

It's a baby shower marble, haven't you heard of those? Two birds with one stone! Bye all.

1:02 pm

awww! poor car!

1:02 pm

Thank you - I had the plural but not the singular - DUH!

1:02 pm

Oy! evaN, I still have over 150 to go!! Gosh darned medical causes! Holding me back.... well, that and the SH's! ;)

1:02 pm

see you later, Mab : )

1:03 pm

macuser -- thanks, cause i had the singular, not the plural! hehe

1:03 pm

58 to go - and I'm trying to not give in and look at babanon!

1:04 pm

Later, take care of your dear selves, everyone.

1:04 pm

Don't worry Atalante......B.A. doesn't have the list for today anyway!

1:04 pm

bye mab

1:05 pm

Hi All - why isn't shoop the singular of sheep? You know one shoop two sheep!

1:08 pm

Bunny posted stats for today. It's the 3rd one down or something in BabAnon. :) c'mon, Atalante, you can do it! : )

1:09 pm

hi Snowy : )

how come the plural of a baby kangaroo isn't accepted?

1:10 pm

hi Mark : )

hey Babbler...howzit?

1:11 pm

Hi Babbler! Big one today and still have 126 to find! But must watch Who do you Think You Are? @ 9.00 so it could be a long night!

1:11 pm

Hi Mark

hi Snowy, how r things?

1:13 pm

Mark, I've finished today's grid and very happy about it! :) Snowy, who's on tonight's show? Is it Julian Clary?

congrats! i've just started....how many are there today? (cringing...)

1:14 pm

LOl Busy Mark - but only with the grandchildren - Am really fed up with the cold weather tho'! If I ever win the lottery I will be somewhere warm for Jan & Feb!

1:14 pm

1:14 pm

1:15 pm

1:48 pm

1:49 pm

Jen- Back when I had a spare minute or two, I played a little. I could never compete with your guys though. ;)

1:49 pm

Oh Jaimie, thanks so much!!! I have no life and no easy way to manage my auctions. What a guy. :-P Now you're going to drain away what little life I have left. sigh.

1:50 pm

1:50 pm

ooh, any hints on the secret, Dr God?

1:50 pm

So.... does anyone here like sudoku? :)

1:51 pm

1:51 pm

Hi Dr. God!!! Just noticed you were here... was checking back in the log for a 2 letter list...... thanks Une for the partial one!!! Another game, Dr. G????????? *mamabear has goosebumps - but you can't see them because they are under the fur - but they ARE THERE!*

1:51 pm

I love sudoku :) and Hi Dr_God :)

1:51 pm

We'll all just follow the line of least resistance as usual LOL Wonder if the husband will mind me staying in the computer room for the other half of my life!

1:51 pm

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo don't do this to me!!!!

1:52 pm

in much smaller doses than i like babble...hehe

1:52 pm

tijani, I am an alumna and rabid Nole fan. Penn State may have beaten us in TRIPLE overtime, but I would have to say that we didn't do too bad considering we were ranked 23 and we almost beat the number 3 (?!?!?!?!) team in the nation. AND, Bowden is still ahead of JoePa in overall wins

1:52 pm

re 4 5 re 5 12 re 5 16 re 4 5 re 4 5 re 6 21 re 7 32 re 7 32 re 8 45 re 6 21 re 6 18 rh 4 5 rh 4 5 ro 4 4 ro 5 10 ro 5 10 ro 6 21 ro 4 4 ro 5 10 ro 4 5 ro 4 4 ro 5 12 ro 4 4

1:53 pm

I have wanted to check out sudoku, but haven't had the chance..... uh-oh!!!!!

my wife likes suduko...i didn't find it that fun...

1:53 pm

Oh Numbers....................... .. I don't do numbers I'm afraid! Only maths I ever understood was Geometry - felt more comfortable with the letters!

1:54 pm

After I've played sudoku a few times, it seems all the same.

