Okay, I have my new icon up... :) No more fort.
I made a Tikka Masala chicken curry last night and a Chinese stir fry tonight :D

this recipe had chicken, broccoli slaw, and an amazing peanut sauce

Jilli, your story, as always, fantastic... "lepers' window," amazing! Thank you, Fran. :)
cool story jilli!
Ooooh, pretty, Dee!
thanks, guys!
ty Ank; it's my brother's church

NatLT, nice to meetcha --- I used to live in Springfield. Really, Dee? He's pastor or a member? Nan, you don't fool around, do you -- an entire Cathedral!
built in the 1800's
lovely icon, volley
you too ank!
ty jil; yes he is a pastor Ank
Well, all your icons are gorgeous. Nat, I *almost* did a minaret.
thanks nan!
A very beautiful one, too!
phantom -- heretic
Wow, Dee, that must be a very big deal. Hope he likes it there. Our Episcopal diocese, just south of him in Virginia, is having a schism. :(
gorgeous icons all; great idea today for icons!

hi kier -- bye dog
Yes, Jilli, see my profile. I *think* it's the Nat Cath.
night o2b, did you finish?
thanks ankh
NatLT, I used to live by Memorial Hospital -- where are you?
I did see your profile, ankh -- just couldn't quite believe it!
no nat, I was 9 away =( but I had fun!
aww, well plenty of time for today!

I am over off of macarthur
hello all
by wash park
Oh, yeah, Jilli, they didn't finish until a few years ago. Over 200 years in the making.
hi lynxxx!
Ah! Haven't lived there in 20 years, NatLT, but still miss it.
Oh hi, Lynxx!
ankh - like St John the Divine in NY?
I have only been here a couple years, working on my master's here at UIS (sangamon state)
Ummm...maybe, Jilli? Haven't been there. Oh, Nat, I was there when it was still merely SSU, took a couple of MPA classes before I moved. :) I'm glad it's UIS now.
I love the courses, they are still working to switch the administration over, but it will get better.... the campus is rapidly expanding
brand new buis. school
Whoops, Jilli! No, my gargoyle is by an artist, not part of the Nat'l Cath: http://www.stonecarver.com/card/ hamster.html
ch7
Interesting, ankh -- will check out that link
It's in my profile now, don't worry about it dropping off chat.
Nat, Spfld needs a business school -- this is good.
Nat, what's your master's going to be?
re7 & 8
oh yeah, they have the full set of programs there now, I am working on my marriage and family therapy masters
still the HDC program

Well, good for you... congrats.
thanks, it's a long road, but a good thing
thanks nat
ankh, do you know LeslieAnn on here?
welcome fran, I take it you found it too
Yeah, we have chatted! About her wedding, mostly. :)
she married my big brother
re 7 and re 8
thanks :D!
Awwww!!! How nice! I *loved* her fur shrug; you all looked lovely. Except make your brother stop smoking, now that he's a married person and may be a daddy someday!
he 7 and 8 if no one has called it
I teased Leslie about that. Seriously, you all looked great.
yeah, he only does that when he is around that one groom's man, never buys them himself and never smokes when he isn't drinking
thanks
ankh -- went to the stonecarver site -- interesting! My son gave me a little gargoyle for my garden a few years ago -- he's sitting down (on one of my rocks) and sucking his thumb -- very funny. I keep looking for another one but can't find one.
I am the short blond that looks exactly like her husband
na 7
Well, Jilli, I'l watch out for you -- I look for garden things all the time. Ah, Nat, I hope not! Cuz he was quite masculine!
all these long words escape me as usual but I do see them later
well, pretty close, I was a bridesmaid, so you probably saw the pic of us side by side

Thanks Volley...

Jilli what a pretty little church
hey hk, i'm baha'i
i love that house of worship.
no way fran !
yup
Good choice, Flosey! Love that building. Never been three.
wow - have you been to this one?
nor I but fascinating isn't it
no, unfortunately
i've been to flosey's
Helen, all the years I lived there, I never once got to visit it. :(
very nice flosey!
oh ankh :(
spent a long time searching these - so very many interesting ones
Fran-- my icon is a picture of the Bahai gardens in Haifa, Israel.
i thought they looked familiar kkiln. my former brother-in-law lived there and worked on the gardens for a little while.
the inside of flosey's is just the opposite of mine - st. basil's is very cramped, with lots of passages & nooks & the baha'i temple is completely open inside
interesting hk
The gardens are magnificent...they have about 200 people volunteering and working on those gardens.
The gardens are magnificent...they have about 200 people volunteering and working on those gardens.
kkiln - that is your usual icon, right?
Right
it's a shame how the true beauty of some things really doesn't come across well in pictures
Have to run....see you later. Have fun Babbling!
pa7 if it hasn't been called
i wanted to find a good close-up so you can see the intricacy of the stone
bye kk
later kkiln!
bye kk
i guess i should start this puppy
great choice of icon hk!
peoria - a city, not a word
was gone for a bit -- hi flosey, muse, helen, and others I missed!
hi Jilli :)
Hi jilli - was commenting on your pretty little church
Thanks flosey, for the comment about my dear little church
ty fran - i was inspired - when i was younger we would ride our bikes there, it's too far away for that now
how nice to have such a personal attachment
jili - you sure have had a busy & full life!
we drive by my icon at least a couple times a month.
Jilli you have such wonderful memories!
indeed, hasn't she hk, very interesting life
As far as I know, that hamlet of Twineham is still exactly the same
i think jilli should either write a book or blog her stories.
i agree with fran
I agree
Darn, ladies, it's time to sing... "Good night, ladies... "Good night, ladies... "Good night, ladies... "I'm bound to leave you now" but the icons and the chats have been great, thanks so much! Time for me to drug up and lie down. YES, JILLI SHOULD WRITE AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY! I know I'm shouting, but that's how I feel.
indeed jilli - would be well worth reading
oh thanks, muse -- I've thought about blogging but don't know how and have so little time to spare!
bye ankh! thanks for the song.
good night Ankhorite
Jilli!!! Have you saved your stories? if you like, I will set up a blog for you and teach you how, very easy!
Glad you don't mind it with my sore throat, Fran!
oh my goodness gracious me, ankh!!!
oh Jilli - do consider it
good nite ankh
Would love to learn how to do that myself
But I think maybe you should compile them and sell them... I'd buy! And I know a publisher.
night Ank, pleasant dreams
Heck, ladies, anyone who wants a blog, drop me a note at (this name)@verizon.net and I'll give email lessons. Thank you, Muse. Good night, all.
:::*POOF!*:::
my phantom and non-accepted word: ponzu
Heavens to betsy! I'm overwhelmed! Actually, I have put together some little things for my grandkids and I have some wonderful writings of my fathers's done when he was in the prison camp in Hong Kong 1941-5...been meaning to put that into the computer...
i've just decided i might be too much of a LOTR fan...i keep trying to use tolkien words
oh jilly - most certainly for your grandchildren
:::whispers in her sleep: "It's eeeeeeasy, Jillliiiiiii! We'll taaaaalk!"::::
ponzu??? Qu'est-ce c'est?
The grandkids were NOT interested
ah but they will eventually be don't you think
ponzu is a japanese sauce.
they're ages 21 and 28
are all the zo words based on the home for animals?
thanks fran!
they will be interested when they hit their 40's, jilli!
nan is right
nan, i only have two that start that way, but i'm still missing 2 including the 7
I wish
I only have one so far -- the plural
me too, nan -- I thought you'd have them all by now!!!
i have one that's a japanese slipper and three that are microscopic animals, just found another one
now i'm just missing the 7
wow, flosey!
what's the wow jilli?
an7
ok got the slipper and 2 larvae and an organism -- still missing 2 zo's
hey - all you maple leafs out there - how do you say 'cat' in french?
wow you've got all those z words!
chat
chat, hk
nan, the larvae has two plurals
huh - tx! ya think i could remember that!
not me jilli, must have been someone else
last one (that i'm missing too) is a zo7 apparently
wow there are sure a lot of p's
i just ask cause i was at the pet store the other day & was reading something & i could have sworn chein was cat -but it's not, it's dog!
thanks fran -- have you found the 7 yet?
not yet nan
dog is chien -- puppy is chiot, pronounced "shee-oh" and thereby hangs a tale. Lawyers in Quebec have to be bilingual and a Scottish friend of ours was a lawyer who did very well in French. We had a meeting of our bilingual Great Dane club of which he was a member, and he was speaking in French about breeding. He mispronounced the word for "puppy" as "chiotte" (she- ot) whereupon all the francophones got the giggles. It seems that's the word for sh**-house.
Got the zo7
clue please jilli?
funny story by the way. :-)
I'm trying to think of a clue!
wtg jilli -- would like a clue also
good one jili - so jili, what kind of accent do you speak with?
zo7 -- the animal house + Ode to a G****n urn
helen, mid-Atlantic English, I think.
jili - like british english or american english?
Clue fr the an 8,40 please.
jilli, great clue, but there's no R, got it though, thanks!
ty jilli
bits of each, I'm told, Helen -- ask flosey!
sorry about the R!
Jilli I don't detect much accent, perhaps very slight brit
jilli - is that a greek urn with pretty spelling??
and thanks for the z07 jill
when I went to NYC from England at age 13 with a thoroughly posh brit accent I worked hard to get rid of it - lol!
ty jilli!
ok spotted the "no r" clue ty
what a difference!! from England to NYC
jili - it's interesting to me how many different brit accent s there are
Revised clue -- zo7 -- animal house + Ode to a Gr****n Urn ;)
but hk isn't it the same in US?
yes helen -- and some are pretty hard to understand even for a brit!
as also Canada
flosey - that's so, but the UK is so much smaller than the USA
hit the wall at 150 --- will leave the rest for tomorrow -- good night all :)
oh yes
night nan!
My internet connection stinks. I've been trying to say, "Hi". No luck. Does anyone have a clue for the an 8,40 please?

