I had a computer job to do at the library while it was closed, and doing deletions screwed up and deleted 713 books I shouldn't have, wiping out 3 hours of work and causing a lot of kerfuffle

12:10 am

ARB... mosquito/insect repellant

1:50 am

pass the fish

*slips ARB some lox

1:51 am

with a bagel, if you please

but of course, sesame or onion?

1:52 am

*adds some lemon and black pepper*

1:52 am

mixed

1:52 am

the whole shmeer

then we have to have abit of horseradish and some diced cucumber

1:53 am

I repeat, the whole shmeer!

1:53 am

yum!

with maybe a bit of cream cheese?

or sour cream

1:54 am

Fran, you live in Hawaii don't you?

1:54 am

enough, you are all making me drool.

1:54 am

yes mkl

me too ARB and all I have to snack on is hard boiled eggs

1:54 am

Just heard about the earthquake on tv. We were at bowling all evening. Everything ok?

1:55 am

ARB, what does shmeer mean? *grabs pen to add new word to list*

1:55 am

yes mkl, our power was out until late afternoon and cable is still out, but that was the worst for us.

1:56 am

it was closer to the big island so they got the worst of it.

oh, one more garnish... well, two more... fresh dill, and tomato

1:56 am

Did you enjoy the quake, or did it freak you out? I've been in several, living in Alaska

1:56 am

ml!! enough!

1:56 am

Ok.

1:57 am

It's Yiddish, fro old German. To schmeer is to spread -- like to spread butter on bread. The whole shmeer is an expression for everything. Also used as an expression for bribery or false compliments -- He shmeered him with money or He shmeered him with a lot of pretty words.

1:57 am

am eating a chocolate and orange muffin. is that better, fran :P

1:57 am

mkl, i went through the 8.1 that hit Guam in the early nineties, so this was nothing!!

1:57 am

thanks ARB!

:o) can I help it if I'm a frustrated gastronome living with a man who eats only hamburger meat in various forms with the occasional canned veggie

1:57 am

mkl, that enough was for metaleather!

mkl!! LOL fran wasn't saying enough to you!!

1:58 am

Aha.

1:58 am

mkl, i grew up in Guam, we had small tremors daily, so i'm used to them

1:58 am

of course that 8.1 was really, really scary, never want to do that again.

1:59 am

I'm only gonna ask for one clue tonight. Anyone get the ph7's?

1:59 am

and now Hobbit's just eaten the muffin paper case *sigh*

1:59 am

Can't imagine an 8.1

1:59 am

you don't want to go through one, trust me!

2:00 am

Ph + E5/10 is one

2:00 am

i have one ph7, phosph**us + past tense of eat

2:00 am

I was in California for the one that happened during the world series. Don't remember the strength. Think it was in the low 7's

2:00 am

And that was the other one :) Nice clue, Fran

2:00 am

cool, thanks sprite, that was the one i didn't have!

2:01 am

Btw, I believe this is the 4th day in a row that we have russian royalty present.

2:01 am

Guam has like the most strict building code ever, there wasn't that much damage considering the force of the quake.

2:02 am

excellent clue Fran. Thanks

2:02 am

Nice to be able to say thanks again.

2:02 am

and clue :)

2:02 am

there was one new hotel being constructed that didn't follow the code to the letter and it collapsed. luckily, it wasn't open yet.

2:03 am

yw mkl!

2:03 am

done mkl?

2:03 am

Sprite, gotta believe your clue was excellent too. I just don't have the e5 yet

2:04 am

mkl: Ph + first 2 letters of our beloved dictionary + past tense of taking food.

2:04 am

Just found the en5,10 and yes Sprites clue was superb

2:04 am

lol

2:05 am

Not quite done. 7 more to go.

2:05 am

2:08 am

2:09 am

TY

2:09 am

And mkl, it rhymes with 'harassed'

2:09 am

2:09 am

i can't stop seeing them

2:10 am

Hi all

2:10 am

Actually, I wanted to finish this one without any help. Once I caved and asked for those ph7s, I figured, what the he**

2:10 am

hi Angb

2:10 am

hello angb

2:10 am

yay! i just found the he8 and 9!!

