stid, what happened to your face? (haha, that sounds so bad...)

12:30 am

oh it sounds so silly -- I was taking a cake out of the oven, the kind that has to cool upside down so it doesn't sag --- and in trying to turn it there was a loud noise and it managed to hit my face. I have a burn on my chin and lips. :-(

12:30 am

ouch!!! so sorry, stid!

12:30 am

I did Jill -- ibuprofen. Probably time to take more though, thanks for the reminder!

12:30 am

Ouch! That's not silly at all.

12:30 am

it's remarkable how many of these words were also in the last puzzel.

12:39 am

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Lickety

12:40 am

hillary, I was just thinking the same thing! it's like some sort of synchronicity or something (struggling for the right concept-word). We'll see the same word or set of words for a couple weeks sometimes!

12:41 am

i think the software that creates the grid just cycles thru combinations in a certain order

12:41 am

he7 - a seven chemical word

12:41 am

ne8

hi everyone!

12:41 am

surely they're random?

12:41 am

hi volley!

12:41 am

12:42 am

thanks ornith and stid

12:42 am

ooh, thanks, that gives me 3 eights :)

12:42 am

thanks ornith

12:42 am

I don't think so -- just remember there are a limited number of letters -- 26 -- in varying quantities -- and a limited grid of 25 places. Letter combinations will randomly reoccur frequently.

12:42 am

thanks broll! I found it! (two 8s)

12:42 am

does the he 7 have something to do with blood?

12:43 am

yw

12:43 am

1:20 am

hey (i'm new) what is licketys list?

1:20 am

night stid

1:20 am

jenn, if you look below the grid where it says "friends of babble" there is a link

1:20 am

There were some rather high ******* at that Buffalo-Ottawa fight recently...

1:21 am

*hockey game

1:21 am

it gives the first two letters, the number of letters, and the point value of all the words in the puzzle

1:21 am

thanks so much ornith! i am just blind apprantly.

1:22 am

do you know how the points work, jenn?

1:23 am

kinda...

1:24 am

finally got the final 8

1:24 am

points = sum of points on the tiles for 4 letter words. for 5 letter words it's sum x2. for 6 letter words, sum x3. etc for longer ones.

1:24 am

qu counts as two letters even though it's on one tile, btw

1:25 am

The 'Help' button at the right top of this page is helpful too

1:25 am

ah, gotcha. that makes sense.

1:25 am

but there is no fun in the help button sprite! :P

1:26 am

for some there is

1:26 am

es- 7/40 please

1:26 am

Meaningless protest over the absence of spewn from the dictionary. "As the lava spewn from the volcano began to engulf the village, the terrified peasants ran screaming in terror."

1:26 am

cdv, a lawyer... es + qu5

1:27 am

right with you there, Douglas. Tried it twice.

1:27 am

Jenn- AngelSong's link (below in Friends of Babble) is a help too

1:27 am

anyone have im7 help?

1:27 am

thanks jill! :)

1:27 am

cowboy movie and movies

1:28 am

but no guarantees over 'fun' on Angelsong's page

1:29 am

reduces functionality...

1:29 am

justa...

1:29 am

oh well sprite, i think i will take my chances.

1:29 am

I take it to heart, Dee - won't try to be a good housekeeper today, llol

1:36 am

pretty soon i'm going to be out of yesterday's words and i'll have to start thinking.

LOL... babble instead sprite

1:37 am

bedtime here. night all...

1:37 am

murmerers, complainers, kvetchers, etc...

1:39 am

thanks sprite

1:39 am

we were at a fantasy and gothic convention yesterday and she so much wanted a spectacular dress that I gave in - she looks a princess from the middle ages!

1:39 am

how old is she sprite?

1:39 am

how old is she?

1:39 am

night freep

1:39 am

she is 9 now

1:40 am

I just got over a third of the way (slightly further thanks to sprite), so I'm coming back laterfor another assault on the grid...sprite, put up a picture of her in the spectacular dress!

1:40 am

sounds lovely, sprite!

1:40 am

wow, my daughter will be there before i know it, she's going to be 2 in May

1:40 am

Great age. I'm enjoying two 9-year-old granddaughters.

1:40 am

hey, great idea, Douglas, will do!

1:40 am

later doug!

