12:23 am

i'm sort of a diamondback fan myself, i've actually met some of the players because their farm team is in missoula

12:25 am

i can remember it like it was yesterday

12:25 am

hey... the D'backs coulda just lost one, you know??

12:25 am

Oh, harp... my therapist says I can't mention 86, or I'd discuss that with you....

12:25 am

1:20 am

ty jellen, i like to know these things!

1:24 am

hello everyone -- how's it going?

Hi Jilli I have my head in the grid

hi jilli

1:25 am

it doesn't get stuck, ruru

1:25 am

that should have started with "I hope"

1:26 am

in the sl8

1:27 am

Must go now. See you later, everyone!

a very good morning to you all :)

1:31 am

bye jellen, melon, MVA

1:32 am

note to self: out is not really there, out is not really there!

1:32 am

yorn

1:32 am

there are two warm ploaces in the grid which don't count, of course, and I've been to both -- Oahu and Amoy

1:32 am

yorn is, but not valid

1:32 am

LOL jilli... longing for sun?

1:33 am

places

1:33 am

yorn nice to point that out sprite

1:33 am

and all star wars fans know kotor is a word

1:33 am

lol

1:33 am

lol ruru!

1:33 am

we actually had a lovely sunny day today but the prediction for the next 7 is rain

1:34 am

something likewise here... we had 2 lovely days this weekend. Prediction for the next 150 is rain

1:34 am

kind of a brokeback mountain kind of word...

1:35 am

rain here tomorrow

1:36 am

phantom word: monotony

1:36 am

ottomane is another phantom

1:36 am

what does that mean?

1:37 am

lol sprite -- you have remarkably prescient weather forecasters!

1:38 am

yeah, we have. Mostly because they don't give a &%$# whether they are right or not ;)

1:38 am

a cushioned footstool, ruru

1:40 am

oh just a mis-spell

1:41 am

is it? Ottoman in english then, I bet :)

1:41 am

yup :)

1:41 am

that is how I spell it

1:41 am

lol... thanks Ata, and a very good morning to you!

1:42 am

ottomanes are too hairy

1:42 am

one day I will learn...

1:42 am

yay someone noticed me :)

1:42 am

ottomane is the dutch spelling

1:43 am

of course I do! You also commented on star wars words earlier :)

1:43 am

*hugshugs*

1:43 am

but since you mentioned a K word, I felt not spoken to ;)

1:43 am

LOOOOL

1:43 am

hi ata

1:45 am

I want fo4on. That ottoman is something you can put your fo4on. And it is alternative spelling for the japanese cover too.

1:46 am

I wanted 'hatroom'....

1:46 am

I wnat hoplite

1:46 am

but enable doesn't want fo4on :(

1:47 am

closest I have ever been to that one was chatro4... but since enable won't recognise internet, a chatro4 will be not valid either.

1:47 am

I want honey

1:47 am

mo5 is there though. You can buy some from that, jilli!

1:47 am

phantom word #3 : morons

1:47 am

pronk should be a word

1:48 am

I tried that too, ruru. Well, the singular, but still.

1:48 am

it is, just not in this grid

1:48 am

thanks, sprite

1:48 am

one of the GW professions is in the grid though, ata, and valid!

1:48 am

anyone get that U on the bottom?

1:49 am

Isn't pronk a Dutch word, please?

1:49 am

I want siphon. Hello everyone

1:49 am

not yet chic

1:49 am

its used in afrikaans, certainly

1:49 am

just pronk it on the counter...

1:49 am

hi lynxxx

1:49 am

necroma - no ...

1:49 am

hi lynxxx! Yes jilli, it is. It means... err.... what a peacock does with his feathers all up.

1:49 am

yes, ruru, that's the idea...

1:50 am

Oh, super, sprite!!!

1:50 am

pronk = the springing movement of certain antelopes

1:50 am

I thought that was spronk ;)

1:50 am

well!

1:51 am

spronk is when you injure yourself pronking something on the counter.

1:51 am

lol

1:51 am

it's a phantom anyway, sigh

1:51 am

the old, big farms (from the very rich farmers) used to have a pronkkamer... a room that was always ready to have the mayor visiting.

1:52 am

lol ruru

1:52 am

ow, yes, indeed ruru :)

1:52 am

a ro4 I mean, sigh... *goes to penalty box and makes some coffee*

1:53 am

I already left some cookies there sprite

1:53 am

ah, they are delicious, ruru!

1:53 am

you can spronk them in the coffee

1:54 am

*spronks around freely in the pen. box*

1:54 am

lol

1:54 am

spronks spritely around the penalty box

1:55 am

hehehe :)

1:55 am

I'm beginning to wish I'd never started this pronking

1:56 am

we are just pronking fun

1:56 am

are we starting to irritate you, jilli?

1:56 am

never, sprite!

1:56 am

my sides are hurting from laughing

1:56 am

I am glad! But then why wish you'd never start this?

1:57 am

owwww I see! Now that is gooooood exercise, jilli ;)

1:57 am

just found the ho 7

1:57 am

ummm.....what's pronking?

1:57 am

hi babblers!

1:57 am

wtg ruru! Only 7 I have is the pr

1:57 am

transexuals take their h07/36

1:57 am

good question, gobble :D

1:57 am

Hi Fran !

1:58 am

hi Fran! *hug* hi gobble... a non-existing word in english, but it might be just born now.

1:58 am

thanks ruru!

1:58 am

gobble don't go there... we just dropped it

1:58 am

jilli is going nuts

1:58 am

hi lynxxx! hi sprite!

1:58 am

*blushes....OK

1:58 am

speaking of which... I need to call a friend of mine who is doing just that... hear how it goes.

1:58 am

it isnt non-existent!

1:58 am

hi fran!!!

1:59 am

* looks around in penalty box for the dropped pronk*

1:59 am

hi jilli!

1:59 am

thanks Ruru

1:59 am

*** note to self... never say pronk to anyone ever again...

1:59 am

don't blush, gobble... it was a totally logical question. We are just fooling around.

2:00 am

hey lynxxx *hug*

2:00 am

and it IS a real word!

2:00 am

i started at the flip, but had to take a break for dancing with the stars, my guilty pleasure of the moment.

2:00 am

of course it is. We all know enable doesn't know the first thing about english.

2:00 am

a real Dutch word

2:00 am

OK....off to the dictionary

2:00 am

Hi Sprite

2:00 am

a real ENGLISH word!

2:00 am

lol Fran... we cannot have too many guilty pleasures, if you ask me. Glad you had fun :)

2:01 am

oh

2:01 am

the dictionary says: jump straight up; "kangaroos pronk"

2:01 am

its the bouncing movement some antelopes make!

2:02 am

see, what Ata said!

2:02 am

hi everyone hope your all well can i have todays stats please and are there any over 5

2:02 am

but since it is a phantom, we cannot even check if it would be accepted, lol

2:02 am

interesting word....much room for mischief there.

2:02 am

it's not found in the dictionary

2:03 am

but ata is more educated than enable, so i believe her.

