I only have 2 french kings

1:06 am

english gas or french gas, vedaman?

1:06 am

my morning exercise has been cancelled tho

1:07 am

there are 4 french kings

1:07 am

how many points? -- is it a ga?

1:07 am

disregard my clue, c. "to convert from a liquid" is a far superior one.

1:07 am

I'm not on a main road and can't handle shovelling my driveway

1:07 am

ga 6/39

1:08 am

two french kings and two lieutenants

1:08 am

I know, chj -- too unimaginative to get more than 2 spellings

1:08 am

now I'm really confused!!!

1:08 am

alpha numeric for the g 6, please?

1:09 am

they all four sound the same

1:09 am

actually the one with the s had a slightly different pronunciation

omg...osage isn't in the dictionary???????

1:10 am

*scratching head*

1:10 am

proper name, isn't it?

1:10 am

zl5/20?

Osage is a type of tree....very common in the making of bows (archery) and other things.

Osage Orange particularly.

1:10 am

pleeeeeeeeeeeeese --- alpha numeric for the g 6?

1:11 am

lo5 english bathroom + see **e to **e

1:11 am

ga6/39

1:11 am

cnan: ga6/39

looe

lol

1:11 am

lo5 english bathroom + latin abbr for that is

1:11 am

OH, ok, english bathroom...

1:12 am

mkl: z + a *** or a little + vowel

1:12 am

i think the zl5 is a polish currency

1:12 am

one uses the sometimes vowel

1:12 am

I think I only got the zl because of my czech grandmother

1:13 am

good morning babblers, hope you all had a good weekend

1:13 am

I am inundated with fish -- finally gottem, duh -- thanks chj and andree

1:13 am

1:13 am

hi sapphie -- having a snowy weekend here!

1:14 am

hi sapphie

1:14 am

1:14 am

hi sapphie

1:14 am

only thing I can thik of is vapourize!

1:14 am

1:14 am

bye MVA

1:14 am

Thanks so much. Even with the cluesI had to monkey typre it.

gaul isn't in the dictionary either?

1:15 am

gall?

oh, was thinking of Latin spelling.

1:15 am

cnan: ga + snake + no **s ands or buts + sometimes vowel

1:16 am

your little "man"is very cute sunny

1:16 am

oh sunny, what a lovely little boy -- and he looks happy too. Little ones are so resilient!

1:16 am

i haven't heard anyone talk about the 9 yet... can someone give me a definition clue?

1:16 am

thanks vedaman -- I was going in the wrong direction, trying to use the z!

1:16 am

morning whispers: add a letter to the end of that word

1:17 am

ho5/16 please

1:17 am

that's a finish for me :)

Well, if nobody needs any more clues, I'm gonna run.

1:56 am

ga6/39 is to transform a liquid into a more ephemeral form

2:11 am

thanks jilli!

2:11 am

2:11 am

zl5 starts off trying to be Polish money, but ends up being something cast in an election.

2:11 am

2:12 am

;-)

2:12 am

2:13 am

Thanks, Fran. I'm looking ...

2:13 am

how many points is the F9?

2:14 am

2:14 am

f9 -- starts with thw sunshine stae abbr. Add National ***graphic. Add "allow" or "lease"

2:14 am

2:14 am

2:14 am

2:14 am

2:15 am

F9 - thanks to great clue before! fl*** - a rock/stone + american classic car - a chevr****

4:12 am

thanks fran

4:12 am

yw oggy

4:15 am

lo5 plz

4:15 am

oggy, all the lo5s sound like a king of france.

4:15 am

Hang a lo*** at the next light.

4:15 am

just spelled different ways

4:16 am

Oggy - there are 4 of them that sound like the Sun King. I have three of them. lo5/12 - the proper spelling, lo5/12 - change the last letter, lo5/10 - looking like a British toilet with vowels attached

4:17 am

hi haz!

4:17 am

Hello Franmag - are you well?

4:17 am

i have 11 left and for the life of me can't imagine what they could be

4:17 am

only 4s and 5s left!

4:18 am

4:18 am

yay oggy!!!

4:18 am

Time to get even more imaginative than usual!

4:18 am

Congratulations oggy.

congrats oggy!

4:19 am

these small grids are tough

4:20 am

they sure are oggy!

4:20 am

need any help fran if i can

4:21 am

thanks oggy, haven't gone to the list yet, so i wouldn't know what to ask for.

4:21 am

ok

4:22 am

i like to torture myself for as long as possible before going to the list! :-)

4:22 am

im off then, work calling.

4:23 am

bye oggy!

4:23 am

Bye oggy, have a good day.

4:24 am

finally found the last G!

4:25 am

So, only t words to tantalize now?

4:26 am

nope, still all over the place, 7 words left now, A,T,L & S still to grey out

4:27 am

Sorry - I must have been thinking of someone else. Still, you've got variety there!

4:27 am

Hi everyone - been lurking off and on for a while -rotten words but great cluing as usual!!

4:27 am

hi jfb!

4:27 am

Good morning JFB.

4:28 am

i can't clear the grid methodically the way some people do, i'm always all over the grid.

4:28 am

*thinks* Should cluing have an E or not**

4:28 am

I use an e, JFB, but always have a debate with myself...

4:28 am

Morning Haz

4:29 am

it looks right without the E though

4:29 am

Fran - I'm with you. If I see a word I put it in, no matter where it is.

4:29 am

both work in the grid

4:29 am

Thats the way I do it as well

4:31 am

Thats my time up for a while - off to clear out the spare bedroom. You can tell I'm a working wife on holiday can't you!!

4:32 am

Have fun. Spare bedrooms have a remarkable capacity to become dumping grounds!

4:32 am

bye jfb!

4:33 am

Don't they just! we've visitors soon so it has to be done. I'm organising a surprise 60th. birthday bash for my husband and need some where to put guests

4:35 am

Isn't he going to ask questions when he sees the spare bedroom ready for guests? But a lovely idea for him. (I always find the garage a useful dumping ground as well)

4:36 am

The chances are he won't even notice but he's used to me getting these sudden bright ideas - he ought to be - its our 36th wedding anniversery the day after his birthday!

4:37 am

Oh good idea - he's unlikely to forget his wedding anniversary with those dates.

4:37 am

jfb, our anniversary is on my husband's birthday! we did that so he would remember.

4:38 am

As soon as his birthday cards start arriving he buys an anniversary card!!

4:38 am

see! it works

4:39 am

Our daughter was born inDecember as well so we always end up with more cards than Clintons!

4:47 am

yay! done!

4:47 am

Congratulations!