1:40 am

when in May, fran?

1:40 am

have a great day, Douglas

1:40 am

May 21st jilli

1:41 am

Bye Doug

1:41 am

night douglas

1:41 am

close to mine but no cigar, fran -- I'm the 17th

1:42 am

same zodiac sign though

1:42 am

i think

1:42 am

yep

1:42 am

but she's on the cusp I think

1:43 am

depends on the time of birth, it is on the switch

1:43 am

that's true, she's more gemini like her dad i think

1:44 am

did everyone see the news about the colossal s5 that was caught? they're even bigger than giant s5

1:45 am

no, did not see it. Was it scary?

1:45 am

not if you like fried calamari! :-)

1:46 am

i think it was 29 feet long and weighed over 900 pounds.

1:46 am

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/29 10849.stm

evening all!

1:46 am

hi mrp! good to see you

1:46 am

hi MrP

1:46 am

that's a big beastie!

1:46 am

hiya mrp!

my son did a report on the giant sq5.... it was only 2 months ago that they were first filmed... amazing!

1:47 am

hi mrp -- nice to see you

1:47 am

eeeeeek, it is not even grown yet!

1:47 am

mrP! *big hug*

1:47 am

wow, i hadn't seen a full size picture, that's amazing!

1:48 am

my phantom: diaspora

1:48 am

fully grown it would be 4 me5 in length... shudder

the amazing thing about this 'beast' is that there are over 200,000 of them in the ocean! up to 20 meters in length

1:49 am

mrp, this one is a colossal s5, even bigger and heavier than the giant variety.

1:49 am

In a way I love that. Nature rules!

1:50 am

you're right sprite, we'll never know everything that lurks out there.

1:50 am

but remind me NOT to go swimming in the ocean over there ;)

*enormous hugs* sprite!

you don't have to worry about swimming with the sq5... they hunt from 200-1000 metres down

1:51 am

how are you doing, mrP? Bathroom refurnishings on their way?

1:51 am

at this rate, the next ones they find will be a kraken and cthulhu!

1:52 am

let them hide deep in the ocean, where mankind cannot go - and cannot harass them!

1:52 am

just look up the colossal squid -- thanks for the link, sprite. Ugh!

pimp-my-john is on the agenda! I wanted to include a coffee station for the morning... might help me wake up!

jilli said a word!!

howdy folks

1:52 am

sounds good mrp

1:52 am

so did you mrp!!!

1:52 am

looked up, I mean. I'm sleepy

1:52 am

mrp said a word!

1:52 am

hey takuma!

1:53 am

hi Takuma

1:53 am

gm takuma

1:53 am

oh sorry -- so I did

1:53 am

hi Takuma

1:53 am

hi takuma

hi tak!

ugh - the curse of playing late at night: I got about 30 words, then every other one is a duplicate

1:54 am

bedtime -- night all!

1:54 am

off to bed goodnight all

oh, I just realised it is 268 words! LOL I am a ditz! don't think I will finish this one... unless it isn't EVIL???

1:54 am

1:55 am

by flosey

1:55 am

seems really nice so far mrp

1:55 am

it is not really evil, mrP. A few unwords, but with this size you are bound to have a few. Not too many though, and lots of nice words!

1:55 am

several of our pet babblets

excellent! fun time then

always bugs be that 'renate' isn't accepted

1:56 am

see, ornith is a whiz -- I have 76 words but have been watching the Oscar followups, the news, and chatting - at least that's my excuse

er, bugs me

1:57 am

thanks takuma, that gave me an E

oops! didn't mean to sneakily say a word

1:57 am

77 now, takuma -- thanks

1:57 am

insert short for mother, Fran, and you will have more Es, biggies!

1:57 am

jilli, watching other stuff is a good excuse!

1:58 am

and I'm no wiz, the folks who had 150 the first half hour are the wizzes

nice clue sprite ;)

1:58 am

bless you tak i got two words from that 'clue'

(it was a genuine complaint, btw - sorry for the giveaways)

1:58 am

thanks sprite!

1:59 am

but ornith, you got all the 8s in a trice

1:59 am

don't worry, tak, it was appreciated :D

1:59 am

i got em7/8 combo, any other ones?

1:59 am

not hardly! I had to ask for clues for most of them.