2:03 am

hi cool. 147 words, 1x8, 5x7, 15x6

2:03 am

147 words cool girl

2:03 am

yay! I'm better than a dictionary :)

2:03 am

Hi CoolGirl

2:03 am

hey, I know green peas who are more educated than Ata.

2:03 am

gah! not sure what that says about enblae!!

2:04 am

join me in the penalty box, gobble... much ro4 for mischief here too :)

2:04 am

you meant enable of course sprite?

2:04 am

I just googled pronk and it came up with a fashion website but I promptly lost interest when there was a tab for "policie's"

2:04 am

it definitely does not say anything about you, Ata :)

2:05 am

LOLLLLL yes, I meant enable! I meant enable!

2:05 am

morning sprite thanks for the stats

2:05 am

the penalty box? Sheesh, the story of my life....*plays tiny violin...hee hee.

2:05 am

oh! well *that* makes it a bit different!

2:05 am

yw coolgirl

2:05 am

ah, but the penalty box in babble is THE best place to be, gobble. Good company and great treats.

2:06 am

I'm there!

2:06 am

well, jacula would have choked on that apostrophe too

2:07 am

welcome gobble... here, take a drink, and have some of those lovely cookies ruru left us...

2:07 am

errr which one, jilli?

2:08 am

oh, I see, the one in policie's

2:08 am

too stupid for words indeed :D

2:08 am

at 2:04 when I google pronk

2:08 am

right, sprite

2:08 am

hee hee, i thought that was your typo jilli! :-)

2:09 am

lol jilli, I was rereading my own posts to see where I erred with the apostrophe... took me a while to realise I was on the wrong track.

2:09 am

I think I'm askeered to try those cookies.

2:09 am

no -- I put it in quotation marks on purpose, lol

2:09 am

they are delish, gobble. I also made pancakes, they are right there on the stove...

2:10 am

I'm hungry...

2:10 am

grin jilli... I know you would never make that kind of typo :D

2:10 am

come over here, jilli, you can have as many as you like

2:10 am

so am I ...wandering off the get coffee, etc

2:11 am

2:27 am

just what I was thinking fran

2:27 am

yep I bet that is it fran

Hugs everyone

2:27 am

it's just more fun to clue it the other way. :-)

2:28 am

hi herin -- thanks for your Canadian Thanksgiving icon

2:28 am

hi herin and hugs to you

2:28 am

hi flosey!

2:28 am

hi flosey

Thats ok i have my happy bath place today

2:28 am

hi Fran

2:28 am

good to see you back

2:28 am

you missed mine yesterday jilli

2:28 am

Hi Jill

2:29 am

that's a great bath infernal

2:29 am

that bath area is bigger than my living ro** though.

2:29 am

thanks flosey!

Hi back. Im a little sad that i didnt finish yesterdays as i was out all day.

2:29 am

I wish I'd been able to see it, fran, but I was away

2:30 am

where is that spooky bath, herin?

2:30 am

it was a tough one infernal, had to use morewords for quite a few.

2:31 am

how many words were there for that tough one yesterday?

2:31 am

jilli, that "revolutionary" baby bath tub you have has been around for centuries. i think it's called a bucket. :-)

2:31 am

368 or something like that

2:31 am

it is back to the womb, your icon, jilli :)

2:32 am

it was a huge grid, jilli

2:32 am

no, fran, the website emphasizes that it's not like a bucket -- I think there's some kind of shaping at the bottom

2:32 am

there is, the thing is basically womb shaped.

2:33 am

I'm glad I was away for that nasty monster yesterday

2:33 am

that is apparently the whole idea, sprite

2:33 am

it was fun though, some challenging words, but also heaps of fast ones.

2:33 am

okay, i'll have to google it then, looks like a bucket from here.

2:34 am

ok all you Ma 6 of Babble and guys, off to bed I go.

2:34 am

night chic

night chick

2:35 am

bye chic *looking for ma6*

2:35 am

the only difference between today's grid and the one yesterday is the number of words and most were not in today's

2:35 am

oh i just wanted you to know that my bird bath is solar.....

2:35 am

Terry Goodkind's sliph is in the grid, though not valid :(

I have no idea where the bath is i googled it and there was about 387 yesturday but the thing was i out all day

2:36 am

woot chic :)

2:36 am

oooh forget about the GW profession being in there *looks*

2:36 am

clever birdbath, chic -- I wondered what that thing was

2:36 am

cool chic

2:36 am

ele, mesmer, ritualist, assassin, paragon, aha!

2:37 am

some difference, BabbleRabble :) Read your profile text for today, lots of interesting thoughts there. Are you feeling lonely today?

2:37 am

you got it, Ata!

2:37 am

never leave town without a good healer ;)

2:37 am

interesting order which I think of the professions ...

2:38 am

especially since you do not mention mine at all, Ata :P

2:38 am

ma 6 is like a ma **** of honor jill

2:38 am

Who is Terry Goodkind?

2:38 am

exactly! I think warrior and ranger would be the last I'd think of. or dervish

2:39 am

the writer of the Laws of Magic series, jilli.

2:39 am

sorry, luna

2:39 am

ruru I guess my brain is shutting down -- I though of that word but couldn't see it -- now I do

2:39 am

I think it should be the Sword of Truth series.

2:39 am

oh -- don't know that series

2:40 am

Wizard's first rule is the first book.

2:40 am

Now Cat is bugging me again -- back later

2:40 am

bye jilli, hug Cat from me

2:40 am

later jilli!

back soon

2:41 am

later infernal!

2:42 am

bfn lady

2:42 am

not particlularly ... I am interesting in the symbiotic nature of today's world for so many and the increasing body of research that finds emotional health has a significant role in maintianing physical health

2:42 am

interested

2:43 am

ah, I see! It is fascinating, for me anyway. It is something we have always known, haven't we... scientists are always the last ones to discover the wheel.

2:47 am

Absobloodylutely..."emotional health has a significant role in maintaining physical health" !!!!

2:50 am

po 5 /18 anyone?

2:50 am

I'd recommend these scientists go beyond inventing the wheel and make their research beneficial to society. Like: how to build a community that offers comfort to lonely people.

2:53 am

in the US, quite often one sees a general practioner who refers a patient to a specialists for specific problems. The GP's rarely made referals to the emotional health specialists. Conversely, mental heath specialists rarely provided patient records to the general practioner. With the competition in the medical arena, there is little cooperation among medical professionals

2:53 am

po 5 -- add a pronoun that sounds like a female sheep

2:53 am

yes, that is certainly one of the problems.

2:54 am

thanks babrab!

2:54 am

the 8: a method for building large towers or bridges from concrete. The name refers to the moving form the concrete is poured into, which moves along the project as the previously poured concrete hardens behind it. The technique has also been applied to road construction.

6:29 am

6:29 am

preethi... yo4/6 ..in the olden days

I did see that too

6:29 am

rolin - I saw it in the newspaper, yes.

6:29 am

so if its good enough for the police...it should be good enough for enable..lol

6:30 am

Agreed, rolin.

6:30 am

oh wow...can i have that bathroom jac!!