4:48 am

went to the list for last 4, couldn't stand it anymore!

4:48 am

any clues before i go to bed?

4:49 am

I'm at the same stage you were a while ago - 12 to go but don't know what to ask for!

4:50 am

I usually succumb earlier than this (I'm the sort who reads the end of detective stories because I can't stand the suspense)

4:50 am

lol

4:51 am

once you get the list i'm sure you'll whiz right through the last ones.

4:51 am

well good night haz and spangles! it seems we're the only ones here.

4:51 am

I'm looking through the chat log to find clues for some of them. Once I've exhausted that, it'll be the list for me.

4:52 am

Sleep wel, FranMag - Spangle is snoring happily away. Soon I'll be the only one awake around here....

4:52 am

the 9 is a great word, i'm tucking it away for future use.

4:52 am

need some help with the last 4 - ga6/39, the 2nd gl5/24,lo5/10 & lo5/14? any takers?

4:53 am

ga6/39 - is to turn a liquid into another form

4:53 am

The second gl5/24 changes the vowel in the middle of the first one

4:53 am

lo5/10 - a British toilet plus 2 vowels to make it sound like the Sun King.

4:54 am

lo5/14 - British toilet plus the first two letters of the seeing organ

4:55 am

thx people

4:55 am

You're welcome, Crone.

5:04 am

mornin everyone...

5:04 am

Good morning pida.

5:04 am

nite Fran, if you're not already gone

5:05 am

small grid, but looks like some tough words. I've got 10 minutes before I leave for work, so I'm going to dive in.

5:06 am

Enjoy!

5:06 am

haz if you're still there could you clue ga6/39 again for me please - last word.

hi pida

5:06 am

mornin metal

5:07 am

ga6/39 - to make a liquid into a more vapourous form. Think of petrol and put on the ending used with de to make something godlike.

5:11 am

thx

5:12 am

You're welcome - and congratulations on finishing.

you're done Crone? hooray Crone!!

5:12 am

Time to do other things. Happy hunting to all.

have a good day Haz

5:16 am

Yay - finished. The break worked

yayyy lynxxx!

5:17 am

Does anyone want any clues before I go?

I need clues, but am stubborn this morning... going to try to tough it out on my own... well, with Lickety's list

thank you for the offer though

5:20 am

I'm sure you'll get through it. I made it without a list - but of course with clues scattered through the chat. See you later Metal.

'bye for now lynxxx, have a great afternoon (do I have the time approximately correct?)

5:23 am

G'd Morning all! I'm so proud of me, I got the 9 letter word by myself. Can I have a word total please?

good morning Lori, congrats on the 9... 78 today

5:24 am

It's my first time. It feels pretty good.

it's quite a boost or so I've heard

5:25 am

LOL It may be my only time, so....

grin... don't sell yourself short... and enjoy the good times...

5:32 am

Fireworks - short and sweet today

hooray spellit!

5:32 am

Congrats spellit!

5:49 am

good morning everyone

5:50 am

G'd Morning Eva

5:50 am

I keep thinking I have the nine-a bean-but then can't get the spelling right

5:50 am

so maybe it's not the bean?

5:51 am

good morning all,hi Eva

5:51 am

Eva a french bean? Yes.

5:51 am

hmmm. Then why can't I get it? have to keep trying alt spellings

5:52 am

got it! Thanks for the confirmation lori

5:52 am

G'd Morning hodag

5:53 am

Try an e as last vowel

5:53 am

that's what I was doing wrong liz-using the o instead of the e

5:53 am

I know it's wrong, but hey, this is Babble, huh!!

good morning liz, Eva, hodag

sorry to be slow greeting, I got distracted by TV

5:54 am

yes, never seen it like that

5:54 am

morning metal

5:54 am

morning!

5:55 am

hi ya Lori and metal.&Lizmac

5:55 am

I'm finding this grid really difficult, nothing's where it should be!

5:55 am

it's annoying me to lilz

5:56 am

I am struggling too this morning

5:56 am

Me too. For me, it's harder than it looks.

good morning spanner

5:56 am

Morning each

5:58 am

Hi everyone. Please could I have a clue for the fl9 - not getting the bean

5:59 am

hi Blit

5:59 am

&Sspanner

6:00 am

biltong-reallyhard to clue without spelling out-starts with the red white and blue-you might want to google french beans and then change the last vowel

6:00 am

ty, eva

6:00 am

maybe someone else will come up with a better clue

6:01 am

no problem, I'll hunt for it. The french bean in your clue helps

6:02 am

how about it ends like the full name of a soft top car or ends like full name of Chev motor car

6:02 am

Bilt fl ours is red/white & blue/2nd vowel /4th vowel/ then to allow

6:02 am

fl = the fl 4/9 + ch*vr****

6:03 am

Hello all - tough grid this one i think

6:03 am

hi ursh

6:04 am

Thanks I got the french bean..

6:04 am

G'd morning ursh, and anyone I missed.

6:06 am

78 words, LoriP

6:06 am

Thank ye. 4 left. Argg

6:06 am

How many do you have, Lori?

(i can usually find at least 50% of the words before resorting to clues, but I'm stuck at 44%)

6:06 am

Oh, not too bad to be at the hair pulling stage with only 4 to go, lol

6:07 am

This one really suckered me when I started, I was feeling all smug and such. Not now though...

6:08 am

lol, LoriP. Came down with a bump, did you?

hi Bilt, Ursh, DocGwen

6:08 am

6:14 am

LOL wurdy, you could be right

6:14 am

Hi mo

6:14 am

yes-but I notice the past tense in your message metal.....

yes, the z's are past tense, and the G's have taken their places

6:15 am

metal-how about undying(at least for the moment) gratitude?

think lots of vowels in a row for the Z's

want specific clues? or just a general sense of things?

6:16 am

specific would be nice at this point

6:16 am

Gotta go, happy babbling all

6:32 am

Hi Dorens, and pretty Phoebe

6:33 am

She is going to Berlin today

6:33 am

aww, for how long Dorens?

hi Dorens

6:34 am

just a week... my son is going to speak at a medical conference, and he decided he could take along the family and make it into her first overseas trip

6:34 am

time to go,its a rainy day so I think I'll make a pot of turkey soup and home-made noodles for dinner. See ya.........~poof~

6:34 am

bye hodag.

sounds like a good meal hodag, maybe add a green salad too?

