12:13 am

I think I better go and cook some food - am feeling weak from too much time on Babble. May see you later.

12:13 am

12:13 am

Oh Jilli, don't do that!

12:13 am

bye ang :)

it can be vulgar here, too!

12:14 am

12:44 am

Your not far from me TnC

12:44 am

It's hard to feel too bad for you folks who are talking about cold weather. We had more than two straight weeks where it never got above 18 below zero. Finally warmed up the last few days. 15 above today. Long sleeve shirt weather.

12:44 am

that 72 was in Philadelphia! still 62 now. still roses blooming and stuff... really weird

12:44 am

mkl, where ARE you?

12:44 am

Break out the shorts mkl!!!!

12:45 am

And flip flops

12:45 am

I live about 30 miles outside of Fairbanks, Alaska

12:46 am

I figured it had to be something like that mkl!

Hi all. Here is my clue icon, since I can't think of anything else.

12:47 am

This isn't supposed to be our really cold time yet. Usually around zero this time of year. Late December and January will really shrivel your grapenuts.

12:47 am

Didn't you just have a cold spell not to long ago Ornith?

debb, you sound like you live near me. I'm in Southern California.

12:47 am

schroder, if by cold you mean it got down to freezing at night

12:47 am

100 words and yawning

12:47 am

thanks bfm, didn't have that one

12:48 am

late flip!

12:48 am

hey, fran!

12:48 am

We were without power for 3 days, and the temp was in the teens. Really cold for here in Wash.!

12:48 am

hi une!

I am exactly halfway - I think I will go to bed. I am having titanium posts implanted in my jaw tomorrow, so I doubt I will be back. Bye all!

12:48 am

12:49 am

Bye TnC...good luck tomorrow

12:49 am

ml, we did it again!!

12:50 am

thanks bfm! I had a hottie for a little while, but couldn't resist the lure of tv shows from when I was a kid

12:50 am

hey fran!

12:50 am

we picked the exact same image file!

12:50 am

hi hk!

12:50 am

I go every year. I take some of my dancers to perform in the holiday parade.

I think you're still a kid. lol.

12:50 am

i went to get an icon, but i see that mkl has one i was thinking of, haha - gonna git the other now

12:50 am

we'll have to stop doing that Fran, people will talk

12:50 am

good clue ornith!

How fun! I used to perform once a year when I was in high school with the band.

12:51 am

lol bfm, when I watched that show I was younger than she was!

12:51 am

I can share Helen

12:51 am

thanks fran

12:51 am

mkl - well, maybe YOU can, lol, brb

12:52 am

there's an alt spelling too if you don't have it already ornith.

12:52 am

It is fun. I love to hear the kids get so excited about it......well and the adults I'm taking are pretty excited also.

I think we're going to D-land after Christmas, but while the decorations are still up. My husband has never seen it decorated for Christmas before, and the kids will get a kick out of it.

12:52 am

of which one, fran?

12:52 am

brb

12:53 am

It's always nice to see the Christmas decorations...I always want to swipe a wreath and bring it home...lol

If you get a chance, you should see the Mission Inn in Riverside. It is absolutely breathtaking

12:54 am

changing icons, brb

12:54 am

mkl, what word are those little chicks? I'm sure it's something obvious, but I'm not seeing it

ml, I think Fran is changing hers, too. lol

12:54 am

okay, i changed my icon

12:55 am

oops, ml better not come back with something similar!

12:55 am

Quick, everybody change to their icon before they come back

12:55 am

I've never been there...I'll see if I can squeeze in a trip to see it.

Thanks, Fran.

12:55 am

ornith, alt spelling of your icon and comparative of it too. you probably have it already.

12:56 am

ooh, there's a good word. tu4/6 present tense of "an old black ram is tu**ing your white ewe" (quoting shakespeare, ain't I fancy?)

Google it. It is really worth the trip.

12:56 am

Actually, the chicks don't mean a thing. I always have chickens of some sort up there.

12:56 am

thanks fran, was missing the alternate spelling

12:56 am

I kept looking for "pullet" mkl!

Ooh, thanks Fran!

12:57 am

okay - i have an icon

LOL, helen.

12:58 am

ha, I was missing the 5/26 spelling

12:58 am

LOL helen...

12:58 am

ok, back now with a new pic

12:58 am

great clue ml!

Thanks ml. Didn't have that one.

12:58 am

thanks helen!

12:58 am

very pretty metal

12:59 am

chic - you have a thorobred? i KNOW that's not right, lol

12:59 am

don't forget "more pu5/26" for a pu7/52

12:59 am

crewel

12:59 am

oops

12:59 am

12:59 am

12:59 am

yay! sp8

12:59 am

(thanks flosey)

12:59 am

it's wonderful to see the colors develop, to feel the change in the texture of the fabric as you stitch

1:00 am

flosey, i actually have that book in your icon!

1:00 am

really Fran, interesting, I haven'

1:00 am

only done like two embroideries, and my boss is already willing to let me do smaller ones for him! (I work for a guy who makes vestments) I'm all excited

1:02 am

ornith -- I was just going to get that icon theme when you showed up with it!

1:02 am

hehe sorry jilli!

Ornith, are you going primarily for Jacobean designs or others as well?

1:03 am

I'm really just starting to embroider at all, metal... doing shaded peonies right now. hoping to learn goldwork eventually

That sounds really cool, Ornith.

I enjoy blackwork also

1:03 am

hi jilli!!

1:03 am

Goldwork! *staggers in to flip an hour late*

1:04 am

hi ank!!

1:04 am

hi ankh!

1:04 am

hi jilli!

1:04 am

hi ank

1:04 am

Haven't tried blackwork yet... i don't so much like it for pictures, but it does make pretty edgings!

1:04 am

hi ank

1:04 am

Hi! Had to change clothes -- haven't got any clues yet. Oh, dear, Fran, great icon! My rodent-ish sistah! Hello, Muse! Debb, Jilli, Ornith!

hi Ankh

1:05 am

Oops, Hi, Metal, didn't see you for a sec. Better say hi, all!

1:05 am

hi ankh

Well, I'm not making any money lollygagging around here. Back to work!

bye bfm

1:05 am

bye bfm

1:05 am

probably old news, hu7/52

hiya ankh - didn't see you come in

1:06 am

Bye BFM

1:06 am

bye BFM!

1:06 am

good evening all -- I need tea and sympathy....

1:06 am

hi nan

1:06 am

more old news, su8/45

1:06 am

aww, hi nan *tea!*

1:06 am

hi nan! what's wrong?

hi nan, how can we help?

hi nan

1:07 am

*sings* I wish I was an Oscar Mayer we6/30

1:07 am

*pours tea*, what's wrong nan?

1:07 am

((((((((nan)))))))))

1:07 am

i've got tea ready!

1:08 am

Had a disaster in computerland this morning -- had my family newsletter all ready to post and inadvertantly lost the html file, so had to start all over from the beginning. As this was a file with frames, tons of links and lots of tables, this was a major undertaking!!! -- didn't get back to finish yesterday's grid but am almost finished now -- about another 1/2 hours labour!!

1:08 am

oy - how frustrating

1:08 am

oh ew nan, were you doing it all by hand?

1:09 am

i hate when stuff like that happens

1:09 am

oh nan, how frustrating

bless your heart! *offers shortbread cookies to go with the tea

oh nan - lycky for you, you have that photographic memory, right? :)

1:09 am

Oh nan that's is a lot of work..

1:09 am

yes -- I write in html -- no program with templates.

1:10 am

Don't I wish, Helen --- but I did still have all the e-mails from family members with their contributions.

1:10 am

And I didn't lose the photo files

1:10 am

I use dreamweaver and program by hand, so I can at least make templates for myself

1:11 am

Hi, Nan! And Helen and MVA and Schroeder and gosh I hope I haven't missed anyone this time. How exhausting, Nan.

1:11 am

*debates whether the group would be offended if she added a naughty hamster picture for word-in-grid*

1:12 am

Thanks for the tea, shortbread and sympathetic comments --- my husband just said, "Oh!" -- but then he is not very computer literate.

1:12 am

how many words today please

1:12 am

164

1:12 am

164 edmo

1:12 am

edmo 164

1:13 am

1:13 am

Go for it ankh

1:13 am

hmmm, interesting jilli

1:14 am

nor would i be offended

1:14 am

hmmmm, jilli. I've got the second word, but that first one is mysterious!

1:14 am

*comes back snickering and giggling* Okay, too awful?

jili - i have those 2 words, but what the heck is your icon? what does it do?

1:15 am

thanks jilli!

1:15 am

Thanks for letting me get racy! Tho' I am still blushing from Metal's shoe yesterday, gracious!

1:15 am

1:15 am

hehe ankh, I think it's funny! is that lu4/5?

1:15 am

Yesss, Ornith! :)

1:16 am

Or should I just say, "Yes, yes, and again yes!" ?

1:16 am

helen -- I don't know! Guess I'd better google it

1:16 am

Lol ankh!!!!

1:16 am

Ankh: maybe "Oh God Yes!"

1:16 am

got to go, bbl

1:16 am

And tying in to the fact that hamsters have THE shortest estrous cycle of all of us mammals... bye MVA!

it could also be tu4/5

1:17 am

Bye MVA

bye MVA

1:17 am

lol, true metal!

1:17 am

Gosh, it is pretty blatant... hope the day crowd isn't horrified.

1:17 am

Oh, Metal, so right!

lol ankh - no, it's cute ----- just today i was thinking about the time i saw two large turtle (or tortises) go at it at, i forget which zoo) - but it was the funniest thing, everything was in ultra-slo-mo - even the loud grunting - there was quite the crowd

good nite mva

1:18 am

Oh, Helen!!! I've seen that! The poor things grunt (with NO privacy) and their shells click, ungh, click, ungh, etc...

i don't think they cared about the privacy, lol - these guys were big! maybe 4 feet long, 3 feet tall

1:30 am

Nice icon, Sapphie, thanks.

