Helen its him with blond hair i didn' reckonise him\

herinfern - whaddaya think? better as a blond? or the black, stringy snape look?
Not the Snape look.
Snape? Harry Potter Snape? I've red all the books but only saw the first movie
Whoever did his makeup in the last lot of HP publicity shots took about two decades off of him

I wish all you actor-worshippers had identified your idols!
Thanks Jill i talk it my sef
melon -- not even telling us the first letter of the 9?
haven't gotten to many double ee's yet, drb. i've been using the double-u a lot though :)

Hi Melon

I'm too tired and my back hurts from washing flowerpots to recycle them
Hi everyone that just entered

hi ARB, just got back from a visit with my best friend from music school in NYC. Saw ABT, NY Phil, MoMA, etc - and rode a bike up Riverside Park/.
sads
thanks, got the ea 9
woops
Sounds great -- friend, music, exercise, and I bet good food!
my first name is in the grid...again
oh, yes. i even found an affordable hotel on Upper West Side
Tell me Tell me
oh melon -- all those familiar haunts I miss
is your name Eetnt?
whoohoo! 8 and 9 without clue-begging :)
OK, but this is for Babblers ears only - Park 79, formerly Hayden Hotel is on 79th btw Amst & Columbus. Newly refurbished. I had a tiny room, just 1 single bed, with a shared bath in the hall. I think the shared bath is what keeps the price down - the location is primo. It was clean, quiet, cold A/C, warm staff. no problems at all with the shared bath - it was clean & not overly busy.
taDay jed!
I got 2 ea 4s and an ea5 -- typical for me when people announce an ea9
make that taDah!
build on the ea4 for the 8 and 9- think direction
thank you -- i'll keep it in mind for our next Big Apple trip
missing one 7 - i have le & st
and jes, instead of jed? ;)
dr 7, Melon
missing one 6 :(
For the records i hate carpet, i just spilt my coffee and missed clues
aand how much $$$ for that room, mel;on?
hey, there's the le7 :)
carpets are no fun, lady. that's why i rip mine out and put in laminate :)
stuck with 36 to go -- hate it when some of them are 4's!
knight, I'm blind to the big words at this point and can't see the further directions!
Any new house i rent will be minus carpet
i am a clutzs
$99/night plus taxes which brought it up to about $115 - however I got an email for 10% off. good bargain, eh? The Excelsior starts at ~$200.
nan, I get the 4sw and not the biggies
Nice there melon
melon -- pretty good for NYC. I miss being able to stay with my mother in Bronxville for free though.
I am watching house of wax with Vincent Price the monolog king

Yeah, I got that. Now my 8s and 9s are done and that's almost enough to go to bed :D
thanks arb, got it!
Fireworks here - tx for great clues

thanks arb, how did i miss that one?
ra 6/30 anyone?
not a common word -- though after I monkeyed it, I lookedd it up and it's an alternate spelling to a common babblet
nm
thanks for pointing that out shannon!
Time to get on with the day -- it's almost 9:30 in the morning here and the sky is blue blue blue
when I was about 10, I had a spelling test at school and had to write the past tense of 'to lay down' ....Babble doesn't recognise LEW or LEWN either (very odd that I still distinctly remember that)
thanks for the clues arb! have a great day!
lol lynxxx!
have a good day arb
time to go, bbl
bye ARB - have a great day in the sun
Have a good day Arb
bye MVA too

Got 7 wrds at moment but only started 5 mins ago
i'm ok now back at work though everyone keeps shouting at me to "not pick that up and sit down!"
Love my husband of 36 years, my two sons, my 2 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. I also have a terrier mix named Jaxon. Love to read (voraciously), work jig-saw puzzles, and cross word puzzles!!! Love to try new recipes. Right now I'm going thru chemo treatments but instead of "pity party", thanks to my friend Saphyre I do "babble parties"!!!!
well maybe you should listen...lol
wow saix how did you get my profile on chatter??
mum not so happy as she now has to cart all the heavy boxes up and down the stairs by herself lol!
salx we don't do pity here, we do lots of love, support and good prayers
j-m thats MY profile!!!
I thought i'd read it before!! lol, well I re-iterate my last post to you granny (though you already know that!!)

Ohh sorry (slaps forehead!) i'm doing alot better, bleeding to a very minimum, saw babby on scan on monday and she was jumping about quite happily (we actually find out if it is a girl or boy in 6 weeks)
good morning fellow babblers
morning pink
hi pink
It's ok, I expect you to be a mind reader !!...that's good then, it would seem you would like it to be a girl !!
hey pink how are you? :)
hello lil....just in time to say bye...must go and do 'something'.
and hello karys :)
i'm actually not bothered either way, one of each would be nice, but another boy means a playmate for jake. Daddy keeps calling it he (he really wants another boy) so on principle I say she
got to say 'bye' granny !
well have a good one karys
two boys is lovely, but then again, so it a boy and his sister !
*is
yes, thanks granny, really must go now...byee
Good morning/evening all. The sun is shining!
thats how I view it! as long as he/she comes out ok i'm happy. and if there is a problem it wont make the slightest bit of difference to how we will feel about her (which is why I said no to the amnio etc)
good thanks just eating my frosted shreddies....you? hi and bye karys lol
MORNING HAZ!!!!!
Hello jakes-mum!
i'm doing ok so far, weak but how much strength do i need to type....lol
hello haz :)
sorry i'm very overexcited today for some reason
Hello grannymaxx - looks like a fun grid so far.
it is and i'm actually finding words with lickety help but i'm up to 126 and still looking!
i'm up to 100 without the list and struggling have I earnt a look at lickety yet?
That's great - you're really stretcning yourself more every day, aren't you?
yes, i think i'm finally getting the hang of how to find the words..be glad when i don't have to use the list...
If you're struggling and getting frustrated, go for it. Torture is illegal.
now at 109
going to just ask YOU for clues then
its them blinking 7's 8's and 9 I don't have any :-(
go j-m!!
hello babblers!
hi fran
Good evening FranMag.
hi jakes-mum!
morning franmag :)
ohh I have an 8!
hi haz! hi granny!
jakes-mum, the other 8s (and the 9) all end the same way, so you've got it made now.
oh I have another 8 and the 9!
woo hoo!
I have 54 to go and really need to set off for work, so will be on in 1/2 hour when I get there. see you all soon
See you later, go carefully.
I will!
Hello babblers
Hello best.
Hi Haz
Hows everyone findin todays grid?
It's fine, an average grid.
been through lickety once and just need 17 more!! go me (with grin) :)
Just popped back to say I think I must have the world's most laid back cat. I have vacuumed right up to the cushion (on the floor), where he is doing his ablutions, he gave me a very disdainful look and carried right on, and no, he is not at all deaf !!
and it's an upright Dyson ( the vacumm, that is, not the cat )
He must be laid back, indeed. I just have to go to the cupboard where the vacuum is kept, and the dog makes a bolt for freedom!
He lies on the drive and lets you drive right up to him before he offers to make a move. I secretly think he must be a little 'thick' !!
karys i got an email yesterday that had pictures of cats getting wet and/or a bath. they were so funny i had to laugh out loud at them!!
Could he be of use in the fi;m/TV industry?
why have the evil consonants surrounded all the innocent vowels in the corner?
granny, that was one thing he didn't like, we had to bath him recently and it didn't go down too well, no that is one thing that makes him move !!
Haz....what a thought, ' Charlie the Film Star' !!
He could star in all sorts of adventures. If it was good enough for Lassie....
this won't do, never going to get the h******** ( naughty word there ) done at this rate !!
back in a bit : )
Bye karys (be thinking of film script possibilities as you hoover)
Morning all.....le6/18...clue please?
morning flask
Hello Flask - pluralise the smallest le5/10
Hi Haz....thanks!
You're welcome! Any sunshine your way?
ok am back
Glad you got there safely.
yes though I really want a sausage bap now
Let the words sustain you instead. Much less fattening.
but i thought I had the only excuse for eating fattening foods! :-(
apart from diabetes
It's after the excuse has appeared that you will regret using the excuse, if you know what I mean.
awwwwww
Well, I'm going to make the most of a sunshine day so I'd better head off. Have a good day, everyone. Bye for now!
bye haz
down to 50 words, may have to go to the list
down to 4 j-m have you got a clue for the third te5?
I don't have the 3rd te5 yet and have now gone to list.

lickety says to tell you he loves you, mrP :)

