12:29 am

We still have a house we can't sell in NSW and are having to rent here

hey mlfan, I don't have that n6 but pls also be aware that usually clues aren't given in the first hour - just a custom, not a rule

12:37 am

just reading back in the chat about the low pay in certain areas -- up here it's called the sunshine tax

12:37 am

gosh this puzzle appears to be easier than yesterday

12:38 am

n6: one who catches fish w/out line nor spear, MLF

12:38 am

cyber, does that mean you get paid less because the weather is better?

12:38 am

the sunshine tax?

CYber The essential people like teachers, doctors in clinics, nurses, police, ambos and firefighters get stuff all pay?

12:38 am

got ti ty

12:38 am

that and because this is a resort area and so many wlll take a lower salary to live here.

12:39 am

Victorians are the worst paid in Australia

12:39 am

are the clues up?

12:39 am

Victoria is definately not great weather or big on tourism

12:39 am

huh. I live in one of the more highly-paid, and expensive, parts of the states. Teachers in my region got 50-60K more than ones in the SW part of my state.

12:39 am

then come to western australia - we need teachers

12:39 am

yes, miss babble, they are

12:39 am

12:40 am

hello (waves back)

12:41 am

hi Tanja!

12:41 am

Tanya, I believe they are trying to entice teachers to WA with great pay

I love were i live its great

12:41 am

12:41 am

12:41 am

It's a bit far away from family though!

12:41 am

yes they are - lots of schemes

They are trying to get people to move to WA with big $$$ incentives

Still wouldn't get me to move there though

12:42 am

but were a lovely bunch lol

12:42 am

Now that everyone has had a look out of my window at about 4 pm this afternoon I shall go and get my favourite colour...

12:42 am

my husband likes it here, I'd rather be on the east coast

Jill that is lovely pic

12:42 am

parts of the great plains here in the States are giving away land and offering high pay - for there - to get people to come.

12:42 am

the word is formed using the Greek words for milk and stone = milk stone - that was used in the nineteen twenties and thirties as a jewelry stone . it's a plastic

2:08 am

2:08 am

lol nana

2:09 am

andree's son used to babble from Singapore, but he moved back to Australia

2:09 am

last Thursday we had wind that stripped all but the Oaks of their leaves.

2:09 am

so we went from fall color to bare in a day

2:10 am

wow, that's too bad dc

2:10 am

ah

2:10 am

yeah, thouh Fall is later than it used to be. Growing up, trees were 80% bare at Remembrance Day.

2:10 am

did the cherry trees blossom already? or am i totally off on the timeframe?

2:10 am

poor trees must feel so naked hahaha

Is it really sad that you have to check up on a friend as they are known liars

2:12 am

last year, some did at Xmas, but usually that's between 23 mar and 5 apr, with 1st wk of Apr being avg, though they're earlier than they used to be.

2:12 am

i was awed the 1st time i went to see them; they're really quite lovely.

2:12 am

lol, so i am TOTALLY off!

2:13 am

that is sad infernal

2:13 am

yes, lady, but one learns to adjust by having fun working with others to make them squirrel out of the lie. > :D

She is a known liar and i was checking up via online stuff to see if she didn't lie

any hoot brb dinner

2:14 am

njoy, lady

Wait--why are you friends with people who lie to you? I mean, sheeeeeesh

2:14 am

okay. goodbye ladyyy

2:14 am

in my case, not friends, but she's in my social circle, and married to a friend.

2:14 am

well sometimes you befriend people for their good qualities. I guess the lying just got in the way

She either has more time or more patience than I do--probably both

2:15 am

great icon, samantha!

2:15 am

hahaha very honest of you! (:

Oh, yes, and sometimes people are in social circles that you can't just gracefully leave. And thanks, I love my icon too :))

2:16 am

haha yeah that's a cute icon

2:16 am

hi sam!

it's 2AM here. It's neen nice talking to you all, and I must go to bed

Hi Fran! Sorry to have missed you, but I must get some sleep

2:17 am

alrighty then. goodnight!

Night all

2:17 am

night sam!

2:17 am

at least the words make sense in this grid...lol

2:18 am

i googled that ra8, and i find no definition, though morewords says it's valid.

2:19 am

hm? do tell.

2:19 am

mostly banana, yes

2:20 am

oh, enable has some odd ones. Morewords is a Xword tool, and says the ra8 is valid, but i'm guessing an OED will be needed for a definition

2:20 am

dc, how many ra8s are there? are you talking about the rodent related one?

2:20 am

yes, the rodent one

2:21 am

i just assumed it was one who ra6s. :-)

2:21 am

hold on, I'm busy drawing a blank

2:21 am

lol zombee

2:21 am

that RA6 is a proper noun am Deutsche according to Google

2:22 am

hey dc, you should be pleased there are two words that are similar to your round tuit in today's grid. :-)

2:22 am

but no lert :(

2:22 am

nerts works

2:22 am

not today though..lol

2:23 am

i know! i often lose mine around 1:00 am

2:23 am

You must have a roof in french

2:24 am

hi jilli, did you get a lot of snow?

2:24 am

2:24 am

i don't know roof in French

back again

2:24 am

hello again infernal

2:24 am

banana, click on my icon and look at my flickr pic for today's snow

2:24 am

hullo HIL!

2:25 am

wow, jilli, that's a lot for over there!

2:25 am

jilli, that snow you got is too pretty to be a nuisance. :-)

2:25 am

2:25 am

2:26 am

ah, yes, i have a roof in French. ty, jilli, i learned something :)

2:52 am

Lucy Loosebox is hilarious! :D

2:52 am

Hey Jilli, up here near Qualicum my back fields look just like your pic...14 inches, did you catch the news with the disasterous Malahat?? YUCK!

2:53 am

hi chinger

2:53 am

sgams, my inlaws live in comox

DC she is an absolute crack up.

2:53 am

(:

2:53 am

Nice, Comox apparently got hit bad too.

2:54 am

yes, sgams -- that road is scary! And what about the Sea to Sky and the coming Olympics!

2:54 am

haven't talked to them yet, but my mom was telling me it was bad

2:54 am

I love Courtney /comox nice people up there

2:54 am

i like qualicum...lol

2:54 am

Oh Jilli, I can't even IMAGINE!

2:54 am

love the beachfront

WHy can't people drive carefully i dont get it

2:55 am

My former bridge partner moved from here to Courtney near her daughter -- on the road to Mt Washington where they must have liked the snowfall!

2:55 am

did they close the sea to sky too?

2:55 am

Ya, Qualicum is pretty picturesque, not tooo keen on the amount of complainers there though, sooo many, always something.

2:56 am

I think for a while, nana

2:56 am

i haven't been on the sea to sky since they started the upgrades

2:56 am

well, they say Salt Spring is an argument surrounded by water...

2:56 am

Well, tomorrow will most likely be even worst with flooding and rain rain rain

2:57 am

Salt Spring is beautiful too

2:57 am

I've NEVER been on the sea to sky!

2:57 am

Jilli, speaking of bridge, you may find this of interest: http://tinyurl.com/yu5emd

2:58 am

it wasn't a bad highway before, you just would get stuck behind all the slow people and no where to pass them....hence accidents when people would take risky chances to pass

2:58 am

Really, never heard that about Salt Spring. Jilli, have you been to Tofino?...if so the hwy, between Port Alberni and Tofino, is basically the same, windy, curvy, hilly etc

2:58 am

kind of like how the Vancouver Island highway was before they built the new one

2:59 am

Are you here too Banana?

2:59 am

can't be too careful passing on two-lane roads. :\

2:59 am

moved from North Vancouver to Edmonton 4 yrs ago

3:00 am

Ah, now I have a brother in Edmonton

3:00 am

And we moved over here 10-11 y ago from Richmond

3:02 am

much quieter on the island

3:03 am

And to think with all this damn snow...my 16 yo son thinks his going to drive in MY car in it! mmmmmm not on my watch he ain't!! Yeah, Banana we love it here...will never go back

3:04 am

we're just south of edmonton and we're liking it here so far

SGAM make him walk

3:04 am

You got it Herein!!!

3:04 am

not enough water though...lol....I like living around the water

3:04 am

i had driver's ed at 16, on icy roads after school had reopened from being closed a week for snow.

3:04 am

good time to learn, if nerve-wracking for the instructor.

3:05 am

YIKES dc

3:05 am

just went to that site, dc -- very interesting -- I've bookmarked it. We play friendly duplicate here and KISS!

3:05 am

scruffycritter is my friend Joe - i play with him sometimes, but he posts about his playing often. There's a follow-up on that one dealing with the awarding of the master points.

3:05 am

gtg every1

3:06 am

got the ra8 finally

3:06 am

hav a great time finding words

3:06 am

Banana, my nieces are in Beaumont, thats South of Edmonton right?

3:06 am

yeah, that ra8 is weird

3:06 am

now i really have to get to bed...lol...goodnight again ev1

Bye el

3:06 am

later, rox, you outta here?

3:06 am

yer

3:06 am

bye

See you tomorow el

Bye Elrox

3:07 am

Late hubby and I played a bit more seriously back east. When I got here the local club was ACBL but gavev it up so no more points. It's still fun though.

3:08 am

Yes, I gotta hit the hay as well, no 4am tonight for me...poor Clancy cat has to go get poked and proded again tomorrow at the vets. Lord knows what meds he'll have tomorrow

Night SGams

3:09 am

g'night sgasms

3:09 am

night night all

night night sgams

3:09 am

i play friendly, though i should join ACBL, since that's what he plays. Long as i'm playing w/him may as well earn points.

3:09 am

nana, I think I mentioned that I have a nephew and his super wife who live in Edmonton? They are retired lawyers (and email good lawyer jokes) and I wish they would move here but they seem to like it there in spite of the weather

3:10 am

night sgams

May i ask.....wats the differnce if yur a member or not?

3:11 am

members earn Master Points, non-members do not, miss babble. ACBL is the American Contract Bridge League.

3:11 am

member of babble, miss?

No!

3:14 am

this is my dad's account. :x

What do you mean MS bable?

3:18 am

good morning

Hi Flosey

3:19 am

hi flosey -- couldn't sleep?

3:19 am

flosey -- did your power go out?

3:19 am

did indeed Jilli - with no power, dark here, went to bed at 5:45 pm - got 7 beautiful hours sleep

3:20 am

yes Jilli I think shortly atter lunchtime here

3:20 am

when did it come on?

3:20 am

mine went at about 4:30 -- came back about 8:30. I wrote Xmas cards by candlelight and had a cold supper.

3:21 am

well, I didn't feel like eating, was feeling crummy, so slept like a log

I hate REs

Flosey and Jill what about a generator?

3:22 am

flosey -- I posted a pic I took out of my window in my flickr batch if you want to see

3:22 am

hullo flosey

3:22 am

herin -- this is very unusual. Back east we had a generator.

3:23 am

?? franmag left?

3:23 am

we do have a generator, pretty heavy duty one, because of 3 freezers, and need it for the water pump, etc but we don't put it on until we know it's off for a while

3:23 am

:I

3:24 am

we live in a rural setting, on a farm, with a well, so makes a difference

3:24 am

zombee -- fran's been having connection problems

3:24 am

generators are noisy and I love the eerie peacefulness of absolute silence when the power is off

Frans got her usual stupid hour of conection

Flosey is it all dark and snowy?

3:25 am

yes, back east we were on a well too -- no power, no water and that's really tough. We also sometimes had puppies which have to be kept warm. Hence the generator there.

3:25 am

ohhhh. thanks jilli.

3:25 am

yes, but it may be raining now,

3:26 am

HIL- hahaha

3:26 am

sure is melting fast, last time I measured, midafternoon, we had over 6" of snow

Brrr

3:27 am

hey, that's a good shortcut for herinfernalladyship! HIL!

3:27 am

flosey -- did you look at my picture and the birdbath mound?

