12:34 am

indeed

12:37 am

I am not getting those de 7s and 8.

12:37 am

the X confuses me a little, since most words i know with X in them are Catalan, and not English.

12:37 am

ah yes, rebaixes! about the only Catalan word I know; I visited Barcelona and it was in the windows of all the stores

12:38 am

most Js in Spanish become Xs or IXs in Catalan

12:38 am

caixa, planxa, reloix

12:39 am

don't know all those words in Spanish either, heh

12:39 am

oh, wait, j->ix. now I recognize at least one

12:39 am

i lived in Spain when i was young, and spent some vacation in Barcelona.

12:41 am

geez, I've never seen an X used this much. two X's, tons of ax's, some d's and at least one f use it...

:P right back at ye!

1:32 am

ata, sprite and i were talking about you the other day

1:32 am

(that's what I get for spamming Anet until they listened to you :P)

1:32 am

oh lol, yes we were.

1:32 am

there was a marine biology word and you were part of the clue.

1:33 am

ooooo! should I be worried?

1:33 am

1:33 am

Now thats babble status - to be part of a clue :)

1:34 am

about not telling me about GW, yes. About the talking: no, not at all. Fran clued a word like: a real Ata word, or Ata would know the meaning I am sure. And I just knew the word from that, LOL.

*contemplates grid .. looks out the window yawning ... wonders if Haz has managed to get her PC fixed yet?

1:37 am

it is plankton with a will of its own!

gee sorry to bore you FM

1:38 am

contemplating will get you nowhere, FMitch, get to work!

1:38 am

Does recognizing it as vaguely familiar count as knowing a word?

1:38 am

:-), of course jellen!

1:39 am

in babble, knowing it enough to monkey it suffices.

1:39 am

Yes M'am - saluting towards sprite *grin* *Holds nose and jumps in*

1:39 am

though I admit I miss Haz too.

I miss Pink

1:40 am

i didn't realize she was having computer trouble

1:40 am

if sended is a word, so should eated.

1:41 am

but that makes sense sprite, and we all know that's not how enable works.

1:44 am

someone sended you to bed, freep? Sleep weller and be restier in the morning !

1:44 am

Hello lynxxx

1:44 am

do you ever write a word down and then look at it thinking, "that can't be the right spelling."

Fran all the time

1:45 am

good morning FM !

1:45 am

even though it is the right spelling and it's a word you use all the time?

yep

1:45 am

frequently

1:45 am

Fran, when I started working at an office, I once mistyped 'sincerely'. I looked at it, knew it was wrong and couldn't come up with the correct spelling. Has been confusing me ever since :D

1:45 am

i just did that with "night"!!

1:46 am

so now I don't trust myself typing it, even if it is correctly spelled :)

1:46 am

lol Fran

1:46 am

and its ususlaly really simple words. I remember writing "cat" once and being sure it was wrong!

1:46 am

well, you're spelling it correctly sprite. :-)

1:47 am

lol ata!

1:47 am

not without checking twice, Fran, lol

Hi Atal

1:49 am

hi lynxxx!

1:49 am

I've overstayed my planned departure time, as usual.

1:50 am

I don't mind, Jellen :)

1:50 am

You are part of the reason I stay, sprite!

1:51 am

oh wow! This early and I already have done something good today :)

1:53 am

really bugging phantoms: exile and elixer.

1:54 am

jellen, every good plan has room for change. let's just say you had to rethink your departure time.

1:55 am

So I could meet my Babble goals---yeah!

1:55 am

the problem with Jellen is, that for me every time she leaves is too early.

1:55 am

true sprite.

1:56 am

Awww! You all are too sweet!

1:56 am

"he makes a list, he chex it twice..."

bler

1:57 am

not only that, chex are a kind of cereal here.

1:57 am

BBS .... daughter finally doing her tax return (on this laptop)

1:57 am

later lynxxx!

1:57 am

bad timing of daughter, lyn ;)

1:58 am

Bye, lynxxx!

1:58 am

this is my favorite time to babble...the log isn't moving at 100 mph, not too many people asking for clues and i find more words without the list.

1:58 am

I have to admit, being able to feel smarter than a dictionary really brightens my mornings :)

1:58 am

absolutely Fran!

1:59 am

and the chat is nice and funny and interesting!

1:59 am

my sentiments too Fran

1:59 am

if you really think about it, if enable was more comprehensive the grids would all be over 300 words.

1:59 am

Shhhh :)

2:00 am

*very big grin*

2:00 am

:-)

2:03 am

my son says he wants to be a cook when he grows up! And he now wants to cook dinner... he did yesterday (I told him what to do, but did nothing myself) and it was delicious! Now my daughter wants to cook today... you think this will last? ;)

2:04 am

One can hope, sprite!

2:04 am

if he really enjoys it, it might be a lasting thing...cross your fingers.

2:04 am

how old are they sprite?

Hope for you it will Sprite

2:05 am

my son is 11, daughter is 9. And I have to admit, my son has been talking about wanting to be a cook for some time.

It took someone in the government 15 minutes to decide that my mental health is fine enough not to work for another 6months (note nearly 3 years of not working) and still they cant help me

2:06 am

i think it could last then, they're at the right age

2:06 am

it is so funny, my son demanded yesterday that we let him cook at least once a week. We said no, because we want it to remain fun and not become a chore. He was so pissed :)

2:06 am

i was cooking family meals at your son's age.

2:06 am

*hugs lady* That s*cks, darling.

2:07 am

I did too, Fran, but I hate it now...

Sprite im pinching your kids to cook for me :) Sounds wonderfully that they want to help

2:08 am

I wish I liked to cook. :-(

2:08 am

lol lady, I can imagine! They have always loved helping out in the kitchen, I have friends who actually ask THEM to come at a party because they love their help so much :)

I like cooking

2:08 am

I hate cooking. Well, not totally. But I hate having to cook every day.

Thats cute

I told a friends kid that cooking was the best as you can play with the food and no one gets mad

2:09 am

that's probably what it is for me too sprite, because i used to love doing dinner parties with my friends when i was single.

2:10 am

I still like cooking special meals, but that every day returning chore of thinking up something, shopping for it, making it... argh :(

I cook because my house mate is crap at cooking

2:13 am

Hi everyone!

2:13 am

Hi, Brookie

2:13 am

hi Brookie

2:13 am

hi brook!

2:13 am

By the way, I love to cook, but my fiance is much better at it than I am.

