no, never do that jilli - never see those hands again

2:50 am

shouldn't be, flosey. had a day off today, and the most i did was the grocery shopping!

2:50 am

but there was a mistake on one of the score sheets that Joan will prob. call some about

2:50 am

tardis! yay!

2:50 am

so many players initial it without looking

2:52 am

so right -- and enter stuff without thinking

2:53 am

yup - game score on wrong side !!

2:53 am

well, I'm off to zzzzzzzzzz *poof*

but we have to follow up and find out who did what

2:55 am

lol, flosey,sounds as much fun as i have, trying to audit the drug register.

2:57 am

lol rmcc they're anxious to get on with the next game, the opponents are supposed to initial that the score, as written, is correct

2:57 am

let me guess, the opponents aren't winning!

3:33 am

Thanks Rabble. I was looking at the wrong sp!

3:56 am

Good evening everyone. Cliffy - you're new? - welcome

.bye everyone

4:02 am

Good morning/evening all.

4:03 am

Hello Haz....its nice to see a friendly face

4:03 am

Hello lynxxx - I've not been here for too long but the grid looks inviting! How are you?

4:04 am

Slightly wound up after the day, so looking forward to a nice relaxing grid. Yourself?

4:04 am

Back again.........just heard that cricket is off today.......more time to babble.

4:05 am

I'm fine, thanks - at the other end of the day, so not stressed yet. Is work still being a pain?

4:05 am

Good morning Frances!

4:05 am

Hi Frances

4:06 am

Hello Haz and lyn from a very wet Essex.

4:07 am

Haz...slightly - but only 2.5 weeks to go till I finish/retire (well, from that job anyway - might see if a can get a few days a month somewhere else)

4:07 am

There's talk of an Indian summer, but I wonder if they're just saying that to keep our spirits up.

4:08 am

Well, lynxx, at least the end is in sight with regards to the job. I know it has been a burden for you.

4:08 am

Any type of summer would be most welcome.

4:09 am

So with all this rain in G.B. - does ths mean your 'drought' has been broken?

4:10 am

We never had a drought in our area, but I imagine any attempt to restrict water in England would be met with hollow, disbelieving laughter. Unless all that water was the wrong sort.

4:10 am

We had lots of floods recently. So, I've been waiting for the annual hose pipe ban to be announced!

4:11 am

hello everyone.... guess what !!!...I just found an 8 all by myself, now this may not figure greatly in your babble lives, but in mine it is a cause for a little excitement !!

4:11 am

I think I have been confused...

4:11 am

Great Karys

4:11 am

Well done Karys!

4:11 am

Go Karys!!!

4:12 am

hooray Karys!!

4:12 am

thank you all..... *bowing nicely*

4:13 am

back soon. Imps bed time

4:13 am

and a story ...sunny ?

4:14 am

yes and a story :) Hairy Maclary tonight

4:14 am

ooo....a favourite !

4:14 am

From Donaldson's Dairy?

4:15 am

an oldie but a goldie

4:15 am

It's great. All those dogs.

4:16 am

I sent a package of books to Roger's grandson in Australia for his first birthday, and that was one of them. The Very Hungry Caterpiller was another, and Gowing on a Bear Hunt.

4:16 am

Going... might be better.

4:17 am

I loved the Jolly Postman series by Janet and Allen Ahlberg with the little letters included.

4:17 am

and, did anyone else do Elmer the Patchwork Elephant ?

4:17 am

They're more suitable for older children, though (and adults!)

4:18 am

I don't know that one Haz.

4:18 am

The Very Hungry Caterpillar was my daughters favorite (cause grandma read it to her) along with Are You My Mother? (my fav)

4:18 am

They're lovely, Karys, the postman carries letters supposedly from nursery rhyme characters.

4:18 am

Susannah still has ( and won't let go of ) a book called I'e Forgotten Edward.

4:19 am

I will have to look out for those then, for one of the other grandsons.

4:19 am

Was the teddy bear left behind?

4:19 am

Yes lyn, our's liked Are you my Mother too.

4:20 am

Yes Haz, and all the places they had to go before they got home to get him !

4:21 am

But they got him in the end? (Fingers crossed for a happy ending)

4:22 am

I really enjoyed reading to all of mine, and it seem to be something they all remember fondly. Of course they did, there he was, waiting patiently !!

4:23 am

Good for Edward! I know, I remember reading to my two as well and loving the time when you could leave out a word or phrase and they could fill in the gaps.

4:24 am

LOL....yes , that and the expectation on there faces of what was to come.

4:25 am

My younger daughter confused me one day when we were out for a walk, she in the pushchair, the older one walking alongside. 'Sing kwite an tewwy!'

4:25 am

Not fair - Karys has grandchildren!

4:25 am

Translation Haz?

4:26 am

I had to ask again - 'Sing what?' - 'Sing kwite an tewwy' this time more insistently. I hadn't a clue what she meant until the older daughter explained. 'She wants you to sing Mary Mary quite contrary'

4:26 am

LOL...LOL

4:26 am

awww

4:26 am

So we did!

4:26 am

I do Lyn, but all boys up til now !

4:28 am

Baby boys give more cuddles - so no loss (preparing for backlash on that comment)

4:28 am

I DO happen to like boys....( don't tell anyone )

4:29 am

4:35 am

Colhad - I sp5.12 all my money and now I am broke

4:35 am

4:41 am

Thanks for the clues, so far, I'm at 73 words (hey, I just got my tea!)

4:41 am

Is it a pretty morning JBs?

4:41 am

But Haz, the through a hedge backwards look so suits you!

4:42 am

LOL....did mine earlier ! Had it all cut off a couple of weeks agao.

4:42 am

thanks lynxxx

4:42 am

Looks like it's going to be a perfect summer day, FM, but I can only enjoy it while waiting for the bus!

4:42 am

4:43 am

Yay for Colhad !!!! Say Colhad did you get babble Expert from Lickety? if not you should email him and ask for it

4:44 am

nope, whats that??

4:44 am

Does anyone else see 'splat' in this grid? (mmm, this is some tea! -english breakfast for those who want to know-)

4:44 am

Its like an overlay that he has written...you get the clue list and Babble on one screen. Can update similtaneosly.

4:44 am

*seeing words that aren't really there*

4:45 am

ahh that'd be handy

4:45 am

I will email lickety

4:46 am

Colhad - it's more than excellent, many features

4:46 am

what is lickety's email?

4:46 am

unless you are a Mac user and then it's not compatible.

4:47 am

ohh :(

4:47 am

Its on his Clue List page - over to the right

4:47 am

Ahh can't go wrong with that tea JBs, I'm drinking green tea and peppermint leaf.

4:47 am

I use Winblows

4:48 am

Hedge through backwards look averted for now.

