2:01 am

Thank you all! Now I can get to bed so I can take hubby to the dentist at 7:40 AM (it's now 2:05!

2:02 am

2:05 am

I dont have a clue about the eight

2:06 am

2:06 am

2:07 am

I'll tell you all the rest in mail, Ata, after I am done drooling ;)

8 letter word ?

I got 40 words pretty quickly - struggling on the last 13, though.

captain, the eight letter word is a sweetener that begins with fr

Make that 11.

2:23 am

I am down to 6 now, it is a really nice grid :)

Thanks to those who congratulated me. I was watching something else, and it's matty's fault

To you, matty, I offer this: snarg.net

What did you think, Sam?

I think it was just a touch bizarre

Entertaining, though

2:24 am

yes, very bizzare

2:24 am

too anxious to sleep. *pops another blue pill*. gonna see a "specialist" tomorrow, wish me luck that it wont be too expensive!

2:24 am

good luck froelica!

It is nice to have a short puzzle in an easy grid. I never have time to finish the horrendously large ones

2:25 am

My good thoughts and prayers will go with you, froelica! That they may find it, are able to cure it and are not expensive :)

2:25 am

thanks! night all!!

2:25 am

I love them all. ;)

2:25 am

Just gaving a quick peek at today's baby - how cute it is! See you all later (if you haven't finished!)

crazy woman! she is revolting and heartless... her opinion counts for nothing after that idiocy ...

3:37 am

i still cant belive he is actually gone its too hard to belive

3:38 am

did you hear that his manager told the camera man to carry on filming no matter what

3:40 am

sarah, I don't think so

3:41 am

it was on bbc news 24

3:41 am

sara i think its taken out of contest, directors alwasy say keep filming no matter what. time is money etc

3:42 am

I believe filming was stopped as soon as cameraman realised

there will be alot of stuff on the news... they didn't realise until after the fact

3:42 am

well thats the way it was said on bbc news

3:43 am

there is a shoe on about steve irwin tonight on channel 9(i think) at 7:30

10:56 am

You're missing half a word se4.

Morning stidmama

10:58 am

any clues for the 7 letter word?

10:59 am

I know - small grids and early starts leave you with no excuses!

10:59 am

The seven letter word is the French plural rendition of fungus/chocolate treats.

10:59 am

My feelings exactly when I logged in a little bit ago... But that's okay because whatever I do today, I do without my kids demonstrating "brotherly love" in the backgound today!

11:00 am

11:39 am

true enough bex, my kids started back an hour ago... I don't think they'll have homework, but I know they'll be tired when they get in.

11:39 am

For some reason boring lessons are more enervating than interesting ones.

11:40 am

i didnt get homework either but have been told i need to get 2 files( so far) expecting to need more

11:40 am

az + m***er, fa**er

man i dont get this game

11:40 am

sera -- what don't you get?

40 words left! thats so not possible!!

11:40 am

why not? have you found more than 13?

11:40 am

sure it is, sera!

the grey tiles-- these letters cant be used, right?

no, i have only found 13 so far.. and i cant come up with any more.

11:41 am

oh -- the gray tiles indicate which letters do not START words. They can be used in the middle of the words

11:41 am

bubba - think parents for the clue I gave

... oh god. that might explain.

11:42 am

There is a lovely website that helped me when I was new, sera -- try Angelsong's Resource page http://www.freewebs.com/angelsong/

alright, thanks alot!! :D i shouldve let out my frustration alot earlier...

11:42 am

Thanks,mymuseisme,I've NEVER heard that one!

11:42 am

11:44 am

yw bubba congrats!!! How about checking out quote-puzzler.com, many babblers have been playing there

11:44 am

oh -- that explains it! LOL did Ernesto pee on you, too?

11:44 am

excuse me for butting in, but does someone understand Babbler's email addy? I can't figure it out and wish to contact her

11:44 am

Seems everyone on the eastern seaboard got wet from that one.

11:45 am

just a sec firefly...

11:45 am

thanks stid - will wait

11:45 am

okay, here's how it parses out....

11:46 am

Babbler_2006 (at) yahoo dot co dot uk

11:46 am

lol Stid - it did for 2 days, but we drove to another part of Florida where it wasn't so rainy

11:46 am

eliminate spaces and put in symbols for at and dot

11:46 am

Good thinking, muse! :-) smart lady, like I always said...

11:46 am

yeah, I did that, but it didn't work...

11:46 am

Central Florida needed the rain anyway, their reservoirs were supposedly down

11:47 am

Babbler_2006@yahoo.co.uk wouldn't even send - my Yahoo account said it was incorrect

11:47 am

Did you try eliminating the underline?

11:48 am

oh bother - i had a SPACE in it SORRY

11:48 am

True, muse -- so are ours here (our "reservoirs" being the snow-covered mountains)...

11:48 am

Afternoon all.

11:48 am

It has rained at odd times the last several years.

11:48 am

hi Judi!

11:48 am

11:49 am

A doable puzzle! Yay!

11:49 am

Don't you get rain on the beaches, gail? My aunt lives in Pismo and it's gray and rainy a lot there!

11:50 am

Hiya stid!

11:50 am

11:50 am

Hi Judy - sorry I missed your entrance

11:51 am

11:52 am

Good job, Cath!

11:53 am

tks all...(i did steal a couple clues)...y'all didn't even know i was here did ya! ;)

11:53 am

11:53 am

wowza, Cathy

11:53 am

Avec isn't here either,stidmama! Rotters!

