1:32 am

lol because I spend half my life with Tolkien stuff

1:32 am

So do I!

1:33 am

Ata is an expert :)

1:33 am

your amazing

1:33 am

At least your icon isn't St8/45, jaianniah :)

1:35 am

It sorta <looks> st8/45, tho....

1:35 am

True, I had to look at the larger picture to see it :D

1:36 am

What I want to know is how to clue te6/18 the second? LOL!

1:37 am

balls

1:37 am

Or ballball

1:37 am

woot Jai! yay for Tolkien :)

1:37 am

ROFL!!!!! at sprite's balls!

1:38 am

Let's be honest, if your T6/18 are St8/45, you have a BAD day.

1:38 am

Ty, Atalante, I LIVE with the 12 DVD set....

1:38 am

REally ROFL now!

1:39 am

Hello ... to all... I am blazing away a these words and looking up I still have 44 to find... LOL

1:39 am

At least there are no teats today!

1:39 am

Sprite!

1:39 am

Hey Blaze :) And onyx, long time no see!

1:39 am

hi blaze and onyx

1:39 am

How are you Sprite... it has been awhile...

1:40 am

Hanging in there and getting a little better all the time. And you?

1:40 am

Hiya, Blaze!

1:40 am

I live with the books and spend half my time working on the Tolkien site I work on. and watching the movies on occasion :P

1:40 am

I was trying to swear off thaddiction, spent a couple of weeks traveling too.

1:41 am

What is the url of your site?

1:41 am

alls seemingly well... my grand daughter announced that she is going to have a child in December.. I am not to sure how I feel about that one....

1:41 am

www.councilofelrond.com

1:41 am

Any help on the em 6/21 or es 8/45?

1:41 am

Hey jillibus

1:41 am

Owwww... Blaze that is wonderful! And that for someone as young as you :)

1:42 am

em you puke in them in the hospital....that's the funny version....

1:42 am

Em6/21 = M + SS

1:42 am

WTG< Sprite!

1:42 am

trouble is it may be to young for her to be a mother... only time will tell.... and she is still living with us and will do so after the child comes home...

1:43 am

great clue, Sprite! thx

1:43 am

Ooph... that sounds kind of intense, Blaze.

1:44 am

not so bad... life is always a good thing....

1:44 am

How old is the mother-to-be, Blaze?

1:44 am

Es8/45 = Es + th6/21

1:45 am

she will be 17 at the end of this week...

1:45 am

That's terribly young indeed, Blaze. Does she really want to be a mom already?

1:46 am

es8- put es+ a VERY common word *** house, ***door, ***dog+ plural it double

1:46 am

Do you watch Coronation Street, Blaze?

1:46 am

I like sprite's clue better....

1:46 am

I don't thiink is was at all planned... but she exercised her choice and choose to have a child... so time will tell.

1:46 am

Rule # 1: NEVER tell people their life looks like a soap! ;)

1:47 am

Jillibus... yes... I do but stopped when the story line had danny sleeping with leanne...

1:47 am

That wasn't the idea -- justthat sometimes a young mother can be a good one

1:47 am

Blaze, at least she has a loving and supportive family to back her. I hope you will all be alright.

1:48 am

that was the pits, Blaze, but I can't stay away from it

1:48 am

ARB, did you get those words????? Crazy clues LOL

1:49 am

Jilli yes the story line about Gails daughter... I think she will be okay once it is all real and crying... LOL... it is just the unkonwn frankly not in my plans either....but God needs a good laugh once in awhile..

1:49 am

Help on the p3 6/24 (the first 6/24)

1:49 am

cya everyone, will be back later for more

1:49 am

back to es8 - I have to get th6/21 first!

1:49 am

(((((Blaze))))) and your granddaughter as well.

1:49 am

Jaiannah, yes, but not easily. Thank you

They almost rhyme

Guten Morgen! Wie geht's das Grid (OK, I made up the last word)

2:04 am

many affirmatives, and affirmatives, past tense

2:04 am

The Grizzly Grid

2:04 am

But it's not, it is a great grid today :) Hi matty

2:04 am

The Grid of Many Plurals

2:05 am

Got the tm. Help on the ye's, please

Hi Sprite! There's a word beginning TM?!

2:05 am

Oh dear, I said a word. *hangs head in shame*

2:05 am

ARB, I just clued them- affirmatives

2:05 am

I *knew* that was a word - stupid grid wouldn't accept the TM word earlier!

2:05 am

Yes, there is. It means Separation of the parts of a compound word by one or more intervening words; for example, where I go ever instead of wherever I go. (pl)

2:06 am

aah, I thought that was a general description of today's grid for Matty !

You said a word?!

2:07 am

I did. T4/7.

2:07 am

Jilli did you see that... Sprite said a word... Rofl

Hooray, sprite said a word -- but she hasn't typed in the wrong box, alas

2:08 am

I am glad jaianniah didn't bite my head off right away, LOL.

So you did. Naughty Sprite. In your defense, however, it is an easy word to say!

2:08 am

Yay, ARB!!!!!!$%$%$%$%$%$ for you!

2:08 am

2:08 am

WTG ARB!

2:08 am

YAY ARB -- mah-vellous

2:09 am

I was waiting for someone else to point it out first....since I did it twice!

2:09 am

2:09 am

Now to try to understand what some of these words mean!

2:10 am

Got to go! Sleep well!!! *POOF*

2:15 am

I'll check in a bit - our stupid house is half on wireless and half on broadband at the moment so I have to disconnect and stuff to get to my email!

2:16 am

jilli: musical instrument(s) with a keyboard and metal plates struck by hammers that produce bell-like tones. Somehow makes me think of 'famous'.

2:17 am

That's not very conveniant, I think, Ata. But no hurry, of course, I just wondered if it reached you.

2:17 am

thx sprite -- like Ms Holm? (or are you too young for her?)

2:17 am

its not very convenient at all :( but husband should be fixing it soon. I hope.

2:18 am

The actress, jilli? I know of her, a little.

3:39 am

3:41 am

from tr5/10 there are 7 words i have so far

3:46 am

oh, how lovely :)

3:47 am

i'm just not used to everyone feeling that way. i gotta move to europe.

3:47 am

yeah thanks Hurshy

3:47 am

3:47 am

lovely clue hurshy...thank you :)

3:47 am

re9/66 re+sm7/36

3:48 am

hurshy - what time are you meeting up with sprite?

3:48 am

1 (12 your time)

3:48 am

Thank you Hurshy!