6:35 am

interesting icon there metal

6:35 am

please clue the two ag words

ty Dorens, I was told today's theme is Native American Heritage and I've always had an affinity for the Syllabary

6:37 am

I had never heard of it..

here ya go ursh: the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft ag5/14

although it sounds like a tiny "bald" american bird/symbol, the ag5/14 (second one) is actually the tip of a shoelace

6:38 am

hmmm we could almost have igloo here... speaking of native american heritage...

6:39 am

ok ty metal got shoelace working on mice and men

6:40 am

i don't know what it means if I could guess that second ag 5/14 right away from your clue there....either you're a great cluer or I've been playing babble too long

yw ursh.... it's from the writings of Robert Burns and is usually spelled with a Y at the end, but not this time

6:40 am

ursh, ag + three letter name that could be male or female

6:41 am

omg Doreen is that ur grandbaby?

I'm not that great at cluing, so it must be that you've been babbling too long

6:41 am

yup--- a real heartbreaker, Shorty!

6:41 am

he is waaaaaaaaaaaay to cute!!!

6:41 am

GOOD morning everybody!

oooh, here's another way to think of the first ag: ag + Robert E. * * *

6:42 am

ty metal and dorens

hi shorty, Charm

6:42 am

thanks shorty, I feel the same way about her....hi Charm

6:42 am

Hey, metaleather, Dorens

6:42 am

sorry! Her

6:44 am

The "alternate" spellings in Babble can be really outrageous.

6:44 am

have 14 left to find all stinkers - bbl to hopefully finish

absolutely true liz...

6:44 am

i know liz, I'm at the point where I will type in just about anything cause, hey, you never know!

6:45 am

not liking this grid today, but what can you do? I am off to work now....be back later

7:36 am

fl 9 - you wave a fl** on 4th of July + 2nd & 4th vowel + stick + 2nd vowel + cross

7:36 am

I don't drink coffee....and usually quite chipper in the morning-just life being life in its own way today

7:37 am

oreo should come home today if he stops draining - he bit through the IV and is clearly ready to come home.

7:37 am

Eva needs a great Big (((((HUG))))

7:37 am

Is Oreo a cat or a dog?

7:37 am

fl9 --- start with the abbr for a southeastern US state with a panhandle .... add the Earth science: ***ology and end with what is called when a tennis serve hits the net.

7:37 am

Eva, went that way many time, life interferring with life {{{{{hugs}}}}}

hi Alien...and all....

7:55 am

Hi Inge2 & Alien

7:57 am

***word***

7:58 am

Thanks for wishing me luck, Wolvie. Yeah, Alien, I agree. (Sorry, wandered off for a while there).

7:58 am

7:58 am

Annie, love that portrait (icon today).

7:59 am

7:59 am

Ankh, thanks! and I would also like to wish you luck on 12/5...everything will be fine

7:59 am

oooh, good clue Alien and Enemy

8:00 am

Thanks, Annie. I had one done 7 years ago which hurt; they tell me that techniques have improved and this one won't hurt. I'm kind of excited about it; they'll implant a lens with lots of correction so I won't wake up blind... as I have since age 7! Blind w/o glasses, that is.

8:01 am

*stumped by --ify word(s)*

8:01 am

think fuel for car, ankh. (I gather you're having a cataract operation?)

8:12 am

a man's , plus a hump letter kk - like a slang term for a man's stuff

8:12 am

8:13 am

Like a dialect version of "hers" except male

8:14 am

opposite of hern

11:10 am

no snow. 60 degree weather

11:10 am

brb

11:10 am

oh kl, sounds delightful

11:10 am

we are expecting it to go from 60 degree weather to 30 and snow on Thursday, tho

11:10 am

oh man, flosey -- and that's not bad klaurel, my Tom's niece will at least get to play outside!

11:10 am

but the sun is going away, so, it is chilling a little

11:11 am

we just put the fires on, light candles when needed, and enjoy the silence!!

11:12 am

we do hav a generator that kicks in to protect freezers, water supply, etec

11:12 am

I like it when the power goes out and it's quiet. But we need a generator for the well, so that blows it pretty quick! and also for heat...

11:13 am

yes, the silence - together with the pristine snow is so beautiful

11:13 am

:) I could live without the snow, tho

11:13 am

never pristine for long here, not with my dogs! LOL

11:14 am

I don't mind the snow -- but does it have to be so cold?

11:14 am

ah, our dog goes out and rolls in it for a while but she's getting old so not too much!

11:15 am

yeah, but you can bundle up against hte codl

11:15 am

11:15 am

I was use to far more cold back in Ontario Stid, so this is mild by comparison

11:15 am

it was SUCH a change to go to the tree farm to chop a tree in SIXTY degree weather, it was SOOOO nice

11:16 am

and do, klaurel! I am inside with long johns, warm socks and slippers, turtleneck and cozy sweater!

11:16 am

lol kl, when we moved here we planted a corner of the property in christmas trees, we don't kill the tree, just top it

11:17 am

yes, I know the mid-section of the continent gets a lot colder and nastier weather than we spoiled folks on the Puget Sound and Straight of Juan de Fuca!

11:17 am

1:18 pm

Anything science related filters in one side of my brain and quickly departs through the other and is absorbed by my bloodstream not my brain.

1:18 pm

1:19 pm

Uh oh, flosey has hit my guilt button. Must ....resist ...housework.

1:20 pm

good reason indeed, flosey! though I am sure your home as it is right now is way better than mine (avoiding vacuuming as long as possible)

no - i have ga4 x4; ga5; ga6

1:20 pm

lol Lori - it takes quite a bit of insentive to get me to it

1:20 pm

haven't seen this daughter since last Christmas

1:21 pm

there are five ga 4

1:21 pm

1:22 pm

right Lori, she isn't inclined that way, but you know 'first impressions' for new bf!!

1:22 pm

no, she works in Vancouver stid, ridiculously close !!

1:22 pm

but we all get so busy

1:22 pm

Helen?

1:23 pm

she does homecare work and because she's single takes a lot of holidays and weekend time

1:23 pm

to free up young moms, etec

1:23 pm

1:24 pm

bless her heart -- you brought her up right, flosey!

1:24 pm

yes stid, we do have float planes that come over but a bit expensive

1:24 pm

1:24 pm

thanks stid, sweet of you to say

1:25 pm

hello babblers!

1:25 pm

1:25 pm

*peeking out from behind a hill of cat hair*

3:46 pm

i know, but annoying children are best ignored

3:46 pm

*POOF*

3:46 pm

agreed

3:46 pm

eventually they get bored and go away

3:47 pm

I I agree--please don't respond to those kids--they've been on all day, it seems.