4:48 am

then you'll be find colhad. :-)

4:48 am

I'm going to the hairdresser this afternoon, so one has to make an effort.

4:48 am

Such a relief Haz LOL

4:48 am

Oh for heavens sake, that is like cleaning before the cleaning lady arrives.

4:49 am

I've tried 4 times to get lickety's Babble Browser to work, but when I open it on my computer, nothing happens, just a couple of blank columns

4:49 am

Yeah, but we all do it don't we!

4:49 am

Well, yes, wouldn't you?

4:49 am

Haz, you look maaahhhhvelous!

4:49 am

lol, i do too

good morning all

4:50 am

hi greenbay!

4:50 am

I'd be too embarrased, my skirting boards and, er, rather dusty.

4:50 am

Thank you JB - more help needed all the time!

4:50 am

Okay, FranMag, you look maahhhvleous too!

4:50 am

I don't, I just go as I am !

4:50 am

Hi Greenbay

4:50 am

Me too Mitch...I was just thinking I wouldn't dare have a cleaning lady.

Hey everyone - just dropping by. I saw someone finish this grid after just one hour - I think it's not too harsh

4:51 am

Hi greenbay

4:51 am

Hello lickety!

4:51 am

Hello lickety

4:51 am

LOL thats easy for you to say lickety as you don't play!!

4:51 am

hi lickety! if you mean drbernardo, he's just not normal. :-)

4:52 am

Hi Lickety - thanks for that piece of information - hardly encouragement though!

Hehehhehe - true. I think its was ABEs

Oh lynxxx - you finish every one - I'm sure of it!

4:52 am

This is the first time I've realised that it could be Dr Bernardo, I just always saw the letters as a jumble before.

4:52 am

How is our Star Soccer Player?

hi franmag. just to let you know, i use lickety's page on a mac all the time!

4:53 am

Hi, lickety!

4:53 am

haz, i just call him doc, always assumed it was dr bernardo

4:53 am

hi Lickety, I've been told about Babble Expert, I just sent you an email

4:54 am

i use lickety's page also cycling, but the babble expert he sends out if you ask doesn't work on Mac

4:54 am

It makes sense - all the capitals run together don't make for easy deciphering.

cool colhad - hope you love it - will reply now

4:54 am

Oh, lickety, can you tell my why I get blank columns when I open the browser? I have Windows XP

oh lynxxx - soccer - We won again on the weekend - and I got man of the match 2 weeks in a row! I can't believe it - I didn't play that well

JBs - try this : Run windows Updates, fire up IE - see what it does. Check firewall settings.

4:55 am

You've heard that Rooney is injured AGAIN? England may find some English blood in you Lickety, and call you up.

4:55 am

All hail the bright star in the firmament tee hee Well done lickety

4:56 am

wtg lickety!

4:56 am

Too modest Lickety! or otherwise everyone is goddam awful which would be highly unlikely ....Yay for our Man!

colhad - check email

4:56 am

Thanks, lickety, I'll try that and let you know!

4:56 am

ty Lickety :)

Oh Haz - I'm not that good - Geez - Over35's and Division 4 - and Reserve team too!

4:57 am

Sounds about right for England.

4:57 am

(Ducking for cover)

4:57 am

Hmm, do we have a budding Beckham? (who, btw, didn't play much his first game!)

4:57 am

Lickety - do the kids you coach play as well? how have they fared?

4:57 am

yes, but he took his shirt off which is all that matters JBs. :-)

4:58 am

Nothing wrong with reserve teams lickety. We have 55+ in our league that I broduce the weekly bulletin for.

4:58 am

Please note Haz still looks good while ducking for cover ;)

Yeah I coach 8 year olds - This year the 4th team - mixed girls and boys. So far 9 wins 4 losses - so not too bad

4:58 am

All those tattoos though...

4:58 am

On Beckham, not me.

4:58 am

Tattoos, shmattoos. You should see Allen Iverson's!

4:58 am

Oh - he's gorgeous - until he opens his mouth

4:58 am

cool, got Babble Expert running

4:59 am

true lynxxx

4:59 am

It's a big let-down, you know, lynxxx, you know.

colhad - Lickety Add is the good part - and use it to add to this chat too

4:59 am

Thats good Lickety...more than enough to keep them motivated - well done on that front too!

one word goes to grid, more than one goes to chat etc. You can try options - thin box - after size and moving it - Don't be afraid to make it really small.

Thanks lynxxx - it's been tough this year - 11 kids rather than 7.

and some of them are really co-ordination challenged

5:00 am

Two left feet?

5:00 am

hello lickety

5:01 am

using Lickety add

cool colhad - grid words go to both clues and grid. Move the yellow bars to get the right spacing - or hit the middle to hide clues etc. Try all the options

5:02 am

and we forgot to tell you about the extra Fireworks too Colhad

5:02 am

You'll have to wait until another day to test out the wonderment of the send words to clues feature, Colhad.

oh yeah - the video fireworks ;-)

You finished todays grid Colhad?

5:02 am

ahh, always tomorrow ;)

5:03 am

Good morning everyone. FRANMAG, good to see you -- I just finished checking on Flossie and told my husband you live on the big island. Are you prepared?

5:03 am

hi ch! i'm actually on Oahu and we're fine right now

5:03 am

Of course, I'm sure you are :)

5:03 am

He has Lickety

5:03 am

Oh! For some reason I had you in Hilo ... now I remember, Pearl City?

5:04 am

it's not tracking to hit us, but we have our water, MREs and canned goods standing by. :-)

5:04 am

ohh yeh, saw a fireworks display not long before you came in Licktey

lynxxx - he has all the history to check out (fireworks history)

5:04 am

Lickety

5:04 am

well, we moved at the end of July. we're now in Kapolei, which reminds me, i should update my profile.

5:04 am

Good. We'll be thinking good thoughts for all concerned.

Colhad - did you get the fireworks video then when you started it?

Hit Refresh Babble if you didn't

5:05 am

nope

5:05 am

Fran is this a hurricane heading your way?

5:05 am

there's a new babbler that's on the Big Island, everyone think send good vibes for her.

5:06 am

it's hitting the Big Island (Hawaii) tonight, but weakening and shouldn't be a problem for us (cross your fingers)

5:06 am

May you ALL be safe!

5:06 am

thinking of you Fran :)

5:06 am

coming from Guam though, i've experienced enough erratic storms to know that anything can happen.

5:06 am

Ditto what lynxxx said and everything is crossed even though it makes typing rather hard :)

5:07 am

It looks massive on the radar in relationship to the size of the islands, but all hurricanes do.

5:07 am

lol FM! thanks. :-)

5:07 am

BBS organising some dinner

5:08 am

we finally got some rain this evening and the wind has picked up a little, but nothing severe.

