12:29 am

ty, blue

12:35 am

wow, my average word length right now is exactly 6!

12:35 am

why is it I can find over 100 words in less than 30 minutes now, but in smaller grids it takes me 2 hours to do that?

12:36 am

go corps!!

12:36 am

the words flow from each other better in a big grid.

12:36 am

or was that a rhetorical question jade? :-)

12:37 am

who needs rhetorical questions? :)

12:37 am

has anyone called co8/50

12:37 am

blue, i got an no8 from your no9. thanks!

12:38 am

i did earlier mrp

12:38 am

I've been playing this game too long! I just guessed and got the es8/9.

12:39 am

12:39 am

12:40 am

hello friends how many words do ya all got?

12:40 am

12:40 am

Possibly it has been in the grid before and it was buried deep in the brain cells!

12:40 am

518, Genna

12:41 am

have fun Fran!

12:41 am

and be8/50 is a blessing(s) from the be7/36

12:41 am

WOW! I guessed and got the bi10!!

12:42 am

I have 181

12:42 am

i don't suppose I could ask for the third letter in the bi10? Anyone? please? Heck. it is a 10-letter word. that would only be 30 percent of a clue. ; )

th8 - a musical instrumnet that sounds like the co6

think a three letter prefix corpsval

12:43 am

the is10 & bi10 are related!!!

12:43 am

em7 and em8 C29H40N2O4 (that is a clue!)

12:43 am

Berle is in here!

grey A

12:59 am

12:59 am

dont ask me why but I keep thinking assembly should be there lol

1:00 am

you'll see, sprite

1:00 am

hm, today's chat log? Or yesterday's?

big woop as my daughter would say

nother phantom: lissome

& casserole

1:02 am

grids like this one you just start adding suffixes to words and they work

1:03 am

today's, sprite -- 10:45 pm

1:03 am

jilli, can you help me out here? Today's chatlog starts at 12.00 and in yesterday's I don't see anything around that time

st 8/45

1:05 am

sprite, there must be something similar to this that applies to your situation: http://www.amhca.org/code/

1:05 am

jill, would that show up as 12:45 in the chatline

1:06 am

no scones???

1:06 am

hi all

1:06 am

hems

1:06 am

oops

1:07 am

just went back -- can't find it either in "today's" because it was before the flip, dang.

1:07 am

left column done, 250 words left

1:08 am

thanks BabbleRabble, I think there is

1:09 am

jilli... your post about Christiane Anampour ?

1:10 am

most therapists have to be licensed ... must be some governmental agency doing the regulating

1:10 am

no sprite -- I just went to the archive for yesterday but don't bother -- this is what I posted and thought would interest you: How's this for getting things in perspective? I'm privileged to have an 86-year-old WW2 heroine as a friend. She is Dutch - one of those people who secretly helped pilots get back to England. Her late husband pretended to be an SS officer but was eventually caught and put in a concentration camp, but survived. She is also an artist, photographer, brilliant duplicate bridge player and teacher, and avid reader of important books. She suddenly went blind two days ago and can only distinguish light from dark. When I spoke to her on the phone today she said "Oh, it's just another challenge." And if I know this wonderful lady, she will meet it and defeat it.

1:12 am

good eve all happy babbling and OMG lol i dont think ill get this one finished

1:12 am

Hi, Groovy!

1:12 am

too big for me bye all . Happy babbling.

1:13 am

hi and bye diem

promised myself to go to bed at 2 am EDT. laila tov all.

1:14 am

nite melon sweet dreams

1:14 am

bye, melon

1:16 am

Up to 300. That's enough fun for one night.

1:16 am

ohhh this is going to be a big lag nite lol b

1:17 am

wow, some lady, jilli! Reminds me of someone... let me think.... oh yes that would be you! Same kind of woman *hug*

1:17 am

probably drG is doing some work on the server again. That's wat caused that terrible lag the other day as well. Hopefully it will pass.

1:18 am

sprite -- that lady REALLY made a contribution and her attitude is so inspiring.

th 9 if not said before

1:20 am

I'm exhausted, physically and emotionally, and this grid is just too big for me so I think I'll take a break.

1:20 am

my grandparents gave shelter to a very wellknown resistance worker in WWII. It was always inspiring to me to hear them about those times and the choices they made.

1:21 am

But before I go I want to know how things went with your confrontation, sprite.

