12:07 am

hiya fran

12:08 am

hi dc

12:08 am

well...i'm off to bed babble buds...love you ALL!

12:08 am

nite

12:08 am

not that easy fran, but i'm considering it

12:08 am

shdy, when you boil it down it's prety simple; you keep going as is, or you break up, or you talk to him about it. It sounds to me like you have allot of hope for this pairing, so breaking up because instead of talking because talking will be hard seems wrong.

12:08 am

g'night cathy!

12:09 am

BOTTOM LINE....if you cannot communicate with the one you love...there is no love...so move on.

12:10 am

joso, i know i need to talk, just too scared of the answer

12:10 am

surely if they are best friends they are communicating

12:10 am

in the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that"......*****pooof***** bye...sweet dreams all

12:10 am

if not in all the ways that each side may want

12:10 am

night cath

12:10 am

night cath!

12:11 am

Good night, Cathy

12:11 am

shdy, if you're scared to know the answer then you probably know it already and just don't want to face that you may not be suited for each other.

12:12 am

bk briefly to give {{{{hugs}}} to shdy...she is confused.... ****poof***

12:12 am

bye

12:12 am

I see paus(e), jus(t),law(s).....

12:12 am

ugh, me too jilli!

12:12 am

Time for me to go as well. Good night, everyone. (((shdy)))

12:13 am

night jellen!

12:13 am

oooh...and to apologize for my lack of patience with it....been there too many times.

12:13 am

bye

12:13 am

g'night jellen!

12:13 am

12:16 am

12:16 am

12:17 am

lol...k....don't complain then. go out and have fun with yer friends!

12:17 am

and he cooks for me

12:17 am

no...i'm not...never had a tenant that i had that kind of relationship with...was purely business which is how it should be for shdy

12:17 am

and he kisses me hello and goodbye

12:18 am

u have kids shdy?

12:18 am

no, just my goddaughter

12:18 am

k...so yer single...may i ask how old u r?

12:19 am

i'll go, and you can stay

12:22 am

thanks for caring

12:23 am

*hug* shdy, i'm sure you will figure out how to proceed, and what is best for you short and long-term. Such emotionally vested situations are always difficult.

12:23 am

i see u r hurting...and u don't want to see how u will spiral downward if u continue to let this person control you.....no ...we can both stay...

12:23 am

you've gotten a good deal of feedback, and i think you can reflect and figure out what to do, and when to do it.

12:24 am

70s hairstyle alert!

12:24 am

i've just been there. want to help u avoid the same kinda pain...and feel too strongly about where it could lead u if u let him stay in yer life

she told how once the snow melted while they were there, so she and 2 cousins walked back to get the carriage and cart so they could tow the sleigh back

well done lady

2:13 am

mrp.. i saw your videos...and know you have had hospital stays etc. for your arm......I must be late to babble...can I ask what was the initial cause of the probs.?...accident or disease or other?

dart, it was a rare bone tumour, which was treated several times, radiotherapy and keyhole surgery. Then, they find that I have chronic osteomyelitis (and not the 'garden' variety)... it is untreatable. So more surgery and more medication, and surgery again! I am now recovering and hope to not have this anymore!

they cannot tell how the disease came about, could have been caused by an accident, or by the surgery over the past 7 years

2:15 am

and that is why she is in my prayers every day... we4, ok, and because she is such a dearheart :)

thank you darlingheart! :)

2:16 am

sorry to hear mrp, i hope all goes well for you

2:16 am

i see people talk about it ...just didnt how it got to this point...thx....wish you all the best in the recovery :)

Mr PRes you just had to do it proper like didnt you? We loves you and hopes that every day it gets better

thanks so much :))

You're welcome

3:28 am

i'm actually a bit more annoyed than smug, as none of them read the explicit instructions on the form.

3:29 am

oh, glad to hear the pain's under control at the moment. :)

3:29 am

lol dc... you should know by now th4 about 98% of the people never read instructions or manuals.

3:29 am

isn't that often the case dc.

3:29 am

3:29 am

i *know* it, but i like to live in denial of it. :)

so, that leaves sprite, ardilla, me, and anyone else?

3:36 am

a lot of silent people, dc, for sure :D

3:37 am

yes, the silent majority, which it turned out in this country, was not, in fact, a majority, but a very vocal minority.

3:37 am

ohhhh I found the 10!

3:37 am

Me too.

3:37 am

WTG Sprite!

3:37 am

*grins at dc*

3:37 am

wtg Frances!

3:37 am

Well don, Frances!

3:38 am

Oh no....sorry......I meant me too here!

3:38 am

ah, and the 9 is similar.

3:38 am

I am glad you are here too, Frances :)

3:39 am

ah, glad to have you :D

3:39 am

yes, the 9/10 are botanical terms

3:39 am

and such a sweet icon

3:40 am

yes, frances' and montreal's were winners on smile day

3:40 am

I am gonna finish babble and then motivate myself to do the shopping. Won't it be great if I don't have to leave the house anymore today :)

3:41 am

i SOOO hate shopping :(

3:41 am

Now I got the ten!!!

3:41 am

one of the silent majority here.....thanks for taking about the sp 9 & 10 it made me find them

3:41 am

wtg Frances!

3:41 am

no offence intened, sprite, but you sound just like my mother when you say that :D

3:42 am

I am sure that is not at all offensive, dc :) As far as I heard, your mother is not bad.

3:42 am

Ah, and the nine

3:43 am

and in my defence: shopping triggers about all my panic buttons. It is very exhausting to me.

3:43 am

neat words, esp once i looked them up.

3:43 am

i don't relate, but i do understand, sprite

3:44 am

hey kathw, did not see your post, sorry. Hi and yw :)

3:44 am

hi, kathw, welcome, and congrats on the 9/10

Hi i am back. I cant believe how little i ate

3:45 am

to give you an idea, dc... I am covered in cold sweat before I even reach the store. I am having trouble breathing halfway in. I get real panicky when there are people behind my back arguing. And if there is a long queue, the pain will become unbearable before I get back home. No, shopping is not my thing.

3:45 am

wb, lady

SPrite can i make a suggestion

3:47 am

wb lady. I hope you do eat enough? If you eat healthy stuff, you lose more weight by good eating than by hungering... eating too little brings down your rate of processing

3:47 am

I bet you can, lady :)

SPrite i had a taco full of salady stuff. I wasn't that hungry.

Suggestion. Map out the store find an exit spot that you can go to quietly. ALso listen to your fav music in a music player.

3:48 am

it took me a while to learn that taco is a vulgar word in Spain.

3:48 am

is it? I did not know that, dc. Why?

I have to do this just about ever time i go out as i freak out.

DC can i ask what it means (polietly)

3:49 am

frankly, sprite, i'm not clear on why precisely, but i know it's rude. :)

3:49 am

one sec, gonna chekc the rae....

3:49 am

Our stores only have one exit, lady, and it lies behind the cashiers. And the music thing does not work for me, because if I cannot hear what is going on, I panic even more. But thanks very much for trying to help *hug*

DIfferent strokes different folks. It does suck

3:50 am

ah, ok dc, LOL. Like calling spanish people taco eaters maybe?

Sorry i am fuming at the mo brb

3:50 am

ok lady, take care

3:50 am

i see. reading the official definitions, it has the connotation of dildo in most of that country, except around Granada

3:51 am

In Granada, it means churro, which is a fried dough treat.

3:51 am

ah, I can see how that can be rude, dc, lol

3:51 am

primary definition is a wooden casing

3:51 am

often oblong

3:52 am

it is a food thing here.

3:53 am

we have tacos and churros and chimichangas and burritos and echiladas, and chimichurri, and bunches of other foods from similar roots.

3:54 am

kind of risky, to have such a common food word meaning something rude in the land of origin.

3:54 am

lots of foreigners will make that mistake, I guess

3:54 am

the food originates in Mexico, it's not rude here in the Americas.

3:55 am

ow, of course! Sorry.

3:55 am

Tortilla has the double meaning of omelette and the flat bread in latin america.

3:56 am

1st to5, pls?

3:57 am

t + not off + act

3:57 am

oh my! ty, sprite

3:57 am

:)

3:58 am

fireworks for me

3:59 am

oh, well done, sprite! congrats :)

3:59 am

thanks :)

4:00 am

Well done, sprite.

4:00 am

hey Jac! Thanks and *hug*

4:00 am

Morning all.:)

4:00 am

4:01 am

hi carlee, thanks

4:01 am

morning, carlee and jacula!

4:01 am

Yes, dcs. It's a darts trophy.

4:01 am

oh, neat. I've never seen one like that before. it's pretty

4:01 am

what is today's theme?

4:02 am

omg the vid is SO much fun

4:02 am

trophies, carlee

4:02 am

carlee - theme is 'trophies'.

4:02 am

ugh.....ok...well....I;ll pretend I didn't know it...and forget...

4:02 am

*gently kicks carlee for th4*

4:03 am

thanks sprite....word #1

4:03 am

*grins*

hi back sorry i find it easier when the house mate is over eating to go into te other room

4:03 am

hey herin {hugs}

4:04 am

that makes sense, lady

HI Carlee.

4:04 am

I have to be off, I hope you all have a terrific day and/or relaxing night. *hugs* dear gang.

4:04 am

We4, the sn4 is melting now.

4:04 am

Jacula - good morning. Straight to the point, did you watch Cranford last night?

Thanks Dc for that lactose free milk bought some today.

4:04 am

what's cranford?

4:04 am

ah Haz, Ata was waiting for you, but she is now gone to the vet with hobbit.