1:59 am

must leave now -- *poof*

2:00 am

fran, there are a couple more em7s

2:01 am

hiccup time

2:01 am

there are more em7's

2:01 am

hiccup time

2:01 am

must go puppy walking time

2:01 am

Fran and I singing in unison as usual ;)

2:01 am

whoops, I did say that already

2:01 am

seeya lain

2:01 am

:-)

lol you are a fun set of twins... sprite & fran

2:02 am

thanks ornith...*searching*

2:02 am

when we're together dee just call us "frite"

2:02 am

bye lain, hf with the puppy

2:02 am

bye Iain!

LOL good idea

or spran

2:03 am

we prefer 'frite' ;)

okay sounds good

2:03 am

i got the im8. is the em8 similar?

2:04 am

nope dispatch

2:04 am

thanks for the im8 dispatch!

2:04 am

no, Dispatch. em 8 -- emerging spirits em*

2:04 am

yw

2:04 am

em8, gives forth

2:05 am

ne7/8 newborn(s)

2:06 am

thanks sprite!

2:06 am

ty for those clues...looking....

2:06 am

fran, are you looking for 8's?

2:07 am

just whatever pops out at me ornith

2:07 am

and for 4s, and for 5s,..... ;)

2:07 am

got the ne 7/8

2:07 am

lol, true sprite

2:07 am

ah, ok, was going to offer to clue them.

2:07 am

same here, no system at all :)

2:07 am

the em8 ends the same way dispatch

2:08 am

all these 7s are tough though!

2:08 am

thanks fran...i needed that clue! got them

2:09 am

i'm still entering words that were in yesterday's grid so not out of options yet. thanks ornith

2:09 am

yw dispatch!

2:09 am

me6/7 was tough for me. Nice to M*** you, switch last two letters, + short for father. (and plural)

2:09 am

thanks sprite

2:09 am

wow sprite, never seen those words before, thanks

2:10 am

wow, that's a totally new one

2:10 am

there are a lot of left overs from last grid aren't there?

2:10 am

of course there's no definition

2:11 am

Me6 is a chemosterilant. It's also used in creaseproofing and flameproofing textiles.

2:11 am

yes dispatch, a good test of semi-short term memory

2:11 am

wish my memory was better, bet I'm missing lots of yesterday's!

2:11 am

hmm, so we've probably been exposed to it and never knew what it was called

2:12 am

and were perfectly happy with that, Fran ;)

2:13 am

now every time we see a particularly uncreased piece of textile we'll be wondering if it's been treated with me6

2:13 am

i didn't have too many phantoms in the last grid...but boy there is a lot here!!

2:13 am

wish that were true, Fran! Next time it is in a grid, I will probably have to search for it just as long as today, lol.

2:14 am

lol

2:21 am

Fireworks

2:21 am

yay ARB!

2:21 am

yay arb!

2:21 am

grats arb - wow!!

wtg ARB

2:23 am

It really helps that the grid changes for me at 8 a.m. -- I'm fresh, and with a mug of coffee!

2:23 am

same here, 7.00 am is the flip :)

2:23 am

it's 1am here

2:23 am

the flip is, it's almost 3:30 now

2:23 am

it flips for me at 8:00 pm which is perfect for me because i'm definitely a night owl

2:24 am

And I'm addicted enough that I MUST do the grid before I do anythig else!

2:24 am

if I can manage, I babble first and do the rest later :)

ditto here too ARB

2:24 am

I'm a night owl, but I get tired come 3am or so. and of course I can't play at the flip worknights

2:25 am

Even if I can't manage, I do the grid first!

2:25 am

good thing you're so fast at it then arb!

2:25 am

Can I give any clues before I move on to the rest of my day?

2:26 am

not for me arb, thanks!

2:26 am

I am down to my last Ts and Ws and they are all 5 or 4, so no thanks, ARB :) Have a great day!

2:26 am

(of course i won't turn away if anyone else asks for clues)

2:26 am

I could use that im 8

2:27 am

too many left still, arb

2:27 am

no you couldn't, kitty, trust me!

2:27 am

kitty, im 8 is when you can't have kids... lots of spam about it!

2:27 am

lol sprite!

2:27 am

thank you! I should have seen that!

2:28 am

wow sprite, that's all you have left? and you started late too!

