12:36 am

Jilli. An9 Weigh down a ship, and extend it

12:36 am

thanks, melon -- not that i"ll find them!

got the an 9 - details at 11 ;)

hee hee

12:37 am

does the eu build off shorter words, i don't have anything from that E

12:37 am

I have the an6 & 7 -- must search for more...

I had to look up the words in more words - it is a plural, both of the eu words are eu 8/55

i just gave a big fatuous clue, jilli

and they're fish - literally

12:38 am

ahhh. cleaver. thanks melon

12:38 am

i meant clever, not cleaver....

12:38 am

don't have the eu -- but looking......

cleaver - as in the Mrs who always bakes cookies????

that eu is an odd one for sure

12:38 am

hmm, perhaps a little help then, tea?

12:38 am

thx melon

eu + **te nite tv + charlie ****

12:39 am

12:41 am

I cheated :)

12:42 am

Never heard of either one of those words, but found em. ty

12:42 am

why is chones not a word =(

12:42 am

ty googled candlefish and there it is

12:42 am

thanks, TnC -- gottem

12:42 am

well, only a few among us would have got them on our own, so someone would have had to cheat sooner or later - you just saved time.

12:42 am

thanks for the eu's-would've never found them!

12:42 am

amen, hurshy

TnC could not have done it without you XXXOOO ;)

12:43 am

atalante prob would get them, with her marine biology background...

I;'m blushing

12:43 am

*curses her decision not to study marine biology*

12:43 am

Why do people call it cheating to look things up? Such words are not monkeyable.

12:43 am

hitting the dictionary is NOT cheating

i don't call it cheating - especially since one always learns something.

12:44 am

the quote I like best was given to me by a fellow babbler a long time ago: using a solver is cheating. everything else is research

I was being facetious about calling it cheating

thus the winky after it

12:44 am

did all you ladies get the HO 7 & 8?

12:45 am

ok, does anyone have all 3 s's? i got loud sleep noise and spanish one

Um is this the hard grid?

morning babblers, curse Monday mornings!!

1:19 am

could someone point me towards the no7?

1:19 am

a woman's purse was snatched, you stood there and did nothing, you're a no8

thanks i was wondering how the last 7 started - missed it scanning lickety's clues.

1:19 am

7, not 8

1:19 am

1:22 am

thanks fran, and fireworks!

haha - we must have just been reading each other's stories

1:22 am

i was thinking that hk! but my story is the truth!

1:22 am

taDah! vedaman!

1:23 am

help with this re7?

1:24 am

lol hk! i would never imply that! if they ask, i believe every word.

*hk notices she has used many, many words in her profile & not sure which one fran is referring to*

1:32 am

YAY TnC!!!

nite flosey

1:33 am

you talking about the scottish one?

yep

so you are now looking for one of 12?

1:33 am

yup (and an N and A above that)

1:33 am

a 4, 5, 6... they would have to be different, sigh.

a - do you have blemish

1:34 am

yup

1:34 am

found the h, that was the 4

1:35 am

how about the point total, that could help narrow it down

1773

1:35 am

33 more... so the 6 must be 21 and then 5/12

1:36 am

of which i have neither in the A's

and you are missing an n and an a

1:36 am

yup

a 6/21 - it relates to equine

1:37 am

yay, thanks

n 5/12 - there are two

no + males

no - like the travelocity guy

1:37 am

i have 3, lol

1:38 am

wait, it was that first one

1:38 am

no5clature. lol

sorry - baby was crying

1:38 am

sok, we got liftoff anyway

woo hoo!

1:39 am

yay hurshy

1:39 am

i totally have that fruit of the loom song stuck in my head. "yoooooouuuuuuuu can't overlook your underwear..."

oh dear

1:41 am

morning dear gang

1:41 am

well it's their fault for making such a good song on a commercial. commericals aren't supposed to have good songs.

that cracks me up - I was just checking e-mail and some lady is offering her underwear on freecycle - yuck

morning, sprite

1:42 am

ew

and there's the taken post - someone took her undies

1:43 am

eeeewwwww

1:43 am

ew

1:43 am

golly, can i get people to take away junk from my house?

exactly! I love freecycle, but somethings belong in the garbage

1:44 am

hi sprite

oh yeah - go to freecycle.org to find the group local to you and list away!

1:44 am

if that sells, why am I not rich?

1:44 am

wish i had known about this a long time ago

1:44 am

spritey dear, it's FREEcycle

1:44 am

ah - not known here, but I get the drift now

although, sprite, I'm sure there's a market for undies somewhere

1:45 am

yes, a market of pervs, no doubt

blech

1:46 am

lots of strange people out there

1:46 am

Guess I am not rich because I cannot handle pervs then :)

i need to sleep - nite all and thanks for the help

1:47 am

me either sprite

1:47 am

night TnC

1:47 am

bye tea

1:51 am

1:51 am

thx sprite, will look

1:51 am

Andree, it was a joke...

1:52 am

why isn't norse a word?

1:52 am

it is a word, I am sure. Does it need a capital, maybe?

1:52 am

guess it's proper

1:52 am

sprite thought it was aclue

1:53 am

maybe

1:53 am

Andree, it really was a joke. Like no coffee please, no noise please, no 7/32 please :) Don't have it yet, once I do I will post a clue.

1:53 am

now I'm off *poof*

1:53 am

thx sprite

1:54 am

earlier the no 7/32 was clued as someone who sees a purse getting snatched and doing nothing...but i didn't get it

1:55 am

if you get it...clue me please!

1:56 am

night all

1:56 am

night chj

1:56 am

1:58 am

1:58 am

someone who is not that valiant guy, the knight in shining armour, kind of a.... coward!

1:59 am

you are the wind brneath my wings

1:59 am

thx chj and sprite

1:59 am

Reminds me of the series Moonlighting. When he says that if he had lived in the middle ages, he would have been a knigt in shining armor. And she says: "You would have been up all knight shining armors."

1:59 am

okay...you know what...i have been monkeying around this word for a long time...and knew the ending...but didn't type in the second hump letter!

1:59 am

silly silly me

2:00 am

*up all night

2:00 am

It happens, Dispatch. It is called babblism.

2:00 am

lol sprite

2:01 am

the oh4/6 has me stumped

2:01 am

One of those things that just cannot be translated :) I never forgot, though.

2:02 am

units of resistance

2:02 am

or tiredism...getting up in 4 hours...need to get to sleep. andree...it's an electrical work...or maybe what a yogaist wouls say plural

2:02 am

think electricity, Andree

2:03 am

the yoga reference did it, thx

2:03 am

yw

2:04 am

andree..that o actually came from the top...i still need the last o from the middle

2:05 am

babblism: a condition that may become chronic without rest that affects perception characterized by looking without seeing.

2:05 am

"they" say its an on...but other than that i'm clueless...any help?

2:05 am

on 5/14 maybe, haven't got it yet

2:05 am

sounds about right ka

2:06 am

well said ka

2:06 am

hi all :)

2:06 am

hi atalante

2:06 am

Hey Ata! *hugs* I have on5/14 I think it has to do with boredom?

2:07 am

2:07 am

um...a little more to that clue sprite?

2:08 am

Hey Everyone - Don't you hate RH words? I do! Gotta rush off for a sec, back soon.

2:08 am

2:09 am

Hugs, lickety! And no, I only hate K-words.

2:09 am

lol I know you're not, I just feel awfully guilty about not having as much time as I want every day!

2:10 am

thx sprite

2:10 am

There is really really no hurry, Ata. We will let it grow organically, as it should look as well ;) And since I know it is going to work out perfectly, I can really relax about the whole thing. It will be done when it will be done :D

2:11 am

yes, it will. and it'll look fab. well, it already does, it can only get better!

2:11 am

Exactly!

2:13 am

hello everyone. this isn't a nice one - is it?

2:13 am

hi lynxxx - not compared to yesterday's, no. It is not coming easy all the way. Still it has some nice words :)

2:15 am

better than yesterday for no other reason than I should find the time to finish this one

2:15 am

hi lynxxx

2:15 am

grin, so many babblers, so many opinions. Guess you will have to dig in to find out for yourself, lynxxx :)

2:15 am

good evening Andree

128 and such big words - very strange indeed~

2:18 am

phantom: venomous

2:18 am

2:21 am

2:21 am

2:21 am

2:22 am

you are special lickety

2:22 am

mrP is the best, you deserve eachother. And hey, that will save quality time, working on the train :)

2:22 am

Lickety - she let us in on what she was going to do - she was really 'chuffed' by it all.