6:30 am

Got it! Thanks a ton Rolin!

6:31 am

np preethi..*s*

I was in a court case were the guy 'found the images of unsavourness on the net' that didn't fly as the police took 5 weeks to defrag his pc

6:31 am

rolin - I wouldn't say no to that bathroom myself. Herin's is nice, too.

I have made a sim house with a similar pool/spa set up

6:31 am

is there a bathroom theme happening?

6:32 am

rolin - Yes. Today's theme is 'bath tubs'.

6:33 am

Incidentally, rolin, your icon Monroe is in the grid. Not allowed, though.

6:33 am

oooh so it is....i have to change her...i got her for babbles birthday

6:33 am

herin - I'd rather have the real thing!

Real thing would be great

6:35 am

Yes. I've always fancied a big, sunken bath.

6:36 am

ok..ive tubbed up... tho i am definitely a shower person

Oh that would be lovely. My Aunt had/has (her daughter lives in her house now) a fantastic big spa

6:36 am

Ooh! Nice, rolin. V. romantic.

6:37 am

i think it looks like little natives are gonna come out and build a fire round it..lol

6:37 am

there... i am with washroom now

6:37 am

That was a fun grid. All done.

6:38 am

ya know...i think im gonna have to put the heating on....

6:38 am

If we all love tubs like these, how come we've all got ordinary oblong baths? I'll bet we have. *Dreams of Lotto win.*

6:38 am

Well done, Lori.

6:38 am

or maybe i should start my wii up and get the blood flowing instead

6:38 am

wowsa lori... ur a power babbler this am...<pompom TWIRL> for lorip

Rolin you ahve a WIi?

6:38 am

rolin - LOL re the natives. I see what you mean.

6:39 am

oooh yes....herin....i LUUURRRVV my wii...

6:39 am

Carlee - another dream bathroom. Lovely!

6:40 am

6:40 am

( its from the burj al arab in dubai )

6:48 am

No worries carlee. I'm sure it is weird, but you're doing great, and we're proud of you. The only thing in the rest of the world you NEED TO KNOW, is that the Yankees are gone! LOL :-)

7:14 am

quite alright Scarydeb

7:17 am

hi babblers everywhere !

7:17 am

Hi Montreal!

7:17 am

Hello Montreal

7:17 am

very late flip here... just starting...

7:18 am

I have only been here about 20 minutes.

7:18 am

it goes pretty quick, Montreal

7:18 am

hi mom and scary... grid is of a more decent size than yesterday's isn't it ?

7:18 am

yes it is

7:19 am

if they are less than 200 I stand a good chance of finishing

7:19 am

I've just started struggling with 66 to go!

7:20 am

at 386 yesterday, it was the biggest grid that i've ever completed...

7:21 am

Good morning, Mom, scary, montreal and everyone! NIce-looking puzzle today!

7:21 am

didn't finish yesterday but managed to get 225 of them

7:21 am

I finished the 444 a while back and luckily that was a rainy Saturday as it took me most of the day! Hello Scarlet

7:21 am

g'morning scarlet, yes just started myself

7:21 am

Good morning Scarlet. Are you happy this morning with the results of last nights game?

7:22 am

Yes, I am Mom...but, the humanity of Joe Torre and the pain of those fans usually hits me in the gut... I have suffered for years, but, LOL, it IS why I enjoy the games!! Are you a fan, Mom?

7:23 am

what happened scarlet ? the indians were leading when i webt to bed...

7:23 am

not a big fan, will watch once in a while. I love to watch our son get so involved in the games though

7:23 am

He was saying that Joe Torre might lose his job over this

7:23 am

went*

7:24 am

Cleveland won, big time, montreal...

7:24 am

YOUPPI for the Indians !

7:25 am

Yes, George Steinbrenner said that he, (the Yankees) would not "invite Joe back next year if he didn't win... after all, we ARE paying him a lot of money"... the chuckleheaded moron... what kind of owner is that!! Yahooo, montreal!

7:25 am

have to go and say goodbye to the family and they venture out in the "real world" while I spend my day in Babbleland.

7:26 am

Okay, Mom...hurry back.

7:26 am

I don't care for George Steinbrenner at all

7:26 am

later mom

7:26 am

will do .... bye for now

7:26 am

bye Montreal

7:27 am

i find it particularly rewarding when an owner, who year after year, BUYS a championship team, fails in the post-season- it is some kind of justice.. in my eyes anyway

7:28 am

So the games shape up like this: Thursday, 8 p.m., it's the Rockies vs Arizona for the first of the best of seven; then the Indians go the Fenway to battle the Sox in what is going to be a war!

7:29 am

i like the bostonians myself... and you ?

7:29 am

I hear what you're saying, montreal, and I totally agree that money doesn't buy passion and the best type of players... look how much Steinbrenner spent on Roger Clemens...Blast his caveman soul... heck, he could have fed a third world country with those bucks!

7:30 am

Beloved and I are are long-standing BoSox fans... even though it is the Mets who have my heart. 1986 was my dream world series!

7:30 am

AND it didn't work... i find some hu5 in all of that...

7:32 am

It is Karmic justice, I agree, montreal. Look at these unknown kids with all but one of the teams going into the October Battle... who ever heard of them before this year... they have grit, they have desire, and no one ever told them what they CAN'T do...

7:33 am

absolutely !!

7:34 am

Okay, then, now that we have the baseball world all straightened out, and I am awaiting the Canadian invasion, let's Babble!! *Smiles to montreal*

7:35 am

And I say Go Red Sox!

7:36 am

okay (while we keep looking for missing spare parts for our massive helicopter fleet, all 3 of them)

7:37 am

Hello Everyone

7:37 am

Good morning, Gail, and Go Sox... I love Big Papi and of course, Manny being Manny... LOL. Good morning, Preethi!

7:37 am

hi Gail and Preethi !

7:37 am

Hows it going Scarlet?

7:37 am

fireworks!

7:37 am

Hello Montreal

7:38 am

Awesome Angel...! Congrats!

7:38 am

Angel strikes again. Congrats

7:38 am

LOl, montreal... I told you, don't worry about your Air Force or Navy... come over the falls in a barrel!

7:38 am

Congrats, Angelsong. Is it really true about the house? Congratualtions on that wonderful news!

7:39 am

a number of crazy cannucks have done that... some with disastrous results...

7:39 am

way to go Angel ! yust must have been up early.

7:41 am

I want you folks to know - I had surgery on my cervical spine last Thursday and only missed ONE grid. If I hadn't had trouble swallowing, I could have gone home the next day and not missed any.

7:42 am

amazing Gail ! i assume it was fairly serious ?

7:43 am

It involved metal plates and lots of srews.

7:43 am

Ohmigosh, Gail... You are this month's recipient of the Babble Bravery Award! Talk about obsessed... LOL

7:43 am

make that screws.

7:44 am

Yeah, it's an obsession.

7:44 am

Why did you require surgery, Gail??

7:44 am

you are a TRUE babbler Gail - bravo !

7:44 am

I had a herniated disc, some big spurs and compressed nerve roots.