(((sprite)))!
(((((mrP)))) How are you doing, darling?
oh am doing good! slept most of the day and relaxed with the kids. the holiday is doing me well. How you going?
just back from therapist, who told me my employer is making trouble... so I am not doing too well. Therapist is going to intervene, thanks god, and we will see... but I am almost too pooped to talk. Glad you are doing well. Sleeping is great! Enjoy the holidays and your beautiful kids, and take care of you *hug*
ok message delivered, grid done and now it's time to say see you tomorrow, bye for now
Oh sprite! hope it works out and you are ok soon! ***hugs***!!
bye granny :)
bye granny, hug for you too :)
well, I can say this much, I am ready now for them to fire me... and I will let them pay.
but will not go on about it here, lol... if I am a little better, let's chat on skype and then I want to hear all about YOU, okay? Big hug for you and lickety.
((())) right back sprite...some people are just sh---!!!!
ok sprite! will do soon! you just feel better darlingheart :)
thanks! And you too :)
I see the king and the volcano are here... as always of late! no matter how big or small the grid, they are constant!
true!
i'm sorry, but da 4/9 and da 5/20 are simply not words!! :)
fascinating icon, shdy
oh, someone e-mailed me that, thought it was cute
drat, still no connection to lickety :(
oh dear... server must be down... he isn't online either
I even changed the firewall and set exceptions for this program... no difference. Might be a problem here and not on the server though!
G'd morning Babblers!
No Licketys probs here.
I haven't had movies in 2 days and no word list yesterday... and the lickety Add box flashes green for each and every word, no matter how unvalid, lol.
hi Lori
hi lori :)
mrP!!!! How the heck are ya' doin'?
you mean the browser, sprite? oh, i see, yes. Not the server, it's working fine here
It's great to see ya'.
hi lori
G'd morning shdy
good thanks lori! having a nice break in the subtropics :)
I take it you 3 are the ones holding down the fort this morn? :-)
worked for others yesterday too, must be a problem here. Perhaps I will throw the thing away and download it again.
That's excellent mrP. A much deserved break for ya'. Enjoy!
oh mrP, also the needle case(s) today :)
Lickety's is working A-1 here sprite.
there's always the tried and true reboot!
LOL shdy. A sarcastic "Thank You Mr Gates....." :/
shdy, I have rebooted at least 10 times in the last 3 days, lol, doesn't help one bit.
eek, sprite, but lol lori
Beats the blue screen of death.......
i spent last night trying to help a friend start up a new vista system, not any fun
Vista sucks the big one. Of the 3 I know that bought it, 2 went back to XP. Vista has mucho issues.......
true, about that blue screen. Stupid thing is, everything el4 works fine. Other internet pages, email, chat here, msn... just not the browser.
Sprite you best bet is to uninstall (delet) licketys browser and reload it
vista needs a very fast machine and lots of memory. No good for anything but the newest computers, I am told.
That's weird sprite. Very weird.
I will do that, lady, I think so too. And hi :)
he had a new one, but no patience
i am lurking
Vista is trouble, even on new machines. It also has lots of unresolved compatibility issues..... Needs intensive therapy, IMO
also vista asks you to confirm practically everything you do - i'll pass!
I will be back soon, I am gonna do a reload.
good luck
May the force be with you sprite
VIsta actually sucks bick time
clue plz for the last te5/10
I wouldn't take Vista, if you gave it to me free. it's a dud
G'd morning jakes

Dunno' if it's the one you need though
that was the one ty lori
LOL 'yer welcome, it's the only one I have...... :)
Hey everyone. I'm running Vista at work - it's good - not a dud. Take a little getting used to though - and some things aren't compatible

well..how the grid treating everyone?
oh -- that was a great clue!
first pass is going okay for me, ck, except for the 'n's
for which i needed remedial help
169 words and Fireworks!
Good day, good day, how goes the fray? Not greeting a word with 'My dear, that's absurd!' ? For maybe that word, so sadly rejected, will in its own way become quite dejected. Instead we cry 'Welcome' to all that we meet. For it's with THEIR help this grid we'll defeat...
cognacs, nanette!
cheers haz!
hi to you all ,hope you all well ,hi ya haz xxx
Just to keep spirits up!
last te 5/10 please
hi haz
that's not the plural of the TV prefix, is it, magz?
te+ david ***yed a giant
te5/10 - first three letters of the Biblical old and new, finish with the Californian city of Angels, shortened.
I need one we5/18 to finish (right after the we4 meaning "little ones")...anyone?
nope -- looks like it's not the prefix plural

What a lovely poem , Haz! Guten Tag, Babbler family. I finished this morning at 8:15 and can clue if needed
To the end of the plural battles, attach the beginnings of Mr Harvey Oswald.
Haz. loved the poem
Guten Tag, inge - I'm feeling in a happy mood!
Hi Inge, I need et 6/30
Because this grid is about the kindest ever?
wahhoo I got the 9 on my own!
good for you, t and t
thanks haz
et6/30 pl of et5/18
et 6 is another spelling of the babblet for penicl case
Well, mainly because the sun was shining earlier on, I managed to find three pairs of shoes that I liked and bought them, and - well, that's enough reason!
plurals are my downfall, thanks spell
Haz, I'm so glad you are happy. But THREE pairs of shoes?
we are finally getting a break in that heat wave
Hello hetty, and again I must be off, later
hi hetty
Wear the shoes well, Haz
Our heatwave has just started - it may last for several hours..
I know - but one pair will be put away for winter, one pair was reduced in price and the other were exactly what I was looking for to wear with trousers AND skirts. I've even shown them to husband so no sneaking them in necessary.
Its "teen best friend week" on wheel of fortune (gag me) anyway, these two kids are weird and I swear one of them is stoned!
In further self-defence, I walk a lot!
we watched that last night toad, but the "drunk" contestant was not there,
thumbs up Haz for being honest with your hubby
its two boys, one is short and stubby and doesn't do anything. he ended up answering the puzzle for the girls, it wasn't their turn haha
I actually wore a new skirt on Sunday, said nothing, and he didn't even notice. The shoes might have gone without notice as well!
hm, since they tape ahead of time, could those guys come on tonight or tomorrow?
might be. I don't know how it works. Ours is through AFN (Armed Forces Network) it probably is
Toad, do you have the ability to tape programssm from German TV?
I know what the link is, Haz,all those plurals today's grid have gone to your head--I mean your feet
That must be it, hetty. I tend to shop in blitz fashion, I'm not that keen on it as an activity.
we'd have to be hooked up to the other satelite and I'm not sure how to do that. I actually don't think the landlords have it set up that way
if we lived on post we could get a few channels in german, or if we paid for cable I think we'd get a few
help with na5,10 (erg)
toad, the German TV will be broadcasting a 4-part series about Germany 1945 - 47 under occupation this fall. I contributed to it and wuold love to see the result. They will tell me when it is broadcast. Can we find someone to tape tehm for me?
I have no idea. I don't know anyone with german tv
na 5?10: boys name with plural ending
thanks ing
toad - if you have an5/10, sway round the first two letters.
well, I will work on my cousins over there. Someone must have the tools necessary
hi all :) inge, you might ask some of our belgian / dutch babblers, they might get german tv
hi Ata
You are righ, Ata, will approach sprite tomorrow morning
Hello Atalante.

Still, the best days of your life, you don't want to rush through them!
yea... planning on going to collage and university so going to last ages in school =]

I know, but then look how old I am!
*grin*
these dumb s words erg.
actually grad school was the most fun for me
way back in the late 50's and 60's before yu young ones were even born
Oh, you're so good for morale, inge.
see? I would not even have any use for three pairs of shoes any more
afternoon all
haven't even touched the grid yet today!
good lord, today's puzzle looks like my NextBabble joke
how many words are there today? 50?
hia feather, how is Perci? 169 words
it hasn't been this bad since a few weeks ago when everybody finished in like 10min
we're good inge! hi
Hello feather and Stevie.

I finished in less than an hour, and enjoyed it
sn 5,18 (it think I'm being dumb)
need to get some lunch and tylenol. with the weather lately, i have a migraine wanting to lay me low.
I have such a tired doglet here. All I can hear from behind me are contented little snuffle-snores

I want to go downstairs and make some tea, but I don't want to disturb her
sn 5: like that white preicpitation , change the vowe
dr6.33

FIRE WORKS!! WAHOO
thanks TnT

it worked just fine TnT! and congrats on the next generation!
thanks. 3 more months. it'll come fast
okay good luck all. husband just walked in the door.
bye TnT
clue for the se5.18...the first one?
nm, pulling a peri! lol
dr7.48
plural the dr6 green
ty
dr6???????
lshutt, dr4.9 plus double vowel
ty
Ish thinki of somebody writing a cheque
ok, bout time i started the grid
Can I get a clue for the le 7 & 8 please?
dr6 is one who is dra** (but not hung or quartered)
le7 and 8 (pl) is a direction--to the le* of the ship is le*w***
Hoop-de-doo! Finished, and for once I love the video
ea/8 opposite of going west
clue for the 9 please?
yay hetty!
Whoever Val is, she takes a mean photograph
hello all!
hey kristin!
ea9 doxy, more to the direction of sunrise
thanks for the clue billmster
and dawg
hi there heather...how are you?
whooo hooo HETTY
ok, fighting a migraine
congrats hetty!
ew! that is no fun
question for you kristin...on super hot days (in the 90s yesterday) do you notice baby moves less? i was getting concerned yesterday because he was quieter than normal, and now today he's back to his wiggly self
ty Hetty
because we all know how well tylenol works on migraines
Te 9 is ea--also a direction (plural) Take your ea4 and add the direction word
keep cool Feather, that should help the migraine, especially with the heat
yeah, no kidding. food, a coke, and tylenol helped a little bit. i really need a nap soon, that will do it. i'm in the fighting it off stage right now, not full blown.
nip it in the bud feather! less pain for everyone
le/7sheltered side of ship
yep...very true. I have noticed that in both rounds. It used to panic me (actually still does) but I believe it is totally heat related. If you're in doubt, go in to get him monitored though just in case.
yup that's the plan
just be sure to keep well hydrated, especially with the heat feather
yeah, it is officially 78 inside my house, 9:45 AM...gonna be a hot one!
if he hadn't perked up today, i'd have probably called in. but he's back to his pokey wiggly somewhat annoying self now, whew!
kristin, I was up near your neck of the woods last weekend. Drove up to Westport.
Kristi, could you figure a way to send it to Alaska or further west of you? I'm tired of the heat!
yeah, (totally unscientific theory) but I think the heat just wears them out the same way it does us...I too have had a quiet one on my hands and we'll go in tomorrow to be monitored anyhow
that's great doxy...I've lived in Seattle 3 years and never been to Westport but I understand it is a cute place...did you have nice weather?
good on the going in then! yeah, that's what i was figuring. i was trying to do kick counts, and he'd wiggle or do something 10 times in an hour, so i figured that was good, but he was much more mellow than normal
cold, was 63 degrees when we got there Saturday afternoon.
no kidding dawg, MT has really had a time of it too! I would like to be in Alaska right now.
we did walk on the beach though. I love the ocean.
cool, found an 8
I've had two Texas summer pregnancies, one with twins. Always seemed like they were less active in the heat if that helps you any :)
go feather
sounds good doxy...part of me thinks it wouldn't be very cold there now! :)
ty bunny!
warmed up on Sunday when we left. Oh well. we would just like some rain here. Major fires going on.
The air is so smoky, my asthma is acting up a bit.
yeah, I think most of the US is currently melting away
We are at 107 with heat index, not bad for this time of the year. Have had a LOT of rain.
ew! I'm complaining about upper 90s...107 yikes!
We've been hovering around 100 for about 2 weeks now.
you also have humidity kristin
wanted to see where you came from bunny because of the temperature but I love your logo!!
I think the clincher here in the NW at least is that most people don't have AC...lots of eldery and young kiddos have been hosp. w/ heatstroke. Thankfully we don't have a lot of humidity normally.
Here in UK I still have a duvet and wooly coverlet on at night and sometimes wear SOCKS we have had no summer to date
ty
I noticed that kristin, not many AC's. Lots of fans though.
yes deeha, I was trying to get someone in the UK to try to trade places w/ me the other day :)
oh! only you guys would appreciate this. i was reading my book yesterday, and was thrilled to see the word "tapetum" used!
lol feather!
cool. what does it mean???
we are opening up the basement of our church this afternoon so families have a cool place to be...no AC but it is the basement so it says alright
had something to do with the way the light was reflecting from the back of this guy's eyes
just from context. have yet to look it up.
cool
well, i gotta go for a while. bbl
cya dawg
thats funny feather
bye dawg...stay cool!
Good news I finally got a grandchild yesterday!! Think I will change my logo just to show her off!!
congrats deeha!