3:49 am

sprite was say earlier that the weather is rather wet? that's a shame.

3:49 am

it can't be too wet, the hotel is planning to serve lunch in the garden today.

3:50 am

Have a lovely time whatever the weather.

3:50 am

i'm sure we will :)

3:50 am

i don't mind rain at all anyway.

3:51 am

oh bother, i forgot about my icon. is it bothering anyone? what's the theme today, maybe i can find something.

3:52 am

LOL hurshy - looking at Babblers handbag todays theme is timepieces and was your suggestion

3:53 am

:) well i made so many suggestions, when we had brainstorming sessions, i don't remember them :) i am sure i can find a fun timepiece...

3:53 am

Aloy - how are you getting on witht the grid?

3:54 am

got 100 left to find...now must go and do some work....back later ...thanks for help everyone x

3:54 am

Political correctness dictates that brainstorm might be offensive to epileptics. We are supposed to have thought showers. Such nonsense.

3:55 am

wow, i never heard about that one. refresh!

3:55 am

Bye Karys What total twaddle Haz, political correctness goes too far again!!

3:55 am

this grid is fun so far - big words popping out.. I am cruising along.. (-: how do you like it, FMitch?

3:56 am

Same here Aloy have made it to 102 but the w word is going to get n the way again like yesterday.

3:57 am

w?

3:57 am

*hurshy is puzzled*

3:57 am

huh?

3:57 am

Shhhhh. Work.

3:57 am

ohhhhhhhhhhh

3:57 am

oooooooooooooh

3:58 am

It's politically incorrect to refer to it in case the unemployed take offence.

3:58 am

LOL and at 10.00 I will disapear "poof"

3:58 am

And here I was looking at the grid thinking "There's no W!"

3:58 am

I'm joking - but the time may come.....

3:59 am

well luckily they don't throw people in quod for not being PC

3:59 am

What if you take offence at political correctenss? Will they make PC non-PC?

3:59 am

Someone was arrested here for insulting a horse.

4:00 am

:)

4:00 am

Honestly? That's insane!

4:00 am

arrested? really? what was the punishment?

4:00 am

Funny Kitty!! Darn 10.00 bye all and Happy Babbling - back later.

4:01 am

bye fmitch!

4:01 am

B'bye FMitch!

4:01 am

bye, FMitch... see you later..

4:01 am

bye mitch :)

4:01 am

bye everybody have a good babbling day:)

4:01 am

I'll not be able to remember all the details, but someone in England, caught up in a fracas, insulted the policeman's horse. He was arrested - can't remember if he was convicted of anything, but you get the picture. The horse is still undergoing treatment for mental distress and the compensation figures are bound to be high.

4:02 am

sorry ppl but this bloody switchboard keeps jumpin in front of the grid lol

4:02 am

Bye FMitch !

4:02 am

so was it more a case of police liking to wield their power then?

4:03 am

bye, Jean

4:03 am

They have so many rules and regulations that I think they just like to find an example to fit in with what they perceive to be an offence.

4:04 am

think I 'm going to learn some new "y" words today..

4:04 am

and how about that whole zidane thing, eh? did you hear why he did it? it was pretty bad on the italian player's part...

4:05 am

The Italian was at fault for insulting him, but he should NEVER have reacted the way that he did. It was a great shame that a brilliant career was ended like that.

4:06 am

a very great shame. but i wonder whether the italian player knew that he'd just found out about his mother's illness.

4:07 am

It probably wouldn't have mattered. Exchanging insults seems to be par for the course in football and other sports, including cricket!

4:08 am

yes but telling him he hoped he and his family would die ugly and painful deaths, if he knew that zidane had just found out his mother was seriously ill, is way more morally repugnant than zidane head-butting him.

4:10 am

They were words, dreadful words, but Zidane's actions were wrong. It sends out the wrong message to younger players.

4:11 am

of course. i just think it's unfortunate (and perhaps a reflection of the fact that the course of history has been male-dominated) that physical acts are punishable but emotional ones are not. if a man breaks a woman's heart and she keys his car, she can be punished and he can't.

4:11 am

however, it is of course understandable as physical things are more able to be proved.

4:13 am

Exactly - how do you prove a broken heart? I have sympathy for Zidane as he was obviously provoked, but he should have turned away. Easily said, not so easily done, but one wonders if he doesn't regret that moment of madness.

4:14 am

i'm sure he does regret it. i can't think of a worse way to end a career, and i wish he had been able to remember who he was and what he meant to france.

4:15 am

urf. i'm having P troubles.

4:16 am

Hello all, I've been muddling thru. Have there been glues for the de 8s plz?

4:16 am

He'll not be able to sing the old Piaf song. 'Je ne regrette rien'.

4:16 am

Hello Merk - think puddings and one who hates.

4:17 am

British puddings?

4:17 am

puddies, pies, cakes, cookies....

4:18 am

Ah, yes. Thanx

4:20 am

so for P words i have muscles, a soccer player and pl, and a fur (or to throw stuff at someone). anyone have others?

4:20 am

That's all I have as well.

4:20 am

oh i just got another that rhymes with... purchases.

4:21 am

sorry, noth there yet..

4:23 am

found a ce 7/8 combo - girl's name

4:24 am

pe6/24 top part of a window

4:24 am

valence?

4:24 am

and plural

4:25 am

what you might hang the valance from

4:25 am

Sounds like a tinker or someone who sells wares door to door.

4:25 am

ahhh

4:25 am

didn't know it was called that. thanks :)

4:25 am

yw

4:25 am

wait i can't plural that

4:26 am

That's because we're cluing two different pe6/24 - you can plural the bed one, not the salesman.

4:27 am

bed, window, i'm all dizzy

4:27 am

pe6/24 - in Britain used to decorate the top of a window.

4:27 am

pe+ vowel+ past of to meet someone

4:27 am

i'm coming there tomorrow... a day too late for pe6/24

4:28 am

ok i got it. but not vowel in case anyone else is trying to use that clue.

4:28 am

i need ci 5/16

4:28 am

pe6/24, rhymes with protective headgear.

4:29 am

golly, that second T is mysterious.

4:29 am

ci5/16 is also a girl's name, nickname for cecilia

4:29 am

sorry

4:29 am

i suppose it's in as an alt spelling of a girly guy?

4:29 am

ci5/16 - not what you would want to call a macho man,

4:30 am

thx Haz

4:30 am

Hi all! It's Q-week here at Babble! Although I'm guessing there aren't any q-words today?

4:30 am

nope, not a one.

