amandacath, your missing V word means sold

6:56 am

No, wait! I was wrong the first time around - had sell & sold (not seller) already, so I'm still missing one...

6:59 am

7:22 am

Good Morning to my fellow Babblers! Taking advantage of a early morning feeding to check the grid and see who else is around at this time :)

morning greywolfe how are you and the family

7:23 am

Morning Greywoulf! Just babbling for a bit before my beloved's morning feeding :)

7:24 am

Doing well, rosalind --- Kristianna just got over a cold, but Sebastian is doing great, though he has a bit of a cough right now --- Momma is exhausted, of course ;)

7:25 am

... hope someone is looking after you grey woulf!!

7:25 am

Hi ch1212 -- you are going to have to update your profile, you aren't so quiet on the log anymore ;D

7:27 am

Ho Hum -- I've got my family and my Babble buddies to watch over me :) --- If it weren't for you folks, I would have cracked a few months back

7:27 am

morning! how's everyone today?

7:28 am

glad to hear the GW, it's great to give but everyone needs a bit of TLC from time to time esp with a new arrival!

7:28 am

Hey Angel -- we're good, how's by you?

7:30 am

I'm fine, GW. didn't finish yesterday's grid. Had to work, then I was too tired to think straight and it was no fun, so I just stopped. Got some sleep and now I'm back.

7:31 am

Thanks, Ho Hum -- the only slightly bad change in my life right now is the new job... The job itself is great, I love it and am adapting to the new schedule wonderfully --- Kirsten is not a morning person and hates it of course --- It's just that they want to send me on overnight tasks starting in two weeks and the boss isn't very sympathetic to my lack of desire to leave the family alone :(

7:32 am

LOL -- :D Greywoulf -- you're right. I'm not as shy as I was with everyone.

7:33 am

Angel -- that's the way to do it -- I haven't been able to play several days this week, due to timing issues -- I have missed it, but Babbling is about the fun, not the finish (though the finish is pretty cool too! ;) )

7:35 am

ce7??

7:35 am

Well that stinks GW - hope you manage to sort things out. Time for me to go TTFN

7:37 am

So long, Ho Hum -- I am sure it will work out for the best :) Angel -- sorry, I am not up to giving clues yet -- just started and have only 2 sevens :)

7:38 am

sorry angel, I don't have it yet either.

7:39 am

gw: wen you find the second ce5/12, attach a short "song" (as in "*** to Billy Joe" as a suffix, and you will have the ce7.

7:40 am

got it! Thx angelsong

7:41 am

Thanks Angel -- I'll watch for it ;)

7:41 am

gw: drop the final vowel in that ce5/12 before adding the short song...:)

7:42 am

I just got it -- I haven't pulled the 2nd letter list, so I can't use position as a reference right now :)

7:50 am

Okay, GW - profile updated :)

7:52 am

Very nice, ch1212 :) -- I especially love the fact that you found your true love while being happy in singlehood on the way --- too many people feel that they have to be part of a couple to be happy

7:55 am

I agree. Ever since I was a small child I sensed that being single was right for me. On a deeper level, I know there were many lessons I needed to experience and learn, and I accepted that, usually with contentment and real happiness. My beloved was a monk for 20 years, and I was pretty upset when he first left ... then voila! a miracle happened :D. We're both evolving in new ways.

7:56 am

And you do great when you give clues! -- sometimes I think people get to caught up in giving cryptic clues -- though their creativity is fun to witness (when I am not the one wanting the clue ;D )

7:57 am

thanks, gw. I must say, I looked at your profile -- a Taoist! And Wiccan too --- it's a unique combination. I studied the Tao briefly in the course of world religion studies. And one of my dear friends in school is Wiccan. Both serious approaches to spirituality and living. Good for you!