yes, please, elder :-)
Haz they reminded me of children's speech the W's

Ok Une
Don't forget that we use the small Scottish word quite a lot here!

ok, got those . . . now, one ts4/4, one tw4/8, te4 x 8, and te5 x 3 . . .
There are two tw4/8
could someone explain to me what the tile stats mean? i don't understand why there's multiple stats for E's , N's, and R's
got it, thanks, haz!!
down to 2 L's and 2 W's . . .
Haz you are so quick ... but I am on the case Une
nocheesie - if you look at Help, above the chat log, that should explain. Also Angelsong's Resource Page (located bottom left under Friends of Babble).
12 la's
have wa4 x 8, wa5 x 5, wa6 x 1
thanks. i already looked in help, and didn't find much help. i'll try angelsong's resource page.
13 le
thanks, elder, have all the la's
have all the L's . . . down to final 2 words . . both W's
have wa4 x 8, wa5 x 5, wa6 x 1
nocheesie - the tile stats indicate how many words beginning with that letter come from that particular tile. As you find them, the numbers change, when all the words from that tile have been found, it turns grey.
last w . . .
15 wa/'s
You're looking for a wa5.
10 we's
right, thanks, haz and elder . . .
ohh, do the multiple E's represent the multiple E tiles on the board?
yes nocheesie - it mirrors the grid
also, how do people know the first two letters??
afternoon everybody!
I have 27 to go and not a one 7, any help?
wow, i can't believe i didn't realize that earlier. it mirrors the grid exactly! thanks mitch
woohoo, was missing the wa5 meaning garbage . . . fireworks . . . thanks so much, everyone!
Because Lickety and I have solvers that give us this information which is then posted on Bab Anon and Lickety's Babble Clues
either by having finished already or by looking at licektys list - see link below
People either have done the grid, in which case they know what the words are, or they are using a list, provided by either brandyjack or Lickety (links under Friends of babble)
of course, I tend to be a little late postng the information....
wa 5/18 - add a silent vowel at the end of the we 4/8 - definition - to not use something in a wise way
gotcha! thank you so much haz!
Ah the illustrious brandyjack, good to see you
Well done Une - excellent, especially as you could not access the list. !!
miss, st7/48 and st8 . . . a male flight attendant
Congratulations Une!!
Congrats Une!
You're welcome, nocheesie. Sometimes the easiest way is to do the puzzle and see how things work as you go along.
Must get something to eat before it gets too late, TTFN
off to pick up safflower seeds for my birds . . . happy babbling!

i'm just fine jellen! how was the visit with your sister?

dr7 is the one you want Fran.
It was good, but too short. We've been cleaning out the family home for sale--so much stuff--and treasure.
got it! thanks jellen and mo.
jellen, that has to be a lot of fun, but emotional too.
Vey emotional. So much found that we didn't know about our family, and no one left to ask.
sounds like one of those "if walls could talk" episodes on HGTV.
Jellen too true ... you always want answers when it is too late.
Very cool finds, too, like Amelia Earhart's autograph, and so much from WWII
wow, that's cool. you should hit an antiques roadshow
whatever you do, don't cut it out of the original document!
There's enough material to start several books. Don't worry, we won't destroy anything like that!
is there a clue for the dr7?
there was an antiques roadshow where these people had some very valuable signatures, but someone in the past had cut them out of the letters and put them in an album! i think the appraiser guy was going to cry.
Esprit ... plural of previous word.
jean, subject of a portrait perhaps?
se6/30
that's the 6, plural for the 7

I was really disappointed I didn't have a chance to really work the 535 one, due to family visit.

Okay, back. I'm trying to get in touch with a friend. I want to kidnap her and take her to a musical.
bye, Fran.
which musical
Spamalot (Monty Python)
ahh.
i have only seen a few musicals live, that does not happen to be among them.
My sister and her daughter loved it, and my brother and his family went last night.
if i were offered the chance to go to any musical, i'd go to les mis, which is one of the three i've already been to :)
I've seen loads of amateur productions, and a few professional ones. This is a touring production about an hour away from here.
i think the ones i saw were all professional, but "the king and i" was so long ago i can't remember.
Yes, I've seen Les Mis, too (okay touring production)
but the others were. victor/victoria with julie andrews on broadway and les mis in london.
We have a junior college in town that used to have a really good theatre department.
we had the williamstown theatre festival in the summers... i never went to the plays but my friends and i met various famous people around town.
ah... the best times in life are over for me, methinks.
I bet les mis in London was wonderful. We went to London on our honeymoon and saw several shows.
it WAS. i cried a LOT.
went to the mousetrap, too, not musical of course but fab.
The best times haven't happened yet for me, I hope, 'cause if this is as good as it gets. . . .
Phone. brb.
you'd be depressed, like me!

he can edit it
Ty jellen and Knight Time
MamaB, you still on Yahoo email?
i missed it...why would he do that??
i missed it...why would he do that??
oops - sorry for the double
yes JB
my guess is he wasn't breastfed as a baby
anyone else mail dr g besides me?
so he makes life suck for everyone else
and left to sit in poo diapers knight
Yay! Current life story long and (somewhat) boring if you're not me, don't want to inflict the chat!
my guess is that he accidentally castrated himself with a spoon.
message sent to Dr_G.
hello again
haha KnightTime
probably didn't go to kiindergarten either
maybe obedience school
probearbly
at first i thought he was trying to copy paste it into licketySplitaus...but it doesn't seem like it...
nah, probably flunked obedience school
what exactly did i miss? an entire list posting or something?
never give a troll too much credit
inge, he can take stuff out of chat
typical troll garbage feather.
Yes, feather.
troll finished puzzle, probably from a cheat site, then posted it here feather.
when a troll has no witty comeback - they post words
wow, what it takes to thrill some people, eh?
yep, from the look of what was posted, it must have been the cheat site
i finished it myself... no cheating here..... meant to paste into licketys
Time for dinner, bbl! Good to see you all, and do a group exercise to banish trolls!
he's probably out spraying graffiti on a wall somewhere
yeah...sure
yeah, sure
i thought that site was down.
oh rubbish!!
probably on his own bathroom wall
lol dawg!
right DREM, did you gyz your pants too
sorry you castrated yourself with a spoon drem, it explains a lot.
hehehe!!
yea i hate when that happens
ok, whatever. going to work on my last 30.
i've never seen anyone do that before...
wonder how many chatrooms he's been kicked out of?
keepint working at it DREM, maybe you can last 4 seconds the next time
do you people have any self control
wow seems like I missed something
don' look at the list and go back to your useless lives
don't you have anything better to do drem, cause please do
i think he must have been scnstipated and pooed all the words out
Hey jbp! Knight have you averaged in the monster grid yet?
we won't try to keep you here, promise
hi, jbp
yes lbd - for july
oh, I am crushed,! my life is useless.... I... I ... think I'm gonna cry!!! waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
i'd say he hurt my feelings, but recall that i don't have any.
*comforts MRP* you're life isn't useless, you have lickety and the munchkins and us! well, minus the trolls.
average number words for July so far = 187
i can't even spell...or is that smell? - i'll attest to that - nut has no feelings
keep in mind that includes the two outliers
wow, um, who are you all and what have you done with my babblers, except for Jellen, Hi.,Jellen
i'll attest to ren smelling.
jbp???
i hope ren has a smeller
there was a troll earlier jbp, who apparently posted the whole list.
she smells strong, or is that ripe?
kinda hard to breath without one
i'll attest to ...um... i can;t think of a rhyming word...i'm useless
it just... well, go back and look at the log... y'all are ranting at someone, but ... never mind. just a troll
ding dong the troll is gone
wow. can we saddle up & git 'em?
beauty is restored
so anyway, hi all