IS there a RE 8 please

Jill i much prefer herin

3:28 am

love your icon Jilli - guess I'll just have to use a darker shade

3:28 am

ok herin, herin it is

3:28 am

ok herin -- and no, no re8 but lots of re6es

3:29 am

3:30 am

Good lordee i am bored

3:41 am

:)

3:43 am

dc, do you ever play bridge at Yahoo? or Bridge Base?

3:43 am

i used to at yahoo, but haven't in a while

3:44 am

don't know bridge base.

3:44 am

te 5 -- when it ***ns it pours

3:44 am

it can be quite frustrating with table hoppers, etc but I have a few regulars I play with

3:44 am

I play bridge at tinker toys are us

3:44 am

what name did you use in Yahoo, if I may ask?

3:45 am

dcseain. i'm reasonably consistent online

3:45 am

morning all

3:45 am

ok

3:46 am

hello, sprite

3:46 am

good morrow, sprite!

3:46 am

hello Sprite

3:47 am

this grids 5.39 length per word is one of the highest I recall seeing

HI Sprite. I was trying to get feeling back in my fingers

3:48 am

good point babrab, i only just noitced i'm at 5.35, and hav found most of the 4s and 5s.

3:48 am

BabbleRabble, your profile text is exactly what my physiotherapist told me! Rather recent findings about how trauma affects cortisol levels.

3:49 am

good to know

Hello SPrite

3:49 am

it is. And it is nice to see that my confidence in what she tells me is supported by other researches as well.

3:49 am

hi lady

3:50 am

explains to some extend the chronic fatigue

3:50 am

hello again peeps!

sigh

3:50 am

hi sprite!!

3:51 am

rehi dc, babrab and infernal!

Fran did you lose the net again

3:51 am

aloha, Fran

3:51 am

it does. The study in the Netherlands has shown that cortisol levels are lower than usual in traumatised persons, but if their panic buttons are pressed (which usually happens too easily), the cortisol production goes skyhigh and does not stop for a very long time, then drops back to too low a level.

3:51 am

hey Fran :)

3:51 am

no, i was doing other things on-line infernal

Ok. Ill do scrable when i can think

3:52 am

tsk tsk tsk, Fran. ;)

3:52 am

do you take a look at the coping rules now and then, sprite?

3:53 am

very interesting babrab and sprite, have copied the article in your bio babrab, will read later

3:53 am

hullo fran

3:53 am

hi flosey! hi again zombee!

3:53 am

Hi there Fran

3:54 am

hahahaha btw how many words do you have now dear flosey

3:54 am

quite often, actually, BabbleRabble. They help me to keep perspective. I also notice that understanding the mechanism of those panic attacks and in-between fatigue helps me coping with them. I am one that needs to understand before she can accept.

3:54 am

hi Zombee.

3:54 am

power was off here Fran, so I went to bed at 5:45 pm - wide awake at 1: after good 7 hour sleep

3:54 am

hullo, sprite!

3:54 am

man i love your icon. so cute

3:54 am

woot flosey, that sounds like a good rest! Hope you feel better for it :)

3:54 am

thanks :D

3:55 am

that's true of several people i know sprite, and i think that makes sense. *hug*

SPrite can i as something. Do panic attacks leave you feeling fatigued and odd feeling?

3:55 am

I'll get a good rest when God gives me 6 more hours in a day

3:55 am

I'll get a good rest when God gives me 6 more hours in a day

3:55 am

wow! that's great flosey!

3:55 am

except you

3:55 am

except you'll probably fall asleep at around 11 am again. :-)

3:55 am

good that you got sleep flosey, and you'll find your way back to a regular schedule soon enough.

3:56 am

drained and kind of otherworldly, lady. Like being a stranger on this planet. Feeling passes after a while, fatigue lasts longer.

Ok not cool but that makes sense to me

3:56 am

may do Fran, but yes, may nap today, but man-o-man I feel great

3:56 am

poor Zombee... too many interesting things in life to allow yourself enough sleep?

3:56 am

I seldom get straight 7 hours

3:56 am

the massive adrenalin rush is quite tiring

3:57 am

my major exams just ended recently...sleep can wait

3:57 am

hahaha

3:57 am

yeah, school's like that, zombee.

3:57 am

flosey, i hear you! I haven't slept undisturbed since my first pregnancy

3:57 am

Zombee, hope you did well in exams

3:57 am

well, the results won't be out till early next year... but thanks flo!

3:58 am

man, i remember a week in school when I had a total of 5 hours of sleep over the whole week!

3:58 am

but at least I finally realise that I am not to blame for having panic attacks. I used to think I was soo stooopid for letting little things make me crazy. But now I know I cannot do anything to stop it, except slowly making the panic buttons less sensitive. Once the mechanism starts, no concious action can stop it.

Zombee best wishes

3:58 am

*keeps fingers crossed for Zombee*

3:58 am

thanks herin! oh no fran! how did you survive!

3:59 am

indeed so, Sprite. I wish i could make my mom understand that.

Sprite i had a panic attack today thats why i asked. I still feel really freaked out.

3:59 am

HAHA sprite!

3:59 am

argh, idiot is a phantom. I hate it when that happens :)

3:59 am

sprite, i'm so glad for you, it's good to not feel like you're abnormal (if that makes sense)

3:59 am

sprite, that one has been bothering me all night too!

3:59 am

i must say the variation in mobile rings here in the office is fascinating.

4:00 am

tsk! you're babbling at work! keep it up ("

4:00 am

oops i meant (:

4:00 am

beautiful icon Fran

4:00 am

lol, yes it does, Fran. Being able to stop be4ing myself over the head for it makes it less bad. Lady, sorry to hear that. Best you can do is try and relax, and be gentle with yourself. Panic eats energy like locust eat grainfields... bare to the bone after a visit!

4:01 am

zombee, i don't know how i did it either...my biggest presentation of the week was done in a stupor, but i must have been prepared, i answered every question while my "team" members just stood there!!

4:01 am

thanks flosey! i think everyone here knows i love purple. :-)

Oh yes. I have no idea why but i was at the store and wham i am lucky i remembered the breathing methods from yoga

4:01 am

haha I usually work with people like that too! I end up answering every single question thrown at us!

4:01 am

Morning guys

4:02 am

good for you infernal!

4:02 am

hi fishbulb!

4:02 am

hi Fish

4:02 am

yes zombee, the US Gov't pays me to do it, too. :)

4:02 am

morning, fishbulb!

4:02 am

lovely hat, fishbulb!

4:02 am

dcs-HAHAHA

4:02 am

Hi Fish - another purple lover Fran

4:03 am

lol zombee, i remember looking at them disgustedly through bloodshot eyes.

4:03 am

gday fishbulb!

4:03 am

Oooh Fran, pretty icon :D Sprite, lovely to see you as always dcseain, good morning to you too! :D

4:03 am

to be able to focus emough during an attack to look around and see that you are not in danger is a large step; to let the phisiology run its course without compounding the anxiety by thinking woulda coulda shoulda what if is a real key to shortening the panic

4:03 am

gday Zombee!

4:03 am

great hat fishbulb! and even better color. :-)

HI Fish.

HI Fish.

4:04 am

is there anything that can be done to suppress the feeling during a panic attack? like can you distract yourself?

4:04 am

finally finished the Ts.

4:04 am

go dc go!!!

4:04 am

So very true, BabbleRabble! Recently, I have been able to go through a panic attack, knowing I am having one and realising the chemical reaction will take its course, and afterwards I know I better take it easy for a bit and not blame myself... such a huge difference.

4:05 am

woot dc!

4:05 am

HAHAHAH!!! "Fishbulb is a human from United Kingdom". Yeah I got that much!

Babble yep. Zombee i have a plan. I listen to my ipod when i go out. I also know where the exits are in a place

4:05 am

what works bets for me it simply go with it and realize you are not in danger

4:05 am

no, suppression or distraction does not work for me. Just letting it be what it is and staying as calm as possible while it lasts, works better for me.

4:06 am

zombee, are you going to go pro so that we'll find out if you're at least human? :-)

4:06 am

Thanks Fran, wish it was mine Hi lady. Zombee, I think that's the default on the profile page but it made me chuckle so I kept it! I like clarification of my human status sometimes.

4:06 am

Zombees aren't human anymore... they used to be ;)

4:06 am

a friend with bridge issues and panic disorder was driving us home once. We crossed the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, which other passenger insisted was a drawbridge, which she and i knew it wasn't. She was breathing again after crossing the Key, when a sign said "Drawbridge Ahead"

4:06 am

yo wats up

4:06 am

oops, lights flickering, hope we don't lose power again

4:06 am

oh yeah, thanks for clarifying that sprite. :-)

4:06 am

yo wats up

4:06 am

a panic attack episode sounds a bit like the dizzy rushes I get.

4:07 am

yo chinger

4:07 am

argh, flosey... my hopes go with yours...

4:07 am

"Drawbridge!? Drawbridge Ahead!? What does that mean?" to which i replied "It means there's a drawbridge, honey", which made her laugh, and happily, it was tiny. :)

4:07 am

how r u franmag

4:07 am

anytime, Fran :D

4:07 am

hi chinger

4:07 am

hahaha, no human plays as many internet games as I do (:

4:07 am

don't know how long it was off - at least 5 hours before I went to bed

4:07 am

hi sprite

Zombee its not fun i can tell you. Damn freaking stupid suckwholey Christmas is the trigger'

4:08 am

time elapsed on clocks can help w/that, if they run instead of flashing

4:08 am

LOL dc!

4:08 am

pretty good chinger

4:08 am

lol oh dearie

4:08 am

Hello chinger, you're new to me, welcome to babble

4:09 am

lady, I am right with you on that one. December is a bad month for me, with all the Xmas stress and such. But it will be January soon :)

4:09 am

She's still no fond of big bridges, but is getting better with them. Eventual goal is to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, from which one cannot see land for several minutes in the middle.

4:09 am

flosey, i'm crossing my fingers for you and jilli.

4:09 am

I have never fainted in my life. I've tried, but nope, didn't work

4:09 am

dc, that sounds scary even without bridge issues!

4:09 am

thanks Fran

4:09 am

wow, that is kinda heroic, dc. Your company and some humour might well help her make it :)

No its more like for me the people that aren't here anymore. How utterly alone i am at times.

4:10 am

we're here for you herin (:

DC You can have the bridge on your own thanks

4:10 am

it's a 5-mile suspension bridge connecting Annapolis, MD to Kent Island, MD.

Um no thanks DC

4:11 am

someday, Sprite, that is my hope. I've shared with her the experience of having a tire blowout on that bridge, which doesn't help per se, but shows that it was overcome successfully, including driving off the bridge w/out stopping.

4:11 am

cannot see land? my butt just tingled

4:11 am

being alone or lonely are two different things. Feeling lonely and abandoned can be very tough, especially in times like these.

4:11 am

I would need to know what violation caused the suspension before crossing that bridge

4:12 am

LOL! @ BabbleRabble

My parents are interstate there is no family christmas fo rme

4:12 am

LOL babrab! i love how your brain works. :-)

4:12 am

HAHAHA

4:12 am

good one, dc!

4:13 am

yes it can, sprite

4:13 am

sprite do u know chimber or something like that that is me i just made a new one

4:13 am

LOL babrab

4:14 am

lady, I would give quite a lot to not have to put up a Xmas tree, but my kids would be so sad.

4:14 am

cokeman, do you mean you were chinger just a little while ago?

Sprite we don't have any tree here

4:15 am

lol, my family's xmas tree is about 4 ft high. my mom took the easy way out

4:15 am

http://tinyurl.com/yspr9r is wiki about the bridge - nice panaroma of it from the Annapolis (West) side, looking South, at the bottom.

4:15 am

i grew up with a 7ft upstairs and a 6ft downstairs, both artificial.

4:15 am

the year our grandson came for Christmas we had a 12' tree that hubby had planted the year we came here

4:16 am

he loved it,

4:16 am

I tend to go with the nature in the seasons... in winter, I feel like turning inward, concentrating strenght and energy deep inside, waiting for spring to turn it outwards again. But Xmas here is very extrovert nowadays... too commercial, too many obligations, too much humbug.