I always wanted the recipes... just for the collection
did anyone else have a hiccup in their connection?
yes, a bad hiccup at that
ok, I'm tired of retyping my words umpteen times, good night everyone :)
okay, at least it wasn't just me.
night muse!
nite muse
both greek temple words are here today
Evening all - how is the grid going?
an 8 if not said already
hello again everyone... am back. this grid is stumping me, i only have 55 words!
hey angb, 144 here
Over half way - well done fran
189 here
Hi kier.
tho i did have 2 vodka collins earlier. maybe that is the problem
back again - lost connection for some strange reason
lol kier! i would think that would help.
lots of us did, flosey. Hi kier!
update on the tsunami watch, there was a tsunami generated, but it's only a 4 inch change in sea level.
I have made a carrot and walnut loaf, cooked dinner, drunk a couple of glasses of wine - and hey, the words aren't there!
lots of us did, flosey. Hi kier! yeah, I think this grid takes at least 3 of them, kier.

and again - let's hope it stays this time
Suggest you have another one Kier
bad server behaviour today
the hiccup that just happened is normal at 2:00 am grid time, the earlier one was unusual.
it often hiccups at this time of day/night
isn't that a bit strange?
missed saying hi to sprite, kier, babrab -- who else?
i'm thinking it's some kind of scheduled maintenance or something.
hi jilli *hug*
wow, found Un8/45
not getting anywhere at all with the Zo7 though.
want a hint, sprite? I have it
Please, jilli. It is really stumping me.
oh sprite, have been struggling with that, any clues?
i was going to give you the def sprite, but it's some scientific thing.
please?
zo7 -- animal house + Ode to a Gr****n Urn
For the un: it is un + what I never want to listen to. un + R6/18.
thanks sprite!
um, thanks sprite -- now I have to find r6/18 ;)
lol
thanks sprite great clue thought the word and it was there!
thanks sprite!
well, now you have a r6 to look for it jilli
sprite's clue given for the un word works for re
Oh! I had that r6 -- so thanks for the u8! Did you get the zo7?
not yet, jilli. Found the reference to that urn, but cannot yet connect it.
and I'm too tired to go on, must get to bed - what a huge job left for tomorrow
must go. the central heating is broke so must fix it
night flosey! sweet dreams (hopefully not grid words)
bye flosey and lain
bye lain!
nite flosey and iain
yes Fran, have over 200 to get!
got the zo7. Never ever heard of that one.
Bye Iain! Warm wishes!
ah well, may look easier tomorrow
thanks for the clue :)
you'll know why when you see the definition sprite!
are the words from the center 'o' normal words or???
oh lain - good luck with your heating
bye all now
kier, i only have 2
1 at least is, kier.
night flosey!
Fran, I need to read up on my sea moss, I see!
the other i have is a drying oven
we all do i think sprite! i bet ata knows that one right off the bat.
but she's gone on vacation already, right?
oh yes, probably! Too bad she misses this grid.
glad you got that zo, sprite, and I'm sure you'll be using it in everyday conversation
i knew some marine biologists back in Guam, not here though.
well.... I would have to think about that one, jilli! Ywis, it is a tough one to fit into casual conversation. So... did you notice the Zo7 on the sea moss I feed my inia?
lol sprite
now you just need to get an inia and you're all set sprite.
btw, my only O word is the drying oven and my middle O tile still reads 0/5
I have the Z4, but it lacks both my inia and my anoa. It is a sad, empty Z**.
jilli: 1s
sorry jilli, the drying oven comes from the upper O
the other O word i have is the plural anatomical opening.
I realise, sprite, but someone asked for a word from the middle O and I've been looking for one ;)
I just clued one, jilli :)
oh -- just saw the clue, sprite (eyes getting weary!) Thanks
jilli is going to kick herself when she gets that 1 sprite! :-)
lol, I think so too.
ouch!
:D I have to be off for a bit, shopping to do while my kids learn how to skate. Who said life was fair.
later sprite!
a demain sprite!
well, I have all of 60 words and the rest are hiding so I'll be off. Probably won't finish -- too much to do tomorrow for a biggie like this
105 left, going to take a break, maybe come back later.
night then jilli!
nighty night *poof*
Clue for the an 8,40 please
merk -- you didn't answer my question before -- where in China are you?
(sorry, I don't have an8)
thanks anyway. I'll keep looking.
thanks anyway. I'll keep looking.
My internet goes off and on ... a truly rotten connection. I am in Harbin.
Oh yes -- you had said so before. Sorry! Must be cold there.
Also, we have censors so I can't get Lickety's List. I'm thinking that her word lists trigger censors as key words to be avoided. But it affects the list then, too.
Cold does not begin to describe it ... surrounded by Siberia.
Lickety is a he, and a very handsome one too! He is the hubby of MrPresident, who is a she. Go figure!
That's for the clarification. They must have two computers for all that they do for babble.
Anyway, I do not have any of the 8s yet and I thought the an, re, and un looked the most difficult to find so I'm looking for clues. I dare not go to the entire chat log for fear it won't let me back on to here.
Lickety's list doesn't contain any words -- just the first 2 letters and the numbers. Maybe this "code" is being censored -- ???
re 8 is the plural of the 7 which is to change color of something with a brush and something liquid
Such censorship is most un******able (un8/45)
I think I may have lost the connection again. This isn't showing up in the chatbox.
Does anyone have the ci8 and 9?
mkl, if you have the ci 6/24 add a number to it and then plural
merk, it's showing up here
How about a clue for the ci6,24?
ty for the re ... built on an earlier word.
d.... ci 6/24 Roman statesman, orator, and writer.
I think that because lickety also has links to the various 4, 5, 6, etc. letter word lists, it triggers the censor. Brandy Jack gets thru so I'm using that list.
Can't find him joey
merk, did you get the in8 clue at 2:42?
cool clues for the ci, ty
the number that indicates nothing. change the first letter to a c and add the two letters you are looking for at the beginning.
Sorry, Jilli, I didn't 'catch' your un clue. I must be dense today ... and other days