4:31 am

hi amanda :)

4:31 am

4:31 am

Morning amanda!

4:31 am

4:33 am

4:34 am

i'm sure i will. :)

4:35 am

does anyone have the last i, i have 2 frozen water ones and 5 land-surrounded-by-water ones...

4:36 am

Still looking for the last i as well.

4:37 am

i've got 8 s's left but only one or 2 from most of the boxes.

4:37 am

hurshy I have 3 frozen water and 4 land etc do you have the 7 letter frozen water?

4:37 am

aha, thanks kate!

4:37 am

As in no frozen water - thank you!

4:37 am

actually ic 7/32 meaning no frozen water

4:37 am

you can make the land etc plural

4:37 am

i mean you can make it past tense

4:38 am

of course you know about the pl.

4:38 am

ty--I missed one plural

4:38 am

oh, ok then. :)

4:39 am

i'm trying to decide at what point i need to look at the list in order to finish before i go meet sprite.

4:39 am

I am at 122 words without the list--and do have to get to other things at some point

4:39 am

did i miss discussion on some 8's before i came? i need 3 more.

4:41 am

I have 9 of the 8 letter words. Which do you have?

4:41 am

ce, 2 de, es, 2 re, he, st, 2 tr

4:41 am

i have ce, dex2, he, re, trx2

4:42 am

ok so i need es, st, and another re

4:42 am

Geez, there are that many words? And there are more than 9 8-letter words?!?! must go put in contacts so I can see better!

4:42 am

es + th 6/21

4:42 am

ok got the st

4:42 am

i had best find th6/21 then

4:43 am

st = hairy past tense plus new first letter

4:43 am

uh, that's nothing like the st i found.

4:43 am

re=past tense of thaw again

4:44 am

the other st = flat bottomed glass

4:45 am

ok i am confused. there's just one re and 2 st, then?

4:45 am

Hi how are you all going with the grid

4:45 am

sorry--there are 2 st 8's

4:45 am

is the th6/21 weird too?

4:45 am

and one re

4:46 am

th 6 = plural dissertations

4:46 am

that'd be a no then. :) thanks kate.

4:47 am

and i just need one more 7...

4:48 am

i have ce, 2 de, ic, me, pe, re, sm, 3tr

4:48 am

i think i must need another tr

4:48 am

Aah, I'm finally half way through

4:49 am

cause someone said there were 7 tr5/10 based words.

4:50 am

you wouldn't think it would be that hard, in that case...

4:51 am

oh no, that tr is a 6.

4:51 am

I have what you have except no m 7

4:52 am

me7 is a comparative

4:52 am

I just got the m 7 lol

4:52 am

:)

4:52 am

hmm, well, i'm 90% done, so i think i'll get the list now.

4:53 am

oh those es plurals!

4:54 am

i don't tend to miss the s plurals, but the es plurals are another story.

4:57 am

oh the fish!

4:59 am

anyone have an se 5/6 combo?

5:00 am

oh nvm got them. fish.

5:02 am

it's te7 but i can't figure what it is...

5:05 am

golly. it must start with the te 4/4...

5:05 am

*sings* dancing with myself...

Our systems were down. Now it's up. Did I miss anything?

5:07 am

you missed me discussing words with myself.

5:07 am

i just need te7 and a ty 5/6 combo.

5:08 am

hurshy... for the ty combo, try a word sounds like giving a portion of your income to church.. pl..

5:09 am

alternate spellings! they get me even more than es plurals!

5:09 am

thanks aloyisius.

5:09 am

Hurshy what you give to church, not spelled anyway i know tho

5:09 am

YAY! Got the 9 and the 8's! Now on to the 7's - Hi aloy!

5:10 am

got it! i'm done.

5:10 am

morning

5:10 am

Good morning pam.

5:10 am

congrats, hurshy

5:10 am

congrats Hurshy, hi Pam

5:11 am

yay, hurshy! have fun at lunch with sprite.. hi, amanda and pam..

5:11 am

hmm, pam...your icon seems, at this period in american history, to be inherently paradoxical. you must mean it as a plea.

5:11 am

Hi Pam - Hursh, say hi to Sprite for us!

5:11 am

i have more phantom than real words (real as in babble-accepted, that is)

5:12 am

i shall say hi to sprite from the whole babble world.

5:13 am

which is sort of silly as people can say hi to her directly when she's on but oh well.

5:13 am

beware of rogue tm words

5:14 am

well one anyway.

5:14 am

tm? As in starts with tm, or trademarked words?

5:15 am

as in starts with.

5:15 am

is it that linguistics thing that i can't ever remember?

5:16 am

learn something new every day! (-:

5:16 am

yes but this time it's plural

5:16 am

well, I guess I remembered it well enough to get it on the first monkey-try...

5:17 am

that's OK, I will NEVER get it, LOL

5:17 am

yay amanda :)

5:17 am

Pam - it has the same ending as the plural dissertaton.

5:18 am

*hurshy weighs the desire not to be ridiculously early against the possibility of getting lost and being late and tries to decide the exact right time to leave for lunch*

5:18 am

I'll try, haz

5:19 am

and that 4 letter ending is also a word in its own right. in babbleland anyway.

5:19 am

There's also em6/21 with the same structure.

5:19 am

ye olde throw up basins!

5:19 am

have the em...

5:19 am

and as it turns out, the te7 ends that way too.

5:20 am

It's difficult to get really lost in Amsterdam Hursh - just find a graacht and follow it. In the right direction, of course :)

5:20 am

got it...looking for a 4, not a six, thanks all

5:20 am

well i managed to do it yesterday amanda, due to my map having 2's meaning different things and not noticing that i was near a black 2 instead of a red 2

5:21 am

got the te--thanks, hursh!

5:21 am

yw

5:22 am

i always find my way eventually

5:22 am

Hi all

5:22 am

takes two wings to fly, and I must have another cup of coffee... brb

5:22 am

Of course, with my method you sometimes end up going in circles - but I never mind that. I love wandering aimlessly around Amsterdam

5:23 am

hows todays grid

5:23 am

well the first cause of my trouble yesterday was that i expected to see the obelisk and didn't realize it would be blocked from view by the palace.

5:23 am

today's grid seems harder than it turns out to be in the end.

5:23 am

175 words

5:23 am

did u know that i'm onley a 10 year old kid

5:23 am

alrighty, ye mighty, i'm off to meet spritey

5:24 am

yes, miki, my telepathic sense told me that immediately.

5:24 am

laters all

5:24 am

good morning miki. The grid isn't too bad so far.