8:04 am

Thanks ch -- I came to both by accident -- I was never raised within a religion so I developed my own pattern of faith which was very strongly influenced by the SF I grew up on -- then when I met my wife and Wicca I found that it was a very close fit --- Then I found the Tao and it filled in the gaps :D

8:08 am

What a great faith journey! I was also heavily influenced by the Science Fiction I grew up with -- mostly hard core Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Bradbury, Zelzany, Ellison, Blish. I lived in Hawaii for years as a kid, and when I rebelled against my family religion my mom (bless her!) encouraged me to seek other paths. Hawaii is a crossroads of the world culturally and spiritually. So I had an amazing opportunity to attend Buddhist and Hindu services in addition to many, many Christian churches. Sounds like you found your Way too.

8:12 am

ch -- the only author you listed that I have not read much of is Blish --- otherwise while growing up I used to referred to the holy trinity of Asimov, Bradbury, and Clarke with Heinlein as their prophet (shades of heresy! :D ) --- but Zelazny's Amber is one of my Favorite realms which I reread almost annually

8:14 am

Well, Seb is waking up and wants attention so my responses will necessarily be slower and shorter as typing with one hanf is tricky at best ;) -- when his sister gets up is when I will have to go

hi everyone!

8:16 am

Hi Temple!

8:16 am

LOL! The Holy Trinity, indeed! Blish wrote several, but a favorite was "Cities in Flight" -- I think you would love it, especially the way it twists toward the end and reveals the reason human nature is what it is. Excellent read. --- Okay, I hear my beloved stirring. Enjoy your day, GW -- it's been a pleasure. Bye all!

8:17 am

so long for now, ch (*Hug*)

ah - a forgotten joy of mine - speculative fiction - are these new?

8:18 am

Hiya Wolfie & Temple.

8:18 am

Nope -- all old school from the formative years of SF, Temple :)

8:18 am

(hugs) to you too, gw -- I leave it to you to answer TempleOwl's inquiry :)

hi jacs!

i've never read blish..

8:19 am

(*Jac*)

oops bye woulfie

8:20 am

brb -- gotta make a bottle

8:20 am

de5/16?

8:21 am

Wolfie, you weren't lurking in the lanes near my house last night were you? LOL. My son encountered what sounded very much like a grey wolf whilst driving home in the fog around 1am.

8:28 am

Jac -- nope, not me :) Temple -- Blish is very good old school SF, all I have read by him are a few short stories as well as the very first Star Trek novels published after the series ended --- I think the 1st was 'Spock Must Die!' -- he only wrote a couple though

8:28 am

Hi all! : ) angel, 40 all in tennis...rhymes with what you drink at breakfast : )

GW: care to guess what my most cherished birthday gift was?

Hey Anj! -- long time, no see :) (my fault, I know) -- How are you?

8:48 am

Hi speed!

8:48 am

Hi Anj., Speed, Angel and anyone else I've missed.

8:48 am

GW: at 7:30 PM, the phone rang. It was my daughter. She and my soon-to-be 2 year old grandson, Dylan, were looking at pictures and naming the people in the pictures. He said to her, "I want grammy." So she called so he could talk to me; he also told me, "I want grammy." That was worth more than anything material to me.

8:48 am

Hi Babe : ) Hi T-Owl, GW, Speed : ) I'm fine thanks GW, how about you?

8:48 am

Hi Jac, Angel : )

8:49 am

greetings, Jac, Anj, TO, speed....

8:50 am

Angel -- that is adorable!! Kristianna still refuses to talk on the phone, though she always wants to hold it :D

8:53 am

9:23 am

Good morning. Any help with co 6/30? I've tried everything I can think of.....

9:23 am

de 7/44 solved a cypher.

9:23 am

Use a fish as a verb and past tense it.

de 7's - de + morse **** + past tense

9:25 am

Thanx Haz.......as usual you come thru for me.

9:25 am

You're welcome - I've just sat down to have a breather from cleaning.

9:26 am

Did that yesterday. Now I'm waiting until it's time to get a haircut and COLOR!!!

9:26 am

Time to go.Bye for now.Happy hunting.