2:24 am

an 9/72; eu 8/55; eu 8/55; eu 9/72; ho 7/6; ho 8/50; mo 8/55; rh 8/55

You were in on it? No way! Awwww shucks. I can't stop complementing the Babble crew - wow. The most wonderful thing is that everyoine regardless of age is equal - and I'm probably younger than most

2:24 am

meaning you found them all, Ka?

2:25 am

yes

2:25 am

wow

That's quick Ka

2:25 am

help from many

2:28 am

plllsss - the 'girls 'have been lusting over a picture of Imran - all I can see is the rug on his chest - eeewww! bring on the wax I say!

I will never look at that printer the same way!

Wax On, Wax Off

2:29 am

not at Harry Potter, mrP :)

ouch!!

2:31 am

phantom: monarch

ok, have left slovenia for the moment...

2:32 am

LOL mrP, I was just wondering.

2:32 am

Krys, that phantom may has some visibilty

2:32 am

2:33 am

2:33 am

2:34 am

I am really doing lousy today, seeing how many you all have already!

2:34 am

I don't think anyone realises she just has another name mrp

2:35 am

where is it published, mrP?

lickety has published it.... but he is having issues with it... will keep you posted sprite!!

2:37 am

ve7/44 please

2:38 am

sorry andree, i need it too

2:38 am

I can see it would be. Would be great to have drG make it available in babble playing form, wouldn't it. On a different page of course, not limited to one day.

2:38 am

anyone got a definition?

2:39 am

not me yet, Krys and Andree, sorry.

2:40 am

Krys ve7/44 def: a small vein

2:43 am

2:59 am

kitty has just pointed out that it is way past my bedtime

3:00 am

back tomorrow - g'night all!

3:00 am

good kitty, keeps you on the right track.

3:00 am

good night

3:00 am

a-yup :)

3:00 am

g'nite Krys (and kitty)

3:00 am

Krys, If you like I have some pics of bridges

3:00 am

*poof*

3:01 am

ooh! from where?

3:01 am

(un*poof*)

3:01 am

from PhotoAlto, Roads and Bridges CD

3:01 am

more roads than bridges, actually, but I could send you the bridges separately.

3:01 am

May I please have a clue for the other 9 before I go. I have the an9

3:01 am

my email is in the profile, just leave out the spaces

3:02 am

neat! i'll drop you a note so we can talk about 'em!

3:02 am

Great!

3:03 am

Eu8/55: small, edible, smeltlike fish, Thaleichthys pacificus, of northwestern coastal waters of North America, being so oily that when dried it can be used as a candle. The 9 is the plural.

3:03 am

Thank you sprite - hunting now

Got it (thanks to Google) - what's the clue for the AN9 if you'd be so kind...

3:04 am

Them telling the news, matty.

Merci buckets, Sprite!

3:04 am

yw ;)

3:05 am

ooh, i just realized, this is the perfect place to ask:

3:05 am

for UK travel advice

3:06 am

my husband and i are flying into Heathrow on 12/25. We were hoping to get to Brussels that same day, but there are no flights. Best to stay in a hotel close to Heathrow and fly out the next day, or other ideas?

3:08 am

Fly to Schiphol airport, have dinner with us and then go to Brussels would be my idea, but that is definitely not what you are looking for ;)

3:09 am

You could try Eurostar to Brussels, Krys?

3:09 am

that would be fun! the heathrow tickets are set, but we didn't expect to have so much trouble finding transport around europe once we got there.

3:09 am

train?

3:09 am

Yes!

3:10 am

I will look into it. I think J looked and found that there were few trains running because of the holiday.

3:11 am

Fireworks. I bid you goodday or night or whatever, and thanks for the help and the fun :)

3:11 am

hi all - 128 words this shouldn't be too bad

3:11 am

http://www.eurostar.com/dynamic/_SvBoE xpressBookingTerm?_TMS=1164013744632&_ DLG=SvBoExpressBookingTerm&_LANG=UK&_A GENCY=ESTAR&com.estar.navigation.BackA ttribute=SvBoTravelFaresSelectTerm&web logic.servlet.network_channel.port=735 1&GO=1&_TMS=1164013744557

3:11 am

sold out - just tried it

3:11 am

it is a bit tricky, Ric, but otherwise ok!

3:11 am

Bye sprite. Thanks for the eu9 - got it

3:12 am

Bye Sprite ! and Congrats !

3:12 am

'night sprite! ((hugs)) and congrats on your fireworks

3:12 am

Congratulations, Sprite!!

3:12 am

Well doneSprite!

3:13 am

having the stats on all the biggies really helped!

3:14 am

sue, I think we waited too long - afternoon and evening trains all sold out.

3:14 am

thank you for the idea

3:15 am

can you get out to Brussels from one of the other London airports? Gatwick? or City>

3:15 am

?

3:15 am

dunno if J has looked into that - I think he was focusing on Heathrow

3:15 am

or rent a car and drive through the tunnel??

3:15 am

Or Stansted

3:16 am

Thought you had to put the car on a train

3:16 am

how hard is it to get from heathrow to gatwick?

3:16 am

you do, but you drive at each end :P

3:17 am

That might be true. Not sure you can drive yourself through it indeed.

3:17 am

is the train through the chunnel the same eurostar that has no tickets available for passengers?

3:17 am

Different train but prob same situation

3:18 am

there;s a coach shuttle that goes between the two airports, takes about 45 minutes I think

3:18 am

boat is taking ages, you'd better wait it out then until the next day...

3:19 am

oh, i see the problem - we get into heathrow aroudn 10 AM and the cheap flight out of heathrow leaves at 9 AM. Then the price goes up dramatically (three times the cost of a hotel room overnight)

3:19 am

oh urf

3:20 am

so maybe the overnight near heathrow is better. is there anything fun to do around heathrow (although we'll probably want to mostly sleep, I'd imagine, after flying out from California!)

3:21 am

it's about 90 minutes away from london proper, yes?

krys i thought that they would have airport to airport shuffle like they do here. HI all dorry to but in

3:21 am

Don't sleep during the day, otherwise you'll prolong your jet lag! (Good morning, by the way)

3:22 am

heathrow isn't exactly the *most* interesting place to be, but I think you should be able to get to Windsor Castle pretty quickly from there

3:22 am

hiya! yeah, i know it'd be better to have lots of coffee and stay up - that's why i'm looking for stuff to do besides hang out in a hotel room

can get train from heathrow to london

3:24 am

Transport-wise over the Christmas holiday is not the best time for public transport

3:24 am

well, I could fly out of gatwick if i wanted to change planes in latvia!

3:24 am

we'd arrive on 12/26 regardless

3:25 am

maybe i'll look into renting a car so we can get around, and find some stuff to do near heathrow for a day trip

3:25 am

good morning all

honer

3:26 am

krys-have you ever drive in England?

3:26 am

Good morning Eva.

opps sorry bout that

3:27 am

eva - i have driven in england, ten years ago. a lorry, actually.

3:27 am

but i'd make my husband drive, anyway

3:27 am

Morning Krys. I live 3 miles from Heathrow, so if there's anything I can do to help.... Yes, Windsor is very close and that would be a super trip. You can also take the A10 bus from the airport into Uxbridge where there are two big shopping malls, cafes, etc.

3:27 am

fast lanes on the wrong side, roundabouts confusing

3:28 am

wow! That's impresive. I found it hard even to be a pedestrian in England let alone drive, let alone drive around the Heathrow area.

3:28 am

hi hydra! a bus would be nice and low key and a shopping trip would also do well to keep us awake but not overstimulated :) that might be perfect.

3:29 am

british driving licenses are said to be the highest rank - you can drive anywhere with them :).

3:29 am

There's a cinema there to, currently showing Borat. You can sneak in and go to sleep!

3:29 am

:)

That is a good call hydra

3:30 am

The Chimes mall has Debenhams, Gap, Monsoon, BHS, and the Pavilions has Marks & Spencer, TKMaxx and lots more. I'm heading there in half an hour to change my library book and by some M&S salad!

3:31 am

sounds like you've got a plan, krys! Isn't it wonderful to have this international web of word addicts?

3:31 am

If you need any specific info, Krys, email me at hydrababble@yahoo.co.uk

3:32 am

When are you coming? We could meet for coffee, maybe!