Is there any LA words please

4:16 am

The White House trees amazed me as a child - 18-25ft high.

4:16 am

no, lady

4:17 am

wow dc, that is a great panoramic shot

4:17 am

that's cool. but lately my family has adopted a very lackadaisical attitude towards the holiday season.

4:17 am

don't think there can be, lady

4:17 am

last year on the 24th of december my dad forgot that xmas was tomorrow

I have a le x 4 and 2 le 6s what the heck is it i am missing

4:17 am

4:17 am

4:18 am

thanks

4:18 am

4:18 am

thanks Fran

4:18 am

yw dc, sprite

4:18 am

no, I simply was mistaken

4:19 am

4:19 am

4:19 am

DC you are not on fire to day thanks

4:20 am

I wouldn't say that... dc looks quite hot to me ;)

4:20 am

lol!

DC thanks i gots it

4:21 am

very interesting arrangement of colours there dc

4:22 am

I agree, flosey

4:22 am

if you follow the 2nd url i posted in my profile, she gives an explanation of the piece.

4:22 am

dc, i know i'm not an artist because when i took calculus it did not inspire any artistic thoughts at all!

4:22 am

will jot it down and check later dc

4:23 am

she was an artist who stated studyng math from arithmitc forward 4 years ago, and has used the maths no inform her art. The calculus played into her Zoroastrian series also.

4:24 am

to, no, whatever ;)

4:24 am

oh, I found te6/21 all by myself. Must be the very first time.

4:24 am

4:24 am

4:26 am

*goes hunting for that do8*

4:27 am

4:27 am

found it! Thanks BabbleRabble!

Thanks bab

4:27 am

i only knew the 2nd, british usage, was surprised by def 1.

4:28 am

i'm sure it's only when someone is standing behind you!

4:28 am

funny, you don't strike me as one at all, BabbleRabble ;)

4:28 am

cool, the alt spelling is in the grid too

head desk

4:28 am

ty, sprite

4:29 am

thanks Fran

4:29 am

yw sprite

My nets cracked it again

4:29 am

de 9 -- death penalty is alleged to be one

4:30 am

poor lady

4:30 am

the places in US w/lowest crime rates lack death penalty . Some de9.

4:30 am

woot, found it right away from that clue, BabbleRabble, thanks.

4:31 am

I don't think there is even one single proof that it really works as one, indeed.

4:31 am

latest research discredits the allegation

4:32 am

ab

4:32 am

morning, phan!

4:32 am

ab right back at ye, phan

4:32 am

hi phand!

4:32 am

don't mind my shoutout! Good morning!

Sometimes i wish there was the death penalty in AUs i know of at least one case were i would pull the switch

4:33 am

I just got here and seeing how many I can get...

4:34 am

some days I feel like I have been executed.

4:34 am

i live in the state with the 2nd highest rate of people on death row. Only Texas has more on death row, and kill more, than Virginia. I grew up in the court circuit with the highes death row conviction rate in the state. The Commonwealth's Attorney has used that fact to get reelected for decades now.

4:34 am

it's not a bad grid today phand

4:34 am

then you come to your senses and find you have a body still, sprite?

DC your legal system blows and sucks there are too many innocent people on death row its bullocks

4:35 am

yes, lady, i agree entirely.

4:35 am

the commonwealth has paid out huge sums of money for decades of wrongful deaths at this point.

I only believe in it if the person is 200% person guitly

4:36 am

nah, that is the bad part, dc... then I realise I do still have this failing body and mind... but then I make myself look at all my blessings and stop being sorry ;)

4:36 am

and people around the globe glad to know you're with us. :)

4:37 am

aw, that is sweet, dc :) You babblers are definitely one of my blessings!

4:37 am

i second that dc!

YEs Sprite i love our chats

4:39 am

so do I :) Babble is a great place to be, whether you are down or upbe4.

4:40 am

i'm popping in to agree (:

goss darn it

4:41 am

*smiles at Zombee*

Back some dolt locked the front door

4:43 am

hahaha

4:43 am

*dolt is not a valid word in this grid*

Thats why i used it

4:43 am

ah, you have got a point there, lady, lol

4:44 am

i keep missing the french ending today. sigh.

Seriously the house is still stinking hot and they closed the frount door

4:45 am

is that the ending of the de9, dc?

4:46 am

no, sprite. Ba7, among others

4:47 am

hm, I have a ba7/36 but it has a simple comparative ending... will hunt on.

4:47 am

my brain parses it as French, though you are correct in that case, and the one i just found.

4:48 am

my brain may well be blending tongues again. Babble smabble.

4:48 am

oh, LOL! I was trying with an extra e now.

Is there just 1 Ba 76?

7 i meant 7

4:49 am

areae is so valid. sigh.

and is there a DO 9?

4:49 am

4:49 am

I love AUs

5:17 am

5:17 am

it's embraced as something native

dang it i missed the nut

5:18 am

so singapore has it's own patois blend of mandarin and english?

5:18 am

too bad to go against native language

5:18 am

it's basically a form of slangish english which was born when people who didn't know english well translated mandarin to english literally

5:18 am

that was redundant.

5:18 am

well...yeah sort of

Heading to your house Jac

6:26 am

MrP - I've been making the cakes since I was about 11. I had to make one a school and my parents would never eat shop bought after that! When I got my own home I then had to make 2 and now I do 3 (one for P's parents, too).

Contact the place where you ordered it from, bfsog.

head desk. THey are now talking about warning labels on alcohol for pregnant woman and not to drink. WHy don't we just slap people

6:42 am

I have and they say we will refund your account and then recharge you, and send it out again

6:42 am

How long did they suggest it would take BF?

6:42 am

but i dont trust them!

6:42 am

well they said once the order went through itl be 2-5 days. its been 12 days

6:43 am

Lady, one of my favorite sayings is, "You can't fix stupid." Some people choose to be ignorant.

Oh i like that one scrabbler

6:43 am

Wow. I don't think I would be a fan of going through that again. Is there anyone else you can get the DVD after they refund you?

6:44 am

**anywhere, not anyone

6:44 am

well yeah i can get it elsewhere, and thats where i usually buy from, but i thought i would someone else my pennies

I use amazon or barns and noble

6:44 am

but i think they wont give me a refund, only a re-issue of the dvd

6:44 am

i use play

59 left... having to really think here :(

6:44 am

I don't do anything online..Thus no babble pro, lol

6:45 am

i dont babble pro either

6:45 am

I use Amazon for everything---DVDs, books, CDs. Some people prefer the indie places, but I need to save money.

6:45 am

If they didn't even give you the product, you would think they'd be obligated to give you your money back

shoot. 2 left no list

6:46 am

Uniquity, are you concerned about privacy and identity theft issues on-line?

6:46 am

they will give me the money back, but then (i think) they will redo the order, so effectively debit my account again

wow how did that happen

6:46 am

Go Lady go, you Babble Pro!!

6:46 am

i emailed them so i will keep you posted

It was the 8s that are killing me

6:47 am

Scrabbler - I basically just don't have a credit card. If I did, then I would be concerned about privacy.

7:12 am

You can entre part of a word with dashes or asterisk to represent missing letters and get suggested ideas back

7:12 am

Yes it is bb

7:12 am

Quite similar, except you can seek things very specifically

7:12 am

a7s?

7:12 am

But still try finding 179 words with just a te

7:13 am

everyday i learn something new

7:13 am

7:13 am

Very helpful on tricky clues, I find

7:13 am

hey herin you are so far ahead of me.......i have never even come close to finishing without using lickety/bj and list

7:13 am

beat this. I've never finished it once lol

BB i have done jigsaws since i can remember

7:14 am

brain development, eh? HAHAHA

7:14 am

good morning everyone - how's the grid today?

7:14 am

i do crosswords all the time but this always makes me work

7:14 am

morning asgreen

I look at the grid like a jigsaw puzzle. My brain is nearly both left and right (46/54) sided

7:14 am

just started here so only have 40 words (with no list)

Hi As

7:15 am

as7s - both build off the 4 (aid and ab**)

BB it took me a year to do it no list

7:15 am

hi blatt

7:15 am

hi bb, herin, zombee

7:15 am

herin--cool! abt the brain thing

7:16 am

herin you sound just like my hubby.

First i went half way, then 15, then 7 depends on the grid some days i don't bother finishing it as i cant get into it

Zombee i is mutant :p

7:16 am

although i am good at jigsaws too.

7:16 am

lol!

7:16 am

I've spent most of my life reading or doig some sort of puzzles (from word searches to crosswords and jigsaws). Love it. Babble is one of my faves

7:17 am

prodigious vocabulary -- not so good about maths

I find 1000 piece jigsaws too easy

7:17 am

FREAK!!!

7:17 am

you should be in the jigsaw equivalent of mensa or something

7:17 am

i have an 8000 but no table to assemble it on so it just stares at me from the box

Yep

7:18 am

I'm pretty even. Never been tested, but took advanced math in HS as well as as much English as I could get. Hate science but am good at it as well

7:18 am

lol. use the FLOOR

7:18 am

biggest shelf in the house

7:18 am

ty uniq

7:18 am

i love science

Oh bb i would love to buy those massive felt roll up storage things for the puzzles.

7:18 am

Although, my HS was super easy, so getting 90s isn't much of an accomplishment

I cant use the flooror the table i have a cat

7:19 am

ba 8 - is it off of the word before it?

7:19 am

Glad you got it bf!

7:19 am

7:19 am

7:19 am

lol...that's funny

7:20 am

7:20 am

Have you tried jigzone.com? You can choose the cut of the pieces as well as the # of pieces.

No as i find them annoying

Thanks Chiley

7:21 am

7:21 am

3D or jigzone?

7:21 am

7:21 am

7:40 am

thx Scrab - bundle up!

7:44 am

I'm back. The snow is heavy and coming down fast!

Good morning all, and thanks for that one, Peri-kins!! :-)

7:58 am

why am I having such a hard time with this one today?

7:59 am

Hi, asgreen... it's one of those "Monday grids that keep us from getting too smug!" LOL

7:59 am

I guess...lol....though, I NEVER leave here feeling smug! :)

8:00 am

YW Scarlet and good morning to you too

8:00 am

When I saw that we have to find ten eight-letter words, I thought, "Oh-oh... fun time in the old corral!" :-) asgreen... HOw is your weather, peri?

8:01 am

'cold, going up to 40's today

8:01 am

brrrrr

8:02 am

We have the warmth, but the dangerous, high-wind advisory is keeping us on our toes... making certain that any object that weighs less than 40 pounds is off the porch and surrounding areas...

8:02 am

findind this to be a hard grid

8:02 am

*finding* even

8:02 am

oh my

8:03 am

LOL, peri... I like the harder ones, but this is one that I will take in little "sips" through the morning.

8:04 am

I like the bigger grids, not necessarily the harder grids but I will plod through this one doing a little at a time throughout the day

8:04 am

ok buhbye yall

8:04 am

me too peri! :) so, last week was my first time on in months, and I saw fireworks 3 days in a row (my first 3 ever - maybe I DID feel smug!!)

8:04 am

I'm gonna pass on today's grid

8:05 am

good for you as

8:05 am

Isn't this site a wonderful place to use your head... for a short time, anyway, the world is suspended and all we have to concentrate on is words?

8:05 am

bye zombee!

8:05 am

my endurance has gone hiking

8:05 am

buhbye (:

hi Scarlet, i didnt see you sneak in

8:05 am

Yahoo for asgreen... *giggle at smugness* I think you were probably celebrating... Hi, Nono... yep... I came in on the Asheville WindStorm... LOL

the wind seems quite widespread this morning

8:06 am

P.S. "My broom is parked in the corner"...

have high wind adviseries here too

8:07 am

I wondered if we would have Internet service, because that is usually the first victim of winds...