2:10 am

So... anything else I can help with?

2:10 am

hi angb!

2:10 am

wtg Fran!

2:10 am

Seriously, one more question. ep8 and de8?

2:11 am

ti 5/10? - my last one and I have a feeling I'll need another fish

2:11 am

i was going to ask for a clue and then changed my mind...and there they were!

2:11 am

A phrase for this grid - so close but yet so far ....

2:11 am

arb, a giant of greek mythology

12 to go, i'm closing in on the finish line

2:11 am

Cool word huh? Once you find the he6, the rest just follows

2:11 am

lol angb!

2:12 am

ty Fran. Fireworks

2:12 am

yep mkl, that's how it happened!

2:12 am

yay arb!!!!

yayyy ARB

2:12 am

gooooo ml!!

wtg ARB

2:12 am

Ep8 builds on the Ep5/14, one of a body of magistrates in various ancient Dorian states, esp. at Sparta, where a body of five was elected annually by the people.

2:13 am

De8: what makes you late

2:13 am

I'm babble-ised. I knew the exact word from Sprite's clue without looking at the grid

2:13 am

WOW Sprite. I don't even know where to begin

2:13 am

Yeah ARB!

2:14 am

sweet grid -- good size, not esoteric. Fun today, not sweat work

2:14 am

mkl: E + ph7/36 (the 2nd)

2:14 am

Thanks Sprite.

2:15 am

de 6/24?

2:15 am

Sort of makes the ep5 a tad easier

2:15 am

de 6/24 remove the appendage from a steer

2:16 am

ty ARB--tho it seems a rather silly word

2:16 am

thanks arb! what a dumb word!

2:16 am

One more clue for the de8?

2:17 am

mkl, one who keeps you from something

2:17 am

add a suffix to the de 6/21 -- the person who...

2:17 am

builds on the de6/21

2:17 am

I am off, have a great day/night/whatever all of you and happy hunting and hinting!

2:17 am

bye sprite!!

UNO!

2:40 am

gooooo mrp!

2:40 am

Putrid mrp

help please with the fe5/20?

2:42 am

It's the family argument with an extra vowel

2:42 am

Take the family fight and add a vowel before the last letter

fe5/20 use the argument, and add the second vowel

2:42 am

Which makes it look like a fiery french past tense

thanks! done

2:43 am

i had forgotten about that word, found it after mrp gave the stats.

yayyy MrP

2:43 am

4:17 am

ra 5/20 -- what you use to shave

4:18 am

ra 5/20 -- double the vowel of the ra 4/9 and then make it past tense

4:19 am

is haz still here?

4:20 am

She went a while ago Ata

4:20 am

tr 5/10 insignificant, ta 4/4 t + present plural form of to be

5:35 am

Thanks for the update - nice to know that all is normal in her 'world'

5:35 am

Hi Haz, I'd like to say I had gone and come back too but have been loitering too much this morning.

5:35 am

oh Haz! friend's pup survived and is bouncing around at home with one leg screwed back together again and lots of stitches everywhere

5:35 am

That's good to hear Atalante - and FMitch, I hope you are heartily ashamed of yourself....

5:36 am

Are there any clues for the za5/20 please? Just cannot get it.

5:36 am

Think of an African country, Ex-Wren

5:36 am

but, but, but Haz I worked most of the weekend :(

5:37 am

ExWren - Christmas decorations already - you've beaten the stores here!

5:37 am

Oh yes, I turned right at the top instead of left - duh

5:37 am

But me no buts! You're excused! Just as well we are forgiving.

5:37 am

LOL

5:39 am

And it is a nice grid today. And it is pleasant company.

5:40 am

It's a great grid today - it's only double figures for a change!!!!!!!!!!!

5:40 am

I can't tell you what a relief it was this morning to see the words total.

5:41 am

are the ep's all linked together?

5:43 am

gone on WurdyGurl - tell us how many ep's there are (so I can go looking). Hello too!

5:44 am

hey lynxx there are three one is ep 5/14 (got it - the beginning of extremem happiness) the others are 8/50 and 6/24

5:45 am

The ep8 is an extension of the ep5/12.