5:24 am

bye hurshy have fun :)

5:24 am

See ya, Hursh! Have fun!

5:24 am

hi eva miki :)

5:25 am

morning marso

5:26 am

hi marso, eva

5:27 am

hi amanda :)

5:30 am

hi amanda

5:30 am

ok, I give up - clue for th pe7?

5:31 am

pe7 - plural of pe6/24 - window treatment sounding like protective headgear

5:32 am

thx Haz - has anyone ever heard of that? I don't think I'd want one in my window...

5:32 am

They're widely used here!

5:33 am

I googled it - is it that thingy up at the top? I think we call them valences in the States

5:34 am

it is amanda

5:35 am

Valances are what we call the frilly things under mattresses and hiding the divan arrangement of the bed.

5:35 am

lol haz

5:36 am

No wonder there was confusion earlier on in the log!

5:36 am

Oh, I love the US-Brit confusions! Those things we call dust-ruffles

5:36 am

or bed skirts

5:36 am

or that, too

5:37 am

The education possibilities on babble are endless.

5:37 am

my sis lives in New Hampshire,,but she still has the scouse accent tho she does get a bit mixed up at times,,

5:38 am

I am going to take a break - 46 left to find and the list will help me later.

5:38 am

bye haz

5:39 am

See ya Haz! I think I'm going to the list now...

5:42 am

me too, amanda.. 24 left. Bye, Haz..

5:43 am

Oh, I've got about 50 left, but I think I've got most of the "normal" words - we'll see!

5:52 am

I've got 29 left, all of them T words, again! It seems that I always get the T's last. :)

5:54 am

h'mm, a little ole le4.5 has me befuddled..

5:56 am

that's a babblet, Aloy. The dic doesn't have a def, it's the first syllable of german "to teach"

5:57 am

thanks, amanda... I remember my deutsch! (-:

5:58 am

Sehr gut! So how 'bout returning the favor with the pe6/24?

5:58 am

...the first one, that is, right after the muscles

5:59 am

whoops... I have the second one, sorry.. not the first. Es tut mir sehr leid!

6:00 am

Macht nichts - we'll get it eventually

6:00 am

ya wohl!

6:00 am

would that pe be the one that sounds like exChancellor Kohl

6:01 am

Kohls first name, change h to p and u to e

6:01 am

pe6/24 - looks like an alternative spelling for old fashioned door to door salesman

6:01 am

thanks haz!

6:02 am

nope, that's the second one. Ah! Thx Haz - I'd tried that in verb form, which didn't work

6:02 am

got it... danke, Haz!

6:02 am

You're welcome!

6:02 am

Afternoon, taking a quick 5 min break

6:02 am

Bitte shon.

6:02 am

welcome back, FMitch

6:02 am

tx Haz, got that one too, and I thought you were on break

6:02 am

I'm interrupting my housework as well!

6:02 am

Hi Mitch! Break from solving to chatting, or break from working to babbling?

6:02 am

hi FMitch!

6:03 am

Just getting ready for my morning swim.

6:03 am

LOL break from work to babble and Hi all

6:05 am

That sounds like a lovely idea Eva

6:05 am

Matty - are you still around?

6:06 am

hi fmitch wb :)

6:07 am

Matty's not logged in, FMitch.

6:08 am

But since you're the administrator....

6:08 am

Oh she must have gone recently Oh well not to worry I've emailed her.

6:08 am

LOL very funny!!!

6:08 am

Thought that would amuse you.

6:09 am

ooo, that silly se4/6 from yesterday is here again

6:10 am

yes, but the volcano is missing for a change!

6:10 am

true. I miss it when it's not there...

6:10 am

somebody from spain??

6:10 am

me too! always makes me smile..

6:13 am

how is it possible that stresser isn't a word??

6:14 am

probably for the same reason that neither petless nor hemless are words - who knows?

6:14 am

welll... I find the omission to be a stresser.

6:15 am

scep

6:15 am

Careful Grace or you might find yourself typing the st8/45 into the log!!

6:16 am

never even finished it then lol sorry

6:17 am

Yay! I'm done! *Fireworks* :)

6:17 am

no danger of that FMitch.

6:17 am

Woohoo Kitty!!!

6:17 am

6:17 am

6:17 am

6:17 am

6:18 am

6:18 am

6:18 am

6:19 am

6:20 am

Thanks Kitty - that gave me 2 6's and a 7

6:21 am

Wouldn't have made it without the list

6:27 am

I know what you mean amanda

6:29 am

yes, i remember the old days when it took forever, so I really couldn't play on the "big grid" days..

6:30 am

Ahh Aloy - the days even before Brandyjacks list and pro status.

6:30 am

yes, indeedy..

6:31 am

BJ gave Babble back to me..

6:32 am

LOL it was a very different game in those days.

6:33 am

well, I certainly had to have a different strategy to complete a grid.. very time consuming

6:37 am

I think our nostalgic outburst has sent everyone else to sleep and I must go back to my spreadsheet, only another 800 lines of data to check :((

6:38 am

later, FMitch.. I have 8 left; the "s"s are my hangup today..

6:40 am

6:58 am

I'm at 104 words but this grid is playing tricks on my eyes-- I'm missing so many obvious words!

F - checking now!

7:00 am

a tm word? Huh!?

7:03 am

GraceM, it is the plural of a word that means the insertion of a word or word fragment into another word, for example, "infreakingcredible". Here the word is the plural of that noun.

Got it F - I'll keep my eyes open ;)

not grits, a really good biscuit with cream gravy.

7:38 am

20 words to go!

7:38 am

pe7 anyone?

7:38 am

Fireworks!

7:39 am

It's like the protective headgear only change the h to p.

7:39 am

Congrats Merk! Morning, everyone.

7:39 am

Goodnight, my bedtime here. I finished just in time.

7:40 am

Goodnight then, Merk. :)

7:40 am

Did you get the clue, GraceM?

7:40 am

NOT grits?!? Charm, one can have biscuit with cream gravy AND grits, you know.

7:41 am

yes, but if you have grits, Layne, you need butter too. and then you need an egg to go with the butter. Then the egg begs for some sausage, and if you're having sausage, you need a pancake or three. Then, before you know it, IHOP has run out of breakfast!

7:42 am

LOL! You're right!

7:44 am

ic7 anyone?

7:47 am

Grace....lack of the hard white stuff

7:47 am

Good morning everyone! I just finished grits for breakfast. YUM!

7:47 am

Good morning everyone! I just finished grits for breakfast. YUM!