8:07 am

Scarlet the ba6/24 and the ba8 would be appropriate words for you today

that and power ... either one and i'm lost

8:08 am

Nono, just checking here: what is the first description you would pull out when you are looking at the word orbs

8:08 am

Okay, peri... I already KNOW that... LOL... no surprises there!

8:08 am

NM then :-)

a round sphere of light i guess

8:09 am

*Laughing out loud now*\

8:09 am

I could come up sith some great definitions for some of the words I'm trying to make up

8:09 am

Okay... I thought of eyes... or spherical objects such as balls... but, they were misinterpreted... LOL, asgreen... so do I!

8:10 am

asgreen, did I read that you are tiptoeing up to your 40th birthday? If so, it is the beginning of a wonderful time of life for a woman!

8:11 am

I'm giving myself 20 more minutes of "fun" - then I need to go food shopping so hubby can make us a wonderful bday/channukah dinner tomorrow! (and I get the night off)

8:11 am

ha! the 40th birthday is more commonly known as your "20-20" birthday as it is the last time you will ever see 20-20 again!

8:11 am

tx Scarlet! I'm actually ok with it - it's just such a REAL number!

8:11 am

Scarlet, I guess my son won't be flight instructing or doing any aerial photography today

8:11 am

lol bb - hadn't heard that

8:12 am

LOL, bbnaz.... never heard that one before!

8:12 am

Hi, chiley.. it is a little disconcerting to look across the road at the 60-foot cathedral pines swaying back and forth...

8:13 am

uhoh....he lives on a mountain aboveHendersonville. He's been worried about some of the trees over his house. He lost quite a few and had damage in the ice storm 2 yrs ago.

8:13 am

Well, happy birthday and Happy Channukah to you, asgreen! May this be the entryway to a joyous new year for you and yours!

8:14 am

many thanks Scarlet!

8:14 am

Oh, chiley... that ice-storm was right after we moved in here on Dec. 5, 2005... it really took a harsh toll on the weeping willows and other, older trees!

8:15 am

I think it was in January of '06...

8:21 am

okay left hand side greyed out as well as the right side too

8:21 am

I don't like this grid one io** lol

8:30 am

considering I'm coming up on the septuagenarian days, I ought to keep my quotes to myself.

8:30 am

i must say, despite all the stress and drama of this year, i am so very thankful for all of the good things -- after all, ive got a good job, good health, a roof over my head, and the love of my life. the rest is all details, right? :)

8:33 am

8:40 am

cant get the two ae words. anyone have clues?

8:41 am

Good morning, mkg... Oh... a grid!

8:41 am

so, i know my sister-in-law is due with their 3rd baby in January, but i was talking to my mom last night to find out WHEN in january... turns out, because of stupid insurance reasons, the MIGHT induce her in late december, since her current insurance is better than the insurance she will have in january... *whew!*

8:42 am

good grief!

8:42 am

some people say capital punishment is not a de9 to crime...

8:42 am

Scarlet - you are cracking me up. Sorry mkg - don't have 'em

8:42 am

thanks, angel!

8:42 am

Too many people are making decisions based on the blasted insurance coverage... right now, my husband in in the "doughnut" and it

8:43 am

tx angel - and sorry mkg, dont have the AE word(s)

8:43 am

is not good. Hi, Une!! ARe you having high winds today too?

8:43 am

mkg: make soil looser, and past tense

8:43 am

well, shes due mid-january, so 2 weeks early isnt terrible... but i agree, its sad that people have to think that way!

8:43 am

bonjour Une !

8:43 am

thanks angel! :)

8:43 am

tx again Angel !

8:44 am

OK, I really need to go - stayed in PJs all day yesterday....need to go shower and shop - 112 to go - see y'all later!

8:44 am

not now, Scarlet, but when I drove home from my mom's last nite (an hour on interstate) I was a complete wreck--had to pry my hands off the wheel in my driveway . . . torrential rain and high winds--couldn't see a thing at certain points--was going 20 mph!

8:44 am

later asgreen !

8:45 am

salut, montreal!Ca va? Beaucoup de neige?

8:45 am

oh oui Une ! - j'ai dû pelleter ce matin ...et, bien sûr, la charrue vient de passer...

8:47 am

do those of you in the US know about Craigs List?

8:47 am

ok, this is what i found on urban dictionary website: Charrue is a Québecois expression used to define multiple things, including a big, fat and usually ugly woman.

8:47 am

busted, I'm still here, yes Angel - I've used it

8:47 am

absolutely, angel!

8:48 am

we were able to get three pieces of furniture from Craigs List yesterday. A chair for my office, a coffee table, and a rocking chair.

8:48 am

lol Une --- in this case, it's the snowplow of course...

8:48 am

LOL!

8:49 am

that's great Angel! I've sold stuff, found babysitters, etc. OK, I'm really out - w/108 to go - later all - poof!

8:49 am

Ohmigosh, Une... I re-coffeed and read your post... what a nightmare! Yes, Angel, folks here use Craig's List for job-hunting.

8:49 am

cool, angel! A couple of years ago I was able to connect with a local teacher just starting out at an urban grade school--gave her lots of supplies!

8:49 am

'Bye, asgreen!

8:51 am

scarlet, the funny thing is that as I left my mom's house, the caregiver and I were commenting that once the again the weather forecasters got it all wrong--not a drop was falling there!

8:51 am

As usual, Une... I can drive on ice, snow and dreck... even fog... but winds are another breed of trouble.

8:52 am

my litte green Sentra ("Kermit") was struggling down that road!

8:52 am

Awww... our car is called "Dreadnaught"

8:53 am

ohmy!!

8:53 am

:-)

8:53 am

hints for the i words on the top row? or the E just above the Ls on the left?

8:53 am

Just look from right to left for a four, Eva

8:53 am

it7 to utter repeatedly

8:54 am

What, what, what, Une?

8:54 am

thanks -- always annoyed when i miss that io4 -- its one of my favorite babblets!

179 and FIREWORKS!!

8:54 am

she was asking for "i" words

8:54 am

woohoo, nono!!

8:54 am

Yahoo, Yippee and Yowza for Nono!!

8:55 am

same here eva!

8:55 am

I was being brainless, Une...

8:55 am

Scarlet, speaking of wind, when my daughter lived in Blowing Rock, ohmygod the wind was incredible--blew her plants off the deck!

now i need a shower, Happy babbling everyone

8:56 am

Later, Nono

8:56 am

bye, nono

8:56 am

later nono !

8:57 am

Last winter, we had such a bad windstorm that it blew our 200-pound outdoor grill right over! Thank goodness for good neighbors... one lady was so shaken... a huge tree missed her car by mere inches.. the electric company had to come by to break the tree down in increments so the branches wouldn't interfere with the current.

8:57 am

someone was asking for the ae's: to add oxygen

8:58 am

wowie!

8:58 am

and past tense

8:58 am

I am still amazed that winds are such an issue in the mountains, though, Une.

8:59 am

i assumed it was an altitude thing in Blowing Rock but Asheville's not that high, right?

8:59 am

Well, Blowing Rock is several hundred feet higher in elevation than Asheville, but we DO get some doozies...

9:00 am

sounds like it!

9:01 am

At this moment, all is calm and the sun is smiling... so, into the grid before I lose I-net service!! :-)

9:01 am

gotta go with a mere 116 to go - more shovelling needed... and probably even more later as the snow has not lessened... BBL - happy babbling all !

9:01 am

Later, Luc! Please be careful!!

9:02 am

(((Scarlet)))

9:02 am

:-)

9:02 am

... and "POOF"

9:04 am

fireorks.

9:04 am

Congratulations, Angel!!

9:04 am

fireworks I mean

9:05 am

Well, I thought in your corner of the world, Angel, the orks were on fire today... the weather patterns are very weird!

9:10 am

well, for those of you were here earlier the dvd supplier got back to me.. they sent the same email again, say wait 14 days

9:11 am

i have waited 12 days! grrr it is not going to show up

9:11 am

Hi, bfsog... which DVD is causing the problems? A movie?

9:12 am

hey scarlet, i ordered a dvd for my gf for christmas, for some reason i went with a different online shop, it has never turned up

9:12 am

ve been in touch but they say they will wait 14 days, and then they will refund me and then charge me again and send out the dvd again

9:13 am

ut i want to just get a refund and buy it elsewhere!

9:13 am

At least you started early enough to anticipate foul-ups, bfs... so you're really ahead of the last-minute crunch...

9:13 am

yeah,

9:14 am

I just don't shop on-line... I also stay away from the insanity of Black Friday and Cyber Monday as though they are the plague... LOL

9:24 am

i was only 2 then, why stay away>

Morning....

9:29 am

morning leigh

9:29 am

Howdy, leigh!! :-)

9:29 am

stumped by the pe words the 7/32 second one is tough. any clues?

9:30 am

id never actually heard of Cyber-Monday until this year... i ended up having to work Black Friday this year, but actually had a sick desire to go to the mall...heh

9:30 am

just got that word so nm. thanks

9:30 am

so uh, why is it different than any other day? and why not go to the mall/

9:31 am

Me either... yet another marketing ploy that everyone buys into... not moi! :9

9:31 am

Must check emails... see you in a few! (With 70 left!)

9:32 am

bfs -- Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, where all the stores put on *insane* sales in preparation for the Christmas holiday... the sales are usually one-day only and very good, so people go nuts and start camping out in front of stores + in short, its just very chaotic. you hear stories of people getting trampled + even dying on Black Friday...

9:33 am

and is that why the stock market like went boom ?

9:34 am

i think youre thinking of the Great Depression -- different events

9:35 am

i dont know, i wiki'd it and it was telling me about the dow jones index losing 502 points

9:35 am

Eva, did you see the video last week about the artificial inflation of the market? It was superb... and very funny!

9:35 am

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Fri day_(shopping)

9:35 am

okay back for a few more.........

9:35 am

was it on Babble? i dont get to see the Babble videos. :(

9:36 am

eva...if you want to see the babble videos, just e-mail lickety

9:36 am

I have to thank jillibus for choosing it! Oh, sorry, then... it was just two men, ostensibly an investment banker and an interviewer... very droll, very British, and right on the nose about the manipulations of the stock market!

9:37 am

ask him about babble expert

9:37 am

bbnaz -- i cant do that because i Babble mainly at work and im not allowed to download anything here (course, im not really allowed to play Babble either...heh)

9:37 am

*snort*

9:37 am

ahhh gotcha

9:39 am

That British teacher who allowed her students to have named the teddy bear, Muhammed, has been pardoned!

9:40 am

right the dvd saga is over. they wont give me a refund until the 14 days are up

9:40 am

i am never shopping with them again

9:40 am

interesting how it is okay to name a person Mohammed but not a teddy

9:41 am

I know, bbnaz... there is a football player by the name of Mussin Mohammed, and no riots in the streets...

9:41 am

or the infamous Mohammed Atta.....oh wait to some he is a martyr

9:41 am

Or, Ali!

9:43 am

Well, the pardon came from Khartoum, Sudan... right from the president of Sudan... I guess the world stage had some influence on their decision.

9:44 am

and how many hispanics are name "Jesus"?

9:44 am

And... Concepcion? Urf.

*checks Babblecast* D'oh...

9:50 am

Hi All!

Hi Carra. *gives a wave, and then wanders off* Bye everyone.

9:50 am

Hi, carra!

9:51 am

Hi/Bye Leigh

9:51 am

Hi Scarlet!

9:51 am

Morning, all. Just realized there are 10 8 letter words. *falls off chair*

9:52 am

geesh alot of people i used to hang out with have kids.. im like the only 22 year old left hah

9:52 am

Carra, my youngest daughter is almost 26, and her friends have kids in school already! Hi, Judi!

9:53 am

*Helps Judi up from floor... waves smelling salts under nose*

9:53 am

*sputter sputter* Ty, Scarlet.