2:13 am

lucky woman!

2:14 am

my husband did cook dinner tonight, but i had to prep and cut everything up for him. (i'm faster)

2:14 am

I'm sure he appreciated that.

2:14 am

ok, why on earth is alinea not valid? Paragraph?

2:15 am

ok, I know now... it is dutch and not english. Darn.

2:15 am

An ex used to enjoy cooking and what he produced was great but .. he would insist on using every pot, pan and bowl in the kitchen.

2:16 am

darn, i tried it too, just because it sounds like it should be a word.

2:16 am

and let me guess...he wasn't good at cleaning up after?

2:16 am

you guessed it!

2:16 am

it IS a word. Just not english, lol. Fmitch, I think that is a man's thing. That and leaving all wrappings and peels etc on the sink.

2:17 am

urgh! do you know my husband sprite?

2:18 am

grin... I don't have the honour, Fran, but if he is anything like mine, the kitchen is a mess when dinner is ready. And we love them.

2:19 am

:-) I guess that's true sprite.

2:20 am

2 x X words? Need more tea. :(

2:21 am

I thought of xenofoob right away, but xeno does not work.

2:21 am

they're not too bad FM, they've been in the grid before and one is a plural.

2:21 am

sorry, an adjective form, not plural

2:21 am

Don't you get technical with me at this time of the morning!

I have he 8 la8 li 8 what am i missing please

2:22 am

ROFL!!

2:22 am

lol!

2:23 am

the xe5 sounds like a flower

2:23 am

ax8 and de8 infernal

thanks

2:23 am

ok FMitch, if you don't want to admit you have a tendency to be mean with Ks, you are in de****. Change first letter. Drop last letter.

2:25 am

Mmwah! thanks spritey kkkkisses for you tee hee

2:25 am

LOL! See what I mean? And you're kwite welkome.

clue for the DE 8 please

2:27 am

de8 is a chemical. if you can use either hand to write your are ambi****ruous, add the chemical ending to that.

2:27 am

Right, I had better apply myself to finding words.

nevermind

there is some strange words abound

2:28 am

2:32 am

It's 3:30 am here but I had a chocolate-covered pretzel.

2:32 am

whats for dinner Herin

Im drinking bourbon. Um bacon macaroni what ever requires no thinking

2:35 am

cougar bourbon is that nice???

2:35 am

I have finally given in to the fact that being up and about takes a lot of energy from this somewhat damaged body, and now I take naps in the day. I feel much better and I have discovered I love it :)

2:36 am

naps are good for the body, no matter what age

indeed sprite!

no but it will do

2:36 am

good for you sprite! i used to love my naps, can't do it anymore with two little ones running around.

2:36 am

used to do the same thing Sprite but I have progressed somewhat from there in the last 3months

2:36 am

and the mind as well, I must admit. I should have started napping ages ago, but better late than never!

2:37 am

woot lore! That is a good sign!

2:37 am

This is the 254th day of the year, with 111 days remaining in 2007. ... only 105 Days shopping days!

2:38 am

oh no! don't remind me babrab.

2:38 am

*smiles at BabbleRabble* Some stats! *shudders*

2:39 am

hey babble just to muck up your stats .... this female does not shop!! .

2:39 am

Seeing as you brought that up BabRab - for once I can go HAH!! I'm 1/2 way sorted with presents thanks to some early inspiration.

2:39 am

not feeling guilty about it anymore, I really realise it is what I need to function.

2:40 am

You're organized, FMitch!

2:40 am

every year we say we're going to start early FM, good for you for actually doing it!

Christmas and my birthday have been canceled on account of me being a crabby bitch

3:08 am

3:20 am

hi -- late arrival here

3:20 am

hi jill

3:21 am

hi Jilli - been out and about again?

3:21 am

jilli! *hug*

3:22 am

I was playing bridge as usual on a Monday night -- spent ages looking for a photo of my bedroom but couldn't find it so used the icon I have here.

3:23 am

phantom -- tetched

3:24 am

good one jill

3:24 am

phantom - detox

3:25 am

will try to get some sleep now. bye!

3:26 am

bye Brookie

3:26 am

night brookie

3:27 am

night Brookie

3:28 am

hi sprite -- are we alone here?

3:28 am

I think so

3:28 am

I have a special request to make from you, jilli!

3:29 am

Well, I should be in bed ;)

3:29 am

am I included in that 'we'?

3:30 am

I soooo want to hear you read your favorite children's story about the kangaroo. Please make a cast of it with mrP? *puppy eyes and on knees, begging*

3:30 am

lynxxx, you are always included.

3:30 am

oh yes, lynxxx!

3:30 am

sprite, I don't know how without a microphone!

3:31 am

no, you would need a he4set for that. Either mrP or me would be happy to send you one!

3:32 am

Oh! I have a headset!

3:32 am

oops -- h4set

3:33 am

that's all you need! It has a mike in it and that is good enough. With skype it is just like telephoning, for the rest. Would you please please consider it? We'd love to hear you!

3:34 am

I didn't realise it was a skype thing. I'll have to learn how to do that -- but not now!!!!! - lol

3:35 am

it is totally easy, jilli, really. If you want, mrP can take you through the steps one by one. Skype is nothing more than a kind of telephone program for computers. You can talk to the whole world for free, or at least for only the cost of your computer connection :)

3:35 am

hey! I found an X word!

3:36 am

yay jilli! You will find the other one too th4, it is similar.

3:36 am

*I second that sprite* came the voice behind large pile of papers. Evening jilli.

3:36 am

I knew about skype but hadn't set it up

3:37 am

Hi FM :)

3:37 am

just be sure you take the free version. Lickety has checked it out for us. It has all the features we need and no malware or spyware or adware. It is clean.

3:37 am

wb FMitch!

3:38 am

maybe tomorrow, sprite

3:38 am

or rather wkb, FMitch

3:38 am

Tskkkkk now now sprite *grin*

3:38 am

*hugs jilli* Whenever it is good for you, darling. Just knowing that some day you will read me that story is enough for me :)

3:40 am

got the other X, and thx for the th4 word worked in so neatly too

3:41 am

Clues for those x's please jilli?

3:45 am

xe5/20 -- xe + "that ma ***c was cutting me off"

3:45 am

add a cons for the 6

3:45 am

I mean ma***c

3:45 am

ty jilli

3:46 am

TY too

3:46 am

if you do not want to admit certain things to yourself, you are in de****, movie my man. Change the first letter for the 6. Drop last letter for the 5.

