2:44 am

2:45 am

2:49 am

bye lynxxx and hi sprite, i was on phone when you came in

2:49 am

hi Andree :)

2:50 am

hi andree

2:51 am

and hi mva

2:51 am

ta6/18 please

2:52 am

I think I have one on my arm

2:53 am

actually I am happy it is finally a word for once, and not a phantom, lol. I see this word in many grids and it is never all there.

2:54 am

thx sprite

2:54 am

yw

2:57 am

my daughter has said she wants a ta 6/18!

2:57 am

oo4 :) And how old is she?

2:58 am

18

2:58 am

ai! That is not easy then... I think you'd rather have she waited a few more years. But will she?

2:59 am

she knows her own mind and can be stubborn!!

3:00 am

at 18, what can you do?

3:00 am

I bet! I really hope she will wait a little longer... and if she does not, she will pick one small and truly HER, and not some adolescent thing.

3:01 am

she has been teasing me and looking on the computer for pictures with huge ta7/28!!!

3:01 am

well i hope she's teasing!!

3:02 am

omg, LOL, I hope so too! Well, you can tell her from me, if it is really the ta6 she wants, it will be the same one over a few years and nothing is lost with waiting.

3:02 am

when i was nursing many moons ago, we had a plastic surgery unit where 1/2 the patients were young kids trying to get tattoos removed from hands and obvious places to get a job, i think things have moved on since but she should get a nice subtle butterfly or simmilar on ankle or shoulder etc

3:03 am

at 18 i can do nothing because she is an adult, i can't say NO can i?

3:03 am

friends tattooist's advice: print out pic that she wants, stick it to bathroom mirror. if she can look at it every day for a year and still want it, then go ahead

3:03 am

not somewhere she cannot hide it from a prospective employer

3:03 am

I know a daughter of a friend of mine, who was so totally certain she wanted a ta6 that her mother allowed it at 14. But I must add that she had picked a very subtle small rosebud, and she wanted it on her shoulderblade.

3:04 am

good idea ata!

3:04 am

good advice ata

3:04 am

very good advice!

3:04 am

shoulder blade is good

3:04 am

no, you cannot tell her no, but you can talk :) And hope she will take your words with her when she decides.

3:05 am

makes you realise that it'll be there for ever! and that you can't get sick of it

3:05 am

the girl never ever regretted it, nor did my friend for allowing it. But it is a real exception.

3:05 am

going to make breakfast now, thanks for the advice, bbl .... and we do talk sprite which is good

3:06 am

I was over 30 when I got my first one. And only one so far, although my beautiful friend Ata has designed the next one, which is almost ready... and will be continued once I have refound myself. :D

3:06 am

:):):):)

3:06 am

*hugs MVA* You are a great mum and she knows it... I bet your advice has more weight than you realise ;)

3:06 am

i've always wanted a ta6/18 but my husband hates them!!

3:07 am

oh, that is a shame! They can be so beautiful!

3:07 am

but I admit I have seen more ugly ones than beauties :D

3:07 am

i know!

3:07 am

well thats good cos your daughter will know you aren't anti them, just making sure she does it right

3:08 am

she will, she looks at things in detail then decides... off now, bye all

3:08 am

it is a very important choice... there is no way to get rid of it ever again. Not even with laser or plastic surgery... there will always be something left that reminds you of it.

3:09 am

bye MVA!

3:11 am

owwww I found my last P and it is edible and I am proud I found it myself :D That is another word I never seem to sp4.

3:12 am

hmmm! think thats the P i'm missing!

3:13 am

it might be one of those ocean words for you as well, Ata... those words that are so obvious and yet they always seem to hide from our view :D

3:13 am

I think so!

3:14 am

will not clue it for you unless you ask me to :D

3:14 am

too little words for today as it is already, I think ;)

3:14 am

4 letters?

3:15 am

3:43 am

Good morning all. Long time no see. Cricket season has ended.......more time to babble!

3:48 am

thanks flask! have a great day.

3:48 am

hi Frances!

3:48 am

4 left!

3:49 am

Hello Fran. I was so sorry to hear about your sister. Thought of you often. How are you?

3:49 am

i'm doing fine Frances. :-) she really is in a better place, i don't have to worry about her anymore.

3:51 am

I know. We always worry about those far away. Did I also hear that there was an earthquake in or near Guam?

3:52 am

it must not have been a big one, Guam has earthquakes daily. i felt one that had to be about 4.0 on my first day back there.

3:53 am

oh wait, i did hear about that one. it happened while my sister and i were driving around so we didn't feel it.

3:53 am

like i said, they are a daily occurence and people there just take them in stride.

3:53 am

I thought I heard that it was about 7.4

3:54 am

wow, that's pretty big, the center must have been pretty far.

3:55 am

i was in Guam for the 8.1, now that was scary.

3:56 am

Never been in an earthquake. Was caught in a typhoon in Hong Kong years ago. My son who was about seven at the time was horizontal hanging onto a flagpole on the roof of the hotel (swimming pool). Very scary!

3:57 am

wow! that would have been terrifying! at his age though he probably thought it was a little fun too?

3:58 am

i can't believe they didn't get you all inside before the storm hit!

3:58 am

Best talking point for months for him.

3:59 am

i'm sure!

3:59 am

We were a bit surprised at how quickly it hit and yes, it was very frightening.

4:01 am

these days the weather models are so accurate, i would be surprised if that kind of thing happened anymore...at least for typhoons.

4:01 am

fireworks...easy today huh?

4:01 am

hey sean! definitely not as difficult as yesterday.

4:02 am

i have 4 left and trying not to look at the list.

4:02 am

yesterday was a toughie, no too long but hard all the same

4:03 am

yep, those 100 - 150 ones i find are the most challenging.

4:03 am

excusing double entendres of course

4:04 am

6:42 am

yes yoda!

6:43 am

Good morning everyone. Featherbee, you are up early, getting some Babble time in while it is quiet.

6:43 am

my last word, to5,12 please

6:43 am

yep, while the house is asleep

6:43 am

and why is "sotto" not accepted? sotto voice?

6:43 am

hi scrabbler...

6:44 am

never knew my feather was such an early bird.

6:44 am

It is an Italian word, sotto voce. Or maybe Latin too.

6:44 am

morning nut, how you feeling?

6:44 am

hi nut, how are u ?

6:44 am

great of course!

6:44 am

hi scrabs...and nut

6:44 am

excellent!

6:44 am

You know the saying, "The early bird gets the words."

6:44 am

after all, the wedding is OVER!!!, but i don't think my feet will ever forgive me.

6:45 am

hi carlee

6:45 am

6:46 am

cool nutty. where are you now?

6:46 am

6:47 am

Enjoy the drive, Nut. I was at Presque Isle on Friday, kayaking, and thought about heading down to Butler to find you.

6:47 am

danville, pa, east of state college.

6:47 am

my mom went to loch haven

6:47 am

would that be fun scrabs! we should meet a halfway sometime

6:47 am

we go past state college whenever we go to my grandma's (near altoona)

6:48 am

aha...see, babblers could meet in pa

6:48 am

lach haven? think i spelled it wrong

6:49 am

i think loch feather

6:49 am

Great idea, Nut. I saw a pirate ship in Presque Isle Bay and thought of you, Nut. Or, WAS that you?

6:49 am

brain's not awake yet

6:50 am

gonna have to pack soon and round the troops up to go to cracker barrel...mmmmmmm cracker barrel feather, did the ship say 'divine sea hag' or 'sycophant sea truckler' - the sst is bad, we're looking for that one.

6:50 am

to5,12 please

6:50 am

yum

6:50 am

Cracker

6:50 am

i think nut just switched my personality on me

6:51 am

Cracker Barrel

6:51 am

oops - hey i was drunk last night, cut me a break

6:51 am

No, it was me that saw the ship, Nut, and I didn't see the name as we weren't that close. We were also trying to discretely skinny-dip and avoid arrest.

6:52 am

SCRABS! I'm shocked (and amused)

6:52 am

Bubba, I just started so I don't have it, but I will look.

6:52 am

grinning here myself

6:53 am

Got it, thanks Scrabbler, Fireworks

6:53 am

yay bubba

6:53 am

i have the best vid from the wedding, i'll post it on the cast site when i get home.

6:53 am

As I was walking into the water (shallow for 100 ft or so) a helicopter took off from Erie and I thought it was either Eyewitness News coming to film me, or the police coming to arrest me.

6:53 am

LOL

6:54 am

wtg bubba !

6:54 am

i'd prefer both scrabs

6:54 am

We were able to swim peacefully with a gaggle of Canada geese.

6:54 am

ok, my two zero boxes: left most O, and bottom most A. anyone have them?

6:55 am

I am still looking for the E--"gas" word, so I am focused on "fart".

6:56 am

think valdez scrabs

6:56 am

cripes guys, everytime i look at podcast alley we're slipping...who haven't i harassed yet ...

6:56 am

Oh, that is a word? Got it--TY, Carlee!

6:56 am

7:05 am

hi miffy - dont have that one yet

7:05 am

7:06 am

tx carlee !

7:06 am

that the to5,12

7:06 am

Is that the to5,10?

7:07 am

to5,10 is either a sound a little train makes....or your car horn....and the other u have spread with jam

7:07 am

Oops, my mistake, I need the first 5, 10 then. Sorry.

7:08 am

Oh of course...thanks carlee. Fancy being stuck on what you have with jam! That means fireworks. Anyone want any clues before I go?

Heigh ho, you all. should've been in bed a couple of hours ago but this grid just kept going and going, like that darned bunny (if you've seen the ads). One more and I can gaze blearily at the pretty squibs and trundle off to bed. I need your help. please: to5,12 ??

7:22 am

7:24 am

going blind with 12 to go - BBL - bye all for now

7:25 am

Montreal thanx -- I must have tried everything But. ...the downside is that I didn't get fireworks and I'm not sure what I missed. Are there more than 80 words?

7:25 am

no - 80 it is jwr

7:25 am

way to go JWR !

7:26 am

must go now - "poof"

7:28 am

oh. *downcast mien* My "trial period" has expired, so ... no fireworks I guess. What am I talking about. It's only the second time I've finished. I shall hold my head up proudly ... well, as high as I can considering it's weight on the sleepy neck ... satisfying though. g'nite.

good morning all

7:30 am

G'd morning green. G'd morning Babblers!

7:31 am

Hey! Give me back my typist..... :-)

7:31 am

7:32 am

79.. need a clue for the st 5/10

7:32 am

I was hoping for a big Sunday grid. Alas 'tis not.