1:54 pm

I don't do number puzzles.. :( Barely passed basic college algebra (there's a reason I went with Political Science!!)

1:54 pm

hi all! anyone have the tr6/21?

1:54 pm

what is the concept? Do you have to have different combinations of numbers add up to the same total or what?

1:54 pm

face it jen they just don't do as well as penn state kerry collins, franco harris some great names don't you say

1:54 pm

'especially since it's my birthday! have i mentioned that LATELY?!!!

1:55 pm

Have no fear, folks, sudoku really isn't about math or numbers. It just happens to use numbers. It could just as easily be done using letters. And I know you all like letters. :)

1:55 pm

Plural of tr 5/12 - part of stair.

1:55 pm

Hi all, just wanted to let you all know there is a second letter posting from bunny at Babblers Annon :)

it's your b-day? HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMALLER!!

1:55 pm

OOHHH - I do like letters!

1:55 pm

ooh, that will be interesting then!! the numbers lose me after a while...hehe

1:55 pm

Happy Birthday Smaller!!!!!!!!

1:56 pm

Happy Birthday smaller -or Penblwydd Hapus as we say here!XXXXXXXXXX

1:56 pm

HaPpY BiRtHdAy SmAlLeR!!

i have finally surpassed the halfway mark.....now im the mark beyond.... ;)

1:56 pm

woohoo dr. god! a new game! thanks mark and tink!!! tink- looking lovely as ever!!!

1:57 pm

hi smaller!!!!! It's your BIRTHDAY???? Well, let me put some candles on this baby shower cake then so we can all sing.... how many candles, hon???? Never mind, will put on 3 - one for your birthday and one for a good year ahead and one for good luck...... there..... let me just light them..... and turn off the lights..... and OK.... everybody ready to sing?

1:57 pm

lol mark!

1:57 pm

smaller, it's a pl of the tr5 before it. It means "walks on" (or it what you have on the bottom of your gym shoes) And tejani, no, I honestly can't agree that PSU is better. I mean c'mon. They were ranked like 20 higher than FSU and favored by 24 points in the game and yet, it took 3 overtimes to BARELY beat FSU? Can we say "overranked"?

1:58 pm

thanks snowy for the multilingual twist! thanks evan!!! and thanks haz for the clue! needed a big fish for that one!

1:58 pm

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU'

Snowy, it's nice to see that someone gets my humor, or as u would say...humour

1:58 pm

best wishes ,good health

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

1:59 pm

Happy Birthday Dear Smaaallllleeerr'

1:59 pm

I've done sudoku with both letters and numbers (not in the same puzzle).

1:59 pm

PENBLWDD HAPUS I CHI!!!!!!!!

2:00 pm

where are you finding this new game?

2:00 pm

ya'll are to4/4 deaf but LOVE the gesture!!!!

2:00 pm

Hi Deutsch - imagine numbers and letters! My mind is boggled enough!

2:00 pm

I know what you mean, mark!! Last nite someone asked for a clue... someone else said they were "clueless" and I said: Professor Plum in the Library with the lead pipe. Nobody responded.....

Snowy, i think you're just making it up, or your cat just jumped on the keyboard, i mean, come on... ;)

2:01 pm

hurshy - Dr. God is creating it!!!! Dr. G - what's the ETA?

2:01 pm

mamabear, LOL!!

lol Mama...too bad i wasn't around...i was out playing racquetball with my wife

2:02 pm

but jen you honestly think that FSU could beat PSU. in your dreams!

2:02 pm

Thanks Une..... thanks Mark.... where were you guys last nite when I was feeling rather dumb????? LOL Racquetball?? I LOVE racquetball!!!

2:02 pm

lol mama

2:02 pm

hello kids. Hiddy Ho Dr. God!!

YYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

2:03 pm

Mark- I'm honored! I hear you're a great singer!!! Boreetos - Hi!!!!