3:33 am

Hydra and everyone, thanks so much! I will run this plan by J and see if I get his approval :) We're flying in on 12/25, trying to get to Brussels as quickly as possible, then Germany for a few days, and then we're back in Epping 12/30-1/4

3:33 am

.....and I'm just up the road from Epping

3:33 am

are the malls, etc,open on Christmas?

3:33 am

yeah, good point - will places even be open?

3:34 am

I missed the start of the conversation but with you a very good trip. Don't think they're open Xmas day and Boxing Day but they are the rest of the time.

can i ack can you get nthe other word for cash in this clue

3:35 am

the m money slang wont work for me herin

3:35 am

phooey, well, if we can find a hotel that's open, we'll stay in and watch DVDs...

3:35 am

I did want to see a few bridges in London, maybe that's the day to do it

3:35 am

but i could be spelling it wrong i guess

3:36 am

since the bridges will be open :) I can't wait to photo the curling bridge

no the other one for cash

3:36 am

Oh, is it Xmas Day you're going to be in London then, Krys?

3:36 am

yes, we leave California 12/24 and arrive in London 12/25, and were hoping to grab a puddle-jumper to Brussels that same day

3:37 am

and then we'll be back in the UK again for New Years

3:37 am

You know, I'm so used to reading dates the other way round that I thought you were coming 12th Dec! You should call in here for mince pies!!!

3:38 am

You should try the Bull at Thedon Bois for a very good pub meal

3:38 am

That should read Theydon Bois

3:38 am

whoops, forgot about the dates etc. Frances, is that near Epping?

3:39 am

mince pies, mmm :)

3:39 am

Are there restaurants that would be serving a nice Christmas dinner?

3:40 am

Just up the road from Epping Krys. You can hop on the central line train one stop and the pub is walking distance from the station

3:40 am

frances - theydon bois looks cool!

3:40 am

Where? Eping or Heathrow? If it's Heathrow, I can find out so you can book.

3:40 am

since everyone else is at home, Christmas can be a wonderful day to walk around places -if its not too cold

3:40 am

You're right, Eva.

3:41 am

Well dogs need to be walked every day

3:41 am

hydra - J and I will take a crack at it, though if we need an insider's advantage or restaurant recommendations, I will surely get in touch to ask you.

3:41 am

:)

3:41 am

bridges in london would be great when no-one else is around!

3:41 am

Atalante, that's what I thought too - could get a photo of the pedestrian bridge wtih no one on it, maybe

3:42 am

Also, I don't know if it's the same there as here, but Indian and Chinese restaurants here are open on Christmas...being Jewish in predominantly Christian country, one knows these things.

3:42 am

and let me know too Krys and I can keep you upto date on the Epping area.

3:42 am

Hey everyone.

3:42 am

there will be people around, I'm sure, but nothing like the normal crowds

3:42 am

yeah, I grew up in a US city with a large Jewish population, so I forget that lots of places are closed in other parts of the world

3:42 am

hi ihsult

3:42 am

i will keep you all posted about what we figure out.

3:43 am

screencaps from 28 days later would have empty pedestrian bridges in London

3:43 am

I know where Theydon Bois is. When I was a kid, used to pley Ggolf in Abridge up the road toTheydon Bois. My mum still plays there!!

krys i think they filmed 28days later in London at about 4am (or when dawn was) in the morning so there was noone around,

3:44 am

28 days later is from 2002? i thought the bridge was newer than that

3:44 am

maybe i'm getting it mixed up with the curling bridge

3:44 am

Nice course lshult

3:44 am

it's a fantastic film too - icky and scary

3:44 am

but ganja, part of the fun is the photographing for me :)

3:45 am

i can relate to that krys, tho photoshop does help to make it look like i have SOME talent

3:46 am

ah yes, the curling bridge was built in 2004: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The _Rolling_Bridge

Um im not familar with location details but maybe you could google it Krys

3:46 am

OK I'm off to the shopping mall with daughter in law and granddaughter for the day. Wish me luck. See you tonight.

3:46 am

g'luck fran

Goodluck France

3:46 am

}}}}}}>>>>>>>>>gone

3:47 am

millenium bridge was finished in 2000: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil lennium_Bridge_%28London%29

3:48 am

we're still waiting for the millenium park out here, lol

3:48 am

they only started digging it out this year

3:48 am

the curly bridge is very near the train station where trains come into LOndon from Heathrow

3:48 am

s'a little late, then, huh Ric?

3:49 am

heh

3:49 am

ooh! then maybe I'll see if J will indulge me in a bridge tour on Christmas Day and a fine dinner somewhere between London and the hotel near Heathrow. This is getting better

3:49 am

thats british management for you i guess

3:50 am

bridge would surely be empty on Xmas day

3:50 am

sounds like a good Christmas to me.

3:50 am

at least at meal times

happy early morning, USians, and afternoon/evening elsewhereses . . . (!)

3:51 am

back at ya gwen

3:51 am

morning gwen

3:52 am

hey gwen-you're up even earlier than I am!

3:52 am

woteva do the 9s start with??

3:52 am

nice to see I'm not the only insomniac

that east-coast time zone will get ya . . .

3:53 am

Hi Gwen. Having a break - bye for now

3:53 am

an9 &eu9

3:53 am

eu9 & an9. There were clues not too long ago

3:53 am

thanks ishult

3:53 am

'kay, iI really gotta go to sleep - kitty is now batting at the laptop screen, and she's got a point - it's almost 2 AM here. Thanks to everyone, UK and otherwise, for the travel advice, and I will keep you posted about how it turns out! *poof*

hiye Tricky -- what is your logo? Rotary kind of thing?

3:53 am

are they real (regular) words ishult?

3:54 am

its the kde icon - www.kde.org

3:54 am

the an word is-think of the people who give you the news

3:54 am

i'm not a kde developer though - just a user

3:54 am

oh thanks eva - should have gotten that compound

3:54 am

the eu word is a total babblet-if you go back in the log you'll find the google definition to look up. It's a fish, believe it or not

3:55 am

x-cellent eva, many thanks

3:55 am

yw

3:56 am

maybe if I stop babbling I'll be able to fall back to sleep? And maybe the Easter Bunny brings easter eggs.

neat-o, tricky! I look forward to the time when there is an OS that will *kill* windows

3:56 am

ganja-what's with the nickname?

3:57 am

i havn't used windows in over 2 years, and there's 3 desktops, a server, and a laptop in this house hehe

3:58 am

i run a business (www.qweb-design.co.uk) using gnu softwares alone :-) plenty of competing software out there

3:58 am

just liked the sound of it eva

3:58 am

sure thing ganja(-:

3:58 am

ound the eu9 too, thanks, fancy being able to use it as a candle - that's kinda eerie not to mention probably smelly

tricky, i know there are other OSes, but i mean one that will run windows off the market -- one that is easy enough to use for the ordinary non-geek

3:59 am

yes-just what I want for house decora-fish oil candles!

3:59 am

ick lol

thanks all for the fish candle clue -- just got it

3:59 am

but to have the wick coming out of their little mouths would make for some cool halloween decorations

4:00 am

try fedora core - its a distribution of the gnu operating system with a linux kernel but very easy to use and maintain, and its rpm based so no compiling etc. to get used to

4:00 am

mmmmm smoked salmon incense

4:00 am

very hard to type with a 15 pound cat sitting on ones chest

4:00 am

there's also live cd distributions if you want to get a feel for gnu/linux before actually installing anything. ubuntu is a good choice there

tricky, i hesitate since i need to trade files a lot and they must all be compatible with others who are using MS stuff

4:01 am

i imagine its hard to do much of anything with a 15 pound cat on ones chest

4:01 am

the aliens are having a conversation

4:01 am

these days many proprietary file types are supported too, especially since xml formatting took off

4:02 am

Eva - we must hu5/16 them!

4:02 am

yes, sometimes I wake up thinking that I'm having some terrible breathing problem et voila-just catitits

4:02 am

openoffice runs on windows too, though it supports and can convert between all microsoft office file types anyway

4:02 am

no problem with the aliens-always amazes me that there are people who understand all of this

4:03 am

though shockwave flash (not flash flash) still isn't available as it uses directx handles, not opengl

4:03 am

I basically know how to turn my Mac on, get email and search the web

4:03 am

I know.

tricky, my business depends (largely) on a software package that wont' even run on the UK version of windows, so I hesitate to fiddle with a new OS

my mum doesn't know how to cut and paste which i find funny

4:04 am

lol haz i'm trying to find your hu5 now...

