recap on the 7's: de, nu, pe, re x2, st x3, ve and vi -- anyone got one of the missing ones?
That explains the nick, blombol :) It is very close to the dutch word for flower bulb :D

some of my best friends have eyes...

nan, do you have 4 W words that are related to husband?
thanks sprite - that prompted me to find the two legged dragon

sprite - those words always remind me of "Kiss Me, Kate" - one of the songs: "I've come to wi** most wealthily in Padua. . . "
grin melon!
and if wealthily then happily in Padua
from the same root, sprite?
yep - and a rather olde English suffix

Actually I was thinking of the "Atomic Shakespeare" episode of "Moonlighting"

Hi veda
hiya ang! do you by any chance have an ne5 worth 20 points?
I have just noticed I have no n words at all - will look tho
I will ne 5/20 do that again veda!!!!!
the ne is spelled like a car rental company
I should check the word first - that's only a 16!!!!
yes angb, make sure you ne5/16 make that mistake again!
does it use the 5 point tile joey? I can't recall and car rental companies.
I had better go and read poetry to my 6 year old - I'll probably fall asleep. So sorry veda ... I go away with head hung in shame!
does it use the 5 point tile joey? I can't recall and car rental companies.
does it use the 5 point tile joey? I can't recall and car rental companies
no, the 6 point. it also could be a homonym for a plural pain
ick. browser froze.
aha, I forgot all about the 6 point
got it?
indeed I did! thanks for the fireworks!
you are welcome and congrats. funny - that was my last word also
I forgot all about the 6 point, so I was trying to build the score with the 5 point. "nepwi" was tried a number of times.
Good morning all....a clue please for the pr9?

So you're not having icecream then Julie!
ang, i have de8 and ov8, what's the last one?
yes bundy
vi 8 - not that I have it
vi8 that is plural of a 7
nope LOL not until all kids are in school and preschool anyway lol
True - disappears too quick when there are too many mouths!
before my daughter left home I could not keep it in the house she just ate it like she was a vacuum cleaner !
My children love jelly tip icecream - it is disgusting ...
she's the kind that eats anything she wants and is so think, not sure where she got her genes but I want some
vi8 is defined as 'the presence of viruses in the bloodstream'
I'm a ben and jerry's fan myself
We don't have that here - local brew is Tip Top, NZ company.

lickety's game grid sure helps newbies learn how to look at the bable grid
sure does volley
lickety is a god send everyday for me
sure has been for me; hope I continue to find more and more words on my own; lickety makes this so much more enjoyable for me, even though it is a challenge
it does get easier volley
thanks for encouragement... think my old brain is really being stretched here lol
I have been playing months now and only once finished without the clues, love lickety
volley -- a Lickety trick -- bring it up in a separate window and shrink it sideways -- then you can have it visible at the same time as the grid and can toggle back and forth. Some people can have it at the side of the main page so toggling (alt+ tab) isn't necessary
okay be back after I check my bids - trying to get collector action figures (star wars, matrix, etc)
later saph!
groovy - c ya saphyre
good luck saphyre
bye saph
I've never used ebay
I've been addicted for a while jilli :) back in a bit

I won't if you don't mention rain which we so despeatlty need
Nor the cricket.
I have forgotten what the sun looks like Andree
We may have had rain but in the worng places and there are still hosepipe bans in some areas I think
Maybe they've just forgotten to lift the hosepipe bans, since they've been going on for so long.
hi this is my first time on the website :)
thats what happens here, we have rain, everyone is happy, then we here non fell on the catchments
That's right - I can't go out and water my garden now. They would probably take me away if I did

thx haz

You're welcome.
If you can have pr5/16 - (what I do every morning before I sit down to babble), why can't it be past tense or the person who does it?
hey guys does anyone have the ve 5/18
50 left for tomorrow, happy babbling all
ve5/18 - french word for goodness
bye andree:)
Extend the green looking ve4/7 by a vowel
Good night Andree, sleep well.
Later Andree
thanks haz
You're welcome.
There's a great Scots word st5/21 ( st plus the smallest of a litter of animals)
isnt it a st 6/21
Yes, st6/21 I should have said
i dont get the thing with the small litter animals. i can only think of numbers
*yawwwwwwwn* hi all :) recovering from last night's christmas party ...
The smallest and weakest of a litter of animals - four letters sounding the same as an animal noise but without the g at the front
morning atalante, hope it was a good party! :)
at lol shall we all talk quietly then lol
Greets Ata gently and passes glass of "resolve" if needed.
Good morning Atalante. Should we whisper?
nah, its not that bad :) I'm just tired, didn't get to sleep till about 3am!
and I'm still recovering from the cringe-worthy of the "comedy entertainment"!
sorry haz still not getting it
The smallest/weakest animal is ru4/5
got it
Now put st in front for st6/21.
got 22 to go
am away till later happy babbling everyone, and good luck sparkly:)

I've only just figured out what the tile stats relate to d'oh! :)
You have more than me! I'm currently trawling the chat log.
morning all
hi kate!
Good morning kthdsn.
howdy Kate
Can anyone give me anymore clues to the 'Extend the green looking ve4/7 by a vowel' one?
the ve4/7 is green in french, and add a vowel on the end for the ve5/18
sparkly, silence is a vi***e, change the first vowel
Do you have ve4/7? If not, it's french for green. Or try v plus two letter US medical drama, followed by a consonant
got it - thank you!! x
vi5/18 is the same word, alt spelling
ty fran I would have missed that
yw kate
lol I like the tw5/20
Oooh I found the 9 all by myself :D
There is no stopping kth today!
well done! that's what I'm looking for now
go kate!
i'm saving last 28 for tomorrow, good night all!
I can clue it if anyone wants
bye fran
Yes please!!!
yes please!
ok, it's based on the mo6/24 meaning new, add "before" to the beginning
Nighty night Fran
TY!
thanks kthdsn!
yvw
ok I'm loosing steam now with 103 to go lol
And me and ive still got 102....
Pick up the pace, ladies, there's a deal of work to be done......
Yes Ma'am!!!
lol haz I've got until 4pm to finish, I don't seem to have anything to do at work today
*sits up straight, and salutes*
anyone have clues on the de words?
(I sound like my hated PE mistress who bawled abuse across the hockey pitch)
I don't have any de's
I have de7 and de8
de7/48 - to withhold, de8/65, the withholder
similar words - deny someone something...
ty haz. no worries kth
TY haz
does anyone have the ov8?
Yes - ov8 - what you fear most at an unfamiliar hairdressers.
ov8/60 - to cut more than is required
haz, any other clue on the de's..brain frying and i cant get the withhold word
Bad coffee???
ty haz, I haven't got the de's yet though
The withhold word looks like the opposite of public (just a nudge, not the proper word)
fab - thanks Haz :)
ty I see it now
got it
ty haz much
pharman - I am not going to clue yo - I am going to de7/40 you of that info.
There's a cruel streak in FMitch.....
You're welcome pbarman.
haha thanks mitch
LOL yw
*sticks head timidly in window and says "Hello!*
hi amanda, no need to be timid here
Well, for heavens sake (((hugs))) where have you been!!!!
Amandacath - where have you beeeeeeeeeen?
hi amanda!
amanda!
any clues for vi8?
Gotta go, later all. Happy babbling
vi8 is the plural of vi7/44 - relating to the presence of virus in the blood.
ahh thank you
You're welcome shorty.
I've been a bad girl. I loaded a fantasy RPG onto my computer and my obsessive-compulsive behavior about games got the best of me. But I've now played it to death and am back to be obsessive-compulsive about Babble.
Well, at least you have confessed the error of your ways. Welcome back.
thanks for the vi clues haz!
Wow that must have been some game as we haven't seen you for some months!! Good to see you back though.
...just in time for a server burp, it seems...
You're welcome sparkly.
There was an article in the paper the other day about people who were having to receive treatment for games addiction. It's becoming more and more of a problem with people refusing to interact, leave their computer, eat food. Oh wait, that could be us they're describing.....
it's easy to see why people do it though, games are fun and real life can be hard and boring
LOL Haz
morning babblers
I can't get the vi's, can I have an easier clue
hi blood
kth - remember a word recently an***** - that describes low blood count (pale etc). The vi word has the same ending, put a consonant in between
i see ol' Jon Bon is sticking around kt.
Afternoon Blood
Hello Bloodaxe.
and games are made to be addictive, I'm sure
yes blood I can't bear to delete him
thanks haz that did it
Good.
...and you can actually WIN a game, or at least complete it. Something that doesn't always happen in real life!
Atal,what a cute puppy. Hi bloodaxe
I read an interesting article the other day about how real life is nothing more than a game, you just have to choose to play it
hi hodag
That sounds a bit like the plot of Life is Beautiful where the father tries to persuade the little boy that the concentration camp is a 'Build a tank' game.
That's an interesting way to look at it, kth. Could be difficult though, when the others don't choose to play along or by the rules!
could be helpful though in some situations, if you run out of money in a game you just think oh crap I'm poor, better go make more money, yet in life people can get depressed and worry about how they will cope being so poor instead of just getting up and trying again
I like your outlook on life Kate!
to hodag :D
Right, I'm going to play the game of walking the dog. 38 to go......
cya later haz, hope you don't get wet, the weathers horrible here