5:08 am

Time to go, catching the bus in 30 minutes. Good to play with you all this morning, and safe harbor to island friends! Back later this evening!

5:08 am

See you later JB, have a good day.

5:09 am

Thank you everyone for the positive thoughts. i'll see you all tomorrow as long as Flossie cooperates. :-)

5:09 am

bye JBs

5:09 am

night JBs!

5:09 am

bye JB !

5:10 am

Can I rack the brains of the chefs and chefesses please?

5:10 am

Do I qualify?

5:11 am

For sure

5:11 am

But of course....top of my list Haz !

5:11 am

No pressure, then.

5:12 am

Nods off whilst waiting for the question.

5:12 am

Wake up!

5:12 am

I have some pork chops and some shop bought stuffing, cranberry and spiced orange, I thought I would like to top the chops with it and am trying to think of something to caot the chops with first, any ideas ?

5:13 am

Wwh what! where, oops sorry, hope I wasn't snoring

5:13 am

Listen here.... I am having trouble with washed hands again today !

5:13 am

Think layer of mustard

5:14 am

I do a pork dish with crushed coriander and ginger, topped with chunky orange marmalade.

5:14 am

Now thats a good idea....why didn't I think of that !!

5:14 am

*thin

5:14 am

try marinating the chops in a little cran juice and frying with a layer of wholegrain mustard on top

5:14 am

Mind you, that's over a loin of pork, rather than an individual chop.

5:14 am

It wont let me add my words!

5:15 am

Yum, Haz and sunny

5:15 am

mmmm Haz! Pork and marmalade! I'll have to try that.

5:15 am

It is tasty - the whole loin is roasted/steamed in chicken stock and orange juice.

5:15 am

why wont it work???

5:16 am

I think I might try the mustard idea, with some wholegrain, spread very thinly first, then the dry stuffing mix. They should be ok in the oven shouldn't they ?

5:16 am

why wont it work???

5:16 am

Don't know Xan, sorry.

5:17 am

I like the sound of your recipe Haz.

5:17 am

Xanika, try hitting the add button rather than enter, and if that doesn't work, refresh :)

5:17 am

They should be fine, Karys, keep an eye on them or wrap in foil parcels to begin with?

5:18 am

It's really easy, Karys, and the good thing is that the liquid stops the pork from drying out.

5:18 am

Does the stuffing mix not need a drop or two of water?

5:18 am

That might be nice, and just open them for the last little while.

5:18 am

Woohoo we are all of to Karys's for dinner tonight then?

5:18 am

My mouth is watering already, Karys.

5:19 am

I will have to wait til I open it Mitch, then see, it just might need something.

5:19 am

I'll bring the steamed asparagus to go with :)

5:20 am

I just liked the sound of it, so I bought it, but not to stuff anything with, my lot wouldn't eat it that way !

5:20 am

and Haz can bring wone of her wonder deserts

5:20 am

I'll put the order in now.

5:20 am

or two or thwree :D

5:20 am

thought of all this food is playing havoc with my typing, it's the drool you know, not good for keyboards.

5:20 am

That would be nice Ch1212, I lay a place for you !

5:20 am

and buttery squash please..

5:21 am

aaah... don't do squash I'm afraid.

5:21 am

dowat

5:21 am

oops!

5:21 am

I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble with the keyboard this morning !

5:21 am

Do we want a nice Chardonay with dinner? Or Riesling?

5:21 am

I thought that was an Elmer Fudd version of drat!

5:22 am

Or sparkling grape for those who don't indulge

5:22 am

A nice dry Riesling please, the Chardonay's seem to be getting a little too creamy !

5:23 am

Excellent choice!

5:23 am

no wine for me, I'll have a single malt on ice.

5:23 am

Jumping stright in there then sunny !!

5:24 am

Hubby likes the Jameson's.

5:24 am

weeelllll I can share :)

5:26 am

good evening everyone

5:26 am

My beloved just looked over my shoulder and said he would prefer a Highland scotch :D

5:26 am

hello ardilla

5:26 am

good evening ardilla

5:27 am

ch1212, this one won't drink scotch !

5:27 am

Hello ardilla.

5:27 am

hey ardilla

5:28 am

well, you and I can stick with the Riesling. Hello ardilla

5:28 am

5:28 am

Oh the South Coast are holding a celebration for all babblers - the Annual Firework Champtionships are being held (yesterday and today) at Plymouth.

5:28 am

Yes, Karys, io6 and io7 - add a word that can be a fruit, or a night out.

5:29 am

6:10 am

The me****ery is the tissue that connects the intestines--a curtain like tissue with blood vessels etc within it.

6:11 am

Is that like a filter between the large and small intestine?

6:11 am

Isn't it like a sac scrabs?

dictionary.com defines it as midgut

6:13 am

6:31 am

well thanks Carlee. a better week this week for you?

6:31 am

ok.. i guess your at work when its flip time!

6:32 am

ummm...so far..so good... thanks... but its only tuesday so far...

6:33 am

Pink. yeah - for a few more weeks anyway. Not that I am crazy about starting at the flip anyway, its a bit too competitive for me

6:33 am

with the last few weeks I am afraid I am still looking back over my shoulder and waiting to hear other shoe to drop...if you know what I mean

6:35 am

Carlee - I understand but I am sure you've had your share now - and don't let 'it' keep a good (wo)man down

6:35 am

flip is competitive, you changing jobs lynxxx?..who's been upsetting our cheerleader carlee??

6:36 am

may I please have clues for the 8's

6:36 am

retiring Pink

6:36 am

just some teenage angst and some deperate housewives action in our neighbourhood pink

6:36 am

wa8/65 - those who don't like dry land

6:37 am

WOW... retiring? what will you do with ALL Your time lynxx

6:37 am

Hi Peri - the only one I have is the wa8.65

6:37 am

thanks haz

6:37 am

st8/65 - those who keep others in order

6:37 am

thats nice lynxxx, do you have any plans? the neighbourhood scandals bringing you down carlee?

6:38 am

thanks lynxx and Haz, got the wa8

6:38 am

di8/45 - present tense form of di7/32. To give an unfortunate review to something?

6:38 am

well... when one of my so called friends decides to start flirting obviously with my husband to the point where the younger kids notice and are embarrassed....its a tad annoying pink

6:39 am

thanks Haz, got the di8 right off, great clue

6:39 am

still working on the st8

6:39 am

up side is...she is only embarrassing herself..but still its... unnerving

6:39 am

Good, glad it worked, peri.

6:39 am

Agree w. Peri there Haz - TY

6:39 am

OMG does this woman not have any shame !!

6:39 am

got the st8 too, Haz, thanks

6:39 am

apparently...no...she does not

6:39 am

You're welcome lynxxx. Glad to help, peri!