7:45 am

resulting fro an acident Gail ?

7:45 am

Now, I wonder if we can find out if Toad&toadette Babbled through her dellivery... any word yet? Ouch, Gail... I hope the surgery was successful and that you are reasonalbly pain-free now?

7:45 am

are you feeling better now Gail?

7:45 am

Nope, I have lupus and a lot of arthritis since I was in my teens.

7:46 am

I feel great now. I have feeling in my left hand now.

7:46 am

sorry to hear that Gail... hope you are feeling allright now

7:48 am

Did the surgery alleviate some nerve pressures that allowed feeling to return, Gail?

7:49 am

Yes, he put disc spacers in to relieve the pressure and the plate on to hold them in place. All I have is a little scar on the front of my neck.

7:50 am

*stands and salutes Galliant Gail's perserverance* I shall not complain about a 386 word grid again.

7:50 am

Amazing, Gail... I have some friends who had that surgery and they claim that how they feel now, is nothing short of a miracle.

7:50 am

Someone say Toad had her baby? How is she?

7:51 am

LOL, Shawnee... I don't know anything about T&T, but I do know that she was having contractions on Sunday...

7:51 am

I envy her, I have 8 weeks to wait for my bundle of baby joy.

7:52 am

I was just wondering, based on Gail's incredible addiction to Babble, if T&T did the grid through labor... LOL

7:52 am

I believe yesterday's would have put her over the edge.

7:52 am

A December baby... my daughter was born 12/18

7:53 am

now, if she were a TRUE babbler, she would have !!

7:53 am

I made sure I finished up before I left for the hospital on Thursday.

7:53 am

have to have your priorities strait !!

7:54 am

absolutely

7:54 am

LOL... we are one hopeless buncha cocoanuts!!

7:54 am

She is due to arrive Dec 4, but I tend to go early and fast. She is on strict order to wait until I finish my Thanksgiving meal though. lol

7:54 am

Good morning everyone....Gail, you are a tr 5/12 er! I salute you and wish you a speedy recovery and a relatively pain free life. You deserve it.

7:55 am

good morning Annie !

7:55 am

And labor/delivery has computer so I won't miss my Babbling

7:55 am

Ha, I love it when we talk Babble.

7:55 am

Good morning, AnnieBrooklyn. *Hot coffee and macadamia nut cookies for the staunch fan*

7:55 am

Hi montreal!

7:55 am

gotta go - BBL - bye for now

7:55 am

bye montreal

7:55 am

Later, montreal.

7:56 am

later all - "poof"

7:57 am

Waaaaahh! But I must say, the Indians outplayed, outpitched the Yankees. It hurts to say but I must be honest. Let's see what happens with Torres...after the stupidity of Steinbrenner's threat I dont think Torres will manage the Yanks even if George says "Sorry". He rose to the mountain of dumbness again.

7:58 am

Well said, AnnieB... I just looked at Joe's face all during that game, and Rhett and I agreed: Joe, go retire and get some rest... you do not need this moron of an owner. Pitching was the key, Annie... Gadzooks, what a long game!

8:00 am

Byrd took his time...zzzzz but he got the results he wanted. Looking forward to the Indian-Bosox game. Should be a great match-up..

8:00 am

back again....

8:00 am

Annie, I meant to ask you so many times, did you have an opportunity to watch the original ESPN series, "The Bronx is Burning"? I didn't miss an episode of the mini-series, and thought it was very well done... even though Steinbrenner was portrayed as very benign...

8:00 am

* consoling hugs to red *

8:01 am

and to anniebrook

8:01 am

Kattie!! *Mega=hugs and smooches* How are you dear lady. Oh, kat, it is AnnieBrooklyn who needs the hugs... I was for the Indians to win, and they did!

8:02 am

oh..I thought u were a yankee fan too..my mistake...

8:02 am

ok...*mega consoling hugs* to annie...

8:02 am

No, I didnt see that series but will try to catch it at a later day. Thanks for the hugs, carlee. {{{{hugs}}}} to you...scarlet just fainted, smelling salts!!!!!!!!!!!

8:02 am

*Gasp*... ME, a YANKEE fan... *falls over on the cat*

8:03 am

* passing smelling salts to annie for red*

8:03 am

its..all... just baseball to me... sorry... but...now..hockey....

8:03 am

*waves salts under scarlet's nose* whew,,,she's stirring...

8:03 am

LOL... thank you all... now THAT woke my brain up!! I am still laughing Kat@!

8:04 am

Good Morning All

8:06 am

NO way, kattie...

8:06 am

8:07 am

The reason I watch hockey is the watch which great new Finnish player will rise to excellence... True,kat! :-)

8:07 am

Or something like that...bad mishmash of words there...\

8:07 am

ah...ok... do you get hockey night in canada?

8:08 am

NO, but we have ESPN 1 and 2, which often carry some decent games, but don't start until later inthe season...

8:08 am

with don cherry?

8:08 am

ah..too bad...

8:09 am

at

8:09 am

I know... and the state team, the Hurricanes, won the Stanley Cup in 2006... I thought, "Hockey in the South? Huh?" Kat, was your Thanksgiving restful and tasty? Happy belated holiday to you and yours.

8:09 am

at?... what are we "at" to now peri?

8:10 am

thanks red..but we skipped it.... up at hospital most of weekend

8:10 am

then my son had his season openner last night for his travel hockey team..they don't like heavy meals before a game

8:11 am

That makes sense, kat... you only have so much energy. Were you all able to share a bite of food then?

8:11 am

Oh, we crossed posts, kat. That answers that.

8:11 am

mornin babblers! im bAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

Morning Babblers

8:14 am

Shawnee, there is a link at the base of the Tile Stats grid, called Lickety's Babble Clues, or Angelsong's Babb;e Page that tells you the different themes for each day.

8:14 am

8:36 am

How are the salmon coming?

8:36 am

ah. them. well ... I've got 4 pages of drafts I sent to her ... so we'll see what she likes

8:37 am

Four pages! She'd better like something? Are you actually happy with any of them?

8:37 am

"something - exclamation point" I mean

8:37 am

one or two I like aesthetically. they look at least pretty to me, even if i dont like the subject

8:38 am

good afternoon everyone, has anyone seen ypsgirl today:)

8:38 am

so of course she'll hate those ones lol

8:38 am

Well, that's as much as could be hoped for. Now we'll see whether the client chooses the ugliest ones.

8:38 am

lol

8:38 am

Hello, jean.

8:39 am

Hi Jean. I have not seen Ypsi today

8:39 am

Congrats Vicuna on your exhibition

or to let the boat go ( :

8:44 am

thanks and good morning, Bubba and Grammaterri :)

8:44 am

ty gramma

yw ya'll hello

and thats fireworks for me

8:45 am

My favorite is the one with the salmon around the tail. In general I like the asymmetrical tail better, and the swirly clouds are nice. But, dare I ask, what about the kids name and foreign script?

8:45 am

Congrats Gramma

8:46 am

<POMPOM TOSS> for gramma

woohooo congrats gramma!