7:48 am

good morning all!

7:49 am

Morning Annie!

7:49 am

ah...thx!

7:49 am

Hiya, Annie!!!!!

7:49 am

11 to go!

7:49 am

grace - ic7 = no frozen water

7:49 am

im bAAAAAaaaaack!!

7:49 am

Alright, musicmom. What would the morning be like without ground-up hominy?

7:49 am

Morning, musicmom!

7:49 am

:-D

7:50 am

morning, evan

7:50 am

Layne - they definitely brighten the day - especially with a cup of coffee. i don't get them often enough though

7:50 am

Go Grace, Go! :P

7:50 am

Go GRACE!

7:51 am

Are you the solitary grits appreciator in your household?

7:51 am

and to think, all this breakfast chatter started with our phantom words list...hehe

7:51 am

I *am* Layne. Very sad. I make wonderful cheese grits but am the only one who enjoys them

7:52 am

speaking of phantom words - mine is rhythm

7:52 am

cheese grits, mm? never had that - only the salt and butter version.

7:52 am

My phantom is slicers......

7:52 am

Cheese grits are the best way to go. Keep on offering them to your kids, though. There's always hope.

7:52 am

never had grits in my life...hehe

7:52 am

mine is thyme

7:52 am

movieman - take out the 'l' and you have a word....

7:52 am

Charm - just add a little shredded cheddar and a bit of garlic to the butter and salt variety

7:53 am

poor evanadine....

7:53 am

Evanadine - you have no idea what you are missing

7:53 am

My phantom words stem from the Qu at the top. I'm seeing leftover words from yesterday's puzzle. :P

7:53 am

hey. i'm back.... you still talking grits?

7:53 am

If you're making a whole pot of cheese grits (or any grits, really) and you beat an egg into it, it makes the texture smooth and silky.

7:53 am

musicmom - I may have to try that next time - being the solo grits eater in my house as well.

7:53 am

considering its something that can be combined with cheese, youd think i woulda had some by now!! so what do they taste like??

7:53 am

dorens, hi

7:54 am

evanadine...temptress!-hi annie

7:54 am

wow, I am learning the finer points of grits this morning!

7:54 am

re7/32 anyone?

7:54 am

hola

7:54 am

evandine, grits are right up there with the other heavenly carbs that are relatively bland but mix well with other flavors -- like mashed potatoes and rice.

7:54 am

hola, masfalda

7:54 am

grace == to do your sm5/12 over again. past tense for an RE9

7:55 am

Hola, masfalda!

7:55 am

doh! I though I had that already!

7:55 am

I think grits and couscous have similar texture

7:55 am

strange that Sarah likes couscous but won't eat girts

7:56 am

farina has the same texture as grits too

7:56 am

What is farina?

7:56 am

i think ive only even had couscous once ot twice...hehe

7:56 am

is abe on:)?

7:56 am

Evanadine - if it has carbs I eat it:-=)

7:56 am

this is amazing... i think i mentioned grits 20 minutes ago, and I will weigh in now...don't like them...don't like any hot cereal

7:57 am

its a cereal very close to the taste of grits. very hard to get grits here but when I see on a menu I always order it. diner grits are the best. yummy

7:57 am

now there's grist for your mill

7:57 am

one of nine???

7:57 am

please

7:57 am

for cryin out loud... I can't find the first se4!!

7:57 am

im not so much a carb addict, as a cheese addict...so if cheese can go on it or in it, im a fan. plus, i like foods if they have a nice texture...

7:57 am

cheese grits with a little crispy bacon or pancetta are wonderful...

7:58 am

sorry grace, don't have it

7:58 am

I'll have to look for some farina, and give it a try.

7:58 am

evandine, a lot of people complain about the texture of grits. But I've found that they have always been served grits without butter, egg, cheese, or other yummy additives.

7:59 am

I don't have it either --- I've been too busy talking about breakfast to actually enter words. Shhheeesh you would think this is a word game or something<G>

7:59 am

Grace, is that the one that's se + another word for myself?

8:00 am

se**noid?

8:00 am

nope got that one...

8:00 am

oops, I think someone's going to correct me on that one!

8:01 am

se+ present tense form of to be

8:01 am

Sorry, Grace. That's the only SE I have so far. Just started a bit ago.

8:01 am

Ah.... fireworks! it's an se4 abbr for units of time...

8:01 am

Congrats!

8:02 am

BRAVO GRACE

8:02 am

8:15 am

and what does it matter if it's a real word? it isn't HERE

8:17 am

struggling with the es 8 here

8:18 am

es8 = es + what you write at the end of your master/ph.d

8:18 am

oh, and it's a pl of that doc at the end of the masters/phd

8:19 am

8:24 am

80 words left to find, here

8:24 am

i don't love it today, ch...have 75 left but have to leave soon and will finish later

8:24 am

thanks, mm -- I'll plunge in

8:24 am

dont have either G word yet...hints?

8:25 am

yup---gi + past tense

8:25 am

I don't have them

8:25 am

gi4/7, gi4/6 - think Scottish for give/gave

8:25 am

doh, nevermind! in typical ME fashion, i find them after i say i need help!

8:25 am

Hello all... any clues for the tm word?

8:25 am

thanks dorens

8:25 am

then make that present

8:26 am

thank you my g is grey

8:26 am

Eiter this grid is too hard or I am too tired - I think the latter - see you all later, I'm off to sleep

8:26 am

good night lynxxx

8:26 am

dorens -- regret

8:27 am

egret for that matter---i'm still mad aboput william blake...tyger

8:28 am

burning bright? ;)

8:29 am

that's it...and it works

8:30 am

Looked back through the log, and I can't fathom out the cluez for the es8 or the ce7......further cluez required.....

8:30 am

Movie man es+Martin Luther's 95 th6

8:30 am

es8 - add the plural dissertation (th6/21)

8:30 am

ce 7-----the planets are ce****ial bodies....take it from there

8:31 am

ce7 is a musical instrument like a harpsichord, it is also the name of Babar's wife

8:31 am

ce7 is a keyboard instrument that makes heavenly bell sounds.

8:31 am

ce7/32 - a woman's name with a heavenly sound

8:31 am

Movieman = the ce7 is a girl's name (I usually think of Sister Ce*****)

8:31 am

ce is also a woman's name

8:31 am

drop the ial and the last letter and add the second vowel...then plurallise

8:31 am

oh right...movie man. CE***** HOLMES

8:32 am

but only if you like OLD movies

8:32 am

You could have also linked it with the famous ghost ship, the Mary Ce*****.....