6:40 am

( what u need to know is...hubby dated her..and dumped her for me... now she married and has to fine kids..and moved into our neighbourhood..she and I have always gotten along... and our daughters are good friends..my city a SMALL town )

6:41 am

sorry...two fine kids ( coffee#1 still )

6:41 am

trashy!! you dont have anything to worry about on that front carlee, your husband left her for you.

6:42 am

found half, bbl

6:42 am

clue for the 9 plz

6:43 am

oh..i know..he was embarrassed too... its just..yes..trashy... and in order to keep the "neighbourhood" together... ( which her actions threatened to tear apart) my reaction..or rather lack of... is/was a bit of a tightrope

6:43 am

me9 - it's a greek plural, I think, referring to the midgut.

6:43 am

its still not nice, she obviously has no respect for you, your husband, your marriage or hers, the children or herself!!

6:43 am

me, four letters of dispatch in the past, finish with a three lettered period of time.

6:44 am

ty haz

6:44 am

You're welcome/

6:44 am

exactly my thought pink... which is too bad... her kids are good kids..and her husband although definitely not my type..is a very good and kind hearted man

6:46 am

TY Haz.

6:46 am

You're welcome, lynxxx.

6:47 am

some people just dont realise how lucky they are...she cant be happy in her marriage if she's "throwing herself" at your husband

6:49 am

Just a women with no self-confidence who needs the constant admiration of others to feel worthwhile. Really a bit of a sad case

6:49 am

no..I know she is not..and she is going through a difficult time herself...she had a severe underbite..or was it overbite..no..under...affected her "bite" and just had surgery to correct it ( this was the woman I threw the "crunchy" party for ) and her appearence has significantly changed... and we all know how we feel when we get a pimple on the end of our nose...to us it is a huge red blotch covering our entire face..but to others is nothing....

6:50 am

so am sure..with low self esteem and a drastic change in appearance... she is going through a great deal of inner turmoil

6:50 am

not an excuse...but a motive at least

6:50 am

Maybe it wasn't her at all. An interloper?

6:51 am

Carlee - you are amazingly kind and caring - no wonder you are cherished by your husband

6:52 am

her husband is loyal to nth degree... there are other issues... hahaha...not so cherished..maybe tollerated lynxx... HAHAHA..thanks for the laugh...

6:52 am

he loves me every other day :D HAHAHAHA

6:53 am

I don't retract a word!

6:54 am

its sounds as if her confidence was knocked really hard but i agree with lynxxx. i know what she has been doing is wrong and i do not support those of things, but try to understand where she's coming from at the same time. she is in low place at the moment

6:54 am

thanks lynxx... I guess you would have to know my husband... cherish..i doubt is even in his vocabulary...

6:55 am

double dare you to ask him...

6:56 am

exactly pink... i know her whole history... and to maintain the peace...am just trying to fly low under the radar...and not get my knickers too knotty..sorry to vent here... but helps to keep it all in check elsewhere

6:56 am

ok lynxx I will...

6:56 am

Lunch time, back later.

6:56 am

bye Haz. enjoy

6:56 am

later haz..sorry to go on about it

6:56 am

clue for second pe6/21 please? The one just before the annoying insect.

6:57 am

Guten Morgen, Babbler, not a bad grid. Got all but 31 after two passes. Now to go digging.

6:57 am

6:57 am

6:58 am

ch, add the doer ending to the anoying one

6:58 am

I am trying to finish this before my students come for German

6:58 am

That's the last pe6/21 I think, isn't it? I'm looking for the one right before the annoying one...

6:59 am

ch1212 - pe6/21 = Spanish coin.

6:59 am

spanish money coin I think, and hi all

6:59 am

hi inge...carlee we all need to speak to people who are not involved in the situations we find ourselves in, which is good because you'll get neutral advice!

7:00 am

yeah! Thanks, sprite!

7:00 am

sprite your in stealth mode!!

7:00 am

Hi and 'bye, all. Lunchtime. BBL

7:00 am

7:03 am

whats wrong sprite? 8hugs*

7:03 am

*hugs*

7:03 am

oh oh... Babble {{{{HUGS}}}} for sprite...

7:03 am

{{{quiet non-invasive hugs for Sprite}}}

7:04 am

( man..i think this site more therapy then puzzle at times...I always feel so sorry for goldies when he comes on when we doing this )

clue for pe 7/32 please

7:05 am

just on top of everything else wild accusations of my work that I am not really sick but working elsewhere secretly, and out of the blue a letter from an old insurance that we are 3 years behind in paying and that they have notified our morgage holder. I am panicked beyond control right now, babbling to try and stay 'here'. Can't really chat right now, sry. Thanks for the hugs and the warmth all.

7:05 am

daters

7:05 am

dater

7:06 am

i'm SO sorry sprite

7:06 am

as long as you have proof of payments to an insurance carrier...you are fine sprite...notify your mortgage company with notorized copies of your insurance and get ahold of documentation from your bank and all will be good

7:07 am

as for rumours.... what goes around comes around... like in the case of my neighbour... she the one hurting herself... it will come back to bite them on the bottom

7:07 am

Iam sorry to hear that sprite !! *gentle hug*

7:08 am

as far as I know that insurance was closed when we got our new morgage. It has all have to be looked into. I am scared. They never told us anything about still having to pay, it is the bank that stopped doing incassos or what it is called. Now they want 9000 euro before half september, out of the blue.

7:09 am

must be off everyone take care, i'll bbl to finish up!!

7:09 am

then make an appointment with the bank..

7:09 am

later pink...{{{hugs}}}

7:10 am

it will all get sorted out...its a computer data entry glitch... and you have 6 weeks to sort it all out

7:10 am

right now my husband is looking into it and making contact with some banks/instances. I am just in total panic.

7:10 am

bye pink

7:10 am

Phone your mortgage company first and find out what their situation.advice is. They are usually very approachable and willing to help where possible.

7:10 am

bye Pink

7:11 am

its just one of those computer age glitches that happens to annoy us... but in all likelihood will all be sorted out.... and end up being just alittle speed bump

7:12 am

you all have very good and sound advice and I know my husband is doing that right now. That's why I said I cannot really chat right now, I can't handle it. Am not yet well enough to, I guess, and what I need to do now is trying to come 'down' from panic city to the here and now. Babble should help. Thanks for caring *hug*

7:13 am

pe7.32 ends like the line in the song "They did the Mo***** Mash"

7:13 am

Sprite, save your energy and stop worrying now, big deep breaths. Only start worrying again when all avenues have been tried and failed.

already found it but nice clue

7:13 am

thanks FMitch, that's it. One sec at the time and deep breaths. *hug*

7:14 am

thanks for asking Biblio - I didn't

7:14 am

and some music... when I get freaked out I put on my favourite "get down and dance" music...and spin myself into a frenzy.... or immerse myself into a "craft" of somekind... to create

7:14 am

That's my girl! Calm and breathe and find those words (((sprite)))

happy to help ;)

7:16 am

Takes babble hat off and puts work hat back on.

