night muse!
Not really. I have taken off my happy hat. I had snuggles all night with the cat that made my night
jut found the pa7x2 and pa8, so thnks to all of you for those!
no entrail?
For the record she is not meant to upstairs
awww, herin!
or must it be plural to be a word?
cat snugglness is nice. i'm enjoying that aspect of the cold so far.
can't fine that al 8 --- want alternate
which is a 9
still looking for the ai8 and al8!
we had scattered snow flurries today. First in years.
I thought it was worth the 15 bucks just to not have the big ears.
you got a cold too, dc?
closeish, there, nan :)
no, it is cold, jilli :)
they are calling for up to 20cm here tonight
lmao re big ears, on that note ***poof***
we're supposedly getting some amount of wintery precip on Wednesday. We'll see.
got it!
She is not allowed upstairs due to white hair and fur every were. Last night she pushed open the downstairs sliding door and jumped on the bed. She was taken back down stairs at 630am by the b.f and she bolted back up stairs and jumped on the bed.
just need the second te 7 called and I will have caught up!
Moon I like that I feel odd now not having a pic
good kitty!
I was only kind of glad to be snuggled with all the animals last night until the really big ape tried to put his cold feet up my butt.
dc, it's warm here -- fran sent us a Pineapple Express
okay, I am off to bed. see most of you later and for those of you who are speedsters?!?! Congrats in advance for your fireworks.
both te's are the same points
that was sweet of her.
g'night bb!

hey, I'm getting hungry!
yum. i bought a riesling, a cabernet sauvignon, and an italian table white today.
LOL! sorry jilli! it is food talk time!
I LOVE!!! cab sav!
it's bed time here!
i'm curious about the cab sauv - it's a California Central Coast Kosher one. I bought it to compare against the French Koshers i know.
I just grabbed TGI Fridays Bacon Potato Skin chips
We have such a huge selection here... our country is all about cab sav! beside merlot, it is the favourite wine
If you guys aren't careful I'll be driven to opening a bag of pork rinds
yes, some lovely cabs and chards i've had out of Vic and NSW.
pork rinds and PBR - foods of my childhood.
hello babblers !
just on for a bit before bed-time

Hi Mellon

hi, hi. my hard drive "vaporized"
Yes indeed
rut-roh melon
I actually got to bed before 11 pm 5 nites in a row - it's overrated {rolleyes}
a trip to the Apple store got it replaced - they recovered everything on the old drive, too.
enough good rest helps control weight, mood, and hormones. It's a Good Thing. :)
that's great melon!
Melon that is a good thing
DC yes in Victoria
ok, speaking of bed, i gotta go
good nite everyone
dcseain, you are so right. left to my own devices, I would got to bed around 1:30 and get up at 9 - but that's now how the world works. . .
Night Helen
g'nite Helen
g'night HK
don't know which store this is but it's funny: http://tinyurl.com/ysaa22
just laughed root beer out my nose
the wind is wh istly tonight, and the chimney is drafty.
LOL, sorry, melon :D
melon, I go to bed at about 1:30 and don't get up until about 10, so there -- but I'm totally out of step around here (nice to see you back!)
56 to go...off to bed for me, goodnight ev1
87 to go, save them for tomorrow, goodnight all
sleep well, banana
you also, crpw!
bye banana & crpw
hi, jilli, when my 2nd & last kid is out of the house, those are the hours i aspire to - I'm good with a siesta, too.
I need a word from the right-hand I, and from the T above it (I bet that's the 8 I can't see)
my grandmother used to sleep 2:30-10
can't do siestas, melon -- wake up groggy and grumpy
tr8 comes from the center T
I have 2 tr7s from there, dc
tr8 builds on tr4/5