3:47 pm

lol.......there's something to be said for short attention spans

3:48 pm

3:49 pm

Thanks, Kalea--not a bad back yard to have

3:51 pm

3:51 pm

HI

3:52 pm

hello Dark

3:52 pm

English (what else?)

3:52 pm

lol

3:52 pm

hi kalea

3:53 pm

that's quite a leap from english teacher to priesthood

3:53 pm

Do you think so? I sometimes wonder if it's an inevitalbe trajectory (for me)

3:54 pm

*inevitable

3:55 pm

maybe so.......my hubby had a music degree when he went to theology school.......he's been an anglican priest for 25 years

3:56 pm

Really! Wonderful coincidence, then, meeting you here. I'm not usually on this time of day.

3:56 pm

I know one of the 6s is a GA, what's the other?

3:56 pm

i tend to flit in and out, but it's a pleasure meeting you

3:56 pm

Great icons, you two. Cathyar, did you get Dr God or did the kids leave on their own?

3:57 pm

3:58 pm

Hi Ankhorite

3:59 pm

Well, only from the usual suspects. She is quite wonderful.

3:59 pm

ga6............petrol + magn***ing glass

3:59 pm

Miranda, what's her surname? I want to go look her up.

3:59 pm

i've heard that miranda........hope she weathers the storms ahead

3:59 pm

Thanks Ankhorite.

4:00 pm

Katherine Jefferts Schorri, ankh--oceanographer, airplane pilot, presiding bishop

4:01 pm

brb

4:03 pm

Oh, yes! Well, as you say -- all the best of luck to her and her whole faith.

4:03 pm

Thanks, Ankh

4:05 pm

If no one needs clues, I have laundry that needs folding -- all okay here?

4:06 pm

galous

4:06 pm

oops...not a word anyhow

4:06 pm

Not that we didn't all try it...

4:07 pm

lol

4:08 pm

tough grid today!

4:08 pm

i can't find the 6's, the 7 or the 8.

4:08 pm

some unusual words, to be sure

Hi all -just popped in to seee what is up and I see you are discussing the new bishop from my town.

4:09 pm

gl5/14 & gl5/16 please

4:09 pm

Cath, you can't find the 8 because there isn't one. Would you like clues for the 9?

4:09 pm

gl5/14......to revel in having won

4:09 pm

BettyAnne, maybe I gl*** cuz I'm finished and you're not!

4:10 pm

gl5/16......sugary coating for food

4:10 pm

Yes, we are, Tea--she just pops up everywhere!

4:10 pm

Betty, it's a type of cake frosting. GL + highest card in the deck.

4:10 pm

hiya Tea.........from your town, eh?

4:11 pm

Thank you all so much. You've been very helpful as always.

4:11 pm

"Bp." ?? Is that how you abbreviate Bishop? Is this unique to Anglicism? I have never seen it before.

4:11 pm

that helped me too

4:11 pm

lol...oops...i did mean the 9. and yes ank...i'd love a clue please? :)

4:11 pm

Hi Everybody, Just popping in to ask about BJ's list; does anyone know what happened to Brandyjack? Is he on vacation. Certainly hope he is not ill..

4:12 pm

sorry Aloy.....i don't know

4:12 pm

Yes--that the abbr. I didn't know it was particularly Anglican though

she does. She was at one of my dear friends's weddings and they were so enthralled and happy to have her there.

4:12 pm

loat

4:13 pm

i hear she's a lovely person

4:13 pm

dangit

the time that I met her, she was very nice and was so happy for this couple.

4:13 pm

clue for the other ag5? I have a + gl4/6

4:13 pm

lol Cath........add a consonant to the front

4:13 pm

ag + allow

4:13 pm

got that one kalea...it's what made me try it. lol

4:14 pm

Clue the 9: FL (banner) + ch*ver**** (the car brand)

4:14 pm

ahhhhhhhhh

4:14 pm

I'm wading through the sites which are angry about her. All that can be said for them is they sure are angry. *sigh*

4:14 pm

lol Ank

4:14 pm

ty ank...that IS a word i've heard of b4, but i'd never have found it alone.

4:15 pm

fl 9 -- start with the abbr for a southeastern US state with a panhandle --- add the abbr for the study of the Earth: ***logy .... and end with is called when a tennis serve touches the net

4:15 pm

YW, Cath. It's a weird one. I didn't come up with that clue myself, someone did it this morning and I thought it was the easiest.

4:15 pm

the US and Canada have both been censured many times for their stands on women and gays........may as well try for more......lol

the wikipedia article on her is a good one

4:16 pm

Enemy's clue is best if you want to work for your letters -- I get to the point where I'm just desperate. :)

4:17 pm

Tea & etc, here's a good history on the general topic: http://www.religioustolerance.o rg/femclrg14.htm

4:18 pm

But Ineed help understanding: "1855: The Bishop of Maryland "sets apart" two deaconesses" -- does that mean two women were honored, or two women got dumped? "sets apart" ??

4:18 pm

2nd gl5/24?

4:18 pm

Okay, I see "Bp" now, but have found another site which uses just + to indicate the title. Is that right? Is that common?

4:19 pm

Shmooz, sometimes my eyes gl*** over.

4:19 pm

gl5.....just change the first vowel, schmoo

4:19 pm

And if you have that, change the vowel.

4:19 pm

ty

4:20 pm

I remember the "Philadelphia Eleven." *sigh*

4:21 pm

gl5/20?

4:21 pm

gl5.......full of paste

4:22 pm

Ank, i have seen the + quite often

4:22 pm

Ankh--"sets apart" means they were granted that status

4:22 pm

hey roomies

4:22 pm

hey Ankh, did you get my email?

4:22 pm

hiya April

4:23 pm

hi

hi april, hi scatty

4:23 pm

Yes, April, I am looking for my photos to send you so you can diagnose the poor thing yourself. Thank you so much!

4:23 pm

hi tean

4:24 pm

Kalea, Miranda, thanks for the lessons in nomenclature!

4:24 pm

hello scatty

4:24 pm

Ankh, master gardener's are a real resource, and usually free

4:24 pm

hi kalea, isstid around

4:24 pm

ga5/16, anyone?

4:25 pm

Poor tree. :( It's been struggling since we moved here. Last year, many cones & fresh growth at the top; we hoped it meant a return to health, garden person said "death throes."

4:25 pm

sorry..........have to go tend my poor sick hubby.......see you all later

4:25 pm

Scatty, I haven't seen Stid yet today.

4:25 pm

Bye, Kalea!

4:25 pm

no scatty, she's not

4:25 pm

ank, did you change the soil,

4:25 pm

it happens Ankh...plants teach us the cycle of life

4:26 pm

she was around for a bit, not long though

4:27 pm

I just popped in to say hi, I got fireworks at like 1:30 this morning.