3:46 am

yw :)

3:46 am

but I guess you already got them from jilli's clue, lol.

3:47 am

time for list ... drawing total blank on the last 50

3:48 am

I had to monkey an F4, lynxxx... if you slip, you F***. Change last consonant in the last of your nick.

3:48 am

which of course is a structure shaped like a sickle, as a fold of dura mater separating the cerebral hemispheres. We knew that.

3:49 am

ta, sprite :D

3:49 am

yw! Thought maybe others might have trouble with that one as well, grin.

3:50 am

got those Ys too

3:50 am

of course we did! how could I have forgotten that! TY Sprite

3:50 am

great jilli, another grayed-out tile th4 :)

3:50 am

yw lynxxx!

3:51 am

but that bottom A is giving me trouble

3:51 am

I submit that F4/12 is not a word, but an enablism.

3:51 am

jilli: a very long time?

3:52 am

ha-- not any more!

3:52 am

good for you!

3:52 am

the long time comes from a different A

3:53 am

this one is a nothing

3:54 am

oh, you are right. Got all As, but seeing from which tile they come is not always easy, lol.

3:54 am

there is a plural nothing too, according to enable.

3:54 am

Clues for the 8s plz?

3:55 am

yeah, got that too -- but no 8s yet and only 2 7s

3:56 am

de8: D + former husband + chemical word for 3 + first 2 letters of the following.

3:57 am

he7/8: he + consonant + stuff you breathe + vowel. And plural.

3:58 am

La8: past tense of La6. L + solo song in opera + name for a toybear.

3:58 am

Li7/8: straight and narrow + had for dinner. Past tense for the 8.

4:00 am

great clues, sprite! tyvm!

4:00 am

ax8: ax + not well + butt minus last letter. It builds on an ax4/9. You can also get 3 7s from this one.

4:01 am

my pleasure jilli :)

4:02 am

ty ty sprite, me ol' dutch!!!!!!!

4:02 am

you're very welcome, movie my man :)

4:02 am

I only got an ax7 from that clue, sprite, plus a 4 and a6 so far

4:03 am

ok jilli... plural the 6 the normal way and the latin way. Th4 make it adverbial and pluralise it.

4:04 am

(the 6 I mean, not the plural 7s)

4:06 am

wonderful clues sprite :)

4:06 am

thanks sunny :)

4:07 am

axillaI can't seem to find a way to make the armpit adverbial

4:07 am

jilli, almost... just change the last letter.

4:07 am

oops -- didn't mean to put that first word in!

4:07 am

used the Ls in the other order.

4:08 am

almost penalty box for you, lol...

4:09 am

got it (adjectival, I think)

4:10 am

good! And if you pluralise that, it should give you the 8.

4:10 am

it was the other order Ls wot dun it :D

4:10 am

lol, thought it might!

4:11 am

got it -- now how about the ax5/20? The first one?

4:11 am

insert a vowel into the ax4/9, just before the last letter.

4:14 am

great -- that gets rid of all the ax words -- and me -- must go to bed now and have all tiles with at least one word -- thanks SO much, spritey! Nighty nighty!

4:14 am

sweet dreams to you, jilli, and a nice and restful night! *hug*

4:14 am

nite jilli

4:15 am

goodnite Jilli

4:15 am

Hi Sunny!

4:15 am

hey lynxxx!

4:16 am

night everyone -- babble well -- *poof*

4:17 am

and fireworks

4:18 am

Congrats Sprite!!!

4:18 am

Hooray for Sprite!!

4:18 am

Sprite, just out of curiosity, have you ever completed a grid without help yet?

4:19 am

Oh, and congrats, by the way

4:19 am

congrats sprite :)

4:19 am

yes, I think I have... you mean without clues from the chat?

4:19 am

Yep, that's what I mean, 'cos I never have!!!!!

4:20 am

I have done some without any clues, but not many. I only hide the chat when people are spelling out clues, for the rest I like the chat too much :)

4:22 am

and since drG made the pro site, we always have the help of the tile stats. But I have done and finished some grid before that time, without any help at all. Not as much fun though ;)

4:22 am

oh wow, the movie is just great today.

4:25 am

Sprite is being too modest. She is a Babble genius. Back before the tile stats, she not only finished grids but generously clued us mere mortals. Even so, I never finished a grid pre-stats...

4:26 am

now you got me blushing... but yes, I always loved clueing. The teamwork is what I like most about this site.

4:34 am

mmm...not too bad, only a dozen 'duh' words out of my last 50

4:35 am

I've never completed a grid withoud assistance, but what I am IS a completist.....I ALWAYS have to finish a grid......

4:38 am

well done lynxxx!

4:38 am

Need cluez for my last four 7s, I have ax7 x3, de7, he7, li7, ts7........

4:38 am

I know the feeling, movieman :)

4:38 am

you finished lynxxx?

4:39 am

I have...just mesmerized by this UTube clip

4:40 am

ai7, past tense of the ai5/12 de7 x 3 (2 related to the 8, 1 is where God is) ra7: ra + consonant + straight and narrow

4:40 am

hooray for you! :)

4:40 am

isn't it fascinating lynxxx! I love it :)

4:41 am

de7: where God is, according to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, I should have written. Singular.

4:43 am

I am off to sudoku, you all have fun and a great day or night or whatever.

4:43 am

very clever! making it look easy enough for a child to do , but I bet it is not!

4:43 am

later sprite :)

4:44 am

Can't get that "God" de7, never heard of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.....

4:44 am

See you later Sprite..

4:44 am

I was thinking exactly the same. You have to be a real artist to do this, I bet.

4:44 am

you could google her, lol, movie. But before I leave: you can look at something and see it as a whole. Or you can look at the de7s.

4:45 am

or: de + wiggling part of dog

4:46 am

tomorrow we go to the transformers, btw :)

4:46 am

Enjoy the movie, sprite

4:48 am

Got all the 7s now, ty sprite

4:48 am

I might get going too but any clues required before I go?

4:49 am

ts 7 please lynxxx

4:50 am

ts7 is the wife of the ts4.4. - add T*** Arena

4:51 am

Good morning everyone. MrP, just shared the new babblebooks with my beloved, and he asked if it's alright to put a link to it on a different webpage (he works at a library). I wasn't sure about that -- thought I should ask you. ??