8:33 am

Did you get the es8, movieman?

8:34 am

Yep, got 'em both......

8:35 am

Dorens, is that little Phoebe? she is so beautiful!!!1

8:36 am

yes thanksannie, that is she....one week ago

8:37 am

she is an old lady of one week. i wish her a happy and healthy life full of great surprises

8:37 am

For an extra clue for the ce7, you could have also linked it with the famous ghost ship, the Mary Ce*****.....

8:37 am

Love, LOV E that tm word!! Would anyone care to share their favorite example of it?

8:37 am

Yes please. I'd love an example of the tm word. Maybe it'll clue me in to what it is. :)

8:38 am

I love the tm word too!!!! Learned it here

8:38 am

this puzzle is abso-freaking-crazy

8:39 am

A whole nother word to learn!

8:39 am

there is no-stinking-way all these words are here.

8:39 am

tm = tuna melt.......would love one right about now

8:39 am

Hee!!

8:39 am

I gave an example earlier in the log. I think it was "infreakingcredible." Or, for an Aussie, absobloodylutely. There's a commoner one, of course, but in deference to the young uns here, I'll let you think it up yourselves.

8:39 am

WordsRock - the word is formed by em plus the ending of the plural dissertations, or the plural of es.

8:39 am

tm plus the ending, my mistake.

8:40 am

Hi hi all

9:23 am

the last st6/18 is a mystery to me, could I get a clue?

9:23 am

Well, I thought I'd grab a few minutes of babbling and chatting - but babbling alone is always faster if your goal is to get all the words...

9:24 am

i have not a single st yet harp! thanks for pointing the letter combo out to me though.

9:24 am

sorry, harp - just got going.

9:24 am

11:01 am

may I have a clue for the tr8

st8 - past tense of st6 meaning pressure on someone

11:02 am

the one tr 8 I have is the plural of tr 7/28

11:03 am

thanks, Stephie, FYI the st8/45 is one of the de8/45 spelled backwards

11:03 am

es8 is es plus th6/21 st8 - wine glass without it's bottom? Plants like this might not grow... st8 - arrrgh! I'm st..... and want to break something!! tr8 - plural of tr7 - sounds like a type of folding table Still missing one myself...

12:26 pm

my cats would never recover from the trauma - never.

12:26 pm

One of mine is pretty weird anyway - so couldn't do much worse.

12:27 pm

I'd get the worst of that battle

12:28 pm

Every once in a while, I mildly sedate my Sophie. Only cat I've met who is an insomniac.

12:28 pm

ow ow ow, stop talking cats, you're making me miss mine too much

12:29 pm

Aww, hurshy....

12:30 pm

the royal family will be overjoyed to see you again. It has been my observation that cats have a poor sense of time passage.

12:31 pm

well they have got used to my friend who is staying there and taking care of them, so marty's been getting his necessary love. he thinks he needs love more than food.

12:31 pm

Good moprning/afternoon/evening! I have ~~~~~fireworks~~~~~~!!!!!!

12:31 pm

Hey lync, got a clue for me on that one?

12:32 pm

Ty, Mab!

12:33 pm

it it oast tense of another word

12:33 pm

past tense*

12:33 pm

What a fun puzzle! But I found it a work-out for my left fingers on the keyboard!

12:33 pm

Well let me give that a little thought. Perhaps I can come up with the present tense first. :)

12:34 pm

6/24 he

12:34 pm

he clue, word think of what soldiers wear

12:34 pm

Got it! Thanks for the clue, lync :)

12:34 pm

Roman soldiers that is

12:34 pm

or football players

12:34 pm

or combat ones too

12:35 pm

Sometimes I wear one on my bike.

12:35 pm

YW Words...

12:36 pm

bikes don't wear headgear, silly

12:36 pm

Maybe your bike doesn't :)

12:37 pm

well, a few ostrich plumes...

12:37 pm

My bike wears one all the time - flat tire, so it sits on the seat...

12:37 pm

i wast walking down the street yesterday and a girl went by on a bike and a toothbrush she'd just bought fell out of the bag on the back and i tried to catch her attention but i couldn't.

12:38 pm

there's an awful lot of bikes here.

12:38 pm

what an amusing anecdote. You will some day relate it to your grandchildren.

12:39 pm

:)

12:39 pm

ok ok so my anecdotes are boring

12:39 pm

Are you in Amsterdam?

12:39 pm

That reminds me of a funny story. They have a he6/24 law for motorcycles in Illinois- my cousin thought he ws obeying the law by wearing his he 6/24 on his knee- he got pulled over by a cop, and got a ticket for not wearing it on his head. Then he got into an accident- and trashed his knee!

12:39 pm

yeppers

12:39 pm

it was nice of you to try to return the toothbrush.

12:40 pm

i keep singing "even old new york, was once new amsterdam"

12:40 pm

So what did you do with the toothbrush, hurshy?

12:40 pm

i didn't do anything with the toothbrush. i just left it there on the ground.

12:40 pm

tell, tell, hurshy!

12:41 pm

"...thus ruining the very pants i was about to return!"

12:41 pm

I'm evil. Just ignore me.

12:41 pm

la forza del destino!

12:42 pm

Did ANYONE see my story???? I feel invisible!

12:42 pm

we were so stunned by the irony we knew not what to say, katrine

12:42 pm

gah... only a few more words.. anyone got the re.9,66?

12:42 pm

katrine, I think that's the very definition of tragicomedy!

12:43 pm

re9 - did something to iron, again

12:43 pm

I saw it. ironic. la forza del destino!

12:43 pm

past tense of re 7/32

12:43 pm

hey there misu, have you got a twin called tira? har har har

12:44 pm

yay, ta!

12:44 pm

Hurshy, do you have a twin called bar?

12:45 pm

everyone's comments go unreplied at times, it's the nature of the beast, katrine...it doesn't mean anything

12:45 pm

oooooo torgone good one

12:45 pm

12:45 pm

12:45 pm

mebbe hurshy has a bro named squirt

12:45 pm

ty, hurshy....

12:46 pm

oh, Katrine, no.... I think that the log moves so fast on this new site that it is easy to miss people if you're not watching carefully.

12:46 pm

or a sister named park?

12:46 pm

hurshy and squirt walk into a bar

12:46 pm

Hi everyone! does anyone remember doogle? He babbled mostly in the fall of last year.

12:46 pm

*deutsch zooms into the log*

12:46 pm

ya, he doesn't seem to be around lately.....