what companies pay for when they advertise on TV
ty sparklygem

There are 147 today
any clues for the NUs ?
im 7/36?
Oh! Then I don't have far to go!
imovert
You haven't lost the knack whilst away then amanda :)
liz, I've got little furry animals for nu (at least I think that's what they are...)
I've surprized myself, Mitch. I figured I'd be back at square one - guess it's like riding a bike
found the im7 - it's kind of like royal, kingly, majestic
I don't think I know any furry animals like that, but I'll try a monkey(!)
any other clues on the NUs?
oh, actually they're large furry animals who live in S. American marshlands. Make nice coats, if you're into that kind of stuff.
the nu's sound a bit like the healthy stuff in food
Sounds more like a health drink!!!!
ty liz and amanda
ty amanda finally got it
YW! How many biggies today? I've got 1 8 and quite a few 7's...
1 x 9, 3 x 8 and 13 x 7
hmmm....
lol
...and they're neither primitive nor imperitive (such nice almost-words)
nor priapulid. I always liked that word
Cool word, Ata! What is that?
its a type of fossil worm!
Well, next time I'm talking about fossils I guess I can drop that in
amanda, they're also the bane of existence of Louisiana folks!
*peeps in to see who is here before heading out to work*
(nu7, that is)
Good Morning Babblers.. my favorite name is Protocarpe quinquemaculatus.. so musical it just rolls off your tongue

Hi MFitch I know your here
Hi Amanda :)
I'm back
6:00am here!
yes 7:00am in the states
Much more beautiful than the actual name, i.e., tomato hornworm moth.. 7 am here
Oh I mean 7:00 where I am
hi everyone who arrived while I was busy
Hi Kate, Une, Amanda
Morning Faerie and morning Aloy and Une
I thought you meant the worms, Une. I was wondering... I know some bits of Louisiana are a bit behind the times, but I didn't think they still had living fossils
hery, faerie!
:-D
any clue on ai7.32?
"hery"?? hey, that is -- LOL!
I've got 52 wrds in very short time how is the rest of the grid :)
I know Une it's early haha
(((((((faerie))))))))
Hi FMitch ... and kthdsn, I hope things are going better for you !
I'm at 68 words, getting tough, but it might be just me

oh any clues on the "de" words

It's good Faerie lots of lovely words
good to hear, kthdsn!
yay
Guten Morgen Babblers. Too early to spell correctly, so I will stay in the other box.
Thanks Haz and Hello
god morning to you!
ty haz didnt see the letter organization there
de7 - to withhold and de8 is the withholder - Hello Faerie!
morning, inge!
HI Inge
Thanks Haz got it right off
hi inge, we don't mind if you can't spell ;)
What time do you work faerie?
I gotta be there by 8:00
Hi Haz, you're back, good walk?
how's the new job going?
Morgen, Inge... grab some coffee
Oh
Yes, we set a brisk pace - it's cold but dry. I need to head off to the shops soon, but thought I would see if any words jumped out at me.
been up since 5 couldnt sleep
lol babble is more important than groceries
But I'm not addicted.
Thank goodness, not groceries today. I'll have to buy knitting needles and wool to knit a huge blanket as a prop for my daughter's P1 nativity play (she is the teacher)
None of us are Haz, none of us are.
impressive, haz!
oh ok, that sounds much more fun than groceries, I like knitting
It'll be done on huge needles for speed - no time for fancy lacy stuff.
vo's and vi's = not my friends.
hey, bloodaxe!
I don't know if vo5/18 can be anybody's friend....
Bet you try and knit and babble at the same time
I knit on circular needles so there's more room for the stitches when i knit big things
But of course....
oh, blood, do they make you vo5/18??
hi unea!
The most exacting knitting task I ever undertook was an aran jumper for husband. It was incredibly heavy and cumbersome. So heavy that he couldn't wear it without coming out in a sweat.....
the only sweater I ever tried ended up with orangutan arms!
oh dear lol maybe you needed a lighter yarn, I knit my husband a jumper and he hasn't even worn it
thanks for the clues haz and unea.
That particular aran jumper ended up going to Romania where the winters are more severe and the men less hardy....
LOL!!!
I gotta fly outta here and get to work.. 2nd day at the new job :D
my grandparents visit romania, they spend all year collecting stuff to take then pack the car and drive out for a month at a time
hope it goes well, faerie!
Bloodaxe - the vo5 can be pluraled as you probably know, and there's a connected vo7 - add in a vowel
Good luck Faerie!
Bye Faerie - have a good day.
i have all the vo's now. thanks haz. but i still don't like 'em.
Warning, bad Latin pun: "In vino vo5/18as" - unfortunately it's not a word...
:0D
But the right latin phrase ending is - ve7/40
ty haz
Oh! almost though! Just found the vo7. Had the ve7 (that's how I came up with the pun...)
Hi everyone, I am in the grid today!
So we see, and you're worth points as well.
hi, pe**.. you sure are
hi pe** hadn't noticed that
good bad latin pun!!
off to take the pups out for an early morning pee --BBL
Bye Une - see you later.
ok...can i have come clues for the vi's? i have the 4/7
vi7/44 and vi8 - having to do with the presence of virus in the bloodstream
there's a vi5 that's the same as the ve5
vi5/18 - a vowel short of the opposite of vice
Or, vi5 - on its way to being 'almost'
I have a vi5 that is a cute little bird
thanks haz and kt.

would someone please clue the 9?