11:53 am

11:54 am

clues anyone? i only have a couple minutes to bk to work

11:54 am

But I am down to 15 :-) so I know I will finish today! *looking forward to improving my score slightly*

11:54 am

one of the em's is like the as5/12

11:54 am

both f's end with what we call a person in a coma they are coma****, fu + that ending is the 6, then add the r to the other for the 7

11:54 am

Clues for the two f words please.

11:54 am

Yes please Cathy -- I have AV 4 and AZ 5. what is the other A word please?

11:55 am

as5

11:55 am

ahh, stid --- think of a man's scarf.

11:55 am

The name of a race track in Englande, or the scarf a person wears

11:55 am

man's neckwear

11:55 am

thanks muse -- and bubba!

11:55 am

the as 5/12 stidmama is like a necktie...sort of that they wear in england

11:55 am

I never get the necktie one... thanks Cathy!

11:55 am

I found an F word,spelled wrong,vulgar and so not in this puzzle,lol!

11:56 am

the 2 f word clues would be nice since I don't have them either

11:56 am

i think of David Niven wearing one. LOL.

11:56 am

es5/12 is similar stidmama

11:56 am

tried that and it didn't work for me lol

11:56 am

Morning, Stid. Theother "a" word is as5/12-- a place known for its race course--"Move yer bloomin' arse!

11:56 am

just clued the f's at 11:54

11:56 am

that gives me a long column of gray! oh! and that was my missing E, thanks again Cathy!

11:57 am

LOL hetty, so good to see you here! Now that the boys are back in school, I'll be on more in the daytime (I hope) I've missed you!

11:57 am

Enjoy your long columns, stid

11:57 am

wow...i think this is the first time i ever got to give stidmama a clue!!! :) :)

11:57 am

fu + vari*** veins + 2nd vowel

11:57 am

hi hetty

11:57 am

Do you know if Jill's monitor is fixed yet? Didn't she have a problem with her computer just a month ago? *sigh* so inconvenient when our connections go down!

11:57 am

Then add fr to the ending for the 7

11:57 am

But it won't be the last Cathy, trust me!

11:58 am

welll...gotta head back to the office now...lunchtime's over. :(

11:58 am

lol stid...see u all later

11:58 am

How do you people know these words!?

11:58 am

thanks bubba got the sugary one

11:58 am

Hi gail I'd finished by 8 a.m.! now I'm waiting tillo jilli is at the library in order to offer her my laptop for the day--her monitor is down

11:58 am

we monkeytype mostly, davidsmutha -- or we have been addicted for so long that we actually recognize them (how sad is that?)

11:59 am

the 7 is also a sugar starting with fr, sometime they use it instead of glucose

11:59 am

david, lickety's babble clues under friends of babble gives a list of what words start with and how long

11:59 am

Please give Jill my love -- I miss seeing her!

11:59 am

bummer about her 'puter, hetty. sounds like you're a good pal!

11:59 am

that's the one I have, missing the other bubba

11:59 am

(today I am trying to use just the stat boxes and the chat for help...)

12:00 pm

actually have the 8 and not 7

12:00 pm

I totally understanding knowing words after a while. I love me some crossword puzzles!

12:00 pm

I'll do that, stid. She is not a morning person, as I am, so we don't often find ourselves on the game together (as it were!)

12:00 pm

I'll do that, stid. She is not a morning person, as I am, so we don't often find ourselves on the game together (as it were!)

12:01 pm

got bubba thanks!!!!!

12:01 pm

I don't generally do crosswords -- too time consuming... but I know they come in handy with this game!

12:01 pm

See? Even the box is into coupling!

12:01 pm

fu + there is a big discount store call ***tco, then add the second vowel

12:01 pm

as does playing boggle, stid. with practice, one can 'see' words sideways, etc.

12:02 pm

thanks hetty -- I had the strangest dream last night that my family was emigrating to Australia... and it was scary because everything was so new. Made me think of you as soon as I woke up!

12:02 pm

Hi hetty! Hope Jilli's pc gets fixed real soon

12:02 pm

i lived in NZ for three months, stid. hardest part was driving on the "wrong" side of the road! LOL

12:03 pm

oh well... I gave myself until 10 am to get as many as I could. Now my plan is to put on outside clothes (jammies are no good for gardening) and play in the garden a bit. Later all!

12:03 pm

If it's O.K. forthe Micawber family, it's O.K. for the Stidhams. Our daughter is still convinced we are magicking the Freo Dockers into winning every game!

12:03 pm

that is funny gail! I didn't know they did that there...

12:04 pm

And of course, come November we'll be on our way there, D.V.

12:04 pm

12:04 pm

That FU coma clue...I'm missing something...help again?

12:05 pm

12:05 pm

They do everything the U.K.way--much more Brit than Canada is, especially New Zealand

12:05 pm

12:05 pm

4:09 pm

hi all - I'm just sneaking a word on the library computer while it's quiet. I'm also hopeful that I'll be able to function at home with a borrowed 15" reject from the library. Shame to miss this nice little grid although it looks as if it's full of phantoms - Hetty called and kindly offered a loan of her laptaop, the dear, and said there were loads of weird words.

4:09 pm

close meg

4:09 pm

oh Jill -- we miss you. Didn't you just get over some computer trouble?

4:09 pm

*laptop

4:10 pm

fu 6,33?

4:10 pm

thanks torgone

4:11 pm

Hi Stid, Jill, Enomis, nut. I was off checking e-mail. Anybody need clues?

4:11 pm

fu 6/33

4:11 pm

hi Scrabbler, I am working on my very last word. It is a T4 and I am going to find it...

4:12 pm

and I did! firewords :-)

4:12 pm

Yay, Stids!