7:16 am

good luck FMitch, at work *hug again*

7:18 am

I can feel in control when I babble... that is soothing ;)

7:19 am

there u go sprite...babble away

7:19 am

thnx carlee

7:21 am

{{{ hugs}}} for sprite

7:24 am

7:30 am

hi toad..and bye all time to get ready to scoot into work for a couple hours

7:31 am

7:35 am

Wow - just read Feathers blog - that is amazinging real

7:38 am

7:39 am

You might be pushing it Sprite

I'd like the n and one r to switch

7:40 am

lol Sprite - I just meant it is really good writing and I feel like I was there with them

7:40 am

oh lol, ok lynxxx. I should stay away from chatting, I am just too dense right now.

7:41 am

((HUGS)) sprite.xx

7:41 am

I'm back for a few more words.

7:42 am

thanks so much, Jac :) Hugging is GOOD.

7:42 am

you are never dense Sprite!

7:42 am

It is, sprite... unless someone has broken ribs or something.

7:43 am

owwww no, then better not. Though virtual hugs might help even then. Light virtual hugs.

is the x used anywhere? just curious

7:44 am

there aren't any dw words are there?

7:44 am

I have used it a couple of times

7:44 am

sprite - we're okay to hug since neither of us has broken ribs. LOL

7:44 am

hello

7:44 am

Hi, Liz.

7:44 am

I am glad, Jac :) Hi Liz

7:44 am

I've used the x in 4 words

7:44 am

hello everyone!

7:44 am

Hi Liz!

7:44 am

and I have no dw words so far

7:45 am

hi Annie

7:45 am

dwats - ty Sprite

7:45 am

{{{{sprite}}}} it will work out...have patience

7:46 am

I've used the 'x' in 4 words so far, too, and also found no 'dw's.

7:46 am

Hello AnnieB too!

7:46 am

Hi, Annie.

7:46 am

keepthinking of that one prayer.... Dear dear God, please grant me patience.... AND I WANT TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW!!!

7:46 am

7:46 am

TY T&T

7:47 am

7:47 am

good going Liz

7:47 am

:)

7:47 am

{{sprite}}} one day at a time, if need be, one hour at a day, you will get through this

7:47 am

47 left here. No list used... yet.

7:48 am

*one hour at a time*, I meant

7:48 am

,

7:48 am

Oh I have just realised I am nearly at my 75% (listless) - can't seem to get through that barrier this week

7:48 am

I did it. Fireworks, less than two hours, good music so far in the video.

7:48 am

thanks Annie, I am trying to take it one word at a time and with the company of you guys (okay, and 2 seresta) I start feeling like I am coming back from panic city a little.

7:48 am

woot inge

wtg inge!

7:49 am

Well done, inge.

7:49 am

congrats inge!!!

7:49 am

Congrats Inge

7:49 am

did all but 32 without the list. This is an easy one I say, or I am in top form

think positively... you are in top form Inge

why isn't warsh a word.. that how my parents say "wash"

7:56 am

I want 'prawn' but the n's in the wrong place.

okay now I am confused. I just found aw4.8 but when I click the ? mark to see the definition, dictionary.com said it is not a word!

7:57 am

Prawns? Where! Yum! hi :)

7:57 am

aw4/8 is a Scottish adverb meaning 'awhile'.

oooooooooooooh ok

7:58 am

hey Ata

7:58 am

Hi, Ata. No prawns in the grid... the end's in the wrong place.

7:59 am

No 'earwax' either, though I keep seeing it. LOL

the "r" and "m" need to switch, I want an exam

7:59 am

ewww

7:59 am

the ? does not cover all words that enable accepts. You can check on other sites though.

8:00 am

I like infoplease.com a lot

8:00 am

Prawns warshed in earwax. YUM! (Not)

8:00 am

Ata, my survivor is dead again :( Made a new one, but now a necro.

8:00 am

HAve some praw instead - same as prawns but without a tail ending *grin*

hahaha jacula

8:01 am

LOL, FMitch. Hi.

8:01 am

OK Jac is being too revolting! I'm going (well I need to put out rubbish bins - back in a bit)

8:01 am

http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/658 72/detail/

8:02 am

much much funniness

I keep seeing Dear

8:02 am

awwwwww what killed him this time?

8:02 am

Afternoon Jacs and Ata (not really here)

8:02 am

Lynxxx - Have fun! Can you put my bins and recycling boxes out,too, please? It's raining here.

8:03 am

sweet, Ata

8:04 am

a bug in the game, apparently. I went into a fight, max health, one sec later he was dead.

8:04 am

sandstorm!

back later. husband is set to leave in a couple of hours... gotta go spend time with him

8:05 am

have fun T&T

8:05 am

Send our good wishes with him T&T

8:05 am

bye tt

clue for me 4/6

8:05 am

no sandstorm, no boss even, just siege fire. But siege fire needs at least 3 blasts to flatten a lvl 20. Ah well, a bug - I was not born for luck anyway! You will love my necro though.

8:06 am

Ata - Yuk! Just watched the video.

8:06 am

lol great way to break up a cat fight though!

8:06 am

I thought it was going to be a projectile vomit. LOL

8:06 am

it is kinda sweet, the video... but I could have done without da milk!

8:06 am

that would have been just even better!

8:07 am

...and on that unsavoury note I shall away to do my daughter's ironing and catch up on some recorded tv programmes.

8:07 am

you must be about the bestest mum ever, Jac!

8:07 am

lol have fun Jac

8:07 am

hi lynxxx! and yay for sprite and angel!

sorry sprite i never save the links for the videos

8:17 am

sprite, i think they all eventually get posted here: http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /fireworkshistory

8:18 am

well, maybe someday I'll get some pictures and figure out how to post them, and sit down to babble anonymous (was suggested the other night, but haven't tried yet) suffice it to say now that I think it was everything I wanted (except the 50 degree weather in Paris friday and saturday) (and the rain the last two days of the barge) but the food.... ooh la la! et du vin! (i am now in love with lugagnac.. thinking i could buy it here i didn't get any and now can't find it here)

une that link doesnt work

8:21 am

Nono make sure you copy and paste both lines, babble doesn't see it as one continuous entry.

8:21 am

8:42 am

lol sprite... and i need one to come organize mine!

8:42 am

they should be for hire!

Good morning! Can I get a little help with the me9? Is it a compound word?

8:43 am

it is not, and it is a little weird one

Thanks, sprite.