2:04 pm

Hi all ..just popped in for a quick hello... shattered after childminding today..Happy New Baby Greyw and Happy Birthday Smaller!!!!!

2:04 pm

smaller, Happy Birthday!!!!

2:04 pm

good job, musicman!!! (applause, applause, applause) OK, now smaller, blow out the candles!!!!!! WHOA!!!! Not quite so hard.... lost some frosting on the wall, there, sweetie!!!! OK. everybody, I have to go back to work - help yourselves to some cake and there's ice cream in the freezer!!!!!! Later!

Smaller...it's not so much singing as piano playing...although i can sometimes sing...

2:04 pm

hi!

2:04 pm

I never said that. I was honestly expecting us to lose... but fact of the matter is, PSU won by 3 points in triple overtime, which does not mean they were a better team, it means they got lucky.

well, someone had to finish the song....it was just hanging there....

2:05 pm

bye mamabear!

2:05 pm

Hi boreetos! BTW Mark if my cat jumps on the keyboard ,you'll be able to hear the screams across the pond- It departed this life 4 years ago!!!!!!!! LOL

2:06 pm

hi boreetos! bye boreetos!!! (should ALWAYS bye your boreetos, should never steal them - I think it's against the law in some states!)

im sorry to hear that Snowy....of course im allergic to the dang things, so now i can come visit and not sneeze up a storm!

2:06 pm

Hi Snowy! Just popped out to update my icon to reflect today's theme. Happybirthday, smaller!

2:06 pm

Mama are u leaving us?.......... :(

2:07 pm

deutsch.. thanks! I still see zebra though

2:07 pm

Hi Caitlyn! Mark -We know the piano will have sounded great -and may I point out that there are no tone deaf Welsh people - some people just don't hear well!!!!! LOL

2:07 pm

:) its true, it is. unless of course you were invited over for Boreetos, and then you wouldn't have bought them yourself, but they wouldn't be stolen either. that's it! Boreetos at my place tonight in honor of Smaller's birthday!

2:08 pm

Lucky for you, you mean. Otherwise we would have blown them away by 10 points.

2:08 pm

LOL snowy! sure. you bet. OF COURSE

2:08 pm

I am at work, mark.... might "sneak chat" for a while... ssssshhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! But if I disappear, it doesn't mean I don't WANT to be here!!!!!

2:08 pm

It should be two zebra: a mama and her foal. (May need to refresh)

2:08 pm

yea! twice the zebra fun!

gotcha Mama....i hope to be in your shoes soon (having a job that is....soon)

2:09 pm

Boreetos.. THANKS!! and we won't even need music b/c the beans in the boreetos are the musical fruit!

2:09 pm

is there something in the works, mark? I was going to ask you, but didn't in case you didn't want to talk about it.

lol Smaller.....

2:09 pm

Lol!! awesome.

well....i've actually been receiving some phone calls this week....no offers on the table yet, but stuff is happening

2:11 pm

GreyWoulf got a new job, so let's hope it's a trend! boreetos, I did the same for 3 months while waiting for a job to come through. Good thing Babble wasn't invented then, I'd probably have typed my fingers down to the knuckles. I'll check in with you all later at home, with an updated icon, and hopes for a smaller (happy birthday, again!) grid tomorrow. Bye from work!

Jen - I do feel for you - my son is in the RAF & was safe & cold in the Falklands for 4 months last year. He had 2 x 5 yr olds & a 2 yr old who missed him terribly. It was a very long 4 months- we did a lot of time filling!

3:02 pm

Sorry, I misunderstood, thought he was deployed, like to Iraq... we have three soldiers in Iraq, well, 2 now, plus one who can't tell us where he is... the Girls find it all rather exciting & the troops get the encourageoment they need in a tough situation...

3:02 pm

3:05 pm

bye babs!! Thanks for the neat candles!!!!