4:04 am

It's an American spelling (it will make you laugh if it's good)

4:04 am

well i can't help there, lol. what software is this? or is it in-house?

4:05 am

i think i have more phantoms than real words at this point

4:05 am

but I'm really lucky to have alien friends and neighbors who help me out with computer stuff. The cutting and pasting is funny....as I have a Mac, and not one of the brand new ones, I can't always read PC attachments, so often ask people to send stuff instead just by cutting and pasting and often they don't know how to do that

4:05 am

oh i got that already lol, was thinking along the lines of hunting..

Booktrakker, www.booktrakker.com

4:05 am

oh no tricky, we'd never want to hunt you

4:06 am

not without seeing a pic first tricky haha

eva, there are millions of people with computers who can ust barely send email and play solitaire. met one yesterday

4:06 am

No - we're reasonably tolerant - sometimes pushed over the edge!

4:06 am

hmm inventory management... i'll have a think for you

4:06 am

lolganja

puters are still not 'intuitive' enough for the average person to use easily

4:07 am

open office has something that is very similar to ms access or so i hear, havent played with it yet

4:08 am

I love my Mac. Have tried PC's a few times over the years and felt like taking an ax to them....the Mac is so, so much more user friendly-unless you want to do complex stock trading

4:09 am

openoffice is a full productivity suite much like ms office but superior in many ways - such as native pdf export, 3d graphic tools, and a complete set of internationalisation packages.

4:09 am

'I love my Mac' - you'll not hear Heather Mills saying those words any more....

4:09 am

and as of a few weeks ago we have broadband here in the mountains! At least until the spring....not entirely clear what will happen once the trees leaf out, but am hoping for the best

eva, agree completely. i use a pc only because i have to minimize compatibility issues

4:09 am

who is Heath Mills and who is her Mac?

4:10 am

and what did he do to her?

4:10 am

Heather Mills - Paul McCartney's wife - he's divorcing her after 4 years.

4:10 am

ah......

4:10 am

He did all sorts of things according to her!

ono its celebrity divorce talk

(running away with hands over ears, screaming)

4:11 am

No, just a play on words.

4:11 am

celebrities and computers equally alien speak to me.....now food talk, that's something I understand.

4:12 am

lol

4:12 am

i should probably learn food talk too... i really could eat my own words then"!

4:12 am

been stuck at 40 left for a looooong time

4:15 am

okay-think I'll try snoozing again. see you later

4:15 am

bye

4:15 am

Sleep well, Eva

nighty night eva

4:16 am

aww can't believe you can't have re + le5,14 :-(

There's no way to get that word without using the same E twice. Believe it.

4:17 am

He means lu5/14

4:17 am

exactly, lol

oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, I see

4:19 am

hmm i don't have an lu5,14 yet..

okay, 50% done at last. now i start "cheating"

4:19 am

got me looking lol

4:19 am

The light will dawn

4:19 am

lumor

4:19 am

oops sorry

4:19 am

Good start, different ending

4:20 am

ah got it

4:20 am

And the plural?

4:20 am

and with it the 6,24 :-)

4:21 am

now if i could just find the other 73..

4:22 am

I've just found one of my favourite words - French for pout. A rodent missing a letter mo4/6.

4:23 am

ty

Harrumph. One of my favorite words is "defenstration" but what are the odds of it ever actually showing up?

4:24 am

its hard enough finding the english words without them throwing french ones in too, lol

4:24 am

lol sam

4:24 am

I shall look out for defenestration! Time for me to go. Have a good day.

Good night

4:25 am

bye

4:26 am

anyone else find it annoying to have tiles that just need one more word to blank out, but that word seems to be hiding a little too well?

Clue for the he 4/6 please

4:27 am

think clothing

4:27 am

turn up the...

sod im such a goose i got it and didn't see it until the keyboard was upsidedown

Your keyboard was upside down?

4:28 am

lmao

i need the other he 4/6

You have a different method of playing this game that I do

laptop, im eating cheese

The other one starts with a different H. I'm not sure that cheese is related, though.

i need the other he im eating cheese and using a laptop and i put it down and saw it

4:31 am

can get a 5,14 off that one too

clueage still needed

It has three of the same letters as the other he, and it begins with another h on the board. Does that help?

4:34 am

well according to google - He** is the smallest of the Channel Islands that is open to the public. Cars are banned from the small island just like its Channel Island neighbour, Sark. Unlike Sark, bicycles are banned too. However, He** does allow quad bikes and tractors for the locals. The sandy white beaches make He** a walker's paradise

4:35 am

brb hangover making me feel ill suddenly..

5:01 am

hi biltong

5:02 am

hi biltong

5:02 am

Well, herinfen - If I disappear for a short while, I'll be feeding the cats.

5:03 am

We had very strong winds last night too, Jacula

kitties

5:03 am

lu4/6 (if there is only one) is Scottish word for 'chimneys'.

5:03 am

Biltong - Any damage? I hope not.

5:03 am

Herin, think fruit without first consonant

im so brain dead

5:04 am

'Lang may your l*** reek'

5:04 am

Good clue, sunny.

5:04 am

No not that I can see or have heard of.

5:04 am

Hi Haz.

5:04 am

Hello Jacula - just passing through as usual. I've 39 left and trying to resist the temptation to finish!

5:05 am

phantom word Jacula :)

5:05 am

I love the scottish language

5:05 am

Haz - I have a dilemma; do I tackle the ironing or finish Babble?

5:05 am

Oh, finish Babble.

5:06 am

Biltong - Oh yes! I'm almost in the grid. Fame at last!

5:06 am

definitely babble jac

5:06 am

I'm SUCH a bad influence.

5:06 am

Haz - you said it!;)

5:07 am

Once I find another 8 letter word, I will go and be a housewife.

5:08 am

Haz, everyone, has a neat trick... She mops her floor in such a direction that she is trapped in her study and therefore 'must' stay by the pc until the floor's dry. Whilst there... well, she may as well be productive & Babble. :))))

5:08 am

anyone have mo8/55 or no7/32?

5:08 am

Fiddlesticks, I've found one. I'll have to go...... (mo8/55 sounds like Wooster's eyepiece but is spelt differently)

5:08 am

lol jac

5:08 am

exclnt work Haz!! :)

5:08 am

Snowyown keeps a duster in the study so that she can pretend to be doing something useful.

5:09 am

lol, Jacula

5:09 am

That's a good idea of Snowy's, Haz.:)

only 18 left, chug chug . . .

5:10 am

I thought so, Jacula. Maybe we should compile a list of babble strategies for the housewife.

5:10 am

Good idea, Haz.

clue for the mo 6 please

5:10 am

I, for instance, have the laundry basket by my side so that I can lift it and pretend to be on the way to the utility room.

5:10 am

my strategy is get the husband to do the housework while I babble

5:10 am

Hi, Gwen. Keep going.

opps dumb arse mo 4/6 please

5:11 am

mo4/6 is French for pout. The rodent loses a letter

5:11 am

can someone help me with re6?

5:11 am

LOL, kth.

thaks haz wouldn't have got that

5:12 am

thx jaz - just one to go, no7/32

5:12 am

re6 to light again, I think we had it or a similar word the other day

5:13 am

no7/32 is one who is NOT brave

5:13 am

i'm glad my MOTH likes to cook so I can get him to do that on odd nights so I can babble as soon as imps are sleeping.

5:13 am

5:53 am

The name 'candlefish' comes from the fact that it gets so fat during spawning that it can be dried, strung on a wick and burned as a candle. The 'eu' words we are looking for are its name in Chinook language. It is a 'smelt', often known as a 'hooligan' in English.

5:54 am

That was a clue for eu8/55 (both) & eu9/72, btw.

5:54 am

I've never heard of the chinook language, i thought babble was supposed to be in english

7:11 am

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

7:14 am

Good day Babblers!

7:15 am

mo8-think of kths' clue re a single eyeglass

7:15 am

rh8-weird one re raspy breath sounds I think

7:15 am

ho8 is what men blame women's moods on

7:15 am

Hello Scrabbler.

7:15 am

ho8-what some of us of a certain age are running out of

7:15 am

Sorry Merp butt I put him away for a while. Hi jac.

7:16 am

Thanks, kth. Hadn't got those ho words.