7:32 am

st + grain

7:33 am

7:33 am

G'd morning craggus

7:36 am

hi everyone could i please have a clue for the ta8 please

7:36 am

7:36 am

I cant figure out Hurshy.. I think im very nervous ;P

7:39 am

yw

7:39 am

yw

7:43 am

any clues needed before i leave?

Morning Babblers

7:47 am

G'd morning nono.

7:48 am

This was a quickie grid. :(

wtg lori!

I still say we are going to get hit with a monster grid soon

7:51 am

Yep. Prob'ally on a day I work LOL

7:51 am

I'm gonna need to watch a while. Brand new to me.

7:52 am

It'll give me more time to spend in the kitchen. We're having our turkey today.

we are being lulled to sleep and laziness with all these small ones..... a big one will hurt LOL

oh yummy.... right tomorrow is your Thanksgiving isnt it

welcome brzn

7:53 am

You got that right nono. A big grid will sneak up on us. Yes, tomorrow is Thanksgiving here.

7:53 am

G'd morning brzn. Lots of resources on the bottom left hand corner. It's a very addictive word game.....

Its a big tourist weekend for us here.... all the canadians come down to see our fall foiliage

only thing is the fall colors have really only just started this year

7:55 am

It is the same here Nono, everything is later this year. Our leaves have barely started

we havent even had a frost yet and thats unusual

7:57 am

We've had 2 frosts. Here it is a week of October gone already.

I know.... my tomatos are still going strong

normally have the garden all cleaned up by columbus day

7:58 am

yah, Dad is still bringing in mateys, he said he's never had a better year for them.

7:59 am

I have to mow the lawn again as well. Temps have been fabulous.

yep same here

calling for upper 70's today

80's again mid week

8:04 am

Really, this whole global warming thing is fine with me. I don't think it's that so much as calendar shift LOL this year is following the path like last year. January is historically a brutal month here, that happened in February instead. I find everything is a month late

yes we never had snow last year til late January but got hit with a brutal storm in February

even that was all melted in nearly a week

8:08 am

January is our traditional school cancellation month. January, 1 day off. February 10. each one totally correct. Even if they had school I would not have sent the kids. It was a brutal weather month, as I say 1 month behind.

8:09 am

Good morning, Nono and LoriP. Still no monster grid... but I am still in the "duck mode" when it comes... or, is that wishful thinking? LOL

G'morning Scarlet

8:10 am

How are you today, Nono? This grid looks like a zoomer.

8:10 am

Fireworks here, but no vid.:(

8:10 am

Good morning, lizmac, and congratulations! No video?

its moving along nicely Scarlet

8:10 am

great grid, pretty easy.

congrats liz!!

8:11 am

Congrats Liz, G'd morning Miss Scarlet. 15 minutes, tops

8:11 am

That's kind of what I thought, Nono. Thanks, liz... i knocked out 32 words in a few minutes.\

8:11 am

I'll try rebooting and see if that helps.

liz try refreshing babble first

good afternoon everyone

8:12 am

Gee, Lori... that's good for the Sunday football games and more torture tonight with the MLB! Hi, T&T!

8:13 am

G'd morning t&t. Miss Scarlet, Go Bears! :-)

morning t&t

having contractions. cervix is open and 1/2 effaced... may have a new babbler in a few days. using babble right now to distract me

8:15 am

I love those Bears, Lor... but the Cubbies took me to the altar and left before the ceremony! *Sob*... Not the year for my guys... the Mets died, so it will have to be...........OHMIGOSH, T&T, you are on the way!! :-)

woohooo t&t

sorry 1/3 effaced.. not half

8:16 am

That's a good start t&t. :-)

have been able to talk to husband 2 times already. he's suppose to try to call again tonight if he can

8:16 am

Yah Scarlet, the Cubbies are back on golf mode.....

8:17 am

And crying all winter long... so are the cursed Phillies... they couldn't take ONE game? Bah!

oh good you have been in contact with him.... Is your mom there now?

why isn't poos a word?

8:17 am

#3 is now a confirmed Bears fan. He can't wait for the game.

8:17 am

'Cause the little tadpole won't let it be!

lol

8:18 am

I am a Kansas City Chief's fan, Lor, but have always loved the Bears... Walter Payton is, and will always be, my favorite player of all time!

8:18 am

I tried poos. As a Mom of 4, I fully believe it to be a word!

No they will be here in a week, Nono

8:19 am

Well, #3 is in for a lifetime of pain and suffering until the Bears get a QB. Also he's in a house full of Pats fans. LOL

8:20 am

Got my video...It's seriously aaaaaahhhh.

8:20 am

You can't help but admire New England, Lor... they always find a way to win, and Brady is still young, yet. As for the Bears, Sexy Rexy Gross-MAN really bit!

gj liz

Bears only slightly better than my team..... The Bills

showed signs of hope last week with new QB

8:22 am

Scarlet, a good friend of ours calls him Wrecks Grossman, and with good reason.

8:22 am

OH, Nono... you and Tim Russert still love their guys...

8:22 am

Good play, Lor... LOL... Marv Levy is now the elder statesman...

8:23 am

Brady is the man. The guy is cool as a cuke, with guys behind him allowing him to make things happen. The Pats are a cohesive group. A real team.

8:23 am

AND Randy Moss don't hurt a bit, do he? LOL

was tough thru the years of bringing up my boys... neiter of them like the Bills..... one is a Steeler guy and the other a Cowboy

wahoo my names in the grid for the 3rd time in a row

we are a very diverse household LOL

yep noticed that right off the bat t&t

8:25 am

I've noticed in the post game stuff, Brady always spreads credit. that is so important. he always says something like "so and so did X, to allow Y to happen".

8:25 am

We lived in Pennsylvania for years, and were bombarded with the &%#@( Eagles.... I never felt any passion for them... but, the Steelers, on the other hand, gave us some great years. I am surrounded with 'Boy's fans... I hated what they did to Tom Landry, and will never forgive them for that.

8:25 am

Nono, must be interesting kerfuffles in your house from time to time.....

for sure Lori

am sooooo jealous my son is going to the Bills, Cowboys game tomorrow night

would you believe its the Steeler fan thats going LOL

8:28 am

Yerchhhh... and I thought there was justice in this universe! Lucky person!

NFL trivia, who is the most popular team, and who is the least popular team... currently that is

8:29 am

Re: Brady, Lori... that's a true leader, with what Brady does... we need more of that, and in spite of the video scandal, I think Belichek is one of the greatest coaches out there.

8:30 am

Miami Dolphins receive major 12 thumbs down boos in this house.....

8:30 am

T&T, the Cowboys continue to beat their own drum every year, but now, since the Super Bowl ring, it's probably the Indianapolis Colts... I suffer from extreme Peyton Manning fatigue...

nope your right Scarlet, its the cowboys as #1

8:31 am

I agree Scarlet. Belichek builds teams, in the true team sense. The video thing, all teams do it, just liek stealing signals in baseball. Pats got caught

8:31 am

The Dolphins are hideous, and I really had a problem with Nick Saban... he's gone now to Alabama for college coaching!

Cowboys have been toted as Americas Team for like forever

8:32 am

ick Cowboys

what is the least favorite team t&t?

8:32 am

Gads. I am so sick of peyton Manning and his simpering, sniveling ways I could gag. Cowboys, the NY Yankees of football, everybody loves to hate 'em....

8:32 am

*HUGS dan2bit*

8:32 am

G'd morning dan

Texas Texans

Morning Dan

that was according to a poll on NFL.com I heard it on the radio a few days ago and it just stuck with me for strange reason

8:33 am

morning all - http://commoncensus.org/sports.php is an interesting map project that attempts to identify the geographical 'spread' of teams in various sports

8:33 am

<-- kind of a map geek

8:34 am

Good morning everyone

8:35 am

The worst team, though, T&T, is hard to figure... the poor Minnesota Vikings have really fallen from the grace of their Purple People Eaters' days...

8:35 am

Toad! You are still here {{hugs}}

8:35 am

Oddly, we love the NFL, but don't follow Canadian football at all. Never have. G'd morning Mom!

8:37 am

8:37 am

8:38 am

yum, love turkey

8:38 am

Ahh, but Tom Brady scores very highly on the do-ability scale.... :)

8:38 am

8:38 am

Yes it is Scarlet. We're having ours today though

craggus has improved then, right up until the potential hangover....

8:46 am

Vodka/wine= not a good morning, the day after...

haha, I just tried poos again. I'm such a dork

8:47 am

too much wine and i'd be crying for help the next day hehe

8:47 am

lol no hangover so far tho so im hopeful i may escape it. didnt get much sleep so more tired than anything!

8:47 am

you can take a nap later today and rest up.

8:48 am

You're still under the haze, craggus... maybe you'll get "sleepy" soon...

8:48 am

don't like wine so when i get all the bottles at christmas i either keep em in the basement or give the odd one away

8:50 am

OOOhhhh... how about a mail service for morons: DOOFEX!

8:50 am

lol Scarlet

lol good one Scarlet

haha scarlet

8:50 am

scotland play argentina later in the rugby world cup so im not hopeful of a quiet night :D

8:50 am

;-)

8:51 am

How are Scotland's chances, crag?

8:52 am

T&T, you did see yourself in the grid today, right?

what kind of word is the po5.12 & 6.21... sounds fishy

8:52 am

well argentina are favourites but if we dont give away any silly penalties and keep possession then we will be in with a chance

yup I did Scarlet

3rd time in a row

8:53 am

LOL, T&T... must be in honor of the baby-to-be-born...

oh how sweet. Dr. God knew ahead of time. he should have told me

8:53 am

im missing one of the last to4/4's. i know which T its from but cant see it to save myself lol

8:53 am

Tadpoles?

8:53 am

Hi Cherrypop

8:54 am

Craggus, I don't think that the numbers tell the whole story in sports, because there is always the unfathomable X factor of human spirit, will and of course, luck!

8:54 am

sorry Toad, I don't have them

8:54 am

love your icon Cherrypop

oh I have them. I just think they look funny

8:54 am

hello room-good conversation even tho I'm not into football.

8:55 am

last to 4's are a plural of youngsters, the one before it is an anagram of the plural

8:55 am

G'd morning Cherry

8:55 am

Hi, Cherrypop!

think of the American gambling game but change the first letter to a P....

8:55 am

true scarlet, if we can beat france twice in the football then we can do anything lol

that was for the po5. then plural it for the po6

8:55 am

8:55 am

Exactly, crag. Best of luck with the match!

1:58 pm

tyvm fm

1:58 pm

1:58 pm

2 years, huh???? Does that mean I could really get addicted? I think I am headed that way. I am proud of myself today - this is the best I have done!!!