5:46 am

TY both

5:46 am

Ane the ep6 adds a vowel to the ep5

5:50 am

oh no, I've nearly finished ... that means I have to work soon

5:51 am

J u s t t y p e i n y o u r w o r d s v e r y s l o w l y.

5:51 am

I'm trying :)

5:51 am

haz having trouble with that ep 8 - does it use all letters of the ep 5?

5:52 am

I have Rs left anyway, they always take ages

5:52 am

It does, just add three letters 'comsumed food'

5:52 am

Haz - is that usually spelt with a U? or an alternative spelling perhaps

5:52 am

bless you haz - you are awesme

5:53 am

ep5/14 - ep plus the start of an equine.

5:53 am

You're welcome wurdy.

5:56 am

Off I go again. Back later.

5:56 am

bye Haz

5:56 am

7:14 am

ir4/5 - Begins like a flower or eye part, ends in a different consonant.

7:14 am

naughty girl, staying up til all hours, I told you to go to bed!

7:16 am

We're off on a week's holiday in The Cotswolds next week. No computer, so I'll catch up on my reading.:)

7:16 am

ExWren. LOL.

I have angry and almost eye - what's the other I?

7:17 am

ExWren, I hope most of the wishes for todays theme, agree with us........

7:17 am

in plus President Reagan's first name (beginning of)

7:17 am

babblet: in + **w your boat

7:17 am

We are going north east on Friday - long weekend in Southport, then four days in Blackpool

7:17 am

matty - in4/4 - sounds like it's queueing up.

Thankee sai

7:17 am

ExWren - Will the illuminations be on?

7:19 am

Yes, we will see the lights. What part of the Cotswolds are you going to, I used to live in Woodstock, which is on the outskirts

I have three of the six 7s - I have two x ph7/36 and 1 x tr7/28 - what am I missing, please and thank you?

7:19 am

kay, guess i should get up

7:20 am

matty I have a de7

7:20 am

de6/24 - what my poor husband has to do sometimes, de6/21,ai6/21 - past tense of ai4/4

7:20 am

Wren - South Cerney, Cirencester.

7:21 am

Forget it all - you're looking for 7's rather than sixes.

7:21 am

can i get a clue for the ph 7's please?

7:21 am

Hmm, don't know that area at all

7:21 am

de 7 = de + tr 5/10

7:21 am

rate

7:21 am

sorry

7:22 am

de7/32, ta7/32

Thanks Kate! that de6/24 is eluding me...

7:22 am

Wren - We are renting a chalet owned by friends. It should be a good base to explore from.

7:22 am

de6/24 - remove unnecessary growth from cattle head.

7:22 am

de6/24 - to remove an antler

7:23 am

matty - de6/24 - to de-armour an animal?

Haz....please explain how your husband has to de6/24 - ? Under what circumstances...?

Thanks for that DE!

7:24 am

Calves are normally disbudded, but some farmers allow the ho4/5 to grow. The cattle cannot be sold or moved with ho4/5 so they have to be removed. It is a ghastly business!

Oooh! I had a less savoury view in mind...

7:25 am

lol matty

7:25 am

It must be very painful for the cattle, haz

7:25 am

matty matty ;-)

7:25 am

No, they have an anaesthetic injected so they feel nothing. The vet is the one in pain!

7:26 am

I'm sure she wouldn't want to de6 her husband ;)

7:26 am

Why so haz? Is it a very difficult surgery?

Maybe just on occasion...

7:27 am

It's not difficult, but it requires brute force.

7:27 am

oh, I see. Yikes.

7:28 am

anybody has ep 6/24?

Like very, very happy but minus the final C

7:29 am

ty matty

7:31 am

7:42 am

I have a pr4 after it, it's what I call my husband when he does something stupid

7:43 am

p+vermin (?)

7:43 am

the ph 4th vowel

7:43 am

but that got me the other - thanks enomis!

7:44 am

me too - TY enomis

7:44 am

last pr 4/5?

7:45 am

the other pr 4 after pr 7 is pr plus 2 vowels

7:45 am

7:45 am

the last is reverse of the one I just clued (reverse the vowels) pr 4 that is.