4:12 pm

fu 6/33 = fr 8 65 minus a couple of letters - as someone else defined earlier so I can't take credit

4:13 pm

Okay, my challenge now is a big, hairy pile of laundry that has been looking at me for weeks.

4:13 pm

fu + "That was a ***** call" minus the "L"

4:13 pm

wd stidmama

4:13 pm

Literally hairy -- the German Shepherd sheds _constantly_

4:13 pm

help! I only need 2 more words !! Having a major blonde moment! I need a A5 and an E5

4:13 pm

Your boys look so thrilled to have started school, Stids.

hmmm................

4:14 pm

I think you want the necktie that is named for a famous racecourse, Thissa -- the E is the same; A + the first four letters of the country above England.

4:14 pm

stid - I'm still in the middle of the computer trouble - my monitor died. See below for the interim solution (I hope)!

4:14 pm

chuggaboom...awesome

4:14 pm

a5 and e5 are similar=====as/es + what you sleep on in a tent, a ***

4:14 pm

e5 is like one of those ladies you can hire to take out on a date minus the r

what?

4:14 pm

Yes, they were excited and nervous, but mostly ready I think. I was glad to see them go (that makes me a bad mama I know) but already miss them.

4:14 pm

I got that a5 thanks I need the other one

4:15 pm

ru 4/11?

4:15 pm

I saw the interim solution, keeping my fingers crossed for its success!

Thanks so much--that was a great clue!

yvw

I am SO ready for the new grid

6:59 pm

Oh dear - another addict!

7:00 pm

Not that I am... I finished the grid hours and hours ago... I've been busy all day. Why am I back here now? Erm...

grins, yer an addict Jacula, a flat out addict

it's good to know I'm not the only one

7:01 pm

Moi?? *looks shocked*

7:01 pm

well..i'm going to go play some OOO...see ya all tomorrow

I took a look at the recipes you posted... great stuff! Recipes are another addiction of mine

7:01 pm

Not the only one by any means, metaleather.

7:02 pm

Play some what? OOO?

7:02 pm

Out Of Order

7:02 pm

that game keeps my mind working

7:03 pm

Well, if you like recipes, Metal, I invented 2 more today. Not on BabAnon yet though - I need to have them family-tested first.

7:03 pm

Bean - not heard of that game.

7:03 pm

out of order.com

7:03 pm

can anyone give me the clue for the cu 5/14, please?

cool

7:04 pm

Nat - cu5/14 - what you do when you want to dance with someone who already has a dancing partner.

7:04 pm

Thanks, bean. I'll check it out.

7:05 pm

thanks!

cu5/14 thi nk dancing----if you want to dance with someone who already has a partner, you cu5/14

7:05 pm

Ah, Boxerjam Games. I think I'm a member there. Lord knows what my username and p/w are though!

7:06 pm

Hoooooraaaay! My first fireworks!

7:06 pm

There's a good word game on grab.com called Word Mojo. Not as easy as it seems...

yippeeeee Natasha

7:07 pm

WELL DONE, NATASHA!*~*~*~*~*~

7:08 pm

I've been editing, or trying to edit, my handwritten notes on my holiday in Crete back in July. I need to turn them into something less rambling for BabAnon.

that sounds lovely J

Jacula, can you recommend any sites which give equivalents of British and U.S. Standard measures? or of equivalent ingredients?

7:12 pm

one word to go! i've never seen such a small puzzle.

7:12 pm

Oh it was, metal. If you want to be transported to Africa though, go to BabAnon/Other Interests and read Haz's account of her time in Kenya. You can also read about Hurshy's Grand Tour and see lots of photos of Cybernan's European tour.

I"ll do that soon

7:14 pm

metal - re the conversion tables for recipes. There are lots of sites. We were talking a few days ago about making our own table for weights/measurements and even 'terms' on BabAnon recipe thread though.

7:14 pm

first fireworks ever! Sorry, gotta be proud of myself for a second.

7:14 pm

Have you got your last word yet, el?

7:15 pm

Oh, you have! WELL DONE!*~*~*~*~

that would be wonderful. one thing that puzzles me in some British recipes is ... the oven settings (not the Centigrade degrees, I can convert those)

CONGRATULATIONS elphaba!

BRB, have to feed the cat and maybe get some supper for myself as well. I'll be back soon. AFK

7:16 pm

lizb, are you on now?

7:17 pm

The icon theme (if you do it) for 7th Sept. is meant to be 'insect jewellery'. However, Babbler's away for a couple of days... and a few people earlier wanted to make 7th Sept. Steve Irwin day.

7:17 pm

thank you!

7:17 pm

hi all!

7:17 pm

As it's 1/17am here now, I'm changing to the Steve Irwin theme...

7:18 pm

hi franmag!!!

7:18 pm

hi Annie!

7:19 pm

Hi FranMag.

7:19 pm

hi jac!

7:19 pm

be back later

7:19 pm

be back later

7:20 pm

later annie!

7:20 pm

'Bye Annie.

7:21 pm

Oh gawd! It's like the blo*dy Waltons again here now. LOL.

7:21 pm

Bye Annie Hye all

7:21 pm

Hi Jacula

7:21 pm

Hi again Tiny. I've got my Steve Irwin icon and, yes, I did paint the fence panel and do the cooking.:)

7:22 pm

hi tiny!

7:22 pm

Did you finish the grid earlier, Tiny?

7:22 pm

hi fran, jac, tiny

7:23 pm

Hi Ping.

7:23 pm

hi ping!!

7:23 pm

Yes I finished and am glad to hear you finished the fence

7:24 pm

going to go look for my Steve Irwin icon, later!