one who observers vietnamese new year ? , jilli
te6/18
ah, got that tr8 -- thanks!
:)
phantom - tequila
got that right hand T -- groan, dc!!!
didn't say it was good clue, but it was rather litteral *sheepish grin*
i'll claim i was channelling babrab and ruru ;)
more gorans, dc!
groans, even
I wish I knew what is was so I could groan too!
metoo lynxxx, hi all
morning, MVA.
hello MVA
she's groaning about te6/18 - one who observes Vietnamese New Year.
huh. it's a medical term for the eruption of a skin blight.
yuck, dc!
well, my children are strange!! for dinner, they requested wraps.... one with salad, the other with tomato, cucumber and egg! bless them!
exciting that they chose helthy :)
mmm, sounds good, mrp -- all of it!
dcs, they are extremely health consious... they cut all the fat off any meat they are given, and refuse oil or sauces
that's nut uncommon at that age, esp the oils and sauces.
Jaden, my nephew who's Luke's age, hates sauces.
so did my sister for years.
i've always liked them, myself
Jilli - the other one is te5.12 te + anagram of a feline
I offer them pies and sausage rolls on a friday as a treat, they knock it back for toasted avocado and cheese sandwiches on multigrain... can't complain
got the al8 now -- the biggies are beginning to arrive
jilli, is this one tough?
oh mrp, I'm getting hungrier and hungrier -- what kind of cheese with the avocado *drool*
i've gotten 95 so far.
mrp -- I'm just long-word blind
the best is, when I offer them juice or water... they always go with water. It is a reflection of what they had as babies/toddlers.... good healthy foods
have to try avocado and cheese!!
it's yummy, MVA, i like tomato w/it too.
well, they don't know it, but I give them colby or vintage cheese
vintage cheese?
my son has ham with his, by daughter has vegemite with hers
I'm putting that on my shopping list!
vintage cheese is like extra extra tasty
too bad you mentioned vegemite
it has a lovely 'bite' to it :D
love vintage cheese, would use marmite tho!
i've had vegemite once, and marmite never.
oh we love vegemite jilli! that is what we have been brought up with
I just lost my appetite, thank goodness!
what is vintage cheese? Is that a type of cheese?
I've tried to like both mites -- no go
it is disgusting, unless you are australian... i guess it is like eating ??? what in america??
Morning all. We call it mature cheese.
morning frances
pigs ears or cheese curds
Hi Frances
I was introduced to marmite as a britkid -- never did like it
i know mature cheese not either.
hi frances
hi frances -- we call it extra old or aged
they're really all pretty disgusting.
Oooooo marmite - love it with butter on toast.
well, what I liked (and can't get) is bloater paste on buttered toast
9+
on that note frances i'm off for toast and marmite!
aged cheeses i know. i've liked the ones i've had, but for limberger, which i prefer young.
Me too MVA
limburger? eh, whatever.
sorry blame the cat!!
I'm talking aged cheddar and the like -- just extra sharp, not stinky
got to go now, bye all!!
ciao, MVA
bye MVA!
I guess it is cheddar cheese, but a stronger version
nite
Thought you were giving us your age mari.
lol - bloater paste sounds pretty awful Jilli - anything like anchovy paste though? love that on toast
bye mva :))
yes, aged cheddar i s common, as is gouda, and others.
I wish
nite moon
bloater paste! I give Hobbit her tablets covered in bloater paste :D
and hi :D
hi ata :)
Morning Ata
lynxxx, it's like a milder version of anchovy paste
morning, ata
phantom word: centaur
neither Boston nor Cincinatti is 'near' here.
Hi Ata! you had better send some to Jilli
hi ruru!! :))
dcs, I can send it to you
hi mr. P
How about sardines and chopped onion on toast. Delicious.
ata, where do you get the bloater paste? We used to get Crosse & Blackwell in little fluted glass jars
lovely icon there
send what to me, mrp?
eewwwwwwwwwwww hate sardine
I get exactly the same :D From Tescos. Do you want me to send you a pot or 2??
send vintage cheese to you
found a can of sprats t'other day -- lovely on toast
i wonder if it would clear Customs.
Yummmm - sardines on semi-burnt toat!
Yes indeed, ata! Let me know how much they cost!
dont see why not, its a vacuum sealed pot
maybe dc is talking about the cheese
oh, it's a potted chees product?
ata is taling about bloater paste, dc -- not cheese
oh they aren't a lot! 50p max! email me your proper address and I'll grab some next time I go shopping :D
oh, is there another food thread going on i missed *blinks*
I will find it for you in the US
No Ata is talking bloater paste in pots.
sorry dc! food confusion
US doesn't help me much
or are you talking cheese for dc, mrp, LOL!
ty, but i do not eat fish, so bloater paste is not of interest. :)
hey dc, here's a question for you though - do you know anywhere to buy halloumi cheese in the US?
ata, I think my address is in facebook
Carlee would know I am sure
yes, my local Whole Foods Market
halloumi is nice
I am talking cheese for the world!! you all have to experience vintage cheese :B
agree - another yummy food
I think the Lebanese Taverna Market carries it, too.
haloumi is lovely, sliced up and bbq'ed with antipasto salad
they have it????? the Portland (Oregon) WFM doesn't, they can't import it into Oregon for some reason
I like my cheddar as mature as I can get it. Very tangy.
Huh. At least the stores here in Northern VA have it, haven't looked for it in DC, and i've seen it at the Bethesda and Rockville, MD stores.
Aged Vermont or Ontario cheddars are my faves.
BBL - taking coffee break
....but favourite is a nice ripe stilton.
you're lovely. I'd hate to not have halloumi. I make a gorgeous west indian style curry with halloumi. Its probably the nicest thing ever
i have a very ripe stilton in my fridge now. I think i'll make it into a cheese sauce tomorrow or Friday.
lovely? lucky! LMAO
sorry, can't abide stilton or an blue cheese. Took too much bacteriology!
lovely, lucky, loony, loco... :D
I can't speak or type this early in the morning!
good morning everyone!
good day....good evening....
Guten Morgen, marar :)
buenos dias
i wonder if any of my friends here know how to dance a zarzuela. I guess i could teach some. I'm in the mood for one today.
I don't want exactly want to change the subject from cheese, but I am eating the most delicious brownie right now! Best recipe ever!!!
hi marmar :))
a good brownie is worth 100x its weight in cheese :)
ah, my first word was pee!
Hello mrp! The food theme today is most enjoyable. For me, much better than this mean grid!
Back to the cheese.....got a habit from my Swedish daughter-in-law.....eating mature cheddar with raspberry or strawberry jam.
oopps that depends mr. p
oopps that depends mr. p
hey all
morning, karyn
that is a very odd combo there frances...
zarzuela...what's that?
oh thats *yum* frances
....but really good ruru
hi karyn :)
ohhhh, cheese and jam. I love that too.
oh see I am way beihind on cheese parings
My mom used to like a slice of chedder on her apple pie. Go figure!
well, I found a lovely cheese recently -- goat cheese covered in cranberry-cinnamon. Of course it was promptly discontinued.
A zarzuela is a formal dance derived from a medieval theatre tradition.
I love that cheese from spain called Pimiento...
wensleydale with cranberries is the best. along with halloumi
Marmar, had cheddar and a granny smith apple yesterday.
cheddar-apple pie is nummy!
it's up there with strawberry-rhubarb in my book
now THAT i will go for...apple cheddar yummm
"Apple pie without cheese / is like a kiss without a squeeze" my uncle used to say
I like that jilli.
I'll have to try it. (ched & pie I mean.)
Jilli, my dad used to say "an egg without salt is like a kiss without a mustash". Ha!
wenslydayl w/cranberries, some blueberries on toast with a hearty semi-dry red is lovely snack, maybe a few grapes on the side.
DC, what's zarzuela? Such a pretty word.
argh.. now I have to go eat something.......stop it
Must have grapes with the stilton dc
I asked my friend from Oregon what the first thing she wants to do when she arrives here in a week's time and she said "go to the farm shop and buy CHEESE!"
stop awreddy!!! I'm hungry and mustn't succumb!
Zarzuela as a formal spanish dance derivef from a medieaval theatre tradition.
i lke fig preserves with blue cheeses.
That sounds good dc
Zarzuela is also various theatre and musical traditons of the same source.
Ah-ha. Sounds interesting.
I'm escaping to bed with a growling tum
Sleep well jilli. You'll dream of food.
blue cheese with barely cooked spinach, vinaigre, toasted walnuts, and dried cranberries is nice, also, a lightly warm salad.
g'night, jilli!
g'night (at least you're talking about ugh blue cheese now)
oh enjoying this puzzle! lots of twisty turny ones
I'm tossing up the options.....cheese on toast or marmite on toast.
have I missed cheese talk??
sigh
have both frances :))
i like to dance. haven't done much of it since i lived in Spain. I lke to tarantella, too.
bye! *poof*
Tooooo tempting mrp
cheese on toast
cheese on marmite on toast!
DC, is it like flamenco? I just googled and looks wonderful.
cheese and worcestershire sauce!
Oh yes Ata. All the flavours.
not quite, but there is cross-influence. Flamenco and fado are more alike.
haven't had a good quadrille in ages! we did quadrilles along with waltzes growing up.
...and not to stray too far from the food theme, Googled "zarzuela" images show some delish looking stews and compotes too...
I took flamenco lessons for a while...loved it!
yes, there are seafood stews of that name too. Forgot about those. :)
Marmar, you might enjoy the fado music of Madredeus, then.
My teacher said I had "Duende"!
¡que buenÃsmo para tÃ! :D means you had rhythm, soul, and skill.
Back in a min......off to the kitchen.
what is duende?
EspÃritu fantástico del que se dice que habita en algunas casas y que travesea, causando en ellas trastorno y estruendo. Aparece con figura de viejo o de niño en las narraciones tradicionales. is the definition in Spanish. Basically, you had spirits within/about you that gave you fire, form, flexibility, and a degree of drama and angst to your performance. "You got soul" in Southern US vernacular.
where did corks go??
Already spotted Madredeus on Amazon uk. I'll def. order it. I love the music. My kids like it too.
duende is lit "one that possesses the house"
Don't say "corks" mrp...remember?!
o Espiritu da Paz is a favourite of mine among their albums
oh sorry!! I just assumed it was ok... like when I call scrabbler, scrabbs
and dcseain, dcs!
who's corks??
and Mar.... can I call you mars??
a very good morning to all! *hugs mrP* How ARE you, darling?
corko101 is full username, if i recall
morning Sprite *hug*
oh darn... first word to enter (reenact) is a phantom. THis bodes ILL.
hi sprite {{{{{{hugs}}}}}!! longtime no see! have you been on holiday??
hi all
YES mrp!
morning, joso
hey, why no abbrevs? Are we really supposed to call everyone by her/his full username?
corko101 is full of username, if I remember :)
hi joso!!! {{{kisses and cuddles}}}
yes, mrP, had a terrific week with the girls. I heard the house got not sold?
that's right, he/she got a little huffy earlier when someone called them "corks".
heyyyyy JoSo! *huggggs*
oh no .... silly!
not sold... I am furious with the estate agent.... they got a mouthful from me!
morning dc, mr p, sprite
hmz.... I'd say if one want everybody to use their full name, they should not go for extensions like 101. But that is me.
joso, I love that icon of yours
you were perfectly entitled, mrP! What did they say?
sprite, Luke has decided on a handle for babble... he calls himself 'skeleton'
JoSo, my kids have buried themselves in your comics!
ok mrP, if I see skeleton around, I'll be sure to give him a warm welcome and any help he should need!
Good morning sprite
the vowels in my name befuddle most everyone :)
they are using us to sell inferior properties... they bring people here and tell them that they can get...???$$, then when we refuse, they take them to properties that are inferior and sell them
tnx Mr P, my defalt icon, for when I'm too lazy to go with the daily icon, Dr Doom, my favorite villan
I am going to say it.... f**kers!!
joso, it is a great icon!
Oooooo mrp!
omg mrP, that is f*cking with you indeed. Can I kick them for you? Where it hurts most?
that seems rather unethical, no, mrp?
So sorry your house didn't sell. I saw the pictures - it looked beautiful. Do you still have it on the market?
oh, I kicked them so hard! during the auction, they only brought people who had $50,000 less than we wanted
I love the vowels in your name, dc. They always bring a picture to me from you in the ocean :)
Is F*cking in the grid or did I miss something... lol
dcs, if I could prove it, they would be suffering
love you ruru!!
That is a lot of less!
that's luke, I've been calling him red because skeliton is too long, the referance has got to be decades beyond him.
LOL rurur... no sorry, that was me sympathising with mrP.
and the best 'offer' we had was $530k.... I told them in no uncertain terms what they could do with that offer
oh god I feel old now..
hm. we coul all call him red, and see how long it takes him to figure it out. :D
can you kick the agency and get a better one?
so, after the auction, and after I told them to f*** off~!! they had open house for another 5 hours...
that is a lot of money up the old you know what
now, we have an interested party from that open house, who is really really keen! it pays to stand up I believe
teasing luke is not allowed! *crossed arms and looks around sternly over rim of glasses*
I can't sprite, we have them signed on for 3 months, cause they 'convinced' us to go for 3 months
oh yes, it does, mrP! Don't go for anything outside your limits, be loyal to yourself.
didn't mean to tease him, had no idea of his age, I'll be better
is ur agent communicating fully with buyer agents i wonder.
the agent convinced us to sign onto an auction... that way we are bound by them, no matter what
joso!! when did you send the comics darling??
well, I know you... you will give them hell :D They will either make sure they make amends, or let you go before the 3 months are over, just to be rescued from your razorsharp tongue!
dcs, I don't give a damn... they are bound to us and how much we want. if they don't accept our price (which is fully acceptable) we are going to go elsewhere