2:28 am

yeah, not much babble time today, so rushing it a bit. You guys are a great help with all the wonderful clues.

actually took time out today from babble to cook something lol

2:29 am

wow Dee :D

saw a pasta recipe on TV last week... tried it, and for a first try wasn't bad; angel hair pasta, olives, bacon, onions, garlic, tomatoes, oregano, parmesan cheese

2:31 am

and fireworks - happy to offer clues, but this short after ARB no one will need them yet, I think.

2:31 am

48 left and been going since the flip.... think it's time for bed!

2:31 am

WOW sprite

2:31 am

YAY Sprite

wtg sprite!!

2:31 am

how long after the flip did you show up again?

2:31 am

sounds delicious, Dee!

it was .. and didn't take long to make, which was a real bonus

2:32 am

not sure, Ornith, about an hour after the flip I think

for dessert had brownies, icecream, and drizzled chocolate

2:32 am

and you did not invite us for dinner, Dee?????

2:32 am

and you didn't use the list either, right?

2:32 am

oh yum dee!

2:33 am

ooh dee, you just reminded me i have a haagen-daz bar in the freezer, they were on sale

tried to invite you all

2:33 am

not the list, no, but all the clues in the chat :)

I always make too much pasta LOL

2:33 am

still though! you're way too good at this!

cannot believe you can do it without the list sprite; very impressive

2:34 am

lol Ornith, it is practice, really. Think I have been around here longer than most of you guys.

still impressive

don't think I will ever finish without list

2:35 am

better than twice my speed and without the list, sprite! and I thought I had a really good vocab.

2:35 am

*takes a bow* Never good with compliments, lol. All it takes is practice, pitbull mentality and lots and lots of help from my friends.

lol great description

2:36 am

Sprite is the greatest -- and Englih is not her first language, I believe.

2:36 am

ok, gotta run, lots of preps to make for daughter's party.

2:36 am

have a great day/night/whatever all of you and thanks for the fun and the help!

have a great time!

2:36 am

bye sprite! have fun

we are over here, chat is really quiet, don't know where everyone went

4:00 am

everyone must be concentrating hard!

4:02 am

That's pretty much the case here...

4:03 am

brains cells are in overdrive here, if i'm going to have any chance of even half finishing.

4:08 am

i had a small second wind (more of a breeze), but now i'm stalled, going to finish last 63 tomorrow.

4:22 am

mind you, the same could be said about babble... ;)

4:23 am

yes, but it's much more fun!

4:23 am

and it keeps the brain active.

4:24 am

Mine is obviously not working then - I haven't found a word in ages!

4:25 am

aaah... that is a flaw in the argument. but i will not give up yet!

6:46 am

well, the library MIGHT be closed, i haven't inquired

6:46 am

AP 6/21 and the 5 after it?

6:46 am

em8/45 - verb form of em7/32 - to proceed from

can't say as I blame you. i personally don't mind the snow driving at all, just don't trust the idiots that don't know how to drive in it.

6:47 am

im8/50 - lacking in strength and vigour, powerless

6:47 am

ne8/45 - the youngest members of society

6:47 am

Hi Haz

6:48 am

the campus is on a hill, just getting out of the school is hard, they don't plow the school drives as thoroughly as town roads

6:48 am

thanks Haz, got the im8 will look for the others

6:48 am

such fab clues

6:48 am

pr8/70 - verb form of pr7/36 - give an advance nomenclature

6:49 am

Hello lynxxx - just doing a quick look while doing housework...

that stinks hurshy... not a great idea to go there then... did we get any sleet under this snow? that makes it really dangerous to be on, even w/all wheel drive

6:49 am

*waits with bated breath to complete her 8's from haz clues*

6:49 am

thanks Haz, got the pr8

6:49 am

and i haven't got all wheel drive...

6:49 am

AP 6/21 and the 5 after it?

6:49 am

he8/50 is the other one, a plural of he7/36 - think seven and chemical endings

stay put then hursh... be safe.

6:50 am

thanks Haz, got the ne8

6:50 am

that is the easiest time i've ever had finding 6 8 letter words. ty haz!!!!

6:50 am

You're welcome - now, Mr Dyson awaits.....

6:51 am

thanks Haz, got the he8

6:51 am

hooray for dyson!