nut - wrap up warmly first.:)
I'm going to propose to Gary then, we are married but I want a blessing in church so will propose :o)

raelite, have you seen those ninjas lately???
I'm not supposed to be Babbling, I'm *supposed* to be in the kitchen making meatballs. Just couldn't resist saying 'Hi'' to an old friend though...
actually, a new story will be posted soon about our encounter with "Fists of the Night"
I like that idea garyandjulie, how sweet. I am sure your husband will be touched.
Mom - pr9 = old-fashioned/before current trends.
hmmm...that ninja sounds kinda dodgy raelite, ever thought of enlisting the help of a pirate?
Meatballs? *drools uncontrollably* Can you spare any for my pasta bake??? : D
yes, I think that may be beneficial
i think i may know a pirate or two who come fairly cheap
Anj - I'll chuck a few extras in for you.;)
loaf of bread from your machine maybe jac ?
that would be excellent.
we love ours to
Am making meatballs in a tomato & mushroom sauce with spaghetti & garlic baguette.
pr9 = pr + vowel + Thoroughly ****** Millie
he he he...look out then, ya never know when those pirates will dive in...he he he
I"m still struggling with the 9 here...
Jacula - thank you, I am off to find the word

Jacula, thank you
thank you too Mooch, saw your clue after getting the word
yw
I'm seeing a foggy day in manila...it's very hot and muggy...in fact, there are manila envolopes and coffee mugs everywhere
Raelite, try pre + mo6/24 : )
sun dried tomato I think as we have pasta tonight
That is, the spaghetti with the meatballs and sauce and the garlic baguette serves with it. Not a spaghetti & garlic baguette. LOL.
Raelite - did you see the clues for the 9
well of course that's what the 9 is.
good lord.
Okay, julie, I'll chuck one in the breadmaker for you. It'll be done in a couple of hours...
exactly raelite
Cheese it!
I was using the wrong vowel...1 instead of e
Pasta seems popular tonight!
course jac, i just had oodles of noodles
Anj - Now you really do sound like Paul! He loves melted cheese on garlic bread, too.
we're not having pasta, we're having bean chilli with rice
katie - that's tasty, too.
Gary is cooking so found him the easiest thing to cook
Cheese in moderation then, lol. I tend to spice it a little...
No pasta here, roasted a turkey
James does all our cooking, got him well trained ;)
I'll say you have Kate
anj, cheese must be expected in babble.
Lucky you :o) Gary still learning but does a mean sunday roast and a great chicken pie
Steady 'Nut - the fish will get jealous...
I'd better go and get my pinny on. Lovely to see you again, Anj. Don't leave it so long next time. TTFN.

Alive, I mean.

bye Fiz.. take care
I was just reading through the chat...stid, we've been following that family's story too...said a prayer for them last night. I hope the dad is found soon
don't work too hard
cya fiz
boo for work...see you fiz!
has tr6 been clued?
okay, down to 40, now I really really am getting the list. back soon.
stid, yep...we made it and our final snow metled off yesterday. We keep snow a long time being up at the top of a big 'ol hill and very shaded
The tr 6 is just like the ti 5/12.
aha...thanks
I found about a cup of snow today, all that is left of the large snowball the kids rolled... LOL
I bet they had fun stid And I bet you're glad they're back in school :)
I have 16 words to go, it's been ages since I found one, I struggle so much on my last few
Same here Stid, the schoold were closed last Thursday and Friday, now it's pretty enough to go out in shorts (if one were up to shaving) today.
They never had a full day off -- just late starts, four days in a row kristin! Was nice in a way because we all got to sleep in a bit, but really cut into my "me" time! LOL
kth, could I help?
I'm avoiding housework, having a "moody" day.
help with the vi 5/18 please
kthdsn, I'm in the same boat with 17 left now.. when I go away and come back with fresh eyes, it helps a lot..
oh wow, we were out for 2 1/2 days...should have been 3 though--pretty crazy getting buses up and down the side streets where I am
M3, if you have the ve 5/18, the same
vi 5,18 vi***al reality
I need an E and an O for starters lol
ta bubba x
I find pushing my chair back from the computer really helps
looking a tthe puzzle from a distance
Excellennt clue, bubba
kkth what e do you need ?
yes, but you got hit a lot harder than we did -- south sound usually doesn't even have to worry about ice, and yet all our roads were treacherous. Had to drive the kids to the main road to catch the bus in the mornings...
I have 4em 2ev, 2oa, 1od, 3om, 1os, 3ov
I have a friend who copies the grid and turns it upside down and sideway... says that helps a lot
How bout ev 5/16, add a cons to the ev 4/7 before it.
lol raelate...maybe I should stand on my head then...this is a slow go
hm. *turning laptop upside down and sideways...*
(which is tennis player chris)
I have that one bunny
lol....the list is very helpful...especially today
maybe you need the ev 5/16 more ev 4/7
e + green in french
and you probably need the obvious ov5
I think Sinterklaas might bring me an upgrade to Pro tomorrow morning. In the interest of saving me time, since I will have the stats again. ;-)
stid...much smarter than I, turning the actual laptop upside down sounds a lot easier :)
it's totally worth it
hmm did you miss not odd and baking device then?
I have the ov5, unless there are 2
I agree, especially since it is a one time fee, not monthly.
plus you can get those crumbs out, stid!
no just one ov5
:-) K.E! We celebrate St. Nicholas' Day also! The kids are really looking forward to it...
How bout od 5, od + a measure of time
I have a cinema od5

ok, how about the 6?
hi harp!
st + 3rd vowel + green in french ( take offf last letter) for the st 6

nannywave some we look up some we are clued and some we remember from when they stump us from before
mostly I get hard ones from clues
bye dorens take care
sometimes the hard ones turn out to be easy ! only second eve so will stick with it !!
I tend to get stuck on the easiest ones.
mkl, did you get ve 7? Hurshy said it reminded her of Vermount, Rhode Island and Texas abrreviation
definitely stick with it. I didn't complete a grid for weeks after I started playing
not just me then ! lol
nope to tell you the truth tonight was only the 5th grid I have ever finished and I've been playing for just over 2 months
do you know about licketys list ?
The two d's?
??????????????
Make that de's?
de 7 and 8: when you are starving you have been ******* of food
ok just under the grid there are some links called friends of babble
hi inge
one of those links says licketys babble clues
Fish!
the de 7 is the verb, the 8 is the dioer
if you click on there to open in a new page it will tell you the first 2 letters of the words you are searching for and how long they are
hi garyandjulie
comes in handy when you get stuck nanny
kelly what fish ?
did you get the de's?
g&j -- if you are asking me about lickety's list -- yes, but I only use it for the really big ones. I prefer to go listless, or to consult Bj's 2 letter count if I have too --- lickety's list makes it too easy for the smaller grids.
no not you cybernan
had a quick look - better open a new page !!! not very savvy, me !!
annywave has only been here today and yesterday and I thought I would let her know about licketys list in case she didn't know
I tend to use licketys list after I've been at it on and off all day then give in

or close to the dog food
so is this nu...he he he
afraid of........fireowrks!!!!!
an unknown person did me the the 'favor' of plowing out my driveway and piled all of the snow in my car slot. I know it wasn't my regular snow remover because he would never do such a sloppy job *sigh*
woot!
yayyyyy TO
nu is an aquatic rodent of south america
Yeah Temple Owl!!!
Whoo hoo TO!
south Louisiana too
swimmy: a neighbor cracked my landscape timbers and packed snow when he plowed mine. this year i am buying a snow blower
metal: they are wreaking havoc in the aouthern us. displacing native wildlife. big fat swimming ratrs
snow blower would be nice, but i don't need a big one. i really don't have that much to shovel.
i have a driveway of 15 feet. that's a lot for one little old lady lol
yep, good eating though, at least that's what some of my neighbors say
time to log off and head for home. see you all from there.
Yay TO! A bit late on that due to frantic efforts to shave down my 71 left..