4:27 pm

Scatty, it's a 30 y o blue spruce -- changing the soil isn't going to happen. :(

4:27 pm

she might be on later. don't have the energy to sit here and do the grid tonight, will have a go tomorrow, be back later on

4:27 pm

Bye, Scatty -- this is an unpleasant grid anyway.

4:27 pm

can see what you mean ank

4:27 pm

Ankh, you mentioned a drought, but spruces are pretty tolerant of that, and the older ones find moisture deep down.

4:28 pm

A three-year drought -- we weren't here to help, it was just ending as we arrived. :(

4:28 pm

bye for now, need a comphy chare

4:28 pm

bye scatty

4:28 pm

comfy i mean

4:28 pm

Had to step out, Ankh--Most Episcopleans are pleased with the new bishop--our inclusive stance on women and gays and lesbians causes distress in the wider communion--that's probably where you're getting the vitriol--along with those parishes who have pulled away in the U.S. We remain firm in inclusivity.

4:28 pm

bye cluers, I will chat with you more about that later Ankh.

4:29 pm

Thanks again, April.

4:30 pm

Yeah, Miranda, I'm getting that only three dioceses are still being so harsh. Quincy, Illinois -- hey, I've been there. Quincy is not exactly a cutting-edge community on the human rights front. :(

4:32 pm

*still reading* Awww, you guys had a fuss about contraception? Where can I learn more about that?

4:34 pm

I don't know--not an issue now. Is that a Wikipedia article?

4:35 pm

No, I'm still on the website, which mentions it as an historic controversy. I didn't know Anglicans got whooped up about it, and would like to learn more.

4:36 pm

You must forgive me, but all these references to "primate" are a bit unsettling for someone whose default setting is "apes & monkeys."

4:37 pm

I know--it makes an interesting picture--the primate of the church--sorry I don't know about the contraception issue--it doesn't show up in the published histories, most of which I've read--that could be that it's not considered the biggie.

4:38 pm

Access to contraception is an issue in my (retired) professional life, that's why I'm so nosy. :)

4:40 pm

Ah!!! Not certain where you are, but it's a big issue in Utah, Ankh--even at the university, where students have to go to the health center to get stuff

4:41 pm

...for contraception

4:42 pm

yay...found the 7!

4:42 pm

anyone have ga5/16?

4:42 pm

I'm just outside DC, so we get all the federal politics about it; and went to Georgetown (R Cath) where it's a continual fuss, esp about selling contraception in school store.

4:43 pm

Schmooz... ga + ***erior motives

4:43 pm

gault

4:43 pm

Miranda, Dear One summons me to dinner! So I gotta go, but I'll bbl -- thanks so much for the education. POOF! for now!

4:43 pm

Same here--

4:43 pm

ooops crap

4:44 pm

7:56 pm

sorry to hear that, kalea. well, hope you'll soon bring him round to feeling fit! check out my icon for tomorrow, gals (and any guys who are online) I chose the least graphic pic I could find.

7:56 pm

My car was towed to Toyota and it's going to cost $500.00. All because a drunk pedestrian run into oncoming traffic and in order to avoid him and not kill him, I had to drive off the road.

7:56 pm

14 left but Heroes will be on in minutes. Good night!

7:56 pm

Sorry for the sudden disappearance. My daughter came down to talk to me about a disturbing e-mail she's just opened.

7:57 pm

thank you stid

7:57 pm

oh stid, that's similar to what hubbynut had done.

7:57 pm

It seems that some bureaucrat in the NHS has decided to cut funding to the clinic that saved her life.

7:57 pm

I won't go off about it here. But I'm as mad as hell, just like she is.

7:57 pm

hope it worked for hubby nut!

Anyway, the clinic staff are rounding ex-patients and parents up for support.

7:59 pm

Hi, Hodag.

7:59 pm

msilver, very sorry to hear about your wheels, that must have been so traumatic! I have dodged a few strange pedestrians in recent weeks also.

7:59 pm

aaaand...I'm out!

7:59 pm

stid, you may keep him unchecked till mid january.

7:59 pm

hello hodag!

7:59 pm

msilver - did you get the info about the pedestrian? Maybe you can take them to court for the costs. Reckless endangerment or something?

8:00 pm

okay, let me know if I need to put him on my "list" (actually maintain several lists... the kids are temporarily off their usual one this evening!)

8:00 pm

Hi Stid. Have you mailed me via BabAnon yet? I think we talked about that the other night?

8:00 pm

8:02 pm

Dark, ya' done good! See you tomorrow!

8:02 pm

Stid - I think we were going to exchange e-mail addresses but I was/am unwilling to put mine up on here and so I said if you messaged me through the ez mail on BabAnon we could get in touch? Forgive me if I'm mistaken, it was a bad night for me (anniversary of Dad's death).

8:03 pm

8:03 pm

G'd evening to all who came and went while I was on the phone with my Mom.

8:09 pm

zo4/9 is the larval form of a crab (the seaside kind!). zo5/20 is of that form and the following zo.20 is the plural of the larval form. First 3 letter of the zo word are the Christian name of actress Zo* Wannamaker.

8:10 pm

8:10 pm

G'd evening Jilli. Power stayed on, and the snow magically disappeared yet? :)

8:11 pm

now if I could only keep track of my own stuff! :-0

8:11 pm

Lib -- my icon for architecture was also a building by I.M.Pei (plus a Montrealer friend, Ray Affleck) -- Place Ville Marie in Mtl and its underground city.

8:12 pm

lib - If you keep on keeping track of my stuff, I'll be happy to try to keep track of yours.;)

8:12 pm

Hi Ren!

8:12 pm

wow, I.M gets around! I know the building (complex?) you mean.

8:12 pm

deal, jac! :D

8:13 pm

Lori -- we have worse to come, says the TV. Most of this island is socked in and everything was closed today.

8:13 pm

Did your friend co-design, Jilli?

8:14 pm

That's not good Jill, at least you aren't supplied by NS Power, where ants and crows can take down the grid... Good luck!

8:14 pm

Rolin had a great building for her architecture theme, Gaudi's building in Barcelona - Sagra da Familia. It's made me want to go and see it.

8:15 pm

must go change; brb

8:15 pm

could someone clue the fl9 please

8:16 pm

Also want to see the incredible roadside supports and apartment buildings he's designed around Spain.