Luke is mrP's and Lickety's son! And a pen pal of my son. How is the letter coming along, mrP? Kids are guarding the mailbox, lol.
wow! what a route!
yes, i support and affirm your POV, mrp. I'm qustioning the ethics of the agent.
I assume they 'earn' a nice fat commssion from the sale so surely it is in their interest to get the very best price.
the letter and goods are being sent this weekend!! luke has found stuff for tim... maddison has some gorgeous stuff for caya
i'm a rather cynical person in some respects.
true, frances.
took a month of shipping time from toronto port to amsterdam port for sprites parcel
they got a nice 'fat' $1,640' from us for the so called auction.... bastards
not lately frances most agents want to take the money and run
owwww wonderful! They are sooo looking forward to hearing from your kids :D dc, that is not cynical, that is common sense. This agency is not very ethical, if they use mrP.
whatever money they can get
I so sympathise with you mrp. I do hope things get better and the house sells very soon.
one of the people who wanted to bid was in the house for 40 minutes before the auction was to start.... she left 2 minutes before auction... I was so angry with the agent for not screening the bidders better
they better not mess with us mr. p we'll babble them until they are beaten to a pulp
shitty business, mrP, if you pardon my french. You deserve better.
On the plus side, it means you get to spend longer in your beautiful house.
the house will sell, and for what we want... this agent is just trying to screw with us. all agents in australia are considered lower than a cockroach I am afraid
shitty indeed sprite. what a frightful fight
tell them about your incredible network. Tell them to perform up or above standard or loose all credibility in Australia and the rest of the world :D
we must talk sprite! I will get my skype set up for you and chat with you on a day that suits you... I can't do it tonight as my computer has been nasty, spank-on-the-bottom mean!!! i am looking for a new puter
thanks sprite, they will make sure they have buyers for the price we want, I am sure!!
we will talk soon then, mrP! And chat up until we are completely with it again ;) For now, I send you warm hugs and my full support, to you and lickety and your kids.
morning everyone :-)
hi katie!
hi katie
morning, katie.
hi katie
I must go help lickety with the house... we have openhouse tomorrow... see you all soon

good luck with the open house tomorrow :-)
So sorry, I mean katie.
Bye and good luck tomorrow!