1:31 am

cr7/32, cr7/48, hu 7/52, pu 7/52, tu 7/36

1:31 am

Sheesh, Metal, just noticed your icon is homonym for yesterday's cr*** shoe!

you're ahead of me Ankh, I didn't even pick up on tht

*that

1:32 am

clue for tu7/36 muse?

1:32 am

*rolls eyes* Heaven forbid, Metal.

1:32 am

add a Latin plural to the clothing item

1:33 am

well.....got to get to bed

1:33 am

tunicae

also, drop the final vowel from the 7 and you have the 6

1:33 am

muse, you mean the fabric?

1:33 am

Whoops, Kalea...

1:33 am

a woman's upper garment perhaps

1:33 am

wow, mymuse I'd never have found that one

1:34 am

oh, thanks kalea, hehe

1:34 am

hey everyone...there is also an sp7/52

1:34 am

Hi, SmithChick!

1:34 am

thanks smithchick!

1:34 am

ah, same alternate ending as for my icon

1:35 am

That's quite the interesting icon you've got there, ankh...gives all new meaning to the words warm and fuzzy

1:35 am

thanks smith!

1:35 am

Txs, Ornith, was stuck on that part.

1:35 am

thanks smithchick!

ty smith

1:36 am

*blushes* Thank you, SmithChick... you think it's too graphic for here?

1:36 am

muse, can you tell me what the cr7/32 builds off of?

1:36 am

fran, spaces in a battlement

1:37 am

doesn't build from anything Fran

1:37 am

yw...I need one more 7 now. I've got cr7/32, cr7/48, hu7/52, pu7/52, sp7/52 and tu7/36.

1:37 am

okay

1:37 am

sure it does muse, the singular cr6/21

OK, now that i have some words i want to get another icon

ty Ornith, I've never seen it spelled that way... only eith the charged particle ending

1:37 am

No...it's funny. Now that turtle story may be another thing altogether!

1:37 am

Fran, it has same ending as a single corn from cob

1:38 am

np metal

1:38 am

lol Orn

1:38 am

I'm too lazy to change my icon...

1:39 am

I could put up a picture of two of my children for the su6/21 and su8/45.

1:39 am

*points out SHE wasn't the one moaning (much) during turtle story! only a little!*

1:40 am

Huh, Chick hmmm, don't have those yet.

1:50 am

Lol, Nother!

1:50 am

1:50 am

hawaiian goose alert!

1:51 am

oh, those damn geese, I can't remember... grrr.

1:51 am

Gotta love those Hawaiian geese

1:51 am

*honks to herself in a surly way; blushing over cursing*

1:52 am

thanks for pointing it out, fran

I'm not awake enough for the cryptic clues yet

Ornith - you still there? - see what you made me do?

1:53 am

ne4/4 another, it's really a hawaiian goose.

1:53 am

Did anyone clue the non-nanny upper right A?

1:54 am

I've got 7 re words, and 6 ri words. Anyone know what I'm missing?

ah thank you fran - got it now

1:54 am

I love knocking those r's out of the way.

1:54 am

cybernan - ae + spy agency.

1:54 am

1:54 am

Thanks, Dianne!

1:54 am

1:55 am

Dianne, thanks, that's a new one for me

I've got one re6, four re5's and two re4's.

1:56 am

5 ri4's and one ri5

1:57 am

I can't stand to go to bed with 15 left.

1:57 am

ta dianne

1:57 am

The reason I lurk a lot is because if I don't lurk, I can't shut up.

1:57 am

Smith! Don't do this to yourself!

I think you are missing an re4, chick.

1:58 am

reins

1:58 am

It's the nature of the beast, ankh

1:58 am

didn't really notice smith! :-)

1:58 am

Thanks, snp

1:58 am

oh, I did it again -- sorry

1:58 am

hi everybody! I found a word that Iwish were real!

1:59 am

hi nef!

1:59 am

hello nef

hi Nef

1:59 am

Hi Nef and snp!

hello snpp

1:59 am

smithchick, I can't chat and word find at the same time; I'm always putting words in chat and chat in the word box!

2:00 am

been there, done that Nef

ditto, here too Nef

Hi, I've been lurking for a while.

2:01 am

my word that I wish was real is: re-enlust! :D

2:01 am

I've grayed the NE corner and the SW corner and I'm fading fast, ladies... *a mighty yawn*

2:01 am

smith - just got my last re4 - re4/9. Do you have that one?

2:01 am

Hi Volley

2:01 am

Sheesh, Nef! Did you click my icon?

2:01 am

Nope...that's what I'm missing. Guess I'll do some math

hi chick

2:02 am

Just got it. Thanks, Dianne

2:02 am

I've been lurking too for a little while; wiating for dishes and laundry to finish

I cannot believe how godd and how fast you all are; I don't think I'll ever see what you all see; very impressive

2:03 am

strange, there was a bang outside somewhere, computer shut down but power still on!

2:03 am

AHH! That just *might* have been where that idea came from Ankh! :D

2:03 am

I almost typed in a word...it would have been embarrassing for all of you to know that I thought it possible that eack was a word.

2:03 am

only have one sickly i word. anyone got the other?

2:03 am

Volley!! My protegeé!

Howdy Ankh!

2:03 am

volley -- not everybody is so fast -- take me, for example -- slow and unsteady

2:03 am

Dianne, knock over your pen.

2:04 am

Hey flosey

2:04 am

Jilli, your modesty is groundless.

aww ty jil for encouragement

2:04 am

Volley, I think I'm the slowest here but I talk too much. :)

LOL

2:04 am

I'm especially when I use the list...I miss the list...where is the list?

2:04 am

volley, I've been quietly working here for about an hour and only have 68 words

2:04 am

Since it's Friday, this is icons-are-clues day. You should click on our icons, and that way you'll get to know us better, too.

2:05 am

dianne, you're way ahead of me, i have no i words

2:05 am

indeed jilly, certainly neither slow nor unsteady

2:05 am

1 hour 2 mins and 77 words. *sigh*

2:05 am

Except for mine...because I'm too lazy to change it.

2:05 am

dianne, think of newsprint and what's in a pen

2:05 am

Chick, I still don't get it about using your kids for su* words.

great idea ty ankh didn't now that; I will!!

2:05 am

boy, all this flattery! I love it ;)

2:05 am

for the other i in the middle

2:06 am

well, I'm off to bed - perhaps finish if I'm up early enough

2:06 am

ank - thanks - now I need one more I (i hate the i and e words).

2:06 am

and the other i in the middle is what you say when something is gross

2:06 am

The expressions on their faces...they are preteen and teen...pouty little boogers.

2:06 am

Awwww, Jilli. You're the smartest, best-mannered, and best-traveled! :)

2:06 am

Bye flosey

2:06 am

my icon isn't a clue; that's just me!

2:06 am

I think Lickety has a soccer game on Fridays or something so clues are later than usual

2:06 am

Ohhh, okay!

2:07 am

I hate a's too, Dianne

i have all the 8s, i mean both the 8s, & these 7s: c7/48 hu7, pu7, tu7

i have all the 8s, i mean both the 8s, & these 7s: c7/48 hu7, pu7, tu7

whoch 7s am i missing, and a clue for the other cr7 please?

2:07 am

fran - thanks - I've been trying to find something for that i in the middle

2:08 am

there's a cr7/32 melon, plural of the cr6/21

OK, hat is the typign of a very tired person.

2:08 am

We're still missing a 7. there is also sp7/52

would anyone be offended if I put up a suggestive but not obscene icon pic?

2:08 am

cr6/21 is the space in a battlement

i don't have that cr6

2:08 am

You better ask ankh...she's a stickler about these things

yes, but delightedly so ;)

2:08 am

Well, *I* am certainly in no position to object!

2:09 am

metal - go right ahead -everyone has been warned :)

2:09 am

it's the same structure as the cr6/33, but change middle consonant

this isn't really bad...

brb

2:09 am

A stickler? No, just a tender modest blushing FLOWER of a hamstress!

2:09 am

Fran - thanks - I missed that gross i word.

i must spell it differently, or misspell it as the case may be {confused}

2:10 am

mmmhmmm...

2:10 am

Helen -- "hat is the typign" ? Awwww. :)

2:10 am

14 words... trying very hard not to cheat

2:10 am

melon, there is also an sp7/52

ahh, i was double hockey sticking it - as in the -ation ending

thanks, btw

2:11 am

yw dianne!

2:11 am

any clues for the very first e?

OK 2 more 7s & i can call it a mediocre night.

2:11 am

sp7/52 is alt spelling of the sp6/42

2:12 am

cheat?

2:12 am

Go Smith Go Chick Go Smithchick!

thanks fran - had missed that one

ok crew, here's the new (temporary) icon pic

2:12 am

Yeah, go to atoz or something. It's now four and a half hours until time to get up. If the kids have school. Cross your fingers that they don't.

past the half way point - phew!!

ml said a word! lol

ack, sorrry about that

OK, here's my 7s now: cr7 X2, hu7, pu7, tu7, sp7 - what's the last one?

2:13 am

was hoping to find another word before retiring -- not going to happen -- good night all :)

2:13 am

2:13 am

laila tov cybernan

2:13 am

2:14 am

2:15 am

But of course, melon.

2:15 am

I'm missing two of the SE "t" -- I have fabric, music, three clothing words, medieval barrel, and sex. Can anybody point me to what I'm missing?

