amiku, you're a whiz!

i took him outside yesterday for a walk (it got up to 70 degrees and sunny) and he threw ice into the sewer grids on the roadside, visited his cousin 5 houses away, watched him get off the bus, he's five also and they r in the same kindergarten class... his attitude is so changed now. i'm just so glad he's not hurting physically too much any more... it pained me so to see him suffer and the screams will haunt me forever

12:20 am

12:39 am

in7

what the heck is a hawaiian goose?

did someone say there were 2 ha 7s?

12:40 am

seeing drb's icon reminds me i have 'lost' on tape to watch

12:40 am

ADHD, its' a babblet

12:41 am

Yeah, but I already heard about the surprising connection, so I was not surprised

what's a babblet?

12:41 am

3 in7's

12:41 am

3 in7's

12:42 am

i didn't hear about it - so don't say - but was it surprising when you first heard it or just marketing?

12:43 am

hot rumor because somebody put two and two together and made a connection

12:43 am

a babblet is a real word common to babble and uncommon everywhere else

12:43 am

Hi all! anyone got the 10 yet?

12:43 am

several of us

thanks HK

12:43 am

yes President

12:44 am

Hey mrp! yes a bunch of us have the 10..

12:44 am

mi10/105

12:44 am

hiya mrp!

yes mrP it's a 9/10 combo. think dictionary

12:44 am

cool! will keep searching

12:44 am

ADHD -- a babblet is an unfamiliar word which shows up frequently, such as inia (the hairy-nosed dolphin) or anoa (the Celebes buffalo) and the Hawaiian goose which is here

12:45 am

mrp, thanx for the email.. did i tell you I can get into Lit now on this 'puter?

12:45 am

ma 8

12:45 am

hi mrp

12:45 am

i have 0 8's & 95 4's :)

tx jilli. now i'll just have to figure out what that goose is and keep it stored in the babble section of my brain

12:46 am

i should try & put some of those 4's together, see if i can get some 8's that way

i seem to do much betterr with the larger words

there ya go HK

12:46 am

hi jilli and helen and chic and adhd and monkey and drbern et al

how does one consume food incorrectly???

12:47 am

ADHD -- ne4/4

12:47 am

adhd, I don't want to think about that

howdy mr president *curtsies*

it's a word and i don't believe it makes sense

an7

12:48 am

I don't believe it exists, even

12:49 am

oof, I just noticed there are 26 7-letter words!

it's in the grid jilli

12:49 am

yes, ADHD, I got it but still don't believe it

don't think i'll stick it out to mediocrity, jilli

well maybe connotes not using the proper flatware or chewing like a cow

12:50 am

have an 7 x2, but can't spot the 8

i think misdeed should be a word

12:51 am

I have to get up early so I quit for now -- again a busy day coming up and no chance of finishing. Too many biggies lately IMHO

i'm still trying to find the mi8

what does imho mean jilli?

12:51 am

there is no mi8 ??

12:52 am

ADHD, I agree about misdeed but there's only one d in the grid

lol oh duh

12:52 am

IMHO -- In My Humble Opinion ;)

12:52 am

santa is not a word but the first re 8 would describe him....

12:53 am

greyed the i's

it's almost 2 am, maybe i should try to get back to sleep

1:06 am

adhd, he holds them so he is one

1:06 am

re 8 is a compound word

oh i got it i got it

was looking for something meaning portly

not thinking about what he does

1:08 am

I was looking for something that started with the colour he wears

funny how we all have different takes on the same clue

cannot find that an8

think i'm looking in the wrong place.. hmmm

1:11 am

I thought it would begin the same way as one of the an 7's, but haven't come up with it yet

the AN nan?

1:11 am

yes

it begins with a common prefix meaning against

1:12 am

i am so not up to snuff with you guys! i have 151 words, only 1 9, only 1 8, and no an's at all!

1:12 am

another santa word clue please?

1:13 am

what does Santa hold onto when he's in his sleigh?

i've only got 102 words, but i'm better at the big ones

3:58 am

Who is your icon, Atalante?

3:59 am

*gasps* a si4/5

4:00 am

You can tell the Star Wars movies didn't make an impact on me...

4:00 am

lol bad douglas bad bad! SW = important! :):)

4:01 am

harumph! ;() I thought I'd found A REALY biggy there...