7:45 am

done with the ps, ty

8:01 am

fe 5/18 - past of party

8:01 am

Aren't they all fe?

8:01 am

fe5/18 - bad air

8:01 am

i have those two

8:01 am

fe5/20 - past of fight

8:02 am

yes they are inge

8:02 am

I'm the same as kthdsn - are the f's all fe start?

8:02 am

yes lynxxx

8:03 am

ah got it, that's an odd looking word

8:03 am

TY - the weird past tense fight was my missing one

8:03 am

sorry last fe is fe + 5th vowel + past tense

8:03 am

fe4/7 - greek cheese. fe4/9 = a long running argument. fe5/20 = add another vowel before the final consonant to the argument.

8:03 am

snap kthdsn

8:04 am

anything else kthdsn?

8:04 am

good monday to everyone

8:04 am

stuck on an O

8:04 am

8:10 am

too funny

8:10 am

shorty, you were being looked for by Smiley last night

8:10 am

I use to have dachsies when I was little then got married and couldn't afford them LOL

8:10 am

diet

8:10 am

Oh really

8:11 am

oooops, sorry

8:11 am

Mine were named Heidi and Pepper

8:11 am

scrabbler, just a reminder to myself only

8:11 am

They are quite cute! Are they little rascals?

8:11 am

they sooooo cute

8:12 am

and there is also an INGA in the rankings, never saw her playing though. Now the Detroit Tigers even have an Inge, but they totally mispronounce it

8:12 am

Scrabbler, you bet!!! Quite the personalities..

8:12 am

LOL inge

8:12 am

I have rabbits, inlcuding a tiny 2 lb Netherland dwarf that sleeps with me. He is such a baby--stays next to me most of the night.

8:15 am

8:16 am

Bye all, have fun!

8:16 am

8:17 am

8:17 am

Quake in hawaii

8:17 am

8:17 am

8:18 am

bbrrrrr

8:18 am

8:18 am

where are you scrabbler?

8:18 am

oh wow

8:18 am

Same here --in wstern NY state

8:18 am

where are you annie?

8:19 am

I am 35 mi south of Buffalo--still 270, 000 people without power. Darn, I can't go to work today.

8:19 am

Im in Brooklyn, NY

8:19 am

because of the snow scrabbler?

8:19 am

I have a med school friend from Sheepshead Bay

8:19 am

you did not use to get snow that early, no?

8:20 am

I heard it may be a week before the Buffalo folk get power back. (Have friends up there)

8:20 am

how is brooklyn today?

8:20 am

Big storm hit here Oct 12-13. 2 ft of wet heavy snow, on trees with leaves still---> fallen trees everywhere, no power. A huge mess. Look at pics on www.wgrz.com

8:21 am

Scrabbler, I live very close to Sheepshead Bay

8:21 am

wow a week without power with the snow... i feel for them

8:21 am

Eno, It is beautiful here, sunny, crisp, a lovely fall day

8:21 am

Scrabbler, no power, how awful...

8:22 am

This is unusual to have this much snow so early. Most of it has melted so now--->flooding, and people's sump pumps can't work, so basements are full of water. I am fine here and have 4 people staying with me

8:22 am

ok happy babbling!

8:22 am

i'm cuddled up to my space heater today...

8:22 am

8:22 am

Space heater---mmmmmmmm

10:49 am

Fireworks

10:49 am

WTG floesy!!

10:49 am

10:49 am

YAY floesy

10:49 am

love vox

10:49 am

can't believe I made it on this slow computer - and with wrong glasses !! visiting son

10:50 am

stid, do you think the babblets page is useable?

10:50 am

that was probably it then.

10:50 am

thanks stid - now need some linament on strained neck

Angel, where is the link on the main page for the Babblets?

10:51 am

I think it is useable, it looks a bit strange (the left bar creeps over the text a bit).

10:51 am

ouchie, floesy, take good care! *sitting on warm pillow to ease own back pain*

10:51 am

bunny, it's in the drop down menu, top left corner of the main page.

10:51 am

ah, what we put up with to babble

10:52 am

any clues needed?