3:05 pm

He's working on some huge project with the Navy (his former employer), but I have no idea what (story of my life, since he used to be intelligence) and he's gone till the end of June... hence my going home to my parents house for a month, periodic bouts of depression (missing of the hubby), and frustration with my son (who has never had to deal with Daddy being away). Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement! I may call upon you again.

3:06 pm

4:27 pm

Hello every1. I'm back on the west coast of Vermont. I love love love that baby girl. I miss her already but it's good to be home. Stupid to jump in on this now. My husband will be home soon and it may be difficult to babble. I guess he's worth it.

4:28 pm

4:29 pm

hi BJ and hi gramma :D :D

4:29 pm

brandyjack...thanks! it makes a great birthday present. oops did i mention that...again. bing - Hi!!!

4:37 pm

hi all. yey, new pix!

4:38 pm

Thanks Deutsch :) He started his 1st night home as expected -- he slept til 2:30 AM , then was fussy about sleeping until I took him into the living room and sat in my computer chair to rock him to sleep :) --- at 7:30!

4:38 pm

Hi mab!

4:39 pm

miss austin r u here?

4:39 pm

hello again kids!

4:40 pm

Clue for re8/45 by any chance?

4:40 pm

Hi boreetos!

4:41 pm

So I am a bit wiped at the moment -- especially since Kristianna was up at 9:30 --- so I am here to say hi and kibbutz without actually playing the grid

4:42 pm

I don't blame you, GW.sit a spell with us!

4:42 pm

{{{GREYWOULF}}} Merry Imbolc, Daddy-o!

Woulfie!! Hi & congratulations!!

4:43 pm

These have to be rough days, GW, with new baby, tiny child, and mom recovering from major surgery. Sending you and family soothing vibes.

4:44 pm

yes indeed, congrats! hi EB!

4:44 pm

hi EB ...cute icon :D

4:44 pm

Wait a minute, I seem to recall someone, Jacula, left you something at 6:21, greywoulf.

4:44 pm

Hello all -- happy birthday smaller. Happy new baby GW! Clues please for my last few... the first en5/6 combo, the je5/6 combo, and the st6/24 right after where you buy stuff... please and thanks!

4:44 pm

I'm trying, Deutsch -- stealing a few while Kristianna watches Clifford on PBS -- of course she multitasks so I am not totally free ;) ((**Jera**)) -- Merry Meet, and Merry Imbolc!

4:45 pm

GW, LOL!

4:45 pm

oh, GW, at last - here's my icon for your baby shower. :)

4:46 pm

GW -- just finished admiring your new son -- he is adorable, and Kristiana is a cutie too. I take it that she is enjoying the title of big sister?

4:46 pm

GW, you could try putting the baby on a tall stack of bathtowels -- it seems to have done the trick with the baby in my icon. Just a useless suggestion....

4:46 pm

I saw it, Deustch, Thanks -- I have actually been lurking while letting Kristianna got to do what she wanted today -- she loves her books and her computer flash animation ;D

4:47 pm

When are Momma & Baby coming home, GW?

4:48 pm

ch1212, I evidently don't have the St The je is muslim war and plural

4:48 pm

Can help w/ je combo. Think islamic extremists.

4:48 pm

GW, love the icon of the newest miracle in your family -- thanks for sharing! In honor of the baby shower, I pulled out this old photo of my little darling, who is now 30+ years old. May I just say I loved being a parent, but I really LOVE being the parent of an adult person. That's even more fun, if you can believe it!

4:49 pm

I have 2 left... evil H's of course... I need the he4/5 & he5/12 between the funny laugh & the group of cattle... help, please? I will gladly return the favor...

4:49 pm

yesterday, Jera :D

4:49 pm

Deutsch, thanks! Can't believe I missed that -- (whap, whap, with Idaho trout.)