7:25 pm

Tiny - only being a tiny person (5' 1" & a twiddle) I had to do the top parts (since top of panel was 8' high) with a brush taped to half a broom handle. It worked though! Couldn't use ladders or anything as ground is uneven there.

7:25 pm

Well done on finishing, Tiny.

7:26 pm

jac, i think i've always imagined you as tall

7:26 pm

Have you, Ping? Why?

7:27 pm

who knows... i never thought about it until just now

7:27 pm

Strange how our imaginations work, isn't it?

7:28 pm

And you succeded well that is good glad you did not use a ladder

7:29 pm

I mean, people, including myself go into crowded message logs etc., on the internet, and 'hear the noise etc. We 'see' the people and what they are doing. I've been told this time and time again by other net users and feel it myself. I don't think it's a bad thing. Also, if and when you do meet for real, the ice is already broken.

7:30 pm

I think we all get an image of people in our minds and we are usually wrong maybe one day we should do a personal icon so we can see what we look like

7:31 pm

One of my net friends, only 2 years' younger than you and me, Tiny, collapsed and died on her way to work last week. Her funeral is tomorrow. So many of her met and not yet met Net friends will be there, some in person and some in spirit.

7:32 pm

Tiny - we have had a person icon day before. However, some people are (understandably) cautious about putting their real face on the Net.

7:33 pm

*personal

7:33 pm

That is sad about your friend was she a babbler too.

7:33 pm

Yes but it is your choice to do or not

7:34 pm

Tiny - no, not a Babbler. She was from the Friends Reunited site.

7:34 pm

I don't mind putting my pic up, in fact, often do!

7:35 pm

I will pray for peace for you all toomorrow. I haven't yet

7:37 pm

I am totally stuck on the SO word, please, a clue...

7:37 pm

Thank you, Tiny. Mind you, what Marie wanted was for us all to raise our glasses and shout, 'Goodnight Marie' as they send her off.

7:38 pm

thiink about froth but use so

7:38 pm

Palmlady - so4/5 - think of the horror movies or the young people who like to dress all in black - go**. Change 1st letter.

7:39 pm

Hey Jac This is me on the bike I nearly purchased

7:39 pm

or a slow moving animal - L

7:39 pm

Not got it yet, Tiny. I'll try refreshing.

7:40 pm

hi vedeman

7:40 pm

Got it!

7:40 pm

heya

7:40 pm

That is my other half behind me

7:40 pm

Jacula = Thank you. Gave me fireworks two days in a row! Swear i tried that fourteen times earlier.

7:40 pm

just finished my nap, so I'll stay and clue for a bit before hopping on the bus

7:41 pm

**~~**~~**FIREWORKS**~~**~~** for PALMLADY

7:42 pm

yay palmlady!

7:42 pm

I will change back to my other icon now

7:42 pm

Got one like that of my ex bo-in-law all packed up on it to move to Porugal back in the 80s. Later, he went on to live and work in Romania where he won a Harley in a raffle!

7:43 pm

y/w, Palmlady. WELL DONE!

7:43 pm

Hi everyone! congrats tiny! me too! although that was hours ago...too many interruptions

7:43 pm

*bro-in-law

7:43 pm

whoo hoo Palmlady too!

7:44 pm

not for me I finished at 7:39 am

7:44 pm

i was almost awake at 7:39 am! LOL

7:44 pm

Hi all. YAY Palmlady! i am only sorta here, since the kids are home from school, but will be poking my head in occasionally...

7:45 pm

I finished at 6:02am according to the time on my 'last word' stats.

7:45 pm

Hi Stid. Kids! Who'd 'ave 'em? Eh?

7:45 pm

Hi Stid, how'd school go today for the kids?

7:45 pm

hi all, finished last night but thought i'd look up the meanings of some words while i have a cuppa. what are the chances that i will remember any of the meanings?

7:46 pm

Hi jg. You'll remember 3 out of 20 maybe?

7:46 pm

thanks, maybe i should only look up three!

7:46 pm

Jacula I loved that bike but the Doctor told me I am not allowed to ride at the moment so had to let it go

7:46 pm

Mind you, jg, the words will lodge in your mind somewhere, even if the meanings don't.

7:46 pm

I think it went well. Already the teen has forgotten to bring home the things we talked about (with the principal) he needs!

7:46 pm

Hi to all who have just come on

7:47 pm

No, jg. Look the lot up!

7:47 pm

thanks for asking lbd -- how did your day go?

7:47 pm

that's true, but if i want to use some of the words while playing traditional scrabble, it's nice to be able to justify what you are putting down.

7:47 pm

Tiny - that's a shame. Could you not have just garaged it for a while?

7:48 pm

jac. it would take me ages. havent got that time to spare!

7:48 pm

ahh, no major crises then! my day was wild and wooly, as it always is the first week of school

7:48 pm

No as I have no idea if and when I will get clearance as I have a heart problem

7:48 pm

True, jg!

7:48 pm

Oh, sorry to hear that Tiny.

7:49 pm

thats life you have to get on with it

7:49 pm

ibdawger, are you a teachr/

7:49 pm

hey Stidmama are we having the story today

7:50 pm

Yes, you do Tiny. It's far shorter than you think when you are 17. Sad, but true.

7:50 pm

jg, i'm an instructor, counselor, advisor...i work at a community college

7:50 pm

I've just been reading through BabAnon and realised that MTNJock has died.

7:51 pm

certainly demanding work

7:51 pm

Yes tell me about it I have a 22 year old who thinks life is one big joke and a 19 year old who wants to live life

7:51 pm

variety is the spice of life tiny

7:51 pm

It's a while since I've looked through everything in BabAnon. I'm so sorry about MTNJock.