Night dc :-)
danke, tak, gracias, thanks :) {poof}
*pouts*
Why the pout sprite?
dutch was left out in dc's closing statement ;)
I better go too. This house is not ready for Christmas decorations...you can't decorate clutter! Take care everyone. Have fun with the grid.
Bye Marmar
Marmar... just throw nice white sheets over the clutter, sprinkle some stars and snow and you are done ;)
Marmar, I contest your statement, I'm decorating with clutter everywhere ;-)
As a matter of interest, what is the Dutch?
dank je, or dank je wel
or bedankt
I will remember sprite.
Good for you Katie. I prob. would too but have mother-in-law in house, my German mother-in-law....it has to measure up!
*smiles at Frances*
hmz, poltergeist but no polter...
Fair enough marmar, some things have to be done!! have a good day :-0
You too Katie. Vaarwel Sprite!!! Bye all!
Fijne dag, Marmar... sei wohl. :)

.....another phantom ......etiquette
Hello, peoples
hi babblerabble :)
Hi BabRab
You have a lovely hubby mrp.
yay, BabbleRabble, interesting debate there! I have been stupid, btw, I have forgotten to copy your profile text from yesterday, the one about the cortisol levels. Could I bother you to send me a copy, or to put it in your profile some day again, please?
mrP, lickety is the best ;) And so are you. I hope you have a terrific time making pretty for Xmas!@
I will look now
thank you so much, BabbleRabble. I want to take it to my physiotherapist, she will be so interested.
Aloha Babblers!
hey Fran! *hug*
Hi Fran
hi babrab, sprite, frances, mrp! (anyone else out there?)
oh Saddy, sorry, did not see your post. You're welcome, glad you found it (them) ;)
*sings to Fran: "... could it be that somebody else is looking into my mind..." *
(who knows the song?)
i have no idea sprite!
Peter Straker sprite
Fran: http://tinyurl.com/2rnb7f
one of the most beautiful songs ever, for me anyway.
Alan Parson's Project, actually ;)
In a matter of a moment Lost till the end of time It's the evening of another day And the end of mine Now the starlight which has found me Lost for a million years Tries to linger as it fills my eyes Till it disappears Could it be that somebody else is Looking into my mind Some other place Somewhere Some other time Some other place Somewhere Some other time Like a mirror held before me Large as the sky is wide And the image is reflected Back to the other side Could it be that somebody else is Looking into my mind Some other place Somewhere Some other time Some other place Somewhere Some other time
yup, that is the one, LOL
Lead vocal Peter Straker
oh yes, that is true :) He is the main singer.
ah, i like APP, but I'm not familiar with that song.
i should try youtube
it is one of my all time favorites. All of it, music, lyrics, the images that this song brings up in my mind.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6eIHLq AYV4

Morning Maddison and Fish
she is so looking forward to it, Maddison! I will be sure to tell her hi :)
hi fishbulb! hi maddison!
how is everyone today then? I'm racking my brain for ideas how to celebrate my birthday.
today Fish?
a bit busy, but feeling remarkably good atm, Fish. So... when is your birthday and what would you LIKE to do?
Is it your birthday today Fish? Happy birthday.
my birthday is 17th Dec - am celebrating the wknd before.
Sprite, more than anything else, I like playing Babble and chatting to you guys!! hehe
how about asking your friends and family over, ask everyone to bring a dish and have a lovely buffet?
LOLLLLL Fish.... of course... but you can do that every day of the year.
that's not a bad idea! minimal effort party! I'm gonna be 30 though this year so feel like i should do something!
Well we could all have our dish and drink of choice and have a babble birthday party with Fish.
you can do the drinks and the dessert :)
wow Fish, you'll be over the hill!
Woot!!
yay fish! i loved turning 30, celebrated for a whole month!!
hi babble.
30 is such a great age. Congrats in advance... are you on facebook?
At that rate lynn, I'm over a whole mountain range!
I believe so... let me check...
lynxxx I haven't even started going up the hill yet, I stopped for a picnic near the bottom!
she is sprite, keep meaning to add you to my friends list fish
Lovely to see you all
hi everyone