8:44 am

me9/60: me + past tense of dispatch + a long period of time.

8:44 am

thanks sprite. (an anatomical word, i think(

8:45 am

definitely, Dorens

that me 9 is a very strange word

8:45 am

would mean middle of the guts?

8:45 am

yes, someone explained it earlier, some connecting tissue between intestines or something like that

8:45 am

yup, its connecting tissue

8:46 am

Excellent clue for the me9, GBL. Have no idea what it means!

8:46 am

midgut, I believe someone said.

8:46 am

Hmph. I was going to say it sounds like an Italian or Spanish dance.

8:47 am

Bassanova, Macarena, Tarantella, middle gut word, etc.

8:47 am

would work for me!

9:00 am

what do you call those sets of pencil & pe** that are given at high school graduations? I call them pe**ets. so why isn't that a word?

9:01 am

9:44 am

terlet...my husband's grandmother said terlet and I had no idea what she was saying until I had to use one

9:44 am

9:44 am

lol

AHAHAA tail-towel

10:01 am

hey, carlee :-)

10:01 am

bye xitry

10:01 am

hi unea

10:02 am

my ex is French and has never lost the accent living here but now has an occasional very weird Southern-Frenchism pop out of his mouth! LOL

10:03 am

my parents are both from england (outside london) but they have been over here for 40+ years... their accents are very americanized, but people definitely know theyre from england... but MAN, went we go back to visit the family, their accent kicks in FULL FORCE!

10:03 am

I didnt know that, Eva! You're English really! Yay!

10:04 am

exactly! :-) and no matter how hard I try, if/when I visit the Louisiana cousins that drawl creeps back in!

clue for sp 6/21

10:05 am

english by adoption, if that counts! my brother used to think that accents were genetic + the only reason WE didnt have an english accent was because we were adopted...heh

10:05 am

My husband is the same way. His parents are american, but he grew up in Germany. He didn't come back to the states until he was in high school. Then went in the army and they sent him bak to Germany. He speaks both like a native, except for certain words. It is really funny.

10:06 am

(a bit of trivia: my ex owns a hairstyling salon and personally goes to Al Gore's house to cut his hair . . . I assumed they'd have fascinating conversations but he says Al sleeps thru the whole thing -- LOL)

10:06 am

SP6/21 = SP5-6 combo -- jack SP5 could eat no fat...

10:06 am

sp6/21 plural of sp5/12

10:06 am

Eva, isn't it funny what we think when we are children

10:07 am

to this day, my brother swears he never thought that, but i distinctly remember the conversation!

ty gc..

10:08 am

ah, Eva, I'm very familiar with the filial selective memory! :-)

10:08 am

hi all - http://iusedtobelieve.com is fun for checking out (and submitting) cherished (wrong) childhood beliefs

10:10 am

thanks, dan!

10:10 am

My sister and I convinced my middle sister, who looked nothing like us, that she was adopted and we were having rinocherous meat and spuds for sunday dinner once. Well the spuds part was true! My sister and I got in so much trouble, because she wouldn't eat! She didn't care that she was adopted.

10:10 am

hi une and thanks for the clues

10:11 am

yw :-)

10:13 am

any clues for the me 9?

10:15 am

people always used to try to make fun of me + my brother by picking on us for being adopted. i clearly remember being on the playground in elementary school when someone said that...i just said "oh yeah? well my mommy and daddy PICKED me and yours just got STUCK with you!"

10:15 am

and my brother and i used to use it against each other...whenever i was mad at him, id say "mOOOOOOOOOOOOOOm!!! take him back -- you got a bad one!!"

10:16 am

good one evan, i can never think of stuff like that until later

10:16 am

hi eva, my older sisters are adopted. they say i'm the real one and Mom and Dad love me best. but i say the same as you, Mom and Dad picked you, they didn't expect me.

10:17 am

That is too good EvaN

10:18 am

Hi all!

10:20 am

hi Stid

10:20 am

12:41 pm

{{{dorens}}} haven't seen you in ages -- how are you and the princess?

12:42 pm

where does one find out the theme of the day?

12:42 pm

we are fine stid.... Just got back from ten days in france, barge trip in burgundy and then a few days in Paris. babble withdrawal!

12:42 pm

How are you stid, has anyone heard from fran and has feather had percy yet?

12:43 pm

tres avec, dorens! LOL that must have been lovely.

12:43 pm

we are fine and feather has the whole birth story up on her blog (baby was born sunday)

12:43 pm

and his real name is Nicholas Logan...

12:43 pm

any clues for st 5 (I have 4, I need 2 more)

12:44 pm

oh great, will have to check it. And the trip was more than lovely... i ate and drank great food and fine wine and they had to roll me off the plane :)

12:44 pm

my mother's first trip to france was barge trip on the seine, too, btw -- now when she goes it's for a whole month and she finds a nice place to stay for most of it.

12:44 pm

plantgirl, do you know which ST 5 you need? are you using the list?

12:44 pm

have you gone with her yet?

12:45 pm

no dorens, i am not a very good traveler with all my allergies. maybe someday.

12:45 pm

I didn't get to Paris until I was 50... and this was my fourth trip ( I love it inordinately!!)

12:45 pm

And the allergies may improve with age, you never know! keep hoping so

12:46 pm

:-) my mother always has such good tales to tell of the people and the food -- and brings back such nice pictures. I loved the ones she took a few years ago of the flamingos in the area near the mediterranean

12:46 pm

I have 5/10, 5/10, 5/10 and 5/12

12:47 pm

I think it's called the comarche?

12:47 pm

you need the two st 5/18

12:47 pm

they come at the end of all the ST, and the first is like dry grass

12:47 pm

I've not yet been to the south of france,... somethingn to look forward to. But barge travel is so nice... you get out and walk along the canal, or bike, and really get to see the countryside... which is beautiful. Such flowers. I don't know how they do it

12:47 pm

the second st 5/18 just changes the vowel

12:48 pm

you may also need st5/10 - cattle or direct a vehicle

12:48 pm

mother thinks it is the "laissez faire,' dorens -- they can't even tell her the names of the flowers! of course, when I try that method of gardening all I get are weeds...

12:49 pm

YAY!Two days in a row finishing re words on my own!

12:49 pm

thank stidmama

12:49 pm

I get weeds even when I don't laissez faire, stid

12:49 pm

well done Min! (I almost asked what you were doing home this time of day -- did you finally get some vacation?)

12:50 pm

rofl... ah, the gardening life, eh dorens?

12:50 pm

Yeah,summer school is over so i have some free time.

12:50 pm

Min,what do you teach?

12:51 pm

speaking of which, it is a lovely day and I should check on some of the areas of the garden. Going to head into town in a little and change cars with Tom so he has the air-conditioning in the evening.