4:04 am

Haz - Good morning. I did indeed. Most enjoyable! You?

4:04 am

do let me know how that works out for you, lady

4:05 am

*poof*

HI Haz

4:05 am

Jacula, I was rendered helpless a lot of the time. The cat scene did for me completely.

HI Jac too

4:05 am

I did Haz. What did you think?

Oh and i bought Berry Sorbet too yummy

4:06 am

there u go herin

4:06 am

coconut sorbet is one of my faves, as is lemon

4:06 am

carlee - a TV series based on Elizabeth Gaskell's novel trilogy.

4:06 am

Hello Frances - I loved it. I want to live there to learn how long to visit somebody and how to eke it candles.

4:06 am

alright then...

4:06 am

eke out candles, that should be.

I dont like coconut. Oh that sounds interesting Jac

4:07 am

Same here re 'manners', Haz. Loved the cat scene, even though I did have a 'dodgy' tummy yesterday. The idea of the leather boot was good for medicine giving, though.

4:07 am

Haz, made me laugh when they said they were a two candle household but only lit the second when someone came calling.

4:08 am

The scene where the two ladies were jogging along followed by the sedan chair was wonderful.

4:08 am

Frances - the poor men carrying the gossip's sedan made me laugh.

4:09 am

The whole thing was wonderful Jac.

4:09 am

It was SO good. I've pre-ordered the DVD which doesn't come out until the end of January.

4:09 am

Well, I say, the gossip... they were all as bad! Especially Imelda Saunton's character.

4:09 am

Imelda Staunton only has to turn up for me to start laughing. She's so earnest in her character - and that feather!

4:09 am

Ooh, DVD? Think I'll do the same, Haz.

4:10 am

Who needs a telephone when you have those ladies?

4:10 am

It's at a bargain price on the BBC website, Jacula.

4:10 am

I'll check it out, Haz. Thanks.

Oh i do hope ABC buys that show it does look interesting

4:11 am

Now, having disrupted chat and given myself a dose of the giggles again, I'd better skedaddle and chase some dust. Back later!

4:12 am

'Bye, Haz.

4:12 am

Bye Haz. Enjoy.

4:12 am

i'm sure PBS will pick it up here 'ere long, edited, and on BBCA in full

4:12 am

ciao, haz!

4:12 am

Bye!

4:36 am

dcs, spring was on a wednesday here. blink, and it's gone

4:38 am

may that it cools down for a bit again for you. 'normal' would be what, highs 20-25 for this time of year?

4:38 am

4:38 am

4:38 am

4:38 am

It is stinky hot

NIght Xankia

4:39 am

4:39 am

ok..back to sofa... going to try and get 1-2 more hours of shut eye..this going to be a crazy as hell busy day for me... cu all tomorrow

4:39 am

hm. the geese skipped over us, we're the normal wintering ground for the ones that live up your way.

4:40 am

be well, carlee. :)

4:40 am

other then the few dumb enough to stick around ( parks etc...they get fed)... they left here end of sept ealy oct

Be well and get better Carlee

4:41 am

we had our first bushfire today, in our beautiful hills. haven't had a decent fire for a couple of years, so our hills a ripe for a raging fire season.

4:41 am

yes, i was just realizing that most of our year-round geese have left too.

RMC were?

4:41 am

oh, what fun. I'm hoping your hose is isolated from the fire, if not the smoke?

4:41 am

house rather

4:42 am

herin, my guess is out emerald way, little elvis went over head this am at about 7:30

4:43 am

dcs, have to be very careful of mother-in-law who lives with us. she has chronic asthma with COAD, and a low grade chest infection all the time.

4:44 am

oh, dear.

Sorry yelling at tv as its one week to elections

5:38 am

YAHHHHHHHHh you got a squeal from me

5:40 am

Is it a honeymoon baby??

5:40 am

yahoo Becca..................;)

I'm so excited , and terrified at the same time. Not a honeymoon baby, but not long after!

5:40 am

Welcome dusky...;-0

It's not due till July, so it's all VERY early. Told family and 2 close frineds, but no-one else yet

OK is this baby number 10 for babble land? do we need a special blog page for this

5:41 am

Is this your first Becca ?

Becca congrates

Yes, it's my first.

5:41 am

dusky, Lickety's Babble Clues, link below the grid, gives info like at4/5, meaning word starts with at, has 4 letters, 5 points.

5:41 am

thx hodag

5:42 am

Then it's somehow even more special !!!

5:42 am

dusky - make words 4 letters or longer from grid which must be connected letters. Grid tells you how many words there are of 4, 5, 6 letters etc and how many words come from each letter in the grid.

Yah Becca awesome. Congrates to you and yours

I feel really weird - already getting a bit nauseous and back ache, but feel like I shouldn't be because it's so soon

Thanks Herin

5:43 am

I was always asleep at the beginning of my first

5:43 am

every pregnancy is different becca. can you ask ur mum how it was for her? That's often a good indicator.

yeah might do that dc- but she's had 5 so will prob say they're all different!

5:43 am

ok think i got it thx much for your help

yeah karys - I am totally knackered too!

5:44 am

:) true

Spent half of last night panicking about what it will be like to have a baby!

5:45 am

and rather than having cravings, I always went off stuff, I couldn't stand the smell of lamb cooking !

5:45 am

any clues for the 9 & 10?

My friend turned veggie during her first pregnancy - couldn't stand to eat meat

5:46 am

Becca, it's the same for all of us, we all panicked, we all thought we wouldn't be any good at being a Mum, but we all get there !!

5:47 am

Congrats, Becca! And that's why we have 9 whole months to get ready --- so we can get over the panicky part. :)

Thanks Karys! That's good to hear

Well Becca congrats hope to see you on line sooner

Must go to bed now

5:47 am

On that lovely news, I had best go back to the ironing, I have a sort of plan, 30 mins ironing, then 30 mins babble !!

Hi Kris, thanks!

5:48 am

night herin

5:48 am

Hopefully not! I panicked for about a month, then got interested in learning as much as I could about pregnancy and parenthood, and so that made it a lot more fun.

Very commendable Karys!

5:49 am

gotta go now---bye

5:49 am

Well, Becca, there is a certain comfort in knowing that the first nine months is just the start of it ... you will have years to make adequate adjustments.

Bye hodag

5:49 am

bye hodag

Argh! Babble, now you're really scaring me!

5:50 am

"Having" the baby is the easy part.

I'm trying to just take it a little bit at a time - so, first is to get to the midwife appointment on 7th Dec, then it will be to the scan. After that I haven't really thought about yet!

Doesn't sound easy Chiley!

5:52 am

That's a good thing, becca -- one day at a time :). I have to scoot to get to work - happy hunting all, congrats again becca.

5:52 am

i ended up taking him to the walk in, and am glad i did. double ear infection, with the one looking like it was about to burst. she said it looked like a little balloon. he's got quite the pain tolerance!

7:11 am

hey ardilla, from tangleword??

7:12 am

I saw a kid like that on Sat--happy and running around with his brother, but he had a bubble ready to pop. When it pops the pain is relieved though and then the ear drum seals right over.

7:13 am

Oh, you are in the service. I didn't know that, Ardilla.

7:13 am

he certainly seems ok right now! he's bundled up like nanook of the north and playing in the snow on the deck. i'm glad i took the day though, will give my voice one more day to rest.

TY, Annie. I will certainly try to keep everyone healthy.

7:34 am

how you doing there sug?

7:34 am

inge - what ardilla said - double the consonant from the civil war general

7:34 am

Uh oh, Featherbee, what happened?

7:35 am

we were going to do applesauce this morning to get ready for our feast with the other kindergarteners tomorrow. she didn't want to, and i said i'd really rather she did. it wasn't like she was actually doing it, the room mom was coming in to do it, but she apparently didn't want the room mom in either

7:36 am

thanks, I thought she sadi double the vowel at end, which is already done

7:36 am

Control issues, huh?

7:36 am

however the room mom comes in anyway for centers, and would be doing it all anway! argh. i called back and gave a message to the secretary, said fine, have the kids save their apples for tomorrow and we can do it tomorrow.

7:36 am

i guess so. she's a retired teacher, you wouldn't think this would be an issue.

7:36 am

i could tell she was totally po'd

7:37 am

A bonk on the head for her from me, Featherbee. Balderdash.

7:37 am

ty. i hate having people ticked with me. which is why i caved and called back.

7:37 am

it's applesauce, for pete's sake, and for the kiddos at that. as a fellow room mom, I can feel your frustration, feather

7:38 am

the first time i was talking with her directly on my mom's cell (mom works at my school). mom turned her cell off, so i didn't get to talk with her the second time.

7:38 am

Did she explain why she had an issue with this? Something logical? Like an allergy? I know someone allergic to apples

7:38 am

nope, she just didn't want to do it.

7:38 am

but SHE WASN'T DOING IT! the room mother was! argh.

7:39 am

Wow. I would think her job was to follow the plan you as the main teacher had. Especially if she didn't even have to participate!

7:39 am

Control, control, control.....causes problems in the world.

7:39 am

argh argh argh.

7:39 am

now i'm all annoyed.

7:40 am

and annoyed that i called back and said fine we could do it tomorrow

7:40 am

Deep cleansing breaths, Feather. Breathe in the peace, breathe out the stress. She is so NOT worth it.

7:40 am

Good morning all...