The one about censorship. That's the one I did not understand.
Thanks so much. That got all three of them.
Thanks for the excellent clues, joey
there's no re6/18 to be sorry, merk. Stick a un in front of that for the 8
yvw. i had to really think about that!!
ty, I was just searching for my thinking cap. I think I forgot to pack it. That and frozen brain cells!
What's the temp there Merk?
good morning everybody:)
It's almost 5 PM and it's about -10 degrees Fahrenheit.
well, I said I was going to bed a while ago and now I really am *gone*
It is far below -0 by dawn.
G'night
How cold does it get? We had 49 below about 5 days ago. it's warmed up to about 5 above right now
I am glad you stayed up long enough to help me so graciously.
The coldest I've seen in three winters here is about -35 to -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cold enough
Where are you? That's very cold by you!
I live in Central Alaska. About 40 miles south of Fairbanks
Ah, that explains it.
Brain fog. I am missing one of the se 4. It's the little ones that throw me.
It's still early winter for both of us. The coldest I've seen it in the 6 years I've lived here is minus 61. Fortunately, there's no wind chill factor. Almost never a breeze during the winter.
We do get some wind. The other day I about froze walking back from lunch.
Every time I make the mistake of complaining about the cold, one of the old-timers tells me about how cold it USED to be. Bring on the global warming
back
hello sprite:)
hiya sprite
Hello again, sprite.
hi all :) Any luck with the grid so far? It is a toughie for me.
Hi, Sprite
oh gawd sprite...if youre struggling..
mkl how long have you been here
Methodically plodding along. The end is nearer than it was before.
You mean just now, or on the earth?
lol rolin - doesn't tell anything about other's experiences. I have been known to be blind for words like sons and hoof and such, to call a few.
in mean in alaska
lol mkl - both could be true.
Almost six years.
yeah i know sprite... but you can usually find stuff quickly..
i've been here since 69 and have seen it really cold but i like the warmer now
oooooh yet another school\ girl pushing for wearing a cross on a chain at school...*yawn*
My friends keep telling me about how cold it USED to be. Cold enough now. Seems like you usually get more snow than us, but we get it colder.
Personally, I'd trade.
true gots lots of snow now
7 x z's......*sigh*
I believe in global warming though. Each winter here is a tad bit milder than the winter before. And then there's the old timers' stories just like in Alaska.
there's a Zo7 that drove me bananas, rolin.
theres ba 7??!!...oooog goddie..
I'm sure we're warming up. Just not sure how much we have to do with it. The earth's always gone through warming and cooling periods.
lol
mkl, that is what I think too. We have songs in Holland about the "good oldfashioned winters" with snow and ice. Old songs. There obviously have been colder periods, but just as obviously there have been warmer times, in which they wrote those songs :)
Even worse than that. (Ice ages)
brrrr
that too, on a much larger scale.
I was watching a National Geographic the other day about that. They actually figured out when humans began to speak.
The first words were****
Great googly moogly that's a big chunk of ice.
worst mistake of all - even worse than getting out of those trees.
I'm still missing the an 8,40. Has anyone found it yet?
got to dash happy babbling everybody:)
bye jean!
bye jean
Down to 65 but I'm still missing two 8's. Can someone clue the an8 and the re8,40?

Mornin' All
hi Odin :)
I have 122 words left, it's almost 2am and I won't see the internet tomorrow... do I stay up or go to bed?
mornin Odin
Hey Sprite,
Mornin' Niamh
Good day, Odin
Hi Odin
Quite a grid today!
let's see... going to bed would be common sense. Staying up would be addiction. I think... you stay :)
What's up BabRab?
I am addicted enough to still be here...
Oh, nothing remarkable. Working the cells.
both the brain and the grid cells
It is working me...kinda foggy this morning and I am slowly working my way through it.
Well I didn't know that word - thanx for all the clues to the 9

Mornin' ExWren
Good morning to you too. At least it's not raining today - yet! We have had very high winds recently.
Hi Ex Wren
Glad to hear the weathers improved. We need rain here and non in sight.
Ondin - I fear the improvement is only temporary as more rain has been forecast for here - we seem to be making up for the dry winters w've had
We too have has a mild dry winter. Even the northern states are remarkably warm and have had no winter to speak of. Only Colorado has been hit with blizzrads. Weird weather these days.
good morning everyone\

Hi Hodag
Hello, hodag. Stay warm.
hodag-what's area 5?
sean
hi hodag
sorry!
hi 99,Bab-Rab and ty it is only 19,
was 0 here the morning before last, but now is getting warmer again. Wish it would stay cold for a while and snow
hi Eva,5 is the planting area,howdy sprite,we sure are having a strange winter!!
we have been zone 4, but I have a suspicion that we are rapidly becoming zone 5/
things are changing so fast,whats to become of us?
we change with them and will be ok
or we humans disappear and the universe breaths a huge sigh of relief
I belive your right Sprite.
us disappearing wouldn't hurt the universe, no. But I am afraid we are too stubborn to extinct.
Strite - I'm still puzzled by your clue
stubborness is oftenot th greatest survival mechanism. Flexibility is more so
think Frank Sinatra's wife, change last vowel.
just waiting for it to get light enough to see what kind of preciptation is on the ground, before heading out for a walk where no vowels exist
His daughter? Or Ron Reagan's wife.
got it ty ty
changes have gone on forever and they always will so we just have to flow with it.
ow sorry, you are right, daughter it was.
Eva how do you like this silly kitty, isn't it a trip?
Malthus, mice and misery

that sounds fun :S
yea, not too much. i was just happy to not be the loudest snorer in the room for once. the guy next to me was like a fog horn.
lol how annoying
yea. it was bad. then, to top it all off, my baggage was 2kilos ovet the limit, and they were going to charge me 20gbp unless I could get my bag down. I only have two pounds left, so i had to throw out the bottle of wine I had been saving for 2 weeks.