2:16 am

Drop one of the consonants on the first tu5...Also one who does tu4/5

well (harrumph) WE didn't give you permission to use "we"!

2:16 am

So sorry...Begging your pardon

2:16 am

But Melon, you're the one who said you didn't have it in the first place! :)

2:17 am

If one of us does know it, I'd love for us to share!

oh, Ankh, i am so full of it

2:17 am

WE are all full of it!

2:18 am

*hits herself in face with a tu*** fish!* Thank you, SmithChick. Ah, Melon, I'm just pulling your chain. :)

2:18 am

yw

2:19 am

I can't figure out that tu7 word for anything. Could someone clue it for me please?

2:19 am

I wanna see Metal's racy icon, and then I'm going to bed.

{pulled} - hey my nickname as a kid was Queen of the Universe, bestowed by younger sister, & i had no idea this was a mockery!

2:19 am

WE need the top e. Please? Pretty please?

2:19 am

ROFL, melon!

2:19 am

thanks ankh and smith, got all the Ts now

2:19 am

2:20 am

Throw an extra vowel on the end of the tu6

and me

Okay, here's another clue.

2:20 am

that's a good picture of him BFM

2:20 am

Hi blombol

2:20 am

LOL!! Metal, I didn't have that one!! Thanks!

2:21 am

if I had a tu6; I'd definitly throw an extra letter on it

2:21 am

I love him!

Remember the spandex pants?

2:21 am

LOL, Nef...It's a gambling town in Mississippi.

yw Ankh

2:21 am

i just saw him in concert about a month ago. still a hu**

2:21 am

Aw, BFM, I'm a simple farm girl and was thinking of a hayri**.

I"m not sure I should admit this, but that's the first word I found

2:22 am

I loved Billy Idol in the 80's.

Never heard of that, Ankh.

2:22 am

Hey, all, thank you for a lovely evening, gotta go now... I needed to see Metal's word (oh, Metal, what shall I ever think of you?) and now I'm washed up.

I had a thing for Adam Ant.

'night Ankh

2:22 am

A big pile of hay in the olden days, Monster. These days, machines roll it.

I'm off to change back to a prettier icon

Nite, Ankh.

very good point Ata

2:34 am

*is not here, is just shutting off computer, but didn't someone say Lickety plays soccer on Fridays on his way home from work?*

2:35 am

thanks ata! i was trying to think of a way to say just what you said.

it's his gift to us, not his obligation

2:35 am

has he finished his thesis?

2:35 am

lol i'm not sure but hi Ankh :)

new icon pic Ankh, refresh before you go

2:35 am

blom - ec7 - ec - repeat last letter then add a word for fruit peel/skin but change the last letter to a vowel.

2:36 am

hello everyone. didn't MRP say he had a Xmas do for his work - ?

2:36 am

hmmm, thought i saw a hamster rush through here.

2:36 am

hi lynxxx!

2:36 am

thanks, dianne for the e7 clue which I missed because I went to morewords too - lol! It was a good clue, though!

2:36 am

What IS it, Metal? Remember, I'm not here, so I don't put everyone through the "bye" thing again! (but hi, Ata, Crone!)

2:37 am

ankh, i think it's some kind of radio tu***

it's a tu5/12, used to make sure instruments don't hit "sour notes"

2:37 am

or that kind of tu***

2:38 am

Ohhh, thanks! Nite, nite, nite!!! *dashes past skunk again at high speed, headed for Blanket Wars*

2:38 am

3:37 am

cr7.....sorry!

3:37 am

good morning babblers.

3:37 am

night all

3:37 am

So, I have the second 8 (thanks, Haz) did anyone come up with the other 7 while I was looking?

3:37 am

The other cr 7 is structured as the embrodery yarn, but replace the middle consonant with another.

3:38 am

Night Crone and Hi BA

3:38 am

So, there are 2 cr 7's?

3:38 am

cr7/32 = cr7/48 change the centre consonant

3:38 am

Sorry Haz....thats the one I have

3:39 am

cr7/48 is the abusive sounding embroidery yarns, cr7/32 is the other (replace the middle consonant)

3:39 am

yes there are Enemy

3:39 am

Got it !!!

3:39 am

thankyou!

3:39 am

Well done Flask!

3:40 am

Good morning Bloodaxe - we were knee deep in embroidery yarns there (what a nightmare thought) and didn't say hello.

3:41 am

that's ok haz...first things first. how are you this morning?

3:41 am

I'm fine thanks. The house is still in one piece after some storms last night, so that's always a bonus.

3:41 am

ooohhh...was there some bad weather?

3:42 am

Gales and storms - probably nothing by other's standards but pretty noisy!

3:42 am

Thanks to all who helped me with the 7's and 8's

3:42 am

well it's good that everythings safe and sound.

3:42 am

And that should have been others' standards.

3:42 am

glad they have passsed now Haz.

3:43 am

You're welcome Enemy.

3:44 am

Did you finish the grid yesterday, Bloodaxe, or did study interfere again?

3:45 am

yea...that pesky educations got in the way. i called it quits with about 35 words left, but i had a quiz this morning, so i needed the sleep.

3:45 am

i love the BIG grids, but they make school so much more difficult.

3:46 am

The big grids are fun, especially in the beginning when the words are flowing, but getting them completed does take time. Unless you're a speed merchant, which I'm not.

3:46 am

did you finish yesterday's grid?

3:47 am

I did it eventually. I had to take a break to let a migraine pass and then got it done later.

new icon pic up

3:48 am

ewww...migraines. those can make the grids hard.

3:48 am

luv it metal! is it part of the theme?

it is indeed

3:48 am

so how many words WERE there yesterday?

3:49 am

I only take a migraine very occasionally and can usually nip them in the bud. Babble and nausea don't mix.

3:49 am

264-ish...i think.

3:49 am

Cairo - 280 or thereabouts.

3:50 am

well i hope that today's grid goes off without a hitch for you haz.

3:51 am

Thanks Bloodaxe - finding time and words should be my only problem today.

3:52 am

what is the theme for today? i've partaken in any of the "themes"...maybe today is a good day to start.

3:52 am

hey guys i am looking for the last i word. i got the one the green h**** of scotlands as well as the grose word

3:52 am

morning all..im missing the ec7...and just cant see it

3:52 am

3:53 am

3:53 am

3:53 am

Morning rolin

3:53 am

rolin - think sweaty

3:53 am

ok. thanks haz.

rolin, think glandular, secretions, not endo * * * * * but ec * * * * *

3:54 am

ec7 - ec then a mixture of a misdemeanour and salty water (does that make sense)

3:54 am

Dianne Hi!! Are you over your cold?

4:05 am

4:52 am

I knew it wasn't acceptable but I don't understand why 'nerine' is outlawed by enable.

4:52 am

never heard of it haz what is it

Enable obviously needs some attitude adjusting medications

4:53 am

snap Haz - I just tried that!

4:53 am

It's an autumn flowering bulb - very pretty pink flowers.

4:53 am

oh sounds nice

4:53 am

My mother had an amazing array of them in the garden this year

4:54 am

isnt that narine, haz, or is narine something different?

4:54 am

They seem to come into flower just when all the summer plants are fading.

4:54 am

I'll check, Atalante.

4:54 am

Ata that is to do with nostirls

4:55 am

lol oh ... I will tell my mother, she always spells the flowers narine!

4:55 am

I'm not good with plants, I had some houseplants and they either over grew, died, or were stolen :'(

4:56 am

narine - googled it and has something to do with acido-lactic products.

4:56 am

oooo now I'll know for next time :)

4:57 am

Ah well, nerine just has to join the list of enable rejects.

4:58 am

my houseplants were so bad, the theives stole the house and left the plants

4:58 am

lol enemy

4:59 am

With a t instead of a y we could have had multitudes of Madagascan hedgehogs. Maybe I need a break. I'm only seeing what we can't have! Back later.

4:59 am

5:27 am

hu 4/6 4/10 7/52 5/26 4/6 4/6

TY Haz, i'd never have gotten that one

5:29 am

5:37 am

blom - take you lu like the month - drop the last letter and add the "even more so" ending.

5:37 am

lu4/5 - french for moon, make it an adjective and then a comparative for lu6/21

5:38 am

9:06 am

The second one is to make something to original condition, the first uses the writing fluid.

9:07 am

9:07 am

Angelsong - she hasn't been on in the time that I've been here, but haven't checked back further in the log for the flip.

9:54 am

greetings and felicitations

9:55 am

Smithchick is the name

9:55 am

wow, imagine a sithchick though. come to think of it, star wars is kinda sexist. are there ANY female jedi?

9:55 am

Hurshy, are you related to THE Spider

That's what I'm using, but I swear it wasn't there the first time I looked!

9:55 am

i am down to 9, i need 3 e's, 3 w's and 4 s's. can someone point me to times of lists for those letters?

9:56 am

of course there are Hurshy!!

9:56 am

oops, just saw that smithchick posted. thanks for the tip

9:56 am

She posted it recently, like 40 minutes ago

9:56 am

you see loads in the films!

9:56 am

who's THE spider?

Joey, go in the Babanon link, then under general and you'll see the post with the list.

That explains it!

9:56 am

all the jedi i can remember are male

9:57 am

bunny just posted the w's about 15 minutes ago

9:57 am

remember Charlotte???

9:57 am

maybe just cause they're the ones i find attractive :)

I saw female Jedi's in the newer films.

9:57 am

charlotte with the web, yes

9:57 am

well you're not paying attention enough! go and watch them again!

9:57 am

ok but AFTER babble

erica

opesy, sorry :(

9:59 am

you see Jocasta in the Library with Obi-Wan, and she's there again when Ani goes on his killing spree. There are female padawans there too. Then there's Shaak Ti and another Twi'lek or two in the fight scenes. And quite a few more

10:00 am

i do recall the little girl padawans, yes... jocasta! unfortunate name choice.