1:22 am

*hugs jilli* It went okay. I was able to keep strong and not let him talk me under the table, which is good.

1:23 am

Oh good for you. Did you get to talk to the other authorities?

1:24 am

I had to realise he is just a mediocre therapist, and I will continue to visit him for as long it is necessary for my employer... and reset my expectations towards him

1:24 am

and he makes for good training material in how to handle people that cannot really be reasoned with

1:25 am

wow sprite -- looks as if you gained some benefit from all this!

1:25 am

so I have decided to make the best of it, and not yet make waves at work with changing therapists... it is crazy enough as it is right now

1:26 am

You ARE strong, sprite!

1:26 am

yes, I think I did, jilli, at least inside... I feel like I took control, I feel stronger

good night all

1:27 am

thank you for asking and caring, jilli *hug*

1:27 am

night angelina

1:27 am

Morning, is this the biggest babble grid yet or what

2:16 am

It's awfully big. I feel quite foolish for starting this. 208 to go and I already feel like I've been through the wringer.

2:17 am

Hi, ren

2:17 am

hi ren and melissa, no, not the biggest at all, but indeed sizeable

2:17 am

just squeaked over the halfway mark, off to bed now

2:19 am

Quick visit today - 518!!! - not on a work day! Good luck to all of you trying it.

2:19 am

I am at work today so I am not sure I am even going to start this one. Why does this happen last saturday when I had time it was 58 words and now a biggie on a work day, it is so unfair

2:19 am

535

2:19 am

hi and bye JFB

2:19 am

2:19 am

4:37 am

*whispers softly: can I help with clues before I go?*

4:37 am

4:37 am

hi sprite!

4:37 am

hey Fran!

4:37 am

i heard everything went well yesterday.

4:38 am

sprite are you finished?

4:38 am

yes, it did :) I feel good about how I handled it... like an adult, lol.

4:38 am

I am, Andree

4:38 am

4:38 am

Whoo Hooo sprite!!!

4:38 am

yay for you

4:38 am

I am as well, Fran... but I am learning. Slowly, LOL.

4:39 am

can you clue the 2 y words please

4:39 am

Sprite! You never finished the grid? Reallly? WEll done!!!

4:39 am

used Lickety's list for the last 14 words though

4:39 am

the terrible snow monster and plural, Andree

4:39 am

just found them andree...abominable snowman

4:40 am

you used the list sprite? what hope do the re** of us have? :-)

4:40 am

sprite are you really finished??

4:40 am

heck ive been using the list for the last half hour lol

4:40 am

thx fran and sprite, did not look in that direstion!!

4:40 am

lol Fran... you will do fine, no problem

4:41 am

well, it really helps if you know 2st 2 letters, length and place in the list.

4:42 am

as i have decided on 1/2 way need not bother with list otherwise i will give in and try to finish, and i don't have that much time up my sleeve

4:43 am

there is this st7/32 that took me ages: the long part of a flower + male child.

4:44 am

thanks sprite! wonder what that means?

4:44 am

ooh, cool word, nautical

4:44 am

is that a real word??? TY Sprite

4:44 am

it is a curved timber in a wooden bow, scarfed at its lower end to the keel***.

4:45 am

sprite, that's a new K word we'll have to remember too!

4:45 am

stey

4:45 am

oops sorry

4:45 am

ty, sprite

4:45 am

thanks liz! :-)

4:45 am

also an So7-8 combo starting with the bottom of your shoe, followed by big ugly mouse with changed vowel (and plural)

4:45 am

oh lol Fran, yes... a 7 even. I might remember!

4:46 am

ohhh my fav brand of chocolate drink (hot) is in the list mi 4/5

4:46 am

thanks again sprite!

4:46 am

andree should know that one lol

4:47 am

right 180 down - time to go and get some packing done - imminent house move :(

hi all

4:47 am

see you later liz!

4:47 am

hi founder!

4:48 am

*waves to all*

4:48 am

bye liz and thx for clue sprite

geez, 518 words? trying to keep us busy tonight, lol

4:48 am

Bye, Liz

4:48 am

and then I had trouble with Si6-7 combo x 2, meaning strong, hot, sand-laden wind(s) of the Sahara and Arabian deserts. In 2 spellings, differing in the last letter. 2nd combo looks like Si*** says, but double the last vowel.