8:16 pm

Yes, Lib -- hewas a very talented guy who died too young. Designed Place Bonaventure also and the McGill U library in which I had a small influence. We were at a party and I was fresh from NY, charmed by the green copper roofs and grey stone walls in Montreal. Althoug in those days pristine glass was in fashion, Ray listened and the library has a green copper roof and grey stone walls, sort of!

8:16 pm

Hi, again....

8:16 pm

The troll

8:16 pm

the troll's log froze my computer up, LOL, but it was a good read...

8:16 pm

Hi pam! Was there a troll earlier?

8:17 pm

capemaggie - fl9 is a French bean that sounds a bit like it's taking a beating. fl** (ensign) + 2 vowels + what a landlord does.

8:17 pm

Hi, Jilli... At 11:30 ish in the log...

8:18 pm

or -- fl7 -- the sunshine state + nat'l ***graphic + lease or allow

8:18 pm

8:18 pm

poor Pam. :(

8:18 pm

8:19 pm

Oh, another troll? There was one here when I arrived in the UK morning. That's why I just got on with the grid and didn't bother chatting.

8:19 pm

oh you beautiful people, thank you so much!

8:19 pm

I think it was the same troll, Jac

8:19 pm

Glad you got it, maggie!

8:20 pm

8:20 pm

An alliteration addiction?

8:29 pm

"Alice's Alliterative Almonds" poetic treats for the feeble minded

8:29 pm

definitely, douglas

8:30 pm

okay, I really want to get that story written. back later.

8:30 pm

Has everyone here finished the grid?

8:30 pm

If you start talking alliteration, my analagies will act up, and I don't have my meds.

8:31 pm

'Bye, Stid. Write well!

8:31 pm

Done this morn Jac.

8:31 pm

Meaningless protest over the absence of suey from the dictionary, as in chop suey...getting hungry

8:36 pm

Are we boring you, diney?

8:36 pm

heh, nah....its just nearing my bedtime...

8:36 pm

I have that effect on people.....

8:37 pm

It's way past my bedtime, diney, but the thought of either sleeping on the sofa or joining my sick beloved in his sweat-soaked bed...

8:38 pm

mmmm.....yummy......

8:38 pm

Gee Jac, you say that so poetically.... :)

8:38 pm

He's burning up with fever and sighing in his sleep + groaning, coughing, and grinding his teeth... and then he wants to cuddle up to me (furnace though he is right now)...

8:39 pm

Lori - Why, thank you. I am a published poet, btw.:)

8:40 pm

heh, sounds like me for the past week..... poor BF, letting me cling to him all night

8:40 pm

It shows then! Proving that sweat soaked beds is not always a good thing... :)

8:40 pm

and i grind my teeth every night anyway...

8:40 pm

Diney - Yes, but your b/f doesn't have hot flushes (or flashes, as you call them in UK)!

8:41 pm

true.... hes just plain old hot! ;)

8:41 pm

AARGH - that tooth grinding thinng is worse than nails down a blackboard! All of my teeth want to drop out when I hear that sound.

8:42 pm

8:43 pm

Lori - LOL!

8:43 pm

8:43 pm

8:48 pm

8:48 pm

oh, he certainly has!

8:49 pm

oh dear -- only in my dreams now

8:49 pm

mursey, mercy, nursey all boils down to the same thing doesn't it?

8:49 pm

jilli - Ferry Cross The Mersey... cross the Nursey holds a far different scenario.

8:49 pm

hehe jac

8:50 pm

Just as long as it isn't Nursey Ratchett

8:50 pm

Lucke?

8:50 pm

lbd - Who or what is she?

8:51 pm

Catch 22, jac

8:51 pm

evil Nurse in one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

8:51 pm

I think

8:51 pm

right -- the cuckoos nest

8:51 pm

well, this gal is gonna hit the hay and recharge...

8:51 pm

Ah, got it, lbd.

8:52 pm

8:52 pm

stephie, fuel + rat*** legislation

8:54 pm

Nadeen ofr Na-dine?

8:54 pm

lbd used a woooooooooooooooooord!!! hehe

8:54 pm

tsk tsk

8:54 pm

My daughter and I were discussing earlier, what's this thing with men and women with cut ponytails either side of their head? I stuck my hair up like that at start of day because I had cooking to do. Even though ill, my Other Half could hardly control himself! LOL. So, what is it with men and this 'naughty schoolgirl' thing?

8:54 pm

eeek! slap be with a bucket of <*))<<<

8:54 pm

*or

8:55 pm

pronounced like nay-deen

8:55 pm

A friend of mine went to a fancy dress party with us as a St. Trinian's schoolgirl - 9 months later child no. 2 was born!

8:55 pm

that's what I thought, deeny - lol

8:55 pm

Jac, boys will be boys, who knows what really goes through their brains

8:56 pm

jac, that fashion hasn't hit us here yet

8:56 pm

anywho, whatever you wanna call me, im going to bed. :)

8:56 pm

my husband and i both teach, we think dressing as schoolgirls is gross!!

8:56 pm

sweet dreams, deeny!

8:56 pm

i still didn't get the ga6 clues.

8:56 pm

gnite!

8:57 pm

we get all sorts in the library here, currently lots of blond dreadlocks

8:57 pm

I think the schoolgirl thing may be a UK and European thing.

8:57 pm

another word for petroleum product + 3rd vowel + shoo *l* don't bother me.

8:58 pm

thanks!!

8:58 pm

yw. Locally it's still goth and dressing up like a trollop.

8:58 pm

stephie -- are you in the UK? If so, petrol + rat*** legislation

8:58 pm

fl 9 please

8:59 pm

It's not an actual schoolgirl they want, I think. Any male in here now correct me if I go wrong with my theory. They have memories of schoolgirls who aroused them some way when they were schoolboys. However, they want the girl with the knowing look in her eye as adults, but maybe she should look like the schoolgirl she (or 'that' schoolgirl) once was??

8:59 pm

fl4.9 + ch*v*r**** coupe

8:59 pm

hey everybody!

8:59 pm

aknitter - Hi! fl9 is a French bean.

8:59 pm

aknitter -- clued recently but here again -- sunshine state + nt'l ***graphic + lease or allow

9:00 pm

Hi Ping!

9:00 pm

fl - fl4/9 + 2nd vowel + the ending of the purple girl in Willy Wonka vi****

9:00 pm

hi Ping!

9:00 pm

ty for the fl clues, missed the earlier clue as i just blew in LOL

9:00 pm

Jilli - i'm in the U.S.

9:01 pm

hi lb, jilli, stephie!

9:01 pm

Jilli, how much snow did you get?

9:01 pm

Ok Stephie -- did you get the various clues, then?