pe6/21 - plural thorax of crustacean. French for father plus two vowels
french father + preposition, too.
any clues an 6/18
an6/18 - an plus a reworking of a type of machine gun ( adds a letter to the leaning an5/10 after it)
pe7/32 - french father plus charged particle
Ahh, got them. Thank ye muchly.
thanx hazel - strange word
New words for me. The last pe 7 is elusive. Off I go...
It doesn't look so strange to me - we would use a similar word forne***, meaning in front/beside.
machine gun? leaning? forne***? my brain must be in poor condition today.
think i need another clue for the an6/18
pe7/32 - the last one - plural part of the body, I think
zo 7/52 - clues please
pabtrek - rearrange the letters of the Queen's daughter's name (an**) and a shortened saint.
thanks haz
an5/10 means leaning, add another consonant for an6/18
I thought an5/10 means having to do with.
pe7/32 - part of the body, think underneath, and singular ends in 'um'
hi vi
Unless, of course, I'm thinking of a different one...
DIctionary gives British - in line with?
Hello, TO, and all!
The last pe 7, I am totally not getting it. (still)
hi chaps am having probls wit this grid - any further clues for an 4/4 and what might be its plural but not the one that ones that taste like fennel
not the question but the an** (in boston)
lori, pe7 = The region of the body between the genital organs and the anus. (sorry)
and latin plural.
pe7 - four letters of Miss Gilpin (actress, played Ros Doyle in Frasier), then three letters that sound like knee, but spelt differently.
ty vm hurshy

it is big and hard
only the biggies left now - p,s and c

I'm in the first category: I like it hot.
I like it hot!
We can give our leftovers to hurshy.
i dunno that i actually like it in the pot nine days old... i just like the song
Once again poetry is more important than reality!
i like the sound of it ini the pot nine days old
natch
I can't say I've actually ever had pe5 porridge in any condition. Only oatmeal porridge.
Could someone give me the third letter of the un 8/45? My eyes are going crazy! Thank you...
Last one - zo 7/52 pleeeese

(talking about the admin, not the animals)
all hail the great god zoose!
The elephants really resent having to represent the republicans.
i'm sure they do.
and why d'you think donkeys are known as asses?
what is up?
they really should pick plant life, which, having no brain, cannot be offended.
the sky!
hursh - what about kirlian photography?
Picking plant symbols got pretty confusing back when Richard III and Henry VII did it.
they could each be a type of fungus!
ty Brittany...finally got it!
what's kirlian photography?
yw
Do you vote pond scum or slime mold?
lol
kirlian photography takes pictures of energy or life force within plants
well, i think fungus is the perfect way to go.
Sounds cool, TO!
pictures have been taken after a lib is cut and seems to show the plant is hurting...
:( poor little plant
are fungi plants?
i think they might have their own category
yeah, i just googled, they are a whole separate kingdom.

thanks Haz, it wouldn
hurshy do you have the ci6/24
found a ci7, but no 8...
wouldn;t take it the first time I tried, must have put an extra space somewhere
no peri, i don't
hurshy, the 9 starts with a roman orator; proceeds with the loneliest number and the plural
hurshy ci6/24 is a type similar to pica or a Roman Statesman
the ci8 ad ci9 build off of that
No problem, inge.
well, blimey! who'd have thought? thanks.
YW hurshy
TY babble!
Nice clue BabbleRabble
yes rabble nice one!

But you did, so you're not? Well done!

and i gave 2 other pa clues, for the not-italian-buddy ones
good morning -- just been gleaning the log :0
3rd pa 7 change middle vowel
na 7? -- have meaner

There's only one na7 - there's a pale imitation of the structure with pa7
don't have either of the ci 7's either
if they don't think zooier is a word, they've never been at a day care center
....and the genius that I am, I spent 10 minutes looking for a simple plural. :(
ci7= a movie expert ci+n+direction......

there are FOUR ch7?
ty movieman

Hi everyone.
evening party, lori
Lori, how are you doing with the grid today?
thanks, haz
thks Haz for the on
Ack! Thank ye
Glad to help.
Hey Mom! Fine thanks, 26 words left to go. How are you doing?
any po6?
Just getting back into it. I have 84 with 184 left
will be glad to just get half way.
ce x7, ch x7, ci x 10 -- what am I missing, please?
Had quilt class today so that cut into my playing time
cnan, have you not got the 9?
I've been coming and going all day Mom. Housework and stuff. We all know that drill.
another ci
yes, and what a drill it is. Especially when it cuts in to our grid time
no!!! -- does it build on the statesman?
it's pl of the 8
got it! --- darn plurals!
i think they are lying about the number of P's.
There's a praising sequence right at the start, pa5/12 (twice) and pa6/21.
Yes Hurshy, I agree
yeah, i have those...
any po6?
nope
well it MUST be pa then
i have 3 praise words, 5 italian buddies
There's a pa6/21 before the two pa7/32
po 6/21
ouchy words, watercolor words
oops, sorry!!!
lol @ une
hooray...halfway there for me!
po6 po + flower
You have the coin (pa5/12)
ty
why do i always miss flower ending words
no green thumb?
i think so haz, is that the one that is also a toyota model?
Mercy, I have no idea - pa plus Mr Gershwin, but different consonant.
and i have another pa5/12 that sounds like the beginning of a pattern on like a necktie
oh, then NO, i did NOT have that, hooray!!
one more to go!!!
That pa5 has a following pa6/21 (it leads to the pa7/32)
yeah. i just miss one p5/12 now.
pa5/12 - a slow spanish walk? or pa5/12 - take the r from the jubilation.
a slow... spanish... walk... maybe... i took french, lemme think
16 words left means I'd have to do straight housework time. Not good....
or maybe the slow spanish walk is the toyota model.
French step, two vowels.
It may be the Toyota model.
yeah, it is.
perhaps it wasn't a wise choice of name for them, lol
Then might it be the pa5/12 sandwiched between pa7/32 and pa4/5 (the root of the spanish walk)
nope, have that too - it needn't be a pa...
po5/12 - not rich gains a vowel
aha! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
I've never seen so many exclamation marks. Relieved?
quite.
sorry to drag you through all that...
I got a lot of words out if it...thanks haz!
ur7/32 please
Nothing like doing things the hard way!
Yes, TY Haz.
I'm glad it helped.
ur7/32 - begin with the liquid and end with what you use to smell.
ur = built on the 6 & 6 + I am becoming comat*** :)
thanks haz
and lori
You're welcome.
Et voila! 268 words. Done!
Congrats Lori
Felicitations!
can't find the pa 5/12 bet. pa 7/32 and pa 4/5!
Yay Lori
monkeys must have died
Congrats Lori - now the housework!
contrats, lori
well done lori!
Not working from a list ... do you have the pa 4/5 that is someone is a pa** in the butt
and plural
guess I could have used neck but the other one came to mind first
The downside, I must earnestly apply myself to housework. :(
I'll be thinking of you Lori
yes -- not working from a list either -- going off one of Haz's clues for Hurshy
it's the one where she said drop r from a joyful thanks
cybernan - pa5/12 - if it were pr6 it would relate to the jubilant words at the beginning of the pa sequence
I didn't get them either then. :)
if you mean the glory be word without the r, I have it
well that's the one between the 7 and the 4
I have 2 achey words and 2 colourful words in between
you need another 6/7 combo then
alt sp of the prev one
Have you the one whre it's the same first 4 letters asas the one clue but use an eariier vowel on the end?
Change the vowel at the end to an earlier one, and that will lead into a pa6 and pa7 combination
I'm confused-- have pa 5/12, 6/21, 7/32, 7/32, 4/5 -- is there a pa 5/12 between the last two?
you need another combo, with i instead of e!!!
afternoon all!
Hi angela
Good afternoon Angela
Hello Angela.
hi angela
and the 5 you need will cut the end off the 6/7 combo
ah -- was missing the 6/7 , not the 5 -- thanks, hurshy

but you might need a 5 too, see prev post
You're welcome, cybernan.