4:49 pm

gotta get some sleep before the new day dawns... enjoy the rest of your birthday, smaller... nite all, and special hugs for GW and the baby ((hugs)) :D

4:49 pm

st's 5 builds on 5

4:50 pm

4:50 pm

((**sherb**)) -- thanks and sleep well! ch1212 -- I do believe it and am looking forward to the journey :)

4:50 pm

Oh how wonderful, GW, I've lost track of time... my littlies were both home yesterday, that always messes me up!

4:51 pm

Thanks, grant - got it! EasternBlue, you are so creative with the keyboard! now, any clues for the first en 5/6 combo?

4:52 pm

c-nan -- yes, she is ecstatic over the concept, though she has trouble understanding that his primary mode of communication is crying -- it unsettles her a little :)

ch1212 - I haven't touched this grid...busy day at work...just stopped in to chat for a moment...not sure I'll tackle the grid today!!

4:53 pm

Eastie you are so creative; I'll bet you were so as a child too. I wish you'd been my sister!

4:53 pm

Thanks anyway, EB -- take care. Anyone else have a clue for the first en5/6 combo?

4:54 pm

Eastern Blue, Oh thank you!!! Thank you! Thank you!!! That's an AMAZING cake!!!! Is it fat free? and chocolate?!!!!!!!

4:55 pm

How old is Kristianna? I forgot... it's nice when the big brother/sister is old enough to help, makes them feel important! I don't know what I'd do without my helpful Sprite!

4:55 pm

Eastern Blue, And cute Grey Woulffe baby shower icon! Been waiting all day to see what you'd make!! Very cute!!! : )

4:56 pm

stupid short breaks, how can one really be expected to get anywhere on a grid with a mere two 15 breaks in the day and a half hour lunch?! grrrrr. it is the source of much stress. :) But alas, I'll see everyone on here again tomorrow. Have a great rest of the day everyone. :)

4:57 pm

bye boreetos! thanks for the party!!! : )

4:57 pm

Bye Boreetos!

4:57 pm

bye boreetos. I'm heading out, too. Night all!

4:57 pm

Did I miss someone helping my with my final H words?? I need the he4/5 & he 5/12 between the funny laugh & the group of cattle... TIA!

4:57 pm

Bye Deutsch!

4:58 pm

hi all...just like eb - stopped in to say hey ... i'm that person who runs onto the stage - screams and runs off again...exit stage left....8)

4:58 pm

jera, I actually picked up your clues for you - thanks. :) okay, it's the greeting without the middle letter,and the plural.

5:00 pm

Heavens to murgatroyd, ren! Jera -- she is 2 1/2 years old and dies her best to help -- she has alredy read about 10 books to him ;D

5:00 pm

jera, another way to say it -- the u.s. greeting when answering the phone, less the middle letter

5:01 pm

tyvm, {{{ch1212}}} *happy dance of doneness!!!* (didn't think I'd get to do that today!)

5:01 pm

As long as you enter laughing, Ren! Wish you could stay awhile. (ever see Carl Reiner's Enter Laughing?)

How sweet, GW... another big thing is fetching diapers, LOL

5:02 pm

congrats, Jera Happy Birthday, Smaller

5:02 pm

5:02 pm

CONGRATS!!!! Jera!!! GRANT -- did you get your re8/45 clue? It is the plural of what you do again when you sh*** a gun.

smaller - birthday cake is always fat free (and if chocolate is your pleasure, of course it's chocolate!!)

5:02 pm

Hi all, back after an hour watching T.V! Such a novelty for me as usually read or Babble in the evening. Gorgeous new pics GreyWoulf! I remember being exhausted when the 2nd babe came home from hospital too. But it is so worth it!! My baby had his 4th fantastic report from the RAF yesterday. So proud of him and he is the father of 3 himself!

5:03 pm

granadan - Enables' squirrels must live somewhere else!

Congrats Jera!

5:05 pm

5:46 pm

i always forget the compound type words

5:47 pm

Seeking clue for the di 7/32 please.

5:50 pm

Munner- di+ consonant+ro4

.... and I got the other to8 and 9 too!! powering along today

Hey, you guys and gals! Just stopping in to chat. There's no way I can do 265 words today!