4:48 am

enjoy liz dont strain yourself you need to babble later lol

4:48 am

Hi, CsC

hi fran, jell

4:48 am

hi CsCde and bye Liz

4:48 am

good eve founder happy babbling misty

hi sprite

4:50 am

hate the mi word groovy, my youngest son would get more mi than milk in his glass then get a migraine, do you think he would believe that was causing it, aaagh

4:50 am

om6-7 combo is made with eggs

4:51 am

thanks for those SIs and OMs sprite!

4:51 am

my eldest eats it straight from the packet ugh lol

4:51 am

Thanks again, sprite

4:52 am

another bad one for me was mo6/27 - 7/40 combo. Start with the animal that digs underground and ruins your grass. Double first vowel. Add the question vowel to the end and pluralise.

4:52 am

right now i'm trying everything that even remotely sounds like a word. :-)

4:52 am

that is a basic babble tactic, LOL Fran!

4:52 am

me too fran

4:52 am

and not so remotely too

4:52 am

gm every1 - 518 words - ohhhhhh goooody

95 total M words? that makes up for more than half the entire word list from yesterday, i believe, lol

4:53 am

lol, true CsCde

4:53 am

hi anawalt

4:53 am

thanks for those MOs, i had the ones on each side

4:53 am

good!

4:54 am

dont worry founder it gets better lol

4:55 am

my phantoms are words ending in try!! like the 10-letter words with different ending.

4:55 am

and probably been clued already, the mi8-9 combo. Starts with the distance (going the extra mi**). Then Spanish for yes. Then first 2 or 3) letters of the green soft stuff that grows under trees in forests.

4:56 am

what cool words! thanks again spritey!

4:57 am

ty, sprite!

4:57 am

sounds like the italian? word for wonderful

4:57 am

me8-9 combo: what I say when talking about myself + this way + ****thing is happening. Plus plural.

ecole/s should work, but doesn't...have used it in other word games

4:58 am

I think enable does not want to go to school, CsCde

4:59 am

easy for all of you, but a tough one for me was Lo5-6 combo, short for lieutenant of the armed forces and plural. The vowelly babblet.

5:01 am

thanks sprite!

5:02 am

Tradename of ExxonMobile + modern spelling of opposite of day, plus plural, makes Es8-9 combo

5:03 am

keep it coming sprite! i'm almost to 200. :-)

5:03 am

the 8 of last one rhyming with Fe7/40: what you do with emotions but drop one vowel + what babble is (a web****)

i don't have a single letter grayed out yet, lol

5:04 am

i have the Y grey founder! :-)

5:04 am

yay Fran!

i do too, now

5:05 am

woo hoo!

phantom: nominee/s

5:05 am

ca7/32 the judge says "the ca** is closed" + last 3 letters of protruding thing in your face. And yay CsCde!

5:06 am

Gotta go. Thanks for all the clues.

5:06 am

be7-8 combo like the meat of deer and grouses and such, but starting B. Plus plural.

5:06 am

bye Jellen!

5:06 am

night jellen!

5:06 am

mine was casserole, CsCde. Drove me bananas.

nite jell, take care

5:07 am

Hate to leave all these clues, lol

5:07 am

im still here somewhere in limbo lol

5:07 am

nite jellen sweet dreams

5:07 am

ok, those were the words that really gave me hell. Any more requests before I go? Jellen, they will be in the chat later on as well :)

that's a good phantom find, sprite

5:08 am

it was cruel, lol

5:08 am

I know, but there's nothing like being in the moment

5:08 am

*hugs Jellen*

5:08 am

Really going. *poof*

5:09 am

those clues were great sprite! thank you so much.

5:09 am

5:12 am

bye sprite, thank you so much

5:13 am

I think so, FM! I hope my day doesn't turn into an episode...

5:14 am

if it does, it will be one where you get sucked into a giant puzzle grid on a computer and can't escape.

5:15 am

TRON!!!

5:15 am

you know i've never seen that one.

5:16 am

It's a distinct possibility, FM, because it's my b-day today, and *that* alone opens the magical doors

5:16 am

:-)

5:16 am

Tron's a fun movie, especially considering all the tech advances made since it came out

6:18 am

Holy crap! G'd morning Babblers!

6:18 am

yeap..that what I thought lori...

6:18 am

Do I still have sleepy dirt in my eyes, or is this a big grid? Yowsa.

6:18 am

Hi Lori!