9:54 am

She just isn't interested in getting married, nor having children yet... or ever! *Hugs Judi in deep sympathy*

9:54 am

2 guys i used to hang out with have boys.. i wish they had girls b/c they were such womanizers lol would have been funny .. not now but when they would be old enough to date haha

9:57 am

Oh, yippee... the wonderful beloved just invited me to go to a late lunch.. for The Worst Food in the World: an amazing thing called the Dogzilla- 18 inches of Angus beef hotdog with red onions... (Don't worry, I'll use a breath mint before I come back to Babble!) Is there a hiccough on the site now? Hmmmm]

9:57 am

heck I didn't get married until I was 32..first child was a year later.

10:12 am

19 to go

10:12 am

words not children

10:13 am

Go, bbnaz, go!!

10:18 am

Yahoo... B and P words conquered!

10:30 am

Hello Atalante!

10:31 am

10:31 am

10:38 am

yes and an injection to give...filly will NOT be amused

10:39 am

you have to take filly by surprise bb !

10:39 am

oh trust me when I say that I do. She is not fond of needles and never has been.

10:40 am

i trust you bb...lol

10:41 am

fortunately it is an intramuscular shot so I don't have to try and hit a vein. Those are never fun with her.......the venous ones I mean.

10:42 am

just had my flu-vaccine - it was intra-muscular and i didn't feel a thing...

10:42 am

hi, what's the icon theme today?

10:42 am

ick. flu vaccines

10:42 am

favourite colour jane

10:42 am

oooooh. must change icon. brb

10:43 am

ok, my icon fits then!

10:43 am

i had a flu vaccine about 15 years ago ... and was sick as a dog - but last winter was bad for me coughing from november to march - so i decided to try again...

10:44 am

knock on wood....no flu vaccine

10:44 am

the flu vaccine makes me woozy

10:44 am

with our harsh canadian winters, colds and the flu are very common...

10:45 am

Well, that's happy, Spangle can be my favourite colour for today.

10:45 am

brown ? white ? hazel ? lol

10:45 am

I bet Atalante's will feature Hobbit's purple collar.

10:46 am

I can't make up my mind, montreal! Sitting on the fence.

10:46 am

the one that captures satellite transmissions ??

10:46 am

No, just the purple collar from the States. It's strictly for appearance.

10:47 am

i hear you hazel - picked orange but i really don't have a favourite colour per say...

10:47 am

back with my favourite coluor :)

10:48 am

It's a nice deep orange. Right, let's see if I was correct.

10:48 am

though hobbit's collar would do!

10:48 am

You see!

10:48 am

right on Hazel - bravo !!

10:49 am

blue-purple, baby pink, white, silver, light turquoise

10:49 am

magnificent Ata !

10:49 am

afternoon babblers! wearing my favorite color today (in my icon, at least) in real life, it seems im wearing Atas favorite color -- purple turtleneck sweater!

10:49 am

I should travel with circuses as a psychic.

10:50 am

Good afternoon EvaNadine.

10:50 am

hi there Eva !

10:51 am

interesting BF-job news... while he hasnt yet heard about the job he had the 2nd interview for last week, he just got a call today from a place he applied to -- they did a phone interview today + he has an in-office interview on friday. always nice to have a backup!

10:51 am

That sounds great!

10:51 am

good news Eva !

10:52 am

he even told them that hes waiting to hear about another job, and they were still interested... this one isnt a federal job though (like the one hes waiting on), but it is temp-to-hire, which is a good option...

10:52 am

yay Eva!

10:53 am

I hope it works out well for him.

10:53 am

considering i had my minor "im so stressed trying to keep everything together and make it all work" yesterday, this is definitely good news...heh

10:54 am

if Spangle is your favourite colour - is that the white or the red?

10:54 am

things usually work out Eva...

10:55 am

It would be the rusty red, Atalante. I like autumny colours - they suit me, maybe that's why.

10:55 am

yeah. i was just getting a little worried that id have to tailor back my christmas shopping this year, and it had me a little depressed... but then i realized i already had MOST of my shopping done...heh

10:56 am

Well there you are - you can relax a bit.

10:56 am

and with BF getting a new job, there could even me more shopping in sight !

10:56 am

yes, thats a beautiful beautiful colour. russety

10:56 am

Good afternnon all. Good news re the BF EvaN.

10:57 am

hi there FM !

10:57 am

Aha, elle est arrivee. Hello FMitch!

10:58 am

Lovely shades of blue. I had wondered whether you were using it to clue cobalamin from yesterday.... you being in clue generating mode and all.

10:58 am

Ca va noisette?

10:58 am

Ca va tres bien, merci!

10:58 am

Hello monty

10:59 am

bonjour fm!

10:59 am

That was a humdinger of a word!

10:59 am

ici aussi ça va pas mal... except for the shovelling done and to be done..

10:59 am

alo alo Ata

11:00 am

Le soleil brille et les oiseaux chantent dans les arbres. (they don't really but that used to be the standard beginning of unimaginative boys' French essays when I was at school.

11:00 am

rofl

11:00 am

A humdinger of a word, but some people just COULDN'T get it.

11:00 am

are u refering to "noisette" FM ?

11:01 am

Listen there were some people that couldn't have got it even if it was spelt out letter by letter!

11:01 am

Then when they learned the imperfect tense the sun shone and the birds sang in the trees.

11:01 am

FMitch -- another green-lover?

11:01 am

and tattooed on their hand for reference.

hi mitch

11:01 am

Le soleil brillait et les oiseaux chantaient dans les arbres.

11:01 am

Yes EvaN was leaning towards the green, dreaming of spring this morning. Hi TO :0

11:02 am

I concur, FMitch, my patience does not extend to the degree of spoon-feeding required.

11:02 am

Exactement, montreal!

11:02 am

bonjour TO !

11:02 am

:) hazel...

hello?

11:03 am

Hello TO - you're still being received.

ah, thought chat was broken...just slow

11:03 am

hello as well !

our system goes out at noon for one minute each day

11:03 am

Bon montreal, il pleut ici a le moment et j'ai manger un flapkack et boire du the.

11:04 am

Oh, your tenses......

11:04 am

But I understand

11:04 am

flapkack? knew the recipe had gone wrong somewhere.

11:04 am

un flapkack?

11:04 am

yay FM, understood it all !

who is eating a pancake?

11:05 am

Could it be a flapknack - a handy foldable bag?

11:05 am

But you wouldn't eat a bag. Unless it was for emergency rations.

11:05 am

no no ... must be flapjack...

11:06 am

Flap Jack - the easily distressed brother of Jill.

11:06 am

with real maple syrup and sweet cream butter ... mmmmm (now I think I must have flapjacks for lunch :)

and drinking tea?

11:06 am

Shhhh monty I was keeping it secret with encrypted typing.

11:06 am

Would you like some tea TO?

11:06 am

11:09 am

Silverclaw dit bonjour a la tout le monde. Elle est ici, ronronner comme une chatte folle

11:09 am

lol Bye TO

11:10 am

Silverclaw est bilingue?

11:11 am

oui! elle peut ronronner en frnacais et anglais

11:11 am

What about catish?

11:11 am

Quelle chat de gloire!

11:12 am

hello everyone. happy monday! I need help with the top row O. got the animal.

11:12 am

lol Haz

11:12 am

en la langue de chats aussi, bien sur!

11:12 am

deb - change the last vowel in the animal for another.

11:12 am

Heavens is it still Monday? It seems to have gone on for at least 3 days today.

11:13 am

It's still Monday - have you had a busy day?

11:13 am

thanks Haz

11:14 am

Busy but horrid too. High frustrations with customer service depts and outsourced accounts departments.

11:14 am

hi everyone

11:14 am

You're welcome, deb.

11:15 am

That doesn't sound so good. You didn't have to listen to canned music for hours?

11:15 am

also need help with the top row I. have the small amount

11:15 am

Hello crpw.

11:15 am

thanks, deb -- I didn't have that one

11:15 am

Hello crpw and deb

11:15 am

it7 - used recently to emphasise a point

11:15 am

its cold here in cincinnati so its a good day to stay inside and babble

11:15 am

oui! Silverclaw *est* bilingue! Elle est!

11:15 am

thanks again Haz!

11:16 am

Or one letter short of being able to read and write (it7)

11:16 am

No problem debjed.

11:16 am

clue please for 1st pe6-21

11:17 am

pe6/21 - nasty disease of the gums, I think. French father wrapped up with two vowels.

11:18 am

Have you completed the grid Haz?

11:19 am

Yes, it's a nice one today.

11:19 am

Oh congrats to you, seem to be a lot more larger words than usual.

11:19 am

hmmm. I have to go downstairs. But both brats are fast asleep here. They will jump up and follow me like the Pied Piper and then fuss around for 1/2 an hour before sleeping again. Annoyance

11:20 am

Yes, lots of those who do and comparatives.

11:20 am

Ata I am worried about you?

11:20 am

If you crawl on your stomach, very quietly?

11:20 am

you are?

11:21 am

You are sounding remarkably like a particular antipodean.

11:21 am

the quiet thing works with Hobbit. not SIlverclaw. Maybe just absolute speed will work *whoosh*

11:21 am

Can you go fast and quietly, though? Not knocking anything over either.

11:22 am

I tried. They both followed me LOL

11:22 am

Is it devotion or nosiness on their part, Atalante?

11:22 am

They just wanted to supervise and make sure they were not missing out on a food opportunity I guess.

11:22 am

welll someone's got to provide the amusement, FM :P

11:23 am

Devotion, obviously *smug*

11:23 am

can't get the gum clue or the french father clue haz

11:23 am

can i have another one

11:24 am

Okay, the first four letters are the same (but rearranged) as a word meaning to look intently, or a member of the nobility, or one who urinates (sorry!) The last two letters are then vowels.

11:24 am

just got it

11:24 am

Well done!

11:25 am

thank you, been trying that one for a while now

11:25 am

You're welcome.

11:25 am

Good afternoon all.......

11:25 am

p's are finally done

11:26 am

Good afternoon caitlyn.

11:26 am

Afternoon caitlyn

11:26 am

hi cait

11:27 am

How did you all enjoy your weekends?

11:27 am

Hi caitlyn

11:28 am

Lots of thinking going into the weekend question.

11:29 am

Sorry wasn't paying attention, am sudokuing.

11:29 am

It was fine, caitlyn, nothing very different to normal though.

11:29 am

I was busy working on the Secret Project

11:29 am

How about you caitlyn?

It was very cold here caitlyn.

11:30 am

Secret Project??? Hi Denny

11:30 am

Hi denny.. My weekend was fine nice and quiet fora change

11:30 am

When you say the Secret Project, Atalante, do you just mouth the words, rather then speak them out, a la Les Dawson?

11:31 am

of course. It can't even be spoken when alone

11:31 am

Hi sprite..long time no see.how are you?

11:31 am

ae6 - to introduce air and its past tense/adjectival form ae7

Francis did you have the thunder on the weekend?

11:32 am

thx, haz. it was excaping mem todya.

11:32 am

had a short holiday and enjoyed it very much! Did me a world of good. Trying to hold on to the relaxed feeling even though life is pretty hectic since I have returned. How about you?

11:32 am

Yes we did caitlyn and very high winds.

11:33 am

Im fine thanks sprite,Im glad you enjoyed your holiday,you deserved it

11:33 am

:D

11:33 am

You're welcome eieos.

11:34 am

Evening spritey sprite. Ata I am of course intreagued by "The Secret Project" to be referred to hereafter as TSP.

11:34 am

Better than TCP -that stuff stings.

11:34 am

Hello sprite.

11:35 am

...and smells

11:35 am

And smells awful

11:35 am

wow FMitch, lovely colours to knit with! Hi Frances!

11:35 am

Snap Denny!!

11:35 am

The smell reminds me of boarding school

11:35 am

Tastes worse.

11:35 am

i bet the 9 starts with RE. does anyone have a clue for it?