12:46 pm

yes....

12:47 pm

nothing horrible happend to him, did it?

12:47 pm

He was married Sunday in a most beautiful location. she was stunning and he was dapper in his tails.

12:48 pm

they are honeymooning in Bar Harbor and Nova Scotia.

12:48 pm

mab - you gotta try not to let your mind work that way

12:48 pm

Oh good.

12:48 pm

why, she was right.......

12:48 pm

Now I was thinking that perhaps he dropped a toothbrush while biking through Amsterdam....

12:48 pm

do you know doogle, deutsch?

12:48 pm

oh bj!

12:49 pm

no, no, Fiz, no!

12:49 pm

it would have to be his bride that dropped it... that would be SO funny though

12:49 pm

Yes, mab. he works with a friend of mine.

12:49 pm

snicker....

12:49 pm

ah. well, that's lovely.

12:49 pm

brandy jack, I'll pass on your thoughts LOL

12:50 pm

we've not seen you for ages, deutsch.

12:51 pm

Mab, it's been a while, yes. I start a new job in the Fall. I'll be employed at the same place as Doogle, actually. So I've been getting things ready there.

12:51 pm

doogle should work at google

12:51 pm

LOL, hurshy!

12:52 pm

no more teaching police cadets?

12:52 pm

need help with is4, please

12:52 pm

i want to teach police cadets!

12:53 pm

But what would you teach them, hurshy?

12:53 pm

Mab, I'm trying to work them in. I have a new class starting in July.

12:53 pm

hello all

12:53 pm

small body of land in the sea, dorens.

12:53 pm

hi kalea

12:53 pm

silly me...put it in the wront spot, thanks mab

12:53 pm

how is everybody today?

12:53 pm

i would teach them math or something.

12:54 pm

Hurshy, you would love working with the cadets. They stand when you enter the room, call you ma'am and stand to when you leave a room. And you can make them do push ups.

12:54 pm

Hi Kalea

12:54 pm

hi kalea

12:54 pm

i could make the boys i taught do push ups if i wanted, i think, if it had ever occurred to me

12:55 pm

men should always stand when a women gets up.

12:55 pm

Oh, that. I was thinking you could teach them small arms handling or tailing or something.

12:55 pm

only i can't do even one push up so i probably wouldn't

12:55 pm

good heavens mab, why? that would make me feel so conspicuous, if they did that.

12:55 pm

but i don't know anything about small arms handling or tailing

12:56 pm

when you are out for a meal, does your husband not at least begin to get up when you do?

12:56 pm

Oh, fine, hurshy; go ahead and just let reality take all the fun out of everything!

12:56 pm

The cadets are taught sociology, Maryland and baltimore law, police procedures, evasive driving, shooting, stuff like that.

12:56 pm

you know, the half stand

12:56 pm

reality? what's that?

12:56 pm

unless you mean how to handle the small arms of a cat when you clip its claws, or petting the tail

12:57 pm

Desperately need cluez for the 'p', I only have the pe4/5 (animal skin)........

12:57 pm

i dunno mab, i think we just get up at the same time.

12:57 pm

hi deutsch, remember me from your notetaking class in may (CCG Momentum) I was graceica :o)

12:57 pm

Or when Georgette would say please, don't get up, then all the men would stand up.

12:57 pm

movieman, there's some muscles

12:57 pm

have been hooked on this game eversince

12:57 pm

and there's a soccer player

12:57 pm

hi BJ! and movieman...

12:57 pm

"Drop and give me the square root of 400, maggot!!"

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

Ronnielee, yes! How have you been?

12:58 pm

ROFL torgone!

12:58 pm

12:59 pm

1:00 pm

Ronnielee, I won't be able to, I'm afraid.

1:00 pm

I'm having to give up some good people, but this is a good opportunity for me.

1:00 pm

sorry to here that but we can still chat on this site

1:00 pm

1:01 pm

1:01 pm

1:03 pm

This site is addicting, ronnielee. You're right about the people, too!

1:04 pm

I've become totally consumed with Babble. And I only started last week! lol

1:04 pm

it also is helping my son who is going into the 2nd grade, he helps me in the evenings & also helps me teach his spelling

1:06 pm

Pretty kitty, Ciocia. ronnie, I'm glad it's helping with this spelling. It helps me, too!

Hi again folks. Lessie how we do. One more word to the 100, then I can go to the list...

1:06 pm

If the chest muscle is a word than so should "delts"!

1:07 pm

it's even at times teaching me different words, some are a little risque at times

1:07 pm

what a great job, deutsch. reminds me of the possibilities if I go into teaching. congratulations :)

1:07 pm

There are so many "alternate" spellings in Enable, that I'm not sure it's a reliable teacher!

1:07 pm

delt

1:07 pm

1:07 pm

Hi Mattie! Thanks, mab.

1:13 pm

Howdy all. Home from a drizzly walk to and from the library. Hannah is set up with her books and I can play for a while.

1:13 pm

hello musicmom

1:13 pm

hi musicmom! haven't seen you since music camp finished... may I boast?

1:14 pm

BY ALL MEANS stid! Tell me!!!1

1:14 pm

haha! just passed halfway.

1:15 pm

Bravo!!!

1:15 pm

I have 61 left. I was here early this morning

1:15 pm

okay -- well, Grant had been taking violin lessons from a teacher at his school (offered them to any kids who wanted before school twice a week) all year long. Enjoyed it but didn't seem to be really doing what he loved.

1:15 pm

and...

1:15 pm

where is Enable?

1:16 pm

At music camp, he took beginning strings and beginning band. In the strings class, he improved so much that last night he was playing music from Lord of the Rings... BY EAR!

1:16 pm

and in beginning band, he learned to play the trombone... and can also play by ear on that now...

1:16 pm

WHOOOHOOO! That is terrific stid. Playing by ear is a real talent.

1:17 pm

AND two days ago at my mother's house he sat down and spontaneously started playing the piano _sightreading_

1:17 pm

gotta go for a sec. guest has arrived.

1:17 pm

I have developed my ear more since teaching Kindermusik but it is great when kids can - they don't know it is supposed to be hard<G>

1:21 pm

back.

1:21 pm

welcome

1:21 pm

wb stid

1:22 pm

Yes, the boys have nearly perfect pitch, so it is nice when they play -- they self-correct! although, kids' ears seem to be able to handle more LOUD sounds than mine.

1:22 pm

Definitely they can handle loud:-)) I was at a continuing ed workshop for KM all weekend. Very satisfying.