ne 5/20 rhymes with a car rental company
lol relarion! how are you?
LOL, sorry about the bad timing there.
bye dawg!
Well, I have a very competent guy who plows out the whole thing (neatly), and I just shovel the walkway from my house to my car. Buy this so-and-so just left me a pile of compacted, frozen boulders about waist high and at least 12' square. I hurt
Ughh...if it weren't for Lickety, no way I'd even try.
well all i really must go and do my sentence of one hour's worth of housework.
same here relarion
lbd, I knew that nu was something aquatic. I thought people ate them. They probably do but my mind couldn't handle eating rodents so it substuted fish!
shoot forgot to push enter!
meta, I do as much as I can on my own, like 50 or so, then enter them into the L. page and work my way down..

hello all
Katy.... think back to an old I Love Lucy episode where she and Ethel were both running for the presidency of their lady's club.... the ne5 word is the first word in Lucy's campaign slogan against Ethel
the im 7 means: Absolute rule; supreme power.
yep, it sure is.

night Relarion, night Meta
3.06am here in UK. Haven't been to bed yet; been writing Xmas cards for hours plus my knee is hurting from when I tripped over earlier and took a chunk out of it. 3 dressings later, it ha just about stopped bleeding.:( I finished the grid some time ago but have just logged back in here and found another phantom word - 'priapism'. If you don't know the meaning, look it up. LOL.
sweet dreams relarion
hey jac, sorry to hear about your knee
Hope you stop hurting Jac!
hi jac -- stick your leg up in the air over your head to stop the bleeding -- should have interesting results!
owie Jac
hey Jilli, how was the concert last night?
gotta go -- supper ready!
Thanks, Nat. You feel such a fool falling over when you're adult!:( Hi everyone else, I've just seen post beneath... I should have got Paul to take a grisley pic. LOL.
Concert was FABULOUS -- jazz riffs with the Nutcracker Suite and other Xmas songs
erm, that's okay Jac, we'll believe you have a really bad owie.
I have a glass table in my livingroom, and I hit my leg on it all the time, even though I know it is there, even the best of us take a tumble
If I'd fallen over in the street I could maybe sue the council. Unfortunately, I tripped over a 1/4" rise in the bricks just outside my own front door. I do know the builder who built the drive (an ex boyfriend) but I know sueing him wouldn't bring me a fortune. LOL.
Jac -- didn't mean to belittle -- just thought it might be a cheer-up -- must go -- pls feel better!
LOL, lbd. You don't want to see my pain as well as feel it then? *grins*
jilli - don't know what you're on about but if you think you've upset me, you haven't. xx
i can feel your pain without seeing it thanks. I'm such a klutz, and my imagination is already running on ov**drive
good -- just got this picture of an imaginary you with a leg held skyward...lol!
back soon...
jilli - ah! the leg up in the air thing. Well, yes, if I wasn't still ill (and 'himself', also) from the cold/flu bug thingey, the results of doing that could be interesting.
enjoy your dinner Jilli
What's jilli having for dinner then? It was mostly pasta on here earlier.
enjoy your time Jac!!!
that was suppose to be air time!!!!!
We had home-made meatballs (which Anj was trying to pinch & drooling over) + a tomato & mushroom sauce with spaghetti. Oh, and garlic baguette with it.
hodag! You used a word! Albeit with a space in it.
oooh, that sounds good jac, I made chicken fajitas
Those are nice, Nat!
what can I say.......................
Creative lot here in Babble, are we not?
ai7/32, hodag? What else is there to say? LOL.
LOL Jac..
i had left ov** homemade soup for dinner. had to eat at work since i had to teach. and tomorrow it's leftov** ham and scalloped potatoes.
Hey, I'm 50 next April and all I seem to have done on here lately is moan about various health probs. I've also just realised I began this post by stating my age. AARGH! I'm not becoming 'old', am I? No! I refuse to do that!
i'm older than you jac.
Are you, lbd? By how much? *grins*
Dr_God cranks our ages up on our birthdays. Did you know that? Sweet boy! ROFLOL.
52 Jac. not too creaky for this ol' broad, but cranky...well that's a whole nuther topic! lol
Does anyone still need any clues whilst I am here?
time to say nite-nite............cya
night night Hodag
'Nite hodag.
I still have 40 left to find, so I am sure at some point but I haven't looked at lickety's yet
Cranky is a whole 'nother matter, lbd. I agree! If the Grumpy Old Women show ever gets over to USA, go and see it. Or watch the series on TV.
Nat - keep on looking for a while. You won't need at list with this grid until you hit about 20 to go.
i can so relate with the cartoon character Maxine. she just cracks me up
Maxine - yes, she is funny. Have you seen the e-cards for her on the Hallmark site?
no, i'll have to check them out.
hallmark.com e cards section, lbd.
one of my best friends always sends me maxine cards for my birthday. she's only a year older than me, but the comments she writes are like "just wait, it WILL happen to you."
thanks for the vote of confidence jac!
Nat - you will find it's true.
lbd - I know! My best mate's 3 months older than me.
3 months is a long time when you're a child and most revaltory (is that a word???) when you're supposedly a grown-up.
revalatory? No, it still doesn't look right. I know what I mean though, so what the heck?!
i think for my friend it's her way of "being the older" since she's the youngest of 7 in her family
lbd - Yes, that would make some sense. Being the youngest of 7 must be hard work.
revalatory...are you going to show us your loo?
LOL, lbd. I could take a photo, I guess. Don't think I will, though.
lol
guess i better log off and get my clothes ready for tomorrow. gotta be kinda professional...presentation to give ...gag
How's it going, Nat? Need any clues yet?
nighty night everyone!
lbd - yes, you'd best see to all that. See you again and Good Luck!
still working, not yet
Well, if no one needs clues from me in about the next 5 mins., I will be off up the wooden hill...
13 7-letter words in today's grid, but they don't seem to have posed too many problems.
hwo about ov8 please?
never mind got it...thanks anyway.
Jee - Hi! ov8 is what you do when you prune a fir tree too much, or what you Mom does when she cuts your fringe to about half inch in length so it will 'last'. The fact that it leaves you looking retarded is beyond her, but does not esape the notice of your classmates.
*escape
Too late! Oh, well.
thanks jacula...thought I had it, but didn't.....so thanks bunches....I had the first word, and thought it went with ti4....thanks again.
y/w, Jee.
Erg! Now I'm seeing bunches (in the hair) + a half inch fringe.
I was kind of embarrassed to say, nope, don't have it after all....lol.....so since you didn't leave, how about vi7 and vi8 please Jacula? Thanks
... and some woman with a deep Southern USA accent (or a UK Sidemoor or Norfolk accent) saying, on the nightly news, 'Ah ne5/16 realised he was a maniac killer!'
oooh....bad visualization Jac....I think I have seen that killer with the bad fringe....maybe it was really a bad toupe.
vi7 & plural 8 = vi + vowel + Ms. Farrow & plural.
thanks jacula...got them.....
Jee - it happens all the time! And often the maniac killer has 6 or more offspring. How do the offspring deal with daddy's history, I wonder?
Glad you got 'em, jee.
hopefully, their mama lies about their parentage.
yeah, that would be really hard to deal with....I think about that also....too bad that genetics can make you think that you could be "bad" also.
Hi Jac and Jee; I'm trying to decorate for Christmas tonight and had to buy new twinkle lights. They are difficult to get out of the pkg; so sat down here to see if I could find any words. Interesting conversation I popped into! :D