i'm the one with the squishy bunny as my profile picture!
sprite, i'm sending a letter and some cards.
ohoh maddison! What do you say, guys, is Maddison old enough for the penalty box? ;)
hehe maddison, thought you were telling sprite off then
sprite, if you go to the babblers worldwide group, fish started the "who are you?" discussion topic.
thanks maddison.
yay, got you, lol. That rabbit is a dead giveaway ;)
Skeleton, Tim will love to hear from you!
she is sprite, i bet she can even make some cookies to leave for the rest of us. :-)
Morning
ohhhh yes, I heard you bake great cookies, Maddison!
phantom: pilot
hi bfsog
hello bfsog
morning bfsog
ok hell be happy.
hi bfsog
yikes, i've been doing way too much facebooking and not enough babbling...i still need 98 words!
i mean he'll be happy
thanks sprite
I am certain of that, skeleton. Isn't it cool, having a pen pal at the other side of the world :)
could someone please kick me, next time I try tiptoe?
whats with the qu ?
ooh, kicking is so harsh sprite! how about a pinch?
you could try doing antique instead
argh, yet another phantom, thanks lynxxx :P
urgh lynxxx, that's another one!
starts 4 words, bsfog, and is used in others.
how about parole!
so, i count it as qu and not q
that's right bfsog
the tile is Qu and it is actually counted as 2 letters in the word length, bsfog.
yeah, its qu and not just q so all your q words start QU...
the Qu 'tile' counts as 2 letters though
I could not find the 4th Q word... until I realised there was also an E close by and not only an i.
yay! found that dumb an7 word
the one that prevents you from breathing, Fran?
TY for the reminder Fran
that one sprite!
yw lynxxx
Fish your re your phantom, you could have what he flies and who he works for.
*wipes brow* Glad there isn't another one of those.
I don't know, Frances... I get kinda scared when I am close to those without a pilot near!
lol sprite
Well at least without the pilot near they're not going anywhere.
maddison & skeleton are on!!
but what if they are going, and the pilot is missing???
ooh yeah, thanks Frances.
we've been talking to them mrp. :-)
we know, mrP! We love chatting with them :)
where's,Lickety?
I apologies for anything they do :))
You're welcome Fish
apologise??? you should be proud :) (I know, you are)
hi all
Nothing to apologise for mrp.
hi miss babble
Hi Miss Babble
hi miss
tsk, that al7 is weird too. Both of them are, but the 1st is worst.
TY got both
how many points sprite?
yw :) They ARE weird, aren't they?
both for 28, Fran
i was afraid of that. :-)
both 28. AYes Sprite, easy once you said they were weird
both related to ET, Fran ;)
ooh, those are strange
yup, got them from the points. :-)
Both a bit odd
thanks for pointing them out sprite!
thanks for sharing my amazement :)
yay and got the op7.32 - as I should have being Australian
now I want opossum
ah, my babble day isn't complete without the tape and ring worms. :-)
lol Fran, so true :)
thanks lynxxx! i just had the gem itself. :-)
what makes a word odd? a large number are new or unfamiliar to me ... does that make them odd?
if they are oddbods...
that babrab and they seem awkward also, at least to me. :-)
for me, it is A. seen from myself - if I never saw it before or it elicits strange images, I call it weird. B. checked with native speakers - if they aren't familiar with it, I feel confirmed in my judgement :)
thanks for the op, lynxxx!
oh, found an interesting re. Go to court again. Don't think I have seen that one before on babble.
when i was in my 30s i was a real pa7 (first one)
are you on skype sprite??
thanks sprite!
no, not yet... want me to come now?
yes please :)
lovely, Fran :)
that was the shortest convo ever, mrP LOL
lol, did she get cut off?
no mike, LOL
stupid technical things always let you down at bad times (since there are no good times for it)
that's true
time for me to go, i reversed my stats, i now have 98 found instead of left. :-)
i'll see all you lovely babblers tomorrow!
very good, Fran, lol. Have a great night and a good start on the morrow *hug*
goodnite Franny
bye Fran
is anyone out there?
I'm here but immersed in the grid.:)
just us fishes Phand
Hi Jac
Morning, folks.
good morning! Is this a harder puzzle? I only have 40 words so far
hi Jac and phan. Yes, it is slower for me than yesterday's, but still doable and fun.
I'm quite liking it so far, phan. I've been here about 15 mins and have found 51 words.
hi phandmd and fellow babblers! Have been snored awake, so I thought I'd babble.. I am enjoying this grid, too, Jacula.. fun words to be found.. I like the LOL at the bottom too!
hey Aloy!
ho, sprite!
Hi Aloy
Hi, Aloy.
I found the first 100 very easily, then slowed down rather suddenly.
wow, hi everyone.. early birds? We bought a new outdoor clock yesterday, and when we got home we noticed that the temp dial on it was in degrees Celsius.. yay, now I will learn to relate to that scale!
that is lovely, Aloy :D
sprite - my son's over in The Netherlands at the moment visiting his g/f in Friesland (Leeuwarden).
ooh, just found a three part chemical..
oh wow, Jac, so close! I drove past Leeuwarden last Friday!
He flew out last Friday, sprite and Lin (g/f) met him in 'Dam and they took the train journey to spent the w/end with her parents in Landgraaf (nr. Heerlen) and were then intending to spend until this coming Sunday in Friesland where she lives.
sounds lovely, Jac! I hope they are having a great time.
oh... and to the sin bin with you, Jac :D
Me, too, Sprite. Not heard a word since he texted me the number of his return flight. :) Sinbin? Oops! Hope it was only the 'transport' word I used.
lol, Sprite.. ty for the choo choo
it was, no worries!
Aloy - there's a 4-letter word for what they run on, too. ;)
.... and two extensions too
super, jacula.. (-:
I meant an 'r' word, Aloy, not the 'ells'.
lol, got it, Jac
our volcano is back. Haven't seen that one in a while
I want 'tiptoe' to go with my icon!
Jac, you and me both! Love your icon, btw
Thanks, sprite.
another babblet, ti4, means "to make a vibrating sound".. finally looked it up
any of you have a wireless mouse? This is my first one, and it seems to gulp up batteries.. wondering if that is normal..
nope, mine has an oldfashioned tail
I was told they were a bit bothersome, so I bought a tailed one too
Not me, Aloy. Son has one but he's not here to ask. I've never heard him complain though.
Oh, just realised we have one one the other computer. It's not hooked up to the web though and isn't used that often.
well, i must say that it is a "tuffie".. I have knocked the poor thing onto the floor so many times .. so far, so good.. someone may call the mouse abuse hotline on me tho
yay for tuffies
my favorite houseplants are tuffies, too..
I have a wireless mouse the batteries last for a long time.
my only houseplants are, lol. If not, they are shortlived.
Sorry good morning everyone
hi Rosalind
hi rosalind
Good morning, rosalind.
hi rosalind.. thanks for the info.. h'mm.. does the light on the mouse go off when you are not using it? Mine stays on, which might be the problem.. due, perhaps, to being knocked on the floor a few times..
i want centaur
Mine doesn't have a light/Its a Typhoon and goes with the keyboard
I am with you, Aloy
My son has a wireless keyboard with built in mouse and it eats batteries and asks for more!
interesting.. this one is a battery eating Logitech
I want etiquette as well, and netiquette
Me, too, sprite.
i like that word, netiquette.. manners on line.. is it a real word?
Aloy, yes.
it is, Aloy, nowadays
Is that when we all act prim and proper on the net?
very cool!
LOL, Frances.
kinda, Frances... it is when we go by the rules we made for behaving online ;)
ooh, just found the cowboy friend word
Horse?;)
booze?
saloon girl?
probably a combination of all three?
lol, pa7.32 you guys crack me up
LOL. Howdy p....
see, it is the combination, I knew it
Yup!
sigh, no "entire" either
can I get a clue for the an 7/28 pls
ET's in the grid, if that's any consolation, Aloy.
against breathing?
an7.28 doesn't like breathing
found the cute creature and its relatives too, Jacula.. (-:
choking word
how can you be against breathing!
against the stuff you breathe, actually
we aren't, phan, enable is!
cute animal? (otter isn't here)
i like breathing, personally
not animal, creature. Outtaspacey.
Not an animal, lynxx... ET.
extraterrestrial, lynxxx
oops, hope part of a word won't send me to the sin pen
TY had those
going to court against the invasion of the bodysnatchers, would that be, Aloy?
yup, lol sprite