Evening all!:)
rundown of al, as, an, aw?
My clues came too late, I see.
hi, Jacula
Hi, Jac
hi jac! so nice of you, but got em all now!
hi jac
Never mind, feather. Maybe they'll come in handy for someone else.
yep that's what i figure
al4.4 - a + Dracula actor Mr. Chirsiopher L**
al4/4 - beers.
no, just the numbers! lol
*shuts eyes quickly*
Oops! Sorry.
hi jac attak
Weird spelling of Christopher there. LOL
i feel bad enough asking people to count for me, don't kill yourself on extra clues!
hello jacula
Hi lbdg, nut et al.
i have 2 al, 4 an, 1 at, 3 aw
an4 x 3, an5 x 1.
2 al's; 4 an's 2 ar's'
aw4 x3
2 ar, 1 as,
ohh, how'd i miss ar?
1 as; 1 at
Quite a maritime theme to this grid! LOL
ok, i have the "butt" ar. just wondering how long the other one is?
ar5/10, feather
five feather
...and it's NOT 'butts'.
got it, ty
lol, yeah, i tried it anyway jac!
Thought you might!
Yippee, after one hour of dealing with my high-speed internet provider, I am NOW back on the internet! I was missing by Babble friends!
ok, going to pound my head against the T and S words for a bit. 15 left, and that's all they are. too many to narrow down yet.
Hiya, Scrabbs & Callie.
scrabsy booooo!
aww, hi scrabbler! glad you're back online!
Welcome back, Scrabbler
Hi scrabbler!
Scrabbler!!!! How goes it?
I'm here to just to clue for a while, feather, so just ask if you need...
k. 5 of them are four letters, so going to work on that first. that should hopefully get me anywhere from 5-10 with plurals, provided i don't lose track of my monkeying!
ta3, te10, ts1, tw2
I hate when I can't connect!! And then tech support says, "try this"..."try that"..."It shows here that you are connected, so I will transfer you to the next person...."....
ohh, TW....
I know, scrabs! Verizon would like one to solve their problems on line, yet without connectivity, that is an issue, LOL
tw** a braw, bricht moonlicht nicht...
T is done
down to 11 S's
Guten Abend, Babblers. Scrab, especially to you. Doesnt
sa x 9
se x 11
doesnt Nika look just like that dog in Texas that nursed the kitten??
sl x4
sn x 4
st x 10
The day started out like this: I awake and the clock is flashing 4:44. I usually get up at 6. The actual time was 7:45, which is when I leave for work. I run around like a nut to get the bunnies fed and me ready, and I leave 15 min later without Babble time, coffee or breakfast, and arrive only 10 min late to the office because I pretended I was a NASCAR driver on the way to work.
sw x 9
Hello, inge.
Scrabbs - LOL. Oh dear! I hate days like that.
Wow, that is SOME start, scrabs!
Nika is a sweetheart, and yes, she looks just like the dachshund that adopted and nursed the stray kitten. (I sent Inge the link yesterday---did everyone read that story?)
wow, 5 are SE. 2 SL, 1 ST, 2 SW...shoot, miscounted somewhere.
st = 11 not 10
vroom vroom vroom scrabs!
poor scrabbler, i hate days that start out in a rush. never seem to catch up
ok, so 5 SE, 2 SL, 2 ST and 2 SW. no clues yet, i'll holler.
But all is well now because I am with my friends in Babble Land----I feel safe and comfortable.
and you missed nutty at her best, bashing a really putrid troll
Okay, feather. Happy hunting.
Pirate Nut vs Troll---never a pretty picture.
Well, glad it turned out so well scrabs
lbd - I missed that. (Have been baking and gardening and doing domestic stuff.) What happened?
lol she had us all contributing to the bashing! it wasn't pretty
When was this, Lbd, sorry that I missed that, too
it happened around 6:30pm babble time Jac
Was it that person with 'bablble' somewhere in their name? I saw them arrive just before I left.
no, drem03 or something like that
Oh, was 6.41am Babble time when I put my last word in. Can't remember UK time - early afternoon here, I think.
Her taunst often include accusing the troll of having miniature "parts" and of missing grey matter.
It's really best not to feed trolls.
i recall something about him being castrated with a spoon....
oh there were references to castration by a spoon
OUCH! LOL
self inflicted at that!
A sharpened spoon, I assume?
I prefer to not watch the trolls get bashed. I just ignore and e-mail Dr_God ASAP.
i agree about ignoring trolls Jac, but this one just wouldn't let up or get the not so subtle hint about stopping his behavior
"why a spoon brother?" "because it's dull, you twit, it'll hurt more!" i recall that quote from some movie we used to watch in high school...
Would anyone like to take my garbage and recycleables out to the end of the driveway? This is one of the few times when I wish I had a husband.
The thing with troll-bashing is that they feed on the outrage and/or attention. Ignoring them annoys them far more.
oh! you're talking about my little comment?
clues for big words ??????????
we're talking about the whole scenario Nutty
ah...well, i can't help baiting them, if i'm in the mood, then it is ever so fun.
Why do trolls behave so badly? They all curse and discuss sex.
this one posted the whole list in chat, and said he meant to put it in lickety
Did you all know that the rule of thumb for writers is to never use more than 2 exclamation or question marks? To do otherwise shows a lack of professionalism.
scrabbler, i already clean up the mess everyone else leaves at the recycle drop... don't make me come over there and do yours too!
Someone did that recently.
any stw words? i keep trying to put that into a mouthful
I mean at the end of one sentence. Not in a whole piece.
no feather
Really, Jacula???!!!
lol, ok, i figured so, just had to have confirmation to get myself to stop trying it!
quick thinking like elmer fudd! lol
st* then the other letter, feather. 4 of those.
quit...not quick
not stw but put a vowel after st, then w and then you get a man who works on a ship.
Yes, Scrabbler!
LOL
Oh, but three exclamation marks can be so much fun, jac
yep, have those jac, ty
!!!
ty anyway minka
???
minka, one "long" word is a direction. another is a side of the wind.
...
evening all
The idea is that if you have written clearly in the first place you shouldn't need to over-emphasise the point.
evening all
Hi Tim
hi, timh
ok lets try again: st+second vowel, then a child without parents is a **** of the state. put it all together for a 7 letter word
i'm having such trouble concentrating, watching you guys!
Hello, tim.
Ah, but then one misses out on overstating the obvious, jac...
minka, i'm fine with those, but thanks!
tim horton wants to throw her new computer out the window............cancel or allow
I just learned a few years ago, when reading Lynn Truss' book, Eat, Shoots and Leaves, that "..." is called an ellipsis.
oh sorry............
nonononono Tim!
pam - true. But, unless for comedy, why would one do that? *grins*
cancel. tim horton should ship said computer to jesdraggon instead :)
jes will trade timhorton for her current computer
i hate vista
LOLOLOL, jac. I wrote poetry--VERY little punctuation.
no prob. i left you a couple clues though.
still getting those pop ups Tim?
ok, back to my monkeys.
Me, too, pam. Also, some with lots of punctuation.
. -- ...------.....--.-.-.-......---- That is a clue in Morse code.
i can\t instal anything
I use many ? and ! only when I am peeved. Or writing casually. I am very cautious otherwise. But, here on chat, to razz, I can use a great deal of 'sclamation marks!!!!!!!!
awww, now that's just cruel scrabbler!
She's taking the p** out of me, feather, for the remarks on punctuation.
No, Feather, Braille would be clue, but Morse code is funny, at least in our symbol wars.
Where did you get your laptop from Tim? do they have any tech support for you?
i saw some show where they had a race between a guy doing morse code, and a guy using text messaging, to see who was faster with the message. morse code won.
Too many !'s' can break the chat log. LOL
Jac, would you mind writing out the while v. whilst explanation you sent in a few weeks ago? I thought I saved it to read, but alas, no such luck
Jacula, did you read Lynn Truss' book?
noooo, i can read braille!!!
LOLOL, Jac!
Scrabbler - Yes. However, that's not where I found that out.
see, i'm torn between ignoring the code, and looking it up, even though i know it's a word i already have
Those fluent in morse code work with incredible speed
Do you do babble in Braille, feather?
my mom's partner is blind, so i can visually read braille.
feels like it sometimes scrabbler!
Feather, I totally BS'd the Morse code thing.
pam - I suppose it's like touch typing; you just know where all the letters/what all the letters are without thinking.
Very cool, feather
And, speed was of the essence, so yes it's touch typing and confidence!
ok, ty for telling me that and saving me from looking it up! i knew it didn't start with S, which is all i have left.
Neat skill, Feather.
scrabs, that was pretty funny!
feather - I didn't know it was possible to visually read Braille. Wow! Must check that out at some point.
Well, it fit in with our symbol discussion--I suddenly felt the urge to type in dots and dashes.
how fishy are the not volcanic et's?
i suppose i could touch read it, but it would take me a LOT longer, as i learned it by learning where the dots were with my eyes, not my fingers.
jes - not at all fishy unless you don't spot them at the start.
it's kind of fun sometimes when waiting for the elevator, etc, to translate the signs.
When I was a kid I read books on cryptography and loved doing coded messages. Now I find words like hebetation, and cwms, and emfs--codes for real words.
*snerk* thanks jac.
It's neat that you picked it up, feather.
They sound like the Babblet needlecase/s, jess.
there are 2 grades of braille though, grade one which is a straight one letter to one symbol translation. grade 2 uses clusters of letters for a symbol, so one symbol might mean "the", and so the word "other" would only use 3 symbols instead of 5. i only can read grade 1.
aha!
LOL, scrabs.... I liked cuneiform, but would never know how to read it. So, I settled for Russian, LOL.
Did a lightbulb just go on?
well, it did. then it flickered and died...
and caught :) got it
grade 2 sounds like it would be difficult...
Pam, then there is the tricky one, A=1, B=2, etc. I hope Homeland Security does not use that one.
Oh! e + consonant = 'piddle' and then plural it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille for anyone who is bored
LOLOL, scrab
Ah! Well done, jes.
and my best friend teaches visually impaired children, and her husband teaches orientation and mobility to visually impaired adults
My cousin, Babbler "earth", is a mobility instructor for the blind.
et5 and 6?
oh cool scrabbler!
if anyone's seen "LC" who sometimes comes on here looking for me, that's my friend who teaches visually impaired children
et5 = e + consonant + 'urinate' then plural it for the 6.
She taught one of my high school friends that went blind from diabetes when in college at Cornell. My friend returned to Cornell and even got a Master's degree!
ty
i should get the list. i'm chatting too much to finish at this rate listless!
y/w, Luw.
awesome for her scrabs!
Juvenile Diabetes just blows, scrab....
feather - you can't have many left now, surely?
But, it is wonderful that your friend was able to overcome those challenges...
10 left
if i'd shut up and concentrate, i could probably do it
i worked with a visually impared child. I just magnified everything
It does, Pam, and I grieve for every kid that I diagnose with diabetes--it is worse than many childhood cancers as there is no cure.
i've had several hearing impared students so i know some sign
i know a little sign, from teaching daniel when he was little
wa6,30, please?
It seems like a cruel disease, scrabs. I lost a childhood friend right before her 35th birthday--years of fudging her insulin to lose weight...
Sign language is a great tool to teach infants and toddlers, before speak real words.
i use it infrequently but it comes back when i get another student who needs is
All 's' words, feather?
i use it with my grandchildren
I need to do my garbage/recycleables---BRB
yep, that's what we did. got the "signing times" dvds, wonderful fun!
yeah, i got the list. 3 left, lol
got 7 in about a minute or two
My Cornell friend ended up dying at 37---after complications from a kidney transplant.
and done!
Got sw5/20 & 6/33? green la5/18.
whoooo hooooo FEATHER
Well done, feather. *~*~*~*~
yayayay feather
hi all -- "We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave..."
yep, those were my last two jac
heh. yeah, us too jili
ra6,30 please?
jes did you get the wa6? wa4.8 + ** Miserables
I knew it, feather!
YAY feather!!!
Hi, jilli.
Hi Jilli.
lol!
Oh, scrabs, that is sad...
ra6.30 most uncooked
really now done jes more than rare
Carol died before her transplant
Hi, jilli and CONGRATS, feather