4:03 am

Good morning all - big task ahead today.... Douglas, Star Wars couldn't make an impact on me because I've never seen any of the films...

4:03 am

morning haz!

4:04 am

good morning Haz

4:04 am

*gasp*

4:04 am

Can someone revive Atalante?

4:05 am

And hope not everyone else is as shocked!

4:05 am

I've never seen Star Wars either.

4:05 am

*Sends Luke over to revive her with a kiss*

4:05 am

*faints*

4:05 am

Hiya haz

4:06 am

*sends Wookie over to pick her up and place her gently on the sofa*

4:06 am

No Lord of the Rings either (might as well get all the confessions out)

4:06 am

I've seen them but obviously not as excited by them as some !

4:06 am

But surely you've read the books, Haz...

4:07 am

No, not even them. Any sort of fantasy leaves me completely cold.....

4:07 am

Holy-kabolie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

4:07 am

Haz, you and I are in the same boat.

4:07 am

Morning all - I've never watched Star Wars either and never read or seen Harry Potter either!

4:08 am

I am not alone, then. I knew there had to be others.

4:08 am

*runs away crying*

4:08 am

In todays world a little fantasy is a good thing!!

4:08 am

Hi JFB

4:08 am

These are truly shocking confessions indeed! What next, things involving giraffes and whipped cream?

4:08 am

I have to agree Hodag, but I escape in word games.

4:09 am

How did you Know Douglas? lol

4:09 am

It would seem there are two mi9's...

4:09 am

Doulgas! How did you know?

4:09 am

word games are good.

4:09 am

Lucky guess...

4:10 am

many giraffes in northern ireland, are there?

4:10 am

You have me a little concerned Douglas! :0

4:10 am

You'd be surprised.

4:12 am

there are some giraffes in kent, I know that

4:13 am

And, of course, with our dairy industry, we're famous for whipped cream.

4:14 am

Good morning all. Haz, to the penalty box! :-)

4:14 am

Haz, you'll get a reputation.

4:14 am

oops Haz

4:14 am

Clotted cream doesn't work so well but it tastes better!!

4:14 am

So, I see, but Douglas mentioned the dairy product first, so by rights he should join me.

4:15 am

Joining Haz in penalty box...you too JFB...it's getting a little crowded in ****

4:15 am

Suggesting we're overweight, Douglas?

4:15 am

He already Has a reputation!

4:15 am

but without giraffes or the dairy products... please!

4:15 am

Oooh. Then you'll have company with JFB and Douglas!

4:16 am

No Haz, there usually isn't three in the penalty box at one time...

4:16 am

Cosy!!

4:16 am

Three's company...

4:17 am

I don't know, Douglas, sometimes, depending on what's on offerto eat, I've seen crowd control police having to be brought in.

4:17 am

LOL

4:17 am

That reminds me...brb as I get some carrots and hummus...

4:18 am

Well, that'll clear the penalty box for sure...

4:18 am

Or wait, is that for the giraffes? They like acacia leaves.

4:19 am

There's a restaurant here in town called Felafel King...I like their hummus better than the national brands...more garlic...

4:20 am

Would you like the recipe for making it at home? Very easy with a can of garbanzo beans

4:20 am

Then, that's the end of it for you and me, Douglas. I loathe garlic...... it should be sold as a contraceptive.

4:20 am

That would be nice ARB...

4:21 am

I've never heard of garbanza beans. do they have another name?

4:22 am

morning again, back for the rest...

4:22 am

also known as chick-peas...

4:22 am

Cece beans

4:22 am

They used to be called garbage beans but they found they didn't sell well.

4:22 am

sa7/32 is a coin, must look up from where

5:39 am

5:39 am

sa7/32 : former coin of Latvia, the 100th part of a lat. If you think of a french coin and write it very wrong, it could come out like this.

6:01 am

yay, angelsong!

6:01 am

6:02 am

yay angel

6:02 am

But a fever is your friend! A fever is how your immune system fights the germs off. A fever is not bad at all.

6:03 am

COUGH COUGH!!!

6:03 am

true Scrabbler, but it definitely can make you feel crappy :)

6:03 am

i've had this fever for 5 days and its geting worse>

6:04 am

Bye, all. Going to work a Celtic Pops concert with the DSO. NO instrument. Just working as an usher supervsior. See you all later

6:04 am

doctor, mousey?