9:27 am

Well! Are we talking a complete new image?

9:27 am

I thought you might all like to see a picture of my Great-Grandmother at 18 (in 1898). She's wearing a beautiful hat! The photo is very faded and so this is the best I could do with the scanner. Please REFRESH to see her. Her name was Lily.

Bye Mac

9:29 am

what a wonderful photo -- and such a beautiful name, jacula!

bye mac! hi evan, nonny, haz...GTG! back tonight!

9:29 am

lovely jac

9:29 am

The photograph has a lovely ethereal quality. How lovely to have such a memento.

9:30 am

...9, 10, a big fat hen... The name's Be6/27 : )

9:31 am

She was quite a snappy dresser was my Gt.Gran., right up until her death at the age of 92! No wonder her only son became a master tailor and theatrical costume maker.

9:32 am

Same look, just darker color w/blond highlights to cover the hated grey. I've got seven years on you. But to be fair I started getting grey streaks when I was in my 20's. Can't blame it on my kids or husband since everyone is grown and gone----except my hubby. He hasn't grown or gone. :-)

9:33 am

hey nonny - was getting grey in my 20s too

LOL Nonny, grey is in though! I'm starting to get a few streaking here and there, didn't know it happened this early! Course, I'm to lazy to go to the trouble of dying my hair, and cheap for that matter!

9:34 am

Once you start colouring, it's hard to stop! I was very blonde as a child, got darker, got greyer, but am helping things along with highlights.

9:34 am

i'm too poor, but not too cheap - highlights work wonders

9:35 am

evanonut.....back then it looked "cool". Everyone was getting their hair streaked and mine was natural. Now I'd be almost all grey/white. More salt than pepper. I'd "LIKE" to think I'm too young to go all grey yet., HENCE the coloring..........

9:36 am

i'm consider "O" nature "elle"

9:36 am

CUTE......very cute.....

9:39 am

found a hat!

How sweet! Is that your little one?

9:40 am

that's my little grandson, Dylan. He will be 2 on the 28th.

Adorable! I like them when they are tiny, it's when they start to talk...

9:42 am

he is talking well, now, and he's still adorable. it's when he's about 14 and talking that he may not be so cute........

9:44 am

They don't talk when they're 14 - they grunt!

Yup, I've got one coming up on 10 and looking into buying a mute button.

9:45 am

they grunt when they're 41 too

9:45 am

Time to go clean, we are on school vacation so I convinced my Mom to stay here a few days, now I have to find the bed in my sons' room who is away at college gor her to sleep in LOL

9:46 am

en8? it's my last 8.

There's always the couch, who knows what could be lurking in there? Happy cleaning!!

9:46 am

any clues for the en 8 please?

9:47 am

me too, please help with the en 8

9:47 am

em 8 - add be6/33 - means contained deep within

9:47 am

en8: The thin layer of cells lining the medullary cavity of a bone

9:48 am

Apologies - I hadn't looked down the list far enough to see that there's an en 8 - haven't got it yet.

9:49 am

en8 is... en + the spanish word for 'two' + a beverage

9:49 am

11:52 am

ah yes - the black sheet is happy!

11:52 am

12:17 pm

Cathy I see from your profile you have a yellow cat - perfect name for him. I had an orange tabby once who was quite the character. Now I have an all grey cat whose name is Bongo and he's of little help with Babble but provides warmth on a cold day ;)

12:17 pm

43!

12:19 pm

macuser -- Yeah, my Scotch is quite the lap cat !! Also had a beautiful grey tabby (Sammie) that was his brother, but I recently lost him to cancer. So Scotch has seemed to be even more clingy since losing him. Breaks my heart sometimes to see him looking around the house for him.

12:19 pm

still need help for the re8

12:19 pm

I simply cannot see that A!

12:20 pm

12:22 pm

Aww, sorry to hear that Cathy. I lost my orange tabby to cancer, too

12:23 pm

12:34 pm

12:34 pm

how is eden not a word?