10:00 am

clue for the last ca5?

10:01 am

why unfortunate?

ca 5/12 - c + what you breath + cons

10:01 am

isn't jocasta the one who slept with her father?

10:01 am

oh ... yes ...!

10:01 am

she did something ic4, at any rate.

10:01 am

angel

10:02 am

she died saving the young ones in the temple in RotS. Ani killed her. Brat.

10:02 am

angel ca5 is a heap of stones set up as a monument

10:02 am

YOU'RE the one who likes him

Plebian, what's your icon say?

10:03 am

harry potter coins should count :(

10:04 am

he's a poor misunderstood boy ;)

10:04 am

harry certainly is :)

10:04 am

harry is a whiny brat at the moment

10:05 am

no, he was a whiny brat in 5, he got better by the end of 6

10:05 am

better, but still a whiny brat

10:06 am

what do you think of the hypothesis that snape is still good, and killed dumbledore at dumbledore's wish, bc otherwise draco would have had to and that would have turned him to the dark side (to borrow a phrase...)

...sneaking in, I don't think Snape is bad, and I'm debating whether Dumbledore is actually dead?

good morning

10:07 am

I agree with it, pretty much

10:07 am

i thought he might not be dead when he first died but then i think rowling went out of her way to make sure we didn't keep thinking that.

Morning pappa

10:08 am

Morning Pappa

10:08 am

rick

10:08 am

sorry

10:09 am

the one that really irked me was sirius's death. it was 100% because of harry's stupidity, and now harry's REALLY got nobody.

Do they have a preview for Order of the Phenoix movie?

10:10 am

not sure

10:11 am

puky and pukier should count.

10:11 am

I think he's dead. Not entirely sure if Sirius is 100% dead, but he's at least physically dead

10:11 am

and yes they do, bunny

10:12 am

oh he's dead. they had that whole convo about why he wouldn't be a ghost, and why harry's parents weren't either...

Do you know where?!?!

10:12 am

its on mytube, I know that much

10:12 am

I reckon they should as well hurshy and how on earth can ther be 14 Ks!!

10:13 am

rowling isn't the type to pull a feel-good stunt where everyone's "not really dead"

10:13 am

Ooh, are discussing snape theories? Good morning!

10:14 am

yeah, but we all thought rowling wasn't the sort to kill off charries randomly and write unbelievably crap novels ...

10:14 am

rowling's dead?!?!?!?!

10:14 am

the s's p's and h's are worse than the k's

10:14 am

good morning... is anyone else having issues with Lickety's page today?

10:14 am

well yes but ata, there is a difference between failing to live up to expected quality and changing one's whole tone

Yup yps, it's not working today. Go to anon for a list.

10:14 am

Am I the only peson in the world who hasn't read or seen any Harry Potter? And has no wish to!!

yes, I am ypsi... I was just about to ask the same thing

10:14 am

thx bunny

10:15 am

what do we have in the way of funny letter combos? ps, pt, ts...?

10:15 am

JFB, if you don't mind my asking, why not read HP?

JFB, yup! I love HArry Potter, I just hate waiting years to see the next movie or read the next book. I'm not that patient.

hursh, 2 ph's?

10:16 am

got the ph's

The rest are tu & pu.

10:16 am

Just so as I know!

10:16 am

I have yet to watch Goblet of Fire and I pre-ordered it, I just cannot find the time to watch it, I think my 3yr old might have something to do with it

10:16 am

sigh.

10:16 am

i mean that's good, but sigh anyway.

Ypsi... you guys getting snowed on over there?

10:17 am

I read the books, now with a bit of reluctance. I loved the first 3 and was very unimpressed with the 4th and 5th. 6th was ok. But I haven;t seen any films past Chamber of Secrets

10:17 am

the 4th was the best one! it was the 5th where it was disappointing

6 of those pu's all relate to one another (what you'd call a wild kid)

10:18 am

6, really? i have 3 of those ones. cool.

10:19 am

4 now...

10:19 am

gosh i can't see what else to do with that

10:19 am

I think the fifth could have used some editing - e.g. I don't see the whole grawp storyline going anywhere useful for the plot or thematically.

Try adding a vowel to the shortest one, the add onto that with a cons, they are weird

10:20 am

ah, ok. maybe those 2 aren't actually related...

10:21 am

grawp may go somewhere - she's really been building up the whole giant thing for a while

10:21 am

good happy Friday, all!

Sorry, meant letter wise. I should start looking at the defs!

Morning Stid!!

hi stid

10:22 am

hi stid!

10:22 am

{{{{Stid}}}}

10:22 am

the 5th's troubles were mainly that harry should have known by THEN that he should TALK TO DUMBLEDORE, and that it was kind of repetitive and drawn out

10:22 am

There's a theory that the books reflect the seven tasks that the kids go through at the end of the first book - if you remember the fifth chamber is the one that had the knocked-out stinky troll, and the kids didn't have to do anything much themselves. Pretty well sums up book five, imo. :-)

10:22 am

hi blood! what's that bright icon today? brb

10:22 am

LOL blood -- now I have to find the word...

10:22 am

hi daisy

10:22 am

it's a clue for pu4/10 and 4 other words build off it!

hi blood

10:23 am

make that 5 other words.

10:23 am

hi smooth.

10:23 am

i gots sp8, what's the other 8?

10:23 am

I got the pu 4/10, now working on everyting else! Only 153 to go!

10:24 am

hey pappa!

10:24 am

Hurshy, you may be right about grawp, maybe she needed to have character who is a giant for something.

10:24 am

hurshy....su8. more sad.

hi stid... :-D

10:24 am

she has a LOT to accomplish to really redeem herself in book seven.

10:24 am

ty blood

10:24 am

its not often that the death of one character makes me like a series less, but I've really had little interest in the books after sirius's death

10:25 am

hey smooth, is that a self portrait?

10:25 am

yeah, i think that was a bad move. book 5 overall just... disappointing... but maybe somehow she'll make it make sense and seem worthwhile in the end

Done, I'm gonna run outside to smoke and come back to clue for a few.

10:26 am

maybe she will ... and I wish I felt hopeful she will ...

lol chj don't I have wonderful legs? HA!

10:26 am

NOOOOOOOOOOO bunny don't do it!!!!!!!!

10:26 am

yay bunny!

10:26 am

yahoooooooooooooooooooobunny

10:27 am

he's hacking to show bunny the effects of smoking

10:27 am

Hs are hideous

10:27 am

tor said a word!!!

I did some promo work for a group of burlesque dancers here, and got some great pictures that would fit... but like I said, they aren't the mildest pictures I've ever taken

10:27 am

Yeah, it was the cig smoke . .*koff*

10:27 am

and using a word, and causing me to use a word

10:28 am

oopsie . .

10:28 am

oh -- wondered about that. I just stop breathing around it... can't go to houses where anyone smokes. My lungs close up. :-(

10:28 am

thanks for the word, though!

10:28 am

it's ok tor...i still love you...

10:28 am

oooh funny story.. go on, hurshy. :)

10:30 am

i got an email this morning where they apparently didn't have the field for my first name filled in in their database, because the subject said, "Null, Order your Personalized Christmas Ornament Now!" isn't that delicious irony?

10:32 am

despite the temptation to make up stories using weird words...

10:32 am

10:32 am

in sidney...the power was out for over 20 hours on monday/tuesday

10:32 am

10:32 am

That's a hoot, hurshy . . .I like the ones that try to look like hand written letters, and they're addressed to "Current Resident" ..

10:32 am

10:32 am

i think i'm done through the Es...

10:33 am

10:33 am

10:33 am

I wish...my parents are in mexico!!!!!!!!!1

10:34 am

10:34 am

anywhere else to get clues?

there is a list in babanon

10:34 am

yep. we're at dewpoint, too, bunny. Can't see the tops of the trees a couple houses away.

10:34 am

give your heart and soul to me and life will always be la vie en rose...

10:34 am

I took some video and posted it on youtube

10:34 am

there is, pappa? hot dayam. lol.

10:34 am

10:35 am

10:37 am

Babblers in Lu4/5 ..

10:37 am

cheers angelsong!

10:37 am

yes bunny, they should be fine. The real problem is when things thaw too fast after a freeze. The tops may die back a little, but they should be okay if it didn't get TOO cold...

10:37 am

YAY angelsong!

10:37 am

Hooray angel!

10:37 am

wtg angelsong

10:41 am

hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes

10:41 am

I get confused if I don't actually sing along with it!

10:41 am

{{{NANCY}}} haven't seen you forever! you okay?

10:42 am

10:42 am

i love songs that have lots of words that you have to sing really fast :)

10:42 am

i hate that song.....

10:42 am

ni6,18 ni + nickname for Ms Fitzgerald ( famous female jazz singer)

ni 6 - ni + wishing w*** + vowel

10:43 am

ooh, thanks for that ni

10:43 am

Hi Stid, yes, just rolling along in the sunshine. I do really feel bad :) for the people in the snow and cold though.

10:43 am

i want echinacea

don't feel bad nancy, some of us loove the snow. :)

and cold

10:44 am

i mean the word, not the stuff

10:44 am

I like Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" for that

10:44 am

got that ni -- kept going the wrong way!

I enjoy the snow, it's a rare treat.

10:44 am

I want mercenary and macarena

10:44 am

and yakko's countries of the world song!

10:44 am

i want "kiln"~

10:44 am

noo...blame Canada!

10:44 am

good to hear you're okay. inundated with snowbirds, I expect though!

10:44 am

I want chocolate!

10:44 am

i don't think macarena would count

10:45 am

still want it LOL

10:45 am

bunny, thanks for the clue, and smooth, I put in my time in Michigan and froze many a year.....