I must say that I thought this would not be the site where I would read a funny comment about retarded people... I am quite surprised...thought you were smarter than taht
Hi Nef...you never know what you will find in our discussions, do you?
Jee - that's what Fred West's son said. Fred West was the 'killer GP' here in UK. His wife stuck by him, sad, fat and delusional as she was. I think she was damaged before she met him, but the same cannot be said of his kids. They were damaged by the life (if they knew of it) or the revelations, if they did not know before. As for the man himself, he committed suicide before I could work out why the hell he did what he did.
Where do you see something about retarded people, Annie? I'm reading about maniac killers
Jacula commented before about a bad haircut that would make a person look retarded. It was not funny, in my humble opinion
Annie??
yes?
You couldn't not be affected by hearing that you were related to that evilness.
double negative....geez!
Ah! I see. Okay, Annie, you are entitled to your opinion. I can only spealk for myself, and that was how it was growing up in late 50s,60s,70s in Britain.
In the area where I grew up there were quite a few mentally challenged persons. Each and every one of them had some haircut made 'to last' imposed upon them by the place they were incarcerated in. Or by their Mum, since they were so hard to pin down for haircuts.
Jacula, you are a grown woman. You were not speaking about the 50s, 60s or 70s. You made a plain statement about a haircut making someone look retarted. Not very sensitive to people who might have a retarded person in their family. It wat NOT funny, you meant to be funny.
*retarded
Annie - I am sorry if you are offended by my humour, but, since I have seen 2 members of my family incarcerated in 'nutter wings' of hospitals (their descriptions, not mine!) I feel you are failing to draw the black humour needed to survive such situations.
It is like that all over for retarded people and for someone of your age and intelligence, I am shocked
Annie, I see your point and I am usually offended when someone makes fun of someone who is developmentally delayed; however, Jac is not that kind of mean spirited person, and any more retarded is not used to describe people with limited mental capabilities, and I don't think she meant it that way
eeeks...
Cath - yes, eeks indeed. Dunno. We will see.
agree NatLT
is was a visial descriptor not a mental capability
visual
okay, on to a more positive experience......how about ve7 and vo7 please? and any related v6s please?
it is far more offensive to desribe people with mental handicaps as retarded that to describe a haircut as looking retarded
I need those too Jee
jac...i can relate...i have a mother with alzheimers...different scenario, but still a drastic difference in mental capacity.... similar outcome in effects on the people who love them.
ve7/40 = truth. Think 'in vino ve*****.
I am not going to discuss this any further..As I said I was shocked to see that word...and about a haircut, no less. Nuf said.
thanks Jacula
thanks jac
vo7/44 = plural of vo6/30 before it. Relates to being sick word.
Okay, Annie. If you want to take offence and then not discuss it, I can't stop you. Go well about your life anyway.
I thought vo6 was the plural?
yeah me too jee
Nope, Jee.
add a vowel jee
at the end
hmmmmmm......I'm feeling sick just thinking about it.
annie?
yucky words!!!
I'm really sorry that Annie has taken offence at things I've said. If she only knew me, she wuld not have done. Oh well, that's life.
got them...thanks
well done, Jee.
Jacula, I have a 41 year old son with Down Syndrome who is a delight to everyone who knows him. I have been fighting that word almost all his life. People are retarded, not clothes, haircuts, actions. I cant get my point across now because I am upset but you get the point.
yes, Cathyar
it's all about, it seems, political correctness Jacs...i think annie wil be fine...won't u annie? what is in a word anyway? a rose by any other name would smell as "dirty"?
shut the hell up annie, the world doesnt revolve around you, the fact that you take offense to something not even remotely directed at you is egotistical and absurd
Annie, we lost my hubby's 91 year old Anut Mildred last year. She had Down's and dementia. That word was never spoken because she had different abilities that "normal"people didn't have.
all means the same thing... retarded, handicapped, challenged... aromatic, pretty, powerful... life is too short to worry about terminology
Annie, you must be so proud of your son! I had a wonderful friend when I was in second grade back in the early 1970s who had Down Syndrome. She and I ate lunch together every day.
Now Now, alekos -- there is no need to be so rude -- Annie is merely trying to clarify her perspective
alekos...that's not nice :(
Then they changed the school, and she and her classmates were moved somewhere else.
Woulfie....long time no see!!!!
Annie - thank God you've come back. Yes, I do get your point, and I do understand. I'm sorry if a word I've used has lighted your blue touchpaper, but life is precarious for all of us. Sensitivity to certain words for parent of mentally disabled/disadvantaged/ or whatever kids is par for the course. Why on earth do you think I jump on people who use the word 'anorexic' as a generic term for skinnies? They could at leat say 'anorectic'.
Hi Nat -- {Hug} -- how's things?
hi Woulf! Hi Cathy -- thanks for giving me your cold *sniffle*
how's seb??
Stid, I always thought you were very special. My son, Bobby, travels to work by himself and takes complete care of himself also. Thank you, Stid, you made me feel better
things are good! I got a new lap top today
lol stid...cept i didn't have a cold.... tummy flu
oh! *hoping cold won't turn into tummy flu*
Seb is a little monkey!!!! He loves to climb as high as he can get and then bounce! The fact that he tends to fall over and scare the heck out of his parents doesnt' deter him at all :-D
jacula - anorexic and anorectic are basically the same word from the same root, why would that make any difference? and anorexia is not a mental disability its a personality flaw
wow, Nat! *wondering if new laptops might be contagious...*
what a brave boy!!!
stid - the bug we all had for over a week now has to get all it's gunk oout somehow... hence, tummy bug. Sorry for being so graphic!
my dad is letting me "borrow" it for a couple years
Boys Bounce! (and thank goodness they do, for all the times they leapt out of my arms when they were little)
oh, wouldn't THAT be wonderful, stid!
lol stid...you'll be fine. Hey! We got our first "major" snowfall here in atlantic canada!!! an entire 2 centimetres (less than an inch!!! LOL)
alekos - I beg to differ on that. But it's late here.
less than half an inch even! how ever will you-all cope? LOL
Poor western americal!!!
haha
hello!
seriously tho....hard to deal with when not used to it.
hiya pappa!
He scared us good earlier though -- we have a plastic chair from IKEA that he decided to climb onto and then proved to us that he could climb over the back of it as well -- he ended up landing on the top of his head from a height of about 2 feet! 8-o
hi pappa! where is this one? Not the parthenon?
Dear Lord, I cant believe alekos said anorexia is a personality flaw. Oh, Jacula, do you now know the feeling? Oh dear
no... supreme court in DC
gaawd....still 45 words left and after midnite here...guess i should quit now.
owie, Woulf! *grin* well at least he shows his daddy's good sense! *runs away giggling*
Yes Cathy, unless you are staying home tomorrow? We could bake cookies and make buckeyes (lbd posted recipe at BabAnon)...
LOL, stid!! The wildest part was that he had been on a screamy jag immediately before hand and ended up happy for the rest of the night
oh -- well, I hope I can be forgiven, haven't been to D.C. in over 30 years!