1:58 pm

Same here Nef, but we all keep coming back for more. yw joanne

1:59 pm

does that mean she could really get addicted *snicker*

1:59 pm

this winds me down specially after work

1:59 pm

Be gentle hurshy, the addiction will happen we all know that, we all succomed in the end.

2:00 pm

2:00 pm

i know but i can't help it, the naivete is so cute

2:00 pm

LOL! Yes, you can get addicted! :) I'm addicted to both the game AND the people here! This is one of the most positive group of people on the web IMHO!

2:01 pm

So where inthe world are you mamae

2:04 pm

Oh dear have we scared her off already!

2:05 pm

Darn! How will we ever get "fresh meat" if we scare them off that easy? ;)

2:05 pm

LOL

2:06 pm

Still here... just trying to find other words... I am in Indiana

2:06 pm

2:07 pm

I hate to say it, but i think i am here to stay

2:07 pm

Well welcome to Babble!!

2:08 pm

thanks!

2:08 pm

Why *hate* to say it? We've all stopped fighting and gave in to thegame! :)

2:09 pm

Depending when you are playing you will meetin other babblers from different time zones around the world.

2:10 pm

i notice some people seem to really know one another.

2:11 pm

afternoon babblers

2:11 pm

well, depending on how long you've played and the time of day you play, you do form friendships. Also, some people talk other friends into joining

2:12 pm

Hi Shawnee

2:13 pm

I see we have another Hoosier in the midst. Welcome mamae

2:13 pm

2:23 pm

HI Haz!

2:23 pm

hello haz

2:23 pm

you're welcome Dorens

2:24 pm

Evening Haz. good to see you.

2:24 pm

Just getting started - very late today, but here's hoping it's a nice grid.

2:24 pm

Hello FMitch - keeping any better?

2:25 pm

not too bad Haz

2:25 pm

not bad haz... i'm down to one more and it didn't take much time.. the usual assortment of ridiculous words, tho'

2:25 pm

I think you will enjoy it.

2:25 pm

It wouldn't be babble if there weren't some ridiculous words!

2:25 pm

anyone have the total points?

2:26 pm

748

2:26 pm

No Dorens, I don't

2:26 pm

Still suffering Haz, thinking poss anitbiots from Dr, but have 9.30 meeting in the morning. Might try popping in early.

2:26 pm

ty chic... then i am missing a 5 letter s with 12 points. will find it

2:26 pm

Yes, if the throats still as sore as you say, antiobitics might be the answer.

2:27 pm

fireworks. thanks all

2:27 pm

congrats Dorens

2:27 pm

I recommend tequila with lemon for a sore throat.

2:27 pm

BF is happy as I can't talk too much Says at last he can get a word in!! Cheek!

2:27 pm

Yay! Dorens!

2:28 pm

Congrats Dorens

2:28 pm

Good gracious! As if you ever say more than is necessary.

2:28 pm

say has anyone read that miserable book yet?

2:29 pm

Its more like tonsillitus, but Have had many wonderful and boozy suggestions from Babblers thanks Shawnee

2:29 pm

hahaha chic... no, not yet meaning of everything or whatever it's called? it still hasn't arrived... ordered online

2:29 pm

rum and honey tastes good, is soothing, but ultimately, if you need antibiotics, you need antibiotics, fmitch. as you know

2:30 pm

I can't get past Chapt 2; I keep falling asleep reading it.....

2:30 pm

I can sympathise, FMitch - I used to get strep throats and they're not pleasant company. I couldn't believe how many times I swallow - it's only when it's painful that you realise!

2:30 pm

not surprised.... thought it might be that kind of book.. I like those books for when I can't sleep

2:30 pm

Which miserable book are you recommending(?), chic?

2:31 pm

the next book should be good. The author was on The Dog Whisperer last week (marley and Me)

2:31 pm

only way i got over all my miserable strep throats was to lose my tonsils

2:31 pm

Marley and Me - about the dog?

2:31 pm

The Meaning of Everything; we're supposed to be reading it for the babble book club for Oct.

2:32 pm

yes the dog one...

2:33 pm

Dog ones rarely have happy endings, they're always written after the dog is dead so you can't help being miserable the whole way through;.

2:33 pm

i read a thousand splendid suns for my "other" book club this month... great book

2:33 pm

is that amy Tan dorens?

2:33 pm

6 left, but must go start supper. Take care everyone and I wish you all fireworks. Bye for now

2:33 pm

no khaled hosseini (i think?) ... author of the kite runner

2:34 pm

have a great dinner mom

2:34 pm

thank you Dorens. All the family will be here :)

2:34 pm

I know Haz; that's why I can't bring myself to watch "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" because I already read the book.

2:34 pm

ah, then i'm sure it will be a great dinner

2:35 pm

it will be wonderful.

2:35 pm

thank you.

2:35 pm

You never know, chic. Sometimes film makers take such liberties with the book they may have written a happy ending!

2:36 pm

Indian Wars generally don't come out too well; especially for the Indians....

2:37 pm

chic does have a point there

2:37 pm

That's true.

2:38 pm

Ok got to go make lunch; it's Hot tuna melts today...

2:38 pm

That will do nicely chic :)

2:39 pm

see you later chic

2:39 pm

Enjoy lunch, chic.

2:40 pm

well, over half way. good stopping point. good luck all bbl.

2:40 pm

Bye Shawnee.

2:41 pm

The mention of f4/8 and 1/2 the babblers head for the litchen

2:42 pm

Hello joanne.

2:43 pm

and no eating the f4/8 whilst in there

2:43 pm

i said i would milk this one but i'm not milking it i 'm just lost hehe

2:44 pm

byee mame

2:45 pm

Can I mention from the penalty box that I DID manage to avoid the oo4/5 and the po4/8 which usually adorn the log!

2:45 pm

You may mention that, but you still have to stay in there for another 2 mins.

2:46 pm

You're a hard woman.

2:46 pm

I had a hard task mistress Mrs Haz

2:46 pm

ok. i'm off now... good luck haz, i'm sure she'll let you out soon

2:47 pm

I'll take that as a compliment, FMitch.

2:47 pm

Thank you Dorens, I need all the support I can get.

2:47 pm

*grin* Bye Dorens

2:49 pm

Hi, just got fireworks, but i can never see the video you all talk about. What do I have to do?

2:49 pm

Haz come on out it's lonely out here, everyone has gone.

2:50 pm

kath, it's part of licketys babble expert, you have to email him if you want it.

2:50 pm

Okay, and I'll try to be good from now on.

2:51 pm

Oh OK thanks

2:53 pm

Back in a min or two, need another hot drink.

2:53 pm

I have to confess that I rarely watch the video!

2:54 pm

I still haven't got expert

2:55 pm

It's good, FMitch, in that you can use as much or as little of it as you want. I would use the word ad***able.

2:55 pm

back again. I wandered off to hem some jeans so I could finally get dressed (it's ONLY 3 PM!) Ispent yesterday installing a "peel and stick" vinyl floor for an elderly relative and I HURT today! (don't you all feel bad for me?) ;)

2:57 pm

well i dfo

2:57 pm

do too

2:57 pm

Just realising it's a good job I didn't announce WHAT fo4 I was having earlier on.

2:57 pm

the good deed

2:57 pm

I feel bad for anyone who has to hem jeans.

2:58 pm

lol haz bravo for nef all round

2:59 pm

I', 5'5" and if I get petite jeans they are too short, but regulars are too long! I can't figure out how tall a nrmal height is supposed to be anymore!

2:59 pm

As womens jeans/trousers are (90%) of the time too short for me (34" leg), hemming is not a problem.

2:59 pm

nothing is normal anymore

3:00 pm

34" leg isn't long enough? WOW! How tall are you?

3:00 pm

hip huggers drive me nuts

3:00 pm

and stretch grrrr

3:00 pm

LOL got 34" leg, most womens stuff ends and 30£ or there abouts.

3:01 pm

I buy guys jeans, get a good fit and great length.

3:02 pm

I'm a 34'' leg too, in flat shoes. Some makes do seem to be getting longer

3:02 pm

me too, joanne; and at my age they don't look good at all! Depending on the brand, sometimes I wear petite dress slacks and sometimes I wear regulars. But I end up hemming nearly every pair of jeans I buy.

3:02 pm

Yay kath

3:02 pm

I could make a patchwork quilt from the material left over from stuff I've had to get shortened. Let's rephrase that - someone could make a quilt....

3:03 pm

Any clues for the da5,12 words? Getting near the end...

3:03 pm

Oh dear Haz, what would we do without you :)

3:03 pm

M&S have just started a tall section online, I have just sent for a pair of trousers, so we shall see....

3:03 pm

da5/12 - one is a plural of da4/5, the other adds an extra consonant to the da4/5

3:03 pm

LOL! Haz! I was just about ready to say that the Brits are growing taller these days til you chimed in!

3:04 pm

Some Brits may be getting taller, but not this wee woman.

3:04 pm

My punctuation was wrong there. kate do let me know how you get on, what size are you if you don't mind me asking?

3:04 pm

size 12

3:05 pm

Thanks Haz - got the plural - is the consonant on the same da4?

3:05 pm

Hi everyone! Just 1 word needed before fireworks... po6,21, the first one, please?

3:06 pm

Yes, it is Mudplugger.

3:06 pm

po6/21 - not how Dan Quayle spells it

3:06 pm

Brookie, without the po6 where would french fries be?

3:06 pm

Thanks FM, great clue! FIREWORKS!

3:07 pm

YAY Brookie

3:07 pm

Well done Brookie!

3:07 pm

Thanks Haz!

3:07 pm

Haz, your clue has lots of wit!

3:08 pm

Thank you, Brookie!

3:08 pm

Congrats Brookie

3:08 pm

Everyone is so helpful every day I come to babble, thanks for being such a nice group.

3:09 pm

It's nice to have you join us, Brookie!

3:09 pm

Haz, still can't see the extra consonant. arrgh. And how's the da6?

3:10 pm

It's the same consonant, just double it up within the word, Mud. And the da6 is the plural.

3:11 pm

Duh, word blind. Just four to go! Thanks Haz - you're a star!

3:11 pm

Mud, there are 2 da 4/5's maybe try the OTHER one

3:11 pm

You're welcome, Mud.

3:12 pm

Dusts off spare pedestal and proffers stepladder to Haz.

3:12 pm

And what about my vertigo?

3:13 pm

OK ... swaps full size pedestal for shorter but still decorative one with chair on the top and a seat belt.

3:13 pm

... and a safety net.

3:13 pm

It's not so much vertigo as a feeling of being drawn doooown. Like you'll jump even though you don't mean to.

3:13 pm

Maybe someone rushing for a pedestal gets vert-ego?

3:14 pm

That sounds better. I'm such a wimp.

3:14 pm

Oh, nice one Mud!