Good morning from a winter wonderland.
bye, phand..
hiya, Scrabbler! how many feet did you get?
bye phan, hi Scrabbler
I haven't ventured out to get my newspaper yet...BRB.
I am back--we have about 6 inches. I expected us to get a lot more overnight.
is it a fluffy snow or an icy one?
The schools south of me are closed--they got clobbered.
we just have WIND...lots of wind..no snow anywhere....wind wa sin wrong direction
Heavy snow, and it was slippery yesterday. I am geting new tires on Thursday so that will help a lot.
This is an Alberta Clipper--how did you miss it, Carlee?
ooh, difficult to shovel that stuff too..
we had huge wind yesterday- over 50mph gusts
The Q is greyed out--yippee.
i live directly south of the lake...we ONLY get lake effect snow if the wind STRAIGHT out of the north
I see, Carlee.
just slightly out of west....nothing.... we average maybe 10 inches per year...IF that....any more..really unusual
po5 is an appropriate word for my weather today.
ok..i found the pls and thx word....from that and laughed scrabs
So you get wind and cold but not much snow. For us, Lake Erie is a snow-making machine until it freezes over in Jan-Feb.
i love snow
And I got the Miss Manners' word from your clue, Carlee.
We will be XC-skiing soon--we need a good base of snow.
just north of us..and just east of us gets nailed everytime...my son was to play inlondon last nite ( hockey )and it was cancelled due to "weather" ( that NEVER happens ).... and they got nailed
london in canada?
Does he play for a high school team or a travel league?
travel league scrabs... and london willhave after today 60 cm of snow plus blowing
( yes..london ontario....google it bfsog )
and just 100 km ( 60 miles ) to the west NOTHING
oh man i would love a blizzard right now, id have to head home from work!
brb..
I have to get going--need an early start for the drive to work. Enjoy the day everyone. Tonight we have a business mtg so I will check back in here very late tonight to unwind before bed.
enjoy the day scrabs
drive carefully
li 7,28?
hi, morning. Just ice in CT. I shouldn't say "just ice" cause there were lots of accidents. Anyone have the an 7?
'Against what we breathe', bichon.
li2/28 = striped.

thanks aloy
hi bb!
hi bb
{{{ANNIE}}}
but it means "a miscellaneous collection".. yw, g+j
hi bbnaz.. am back too to finish up.. lots on the "to do" list today!
{{{ carlee }}} How is Kevin?
he's a rabid raccoon
well it would be generous to say that I am going to finish up at this visit...still 126 to go.
have you got a case of the phantoms to bb?
well rip away the mad coon's mask! actually wishing you really lots of patience Carlee
I count backwards alot bb....
trust me g&j when I say that if I type "parley" one more time, Johnny Depp will be out of tattoos.....
lwishes for a lots of patience here also
Do you count out loud Carlee?!
thanks all... i need it...
Hello all back for 46
no I count while I bit emy tongue
"Have tea, will babble" - hi all ! - will do a little bit before our monthly breakfast...
hi, ursh!
just to be naughty yourself, try it out loud one time.
morning montreal! love your bicycle.
uh.... no...that would only inflame the situation
.. and hi to montreal also!
back again, coffee interrupted.
tx bb - hi Alloy
I have my beta version downloaded and we are ready to "hit the road" again. Any challenging words to warn me about before we leave?
hi merk, coffee interuptus is serious!
is a person who opts for something not an opter? I know just wishful thinking
hey carlee since you "aided and abetted" my start on the most relaxing mosaic hobby - maybe get a good large "switch off" project going
like I said Carlee, it would be naughty.
When I was on my way to the doctor yesterday to get antibiotics for a bladder infection I scraped the side of a wall in a parking garage and the passenger side of my car is totaled (window gone). thank goodness, my friend who was with me is okay..no car but I feel better
i'd love to ursh...but our home only so big... and with all the extra "equipment" around for him...and all the x mas stuff out...my house feels small...
ouch.. so sorry, Annie.. glad you feel better.
oh damn sorry annie - glad you ok
glad it was not worse annie, cars can be replaced but not people.
{{{ANNIEE}} am so sorry... I had that happen to an old truck... and I was devestated... 2000.00 in repairs later... I was heartbroken
but no one hurt..is the best
ouch is right, so no wheels for a while...I never liked this car and I have it for 7 years...I am not going to fix it..cost more than the car is worth...thank you all for the good thoughts
luckily, you live where pub. transp. is available.. not out in the boonies
yes, aloy...buses and trains for a while
...and you'll end up with a car that you like better !
Hi all
mont, that is a given...
hi peri
morning peri
i think those VW bugs are adorable.. hi, peri!
Hi Annie, glad you are okay, sorry about your car
((((carlee)))) how are you doing?
thanks, peri
some bad things end up turning into good things...is all I was hinting at...
i'm ok peri...{{hugs}} how things with u?
okay at the moment carlee
montreal, that would be the only way I was going to get rid of this car...so, maybe the accident was a step in the direction of a car I would like much more
good good...ok all... I'll be back later while hubby is at physio.... off to sofa for quality liesure me time
leisure * i mean...
'xactly Annie !