1:23 pm

I saw a kindermusic sign on a front lawn in town the other day. Didn't realize it was such a big organization!

1:24 pm

Very large - international. It has been in existence for 25+years.

1:25 pm

hi stid and musicmom! just here for a sec

1:25 pm

How nice to be part of something like that! I think the arts are vastly underrated -- and wish more was done to get kids excited about music and other pursuits

1:25 pm

hi feather! did you ever get the paint off daniel's leg?

1:25 pm

lol, yeah, that came right off

1:25 pm

i however still have random strands of hair with paint on them

1:25 pm

I agree stid. That's why I really believe in what I do. By teaching children from birth you give them a strong intro to a variety of styles of music

1:26 pm

That will last for a while featherbee. I think I was stil finding speckles of paint in my hair two weeks later.

1:26 pm

green or beige, feather? LOL (seeing a picture of a parrot in my mind)

1:26 pm

the beige thankfully!

1:27 pm

my kids didn't have a choice... I sing constantly! and their father listens to the radio (usually jazz or classical) when he is home.

1:27 pm

want to know something sweet? i get applause from daniel when i finish singing a lullaby to him!

1:27 pm

Yep our kids either. Sarah took Suzuki violin at age 3 and Hannah was a Kindermusik baby.

1:27 pm

That is terrific feather!

1:27 pm

hee, i love it

1:27 pm

Keep singing singing singing!!!!!

1:28 pm

that is darling, feather! I miss those days...

1:28 pm

we didn't have the money for Suzuki violin when Grant was little. though I know he would have loved it. He's always gravitated toward fiddle music.

1:28 pm

help with the pe 6/24? doesn't matter which one

1:29 pm

We were fortunate. Sarah had a scholarship because Greg teaches in the same community music school.

1:29 pm

a travelling salesman minus one d

1:29 pm

pe 6/24 is just the same as an HE word, then plural for a 7

1:30 pm

3:07 pm

3:29 pm

Thanks Oggy

3:30 pm

take off the past tense of re8

If I take a bad photgraph, and so have taken it again, I could saiy it's re6/21.

3:30 pm

(I don't have the RE 8 yet...)

Or if I fire a gun at something and miss, I might later decide it should be re6/21

Back.....and very woozy... =:

3:31 pm

I have that re 6/21 matty, need the one that comes before it please?

Oh dear, and my carefully thought out silly clue.

3:34 pm

any clue for the tm 6/21?

3:34 pm

that miserable me 7/32 is still eluding me. Dense today.

3:35 pm

tm + es 4/4

3:35 pm

inge, se 5 is the se + form of BE verb + vowel

3:35 pm

just add on from the se4/4 before the 5/6

My mom is at work. And I'm a big girl. I've been driving a lot. No more though....I'm staying safely at home after this.

any hints on the ce7 and ce8 words?

3:36 pm

me 7/32 -- if you have me 5/16... then this is more of that. My room is me 5/16, but my son's room is even me 7/32.

10:34 pm

Hello Everyone!

10:34 pm

Thanks CadFan.

10:34 pm

that's awful nrk! you should go get some of the drops they give after lasik.

10:34 pm

yes, best to make sure it doesn't get infected anyway.

10:34 pm

Hello!

10:34 pm

10:35 pm

yippee!!! it's good to be home...

10:35 pm

hiya mrpres

10:36 pm

yes, will prob call doctor tomorrow for antibiotic drops -- trouble is, some antibiotic eyedrops can be bad for your eyes, so I'm not anxious to use them if I don't need them

10:36 pm

maybe if it's not infected, just something to make it stop hurting?

10:36 pm

I love my home! I love my 100Mbps instead of 14.4 Kbps too!

10:37 pm

nrk, i don't know how good or bad they are, but some people get steroid drops after lasik to help heal faster.

10:37 pm

dont they sometimes put a pach so you totally rest the eye?

10:37 pm

stid, good point -- less pain would be good

10:37 pm

LOL at least your priorities are clear, mrp!

my friends all had steroid drops, but this was a few years ago.

10:38 pm

are the kids glad to be home too? I bet Lickety missed you (he hung out here a couple times...)

10:38 pm

the thing that made me mad was the manager of the store saw me shortly after it happened, and noticed I didn't look happy, so he asked if I needed help... when I told hiim what had happened, he said "oh, okay" and walked away!

10:38 pm

te 4/4: tr + the little alien who phoned home?

10:38 pm

11:37 pm

I think a couple of weeks ago. I figured why not.

11:38 pm

Bambam, do you know AZ? I was in Singapore summer of '97 for two weeks. Very interesting place. I think about it all the time.

11:38 pm

well welcome to the Pros boa! i guess it's been that long since i've been on the same time as you.

11:39 pm

i was here when you were here! yeah i been to the canyon and scottsdale playing golf, totally awesome place -- if it suits in 15 yrs or so i'll retire there

11:39 pm

FranMag, I was just going to ask you what time is it in Hawaii? How many hours ahead of Mountain time are you?

11:39 pm

it's 6:30 pm here boa.

11:40 pm

i'm a big fan of dry heat... which could have something to do with 15 years of my life in SE Asia where it is ALWAYS hot n humid!

11:40 pm

STID- if you're there - I just phoned hetty's hubby but got the machine. Will try again tomorrow.

11:40 pm

Bambam, well, I guess if you can endure the same topical weather everyday in Singapore, you can certainly get thru the monsoons here.

11:41 pm

thanks Jill -- I don't want to fuss, but personally I don't like being in hospitals...

11:41 pm

I just got back, but need to go help do the dishes. Tom is getting dishpan hands... the least I can do is dry things!

11:41 pm

back soon.

11:41 pm

my only memory of arizona was arriving in phoenix on July 2nd when i was 6 and getting slammed by a wall of heat!! have some good friends that live there and went to school there. they seem to like it.

11:41 pm

FranMag, oh you are only 3 hours behind (I meant to write behind before) the mainland.

11:41 pm

yeah Sydney has perfect weather really (where i'm from) .... but it's a big city now, too expensive to retire there if you're not working.... much like NYC or LA or any other major world city

11:42 pm

yes boa! we're not that far.

11:42 pm

the better thing about the states is there are lots of medium sized cities where you can still get what you want but it's cheap..... in australia if you're not in sydney or melbourne (and some would argue perth n brisbane) you are nowhere

11:43 pm

FranMag, ya wall of heat is what I say to folks who have never been here before and arrive for the first time in summer.

11:43 pm

11:49 pm