12:34 pm

Seeing how far you can go on empty reminds me ... there's nothing to eat in this house, so guess I'd better run off to the store. Good luck, ya'll ... catch ya later!

12:34 pm

proper noun

12:34 pm

lizzi..is it capitalised?

12:34 pm

12:35 pm

12:35 pm

2:00 pm

Refresh of course

2:01 pm

but that was because i told the border guard that we weren't going to stop or leave anything in the country, and then afterwards i wondered if i had to go to the bathroom, what would happen, because then i would be stopping AND leaving something in the country, and maybe i would be in trouble.

2:01 pm

LOL!!!!! I love it!!!! Thanks, tbear!!!! It's a-bear-able!!!!!!

2:01 pm

*refreshes* ...looks suspiciously like a hot water bottle cover to me...

2:02 pm

I have never been to a foreign country, hurshy.... but would love to be sitting on a beach somewhere right about now..... foreign or not!

2:02 pm

um, hurshy, i'm pretty sure that's not what he was refering to

2:03 pm

LOL hurshy!

2:03 pm

hmmm... when I go overseas, I'm more interested in what I can take away than what I can leave behind...

2:03 pm

2:10 pm

I envy you Rennie..... went to the east coast a few years ago on vacation and fell in love with the shore. I am convinced that when I made my entrance to this world, the stork was flying from west to east and sneezed over Chicago and dropped me here. I don't think this is where I was meant to be!

2:10 pm

I love the beach in winter... grew up on the north-east coast of England... winds straight from Siberia... bracing!!

2:11 pm

2:26 pm

2:27 pm

man, i don't even know what caprinha is and i'm jealous

2:28 pm

caprinha = national drink of Brazil, made with cashaca, ice and limes, and loads of sugar. Gots you drunk really quickly combining it with a massive sugar rush. Like drinking a pint of vodka and Red Bull!

2:29 pm

ok, i said i was ALREADY jealous, didn't need details ;)

2:29 pm

I was jealous before I knew what caprinha was. Now I don't like dacef anymore either...: /

2:29 pm

*Anj noodles a do7/48 and looks perplexed* } /

2:30 pm

I can't stand this...here I am with heating full blast,slippers,hot water bottle and cardi (what a glamorous picture that evokes) on a Saturday night and some selfish selfish person is rubbing our english noses in it!!

2:31 pm

dachef... isn't it time you left for the airport? ...wouldn't want to miss that plane...

2:31 pm

Anj, can you spare a clue for the do7/48

2:32 pm

clue for the first so 6/24?

2:32 pm

Right then, after trying out my new method, (quite useful by the way), I'm down to my last 36 words, and they're all 4's.......

2:32 pm

I'm with you sherb and tbear!

2:33 pm

leslie, it sounds like blokes who wear things under their shoes.......

2:33 pm

I dont care what you say. Im going to Brazil on Tuesday. Tra-la-la. Cant hear you. Tra-la-la. ;)

2:33 pm

Ho Hum....some men are just mean and selfish......

2:33 pm

Peri, it stems from the do5/18 - which is D plus cooker, although it sounds like a word for 12 white birds lol The do7 is the past tense

2:34 pm

Yup tbear - I bet he could fit us in his suitcase if he really wanted to!!!

2:34 pm

gotta go. see you guys later!

2:34 pm

refresh - here's your caprinha - enjoy!!!

2:35 pm

2:35 pm

thanks Anj already had the do5

2:35 pm

Ho Hum - he's oblivious... wait til he finds out what it's really like...

2:35 pm

later mama

2:36 pm

leslie, what do people put on their feet BEFORE they put on their shoes......

2:36 pm

Or at least take my hypothalamus for a bit of seratonin...that wouldn't take up much room..I'd put it in a plastic sandwich bag....!!

2:36 pm

renfield! Perfect!