8:47 am

Yay for grammat!

8:47 am

dont ask LOL she hasn't given me that yet *cries* so that will have to get woven in later. great, eh? And I agree with you about my favourite. I'm really hoping she'll see that two great big salmon round the outside is a Bad Idea

ty ya'll neat vid, I must be off good day all

8:48 am

bye bye Gramma, enjoy your day

8:49 am

Maybe if necessary the mermaid could be superimposed over the salmon so that even though they were proportionally much bigger, only the heads and tails of them would actually show? Oh well, no use worrying til she returns comments. =/

8:49 am

decapitated salmon!

8:50 am

"Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads!"

8:50 am

perhaps I should do them filleted

8:50 am

That's my favorite way to see a salmon, anyway. Maybe with a nice soy ginger glaze... yum...

8:51 am

mmmmmmmm yes

8:51 am

or maybe some pieces of sushi!

8:51 am

lol I'd love to see the client's face if you presented her with the mermaid on a bed of sushi!

8:51 am

need some 7s now.......apart from a+sporting prize.....

8:51 am

lmao thats almost worth doing

8:52 am

and she *does* actually like sushi a LOT lol

8:52 am

ho 7/36

8:53 am

pr 7/32

8:53 am

hi everyone ! - have another 6/7 combo movieman - elementary particle inside the nucleus...

8:53 am

So she might actually be amused, at any rate. I guess now you know how Sargent felt having to do all those society portraits.

8:53 am

I was thinking of a punch line to a joke for the ho 7/36

8:53 am

this really is the difference between getting paid to do something, and doing somethign for fun cos its pretty!

8:54 am

best not use it for a clue, as to not offend anyone

8:54 am

got the ho7, tx mom

8:54 am

LOL mom, ty. I know exactly which joke you mean

8:54 am

you're welcome Montreal

8:54 am

:) Ata

8:54 am

we all have 'em mom and ata...

8:55 am

you're welcome also Ata, and your artwork is beautiful

8:55 am

those are all the 7's I have

8:56 am

bottom row all bue... i know, not a great accomplshment today...

8:57 am

There is an sp7

8:57 am

That's how I have the best of both worlds. I do stuff for fun because it's pretty, and then eventually people pay money for it! Admittedly not vast amounts of money, but enough money that I know they really did like it and weren't just saying so to be polite.

8:57 am

Montreal, I think it is a great accomplishment

8:57 am

hi bubba

8:57 am

oh thank you Mom!

8:57 am

can't get the elementary particle one

8:57 am

you're welcome Ata

8:57 am

don't know what the sp7 means, but it like what a baby might call there eating implements

8:58 am

the ne 6/7 is also a car model...

8:58 am

never mind, just got it

8:58 am

sp7 is an alt spelling of sp6/27, too

8:58 am

client is going to have to really pay for this dumb mermaid and salmon. its taking a lot of effort, and honestly, I know I can at least get her a pretty design, which is more than most

8:59 am

thank you Bubba

8:59 am

got the sp 40... tx bubba, great clue !

8:59 am

Oh yeah, make her pay, all right! Do you charge by the hour, or the size of the design, or what?

8:59 am

Montreal, is there an ne6,7????

9:00 am

merci Vic, got the sp6...

9:01 am

brb

9:01 am

there is a oo 6/7

9:01 am

erm, it really depends. charging by the hour is usually not possible, because artists always put in more hours than they should! I suppose its more by size / design. A complicated big design = $XX, a small easy one = £X etc

9:01 am

oo 6/21 and oo 7/32

9:02 am

phantom: promontory

9:03 am

good one vi!

9:03 am

got all the 7s now......

9:03 am

Yes, I generally price things by size/complexity. And since I have absoutely no idea how much time I spend on anything all told, that would not be feasable. But commissions are always a different sort of thing.

9:04 am

and I do always have a "fudge factor". If I like someone / know someone can't afford what I would usually charge, they get it cheaper. I'd rather do something than stick on the prices

9:04 am

55 left and had better scoot off here and .... I don't know ... maybe wash the windows or clean the bathroom. Bye for now

9:05 am

later mom

9:05 am

bye Montreal

9:06 am

And in this case the fudge factor can go the other way: more expensive than if this were something you'd actually have enjoyed doing for free!

9:07 am

oh yes. very true! she gets charged extra for the annoyance factor!

9:08 am

I think thats the hardest bit of art, sticking up for yourself with prices. If something's been a complete pain, charge more etc

9:09 am

I agreed (though no contract has been signed!) to do some illustrations for a book of poetry. But the more I do the less I'm enjoying it! I am constantly thinking I should cry off the whole thing, and then deciding I'll see if it isn't so bad after all...

9:09 am

I've done three pieces so far, and it's to be 30 altogether! Aaargh!

9:09 am

Hey Ata, just shows yourtalent that you are able to design something given the items that had to be included. My preference is for the 2 that have the fish entwined with her tail but where are the chips?

9:10 am

And having been a poet myself, I'm always wanting to "fix" the dumb poems in addition to coming up with illustrations.

9:10 am

Vi, congrats on your success at the exhibiton :)

9:10 am

Hello, FMitch.

9:10 am

30! arghhhhhhh!

9:10 am

Thanks!

9:11 am

if you really decide to keep going, get something down in writing before you hit 10!

9:11 am

chips? nah. we decided on sushi earlier :P

9:11 am

Ah in which case you could use a couple of tomato flowers over her boobies

9:11 am

No kidding. So far I'm only doing the most interesting ones, so that if I cry off (or, of course, he does) I won't have utterly wasted my effort.

9:12 am

maybe some wasabi would be good

9:12 am

good idea, at least you'll have something useful to you out of it!

9:12 am

Spice it up a little, anyway. How on earth do you draw blobs of green and show that they're wasabi?

9:12 am

LOL but well done to you

9:13 am

(It occurs to me that for all I know he plays Babble! Maybe I should not be venting in a public forum!)

9:13 am

hmmm. good question.

9:15 am

Afternoon folks. I'm just finishing the grid before I get packed for trip to VENICE, lucky me!! I'm stuck on the PH 6, any clues please ?

9:15 am

9:28 am

9:29 am

Sick/ill and therefore not very productive

9:30 am

Well, I will put a wanted ad in the local paper then!

OH = Party ideas - FMitch - what has been your best party?

Ummmm, a weekend on a 40' boat and a surpise party on the Saturday night, that was a good one.

10:23 am

Batman themed party

10:23 am

A wanted ad usually comes with criminal face attached, doesn't it? Maybe situations vacant?

10:23 am

5 years old at the time

inge - I'm afraid I've offically resigned from housework for the next few days - whole family are away.

FMitch - 40' - wow - that sounds mighty fine

10:25 am

PArty at Licketys, I'll get the flight plan logged and get the 777 fueld and ready to go

FMitch - bring me something special

10:25 am

They say those guys who answer "wanted ads" clean your house out very thoroughly!

10:25 am

It was a friend boat we had many many happy times and outings.

10:26 am

Mikey would be a good one to come and help out, inge, he often spoke of spring cleaning.