7:51 pm

Dont know him Sorry

7:51 pm

most demanding is me keeping from wanting to throttle someone! lol just kidding. it's busy and keeps me off the streets.

7:52 pm

Tiny = my 2 kids are the same ages.

7:52 pm

And then there's my Other Half's girl who's coming up to 12 in December...

7:52 pm

True enough, the first couple of weeks here are "interesting" from the teachers' perspective -- we never start with a full week, and there are always some kids who come in the second week.

7:52 pm

ah so yg!ou all debrief by babblin

7:52 pm

teenagers...why some animals eat their young...;-) gotta love 'em otherwise it's 20 years to life.

7:53 pm

Stephen is 21 Katrina is 19

7:53 pm

Too right, lbd.

7:53 pm

what date in december

7:53 pm

Of course, I am not a teacher -- my mother and some of my friends are. I knew I wouldn't enjoy the bureaucracy...

7:54 pm

LOL stid

7:54 pm

though I love to teach small groups and have tutored off an on for many years.

7:54 pm

16th, Tiny. Why do you ask?

7:54 pm

January and June respectively

7:55 pm

I am an early retired teacher, primary. I just do some emergency work now. I loved teaching but it can be a nightmare depending on what little darlings come your way

7:55 pm

mine is 18th

7:55 pm

My son was 22 on 26th May and my daughter 19 on 26th March.

7:55 pm

Stid the bureacracy is maddening. I try to stay under the radar with that stuff, but my job doesn't always lend itself to that

7:55 pm

gee we have a lot in common

7:55 pm

My partner's birthday is 19th Jan.

7:56 pm

yes jg -- some years my mother (teaches first grade) has a couple of real "winners" - but mostly she enjoys her kids.

7:56 pm

stephen is 1/1 and Katrina 15/6

7:56 pm

My birthday is 22nd April, my ex-hubby (father of my kids) is 22nd March, and our family dog's birthday was 22nd Feb. LOL.

7:56 pm

both my sisters were teachers...both are retired...which is a bummer for me!

7:56 pm

Yes, lbd, I hear you! I am too timid to even contemplate it...

7:56 pm

stid, *chuckle out loud* it is rewarding

7:57 pm

mines is 10th Feb but our 29th anniversary is 20th January

7:57 pm

lbd -- they must be A LOT older than you! LOL

7:57 pm

i like junior high age kids...they are fun to laugh at!

7:57 pm

Tiny - my 30th wedding anniversary (had we reached it) would have been 5th March.

7:58 pm

Stid, not really, one is 6 years older than me and the other is only 2 years older. My fault, i moved around a lot so retirement isn't in my cards

7:58 pm

oh, junior high kids scare me. They run in packs and howl at the drop of a hat. Actually, anything over about 12 makes me uncomfortable -- in groups. Individually, they get interesting around 4th grade and just get more so!

7:58 pm

Stidmama - At my school we were either expect to become Wimbledon champions (as one of our lot had) or teachers. I just knew, that teachig wasn't for me.

7:58 pm

must go now, thanks for the chat. Am off to see my new cousin who was born 5 weeks prem

7:59 pm

jg, best of luck to the littlest member of your family

7:59 pm

her name is Amelia and is doing well despite being in this world a wee too early

7:59 pm

so Jac how was wimbledon? :-)

8:00 pm

Oh, yes, lbd. My mother is in a similar boat. Teachers 15 years younger than she is can retire because they have enough years in, but she spent 14 years out of the profession, and then taught in a parochial school for many years (no retirement to speak of) so has had to work longer to make her "20 year" minimum in the public schools.

8:00 pm

ahh, still, nothing like the smell of babies! they don't do much but sure can make adults into blathering idiots! lol

8:00 pm

congrats, jg, and best wishes to your new cousin and her parents!

8:00 pm

thanks all, bye.

8:01 pm

i figure i might be able to retire in another 20 years, i'll be 72 then.

8:01 pm

Wow! look at the time... must go turn off the sprinkler and get some more laundry folded. Back in an hour for story. :-)

8:02 pm

bye JG!

8:02 pm

Speaking of kids... I had a weird experience earlier when leaving our local shop.... As I came out there were a group of lads draped over and around the litter bin... they were somewhere between 10/12, I'd guess. I am 49. So, I was not expecting to hear one say, 'Nice arse!' and the others agree (and not in a sarcastic way). When I told my son on getting home, he fell about laughing and I didn't know whether to hit him or hug him! My Other Half just said, 'You should have told them, '"That's what my boyfriend thinks, too!") I thought it better to say nothing. I'm not a granny yet, but granny grabbers at 10/12? Flippin' 'eck!

8:02 pm

bye stidmama and jg

8:03 pm

LOL that would have made your day

8:03 pm

LOL Jac, but still a nice compliment!

8:04 pm

lbd - didn't know whether to laugh, blush or feel complimented. Wasn't offended! I decided it was a compliment in the end.

8:04 pm

I would be watching out if I were you they may and try and pick you up next

8:05 pm

LOL. Tiny! They'd have to take on my 6' 2" Trucker first!

8:06 pm

These days that probably wouldnt scare them LOL

8:06 pm

I need two c words from the c in the second column... I don't know what they are though... lol.

8:06 pm

after all youth of today are not backwards in coming forward

8:07 pm

Mind you, having said that... he was only 8-yrs-old when I got MARRIED!

8:07 pm

End of your sleeve is cu 4/12

8:07 pm

He's wondered since, as he used to holiday at the place in Wales where I worked, if he was was of the 'snotty little kids' I used to serve in the shop.

8:07 pm

OOeer!

8:08 pm

LOL

8:08 pm

Hi everyone,This evening groupe is always so nice and enjoyable!