6:04 am

shouldn't you be in bed then, mousey?

6:04 am

bye inge.

6:04 am

Help your body with the battle, mousey---rest, drink a lot of fluids. Well, now it is time to see the doctor to make sure you don't have pneumonia.

6:04 am

have fun, inge :)

6:04 am

bye inge

6:05 am

Sounds fun, Inge. Celtic music!

6:05 am

no sprite my mom works at te school and she's an aide but today she has to teach young four's

6:05 am

If your fever hs been there more than 4-5 days you should get checked out, mousey

6:07 am

wow kanga, are that your kids? They are just great!

6:07 am

thanks sprite. that is them. on a great trip to the zoo.

6:08 am

they are happy kids, I can tell just by looking at them. Wonderful job, mum :)

6:09 am

wish i could take all the credit! but they have a great dad too.

6:09 am

COUGH COUGH!!!!

6:09 am

I just looked at the word stats---2 9's and a 10!

6:09 am

brb

6:09 am

that's even better, kanga :) Scrabbler: yes, isn't it fun :)

6:10 am

sorry, mousey. have you seen a doctor? i'm beginning to worry about you.

6:12 am

no

6:12 am

how old are you, mousey?

6:12 am

im not telling

6:12 am

ok

6:13 am

you should listen to scrabbler! she says you should see a doctor, and i agree. (and that is my mother voice.)

6:13 am

i know

6:14 am

Cough + fever for > 4-5 days makes me suspicious for pneumonia. Maybe you have a cold or the flu, but it is time to get checked. Do your parents know how yucky you feel?

6:14 am

fireworks. Off to sudoku, will look in every now and then to see if someone needs clues :)

6:14 am

yay sprite!

6:14 am

Wow, great work, Sprite!!

6:14 am

yes

6:15 am

my foot is asleep

6:15 am

temporary, or permanent?

6:15 am

Change your position, mousey.

6:16 am

yay my foot isnt asleep anymore

6:17 am

bye all

6:17 am

great sprite xxxxxxx

6:17 am

rest and fluids, mousey! and a doctor.

6:18 am

See, mousey, a mother and a pediatrician are giving you advice. We are worried about you because we care!

6:18 am

i think also because i'm bossy, scrabbler. but don't tell anyone.

6:19 am

Aren't all mothers bossy, kanga? LOL

6:19 am

only effective ones, scrabbler!

6:20 am

so totally true :)

6:20 am

You are right, I see lots of wimpy parents that allow their kids to be in charge--it makes me angry and sad.

6:20 am

i sense a lot of effective mothers here. :)

6:22 am

mind you, don't know how long i can keep the upper hand with my youngest. a firey little handful, that one.

6:22 am

I am having fun with this grid despite its size--but I am slowing down now after finding 115 words rather quickly

6:22 am

your right kanga my kids are grown up now but a little disapline goes a long way so good on you mumsxxxxxxxxx

6:22 am

recently had a kid over to play here with parents like that. Took me about 10 minutes to decide to tell him exactly where the boundaries are in MY house. He rebelled, then relaxed and started playing. He hugged me when he left. I am pretty sure that was because he felt safe, knowing where the boundaries are.

6:23 am

Be tough, kanga, don't reveal any weakness!

6:23 am

lucky she's adorable with it!

6:23 am

excuse the spelling

6:23 am

Good for you, sprite--that kid appreciated your discipline

6:24 am

tearing my hair out here. can anyone clue those long mi words?

6:24 am

apparently :) Must be off for a bit, my son needs lunch!

6:25 am

sprite, boundaries always make me feel better too!

6:25 am

mi9/66 someone who does bad things mi9/84 - 10/105 give a wrong meaning of something

6:25 am

I found, er, my monkey found mi6=mi + th5 minus last letter

6:26 am

Ad, that must be the same weather maker that is headed toward us. :(

i think that weathermaker should get fired for teasing us. where r you lori? I'm in western CT

7:40 am

Southwest Nova Scotia, we often get NE weather fronts.

7:40 am

it hit 80 here yesterday, but its supposed to be in the 40s for this weekend. *harumph*

yesterday it was 80 in Maryland, 70 here, it will be 32 tomorrow. oh... i see that is close to you evandine

7:41 am

AD, by definition, is Conn considered part of New England?