10:52 am

I think you maybe dropped a tag somewhere, angelsong. Shouldn't be too hard to find when you have time, but I don't think it's urgent

hi everyone! i was wondering if anyone has seen movieman or boreetos?

10:52 am

floesy, I am stuck on the de 6/24 right after the mosquito repellant

10:53 am

I haven't seen boreetos in a very long time, TO --

10:53 am

neither have i

that's what i was thinking. movie man either.

OK, found it, didn't even know that little thing was up there :)

10:54 am

true. I hope they are okay...

well bye again! have fun!

10:55 am

bye TO!

I was wondering about boreetos the other day, and a few others. Smithchick, Lupe...

i saw smithrecently

10:56 am

yes. But my own schedule has varied over the last couple months so I just figured I was missing folks...

True, I've been catching Ren in the evenings instead of day. I guess we all can't be as equally obsessive about Babble.

10:57 am

haven't seen bbnaz in ages...

Can someone push me in the direction of or 6/18?

10:59 am

elaborate, bunny

11:00 am

11:00 am

and or**** frames!

11:01 am

okay, I officially hate anagrams. *crosses arms and pouts*

11:02 am

Can someone please help with my very last one? The fe5/20?

11:17 am

11:17 am

caitlyn, I really love the pretty fairy in your icon.

11:18 am

I'm just busy counselling a friend who has Boss Problems!

11:18 am

11:18 am

Thank you stid

11:18 am

bosses stink!

11:18 am

hmm, should i be concerned? my computer clock used to be the same as the babble clock, and now it is a minute behind

11:19 am

this one certainly does! my friend's grandmother died and he refused to give her time off to go to the funeral!

11:19 am

looks nice! Would sure make story installments easier if I weren't hard-coding them directly to the site...

11:19 am

good grief, why?

11:19 am

Thats terrible Ata

11:20 am

Oh my I am so proud I just got the 9 all by my self.

11:20 am

oh oh! did you watch "back to the future" this weekend? maybe you drove too fast in your car?

11:20 am

cos he's a bastard!

11:20 am

woo-hoo Lara! way to go!

11:20 am

(she went anyway, of course!)

I don't think I'd wanna work for someone like that.

11:20 am

Thanks

11:20 am

Atalante, that's awful! don't they have laws over there for bereavement leave?

11:21 am

yup! allowed 3 days off - *at boss's premission*

My water broke at work with my first child and they wanted to know if I could stick it our for another hour or two til he could find someone to come in.

11:22 am

work's a wonderful place, isn't it?!

11:22 am

Oh bunny!!!Did you stay?

11:22 am

what a stupid boss, bunny!

For some reason, I stuck it out for about another thirty, pain got to bad after that.

11:23 am

I hope your boss gave you some flowers after

11:23 am

Crimson Editor is a workhorse, Stid, and it's free. I use it constantly.

11:24 am

well, I think I need to get some laundry started and all. Hope your friend will be okay with her job, Atalante. *hoping for boss to get mono and spend 12 weeks in bed* bunny, you are stronger than I was, I took off work 6 weeks before our first was born!

11:24 am

thanks angelsong! I found the website, will explore it and download it as soon as I can!

I never went back, he wanted me to take one week for maternity on vacation pay, then come back. It was a restaraunt job, they're a dime a dozen. I did get a thank you though!

11:24 am

later all!

11:24 am

byeee!

Bye Stid

11:25 am

Bye stid

11:25 am

i am irked.

Why?

11:25 am

Why hurshy?

11:26 am

well i used to look and see if things had partially hydrogenated fats and not buy them. then they made them put a label about trans fat, and so i just look at that and buy if it says zero

11:26 am

but apparently the FDA has not heard of fractions, because apparently zero is not really zero, it's just less than one.

Is less than 1% enough to hurt anything?

11:26 am

so here i am munching away at gingersnaps which do in fact have trans fats in them. back to checking ingredients.

11:27 am

if 4 gingersnaps have half a gram each, and i eat half a box, then it becomes enough.

11:27 am

ep8 anyone?