We're still having rain, rain and yet more bl**dy rain, with a bit of that big, yellow thing in the sky inbetween.
Yahooo Feather!
thanks, got 'em :)
send the rain this way Jac
Hope we get some rain to end this bl**dy humidity, jac
whyn't you send some of that rain this way?
Yes, Pam, and she was my only real friend I kept in touch with after high school, as I was a member of the unpopular "nerd/geek club" with her
it was 100 in the shade when i got home tonight.
mini chat filler here, found this interesting:
((((hugs))))) scrab.
The braille system was based on a method of communication originally developed by Charles Barbier in response to Napoleon's demand for a code that soldiers could use to communicate silently and without light at night called night writing. Barbier's system was too complex for soldiers to learn, and was rejected by the military; in 1821 he visited the National Institute for the Blind in Paris, France, where he met Louis Braille. Braille identified the major failing of the code, which was that the human finger could not encompass the whole symbol without moving, and so could not move rapidly from one symbol to another. His modification was to use a 6 dot cell — the braille system — which revolutionized written communication for the blind.
Happily, lbd... if t was within my power. We'll keep a bit; just don't need quite to much.
never knew napoleon had his "hand" in it, so to speak
it was 36C (95F) in the library today, and funny things are happneing with the internet -- can't get BabbleExpress up for one thing
didn;t napoleon's soldiers find the rosetta stone?
that napolean...
BabbleExpress?
Fireworks!
And today's history lesson has been provided by Featherbee. Who wants to do tomorrow's?
Yahooo Merk!
yay merk!
not me - mine's in my bio today
Well done, Merk.
whooooo hoooooo MERK
yay merk!
Jac, that's the timesaver Lickety invented
yayayay merk
Ah!
Rennie--Ty for the history lesson
yw scrabs - do i get out of it now?
Your obligation has been fulfilled, Rennie. Good work!
I have a history lesson in my bio too, especially if you follow the links
TY, Jill
jilli - we both used victor in our bio today
such a day for learning!
thanks you scrabs :)
har har ren :D
i need a snack, brb
i am eating raw almonds.
fireworks....with no clues !!! Woo hoo !!!
yayayay hshliz!!!!
dr6 and 7--I know what they start with, but need help, please
I'm sipping iced tea after having had a cold shower -- not used to this sudden heatwave after a cool wet start to summer
Yahooo hshliz
whooooo hooooo HSHLIZ
YOW, hshliz!
dr 6 = dr 4 + double vowel then plural
add double vowel at the end of dr4.9 then plural
TY, Ren and dawger--stoopid words
Iced tea? Cold shower?? Omigod! I was just thinking about making myself a hot water bottle to go to bed with.
I took a cold shower last night before bed
That's what I would have been doing a week ago, jac!
wouldn't mind an icy sheet to lie on...
Yes, there is a man in my bed but, the moment my cold feet and bum touch his body he will recoil in sleep to the far side of the bed.
Men! Why can't they get it right? LOL. When I went through a phase of hot flushes (flashes to you in USA), he'd be cuddling up to me
...when all I wanted was NOT to be touched. LOL
rofl, jac
le7 and 8, please?
um...is this a bad time? I could go back to hiding...
Poor dan!
pam - that's life. LOL. dan - No. You're okay to come in.
LOL
shipward direction, scrab!
southern general+hospital **** (+plural)
Hi, dan
True, jac, that is life!
le7 & 8 - in the direction of the wind. (Think sailing.)
Dan, you are late to tonight's menopause class. To sum up---be very kind and supportive to your wife, and get her some good medications.
dan, you might find those insights useful...
Oh good! It's hard enough being one of the few guys on here, but then having all the other ones mess up!
leeward
I'll get right on it Scrab and jilli
Wrong box, jilli!
TY for le7 and 8 clues, and Jill--you came in too late to help me
woops -- this doesn't happen with BabbleExpert -- dang, sorry
dan - that's optimisim! Well done for trying!
(That could be the word, jilli)
Hi Danf!
hey dan
Hi dawg! How is everything over there?
Dan, close your eyes right now...I am removing my bra as it is time to relax.
brb
Hi Ren! *closing eyes for Scrab*
Scrabber! You, you... hussy, you! *grins*
Let it all hang out!
Dan, it is for your own health and protection...you might get chest pain if you observe
That good, eh?
Jacula, gravity has taken effect, just like Isaac Newton said.
lol, what a fun conversation to come back to!
nice hobbes icon dan!
Or possibly nauseated, Dan
Oh Dan are you ready to be in the chat tonight?
Oh my!
Or are we doing direction clues for opposites North and South? LOL
haha, feather
Hi all - haven't played today, but thought I'd pop in to see what's happening
Scrabbs - Ah! Northw**** then. LOL
hey, right now i can talk boobs with the best of them
Hi Tinks
I meant South! LOL
talking boobs tinks
Just imagining boobs going Northw*** now. Scarey!
Can i open my eyes yet? (I reely dont' type well by touch)
No, Jacula, very much directly downwa**.
i missed my "girls" after daniel weaned. nice to have them back again for a while.
is it getting riske (sp) here?!
feather sort of just said a word.
oops, so i did
risque.
or risky, as the case may be!
go ahead and open dan, i think she's done!
Ta Jac - was struggling there - it is late here after all
dan - you typed too well to have both eyes shut! Stop peeking!
It is safe now, Dan.
risky might be the one dan!!
LOL, tinks
we've got risque business here
I didn't peek!
st6/18?
Good, Dan, as I am very modest and prudish.
Hi ren and babs - I've propositioned Jac in LastFM - don't think she's spotted it yet...
Hi everybody, thought I would stop in before bed.
Hi Mom!
2nd one
risque or not, I need to climb into bed soon and put my lovely cold feet and bum on a nice warm man. Tought he might not be to nice (or so warm) after I have done so. *grins*
hey mom -
hello mom
Uh, oh, Mom would have yelled at us for our recent behavior.
Hi Tinks
cheese it! Mom's home!
Hi Ren and Luwanda
Hi Scrabbler and Dan
Scrabbler - if you were really modest and prudish you would not have announced the imminent removal of your mammarian underwear.
and I am not going to yell :)
Hee hee Jac - it's always nice to find something warm to roast those tootsies on - I'm sure he can cope!
Hi Mom
pl of st5,10 before it
"mammarian underwear!" LMAO!
Hi Mom! we weren't talking about boobs or anything!
Hi LBD
I know, Jacula, LOL
Dan told me to log in... interesting conversation that I missed
of course not Dan
2nd st 5/18 is like a star performance
"over the shoulder boulder holders"
nope not talking about anything
thanks Ren
and he also wasn't telling others to come see what we weren't talking about!
or flopper stoppers
otto titsling. great, gonna sing that all night again.
lol Feather
more than half and I am toast... ciao, all
ROLF Feather!
i have that one i need the last one
good night Pam, pleasant dreams
bosom bags (my Mum's word for bra).
of course not feather.. my big brother just missed me
I joke that I have to get my bras designed and made at the Home Depot
sweet zzzzzzzzzzzz's pam
lol Jacula
g'nite pam! run while you can...the silliness has started!
are you rolling the laughing floor again?
so how did you all get to that conversation? there's no b in the grid...
Good night, Pam!
I can relate Scrabbler
night pam
Wow Scrabbler! maybe I should have peeked...
scrabs stold dan to close his eyes she was removing her bra
the one after the st5/10 - stone pillar
Tinks, Scrabbler told Dan to close his eyes so she could remove her bra
rolling *on* the laughing floor that should have been. sheesh, typo while picking on a typo!
DAN!! BEHAVE yourself!
Hello again all, and g'night, pam
I guess the description of the holder upper depends whether you have water melons or poached eggs?
Hi Jellen
Dan, you would have entered a state of shock
Hi DR
Hi Jellen and DR
hey jelle
night Pam
Hi Dawg :)
Dan!! I hope you did close your eyes!!!
Or bowling balls, Jacula
Scrabs you hussy!!
Hi Mom
Just got off the phone with my sister, but looks like this has been a much more interesting conversation.
jeez, is dolly parton in the chat?
This is the only safe place where I can pretend I am a hussy
I did close my eyes! And I didn't peek! I Swear!
it is entertaining Jellen
What wight bowling balls, Scrabbs? Silently schreeching with laughter now.
*weight
to go along with the current topic check out my icon.
**checking weights**
Don't thinkg the Isle of Wight has a weight table for bosoms.
Hmmn - I'll take your word for that dan. Scrabs is my buddy!
How about 2 kg?
boob clouds!!
lol feather!
lol yup feather
lol, oops. a bug landed on my belly. i smacked it. percy is now telling me off.
and my hubby doesn't understand why I like the game
game? there's a game here?
DR - maybe he's not seen the chat?
Dan, you must explain to DR's hubby about babble
Exactly
feather - do NOT smack your foetus!
maybe hub should just join in for the chat dr1965, then again, prob more fun for you if he doesn't
that would be interesting
yeah, he apparently was startled awake!
I don't recall being taught mamatus clouds in Earth Science, maybe because of the comments that would be expected
I tried...always looking for another guy to help me out here...where the heck is my brother (dave70la)?
poor percy :(
Do mammatus clouds rain milk?
yeah, where is dave?
He's working but Jake is here if you need a relative
LOL, Scrabbs.
only when they're engorged
dave's not here
are the dark ones choclate milk clouds?
oh flashbacks rennie
LOL, feather and DR!!!
open the door! it's dave!
dave's not here
jake?
Waaahh, I just got paged. Maybe a mother has questions about breastfeeding.
*doesn't get the dave's not here references*
dan - have you ever met 'dachef'? He's a fun male member from Wa5/18. Erm... 'male member'? Maybe I should rephrase that? He's male, he's a pro-Babbler of some years' standing (no! no! don't say 'standing') and he's from Wa5/18.
Jake is my nephew, DR's son
hope it's minor scrabs
cheech and chong routine feather
where's nancy boy been lately? he's always fun
oh, never really watched that
Tinks- Dan, Dave and I are related... Jake is my 8 yr old son who LOVES uncle Dan
LOL jac
haven't seen Nancyboy in a while feather
But he's only 8 - far too young for the conversations going on here!! :D
haven't seen him for some time.
haven't seen him Jac
'Ang ' is another fun guy who Babbles.
Crossed post there DR - just checked your profile
dachef is lotz of fun!
there are a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. Father Tom, Metaleather, Mousey, Smooth_Pappa
Greywulf is another.
I call him 'Wolfie'.
Oooh - I remember dachef - not been here a lot lately but he is one i remember
and grey
I'll keep an eye out for dachef. I've seen greywolf once or twice
anj and wolfie are great fun as well!
SmoothPapa is a male photographer who also plays Babble.
YEa.. Grey wulf hasn't been here
i think we scared father tom the last time he was on.
Torgone is another
I guess Jade is busy with her new job
that was so funny LBD
Torg as well, yes.
Yep to remembering tor and smooth too
si si torg!
I have seen Do in a long time either
Knight will be back at the flip
Do and SMD haven't been on for a while
I wish the flip wasn't in the middle of my night.
MTNJock (Steve Birkla) was another, but, sadly, he died on Setp 1st last year.
oh how sad, Jac
*Sept
It was. Hw was a nice guy.
I don't think there is a lack of men on here, just a lack of them being here at the same time as me
Me too Mom
and don't forget LICKETY! he's da MAN
Wurdygirl and Kthdsn are two others
se5,18--both, please
Daves home eating your dinner
he was very nice - he sent me his resume -
Or possibly just they don't join in the chat dan
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
that, and every time I log in recently, someones husband did something silly...
se+ pale scrabs
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
No lack of men on here, dan. All the different time frames mean they are either a) working or busy in some way b) asleep in front of the TV c) asleep.
and se+ violent action for the other
Hi Min, doing very well. And you?
Hiya, Minver.
I remember that Jac - sad
Hi Min
Hi, Min.
hey min!!!
and joelgee - he came on again a few months ago - then vanished
I know the first year I played I never, ever chatted. But all that changed last August.
Just got off the phone with my other sister and my sister-in-law. I'm familied out!
Oh well, I have finally finished working, and am going to go home to see if my brother left me any dinner (thanks for the heads up DR). I will see you lovely ladies at the flip.
I don't get the 2nd se5,18 clue
bye bye Dan
later dan
Goodnight, dan. Sorry if we scared you!
Mom says they saved dinner for you
lol Jellen
se + battle