6:51 am

i love mine! i have the pink and purple one. it is FAB

6:51 am

I have a Dyson, and like it very much

6:51 am

It's a Dyson DC01- I've had it for years and yes, though noisy, it's very efficient.

6:52 am

Mine is white

6:52 am

please may I h ave a clue for AP 6/21 and the 5 after it?

6:52 am

we could be a commercial. "babblers who know trust dyson."

6:52 am

a green one here !!

6:53 am

i haven't got ap6... i have 2 ap5's, a pl, and more appropriate

6:53 am

I don't think pets who belong to babblers who love Dyson would agree. Poor Spangle flees in horror when it appears.

6:53 am

will there is a sleep disorder

6:53 am

yeah but it picks up that pet hair!!

6:54 am

ah, so there is

6:54 am

7:42 am

Bye Ren8

7:42 am

haha lynxx

7:43 am

hullo annie dearest

7:43 am

apparently, if i had had a baby, then i might be allowed to be there, but she is irked that i have not opted to take that route in life and cannot give her any advice or insight

7:43 am

hi dear nutsy!!!!

7:43 am

ty for the congrats :)

7:44 am

the he8 pls? that will complete my 8's!

7:44 am

one less than high oc**** gasoline

one of my sisters opted to never have kids... so what? she has a dozen cats/dogs/birds as her kids.

7:45 am

cats r the best kids adhd!

have u heard of the organization of people who have elected to not have kids hursh?

7:45 am

congrats hurshy--my daughter's due in early April, and tho' i've been thru it, everything i did is now w-r-o-n-g! i roll my eyes at some things and get the evil eye back! but once the baby's here, i'm hoping i'll be a bit smarter in her eyes!

7:45 am

some don't get a choice

i'm a cat person too.

7:46 am

none of the yucky sleepless nights... just lots ofcuddles!

this is true also.

7:46 am

my kitkat is my lifeline to sanity

7:46 am

no, i have not heard of such an organization

7:46 am

i'm sure you will, mom23 :)

when i worked for a newspaper, there were ads for their meetings, but i can't remember the name of it sry

7:47 am

sounds really cat ladyish but i have 4... was supposed 2 be 3 but one of the babies nearly died and i saved its life so i had 2 keep him!!!!

they do trips and parties, etc

7:47 am

sounds nice... sometimes i feel very judged for not wanting children

7:48 am

no need 2 feel judged! my auntie never had kids... had her cat for 18 yrs! and shes perfectly happy!

7:48 am

in fact i know this couple that never had kids and have the best life! they go travelling everywhere and have the times of their lives!

7:49 am

one mom of a student came up for a visit (boarding school here) and sat at our table for lunch. within the first five minutes, i kid you not, she said to me, "so when are you going to have all the kids?" - never even met the woman before!

and that's disgusting that people would make u feel that way.

7:49 am

hurshy some ppl just think that thats the way of life!

7:50 am

hurshy, people like that mother are just plain stupid

7:50 am

i was quite taken aback, to say the least :)

i cannot imagine hurshy... what an idiot

7:51 am

ppl always ask me when im having kids! im like woah... slow down!

7:51 am

I did not have children for many years and I was bombarded with questions about having children...

7:51 am

it is no one

7:51 am

business

7:51 am

finally got the he8...tks hurshy :)

7:51 am

i don't understand how so many people think that is acceptable. i mean, they don't say, so when are you going to get a better job? or why are you still renting, why don't you buy a house?

7:52 am

and having kids is so much more personal!

7:52 am

*it is no ones business...but that does not stop people from asking that stupid question

too true

7:52 am

and for those who want kids and are having trouble, it's such a painful thing to be asked about

7:53 am

hurshy, just smile and ask them "Why are you asking?"

7:53 am

oh my god i only just got the vegetable!

7:53 am

yes hurshy. true

what if you couldn't have kids, or had miscarried, or had one that died or something... what kinda idiot

what vegetable?

7:53 am

ADHD, exactly!

7:53 am

pe4

what does the veggie start with?

7:53 am

off to the burgh, cya'll

bye nut

7:54 am

bye, nutsy

7:55 am

hi

howdy ky

the veggie?

7:56 am

hi kylan

7:56 am

Hawaiian Goose Alert... Good Monday to you all.. great grid today!