3:14 pm

Ha Ha Mud

3:15 pm

Can't find words but can make puns. Looking for po5,12 now..

3:15 pm

po5/12 - mirrors, not quite exactly, the structure of the da5 and 6 that were bothering you.

3:15 pm

Add the p to the o4/4

3:16 pm

and don't forget the pl

3:16 pm

Or, po5/12 - leave a vowel from the Dan Quayle vegetable.

3:17 pm

Wow - what on earth does that mean?

3:18 pm

A nocturnal African primate.

3:18 pm

Click on the ? and let us know (feeling lazy here)

3:18 pm

Thanks for the clues - yup just checked the definition. It's educational this process. Two to go now, st6,21 and st5,12. Not so much lazy as burnt out!

3:19 pm

any clues on the 7? I have 22 words left and dont want to go to the list just yet

3:19 pm

st6/21 - occurs in the Oliver Goldsmith play.

3:20 pm

It's a pl Nef to7/28 normal word.

3:20 pm

nef, it's the plural of ta6,18

3:20 pm

The seven - loved by some, hated by others, but pretty permanently here.

3:20 pm

Haz, that's a but intellectual for me - I only do musicals and opera!

3:20 pm

and led to some interesting discussions in the log this morning.

3:21 pm

Or - st5/12 - bend over, st6 - verb form - as in 'She st6 to conquer'

3:21 pm

thanks. And I DO have that ta 6/18 too!

3:21 pm

hi all

3:21 pm

Nef, on you or in the list?

3:21 pm

Oh, I'm reading in the chat log at the minute, I'll maybe come on the discussion soon.

3:22 pm

i

3:22 pm

Uh - of course had the singular of that one.

3:22 pm

Definitely not on me! I've seen too many old ones that aren't attractive anymore; nor are they recognizable!

3:22 pm

Hi Tim

3:22 pm

Mud - I'm noticing that you've been a member of babble for a while now. Were you a lurker?

3:23 pm

Personally can't stand the things, but one of my staff has tons of them and he's a nice as nice can be.

3:23 pm

Persnally can't uderstand why people would want to have it done. Mud is related to Billmeister if I remember correctly?

3:23 pm

i have one left that i have been trying to get for some time now can anyone give me a clue for the first to5/10

3:23 pm

Haz, sort of. We don't get on that often - usually spend 10-20 minutes with my 7-year old before bed time. She's great it. And yes, billmster is my father.

3:24 pm

Ah, that explains things.

3:24 pm

Morning bread tim

3:24 pm

wow i thought i tried that thanks

3:24 pm

yw

3:25 pm

I'm a nurse and have seen TONS of them on patients through the years. so many WWII vets had them; I just can't understand why people would want them myself

3:25 pm

Fireworks! Thanks everyone - my wife found the last nasty word.

3:26 pm

Congrats!

3:26 pm

My worry is that they look okayish at the start, all precise and everything but they do deteriorate.

3:26 pm

Congratulations Mud!

3:27 pm

Thanks - we find the smaller grids worth fighting for. When it's hundreds of words we just don't have time.

3:27 pm

We probably don't have the time for the big ones either, but addiction is a terrible thing!

3:27 pm

YAY Mud! (which didn't work when I entered it in the "add word" box!)

3:28 pm

what a cute video

3:28 pm

G'night all, I'm on the first flight to London tomorrow so I have to get up at 4.15.

3:29 pm

Im going to bid you all adieu, not feeling too great. Happy Babbling. Haz might see you tomorrow :)

3:29 pm

You'll need to get to bed early. Sleep well.

3:29 pm

thanks again for the clue

3:29 pm

Night Mud and Mitch

3:29 pm

Okay - I'll probably not be on until the afternoon - cousin's husband's funeral to attend in the morning.

3:30 pm

Hope you feel better FM!

3:30 pm

Hope you feel better FM!

3:30 pm

hello

3:30 pm

Hope you feel better soon, FMitch!

3:30 pm

Hello Liz - how are you?

3:30 pm

Sympathy to you and family, Haz. Never easy. Later...

3:30 pm

Oh dear. See you anon then *po4/8*

3:30 pm

Bye you two.

3:31 pm

I'm not bad Haz....I read Mud's sympathy message, I hope nothings wrong? :(

3:32 pm

No, my eldest cousin's husband has died, I'll be attending the funeral in the morning. They lived quite a distance away and sadly, only seem to see her now at funerals.

3:33 pm

Oh I am sorry Haz :(

3:33 pm

Her brother died a couple of years ago, the funeral is in the same church, so it won't be easy for her.

3:34 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody today?

3:34 pm

Never easy no matter what. I've lost too many loved ones this year. I'm hoping for a better 2008 for everyone. Will be thinking of you HAz.

3:35 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

3:35 pm

Thanks Liz and hello Minver.

3:37 pm

I came to help w/clues,but it looks like most are done

3:37 pm

Hello Min

hi! wow lookit the wee grid

3:37 pm

I just found the da 6/21 ... what the ????^&%^& Is that really a word???

3:38 pm

You'll wear out the question mark on your computer if you keep this up, Liz.

3:38 pm

LOL But really! That is just SO not a real word! Even the dictionary agrees with me there

3:39 pm

And yet, enable is happy with it.

3:39 pm

sometimes I need to get out and about with the monkeys a bit more

3:40 pm

Just suspend your disbelief, Liz.

3:40 pm

Its hanging by a thread as it is Haz

3:41 pm

Like FMitch's health?

3:41 pm

Fiona? Why whats wrong?

3:41 pm

She's still not well, hopefully the doctor can give her antibiotics for her throat, or at least, something to help.

3:42 pm

I could use some help with the O in the middle of the grid

3:42 pm

she works too hard. I hope she's better soon

3:42 pm

Hurra - it means chooses

3:42 pm

oo4/4 is oo plus author ** Elliot Hurra.Is that the one

3:43 pm

Hurra, there's a word of choice for that one, op4.

3:43 pm

Hello Hurra! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

3:43 pm

ok - thanks!

3:43 pm

any help with the ex4/9? Please? everything I try doesn't work

3:44 pm

oo 4/5:oo** I Did It Again (Britney Spears song) hurra

3:44 pm

ex plus off's opposite. Reminds me of oil disaster?

3:44 pm

ex 4/9 - think of a gas station Nef.

3:44 pm

The Valdez

3:44 pm

The one.

3:45 pm

thanks! :) I kept thinking there wasn't such a word. A name, maybe, but not a word

3:45 pm

You're probably too young to remember Britain's equivalent, the Tory Canyon, Liz.

3:47 pm

ex 4/9 is any portion of an interrupted gene that is represented in the RNA product & is translated into protein(according to enable).I guess it's a real word.

3:47 pm

This is hard! Thanks for the earlier clues - I also need the A in the top row

3:47 pm

fireworks

3:47 pm

Haz have you read The Wreckers by Bella Bathhurst? Brilliant book about shipping disasters

3:48 pm

No, I haven't - fact or fiction?

3:48 pm

The at 4/5 is a + a spinning toy kids play with hurra.

3:48 pm

Fact

3:48 pm

Congratulations littlebit on fireworks!Hooray for you

3:48 pm

Sorry, I had to step away for awhile. Any clues needed before I go (more permanently)?

3:48 pm

congrats littlebit!

3:49 pm

Hello Brookie!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

3:49 pm

I should look out for it. Is it all 20th century disasters or does it go further back?

3:49 pm

Thanks, minver.

3:49 pm

yw

3:50 pm

So I have one word left, but I am savoring it for later

3:51 pm

ty all

3:51 pm

It's always nice that we have all day to complete the grid. We can join and return any time we please...

3:51 pm

No it goes back further to the 18th century - great read

3:52 pm

Well, I'm heading out for the evening. Happy babbling, everyone! *poof*

3:52 pm

I'll look out for it - I'm a sucker for history!

3:52 pm

Bye Brookie.

3:53 pm

I'm off too now - washing up and bed for me. Been on the running machine tonight and my legs are like jelly!

3:53 pm

In my case it is not always anytime we please. Many times husband or life gets in the way. But I do know what you mean Brookie. It is not so nice when it is a short grid. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bigger puzzle

3:53 pm

Nasty! But it's in a good cause.

3:53 pm

Goodbye Brookie! I will see you tomorrow in the chat

3:53 pm

LOL Its a great get fit incentive Haz :))

3:54 pm

Goodbye Lizsark! I will see you tomorrow in the chat

3:56 pm

Hi Tinascratch2! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

3:56 pm

3:57 pm

to 4/4 is car****s are on Saturday morning and other to 4/4 is what you do with your car horn mamae. Hi!

hi min - having a very fine day :)

3:58 pm

Hello mamae!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

3:59 pm

to 4/4 means little children & other is anagram of it.

there's another one, too - tater to**

4:00 pm

i seem to have all of those. what am i missing here????

oh, thx min - hadn't gotten the anagram of that last one yet

4:00 pm

There are four to 4/4 words in the grid today mamae

4:01 pm

yw

4:01 pm

right - I have 3

4:02 pm

do you have theto 4/4 it off for bottles and drinks?

4:02 pm

Tinascratch2 and I clued all four of the to 4/4 words.

4:03 pm

The 4 to4/4 words are car****s on Saturday morning, to** your horn, tater-to** and anagram of it mamae.

4:04 pm

Maybe you are missing a to 4/5 word instead mamae.

4:04 pm

I GOT IT!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!

4:04 pm

yw

4:20 pm

5 left. the sp5/12 (first one) and the st 5/12 (last one) seem invisible to me

4:21 pm

sp 5/12 eating tool

4:21 pm

consonnant instead of plural for 5/12 preceding

4:21 pm

sp 5/12 is you use a sp*** to eat soup Nef. st 5/12 is past tense of a st4/5 word using the cross letter Nef

4:22 pm

Hello Babs1! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

4:22 pm

Geez! Where's the fish? Thanks! For both !!

4:22 pm

yw

4:23 pm

Hi minveryork! 1 to go...maybe ask for clue soon..

4:23 pm

thanks for asking..actually going through lots of marital crisis stuff...

4:23 pm

I have one to go too, but I am savoring it for later on

4:23 pm

I am sorry to hear that. What kind of marital crisis?

4:24 pm

po 5/18 anyone??? Pls.

4:24 pm

po 5/18 is plural of the po 4/8 word before it mamae.

4:24 pm

Could it be Babble Babs1? Babble causes crisis for me.

4:25 pm

probably not good to put details here in chat, but long term issues of not being close and now finding he's led a second life --owned up to part of it, then hid the rest

4:26 pm

Thanks minveryork! You are on it! I thought I already had that! I have one left!