10:45 am

if i could wave a wand and give you macarena, i would

10:45 am

stid, how are you doing these days???

Ooh, Stid, I still have fundge, turtles, triple chocolate cake and brownies left over, help yourself!

10:46 am

Nancy, i spent the first 27 years of my life in minnesota. Tell me about freezing!

10:46 am

I am well. This is the first day since before Thanksgiving that the kids have gotten to school on time... it is wonderful.

10:46 am

fundge??!!

10:46 am

thanks bunny! *munch munch*

10:46 am

yay stid!

oops, fudge...

10:46 am

*giggles* fundge doesn't sound as nice ...

10:46 am

wow, bunny. i think i'm going to O.D.

10:47 am

*tries to refrain from spoiling her lunch by eating moose munch*

10:47 am

gail, so you can understand my not wanting to freeze anymore.

I can't eat it:(

10:47 am

for sure, Nancy! That's why I'm in SO CAL.

10:47 am

why not, bunny?

Chocolate allergy.

I can have white chocolate though.

10:48 am

I just ate leftover shepherd's pie for breakfast...

10:48 am

i think the temp here is in the 60s, and i've turned on the furnace (talk about a weather wimp!)

10:48 am

that's a bummer, bunny

10:48 am

*gasp* that's the worst, saddest thing I ever heard...

10:48 am

i had a friend in HS who was allergic to chocolate - poor thing used to just smell our candy wrappers

10:48 am

super logo gail

10:48 am

aww, geezo, bunny!

10:48 am

woot, got the T's

10:48 am

I can eat virtual chocolate with impunity, but allergies to wheat and animal milk make me very cautious in real life.

10:48 am

go hurshy go!

10:49 am

I have less than a hundred to find

10:49 am

I have less than a hundred to find

10:49 am

i know people with wheat allergies, stid. they do have to be very very careful.

10:49 am

i have 19 to find

83 here stid

10:49 am

good thing i'm reading the nine tailors now, helped me get sl6

Think I'd rather be allergic to chocolate than wheat, can't live without my wheat bread and pasta.

10:50 am

there are a lot of wheat-free products now.

10:50 am

my Tom makes me bread without wheat. fortunately, it's not a gluten allergy, but one of the other proteins in wheat.

10:50 am

same here bunny! I adore chocolate ... but a lifetime without pasta? unthinkable

10:50 am

you brits don't spell it cancre?

10:50 am

what bugs me is that they charge more $$$ to take stuff OUT!

10:51 am

LOL hurshy!

I agree gail!

I better get unless anyone needs a clue. Housework with my named plastered all over it.

10:52 am

later bunny... (not far enough along to need clues)

10:52 am

k, bunny. take care.

10:52 am

i'll take a clue on the top E

10:53 am

ec + endo***** (immune system stuff)

10:53 am

That Babanon is ridiculous - it doesn't matter what user name & password you enter (even straight from their confirmation email) it comes back with invalid password

ec 7/36 - ec + take a bit out of ***m* (drug dog saying), replace m with another cons

10:53 am

ec = of or pertaining to certain sweat glands, distributed over the entire body, that secrete a type of sweat important for regulating body heat

10:53 am

ce 5/12?

10:54 am

a plethora of clues! thanks, got it

10:54 am

i got to see the smithchick's list w/o logging in, anike.

ce 5/12 - ce + increase in pay rate is a ***se, switch around the vowels (def. - a white-to-yellow, heavy powder)

10:54 am

you only have to log in to post, not to read

10:55 am

ce 5/12= ce + spanish river, but use different vowel at the end.

10:55 am

bichons look ready to go out for their walk!

10:56 am

spelunk would be good to have

Ya'll have an excellent day, I'm gonna get to cleaning! Bye now.

10:56 am

*peers at bichon to see if she has to go for a walk*

10:56 am

i'm working on the Ks. ugh.

10:57 am

thanks guys and gals

10:57 am

10:57 am

10:57 am

10:57 am

BAAAAD, chj!

11:03 am

11:03 am

yes, that's weboggle - log in as Team Babble if you want to join your score with any other babblers who happen to be around

11:04 am

the louder the groans the better the pu4/6

11:04 am

yay for weboggle!

11:04 am

Oh good - it is bad for my ego to play solo there. anyway, someone else started using my usual name there lately.

atal, yup, that was it. i didn't bookmark it cuz then i'll be forced to waste time over there, too!

11:05 am

WOW! I got to halfway! going to drink some coffee and eat my breakfast cookies (they're oatmeal, so it counts!) and then be back.

11:05 am

i still need 2 CR's, what CAN they be??

11:05 am

does anyone have a list of the 7's yet?

plus, weboggle doesn't work on Mozilla so I had to launcht eh self destruct (IE) to use it

11:05 am

yes, I'm having trouble with the cr's also

11:06 am

i have 5 of them, cr, ec, hu, pu, tu

11:06 am

i have: cr7 ec7 pu7

hursh, you have the ones that sound like embrodery, but the 4th letter is diff?

11:06 am

weboggle works fine on mozilla ... well it does for me :)

11:06 am

weboggle works on mozilla usually

11:06 am

elis, ummm, very archaic!

11:09 am

11:10 am

i always say, i'm so fond of the spaces between battlements on a castle.

11:10 am

you and i? are we going on a date?

11:10 am

it's not that unusual in the adjective form though, that's how I got it by back-formation.

11:10 am

11:11 am

tu7 is latin pl of tu6

11:17 am

there was a person named cr 5/22? wow.

11:17 am

11:18 am

11:18 am

You're welcome, Enemy.

11:18 am

Yes - DNA man

11:18 am

there are two cr7s. exactly the same excpt 4th letter is diff consonant

11:19 am

oh --- right! my friend studied with him at Cold Spring Harbor. I have heard a LOT about him...

11:19 am

The other is formed in the same way, Bloodaxe, but uses a different consonant in the middle. All to do with battlements and the spaces therein.

11:19 am

thanks gwen.

11:19 am

Hurshy, that was my last of the top Cs you're an angel

11:20 am

gotta get one more before lunch...

hursh, your mom's cousin was Rosaline Franklin?

11:20 am

no, she was just an assistant, she's not famous. her name is jan.

i'm off to lunch as well. i mean real lunch, out of the house LOL. see y'all later!

11:21 am

in my experience, having hung out around biology labs off and on most of my life... there is no thing as "just" an assistant. We all know they do much of the work!

11:21 am

well, yes

11:21 am

11:27 am

11:27 am

hi chic! Lickety isn't working but smithchick put up the first letters at BabAnon...

Lickety's list isn't updated for today (or it wasn't earlier on)

11:27 am

11:27 am

11:28 am

oh *duh* the Aussies are still asleep, aren't they? L:OL

11:28 am

12:13 pm

the other is a plural to the second cr 6/21

the ship's cr** + the **evated train, then plural

tink, but only rest them when it doesn't pertain to me

puppies need that safety at times, doing it to adults is something else, imho

1:59 pm

bgmadden, hahahaha. oh sooooo true

2:00 pm

Oh don't worry smaller, I've already sent my morning message for there will be no whine...lol

2:00 pm

I wouldn't ever do that to a puppy, but that's just me! Babble time is *very* important though!

2:01 pm

tink, woohoo!!! he'll just find something else to whine about anyway.

I did it to my puppy when she was tiny, while I worked. I came home every two hours, luckily I could. She quickly grew out of it and by then didn't seem to need it.

2:01 pm

I don't think there's anything wrong with crate training a dog if you do it correctly. My Parent's dog sleeps in his crate but he also uses it as a refuge when the house gets crazy like with a party or something. They never lock him in, they don't have to he goes in on his own.

2:01 pm

Atlante - uh, the puppy pees on the foor if I leave the room for a minute.....

2:01 pm

tink, so take a trip to portland and "fix" each other

4:46 pm

johammer and mlwalla -- if you use Lickety's list there is a box at the top where you can type in the words you get and hit enter -- the word will go to the right spot in the list so you can tell what you need. Beside that box is a little black square containing a ? and if you type the first 2 letters of a word and hit that, it will take you to the list which begins with those letters.

4:46 pm

congrats fiz!!!

4:46 pm

Oh, Inge, I'll wait -- does he think the cuttings in a water glass method will work? If so, may I make several cuttings from just one strand?

aknitter - I didn't finish yesterday's. Felt so ill, I couldn't focus after half way. Went to bed about 10pm and then got up to take cough mixture after about 3+ hours and then got up after 5+ hours so as not to disturb partner anymore with my coughing. Tried to finish grid then but it flipped 2 mins early when I still had about 80+ to go.:(

8:32 pm

i do not like leaving things half done

8:32 pm

the word is spelled canker

8:33 pm

nope cancre -- as in VD sore

8:33 pm

Hi 8201girl! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

8:34 pm

Thanks. Nice to be here

8:34 pm

Actually,I need the second tu 512 word if you have it

8:34 pm

8:35 pm

2nd tu5/12 - the man who makes your piano melodious.

Yep,that's it Jacula!Thank you so much for the clues!

8:35 pm

y/w, Min.

8:36 pm

LOL, aknitter. Same here.

8:36 pm

ok...off the phone with my sister and can devote full attention to grid and chat

8:36 pm

i think i have read of them in ancient books jac

8:37 pm

Welcome back, Dorens.

8:37 pm

aknitter - Me, too!;)

8:38 pm

thanks jac.... your goodgifts.org has some fascinating stuff

8:38 pm

Jac, yes we6 is a sausage, but we call them hot dogs

8:38 pm

Dorens - It does, yes!