Annie saw your post about your accident. what is it with babblers at the moment. I had a car slam into the back of me yesterday. Messed up my car and messed up me. I have whiplash and lower back trauma!
bbnaz, sharper
which is not me at 6am
Sandie, I am so sorry about your car and esp. you...I came out of it okay but my car didnt
It's a real pain when these things happen. It's a nuisance sorting everything out isn't it.
Yes, it is and will be, Sandie..can your car be repaired or is it totaled?
120 to go!
It's in the garage at the moment being assessed. We'll find out this afternoon.
Sandie, good luck, hope it is not too expensive and I hope you feel better
bb, ne 4/4 then adjectival form
Well the other guy's insurance will have to pay as it was totally his fault. I was stationary and he slammed into the back of me.
bb, I meant comparative form
Hope you get your wheels problem sorted asap Annie.
Sandie, It was all my fault, I more than scraped that wall, glad no one was hurt, had a friend with me
YUK! Hope it doesn't cost you too much to sort it out Annie.
e words done
go bb go !!
managed just over half way s am going to get some lunch and hot coffee. Happy hunting everyone.
later G & J

Thanks a lot NoNo.
Cars can be replaced...... people can not
Too right NoNo - but it's still very annoying!!!!

having to deal with repairs and insurance and all that can be a royal pain
Yup! My car is in the garage being assessed at the moment so should find out this afternoon how things are going to be!
finally greyed out the bottom line
hmmmmm i just did that too bb
shh. don't want anyone to know i am peeking over your shoulder!

lol bbnaz i'm afraid i was peeking over your shoulder
at least most of these words seem to be monkey freindly
mornin babblers!
“We were very surprised to find this,†Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University said. “But it’s a very concrete, simple fact. Young chimps are superior to human adults in a memory task.â€
hi EvaN
how is everyone this morning?
morning Eva and BR
Hello, peoples
Hi BR!
morning, all! Annie, are you OK? So sorry you were in an accident yesterday(?)
and sandie!
morning Une
hey nanette :-)
annie, you were in an accident yesterday??
Une, I am fine but my car is not...will eventually replace the car..will be taking public transportation for a while
Ok got 84 left - gonna take a break and have a hot bath for my aches and pains and then come back and try to finish. Happy babbling!!!!
glad you're ok . . .
take care sandie and enjoy the bath
ahh, so we are in the same boat! well, my car does run, but the trunk is less-than-functional...
Evan, an accident of my own making...was on the way to the doctor (bladder infection, ouch) and had an altercation with a wall in a parking garage..I scraped the wall and totaled the passenger side of my car
What is it with cars and babblers at the moment!!!! See ya all later.
does anyone have the TE 5/12 (it's the 2nd T word)?
eww, sorry to hear!
sorry phand i do not
thank you, Une
Une, did you get to decorate your mother's Christmas tree?
I just got it. sorta computer savey and british thank you
thanks phan i was looking over your shoulder lol
yes! Thanks for asking, annie :-) Sunday one of her caregivers and I decorated her tree, front door, mailbox, etc.--LOVE to decorate . . .
te 5 -- add a military rank:*ap**in
she enjoyed watching, and, at her request, last year I found (online) a tape of Fred Waring Xmas music--ohmygod, we listened to both sides at least ten times! :-)
thanks, BR
everything else we tried (TV, CDs) wasn't "real Xmas music" :-)
Fred Waring....a name from the past
how about the last TE 6/18?
phan, is that the te6 that's "like a canvas dwelling"?
yep, annie, with the dementia, she's reverted to Fred Waring, Lawrence Welk, etc.
no, I don't think so; I have one who lives in the canvas dwelling, the number + * your shoes and more canvas dwelling like then there is the one I am missing
Une, soothing, pleasant music
te 6 -- t + more water makes the situation w*****
ah, thanks, br
thnx BR, that is a stupid word
hi all :)
does anyone please please know a recipe for plain cake that even idiots can't mess up?
hi Ata
doh! just noticed the return of the volcano!!
thanks, Une :D
Betty Crocker mix, Ata? ;)
Duncan Hines?
:-D
we can't get that here!!
and now I am done. Anyone want clues before I leave to walk my dog?
the eruption has a concommitant prior
epicurious.com?
Ata - Most major supermarkets here do sell Betty C. mixes. Youhave to buy the frosting separately, though.
I always go to recipezaar.com
How about a plain Madeira cake, Ata?
Hi ladies.
What's the cake emergency, Ata?
I know I can get BC chocolate fudge cake and carrot cake, but I want plain victoria sponge type cake!
Done with the couch, PH? lol
make "real" frosting with powdered sugar--easy and sooo much better
for some masochistic reason I decided I would make a birthday cake for my best friend. Icing I can do, decorating I can do. Cake is a different matter!
Ata - I'll type my recipe out for you (it's foolproof). I'll put it in Babanon, if you want.
so no one needs any clues. Yes Krista I am done with the couh. Need to clean up from our trip to VA beach, since I couldn't do it yesterday, what with being busy for my daughter!
You've been a very busy woman.
you angel, Jac. thank you! My mother keeps trying to give me cake recipes but she just understands baking and I don't!
hi everyone clue for the an 7/28 please xx
Yes, haven't we all though, Krista?
BabAnon or e-mail, Ata? Which would you prefer?
an7 against oxygen
whichcever is easiest for you
al 7/28 uses same root as above words add a common ending
True. I actually got up early to Babble before my crazy day begins. Bundle up when you walk that dog. Brrr
why oh why can't I read right?
Yes, It is quite blustery here. So, Off I go I guess.
you are a left reader?
ok, back for the last few. Why do my days turn to hectic, whatever I try and do to keep them calm?
LOL BabbleRabble!
Okay, Ata. Unfortunately, the recipe's not one I already have on my pc. I need to type it out. Will go and do it now.
BR, that must be it! I never realized that before
Hi Sprite! I missed you on Facebook.
thank you thank you
:D Well, I am seriously back there as well now :)
good morning Sprite
hi Nanette
ugh..have a lip twitch and i haven't even had coffee yet..feel like I"m channeling Elvis
looooooool
lol Krista... you could earn quite a lot of money even just by claiming you do!
hey...**wheels turning**
yay for the tapeworm, Ata!
no, don't think they'd buy it
fireworks at last
good gracious, i am SO out of it today! went to the little postal department in our building to buy stamps + weigh a letter im sending to a friend in australia...then went to the canteen to buy milk, and back to my desk. when i got back to my desk, i didnt have my letter with me -- id left it at the postal department!
congrats sprite
not pleasant, but understandable, EvaN
woohoo congrats Sprite
Yay Sprite! Hi EvaNadine! Sounds like a regular day for me.
thanks JoSo!
congrats sprite
Afternoon all Ata are you there?
at least its all the in same building -- its quite cold + windy here today -- and i even saw some snowflakes!
Hi FM!