2:36 pm

grumble grumble... dachef i'm going to have to find an icon of a shark taking a bite out of you leg while you sip a capriahnaheyay

2:42 pm

At least we have a word for the fish treatment now : / Co6/30

2:45 pm

Anj, LOL!!!

2:45 pm

V true Anj. can I have some chips to go with it, wonder what the word really means.

2:48 pm

fu 6/33?

2:48 pm

(that's not directed at anyone in particular :)

2:48 pm

hi Unie :D ...nice chapeau!

2:48 pm

Ho Hum, it means to fool someone. Or to barrack someone with scorn...like Carped : / Hmm...maybe Dr Johnson entered those words on a Friday lol

2:49 pm

Cheers Anj thanks for that.

2:49 pm

merci, sherb

2:50 pm

leslieanne, the fu6...add the thing you put on a tea pot to keep it warm but change the last letter to a vowel (the word sounds like a fruit sugar with a few letters missing)

2:50 pm

Cheers Lo ; )

2:51 pm

thanks, lola -- someone posted a clue earlier for the fu6 but I didn't get the reference to fruit.

2:52 pm

Lola I dig your hat......can see you now in the Coach.red Smirnoff bottle in one hand,ciggie (but not for long!) in the other,smiling sweetly at......Anj.....

2:53 pm

Hey tbear! LOL, yeah, maybe I should get me one! ; )

2:54 pm

Ch1212, would that clue be anything to do with losing an R and a T from the fruit word??

2:55 pm

lola it's almost time for the houston live stock show and rodeo - i'd say that is reason enough to get one - we call it go texan day!!!!

2:55 pm

Afternoon all!!

2:56 pm

2:57 pm

Anj, there's lots you still don't know babe! ; )

2:57 pm

anj - lola's an honorary texan

2:57 pm

I went to a gay blessing dressed as a cowboy with cleavage...it was great...saw my doctor dressed as a goucho....bizarre

2:57 pm

Hmmm, keeping it under your hat then? lol ; )

2:57 pm

outnumbered, the proper word for poop : )

2:58 pm

ren, I am?? Cool! : D

2:58 pm

hey all - is it hat day?

2:58 pm

ok tbear - you're an honorary texan as well!!!

that vowel combo always throws me off. thanks!

2:59 pm

Hi musicmom! I made that assumption as well. :) I can sneak in my seminoles into practically any theme!

3:00 pm

I reverted to fish because I need so many.

3:00 pm

thx ren,I would've made a good cowgirl...used to ride bareback in Spain with a bottle of tio pepe for the ride home in the dark....was great unless you needed to pee....hahahaha that's brought back some gr8 memories

3:01 pm

Done and done!!!!! My new method worked brilliantly!!!!! Gotta go now, don't wanna spend my whole life in front of a screen........ (So says the guy who spends almost half his life watching films.......LOL) Byyyyyyeeeee ee!!!!!!!!

3:01 pm

3:03 pm

wtg Movieman : ) I'm missing an 8 - have 2 x e and an f... : )

3:07 pm

I just started. Should I quit?

3:09 pm

3:09 pm

afternoon all working away on the puzzle here and getting near the end need a clue for the first co 4/8 and the co 6/21 either the second or third one if possible, tys

3:10 pm

Terrific outnumbered. That's two days in a row for you isn't it?

3:10 pm

CH1212...actually had me laughing out loud for the first time in ages...well needed...one time my friend needed to get off and pee so in the pitch dark,so I had two horses and two bottles and we were laughing so much she couldn't get back on hers and I couldn't help her with my hands full.....hysterical

3:10 pm

way to go outnumbered!!!!

3:11 pm

I love that song Ren. Yep I'm staying. We have a college student here doing his laundry, it's snowy and cold outside - I'm not going anywhere.

3:11 pm

WTG outnumbered! musicmom, I didn't get to the last 150 till 10:45 last night!

3:11 pm

tbear....that is really funny!!!!

3:12 pm

Oh MY! Jen. Did you finish? I finished around 10:30 p.m. e.s.t.