6:28 pm

And I know I'm an icon day behind, but I wanted to show you all this picture (snagged from Google Images) it's so CUTE!

6:29 pm

Hi JBs - Theres no way I'm going to either! LOL I'm babbling away & falling down the ratings every day! LOL Love The icon!

6:31 pm

Hey, snowyowl, I'm with you! I decided for this year, at least to start ("resolution" = bad word!) I would only tackle puzzles of 150 words or fewer. Frack the rankings! (um, any Battlestar Galactica fans here? ...talk about bad words!)

6:32 pm

Oh, and OH! I had a vision today - this afternoon, I think around 2:00 ET, Dr_God appeared in the chat log!

6:34 pm

He did - He did & he's working on a new form of addicting puzzle for us! I'll have no life but a virtual one soon! These puzzles are all very well if you have willpower! I have none!

6:35 pm

Evening all. Need a clue, please for the RE6/24 - between two re4/5's. Thanks....

Hi Charm!

6:38 pm

Hi, snowyowl!

6:38 pm

Charm! cybernan! Good evening. Charm, are you done? Where did you find time for 265 words during the week?

6:39 pm

JBsAnno - I have a 3yo who still naps. lol

for all the words to not get... I am secretly asking for a clue to the sh5/6/7/8 word cause I can't see it!!

6:40 pm

sh5/14 - pieces of pottery, esp. those found at an archeological site. sh6/24 is pl.

6:40 pm

LOL, Charm - I just read in RealSimple how very healthy naps are. I'm going to show my husband, silly man, he keeps waking me up!

6:41 pm

sshh, mrp - I won't reveal your secret!

6:41 pm

sh7/32 - a cigar with square-cut ends. I've usually seen it spelled with 'ch.' sh8 is pl.

6:44 pm

Congrats Charm!!!!!

6:46 pm

thanks, snowy. I get the feeling you're done, too?

6:46 pm

I know that feeling well, Charm! Have you ever had one word left at the flip? Sheer nerves and lots of clues from supportive fellow players have gotten me done just at the last possible second!

6:47 pm

All I need are the S's...think I may need to take a break...cant see the 4,5 & 6's...babble will do me in..., but it sure is fun.

thanks for the sh clues... got them all now on to the r's!!

6:47 pm

seth - if you go to the right hand side of this page you will find a site called Babblers Anonymous. Click there and you will find all the stats and scores and also lots of info about playbabble and the great people who play it. You don't have to be a member and it is well worth a visit

6:47 pm

jb - are you going to speed type tonight?

6:48 pm

anyone have clue for di7?

6:49 pm

Seth, don't forget to look if you can pluralize, past tense, and activate words (by adding "s", "ed", and "er") - that will really increase your points, too.

6:49 pm

Wish I was Charm - I still have 50 words to go !LOL As it's 12.50 am I doubtI will finish this one! Started too late and had lots of time off the site tonight

6:50 pm

thanks

6:56 pm

di7 - remove the part of a plant that holds it in the ground

6:56 pm

snowy, last weekend I was one word away from finishing, one tiny re 4/4 word...and I didn't make it. <sigh> Good thing this group is very supportive! I might have done something bad to my computer otherwise...

6:58 pm

OMG JBs Anno thats awful for you! I have never made it to the turnover - I think it rolls over about 6.00am and I don't do early mornings from that side! I have been up until about 3.30 am once or twice but I am setting myself a 1.30 curfew nowadays!

6:59 pm

I logged in this morning and took one look at the target of 265 words, and logged right out again, I couldn't cope with 265! Just looked back in to see how you are getting on, abd I spotted something about Dr God thinking up a new game, please don't tell me it is Suduko, I just cannot do it!