8:08 pm

there are 5 cu 4's and 1cu 5

8:09 pm

Hi hodag welcome back

8:09 pm

8:09 pm

8:10 pm

Thanks Tiny

8:10 pm

cu + a thin metal

8:10 pm

if you slice open a pie you cu* ** to it

8:10 pm

thanks

8:11 pm

griff - cu5 is what you do when you want to dance with someone who already has a dancing partner.

8:11 pm

Mind you, that clue might be a bit dated now... they probably just amble up, grunt, punch, and then dance with?

8:11 pm

ahhh, so Jac you're a cradle robber! lol

8:12 pm

do they still dance with a partner?

8:12 pm

He's only 12 yrs' younger than me, lbd! Tee, hee, hee.

8:12 pm

8:14 pm

Babbling makes people warped. If they weren't warped before, they soon will be!:)

I think beech is overloaded with sugar now

8:16 pm

metaleather - I think so, re the posting recipes. You don't have to pay (yet) to be a member though, as a very generous member paid for us all a year up front.

**~~**~~**FIREWORKS**~~**~~** for owlathome and bech

8:26 pm

JACULA, can you help me with the tr 6/39 please.

8:26 pm

lbd - depends on when it occurs. If not, I'll catch up on BabAnon. Probably better anyway, since \I do tend to interrupt with clue-giving.

8:26 pm

owl - we are more than 'okay', we are BRILLIANT!

8:26 pm

lol Jac we all seem to do that.

8:27 pm

jac did you see my message at 8:24

jacs - i was trying to figure out how to use ezboard when i thought i read something that made me think the fee was so high beacuse it goes by unregistered hits

8:27 pm

Buttonman - tr6/39 & plural 7. t + r4/11 (Elizabethan collar type) + 2nd vowel.

e.g., the more unregistered users, the more we pay. which given how our fee jumped, makes sense.

8:29 pm

THanks, JACULA, got them both...I have one left...

8:29 pm

go buttonman

8:29 pm

Tiny - just scroled back and read it. Well, BabAnon was started for that at first. Then it evolvd into something where you share without blocking upi the chatlog on here.

8:29 pm

I need a clue for the tw 5/20 Please

8:29 pm

Excuse bad spelling, but it is 2.30am here!

8:30 pm

8:30 pm

8:59 pm

Ok..thanks pappou, but I have a question.

8:59 pm

think skinny thoughts TO

8:59 pm

oreo sandwiches sound pretty strange I thought an oreo was a biscuit

8:59 pm

PENNY!!!! how are you doing? How is school going?

8:59 pm

I must not understand something. Isn't the 5,14 telling me that the point value of the letters add up to 14?

8:59 pm

thank you!

8:59 pm

I stand corrected. Cu/14 like cu* ** line, but one word.

9:00 pm

isnt an oreo a sandwich on its own without adding bread into the equation

9:00 pm

Grid words ar not wanted in the chatlog. Just clues! Pleawelearn the art of subtelty until time is pressing and needs must!

9:00 pm

YAY liz!

9:00 pm

hi stidmama, sad tonight, one of my kinders from 5 years ago passed away this afternoon after a long battle with leukemia. She was 10

tiny: oreo ice cream sandwich - it's a good thing...

9:00 pm

Tiny, oreos here are chocolate cookies with a sweet creamy filling sandwiched inbetween.

9:00 pm

Jilll: words with 5 letters are double points; 6 letters are triple, etc

9:00 pm

*light bulb* thanks stidmama :)

9:01 pm

{{{Penny}}} I am so sorry. What a difficult thing!

9:01 pm

Pappa - one of my best friends also passed away at 10 with Leukemia. I thought it may not happen now!

*reflects upon chj's astute observation and its deeper meaning* well so it is!

I'll be back for the flip but right now it's TV time... gotta watch "Hustle"

9:01 pm

ooh must be close to story time...stid's here! brb, gotta grab my grapes

9:01 pm

9:01 pm

I got fireworks! Thanks for the help.

9:01 pm

LOL lbd!

Jeeze! I spent most of my adult life married to a Steve, so how could I not do a Steve Irwin day? Steve's are brave but not always wise. Mine, thankfully still is... I'd not like anything to happen to him, even though he is my 'ex'. We were friends befor and still are.

9:08 pm

Go Stid

9:08 pm

YAY! Fireworks! first time :)

9:08 pm

9:08 pm

Cathy stopped in quickly to see if there had been any news overnight on Esmeralda's condition. Then she walked swiftly toward the center of the village, rocking back and forth as she always did, like a boat on a choppy lake.

9:08 pm

YAY Jilll!

9:08 pm

Gilly laughed, thinking of the reception Cathy would receive -- and knowing that the doctor would be glad for the company, even if she didn't need much help.

Anna emerged from her short sleep, rested and ready, and took Sarah from Meg who had been trying to interest the baby in cold porridge with syrup.

9:22 pm

cold porridge is yuck

9:22 pm

Sarah immediately planted a sticky hand in her mother's hair... and bit her lightly on her cheek.

9:23 pm

Ava took the baby and sat in the rocker in the corner, and placed her gnarled finger on the new teeth. The baby nibbled happily on her great-grandmother's hand and calmed down.

9:26 pm

YAY Krista!

9:26 pm

Gilly immediately set about working on their portions of the dinner -- getting a roast in the oven, supervising the pies that the older girls were making, and chatting with Anna and Ava as they shelled peas and made a tangy sauce for the roast.

9:30 pm

Nan was a bit shy of all the workers, but they were warned ahead of time, and didn't crowd around her, but waited for her to come up with the water bucket before introducing themselves.