I wonder if men who opt to not have children get asked the same kinds of questions or do people feel it is an open invitation when it is the woman they are speaking to?

7:56 am

hello aloy

7:57 am

u got it adhd?

Oh and good morning all!

7:57 am

Aloy, and the volcano

7:57 am

Haha, Doren! And when parents ask me about "Why is is hand always down his di6 or underwear, I tell them that it will be a lifelong relationship.

9:12 am

There are two - the first means to proceed from, the second is a plural for those who show feeling in a dramatic way.

9:21 am

That's good Scrabbler.

9:21 am

ADHD, it took me 10 minutes to even notice the QU on the grid!

9:21 am

when you throw someone a party that they dont know about, its a SUR***** party -- swap the SUR for EM

lol scrab. i still don't get that winning clue

tx for dummifying it for me evandine

em + the starship enter*****

9:22 am

hah, not dummifying it -- just translating it into the right language. ;)

9:22 am

Yes, that's it, ADHD.

i was thinking that the entire word was what u get for winning something,... wasn't isolating the second syllable

9:23 am

hah with this crowd... adhd's is the right one! :)

aw shucks.. they were all good, i'm just slow on the uptake this morning. first day out of bed in a week and i've got to get a newspaper put together today

9:24 am

i haven't started with lickety yet... can anyone tell me if there are any ph wordds or am I wasting my time?

9:24 am

havent looked at the list yet, but i dont have any PH words myself

my studio is in my barn's loft, so i don't have to drive in this snow (yes people, we finally got some snow... all of 3 inches, but supposed to get a couple today)

9:24 am

ph5,14

9:25 am

there's at least one ph word, Dorens

9:25 am

one ph word

how far r u evandine?

i'm only up to 89 words

9:25 am

tennagers go through a ph***

9:25 am

adhd, when you said starting on a newspaper, i thought you meant starting to read it! thanks scrab, flosey and jade

9:25 am

ahh, thanks!

9:25 am

103 words left to go here -- 3 more words and i tret myself to a breakfast break. ;)

no... i'm a graphic artist and do an advertising paper for a guy every month. i get to be creative... it's a ll display ads

go evandine

9:26 am

phaser isn't a word? don't we set them on stun????

i'm eating my breakfast now... shredded wheat w/fresh peaches

9:26 am

and heman? tarzan?

hey charm said a word (well minus the last letter)

9:27 am

I tried that too, Charm. DENIED!

9:27 am

ive got peach yogurt and a plain bagel waiting for me (they were uout of blueberry!) but ive got cream cheese + honey to top it off...

9:27 am

Hey, adhd - I'll slink off to the penalty box - there are brownies there....

9:27 am

hm...never tried cream cheese and honey on a bagel.. soounds good

9:28 am

need coffee charm?

mmmm sounds so good...i'm allergic to dairy. i have rice milk w/my cereal... miss yogurt and cream cheese, etc. soy yogurt is so disgusting

9:28 am

yeah, i thought it sounded icky, but one of my coworkers used to do it, so i tried it and its quite good!

9:28 am

but soy ice cream is truly yummy.

9:29 am

since my family was jewish, bagels could have cream cheese, but only with some sort of fish...herriing, smoked whitefish, lox, etc. there was no such thing as raisin bagels back then

ooooooo i'm done w/my cereal and i don't want to work now, tho i don't really consider it work, with cats on my lap and a fire going while i sit at my pc in the loft of the barn, overlooking snowy woods

9:29 am

am off,. hopefully bbl, happy babbling everybody:)

9:29 am

bagels weren't meant to be sweet, nor anything that went on them. and since i hated fish, i was just cream cheese with swiss cheese, or onions (the ones that were in the herring) or tomatoes

9:29 am

Ooo, Charm--Tofutti--1 pint disappears quickly!

lox, bagels and cream cheese... i grew up w/that dorens (on the jewish side)

9:29 am

sounds lovely ADHD

9:30 am

ok, 100 words even left to go, breakfast time! back in a bit. :)

see ya later evandine

9:30 am

Beautiful, ADHD.

9:30 am

later jean, evanadine

i don't like lox anymore and can't have cream cheese, so my bagels are eaten plain.