6:19 am

***pondering my masochistic side with completing this behemouth***

6:19 am

passing lori cappacino and truffles..have a seat dear.... relax..and... get to work

6:19 am

Oooh cappucino. Okay. I'm game!

6:20 am

my i'net connection is ultra draggy this morn. Ack!

6:21 am

are u using the beta lori?..its the grid size...cus befor a word is added to the babble list...it scans through lickety's list first....

6:22 am

32 re's. Gag me. I'm doing those now, rather than later when my brain will be like a Jello sculpture

6:22 am

so that babble isn't overloaded with bad tries

6:22 am

Nahh, everything I've done on the net this morn has been like dial-up. I think they're doing an upgrade, which is slowing things down. :(

6:23 am

I can't use beta on a big grid as it takes about two minutes to add each word!

6:23 am

Last time I used beta on a grid this big I had it freeze and had to retsart. I expect that again this time.

clue for be 7/36

6:34 am

Sorry green, don't have it, and g'd morning. :)

ok ty Lori

6:34 am

6:38 am

ty granadan

6:39 am

6:41 am

Pretty much rolin, with a couple exceptions.

6:48 am

6:50 am

6:50 am

( should I stop?..if everyone has..I won't bother?)

6:50 am

LOL, EJ

6:50 am

no no..kepp 'em coming as far as im concerned

6:51 am

thanks, carlee!

6:51 am

DON"T stop, please, or we will get demanding like a troll

oooooops

6:51 am

I'm sure no one would have found THAT one without me

6:51 am

I was so glad I had nearly finished when she came on, I cant put up with all that nonsense

6:52 am

Wow, I just figured out that me combo---odd

6:52 am

6:52 am

What was she saying?

6:53 am

and the th9 ( only one te 9 sorry ) th*** are 60 **** in one hour

6:53 am

am missing one 9 besides the re 9

she was castigating everyone for asking for clues and not having the satisfaction of doing the puzzle by themselves

6:53 am

Carlee, have you finished the grid already?

6:53 am

oops..just found it..is another me...hold ne..diving

6:54 am

how she can finish a grid on her own and how she thinks the clues we give are very lame and we should be able to complete the grids on our own with no help

6:54 am

good god no...Ijust found the 10's and 9's a few 8 fromthe 9's...

6:54 am

morning everyone. Just stopped in to see how many words. Oh my goodness!

also threw in a fw "you are all menopausal" insults

6:54 am

Then why does she bother with the chat if she wants to do it all on her own?

6:54 am

I'm not going to finish...I have to work..so my goal today is to just find all the bigggies

she said it amuses her

6:54 am

Hey Mom! Forget your chores today!

6:54 am

I can never start with the big ones--I'm the queen of 4's

6:55 am

EJ if we were all so menapausal...she wouldnta got out alive..lol

6:55 am

6:55 am

6:55 am

* pasing mom a cappacino* take a seat mom.you are going to be here a while

6:55 am

6:57 am

10:19 am

You can actually make a buffet table with all the hoagie fixin's, sour cream, avocado and tomatoes & onions, plus the meats/cheeses for hoagies... it's amazing how everyone wants to "create my own"///

10:19 am

The sour cream, etc., for the tacos, of course.

10:19 am

I dont have the 2nd 6/27 sorry

10:20 am

no, I already had that word, I was thinking there was another one with septic

10:20 am

( well red... as hubby has "sandwiches" everyday in his lunch bucket.... I am thinking we will go with the tacos as much as the rest of us would likely prefer... hoagies and salad )

10:21 am

Isn't a taco a type of sandwich, though?

10:21 am

or fajitas! mmm!

10:21 am

A crispy critter for sure!

10:21 am

Chicken fajitas... ummmmmm

11:04 am

hi everyone! colhad, don't get the fe7/40 clue. anything else?

May I please have a clue for the Co 6,30 ? <after Co 7,48>

11:14 am

thanks dorens

11:15 am

co4/6 remove the last letter and addmi4/7

co 6/30 - plural of a seinfeld character

oops, that's the 6/24...disregard that clue

11:17 am

The co/6 is a policial science word referring to legal deference owed to the decisions of other states or nations, but it sounds like the opposite of tragedy

11:17 am

that is a good clue though!

co 6/30 - co + homophone of flying cartoon character ****** mouse

ok...moms of good kids... am in need of a bit of moral support here... just had MAJOR fight with mother in law and I am going to scream

1:04 pm

oooh, carlee, all my sympathy, I had a real doozie of a m-i-l

1:04 pm

*pats carlee on head*

1:05 pm

i have been married to my hubby for 28 yrs - mother in lae still calls me bob's wife..........good luck

1:05 pm

my kids... are good..responsible kids... and my mother in law... can we say her kids are all screwed up in major ways...