wooh. Field goal mania. Soccer fans should enjoy that one
ti6/18 - a type of herbal/fruit tea. Add the mentally able.

hi all
Hi all
hi mom
Musicmom, just reading back through the chat. I see you are a Bengals fan
hi hodog, hi mom!
I saw earlier you had been to quilting class. What did you learn?
Hi Mom. Hi Hodag
There is a guy and his wife on our street who are absolutely nuts about the Bengals.
YES I AM!!! Who dey?
Hi Lynxxx
dang!!!
It's hard for us - we live amongst many steeler fans
i'm a steeler fan, sorry! mom's a PA native
Right now I am hand quilting my 2nd project. It is learning curves and triangles
OH BROTHER!!!! Well - at least they aren't in the playoffs either.
wow. i was watching the penn state game last weekend, and the energy is so different in this game. they are so pumped up! you can see them all literally bouncing
Where in SE Ohio do you live?
Good for you. I am handquilting a sampler that I have had pieced together since 1997 - I figure 10 years is long enough - time to get it done
Albany - we are just west of Athens - home of Ohio University
I take lessons at the library. There is a mother/daughter duo that teaches it.
My husband works for the u
I have driven through there. It is pretty up that way
how neat.
hi again,I got called away
Hi Hodag
That is very neat. I was in a guild for a long time but gave it up because I wanted Saturdays with my family
we meet every 2nd and 4th Saturday for 2 hours
hi mom
someone dig me out of the phantom opera pit...op6/21?
I didn't realize you were in Covington. I lived in Florence for a while. My mom is in Fairfield (grannyg) just north of cincinnati
I have talked to Grannyg before.
I love piecing and hand quilting. I have also been doing a lot of redwork.
heh, i just realized i made a play on words there
op6.21 - drop the last letter of the musical & opp of off
I love redwork
Just before Christmas I finished the girls' stockings. They are crazy quilts made out of their holiday dresses.
Good pun feather
thank you!
wasn't even on purpose
I am doing Winter Wonderland redwork pattern. You can google it and see it.
I will do that. How old are your daughters?
I have a 12 year old (she'll be 13 in April) and a 6 year old
I miss having little ones in the house. I am sure they are a treasure
Most of the time they are. I really do enjoy spending time with them. Of course, there are days.......
everyone has "days"
yep that's true. Honestly my kids are really good most of the time. I am blessed to not have some of the challenges other moms of pre-teens have.
I am having trouble with the 7's today. Need a clue for ci7/36?
interception!
I don't have that marc
We, too, have been very fortunate with our boys. Truly blessed.
Saw it - hate it
I love the redwork pattern
i'm sorry musicmom!
It is very cute. And great work for the car when I am ferrying children around
I just keep the bag packed
ci7/36...do you have the ci9? it has the same first 6 letters
ci7-same first 4 letters are word before+ending of ea 4/4 (movie fan)
need help with the CH 7/40 pls
I had never heard of redwork before.
oops...wrong ci7 (but I'm sure someone can use it)
a ch***** condition, that doesn't go away
It is an older needle style. It was very popular during the depression.
thnx Feather!
I used to keep a cross stitch project in the car when I would wait for the boys to get out of school. It was amazing how much I could accomplish in half an hour
Ank - do you know what it looks like?
*says hi to everyone she knows, and a special hi to everyone she doesn't know (yet)*
thanks Kris but I need the other one ci7/36?
Hi Ank
hi ank!
Yes I love to take a project in the car
Hi Ank
yeah, sorry! I saw that later marc...feather had the right clue right before me
Ank, google winter wonderland redwork and see what Musicmom is doing. It is neat
rb
brb*
I am over the shofering kids mine are all too old they need to shofer me around now.
Hi, Marc, long time no see! I did that, Mom, that's when I dropped my remark. Very nice! But I'd never heard of it before. Only candlewicking, or whatever white-on-white is called.
Most of the redwork I do is on the sewing machine
Interception
That's a good one!
I have been around just never have time to be on the board.
and interception again!
I never mastered candlewicking
Which game, MusicMom?
Me either on the candlewicking but love the look
colts/raves
ravens
Mom, I always liked the look but didn't have time to try when I was younger.... and now my eyes are too old for needlework. :)
We're cheering for the Ravens on that one -- live outside DC. Wish we could watch the Eagles game, but not on here.
No way not going to root for the ravens
Anyone have a clue for ci7/36?
I forgot the eagles game was on. maybe I should turn that one on
Ank! I am 2 years older than you. Have you tried reading glasses, that was a miracle for me when my close up vision was going
I am not going to root for the ravens as well, I am with you Ank
hi everyone
Hi Helen
Not me, Marc, I'm hardly started here. Yeah, Mom, I have them ... but they only work on one eye! I need an appointment to get real doctor-rx'd glasses soon. Hello, Helen!
Hi Helen
hey helen!
Hi Helen
music - no the eagles game won't start until this stupid indy/balt game is over
Oh no--- peyton got sacked
Hi helen
Hopefully that will help and you can stitch again.
Okay - i need to focus a little more on the grid.
I do that to keep from eating. :)
heh. glad to see i'm not the only one watching the game and babbling
MusicMom, if you find the channel/network for the Eagles, tell me so I can keep looking.
Yes, Mom, thanks. I'd like to get back to it.
eagles are playing tonight too?
Hi, KC!
hiya kristin, musicmom, mom, mf, lnxxxxxxxx, ankh, kc, et al
You guys are youngsters, I now have to have percription glasses. First time in the last 3 years.
my hubby says the eagles game will be on FOX supposedly at 7:30 eastern
phil vs. no
yeah, a lot of us are watching kc (which is why I'm not finding a lot of words!)
The eagles aren't on right now - i just checked.
ahhh. I'm almost required to root for the eagles, a coworkers brother plays for them
Ty, Music!
That is great Marc. Unfortunately, I have had glasses/contacts since I was 14
Who won today?
contacts since 14, glasses since age 7
Mom you are still a kid
Curl, thank you!
Yep that is what it says on our on screen guide - eagles/saints 7:30 p.m.
no problem; we wait for seahawks tomorrow
mom, I've had glasses since 3rd grade, got Lasik in august and it was awsome
Did it affect your close up vision?
I am not a candidate for Lasik, mine are very bad and have a great deal of scar tissue.
not hardly at all. only thing I noticed was it was a little harder to see my armpits when I shaved!!! :-p
lol KC
mcurl - you keep waiting - we are ready for you ;)
No one has a clue for ci7/36 it is my last ci, please?
Can someone point me in the right direction for the ci6 (the first one) after the Italian goodbye?
Hey Mom & Ank - there is a brilliant large clip-on (or stand) magnifier that you can use for embroidery. Iuse it for fine drawing. Also comes attached to a light stand. Called Flexilens - by Daylight. You should be able to Google for Suppliers .Highly recommended!
ci7 plural of ci6/24
Hi everyone
7/36 lawyer and senator in Ancient Greece. That one?
hk, all depends on which seattle team shows up
Hi Peri
i have 101 still left - afraid i'm not going to be much help with the cluing right now, sorry