My husband said that the they are making it illegal to put trans fats in restaraunt food in NY City, but he jerks my leg a lot so....

11:28 am

and i have several products with the same situation, if i eat a bunch of them in a day...

Schmoo, if you have the ep 5/14 before it, add a word for consume

11:28 am

well the more they crack down on trans fats the better. apparently the health effects are like with cigarettes - absolutely awful long term.

11:29 am

ty bunny

ep8 - ep 5/14 + someone who already had dinner

11:29 am

ep 5/14 + i just *** dinner

Really? I don't know much on the subject to be honest. Think I'll look into it more, cooking for 7. I thought it was really just a diet to lose weight issue.

11:30 am

need ep5/14

11:30 am

yeah the deal is that they do all the bad things fats do, and none of the good things.

11:30 am

ep+prostitute

11:31 am

nm found it

They aren't natural then? In processed foods only?

11:31 am

right.

11:32 am

cookies, crackers, those are big culprits.

11:32 am

i have a book called "trans fat solution" which is a good read, and has transfat free recipes

grr, I like crackers... I make most of my own desserts, never buy store bought, but I suppose some of the ingredients would have them as well.

11:33 am

there are one or two types of crackers that have no trans fat. just check the label for the words "partially hydrogenated", don't believe the trans fat 0 part.

As an afterthought, if I lay off the crackers, my rear end may shrink some.

11:34 am

how many a words?

11:34 am

for ingredients, shortening and margarine should be looked out for.

99

11:34 am

4 a words

11:34 am

butter, of course, being natural, has none, though it still has your saturated fat.

11:34 am

thank you

11:34 am

or6/18

oops, didn't see the a in there

11:35 am

highly decorated, perhaps gaudy, shmoo

Schmoo, add another cons to the or 5/10 - decorative

11:35 am

ty

11:35 am

lol bunny

11:36 am

99 words, and every last one of 'em starts with A...

I better go get my running done, come back for the FIVE I have left later... That would have made me right, which happens rarely, lol.

11:37 am

I am still recovering from a wedding on Saturday !!!Then alll the family decided to have lunch yesterday

11:37 am

Bye bunny

11:37 am

4:43 pm

a little bit of rain this morning, clearing now.

4:47 pm

hi all -- just popping in for a bit. I saw there have been tornado warnings in the mid-section of the US. Guessing not in texas ren?

4:47 pm

4:49 pm

4 people have died today from the flood waters

4:49 pm

4:50 pm

Hi folks--I finished this AM, but I am stopping in to chat. Ren--that is awful!

4:53 pm

4:53 pm

Hi teaNCrackers

4:53 pm

I just checked the weather info on cnn.com---lots of tornados and rain.

of course!, but Crackers has a pedi appt. in 1/2 hour, so not happenin'

Hi Bitt

4:53 pm

I'm glad you like Crimson Editor, Stid!!!

4:53 pm

Still no power here in western NY for >200K people, including my sister and my parents and my office.

4:53 pm

4:54 pm

TeaNCrackers, your baby is gorgeous.

Thanks, Bitt, but he

4:54 pm

that's bad 2 scrabbler! hope you guys stay ok!

4:54 pm

wow. really stuck -- has the snow pretty well melted by now (I know it's supposed to rain tomorrow). Did you have to stay home today?

4:54 pm

ahhh ty!

'he's not mine - just some random icon I found - wishing for baby sleep.

4:54 pm

Your baby is very cute, Tea!

4:55 pm

LOL

4:55 pm

unfortunately, Tea's real baby never holds still long enough for a photo...

ok, the real Tea and Crackers are in the icon now.

4:56 pm

Can anyone please tell me the total points today?

yes, stid - 15 month shots

4:56 pm

Yes, Stid, snow has melted--temp in the 50's today (warmer outside than inside for people without power). My office was closed today. I will go in at 7:30 AM to scout out the situation and maybe see some kids in rooms with windows. The 1-2 wk old babies are the ones that shouldn't wait.

4:57 pm

1246 points

4:57 pm

I used to put ora-gel (teething gel) on the injection site before shots. Seemed to help...

4:57 pm

Thanks, Scrabbler. Very cute, TeaNCr!