1:05 pm

( my hubby included.... in some ways )

1:05 pm

sometimes they can be wonderful people, but not when it comes to their son's mates

1:05 pm

keep talking

1:06 pm

I hear you carlee

1:06 pm

hi! clue please for the 1st be7/8?

1:06 pm

my hubby was "not planned, not wanted, etc. etc. and he turned out the best of the lot

1:06 pm

so.she just announced to me.. that it is time I take on a full time job besides the part time one..so we can get totally out of debt ( so..for next 4-5 year s) as my kids are good kids..they can take caref of themselves now

1:07 pm

emusing, be7 sounds like deer meat

1:07 pm

now... go ahead.. ASK me how old my kids are?

1:07 pm

thank you, flossy!

1:07 pm

carlee, you just do what you see best for yourself

1:07 pm

how old

1:07 pm

i'm irked by people today too carlee *sympathetic hug*

1:08 pm

my husband works 80+ hours a week cus he a workaholic..and she think I should be working at least 60... and my kids JUST turned 15 adn 11

1:09 pm

so...while girls in grade 7 and 8 are busy being unsupervised... ( 12 and 13 yrs) are comin to school drunnk... and the girls are busy giving blowjobs behind the portables... I am to just say... GO... raise urselves?

1:09 pm

don't let her do it to you, if hubby is working 80 hours then you need to be there for the kids as well as hubby

carlee they are not old enough to be on their own and you have managed this long with only part time job tell mil to buzz off

1:10 pm

and whats worse..HE AGREES WITH HER

1:10 pm

NO WAY!

1:10 pm

yeap

1:10 pm

I don't suppose MIL volunteered to supervise the teen girls while mom is working? Tell her to sod off, Carlee.

1:11 pm

does he care what his kids are doing when unsupervised

1:11 pm

oh no..she alread has one grand daughter who is 17..tatooed and living with her 22 year old boyfriend whom she holds up as the perfect example of how my kids can grow up and be perfect

1:11 pm

perhaps you don't want her helping out either

1:12 pm

she is still in high school... a CATHOLIC highschool

1:12 pm

Wow. She sounds like a twisted sister, Carlee. Sounds like hubby needs to be re-programed as well. Time to lay down the law.

1:13 pm

that just it..the whole freaking family like this... and they are the one telling me I am wrong...

1:13 pm

stand strong Carlee, you know what's best for your kids - and you also have to look after yourself

1:13 pm

So grateful that my MIL does not interfer in our lives. She's just a sweet old lady that barely says boo to anyone.

1:13 pm

crap I am tired of being "wrong"

1:14 pm

you're not wrong carlee, don't let anyone give you these guilt trips

1:14 pm

i totally agree with flosey, carlee.. what you do for your kids is most important, and perhaps there is another way to help the budget..

1:14 pm

As long as your finances are manageable, Carlee, there's no need for both of you to be absentee parents. Tell MIL you'll think about getting a full time job when the first one goes off to college. That might hold her off for a while.

1:14 pm

well I suppose I could prostitue myself...after hours...

1:15 pm

so what if it takes a few more years to pay off a mortgage - your kids benefit by having you around and that's far more important

1:15 pm

i hear that pays well

1:15 pm

so have I hurshy

1:15 pm

at least you haven't lost your sense of humour

1:15 pm

Or, you could prostitute the children! Doesn't sound like MIL would mind.

1:15 pm

its either that or smash up my house

1:15 pm

Hi all a clue please for ni7/28 ?

4:48 pm

Hi, Babblers. Back from my break. Congrats, Merk!

4:48 pm

*Diving back in for last 116*

4:48 pm

hi jellen!

4:48 pm

Yes, Merk, a 535 grid in July...

That was when I was in China and could not get Lickety's List. I didn't do that one, I guess.

4:49 pm

you gotta love newborn pooping habits. :-D

oh feather... I can't help but laugh when I just read you comment

4:50 pm

This one is more of a gut-buster, though, Merk.