7:16 am

great clue kthdsn

7:16 am

Great icon, Jacula. That's how we feel sometimes.

7:16 am

Ooer, I mean 'ho' words. Don't want to be misunderstood.

7:16 am

I sware these letters jump right out of the keyboard!!

7:17 am

got the rh8, thanks good ness I know medical terms

7:17 am

and got the ho8, toothanks

7:17 am

still need mo8 though

7:17 am

Scrabbler - Thanks. The icon stemmed from ren8 saying, yesterday, that she was going to get her teeth into the grid.:)

7:17 am

mo8 means to do with monks

7:18 am

didn't realize monks were available?

7:18 am

mo8 - Lady with the enigmatic smile + consonant + computer from '2001'.

7:20 am

**returning after giving a rabbit a snack, after having ankles nipped** I am going to work on those eu ones next. TY for clues to ho8, rh8, and mo8.

7:20 am

jac - that's a great clue. Thanks!

7:20 am

thanks so much Jacula and knth, finally found the mo8

7:20 am

the rabbits nip your ankles? Is that how they show affection?

7:20 am

y/w, remluc.

7:21 am

That is how they get my attention.

7:21 am

Pleased that I remembered the name of the computer from "2001"

7:21 am

so am I peri!

7:21 am

The rabbit that I sleep shows affection at 3 Am by putting his whiskers in my face.

7:22 am

very cute. Had a rabbit when I was a kid, and then a big white one named Goliath who terrorized the dogs by thumping. You sleep with a rabbit? Never heard of that before. I'm assuming it is box trained?

7:23 am

I wouldn't sleep with any of my rabbits; they'd chew the bedclothes!

7:23 am

clue on the computer from 2001 pls

7:23 am

mornin babblers!

7:23 am

All of my bunnies are litter-box trained. They learn quite quickly. The one I sleep with is not a chewer.

7:24 am

you have rabbits too Jac?

7:24 am

Morning, evan.

7:24 am

this is a tough grid

7:24 am

nice country, jacula ;)

7:24 am

Eva - Yes. Down to 4 rabbits now (used to be more) + 5 g/pigs.

7:24 am

morning evan

7:24 am

and don't you also have cats?

7:25 am

Eva - Yes. The rabbits and piggies live in a big,heated shed. Not house pets.

7:25 am

scrabbler I'd love an indoor rabbit, do you think they would mix well with young children

7:26 am

Couldn't quite put the guinea pigs and cats together-except as diner and dinee.

7:26 am

any clues for the top o? I only have the resistance one

7:27 am

Kate--it depends on the temperaments of the rabbit and the kids. My Netherland dwarf is quite docile. Some rabbits are bred to be more calm.

7:27 am

good afternoon/morning all back from work have another go still 73 to find

7:27 am

I found 2 eu8's--are there more?

7:27 am

capemaggie - Computer from '2001' - think of *** Miller (jazz musician), or Mr Gore with an extra letter at the front of his first name.

7:27 am

Hi ursh

7:28 am

yews scrabbler-change th last vowel

7:28 am

Scrabbler - No. There's an eu9.

7:28 am

sorry scrabbler-didn't read carefully enough-jac is right

7:28 am

I'm adrift on the eu's. Help please?

7:28 am

All 3 'eu' words are the Chinook name for candlefish/smelt/hooligan.

7:29 am

o?

7:29 am

top o?

7:29 am

Thank ye jacula

7:29 am

the Os you need are oy4 and pl

7:30 am

y/w, Lori.

7:30 am

thanks! Just saw them

7:30 am

Got the eu9--I got all of the eu's with help from my Scrabble dictionary. Those are not words my monkey would find.

7:30 am

I was trying to think of a better way to clue them but failed

7:30 am

I need another 9--any clues?

7:30 am

what is the o that menas force???

7:30 am

bbl

7:31 am

Other 'o' left from top one is 'oh' (meditative words).

7:31 am

thansk

7:31 am

See you later, peri.

7:32 am

What a face wurdy!

7:32 am

Scrabbler - an9/72 = males who drop the ship's brake.

7:33 am

isnt she lovely and such a little snob

7:33 am

yes-she looks like she's accustomed to being waited upon by mere mortals, or she could be saying "We are not amused".

7:34 am

that would be her

7:34 am

are there any strange Ls, I'm missing 3

7:34 am

although she has to lick my husbands back for 20 minutes before she can go to sleep at bedtime. I find it disgusting, but he loves it

7:37 am

TY Jacula!

7:38 am

At first I thought Mollie was a lop-eared bunny, but on closer inspection she is a dog!

7:38 am

kth - lu5/14 & plural 6/24 - to do with light. (There's also an re6 & 7 associated.) lu4/6 - Scottish word for chimneys. Are those them?

7:38 am

y/w, Scrabbler.

7:40 am

I need thos light ones Jac, I have the re ones

7:40 am

Yuck, evanadine.

7:43 am

*hands evan a box of anti-viral tissues*

7:44 am

i have a dentist appt tomorrow -- are there any rules about going to the dentist wen youre sick?

7:44 am

Reschedule it--better for you and for the DDS and office staff.

7:44 am

evan - Probably best to cancel. You might not be able to breathe with dental equipment in your mouth.

7:45 am

yeah, i figured that would be the advice... waited 6 months for this appt though... *hrm*

7:45 am

Get some Echinacea and zinc gluconate lozenges.

7:45 am

6 months!!!

7:46 am

Good Monday Morning!

7:46 am

well, i *made* the appt 6 months ago...at my last cleaning...hehe but i have a feeling it would be a while if i had to reschedule..

7:46 am

Hi Mom

7:46 am

Blooming heck, Scrabbler, that's a long wait!

7:46 am

Hello Mom.

7:46 am

hi mom

7:46 am

Evanadine, we have to wait a while for appts. here as well. You could ask to be put on a waiting list in case someone cancels

7:47 am

Hi Scrabbler and Jacula

7:47 am

Hi Kthdsn

7:47 am

i guess ill just wait + see how i feel tomorrow... its just a regular cleaning, which shouldnt take too long...

7:49 am

so, i know there are 2xEU* and 1xEU9 -- any hints on those?

7:50 am

I don't have any hints for those Evanadine. Wish I could help.

7:50 am

evan - Chinook name for fish - candlefish/smelt/hooligan.

7:50 am

Hi Babblers :(

7:51 am

eu + consonant + when your head hurts you have a head*e + not off, pl for the 9 and change the last vowel for the other 8

7:51 am

good morning, babblers!

7:51 am

Those are weird words to clue...hmm.....lady's name + Charlie ****, then for another change last vowel of Charlie's surname to a circle, and then pl that for the 9.

7:54 am

Hi Jacs

7:54 am

Yes, Jac, I wanted to burn the grid.

7:54 am

7:54 am

evan - an9 = males who drop the ship's brake.

7:54 am

7:58 am

8:00 am

Don't get in a strop, faerie! (Clue for ho 'sharpening' words.)

8:00 am

oh thanks grace, i do have it in that case

8:00 am

8:00 am

I am missing two hu's can anyone help...I have the dance, mumbled singing, grunted what, and attila...please help

8:00 am

sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the point value

8:01 am

I agree Grace

8:01 am

pointless

better than clueless

8:01 am

wurdy - hu5 & 6 - you need a sense of hu*** (US spelling) for this grid.

8:01 am

that too

8:01 am

Hi TO!!!!!

8:02 am

a sense of hu5/16 is essential

hey faerie!

8:02 am

thanks very much..that was making me nuts

8:02 am

I'm losing my sense of hu 5/16 over here

8:03 am

whine * pout *

8:04 am

Annie I wish I could I have 55 words but it's makeing me very upset

8:04 am

faeriekae, did you always have the 2 after your lovely name

8:04 am

at times, I have a sense of ve 5/18 for theses grids!

8:04 am

temple assuming it's one of the 8s, change the last vowel, and plural one of them

8:04 am

It's me Wurdy *sprinkle* *sprinkle* *sprinkle*

8:04 am

8:04 am

Hey Evandine. If your dad hunts, do what they do up here. Have him do a fly in hunt. (Fly him into the wilderness and drop him off for a week) Don't send cigarettes with him. That'd be a jump start.

matty, this calls for a babble strike!!! Arise, babblers!

You tell 'em guys! AS if Babble is a hinderance to productivity!