6:13 am

thanks Kristine, I actually did figure it out simultaneously with your clue

yvw

6:14 am

I'm marooned at the library, computer is still being repaired but hopefully by tomorrow things will be back on track.

6:14 am

Is PC fixed yet or are you at the libarary?

hi kristine :)

hello mrp

6:14 am

ugh....computer problems... what was wrong with it haz?

6:15 am

mrp it was delicious

6:15 am

Well, nasty viruses seem to have invaded it.

6:15 am

The computer guy used some less than descriptive terms for the people who perpr

6:15 am

yeap..hate those.....

6:15 am

perpetrate these things.

6:16 am

But being refined, I'll leave it to your imagination.

puter viruses can be a b.....

6:16 am

However, when I get it back, I'm promised gigs and rams and extra memory and I'll be able to do babble in about 10 seconds flat.

hubby is up need to go fix him some breakfast...bbl

6:17 am

I have a Mac cause my son convince me they have fewer viruses than pc's. So, to play Babble, I got a laptop

6:17 am

Ah are they enabling enable for you then :)

6:17 am

That's what I want someday, bichon--a MacBook.

6:18 am

bichon, macs have many fewer virus/malware issues

6:18 am

I don't know what they're doing, FMitch, 'twas a foreign language they started to speak.

6:18 am

Well thats enable all over lol

6:18 am

Although, apparently, the creeps had managed to wipe Norton from the system!

6:19 am

I like the Mac, especially for graphics, but I miss the right click on a PC

6:19 am

And, I can't load Internet Explorer

6:20 am

LOL Fmitch!

6:20 am

firiefox is available for mac

6:20 am

So, is there any big news? How are you doing, mrpresident?

6:20 am

Well Haz, as always if you are going to do something you never do it by halves.

6:20 am

hello ch1212 ;)

6:20 am

yes, i use Firefox, but there are times I want IE. A figure skating video program I watch only uses that

6:20 am

Isn't that the truth? I left the vacuum cleaner to be fixed and was informed that it's practically terminal.

6:22 am

Husband will be strongly advised that a new one is NOT going to appear on my Christmas wish list.

6:22 am

i hat when developpers design for only one browser.

6:23 am

Thats just unfair!

6:24 am

agreed, dc. That

6:24 am

s just lazy developors

6:24 am

*developers

6:25 am

indeed, inge, not to mention ones out of touch with most end users.

6:25 am

Lunchtime over, gotta go. See you soon Haz :)

6:25 am

Hi Haz!! hi again everyone :)

6:25 am

lunchtime...hey all..

6:26 am

6:26 am

Bye FMitch - thanks for the card!

6:26 am

Bye all, time to get ready for another day in the factory.

6:29 am

6:30 am

Addicted? No, no, just a mild attachment.

6:30 am

6:30 am

6:30 am

In denial? No, no, I just look at life in a different way.

6:31 am

my mama lives without a computer, and my sister got online just this year.

6:31 am

delusional?... rose coloured glasses?

6:31 am

I'd rather toss the TV than the computer

6:31 am

i just love having google at my finger tips...settles so many disagreements

6:32 am

You mean people don't just accept what you say, rolin?

6:32 am

*sigh|*....i know its hard to believe haz...but i live in a world of sceptics...lol

6:33 am

I agree with inge2 -- I lived with no television for 16 of the past 20 years, but could NOT get along with my computer! :)

6:33 am

in denial? no, in de public library

6:33 am

You mustn't have trained them well enough. Say everything with utter conviction.

6:33 am

(the truth is,,,,its usually my partner sho's always right...the man is an endless well of trivia)

6:33 am

Don't make me laugh out loud, Atalante, there are some people in here who might give me strange looks....

6:34 am

hey there are ppl in here who give ya strange looks haz...you just dont see us..lol

6:34 am

So has he been on Millionaire? You should make use of his talent.

6:35 am

goo done rolin... ok..lets all try to make haz laugh...

6:35 am

I'm smiling, don't get me going or they'll throw me out.

6:35 am

i kid you not haz...i have begged him to try...but its that speed thing at the beginning that puts him off

6:36 am

lol poor haz. is everyone Very Quiet in there?

6:36 am

ah, the fog is lifting, i can see beyond the deck now.

6:36 am

I can understand that.

6:36 am

<EVIL GIGGLE>

6:36 am

where are you dc?

6:36 am

They're mostly men, and not very normal looking.

6:36 am

It sounds like he's at sea.

6:36 am

Reston, Virginia, about 15 miles west of Washington, DC.

6:36 am

all probably looking at porn on the internet

6:37 am

oooh...so its not the deck of a boat?

6:37 am

I'm too scared to look sideways for long.

6:37 am

theres porn on the internet???

6:37 am

yeap..porn...

6:37 am

sadly, not today, rolin.

6:37 am

Ah, Reston -- the unfortunate site of the virus outbreak. That's all I know about Reston.

6:38 am

but i thought the internet is for corn.

6:38 am

yes, the monkey building was finally torn down, and the site redevelopped.

6:38 am

lol, Haz, what kind of town do you live in....only ordinary types in our library

6:38 am

shockingly, yes, rolin!

6:38 am

and to think i imagined my partner to be studying..

6:38 am

the internet should be shut down except for babble

6:38 am

lol...thats a tad drastic ata

6:38 am

I remember that.. I believe I read about a book about that too dc

6:39 am

It's a town round about 30,000 people, the library is fairly new.

6:39 am

i'm in a melodramatic mood :)

6:39 am

Oh but the internet IS for corn! Here is the live corn cam link: www.iowafarmertoday.com/corn_cam/ :)

6:39 am

and recipe cites babble and recipes... and music downloads

6:39 am

lol ch

6:39 am

*grabs popcorn to watch ata's melodrama*

6:40 am

and chat rooms...if i could find a decent one again...*sigh*|

6:40 am

ok..i just gotta go to that link

6:40 am

hahaha... a corn field... oh my

6:40 am

I'd sniff and toss my head at rolin if it didn't attract attention. Babble chat not good enough?

6:40 am

yay! corncam!

6:40 am

It's updated every 15 minutes

6:41 am

apparently we've been dissed haz

6:41 am

now will people really believe you when you say you've been looking at corn ....

6:41 am

almost as lively as the cheese cam, eh carlee?

6:41 am

yippee..we can watch corn grow

6:41 am

I think so, carlee. Quiet sniff.