9:31 am

Right column is greyed out, and with this breakfast talk I am ready to eat! BBL

9:31 am

and i didn't like lox then, and do now

9:31 am

see you scrab

9:31 am

Bye Scrabbler.

9:31 am

just plain toasted bagels with a bit of *real* butter.

9:32 am

that sounds good charm

it was flosey... i would go to the jewish bakery every sunday morning w/my dad for the newspaper and salt sticks, then go to my aunt's up the street from us for bagels, lox and cream cheese. sunday mornings were the best as a kid (but my crayolas were still my favs)

mmmmm nothing like REAL butter

9:32 am

hello babblers. bye scrab

9:32 am

Hey, Bloodaxe

hi bloodaxe

9:33 am

Hello Bloodaxe - hairy or bald?

9:33 am

hey ba

oh boy... just saw that i've got 3 greyed tiles

9:33 am

sorry ADHD, was referring to your setting, the loft, fireplace etc, not the food

small ones, but grey just the same

9:33 am

hi blood.... adhd, we always had to go get them fresh, the bakery on a sunday morning, brings back memories

oh.. lol

9:33 am

still got a full head haz...did you find a lady for me yet?

doesn't it dorens

9:34 am

Not yet - I'll watch the Oscar coverage this evening and keep a look out.

and yes, flosey, the loft is waiting. as soon as i get all the boxes up there unpacked, i will set up my loom too

9:34 am

oooohhh...an award winner. you really want the best for me, huh?

9:35 am

ah, you a weaver also, I haven't done any for a few years but anxious to get back to it

9:35 am

Nothing but the best for you, Bloodaxe. Does it matter if they have had plastic surgery to LOOK young?

9:35 am

last thing I made was when first grand was expected - made cotton chenile crib blankets for him

9:35 am

just read your icon adhd... i also have fond memories of getting a new box of 64. they were like magic. I have given them as gifts to nieces and nephews (at the right age... when they're young enough to still appreciate)

i've got supplies and equipment to make just about anything i want from polymer clay to jewelry making to machine embroidery (a gift to myself sev. yrs ago was a $6000 sewing/embroidery machine, before breast surgery, an incentive to get well quick... and i did... all the nasty stuff was removed and I'm clean w/just part of one boob missing)

9:36 am

hahaha..i suppose i can't be too picky can i? otherwise my options would diminish significantly if you're choosing from that crowd.

mmmmm my crayons yes

9:37 am

Well, I'll do my best for you, just you keep looking your end for a millionaire for my daughter.

don't have expectation so high that they are unreasonable bloodaxe, but don't set your sights too low either. a doctor i used to work for said to choose your mate by their teeth lol

9:37 am

hey all i still cant get the last qu? i have 4/8 5/18 5/16 6/27?

9:37 am

mooshie mooshkin...thanks.

i want to find 100 words before i leave... i'm at 95

9:38 am

haha..teeth, huh? i suppose you can tell a lot about a person by their teeth...hygene is very important

9:38 am

dfa - It's the same structure as the spurting sq6/27 but remove the s from the front

9:38 am

switch the vowel at the end of the 5/16 to a consonant

9:38 am

anyone got the pr 7/36 ?

9:39 am

pr7/36 - give a child a label in advance

to decide on what you'll call your unborn baby ahead of time pr****

9:39 am

pr7/36 to give the baby a monicker before birth

9:39 am

9:57 am

bye adhd

oh i can't wait until it gets warm. just saw food show with nyc places and i would like to check some out

9:59 am

just let me know when! food in nyc is a major draw. i remember when my kids were little, when we'd be in the city and they'd see a mcdonald's and i ihad to explain to them that we NEVER eat that kind of crap if in ny... so many good ethnic places we just can't find elsewhere

three i remember are little owl (!), peasant, and a bbq place i just saw...can't remember the name i think it was on al roker's show

i do love to eat

10:02 am

one of our regulars is La Bonne Soupe--been going there for 25 years when in the Big Apple: La Bonne Soupe, 48 W. 55 th (between 5 th & 6 th Aves.), 212-586-7650, www.labonnesoupe.com

10:03 am

mhm. i like that place too une. went to a chilean place saturday night which i had never even heard of.. it was good. saw the 25th annual putnam spelling bee on broadway.. what a cute show!

sounds neat...does chilean food use a lot of beef?