Bye, Dan--TY for joking with us
Congrats, Lu!!
i has to stop "listening" to everyone and concentrate
whooooo hooooo LUW
Well done, Luw.
sorry to ignore you ;( lol
yup luwanda, that's why i got out the list with 10 left on an easy grid....was playing in chat too much to focus!
My phone hardly ever rings. Plus, in two cases, I called them first; they were calling back.
Luw, yes, it's strange isn't it on internet hats and forums, how you can acutally 'hear' the chatter. It's a phenomena much reported on forums.
*chats
Does anyone have a clue for the ra 6/30 word please
*actually
i want to stay for the flip but I have to go to school tomorrow to set up my room for next week
I've lost the ability to type.
ra= most uncooked
Min, the most uncooked
Go, Luw. We'll all still be here.
ra - most underdone
min - most rare ( as in uncooked meat)
GO, Luw!
Luw, is it time to go back to school already?
I'm not suprised Jac - tis v late
Does anybody have a clue for the le 7/28 word please

Thank you for the ra 6/30 clues. Just found the word
'Tis indeed late or early, Tinks.

Is anyone here using BabbleExpert v 11?
Phone again
I use it but not at the moment jill
i did earlier jilli
Hi Jilibus - I am ;-)
I have been jilli - didn't play today tho
I don't understand why I can't get it now
hey lickety, how are you
hi lickety!
info on HUGE SHORTS SALE at bottom of this email! this message was in a email i received from the online store where i shop
Hi, harp and 'bye to all those leaving.
Hey all, just passing by
haven't checked the blog lately - any new posts?
Hello LicketySplitAUS! How are you? Thanks again for your list! I have to thank you everytime I see in chat
hey lickety
hi Lickety! I just get and outling and the hourglass when I try to open it
hope you're looking after mrp
Hi Lickety, Hi Harp
Hi, lickety. You were just mentioned as one of the 'male members' on this site.
tinks - na not yet. Jacula - yep I'm 100% male ;-) tinks - mrp is up north
that's an outline...
Hey Ren. Jilibus - not sure what's going on there - restarted it I hope?
ah yes - i remember her saying...
Lickety, will you get a chance to go up north before she has her surgery?
lb - no unfortunately. Got an important Soccer game to play on Saturday.
I just saw I missed mrp before - and all the troll stuff
LOL - Lickety. I just wish me and my Other half didn't keep reading your screen name wrongly. (Lickety splitar4/4.) Sorry if the explanation offends anyone but splitar4/4 here is a sort of derogatory term for a female.)
good luck with the soccer game.
a sporty computer geek!
Jacula - yeah - it's a little play on words - Country and Bum,
and nice looking too tinks
lickety - not quite the same meaning as here in UK then.
Does anyone have a clue for the 3rd te5/10 word yet
hi all
tinks - you calling me a geek? What with my motorbike, wife, kids and sports - I'm trying hard not to be
Lickety -- when I got home from the library this evening I booted up and dbl-clicked on the BabbleExpert icon on the desktop -- I got the outline and an hourglass and waited and waited -- nothing more. I exited and tried again after a while -- same thing. I just tried again -- same thing. We're having a huge heat wave here -- could that have anything to do with it?
I've seen the pics on the babble expert links ren#1
hi Angel
Min, Nickolaus Te*** the electronics nerd
an unusual geek lick...
jilibus - maybe - Make sure everything else on your PC runs ok, and think about if anything else has changed recently. Almost looks like a firewall issue.
Hello Angelsong! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
hi lbd
Hey AngelSong
:D
hey angel!!!!
Anyone need any more clues before I go?
hi Muse!
Hi Angel
I need some more fireworks videos - I'm off for a search. Anyone got a particular hobby other than babble?
Does anyone have a clue for the wa 6/30 word please
Lickety -- the homepage on IE won't load either. Other things seem to work ok -- weird.
Sorry I did not get the nerd clue for the te5/10 word
think i ought to head off now - just waiting for the track i'm playing to finish. only going to get a couple of hours before i have to get up
I'm fine, minver, just loade babble expert 11 on my laptop
jilibus - try windows update
World *** II + snake + **monade
hello lickety, angel and muse.
Lickety - I've got loads of great vids - but all are stored on my old PC at present. Will send some when stuff is transferred.
Good evening to one and all :-)
drinking and quizes lick - will try and hunt out some fireworks for you
jacula - thanks - best if I can find them on youtube
WOULFIE!!!!
hi grey - your ears must be burning
wolf!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, will do Lickety -- and now...more important...when is mrp having her surgery?
hi all
Ah! Another 'male member' emerges! Hiya, Wolfie.
Woof!
Hey GreyWoulf! Another male - I'm off now - enjoy the grid - I'll leave you all in Woulf's hands ;-)
hi Grey!
I also like to play WEBOGGLE, a helicopter game, and Pinball. Sometimes I play Scrabbleblast if I have time.
WOW... should I call Dan and tell him his cavalry has arrived?
jilibus - it's on Wednesday
LOL, Wolfie.
aaahhhroooooof
Wooowww, Wolf!
DR, lol
Lickety - most of them are. Those that are not, I will send as attachments to you.
hello, ra6?
Which surgery are they doing?
nite lickety
most uncooked Harp
Sweet grid today, isn't it?
Hey everyone --- sorry to have been gone so long -- energy has been running low recently
ar 5/10?
thanks jac - I'm really off now. jilibus - the less intrusive - scrape and grind (ouch!)
found it
found it
not health related -- just life has gotten interesting in the Chinese sense of the word
uh oh woulfie, you okay? or is it the heat?
Hello GreyWoulf!How are you doing?Did you finish yet
been missing you wolf - hows the family?
All the best of Aussie luck to mrp
not done yet, Min -- still 52 to go
hi gw
96 to go here
clue please Carra
the family is doing pretty good, ren -- Kirsten has a summer cold but it is almost gone
Hello carra! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
I have all of 30 words -- the heat got to me last night and continues now
((((kirsten)))
gw, you may have missed the monster grid on Monday...535 words
dr the ar5 clue is ar + not more but ***s
seb keeping you on your toes?
huh DR?
The heat has been brutal here the past few weeks --- lots of 90+ days with just enough comfortable ones mixed to prevent acclimatization
So now I'm going to try Lickety's suggestion -- back later
the ar 5/10 tht you found :)
im freezing! lol
Angel - I saw it and prudently decided to go to bed :-D
The ar 5/10 word is ar plus *** miserable carra.
smart woulf!
i had that problem not long ago jilli - once ie came back - so did expert
same here woulf, and i'm a terrible wimp when it comes to heat
Woulf -- last week was chilly, then yesterday and today it's 95F
DR, rennie just clued it for you.
I did it and loved every minute, gw
thanks Minver and ren
oh i just types letters and it was it
i loved it too angel!
Goodbye jillibus! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!
ra6?
must disappear til the morrow. Good to see you Woulf, come back more oftener! see the rest of you later!
The most dramatic thing that has happened in the past few weeks was that Kirstens stepdad passed away just over two weeks ago --- he had been suffering for a long time so it had transitioned to blessing status rather than tragedy when it happened
The ra 6/30 word is the most uncooked harpjane.
ra 6 = like uncooked meat only more so
G'Night Dawg..
most uncooked Harp
later dawg
Word for when meat is uncooked and then comparative ending.
Does anybody have a clue for the last wa 5/18 word?
Min -- yo9u may see me before tomorrow
*Poof*
thanks, sorry gw, it's always a relief but still a shock
nite lbd! pleasant dreams
Farewell, lbd -- I will be back more frequently now -- life has settled down again {{*Hug*}
Hello Merk! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
The same as the wa 5 above it, only change the last letter to a consonant.
Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
I've been gone for ten or more days while I traveled to here.
last wa 5/18 = like the country where welsh ponies are located
oops - 1st :)
thanks, harp -- we are all viewing it as a blessing that he is no longer trapped in his useless mortal shell, but has been freed to enjoy his well earned reward
Renfeld, I don't recognize your flag ... from where?
Thank you for the wa 5/18 clues. I just got the word
es 8 & 9 clue?
bahamas merk
rennie, I use foxfire, not IE, and this un-Expert version is ok -- I'm baffled
Wolfie - I know just what you mean re the trapped in the useless mortal shell thing.
A blessing, indeed. But you will all miss him until he returns in subtle ways.