7:42 am

yes, i live in MD, work in DC

yes it is Lori. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Deleware

my son used to live in Lothian MD and work in Anapolis and DC

7:43 am

i live very near annapolis. :)

7:43 am

That's what we were always taught ins chool, but one time, I was corrected by an 'Upper Conn" resident, that it was not N.E.... :(

7:43 am

hello fellow babblers

i love maryland. the weather is a little milder than here, the countryside is flatter, but very nice. Do you know where Lothian is? it's 45 min. from Anapolis

7:44 am

G'd mornign Annie.

7:44 am

i kinda-sorta know where lothian is, yeah

7:44 am

hi lori

i've not met anyone yet who knows where it is. i took the train into Carolton, which is less than 15 min. from Lothian

7:45 am

We used to visit various relatives in NE every fall. I miss those trips. Would like to make it down there again, some time soon.

7:46 am

yeah, new carrollton is a fairly central station. lothian is a fairly small town, right?

7:48 am

Is this grid laden with weird words, or is it just the various suffix meltdowns that will frustrate me?

7:50 am

all of that Lori

7:51 am

Oh joy.

7:51 am

8:12 am

thanks haz!

8:13 am

Oh, that's a reasonable sort of target, Mom.

8:14 am

Thanks for the mi's HAz. On a big grid, I am sometimes a shamelesss clue thief.

8:14 am

Thanks Haz, for the mi clues. Found the first one off to hunt for the other 2.

8:14 am

No such thing as a clue thief if they're freely offered. You're a clue-taking opportunity operative.

8:26 am

totally babs

8:26 am

i still have 225 left though!

8:26 am

all the time babs

8:26 am

count me in, babs

8:26 am

Sometimes it's good to take a break and come back to it - only problem with one this size is that you forget what you've already entered!

8:26 am

that''s usually when I quit and get on with life

8:27 am

On a grid like this, I always wander in and out. Imperative to my mental health.....

8:28 am

Not to mention the spreading rear end.... (mine)

8:28 am

*flops back in* tired me, tired hobbit

8:28 am

Hello tired Atalante.

8:28 am

hi atalante

8:29 am

long walk, gorgeously long walk, but hot and long!

8:29 am

Hello, Ata.

8:29 am

hey ata

8:29 am

G'd morning Atlante

8:29 am

vi! hi!

8:30 am

Hot sounds kind of nice, actually!

8:31 am

wish it was hot here!!! its well sunny but cold! darn english weather

8:32 am

was gorgeously hot here yesterday -- 80 degrees F! but supposed to plummet down to the 40s for this weekend. *UGH*

8:33 am

80! oh my life ur so lucky!

8:33 am

blooming hot down here in Kent! wore t-shirt and shorts to take pup out!

8:33 am

we hit 75 - paradise! but we're expecting snow this weekend. so sad.

8:34 am

April may be the cruellest month, but March is pretty mean, too.

8:34 am

seriously! ah ata! im in surrey. theres sun but no heat. well a bit but only if ur in the direct sunlight!

8:35 am

so do most of you who get stuck resort to lists, dictionaries, etc?

8:35 am

we're always (nearly always) a few degrees hotter down here than anywhere nearby! dunno why!

8:36 am

Babs - I use Lickety's List once I've done all I can on my own, and then use morewords.com for the rest.

8:37 am

our winter has been nutty -- we were still hitting 70 in january, then it plummetted down and we were getting snow in the strangest places....hot-cold-hot-cold... im not a fan of winter, but i wish it would just pick a season!

8:37 am

babs - i rely on licket's & the clues of the fellow babblers.

8:37 am

how does morewords.com help haz? never tried that one

8:37 am

I've done that...but not as much fun...I don't get how some are able to get through huge grids without that kind of help!

8:38 am

Yeah, we had the same wierd weather - much too hot in January, much too cold in February. I worry about the plants.

8:38 am

You basically type in as many of the letters as you know, leave gaps for the rest and it brings up lists of words. I did a languages degree so lists of words don't bother me....

8:38 am

ahhh, sounds good

8:39 am

But everyone has their own way of doing the grid - lots just ask for clues for the missing ones.

8:39 am

whew! anyone see the 9/11 confession news?

8:39 am

yeah im all lickety and other clues

8:39 am

http://www.buffalonews.com/180/story/3 2912.html

8:39 am

clues? lists? morewords? bah humbug!!