1:10 pm

never!!!

hehe... i don't think that'll happen at my job, it's my own boss who got me hooked on babble .lol

1:11 pm

productivity, hmmm, wonder what that could be

I think part of the problem is that whilst I run Babble in the background, it keeps updating, so it looks to the techies as if I'm on it constantly. Sigh

1:13 pm

matty, get the techies to play babble and then the problem is solved---everyone will be addicted

Hmmmm...I'd have to teach them some words first :D

hiya jacula!

5:39 pm

ok, I vowed yesterday to give up Babble because nothing gets done including homework, housework, school at all. Soooooooooooooo, I today vowed that I would only do smaller puzzles

5:40 pm

hi Jacula

jacula - is that your country there? - babbleonia?

5:40 pm

We've been hated a lot longer than just the last 6 years." Oops. We need money. Long live the USA"

5:40 pm

is that a good compromise?

5:40 pm

sounds good april

5:40 pm

April - I vow to give up Babble at least twice a week. LOL.

5:40 pm

Excellent compromise.

5:40 pm

oh man, so I am not alone...

lol mkl

5:41 pm

Hell - Yup! That's Babbleonia.

5:41 pm

ok so small puzzles, under 150, under 130, under 200? what would you all consider a small puzzle?

5:41 pm

Under 200 is a small grid to me.

5:41 pm

yesterday was small enough but took a LONG time

5:41 pm

april, under 150

5:41 pm

Jacula. Are you the Prince Regent of Babbleonia?

jacula - that's very funny! & very clever too, LOL

5:42 pm

Mind you, I've got loads of 'proper' work done today, so I'm happy.

5:42 pm

under 150 sounds about right Fran

yes april - yesterday's was a killer

5:42 pm

Have to agree with Jacula. Anything under 200.

5:42 pm

Does anyone need any clues?

5:43 pm

I guess I will see what the day looks like. somewhere between 100 and 200..... yah right! I will try I will try!

5:43 pm

so thanks cluers and advisors alike. I am now off to do some 'proper' work

5:43 pm

Hell - I didn't even know today's theme was countries and I can't really take credit for my icon being a map of Babbleonia. It was your idea... and a very good one, too. I made the icon yesterday after ren8 said she was 'getting her teeth into' the grid. LOL.

5:43 pm

bye april!

5:43 pm

'Bye April.

5:44 pm

Sorry Jacula. I guess you would be the heir apparent. Her royal highness, princess Jacula of Babbleonia. Has a nice ring to it.

seriously jacula? that's practically psychic of you, LOL

5:44 pm

mkl - Prince Regent? I'm female! *Looks down top to check.*

bye april

5:45 pm

mistress - i thought your icon was kool casuse it had "gto" in it!

5:45 pm

5:45 pm

5:45 pm

5:45 pm

Hi rennie. 'gto'??

5:46 pm

Nice icon renfield. Wouldn't mind being there right now. Looked out the window at all the snow and my thermometer reads 32 below zero.

5:46 pm

Oh, I see, rennie. Just noticed your icon.

okay - fran - i'm so glad to be here, what great timing

hiya rennie!

5:47 pm

no wonder, didn't realize you were in alaska mkl!

32 BELOW ? ! ? ! ? ! YIKES & i thought i weathered winter well here

5:47 pm

Yep. Normally I love it here. Takes about a month for me to get used to winter. Then I'm fine. Haven't been above 10 below in more than two weeks.

5:48 pm

yeah, let's see what rennie says helen

5:48 pm

sweet helen!

5:48 pm

5:48 pm

Helenkeller. The coldest I've ever been was on the pier in Chicago. The wind eats you up during the winter.

yes fran - waiting for rennie's response too

5:49 pm

The coldest I've ever been was in April in Scarborough (Yorkshire)! LOL

5:49 pm

rh 8,55 pls

yep mkl - our winters can be wicked, although last winter was really, really mild

5:50 pm

bubba, wheezing sound from mucusy lungs

fran - hmmmm, no comment on the pirate blood from rennie, maybe she missed that part

5:50 pm

5:50 pm

Reykjavic (Iceland) in April was positively warm!

5:50 pm

5:59 pm

Fran - I know that feeling! Mine's all done, thank God!

6:00 pm

Definition of a babble addict - one who tries to see how many words you can get from Jacula's icon. All the laundry done? Are there pigs circling the blue moon?

6:01 pm

Hi Haz. Truly! It IS all done AND ironed and put away.

evening all can someone pls clue the ho 7 pls and ty

6:01 pm

Well, give yourself a pat on the back!

6:01 pm

Haz - I also got a couple of dozen pots of bulbs done.

6:02 pm

Goodness, you have been busy today. And you got babble done in pretty smart time.

6:03 pm

Hi Sheryl. ho7 & plural 8 is/are those things women have that men blame our strange moods on.

6:03 pm

Haz - I haven't finished Babble... one word to go...

ty jac

6:03 pm

y/w, Sheryl.

6:03 pm

Ah, then I will be able to give congratulations...

was gonna have a "bad" mood cause I couldn't find them, not I never once thought to blame it on the ho 8, lol

brb

6:06 pm

FIREWORKS! But I deserve a fish for my last word found (ro4/5 - Leslie Phillips type man).

6:06 pm

LOL, Sheryl.

congrats jac

6:06 pm

hint for a sy word

6:06 pm

Well done - Peter Stringfellow is another example we had fun with one icon Friday!

can't help you randy don't have it yet

6:07 pm

sy5 - variant spelling of a femme fatale

ty haz needed that myself

6:08 pm

tyhaz

6:08 pm

You're welcome!

6:08 pm

one more s please

6:08 pm

en 5 please

6:09 pm

The other s words are anagrams of each other - think of a sleeping Spanish gentleman

6:09 pm

Hi aknitter. en5 - very large (short version).

6:10 pm

hi jac, i have missed that before ty

6:10 pm

Oh dear! Hunting Cat has brought home a raw chicken breast. I think he's been through someone's window and nicked their defrosting dinner.:(

6:11 pm

(Hope it's not poisoned!):(

6:11 pm

hahahaha love that cat!

6:11 pm

a little take - out for dinner

6:11 pm

Do you not feed that poor starving creature?

6:12 pm

what is with the eu words!!!!

6:12 pm

Haz - We've been giving him extra food but it's made no difference!

6:13 pm

aknitter - the eu words all mean the same thing (though the eu9 is a plural). Chinook word for candlefish/smelt/hooligan. Does that help??

6:13 pm

He must just love the thrill of the hunt. Though a raw chicken breast can't have given him much of a fight.

6:14 pm

a chinook word? Good lord. Not fluent in chinook i must say

6:14 pm

Haz - Been meaning to ask you if you (or hubby) has a table of food needed per cat (by cat's weight)? I mean, if you give half a tin at each of the 2 meals, that's 150g. One sachet, however, is only 100g serving per meal.

6:14 pm

i found them though thanks to my chinook speaking monkey

6:15 pm

aknitter - I knew you would!

6:15 pm

jac please don't tell me you speak chinook (feels insignificant and very country bumpkin)

6:15 pm

Haz - More of a fight than the 'fat ball' he nicked off someone's bird table last winter!

6:15 pm

There are probably tables of recommended amounts but I don't think cats pay much attention.

6:16 pm

aknitter - I don't, but my friend Google does.;)

6:16 pm

Haz - I think you're right.

6:16 pm

lol

6:16 pm

A cat of wide-ranging food tastes. What did that do to his digestive system?

6:18 pm

Haz - Well, cats love anything fatty (cheese, chicken skin etc.) If it had been Homely Cat that ate it, she would have brought it back over as wide an area in the house as possible. Hunting Cat seems to have a cast-iron stomach.

6:19 pm

jac are their names really hunting cat and homely cat?

6:19 pm

In the words of Pollyanna, let's be glad Hunting boy got the fat rather than Homely Cat!

6:19 pm

Oops! Kind of said a word in my last post.

6:19 pm

more

6:19 pm

oops

6:20 pm

Haz - Homely Cat won't ever get fat 'cos Hunting Cat pinches her food every chance he gets!

6:20 pm

aknitter - No! LOL. Homely Cat is Kira and Hunting Cat is Tiggsey.

6:21 pm

However, when they weave around my legs when I'm trying to walk about, or shoot out so I trip over them, their names change to 'That Cooking Fat!' (think about it...) and other such names.

6:21 pm

i was beginning to wonder what kind of cat mommy you were ! I have a friend with 2 rabbits -- cassie (short for casserole) and stewart AKA stew!!