12:51 pm

My garden did miss me, Stid... we had some major major thunderstorm activity here.

12:51 pm

ok.. bye stid. see you later

12:51 pm

Min -- are you going to post pics of your cottage one of these days? I am curious because I am sure my mental picture is not what it's really like!

12:52 pm

yes dorens, the weather has been so strange and nasty back there this summer. okay, see you all this evening/tomorrow!

12:52 pm

I teach English as a Second Language (ESL). I taught a reading program during the summer though.We go back to school after Labor Day. Not looking forward to it. Once I go back, Babble time will be very limited

12:53 pm

any clues for se 5 ( I have 5/10)

12:54 pm

we really need an esl teacher at my school// we have many mexicans, some albanians, bulgarians, macedonians, philipinos and our "esl" person somehow got certification, but it's really not her thing... she is a bsi teacher

12:54 pm

se 5/10 is plural of se 4/4 word & other se5/10 adds a vowel to I se 4/4 a letter in the mail plantgirl.

12:55 pm

the second pe6,21 please

12:55 pm

We have a good mixture at my school two.There are 2 ESL teachers at school including myself (big school)

12:56 pm

what grades? (mine is k - 8)

12:57 pm

My second pe6/21 is irritate.

12:57 pm

think that's the third.. i seem to be missing the second too

12:58 pm

My other pe6/21 is French think.

12:58 pm

that's my first

12:58 pm

Okay, then I can't help! =)

12:59 pm

me neither!

12:59 pm

my school is k-5 with 850 kids

12:59 pm

wow. mine is k - 8 with 450. much smaller classes

12:59 pm

thanks minveryork

our classes average 25; there are just 150 average to a grade level!

firework

1:00 pm

yay green

1:00 pm

Yay for greenbay!

1:01 pm

hey there fellow teachers is this our last babble spree before the ....

1:01 pm

don't say it onyx

1:01 pm

couldn't

1:01 pm

Congratulations greenbayladi on fireworks! Hooray!

heck no; I find time to play during the school day--recess and lunch!

1:01 pm

i love being able to sit down at any time during the day and babble a bit... instead of the frantic, frenetic pressure to do it all in the evening, when there's other stuff to do

1:02 pm

My school is pre-k to 5th grade. I think over 500 kids

1:02 pm

oh, our school computer blocks the site, which is just as well.... have my own office and would be tempted too much otherwise

our school used to block the site, however, the teacher I work for uses it as a reading/spelling game for class

1:02 pm

evenong all..can someone clue me the st8 pls?

1:03 pm

htey manage to keep us pretty busy. there is n't really free tme in high school

more of the st7

1:03 pm

I can't play Babble at school. My district has blocked any game website. I guess because of the kids or for Babble addicts like myself. I do get Lickety's list, so I use that at work sometimes. That site is not blocked

1:03 pm

those folks who help out on planes, and trains

1:03 pm

oooh i love hearing teachers complain about the work load....now im out of teeaching..lol

1:04 pm

mc, i hope no one ever unblocks it at my school

good luck finishing everyone.. Have a great afternoon

1:04 pm

oh no, min,, you shouldn't have told me!!!!

1:04 pm

thx dorens

1:04 pm

yw rolin

the only drawback is that they block the word lists so if you get stuck you are stuck until you get home

1:05 pm

i'm just afraid that my addiction is too strong... all these kids will be waiting outside my door needing help and i'll be babbling away!

1:05 pm

LOL Dorens!

we have kids that hang around our computers and help play.....have to shoo them back to work

1:06 pm

dorens..i used to love getting the detention room..cos id sit at the desk playing babble..while the kids just had to be wuiet..

1:07 pm

I keep two tabs open. One tab is Google and one tab is Babble so if anybody comes into my room I can hop over to Google quickly. Now how pathetic is that?!

the teacher and I help each other out; she plays on her computer, me on mine and then we share lists!

1:07 pm

my son's school had inadequete it ( read that unblocked computers) you should see the crap they get into!!!!

1:07 pm

oh i can just imagine that rolin

1:08 pm

my problem is that i'm the school counselor, self scheduling, and would feel so guilty babbling. somedays i check before leaving hte house and if i have a heavy evening planned and it's a big grid, i print it out and work on it during lunch

1:08 pm

but that's just not the same. i like playing on the computer

I don't chat much but like to see what all is going on elsewhere

1:09 pm

It's not the same using Lickety's either. At least it is something!Then I come home & enter into Babble site

I've got my husband hooked....if I can't finish I let him know and he does it for me

1:10 pm

withthe bulk/add.. does that mean if you enter it into lickety's, you can transfer easily when you get home, min?

1:10 pm

My husband won't go near Babble with a 10 foot pole!

mine wouldn't either at first....just sat back and watched the grid from across the room giving me words

1:11 pm

In fact, many times it's caused some arguments with us.My husband thinks I neglect other responsibilities

1:11 pm

sorry to have to leave... will be back later to finish my last nine (I KNOW i neglect other responsibilities, fortunately there's no husband here to mind tho)

Can anyone clue me for the 1st oa5/10 plz. I just can't get it.

there's no one at my house except the two of us; if he wants it done he does it.

1:12 pm

hello

1:12 pm

Don't know.Never have tried reverse.Good question!

1:12 pm

I've heard that before min. I work all day, come home and work til 9 or 10 then when i sit down to play i get crap,

1:12 pm

min, its psychologically soothing. it keeps you sane. (as well as driving you insnae)

my husband is surprised if he comes home and I'm not playing......asks if I'm done already!

sandie; don't know if it's the first but I have oa +number after nine

That's the one - ty mcurlschool.

1:23 pm

1:25 pm

I'm kinda hoping (in a not too awful way) that one day we'll just find her asleep if you know what I mean

1:25 pm

rather than a trip to the vets I mean

1:25 pm

yes, its so much easier that way

1:25 pm

2:46 pm

2:49 pm

lots of my words in this puzzle!

2:50 pm

one day I'm going to be a professional artist *said in a 10 year old voice*

2:50 pm

Me too, Ata! I just made a piece for a show in Louisiana...the first piece I've shown in decades!

2:51 pm

oh wow!!

2:51 pm

and I have an exhibition coming up in Oxford, my first one!

2:52 pm

Congrats!! Is that your work on the website in your bio?

2:52 pm

artlady, hope your piece for Louisiana isn't made of anything that can melt . . . jeez . . .

2:52 pm

yup :):)

2:53 pm

Thanks, Une! It isn't.

2:53 pm

Ata, my mother does Celtic scrolls for her SCA group.

2:53 pm

oh wow :D

2:54 pm

Ata you never said about the exhibition!?!?!?!

2:54 pm

got sidetracked with Atalante's photos. very nice!!