stid - boys bounce? I still haven't forgiven my ex for the time when he carried our son upsatairs (son with a head of peachy hair.. he was NOT bald!) and bashed his poor little head on the frame a aa miror atop the stairs. Head bled, son bawled, yet again!
ooooh, I love buckeyes, send some this way
lol of course stid. :)
belated Hi pappa!
hi woulf
you got it, Nat! gonna work on them tomorrow while the kids are at school for a special St. Nicholas Day treat!
Jac -- I have found that boys bounce off the floor but not the furniture
lol...my son bounces... stid...i plan to work every day the rest of the year ;) seriously...i love my job, but ya know, sometimes ya gotta take care of yerself!!!
nite all!!!!!!!!!! :) luvs
sweet dreams, Cathy!
Annie - Yes, I do know the feeling, of course I do. But I never set out to hurt you when I said whatever I said that hurt you. That's the point.
Hi smooth; haven't seen you for quite a while!
nite cath
Later Cathyar -- {Hugs}
nef? Is that you... from the other games?
whoa! hi Nef! haven't seen you in the log for a while.
yes, it is! :)
Oops! Wolfie. You horrible Dad you! LOL.
WOW! HI! :-D are you playing ankhet?
{{{{luvs hugs}}} tks GW... NITE ALL!!!!
night cath
Hi Stid. I haven't had time to do the grid for quite some time. I've done several words to a dozen each day; but haven't finished a grid in quite a while
Night, cath.
;-D
okay, I give up...can anyone please help me with the ai7 please? Hi Everyone that has just joined in!
ai 7 is what commercials on TV pay for what your breathe + hours, minutes, seconds
ai7 - what popular songs are given on the radio. Lots of...
Jacula, Of course you didnt set out to hurt me. I understand that. Let's leave it here.
I have played Ankhet under my name; but life got too busy to keep going on the computer too much
nef... you should check out ankhet.org It's fairly similar to pyroto. Turning into a really good thing there!
Hey JW!
that's too bad, I'd would be great to see you there, nef. :)
now I should have that! I kept trying both of the words with other words...thanks.
Annie - evenstevens then? Friends?
but good to see you anyway. lol
Jacula {{{{hugs}}}}} definitely friends!
okay, I really do have a nasty cold this evening, so I am heading out after I find the right icon for tomorrow. brb with a preview...
Smooth, hopefully life will slow down a bit after Christmas and I'll be there more
Hiya Woulfie! How is the job going for you?
Oh, sorry to hear that, stid. I sympathise.
heh... I know the feeling. Life has been crazy lately.
*still lurking*....YAY!!! JACS & ANNIE!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
I'm glad this family makes up, and still loves each other.
have you a new name there smooth?
by the way, nef... I just got my website put up... the address is in my profile. :-D
anyone know the theme for tomorrow, I think leslieann has monopolized my icon long enough
Annie, glad to hear that.xx
nope... smooth_pappa Have I always been, and shall be. lol
Dutch santa is theme for tomorrow.
babble brings love to the worldwide web!!! :) ahhh...
Here's the icon for tomorrow -- click on mine! (Hi again all)
Pearls is theme for Thursday.
And I'm always Nef! (BTW, I passed through your lovely town this summer and totalled my car hitting a deer about an hour west of there!)
Hi jilli - they can click on mine, too! LOL.
k...seriously gotta go to bed now...12:30 and work comes early.
Ha! nef, that's too bad. what brought you down this way?
Whoops, Seb cries and I must answer -- TTFN
King Tut of corse! :D My daughter and I did a run away to Chicago
Is Wolfi now going off to test how far his son bounces??
Return tro Babble in a day or so for the next instalment....
ahhh.. very nice. :) When you come back to ankhet, you might want to look at the eidolon dominion. Em is the leader, and it's a rteally good one to be part of
pe6 and pe7 please?
Yes, jac, and I saw via google that he usually arrives on a white horse.
Help! need pr 9 and pr 5/16. Only 7 left
by the way, nef... you haven't kept in touch with ven at all have you?
by the way, nef... you haven't kept in touch with ven at all have you?
pe6 & 7 -- allow and present tnse
Jee, pe 6 and 7 ---to allow and plural
If Em is leading a group; you know I'll join! :) As far as ven; I haven't heard from her since Katrina (I think it was)
pe 6 & 7 are No parking here except by special pe---- & plural
pr9 - before this up-to-date era
thanks jilli, so easy once you clued....thanks too Anniebrook and rhozee
hmmm... odd... considering she lives 1 000 miles away from there. lol
ok now I am festive, brb going to get some cereal
annie is just fine and yw
okay, tomorrow's icon is ready for your approval... straight vote please, will it do
clue on the PR 9
nice stid!
No, smooth, we chatted back then!
super icon, stid!!! But google insists the date is Dec 5!
Beautiful, Stid! :)
Google is incorrect. He comes in the night so that children waking up on Dec 6 have their shoes full of goodies.
ashlye -- clued at 10:34
ahhh... gottcha... oh... sethari (tavish) and issy made it safely from N.O. they are resettled in Virginia... and maybe married now?
i know i stll not getting it..
they are married; I saw the pics! (em posted them for me)
As will our children... as soon as they get tucked in, the workers must wrap and set up for the morning.
OK -- compromise -- he comes on the night of Dec 5 and the kids wake up on Dec 6.
ashlye: pr* (before) + the current era, m7 word
HA! nice. I've been trying to find some of the old gang to ge them there... P.M. and kathywan would be nice to see again. lol
pe5 and pe6 please?
and since you like the icon, I am WAY outta here. Back tomorrow mid-day our time, Jill... will you be on then?
ooh thank you!! i got it
fiend is there, though... as is chi doc, and a few people I haven't fgured out. lol and pakaran
And Stid is right St. Nick always came to our house when I was young on the night of Dec. 5th and we'd wake on the 6th with goodies in our shoes (which is odd, since we are Irish!). But it was my AUnt's b'day; so that must have made it special
night stid!
night, stid, feel better
night stid
thanks good night all!
stid -- I don't think so -- I'll be rushing through lunch to get to the library for 1 pm
sleep tight STid....see you tomorrow
okay Jill, catch you whenever then!
night, stid! Happy sinterklaasfeest
good night everyone, sweet dreams!
My worker has already wrapped up and set off for the morning.
God bless him and all of you.
pe5/20 ans 6/33 - a bird and pl -- pe + wi4/8 minus tail
night annie
Goodnight, Annie.
smooth; do you go to the pyrotoreunion group at yahoo? there are a lot of people who check in ther
annie -- are you leaing or saying goodnight to those who are?
I do every blue moon, nef... it's been a long time, though
thanks jilli, that was a strange one/two
I should go back, though. I'm sure someone has already posted about ankhet there, though
*leaving
jilli - was your meal okay?
very nice, jac, thanks -- suppled mostly by the deli department -- bbqed chicken + greek salad + frozen spiced potato wedges + a nice Rielsing
I almost wish I hadn't come back here tonight, created a real eels' nest for myself, didn't I? But, sometimes, that's the way it is. So be it.
(typed correctly)
70cl bottle of Reisling, jili?
last 3. last re 5/12, pr 5/16 and the worst is mi 5/14. I need to quit and just can't leave it until I finish!
Jacula, I am glad you were here...you and Annie worked things out and that is what was most important.
why an eel's nest, jac?
a lot of people have posted off and on. It's kind of deserted for a while; then there are a flurry of new posts and it dies out again
70cl???
jilli - normal sized bottle of wine.
JEE - THANK YOU!X
Isn't it strange how we are so much like good friends and family?
how do you make the babble game give you the answers....when you are stuck
oh -- well, not the whole bottle, jac, fer pete's sake!
MI5/14 = Miss Farrow (actress) pluralled + consonant that beegins the word.
rosewood -- we ask for clues, and we use helpers like Lickety's list