10:26 am

F Mitch, hope you are fluying to lickety's via the USA.

10:26 am

I send the other 777 for the US contingent as last time it got a bit crowded.

FMitch - sounds awesome - But now - I'm thinking about a variant of Thomas the Tank engine - but for boats ...... just by your response ;-)

5 Years old!

Yah. Couldn't get ice cream then either. We got bubble gum with some sort of medicine in it. Tasted like crap.

isn't it though?

11:16 am

anyone have a hint for the at7?

11:17 am

at7 - means hardened muscles, especially if not used

11:17 am

a + t6

11:17 am

ah thanks.

11:17 am

yw

11:30 am

Doxy, I think at7 means weakened muscles from non-use

11:31 am

they can also become hardened if not used for extended period of time.

11:31 am

good afternoon, babblers.

11:31 am

hi bgl

11:31 am

bubba, if you've ever worked in a nursing home or rehab center you would understand me better.

11:34 am

I have never worked in a nursing home, but I do orthopedic surgery and the atrophy I see is wasting. I could understand that the bone may be protruding from the at7 but I have not noticed hardening of the muscle mass

11:35 am

I've seen some so bad you could not move the arm or leg, it was stuck in position. very sad, from not being put through range of motion exercises.

11:35 am

Maybe we are discussing contraction of the muscles with at7

11:35 am

you are right though. I looked it up.

11:36 am

very often the muscle mass contracts with at7, leading to fixed contraction deformities , especially of the extremities

11:36 am

Howdy babblers! Can anyone explain how the 'Tile Stats' section might be helpful. Not sure of its use.

11:36 am

howdy babblers. Can anyone explain how the 'tile stats' section can be helpful. Not sure of its use.

11:37 am

you can see how many words start with that letter.

11:38 am

bubba, I quit working nursing homes and such. now help deliver babies. much happier atmosphere

11:39 am

Thanks. so if I have P 10/23, there are 10 more words that start with P, yes? Sorry for the newbie clarifications

11:39 am

you got it acer

11:40 am

if you have P10/23 it means you've found 10 of 23 words that begin with P

11:40 am

acer, if you have 10/23, you have 10 words starting with P. you need 13 more, sorry

11:40 am

Doxy, I also never enjoyed geriatrics, then again was not very keen on OB, but must be much more pleasnt then nursing home. Uplifting most of the time

11:40 am

working with headache today

11:41 am

Merci beaucoup!

11:41 am

11:44 am

11:44 am

to untie your boat is the un6

11:44 am

woohoo! thanks.

11:44 am

thanks bubba

11:44 am

forgot that mo4 is also a noun.

11:44 am

and a verb

11:44 am

ho 5/16 means the first two letters are HO there are 5 letters and the total score is 16 points.

11:44 am

ho5/16 - the word starts with ho, has 5 letters and is worth 16 points

11:45 am

Bye for now, got to run

5:23 pm

jilllibus, your tub is creeeeepy!!

Hi Knight

5:25 pm

guess you have 117 already found then Knight

5:25 pm

3 weeks til my sister's due date!

5:26 pm

is the at7 related to the at5?

5:26 pm

do you know what it is Hurshy ?

5:26 pm

the at7 is what happens to your muscles when you don't use them

5:26 pm

well, i'm assuming it's a human baby, but all i've actually been told is that it's a boy.

5:26 pm

so i gues the answer it no?

5:26 pm

ty hurshy

5:27 pm

lo's down, mo's to go

5:27 pm

that's all you need hurshy !

5:27 pm

sorry gang, i really did pop in and out, am adding a recipe. yes, very excited hursh! and yep stid, i went up a pound after bunco rather than my plateau, which boosted me into being better about what i'm eating. still have 20 pounds to lose

5:27 pm

but what if it is NOT a human baby? suppose it is half cardassian or something?

5:28 pm

oh, you're going to be an auntie? what fun! you know I think auntie has got to be the best job in the world. You get to cuddle, but you don't have to sit up all night with a sick baby!

5:28 pm

hushy...you are going into the bounds of the impossible here !

5:28 pm

might be half xindi...

5:29 pm

no...it isnt !!!

5:29 pm

i've been eating whatever the heck i wanted for the past year. decided a dessert every day wasn't conducive to continuing to lose weight.

5:30 pm

knight: no it isnt

5:30 pm

true, probably not, but certainly tasty... LOL

5:30 pm

feather..you are lucky to have something to cut out...what if, like me, you are only eating what you should and are still to heavy !

5:30 pm

AT 7 is muscle wasting...

5:31 pm

then i would be very bummed karys! that stinks

5:31 pm

I know...I know !!!

5:32 pm

Hello all. I'll be here to clue, if anyone needs it, between bouts of ironing. Stid - I recognise your dream garden and I've been going through my gardening books to try to find out where it is. I KNOW I've seen it pictured in one of them.

5:32 pm

i went on WW after daniel was a year old and lost 35 lbs. it was hard, because i wasn't nursing any more, so didn't get allowed the extra calories that i am now! i did a lot of "light" foods to help cut calories

5:32 pm

thanks Jacula! so probably English?

5:32 pm

I think I have basically decided this is me !

5:33 pm

I think so, stid. I'll let you know if I find out.

5:33 pm

how was the grid stid? should i try it later?

5:34 pm

my computer just rudely rebooted itself.

5:34 pm

the grid was easy. over halfway in abut 30 minutes, grabbed the list and all done in 1.25 hours.

5:34 pm

and if half xindi, which species of xindi?

5:34 pm

oh man hurshy! what did you do to offend it?

5:34 pm

no mo' mo's, now a no

5:34 pm

Jac...you can't be ironing at this time of night ?

5:34 pm

starting now then, while nick is asleep and daniel is playing beside me

5:34 pm

and i don't want to cuddle the baby anyway. i will play with it when it is old enough to be interesting.

5:34 pm

Karys - I can!

5:34 pm

lol hursh

5:35 pm

Well, I have a project I am going to go work on... promised myself I would get a little bit more done today. :-)

5:35 pm

9:21 pm

Well, aussieme, you did spell dyslexic and tendancy correctly. :)

9:23 pm

Just back now from a huge heap of ironing, that had one of our Welsh members horrified at me starting at 11:30pm. I did and hour and a quarters ironing, which got my stuff all smooth, and then went into Goodread to do a few more book reviews.

9:24 pm

Um... actually, it's 'tendEncy.

9:25 pm

That's better! At least I know Aussieme is being honest now. LOL

9:26 pm

I came to clue for a while, but no one's here, or a least no ones talking... I'll b*gger off now, shall I?

9:29 pm

i think everyone finished jac

9:30 pm

sometimes the smaller boards wrap up pretty quickly

9:32 pm

Seems so, ruru.

9:33 pm

Darn! Knew I should have gone into Babble before tackling the teetering pile of ironing. LOL

9:39 pm

I can't believe th last word I entered was to4/6. a) considering it is my political preference and b) since I found tr4/6 first off.