6:41 am

i'll go back to my pyramid cam thanks

6:41 am

rolin, i think this is a perfectly fine chat room.

6:41 am

lol..haz...sure it is...but in a previous life i used to have so many friends from the net... when i moved here i lost touch...time zones etc...and sometimes i miss it

6:42 am

Maybe Rolin means a forum

6:42 am

I love the pyramid cam! And the bunny cam with the live bunnies!

6:42 am

I understand now, rolin. You don't want to try living by Australia time?

6:42 am

wow..really rolin?..I have quite a few online friend in middle east...and even with 7-8 time zones..we keep in touch almost daily

6:42 am

i dunno how long you all have been on the net..but many moons ago there was a chat link call pow-wow

6:42 am

my roommate frequents, and i'm occaisonlly on, the JREF forum, it's a skeptic organisation.

6:42 am

she just means we're not as nice as her old friends

6:42 am

we're watching corn grow this morning? wait, hang on, lemme get my webcam set up, i just painted a wall...we can watch it dry...

6:43 am

ch..they have changed the light show its pretty WOW

6:43 am

ooh ata.... your trying emotional blackmail on ME...a jewish mother???...lol...brave woman...lol

6:43 am

ooh, latex or oil, featherbee?

6:43 am

youre*

6:43 am

latex of course

6:43 am

I'll check it out today ---

6:43 am

color: puce

6:44 am

oooh..jewish mother guilt trip..am good at that one... I had a great mentor for that one

6:44 am

let me guess..no one is truly enjoying today's grid?

6:44 am

looool just interpreting your words :) in an amusing and contentious way :) so were your old friends nicer than us?

6:44 am

and a proud tradition it is too carlee

6:45 am

I think it's a toughie today.

6:45 am

the X is fun, but the grid is overall kind of tedious today.

6:45 am

am sure it is... I rarely use it...

6:45 am

nicer????.... shall we say.....slightly stranger...

6:45 am

Stranger than us?

6:46 am

wow

6:46 am

definitely

6:46 am

Atalante, is she being nicer to them or us? Do you know if rolin likes strange?

6:46 am

ok.mkaing breakie....eggs and toast... although I could really go for a poached agg am not sure am up to making one

6:46 am

I have approval issues.

6:46 am

I think she's trying to sit on the fence and not say

6:46 am

lol...

6:46 am

oh, good to know that the grid stinks.

6:46 am

i won't be starting it today then!

6:47 am

i kind of like it...much more interesting than yesterday's

6:47 am

just be strange in the chat

6:47 am

i tell you what...i will never doubt the efficacy of a bike rider leathers any more...

6:48 am

i just glanced out of my window to see a bike rider sliding along the major road way...having just been knocked off his bike

6:48 am

just..being earlier this morning

6:48 am

ouch!

6:48 am

I would wince, but people would look.

6:48 am

ouch. hope s/he's okay.

6:49 am

he was fine...i made him a cup of coffee... his leathers were shredded tho.. no wonder they wear them

6:49 am

yes, the leathers are a life-saver

6:49 am

denim's good for that, too.

6:49 am

now, here in rhode island, the opposite of success is falia.

6:49 am

You are a good woman, rolin.

6:49 am

leathers and a helmet

6:50 am

yes, atalante, i presumed the helmet, though in Ohio, they don't require them, and many don't wear them.

6:50 am

oooh hursh...did you see the one i wanted yeasterday..or maybe the day before....??..'uneek'..

6:50 am

lol, here in Massachusetts, too, hursh

6:50 am

it's the enable game! :)

6:51 am

youre kidding dc...??..its not a by-law?

6:51 am

we likes our freedom here, even if it kills us

6:51 am

not in Ohio, and MD still has an exemption for people with class-M (motorcycle) licenses granted prior to, if i recall, 1990.

6:52 am

i'm sure other states have exeptions and/or non-requirements also.

clue for the at 6 please

add a cons't to the 5 green

6:52 am

yes, well said, hurshy

6:52 am

if you have an at6 problem it's in your heart

6:52 am

hi hurshy! My beloved and I went to Boston a couple weeks ago to celebrate birthdays/anniversary, and did the Trolley Tour and a harbor cruise --- it's really quite beautiful downtown.

6:53 am

ouch. helmets are good. very good.

ty

6:53 am

yes, boston is rather nice for a city

6:53 am

Anyway, I thought of you while we were looking around. We had lunch in "little Italy" -- mmmm!

6:54 am

but i didn't go there, ch, did you never hear? i moved to RI instead.

6:54 am

No helmets required in New Hampshire either. Or seatbelts. It's not for nothing their state slogan is "Live Free or Die"

6:54 am

the north end is a lovely place, ch1212. They're a buyring ground at the top of it with lovely views off toward charlestown.

6:54 am

i want to come acr0oss to new england in the autumn one year

6:54 am

It's beautiful, rolin. Many lovely little towns, too.

6:54 am

i8nge2 ..it should be...live free AND die

6:54 am

OH! I thought you were in Boston! LOL! Okay, never mind...

6:55 am

Lol, Rolin...that's what one child actually said at a school assembly!

6:55 am

Thanks for the tip DC -- we've gone twice now, and hope to get more exploring in over the next year or so. It's also an expensive town :)

6:56 am

but when it comes to the patriot act, i'm inclined to agree with NH.

6:56 am

ok.....well...looks like my time is up....i better go do some work.. see you all later...

6:56 am

It is...come out to Concord and Lexington ch1212, you wil enjoy them too

6:56 am

Bye, rolin.

6:56 am

Compared to DC, Boston is not expensive - i like visiting there, and may be up there for MLK weekend, if my work schedule allows.

6:56 am

bye, rolin

6:57 am

hello and bye rolin

6:57 am

later rolin

6:57 am

good morning afternoon evening babblers

6:57 am

that's the trouble with us americans, our priorities are out of whack. if we torture people and detain them without cause, people don't really care. but if we make you wear a helmet or a seatbelt...

6:57 am

We've been to Concord twice now, and took my daughter and son-in-law a few weeks ago. Concord is (so far) my favorite town. LOVE Orchard House, of course.

6:57 am

That's where I live, ch1212. :-)

6:57 am

exactly hurshy...

6:58 am

Ah, we're practically neighbors. We're in the North Quabbin region.

6:58 am

What...I think I know...Athol?