4:57 pm

total points are 1246

Anyone care to hear how they became Tea and Crackers?

4:57 pm

hey ren...im sending over the pirate ship to pick you up

4:57 pm

entertain us, TEa!

4:58 pm

hooray for the pirate rescuers!!!! :-)

4:58 pm

Yes--share the story!

4:58 pm

hi stid, chj,

4:58 pm

tn

4:58 pm

hi pida

4:58 pm

hi everyone, how's it going?

Tea's name is Kemma - that was my hubby's grandmother's name. Kemma's godfather is a very strait laced gentleman and when we told him what we were naming Kemma when she found out she was girl, his first response was like the tea?

4:59 pm

hi Natasha, I was so grateful for an easy grid today!

4:59 pm

me too, the last few were brutal

We all paused and then he explained - Chammomile tea - get it, Kemma meal tea. The man never cracks jokes, so that was as good as they get from him. He gave me a box of Chammomile tea for my baby shower.

5:00 pm

unusual and pretty name!

5:00 pm

How old is Kemma now?

Cracker's name is Graham. Pretty self explanatory on that nickname, but it fit right in with Kemma's, so it stuck.

Kemma turned 3 in August, and Graham turned 1 in July.

5:01 pm

wow--how do you have time to babble, sounds like a lot of energy in your house?

5:01 pm

Perfect! Oh, what fun to have names like that.

Graham is named after my grandfather, and is the 12th child in that family to have that name in one form or another.

5:01 pm

or maybe I'm just remembering when my twins were 3...

Tons of energy here, but usually I am at the computer when Graham is sleeping in my lap and Kemma is playing, or late at night, after they are in bed.

5:02 pm

I guess you take the breaks when you can, huh?

Plus, hubby works nights, so he is up with us in the morning, and I try to get some computer time in then, too. They are both really good at playing together and if I have to get up to handle them, I will.

5:04 pm

Sounds absolutely exhausting.

5:04 pm

hope you didn't take that as a criticism, tea...just a bit of wonderment regarding the demands of young kids

5:07 pm

I used to use the computer as my access point for adult interaction when my kids were little -- of course that was a decade ago and things have changed a bit online since then! Still, it was nice to have anything to do that wasn't bunny or car related.

5:08 pm

lol, stid!

5:08 pm

The pleasures of having them outweigh stress of pyjama parade, teething, earache etc.:)

5:09 pm

Oh, I agree Bittong. My twins are 7 now and it is so fun to have conversations with them about everything they are learning.

not at all offended - just had to take a potty break - we are learning! and we're off to the doctor. if I didn't get time on the 'puter during the day I would go batty!

5:09 pm

Hi everyone

5:09 pm

hi muse!

5:09 pm

hi!

5:09 pm

later TEa!

5:09 pm

hope the shots don't hurt too much Tea

5:09 pm

hi Stid

5:09 pm

Hi, mymuse

5:09 pm

and Natasha

5:10 pm

Hi biltong!

5:10 pm

Bye, TeaNCrackers.

5:11 pm

muse, that is a super icon -- love the explanation!

5:11 pm

Thanks Stid...came across it while googling

5:11 pm

I am wandering off to work on the story a little more. See you-all later!

7:55 pm

Douglas, I really appreciate the play by play. The game is on a channel that we cannot get. Thank you!

7:56 pm

I have 9 left to find and have to leave! Arrgh!

I guess it will have to talk to Dr_ God ....... cannot understand why this thing thinks this room is his private forum.

7:57 pm

They were playing "I Will Follow" by U2 while showing the replay of the touchdown...

7:57 pm

hi all -- sorry I disappeared.... bye Jill, see you soon!

7:58 pm

Purloined, I did some play-by-play of a Mets-Cardinals game last week, and people seemed to enjoy it...

you are doing it for yourself

one has already left

7:59 pm

Actually, Purloined, many people have on-going conversations in the chat log around and through the other conversations. Douglas is not hurting anyone and you are being rude.

am I?

so if I want to talk about a high school game that is fine with you?

and I think HE is rude

and I think HE is rude

8:01 pm

because I don't watch football or baseball much, the play by play is interesting. and yes, if you wish to talk about it, that is fine. Though I might not respond since high school games don't interest me.