9:41 pm

Think I'll go and take a shower in my dream bathroom pictured in my icon. Doesn't seem much point in hanging around here with no one wanted clues and no one chatting.

9:41 pm

I need the po5/18 please

9:42 pm

po + a word to describe someone other than yourself.

9:43 pm

It's an Argentinian armadillo with hairy underparts, apparently.

9:44 pm

Thanks Jacula. How about the second ma5/16 please.

9:44 pm

po + not me but '***.

9:44 pm

mo4/5 like, Betty.

9:45 pm

Uses sometimes vowel at end.

9:46 pm

mo4/5 = old word for a black man, used in Othello, or a word for the wilds of Yorkshire where Cathy sought Heathcliffe.

9:47 pm

There is no ma5/16.

9:47 pm

I'm sorry. I need the second mo5/16 please.

9:48 pm

ma6/21 is the bustling, frily-hatted boss of the hospital, or was up until about early 1980s. She wears a dark blue dress.

9:49 pm

Betty - Then I clued you right about black men and Cathy and Heathcliff etc.

9:50 pm

I thought that was the first mo5/16 Jacula.

9:50 pm

M + double vowel + consonant + 25th letter of alphabet.

9:50 pm

first one is cash.

9:51 pm

No, the first mo5/16 is 'the root of all evil'.

9:51 pm

You're correct. I guess there are three mo5/16s.

9:51 pm

Hi, BJ. Thanks for keeping on with your stats. xx

9:51 pm

only for some of us.....

9:52 pm

3rd mo5/16 is a computer imagery thing, for one definition.

hi all!

9:53 pm

You're welcome. Missed them a few times the last couple of weeks. Demo system goes south or someone wants a demo with a twist and we have to produce it right NOW. Long days, short nights, and 5 day headaches....

9:53 pm

LOL, BJ. We had a woman who won 35 million pounds on the lottery 6 weeks ago moaning about how it had ruined her life in our paper last week.

9:53 pm

So, doll, give it away! Make 35 or 70 people very happy!

9:54 pm

Next time I volunteer to look after a global demo system , I hope someone is polite enough to just shoot me...

hi bj! i'd be happy with 20G right now for a new car

9:54 pm

No, BJ... we'd like you to stay with us!

how many words are there?

9:55 pm

147 - soxfan.

thanks

9:55 pm

I can understand her pain. Every grasping greedy bog-trotter relative suddenly shows up on her doorstep or telephone I should think...

9:56 pm

Well, BJ, she should have stuck to the 'no press' thing.

9:57 pm

I might want my 15 mins of fame, which I've had lready, without photos being involved, but...

9:58 pm

That's an option? Man, what sort of repressive regime do you have over there? Over here you have to sign-up for that before they'll even validate your ticket.

9:59 pm

Oh ... grrr. LOL. I was just thinking about a dorrstep encounter from Monday,. They arrived... two mean with laminated badges hanging around their necks and a clipboard each. I opened the front door to their knock but not the porch door, which has on it a notice which read very clearly, 'NO CANVASSERS! nO SALESPERSONS.'

10:00 pm

You don't have to be literate to talk someone into signing on the bottom line..... And just think, these people are too stoopid to have a real job.....

10:02 pm

I mean, at least they aren't sitting around on the dole. You're still getting ripped off, but at least they are working for it. Think I'd rather sit on the dole myself....

10:02 pm

hi everyone

10:02 pm

They grinned, as I opened the door. One British, one Asian (Japanese, I think.) I pointed to the sign but said nothing. 'Oh. It's okay, luv (that word is always destined to make me mad!)' said the white one...'Everyone has that notice up. ANyway, we've come here to...' I pointed to the notice again and, as politely as I could, gave 'em the sign to go forth and multiply but not in my village!

10:03 pm

lol jac!

10:03 pm

oh? And what sign would that be?

hi dawg!

10:03 pm

Hi TO!

half a peace sign

Hi again what did i miss

10:05 pm

So... all of us around here only have a sign up saying NO CANVASSERS, NO SALESMEN to keep in fashion with one another? We don't really mean it? Oh LOL. It'#s nearly as bad as the people who have a go at you on the phone when you tell them they've dialled the wrong number.

hi fern

Waves

10:06 pm

Hi To and Herin.

I have 24 left all 4 and 5 long sigh

hey jacs! i was watching the film about the kids in london where the documentartist interviews them each 7 years

10:07 pm

hi Herin

Waves back i had to take a long break as this was driving me nuts

may i have a clue for ma6 please? ty

10:09 pm

Hi, TO. What was the name of the programme? Only thing I made sure to watch on TV tonight was the first in the new series of SG-Atlantis, followed by 'A Town Called Eureka'.

10:09 pm

I rarely answer the front door. The neighbors know to come to the side door as do all our friends.

10:09 pm

ma6 is the head nurse in a hospital... or was!

10:09 pm

TO, plural the mo5.14 above it.

hm it was on our public telly....

Oh Eureka is awesome Not to be missed, so i have been told

ty jacs

10:10 pm

ma....duh, never mind, brain is only half functioning.

10:10 pm

y/w, TO.

10:10 pm

Eureka, the tv show? I've caught a few episodes and it looks like a fun show to watch.

The tellly show. My USA friends are into it. Sadly we havent had in on free to air yet

10:11 pm

Samantha from SG has been brought into SG_Atlantis. That can only mean curtains for Elizabeth, eventually, methinks.

10:11 pm

Can't have 2 alpha females in one show.

I couldnt stand to watch SG (both sorts) and NCIS as they have stuffed the story arcs and the running of the show

10:13 pm

herin, http://www.scifi.com/eureka/ you can catch some of the shows here.

10:13 pm

Ronon Dex seems safe though. He took the advice not to pull the painful shart of glas out of his upper chest. Geeky Scottish guy with specs from SG-Atlantis also figured in 'Eureka'.

10:14 pm

*shard

10:14 pm

hi all

10:14 pm

I have to say that SG- Atlantis is my favourite.

10:14 pm

Hi, tim.

10:15 pm

does anyone find that babble expert interfers with other programs

i think carpoolers looked interestin. however, i watched the geek show about how samurai swrods are made.

10:15 pm

No idea, tim. Don't use it because I am a bloody-minded sort of person.

10:15 pm

lol

thanks for that its a lovely idea but i thinks due to me not being in the USA i am denied access

Hi tim

10:16 pm

hi herin

10:16 pm

TO - I think I've seen that programme bbefore, or else my son has described it to me in detail - Samurai swords are works of wonder.

10:17 pm

Hi tim, i don't have problems with expert and other programs.

10:17 pm

Hi, dawg.

10:17 pm

humm

to thnk the workings of the metal make those artful patterns on the blade...

10:18 pm

Herin - do you get SKY tv progs in The Antipodes? If so, which?

10:18 pm

hello, 31 to go

No we dont we only have free to air tv

HI Harp

10:19 pm

TO - wonder who has ever contemplated the pattern on the blade, or had time to, when it descended upon them?

hi tim

10:19 pm

hi to

10:19 pm

Oh, bad luck, Herin! Mind you, not many of the 100s of channels are worth watching.

good point : o

po5/18 please?