4:50 pm

To be truthful, I pefer them to be 300 or less.

only because I know I'll be dealing with the same thing very soon

4:50 pm

gotta laugh, what else can you do!

4:50 pm

I do not understand the clues..... please help

4:50 pm

yep, laugh now TnT. :-)

4:50 pm

I like the biggies... and really hate the 53-word grids... this one is fun... couldn't do it every day, though.

4:50 pm

4:51 pm

HI Scrabs, got the Chico's job

6:42 pm

moist

6:42 pm

sorry

6:42 pm

Stid - there's a special cushion with a coccyx hole in it that is very helpful for that if it's lower back pain.

6:42 pm

never be sorry for helping me out on a grid like this, doxy!

6:42 pm

STID \

6:42 pm

Excellent, peri! Reiki is so cool....

6:43 pm

still have 51 to search for

6:43 pm

doxy - AK was feeling a little sweaty, too. LOL. You're not alone.

6:43 pm

rika, I am BUSY. I said hello once. I will not respond again.

6:43 pm

so 7-8 combo?

6:43 pm

pam, I have expanded my practice to doing Reiki on animals.

6:43 pm

375 left

6:43 pm

I still have 125 to find. It's 41 mins past midnight and I have to be up at 8.30 to get ready to go to a wedding. I'd better search in earnest now.

6:44 pm

Pam--our "superhero" was dutifully honored. Lunch, cake, etc. No one else gets that much.

6:44 pm

I have a question- what if I show up for an appointment to give Reiki to an animal and it is not interested. Do I charge for showing up and if so how much?

6:44 pm

HEY EVERYONE

6:44 pm

Hi, Scrabbs.

6:44 pm

yes, I think you should charge peri, at least set part of your price as a "showing up" fee...

6:44 pm

I think I would charge half price peri.

6:44 pm

Peri--congrats on the job!

6:44 pm

peri...u should have a standard "travel expense" like a repair man....

6:44 pm

I know that veterinarians do things like that, and many people docs as wel

6:45 pm

and then... after that a second charge

6:45 pm

thanks Scrabs

6:45 pm

( even if 10 or 15.00

yes you charge peri. whatever your rate is, you should charge it as a show up fee

6:45 pm

doxy, that is what I was thinking

6:45 pm

{{{mrp}}} how are you?

6:45 pm

hi, mrp!

6:45 pm

isn't it like really late (or early) for you?

6:45 pm

should I charge my full fee mrp or half the full fee

6:45 pm

hello mr pres...how are you feeling?

6:45 pm

hi mrp

6:45 pm

I agree with 1/2 price

6:45 pm

One of my rabbits, Peter Rabbit (RIP, 2001), had reiki and was very cooperative.

6:45 pm

fe7 clue perhaps?

6:45 pm

Hi MRP

6:46 pm

Hi, MrP.

6:46 pm

Hey stid i have 2 more years of collage

6:46 pm

te

hi everyone :)) I saw the surgeon yesterday...

6:46 pm

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6:46 pm

Jacula--let's get you some fireworks, and Hurshy, cause it won't be happening to me tonight.

6:46 pm

I have a silly question. what is reiki?

6:46 pm

Hey brb

6:47 pm

fe7 = fe + upright consonant + building *** (area where builders work).

6:47 pm

And, MRP............? **Crossing fingers for good news**

6:47 pm

how did it go, MRP??????

6:47 pm

and *waiting on tenter hooks*

6:47 pm

carly, I plan to charge $40 for a session that will be 30 -45 minutes depending on the animal. if they are not interested I was planning to charge $20, does that sound right

6:47 pm

girly - unless you're at art college doing paste-up pictures, the word is 'college'.

6:47 pm

reiki is energy work doxy, it is I think a japanese version of chinese "chi" work

6:47 pm

thank you for the explanation

peri, say your fee is $50... you should have a show up fee of 20% at least... and put that in your fee schedule... initial showup fee $10... if your animal accepts treatment... a fee of $40 is payable after that

6:48 pm

ounds fair peri...but show it as service call charge

I am not suggesting your pricing there btw :)

6:48 pm

jac girly could be an ar-teest

6:48 pm

Hi again everyone

6:48 pm

Diving back into grid now, but keeping an eye open for MrP's news.

6:48 pm

Peri--why wouldn't the animal be interested? Can't you just do it?