4:26 pm

My husband gets mad & says I pay more attention to Babble than to him, which is quite true unfortunately

4:28 pm

it's a hard trek to wake up, realizing you've been living in delusion and not even knowing how long...going through lots of feelings and soul searaching

4:28 pm

Yes, that is definitely be a crisis! I'm so sorry Babs1!

4:28 pm

thanks...just trying to get stabilized and get a deeper connection within!

4:29 pm

Hey Babblers, hows the grid ? Easy or am I in for a very long night ?

4:29 pm

Might I ask how long you have been married to hubby

4:34 pm

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

4:34 pm

4:36 pm

sillyD, there isn't a t 5/6

4:36 pm

Hello SillyD! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

4:36 pm

silly, could you give the second letter as to which clues you want?

4:36 pm

Speaking of marriages,today's my 2-year anniversary

4:36 pm

Happy Anniversary MIN!

4:37 pm

ooopppsss so sorry new to this and getting the hang of it... very addictive!

4:37 pm

congrats, Min! time flies when you're having fun! :)

4:37 pm

I am glad grid was small. Hubby would have been mad if I ignored him on our anniversary.I have 1 more left

4:37 pm

H*A*P*P*Y A*N*N*I*V*E*R*S*A*R*Y Min !!

4:37 pm

Thanks lbdawger!

4:37 pm

Thanks Aussieme!

4:38 pm

silly, it is addictive! are you using lickety's list? it can be found at the bottom of the page under friends of babble. it's a very helpful list to use.

4:38 pm

Welcome Min..... Have a good night with Hubby tonight wont you !!

4:39 pm

Min, any romantic plans?

4:39 pm

SillyD, you picked an appropriate name.Babble words can be quite silly here and the players can be as well.

4:39 pm

No... I don't have that... is it because I'm a MAC user?

4:39 pm

I know I have found 54 words... I love this!

4:40 pm

Unfortunately,he is a die hard Yankees fan so he will be watching the game to see if the Yanks will make it

4:40 pm

Min, and you are worried about ignoring him ?

4:40 pm

silly, a mac user can use the lickety list that is linked to the bottom of the page. it opens in a new window, and you can transfer your answers to that list to find out which ones you are missing.

4:40 pm

Silly, I'm on a Mac too. Go to the bottom of the page where it says "friends of Babble' and it lists likketys list down there

4:41 pm

Thank you for the information!

4:41 pm

http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /babbleclues.html - this is the link or website of Lickety's list SillyD

4:42 pm

As a Mac user, however, we don't get to see the special videos that likety has, but we do get to see the fireworks

4:42 pm

He is making me a really nice romantic dinner tonight

4:42 pm

Awwww, thats nice Min

4:43 pm

NICE, Min! Candlelights and all? :)

4:43 pm

I have yet to see a video. I do not use BabbleExpert.

congrats min - I hope you have a lovely evening

4:43 pm

Yes, with candle lights & game on in the background.

4:45 pm

the game on? Hmmm, romance isn't what it used to be I guess! ;)

4:49 pm

I don't mind because I can sit here and clue while he watches game. We already had a nice day together.

4:49 pm

Nothing's what it used to be if you think about it Nef

4:50 pm

Now we're in the days of bad politics and technology.

4:54 pm

true. Of course, politics have always had some bad apples through the ages.

4:57 pm

2 words left and I can't find them. they HAVE to be fish words because I've missed the easiest words today.

4:58 pm

Yes, we have had some bad apples, but I think we've had a rotten apple for the past three years. Oh well.

4:59 pm

go nef go!

4:59 pm

So what are the 2 words left that yoiu still need Nef?

4:59 pm

Just ONE bad apple? Wow!

5:01 pm

Why does the letter i have to be next to the letter u on the keyboard? I hate typos! So,what do you need?

5:01 pm

I'm still working on them so don't tell me yet. Just let me know if they are fish words, okay? Thanks. do 4/6 and to 5/12

5:02 pm

not fish, just unusual words we've had before.

5:02 pm

I would not consider them to be fish words, but then I am not a Babble expert! Will clue them when needed

5:05 pm

well, *that's* good news! At least I'm not totally blind today!

5:07 pm

Can I tell you how they're situated without cluing Nef

5:08 pm

yeah; you might as well clue them too. My fingers hurt and I took a pain pill so things will start swimming here soon for me

5:09 pm

do+ not ma

okay, one left...

5:10 pm

to 5/12 rhymes with not a co-op but a c**** & do 4/5 is do plus state abbreviation for the Steelers Nef.

5:10 pm

2000 pounds + ** re me fa so la ti **

5:10 pm

lbd, THAT is a fish word for me! I worked with that med all of the time!

5:11 pm

go tina go

5:11 pm

I meant to say do 4/6, not do 4/5 in my last post Nef

5:11 pm

5:13 pm

congrats nef!

bye min!

Have lotsa fun!

hello babblers

5:23 pm

hi, nef and hk

5:24 pm

hi HK

5:25 pm

I am football-distracted..

5:27 pm

bbl, gotta go scrounge up something for dinner.

hiya pam, lbd,nef!

i went to see son-in-law run in the marathon today - they called it cause of the heat - tony walked the last 6 miles, but really sad thing is that someone died & over 300 had to go to hospitals

it was record heat here today

5:30 pm

Hello helenkeller!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

hiya minver

5:31 pm

That is something, HK. And, i am sorry that someone died, and that others got so sick...

i know pam, it casts a sadness over the whole thing & it was such a nice experience, so many people on sidelines cheering on the runners, such a positive atmosphere

omg, hk - that's terrible :(

5:33 pm

I know what you mean, HK. That's how the Boston Marathon is, and when tragedy strikes, it is just a huge pall

yes tina, i expect it's gonna be a huge shock to the family, but i gotta say there were a number of way outta shape people in the thing - i personally would never attempt it & i'm not in all that horrible shape

tony did the smart thing, to walk the end, he's been training since spring, this was his 3rd marathon, but he's run the 26 miles 2x in the past couple of months

Fireworks!!!!

they even ran out of water - at the finish & also at stations along the way - it also saddens me cause i would love for the olympics to come here & this make our city look bad

5:35 pm

And the heat's effects can be so severe that even people who trained--not pros, but people who trained--are at risk. Tony did do the smart thing, HK, and I am glad

yay for tur !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:35 pm

Congrats boggler and all finishers

yeah - my friend said she saw this couple, the guy had run & the woman was trying to get him to go to a hospital, but he just wanted to go back to his hotel & michelle said his entire face had blisters all over, must be very heat sensitive - lots of very red-faced people

yeah - i saw tony at mile 4 & then at 10 & he was really soaked at 10 which i was surprised at but that's cause of the heat

5:38 pm

Soaked is good. People stop sweating when the start experiencing heat exhaustion, then comes heat stroke... Don't get me started on all the ways severe heat and stupid people combine! Not to mention sunburn...

lol pam - i am very sensitive to the heat too - i had 2 friends all to make sure i was ok, lol & i didn't even run, even took a cab back to my car :)

5:40 pm

LOLOL, hk,that IS funny! Glad that you played it cool, though. I am heat sensitive, too. And, I love cold water, so you can imagine how much I drink during the summers...

igood for you, i don't drink nearly as much as i should (water that is, i do drink an awful lot of tea)

yup, pam - i've seen people act the fool many times out in the heat - people that really should know better.

it's easy to let the heat get the best of you, don't get me wrong - but sometimes people are crazily careless

sure are

5:46 pm

agreed, tina

5:47 pm

ok..I give up on my last word...what's a clue for the to 5/12?? mercy here!

5:49 pm

6:03 pm

I love to see the trees change, but we have been so dry here, that the leaves have been falling most of the summer

6:03 pm

Mom--I only have 1 left and am ready to give up and ask for a clue....to 5/10. Can't seem to figure it out.

6:03 pm

Hi, scrabs and mom.

6:03 pm

Hi Pam

6:03 pm

Hi Pam! How are you doing? Enjoying autumn?

6:03 pm

Scrabs--we aren't going to get the colors as much here--too much of a drought

6:03 pm

I should clarify that it is the first to 1/10

6:03 pm

Don't give up, J2. Always ask for clue.

6:04 pm

what you do to bread when you put it in the to***er

6:04 pm

7:23 pm

Pam - did you check out the link fo the 'migra-cap' I put in my bio for you?

Hi, jac. I am a football fan, so that is distracting. And, I answered some mail. I am trying not to finish the great book...

7:24 pm

7:24 pm

i'm an idiot moment and nut's my twin

7:24 pm

7:24 pm

7:24 pm

amy - you'll have to fight your way through us lot to get to him! LOL

7:25 pm

Did you find the US site for it, Pam?

7:25 pm

Jacula, I didn't know that was your Babbling chair. It is hilarious.

7:25 pm

Scrabbs - LOL, it's most handy for long grids.

7:26 pm

Does it recline, Jacula? Is there a bidet included? Can it come with an attached mini-fridge?

7:26 pm

ta6 please?

7:26 pm

No, Jac, not yet. But I book-marked it to do research down the road.

7:27 pm

skin art, scrabs

7:27 pm

Any luxury additions you want, Scrabbs. LOL

7:27 pm

TY, dawger.

7:28 pm

There's even a voice-activated thingey for telling Babble what words you want to put in.;)

7:28 pm

(Even works when you're slurring. LOL)

7:28 pm

Massage features would be nice, Jacula.

7:28 pm

Got those, too.

7:29 pm

HAHA, Jacula. Is there a safety feature for when one is falling asleep and the head is bobbing?

7:29 pm

LOL, Scrabs. I actually massage my cheekbones and along my nose when a headache is bad.

7:29 pm

I noticed in one of our shopping centres/malls the other day that they now have £1 a go massage chairs there.

7:29 pm

7:29 pm

7:29 pm

Scrabbs - Yes, a gentle hands pops out and cups your chin.

LOL--thanks for the clue, scrabs

7:31 pm

7:31 pm

Hi Kate, how are you and the girls doing?

7:31 pm

7:32 pm

we're all good thanks scrabbler, hows things with everyone in babble land?

7:32 pm

'are dandies'? Meant means 'dandies' or men with lace cuffs. LOL

7:32 pm

Hi kthdsn.

7:33 pm

I am continuing in my daily adventure to know every word in the Enable dictionary

7:33 pm

Hi, kate!! Long time since we have been on at the same time! Hope you have acclimated well.

7:34 pm

7:34 pm

7:37 pm

7:37 pm

Try again, kath.

7:38 pm

As in jester or mascot, Nut--no criticism implied. We all have our roles to play on the Babble Team.