6:58 am

A friend and i accidentally ended up in Concord once, having gone out Mass Rt 2 to NH, missing 95. We were on our way to Portland.

6:58 am

oh dear, i used a grid word. oopsie.

6:59 am

Love the Quabbin

6:59 am

Indeed! It's a quaint town.

6:59 am

oooh whats a quabbin? thats a good babble word

6:59 am

Well, time for me to go. Hopefully I can return under my own steam (is the internet steam compatible?) in the next day or two.

6:59 am

Ah, most go paint windows before work...But before I leave, what's this with the Harrod's using cobras to guard their shoe collection?! http://tinyurl.com/ysegx3

7:00 am

take care haz....

7:00 am

bye Haz see you soon take care

7:00 am

Atalante, Quabbin, like Chopawamsick, Pohick, and many ohers, is a native name for a place or geographic feature, like a river.

7:00 am

hope to see you soon!

7:00 am

steampunk is indeed big on the internet Haz. Bye all

7:00 am

OH has haz been having internet troubles??? i wondered where you were!

7:00 am

I will. See you soon!

7:00 am

LOL Atalante! I don't know, but I think it's the large body of water that supplies Boston with fresh water. Created in the 1930's, and 5 local towns were destroyed in the process.

7:00 am

Troubles is an understatement, hurshy, but hoping that all will be restored soon.

7:01 am

i hope so too!

7:01 am

Anyway, be good and I'll be back soon.

7:01 am

*scraps mischievous plans*

7:02 am

wow..been here an hour and still don't have 40 words found..this NOT good

7:02 am

theres always times when Haz's back is turned ...

7:03 am

carlee, did you find the 2 Xs?

7:03 am

Me too, carleekat -- it's a toughie today

7:03 am

yeap... I got them

7:04 am

i don't got them i don't got them!

7:04 am

The Xs are a flower variant and an adj from it.

7:05 am

how many letters are the x words?

7:05 am

the 6 sounds like haz and her addiction to babble she in de****

7:05 am

4 and 5

7:05 am

ty

7:05 am

the 5 is minus the last letter

7:05 am

sorry, 5 & 6 are the Xs

7:05 am

i'd not seen the li8 without a prefix before, though it makes sense.

7:06 am

ok..so... I am in my usual predicament... WHAT to make for dinner tonight...is cool out...

7:06 am

thanks for that one too dc

7:06 am

stroganoff!

7:07 am

its not a fav of theirs

7:07 am

oh, yw, hurshy, i didn't think that last one would clue anything, but there it was. :)

7:07 am

i LOVE it..they are "eh....whatever"

7:07 am

slow cooked pot of spicy bean soup and hot bread!

7:08 am

spicy bean soup....hmmm

7:08 am

i gotta go, ttfn

7:08 am

later, hurshy

7:08 am

hot garlic cheesy bread ... mmmmm

7:09 am

bye hurshy

7:09 am

i have a recipe for a nice corn, bean, and squash soup i can send you, it's a nice base for going in lots of different directions.

7:09 am

later hursh...and thanks for that 8 dc

7:09 am

i'd love it dc..but...the crowd here is anti veggie...

7:10 am

dc, I would like that! Or you could post the recipe in your profile if others would too

7:10 am

its very limiting in the kitchen

7:10 am

i can imagine!

7:10 am

and the other big limitation is "meat shoudl NEVER be mixed with fruit"

7:11 am

drives me CUCKOO

7:11 am

So... no fresh cranberries with the turkey? No apricot chicken? :(

7:11 am

so no more tomato meat sauce for them. :P

7:12 am

no pork chops with apples or ham with pineapple? even those basics?

7:12 am

no duck l'orange?

7:12 am

( shhhhh..tomatoes don't count as they are prinicpal ingredient for ketchup )

7:12 am

nope...not done feather...

7:12 am

oops, my bad

7:12 am

wow

7:13 am

if you make your own sauces, a puree of carrot can be added without anyone noticing.

7:13 am

i know..NOW u all see my situation when I am forever looking for recipes

7:14 am

oh poop. literally. nick did one and is now falling asleep on my legs

7:14 am

hahaha....they'd notice... I used to make my own baby food and whatever wasn't getting used up ( peas..or carrots or squash) that needed to be used...I woudl do that dc....no good....so I ended upjust putting themin home made beef barley soup...

7:14 am

I'd do what my mum did. Mash the vegs up and deny all knowledge of their existence if anyone asks

7:14 am

my mother used to mince mushrooms into things so my father would eat them.

7:15 am

i hate waking him!

7:15 am

its better then listening to him howl in pain from diaper rash feather

7:15 am

ah, well done, carlee.

7:16 am

sigh. brb

7:16 am

will they eat tuna steak?

7:16 am

so...fruits and veggies aside... any food suggestions?... good god no dc..its fish

7:16 am

think..MEAT AND POTATOES

7:16 am

¡Ay dios mio! how very frustrating, carlee.

7:16 am

meat ='s boneless chicken, beef or pork

7:17 am

sauerkraut?

7:17 am

lamb?

7:17 am

7:19 am

7:21 am

7:21 am

minced beef, onions topped with potato, grated cheese too if liked

7:21 am

crap...I really wonder if I marreid into the right family at times

7:21 am

7:22 am

sounds like shephard's pie: ground beef on bottom, corn next, mashed potatoes on top, gravy

7:22 am

ah shepherds is with lamb :)

7:22 am

cottage with beef

7:22 am

beef and stuff with a mashed potato topping. no, is different to shepherds pie

7:22 am

7:22 am

156

7:22 am

7:23 am

i grew up with lamb in shepherd's pie. Lamb and goat were my faves growing up.

7:23 am

lamb not popular?? why!!

7:24 am

oh i LOVE goat...but... alas... canada and USA are beef and pork happy ( and I don't do pork )

7:24 am

too cute

7:24 am

Thanks

7:24 am

7:25 am

oh :( thats a shame. lamb is just the yummiest

7:25 am

we don't use much goat here

7:25 am

I agree Ata...my fav

7:26 am

thats true too.,, whenever hubby is out of town for a night...kids KNOW is lamb nite and they come to the table starving...there is never lamb leftovers no matter HOW much I prepare

7:26 am

7:27 am

ah fell bak asleep on my shoulder

7:29 am

I think a slow cooked pot roast it is.... ugh... i swear if I see another mashed potato I will end up in the loony bin

7:30 am

throw the potatoes in with the roast, they're yummy that way.