8:40 am

LOL

8:40 am

You know you love the clues, Ata!

8:40 am

ohmygoodness i cant believe i didnt get ea4 to consume!

8:40 am

bah humbug it is

8:40 am

i'm not really here

8:40 am

*grins* just being annoying for hurshy. ah there she is!

8:41 am

Where are you then, hursh?

8:41 am

G'd morning hurshy who isn't really here.... :)

8:41 am

Hi everyone

8:41 am

like my star trek icon hurshy?

8:41 am

Hi hursh, was asking about you yesterday, wondering how you are doing

8:41 am

Hello periwinkle.

8:41 am

Troublemaker!

8:41 am

hi peri

8:42 am

G'd morning Peri

8:42 am

Now all the paranoid babblers will be thinking Vicuna is talking about them....

where do you find lickity's list?

8:42 am

ohhh you ata you.

8:42 am

i'm doing ok for now peri.

8:42 am

thanks.

8:42 am

ok hursh, just checking :)

8:42 am

mane

8:43 am

Only those with guilt consciences, Haz! But I was referring to Ata.

8:43 am

so so, what's this 9/11 confession babs was talking about

8:43 am

oh sorry

8:43 am

*guilty*

8:43 am

blame me *sigh* why does everyone always blame me? LOL

8:43 am

its been at least 2 days since i've done that

8:44 am

Well, Ata, you look like someone who would turn into Darth Vader. Isn't that reason enough for suspicion?

8:44 am

Darth Vader rocks! He could banish all re words from all grids!

8:44 am

hello again - please may i have a clue for the cr6/24 - the last cr6

8:44 am

hehe

8:45 am

nono- lickety's is in the links at the bottom of the page.

8:45 am

But he wouldn't. He'd make them ALL re words, just to torment us.

8:45 am

not if we all pretended to *love* re words

thanks Cubs

8:46 am

but he would read our minds Ata so that wouldn't work

8:46 am

never, never, never love re's

8:46 am

hmmmmm true *considers*

8:46 am

"Please, Brer Vader, please don't throw us in the re patch!"

8:46 am

got to go now, going line dancing!

8:46 am

cr6/24 - a line in the trousers pronounced Humphrey Bogart style.

8:46 am

he'd banish re's if the Emperor told him to ...

8:47 am

hi ursh, cr + double vowel + quiet

8:47 am

Or cr plus a double helping of a vowel, then the beginning of not he but ***.

8:47 am

*whispers* whats humphrey bogart style?

8:47 am

The Emperor is stupid.

8:47 am

haz, loved your bogart clue

8:48 am

"All the lines in all the trousers don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world."

8:48 am

The en 6 is escaping my sharp focus.... Help please?

8:48 am

Thanks Annie - had a crisis of confidence with it, so I'm glad it worked.

8:48 am

Ata, bogart had a lisp....lol vicuna

8:48 am

ah ty annie!

8:49 am

hello all, confused weather here. pouring first, now snowing!

8:49 am

thanks to haz, i'm now *hearing* you all as if you were bogart.

8:49 am

or sean connery style

8:49 am

Oh, if only I looked like Ingrid Bergmann....

8:49 am

hi nutsy, snowing, the sun is shining here

8:50 am

bah, who wants the boring sun when you can have fluffy, cold, frigid icky snow

8:51 am

hmm....I guess manseed isn't a real word

8:51 am

Ihave de8/60 and an8/40 may I have clues for the other 8's please

8:51 am

Only on the Colbert Report, I guess, chiley.

8:52 am

nut, you two little cuties in red!

8:52 am

haz..go to google if you want to see info on confession re. 911 and othr terrorist attacks

8:52 am

Sorry, peri, can't help with the 8 letters yet.

8:52 am

8:53 am

aye, cuties we be annie!

8:55 am

8:58 am

9:08 am

9:08 am

Sometimes "great mind" is a synonym for "big head."

9:08 am

(Not in the case of Haz and hursh, of course.)

9:08 am

9:56 am

bye Ata

10:00 am

by ata

10:00 am

I googled the goat and have read about every other animal in the Himalayas, but never a goat. Bummer.

10:01 am

sounds like a sticky substance merk, just put an h in there

10:01 am

I'm sure more 8's must have been called since last night -- have an, de and re ?