7:38 pm

7:38 pm

yep, well i've decided there's no "i" in team...just me

7:38 pm

7:40 pm

7:40 pm

7:40 pm

Floor-cleaning robot? Omigod - kath's scooped her ex-hub's brains out and wired him up. Oh, LOL.

7:40 pm

7:40 pm

Ver tactful, Scrabbs. Well done on finishing!

7:41 pm

7:45 pm

I have to keep repositioning my large feet, scrabs, LOL! But, I like it as my fave form of torture. I will do the reclining bike, too... Of course, I have to re-learn the machines for the mini nautilus type circuit--much as I love cardio, I HATE weight training, but my shoulder pretty much requires it...

7:46 pm

no jac, i'm holding the camera

7:46 pm

pam - I'dun' gyms, been there, got the tee-shirt, and the sweaty towel. I'll stick to walking and gardening, thanks.

7:46 pm

Keep up the good work, Pam, and you will feel great.

7:47 pm

I'll watch the rest of the film then, nut.

7:47 pm

Well, time to move my lazy butt to the couch and watch Law & Order that I recorded. See everyone tomorrow.

7:47 pm

I walk past the gym everyday, does that count?

7:47 pm

LOL, jac. I walk lots--don't know how to drive, but I need the extras the gym will get me--if i don't do something about my shoulder, I will just pitch one, soon

7:47 pm

Night, and thanks, scrabs

7:47 pm

7:47 pm

Yes, Kate, it does!!!

7:50 pm

I don't drive either, I've never really wanted to and we don't need to living right in the city

7:50 pm

Works for me, Jac!!!! I can't imagine it NOT being stressful!

7:51 pm

i find driving to be relaxing

7:51 pm

po+ double cross letters + 4th vowel

7:52 pm

da5.12, plural the da4.5 and then double the middle consonant for the other 5.12

7:52 pm

ok i found the second da5/12

7:52 pm

7:52 pm

Thank you!

7:52 pm

poos in the grid again - but it ain't no stinkin' word

7:52 pm

ohhh well don't i feel silly! thanks <3

7:52 pm

7:52 pm

oh, it's stinkin

7:53 pm

8-), lbd

7:53 pm

poot isn't a word either. go figure

7:53 pm

I don't mind driving in North Wales. Apparently, I take the lanes, out of tourist season, 'like a rally driver'. But I grew up knowing every bump, twist, turn, wall and ditch in them. Here in Worcs., I'm told I drive like I have 'square wheels'. I decided to stop driving about 7 years' ago and haven't yet succumbed.

7:53 pm

it's a stinker too

7:54 pm

like my kit kat

7:54 pm

ren - for poos to work, you have to spell it pooHs.

7:54 pm

i can;t imagine not driving - i love to drive

7:54 pm

that d is odd, too. Thanks for the clues, lbd

7:54 pm

thanks mistress!

7:54 pm

7:54 pm

Ren - more room on your roads out there over The Pond.

7:54 pm

7:57 pm

I need to5,12

7:57 pm

I haven't even looked up what today's theme is. I'm still on the 'hot food' theme.

7:57 pm

I've got all the po's what are you looking for

7:58 pm

7:59 pm

po4/6 - small body of water, often containing goldfish.

7:59 pm

po4/8 - a nasty smell?

8:00 pm

No, that's po4.7

8:01 pm

po4/8 - Babblers often say it when leaving the chatlog to signify they have switch off. We in, UK, use the word to describe either a fo4 stool or (not policically correctly) a homoesexual man. po5/18 is the plural.

8:01 pm

duh - i just noticed there are no e's in this grid....

8:02 pm

is too

8:02 pm

po4/5 - like the piece of cutlery you use to eat liquid fo4s with but minus its head.

8:03 pm

po6/21 - Sir Walter Raleigh brought this rootvegetable into UK, along with tobacco. Think 'fries'.

8:03 pm

jac--can you reclue the to? I get the heavy weight, but not the verb... thanks

8:03 pm

oh, and thanks for the other clues--I m more than halfway

8:03 pm

po4.5 - **** and pans. Cooking containers.

8:03 pm

8:05 pm

looking for my last word

8:05 pm

Both of the da 5/12 words are plurals SillyD.

8:05 pm

2nd da5/12 is the same as the da4/5 with the plural but has a double consonant in the middle.

8:05 pm

how is everyone doing today?

8:05 pm

anks, lbd

8:05 pm

I could've gotten fireworks @ 12:00,but I was saving my last word until later tonight.Now I have fireworks

8:08 pm

po5/12 is a type of lemur more commonly known as a kinkajou. Rhymes with a short word now used for lottery in UK, and US, I think. po6/21 is the plural.

8:08 pm

Way to go, kate!

8:08 pm

Well done, Min!

8:08 pm

YAYAYAY, min

8:08 pm

Thanks Jacula!

8:08 pm

That concludes all the 'po' clues.

8:09 pm

Next? *Ambles off to find self a glass of wine.*

8:09 pm

thanks mistress!

8:09 pm

20 left...to get the list or no?

8:10 pm

I'd hang on a bit, feather, and try asking for clues. I guess it depends on how you play the game though....

8:11 pm

If I drank a glass of wine I'd fall right to sleep Jacula!

8:11 pm

Minn - well, that's the idea eventually, since it's 2:10 am here in UK.

8:12 pm

with a squirmy baby at the moment, so no words now

8:12 pm

It's been a day of frequent hot flushes/flashes though and I've no reason to suppose the night will be any different.:( Bloody hormones... or rather lack of them.

8:13 pm

Stroke the baby, feather, to calm the baby down.

8:13 pm

i am

8:13 pm

Don't talk or sing, or do anything 'entertaining'.

8:14 pm

Or give it a glass of wine!No just kidding featherbee!

8:14 pm

ahhhh fireworks!

8:14 pm

he was out, woke up

8:14 pm

Well done, emkiser.

8:14 pm

Congratulations emkiser on your fireworks! Hooray!

8:14 pm

We've had this convo before haven't we, feather? LOL

8:14 pm

rocking now

8:14 pm

hehe yep

8:14 pm

LOL, jac! I hope it's better tonight.

8:15 pm

My ex-ma-in-law always advocated 'brandy on the dummy/soother'. I didn't do that!

8:15 pm

no way!

8:15 pm

feather your pic is gorgeous

8:15 pm

thanks all! see you after the rollover ^_~

8:15 pm

pam - that book by Juliet Greenwood just read, see my write up on Goodreads, she had hot flushes, too. LOL.

8:16 pm

ahh, he is settling

8:16 pm

Oh no, I would NEVER do that! I believe in pacifiers.I don't believe in any brandy or any other alcohol on it

8:16 pm

ty kate

8:16 pm

So, do I just go to goodreads,.com? and how do I get to yours? i am telling you, that site is tough on me

8:16 pm

Goodbye emkiser! I will see you tomorrow in the chat

8:17 pm

bye em

8:17 pm

hi feather

8:17 pm

pam - you've joined goodreads as a member? You must have. I'm sure you're on my friends list.

8:18 pm

hi dawg

8:18 pm

Yes, pam, you are and you're online now.

8:18 pm

I got there, Jac. Yes, i am a member, but it is very overwhelming,. :P:

8:19 pm

Okay - click on 'friends' at the top.

8:19 pm

Then you can click on me (Jacula) and see my books etc.

8:20 pm

I did, thanks! There's another "pam" that is confusing, too!

8:20 pm

Sounds like a great book!

8:21 pm

I've only got one 'pam' on my friends list, pam, and that's you.

8:21 pm

It is a great book for the older woman.

8:22 pm

She keeps going off on tangents, which I really loved and appreciated and I love Transita for going with that and publishing her.

8:22 pm

ok cross fingers. moved him to the bouncer, but he's not fully out. i'm rocking it with my fo4/7!

8:23 pm

If I ever get to finish one of my 5 novels in progress I know which publisher I'll be sending them to.

8:23 pm

i think he was getting distracted by proximity to the milk factory while on my shoulder! he seems more settled down there.

8:23 pm

Guten Abend, Babblers. Anyone in the chat using a laptop, that wont boot at times ?

8:23 pm

that won't boot? i use a laptop

8:23 pm

or tv tray top rather

8:23 pm

feather - you could well be right. Males, especially young ones, do get distracted by a set of two.

8:24 pm

gotta go fold laundry, daddy's here to rock bouncer

8:24 pm

hiya inge

8:24 pm

Seems like a great book for a good read, jac

8:24 pm

friend of mine has a laptop that wont boot up even after many tries. Then comes back to functioning after a day or tow

8:24 pm

inge - Hi. Not using laptop right now 'cos it won't boot. LOL. If it would, I would be on it listening to all the Babblecasts I can't listen to properly on this silly new PC.

8:25 pm

Hi, inge!

8:25 pm

hi Kate, how warm is Toronto these days: WE are having a double Indian summer

8:26 pm

Pam - it is, and I highly recommend it.

8:26 pm

Hi Inge!

8:26 pm

it's still pretty warm up here, it's been mid 20s all week

8:26 pm

See you later, feather.

8:26 pm

Has anyone seen Lsley lately?

8:27 pm

hi guys, can I get clues for my last 5 words?

8:27 pm

Lesley - newly married about 6 months' ago.

8:27 pm

Guten Abend, all of you who said hi and the others, the lurkers as well

8:27 pm

Hi Ornith

8:27 pm

Hi, Ornith. Ask and ye shall be given. LOL

8:27 pm

8:28 pm

sp5/18?

8:28 pm

>*))<<

8:28 pm

Oh, lbd, didn't realise you used the term 'spud' in US.

8:29 pm

fish'n chips, highly recommended Ornith

8:29 pm

sp5/18 - a comedy take off of something serious.

8:29 pm

yeah, I like fish and chips, except in this context

8:29 pm

sp6 is the plural.

8:29 pm

farce

8:29 pm

ty jacula

8:29 pm

jac, yup use spuds all the time

8:30 pm

the clueing is going so well, I am just leaning back and enjoying

8:30 pm

to5/10 (first) and to5/12?

8:30 pm

So, lbd, you know what a 'spud gun' is then?

8:30 pm

2000 pounds + ** re me fa so la ti **

8:30 pm

thanks lbd

8:31 pm

a cannon that shoots spuds?

8:31 pm

first to 5: slightly roasted bread

8:31 pm

to5/10 (1st) is breakfast bread.

8:31 pm

all sorts of things to go with my fish tonight~

8:31 pm

fireworks, thanks guys!

8:31 pm

You might like baked beans on to***.

8:31 pm

easy puzzle tonight

8:32 pm

Or marmalade on to****.

8:32 pm

Well done, Ornith.

8:32 pm

whoooo hoooo ORNITH

8:32 pm

baked beans on to5? really?

8:32 pm

can't believe I missed all words that I actually knew, sheesh!