3:12 pm

tbear - thats sounds like one heck of a bril memory and you paint a great picture.

3:13 pm

Actually, yeah I did, with 15 minutes to spare! :)

3:13 pm

renfield-are you a Yankees fan? An endangered species around here.

3:13 pm

LOL tbear :D ... sherylr for the co4/8, it's the singular first word for the town right by where Russell Crowe lives in New South Wales. (gee, is that obscure or what?!)

3:13 pm

leslieann, cu6/24...pool cu** plus short word for 'thank you' : )

3:13 pm

That's impressive!

3:14 pm

weird word... thanks lola

3:14 pm

eva...i was born a yankee's fan!!!!

3:18 pm

I was a Dodger's fan- in the olden days before they deserted NY. The Dodgers were the underdogs. But before moving to Vermont last year I lived for 11 years within shouting distance of Fenway Park, and you know how seriously Boston fans take everything. Now I root for the celtics - shades of the Dodgers and allegiance to hopeless causes.

ch ty not sure where dear russell lives

how about a clue for the co 6/21

3:20 pm

sheryl-kevin co____

3:20 pm

any help please for the re8/55 and the re5/12 before it thank you

3:21 pm

sheryl, is it the 'how much does that co**?' plus two vowels co6/21 you are looking for?

3:21 pm

there's another one just before that with the same first 4 letters followed by a latin vowel, vowel ending.

3:21 pm

sherylr, try it this way: co + constanent + plural. :)

3:22 pm

OOOPS, sorry sheryl r , I mean co + constanent + first letter of word for hot or cold drink. NO plural...

3:22 pm

Hi mo! re5, put grass back? The 8 is the past tense : )

3:22 pm

mo-I think the re5/12 means the right handed page. Not sure.

got it ty

3:23 pm

eva - in the movie isthar chuck and lyle sincg a line - but i can't see the brooklyn dodgers in LA

3:23 pm

thanks again lola! I was looking for that one too. How about the en8? I'm a bobblehead today and can't seem to monkey it. Please and thanks!

3:23 pm

was istar the incredible flop with warren beatty?

3:23 pm

my last two: od 6/24, and es 5/12??

ch its past tense of the one before it

3:24 pm

en8, en plus spanish for 'two' plus a drink the brits can't get enough of : )

3:25 pm

mo, if you lay down grass in your yard again, you re*** it. the 8 is past tense.

3:25 pm

En8 is En + spanish for two + *** and coffee

3:25 pm

od6...most strange? : )

3:25 pm

Muschas gracias lola, tigereye and sherylr!

3:26 pm

es5/12, add what a baby sleeps in : )

3:26 pm

I mean muchas gracias ... my spelling is atrocious today!

3:26 pm

oooh i knew it was those first three letters but couldn't figure out the rest. don't know how *i* could have missed that one ;)

3:47 pm

yvo, you need to repeat the last letter of the 5 before adding the past tense...you are looking for an re8 not an re7 : )

3:47 pm

It's okay dachef, I was thinking that same word as well. Or maybe I should sit in the corner with you!

3:48 pm

4:18 pm

if its not too much to ask, lol

4:19 pm

Thanks. Got the cu6/24 now but am still missing a cu4/6. I have the pool sticks and the Kurt russell thing (if that's what you meant by the thank you?).

4:19 pm

MM-I'm great - how about you? I lost power Thursday at 3:30 pm and didn't get it back until 8:00p.m Friday We had a terrible storm. But all is well now.

then there is the co 4/8 which someone gave a clue about russell crowe and a town near where he lives but that went right over my head, lol

4:20 pm

I'm a little under the weather with a head cold but just hanging out and relaxing. Took a 2 hour nap this morning while Greg ran interference with the kids. ahhhhh. Power outages are the pits. We had high winds but fortunately no power outs.

4:20 pm

Okay,a little slow on the uptake-the thank you one was obviously for the 6/24. So where is that pesky cu4/6?