10:01 am

oops

10:01 am

i got the himalayan one but not the hawaiian

10:02 am

ty, I babbled the word just now and he is also in South Africa. And you're right, it's a babblet.

10:02 am

clt - the hawaiian uses the same 2 letters, twice - almost like the number before 10

10:02 am

ma 8 nan - plural bug

10:02 am

it's a shaggy thing, merk -- somewhat like our Rocky Mountain goat, but not white.

10:03 am

clue for the re8 please

10:03 am

ah -- thanks, wolvie -- missed that plural

10:03 am

i need that too pab

10:04 am

Meaningless protest over the presence of a Sanskrit word in the dictionary...

10:04 am

And let's not forget the sea birds are there, too.

10:04 am

Oh, hello everyone...

10:04 am

any help with mi9,66 please?

10:04 am

hi doug

10:04 am

wonder what the last 8 is -- another re or de, do you think?

10:05 am

I need a clue for the re 8 you have nan

10:05 am

Hello Wolvie

10:05 am

mi9: depraved, evil person.

10:05 am

It's a vile, villainous kind of person, ricky...

10:06 am

Is another word hiding in the mi 8?

10:06 am

re 8: descriptive of a coachman (or santa) -- compound word

10:06 am

thanks cybernan

10:06 am

yes merk - an ma 6

10:07 am

mi 8?

10:08 am

mi 8?

10:08 am

is there and mi 8?

10:09 am

I must be dense. I didn't get the re8 clue from Nan or the ma 6 in the mi 8.

10:09 am

le sigh - I don't get that coachman re 8, and I have to go. bbl

10:09 am

ma 6 - oh - I'm sorry merk, the ma 6 is in the ma 8 - i must have read your question incorrectly

10:09 am

merk we don't have an mi 8 -- we have ma 8 -- is there an mi 8?

10:09 am

wolvie -- think about what the coachman holds in his hands

10:10 am

oh man - ty nan

10:10 am

Oops, it's an mi 9. So the ma 6 is in the ma 9. Gottcha.

10:10 am

Well, you could be if you wanted, hursh!

1:25 pm

Geometry will get you a long way toward art.

1:25 pm

yes

1:26 pm

and you dont have to be *artistic* to make trading cards. just creative

1:26 pm

1:34 pm

Hello again. sorry. Wolfie waited till I logged on before insisting he wanted to go commune with the grass.

1:34 pm

1:34 pm

but you're missing a c word? cr4/6, cr5/14, cr6/21, cr5.14 x 2, cr6.24, cr5.14 again, cr6/24 x 2, cr5/12

1:35 pm

so are you guys actually mailing physical cards to each other or just sending them online.

1:35 pm

mailing

1:35 pm

no, i got it flosey, i'd forgot to put in a plural.

1:35 pm

hey!

1:35 pm

<*(--(((>---<<< pollock for hurshy

1:35 pm

more fun to actually get hold of pretty things!

1:35 pm

ok, good

1:35 pm

that is quite a good pollock for the medium, stid, you really ARE an artist.

1:36 pm

so did y'all find a safe way of exchanging addresses?

1:36 pm

missing an in 6 & 7 -- maybe a combo? -- have the inside part of a pant leg combo and at the moment

Hi there!

1:36 pm

LOL *blush* thanks hurshy

Hi there!

Hi there!

Hi there!

Hi there!

Hi there!

Hi there!

1:36 pm

hello gapeach

Hi there!

Hi there!

Hi there!

1:36 pm

Hi, GaPeach.

1:36 pm

hi hurshy -- good to see you here -- missed you yesterday!

1:36 pm

oh my

1:36 pm

eeemail

1:37 pm

whether to stay or flee?

1:37 pm

oh, thanks cnan. i'm a little down today, so it's good there's a big grid.

1:37 pm

do you have the crazy in?

1:37 pm

ok, back and reconnected.. what's up, gapeach?

1:37 pm

well then ata, forward me said email, pls and ty

1:37 pm

Stay, Stid.

1:37 pm

i want to play artist

1:37 pm

missing an in 6 & 7 -- maybe a combo? -- have the inside part of a pant leg combo and at the moment

1:38 pm

Hey, Aloy

1:38 pm

stid, do you want to send hurshy your wonderful trading cards email?