7:40 am

ok, doing my yoga breathing

7:40 am

Hi Chiley

7:41 am

She is a do4/5, Featherbee

7:41 am

going to try to call my aide and give her a heads up that she's walking into a landmine

7:41 am

Good Morning All

7:41 am

Hi Periwinkle

7:42 am

hi peri

7:42 am

could someone please send some warm sunshine to Hoosierland, such a dreary, cold day here

7:42 am

hey peri

7:42 am

just started and words are not jumping out at me

7:43 am

not the easiest of grids, peri

7:43 am

Ours is the same--overcast, cold, with sn4 on the ground. The only nice thing is the smell of burning wood in fireplaces--I love that smell when I go outside to get my newspaper in the mornings.

7:43 am

hi chiley

7:43 am

I am going slowly too, Peri.

7:44 am

it's supposed to snow over here tomorrow

7:44 am

30 words in an hour (off and on) here. That's not so good

7:44 am

may I have clues for the 8's 9 and 10 please

that's about my speed, uniquity

7:44 am

I have a quick question for you recent moms....I have to take my 3 1/2 mo grandson for checkup today..my daughter thinks he will be getting vaccinations, but thought there was one that is optional that is suspected of causing autism...does anyone know which vacc. that is?

7:45 am

I just found sp7, 9 and 10 after clues from Chris--kitchen tool used when flipping pancakes

7:45 am

thanks Scrabs, found the sp7

7:45 am

pa8 knees

7:45 am

The truth is (based on medical evidence) that NONE of the vaccines CAUSE autism.

7:46 am

thanks ardill, got the pa8

7:46 am

Also, you need to bring a consent letter from your daughter as you will have to sign consent for any immunizations.

Yeah, peri I can't get the 9 or 10 from that clue either.

7:46 am

7:47 am

Tink of sp7 and turn it into a verb. sp10 adds a consonant in the 5th position, as if someone has a lisp

7:47 am

hi all

7:47 am

And featherbee has reached complete nirvana from yoga breathing, Her mind is a blank

7:48 am

9:23 am

You're welcome.

9:23 am

now I can concentrate on cleaning up the garden stuff that's been spread out all over the house!! - we have sheds for tools, etc. and a cold storage for apples, etc. but herbs, walnuts, etc have been spread all over for drying before storing

9:24 am

never dreamed we'd retire and become farmers !!

9:24 am

we have black walnuts everywhere as well. crop was small this year

9:25 am

Enjoy the indoor/outdoor gardening, flosey.

9:25 am

Oh, flosey, I can relate... I have to take advantage of the temperatures in the high 40s to put away the last porth furniture and the ladder... achy knees are barking at me, but, it must be done. Good luck on your chores!

9:25 am

sure do enjoy having all the fresh stuff

9:25 am

*porch*

9:25 am

fortunately have bridge here on Friday so pushes us to get it done

9:26 am

We will have Thanksgiving on Friday due to the children's strange work schedules.

9:26 am

lovely Scarlet, then you have them for the weekend too?

9:26 am

So, Thursday will be candy, cookie and pie baking day... I do love it!

9:27 am

yes Scarlet, lots of fun

9:27 am

Big Tom is thawing here as we speak

9:27 am

No, flosey.. this year, the girls and the grandchildren are having the feast in their respective towns... Ohio and South Carolina.. but one daughter and her gentleman are here in Asheville...

9:28 am

ah, quite a distance to travel

9:28 am

How big is Big Tom, Shawnee?

9:29 am

Right, flosey... it was so wonderful last year and then again, on the 4th of July... So, the workload will be considerably less this year.

9:29 am

our daughters are in Vancouver so less than an hour drive to ferry + 1.5 hr ferry ride

9:29 am

Good afternoon all Tea break time.

9:29 am

20 lbs, Scarlet. Hope my timing is right, he's pretty frozen

9:30 am

Hello FMitch - good idea, I'll put on the kettle for a cup of coffee.

9:30 am

You must be so grateful, flosey, that they are so close! Oh, Shawnee... it

9:30 am

it is perfect timing. Good morning, FMitch! So nice to see you!

9:30 am

indeed we are Scarlet, very fortunate

9:30 am

Okay, now I've worked it out. Big Tom is the turkey? Not Tom Selleck?

9:31 am

Three days in the refrigerator should be perfect.

9:31 am

I knew it couldn't be Tom Cruise, for obvious reasons.

9:31 am

and you Scarlet! HJaz, isn't George enough for you?

9:31 am

lol haz

9:31 am

If Shawnee had Tom Selleck, he certainly wouldn't be in the 'fridge... right, Shawnee?

9:31 am

No Tom Selleck here. LOL

9:31 am

If Tom Selleck were visiting Shawnee, he'd definitely have to be cooled down!

9:32 am

I just had to check. Not that I have an overactive imagination or anything.

9:32 am

Incorregible, the lot of you *grin*

9:32 am

Hello Vicuna - nice to see you.

9:32 am

pl7 please

9:32 am

ah but fun mitch

9:32 am

Even if he is a ravening Republican...

9:32 am

Hi, Vicuna!

9:32 am

Hello, Haz. The feeling is mutual!

9:33 am

LOL true, flosey

9:33 am

pl7 - a flat place

9:33 am

He might be, I would hate to be in the throes and have him delivering babies. heehee

9:33 am

thanks Haz

9:33 am

Oh, thank you, VIcuna.

9:33 am

Hello Vi ! how are you?

9:33 am

Hello, FM! I'm dandy, thanks. And you?

9:34 am

Happy to be babbling for a little while and catchin gup with everyone.

9:34 am

(Actually, I say dandy, but I do have to get the house beautiful before the arrival of father in law this evening. So technically I have been dandier!)

9:34 am

unfortunately passion is on hold for now. *sends Tom to Haz for safe keeping*

9:35 am

FMitch, is that gorgeous cat yours?

9:35 am

hi all :)

9:35 am

*passes Vicuna motorised feather duster* Do you want to borrow my Bulter?

9:35 am

I don't know that he's exactly "safe" with Haz...

9:35 am

And Atalante here, too? My cup runneth over.

9:35 am

Safe-keeping... Haz??? Not gonna happen... she sticks 'em in cubbyholes, you know...

9:35 am

Hi, Ata!

9:36 am

Oh Scarlet, I wish. Isn't he magnificent!

9:36 am

That cat looks like a Persian Pasha... so grand!

9:36 am

Ahem, back from making coffee.

9:36 am

Butler would be lovely. Unless he's the type that silently sneers at the state he finds things in.

9:36 am

Checking your cupboards, Haz?

9:36 am

poor Imran is now on hunger strike!

9:37 am

Awwww. Ata... has he been released from arrest?

9:37 am

Is "making coffee" a euphemism with you, Haz?

9:37 am

Yes, since George went, there's been a place ready.

9:37 am

Butler is very understanding. Hi Ata

9:37 am

LOL... good one, Vicuna!

9:38 am

nope, he's still being kept in solitary confinement :(

9:38 am

FMitch has got a butler?

9:38 am

Uh oh, that could be serious for Imran.

9:38 am

Not any more, Haz. She's sending him over to me.

9:38 am

Is he considered such a threat to the mess that is the government now, Ata?

9:38 am

yes Vi and I do want him back in one piece please.

9:39 am

apparently so

9:39 am

Awful.

9:39 am

No problem, FM. But you don't want me to treat him so well that he wants to stay with me forever!

9:40 am

I would love to have a Wodehouse version...

9:40 am

Scarlet, if you had a Wodehouse version, you'd be laughing so hard you'd disgrace yourself.

9:40 am

99.4 degrees is considered a low-grade fever, right? nothing too serious?

9:40 am

Perhaps, Haz, but it would be well worth it!

9:41 am

Red.. if the rest of you feels lousy, it is a harbinger of worse to come...

9:41 am

Oh I know. But I have to admit that the Fry and Laurie versions don't come close to the hilarity of the books. Or maybe it's just me.

9:41 am

Should be fine, Scarlet, if you have no other alarming symptoms.

9:42 am

I have to go back to Thorne Smith... his Skin and Bones made me hysterical for three days...

9:42 am

huh... my comment didn't go through

9:42 am

Vi, it's redshoes... I feel great!

9:42 am

You only need to start worrying whenever you start spouting nonsense. That's why I check my temperature on a regular basis.

9:42 am

Haz, as one that hasn't read the books, their rendition was very entertaining.

9:43 am

You haven't read the books? This is worse than me not knowing one end of Star Wars from Star Trek?

9:43 am

Ooops, deepest apologies, Scarlet and redshoes! I couldn't tell you apart through the crimson haze.

9:43 am

PHone....

9:43 am

... when you START spouting nonsense ...?

9:43 am

I haven;t either ...

9:43 am

LOL... that's Jimi's: Purple Haze!

9:44 am

Oh, leave Babble right now and sit down and read them, you deprived women!

9:44 am

mornin babblers!

9:44 am

LOL, FM... Hi, Eva... news?

9:45 am

i wish! heh

9:45 am

but, but *sigh* I'll put them on the 'to be read' list.

9:45 am

No excuses! Your life is not complete until you read some Wodehouse!

9:45 am

Best get the schlepping done now while it is so warm outside. See you soon, Babble Nation... I still have 27 to find... and it will be my "reward" for yard work!

bye bye scarlet have a great day

9:46 am

Bye, Scarlet!

9:46 am

Bye Scarlet *waves*

9:46 am

Thank you, Nono...and listen to Vicuna... Wodehouse was totally insane... *waves back to FM*

9:47 am

Sheesh, ever time I thinnk my lifes complete and I can rest on my laurels...

9:47 am

farewell Ms. Scarlet

9:48 am

*spending a quiet moment in "listen to Vi."* I like the sound of that.