6:22 pm

aknitter - Aw! That's mean! It's like calling your pet lamb Mint Sauce or your little piggy Apple Sauce.

6:23 pm

eeewwww

hi emceleste! did you finish the grid?

7:12 pm

(lol)

7:13 pm

no... not yet.. just got here a bit ago

7:13 pm

that's okay Jill -- some of the chapters are better than others, today's is mediocre, but at least it advances it somewhat.

7:13 pm

well, hop to it, emceleste, and I'll be back later... :-) see you all! *poof*

7:14 pm

I won't see you at fliptime -- bridge night -- and won't have time to babble tomorrow -- taking a sight-impaired friend to Victoria for shopping

7:16 pm

my friend fed my kitten an anchovie the other day. what an idiot... hellooooo! they were salted! :o(

7:16 pm

can't stand them anywhere near me. With their beady little eyes.

7:17 pm

thx jilli, think that was in the grid a couple of weeks ago

7:17 pm

24 left and totally bogged down. Ho hum

7:18 pm

I've never seen eyes on anchovies -- just fillets

7:18 pm

yw, andree

7:18 pm

It's ok jilli.... I thought I had 28 words left!

7:19 pm

But it turns out that I have 100 left. :D So, it could be worse... hehe

7:19 pm

okay, so maybe I just think they're staring at me(-: Not many things I could not eat to be polite, but anchovies qualify.

7:19 pm

I'm that way with kidneys, eva

7:19 pm

Well, at last, I have Fireworks.

7:20 pm

yup-kidneys would do it too. Maybe we should do an icon day with food you wouldn't eat on a bet

7:20 pm

wtg exwren

7:20 pm

YAY ExWren!!!

7:20 pm

congrats!

7:20 pm

7:22 pm

I love most food, my size would prove that, but I could not eat curry, ginger, coconut or anything that looks at me: ie fish! Fish is OK if it is battered

7:22 pm

snails

7:22 pm

hehe... no one can complain about that one. that was one of the few things my ex-fiance's family didn't mind that I didn't enjoy on jewish holidays.

7:22 pm

I can't stand peanut butter and jelly

7:22 pm

Hi! I'm back for a while.

7:22 pm

snails-ew

7:22 pm

but I loooove peanut butter and pickleS!!! (might be pregnant tho, hau!)

7:23 pm

7:23 pm

yuuuccch

7:23 pm

peanut butter & PICKLES? Bleurgh!

7:24 pm

My dad made me try it! it was really good! (depends on the pickle though... has to be Bubbies!)

7:24 pm

definitly must be pregnant

7:24 pm

chocolate covered maggots, spiders and crickets

7:24 pm

Oh yes, cockles and Mussels, eels and tripe, snails - did I say I like most food? It seems like I am more choosey that I thought

7:25 pm

kaftba wins...... can't touch those ( and I have tried)

7:25 pm

sharks fin soup ugh

7:25 pm

I cannot imagine swallowing an oyster/clam, anything of that ilk

7:25 pm

Even pregnancy doesn't excuse peanut butter & pickles! LOL. Pregnancy no. 1, I crave fresh orange juice. (Son, child 1, now loves the stuff.) Pregnancy no. 2, I craved Perrier Water. (Daughter, child2, became anorectic at 12/13.) Well, we won't go into that.

7:25 pm

Makes you think though, doesn't it?

7:25 pm

what is kaftba?

7:26 pm

Ka&Ba

7:26 pm

Hi ExWren. I smiled when I saw your icon up again much earlier.

7:26 pm

ka and ba are egyptian deity sort of life and death

7:26 pm

oh yes.

7:26 pm

My borther-in-law has a whole notebook page of loathings -- like cream cheese, yogurt, lemon. pumpernickel, rare or medium beef, tofu,zucchini, artichokes, parsnips, any salad, yams, hollandaise sauce, rhubarb, long-grain rice, milk chocolate, etc. etc. etc.

7:27 pm

I guess I should have said bother-in-law!

7:27 pm

I get many compliments about it Jacula, but I always give you the credit

7:27 pm

sorry... my eyes are blending letters

7:27 pm

jilli - remind me never to try to cater for your bro-in-law!

7:27 pm

glad I am not his wife, what a pain to cook for

7:28 pm

Aww, Wren. Thank you!xx

7:28 pm

Fireworks...

wtg angelsong

7:28 pm

Well done, Angel!

7:28 pm

yay angel

7:28 pm

My friend was married to a man who would only each processed peas, no other vegetable at all.

7:28 pm

Congrats, Angel!!

7:28 pm

congrats Angel

7:29 pm

Wren, no? AARGH!

7:29 pm

sorry I meant eat

7:29 pm

bother-in-law won't eat ginger either.

7:29 pm

The fresh fruit & veg part of my supermarket trolley far outweighs any other shopping every week.

7:30 pm

otherwise he's a great guy and lots of fun!

7:30 pm

jilli - If bother-in-law wasn't a spelling mistake, it's a great name for him!

7:30 pm

I've just coined that, jac

7:30 pm

ooh fun icons today - is maps the theme?

7:31 pm

last ? mu4/6 and 5/14 ? combo please

7:31 pm

I do HATE catering for fussy eaters!

7:31 pm

Countries, Leslie

7:31 pm

oh ok. is that babblonia, jac?

7:31 pm

LeslieAnn - theme is countries, I think.

7:32 pm

mu -- not off; then plural

7:32 pm

Andree - mu4 & pl. 5 = mu + not 'off'.

7:32 pm

jac, I have a cousin who's a fusser too. I've kept a notebook for such people!

7:32 pm

My favourite cake when I was a child was caramel cake... my mom made this finnish cake soooo well! but at my 7th or 8th birthday, one of my friends said "I don't liiiiiiiike coconut! this is coconut!!!".. of course, it wasn

7:32 pm

but all the rest of the kids joined in with "eeeeew... coconut...." anddidn't eat another bite. My mom is STILL offended.. lol

7:33 pm

LeslieAnn - You're not the first to ask that today! It wasn't, it was an icon I did yesterday when ren8 said she was getting her teeth into the grid and I then asked her not to chew it. LOL.

7:33 pm

and I don't talk to any of those so called "friends" anymore... psh... ;o)

7:33 pm

jilli - You must be a saint!

7:34 pm

thx ka and jac

7:34 pm

i'm mean..... If it isn't a food allergy,, i don't cater for fussy.

7:34 pm

well it's multi-purpose then. you're a genius!

7:35 pm

hey hey hey!

7:35 pm

my mother used to tell picky eaters if they wanted it their way to go to Burgher King

7:35 pm

my mother is greek and when we came to Aus over 50 years ago I had to recount everyday at school what we had for dinner so everyone could go yuk

7:36 pm

LeslieAnn - I wish my teachers had thought that when they wrote my school reports.

7:36 pm

Here's a boring food story. When I was about 9 and living in Shanghai, I got dysentery and had to go to hospital where I was fed red jelly and enemas and got to detest both. After I was cured I was invited to a birthday party where the "treat" was red jelly. I was aghast and asked my mother if I had to eat it to be polite because it made me feel sick. She murmured to the hostess, and thank goodness, I was excused and could ust enjoy the cake.

7:36 pm

I come from a large, poor family.. you ate what you were given or you went without

7:36 pm

now the all beat their way to the resaurants and delis to eat that same yuk

7:36 pm

*clears throat and tries to greet everyone again* - - i said HEY!

7:36 pm

hi evan

7:37 pm

HEY THERE nutty!!!

7:41 pm

I only nipped away for a moment and there's been a burst of food-related nd clue activity on here. I'm a bit lost at present...

7:42 pm

eu8 -- eu + a ** mode + charlie **** with diff vowel -- pl for the 9

7:42 pm

thx mymuse

7:43 pm

en 5/12 please

7:43 pm

capemaggie you forgot eating

7:43 pm

7:43 pm

Andree - Babble word for really big (but shortened).

7:44 pm

en 5 was in yesterday's grid, e + no 4

7:44 pm

e -- add ****an vincent peale

7:44 pm

thx jac and mymuse

7:44 pm

Or, Andree, try e + Edna E's hubby.

7:44 pm

damn -- I have to go and grab a bite before bridge. Will have a look after the flip but won't be able to babble tomorrow -- busy all day and into the evening. I wonder if I'll survive!

7:45 pm

Ah, you got it, Andree. Good.