9:01 pm

Hi Ping!

9:01 pm

just back from arkansas, stephie

9:01 pm

Yes, I got them then. Thanks!

9:01 pm

I got my schoolgirl theory thing wrong at the end as my son came in and spoke to me, thus distracting me. I meant to say, they want the schoolgirl with the knowing look in her eye (that is the older woman imitating a schoolgirl).

9:02 pm

Did you have fun Ping?

9:02 pm

lbd - over a foot -- totaly snowbound because here in lala land there is a shortage of snowplows

9:02 pm

jac -- they're all imitating Fiz on Corrie -- ???

9:03 pm

jac, I think that is tue, but they also have to have the little plaid skirt, that seems to be equally important

9:03 pm

I must be reading like some kind of pervert to anyone who's just got here! Oh dear!

9:03 pm

they closed the schools here, and the college was closed only in the morning. Now why they didn't close tonight is beyond me. it's 9 degrees with -7 windchill! parking lot was mostly empty when i left

9:03 pm

yes - we were in hot springs - perfect weather

9:04 pm

Thank you for replying Nat & jilli!

9:04 pm

lbd -- I can't even get out of my house!

9:04 pm

fret not, jac, i already know that you're a pervert

9:04 pm

just wanted to keep you off the prevert radar

9:04 pm

lol ping!

9:04 pm

Ping - you child of unmarried parents, you! ;)

9:05 pm

Well, it was in the 70's here today. My husband's football team is in the semifinals of the state playoffs and the forecast for his game Friday night is a wintery mix!! I hate Arkansas weather sometimes!!

9:05 pm

Jac, you don't read like a pervert. but we do question the people you hang around. *wink wink* Jilli, i shoveled 4 times this morning getting the various doorways cleared.

9:05 pm

If nobody needs clues I'm agonna fry my stir-fry

9:06 pm

lbd at my age I don't shovel and even if I did the road hasn't been cleared

9:06 pm

I'd settle for the 30's

9:06 pm

Stephie - I thought you meant in the 1970s there, for a moment. I was back watching Georgie Bestt haring around the football pitch.

9:06 pm

Jilli, i sure hope someone comes by to clear your walks and doorways for you.

9:07 pm

cagl

9:07 pm

oops

9:07 pm

Poor you in Arkansas, going below the 70s! Gaaa...

9:07 pm

leaned on the keys

9:07 pm

jilli - have you got fresh bean sprouts in that? If so, please send me the bean sprouts; I love 'em!

9:07 pm

only counts if it's a grid word Nat! lol

9:08 pm

trying to eat pizza, and type and I almost dropped my pizza

9:08 pm

just don't get confused and type on the pizza and eat the keyboard

9:08 pm

so it was either that, or drop my slice, I opted for the keys

9:09 pm

Oh yes, jac, fresh bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, baby bok choy, water chestnuts, snow peas,, grilled chicken strips, celery, green onions..jasmine rice... whatever

9:09 pm

smart move!

9:09 pm

thanks, lbd, I will keep that in mind

9:09 pm

yumm Jilli, could you send that over to my place?

9:09 pm

mmm, I am going to jilli's for dinner, way better than my left over pizza

9:09 pm

c'mon over, jac, there's lots

9:09 pm

lbd & jilli - In today's litigious UK no one clears the pavement/sidewalk any more... you see, if you have cleared it and someone slips on it they can sue you. If you haven't touched it, they can't. How can that be right?? If I keep on saying that some kind of civil revolution is 5 years' overdue in UK, you may now see why.

9:10 pm

Yo, people!

9:10 pm

yo dark

9:10 pm

lol! KieDe here. Not really dark.

9:10 pm

Can I please have a clue for the te5

9:10 pm

o dark

9:10 pm

jac -- this is a rural area, no sidewalks to clear

9:10 pm

Jac, it's a law here to have your walks cleared so many hours after it stops snowing.

9:11 pm

It's..KieDe. I'm just on hiz UserName

9:11 pm

te+ ***t and found

9:11 pm

hi KieDe

9:11 pm

9:11 pm

9:12 pm

Going to do that stir-fry -- bbl

9:12 pm

enjoy Jilli

9:12 pm

happy cheffing, jilli

9:14 pm

My own personal dinner tonight - made just for me an no one else (which is unusual) - 5 varities of lettuce, chopped cucumber, thinly sliced spring onions, orange segments,cold, sliced duck pieces and tomato ciabatta bread. Heaven! Followed that with pears, pumpkin seeds & plain Greek youhurt mix.

9:15 pm

that sounds wonderful to me!

9:15 pm

as my hubby would say..."where's the meat?"

9:15 pm

Ping - it was!

9:16 pm

lbd - the meat was in the duck!

9:16 pm

he's such a beef eater, fowl doesn't count as meat. it does sound delish tho jac

9:16 pm

lbd - but my other half would not have liked the orange, nor the salad.

9:17 pm

lbd - I love steak (if not messed about with other than black pepper and vinegar).

9:18 pm

Jac, i've finally gotten Hubby to eat veggies with his dinner. He thinks pork and beans are a veggie.

9:18 pm

My other half's saying about fruity things with meat or salad is, 'Fruit is meant to be served in a pastry case with custard.'

9:18 pm

AAARGH!

9:19 pm

Jac, LOL it must be a genetic code thing in men.

9:20 pm

lbd - It must be. God bless 'em!

9:20 pm

also veggies must be overcooked and mushy to be palatable to him...gross!

9:21 pm

lbd - Have you got him to eat 'interesting veggies' yet? ie. not just plain boiled or steamed? I am gradually working my way towards that with my captive male thingey.;

9:22 pm

lbd - sprouts, carrots or cabbage - max 10 mins in a saucepan or 8 in a pressure cooker. \Any more renders them my ex-MIL style. Tasteless mush.

9:23 pm

Mind you, I don't like the new trend for steraming but still raw vegs. I either want them raw in a salad or cooked in a hot meal.

9:26 pm

I've baked asperagus, and he's liked that, but then they were wrapped in bacon!

9:27 pm

veggies in stews or soups he's okay with, yet he loves stir fry with the veggies crisp? go figure

9:27 pm

Incidentally, when we were in Crete on holiday in the summer, I went to the family restaurant to taste the moussaka. Beloved told me it was fine, but something was missing. I knew what was missing. Maybe I'll tell them some time.

9:27 pm

lbd - that's a puzzle to me! Men are strange creatures.

9:28 pm

what was missing jac?

9:28 pm

what was missing, jac?

9:29 pm

Ping - just one dashing of a herb.