9:48 am

'Ta, Shawnee! :-)

9:48 am

LOL... Vi...

9:49 am

Grabs squishy cusion and sit down at Vi's feet waiting to catch the next pearl!

9:49 am

(Uh oh, the pressure's on!)

9:50 am

Ummmm... A tidy house denotes an empty life?

9:50 am

Yay I like that one - my life is full then :)

9:51 am

Poltergeists make up the principal type of spontaneous material manifestation?

9:51 am

but it can't be 'cos I hvent read Wodehouse. Im confused. Pick up cushion and wanders over to PB to see if there is anything sugary left.

9:52 am

If Babble be the food of madness, play on!

9:53 am

(Whew, this wisdom stuff is harder than it looks. Maybe I'd better go back to being village idiot.)

9:53 am

*nudges Ata* I remember Vi when she was so good at this.

9:53 am

Awe (((Vi)))

9:53 am

I'm back. And I'll have to read back to see what I've missed.

9:54 am

Was that "awe" or "awwwww", because it kind of makes a difference!

9:54 am

And I'm so pleased to be backed up in the Wodehouse argument/persuasion.

9:55 am

LOL I started with awe and ended in awww

9:55 am

LOL

9:55 am

FMItch, the man was a comic genius, the most beautiful writer of prose with the ability to think up the most convoluted plots and get people on and out of escapades.

9:55 am

Shucks. I should have believed it when they said to be silent and be thought wise.

9:56 am

in and out of escapades. See, I'm breathless with the thought of FMitch not having read him.

9:56 am

Shocking, isn't it.

9:57 am

I have a look for some Wodehouse at the next car boot fair.

9:57 am

It puts FMitch in a whole different light...

9:57 am

Explains why it's always her fault, though.

9:57 am

Make sure it's PG Wodehouse and not Barbara Wodehouse.

9:58 am

Oh great, they are forecasting more rain for tomorrow :( Ha Ha woof

9:58 am

Do you remember Barbara and her 'Walkies!'?

9:59 am

HAve you seen how mean Ata is, she is making Hbbit wear a lampshade 3 sizes too big! Yes I do Haz, remember we are more or less the same age.

9:59 am

Better too big than too small.

9:59 am

it isn't! its cocker spaniel sized!

9:59 am

I've seen the lampshade, it's just a little big. Just what you'd know.

9:59 am

No ice cream containers then?

10:00 am

She looks as though she could receive signals from space.

10:00 am

no, and I've cut it down since those photos LOL

10:00 am

ROFL

10:00 am

Does she have stitches in the ear?

10:01 am

why is hobbit wearing the 'lamp shade'?

10:01 am

Because the cat refused to.

10:01 am

Oh, dear. Poor Hobbit!!! =(

10:01 am

It's definitely not a fashion statement, thats for sure. LOOOL

10:02 am

never ceases to amaze me how a 16 month old can wreak such havoc

10:02 am

no, no stitches. She's literally just scraped about a cm squared of skin off one ear. BUt she won't let it heal, she keeps making it bleed by scratching it

10:02 am

good a reason as any i guess Haz :)

10:02 am

And is Hobbit now a dog of GLOOOOOOM?

10:02 am

hahahahahaha

10:02 am

She won't wag her tail!

10:02 am

po6/21?

10:03 am

We cone had owners of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who took the collar off because the dog was 'huffing'.

10:03 am

poor Hobbit. Has the vet given her anything to calm the itchy feelings

10:03 am

po6/21 - structured as with the glass container of beer, wines, spirits or milk.

10:04 am

ty!

10:04 am

oh no! silly people

10:04 am

nope, but I've been putting antiseptics and a smidge of calamine on for her

10:04 am

no wag? poor pup. nothing sadder than sad puppy eyes and no wag

10:05 am

no wag at alll :(

10:07 am

She's just punishing you. She's probably dying to wag her tail but is exercising savage self-discipine.

10:07 am

lol probably!

10:07 am

Yes you are right Haz, I bet she wags like anything when it's taken off. ha ha

10:08 am

Of course, she could be worrying about what that terrier is going to say. After all, look at the fuss about her purple collar, a lampshade is going to render that dog mad with excitement.

10:08 am

lol she's refusing to go outside!

10:09 am

That sounds like Spangle when there are fireworks going off. She shows unprecedented bladder control.

10:09 am

How is the glittery one?

10:10 am

She's fine. Resting peacefully after a blustery walk this morning. Those injury free/non-lampshade affected ears got a good shaking about in the wind.

10:10 am

Alas, I actually have to take care of my children, and I'll miss all the news and there will be no fun and games for me. Back later, but by then you will all have gone off...

10:10 am

<-- Not wagging tail.

10:10 am

Oh Vicuna. What a shame! This is the nicest time to babble and everything.....

10:10 am

Oh Bye Vicuna, mabe see you later.

10:12 am

byeeee vi

10:12 am

... and my tea is finished so technically so is my teabreak :(

10:12 am

So, pour another cup.

10:13 am

Ummmmm OK I guess I could work a bit late as not going out tonight.

10:13 am

See, how easy was that?

10:14 am

A few hundred of me in the workplace and productivity would grind to a halt.

10:14 am

I blame you, Im so weak willed at leaving once here!

10:14 am

Ah well, you might as well enjoy some happy times.

10:14 am

yay fm, its so cold, tea is essential

10:14 am

*le sigh* i think my mom is upset that im not coming to thanksgiving this year... i have to work in the office the next day + the BFs family is just *MUCH* more convenient! my parents are 2 hours away, and i have to be in early the next day...

10:14 am

Did you do the puzzle today?

10:15 am

but first I think I will get another cup of tea BRB and no not doing the grid.

10:15 am

Has she said she's upset, or are you reading between the lines? Frosty silences, sobs over the phone, that kind of thing.

10:16 am

heh, she hasnt said it outright, but she was definitely unthrilled over the phone...

10:16 am

my parents kinda forget that not everyone is retired like they are. ;)

10:16 am

You'll just have to make an extra big effort at Christmas time.

10:17 am

It's because they love you and want you to be around at a traditional family time.

10:17 am

Hi all.

10:17 am

she even asked about christmas...i was like "well, yeah, im definitely PLANNING on coming down at christmas." i cant fathom not spending christmas with my family...but at this point, thanksgiving just doesnt mean that much to me...

10:17 am

Hello liz - nice to see you.

10:17 am

Apparently you are not married Eva or your family would have learned to share you on the holidays

10:17 am

Hi Liz

10:18 am

well, its recent that ive been in a relationship on the holidays...my brother is married, so you think theyd get used to it, but im the youngest + the girl, so its different. ;)

10:18 am

why is it we parents can't seem to share our married children with their inlays

10:18 am

inlaws sorry

10:19 am

Hi everyone

10:19 am

I'm definitely fed up. I'm working Christmas Eve & Christmas Day 8pm to 8am both, AGAIN...not fair !!

10:19 am

Hello Becca.

10:19 am

that does suck liz

10:19 am

oh liz, that's horrible

10:20 am

my son always gets stuck working the holidays as well

10:20 am

Is that because you're covering for younger people with families?

10:20 am

Morning, all. Yeah, Liz... but just think of the holiday pay!

10:20 am

Yeah Liz that's terrible

10:21 am

my mom pulls out the "but dont you want to see your nephews?" card...

10:21 am

I remarried 4 years ago and have yet to spend a Christmas with him, AND son & girlfriend coming on Christmas Day.

10:21 am

Back with mroe tea. That is rough Liz!

10:21 am

as if i dont ALREADY feel bad about missing a holiday...

10:22 am

Four Christmases in a row? Always with same job?

10:22 am

hi all - back with 65 words left - Christmas day Liz ?? that is rough...

10:22 am

EvaN, sympathies. my Mum has been doing the 'well it might be my last one' but has now dropped that as after 6 years its lost the impact.

10:22 am

You'll just have to stick to your guns, Eva, but it's not nice coping with parental guilt.

10:22 am

Holiday pay ? I'm a nurse for goodness sake!

10:22 am

wb montreal

10:22 am

What are holidays without the GUILT??? My hubby's family is famous for that. Can't understand why we don't want to drive 5 1/2 hours to get to mom's house, pay $3.00 per gallon of gas and $100 per night hotel. What's wrong with US???

10:23 am

hi mont

10:23 am

Have them do the reverse journey, Judi and see how they like it.

10:23 am

Eva if it helps, they DO get over it if you stick to your guns!

10:24 am

Back in a minute, laundry to bring in.

10:24 am

yeah. christmas actually works out pretty well because my brother likes to do christmas morning with his wife + kids at home, then head down to my parents house for dinner. that frees me up to do christmas morning with the BF and his family...but his family is much larger than mine, so last year, we were running very late getting to my parents house...so i think i need to be a little more adamant about what time we leave his familys place...heh

10:24 am

Anyway, I'm in negotiations with a colleague (trying to send her on a guilt trip as she's off)

10:24 am

Trust me HAZ, that would NEVER happen. MIL is 84 years old and the rest of the family just doesn't like to travel. Go figure.

10:25 am

I'm still very young, but I have to fit in my mom, brothers and stepdad, my dad and brothers (three hours from mum) and my boyfriend of three years' family...the guilt is enormous and has resulted in my loathing of Christmas. What I want is irrelevant to certain family members.

10:25 am

At least you stay in a hotel Judi

10:25 am

seems only fair liz that holiday shifts should be rotated amongst workers

10:25 am

youd think my parents would understand, since they left the whole COUNTRY... but i guess that makes them want family holidays even more now, since they missed so many back then...