Hi all.. logging in late, but I worked offline with a copy of the grid today.. some days just interfere with Babble, imagine!
I am glad to have the long weekend too -- though it means I will get almost nothing substantial done, it also means I can sleep in some.
hey, aloy!
hi Aloyisius!
hiya Aloy
hi aloy
see -- I knew stid would leap ahead and I still stake my claim to the booby prize because I have only gleaned 78
is it MLK day Mon?
'Allo Aloy!
yes kalea, MLK day... wish it were called "Civil Rights" day because that would honor all the people who fight in that cause...
i don't think i'm going to make it to the end of the football game...
*giggle* (Jill gets boobies)
any clues for ch6/25 and ch7/36 please
keep it clean, stid
wow! what a jump
but i think all the people who fought so hard for it ARE honored, stid.............at least in the times i have participated
flosey do you have the 7/36 or 8/50?
in the US it's a cereal
what? what? if Jill gets one booby prize, then another, does she not get boobies?
I did manage to collect a few biggies last night including the 9 if anyone needs it

Right, phan! Now all you need is an icon

Stid, it is all in the corner
While I'm here (and please give me your pity) I am having trouble after starting the grid while drunk and only having gotten more so since starting - I can't find sa5/10 for some reason

oops...
Baileys and the Smiths, life is ok
yep! he's going to go crayz
crazy
got it, thanks aloy
my eyes are burning, I guess I better go.
*embarassed now* thanks Jill
lol, feather... the word sounds like your original spelling
you are very right aloy!
phandmd, yes - to the doctor
hi Yoink -- I just had my usual 2 big vodka-on-the-rox and have now switched to striaght tonic.
why? They are just tired
straight
is vodka more palatable on the rocks? It always seems to burn so...
oh, no actual flames then?
no, no flames! lol
ok, blood sugar's up a bit now, maybe i can last a little longer
phew, ok, never mind
phand -- I hope your eyes will feel better! *offers cool washcloth* thanks for the help!
good nite.
night phan
thnx for the cloth and your welcome
it's smoooooth on the rox and as you sip it dilutes but still stays refreshing IMHO
night phan
my eyes were burning once. I had to look at a picture of Margaret Thatcher to cool them off
nitey nite phan
night phan and thanks for clues
zooier is SO a word.. I protest, to no avail
*shudders at Yoink's comment*
yoink, you're the same age as my grandson - hah
yes, and "to zoro" ought to be a verb, as in, the villian was thoroughly zoroed!
It wasn't fun, Stid, but worked. jilli... erm, lol
what, stid? Did you like the Thatcher?
sorry
no Jill, of course not. She was like an evil headmistress in a victorian novel...
Yoink, I had a cousin who remarked that he ousld have moved if his address had become Margaret Thatcher Street
that's would have
ooh! past halfway!
There should be a large statue of her somewhere prominent
heading for list, back soon.
to remind us of what we don't want
so that people could throw stuff at it?
and pigeons should decorate it often
so you're a Liverpudlian like the Beatles, Yoink?
sorry, I dissapeared for moment.
I just made my first web sale! it was to a friend so I wanted to giver her a call
welcome back, smoooth
congrats, smoothie!
hiya yoink! long time no see. ;)
WOO-HOO pappa! that is wonderful news. So happy for you!
thank you guys!
hi again
hi everyone!
hi helen!
hi kier!
jilli, my late mother came from Liverpool and the blood runs through me. Followed them all my life
Hey Smooth, yeah, not seen you in.. well absolutely ages! ;)
hi helen! hi kierlex!
late mother? at your age? that sounds very sad, yoink
jilli, it was, very. She passed away from a lung disease in March of last year
hey kier, stid, jili, smooth, yoi et al
{{{Yoink}}} sorry kiddo
fireworks; those pe words made my eyes blurry..
oh dear, yoink! How old/young was she?
YAY Aloyisius!
YAY Aloy!!!
woohoo, Aloy!!!!!!!
She was only 56
yay aloy!
yoink.. my father is "late" as well... maybe we shoudl introduce our parents? ;)
hi helen! i've been floating in and out now that i'm done
Smooth, it's a long way from Wigan to Madison :D
Was she a smoker, yoink? I just lost an ex-smoker cousin to emphysema
am trying to find a 'stone' icon involving keanu =)
(((yoink))) my sympathies to you - (i was a year older than you when my mom died - had to make lots of 'grown up' decisions whether i wanted to or not, it's tough)
ty, all... and my condolences, yoink.. hope to chat more tomorrow... bye till then
lol
and wow, interesting way to get a touchdown there...
hiya feather!
kierlex... you play the stone?
sweet dreams, Aloyisius!
smooth -- sorry about your dad! Too many young deaths
kier - just put up a regular pic of him - & explain that he is a stone fox!
She was when younger jilli, but it was unrelated and degenerative. Helen, actually it has helped me in some ways, to find a path in life and also seemingly to cure me of my depression - somewhat unobviously
ahhh.. jili... ce'st la vie
oooh... i like that helen!
i don't think i play the stone. what does that mean my smooth-pappa friend?
:)
Oh, and thanks Stid
oh sorry kier, there is a game... www.thestone.com I thought that's what you were referring to
ahhh, no the icon theme is stones... it just gives me an excuse to ogle pictures of keanu, my spiritual fiance =)
yoink - you are very fortunate then, exact opposite for me - i was on a path, but afterwards couldn't stay on it & haven't really found another of like value to replace it
i am going to do some e-mails & then the sudoku - bbl
ahhh gottcha kier
:( Sorry to hear that Helen. I think it is such a big event it can do any number of things to a person
no kidding yoink. with my dad, we knew it was coming, so we prepared the best we could, and it didn't really derail any of us, but it did change a lot of perspectives in my family
bye helen -- cheer up if you can
have to go check on supper
We knew too, Smooth, but it came quicker than expected. Nothing happened consciously but somewhere inside me my brain reassessed things and decided I could go back to being happy after the grieving was done