and what is Lisckety's list???
can you tell that I have no clue
down at the links at the bottom, it helps you figure out what you are missing
Cool............thankyou all so much
rhozee -- the last re5/12 is the singular of the re6/21. Maybe you mean the one before it -- re + mafia chief
rosewood - scroll down to Friends od Babble and look in 2nd column, 4th address down for Lickety's list.
tit gives you the first two letters of every word, followed by how many letters are in the word, and how many points the word is worth
Nat - you mean it not 'tit'. LOL.
rosewood -- scroll down to Friends of Babble and you'll find Lickety's babble Clues
oops, yes, I did, still getting used to my new computer
Now have a go at me for 'Friends od Babble'. Yes, Babblers ARE odd. That's the appeal.
TX Jacula and Jilibus! I need a fish on both of them. The last is the pr 5/16 . I need fireworks! I want to quit! I need a cup of coffee and a warm bed.
pr5/16 - pr*** & preen.
rhozee -- pr5/16 -- sit in front of the mirror and pr*** your hair, makeup, etc (pr + pixie)
Thanks all! I really needed that. Can't believe I missed the last one Jacula. Thanks again!
Or, failing that, take the word for the prostitute's 'boss' and give him an extra consonant after his first letter. It would servie him right!
my clue was cleaner, jac - lol!
Serve him right, I meant. Even though he does drive about in a car with blacked-out windows.
any clues for ne5.20
jilli - clean or clear? Who cares, if it hits the spot?
ne5/20 -- another way of speeling oh nuts
true, jac <VBG>
ne5/20 Rhymes with a major car renting company
ne5/20 uses the 6 tile at the end.
*spelling (too much Riesling for supper)
so Jac does that mean he is a boss for pirate prostitutes? :-D
jilli - you did consume the whole 70cl then? LOL.
thank you
hello everyone!
NO
hi mrp!
Could well be, wolfie. Hi again!
hey again -- Seb just needed his midnightish cuddle to go back to sleep
hey mrp!!
jilli - okay, I believe you. Takes at least 100cl to knock me out these days!
Woulf!! ((hugs!))
awww, woulfie!
{{mrp}}
hey wtf how to play i thot it was like scrabble or something
it's actually kinda eerie -- Seb would make Dr Pavlov a happy man --- he has certain routines that he must follow or he can't sleep
Hi MrP.
and if we alter the routine by something as simple as reversing who performs the task he knows and responds differently
kinda is prima, you have to make sure that each tile connects to the one before it to make words, like scrabble and boggle
Oh dear, have I upset you now, jilli?
hi and welcome prima it is more like Big Boggle with Scrabble scoring tossed in for good measure
Hi Peoples!
kk thx
hi jac & jilli! Hi Chic! ((hugs!))
Maybe I should just go? The nighttime me is far more honestly spoken than the daytime me.
howdy chic
hey hey ya'll
we love you jac, you didn't offend me once tonight
pe5/20?
Hi ren! ((hugs!!))
Jac, never change -- that would be the greatest offense of all {Hug}
Hi Rem servant of mine.*Tosses a stray fly in Ren's direction.*
hey hey hey -- the ren is in da howse!!
pe5/20 - pe + humour then plural
hey mep! i bought the new pirates movie yayayayayay
Nat & Wolfie - thank you.(((xxx)))
Hi GW, Ren, Mrp and Jilli and all.
oh! haven't even seen it!! lucky you!!
hey wolf! hey mistress, chic !!!
jac -- what's a cl? My bottle of Dr L Loosen dry Riesling is 750ml.
Thanks, mrp -- of course... the one combo I didn't monkey! *slaps head*
I have 11 to go....
34 to go here
I have 104 left, but of course, I am just transferring my data from lickety's page...
no jac -- I left for a minute to check the wine bottle! you don't upset me ever!
jilli - cl = centilitre, whatever that is. 2 GLASSES EACH AND A BIT OVER, i THINK. uNLESS YOU USE BIG GLASSES LIKE WHAT WE DO. lol.
Sorry about lst post - got caps lock all mixed up.
Did nt mean to yell.
a clue for the second ne 4/7, please and the pr 5/16...
could I make a request for prayers, my love's house he was trying to sell burned down tonight (with all the crazy power stuff that was going on down here) and he still had many things there, if you all would keep us in your prayers I would love that. He is taking it super hard
ve7/40?
oh dear, Nat!! consider my postive energy to be yours!
ve + girls name(s)
thanks
I guess a cl is bigger than a ml...anyway, I just had a biggish glass -- preceded by my usual 2 vodkas-on-the-rox, hehe
I;m pathetic..............117 left.
lol
even my posive energy as well
so sorry, Nat!
abso nat - will include in prayers
and of course my positive energies!! boy, when the dyslexia kicks in, it does so big time!! 8-D
oh NatLT!!! How awful!! Your poor guy!
When my Mum went to the 'bum clinic' at a loca hospital (they are surveying us all, since bowel cancer seems to be familial), they told her she could drin one glass of red wine a day with the drug (or maybe pacebo) she had been given. (We were taking part in a trial.) I bought her one of those glasses that holds one full bottle of wine, She took it into the clinic.
Haha, jac! That's the spirit!!!
I am going to get off here and try to call him, he has had a really hard couple weeks, his daughter may be really sick too, I am not sure how much more he can take
thanks for all of your concern, I will see you all soon
Nat - sending you positive vibes...
go Nat -- having you with him will definitely help him now {{BIG HUG}}
Best of luck, Nat, to you and yours -- well deserved, I'm sure
(((nat))))
Nat--best wishes--our house burned last Jan. We're just moving back. Lost almost everything. Lots of stuff to deal with--all the best
jilli - indeed it is! Any kind of recover from cancer is led by positive thinking on the part of the patient.
Doesn't always work, but it's worth a try!
jac -- I know, having had 3 kinds
miranda - Oh no! (((HUGS))) Such a loss and such a mess all of that. (I work for Fire Service, btw.)
(boob, bum, and skin x2)
Bloody hell, jilli! Sorry,. Dr_G. but you must see my point. jillia - if I were wearing a hat, i'D TAKE IT OFF TO YOU.
Thanks, Jac--we lost about 200 boxes of books in the attic (we're English profs) and, yes--such a mess. We still think we have things that we don't, if you know what I mean.
Sorry! Caps lock thing again!
me 2 jilli!!!!!! hat;s off!
miranda - books... lost... I do feel your pain. No joke.
thanks, but the hell with it (pardonnez moi, Dr_G)
ouch miranda! me 2!
miranda -- how awful -- can any of the books be replaced? They are so precious...
We've joked that our children are secretly calling each other with glee that they don't have that attic to deal with after we die--
Having said that about books, I'm aboput to embark on a book cull. The books I put in the boxes will go t the local hospital and be sold for their funds... parting is still such sweet sorrow though....
miranda, I know what you mean -- I have so many files and books and things my poor only som will have to deal with because I just can't toss anything out.
We've become pretty philosophical about it--you can't IMAGINE how many books we still have--but those LPs--about 500--we kept meaning to transfer to disk
sigh -- we lost LPs years ago to a leaky bar sink above their shelves.
but thanks for your concern--I'm so conscious about fire now--won't burn candles--even though this one started on the outside of the house, possibly by a flipped cig during a chinook wind
miranda - if you have any p[articular records wanted, just ask. I'll list them for my other half to restore for you, if poss.
And I still have some vinyl Danny Kaye with nothing to play them on...sic transit gloria mundi
This chat has been so enlightening that at the "flip", I am going to open a 750 ml bottle of Merlot while I also open and read a favorite book.
boo cigarettes
Gloria got sick on the bus on Monday?
wow--I had all of Nat King Cole
*joking* :D
my mom left me all her music - 78's 45's 33's 8 tracks, cassets, and cd.s
duff -- exactly where are you south of Puget Sound?