10:25 am

when is christmas this year?

10:25 am

Yes, well - his family is huge, so all the bedrooms and bathrooms are taken well before we get on the scene. Actually it's worth it to me to stay in a hotel. Don't like sharing my bathroom!

10:25 am

Its been cancelled

10:26 am

thankfully, chris + i have already started the christmas shopping. i got smart there!

10:26 am

My husband and I were very firm when we moved in together (before we were married) - we would spend Christmas at home alone then visit family before or after

10:26 am

hehehe..FMitch

10:26 am

hi everyone!

10:26 am

was under the (false ?) impression that Thanksgiving in the US was more important, familywise, then Christmas...

10:26 am

Hi Wyrd

10:26 am

Hi Wyrd

10:27 am

depends on the family, i think, mont.

10:27 am

Hi monty, that was my understanding too.

10:27 am

hi there Wyrd !

10:27 am

oh i think Christmas is more important montreal

10:27 am

We've been getting the "I won't be around much longer" speach lately too. Although, her mother lived to be 100, and MIL is healthy as a horse (aside from her hypochondria).

10:27 am

From all I've heard of American Thanksgiving, it seems to be about sales more than anything

10:27 am

hi Wyrd

10:27 am

They just introduced a rota proper this year, I drew the short straw, I keep getting New Year off which I couldn't give a toss about LOL. Moan over!!

10:27 am

Clues for the 9 and the 10 plz

10:28 am

Sales arent really the big thing for Thanksgiving, all we buy really is food

10:28 am

my parents (who are from london) have their favorite joke: We also have Thanksgiving in England, but in America, you call it Independence Day.

10:28 am

We have a large family Thanksgiving and have had for years. Christmas is usually spent with small family.

10:28 am

thanksgiving is a lot less commercial than christmas

10:28 am

lol

10:28 am

hi FM - same "sales" thing as our Chrstmases then Uni ?

10:28 am

unfortunately uni its Christmas that has become all about sales..... it is so commercialized now

10:29 am

lol Eva - good one

10:29 am

Christmas displays were out in the stores way before Halloween even

10:29 am

I loathe Christmas...i went to the mall a week ago and decided it would be my last trip ubtil January because I was smashed by way too many rude shoppers!

10:29 am

LOL, Eva. Yes, Thanksgiving here is getting more and more commercialized. Black Friday trumps the holiday by a longshot. Every year I despise the holiday season more for it.

10:29 am

Clues for the 9 and the 10 plz

10:29 am

I noticed that this year christmas advertising didn't really start until the end of October as opposed to beg. of Sept. in previous years.

10:29 am

I enjoy the family, but the pressure, guilt, etc has become greater than the fun...

10:30 am

Build from the sp7 MM

10:30 am

sp9/66 - build on the sp7, kitchen utensil, to make it descriptive.

10:30 am

if no one reminded me, both would pass in simplicity

10:30 am

chris + i have been painting pottery pieces as gifts for family...is unique + personalized, fairly inexpensive, plus it gives us something to do with out time when we cant think of anything else to do... the majority of whats left will be done online... maybe ONE trip to the mall otherwise.

10:30 am

Who is in charge for your thinking Judi? Don't let outside events influence your happiness

10:30 am

When I went on Nov. 1 to buy cheap Halloween candy, candy canes and X-Mas candy were already in full display.

10:30 am

mu7 please (first one)

10:30 am

here, Christmas displays start nov 1st, IMMEDIATELY after halloween

10:31 am

mur interracial child, black and white

10:31 am

10:31 am

sorry i mean second one

10:31 am

Hello Becca, did I spy you on line earlier today imparting some exciting news ... ?

10:31 am

Yes, I saw that news as well..

10:32 am

10:32 am

10:32 am

Yes FMitch - I couldn't keep it quiet! I'm going to have a baby!

Yay!!! Congratulations Becca

10:33 am

10:33 am

10:33 am

Congratulations Becca!

10:33 am

Congrats Becca!

10:33 am

good wishes to you Becca!

10:33 am

There, There, Becca. I'm sure it's only twins.

10:33 am

Thank you everyone- it's really early days yet but I trust my Babble community to keep the secret!

10:33 am

congrats Becca... of course, your mate did all the hard work...so far !

10:34 am

10:34 am

10:34 am

Yeah right Mont! I'm already feeling sick, have backache and have to lie down in the afternoon - I feel like a fraud because it's all so soon in the pregnancy

10:34 am

And the BBC said they would send a unit as soon as they were sure that they couldn't get to Imran in solitary.

10:35 am

only kidding becca - hope all goes well for you !

10:35 am

clue for the second al 5,10 please

10:35 am

LOL Haz!

10:35 am

al5/10 doubles the consonant on the second al4/4

10:35 am

are they going to smuggle him some food?

10:36 am

ty Haz

10:36 am

They said they would try, but if he's on hunger strike would he eat it?

10:36 am

You're welcome, Merk.

10:36 am

I smell curry, better be off and make my ritual offer of help, back in a sec.

10:37 am

he might if they took him some M&S Melting Moment Chocoalte Puddings

10:37 am

cya liz

10:37 am

Ohhh the ones they are advertising on TV Ata?

10:37 am

yup!

10:37 am

M&S and so cruel, I hate them.

10:37 am

That might be construed as torture, though, Atalante. Waving that in front of a hunger striker would be cruel and unusual punishment.

10:38 am

hi all

10:38 am

dont think anyone could resist those

10:38 am

Hi joso

10:38 am

Hello joso.

10:39 am

hi fm

10:40 am

10:40 am

Haz I don't get that clue

10:40 am

10:40 am

For which one, Becca?

10:40 am

the no5/12

10:41 am

tnx haz

10:41 am

no5/12 - no, a consonant, Mr Gore's name.

10:41 am

LOL, Haz. Easier to get the clue if you have the word.

10:41 am

you can't reach me! I'm too far away!

10:41 am

I think that's the 5/10 - I have that already

10:41 am

It's a roundabout way of doing things, you're right, Liz.

10:41 am

I've got long legs

10:41 am

It is

10:41 am

Hows the grid today?

10:41 am

*sits here quietly watching chat go by and grinning*

10:41 am

In which case no5/12 - Billy no mates.

10:42 am

hi feather !

10:42 am

Hi Feather

10:42 am

hi Feather

10:42 am

Or, no5/12 - Like the Everest country save for a vowel.

10:42 am

Another good one, Haz

10:42 am

grid is "medium" i believe Flask

10:42 am

Hello feather

10:42 am

LOL Haz! Thanks

10:42 am

no 5/10, 2 words, no* + mr ** Gore

10:48 am

10:48 am

sp9 - inserts a consonant after the sp4/5 then carries on to the same tune as sp9.

10:48 am

hi all. was wondering why i wasn't even 1/2 way yet and then realized i know about becca's triplets, liz working Christmas, etc . . . chat more interesting than grid today! ;-)

10:48 am

Fireworks!!

10:49 am

hi frui!

10:49 am

BECCA IS NOT HAVING TRIPLETS! (It was Babble's little joke)

10:49 am

wtg liz!!

10:49 am

I'm not having triplets!!!

10:49 am

At least I hope not!

10:49 am

10:49 am

10:49 am

i know, haz! ;-)

10:49 am

Haz!! Calm down!

10:49 am

Well, you don't think so, Becca.

10:49 am

Won't know for sure until Christmas when I have a scan

10:49 am

Silly Babblers. Becca's really having kittens.

10:50 am

I was just thinking of how these rumours start and spread!

10:50 am

It's quads actually

10:50 am

I am now Judi!

10:50 am

exactly.

10:50 am

Argh! Stop, stop, STOP!

10:50 am

ok flask.you can always email me at sweepyginger@yahoo.co.uk

10:50 am

Some people will get hold of wrong ends of sticks.

10:50 am

triplets ? that ain't easy - the delivery... and then u have to come up with 3 names and it goes on and on...

10:51 am

i didn't know you were pregnant becca.congrats....when is it/they due?

10:51 am

I AM NOT HAVING TRIPLETS!!!!

10:51 am

OK so now we are not talking about food or babies or kittens then.

10:51 am

And then there are all the permutations. 3 boys, 3 girls, 2 boys, 1 girl, and so on.

10:51 am

Not to mention... the baby is Elvis's love child.]

10:51 am

or Christmas

10:51 am

ethelfreda, gertrude and ermintrude

10:51 am

lolol becca

10:51 am

Not until July lilli - only just found out but decided to share with the babble bunch - although I'm beginning to regret it! lol

10:51 am

Lovely names, Atalante.

10:52 am

congrats becca

10:52 am

Those are Ata's middle names.

10:52 am

Yeah, I like Ermintrude

10:52 am

and what would be your suggestions Ata for boys' names ???

10:52 am

Becca - wait until you have a full bladder for the ulltrasound. Jakes-mum made the mistake of telling us. Waterfalls were much discussed.

10:52 am

Thanks joso

10:52 am

I dont have any middle names :(

10:52 am

i hope everything goes well for you becca!

10:52 am

seriously, becca, congrats! i have four girls and vaguely remember the excitement of the first! ;-)

10:53 am

well, the names that run through my family for boys are Lancelot and Haddock

10:53 am

How can you be smug with no middle names?

10:53 am

Ermintrude was in The Magic Roundabout.

10:53 am

Me neither, Ata!

10:53 am

LOL Haz! Now I have something else not to look forward to!

10:53 am

haddock!!!!!