I dont have cable for the soul reason it is mostly lame and i can download from bit torrent from friends

10:20 pm

UK Gold is good, as are some of the music channels and some of nature channels, and history.

10:21 pm

There are versions of UK TV channe;ls that are not bad, also.

10:21 pm

sp6/27 last one please

10:21 pm

National Geographic.

nothing

10:22 pm

You can't go wrong with that channel, especially if you want to pick up Babblets!

we are too broke for cable

10:23 pm

sp (cutlery item) with the sometimes vowel at the end = sp6/27.

10:23 pm

I have that one the other one please

10:24 pm

Herin - your day will come. I know you don't believe it now. But, it will come.

po5/18? please?

10:24 pm

sp6/27 = sp4/7 (quite fit) with Mr. Clooney's emergency ward ending it.

10:25 pm

po + not me, TO.

With our cable there is 13 channels that i dont want but have to pay for and about 13 i do want but have to pay for so it is kinda sucky

ty jacs must look that one up!

ty jacs must look that one up!

10:26 pm

ty

10:27 pm

I got mightly p**d off with a friend of ours from NZ, and ex-pat at that, who came over here recently and moaned on and on about how bckward she felt we were. That was over her getting money out on her credit card. she moaned so much about UK that I felt like saying, 'Don't hurry back!'

10:28 pm

po5 is an argentine armadillo

Jac you should have said 'Hey thats us true Brits job to moan' :D

10:29 pm

Whinging POMS! LOL

10:30 pm

I'm sorry, herin, but when ex-pats return after 20/30 years they moan more than we still in situ ever would.

Yep

ty dawg

he he he

hey i have finished! ty!

10:31 pm

So, what do first or 2nd generation Aussie's do when they first encounter their mother country?

Not whinge get drunk :D

YAH TO

10:32 pm

whoooo hooooo TO

10:32 pm

Welll done, TO! BTW, any greetig like that is now unwelcome for Hurshy for the moment. From what I read in the log earlier.

wHAT Happened earlier?

10:34 pm

Dunno, herin. I just saw hursh post that if she said she had finished would she now be bombarded with congrats posts.

Oh

10:35 pm

She did not feel the posts were real, just 'generated' is the feel I got from what she posted.

?

oh for pete's sake!

10:36 pm

that's silly. if you don't want the congrats don't mention that you've finished.

hey i do care. Its great to finish as sometimes i dont even get far

*zips it*

10:36 pm

But, what the hell? It was a bit like when I had a go at Minver for her 'welcome' posts. Minver has since spoken and proved hersel;f to be real.

I love mins welcome posts its great that someone can do the grid (which can be a pain in the a at times ) and still welcome people individually.

10:38 pm

TO. I know what you want to say re people who purort not to use lists. Yeah. Best to zip it, girl.

10:38 pm

Herin - you do know she has a post ready and justs adds a name to it?

10:38 pm

it has to be better than nobody acnowleging you

10:38 pm

i love mins welcomes too. Makes me feel part of the chat.

10:39 pm

However, she's not doing that so much now and that is good.

Tell you what it beats a bunch of ignorant people that make you feel unwelcome

10:39 pm

me too

10:40 pm

Hi, all

10:40 pm

herin - I think I was once amongst those who you felt made you feel unwelcome?

10:40 pm

okay, what's proper protocol for when you come in and say Hi, and then a bunch respond back...do you say hi again individually?

No not here but when i have been on other chats strictly chats only people were really rude.

10:40 pm

Hi Jellen

10:40 pm

Hello, Jellen. I've been v. busy on Goodreads with reviews before I cme in here.

I usually go waves back and gets into it.

i am always afraid i will miss someon if i do

And now im going to risk saying i swear i am loathing the last 12 be it all 4 and 5 letter words

10:42 pm

Daeg - I'd go for the 'Hi,all/everyone' approach myself, unlesss I had individual messages for folks.

10:42 pm

I don't want to clog up chat with multiple greetings, personally.

head desk

10:43 pm

Ditto, Jellen.

10:43 pm

Mind you, chat only gets clogged when the grid is 300+.

10:43 pm

10:58 pm

hello babblers

10:58 pm

Hi, hk

ry4/6 means a peasant, but it sounds like what French peasants do when upset.

11:00 pm

on5/14 is a very UK word for 'troubelsome'.

11:05 pm

tim, to be fiesty or mischievious

11:06 pm

Or even troublesome.

11:06 pm

on5= stubborn or negative

11:06 pm

11:08 pm

i always miss that word cuz i pronounce it oRn**

11:08 pm

I have no idea if rikki young is a 'celebrity' or not. It just sounded like a good celebe name.

11:09 pm

g-ma, babble creator live on the east coast, so babble time is set for east coast time.

No G Man its not. We all in the world have different time zones. It is Wednesday 1409 here

11:12 pm

I've lived in Mountain time my whole life practically, yet I can never figure out when a tv show that's advertised as "7:00, 8:00 Central" will be on in Mountain Time....

11:12 pm

almost done jac

11:12 pm

eek!

11:13 pm

i just started

11:14 pm

eek was for tim, harp, but Il say it again for you.x

11:14 pm

Need to take a break. BBL.

11:15 pm

i wish there was an option on here to get the new puzzle sooner if you're done with (as in, give up on!) the current puzzle!!!

11:15 pm

lol

11:16 pm

lol Harp, i'm the same way. I've lived most of my life in mountain time too. When i lived in Arizona i was the most confused cuz they didn't do daylight savings!

OH thats right Jac day time hours. Hi Frany

11:16 pm

hi herin

I wish there was a holding pattern for about a week for grids so if you dont finish you can fiddle later

11:16 pm

Ditto, franny, but you'd miss out on nattering to us lot then!

11:17 pm

poor franny, but I agree with you for a new puzzle.

11:17 pm

oh, well, good point jac

11:17 pm

fiddle, herin??

11:18 pm

i've just spend the last 2 hours going thru a bin full of old cards and letters, from my childhood on - from my grandparents and parents... needed to weed out stuff, trying to lighten the load of my "stuff" (ie George Carlin)... odd going thru my life documents and remembering things...

Fiddle as in do as in poke for a bit

11:19 pm

i DO HOPE YOU SAVED ALL THAT STUFF TO DISC, fran.

11:20 pm

no jac - what i threw out was mostly greeting cards.. i saved all "notes" from those who matter..

11:20 pm

Iknew what you meant, Herin. Antipodes and UK understand each other far better then UK ad USA.

Oh did i say something that could be deemed inappropriate??

11:21 pm

That's okay then, Franny.

11:22 pm

No, Herin,. you didn't.

I just sorted and binned over 700 old emails

Got me a little paranoid then

11:23 pm

700? AndI thought my housekeepingwas bad LOL

that was only one account

11:24 pm

i probably shouldn't admit to having 8,500 emails in my Inbox then huh?

11:24 pm

Herin - you must keep on top of those things, even if the house collapses under white cat fur.

11:26 pm