2:54 pm

t

2:54 pm

is a secret really! that just slipped out LOL

2:55 pm

Secret no longer! Be proud!

2:55 pm

You're a bad girl, when is it and for how long and everything.

2:55 pm

Yes, details!

2:55 pm

ra5/18 -- more uncooked

2:56 pm

ta 4/4 anyone?

2:56 pm

You make her tell us artlady!

2:56 pm

LOL well its only a kind of ... the Tolkien Society has their yearly conference in Oxford in September, and they invite lots of nice Tolkien artists to come and exhibit

2:56 pm

ta4/4 plural of the stuff on the road

2:56 pm

ta4/4--artsie town in NM

2:56 pm

how exciting!!

2:57 pm

which is why I have to draw this &&^%*(^%$ ship. I promised I would, for them. *sigh*

2:57 pm

got that one thanks ... do you have the other one?

2:57 pm

Can member of the general riff raff view too?

2:57 pm

That is great, ata. What is the ship supposed to represent? Where, who, etc?

2:57 pm

mom clued it, plantgirl

2:57 pm

thanks

2:58 pm

tado

2:58 pm

I think the general riff-raff can come in too, I'm not entirely sure though

2:59 pm

The ship is Vingilot, Earendil's ship in which he sailed to Valinor. Its a very tricksy ship because Tolkien never gives very stable descriptions! It can be sailed by 1 person. It can be sailed by a crew of 4. But it has oars! etc etc

2:59 pm

I could always carry your portfolio for you :)

3:00 pm

sounds good!

3:00 pm

Aaack, Ata! That's a challenge!

3:01 pm

oa6 please

3:01 pm

ata, here's a version from France: http://tinyurl.com/28nkfz

3:02 pm

oa6 plural of oa5/10 western films

3:02 pm

what kind of drawing - charcoal, colored pencils, graphite?

3:02 pm

Hello all - have had connection problems all day - but fireworks at last tx for good clues

3:02 pm

congrats, ursh!!

3:03 pm

ty

3:03 pm

aww I love the swans! there are lots of drawings of the stupid boat, but I dont think that any actually are very seaworthy lol

3:03 pm

:-D

3:03 pm

Hi Ursh and congrats

3:03 pm

um. it will probably end up as coloured pencil over watercolour

3:04 pm

Sounds good, Ata.

3:04 pm

i have a colored pencil how to book, but not very good at blending

3:05 pm

step 1) have lovely soft pencils otehrwise forget it!

3:05 pm

Google reed boats Ata and then add norse influences?

3:06 pm

You could get beautiful textures with the hull work and decorations

3:06 pm

ooooh reed boats, thats a good one. I've been googling "single sails" "one sail" "viking ships" etc etc etc etc etc

3:06 pm

have prismacolor brand

3:08 pm

oh yeah, prismacolors are nice for stuff like that

3:08 pm

Just emailing you one interesting bow shot from google Atta

3:08 pm

TYTY!

3:08 pm

They're nice, but too pricey for me to use with my students. We use the Crayolas, also soft.

3:10 pm

i need some lessons. maybe there's an adult ed class somewhere

3:10 pm

I use Caran d'Ache, but you dont tend to get them over there, I think?

3:10 pm

I LIKE that, FM!

3:11 pm

Oh, Ata, those are very nice. Yes, we can. I have... (have to check!)...

3:12 pm

There are 2 more on the way

3:12 pm

Derwent! Just got them recently.

3:13 pm

what age do you teach, artlady?

3:13 pm

oh they are lovely :D aren't pencils just wonderful these days!

3:14 pm

2nd thru 5th grade and university, deb.

3:16 pm

BRB must put kettle on

3:16 pm

strange question, artlady ... how long a lead do you recommend for coloured pencils for detailed work?

3:17 pm

I'm not very proficient with them, Ata. I find (in my limited experience) that if they're too long they break too easily. However, you are probably more knowledgeable than I in this area!

3:18 pm

That was my non-answer... ;-)

3:18 pm

LOL I do too, but I know extremely clever artists who have leads about 1/2 - 3/4" long. And I'd love to know how they cut them and stop them snapping!

3:19 pm

could I have a clue for the me9 please

3:19 pm

Yikes! I just have to keep re-sharpening them--I'm afraid to go that long!

3:19 pm

me too!

3:19 pm

I'm working on it too, katie

3:20 pm

3:20 pm

3:24 pm

thanks!

3:26 pm

how are the little fluff bundles, katie?

3:27 pm

They sure are cute!

3:32 pm

Sorry atalanta - I was lost in the grid. Crumble (the lighter one) is poorly again but she is good at taking her medicine, apart from that they are normal kittens, into everything they shouldn't be!

3:32 pm

third we5,18?

3:32 pm

awwwww what's wrong with the babe?

3:32 pm

what kind of med? i work in a small animal hospital pharmacy.

3:33 pm

debjed, the opposite of east with an extra vowel.

3:34 pm

She has a bladder infection which she gets from the older cats biscuits (obviously these have now been removed from the house) but it frightens me when she wees blood!

3:34 pm

'luck all. I have to go do some other work...bbl!

3:34 pm

The meds are an anti inflamitary

3:34 pm

bye artlady

3:35 pm

bye artlady!

3:35 pm

thanks for clue. hope kitten feels better. bye artlady

3:35 pm

ouch!

3:36 pm

oh, katie, have you got a pets@home nearby? they sell kitty cranberry treats that are specifically made for urinary infections

3:38 pm

Atalante, that's a great idea I will get some tomorrow, after all it works for humans :-)

3:39 pm

they seem to work for a cat I know who has chronic urinary infections, they've really helped her. you'll probably have to break the treats in two for a tiny kit, but hey

3:40 pm

Fireworks :-) I'd better go and cuddle my poorly kitty, thank you for your help, I'll let you know how she gets on.

3:40 pm

yay, give her cuddles for all of us

3:41 pm

Hah! My child goes off to do something useful just as I arrive! I've decided on a new tactic: don't look anything up. Less stress.

3:42 pm

good job katieW. kiss the kitty

3:42 pm

me thinks you're addicted, Erilar! I've seen you around far too much!

3:42 pm

Hi Erilar

3:43 pm

FM! THE DRESS has made its way onto youtube for worldwide amusement

3:43 pm

never said I wasn't becoming hooked. I've just decided I need more practice doing it without opening multiple windows that only further demonstrate my inablilty to read in zigzags.

3:45 pm

How funny, it was only a matter of time! Read in zigzags, ready anti clockwise and stand on your head. All kills you will acquire in babble land.

3:45 pm

3:45 pm

3:47 pm

6:55 pm

6:59 pm

Erilar, you raised her well. she learned over and above waht you taught her