10:53 am

well, better go and eat aforementioned dish that it is forbidden to mention. Tomorrow folks.

10:53 am

pottsie is a noble choice

10:53 am

Haddock!!!!!!!!

10:53 am

Lancelot !!!!!

10:53 am

If the triplets were going to be born in August you could have Augusta, Augustin, Augustus.

10:53 am

great, aren't they!

10:53 am

Oh dear. Haddock is unfortunate.

10:53 am

Bye Liz

10:54 am

bye liz

10:54 am

Haddock???!!!

10:54 am

How about Jonquil then?

10:54 am

Bye liz!

10:54 am

I think I'll pass on Haddock. And Lancelot

10:54 am

And Jonquil

10:54 am

atleast you can shorten lancelot but haddock!!...poor boys!

10:54 am

Better a flower than a fish, I always say.

10:54 am

Or, if it was going to be three girls you could have Milly, Molly and Mandy.

10:55 am

now see what happens when I have to chase the toddler about? I miss all the good chat

10:55 am

LOL

10:55 am

Actually, my husband likes Milly

10:56 am

Hi everyone -Becca watch it fits with the surname - I met a River Banks a while baack!

10:56 am

pa6/21 - the receiver of loving hugs?

10:56 am

Hi JFB

10:57 am

10:57 am

10:57 am

thanks again haz

10:57 am

Hi JFB

10:57 am

Hello JFB.

10:57 am

my sister had to grow up being Candy Cherry, until she married

10:57 am

You're welcome Becca.

10:57 am

Go on Haz - what was the golfing Irishman's name?

10:58 am

pa6/21 - the golfing Irishman's nickname was another clue for it.

10:58 am

thats a sweet name shawnee!!!!

10:58 am

It could have been Cherry Candy, which might have been worse.

10:58 am

oh I see - thought we were still on baby names!

10:59 am

She didn't care for it, in the 60's and 70's, said she felt like a druggie.

10:59 am

I think we should still keep our thinking caps on for good triplet names. You never know when they might come in handy.

10:59 am

or Cherry Herring if I remember correctly?

11:00 am

Becca, all my babes begin with A's - Alysha, Austin, AnnaMae and next is Amelia.

11:00 am

11:00 am

Movieman, double the consonant on the second al4/4

11:00 am

11:03 am

11:04 am

Here we are, brainstorming like mad and we get called 'this lot.'

11:04 am

And yes, we've been called worse!

11:04 am

Sorry! Didn't mean to offend!!

interesting names all

11:04 am

the way wwe chose our daughters name was that i looked in a name book and chose all the names i liked for girls and boys and then my hubby chose the one he liked best....that way we had a name we both liked, and her middle name is made up of both the nanas names.

11:30 am

Not MY fault mont!

11:30 am

i know becca, PURE coincidence is all...

11:31 am

Spaniels aren't very intimidating, full stop. They work by pester power and the influence of the eyes.

11:31 am

putting baby down for nap bbl

11:31 am

My children were asking me about being "dignified" this morning, and it occurred to me that I might not be the best model of that quality...

11:31 am

later shawnee

11:31 am

oh my freaking goodness my head hurts!!!!

11:31 am

LOL Vic!

11:31 am

Do you point to the chat log as an example of dignified discourse?

11:31 am

red go and have a lay down

11:31 am

Oh heck, I had forgotten the eyes ... so hypnotic

11:31 am

have you tried lying on a table or bed with head habging off the end red?

11:32 am

can help sinus trouble

11:32 am

*hanging

11:32 am

really? hanging upside down? well, I'll try anything right now.

11:32 am

If your sinuses are bunged up you may need antibiotics.

11:33 am

I can just see Becca sniggering wickedly as poor redshoes hangs upside-down.

11:33 am

No I'm not Vic - it's true that it can help!

11:33 am

redshoes, drink something hot and/or spicy - it will help. also, put some heat on your forehead and neck

11:33 am

and then hang upside down!

11:33 am

I managed to have sinusitus at Christmas time a few years ago. Spent Christmas Day dosed to the eyeballs, not smelling a thing. Go to the doctor if it hasn't subsided after a day or two.

11:34 am

seriously... guess I should call the doc. booooo. ooooooh, I can do heat

11:34 am

put a hot compress on my eyes earlier

11:34 am

that was nice

11:34 am

I believe you Becca... But that doesn't mean she won't look silly!

11:34 am

seriously... guess I should call the doc. booooo. ooooooh, I can do heat

11:34 am

LOL

11:34 am

True Vic, very true!

11:34 am

started hurting today, but I'm heading out of town tomorrow for a week

11:35 am

one of my mother<s trick: put rice or barley in an old cotton sock. tie a knot. put sock in microwave for 3 minutes. put over eyes...

11:35 am

Oh, you'd better deal with it now, then.

11:35 am

Then go to the doctor today.

11:35 am

Yeah red, you need to get sorted fast if you're going away

11:35 am

I actually have a rice thingy to heat.

11:36 am

ok, you've convinced me. I'll call the doc.

11:36 am

that's even better redshoes

11:36 am

Now if only Becca would accept so readily that she's having triplets.

11:37 am

LOL Haz!!

11:37 am

Time for me to go, may bbl to finish last 8!

11:37 am

if only... lol

11:37 am

11:39 am

triplets... hmmm the family is raised and done with after 5 years of hell - could be interesting!

11:39 am

help with the et4,4, please

11:39 am

Quads could be better

11:39 am

et4/4 - an anagram of a word meaning 'to satisfy'

11:39 am

then we find they are really quadruplets

11:40 am

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

11:40 am

Or, an angram of a plural beverage.

11:40 am

(sorry. just a natural reaction to the word "quadruplets")

11:40 am

there's a show on tv with a family of sextuplets AND twins!!!

11:40 am

Any advance on sextuplets?

11:41 am

I bet there is never a dull moment there then

11:41 am

Right I'm off too, going to get an early supper and then catch up on the work Haz sidetracked me from! Happy Babbling TTFN.

11:41 am

So I hear. But anyone who has a set of multiples, and then goes on to have more children of any sort has only themselves to blame.

11:41 am

ty for the et

11:41 am

i'm new to this discussion so I will abstain...

11:41 am

Bye FMitch

11:41 am

Goodbye, FM!

11:41 am

hello!!!!!

11:41 am

Have a good evening FMitch - like you were hard to sidetrack!

11:41 am

Hi angel

11:42 am

lol *poof*

11:42 am

Later FM

11:42 am

Husband has clients who had two sets of twins about a year apart.

11:42 am

Don't underestimate your sidetracking skill, Haz.

11:42 am

Oh, could that be on my Babble job description - Sidetracker?

11:42 am

ok, dr. appt made.

11:43 am

going to rest for a bit. later kids.

11:43 am

I have a great friend who had 6 children, of whom 4 are twins. (They're all grown now.)

11:43 am

take care red

11:43 am

Bye red

11:43 am

Well done red. Tell him what we think is wrong, in case he can't figure it out for himself.

11:43 am

Goodbye, redshoes. I hope you get fixed up in short order.

11:43 am

bye red

11:44 am

It must be exhausting (multiple births) and I reckon you would only get through it by either being wildly in control or accepting of chaos.

11:45 am

I don't think more than 2 can be done without major help in the form of relatives and/or nannies.

11:46 am

I think you're right.

11:46 am

The walton sextuplets have grown into a lovely family i think they are very organised

11:46 am

caitlyn - I was always very impressed with the Waltons any time I saw them on. They seemed to be organised but so loving of their girls as individuals.

11:47 am

And the parents were always so calm

11:47 am

gotta go with 24 left - the chat room has been more interesting then the grid itself !- thank you all for a great time, as always - happy babbling all !

11:47 am

Yes, it struck me that if you could choose parents to have sextuplets, it would be them.

11:48 am

Goodbye, montreal!

11:48 am

Bye montreal see you soon

11:48 am

Bye montreal - thanks for the company.

11:48 am

the chat is ALWAYS more interesting than the grid

11:48 am

LOL Wyrd

11:48 am

bye to (the lot) ------ "POOF"

11:49 am

This grid is seeming particularly unflowing.

11:49 am

Well now, hold on Wyrd. There are times....

11:49 am

Bye from the lot of us.

11:49 am

help with the wa5,20, please

11:49 am

yes I can think of a few of those too Haz

11:49 am

I've witnesses some darn boring chat periods! lol

11:49 am

11:49 am

11:49 am

11:50 am

Bye Enonomis

11:50 am

ty Haz

11:51 am

You're welcome.

11:51 am

Sheesh, did you look up the definition of that one? No wonder I never heard of it!

11:51 am

I didn't but I will now. Should I cover my eyes?

11:51 am

No, no, just obscure.

bye all - be back tonight to finish

11:52 am

It's really obscure, you're right.

11:52 am

Goodbye, Temple Owl!

11:52 am

Bye TO - have a good afternoon.

11:52 am

Bye TO I didnt know you were here

11:53 am

caitlyn, as a matter of interest, did you watch 'Cranford' last night?

just working...feeling poorly, not chatting

11:53 am

No Haz I forgot it was on was it good?

11:54 am

OH, that's a shame, TO - hope you feel better.

will go to dr. tonight - i hope so, too!

11:54 am

It was excellent, caitlyn. It was really very funny. I ended up with tears streaming down my face.

11:54 am

((((((TO)))))))))) as I said there are a lot of poorly people here toda

11:55 am

I hope they repeat it then Haz

11:55 am

any hints on the aw4,8

11:55 am

when you write wa5/2o what do you mean?