9:29 pm

you're hiding something....

9:29 pm

i've only had moussaka once, and my mouth broke out in sores. afraid to try it again.

9:29 pm

You would not believe the difference in tast that makes.

9:30 pm

garlic? basil? thyme? cardomon?

9:30 pm

mint?

9:31 pm

Lbd - you may be allergic to aubergines?

9:31 pm

oregano?

9:31 pm

lbd - you can make it, if that is the case with all tomatoes.

9:32 pm

i can eat aubergines if the skin is removed. i think it may have been an herb or some other ingredient.

9:32 pm

Will you lot quit throwing herbs at me until I've been into kitchen and checked out my recipe?

9:32 pm

parsley?

9:33 pm

cilantro!

9:33 pm

could i have a clue for the last zo 5 please?

9:33 pm

plural of the zo4.9

9:34 pm

i have that one, lb, is there one other?

9:34 pm

well, I almost have the chapter loaded... *sigh* give it a few minutes and I think it'll be done. hi ping!

9:34 pm

ahh, change the snake to a stick

9:34 pm

hi stidmama!

9:35 pm

i have to catch up on the story after i'm done here

9:35 pm

oh good, something for me to read at work tomorrow!

9:35 pm

LOL lbd! hi ping!

9:35 pm

thanks, lb!

9:36 pm

okay, now I have to go play a game with stidgrant. Later all!

9:36 pm

The hidden ingredient for the mousakka is a goodly pinch of parsley.

9:36 pm

If I'm reading it looks like i'm being busy...can't play babble during office hours unless i'm at break.

9:36 pm

night stid

9:37 pm

Ping got it!

9:37 pm

what do i win?

9:37 pm

a helping of moussaka?

9:37 pm

i hope so

9:38 pm

and jac has to make it and send it to you.

9:38 pm

hmmm.. that's a long trip

9:38 pm

If it's my Moussaka, you'll love it!

9:39 pm

i have to go to bed. body is sore from all the shoveling i did today.

9:39 pm

send it on!

9:39 pm

night everyone. it's been a fun day on the grid.

9:39 pm

We'll go off to the island of Spinalonga first on the sea trip... then come back and have my moussaka.

9:40 pm

jac, could i have a clue for the is word please?

9:40 pm

is spinalonga in crete?

9:41 pm

Ping - is word is to cut oneself off... or what happens when you have an infectious disease.

9:41 pm

Ping - Spinalonga is an island just offf the eat of Crete.

9:42 pm

thanks, jac, got it

9:42 pm

*east

9:42 pm

is it beautiful?

9:47 pm

Ping - refresh for my icon view of arriving at Spinalonga. The sea is the bluest, I've ever seen. The island is a former leper colony,m but, it I ever get around to finishing my write up on the holiday, you will see that it is not a sad place.

9:48 pm

Wow! Gorgeous! Did you take the photo?

9:49 pm

Not sure if I took pic or Paul did.

9:50 pm

what is on the island now?

9:54 pm

could i get a clue for the hi 4 please?

hi 4 - not hers but hi* + consonant

9:55 pm

thanks, junky

yw

9:55 pm

Ping - what is on the island now? A 94-year old caretaker who was robbed whilst he slept. All the contents of the Churcgh were taken and so the Church is kept locked now. The remains of the very lively community that found themselves dumped there, the strangely small graveyard for all those that died., (Explanation when I finish my holiday blog). Also, a guide on that trip who's grandad was on of those that made a family and thrived on the island.The island had a cinema, and all sorts, long before the rest of the Greek islands had such things. If there were any members of the original community left ther today they WOULD be Babblers, I have no doubt about that.

If you're really planning on marrying the guy, you're gonna have to put up with man-flu sooner or later. If you really think it's man-flu, and it's exaggerated, then why not get some practice in? ;)

11:42 pm

about 7 or so inches Jill - have been in all day - lost power twice for 4 hour periods

11:42 pm

11:43 pm

you sound like david bowie julie

11:43 pm

and he's a babe

11:43 pm

oh wow -- I've been lucky with the power -- no outages so far, but at least a foot of snow so stuck

11:45 pm

indeed yes Jill - if I suddenly disappear - you'll know what happened!

11:45 pm

well, TnC, couldn't remember if I'd said hi before or not - lol

I think I'm gonna give up. I've got 52, so if I wait for the next grid to come up, I might have a better chance!

that's okay, I've been quiet!

11:46 pm

maybe, maverick, but it might be a biggie!

I'm guessing 176

11:53 pm

Jillibus, I won't be far from BC tomorrow, going to the San Juan Islands for a couple days.

11:53 pm

relarion -- the san juans are almost next door to salt spring island -- wave!

11:54 pm

I will! I have a friend who just bought a house on San Juan Island and wants to move to Salt Spring eventually. I'll be on Orcas.

11:55 pm

11:55 pm

11:55 pm

smart friend :D

how come relarion doesn't have a flag and a little pink person?

11:55 pm

sorry

11:56 pm

That's odd, I thought I did have a flag...

11:56 pm

hi all, what's the consensus on tomorrow's grid? big or small?

hey, stid, no consensus yet

11:57 pm

morning all.

hi, oggy

11:57 pm

Hi OG, Stid.

11:57 pm

we need a large grid today

11:57 pm

relarion, did you remember to check "show profile", upper right when you go to My Account?

It's tempting to shout "Oy, oy, oy", but it's too early...

:)

11:58 pm

hi relarion! you know the San Juans are just as snowy as Jill and Flosey's islands... several districts up there cancelled school for tomorrow already!

11:58 pm

hi oggy!

11:58 pm

Hi again stid -- hi oggy -- I guessed 397

do you have lots of snow, stid?

11:58 pm

hi stid, hows things

11:59 pm

well, I am going to hope for about 293. that would be a good size -- if the power stays on, and if the kids have school.

11:59 pm

hi babblers!!

11:59 pm

Hi all i guess 223

11:59 pm

heaven forbid jilli..... lol hi everyone

176

11:59 pm

I guess 186

11:59 pm

189

99?

hi, debb

less than a minute and 3 left yikes

136

11:59 pm

hi debb

11:59 pm

397? has someone lost their mind jilli?

11:59 pm

"Lots" is relative, Tea! LOL we have more than we usually get this time of year. Most of our snow happens in January, so over an inch already seems like a lot. Of course it melted, and then froze...

11:59 pm

I know, Stid, this is our 3rd trip, will be a good test of whether we REALLY like it..

12:00 am

hi debb! hi Ankh!

12:00 am

There have been bigger ones!

ick!