8:33 pm

i love marmalade

8:34 pm

brb, the floor cleaning robot is done cleaning and needs rinsing out'

8:34 pm

ok, gonna head out, may or may not be back for flip. night all

8:34 pm

oh there you are

8:34 pm

It was an easy grid... I got all but 12 words over my morning cuppa... Other Half sneaked oo4/5 (1st) in when I wasn't looking, just repeating himself from night before then. LOL. And then I found the remaining words when I came in for a cappuccino when we got back from the rubbish dump/recycling centre.

fireworks

8:35 pm

Kath - tell the floor robot to bend over and brace itself for the power washer.;-)

8:35 pm

night ornith

8:35 pm

Well done admad.

8:35 pm

Whooo hoooo admad

8:35 pm

later orinth

first time I didn't have to ask for clues -- though the lottery-like word would have had me stumped if I hadn't seen that clue

so, thanks, to .... Jacula, I think

8:37 pm

y/w, admad.

8:39 pm

congrats all finishers! Yay, admad

8:40 pm

ok, floors and robot clean, now I can babble in peace

8:40 pm

ok trying again

8:41 pm

jac, thanks for the advice re: listless. i'd prefer to do it that way rather than go to the list and find all the stupid easy words i'd missed!

8:42 pm

feather - it's normally plurals that are missed, or 'ier' or 'ig' endings.

8:43 pm

But, sometimes, it is simple 4/4s.:(

8:43 pm

yep. down to 16 now.

8:43 pm

Meant *ing endings not 'ig'.

8:43 pm

but if it was a grid with a lot of really weird words, then i'd go for the list

8:44 pm

But, feather, how would you know they were weird word unless you checked the list?

8:44 pm

by asking you and watching the log!

8:44 pm

I mean, you could look at a grid and think, 'What the ***?'

8:45 pm

haven't heard much grumbling on this one, as opposed to yesterday's

8:45 pm

Other than that, you only have the log comments to go by.

8:45 pm

yep. plus the fact that i'm mostly missing 4s and 5s.

8:45 pm

the 6s yesterday killed me!

8:45 pm

darnit. beady baby eyes staring at me.

8:46 pm

ok whew, closed again

8:47 pm

how many ST words are there please/

8:47 pm

beady baby eyes! lol

8:47 pm

9

8:47 pm

I was about to say I can't remember yesterday's grid but then I remember how cross I briefly felt with my best friend today when on the 'phone to her and she said, yet again, of our teen years, 'Oh, I don't remember anything about those days!' WHY doesn't she?

8:47 pm

it's fairly dim in here, and all i see in his face when he opens his eyes are little dark dots

8:48 pm

How can she not? Is this a common ailment for women of 50?

8:48 pm

selective memory, Jac

8:48 pm

Hi babblers! Long time, not been here!

8:48 pm

ok, i have 8 of them

8:48 pm

BGL! where the heck have you been?

8:49 pm

Hi, BGL.

8:49 pm

Hubby and I became an "instant family". We now have a 3 year old and an 11 month old foster children.

8:49 pm

Selective memory is no excuse, dawg. Mine's not selective, so why should hers be?

8:49 pm

hey ya bgl

8:50 pm

that's really nice bgl!!

8:50 pm

st 4.4x2, st4/5, st5/10. st5/12x4. st6/21

8:50 pm

*kisses the dawg*

8:50 pm

WOW BGL, that's a full house! how exciting for you.

8:51 pm

Nice, but completely chaotic. It has changed our life drastically. Somehome changing diapers and playing has become more important than Babble... no offense.

8:51 pm

Jac, selective on her part, because she doesn't want to admit to her youth. too bad for her.

8:51 pm

sheesh, it was the st6

8:52 pm

BGL, boys or girls or one of each?

8:52 pm

st 6/21 word is plural of the st 5/12 word featherbee

8:52 pm

yeah, found it as soon as i saw it was a 6

8:52 pm

ty though!

8:52 pm

One of each: the 3 year old is a girl and the 11 month is a boy. Adorable blond curly hair and big brown eyes for her and blue eyes for him.

8:53 pm

Oh sorry, featherbee. I thought you were asking for clue. Do you need other clues featherbee. I am here.

8:53 pm

how did you get them?

8:53 pm

ok, ty. i'll let you know!

8:53 pm

dawg - I don't really need to ask that, re the selective memory, given what I've seen in the teen clinic and the alzheimer's clinic. Alll I can say now, so far in my life, if thank God I still have almost total recall. All the events in my life are what have gone towards making me, as well as the genetic stuff, and, at 50, I don't think being 'Me' is a bad place to be. It could be better, had I taken a different path or two in life, of course, but it's still a pace I am content to be in at 50 and and half years' of age. LOL.

8:54 pm

fireworks.

8:54 pm

hi peeps

8:54 pm

yay monkey!

8:54 pm

hey monkey

8:54 pm

Congrats, monkey!

8:54 pm

that's good jac, I hope I can say that about myself when I get there

8:55 pm

Congratulations MonkeyMind on your fireworks!YAY!

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

We are in the KY foster care system. Received the call last Friday (Sept. 28) at 10:00 in the morning and picked them up at the office at 3:00 that afternoon.

8:55 pm

I talked to 3 old schoolfriends on the phone today. " of them have total recall re our teens.

8:55 pm

Nicely said, jac!!!!

8:56 pm

to Feather

8:56 pm

wow! at least i had 9 months to adjust to the thought of a 3 year old and a baby!

8:56 pm

thank you for being there for them, BGL!!!!

8:56 pm

How fortunate for the kids to be able to stay together. (((BGL)))

8:56 pm

got it. no idea what it was, as i monkeyed so fast it flashed to the next red word before i realized it was found!

8:57 pm

lol feather

8:57 pm

Yup - it happened again... just like busses in the UK.. wedding don't come along for ages and then you get 3 all at once. I've been to 1, my best mate's, due to go to another on 10th November with a cruise up the River Severn to follow. Who will be no 3?

8:58 pm

missing one O. have 1oa, 2oo, 1op, 2ot

8:59 pm

hi all

8:59 pm

i feel like a dopey ding do4/7- i see that little stinkin' "e" now

8:59 pm

hey doxy

8:59 pm

sorry to be ignoring chat so much! i feel like i'm on a deadline though, don't know how long he'll stay asleep right now

8:59 pm

Hello doxy1lover! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

9:00 pm

hi doxy

9:00 pm

Even though I 've been there before got 2 kids and a tee-shirt. I'm beginning to, quite illogically, feel 'left on the shelf. LOL. Other half hasn't got divorced yet... after nearly 4 years' togetherness. Call me old-fashioned if you like, but I'm not comfortable 'living with another woman's husband'... even if she doesnt want him.

9:00 pm

jacula, I was reading through the log and saw your entry regarding your friend not remembering her teen years. I don't remember much of miine either.

9:00 pm

2 oa,

9:01 pm

oh right, anagrams

9:01 pm

ty

9:01 pm

I do not remember much of my teen years either Jac.

9:01 pm

doxy - do you know why you don't remember yours?

9:01 pm

My dad left when I was 12, I figure I have blocked all of those memories out because they were not happy ones.

9:01 pm

Minver - also, do you?

9:02 pm

(((doxy))))

9:02 pm

i sometimes wonder if my sisters and i lived in the same house. our memories aren't always the same.

9:02 pm

come to think of it, I don't remember much of being a teenager and I'm only 24

9:02 pm

I just chalk it up to bad memory and boring teen life.

9:02 pm

((DOXY))

9:02 pm

Ah, getting it now. I've asked my daughter (whose Dad left us when she was 8ish) about early memories... she's 'blocked', too.

9:03 pm

he's been dead now for over 2 years, the only thing is I didn't get to ask him why he didn't keep in touch with his girls.

9:03 pm

i don't understand how you could not keep in touch with your children

9:03 pm

i can't imagine not being part of the boy's lives in some way

9:03 pm

My son, however, has total recall. That's a male thing, I guess. 'Problem! What's happening? I'm the man now.'

9:04 pm

for some people the contact is the pain. whether it's the spouse or the offspring.

9:04 pm

Guess it depends on the relationship you had w/them

9:04 pm

how many SP please?

9:04 pm

There has been and still is a small amount of 'antler clashing' in the house. LOL

9:04 pm

true dawg. just hard/sad to imagine it being that way

9:04 pm

I've been there, doxy. I was 11. My dad moved to Florida, found a woman and her family and forgot about us (okay, that was my perception). He died when I was 19. I chose not to go to the funeral - that made some waves, but such is life.

9:04 pm

he was an "out of sight, out of mind" type person. I talked with my step-brother at the funeral, he and my aunt (whom I met at the funeral) said that he loved us girls (4 of us) and talked about us all the time. You would never know from the way he treated us.

9:04 pm

9:04 pm

7 x sp

9:05 pm

9:05 pm

(((bgl)))

9:05 pm

9:05 pm

please

9:06 pm

I understand totally bgl.

9:06 pm

my oldest sister's father was that way, yet when he was dying, she had to go see him in the hospital and take care of his business/affairs.

9:06 pm

eat tea and to*** for breakfast

9:06 pm

Thanks, renfield, but after 16 years, I'm over it! (Or at least I've learned to deal with it). :)

9:06 pm

Hi goldies

9:06 pm

to5/12, a heavy weight and "how ** you **?" a greeting

9:06 pm

to 5/10 is plural of the to 4/4 word & to5/12 rhymes with not a co-op but a c**** goldies.

9:07 pm

still looking for my missing SP

9:07 pm

This is a painful subject - what parents, mostly unintentionally do to their children (see Phillip Larkin, The F*ck you up, your Mum and Dad poem'.

9:07 pm

my youngest sister was only 4 or 5. she says she didn't have a father.

9:07 pm

Which sp word are you missing and need a clue for?

9:08 pm

no clue min! lol

9:08 pm

sp4.5x2, sp5.12x2, sp5.14, sp5.18, sp6.30

9:08 pm

I'm sorry for bring up pain in the log. There again, getting what you want to say said is no bad thing.

9:08 pm

as in i have no idea

9:08 pm

Okay, I hear Josh and the baby coming upstairs. I must go do the "mommy" thing. See you all later- next time there are a few minutes of peace in the house! At least they start day care tomorrow - but then I have to go back to work on Tuesday! :( Good luck all!

My parents apologized for not remembering.I said as long as Mike and I remember, that is all that matters.

9:36 pm

I'm not sure having my hubby cook is a present. he's a good cook, but he's a messy one, and i'd be the one cleaning up after him!

9:36 pm

8 to go, stuck on ta 4.5, clue pls?