6:59 pm

...but if I WAS doing the grid, I'd wish there was an "s" closer to the "p" <inner adult comes to the fore> Okay, I have to stop now to make dinner (& watch American Idol, guilty secret: love that show!). I'll check in later. Hope you make it, snowy! See you later, ren, Charm, Seth, & mrpres.

6:59 pm

that's right snowy... jb had 1 word to go and the grid flipped....she nearly flipped with it!!!!! we had to shout her down...don't delete jb....don't delete...it was very close for a few minutes!!!,,,,8)

9:10 pm

Me too Tim -- and I seem to be short a 'd' word!

9:12 pm

Tim: I think it was you that gave me the recipe for YellowFin Tuna. Are you a chef?? It was absolutely fantastic. Will use it again and again.

I can imagine, GW. It's a hideous grid anyway.

Woulfie: Welcome. You have a newborn, you need to change diapers and such. Hi Tho.

10:02 pm

Woulfie: At least you are doing the middle of the night thing. In my day, I did it all night, and also all day. So, Kirsten is lucky to have a man sharing the baby responsibilities.

GW--congratulations to you and your family. The pictures are beautiful.

10:05 pm

Thank you Summer :) JoJo -- unfortuanately, in a couple of weeks I won't be able to when I start my new job -- but at least she should be recovered from the surgery by then

10:06 pm

Woulfie: Yes, she should be recovered a bit by then. What new job do you have in the future?

10:09 pm

JoJo - Working for a battery company in the repair department -- will give me a stable Mon - Fri schedule, and I will be able to keep Lenscrafter's on the weekend -- so I should be able to finally catch up on some bills

10:10 pm

Woulfie: Good for you. I'm proud of you.

10:11 pm

Thanks, JoJo

10:13 pm

Woulfie: You are sincerely welcome. LOL

10:15 pm

that is really a cool picture wolfie of sebastian and you!! gettng him started early i see!!!

10:17 pm

But of course, ren :D

10:19 pm

slow response time is due to him resting on my left arm as we chat ;)

10:20 pm

hahaha wolfie...wait until those little fingers start helping you type!!!!

10:20 pm

GW...just arrived. What neat pictures--a great family you have on your hands!

10:21 pm

I am looking forward to it, ren -- if he is anything like speedfreak sam, I will consider myself to have done it right! :D

10:22 pm

that's right!!! just think 2nd generation babblers....wow

10:25 pm

ren - scary concept, huh? Here's to hoping the grid is still here when he is ready to start :)

10:28 pm

really scary...the thought process is almost surreal....in fact it may be processed though thoughts....

10:30 pm

The scariest concept that it represents to me is that I never used to think in terms of years in the future before now -- I always tended to think in terms of NOW and nothing more

10:32 pm

Hey, GW! We had a divine visit from Dr_God this afternoon, he is working on a new puzzle...involving letters and sudoku... So maybe that will be Sebastian's gig!

10:32 pm

ren, take a real close look at the baby face in the crib in my icon, and see if you can see what it really is...

10:33 pm

I actually saw that when I was scrolling back to see Jac's icon in honor of me today, JB -- it definitely sounds promising :)

10:33 pm

Now you're thinking, G! I'm thinking too, I'd be crazy to start this puzzle ANY time today!

10:33 pm

It's such an awesome prospect, raising a child. Happens a gazillion times, but still awe-inspiring.

10:34 pm

GW, if that's you in the chair, with Sebastian on your arm, is that Kristen on screen?

10:34 pm

mab -- I think that is why it hasn't gone out of style yet ;) JB -- I definitely didn't touch it today -- I am just here for the chat --- after all it would have been bad manners to miss my own shower ;D

10:36 pm

Just don't get wet, Woulfie, (from the shower) <groan>

10:36 pm

no way am i going to start this puppy....i'm barely sitting up as i is....8) jb - is that a little yellow puddy tat???...cute...i love your kitty kats!!

10:36 pm

Hi, JoJo! Ready for the big game?