11:35 am

LOL its only really christmas presents, contents of which cannot be mention, just in case. BUT in Jan - Feb, I really *will* have a proper secret project

11:36 am

debjed, you lost. It starts de. And it is supposed to keep you from something.

11:36 am

It doesn't start with re - it's de, and is designed to stop you doing something for fear of the consequences.

11:36 am

Should we keep ears to the ground Ata?

11:36 am

snap, Haz

11:37 am

I know - let's hope she's on the same wavelength!

11:37 am

Oh heavens Dawn French is on TV and she has put on so much weight

11:37 am

indeed so :)

11:37 am

thanks

11:37 am

which channel?

11:37 am

More weight? Which channel?

11:38 am

We're like vultures!

11:38 am

Ch4

11:38 am

Taking a look.

11:38 am

It's a while since I saw her live so to speak

11:38 am

Do you think that's why she no longer does the chocolate orange ad?

11:38 am

you guys are terrible! Poor Dawn!

11:38 am

Oh she really has put loads more on..it cant be healthy for her

11:38 am

You're right - she is bigger.

11:38 am

ooo she has

11:39 am

I feel awful for her sprite I am not being catty

11:39 am

she's got gorgeous colour hair though

11:40 am

there, thats nice and positive

11:40 am

ah, ok FMitch... am sorry for her too. Hope it isn't bothering her too much.

11:40 am

good girl, Ata :P

11:40 am

And a lovely face

11:40 am

yup, love the colour.

11:40 am

She always claims to not be bothered by her weight, but she looks as though it's going to be more of an effort to move around etc.

11:41 am

Of her face??LOL

11:41 am

she is still very pretty. and there's not being bothered by the fact of weight, and being bothered by the effects of it

11:42 am

if she gets really big, it will be in her way a lot, I know. I can tell when I lose a couple of kilos, I can lie easier in bed and turn around and such.

11:42 am

Anyway, have to go as husband has arrived home. He thinks he needs something to eat.... bye!

11:42 am

Bye Haz, good to see you.

11:42 am

lol Haz, feed the poor man. And *hugs* for you!

11:42 am

byeee!

11:43 am

Bye Haz

11:43 am

Bye Haz

11:43 am

oh, I'd love to knit a sweater from your yarn, FMitch!

11:44 am

Aren't they wonderful colours!

11:44 am

When I googled this morning I was torn between the greens and the blues.

11:44 am

absofreakinglutely!

11:45 am

torn between two lovers...

11:46 am

FMitch I love the colour of the 2nd left top row

11:46 am

I love the combination

11:46 am

Couldn't help butt in, Sprite -- that song was voted in the top ten worst in history, but I always liked it!

11:47 am

Hi ch1212 I always liked that song as well

11:47 am

lol ch1212, same here. It is in my head now... for the rest of the evening, I fear :D ..... feeling like fool... loving both of you is breaking all the rules....

11:48 am

I bet if you go to youtube now you can find at least 10 versions of the song *grin*

11:48 am

Now you have done it sprite LOL

11:48 am

Couldn't really blame you, if you turned and walked away.. but with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stayyyyyyyyy

11:48 am

I knew it

11:48 am

*grins evilly*

11:49 am

think it must be before my time ;-)

11:49 am

and now the chorus every one: Torn between two lovers ......

11:50 am

me too, denny :)

11:50 am

feeling.... like a FOOOOOLLLLL....

11:50 am

So I have to say... I discovered that website where you can do "virtual makeovers" and this is me as a blue-eyed blond with a younger 'do'. It's so much fun without the actual fuss!

11:50 am

feeling like a fool........

11:51 am

ooh you're a foxy laydee CH1212

11:51 am

I took a photo of myself, then uploaded it, and had fun trying on new hairstyles, makeup and eyes :)

11:51 am

Quietly slips away to the still of sudoku land whilst keeping an eye on the babbling babblers :)

11:51 am

lol ch1212! Gorgeous... but I like you be6 the way you are.

11:51 am

Denny and Ata stop bragging...anyway my mum taught me!!

11:51 am

my mum only ever taught me to worship marc bolan

11:51 am

Ah gosh, denny... thanks.... and thanks, Sprite -- I like myself as I am too -- reddish-gray hair and hazel eyes and glasses :)

11:52 am

I know many songs from before my time.

11:52 am

my mum taught me to worship silence - but then she is deaf!! lol

11:52 am

Its a great photo ch1212

11:52 am

LOL Denny

11:52 am

silence is golden...

11:52 am

Not bad for 52 -- thanks to makeup!

11:53 am

"before you time?" Okay, let's all break into Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael!

11:53 am

golden, but my eyes still see

11:53 am

golden..but my eyes still see....

11:53 am

Denny and caitlyn *hugggggg* :D

11:53 am

Denny you and I are like twins today

11:53 am

blimey, i'm staggered I actually recall that line!!

11:53 am

lol caitlyn

11:54 am

i love that song caitlyn

11:54 am

I feel young

11:54 am

Dawn French is *very* short

11:54 am

Pops head round the door ... ch1212 whats the website for the virtual makeover? I want to look good like youuuuuu

11:54 am

now my consolation...

11:55 am

Who sung it? The four seasons come to mind pab

11:55 am

me too ata - short and young lololol

11:55 am

Gosh Ata, she looks square!

11:55 am

it's at ivillage.com -- the registration is free and the makeover thing is free too. Lots of fun, and you can email to your friends.

11:55 am

argh, I have to leave you guys. Off to the school with li'l old me. *hugs* around and will be back later.

11:55 am

Ata you are young!

11:55 am

she does, frances!

11:55 am

silence is golden was originally by the tremeloes

11:56 am

Oh thanks Denny..it would have made me wonder all night

11:56 am

I know *smug*

11:56 am

i'm too short for my weight - I should be 6'6"

11:56 am

Bye sprite see you soon

11:57 am

LOL Denny

11:57 am

Howdy folks!

11:57 am

me too lol

11:57 am

Ata You will have to go to the penalty box for smugness soon

11:57 am

Hi Takuma

11:57 am

Me too Denny. I should be 5' 15"

11:57 am

okay, just refreshed my photo -- this is the short pixie cut I'm seriously considering, in the closest to my natural (current) hair color. I'm looking for something really simple.

11:57 am

that's what my scales say when i get on them - afte they've sworn at me!

11:57 am

who's that guy next to dawn?

11:58 am

and not paul o'grady!

11:58 am

Oh, FMitch, the website lets you add glasses if you wear them too.

11:58 am

Used to be in Eastenders Ata

11:58 am

Sid Owen

11:58 am

wow that's lovely ch1212 - wish i could carry that cut off - you're so lucky to have that gorgeous face shape

11:58 am

fun grid today!

11:58 am

ooooh! he's aged!

11:59 am

"Rickey" and he and "Bianca" are coming back to the square!

11:59 am

He is going back to Eastenders in Jan

11:59 am

Oh gosh, thanks (blush). Right now it's below shoulder length, and I was just never a girly-girl -- I don't even own a curling iron or hair dryer. So I need simple :)

11:59 am

Ata he is about yr age

12:00 pm

LOL

12:00 pm

thank goodness I dont look as "worn" as he does!

12:00 pm

that looks like a perfect fingure drying style - and very flattering

12:00 pm

he's 2 years older than me!!

12:00 pm

ooops sorry about the spelling!

12:00 pm

ch1212 the blonde suited you better and no glasses. Hmm ponders should I get rid of glasses?

12:00 pm

Denny, just read your profile -- adorable, precious looking children!! And we have the same tastes in programmes :)

12:01 pm

Ours is 32 years old now, so you're lucky to still have them little.

12:01 pm

ok... who's missed me?

12:01 pm

and if you didn't... please lie. =)

12:01 pm

who are you? never heard of you

12:02 pm

Hey red where ya been?!?!?

12:02 pm

Hi red long time no see

12:02 pm

hmmm...didn't type that second post fast enough... did I ata?

12:02 pm

thanks ch1212, thought they're both a little poorly at the moment. Sean went straight to bed when he got back from playgroup at 3.45 and he is still there!! loves his sleep!

12:02 pm

hiya red

12:02 pm

LOL ok, missed you really

12:02 pm

I was on holiday for a week and then slammed when I got back to work. =)

12:03 pm

Hi Takuma

12:03 pm

oh... I work at a church, and we sponsor a children's play group twice a week, so the little ones peek into my office from time to time. I'm a frustrated grandma!

12:03 pm

and I couldn't get a decent signal all weekend at home. Trust me... I tried. =) Missed my babbling!

12:03 pm

i'm really looking forward to the new series of battlestar galactica starting - hopefully in the new year. have you seen Men in Trees?

12:03 pm

hiya mitch

12:04 pm

anything new I should know about around here?

12:04 pm

could someone offer a clue for the non-mammalian 'O' word starting from the top 'O''?

12:04 pm

I haven't yet -- it's on at the same time as a program my beloved husband enjoys watching, and since he is so good about watching Grey's Anatomy with me, I try to indulge him too

12:04 pm

takuma, change the second vowel on the mammal

12:05 pm

I heart Grey's!

12:05 pm

thanks ch. huh -- that's a new one to me

12:05 pm

Only 2 more 'new' episodes left unless they resolve the writer's strike

12:05 pm

it's eally good - I have been pleasantly surprised - altho anne heche's voice grates a little - but there are some lurverly men up there in Elmo Alaska!!

12:06 pm

and, once again, I lobby for "dern" to be a word.

12:06 pm

I use that one all the time, red

12:06 pm

are you seeing the new series of Grey's anatomy at the moment? with the new interns?

12:06 pm

The premise kind of reminded me of Northern Exposure (if you remember that show), and it looked promising.

12:06 pm

thankfully this grid will not give me the chance to Charlie-Brownedly try 'thar' again

12:06 pm

Ch-- I have a friend who's a writer but not in the union... she says the strike is really just making people mad. =(

12:07 pm

Oh yes, we tune into Grey's every week. I'm glad they are continuing the storyline of "Ava"

12:07 pm

"thar she blows!" "dern it!"

12:07 pm

i never watched northern exposure (too young i think!). Who was Ava?

12:07 pm

I have a friend who writes for TV, so I've been getting the other side ;)

12:08 pm

Ava in Grey's Anatomy -- last season she was the patient with amnesia who fell in love with that one intern, and at the end of the season her husband came to fetch her. This season she has returned for a couple episodes.

12:08 pm

Ah, any hint of a solution yet Takuma?

12:08 pm

I bet Takuma. There's always two sides, aren't there?

12:09 pm

oh yes I remember - fell for Alex, whose character I really warmed too in the end. My favourite is Bailey - she is hilarious!!

12:09 pm

Bailey is sooooo great.

12:09 pm

LOVE Bailey! And she's getting an expanded storyline this year too.

12:09 pm

sounds like they've been close for a little while -- I think there are models of the sort of agreement they're looking for out there

12:09 pm

Vah-jay jay. hehehehehe

12:10 pm

I hope so, Takuma. The writers are the core of every non-reality show, and deserve appropriate compensation.

12:10 pm

but I think these sorts of strikes tend to be long to resolve, since there isn't just one contract or agreement at issue (like in, say, the aircraft controllers' case) but lots of them

12:10 pm

cool - will have to keep an eye out for the new series

12:11 pm

I've enjoyed chatting but now must finish the laundry and then dive into this grid again. Thank you all -- have fun!

12:11 pm

ciao ch

12:11 pm

Bye ch1212 see you soon

12:11 pm

right. Poor writers never get enough credit. Always goes to the actors, producers, etc.

12:11 pm

bye ch!

12:12 pm

I must away too and see if my little boy wants his tea

12:12 pm

Bye Denny..see you

12:12 pm

in this case, the main beef is over revenue from online distribution

12:13 pm

see you, denny

12:14 pm

bye Denny!

12:17 pm

48 words so far how many more?

12:18 pm

179 total, GK

12:18 pm

who ok ty

12:18 pm

*le sigh* i decided to be healthy for lunch today and get a salad... i went to place it on the scale at the register, and the lid popped open and half my salad exploded out of the container! i didnt know i ordered the kamikaze salad!