1:38 pm

you will all be like, wow, hurshy sucks, but at least i will get to play.

1:38 pm

nan, do you have the in6 - off your rocker?

1:38 pm

sorry to hear that , hurshy -- if you want to vent, we will sympathize :)

1:38 pm

no -- thanks, flosey

1:38 pm

hurshy, it will be fun to have you aboard! :-)

1:38 pm

hi Charm! are you having fun with this grid? I'm very slow today, another babble-interruptus day, lol

1:38 pm

No safe way. We did it unsafely. I weighed the possibility that stidmama was really a psycho killer one town over from me, and I decided to chance it.

1:39 pm

Yay, hurshy's playing!

1:39 pm

well yes but i meant like you didn't post them on line, lol

1:39 pm

wish they were all that easy, flosey!

1:39 pm

stidmama? you're really a psycho killer/

1:39 pm

B. interruptus? LOL. Doing well. It's raining, so a good babble day - no guilt for not doing something else.

1:39 pm

so wait, they can be any kind of art at all, as long as they are 2.5 x 3.5?

1:39 pm

hurshy, the idea of trading cards is not to produce marvellous works of art. its to have fun making something for friends.

1:40 pm

oh yes Atalante! did I forget to mention that? *cue psycho music*

1:40 pm

oh, i REALLY wish it would rain here... drought conditions, not good..

1:40 pm

lol nan, there are some really tough ones today

1:40 pm

well i can probably manage that :)

1:40 pm

Anything anything!

1:40 pm

excatly hurshy! photos, collages, crayon...

1:40 pm

rain also means humidity. which mean .... frizz nightmares.

1:41 pm

are they supposed to be on card stock?

1:41 pm

and I very promise that my icon is a good clue to the level of art I am capable of producing... pretty and insipid often describe me!

1:41 pm

no -- some are made of cardboard and some of the Fimo -type clay, and some of just paper. It's up to you.

1:41 pm

on whatever really, anything goes as long as its the right size in the end!

1:42 pm

wowee, this does sound fun

1:42 pm

I think the world can always use more pretty, and insipid is often the snob's way of denigrating what other people like.

1:42 pm

Okay, back to dive into the se's, then I'll have tamed this beast!

1:42 pm

go Lori go!

1:42 pm

snob says: denegrating lol

1:42 pm

hi all

1:43 pm

lol

1:43 pm

;-) words and words. It's being nice (like Atalante's friends cedarseed) that is really important. IMHO

1:43 pm

G'd afternoon Jilli

1:43 pm

hi Jillerooskidoo!

1:43 pm

hi jillibus

1:43 pm

(On the other hand, don't even talk to me about Thomas Kincaid!)

1:44 pm

have a look through this gallery, hurshy, for some random cool cards. they are called ACEOs there. http://enui.deviantart.com/gallery/

1:44 pm

Hey, jillibus

1:44 pm

hello again all - sa7/32 please

1:44 pm

it's one thing to be sweet, it's another to mass-market it!

1:44 pm

Kincaid! ARGHHHHHHHHH! *runs*

1:44 pm

huzzah! RL Stevenson's work stands the test of time! the story is over.

1:45 pm

1:47 pm

3:06 pm

u go firefly grrl!!!!!!!!! ;)

3:06 pm

Im running spybot at the moment and then will do my windows defender. Chat log keeps doing that

3:06 pm

hi terri!

the width of the chat window has to do with how many characters are typed in without a break

3:07 pm

hi grammaterri!

so when the trolls type their long hellos into it it messes up

but it will fix itself

3:07 pm

k

3:07 pm

i'd be happy to share - the mi9/10 combo is to wrongly outline or describe and then plural

3:07 pm

Hi gramma, thanks for the explaination

3:07 pm

thanks firefly *thinking*

welcome, you can fix it right away by typing a couple words over and over and hitting enter

3:08 pm

got em!

oh it's fixed now ( :

3:08 pm

3:08 pm

the other mi9 is a deviant, evildoer, villain

you know, as i was watching the show last night, i was thinking how good the makeup people were, cause they make them look so sweaty like you could almost smell them, yet they all look gorgeous - especially russo, she made me think that she must really be stinky, yet beautiful - kinda like charlotte rampling in a way

6:20 pm

Hi Nonnie...Hi Feather

6:20 pm

Hi Helen!

hiya renniw, smd, nonnie et al

6:21 pm

i was pondering the ladies' shaved armpits actually! wondering if their razors were getting dull by that point

yep feather - i feel confident in racing you today - even with 104 to go

6:21 pm

they must wax feather

6:21 pm

lol! it's a no contest! actually, i'll use the grid time to research buying a new car

6:22 pm

6:23 pm

last night was so good, wasn't it helen?