ea 4,4 plus a suffix
jilli - firefox. LOL.
Today's video is so gentle and scenic.
i use firefox for everything except expert
monkey see monkey do
ea8 & 9, not es.
As for Seb -- he has graduated to mountain goat status -- he no longer climbs just because he can, now it is as if he feels compelled to do so.... if he can find a foothold, he will climb to the top regardless of height
ea8 & 9 refer to the direction the sun se4/4 in.
Oh, I love the Bahamas. Is the weather comfortable in summer, too?
Rennie -- just tried Windows Update as Lickety suggested -- it uses IE (natch) and it won't connect
So suffice to say, I am going nuts trying to figure out how to Sebastian-proof the bookcases while retaining the accessibilty to the books!
The ea8/65 word is direction plus wa 4/9 word carra
gotta go <poof>
ty..have no wa words yet though lol
Wolfie - it's not possible (other than sticking 9" nails wired to the mains in).
angel - are you still here - can you help jilli on ie?
jill it's possible that the version you have somehow got corrupted....can you download it again?
fount it though :)
thanks muse - i had to go to my programs and open ie when mine ws corrupted
Actually, Jac -- I have an idea involving plexiglass with oval holes and eyebolts to secure it to the shelf fronts... I just don't have the free cash to act on it currently
muse -- it's not just BE that won't load -- my IE home page won't either...nothing on IE will load
Does anyone have a clue for the dr 6/33 word please
min -- I can actually help with that one! add a dbl vowel to the dr4/9
Wolfie - LOL. He will have grown out of that stage by the time you can afford to do it.
is that now after you did the windows update?
and pl
dr + vowel + small
muse, I couldn't do the windows update because it uses IE and wouldn't load
dr6/33 - the one who takes money from another on a cheque (check) written.
Thank you for the dr 6/33 clue.I just found the word
jill can you do a search for files, type in IE and click on the icon there and see if it loads
just popping back - Jilibus - try using Firefox to download the IE7 download
Does anyone have a clue for the et 5/18 word please
Hi lickety -- how's things?
et5/18 & plural 6 = e + consonant + 'urinate' then plural for the 6.
wa 6/30 clue?
et + very small Min
Thank you for the et 5/18 clues. I just got the word!
hey woulf - calm before the storm. everyone is away - and next week will be a doosy
wa6/30 = Battles (as in WWI & II & Vietnam etc.) + French masculine form.
sounds ominous, lickety
ty
y/w, Carra.
Does anyone have clues for the last te 5/10 word yet
thanks for that one, Jac
Hey
hi herin
Lickety can i email you a p.c question please
Hi Herin
Min -- scientist famous for his coil
Hello herinfernallady!How are you doing?Are you done
Hi i am at work i need some IT support from lickety if hes about. Hey everyone and hey Grey long time
hey there, herin!
Last te5/10 = te + first three letters of what black folks forced to work on cotton plantations once were.
I am good and i am finished
Lickety -- is IE7 new? I thought I had the latest -- but will try... (just tried BE again -- no luck) -- can't even get IE Help to see what version I have
I am finished! Thank you all for your wonderful clues!
Yea Minver
Yayyyy for Min and herin!!!
Well done, Minver.
congrats
min
I was able to do this in one and a half hours. Thanks!
yah min
Congratulations herinfernallady on fireworks!Hooray
Well done, Herin, also. I guess you finished not long after I did? Don't know 'cos I went off to do things domestic.
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
yayayya min - niters
nite Min,
Finished last night i need pc help and i saw lickety.
Farewell, Min {*Hug*}
Today's grid was a quick one to do, but not as fast in word-finding terms as the Monster grid was.
'Night, Min.
I did finish miunus list. Does anyone here know any decent programs for exel and making it into a data base that i can mail merge in simple english?
Wolfie, and anyone else who is on my MSN. If you don't see me on line at present that is because I'm not. New computer; no MSN as yet.
Herin - it's a good Babble achievement to finish sa4/4 list. Well done!
what happened to the old one, Jac -- did you choose to upgrade or was the decision made for you?
Thanks Jac. Now i just got to get this fickle witch of a database to co operate
Sort of made for me, Wolfie. Now awaiting 'decision maker' to have 'time' to put all my stuff onto naked, alien PC. Dunno what this 'GIMP' thing is re the pics. Might be good. Might be bad. However, I need the drivers etc., for my digicam, webcam, and everything bl**dy else. Would also like Windows XP rather than 2000.
I was on holiday when the 'transfr' occurred.
If 'decision maker' doesn't find 'time' soon - I will plug my old pc back in. Gremlins and all!
hey everyone - just stopping by to quickly (i hope) polish off my last 25 before my eyes completely refuse to stay open
Jac -- sounds like one of those "I appreciate the thought, darling, but..." moments :-D
hi helen!
(((helen))))
Hi Helen!!
hey mymus, jacs, gw, rennie
Wolfie - indeed! I do love my son... but... at times.... LOL
hey hellen
hey herinfern
Hi, Hell on Earth.xx
I have the IE version which has tabs -- isn't that IE7? I tried the download via Firefox but it choked and went into Not Responding
went to see the harry potter movie today - was shocked that the theatre was mostly empty
LOL jacs
not here in the city, lines around the block in thunderstorms
HK -- there was lineup of teenage girls outside our little movie theatre today -- for Harry Potter
Empty? It's not out here until about Thir or Fri, I think.
Any hints for help on mail merging an EXCEL databasing? Any hints good sorry to interupt babble time
hey jacula - i was wondering this when i was reading the last harry potter book - often when someone meets someone else, they'll say: "wotcher harry" what does wotcher mean?
I await the last book more eagerly.
son got lucky - woman had 2 extra tickets that she sold to him and his friend
Hehe, on our tiny little island with one cosy movie theatre we have the movie!
It's on order and should arrive on publication day.
NA 5/10?
'wotcher' means 'Hello mate! How are you doing?'
Kind of like Minver's greeting to Babblers.
hey - i live in a big city - there should have been lines - i was pretty surprised - i know there were lines last night for the midnight shows, but we went for the 1:15 show, in the afternoon
wotcher up to?
jacs - where does that term originate? do you know?
oh jili - is that it?
The Borders bookstores over here are having a special midnight sale/party to let the true diehards get the new book the second it is legal for them to sell
wotcher up to = wwhat are you up to.
our little theatre only has one showing a day, at 7 pm
that's what I meant, jac
Probably London's Eastt End, hell. Not sure.
here too gw
na5/10 those nicknamed like Hawthorne
NA 5/10?
So are you going to yours, helen?
TY Muse
I am probably gonna be pressured (in a good way) to go -- and I admit, I want to see what other special freebies they give out.... I may even go in costume
hi babblers, just stopping by before nitey-nite
I'll just go to the cinema when it's less crowded and then get the DVD to watch properly.
hi, shdy
nope gw - i ordered it, but i can wait until the morning when there won't be any lines -at least there weren't last time - but i did just happen to drive past our borders at about 12:30am last time & it was utter chaos - i've never, ever seen that many cars in the mall parking lot, lol
hi jellen
must go and eat something
Helen, my son was fortunate since he got to see the HP preview a month ago and went today to see it a 2nd time
hey jell
mymus - how did he manage that?
hi, helen
anyone in US watching american inventor?
LOL, helen -- I know it is gonna be a madhouse, but I figure I can also make a harried booksellers night by being nice to them when most people are being rude
someone we know works for Warner Bros.
st 7 & 8 clues?
male helper on a plane, carra
ty
hi shdy -- I must admit that I am not -- I have been watching America's got Talent and Last Comic Standing though
we've seen (except I didn't get to see this one) each preview for the past couple of years, Pokemon too when he was younger
mymus - that is great
That is a really nice deal, muse -- I am envious
How did it go, shdy?
hi woulf - just asking becasue hubby is on next week, looking for people to inundate blogs with requests that he stay on!
not on today, but shown at end, so will be next week
Really? What is his idea?
1st st 5/12 ?
I will do my best to watch next week... anything for a fellow Babbler! :-)
he has a cooking device, to cook steaks to perfect temp. Idea now is that George foreman should recuse himself!
st5/12 not sit
firewords!