11:55 am

It's a 5 part series, caitlyn, and I'm sure they will repeat it.

11:55 am

or qw4,8

11:56 am

Good morning everyone. wonder if anyone has the following ? al5/10 - second one. po6/21 , to5/12, to4/4 and to5/18. I get close to the end and just can't think anymore. Ty for any help.

11:56 am

aw4,8 i meant

11:56 am

that's a 5 letter word worth 20 pts starting with wa, dusky

11:56 am

wa5/20 - a word of five letters that begins with wa and which yields 20 points (4 letter words are the value of the tiles, 5 letters are doubled, 6 letters are tripled)

11:56 am

al5/10 - double the consonant of the second al4/4

11:56 am

thx haz

11:56 am

po6/21 - the same structure as a glass container for wine.

11:56 am

for all you sickly people out there, remember, cracker jacks ARE vitamins

11:57 am

Hi nurse

11:57 am

to5/12 - a heavy weight, followed by the wedding word of promise.

11:57 am

hi all - can anyone clue me the sp 10 - got all the ones around it but just can't monkey this one.

11:58 am

to5/18 - used to dry oneself after a bath

11:58 am

Sandie - sp10 - put a consonant after the sp4/5, then continue as with sp9

11:58 am

to4/4 - plural of a heavy weight

11:59 am

Hi Caitlyn,

11:59 am

ty so much for that one Haz.

11:59 am

Haz - Wow, are you good today.

11:59 am

You're welcome!

11:59 am

not understanding that po6 clue :-(

12:00 pm

Esprit - if it began with a b, it would hold wine or spirits. It's the same structure.

12:00 pm

Now for the chat - - love to read interesting things others say. Best part of the grid for me some days.

12:00 pm

ah got it now

12:00 pm

ty haz

12:01 pm

Glad you got it, Esprit.

12:01 pm

So you've finished, nurse? Congratulations!

12:01 pm

Congrats nurse!!

12:02 pm

I'm finished, but would not have made it without you guys!! TY. funny how things just go blank after awhile. Eas "to "and just couldn't see it.

12:03 pm

there's a grid? where? *looks*

12:03 pm

LOL Ata

12:03 pm

I know the feeling. I had a hard time convincing myself that so4/5 and so4/6 were words.

12:03 pm

Over there (eyes left)

12:04 pm

Has Hobbit forgotten herself yet and wagged her tail?

12:04 pm

oh yes! so there is!

12:04 pm

That's so funny you said that, Haz, because the minute you did, I knew which words you were talking about... and I didn't have them yet.

12:04 pm

Haz, love your dog!

12:04 pm

can anyone clue me the sp5/12 - last one plz?

12:04 pm

They look so unlikely, don't they, VIcuna?

12:04 pm

She's very pretty, isn't she, nurse?

12:05 pm

sp5/12 - the noise when liquid hits the floor. Beloved of comic book writers.

12:05 pm

Yes, and I pronounce them in my head all strangely.

12:05 pm

I'm a big dog lover. Had several labs who lived until 15+. Now without animals and it's just not the same.

12:05 pm

Ty Haz!

12:06 pm

*refresh for my non-wiggly dog*

12:06 pm

You're welcome Sandie.

12:06 pm

nurse adopt a stray ..we have just done that from a rescue centre and it the best thing we could have done..she has bought life back into the home

12:06 pm

Oh poor Hobbit. I'm laughing but sympathetically.

12:06 pm

Talk about a reproachful gaze....

12:07 pm

How's the puppy coming along caitlyn?

12:08 pm

when do we get photos?

12:08 pm

When we have dogs, they actually own the house and we just live there. What kind of stray, Caitlyn? Actually, the labs were all mixtures but all had wonderful dispositions. How can people abuse an animal is something I'll never understand.

12:09 pm

clue for po6/21 please?

12:09 pm

She is brilliant Haz..very good..no puddles or chewing with her only problem is pulling on the lead..soon sort that out i hope My camera is playing up at the moment i am working on it though

12:09 pm

Hello Flask - po6/21 - if it began with a b, it would be a glass container for wine, spirits or even milk.

12:09 pm

nurse she is a lab x staff

12:10 pm

brain dead today...cant find the al5/10...not the one that means away from the wind...help?

12:10 pm

That's great, caitlyn. I'm glad she settled in so quickly and the pulling on the lead can be sorted out, you're right.

12:10 pm

I don't get that one , Caitlyn. lab x staff?

12:11 pm

nurse she is a cross labrador with a staffordshire

12:11 pm

thanx Haz!.....what a strange word!!

12:11 pm

al5/10 - can be either a plus not early or Everyone, plus two vowels (being a doubling of the consonants of second al4/4)

12:11 pm

I know, Flask. But then, this IS babble.

12:11 pm

thanks haz...got it

12:11 pm

True!!...;-)

12:11 pm

True!!...;-)

12:12 pm

Sounds beautiful. And was a stray? Did you get her at the "pound"? SPCA is what we call that in the US

12:12 pm

Great, Ouwachita.

12:12 pm

Yes nurse

12:12 pm

And now I really should do something about food for the evening meal. It's been fun in the log this afternoon. See you again!

12:12 pm

Good luck with her, but you sound as if you will be a good "mommy" to her.

12:13 pm

Bye Haz

12:13 pm

Goodbye, Haz. Enjoy your meal.

12:13 pm

3:14 pm

i have menieres disease, which is fluid build up in inner ear, which makes you dizzy.i had treatment to help it and i lost my balance completely on one side and it is deteriorating naturally on the otherside,so i can't walk without falling and banging into things alot,plus pressure in head and deafness....but eh,...i'm healthy and that's life..you deal with it and get on...plus i have a great supportive hubby and daughter.

my dad had menieres lili. he has a surgery that wnt into his skull and severed the nerve in his ear, so he is stone deaf in the one side but no more vertigo. it was so bad when he was driving ( a great bbig truck) that suddenly the world would seem upside down & he would have to pull off the highway. without the surgery he would have lost license

3:17 pm

and much quality of life , it happened when walking standing and sitting too

3:17 pm

((((lili)))) I know that's rough, my father-in-law suffering last 7 years with something very similar, docs not sure what, been throwing around many diagnoses

3:17 pm

it can be tough angel, but i'm too bloodyminded and independent to let it get to me, plus i use to work with people with special needs and they had alot tougher times than me.

3:17 pm

3:44 pm

...darth please not dart...not to be rude or out of line

3:44 pm

mom5, add consumed to the flapjack flipper

3:45 pm

that's true darth, I got you confused with another babbler called dart

3:45 pm

Thanks muse

3:45 pm

Well...that is sad...seeing as I am super mega awsome.....

3:46 pm

for the sp10, insert a chair after the sputum

3:46 pm

I am out of my babble gear....it has become difficult again...:(

3:48 pm

working on the 'chair'

3:48 pm

gee, darth, you must be cut from the same cloth as my son, who describes himself pretty much the same way lol

3:48 pm

lol mom right before the air

3:50 pm

..NO I am just very narsasistic[spelled wrong I think] it is becuase of my age...well....that is okay i guess....(sometimes I forget that most other people here arn't my age....) *feels silly*

3:50 pm

well the dart I'm thinking of is awesome in the sense that he and doc are usually one of the frontrunners in finishing a grid after the flip

3:50 pm

I'm at the end of my teens...no-one ever expects it of me.

3:51 pm

darth, did you know I am sis of big angel13136?

3:52 pm

....I am a...."diffrent" child....I kinda act out sometimes hense my narsasism[spelled wrong again I think] [[ I should get these right, they were spelling words]]

3:52 pm

Yes, I did you are her sister...hello

3:52 pm

I think it's fabulous that babble attracts people of all ages, and we all chat

3:53 pm

Hi!

3:53 pm

When I'm in babble, I lose all concept of the ages of those I speak with...I read profiles of some pros and am shocked by the ages occasionally.

3:53 pm

lol, I'll make it easy for you "narcissism", narcissist

3:54 pm

muse, do you have a different clue for the SP10. I'm just not getting it.

3:54 pm

hi there age-diverse babblers!

3:54 pm

..Yeah, the ages attracted by this site is amazing....people in the late 50's to people in their early teens it is amazing

3:54 pm

hey fiz

3:55 pm

My ten yr old brother babbles occasionally.

3:57 pm

thanks Uniquity -- I miss seeing her, too. This schedule of mine has me on so infrequently!

3:57 pm

geez, didn't quite get the 'chair' clue. I was looking for a type of chair, not a letter that makes a chair shape. New to all the lingo, i guess.

3:57 pm

well, I've gotten down to 16 with no list, so not too bad

3:57 pm

I hope I will be on when she comes back, then!

3:57 pm

just got started stid. can't say yet....

3:57 pm

I find this a quite difficult grid...tea might be necessary

3:58 pm

but then again I also scooped up a few clues here and there

3:58 pm

....I feel a brain food urge coming...

3:58 pm

fireworks for me... and kids will be home any minute. got to go greet the crowd... thanks for the clues............... POOF

4:32 pm

thanks, Stid. mo, I live in the Twin Cities (where the 35W bridge fell down) and have to drive across the Cities each day since we don't have decent mass transit here. It WAS here 50 years ago; it WILL be here in 10-15; but for right now it's terrible

4:32 pm

thanks mo and inge!

4:32 pm

4:44 pm

{{{{rumple}}}} HI! was just passing through and saw you here! how are you?

4:44 pm

what does the 10 letter word start with please?

4:45 pm

LOL I can see folks are really into the grid at the moment... back again later.