12:19 pm

awwww

12:19 pm

hehehehehe. Must have been "spring" greens...

12:20 pm

booo red

12:20 pm

Oh poor Eva!! Have a chocolate to make up for it

12:20 pm

O=D

12:20 pm

takuma I meant whoo ok lol

12:20 pm

I figured, gk ;)

12:20 pm

ok

12:21 pm

LOL red!!

12:21 pm

is the 9 common and/or compound?

12:21 pm

Its de 9 a common word

12:22 pm

9 is a real word, not a compound, is a noun made froma verb

12:22 pm

(btw, I think the most appropriate response to good puns is complaining -- that one was so good and quick that I grimaced in real life, red)

12:22 pm

thanks vic and cait

12:22 pm

hi viiiiiii

12:22 pm

Howdy, Ata, and everyone!

12:22 pm

what can I say? I'm a very punny person.

12:23 pm

I got the 9 right away after that -- thanks again guys

12:23 pm

My kids are too young to get puns and it's very frustrating! Especially when they try to make up their own knock knock jokes. =P

12:23 pm

ok ok ok... I'm done with the puns... for now.

12:23 pm

Time to sort the supper out..chicken curry and rice Hi and bye Vic..see you all tomorrow.bye

12:23 pm

ciao cait

12:24 pm

oh dear, do you have to laugh madly at all the "jokes"?

12:24 pm

Bye, Caitlyn. Enjoy your supper.

12:24 pm

I like to think of puns as "advanced humor"

12:24 pm

I mean... it takes some extra thought to play with words like that. =D

12:24 pm

heh vic -- I know that situation. I want to encourage the kids to make jokes, but in particular *good* jokes

12:24 pm

Well, I often do laugh, but only because of the nonsensical nonsequitors.

12:25 pm

heh, good point red

12:25 pm

nice Vic.

12:25 pm

lets have an example :D

12:25 pm

heh, the pythons made a career out of non sequiturs ;)

12:25 pm

An example might be something like "Knock knock" Who's there? "Bathtub." Bathtub who? "Bathtub, time to eat your lunch!"

12:26 pm

(or, rather, a bunch of careers)

12:26 pm

I laughed out loud at that, vic

12:26 pm

looool awwwwww

12:26 pm

huh... bathtub... lunch... *ponders*

12:26 pm

I try to explain that it should involve a word that can be taken in two different ways, but they just aren't there yet!

12:27 pm

Stop pondering, redshoes! You'll hurt yourself!

12:27 pm

too late, I believe! ha.

12:28 pm

wait, vic -- do they laugh uproariously after they make jokes like that?

12:28 pm

Anyway, the point is that redshoes is right and a certain level of sophistication - somewhere above 5 years old - is required for puns!

12:28 pm

Yes they do, Takuma. They think they're hysterical.

12:28 pm

that's one of my favorite parts of kids' joke-telling

12:29 pm

I think that's rather brilliant Vi. Being able to laugh at oneself is truly one of the most wonderful traits ever... in my humble opinion. =)

12:29 pm

at least they're on the right track!

12:29 pm

I still have fond memories of a kid I was babysitting trying to tell me a knock-knock joke and laughing so hard I couldn't understand a word he said.

12:30 pm

Hi all....clues for be5/14?

12:30 pm

Boo Hoo I had a car accident today. somebody slammed into the back of my car at a traffic island!!! CAr a horrible mess and my back and neck hurt. Seeking solace in babble but as my head is fuzzy I may be popping up and asking for help.

12:31 pm

12:31 pm

12:31 pm

Oh Sandie am sorry to hear it

12:31 pm

sorry Flask... don't have that yet

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

ok thanks

12:33 pm

how fast was this turkey going Sandie ?

12:33 pm

I haven't gotten that one yet, either, flask

12:33 pm

oh gosh, Sandie. I'm glad you got treatment! How long do you have to be on the meds?

12:33 pm

It felt fast. He said his brakes had locked and he couldn't stop!

12:34 pm

be5/14 is some kind of reddish nut i believe

12:34 pm

be5/14 - nuts chewed for a mild narcotic effect, be + Willion ---l of apple-shooting fame

12:34 pm

Got to wait and see how I am in a few days then they'll see if I need further treatment.

12:34 pm

ah, good clue, montreal

William

Okay, time to relinquish the computer. Have a good evening!

1:29 pm

byeeee!

1:29 pm

Well, my ad for Animal Reiki is in the current edition of Tails magazine. But there is a major spelling error. They have heath instead of health. I e-mailed the person who placed the ad, asking for some type of compensation.

1:31 pm

drawing a blank on the te's -- time for a break

75 to go, must fly, see y'all anon *poof*

1:31 pm

oh no! stupid ad people!

1:32 pm

Ata, I am really disappointed and upset about it. The only consolation is that the ad reads correctly on their on-line directory

1:32 pm

hi you peoples of America

1:32 pm

hey sippo

1:32 pm

h

1:32 pm

hopefully, they will include it for free in the next mag

1:33 pm

hi ms.dubi

1:33 pm

I asked them to do that Ata and am waiting for a response

1:34 pm

they certainly should do at least that!

1:35 pm

I agree Ata, will let you know what she say

1:35 pm

*says* even

1:35 pm

Oh Peri! Of all the words to mistype...health into heath actually means someting

1:35 pm

if they don't, we will deluge their email with unimpressed letters

1:36 pm

Yes, I know, Uniquity. Really disappointed. And the magazine is for Dec/Jan. Will have to wait til Feb for a corrected version.

1:36 pm

Thanks Ata, appreciate the thought

1:37 pm

its always disappointing when someone elses error reflects poorly on you and its not even your fault!

1:37 pm

That's supremely unfortunate...as suggested though, the compensation could be even better! Or maybe people will be wondering what the ad was REALLY about and will check it out from curiosity!

1:37 pm

clue for the do8 please

1:37 pm

with all the other french words we get, why not head!

1:38 pm

to put a happy slant of light on it, most people will just read "health" anyway. Thats what they expect it to say

1:38 pm

do 8: add the chicago lrt to one who makes little circles

1:38 pm

I am hoping that is true Ata, but I still want to be compensated

1:38 pm

definitely!!

1:39 pm

Maybe if we all send letters of complaint...

1:39 pm

hello

1:39 pm

thanks cybernan

1:39 pm

it is amazing though how people will read what they expect. but that doesn't mean they messed up big time

1:39 pm

3:15 pm

Den, understand...even though our language is universal

3:16 pm

mlf, can

3:16 pm

Awwww... I feel sorry for you!

3:16 pm

3:16 pm

sorry*, mlf, can't clue what you don't know

3:16 pm

3:17 pm

finger went too far to the right

9 letter word follows on from the word before it. Means when you put something in place to stop people attacking you.

3:17 pm

Hi phaeton & praise2him, I'm kind of slow and not as good at this at mll13 and the chat box is also very fast

3:17 pm

Or, what Sandie should have had on her car bumpers when the chucklehead slammed into her car! LOL

Anyway, off to bed now. Happy babbling all.

3:18 pm

Hi all, back to find my last 50

3:18 pm

Too right Scarlet.

3:19 pm

have to go and get supper fixed

3:19 pm

take care all

3:19 pm

may be back later

3:20 pm

Well, Scarlet, there was a major spelling error. They had heath instead of health. Only response I got so far was from another magazine. They wanted to know if I would place an ad with them. Much more money than Tails. I said not at this time

3:20 pm

missing 2 pe 6/21 1 is between more moss and alert

3:21 pm

I e-mailed the person I placed the ad with and asked for compensation, ie. discount on next months ad or an additional month at no charge to me

3:21 pm

OH, peri... in publishing, when you are paying for an advertisement, you can call and nicely demand that because of the spelling error, they should be willing to run the ad one more time at no cost to you.

3:21 pm

oa - - -

3:21 pm

i need one more le 4/4 i have the le's

3:21 pm

Exact same posts, peri! Hi, Karys!

3:22 pm

Past tense for having moved the boat in the water, and what a western movie or television show is called (think of the grain)

3:22 pm

Scarlet, a baking question. If I make brownies and want to freeze them what should I place them in

3:22 pm

before I put them in the freezer that is

3:23 pm

HOw long can they stay in the freezer. was thinking of putting them in foil and then in a freezer bag.

3:23 pm

Wait until they are completely cool... very important. Then wrap tightly in Saran or other plastic wrap. Then wrap in heavy-duty aluminum foil, and then place in a Zip-lok bag!

3:24 pm

ok, thanks so much

3:24 pm

They can be frozed for at least six to eight weeks, peri.

3:24 pm

*(frozen* I cannot type today!

3:24 pm

3:49 pm

Thanks, anyway, tizer... I'll poke along!

3:49 pm

I was stuck on that same te.

3:50 pm

LOL... glad the monkeys were awake!

3:50 pm

scarlet is our hero

house selling is nightmarish... especially when the agent is being a fool! I was very angry at the auction cause he knew what we wanted to sell the house for, but he brought around auctioners who had $50,000 less.... a**hole

3:51 pm

the last ta5?

3:51 pm

ok all - if cubfan comes online pls send my warmest...

3:51 pm

Oh, no! Oh, mrp... I am so sorry for the anguish!

I only have a couple of handful and feetful of a's and b's to go

3:52 pm

Like the sticky road covering with a double consonant and the second vowel on the end.

well, I let him have it (a piece of my mind anyway) and he brought up people all through the afternoon who loved our house and the price we were asking

3:52 pm

still glowing with spray tan, mrp??

3:52 pm

So, did the house sell, Mr. P? Or did you tell the auctioneer to go pound sand?

3:52 pm

I am hoping that it all works in your favor, mrp!

3:52 pm

urg, thx Scarlet! glad you got so ahead of me! :)

3:53 pm

LOL, asgreen.. glad to help! :-)

3:53 pm

What a dimwit agent. Assuming he/she is going to make a commission on the sale - you'd think he'd want to bring in the most qualified buyers.

told the auctioneer to pound pavement and eat sand if he thought for one minute we were accepting $50,000 less

Judi, the problem is that he is attracting buyers that don't have enough money... making them feel all gooey about our house, then when we reject their pathetic offers, he sells them a less desirable house.

3:56 pm

disgusting

3:57 pm

I guess that integrity is not high on the priority list of this agent, mrp.

3:57 pm

darn - I gotta go again - man time flies! 44 left - bbl

3:57 pm

Again, what a dimwit. Only making more work for himself. Well, hope it all works out in the end. Last thing you need is the aggravation, I'm sure.

3:57 pm

Later, asgreen!

hi une! yes it is.... this is what makes selling houses such a nightmare, the agent!

as songwiriter nil lara says"it's money that makes the monkey dance" hi all

bye green :)

hi {{{{owl}}}}!

{{{{mr P}}}}

no offense to all good monkeys in babbleonia....

best be getting the kids off to school, back later! bye all :))

5:45 pm

My daughter is in 7th.

5:45 pm

clues for the ti8/40 and the to8/40? (I'm guessing they are same ending)

5:46 pm

bet they love that krista?

5:46 pm

We supposedly have that but it is built into the school day as it was difficult to get the kids to do the extra hours outside of school. Not sure how it is built in though

5:46 pm

momof did you get the 45?

5:46 pm

yes, but can't get the 40

5:47 pm

ti 8/40 is the same word as above with the other common ending

5:47 pm

same with the to

5:47 pm

** fish **

5:47 pm

Yeah, that's strange. My kids aren't old enough for that yet, MLFAN, but I hear the older kids in the neighborhood grumbling about it all the time. I think it's a good thing, personally, but I would have hated it at that age, too!

5:48 pm

it's my son that is in 7th grade for me, 9th is also a daughter

5:48 pm

well i suppose it would depend on what they were doing instead krista i mean lots of kids dont like school so anything to get out of it lol

5:49 pm

It's in ADDITION to their school hours. That's why they hate it. :) Yes, I'd have jumped on anything to get out of school. For sure.