we can know it's coming, but there is always that moment when it *really* happens...
yeah, it was an earth shattering moment... but for me personally, I havelearned to remember and love thing great things about my dad. we had problems as a teenager (who didn't) but honestly, it never changed much in my life... istill got the education I was undertaking, and worked for (probably) the same jobs that I would have anyway
FI 6/30 please>
well my babbling compadres, i am off to see a movie (good shepherd) and will return! babble on!
later kierlex! enjoy! :-)
has anyone seen PappouTed lately? she was a regular last summer, but I haven't seen her in a long time now.
finally made it back! -- anyone want a clue?
I came to the point of remembering her happily quite quickly really, thankfully. In an indirect way she helped choose my career and in a direct way she affected my life to help me make that decision so if it works out I will give her my thanks wherever she is
hello all
fi 6/30: person you are engaged to (m)
hi nan! thanks (thought it was something like that but couldn't monkey it)
Hi Luwanda!
female for the 7, stid
got it nan, thanks! 119 to go...
hi Luwanda!
any others before I move on?
the z 9
no z 9
cyber, just list the words from r backwards please. :D
ci 9/66
oops
Hogtied the H! :-)
EO anything please? LOL
four ci's based on and including the ci 6/24: Roman statesman, orator and poet
eo + seven deadly for the eo 5 -- add a vowel for the 6
first eo 6/18: extension of eo 3 for a long time
thanks nan *sigh of relief* thought I would go in6 on that one!
eosin
wtg dster!
(other box dster... then they count)
ciceros
wrong box dster
i thought it was on the other box
Can anyone help with P's? I've got 20 more to go, don't even know what I
am missing.
the p's were really hard mom2
do you want specifically
How about some pa's?
nan, having trouble with your last eo clue :(
make the 3 ltr noun for a long time, eo* into an adjective
eonic
oops!
yippee! down to 100!
the first 6 pa's begin with the same 3 letters, pa + vowel
pa + vowel + preposition, then plural for the 6
pa + vowel + different preposition
pa + vowel + french without - the s at the end -- next two 7's add different vowels
go stid go!
there is another pa combo where the 2nd vowel is changed
on my way -- see you at the flip -- bon chance!
Thanks for the great clues!!!
later nan! merci!
bon soir nana!
can't... see... words...
okay, down to 80, calling it good for tonight. See you all tomorrow: au demain; bis morgen; laila tov; buona sera; hasta man~ana!
Offering everyone one last look at my booby (the red-footed critter in the icon, that is) before I go...
*poof!*
fireworks for me, bye stid, lol yoink
took me all flippin day but I got it!
popping off, blessings all!
Hello everyone...
Hi everyone....does anyone PLEASE have the first re5/14? I cannot monkey it for anything...
RE + double consonant + vpwel
hi douglas!
Bless you Pappa...I tried everything but that...! Thanks very much.
Hello smooth_pappa
hows life in the twin cities been doug?
Life is good, although jihad is in full swing here...
jihad?
with the new congressman?
The Somalis want their own mosque in the airport...
oh. lol
ok.. maybe they dhould get theri country under control first?
The cab drivers want to refuse service to anyone with alcohol or a seeing eye dog
wierd demands there
And then there are those six imams who were taken off the plane back in November...
although reminds me... just a bit of salzburg... went to an internet cafe run by pakistanis... they had the rates on a sign, and then uner that said "Pakistanis will receive a 40% discount" lol
It's been covered extensively here in Minnesota, but I don't know how it's been covered around the country
'm only here in madison, not far atll, and I hadn't heard a thing about it
The six imams were returning to Phoenix from Minneapolis. on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving
though the lack of coverage doesn't surprise me... The twin cities and Milwaukee seem to be two major metro areas that never eceive any media coverage unless there is a griseley murder or something
You would be rewarded to consider http://pajamasmedia.com/2006/12/the_fa king_imams_pajamas_media.php
film fancier, movie maven
Hi everyone. firewords...finally! thanks everyone for the great clues.
Congrats lbdawger! And yummy icon!
yesterday's clue
interesting douglas!
ergh.see you after the flip, gotta go IM with sister
The six people in question had just finished attending an imams conference
that same flight to salzburg, There were two muslim men seated next to me. One was very calm, and the other started sweating and praying ass soon as the plane started moving... to me it looked like a nervous passanger... God knows I've seen Christian prayers on an airplne just before takeoff... but I saw a lot of eyes on that guy.
Was he sitting next to an exit? The reason I ask is that these six individuals moved from their assigned seats to the seats at the front, back and window exits
babble is loading incorrectly for me. anyone else having difficulties?
probably all those vowels
Hi smaller, I was having trouble too but I cracked my whip and all is well now!
he was close to an exit... we were all seated in the first "coach class" row... I think there was an exit in that row... now this guy wasn't trying to be suspicious... to me e lookd just nervous about a flight... I know people can be nervous about those... my grandma won't fly... she'd probably pray more thanh him on a plane... but because he was muslim, and prayng in arabice, a lot of eyes were on him... and i must confess, he grabbed my attenton, as well
You broke it smaller
ooops! what happened to my icon?
hmm. a whip? one certainly learns a lot about the personal habits of others. : )
hey yoink!!!
howdy missy
yoink, are you done with the grid? i've found 73. there are no more
Saints are closing in on a victory...they have the ball and the lead, 1:37 left...