4:20 pm

yyeahhhhh MO!!! Could you help me with a clue for the er5/14? I know it has to be obvious, and I'm sure the er6/24 that follows will be the plural. Pls and ty!

4:20 pm

sheryl - check your list - the de7 and de5 you wanted are plurals of other words! The de4 is an alternative spelling of "I will de** you".

4:21 pm

Sheryi de7/40 ...alter the last letter of the previous de7

4:21 pm

co 4/8: a sheperd's cabin minus the second letter (go by points)

4:21 pm

Eva - cu4/6 - what a doctor does? Is that the one you need?

4:22 pm

We were lucky with the power outages this time-I think because all of the weaker trees camae down in earlier storms this year and last-we had what they call a microburst-a very localized tornado, last spring. So there wasn't much left to fall on the power lines.

4:22 pm

Eva, a director cu** the actors to begin.

4:22 pm

MM-still under the weather huh? Sorry to hear that. You need lots of Water......

4:23 pm

SORRY- it's the cu4/9 that I'm missing.

4:23 pm

Must be going around :) My beloved woke up feely icky this morning -- we went down to a local hot springs and soaked. Now he's sleeping away the afternoon.

4:24 pm

Yep I've been guzzling water and cranberry juice for two days. Even bought some medicine so I could sleep last night. I feel quite a bit better after the nap. Just going to lay low until Tuesday when I have to teach again.

4:24 pm

got it-once I realized the point value it was obvious.

4:24 pm

eva - add the deleted word: " ** I should die before I wake......."

4:24 pm

Eva, cu4/9 -- you probably know you need a 4 pt letter; that's the last one.

4:24 pm

cu4/7....what a snooker player did

4:24 pm

I have to get some sleep now. I've got my friend's three year old staying over so will have two of the little....darlings!.... to cope with in the morning : / G'night all! : )

4:25 pm

I've been very lucky this winter (knock on wood)

4:25 pm

bye, lola - take care of yourself. Anyone want to help with a clue for the er5/14? I'm sure the er6/24 will be the plural. Thanks!

that was just too hard.... my sister's hubby is dyslexic...when their kids were really little - suze would spell stuff that they didn't want the kids to know... when the oldest was catching the words faster than my bro-in-law...my sister said "we can spell them backwards"...the ever patient saint (my brother-in-law for putting up with my crazy but endearing sis) said in his Kentucky drawl... Suze - why don't we wait until they're in bed...it'll be easier for me that way & Sarah (the oldest) can spell faster than me forwards or backwards!!

8:20 pm

LOL EB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mama - the other be 6 is the past tense of what you sleep on/in

8:22 pm

((((((((((((((((EB)))))))))))) ))))))))))

It is 3 degrees here.... 13 below with the wind chill .... I am SO ready for Spring!!!

9:10 pm

It seems like most people are so methodical. I just hit the Cs for awhile, jump to the Rs, etc. If I went in order I would get hopelessly stuck on one word, I think. I love Fred too. Astaire and Rogers, may their names be for blessings.

9:11 pm

pbr - Milwaukee's a nice city...I've been there for work several times...may be back there again in May...

9:13 pm

i admire you mab!! i have to follow some kind of order to keep myself focused....and yes - i do get stuck on one word....

9:14 pm

I do that, too EB!!!!! I like to start at the end because it's easier to see the words in the list that way - you don't have to keep scrolling down.......

aknitter- not dumb...you are so kind you would never think to use that word! 8 )

9:14 pm

dense like fish chow-dah??

Hi All!

hi JoJo!!

9:48 pm

EasternBlue: How are you doing?

9:50 pm

jojo - hey how are you?

gridwise...33 to go... lifewise - pretty good - survived the 70 + miles per hour wind gusts & narrowly missed being hit by flying debris....I guess I'm still supposed to be around!! 8 D How are you??

9:52 pm

Hi there, just 5 to go! All C's... a clue for co 6/30 please...

chic - co 6 fish + repeat the last letter + past tense....