5:50 pm

I am good, I just have been working hard on my daughter's graduation project all day, so she can graduate this year. It is an insane requirement that her class is the last to have to do and I am helping her as she has AP classes that take up alot of time

6:45 pm

Banana, can't use lickety, it makes my computer crash

just change the ending of the other one phae to ending that means more so

6:45 pm

I don't know why, it's the only link that does that.

bye, aloy

6:47 pm

I hate all the "must do" projects schools seem to be piling on. They are truly possible and reasonable only for children who don't have to work, and whose parents can help in some capacity.

6:48 pm

bye aloyisius

6:49 pm

well my daughter doesn't work but she does sports and has 2 ap classes, plus being a senior is having to do all the college app stuff too. Next term she will have 3 AP classes!

it should be on the page, but if not: http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /babbleclues.html

down at the bottom of the grid under friends of babble is a listing for lickety's babble clues

it will give you the first two letters of every word and will tell you many letters and how many points each word is worth

7:19 pm

7:31 pm

7:31 pm

7:32 pm

how about the te 5/10 after the place you sleep when you camp?

7:33 pm

nana and lead, did you pull up lickety's page?

7:33 pm

i filled in the most i could

7:33 pm

then i game up

7:34 pm

gave

7:34 pm

there is a bulk add at the bottom of lickety's page where you can copy and paste your list from the babble page

7:34 pm

ha! i know why it froze up! stupid firefox

sorry lost my connection

7:35 pm

why?

hey, peeps

7:35 pm

no, i don't get what she's saying either, but this is my first time playing, so i figure i'll just struggle along till i get the hang of it

7:35 pm

{{Tyger}} hello

7:35 pm

firefox decided it wanted to update, thought it was supposed to wait

nutty, it might not be FF or your computer. the web is crazy today

7:35 pm

that would do it, I suppose.

lol lead

7:35 pm

what's crazy about the web today?

hi tyger

7:36 pm

eie, thanks for your help, but i only can go in and out of this computer, dont know anything about cut and paste,

I've got a medium DSL connection (moderately fast, IOW), but I've been getting "unable to connect" messages all afternoon

7:36 pm

i think vista print IS shady, those jerks

nana, it's on lickety and you can do it even if you are in and out

hey, ange

don't have that te yet eieios

missed mom's greeting ((mom)), sorry

7:38 pm

no biggie Tyger

trying to do too many things. :P

7:38 pm

lead, I've been playing for a couple of weeks, and I am still stuggling

7:38 pm

hi all

back ton finish - hi all who joined!

7:38 pm

Hi Cathyar

7:38 pm

angie, which one are you talking about now? i got the 5, it is te + **nt and rave + personal pronoun

te5/10 for eie: te + ***n clouds + vowel

7:39 pm

thank you, Eieios

hey, TO

7:39 pm

Hi TO

Hi TO and cathy

*tosses dark hershey's kisses to the crowd*

penny, you'll get the hang of it

7:40 pm

glad to hear i'm not alone, penny

7:40 pm

well i went to lickety and went to the bottom of the page, saw the cip board, etc,,,would that put those words on this page where i am now

7:40 pm

thank you TO

yw, mom!

all you newbies - welcome. I recommend you read the "help" link. and then you try Lickety's page (link in list at lower left hand corner of this page). that's where we get those 2 letter thingies with numbers that we talk about

7:41 pm

owlly baaaaaaybeeeeeeeee

that was the one thanks eieios

7:41 pm

:)

nutty buuuuuuuuuuuuuudy!

7:42 pm

one thing is for sure, you cant be afraid of these computers like i am

nana, the only way Lickety's page puts things here is with Babble Expert. I recommend you learn a bit more about Babble before you try that. I'm afraid it would merely cause greater confusion for beginners

7:42 pm

don't worry about the shady mom, i think i achieved 100% damage control.

wassup nut?

7:42 pm

i found that page, typed in the words i found, then wrote them all out on paper, and copied them here, lol,,,

nana, the computer won't bite, I promise. It's just a machine, sort of a glorified typewriter.

7:43 pm

procrastinating owl, i'm supposed to be packing and finishing up laundry

nana, that's not too different from what I used to do.

nana if you highlight all your words in your list next to the grid and hit copy, you can then go to the bulk add on lickety and hit paste there

lol tyger

lacking? where goest thou?

7:44 pm

you mean packing? back to the hospital again.

ange, that's only with Explorer (of course, if nana's a real computer novice, Explorer is probably in use there)

lol

nutty, why the hospital?

7:44 pm

4 te's to go. i need help with the 8, 7, 5 and 5 after it....

what's wrong? ((((nutty))))

hot damn! just monkeyed do7/32! bananas all around *tosses fruit to greedy monkeys*

what 8, eieos?

7:45 pm

6 and 5 after the 8 rather

i see, it's that time again...

7:45 pm

i'm just the company guys...gear down. me hubber.

yay, TO!

7:45 pm

lol TO

7:45 pm

the te 8, tyger

7:45 pm

now word is frozen...yeesh

7:45 pm

highlighted them but nothing on screen says copy

7:45 pm

enjoy your puzzle,,,i will get the hang of it someday

it won't say it on screen, nana (some Explorer user, speak up)

7:46 pm

ok ty

7:46 pm

Nutty, I like your icon.

7:46 pm

I'll be thinking about ya tomorrow, nut

I don't use Micro$haft stuff, except where unavoidable

7:46 pm

right click your mouse, nana, and it will give you the option.

7:46 pm

spanks mom!

7:47 pm

you highlight, then click right mouse button. a window will open, click copy

7:47 pm

what's the matter with your hubber, nut?

te 8, think land without the first vowel at the end + she in spanish

7:47 pm

I think I am going to call it a night. Take care everyone. Nutty, will be thinking of hubby nut and you. {Hugs}

7:47 pm

he has the cancer

7:56 pm

yep, and gave them gelt too. some of them actually saved it for home...although i had to tell one that his pocket probably wasn't a wise place to keep it!

hi feather, i'm playing it later in the week with the class

7:56 pm

I still need to buy menorah candles though

LOL, feather

7:56 pm

it's really hard to find gelt without a peanut warning

7:56 pm

lol feather

7:57 pm

dr - target, bed bath beyond, cvs - all had nice ones

with so many who have a life-threatening allergy, I'm not surprised

7:57 pm

nice to see ya, Feather, Dreidel Master

7:57 pm

we did a couple rounds whole group, then just let them go off on their own with it. they did well!

7:57 pm

TY I will check Target- its the closest

7:57 pm

yeah, tis the season to have the stinking dreidel song stuck in my head 24/7...

7:57 pm

I was just singing that! lol

lol

7:57 pm

Also the Adam Sandler song..not for kids, tho

7:58 pm

bwahaha, if i can't get rid of it, i can at least infect others with it!

7:58 pm

lol - love the Adam S. song

7:58 pm

7:58 pm

8:05 pm

working on those too hawk

8:06 pm

Last 6?

8:06 pm

""Oy vey** to that..thank you, for the clue, green

8:07 pm

the 6 builds off the 5 with a vowel at end... the * has an ending like an object which keeps rain off you (umb*****)

8:07 pm

yw

8:07 pm

That's the type of word I would have felt stupid for trying.

8:07 pm

thanks

may i have a clue for the third te 6,21?

8:08 pm

the 7 - ter + Jim Carey flick me, myself + i****

8:08 pm

Hi, all

8:08 pm

Hi Pam! Are you freezing up there?

8:09 pm

hi, angel and krista

8:09 pm

It's cold outside, krista, but I like winter!

hi pam

8:10 pm

i only like it if there's snow..we had flurries today. I was so excited. It was pathetic

8:10 pm

can I have a clue for the te8,40?

8:10 pm

expecting something wednesday maybe?

8:10 pm

We had snow, then it melted--an inch or two--then more flurries...

8:10 pm

not more than flurries i hope..

8:10 pm

dumb question of the night..in Scrabble, what happens if there is nowhere for either player to play her remaining tiles?

te 8 think land without the first vowel at the end + word that means she in spanish

8:11 pm

they subtract their own unused tiles and add the others unused tiles

8:11 pm

Oh yes! Here's what yahoo says for us, hawknoah:Cloudy with intermittent snow showers and flurries becoming a steady light snow later. Cold. High 33F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 80%.

8:12 pm

tx angel!!

May I have a clue for the 2nd re 5,10?

you're welcome

8:12 pm

yikes! maybe you're getting it worse in Hagerstown

8:12 pm

each player does that, hawk? (the forecast was for Wed.)

8:13 pm

i believe so

8:14 pm

don't have 'em yet angel

8:14 pm

that makes sense, thank you

8:14 pm

weather.com says light snow, high of 39 for Frederick wednesday

8:14 pm

We have a field trip..always snows on field trip days

8:14 pm

2nd re 5.10: think a part of the high minus a consonant before the last letter

8:15 pm

i'll believe it when i see it though-- here they cancel school for anything

8:15 pm

probably just when my daughter's ready to go back to school too

see you all tomorrow!

8:16 pm

I can't get the te8--don't know "she" in spansih...

8:16 pm

Night, TO

8:16 pm

bye TO, have a good night

8:16 pm

8:17 pm

gotta go..have a great evening, folks

8:17 pm

pam, land minus the last vowel + E*** the fashion mag, but change the last vowel

8:17 pm

I just got the te 5 - don't have the 6 (last te I need) - bye Krist!

8:17 pm

yes, green

8:17 pm

te8.. te + consonant + when it rains you use an umb*****

8:17 pm

good clue, hawk

bye krista, take care

8:18 pm

the te 5 is: te + *** la la (captain underpants says it!)

8:18 pm

let me think of another clue for the re5

8:18 pm

lol - cracking myself up

8:18 pm

re + (isn't there a drink called the) *** maria?

lol asgreen

thanks hawk got it

8:19 pm

8:19 pm

I need a clue for the LAST te

8:19 pm

8:19 pm

cool, now how about that 2nd te6.18?

8:20 pm

last te.. t+ write a thank-you l*****

8:20 pm

last te - rhymes with what you might mail in an envelope

8:20 pm

Dr...you there?

add a vowel to the end of the te 5,10 before it

8:20 pm

thx hawk! and uni too!

8:21 pm

2nd te - te + double consonant + first and second vowels

8:21 pm

te 6.18 please.....

just clued it hawk

8:21 pm

thanks, just saw it

8:21 pm

8:39 pm

i need a clue for the do 6/21, the middle one.

8:39 pm

ei, I'm not sure which one I have of those yet

8:40 pm

eieios - change the last letter of the do6 below it

8:40 pm

the 1st do6 is more of the do5 above it

8:41 pm

the 3rd one is the person who put the spots on the leopard

8:41 pm

thx, dan. i needed the first you clued.

8:41 pm

now about that 8?

8:41 pm

ra7,28 plz?

8:42 pm

Finally finished!

8:42 pm

for the do8, add vowel and stick to the 3rd do6

ra 7, 28 adds a vowel to ra 6,18 before it to make it more so

8:42 pm

ra7 - more than the preceding 6 (which builds off a rodent)

8:43 pm

asgreen, it is the comparative form of the word before it

congrats uni

can't wait to read your review on it Feather.

9:22 pm

excerpt: Still in my coat and hat, I sank onto the stair to read the letter. (I never read without making sure I am in a secure position. I have been like this ever since the age of seven when, sitting on a high wall and reading "The Water Babies", I was so seduced by the descriptions of underwater life that I unconsciously relaxed my muscles. Instead of being held buoyant by the water that so vividly surrounded me in my mind, I plkummeted to the ground and knocked myself out. I can stell feel the scr under my fringe now. Reading can be dangerous.) pardon any typos, was typing that without looking up

9:24 pm

that paragraph was on the second page in, and was when i started loving the book

9:25 pm

i've just put it on my wish list! thanks feather.