9:36 pm

Sebastian was on the back porch when they drove into the yard. He had a sullen look on his face, and even the sight of his grandfather didn't improve it.

9:39 pm

9:42 pm

Adam sat silently for a moment, then gruffly said, "You are so seldom in a pleasant mood. Makes it tough to be around you. Something on your mind you want to talk about?"

9:42 pm

**~~**~~** FIREWORKS **~~**~~** for JBP

9:42 pm

Goodnight Babblers. It's TiVo time for me.

9:42 pm

9:42 pm

Sebastian looked over his shoulder as Helena's voice wafted through the open window.

9:43 pm

good night relarion

9:43 pm

what's on relarion?

9:43 pm

"Maybe," he stood up, "but not here." He gestured toward the garden. "Mother told me to do some weeding. I could talk while I do that."

9:43 pm

good night relarion

9:44 pm

Adam followed the teen toward the garden, suddenly feeling the weight of all his years.

9:45 pm

He remembered when he was a teen, feeling that no one understood -- or could -- the true depths of his soul.

9:45 pm

nite all

9:45 pm

night bubba

9:45 pm

good night bubba

9:45 pm

He recollected the lessons he had learned, the hard way, and reflected on the way different people weathered the storm of adolescence.

9:45 pm

night, relation, night bubba

9:46 pm

*ahh, teenage angst*

9:46 pm

*relarion

9:46 pm

Sebastian was having more trouble than most, it seemed. He didn't want to share in others' joys; resented good things that came to others in fact.

9:46 pm

sheesh, another interruption -- chasing deer this time!

9:46 pm

poor boy

9:47 pm

Evening! Anybody want any clues?

9:47 pm

Jilli, quit chasing the deer! lol

9:47 pm

Hi Phan!

9:47 pm

jilli what did it do to you

9:47 pm

Even when the good things included him, Sebastian was not happy. He seemed to invite trouble... and Adam was determined to listen but not interfere.

9:47 pm

Hello

9:48 pm

Hi phandmd

9:48 pm

hi phan!

9:48 pm

Hi phan I think we are all listening to story time with stidmama

9:48 pm

9:49 pm

*fireworks* !!!!!

9:49 pm

The lesson of enjoying life was un-necessary (as in Nan's case), hard-won (as in his own), or never quite acquired -- as in his son Tor's case.

9:49 pm

YAY jafro!

9:49 pm

9:51 pm

He considered Tor, finally experiencing some success as a wagon driver for various teams; but never able to settle in one place or with one job. He drifted from team to team, town to town, coming home infrequently and staying for only a few days when he did.

9:52 pm

great jafro2, do it again, and again

9:52 pm

The corners of his mouth turned down as he thought of the many times harsh words had been said -- by both of them.

9:52 pm

well well done then Jafro2

9:52 pm

And he wished there were another way around the sorrow that he knew Helena, Peter -- and Sebastian -- would face.

9:53 pm

whispery firewords

9:53 pm

great, jafro! Isn't it fun to finish?

9:53 pm

Still, he put on a brave face when Sebastian turned to him. "Grampy? Am I selfish?"

9:53 pm

ping have youn just finished

9:53 pm

it's great, been playing everyday for almost two months

9:53 pm

YAY! shouty firewords for Ping!!

A light breeze was stirring the leaves on and Adam found a small stool he could sit on while they talked.

9:54 pm

okay, brain hurts, going to bed. Stid, i like your stories. it's fun to read while babbling

9:54 pm

bravo Ping!

9:55 pm

"Well," he began, "I suppose everyone is selfish sometimes, Sebastian. What do you really want to know?"

9:55 pm

good night jafro, sweet dreams (and thanks!)

9:55 pm

good night jafro2

9:55 pm

9:56 pm

9:56 pm

harpjane t+5/24

9:56 pm

"I mean, why don't people *like* me?"

9:56 pm

9:57 pm

Adam had to think about this one. It seemed so obvious, but it wasn't so clear.

9:57 pm

tr 6 like the fungus the pigs like to snuffle out, drop the l

9:57 pm

I ate a chocolate one today, no pigs in sight! thanks

9:57 pm

Nan's voice came from the porch, "Grampy, Aunt Helena would like us to carry some extra vegetables home when we leave."

9:58 pm

yummm Harp!

9:58 pm

Adam raised his hand in acknowledgement, and turned to Sebastian. Now was not the time to mince words.

9:59 pm

"Sebastian, you have a lot of very good qualities. You are smart with machines, a good speaker and a good writer. I think once your voice settles down and you stop growing you'll have a fine singing voice and be a handsome man."

9:59 pm

ergh, it's time for me to become a turnip...night night dearies. i'll catch up in babanon...

9:59 pm

good night lbd!

9:59 pm

good night lbdawger

9:59 pm

Sebastian's face relaxed a bit at the compliments.

10:01 pm

"And that isn't enough to _make_ people like you. There are other things, like being helpful without being asked; or willingly accepting responsibility for the outcome of things you do; and the hardest one of all: you have to like others first."

10:01 pm

The boy's face fell, and he turned back to the weeds. He was working quickly, and most of the first row was already done.

10:02 pm

"You should know this, Sebastian, because even your family, who will love you no matter what, need to have reasons to _like_ you."

10:03 pm

poor boy I feel for sebastion

10:03 pm

"AND," Adam continued, over a whine Sebastian uttered, "they have many reasons already to like you."

10:03 pm

"You have helped your mother and father many times when a workman hasn't been available for planting and harvest."

10:04 pm

"You have helped your sister when she has been hurt and needed someone to lean on to get home."

10:04 pm

hey all

10:04 pm

the fu word?