8:40 pm

lbd - that's what we call them, too. The proper sausage for a hotdog is a 'frakfurter'. I don't like those, though. I prefer 'proper' long pork sausage. Aren't the we6/30s those sausages on sticks?

8:40 pm

are you involved in it (vested interest) or just passing at along cause you know we babblers would enjoy it?

8:40 pm

Dorens - just passing it along because I thought the rest of you might enjoy it.

8:41 pm

Jac, those are called corn dogs...yuck.

8:41 pm

well, thank you... we do

8:41 pm

*frankfurter. See! Said this stupid 'man 'flu' I've been infected with has zapped my poor brain.:(

8:42 pm

lol Jac, i knew what you meant

8:42 pm

but we knew what you meant....and most of us have been known to throw in a typo or two....all only human

8:42 pm

i think i'll go and knit a bit BBL

8:42 pm

lbd - Glad you said 'yuck' 'cos I've always thought they looked revolting.

8:42 pm

later AK

8:43 pm

See you tomorrow/later, aknitter.

8:43 pm

bye knitter

8:43 pm

bye

8:43 pm

i don't like corndogs or hotdogs...gag. i'll eat a bratswurst on occassion, only if there is absolutely nothing else to eat

8:46 pm

ok, so now I'm down to the last two and have been looking at these for a while. getting tempted to ask for a clue, but not just yet

8:46 pm

ask if you need to Dorens

8:47 pm

bratwurst - my ex used to love those German sausages. Never liked the look of them myself. Spanish chorizo is nice cooked with mixed lettuce, beetroot, gherkins, virgin olive oil & balsamic vinegar.

8:47 pm

yayyyy got them on my own (it was the tu 6/7 combo) fireworks here (thanks anyway lbd)

8:48 pm

(You do need to drain the fat off after cooking the sausages first though.

8:48 pm

Well done, Dorens!

8:48 pm

spanish chorizo makes the best huevos rancheros jac

8:48 pm

whoo hoo Dorens!

8:48 pm

Good evening everybody!

8:48 pm

chorizo is good, i don't mind the taste, the smell gets to me tho.

8:50 pm

Hi Charm. I'll try not to breathe or cough on you. (I have The Dread Lurgey!)

8:50 pm

Hi, TO.

8:51 pm

Dorens - Not tried that. I see it's recommended as a breakfast dish?? I'd try it for later in the day but prefer something bland for first meal of day.

ah5/14please?

8:51 pm

a = bottom of ship

doh! ty dorens and congrrats - just saw you finished

8:53 pm

Hi 72 Temple Owl? How are you? Welcome to the grid!

hey min!

8:54 pm

Hey, Min - doing well.

8:54 pm

Hey, TO

8:54 pm

The Dreaded Lurgey is the 'Man 'Flu' that is currently sweeping the world (or the UK at very least). It's horrible! It begins with a dry, tickly cough an a bit of a sore throat, then you get a little light-headed. You alternate between being freezing cold & burning up. You cough so much you feel in need of an inhaler.

8:55 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the sp 5/22 word please

8:55 pm

Never mind! I just got the sp 5/22 word. Thank you!

sounds perfrectly dreadful : (

8:56 pm

Min - sp5/22 means 'energy' or 'cheek' or 'nerve' everywhere but UK. Here, it is another word for 'male seed'.

8:56 pm

TO - It is! Take care to spray the chatlog with dettox or something!

lol! if you can give me the two words after the cr5 fishing basket/s, we'll call it even!

8:57 pm

Jac, sounds terrible...how long have you had this?

8:58 pm

those two cr words are like the 6/7 combo that follow, but change the middle consonant, temple

8:58 pm

Dorens - it began on Sunday/Monday.

8:58 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the tu 5/14 word please

8:58 pm

a week of that?// keep it on your side of the pond, please

ok that would be cr6/21 and 7/32?

8:58 pm

TO - cr6/21 & plural 7/32 are the spaces between the merlons (sticky up bits) on castle battlements.

min: long blouse or shirt

8:59 pm

10:00 pm

10:00 pm

oooh now chj looks like rennie's twin

10:01 pm

i think i need a splint for my arm

10:01 pm

there are plenty of splinters

10:01 pm

there's plenty of splintered wood for that

I once was well acquainted with a man named joseph dunn, a very special kind of man who like to have some fun. he courted well and married was, by the age of twenty-one, and a very respectable family had mr. and mrs. dunn.

10:02 pm

and plenty of towels for binding

10:02 pm

hey everyone!

10:02 pm

29 to go here

10:02 pm

Hi HK, do you know first aid?

10:02 pm

a w=oody splint

Chours: for there was high dunns and low dunns and over dunns and under dunns.. All the other younger dunns in and out they run. There was young dunns and old dunns and young dunns youngest son young dunn will be a dunn when old dunn's done

10:03 pm

lol smooth, i wish i knew the tune, it sounds like a cute song

10:03 pm

Oh Lord! What have I missed?

10:04 pm

i have band-aids, neosporin, ummm - don't move a person until the ambulance comes - yep, that about covers it

10:04 pm

keys, towels for binding? what's been going on whilst I was away?

In the course of time, the mr. Dunn, he found himself a wife and soon he found he had to fight the hardest fight in life to keep their little bellys full, and a wife that weighd a ton, and any man who can do all that you'd havce to say well done!

chorus again:

10:05 pm

a lot Jac, woulfie is opening up the jacuzzi, but chj ran into the door, and popped out his front toofs and hurt his arm too.

10:05 pm

Just a typical day in Babbleonia, Jac

10:06 pm

I have my cossie on!! get that cuzzie open... it is cold out here!

10:06 pm

good night everybody. eyes need toothpicks to stay open tonight....

When Mrs. dunn presented dunn with their first bouncing son they called him herbert shamus dunn and named him cherry plum, and when the bread of life went out and child did more did come: says Mrs Dunn to Mr. Dunn, more better will be done.

10:06 pm

we have splinters charm if that will help

and that's it, I think... a gerat fun irish song.

10:06 pm

hey hey mrp!!!!!

10:06 pm

10:06 pm

10:07 pm

10:07 pm

Jacula -- I see you're here -- just got back from my delicious frozen commercial lasagna and I stick by my guns. Maybe you can't get it in the UK -- microwaved Michelina's Appetito Lasagna Bolognese -- better than any home made I've ever had and a boon to old singles like me!

10:19 pm

10:19 pm

So I'm still looking for ni and the 2nd sn 5/10

10:19 pm

jilli -- I do forget the international nature of the log, but at the same time it is amazing how commercials can sometimes be the great link between cultures

10:19 pm

no Jac -- won't help! sleep, hot lemonade... sleep... and a warm blankie

jac: how are we supposed to clue evan? I don't speak latin...

brb

10:19 pm

EGO said , EGO operor non narro latin

10:21 pm

Also need a trip to the recycling centre. Can be done over Sat/Sun though.... *toddles off to open a bottle of white wine*. It might do more good than cough mixture!

10:21 pm

10:21 pm

anike: ni + spell out the letter before M + vowel

10:21 pm

10:22 pm

10:23 pm

jilli - I will have to add that to the wish list as well

10:23 pm

I never took Latin. French, Spanish and Italian. I am very ungrammatical!

10:23 pm

later Jill!

10:24 pm

Hooh! Reality TV -- check out Babbler's icon!!!

I can do english spanish, some german, italian french, rssian, and a smattering in a few more... but no latin. lol

10:24 pm

I took french in 4 and 5th grade, latin in 7-9th grade, german for about an hour, and two years of italian.

10:24 pm

reality TV? oh dear, I think I'll stay with my usual icon.

10:25 pm

I can read most of what pappa said, but only with difficulty. Ya ruska vari vu tolka pangliski!

10:25 pm

omg! that is worse than Ankh's hamsters!

10:25 pm

I've found a couple of fun icons for the reality tv thing.

10:25 pm

Thanks Stid - Fireworks!! Must go and cut out some sewing before I'm in trouble. Should be allowed to do what I like on my birthday tho'

10:25 pm

that is to say, I speak only English (in Russian)

10:25 pm

whoo hoo anike

10:26 pm

stid -- what language is that?

10:26 pm

YAY anike!

10:26 pm

happy birthday anike!

10:26 pm

So, none of you studied the Welsh language, I guess?

10:26 pm

ok, you explained

10:26 pm

I have no idea how to really transcribe it...

10:26 pm

Thanks - see you soon

10:26 pm

give me a book and some time and I can translate most languages ;D I took Spanish in school, though I really wanted to study French -- I have found that I am pretty good at pronouncing words from other languages even if I don't know what I am saying

10:26 pm

I know bore da, Jac! and gwyn, and melyn, and glas, LOL

10:27 pm

Jac -- Welsh is one that is on the list for me to study at some point when I have time -- or at least Gaelic

10:27 pm

no Jac, but I would love to try it. it's such a beautifully melodious language, as is the Irish (gaelic)

ya gavaryu malinky russki. ya idyo na rossija dlya tri mesyatsi na Nizhnii Novgorod

10:27 pm

stid - Is that like what Hazel was saying about Ulster Scots?

10:27 pm

I haven't listened to the tapes recently, though.

10:27 pm

three months in Novgorod? was it cold?

10:27 pm

Wolfie - do both if you can, but not at the same time.

10:28 pm

From learning bits and pieces of Welsh, I can understand the same words and phrases in Irish and Scots Gaelic once I get used to the mutations.

in nizhni novogord... it was... they were all winter months... oh, and ten days in moscow... in fact, I passed the millenium new year in red squarre. :-D

10:29 pm

Wow, I bet THAT was a trip, pappa!

10:29 pm

Is that when you took those lovely pics?