10:36 pm

JB -- no, my icon is the same pic as was posted for me on BabAnon by swmbo -- the screen is the Babble board in honor of all my fellow Babbleonians :)

10:37 pm

Got it in one, ren!! Google is good to me. My real kitties are becoming very vocal and physical in their demand for FOOD RIGHT NOW!

10:37 pm

wolfie - that is a very artistic photo! compliments to the models and the photog

10:38 pm

Ren -- I love the footprints BTW -- thanks Oh and (*HUGS*) to everyone for all the support you have provided through everything!

10:38 pm

JB: You bet, got my flags on my car, and a Seahawks shirt. Ready to roll. All of Seattle is, no matter what the media thinks of all us up here, we are all hyped.

10:38 pm

Thanks, G - my eyes are all squinty and fuzzy from staring at my computer all day at work, doing work! Let me just say that the process to get new residents into the hospitals involves lots of copy and paste!

10:39 pm

hi jojo!!! i like the commercials and i'm wearing a swiss flag!!

10:40 pm

Huh, JoJo, and you'd think it was the coffee! I can see the flags now.... Oh, please tell me there's a special coffee for the 'Hawks - that would be perfect, in Seattle!

10:40 pm

Ren: You got me on that one. What is a Swiss Flag?

10:40 pm

JoJo...you're a diehard. I love it! I got my husband a Seahawks shirt to wear on Sunday morning...should be fun! This is the first time I'm actually excited about the superbowl.

10:40 pm

jojo.....neutrality...8)

10:41 pm

But, have some Seahawks coffee, hmm, ren?

10:42 pm

jb - ok you got me on that one...is that starbucks?

10:43 pm

ren, From a previous post to JoJo, I thought it would be cool if they named a special coffee blend for the team in Seattle. You could drink coffee and still be neutral, right?

10:44 pm

Really, ren, you ought to have done the puzzle. There are two good yiddishkeit words, and one ethnic slur that means Jews.

10:45 pm

Ren: Boo. We are the underdogs, u have to support the under dog, right? JB: Yes, probably is a Seahawks coffee at Starbucks. We have a Starbucks on every corner, you know. But I haven't heard about it. Kristinc: Go Seahawks!!

10:45 pm

oh - i thought since starbucks started in wa that perhaps they had a new coffee

10:46 pm

oh no mab...i see the slur - top right hand corner...

10:46 pm

Ren: Probably, but I haven't heard of it. You know Shultz, he owns the Sonics not the Seahawks!

10:50 pm

did ya'll name a coffee? like jojo's go jo? or sea hawk's boost or jojo's sea hawk's go jo?...i'm so tired i may get silly....8)

10:54 pm

Ren: I am a nobody. Shulltz (Starbucks owner and Sonics owner) wouldn't name anything after me.

10:54 pm

Good to see you all, but must go now. ..can..barely..type...__ ___>>> and must be up shiny and bright at 6am <one more tap on the snooze alarm; my kingdom for one more snooze alarm!> TTFN, my Babble friends!

10:55 pm

Sleep Well, JB -- I am off soon myself -- just chatting and playing Cubis 2 at the same time now

10:55 pm

nite jb... jojo - i think you're somebody and i think you sound like the seahawks #1 fan!!!!

10:57 pm

That does't sound like the JoJo I know *frantically wracking for my brain for a clever JoJo coffee name* (really tired though and lacking creative juices!)

10:57 pm

Ren: But, however, JoJo go Jo, sounds good to me.

10:58 pm

GW, you are a woulf of many talents! ren, I'm still laughing (jojo's go jo- love it!) JoJo and Kristinc - it's gonna be a great game. Nite, all!

11:02 pm

11:05 pm

Mab: Man, it would be a great thing for Seattle to have the Seahawks win. Everyone keep your fingers crossed, it isn't going to be easy to beat the Steelers, but when we do, this town will just go CRAZY!!! Remember JoJo go Jo on Sunday morning coffee.