9:54 pm

hey chic - 6/30 - the co fish double the last letter and make it past tense.

9:54 pm

Lovely! thanx, EB!

echo....

9:55 pm

Hi chic.... hi JoJo!

9:55 pm

Eastern: Pretty good, we had a horrible wind storm ~ again, and freezing cold. I am in Seattle, and it was 18 when I woke up this morning. So glad you are Ok. What flying debris?

9:56 pm

JoJo - it is 3 degrees here in Chicago!

9:56 pm

Hi Renfield and MamaBear!

JoJo - from the windstorm...I was walking into my building (just crossing the street to get there) when some glass or hard plastic whizzed by my head...missed by inches....

9:57 pm

Ren: I'm doing OK. My son and his wife came over this morning and visited, and then went out our daughter's to help her move a bed. She is single and it is hard to move a big bed by herself. How about U?

9:57 pm

EB!!!!!!!!!! I am glad you are ok......

9:59 pm

jojo - i'm doing good - my husband has had the flu....we too have had some bad wind. we had a tree limb fall from one of our pine tress and missed my husband and out 2 dogs by inches.....

9:59 pm

Eastern: You have been blessed. You know, everyone has their time to go, and obviously it wasn't yours. So glad you are OK.

thanks mama....me too!! it would be hard to Babble without a head!! 8 )

9:59 pm

eb!!!! what's with these wind storms!!!!...i'm very glad you are ok!!!

10:00 pm

thanks jojo....I believe that too.... *EB thinks how to solve world hunger & bring peace to the world....*

10:01 pm

EB - hunger, world peace OR 8 letter words!!!

10:01 pm

Mama: Yeh, but you Chicago guys are probably used to it. Us in Seattle are used to maybe 30-50 in the winter, so this is quite an 'artic blast', so weathermen are saying. But, will survive. How are you doing?

10:02 pm

mama - 8 letter words I have today (thanks to help from my friends...)...only 28 others to go!!

10:03 pm

The older I get the more my body does not like the cold! It has been a mild winter here this year..... relatively. This blast of cold is hopefully the last one for this winter.

10:04 pm

Ren: Wow! I am always scared of trees falling on our house. We have 18 trees in our yard that could fall. But our back property has big trees that could fall on other people's houses, which is very "legally speaking" BAD!

10:05 pm

be back in a bit.....

10:07 pm

I'm so done! We had a gray day yesterday and barely hit 60 deg. Everyone is praying for rain here. It was so funny; we had a couple of droplets and people were saying "Smell the rain". I said Yep smells like the 'Wet Dog of Tucson'. It sprinkled enough to give the cars dust spots. :-o

10:07 pm

jojo - us to - during a hurricane, one of our tallest pine tree fell across our neighbors sitting room

10:08 pm

Mama: Good luck on the cold. Maybe we are getting your cold instead of you. But, hang in there. I went out walking last Thursday @ 7:00 am and it was 24 degrees. I double gloved and had a hat and a scarf, plus a very warm hat. I stoled my husband's long underwear that he used for hunting, and I was OK. My hands were the coldest, so don't know what to do with my hands since I doubled gloved.

10:12 pm

Ren: If I take one tree down, I have to take them all down. And, it is really a beautiful site to see all the trees, but, if I only take a few down it leaves the rest in jeopardy. Trees suvive better when in a clump rather than standing alone, as far as falling that is.

10:15 pm

jojo -we also had a pine struck by lighting. i grow trees from seedlings and replace the ones i've lost and add to my tree lines.

10:18 pm

Ren: What happened, as far as insurance, when your tree took out your neighbors sitting room? Did your insurance pay out or did their's have to pay out. I have always heard that trees were a different animal when it came to accidents. How did yours come out?

10:23 pm

our insurance paid

10:25 pm

Ren: Great. I heard at one time that if a tree on our property hits our house, our insurance paid, but if it hits another house, their insurance would have to pay. So glad that you have enlightened me.

10:27 pm