6:48 pm

thanks for the advice carlee and mrp

6:48 pm

Hi, Mom!

6:49 pm

hi mom

6:49 pm

LOL, Scrabbs.

6:49 pm

Hi Pam

6:49 pm

ha. I got an 8 by my lonesome self...

6:49 pm

hi mom

6:49 pm

once again, I should login more often. seems every time I do, the game is huge

6:49 pm

Hi, Mom--how was your CAT scan? Was it a tiger cat, or Siamese? Did the cat stare at you, or hiss?

6:49 pm

do you want to share Stid? I have zero 8 letter words

6:49 pm

me, too, stid--one for the birds, LOL

6:49 pm

Hi Stid

6:49 pm

doxy Reiki is a very gentle form of hands on healing. the word Reiki is from the Japanese. it is very effective for stress reduction and relaxation and for pain relief after surgery

6:49 pm

Hi Scoutsmom

6:49 pm

{{{{{ScoutsMom}}}}} I haven't seen you in forever. Are you well?

6:49 pm

K im back

6:50 pm

is10?

6:50 pm

the cat hissed, and it was fine. I have a disc to take to the doctor when I go in September. Thanks for asking

6:50 pm

nvm

6:50 pm

Scrabs, I could give Reiki from a distance but not comfortable doing it if the animal is not intereste, respect for the animal, etc

My surgeon says it is healing, but slow cause it was such a big break... another 7 weeks in the cast!! darn

6:50 pm

Guess what Stid

6:50 pm

rats, mrp ((((((((((((mrp))))))))))))

6:50 pm

well mind the is 10 for me please...

6:50 pm

Hi Girlygirl

6:51 pm

at least it is healing mrp. that is good news

6:51 pm

hey stid

6:51 pm

ugh, sorry, MRP, but glad it's healing..... ((((()))))))

6:51 pm

Hi mom

6:51 pm

oh mrp -- at least it is healing though! hey did you see the pic of stidmatt with Dr Mazure?

6:51 pm

It is hard to be a patient patient, isn't it, MRP?

6:51 pm

peri, do you make long distance house calls?

6:51 pm

stid do you know about exercises where you just, like, push on a wall, or do something that doesn't actually accomplish anything but exercise?

6:51 pm

oh, my, the is 10 is like the exercises of resistance...

but, the good news is the picc line can come out next thursday... only 1 more week of that tragedy to go. thank goodness cause it is hard to bath with both arms useless

6:52 pm

doing well, guys... just relocated with the Babe and am seeking gainful employment

6:52 pm

Guess what everyone!!!!!!!

6:52 pm

yes hurshy and pam, I got a 6/21 from that clue...

6:52 pm

calisthenetics, hursh?

6:52 pm

oh good about the picc line. Those things are just nasty and inconvenient... but better than getting stuck with needles all the time I suppose

yes stid I did! how wonderful!! I asked the surgeon if they cultivated anything from the dense bone, but they couldn't cause it was so bad! So phage is out for me :(

6:53 pm

great, MRP!!!!

6:53 pm

Is the pain better?

6:53 pm

oooh. I found it! *dances ecstatically*

6:53 pm

end it with "attempts", stid

6:53 pm

tr 5/10 please the first one

6:53 pm

yay stid

6:54 pm

thank you Hurshy

6:54 pm

that's okay mrp -- we will be optimistic that it is all gone and you won't need the phage.

6:54 pm

doxy, I can send Reiki anywhere in the world

6:54 pm

(((mrp)))

6:54 pm

Stid, would you please clue the 8 that you found by yourself>

6:54 pm

?

the pain is almost gone! I am down to 80mg a day of that rubbish drug and coming down every week

6:54 pm

OK, Peri, my e-mail is on my profile--I 'll take some extra energy.

6:54 pm

what is phage?

6:54 pm

I'm having surgery on sept. 5th, my knee scoped again. finally someone is listening to me.

hi nan :))

6:54 pm

Great about the pain!!!!

6:55 pm

Best of luck, doxy!

6:55 pm

the 8 I found is mi 8/45: feelings of all the awfulnesses

6:55 pm

What is the suspected problem, doxy?

6:55 pm

I hope it goes well Doxy

6:55 pm

oh doxy, good that you are persistent.