10:04 am

saw that with my daughter last year--very cute!

10:05 am

i had salmon, and they had chilean sea bass (no surprise there) ... a butternut squash cappucino for first course--i don't eat much beef so i didn't notice

10:05 am

Eva - think of an athletics discipline where seven events are taken, use the start of that plus a rearranging of the word that goes with tidy

10:13 am

he8 = C7H16

1:36 pm

1:37 pm

i'll wait til it's comes out on DVD of course wurdy, but unfortunately it's only available on Region 1 at the mo.....

1:37 pm

ahhh I got mine off ebay only place i could find it

1:38 pm

ha 7/36 clue please

1:38 pm

and i'm still waiting for Poltergeist (one of my favorite 80s movies) to come out on Region 2......

1:40 pm

You'd think that Poltergeist would come out on Region 2 sometime this year, as a 25th Anniversary Special Edition or something......

1:41 pm

Really...No poltergeist! That is crazy!

1:42 pm

movieman when I was younger freddy gave me nightmares

1:42 pm

Parts 2 and 3 are available on Region 2, but only as "vanilla" discs......no extras!!!

1:43 pm

what about ebay...can you get them on that?

1:43 pm

Only as Dutch or French copies, wurdy......

1:43 pm

totally blows

1:44 pm

you're not wrong, wurdy......

1:44 pm

frustration city......

1:44 pm

although you have to be careful on ebay with movies...I bought my copy and it was burned...I had to throw a fit to get a real copy. I hate pirating

1:45 pm

gkmandy I think that was the idea lol

1:45 pm

same here, wurdy, i mean what's the point, with pirates you don't get the decent sound or picture quality for starters.....

1:45 pm

Hello, please could I have a clue for the bottom left a's. Thanks

1:46 pm

well if you burn disc from disc it is ok, but i cant stand the people who tape inside the theatre. All it does is rip people off and make the cost of movies go higher.

hugh, you know, third of five, that they rescued, and put that insidious self-awareness into the collective

4:24 pm

good episode

4:24 pm

great episode

4:24 pm

I sort of recall this. This was a Voyager episode, yes?

4:25 pm

aacckkk!

4:25 pm

though i don't understand why he's third of five instead of three of five, clashes with the later seven of nine... and the borg don't strike be as being so... careless

4:25 pm

no, TNG

4:25 pm

I think I will move along my dinner preparations, BBL

Goodbye inge! I'll see you later tonite in the chat log!

4:26 pm

I'm getting this muddled up with the Voyager episode where the Borg queen was blowing up cubes and spheres left and right to stomp out all traces of Borgs cutting themselves off from the collective

4:26 pm

Hello hurshy!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

4:27 pm

yeah that was much later

4:27 pm

ahhh - I wish someone would rerun DS9 episodes. le sigh

4:27 pm

hugh was the first time they did anything with the concept of potential borg individuality

4:27 pm

then you had lore

4:27 pm

Both in story time and real time...

4:27 pm

then the queen

4:28 pm

the queen was really creepy, more human than borg really

4:29 pm

I was recently watching the episode where Sung is telling Data and Lore that he is dying..."Dad always liked you best!"

4:30 pm

I'm a firefly fan.

4:30 pm

yeah, creepy queen

4:30 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the ha 7/32 word please

4:31 pm

it was never clear to me whether she is supposed to have existed BEFORE hugh and the lore stuff happened, or what, because she seems like the result of individuality but yet you also get the feelings she was always there...

4:31 pm

i loved firefly i was so disappointed when they cancelled it

4:31 pm

me too

4:31 pm

yes hurshy like she was the first borg

4:31 pm

(pad and wolf)

4:31 pm

hurshy - my understanding of the queen is she was first

4:31 pm

".... I'll be in my bunk."

4:32 pm

paB

4:32 pm

So she was the one who got the whole thing started?

4:32 pm

but like, she seems somehow incompatible with the original presentation of the borg collective

4:32 pm

bye everyone, happy babbling!

4:33 pm

not really - she makes things the way she wants - still subjective to her

4:33 pm

bye bilt

4:33 pm

Goodbye Biltong! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!

4:33 pm

yes, they never really got into where the borg came from

4:33 pm

4:34 pm