8:01 pm

There are Babblers who are quite devoted to their teams

8:02 pm

ph7/36--I have 4-8...

let them watch the game

8:02 pm

Bears three and out again, Cardinals start on their own 23...great coverage on the punt...

and stid what YOU say means nothing ..... you talk forever too

8:02 pm

And other Babblers (like myself) who get the teams all mixed up! Purloined -- if you are not interested in a conversation topic, then ignore it.

Who put YOU in charge?

8:03 pm

i like your play-by-play doug

8:03 pm

Do you have a favorite team, Purloined?

8:03 pm

*rolls eyes* Douglas, would you care for a cup of hot chocolate? I hear it's cold in Minnesota right now!

8:04 pm

hi debb! are you home yet?

If I want to follow a favorate team I don't come to a game room

8:05 pm

We did have snow flurries last week, but it's back to more-or-less normal for October...

8:05 pm

that's not so bad then -- It's colder than normal here, but a cup of hot tea makes up for it! :-)

8:06 pm

8:06 pm

8:12 pm

I guess the seahawks got lucky yesterday -- their goal kicker deserves a medal for saving their tailfeathers!

8:12 pm

I found myself talking in monosyllables whist in training! Despite all my Babble words!

8:12 pm

oh no, Jen! really? (envisions articulate woman reduced to blathering)

10:51 pm

I have a 4/9

10:51 pm

2 4/7

10:51 pm

2 5/18

now lose the last letter of the word you got and past tense it

10:52 pm

I know habsy...i know a previous word has to have the 2 point letter...i am just drawing a complete utter blank!!!!!!!

10:52 pm

how is that a word?

10:53 pm

man, thanks Purloin

10:53 pm

triat

10:53 pm

i hear douglas in minnesota breathing a sigh of relief all the way from here on the northwest side of chicago

klick on the ? mark beside the words and you may get a definition

10:53 pm

hi hk!

10:54 pm

hi all!

10:54 pm

No results found for feued.

How are you doing, Dispatch?

10:54 pm

hiya fran !! how goes it there?

don't put the word in the chat, please

10:54 pm

Hi FranMag!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

10:54 pm

I need two fe5's...the one that I don't need is obvious...

10:54 pm

i just can't get my brain to follow your clues!

10:55 pm

i'm sure it is so obvious...but @#&* I'm tired!

10:55 pm

and I don't get the clue that you are getting...

ok, one word is in the 4 squares in the southeast corner

10:56 pm

got that

10:56 pm

everything's fine hk!

10:57 pm

at a vowel to that in there somewhere

then the last one is to remove the last letter of that word and add the past tense suffix

10:57 pm

the fe4's were easy...it is the fe5's that are killing me...

10:57 pm

add even

one fe is the past tense of the fe 4/7;

10:57 pm

good to hear fran - whew!

10:58 pm

thanks bod...wew! one down one to go...

10:58 pm

it was irritating to have the power out, but no damage in this part of the state.

10:58 pm

or not too much damage i should say

10:58 pm

thank you...I should have been able to get that last one...kind of obvious...

the second re 5/18 is like swamp water change the last vowel of the first 5/18

10:59 pm

omg! you gave that same clue before and i just didn't get..but i got it now! Thank you Purloined!

You have them all?

11:00 pm

Do you have any snow, cybernan?

11:03 pm

Thx bodkinz. I should have remembered that word from the other day. I just checked the deinition. I'm sure no one will ever use that word.

11:04 pm

No -- scattered showers today and cooler, but not too bad.

11:04 pm

hottest october on record here in the UK

11:05 pm

We don't usually get snow until late December or early January and then it is unusual to have it for more than 3 weeks, and rarely more than about 6 inches.

11:05 pm

11:08 pm

11:08 pm

Nice icon, helen, yours too, cybernan

11:08 pm

dispatch, like part of your eye also

11:09 pm

no we are about 400 km from the ocean but a rather large lake run's the length of our valley and we have a rather nice micro climate here.