7:45 pm

Hi everyone. jilibus, I tried to follow your clue. I have 12 left and the three eu-words are among them. Could you clue for idiots, Please?

7:45 pm

7:46 pm

7:46 pm

nut - a southpaw cat? Like me??

7:46 pm

got the charlie **** and pl., but the third one is making me crazy.

7:46 pm

got the eu8 but can't figure out he plural

7:46 pm

emceleste - when i point at him, he'll only swipe with his left paw.

7:46 pm

eu 8 (1st one) ---- add you tie the ***es on you shoes with your two h***s

7:47 pm

eu 8: eu + arsenic and old ***e + did you wash your ***ds?

7:47 pm

Well, I did try. Start with eu. Add the asterisks in "pie a ** mode". Then add ch4/6.

7:47 pm

maybe he's hurted! aww.. :P

7:47 pm

capemaggie - the eu9 is the plural of the 2nd eu8.

7:47 pm

the second eu --- change the last vowel and plural

7:47 pm

I still don't get the eu... because charlie _?___ only makes me think of the charlie stalker guy following me right now

7:47 pm

or the one with the messed up christmas tree

7:48 pm

emc - you have a stalker??

7:48 pm

thanks KA

7:48 pm

commas are good. are you pointing at his left side, nut?

7:49 pm

emceleste -- see mine at 7:47 for the 2nd eu. The first one is the same but with vowel #1 at the end. Charlie **** was a Chinese detective in old movies.

7:50 pm

hey leslie, just looked at your slide show...you made a fabuloso bride!

7:50 pm

aw thanks nutty

7:50 pm

eu8/55 - 1st one = eu + French feminine 'the' + Jackie Ch**N (comedy kung fu actor)

7:50 pm

and i'm pointing straight at his liddle nose.

7:51 pm

awww

7:51 pm

Well, I gotta go... see you after tomorrow's flip or maybe before it... bye!

7:51 pm

7:53 pm

thx ka , looking in wrong direction as usual

7:53 pm

y/w, Erda.

7:53 pm

i love stick bugs....ichy could use a stick bug for a boyfriend.

7:53 pm

alls well that ends well

7:55 pm

Two parrots were sitting on a perch.

7:55 pm

The male stick insect copulates for 10 weeks!

7:55 pm

Apparently.

7:55 pm

One said to the other, "It smells fishy around here."

7:55 pm

wow that's quite a punchline

7:55 pm

oh hey now jac,...alls well that ends well and all that!

7:56 pm

If it's true, he lasts for longer than the male ladybird!

7:56 pm

lucky b*st*rd

7:56 pm

Nut - LOL.

7:56 pm

rh8 anyone?

7:57 pm

wonder if the she stick bug bites his head off like the preying mantis?

7:57 pm

hahaha.... no, seriously... can I give that stick bug thing to my cat!?!?

7:57 pm

aaaah!

7:57 pm

I HATE BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:57 pm

rh -- not off and grids can be ****lenging

7:57 pm

I'm still not sure if the male stick insect spends 10 weeks sleeping around or, once he's found a mate, she's stuck with him (or to him) for 10 weeks. LOL.

7:58 pm

Spiders are the worst... but I couldn't touch nunchie if she played with that shh...

7:58 pm

that stick has no head. is that unusual? it still moves thogh?

7:58 pm

i was wondering if the male stick spends part of that time by himself.

7:58 pm

I'm in california right now, so it's not a finnish stick bug (I don't think we have them in finland)

7:58 pm

i think after ten weeks, i'd personally take his head off.

7:58 pm

nut - I agree! LOL

7:59 pm

i mean...he'd have nothing more to live for anyway right?

7:59 pm

I mean, I've listened to the Pointer Sisters' 'Slow Hand' song and agreed with it... but there are limits!

8:00 pm

seriously. 8 a words?

8:00 pm

and then...nevermind...i was going to cross the line.

8:00 pm

hu4/7 please, not song one

8:00 pm

10 a words

8:00 pm

LeslieAnn - 10 a words.

8:00 pm

blah!

8:00 pm

maybe bring in dr kervorkian for the stick

8:01 pm

hu4/7 (not song one) 'German' + consonant.

8:01 pm

hu 4 - attilla the *u* add the last consonant first

8:02 pm

ok, Nunchucks and I just went to check out the sitch... and that stick DOES have a very very small head. and Nunchie had no interest. But I will not be out on that porch for a smoke break.

8:02 pm

nut - (((HUGS)) Know what you meant.

8:02 pm

It's hard to be 'good' at times.

8:02 pm

tha ka and jac

8:03 pm

Haz told us all something very funny a couple of days ago on here. Hope I remember it correctly. It seems the powers that be in Northern Ireland decided lots of official forms should be 'PC', and wanted to write them in all the known languages there, on of which is a Scots cum Irish language that is never seen written, only spoken. They came to a halt on that one when it came to a form about 'mentally disabled children'; it translated as 'Wee Daftie Weans'.

10:35 pm

glad to finish today. Wasn't sure the power was going to stay on... looks like we're okay for now, though.

10:35 pm

are you having storms?

10:35 pm

I want to see "chicanery" in a grid one of these days...

10:35 pm

we have had rain and wind off and on for two weeks helen! It's been interesting.

10:36 pm

there has been serious flooding in some places, Seattle has had more than a foot of rain so far this month *sound of records shattering right and left* and we have more than a week to go...

10:37 pm

sounds exciting - we've just been kinda cold here

10:37 pm

stidmama, do you mind if I ask were you live? Is it in the Pacific NW?

10:37 pm

I am glad that the worst we seem to experience has been a few hours without power.

10:38 pm

yes, pom -- near Puget Sound

10:39 pm

We lived in Kent for two year. I worked in Pioneer Square. Used to park in the Kingdome parking lot! :) We also lived in Forks on the Olympic Penisula. So beautiful there.

10:39 pm

right now, I think I would be okay with cold instead of rain... though usually I don't do well in it. My sister in law doesn't seem to mind, she just bundles up the kids and goes out anyway. Doesn't live IN chicago but near there.

10:39 pm

hiya pom!

10:40 pm

Hi Helen. How are you tonight? :)

10:40 pm

:-) now the Kingdome parking lot is the baseball stadium and the Kingdome is the football stadium! Things have changed a bit... Forks is lovely! But right now, we're ALL soggy!

10:41 pm

so pom, what was the draw in North Dakota? work?

10:42 pm

I think it's one of the few contiguous states I haven't been through!

10:42 pm

I know -- it made me sad to see the dome go, but the new stadiums are nice. We've taken in several games at Safeco. It makes me sad to see all the flooding. My husband is a men's basketball coach and teacher at the university here. Don't know how this city girl ended up in ND Badlands. I guess someone has to live here! lol

10:43 pm

pom, good, tired, went to house warming yesterday where 2 poms (8 months & 11 weeks old) live & brought mine - it was a regular pom-fest!

10:44 pm

We have a 6 mo. old Brittany Spaniel who thinks she's a pom! lol When I get home she stands on her hind legs and dances like the girls do. :) Poms are so fun to watch play. We laugh all the time at them. :)

10:44 pm

I'll bet that 11 wk old was adorable!!

10:45 pm

LOL sounds like powder puff power, gals!

10:46 pm

so your husband must be a pretty tall fellow, pom! bet you don't need to climb on a chair to change lighbulbs!

10:47 pm

He's 6'4" and I'm only 5'4". Whenever I have to find something he had last I look up on the high place like on top of the fridge! lol

10:48 pm

It's also great for painting rooms -- no ladder needed. :)

10:49 pm

*grin* well, if you come this-away again, let me know! I have some light fixtures that want dusting...

10:49 pm

yeah - the baby was a reall cutie - with a huge personality!

10:49 pm

Sure thing stid! lol

10:50 pm

i gotta go for now, may see you at the flip, later :)

10:50 pm

later helen, thanks so much for the help! *sending puppy greetings from big and little dogs*

10:50 pm

Helen, isn't the the fun things about poms? Nobody has ever told them they are little! My Syndey at 4 1/2 lbs. puts the whoop on my son's 80 lb. Golden Lab pup!

10:50 pm

10:52 pm

10:53 pm

11:35 pm

11:36 pm

Taxes...Challenging work!

Working at H & R Block was my second job for five years until I got pregnant with Tea. I worked in the busiest office in town, and even did taxes in Spanish. I'm working at a much more sedate office, soit should be fun!