last 4... el 5/6 & et 5/6
Does any one have any hints for me regarding a better database for excel to mail merge. I wouldnt ask here but the whole office is empty and well stuck
what a user friendly grid
el5,6 add Woodie Guthrie song this l*** is your l***, this l*** is my l***
not sure on that one, herin, have only used mail merge in word
maybe see you all at the flip - if i can stay awake long enough
herin, don't you mail merge in Word?
Sorry, herin, I don't have any advice for you --- I am not a techno guru at all
et: et + very small
no idea who woodie guthrie is
el: African (Ithink) antelope
carra, just add a consonant to the el4 and then plural it
Woody Guthrie was at Woodstock!
el5=el + conjunction
<only 22
carra he was a folk song artist who turned ballads into social protest songs
carra was not, though!
not Woodie, but his son Arlo was a t Woodstock...
Arlo was - thought Woody was, also?
he sung in the 30s and 40s Jac
Going home to my babe.... red dress... etc. Arlo.
I've obviously got the two mixed up.
I think he was dead then. I was at Woodstock and I was alive...
Chic you do but some genus decided to use excel and no looking at me
details
got it ..thanks everyone :)
He died in 1967.
Woodie had been dead for almost two years before Woodstock
chic - you were at Woodstock? I wanted to be but I wasn't old enough and mmy parents wouldn't let me.
Woodie Guthrie died very early in his life -- so you are correct chic
you have to import excel into word there are buttons to do it with...
and had been very out of circulation due to Huntington's (I believe) disease
**looking at excel, but it's 2007 version, still new**
I have to turn in -- I will be back tomorrow if only to chat {{{***HUGS***}}} for all TTFN
Got my woody & my arlo mixed up there. Arlo wa great though. However, my favourite was Joan Baez 'Swing Low'.
nope, attention span expired!
Thanks all
nite woulf, good to see you
Hey GW, pleasant dreams {{{{hugs}}}}
Nite wolf
'Nite Wolfie.
he problem is we need 9 sub entrys thats why we are using excel
nite woulf! sw5 dreams!
My husband to be was at Woodstock too but I wouldn't meet him for another 3 yrs.
le7,48 anyone?
hubby losing mind, I can hear him (feel on floor) pacing in the next room
I manae just fine using Babble in Firefox and 'notepad' for any stat I might choose to see.
using excel is fine; you have to open Word and follow the directions for the mail merge from tools, I think...
le7 & 8 = nautical term, 'in the direction of the wind'.
duh. thanx jac
shdy - mine's just paced out to work. Not best pleased that I'm still up and still on here. That's life sometimes.
yep, jac. Mine's just in the midst of losing his mind over this crazy tv show. If his liver survives, we'll be OK
ok see ya at the flip....later...
nite chic
nite chic :)
There are times in your life, and there doesn't have to be anything 'specific' wrong, when you can't sleep well, I think my present sleeplessness and/or weird dreams are due to my 'baby' being off to Uni (and so leaving home really) very soon.
Chic we tried that but it was being stupid
Thanks everyone
and, thanks again, jac. getting the le gave me the missing ea's
that will do it, Jac - my "baby" lives in Mexico
y/w, admad.
shdy - ((HUGS)).
I'm going to see her in August, as soon as summer school ends
My 'baby' has a boyfriend who lives locally. She's only an hour and a half down the road, she tells me. 'I'll be back all the time!' She will... maybe... at the start.
She doesn't realise the lure of Uni life ... yet.
anyone clues for s words?/// still need some
thanks everyone im of too nut this stupid thing out
Oh, she also doesn't realize yet how good Mom life is!
Her brother didn't teach her that because he went same distance but different Uni, and did a course that could be mostly done on-line, and didn't leave home either.
Her Brother always knew how good Mom Life is... but he's 23 now! AArgh!
I work at Uni, see/talk to lots of kids who love going home whenever they can
shdy - In reality, she does know. She spent 3 years away from home in a hospital.
can you be more specific ann? as to what you need
Ouch, she's OK now, though?
I'm glad to see her getting on with life, but kinda sad because we were robbed of the years betweebn about 13 - 16/17.
se5/18 add armed conflict word
she'll be stronger for it, though
se5/18 add word meaning pale
then plural
shdy - she is. Wish I was!
lots and lots of s words!
any clues mates????/
I bet you are, jac
just gave you 3
clues for what, ann?
s words
sl5,6 frozen rain, plural
thanks for clues.
fireworks!
yay, snowy!
congrats snowy
Congrats, snowygal!
congrats snowy
I'm off to do a round of 6 of Weboggle as Team Babble now, I think.
ann, are you using the list yet?
see ya, jacula, no sadness allowed!
sn5,6 to growl or tangle in a knot
Ah, but it is allowed in this great community, shdy.
true, jac, just trying to be cheery
what list? lickety?
yes, ann, very helpful
well it is a pain to go back and forth. i have 103 words without it in an hour so we will see. i am getting better and want to become good without lickety. maybe to finish i will need lickety.....
Give up re Weboggle. Not awake enough.
that was quick, jac! lol
Doesn't take long to sweep the Boggle board, shdy.
on lickety, e-mail him for browser, no switching
Or not... as the case may be. LOL
get the tired thing though, what time is it there? I'm on babble time
5:20am here.
oh, that's when I'm usually finishing "tomorrow"s puzzle!
Time to change my icon for later.
ooooh, changing icons - haven't had time to do that since summer school started **jealous**
It's not that time-consuming, shdy. Mine's done.
i always have to search, though
slightly ocd
***otherwise known as neurotic!
I 'have to' search, too, but today's themewasn't dificult.
oh, geez, can't even think about a theme, it's all I can do to find something that expresses me and I'll keep for a few months!
As a victim of 4 house floods and one near miss, plus my flood insurance being taken from me... the rain is an easy icon to do.
hello
No, shdy - the themes are set or suggested in Babbler's handbag.
Hiya, harp.
yes, it would be, sounds almost like you live near me!
hi harp
i know they're set, but it would take me all day to decide on the "perfect" image
le6?
shdy- sounds to me like you need to step back and listen to your instinct.
pl le 5/10?
le6 is a daft plural of the lesser le5, Harp.
**instinct stifled by never-ending thoughts - i.e. brain running off on tangents
thanks jac, thought I tried that
My brain does that all the time, shdy, but I sit down on it with my great big womanly ar4/4 and tell it to 'Shut Up!' or words to that effect.
y/w, Harp.
lmao, jac, well put
done!
I do that all the time. In fact, I KNOW I typed a word or two correctly into today's annd they were rejected first time.
Well done, harp!
i'd blame it on Lickety if he weren't so gosh-darned helpful!
Congrats, harp!
Somebody help me with the wa6,30 so I can go to bed, plz
cant get dr 7/48
I can't blame it on Lickety, as I don't take advantage of his charms. However, poor Lickety! A man can't do right for doing wrong! LOL.
wa: armed battle + now I lay me down to ***ep
wa6/30 = battles like WW! & 2 & Vietnam, for instance + French masculine form.
thans shdybr, but what does it mean? never heard of it.
i like him, he has simplified my addiction to something manageable
thanks shdy. thought i had tried that one.
dr7 is plural of dr6/33
FIREWORKS

dr7/48 - plural of dr6/33 the person who gets money from the cheque (check) written.
Congrats, admad
le 7/48 please
Well done, admad.

le and then the word for a kid without parents: who is in charg of him? he is a **** of the state.