10:29 pm

Jac -- you taught us a few words which I've forgotten, but here's one from my Welsh uncle -- nadolig llawen (happy Christmas, I think)

10:29 pm

Another language, is 'backspeak'. It's a backwards English that wwas spoken by adults in UK in the 40s/50s/60s.

used to be called Gorki in the soviet days... it wasn't too cold though, not compared to wisconsin... but it was intense!

10:29 pm

What was that like, Jacula?

10:30 pm

jilli - Correct! A Blwyddyn Newydd Da! (And Happy New Year!)

10:30 pm

I suppose it's all a matter of perspective, pappa -- though for me 10 F is WAY too cold.

10:30 pm

20 to go

hehe... I nearly married a girl form there

go helen!

10:30 pm

stid - I can't speak it, though my ex MIL does.

10:31 pm

go HK!

10:31 pm

I guess, once you work the rules out, like knowing the Welsh alphabet, it is then 'easy'!

10:31 pm

go helen go!

10:31 pm

Iyay useday otay ebay oodgay atay igpay atinlay

10:32 pm

I never did master that one, Jill, but I can figure it out eventually...

10:32 pm

reading it is a whole lot harder than hearing it to decypher what's being said

did you just say e-bay, jili? ;)

10:32 pm

gogogo helen!

10:32 pm

smooth -- long before it existed - lol

hehe

10:32 pm

ok

10:33 pm

are you all fixed up not chj?

it is ok, chj?

10:33 pm

ebay, LOL. Hearing backspeak is easier than reading it, yes.

10:33 pm

now

10:33 pm

helen -- do you need help? Ask away!

jacula... that was bacwardspeak? we call it pig latin

10:34 pm

I gave a linguist friend a manual and CD on pig latin... *drying herself off* There is SOMETHING wrong with this computer, grrrr.

10:34 pm

no no, pappa, we call it igpay atinlay!

iyaa, inkthay, atthey allay idskay oknay ipay atinlay

10:34 pm

it's all wet ankh

10:34 pm

Yeah, Jilli, that's pig latin... were you demonstrating backspeak?

10:35 pm

*dutifully dries keyboard*

I think you got a splatter on the monitor, ankh

I think you got a splatter on the monitor, ankh

10:35 pm

Sounds the same! I must save jilli's post and get my ex MIL to read it out to me.

10:35 pm

*sighs and wipes the monitor down also*

10:35 pm

igpay atinlay, otnay ackbay eakspay

10:36 pm

Go to Amazon, enter "pigorian chant" -- my buddy the linguist is an RC priest, too, so it was the perfect gift.

lol nice ankh sounds funny!

10:36 pm

that would be a hoot to hear ankh!

10:36 pm

and there are variations, such as using iggle instead of ay.

10:37 pm

*used to speak German, doesn't any more; a few words of Spanish, that's it* Oh, Pappa, he loved it -- he was in Rome at the time -- all his buddies wanted one.

10:37 pm

funny, funny! I think I need to head out for a while. Plenty of good cluers in the room. Later all!

10:37 pm

later stid

bye stid

10:37 pm

Bye, Stiddy... I gotta go too, bb in a few. Gotta dry off the OTHER programs I was running. *sigh*

10:38 pm

so long stid

10:38 pm

pigorian chant! Would this amuse my newly buddhist son?

10:38 pm

Apparently, the origins of 'backspeak' and pig Latin are Yiddish & Romany.

lol see ya ankh

10:38 pm

What does not surprise me.

10:38 pm

how many left Woulfie?

10:38 pm

That, rather.

10:38 pm

Holy mackerel! I just thought it was kids fooling around.

10:39 pm

Poor helen, trying to get her last few words

10:39 pm

58 to go now -- cos I am being quiet

10:40 pm

gogogo woulfie!!!

has anyone here ever had any contact with south afrikanners? i spoke with a gnetnlman tonight with an accent I am not familiar ith... I thought maybesouth african

10:40 pm

jilli - No, it was serious stuff to stop 'the enemy' hearing what you were talking about.

10:41 pm

seth afrikaan? Bleck is bleck, I want my bebe back? That kind of accent?

10:41 pm

Smooth, south afrikanners have a mix of british almost aussie accent.

10:41 pm

Oh, I just love all the accents of the world.

it sounded like a lot of british, with a little aussie, and a bit more german mixed in... which is why I thought SA

10:42 pm

we have several great doctors here from Soputh Africa -- one with a distinctly Brit accent who is multilingual and a couple of others who speak afikaans and English with a Gary Player accent

10:42 pm

My auntie had a 'seth afrikaan' accent after a couple of years working there. Like me, she picks accents up somehow.

10:42 pm

mix a bit of germanic to it and that's what a south afrikanner sounds like. very crisp cut on word endings

10:42 pm

kain

I bet he was... interesting!

10:43 pm

Hi sally

10:43 pm

:) sally

anyone up for another linguistic trivia question tonight?

10:43 pm

ok

10:43 pm

Go ahead, smooth...

how many acceptable two letter words are there in the Official Tournament and Club Word List of the National Scrabble Association?

10:43 pm

always, pappa

10:44 pm

bah

10:44 pm

don't care

10:44 pm

101

10:44 pm

And "gi" and "ok" are not among them, which is a SIN.

close ankh...a bit lower

10:45 pm

Nope, 101.

as of 2006, I get a lower number

10:45 pm

101.

10:45 pm

going to get a reality clue.

what? oh my! I need to recheck... igot 96

10:46 pm

AArgh! I hate Scrabble dictionary. It's worse than Enable!

10:46 pm

Pappa, log on in the early mornings -- I think Ursh is South African.

yeah, I talk with her, in all the afrikaans I know. lol

10:46 pm

Jilli, a newly Buddhist son? Hmmm. Hmmm. I only know one Buddhist joke.

10:47 pm

Well, Pappa, maybe you're right. Maybe 101 is the SOWPODS number, and the U.S. number is only 96. But NEITHER of them include "gi" or "ok," which is a sin.

10:48 pm

And, as I have asked before, why does my daughter always manage to get 'zebu' on a triple word??

lol nice compromise ankh. ;)

10:48 pm

*rolls back chat and laughs at Jacula's most excellent Afrikaaner accent*

10:48 pm

tu6?

10:49 pm

Because she's YOUR daughter, Jac.

10:49 pm

You may be right there, Ankh! Oh, taught her too well!

10:49 pm

Jilli, pig latin was a security measure? You know about our Code Talkers in the US / WW II?

10:50 pm

tu6 - overgarment + a vowel.

10:50 pm

tu7/36 is + 2 vowels (Latin plural).

10:50 pm

Woulfie, what you might wear like a shirt + first vowel

10:50 pm

thanks -- gave me a threefer there

10:51 pm

bonus words woulfie!

10:51 pm

and indeed I might, lbd -- though I haven't been to a Ren Fair in several years

10:52 pm

10:54 pm

YAY Helen!

10:55 pm

I just tried to post a pic of my daughter's boots she went out in today. Interesting black, pikey, metal laden things. She forgot her socks and so they took chunks out of her heels,she tells me. Only got a black square for the icon though.:(

10:55 pm

in that case, could I get a clue for sn5/20? I have the one that's like a contraction for Santa Claus

10:56 pm

ty,ty,ty

10:56 pm

thanks helen

10:56 pm

sn5/20 - door catch (Northern English). sn5/20 - take a bit out of.

10:57 pm

change the middle vowel

10:57 pm

s+ what holds your head on your body.

10:57 pm

s+body part Harp

10:58 pm

yay fireworks!!

10:59 pm

11:04 pm

11:04 pm

11:16 pm

woulf! have you been sick?

11:17 pm

Does anyone have a clever clue for re 6/21?

11:18 pm

no hints needed? going to do dishes...

11:18 pm

ha6?

11:18 pm

re6/21 -- make a new seat for a rattan chair

11:19 pm

re6/21 - what the headmaster did to the naughty schoolboy when he transgressed again? Or to refurbish an uncushioned seat.

Sally: To repunish Michael fay. :)

11:19 pm

ha6 -- cab driver? ha4/10 + That Is

11:20 pm

Who is Michael Fay?

he was punshed in singapore for vandalism

11:21 pm

thanks

11:21 pm

Wow, those headmasters were tough!

11:21 pm

oh, thanks. Did he chew gum?

11:21 pm

Brits are tough

yeah, i think so

11:22 pm

Michael Fay - yet another afhd kid.

actually no... he egged something and spry painted

11:22 pm

ADHD.

11:23 pm

afhd? adhd?

11:23 pm

Attention Deficit Disorder.

11:23 pm

jac -- love your reality tv!

11:24 pm

what's the h then?

11:24 pm

Or, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

11:24 pm

The 'f' one was a mistype.

my bro has adhd...

11:25 pm

Oh, and sorry if I sound casual re the rest. I'm not really, I just saw a lot of it in a clinic ove a few years.

11:25 pm

modern disorder. Used to be called BB I think.

no need to apologize. I still pick on him for it. ;)

that's what brothers are for. lol

11:26 pm

smooth - Sorry to hear that. I'm still not convinced that the blanket term covers all.

11:26 pm

ah5?

11:27 pm

ah5/14 - a + ship part, harp.

11:27 pm

Hey, Jilli, just catching up: the Code Talkers spoke Navajo, but I guess you knew that already. And the Buddhist joke is very gentle:

11:27 pm

Vendor: so, you want a tofu dog? What do you want on it? Buddhist: Oh, make me one with everything.

11:27 pm

a + hu4/6 ( part of a ship)

it took a long time to dagnose him.. we just thought he was careless, and watched too much tv. lol he still can't drive though... he gets distracted too easially, and can't focus on traffic

11:27 pm

thanks jac!

11:28 pm

good one, ankh!!! Will pass it to Son!