4:45 pm

well I took a stroll through the store. When did all this happen?

sp 10

4:45 pm

Nef ... sp10/91

4:46 pm

thanks, angel and mo

4:46 pm

yw.

4:46 pm

the 10 letter word is an sp, think of that kitchen gadget you use to pick up things from the frying pan

4:46 pm

last night ingy

4:47 pm

but you took over anothre online store? What happened?

4:47 pm

sate

4:47 pm

whatchoo mean ingy?

4:47 pm

Oops! Sorry again!

4:48 pm

well, I read up in the history of the CAFE. It started in 1999, way before our time

4:50 pm

Nef ... do you want a clue for the sp10?

4:53 pm

mo, I figure the way I'm going, it will take a while. Someone did mention the kitchen flipper; I'm still playing with that! (I do have the sp 7/36, BTW)

hey, peeps

nef, there's a consonant inserted in the middle (so to speak) :)

hi tyger

hey, ange

4:54 pm

can I have a clue i only have 2 words

4:54 pm

hi tyger .... keep going Nef, you can do it!

what do you need a clue for, cupcake?

howarya, mo?

4:55 pm

a word tyger

4:55 pm

got the 9/66! :D

4:55 pm

ok tyger thank you ... and you?

yay, nef :)

so-so, thx. what kind of dog is that in your icon? at first glance, I thought springer, but on second, I don't think so :)

4:56 pm

Nef ... add a letter into the middle of the 9

4:57 pm

tyger .. dont really know what it is ... just a picture I found.

4:58 pm

evening all, have a few minutes before starving hubby arrives

looks like could be some kind of wire-haired terrier, but not really :P Do you have it in a larger size? (used to be a dog breeder) :D

4:58 pm

Got it! Thanks, mo and tyger! (now I need to go check what the heck that means!)

4:58 pm

cute isnt it?

I think it refers to the shape of fingers, nef

kinda :)

4:59 pm

no sorry tyger.

4:59 pm

mo, perhaps a Lhasa or Shitsu? very cute

head is shaped much like a Dandie Dinmont terrier, but it looks a bit too husky

5:00 pm

both the 9 and the 10 mean the same thing: Shaped like sp*****, or like a battledoor, being roundish, with a long, narrow, linear base.

fraid it's not either of those, shawnee

most likely a mixed breed

5:01 pm

oh well, gave it a shot. we have beagles, don't know much about other types

maybe jilli will have an idea, when she comes thru

5:01 pm

I can see you are an expert tyger ... wish I could help.

I was involved with breeding and showing for 20 years, mo :)

5:02 pm

I must admit I thought it was a mongrel.

not a real expert on breeds other than working and gazehounds, though

not a real expert on breeds other than working and gazehounds, though

and you're probably right!

5:02 pm

we enjoy the Thanksgiving dog show every year, such work goes into breeding and showing.

5:02 pm

gazehounds ... thats a new one on me!!

where are you, shawnee?

5:03 pm

can i have some help?????

5:03 pm

no 4.5?

5:03 pm

Indiana and you?

gazehounds are Afghans, Salukis, greyhounds, whippets, wolfhounds, etc.

yes, cupcake, tell us what you need

5:04 pm

oh I see tyger.

5:04 pm

well tyger i only have 3 words

no4/5: no + objective form of we

you have to request by which word you're trying to figure out. Are you brand new at Babble, cupcake?

5:04 pm

what tyger

5:05 pm

yes i am new at babble

5:05 pm

TY Tyger

have you figured out how to read the clues, cupcake?

yw, habes

5:05 pm

no

5:05 pm

cupcake have fun..great people here!!

5:06 pm

tyger how do you read the clues

5:06 pm

tyger are you there

okay. I think the best thing for you to do is to go to Lickety's page. It gives you clues - the first two letters of each word. The first number is how many letters in the word, the second number is how many points it's worth. the link to Lickety's page is at the bottom of this page

5:07 pm

cupcake, when I was first learning, I found the Help section to be invaluable. It is above the chat box. Also as others have said Lickety's page. Takes a bit of reading, but well worth it. Good luck

5:08 pm

cupcake, there is a help thread right above chat here; but then under the grid is a whole bunch of links for more help. My favorite is Likkety's Babble clues.

If you keep this page open, you can talk to us at the same time you're using his page. Shawnee's advice is excellent, too

one other thing you should understand is that many words in the grids are from Scrabble word lists - they're not words you'll hear in ordinary conversation

5:09 pm

yes good luck cupcake ... you will soon get into the swing of things.

5:10 pm

and get totally addicted!!

5:10 pm

addiction here you will not kik

5:10 pm

can yu give me a word please~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one other thing - no proper nouns (names of people, places, etc)

we can't just *tellI* you any of the words. It's against the rules

you have to figure them out. did you see the clue I gave to habes?

5:11 pm

ok but other people were telling other people words

that's the kind of help we CAN give

5:11 pm

we give clues, but won't perposely give a word (I accidently put them in the wrong box often enough, however

not just typing them in!

5:12 pm

when did you give the clue to habs

5:12 pm

(and someday I'll learn to spell!)

this is the clue I gave to habes: no4/5: no + objective form of we

if you have the first two letters and how many letters in the word, we can then give you hints like that

5:13 pm

what was the clue to habs ty

that's why I said to go to Lickety's page

5:14 pm

hey again! Nut if you're there, you can view and grab all the images so far at http://www.stidmama.com/?p=354

hey, stid

5:14 pm

hey tyger! how're you doing? I suppose you have sn4?

I just pasted it back in about 6 down

yup. you want a clue? :)

5:15 pm

it is confusing for me to read the clue chart tyger

oh. no. no sn4/8

I'm in Mississippi

5:15 pm

not at the moment, I have a desperate dog whining at me. back soon, tyger. Then I WILL need clues!

5:15 pm

Guys, I am stuck. I need the second al5,10 and the el5,10 to finish up, please.

I think you need to read the help section, cupcake

5:16 pm

(why did I think you were in Minnesota?)

2nd al5/10: al + 1st name of $6M man

I dunno

I'm a Michigander, stranded for the time being here near the Gulf

Uniq, did that work? Need more?

5:17 pm

tyger you are giving other people clues but not me it makes me feel like im stuped

5:17 pm

el5/10 ... e + behind time.

5:18 pm

I don't know the 6 mil man....trying to google to get it. Working on it!

I can't give you a clue if you don't request it in a form I can tell what you want.

his last name is Majors

5:18 pm

al .. a = BEHIND TIME.

I can't just start at the top and work my way down, cupcake. there are 133 words!

5:19 pm

5:19 pm

10:11 pm

I have been staring at the grid for a while, and only just noticed the D ! far out

Mr Pres how are you

10:11 pm

LOL, harp - a git scattered sounds like a stupid teenaged drunk who falls over outside my house after cheating on his girlfriend and p**ing off most of his friends. (There have been one or two I've had to go and and rescue.)

10:12 pm

that helped me finish the p's and t's... can't believe I haven't seen that D!!

10:12 pm

HI HARP!!

Can anyone clue my other half that I don't care about house repairs needed or foreign holidays? I've told him for past 2 years now that the best present he can give me is him getting his divorce.

Stick to your guns Jac

11:07 pm

It's got to the point now that even my ex is willing to pay for it.

Well she needs to move on too

11:08 pm

He, Herin, not she!

done

11:08 pm

Congrats, Herin.

11:09 pm

Jac, so sorry

11:10 pm

Wyrd - thanks, it happens.

11:12 pm

However, this yuletide I can't really have a go at him. His Mum's in for surgery on 26th Nov for a mastectomy. She's told me to have a go at him! LOL. But I won't for now...

11:12 pm

awww.. and you know, even after divorce some dont let go

11:14 pm

Took me 12 years to let go, so I guess I can't have a go at him. I did tell him at start that letting go was not easy.

11:15 pm

well divorce is never fun, even when you are the one that wants it I found

Jac i meant the other half of his not you all parties concerned need to move on

11:15 pm

Incidentally, I've worked out a while ago that when he gets up early on a Sunday morning he goes through the Babble chat archives. He gets up aout 5.30am and I get up about 10.30am.

sorry i was looking at the pure brilance of the video

11:16 pm

so he's stalking you

11:16 pm

Too right, Wyrd.

Why? doesn't he trust you that is odd. I say anything here that i would say out in public

11:17 pm

No one is stalking me, wyrd.

11:18 pm

Who doesn't trust who, Herin?

Jac why does he look at the archives?

11:20 pm

Herin - his past relatiobship history might make him do that but I thin he just likes to read the chat 'cos it's funny, especially when me, Haz, FM and Fran get together.

Ok man needs gossip ok cool i get it

11:21 pm

Ther you go then! LOL

but its still od

11:22 pm

It's not odd, Herin, His wife cheated on him, as my ex-hubby cheated on me.

11:22 pm

Kinda makes your paranoic for a while, like a decade or so...

i do understand. WOW that is a loong time to put up with that

My ex cheated on my (well both exs did) so i completly understand

Guys i will see you after flip Gym and shops call

11:35 pm

I was married for 28 years and we were together for 4 years before that. I meant ther gettng over took more than a decade, herin.

11:35 pm

18, not 28.

11:36 pm

No matter re errors! No one's here anyway.

11:36 pm

Phew!

11:38 pm

Just got other half off to work now. Should I stay for flip with mad clue flingers or should I go and come back later?

11:41 pm

stay for the flip

11:41 pm

suffer with the rest of us

11:42 pm

Just looked at grid afresh and found a new phanton aside from potato and tampon... laptop/s.