7:30 am

yeap...I do... but..oh nevermind...u will think I am exagerating... so we will leave it to that

7:31 am

alas, i think i'd believe that you've had nothing but potatoes at every meal for years at this point.

7:31 am

7:43 am

LOLOL G'd morning non-lurking Esprit. :)

7:43 am

i worte those down dc... will check them out...always into trying out new music ( to me new )

7:43 am

I strongly recommend Pink Martini, they do a wide variety of stuff, and their albums are are nicely danceable, speaking as one who does classic ballroom.

7:44 am

hahaha...classic ballroom..another one of those things have always wanted to try... my taste is... way far east of here I am afraid....

7:46 am

Madredeus i like, both their fado and non-fado stuff. Sadly, they've not been her in the states since i found out about them.

7:47 am

oh, carlee, the baklawa you posted sounds lovely, i'l lhave to try that a day, likely week after next when i have days off and am in town.

7:48 am

thanks... that is our "short cut version" when preparing for over 500 people...

7:48 am

when doing for fewer I make the sugar water instead of honey... and I add extra types of nuts to the mix

7:48 am

ah like the recipe for felafel from my friend that makes 40 pounds.

7:48 am

sugar water, a simple syrup?

7:50 am

hmm..been a while since I made the syrup as I am forever doign the MASS BAKE... I think is 2 cup water to 1 cup sugar and 2- 3 tsp of lemon juice..boil until thinkens but does not darken and pour immediately over the baklawa....

7:51 am

ah yes, so a simple syrup with a spot of lemon. Good to know. Though i like honey a lot.

7:51 am

ur friend who makes 40 pounds falafel will know

7:51 am

the honey is greek... the sugar syrup is arab

7:51 am

ah good point, marianne does make baklava.

7:52 am

( there no "v" in arabic alphabet )

7:52 am

10 words in like 10 minutes is a bad thing......

7:53 am

I warned u lori..to RUN....did u listen..noooooo...so NO sympathies

7:53 am

Lori, use the power of the X

7:53 am

C'mon now, that's harsh talk to a Babble addict carlee.... :)

7:54 am

Way ahead of ya' dc. Word totals are my guiding light this morn.... :)

7:54 am

I am about to give up entirely lori... else I will be here at midnite tonight should I continue at my present rate

7:55 am

Keep the faith carlee. I know you can do it!

7:55 am

yes, the point returns today are good.

7:55 am

i know I can to...question is..DO i WANT to?

7:56 am

Face it carlee, 'yer as hooked as the rest of us....

7:56 am

yeap..I am...but I bore easily and if I start to get bored...am done

7:56 am

8:14 am

G'd mornign Evan

8:14 am

good deal, Lori.

8:15 am

These words are beyond whacked. they're mental!

8:15 am

how is everyone today?

8:15 am

Great Evan. And you?

8:15 am

Ok, Eva and you?

8:16 am

I just noticed I don't have any of the 13 "A" words in the left column :(

8:16 am

still a bit under the weather (not sure yet if its a cold or allergies) but ok enough to be at work... (would rather be at home, all snuggled in bed though!)

8:16 am

hope you feel better Eva

8:17 am

thanks :)

8:17 am

Recover soone Evan!

clue for de 8 please

8:19 am

Hi Greenbay, sorry I don't have the de 8

hi Mom.. that's ok

8:20 am

de + 24th letter + in****sically important

ty

8:21 am

add a vowel for the 8

8:22 am

what kind of important, Lori?

8:23 am

de + 24th letter + ****ity (prefix ) meaning 3

8:23 am

or how about de + 24th letter + a ****ket or bauble

8:23 am

de+ 24th letter + the holy ****ity

8:24 am

thank you Lori and Carlee. Feeling very dense now.

8:24 am

phantom word: exile

8:24 am

With this grid Mom? No way.....

8:25 am

Yah Evan. No matter how many times I entered that, no go.

8:25 am

yes. This is going to be a thorn in my side. I rather not deal with words starting with a vowel but there are a bunch of those

8:26 am

hints on the X words?

8:26 am

I count 36 A words. A bunch are armpit-related words.

8:27 am

i actually have XE5 -- its a town in ohio where i used to have a friend...heh

8:27 am

I just got one of them Eva ...

8:27 am

Think the Warrior Princess and add a vowel before the last letter. Then make it an adjective by adding one consonant

8:27 am

thanks inge2

8:28 am

Thank you Inge, now I don't have to type it out. :) and good morning

8:28 am

yw. fun grid tho

8:29 am

8:29 am

you are doing great Lori.

8:29 am

i am having the hardest time convincing my 2 year old that people, especially 2 year olds, CAN NOT FLY. Damn that Super Grover!

8:29 am

really dense now ... armpit related?

8:30 am

the medical term for an armpit

8:30 am

starts with hatchet

8:30 am

well now I know where all the vowels came from for yesterday's puzzle... today's puzzle

8:30 am

there..ok.. I canNOW find something ELSE to do

8:30 am

hey tiny

9:29 am

Hi Tiny how are you?

9:29 am

hi

9:29 am

hi Tiny !

9:29 am

I'm back. DC! How do you peel squash? I took your suggestion earlier to carlee and am going to make the bean-squash-corn soup. I bought a butternut squash and will cube it up.... but I don't have a potato peeler, just a paring knife. Will that work?

hi Tiny

9:29 am

hi caitlyn I am doing ok

it will work ch

9:29 am

Hi ch1212

just be careful

9:29 am

i steam the squash to just scoopable, scoop it out, add to soup as thickener and let it chunk as it will.

9:30 am

if peeling raw, i use a very large knife to cut it up, then cut the skin off

9:30 am

Ah... I like that idea better. Much easier. Thanks!

9:30 am

as long as it is very sharp ch...but...why not pop into oven and bake / roast it until ready

good idea dc that makes it much easier

9:30 am

Caitlyn how have you been

9:31 am

I'm thinking of slow cooker with black beans, corn, peppers, onions, paprika, garlic .... what else?

9:31 am

1:32 pm

time management....I have x hours and y things to do and x and y already don't equal

1:48 pm

It is amazing, I get paid to sit and do nothing.

1:48 pm

Oh, the market has really tanked lately... unless the Fed does something for the "little" people...

1:48 pm

BORING after months of it.

1:48 pm

THAT would drive me more then bendy...