Kill the eagles!
I could use a whip too!
u guys are gay
lesformore, lying is rude!
huh?
shut up ya dork. ;)
Who has the whip?
huh to the gay part
I have 160, but I probably made up 87 of them. That's the way tonight is going
lol
smaller...I would not lie

yes your GAY
Trolls are up later then usual
ok there's 74. but THAT is it. no more than that

dorko - we'll have a gay-o time-o
{{{{{Rennie}}}}}}!!!!!
smaller!!!!!
chic!!!
dork, I'm glad you picked a name that accurately reflected your intelligence
Hello ren! trolls off the port bow...
RENNY!!! so good to see you!!
How goes it , Ren?
and yoink??!?!?! - long time no see - 0
great chic - taking a break from the work for a while
Hey Ren! I'm not really here
and as your well aware, I'm sure we have many hmong here as well... and there has been tension in the north of this state, but here in the south of wisconsin, while we do have some racial tension, not religious. We have mosques and other religious institutions (hindu in particular) but hrttere hasn't been a religous culture clash]
heya douglas!
lesformore- running group nickname. not height. i'm actually an amazon
ohhBaby!!! LOL
Saints win!
Ren- I saw a purple car today!! I'll steal it for you!
go saints!
ok - i need a new car - i heard the bears are not hibernating...
...as soon as i start my life of crime.
smaller, I saw people today, and I didn't hit any of them, just for you
you can say you were getting out of the reach of an angry bear..:)
renny, the bears are still sleeping but the skunks are visiting.
"May your *****s receive you at your journey's end"
oh! yoink ya still swimming?
yoink, holy road rage therapy batman, that's a big step for you! we should open the babble bar and the first one's on the house
Renny, not since last february, my bio is somewhat misleading. Mostly I just drink and watch tv
Nice work if you can get it...
Smaller, make mine a Baileys
I'll have a Drop Top please
The customer is causing 6 McNuggets to go for a buck with his mind in the McDonalds commercial
i don't have the key for the babble bar. renny, do you?
not me..i lost my keys
What's a Drop Top?
I'd like a Screamin' 'O', please....:-0
I have a crowbar
come a little closer and I'll tell you! *G* (it's an ale type beer)
and a raging thirst
i'm having orange popsicles
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
I'll have a Newcastle Brown...
heya min!!!!
Hi Min!
Hello Minveryork...somehow the conversation has turned to adult beverages
phantom inanity
Ok I'm off to watch a movie; see ya at the flip!
I guess most people are already dinished since I just scrolled the log and saw no clues were asked/given.
don't you mean "once again" douglas?
hi babblers!
Goodbye chic! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
Yes...quite...
see ya chic!
Hi Fran. Later, guys!
minver -- I gave up hours ago -- tthis grid's too big for my day
hi everybody!
hi chic! bye chic!
Hi FranMag! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hi min!
hi ping!
LesForMore, my eyes are squinty from being closer to the monitor, NOW will you tell me?
Hello jillubus!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Hi rennie -- read your icon -- mine is a similar thing
hey fran and ping and jilli!
hi rennie!!
hey jilli!
min -- just finished dinner and have 188 to go, haha
Hello Ping! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
sweet jilli!
I still can't find the babble bar key. and i need a shirley temple. extra grenadine
;)
i can pick locks...let me give it a go
Smaller, will reply to your email tomorrow. At the moment am tryint to finish grid and not fall off my chair
renny, did you learn that skill from "The Family"?
we'll prop you up yoink
yes smaller...
I only have 168 words so far.Whenever it's a big grid my goal is 200. Then I don't care about it after that.
Back with a theme-based icon for the last hour and change
min, I have 80 words and I don't care!
wow, that's beautiful douglas! where is it?
i'm on your coat tails tonight min
propping helps with one part Renny, finding words seems impossible. I think I have killed that [art of my brain
part
Douglas, pleas identify that lovely building!
hey ping! thanks for the email, i've never received a personal response to a blog comment before. :-)
It's Thorncrown Chapel, near Eureka Springs, Arkansas
thanks, douglas
snow in Arkansas?
yoink, maybe it was the inappropriate use of the letter Z in secret word that killed your brain cells? :-)
It was built in 1980...
It's beautiful, Douglas. I'm from Arkansas. That chapel has won many architectural awards, right?
i still only have 74 words
I hope you read about my icon before I go to tomorrow's theme of "stones"
words...stones?
as in precious?
smaller, I thought I was going to get the booby prize with only 81 words!
The tiny building with a single room has brought Jones international recognition. The 1981 AIA Honor Award jury singled out Thorncrown, as did Newsweek, which called it “metaphysical.†In 2000, members of the American Institute of Architects voted the chapel one of the top 10 buildings of the 20th century. So successful in attracting weddings and worship services was the entire site that in 1989 the owner commissioned a second Jones structure down the hillside, the Thorncrown Worship Center, to accommodate larger crowds. Quoting from Architectural Record
any kind, I guess, rennie!
douglas, I 'm not surprised. It is soooo beautiful!
lol, Fran. I was incensed. I hope my small profanity doesn't get me blackmarked
well the asterisks make it look like a huge profanity! i thought it was funny. :-)
I found a word! And it was a 7!
I think I missed some "profanity" here...
It's another site Jilli
Hooray for yoink!
Yay Yoink! Is it the film fancier?
Oh
lol yoink, if you're black listed, then i haven't got a prayer. lool
hey smooth!
Douglas, it was po7, meaning what I am out of all babblers

although i know of the poem, i can't recall any of it except the title!

'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'
one of my favourite couplets
so6/18 - the second one please

Finally made the plane into Paris, Honey mooning down by the *****. Peter Brown called to say, "You can make it O.K., You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain".
flosey, so6/18s, one is a big party, the other has to do with sound, usually reso****
sounds like a girls name art - change last letter
artdr, nickname for mrs. reagan perhaps
Thanks again Fran, got it one more - ch7/40 please
"pooier" should be allowed. as in "when one has diarrhea, one's bottom is 'pooier' than normal"

fran, could you clue me for the first fi 6/7 combo please?
night smaller!
Nighty night Smaller
ping, the one you're engaged to.
nothing much, douglas -- thought you might be interested, that's all -- things like the date and the leper window
two different spellings
Pleasant dreams, smaller
thanks!
yw
The leper window was a nice touch...
such a contrast with your icon
that reminds me of a good Monk episode i just saw.
tell all, fran
as4/4 occurs frequently in crossword puzzles, usually clued as lost, clueless, etc.
it had a pretty complicated plot, but the funnier parts were about the dermatologist that had leprosy as a child
he got cured and decided to dedicate his life to helping others with skin problems.
at the beginning no one knows he had been a leper, so when they find out the hilarity ensues.
that doesn't sound exactly hilarious, fran!
i guess you had to be there.
My death waits like an old ****
So confident I'll go his way Whistle to him and the passing time My death waits like a bible truth At the funeral of my youth Weep loud for that and the passing time My death waits like a witch at night As surely as our love is bright Let's not think about the passing time
I'm actually quite chipper and cheery, just giving a musical clue from Jacques Brel...
i can't even begin to explain the main story, but it involves another guy who pretends to be a leper
they can make anything funny on monk
kinda like the simpsons
thjis gets funner and funnier -- ?
i love tony shalhoub too, he was my favorite character on Cars too.
have you ever seen Monk jilli?
is that show still on or are you watching it on dvd, fran?
I'm watching the infomercial for 70's Music Explosion, and another Jacques Brel song is mentioned, the song that became "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks
I'm not sure -- I think I did a couple of times years ago
it was on late-night reruns on USA a couple of weeks ago.
monk is soooooooooooo good and funny
ooga-chaka ooga ooga...
babling has really cut into my TV watching time - lol!
douglas, jacques brel must have been depressed, seasons in the sun is a really sad song.

Fireworks!! Thank you JMann. Now for a swim
CI 6/24 is the Roman senator and orator
the ci9 is Roman speechifier runs into singles
then, the next CI ends with a number, then it's plural (thats the CI 9)
yw anike
well, the extra time is nice, but I want the next grid - waaaaah!
did that help Sudoku
i don'
i don't know the roman senator and orator brain is not functioning
CI + the number before one - then change the first letter of that number to the third letter of the alphabet
that is the CI 6/24
that helped ty
did you get the CI 9?
yeah plus a bunch more thanks
take that CI make it plural for the CI 7/36
no problem
ok, which one of you broke the flip?
missing a pa 4/5 and 5/10 just after the italian folk and before the dance
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............
TO - do you have the "Oh the Joy and the PA**"
To are you missing the pa from long ago? as in not present but pa** tense?
the other PA 4 is PA + the ocean (minus the last letter)
and then there is no PA 5/10 - do you mean 5/12?
with the 5 being the funny little foreign car
missing pa4/5 and 5/10 after pa7/32 then pa5/12 - a bit over halfway down
4/5 and 5/12
lickety's has flipped
that would be pa4.5 that rhymes with b***ball
the PA that lbd just clued + another vowel
that is the dance i need the two above that
pa+ not out...OWIE
PA + I am, You are, She ** + a vowel
then there is another PA 5/12 that is the same as that last pa i just clued, but with a different last vowel
Pa+not out plural, and pa4/5+ cross letter=5.12's
then the pa that lbd just clued, but the plural of it = more than one ouch in the butt
i'm off to read and fall asleep in bed. Night everyone see you tomorrow.
nite lbdawger - thanks for the clues
anyone else need any clues?
night dawg ty *head down*
if you complete it now, does it count? I mean, it's after the flip, and if we hit the refresh button on the screen, it should take us to the new puzzle (I'm thinking, as I just did that with Licketly's list, and I have the next list)
can anyone please help me? i need the se5-6 combo after the ceremony to reaise the dead