and a lot of jazz--Doug--a lot of classical--then Dylan, Baez, Sweet Baby James
ren--do you have something to play those 78s , etc. on?
Jillibus, I am in Olympia...right near the Capital
rennie -- can you play them?
Duff -- you're right near stidmama
de7?
Duff - you are? I will leav some rihidrat (e-hyrdating fluid) sachets in herr and a packet of paracetamol...
i do miranda - she also had a 1950's record player + her pioneer stereo system - sweet!
great!
yes jilli! i'm slowly working my way through them.
Jillibus -- While I have been "lurking" -- I had a feeling by her conversation that I might be near her.
we put a lot of stuff on tape -- now that's out of date too
de 7 = we are depraved on account we are de 7 ed (west side story)
de7 - take away stuff that you need
you should get in touch, duff -- and then coem here agin for another visit!
tu
Jacula,
de7. wolfie is what someone does to you when they don't want you finding you dearest things. de8/65 is the one that does that to you.
ty -- I hate when I misposition my hands on the home row!
Jacula -- is that a reference to our "mildly" damp climate?
don;t mess w/ wolf tu tu
de7 & plural 8 - if you grew up disadvantagedm you may have had a de7/48d childhood. Hope this post does not offend!
woulf -- I remember a Letterman show years ago with a typing speed champion demosntrating her skill -- but she had her fingers on the wrong keys and it came out gibberish
nothing like a case of stage fright to humble one;s self
brb
just goes to show, jilli, that when you have to do something that is dependent on proper position and timing --- ALWAYS take the time to double check everything!
ji;;i - LOL. I am such a sped typist.
Jillibus, I've just started Babbling and have really enjoyed listening (reading) the conversations. Everyone seems so familiar that I just haven't been so bold to interrupt. Maybe tomorrow if I see her online...I'll let her know where I am. Thx. for mentioning it!
And lol at me again for typing it wrong. Well, it is 5.31 am here!
mistress...don;t let the sun catch you typing - the nights the time for your speed
Well, welcome, Duff! And don't be afraid to dive into a convo -- we were all strangers at one point -- it is always great meeting a new friend :-)
4th dressing (lovingly applied by my daughter that time) has come off injured knee. A knee is an awkward joint to dress.
on the topic of speed typing -- I do have to admit that chatting and hunting at the same time has indeed done wonders on improving my typing speed
ren- the sunlit hours are few now.
good mistress - longer time on the chat! yayayya
1 to go...
Grey Woulf, Thx. Next time I won't be so shy. And to be honest -- I don't multitask as well as all of you. It's all I can do to figure out the grid.
Waiting with baited breath, chic...
ren - have you worked out a way to get my beloved to get divorced yet?
Done!
duff - i think torg calls it multi slacking
It comes with practice, Duff -- if you check our profiles you will see that a lot of us have been doing this for quite awhile --- just you wait
No, he's not till with wifey.
we could stake her and say we made a mistake.....
Never mind. It's my prob to solve off Babble.
I'm beginning to realize that the grid becomes secondary to the socialization. Nonetheless, it will take some practice to keep up. "Multi-slacking" -- that's me!
I think you will do just fine, Duff {Hug}
I'm not sure if I ever want to mary again, done it once. But, to be honest, I don't like him not being divorced yet after nearly 4 years. I can now see where my ex-hubby's laady (now his wife) was coming from on that one.
help with the mi5?
GreyWoulf, hugs back at ya!
Takes us all diff. times spans to recover, I guess.
hi, all!
mi+ ** you like it + last letter same as the 1st
heya tnc
Hey TnC {{Hug}}
mi5 - thik miasma and then lose a letter.
ty for the hug!
thanks ren
it's been a long day!
Hugs are good. Hugs are what keeps Babble going, especially if folks meet in real life.
anytime, TnC -- that is one of my prime functions in life -- to give hugs to deserving folks1 ;-D
Wolfie - remember pthed dinner invite to our place.xx
In college, I used to wear a button that read "Hugs - given with pleasure, received in ecstasy"
*pthed? Meant to type 'the'.
awesome!
I haven't, Jac
help with the im7?
T&C - well, what you have observed is that most Babblers are genuine people and that the friendships formed are not false.
Hi all, just waiting for flip, see what tomorrow's grid is like, then off to bed. Going to Victoria tomorrow
someone gave this clue earlier - im 7 like the margerine w/ a crown - L
I know. I love coming here at the end of the ay to unwind and socialize.
im7/36 - someone who wants to lord it over you may seem im****ous.
hi, flosey
YAY Chic!!!!! You were too quiet about finishing!!!
thanks, though I had to get Kirsten to help as I don't buy margarine :)
Flosey, I love Victoria. Will you be going to the Gardens?
last re 6?
always enjoy your profile Jilli - great briefing regarding the icons
nu6?
Not this time Duff - taking a friend over for a medical appt. then lunch and a bit of shopping
btw, welcome to Babble Duff
Thanks so much, Flosey. I'm about as close to Canada as you can get and still be in the States.
nu6 nu + 3 + first vowel
nu 6 is a big water rat wolf -
nu 7 is a bunch of big water rats
darn rats!!
well, we'll have to have a Babble gathering - there are quite a few in this general vicinity
nu6 -- luscious fur -- cashew, almond, etc + spanish river
nu6 & plural 7 sound like healthy nutrients. More face cream stuff though, I guess, Garnier Nu**** etc.
well - they are big water rats down here
last re 6?
good idea, flosey -- as you know, we had a mini-gathering earlier this year with stidmama
and Fireworks!!!!
re6 - electrify it again
yay, grey!
yes, that was before Dilly and I joined I believe
yay woulf!! congrats!
Actually, the nu words are all to do with beavers. LOL.
wtg GreyWoulf!
last re 6 - to re string electricity to your house
YAY woulfie!!!
yayyayayaay wolf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I lied, 2nd to last re 6 - thanks Mr. P!
yes, flosey -- just after Hetty recruited me
ah, didn't realize you were so new to babble jilli
laset re 6 = to change back
Well done, Wolfie!
re + ve4/7
re6 - go back to
haven't seen Hetty in quite a while, is she just too busy?
I think she's in Australia
oh lovely!
oh I need mayonnaise!
odd you posted that, flosey. I was wondering earlier where hetty had got to.
Hi everyone!
why, mrp?
will use avocado & lemon instead :)
ty!
hi volley!
And now, unfortunately, I need to go to bed -- I am up way past my bedtime these days, but I wanted to finish (and I had laundry to collect from the laundry room) -- I will see you all again soon {{{Hugs for all}}}
hey volley
am making a tuna dip... my mayo is out of date
sweet dreams woulf
bonne nuit, woulfie
Thanks for making me feel so welcome, GreyWoulf.
MrP - no one in their right mind would 'need mayonnaise! Make some yourself, it's far better, if you must have it.
pr9,72 anyone????
(((hugs wolf and kirsten)))
nite woulf!
mmm, mrp
avocado & lemon in tuna sounds YUMMY
interesting Mr. P... I just made some a couple hours ago. lol
oh volley! it is awesome!!
I definitely am going to try it.
bmb -- pr9 -- before up-to-date times
jac, find me the time, I will find the time to make it!
bmb? jilli
hi, all--here for flip...
pr9 gr8 clue jil... can apply to art, or industrial revolution
Good morning all - see the flip and off the work
an I just make a point here and also ask a question? Mayo - on sandwiches... is it totally necessary or can it be asked for in a sached on the side? We here in UK are sick (literallly) of our sandwiches being soaked in mayo.
bmb asked for a clue to pr9, flosey, at 11:56
off to work
Hi Ursh
bmb, could be bimbo or bumb or bomb or bambo!!
61 left, oh well
oh, didn't recognize the initials
hi ursh, bye ursh!
pr0 = old-fashioned/before current times.
hi bmb... cute name!
pr9, \that is.