Chris is my favorite male singer

6:24 pm

he's cute, i like him too.

6:24 pm

yes helen, makes much more sense then (but i haven't been watching that either... suppose i should be)

6:24 pm

last night's lost i mean

yes feather , although, i think it was drbernardo last night saying that people had put 2 + 2 together & figured out the 'surprise connection' in on-line chat, methinks, but i don't see how, i don't remember any clues linking those 2 together

6:25 pm

if you ever go to www.thefuselage.com, there are a bunch of message boards, and people were guessing about claire and jack ages ago, just as a theory

6:26 pm

they were thrilled to be proven right! there were some clues, i just don't remember them

8:12 pm

8:13 pm

8:13 pm

I'm not very good at the movie quotes game, I am afraid. I am a "general impressions" person, not a detail-in-words type.

8:14 pm

*snags big gooey piece of pizza from nut*

8:14 pm

8:14 pm

re 6: re* (color) + flippy thing on a fish

8:20 pm

i'm ashamed to say it, but i'm missing the mi 9.. and i'm shore it's easy

8:20 pm

re6 is a type of fish, color + fish appendage

8:20 pm

that

8:20 pm

Oh -- she meant Feather! Did you decide on a name yet?

8:20 pm

dorens is sore and easy?

8:20 pm

8:20 pm

dorens, you might call a villain a mi9 (born bad?)

8:21 pm

jilli, it's percival ignacious.

8:21 pm

i'm liking christopher...at the moment! who knows a month from now!

8:21 pm

8:21 pm

8:21 pm

sore easy and several other things, nut

8:21 pm

good name, christopher -- he'll get a nickname...

8:21 pm

Many thanks, Fran

8:21 pm

yw dorens, that was my favorite word of the day!

8:21 pm

LOL it's okay feather, but you'll see -- you'll call him (yoo-hoo chris!) and he won't come. And then someone he doesn't know will say timothy and he'll look up...

8:22 pm

lol stid!

8:22 pm

yw grant

8:22 pm

yeah, if his brother doesn't beat him to the "fly off the roof" nickname

8:22 pm

daniel's such a monkey

8:22 pm

que marta, marta... whatever will mart, will mart

8:23 pm

no one will fly off the roof, that's what trees are for stid.

micro just dinged - bbl

8:23 pm

should i just call him tarzan and save time?

8:23 pm

:-P boys. My first didn't climb at all. ever (I think it was the paralysis), then the second came along and I couldn't keep him contained!

8:23 pm

rumplestiltskin!

8:23 pm

As I said before: Timothy Tim has ten pink toes. Ten pink toes has Timothy Tim. They go with him wherever he goes. Wherever he goes they go with him.

8:24 pm

ooo-OO-oo-oooooh-ah! (tarzan call)

8:24 pm

marty is always a nice name :) :) :)

8:24 pm

daniel climbs everywhere. climbs his kitchen set to inspect the nearby spice rack, climbs the changing table to play with desitin, climbs the crib rail while it's up and yells if i put it down

8:24 pm

and if you call him something else, feather, then he won't have ten pink toes! (holding toes hostage)

8:24 pm

here we go again. the an8 please (my last a)

8:24 pm

too late, we saw the cute toesies on the ultrasound!

8:25 pm

an** (against) + que **** (french for "whatever")

8:25 pm

dorens, plural of poison cure

8:25 pm

*carefully puts toes back and uses lots of superglue*

8:25 pm

lol

8:25 pm

My mother-in-law called her youngest son Rhodes Bethune (family names) but used to cuddle him with that verse, and to this day he is known as Tim and called his son Timothy. Sometimes nicknames really work!

8:38 pm

happy to h*** it, Jill! :-) and what about the invisible gate man?

8:38 pm

8:38 pm

yes Dorens, plural...

8:38 pm

awww, pauvre, pauvre stidmama! (pauvre = poor in french)