1:48 pm

fortunately up here our market is still thriving..its..nuts actually

1:49 pm

Yeah, kat... you and I are perpetual motion... LOL

1:49 pm

I am looking for a new job but cannot find one that pays close to what I make. Maybe I will move to Canada. lol

1:49 pm

red..I'd be finding a way to start my own business whilst setting there twiddling my thumbs

1:50 pm

Money is the ultimate seduction, isn't it.... we say it doesn't matter, but when there is none... Right,kat... I can't do just one thing... I have to have music as my soothing influence, though...

1:50 pm

ugh...and in alberta... the people working at mc donalds are being paid 20.00+ / hour and the restaurant is closing at 8 pm cus not enough staff to run it

1:50 pm

WHAT???

1:53 pm

I want to go back to school and get into the Medical Assistant program. I need to get out of the mortgage industry, too much of a roller coaster ride.

1:53 pm

ty debjed

1:54 pm

CLC... honestly, what is not a roller coaster ride in this world today?

1:54 pm

yea... but its doing so much damage to the environment..the heat generated...and co2 to crete the heat needed to steam out theoil

1:55 pm

Scarlet - I know but I want something that does not involve commission.

1:55 pm

Hasn't the environment always taken a beating when it comes to fossil fuels and "progress"....errggg, don't get me on a soapbox!

1:55 pm

Besides, this was my husbands interest, not mine. Now that I got rid of him it is time to get out of this business.

1:55 pm

That sounds reasonable, CLC... it's tough on a comission basis...

1:56 pm

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." --- Frank Herbert, Dune - Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear

4:07 pm

Yes, TO

4:07 pm

4:07 pm

My first apartment, really a duplex, here in this wooded development is called Schwarzen Lowen Haus.

considering I don't speak German, you can't pick on my spelling :-)

cake = kuchen, ja?

Wow, doxy--you live on a real mountain. I am on a big hill.

4:15 pm

In fact, originally Michigan was under teh ocean. When it froze and retreated it left a bunch of holes we call teh Great Lakes

4:15 pm

I live in a valley. the mountains are about 7,000 t- 13,000 feet.

TY, doxy

4:34 pm

Gee, am sorry to hear that. Snoopy comes out of his soup can less often

4:34 pm

He is my last hamster of many that I have had since my nephews were young--- probably since 1994. I think I will not get a new hamster as the bunnies keep me busy enough.

4:35 pm

ra7 please

4:35 pm

Does your hamster live in a cage or does he get the run of the house like the bunnies?

4:36 pm

He is in a cage, Inge, or else I would never find him. Whenever a hamster has escaped the hide-and-go-seek is no fun!

4:36 pm

4:36 pm

4:38 pm

4:38 pm

playdoh and animals explosion

4:38 pm

okay, was looking in the wrong direction

4:38 pm

friends of ours bought a new house and their son's hamster escaped right away. He ran down one of the heat registers. When the house started smelling, they sued the builder (not telling him of the missing hamster of course)

4:38 pm

ne 6 is to straighten up, which is what feather is doing now

4:38 pm

4:41 pm

I know it feather. my daughter (granddaughter's mom) does not help me too much in that area. she has resorted back to the "child" mode.

4:42 pm

i pretty much have resorted to cleaning once or twice a day. and i get daniel to help with it, at least some of it.

4:43 pm

Abbie with help pick up her toys if we direct her. she is good about it.

4:43 pm

you should see how fast he cleans when threatened with the basket of animals going "up high" if mommy ends up doing it all by herself!

4:43 pm

5:03 pm

i haven't been here very long, didn't see ata on at all.

5:04 pm

it was about an hour ago.

5:05 pm

No, hurshy, but I responded by asking if the transcendental vector forces needed to be aligned? Then I looked up the word "antipodean".

5:05 pm

i saw that bit sc before i logged out.

5:06 pm

Wow, I suddenly got fireworks and I didn't know I was that close! TY all for clues!

5:06 pm

My vocab is not as big as yours, Hursh, although I know scientific and medical words.

5:07 pm

I knew I was down to 6 and I just used the list as a guide and then I was done.

5:08 pm

The other night Doren was surprised to finish and I wondered how that happened, and now I know. I was in the "Babble Zone".

5:11 pm

Can I use a Borders gift card on Amazon? Borders is teamed with Amazon.

5:11 pm

I watched just 2 minutes of the video.

5:11 pm

yes, you can but you have to make sure you start out by going to borders.com rather than amazon.com

5:11 pm

which means you can't pull things straight off your wishlist, you have to find them via the search.

5:12 pm

i was wondering where you went chic, forgot about the video. :-)

5:12 pm

OK, TY, hursh.

5:12 pm

and it won't let you redeem more than one in a single order

5:13 pm

which can be very irritating.

5:16 pm

Yes, Hursh, I am getting very irritated as I end up on Amazon and not Borders and I suspect as I will get to my final ordering step that the gift card will not be acceptable. I guess I will go to a brick-and-mortar Borders tomorrow.

5:17 pm

7:04 pm

I haven't Jellen

7:05 pm

I use a Palm T5, Jellen. Has wi-fi, but is not a phone.

7:05 pm

Bemused and bewildered by all the options :-P

7:06 pm

I gave up on those when my palm pilot blew up and I lost all my addresses and stuff, give me a plain old pen and paper please, lol

7:06 pm

What do you need it to do for you?

7:06 pm

I have a Palm T3 that I'm thinking of replacing, plus I have to get a new cell phone plan, so I thought I'd combine the two.

7:07 pm

That is the half way mark for me. See everyone tomorrow. Pleasant dreams to all. :)

7:07 pm

There's the new iphone.....

7:07 pm

I use my Palm mainly for scheduling, but I have other programs as well.

pricey, but I guess it does everything. I use my Palm T5 for almost everything, and have a cheap tracphone for emergencies.

7:09 pm

I don't think I'd use the web browser much. I'm home most of the time.

7:09 pm

You said you had wi-fi. So you can browse the internet wherever wireless connections are?

7:13 pm

Big question--Can you babble on your Palm?

7:14 pm

ohhh, i could see that as a big danger! lol

7:14 pm

Definitely, lbd :-)

7:15 pm

"but officer, that word isn't in the grid!"

7:16 pm

7:17 pm

And I have ADD.

7:19 pm

brb

7:21 pm

i'm one of those very intense drivers, i don't like all the distractions that come with a lot of the new cars. my motto is, drive or be a passenger.

7:23 pm