9:36 pm

Well, for a startm, when you lose a man and that old, ratty dressing gown is still hanging on the door, it still smells of him, doesn't it? Pheromones are far too powerful!

9:37 pm

at the end of the day the bugler would play this on his bugle Relarion.

9:37 pm

ta4/5 is he ta** his pencil when he's thinking relarion

9:37 pm

TY lb, how'd I miss that?!

9:37 pm

yw

9:37 pm

Oh, and sights and sounds csn bring back memories, too, but, mostly, it's the sense of smell that floors you.

9:39 pm

Other half sounds to be rousing for work now.

9:40 pm

I must soon replace him in the bed in the honoured by time 'starfish' pose so I can do my my work whilst he does his, thus leaving him MORE work to do at the next weekend. LOL

9:40 pm

It's a good thing he loves me, isn't it?

9:42 pm

He gets about 4/5 hours' sleep, I get 7-8.

9:43 pm

Life's a sh*t, ain't it? I earned by sleep!

9:43 pm

Fireworks for me.

9:43 pm

Well done, relarion.

9:43 pm

Congratulations relarion on fireworks! Hooray for U!

Nite lb. Yes Jac I know, too cute.

9:47 pm

9:48 pm

relarion just said a word!

9:48 pm

Night, Jac!!!! And, congrats, relarion

9:48 pm

Starfish in the bed, not tarfish. LOL

9:48 pm

pam - are you gently telling me to go forth and multiply? LOL

9:52 pm

Oh, no, LOL, I thought yo were signing out...

9:53 pm

night everyone, see you tomorrow.

9:54 pm

Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

9:54 pm

I just figured out what goodreads reminds me of. In 6th grade, we had a chart with our names and we were to put a star up for each book we read--only we had to write a report to get the star. Teacher noticed I was reading more books than there were stars. Told her I wasn't interested in "winning." I was already motivated to read--on my own. Eventually, because i liked her, I wrote more reports than I would have been inclined, but still...

9:59 pm

Pam - oh no! Surely not? I didn't see it that way.

10:02 pm

I know--it's me, Jac, LOL!

10:03 pm

I just go into there solo andd post my books and what I think about them. Only one to coment so far is Jillibus, and I thank her for that.

10:04 pm

I am going to try to skim others' sites for books to add to my to-reads, and catch my list up as I think of it, Jac.

10:05 pm

I need to scan by newly reordered bookshelves. However, I'm not sure goodreads could cope with al of the 'read', and 'to read' in one go.

10:06 pm

I think you are probably right, Jac--you read A LOT!

10:06 pm

The books on my 'to read' shelf, pam are just a small part of the ones actually here on my shelves at home. I don't go in for 'bboks I want to read but havem't yer purchased'.

10:08 pm

Reading has always been a big part of my life, pam. Writing, also, but diminished for a decade, when life crisises (is that a word) all broke at once.

10:08 pm

That makes sense, Jac.

10:09 pm

I think it's crises, but yes, that makes sense. Same for me.

10:10 pm

The to-read I have is one I either bought or will buy tomorrow as I ahve wanted to read it and Doren's review made it my next novel.

10:10 pm

Pam = when you are trying to make sense of what life's throwing at you, it is not always possible to write about it except in personal letters to people.

10:12 pm

True enough, jac. I found lots of babbling, writing broadcast e-mails, and individual e-mails really helped. Letter would have been nice, but I needed more immediate contact.

10:13 pm

If you are a writer at heart, you will still hold on to the things you said in yyour personal letters. Hoepfully, you won't also hang onto thing your friend said in reply to make money out of them. I have been so p*ssed off by a number o friends through this. In my view, the mistakes II make in life ca n be laughed at and paid for... I will not betray my friends by writing about them without their permission.

10:15 pm

pam - When you needed a helping pen, I would have been there, had you given me the postal address.

10:16 pm

Well put, Jac. well put. I had all of my friends letters throughout the years, thinned them out, and then lost majority to a mold in the trunk...

10:16 pm

Thanks, Jac. But you were there--here ((()))))

10:18 pm

Weve gopt a postal strike inm UK now. 48 hours strikles, staarting Mondaysm and Thursdays. So, effectively, no post in UK at present. Whilst I do understand the postiea' argument, I still must caution them that they are playing into the hands of pivasation.

10:19 pm

I do wish I hadn't now lost the ability to spell and ttype correctly.

10:21 pm

Privatization is the bane of certain areas of existence...Ok, I am fading, fading, fading. Ciao and cheers! Great chatting, jac,...

10:21 pm

Havig lost those abilities donesn't mean I can't chat, but it might seriously compromise my clueing abilities.

10:21 pm

And, nice ot see all of you

10:22 pm

Pam - I was there? I'm lad for that.

10:22 pm

*Glad

10:22 pm

You were. and now, to sleep I must go.

10:22 pm

*blink

10:23 pm

I think, I must also go, pam.

10:24 pm

I mean, no one here want me whittering on withot aany serious clueing ability. LOL

10:26 pm

hey y'all

10:26 pm

I'll just b*gger of now and listen to a bit of Led Zepp or Black Sabbath and then away to the land of nod. (Notwithstamding night sweats.)

10:27 pm

10:31 pm

Hi all--6 left

10:32 pm

po6,21?

10:32 pm

hi dandy

10:32 pm

hi ping

10:33 pm

po6/21 could be the plural of po5 - lottery sound alkike word.

10:33 pm

Or, it could be the root vegetable that gives the worrld fried chips/

10:34 pm

a spud, dandy

10:34 pm

that's funny--I just couldn't see that one

10:34 pm

how about st5,12

10:35 pm

Personally, I love bakes spuds with salt qnd cheese.

10:35 pm

a spud is one of the 6/21 words but the other is a strange word that is po then two vowels that are the same, then 4th vowel and then plural. the 5 is the singular.

10:35 pm

But, sometimes, I like them with baked beans, or chiilli con carne. LOl

10:36 pm

two st 5/12.....one is opposite of start, plural. the other is the same first 4 letters and then another consenent at t he end...........never heard of the word.

10:36 pm

i've been craving spuds lately

10:36 pm

Who knows what I might like each day? |Not me... till I get there. That's the fun of being 50.

10:36 pm

jac, did you get rennie's news this weekend?

10:36 pm

I've never heard of it either--but it worked, ty!

10:37 pm

the second 6/21 is a kind of lemur and the plural. the singular is 5 letters.

10:37 pm

Piong - yes, I did.:((

10:37 pm

clues needed anyone?

10:37 pm

10:42 pm

10:42 pm

hmmmm

10:43 pm

i'll do that again. to5 rhymes with a word meaning an apt with a mortgage

10:43 pm

mkg - that reminds me.. I was talking toi an old schoolfriend earlier who9 said she and her partner had been to Bei-Jing in the Spring. They'd not been able to decide if the thing they were eating was fish or chicken.... it was only as they left the restaurant that they noticed the tankof bullfrogs. 'It WAS delicious, though!' my friend told me.

10:44 pm

I actaully had to control myself not to throw up, as she told me that,

10:45 pm

still can't get it, ping

10:45 pm

I know I'm going to feel silly when I do!

10:45 pm

11:28 pm

LOL I did that with the to5, franny. (you go, girl!)

11:31 pm

11:32 pm

2 to go! both t's! whhhheeeee

11:32 pm

my last word was fo4/8...

11:33 pm

oh boy stid! haha

11:34 pm

oh man, saphyre! *giggle of recognition*

11:35 pm

and this keyboard is making me crazy - ughh

11:36 pm

oh lord, would you believe my last one was to4 (something to do with a horn) ???? ARGH - but, i did it! whooppeee

11:36 pm

I tend not to check what I am typing because I really CAN type-

11:36 pm

I have been making more typos than usual, but it's probably the German Shepherd nose under my hand...

11:36 pm

YAY franny!!!!!

11:36 pm

to make it worse, of course i'd done the plural of that word ages ago!

11:37 pm

lol - it's usally a schnauzer nose for me

11:37 pm

urgh. I did that at least twice today!

11:37 pm

lol franny I did the opposite the singular at the beginning and the plural was my last word

11:37 pm

congrats

11:38 pm

thanks. now, let me ask you - since i don't get fireworks often at ALL - i thought i'd seen where, sometimes? - there's a video too?

11:38 pm

I just am not sure how to go about cleaning a laptop keyboard - afraid I will vacuum up the keys or something

11:38 pm

if you use the lickety browser, there is a video that will play when you finish. Assuming you don't, I can still send you the link to previous videos...

11:38 pm

my husband has this can of forced air, you spray it - the can gets really cold, can't use it too long at once, but it blows little stuff out of the cracks. i need mine cleaned better than that even tho.

11:39 pm

stid, is that the thing that doesn't play on Mac? i know i tried to get some new thing lickety does, but he doesn't have it for Mac

11:39 pm

well, you CAN pop the keys off and the just blow out the stuff under them. I do that all the time. It only takes a couple of days for me to remember which key goes where... *tongue in cheek*

11:39 pm

I think my chat froze

11:39 pm

refresh your page saph

11:39 pm

yes, that is the one. but the videos might play. hold on.

11:39 pm

I tried the air - doesn't do much - probably cat hair from my cat sleeping on it to stay warm

11:40 pm

thanks - brb

11:41 pm

Eric tried that on his laptop and snapped one of the keys so I rather not take the chance

11:42 pm

well poo. I can't seem to find the link at the moment. sorry franny.

11:43 pm

try this... http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /fireworkshistory

11:45 pm

hoping for a bigger grid since I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow

11:45 pm

why not? on vacation?

11:45 pm

no off on Mondays normally and no appointments, errands, etc

11:46 pm

hi stidmama

11:46 pm

that's nice. I have thursday off... in theory

11:46 pm

any help with bottom a??

11:46 pm

hey dispatch! how are you?

11:46 pm

i am just fine

11:46 pm

a + what peas grow in

11:47 pm

trying to work through the rest of this grid

11:47 pm

not sure which one came off the bottom A

11:48 pm

I only remember because I needed help on the ap4 and the at 4... and cleared the top and bottom as at that point. *sigh*

11:49 pm

so, 12 minutes to flip... I predict a 225 word grid because I am helping at Mother's school in the morning and then lots of errands before I can get home.

11:49 pm

thank you stid

11:49 pm

what next?

11:50 pm

in that case stid, i hope for an easy small grid for you

11:50 pm

hmm I predict 158 even though I wish for a bigger one

11:50 pm

i have no prediction at this point

11:51 pm

haven't gone to licketys but should

11:51 pm

how many left?

11:51 pm

however, with 12minutes adn 48 words...i don't think even lickety could help me at this point

11:51 pm

11:52 pm

oof. well four words per minute... LOL

11:53 pm