10:05 pm

"You have helped your brother gentle horses and fix machinery that was essential."

10:05 pm

Good evening all! :D

10:05 pm

Adam looked at his grandson, "You can be very helpful and loving -- when it suits you."

10:05 pm

like the fr 8 withouth the t and the r

10:05 pm

take out the r & t from the 8

10:05 pm

I'm pumped and ready for next tray

10:06 pm

Leviathon, have you had enough sleep now?

10:06 pm

"But consider this: how would you feel if your mother cooked meals only when she really felt like it? Or your father planted and harvested on his schedule instead of the land's?"

10:06 pm

lbd, if you're still here - good night, and thanks for your concern - I keep getting interrupted (like Saint Stid)!

10:06 pm

hello Leviathon, nice to see you again.

10:06 pm

co's both of them

10:06 pm

hi leviathon and dmgdiane

10:06 pm

10:06 pm

Sebastian looked up in amazement as his weeding brought him close to his grandfather again.

10:06 pm

hey levi glad to see you back show off :)

10:07 pm

thanks, tiny!!

10:07 pm

sorry about the out-of-date icon

10:07 pm

Has Nef been on today?

10:07 pm

To those who don't know levi finished this grid in 20 min last night

10:07 pm

"You mean," he asked in disbelief, "that Mother and Father don't always LIKE taking care of things?"

10:07 pm

Show off?! :O

10:07 pm

ugh!!!!

10:07 pm

Obviously, this was a new idea... and one that made it through his adolescent armor.

10:07 pm

Well it wasn't that hard..

10:08 pm

okay levi how about giving me a couple of clues I need both the Co's

10:08 pm

Adam patted him on the shoulder, "My boy, they do it because they love you, not because it is fun."

10:08 pm

Hence all of the 4 letters - they're easy to spot right off the bat.

10:08 pm

I have 17 left, listless, thanks to great clues -- keep 'em coming!

10:09 pm

ok first co : co + "Hey hold on a ***"

10:09 pm

"Now I must head for home, fetching and carrying as your mother and my wife bid." He winked.

10:09 pm

10:09 pm

First time I've ever finished!

10:09 pm

hey what about me??? I need co's please

10:09 pm

Got it?

10:09 pm

"Just between you and me, I'd rather sit on the bank of the river and fish today... but let's keep that our little secret, and we'll slip off soon and have a day of it."

10:09 pm

Kah, I gave you a clue to one

10:10 pm

Sebastian looked gratefully at his grandfather, and nodded.

10:10 pm

ty levi I missed it

10:10 pm

Kahlua ok first co : co + "Hey hold on a ***"

10:10 pm

Adam smiled gently and said, "We'll talk again."

10:10 pm

s'okay, I'm determined to be listless for a bit so I dunno. I have that co, levi -- it's just that I've been incommunicado since yesterday because of a failed monitor and am just back this eve.

10:11 pm

Oh my gosh Tiny, that is exactly what I said

10:11 pm

10:11 pm

**I think that's enough for tonight.**

Levi - here on SSI we just lost two treasures from Winnipeg who ran our ArtSpring programmes and have just been stolen by West Vancouver.

10:15 pm

Thanks - got it. I had never heard of that b4.

10:16 pm

Ohh, shoot. Never heard of ArtSpring before...

10:16 pm

great wisedoggy

10:16 pm

Wisedoggy - that's French for the expensive things pigs dig up out of the ground

10:16 pm

However, I'm sorry to hear.

10:17 pm

I just thought the was an L in there. But also wondered why those delicious round chocolates are of the same name.

10:18 pm

normally there is an L in that word but we are on babble and it has its own words

10:18 pm

ArtSpring is a cultural centre on Salt Spring Island which has attracted world famous performers as well as being a showcase for artists and photographers par excellence

10:19 pm

Oh, so its like a museum of world famous paintings?

10:19 pm

Tiny - that tr is a perfectly legit French word you might encounter is an upscale restaurant

10:19 pm

wheee, fireworks... 8=)

10:19 pm

well done misu

10:19 pm

"babble has its own words" Is that really true? All words cannot be found in Merriam Webster's? I mean sometime I really do wonder with this game. :-)

10:20 pm

**~~**~~** FIREWORKS **~~**~~** for Misu

10:20 pm

Or a gallery or something?

10:20 pm

I dont really know but I have had some really strange ones on here never heard of before

10:20 pm

No, Levi, not a museum - a lively place for musicians, comedians -- arrgh, never mind

10:21 pm

Wise - These words are not made up. Some are french and spanish bilingual words that are used commonly through the english language

10:21 pm

Such as "nada"

10:21 pm

10:22 pm

Is this the lowest number of words appearing in any puzzle that you all have seen? This is the lowest I have seen. It might have been be attainable for me tonight, if I weren't glued to Scott Smith's The Ruins. (A recommended page turner!!)

10:22 pm

10:23 pm

Good Evening, all -- fireworks -- a new record of 22 minutes

I think the chatlog gets a bit slow now and then

11:09 pm

yep. we fall into our thoughts....

11:09 pm

the un-new castoff monitor is the pits, thank you very much! I have the wrong resolution, I guess, because the babble screen is too big and I have to slide it around to get it all in. I'm not sure how to change the resolution.

11:09 pm

we are on the countdown now only 51 to go

11:09 pm

Hi, can anyone give me a clue for the az 5/22?

Jilli, have you tried going into My Computer, then to Display?

11:11 pm

thanks jillibus!

11:11 pm

Jill, with none of the windows open, right click with your mouse on the background (the desktop). A little screen will pop up. Click on tabs until you find the one that lets you choose resolution...