6:55 pm

Scrabs, don't need your e-mail, just where you are located and it helps to know your name and age. You can e-mail me if you want. One of these days I will charge for sending Reiki long distance, other people do

good going doxy... hope you get relief and heal well

6:55 pm

off to look for Stid's 8 letter word

6:56 pm

I'm hoping they find something. I have been having pain and swelling for over a year, and keep getting told nothing is wrong. I am tired of constant pain, and want something done with it.

6:56 pm

hey guess what yall

6:57 pm

*filing meniscus away for future babbling*

6:57 pm

Hey stid guess what!!!!!!!!!

6:57 pm

6:58 pm

Just when I thought all the prodding and poking (of the medical kind) was over for a while, I got my call for a smear test. The 5-yearly colonoscopy is also due through and that bit of root the dentist left behind when he pulled a molar out has now surfaced... ;(

6:58 pm

6:58 pm

That is the me9,66, HUrsh

sl5/10 plural of the sl4/4 above it

oh go away

7:07 pm

RI 5/14 please

7:07 pm

are we in total ignore mode, or is it time to ask DrGod for an intervention?

7:07 pm

hanging by my thumbs

mel, take the ri5/10 and change the ending to sometimes vowel

7:07 pm

COOL ICON Jacula!Does that have to do with theme?

7:07 pm

Then ask it, GG... no need to repeat that you have one.

7:07 pm

K are one of you from Tennessee

stid, nothing foul, just ignore it

7:08 pm

nah just ignoring its not bad yet

7:08 pm

Code Red, Code Red--ask Scotty to beam it up to the mothership.

7:08 pm

<snicker > scrabs...u kill me

7:08 pm

Hi the Duck! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid!

7:08 pm

rofl scrabbler, you are silly! *putting on aluminum foil hat for protection*

7:08 pm

Min - It's meant to be supernatural. Mind you, it's 1.06am in UK, so that's now yesterday's theme.

7:08 pm

thank you Mrp

7:08 pm

My survival mechanism is humor.

7:08 pm

Hey Scrabbler are you from Tennessee

7:09 pm

Howdy Babblers!

7:09 pm

yikes I have to get a move on with the rest of this..or give up..HUGE storm coming my way

7:09 pm

hey BGL!

7:09 pm

no, she is not. in fact we have a shocking dearth of people from tennessee. think they are all at dollywood.

7:09 pm

You better, Stid---Peri has these energy abilities now. If she can send long-distance energy with reiki, she can suck it out of us too.

7:09 pm

I have 20% of the words!

7:10 pm

RI 6/21 please

7:10 pm

20% is my goal! :)

7:10 pm

I used to be from Tennessee... that was an unfortunate rhyme, though

7:10 pm

but the people we do have from tennessee (and kentucky) are really really nice... *grin*

7:10 pm

stid, I cannot do that and wouldn't if I could

7:10 pm

Hey stid did you see what i wrote a minute ago?

7:10 pm

Hi BGL

7:10 pm

usually my goal is half, but that's like a normal full grid.

7:10 pm

Hello BGL! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

7:10 pm

I am joking, Peri--Stid mentioned using a tinfoil hat

7:11 pm

Well i am there right now

mel ri6 + the guy who took the tablets to the mountain

7:11 pm

14 words to go, ~falls out of her chair~

I think he parted a sea along the way

7:11 pm

I know that peri -- scrabbler was joking. reiki has helped me many times, and I know that it is a helping ability, not a destructive one.

7:11 pm

Come on, PEOPLE! We have to help meliae get fireworks.

7:12 pm

I'm ignoring the kentucky comment! (hehehe)

7:12 pm

and tomorrow i wont be on babble =-(

scrab!! I am trying!!

7:12 pm

okay I missed the posts then, was buried in the grid

7:12 pm

go Meliae, go

7:12 pm

go meliae go! i can give you any of the 57 4-letter words I have found so far...

7:12 pm

Hello ScoutsMom! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

7:12 pm

Reiki helped my bunny--he had that and acupuncture for several months.

7:12 pm

Good evening all--how is everyone doing?

7:12 pm

7:35 pm

mom and others, i have a cute picture of a pug dressed up like darth vader. trying to think of the best way to show you all.

7:35 pm

girly - if you have dyslexia then I am sorry for what I said. However, if you're just attention-seeking then go back to my previous post about maturing.

7:36 pm

Wow the log's moving fast tonight! I can't keep up! I hope you're not giving too many clues that I'm missing! :)