11:28 pm

OK so I can

11:28 pm

I can't get to sleep yet

11:28 pm

hi gw

11:28 pm

Good evening folks. Checking in to do the final 10...

11:29 pm

I see helenk is on line - how did the tests go hK?

11:29 pm

that's what I have, too, darv

11:29 pm

Don't forget the tofu part! :)

11:29 pm

jilli -- I have had a sinus infection since Sunday -- I finally got smart and saw a doc yesterday and he gave me an antibiotic which has done wonders for me

11:29 pm

hi harp

11:29 pm

Hi, Davurs. Haven't seen HelenK chatting, unless you mean Helen Keller, and she left a while ago.

11:30 pm

scrolling back I see some fun threads

11:30 pm

I guess she didn't log off then. Maybe leaving it ready for the flip Ankh

11:31 pm

*Great fun* (not) getting locked up in the back part of a clinic on more than one occasion when a child is going nuts and smashing hell out of the doors and the wired glass, and the staff and anyone else to hand. 'He (it's usually a 'he') has ADHD. It's okay!' the staff tell us. Oh? Right? You think that whatever his problem might be then that he might not just be a bit p*ssed off at being locked up in the looney unit?

11:31 pm

my favorite Buddhist anecdote relates to two monks who are walking on a path together -- one is an older monk, the other is one of his newest disciples.

11:31 pm

Don't anyone have a go at me for saying that because I am only quoting what the kids in there all said at one point or another, without commenting on my own thoughts.

11:31 pm

The branch they follow has very strict rules regarding celibacy, abstinence, diet, etc. To the extent that to even touch a woman requires purification.

lol fortunately it never got that far jac... though i can't imagine being locked in a brain like that

11:32 pm

when they come to a river which is swollen with the spring melts from the mountaintops, they encounter a woman who cannot cross and seeks assistance.

11:33 pm

The younger monk makes a great show of not acknowledging her in deference to his vows when the older (without a word) picks her up on his shoulders and carries her across

what sort of icon would you all like to see for tomorrow?

11:34 pm

Hang on, smooth - am waiting for Wolfie's punchline.

11:34 pm

For several miles, the younger monk expresses his shock and dismay, that his mentor would ignore their vows in such an egregious manner, when the older stops him in his tracks by saying...

11:35 pm

My son, I stopped carrying her once I put her down on the other side of the river.... Why do you still carry her?

11:36 pm

Paul's quite happy to keep on seeing the stocking top, btw.

11:36 pm

excellent story gw

11:36 pm

A bit long in the delivery for a teaching parable, I know. But I love the message it contains. :)

lol

11:37 pm

I'd like to see someone put that concept on a bumpersticker (*ducks*)

so another shot from the burlesque?

you keep using my name jac. lol is that your beloved's as well?

11:38 pm

Now I'm hearing that old 'Family' song, Burlesque.

11:38 pm

Sure pappa -- I have yet to see a piece of your work I haven't liked

11:40 pm

smoth - your name is Paul? If so, yes, that's my Other Half's name. He is paul69 on here. The ladies sometimes misinterpret that as some kind of boast about prowess in a certain field (and I wuld not comment on that!). It's his birth year, as he tells them.

11:40 pm

tsk tsk jac

11:41 pm

What are you tutting about, gran?

11:41 pm

Or rather MUm.

wee, he's got a good name, jac

*well*

new icon... again, from the burlesque troupe

11:42 pm

Paul means 'small'. He hates that meaning! He's 6' 2". LOL.

11:42 pm

woulf -- glad you got that antibiotic -- last winter I had 5 colds plus bronchitis in a row and finally went for antibiotics which worked like a charm.

lol jac... i'm 5'5" aptly named.

actually my full name means siomething like "though I am small, God is my strength"

11:43 pm

good morning all

hey hodag

11:43 pm

ho ho hodag!

11:43 pm

That happened to me a few years back -- I kept getting ear infections that would return within a day or two of clearing up -- until I finally went to a clinic and got the meds to fix it for good

11:44 pm

hey ya Jill

11:44 pm

*turns the temp up in the cuzzi as it is getting chilly*

11:44 pm

can anyone clue the last ha5/14 for me please

11:45 pm

I will say again... antibiotics DO NOT work against any kind of virus. They only work against bacteria.

11:45 pm

ha5/14 -- to improve - usually with en before it -- rhymes with trip the light fantastic

11:45 pm

true, Jac -- but when they appy they are wonderful

11:45 pm

oops -- apply

no comments on the icon? should i change it?

11:45 pm

cuzzi?????? ******CANNONBALL********

11:46 pm

davurs - if you wanted to make a photo of you look better, you might enha** it using photoshop.

11:46 pm

That's not a comment, btw. Just a clue!

11:46 pm

jac, that's why I didn't get antibiotics at first -- I'm WELL aware of that -- but finally, there must have been bacteria lurking as well

11:46 pm

{{MAMABEAR}}

11:47 pm

11:48 pm

gogogodavurs!

11:48 pm

Aw, jilli, I jut knew you'd have a go at me re that. Cough, cough! No, actually, not coughing now. Apart from the temperature changes twixt hot and cold, I'm breathing quite freely now.

11:48 pm

Ribs still hurt from all the coughing though.

11:48 pm

sorry, smooth -- I am still getting the old one -- I need to clean my cache it seems

11:49 pm

jac, I know what that's like!!! Try just getting over it and having it start again -- 5 times

11:49 pm

I had a friend blame it on my having had a flue shot

oh. lol It's from the same shoot... one of my favorites from it... but not one of the girls' favorites

11:50 pm

8flu

11:50 pm

*flu

11:50 pm

brb

11:51 pm

I haven't seen anyone for .... ever! How is everybody?

11:52 pm

that's better --- not bad, though I would have preferred a different tilt to the head -- A hint of eye would make it better... to my untrained perceptions )

11:52 pm

)

11:52 pm

{{{Mamabear}}} hi!

11:52 pm

{{{{stidmama!!!!!!}}}}} hi to you too!

11:52 pm

my keyboard is sticking making it hard to :)

11:52 pm

mmammmamammaama....mamma...mama....... .

I thought about that woulf, and I may even hgave one like that... but I like that her eyes are obscured... for some reason it makes me sense mystery

11:53 pm

rrennnnnierenrenrenrneieieiei....renni e....rennie...

11:53 pm

hi ren!

11:53 pm

Hiya Renster :)

11:54 pm

hey faerie!!!!!

11:54 pm

hey ya stid!!!!

11:54 pm

Hello dear Stid :)

11:54 pm

hi faerie!

hi faerie!

11:54 pm

how's your mother doing this week? did you get any snow? I am ready for spring already!

11:54 pm

I can see that too, smooth -- as with all art, it comes down to personal taste (which is why I can't stand art critics who try to tell me what I should like)

11:54 pm

Hi Pappa - just like The Waltons saying goodnight LOL

11:54 pm

jillli - your friend may not be wrong about the 'flue shot thing. My neighbour over the road was ill for weeks after her first shot of that. I've not had a shot yet (not old enough). My Mum had one, was ill for weeks, didn't have another.

11:54 pm

evening all

11:55 pm

who's calling the odds?

11:55 pm

my mother had a reaction to her flu shot this year, first time she had trouble with it -- but then, they let her take it when she already had some sort of virus (which is a no-no)

11:55 pm

hi Crone!

11:55 pm

Could someone clue the 7's for me please, with 30 to find in 5 mins, I would like to get the bigguns -- I have the 8's

11:55 pm

stid no snow here and Mom is still doing well. Just windy and chilly right now but suppose to be getting colder

11:55 pm

hi Crone! I think we're overdue for 378 words...

11:56 pm

hey crone..you want me to call you odd?

lol good call woulf... I cvan't stand that either... ;)

11:56 pm

Woulf, the last sp 6 has an alternate ending for a 7

11:56 pm

I have noticed that the grid has been trending towards bigger grids on the weekends lately

11:56 pm

sitd - normaly, I'd be happy to see 378 words, but, in my present state and with Xmas looming....

11:56 pm

aaargh!

11:56 pm

there is a latin plural for the tu 6 (which adds a vowel to the tu 5 "shirt")

11:57 pm

there is more pu 4/10,

11:57 pm

(((Jac)))

11:57 pm

what is the theme today? Can't seem to pick it up from the chickens watching tv and the ladies of the nite icons

11:57 pm

there is more gorgeous (like a guy) hu 4/10

11:57 pm

there is a plural cr 7

11:57 pm

I should be going to try to get some sleep now, but I'm hungry. Going to make some toast and then we'll see...

11:57 pm

so far so good, stid

11:57 pm

hmmmmm I'm guessing 283

11:58 pm

and ec 7 is ec + the underskirt for poodle skirts in the 50s... + vowel

faerie... can I ask you something?

11:58 pm

sure Pappa

11:58 pm

there are actually two cr 7, both plurals

11:58 pm

I think that's all of them, woulf

did you just send me a friend request on myspace? in the last day or two?

11:59 pm

oh man, it's about to flip...

11:59 pm

cr7/48 = needlework; cr7/32 = cr7/48 change the middle consonant; ec7/36= ec+endo***** problems; hu7/52 = more hu4/10;

11:59 pm

simpler clue for the ec

11:59 pm

Yeah fireworks just before the flip!

11:59 pm

I don't know ... I got a request from someone and I accepted and saw them show up on my messenger and wanted to ask and see who it was ... could have been you

11:59 pm

YAY davurs!

11:59 pm

we got about 7" in eight hours with hi-winds.Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas(singing)lalala

11:59 pm

wow hodag!

lol i'll talk to you after the flip faerie

11:59 pm

but I don't have your IM address or email sooooo not sure if it's you or not lol