ooo? do they? clever tescos!
Morning EvaN and Great news re BF, so pleased for you both.
UH OH....penalty box for EVA
thanks FMitch -- its such a relief to get that news! its the best christmas gift ill get this year. :)
nice tesco mix or tesco value type mix?
I ws bouning in my chair when I read the log. Not tescos value Ata, there were a couple of other makes too.
*bouncing
cooooool! maybe I can get some of that as an emergency measure
That's really a coincidence, FM.
went out to dinner last night to celebrate. :)
and FIREWORKS!!
He got a job or you are engaged....
HAve you got any 7' sponge tins? you will need min 2 and if you want to make bigger, well taller, use 3.
congratulations Nono!
yes ... I think I've got 2 ... maybe
LOL Krista EvaN's BF got a job
wow -- tough grid today
Either news is good. Glad to hear it. :)
i really need to clean the carpet today so i had better get going
happy babbling everyone
Ata you need 2, you can't do it in one big one, won't rise properly or will over cook
hah, yes, not engaged just yet... thought we HAVE Looked at rings. ;) (he wants to know what i like "just in case" he decides to pop the question someday)
Bye NoNo
That's cute, Eva.
ok, I will make sure I have two
you have to bake it today?
i think hed probably propose for christmas if he had the money for a ring...but what with being outta work for the last 2 months, im not expecting anything anytime soon...
oh no, not today. next week
he'll need to get his manly mojo back first, I'm sure..being out of work does something to a guy
yes, definitely -- he handled it all very well, but he was definitely a much prouder guy last night than id seen in a while. :)
You're not a procrastinator, then, Ata. I'd be asking the day I need it.
that's great
(to Eva)
it just means you can tell i'm actually worried about the process :P
yes, its nice to see him "making plans" again...
HAve a practice go this week then
off to check Scrabulous to see how badly Ata is kicking my butt..
scrabulous?
Bye Krista. good luck, she is a formidable player
horribly,i'm sure :)
i am not!
i am not!
Yes, she is. I think I'm winning one by two points or something. Or maybe not by now. >:)
On Facebook, Eva.
could I have a clue for ai6 please?
nm, just got it
can i have a clue for the an7/28 please
after monkeying for so long, as soon as I ask ......

I stand corrected...butt being kicked in all games

ty flosey
closest game we are 7 points apart
yw cool
thats pretty close!
really good clue
worst, 111 points! OUCH
more snow coming down .... will have to shovel out the hammock to get a decent snooze in.
Sounds well matched then
I need the an6 that comes after an7, any clues please?
ah Babrab, we had 7 or 8" snow Sunday, then fairly heavy rain since -
ive got it but its hard to clue same beginning as the one u gave me plus ar end
Not at all, FM, but I consider it a learning experience. Lol!

Good morning Babble Nation!

morning Scarlet
Weeeee, finished all the archive sudoku's. Sorry to mention the S word in Babbleland *grin*
mornin Scarlet!
Morning Scarlet
FMitch -- i try to keep them all completed as well. :)
Good morning to you, Krista, flosey, FMitch, Eva and all!
qu 5 - stop and a vowel
going to crawl back into bed, hopefully get a bit more sleep
morning, all. I am planning a strategy to solve a problem.
Scarlet -- did you hear the updated news?
Until later, flosey!
sleep tight, flosey
may I have a clue for the q 5/16
Good morning, BabbleRabble. No, what news, Eva... dare I think...?
Hi Angel
HE GOT THE JOB!! :D
*Whoosh* (that's letting my breath out!!) That is the most spectacular news of the week, Eva! *Doing the Funky Chicken Dance*
when we signed the contract for this house, before it was even built, I aslked about building the doors wide enough to accomodate my wheelchair, and was told the builder would not do that, but we could have it done once we moved in. Now, I'm told that if we make any modifications to the interior of the house, we will void the structural warranty.
8:47 amBabbleRabble qu 5 - stop and a vowel
Oh no!!
yes, yes, we were all very excited yesterday when we heard the news. :)
That's awful, Angel. (thanks BabbleRabble!!)
krista -- the other QU5 is the kings wife
angel -- thats terrible!
sorry, Babble, I mean the other one...DOH - thanks Eva..too easy
Eva, when does he start? Is he ecstatic? I can tell that you are about out of your skin with happiness. Angel, that is awful... what are you going to do?
so I have to risk falling every time I go into the bathrooms. or I wear myself out several times per day.
so I'm going to contact Advocacy, incorporated, to see what they have to say. If I end up going to court, I'll be interested in hearing what the builder has to say to a judge.
scarlet -- no details yet...they are going to call him again with all of that info. hopefully he will start ASAP. they did say they were impressed with his interview. :)
Time for some carefully considered and worded letter writing I think Angel
did you get what they said about the wheelchair after finishing in writing?
angel -- good idea to contact them. hopefully the builder will stand by their word.
Merry Christmas and a VERY Happy New Year, Eva!! :-)
Did you get anything in writing from the builder?
thanks scarlet! thats exactly what i said too -- this is the best christmas gif ti could have gotten!
I see that Ata asked that question already
they did tell me I can build ramps for safe access to the outside, though. so I can get out unassisted if there is a fire and I'm home alone
but was it put in writing or in front of a third party?
yes, we made documentation of it.
well, if its documented, thers not much they can do or say about it.
then you should not have a problem. you may even be entitled to punitive damages
well then wouldnt it be the builders responsibility to sort it out?
anyone have any of the al5,10's?
I would thnk it would be in the builder's best interests to sort it out. I do not want to deface the property. I'm trying to take excellent care of it and still be safe and have access.
woot now I have the two bottom rows greyed out
bfs - think x files and when you are going to change something
ty naz
and the middle one is a salty solution minus the starting consonant
best of luck Angel. I would think you have a really good case.
Yes, good luck. I'm sure you will prevail, but I'm sorry you have to go through the trouble and stress!
Well put Krista, my thoughts too.
Ata - I've typed 3 of my plain cake recipes out and will e-mail them to you now.
have I ever told you that I love you, Jac?
I'm touched, Ata! :D
Thanks, FM.
If you want frosting recipes, let me know.
Shall I play violin for you two?
Hi all
Eva that is GREAT news
Good morning, peri! :-)
for some reason, I can do frosting. Its just the cake thats problematic!
hullo Jac
Hi Peri!
If you don't bake often, that's the problem, Ata. You need to get a feel for that kind of thing, I think.
one of my friends is turning 21 this week, me and friends are baking her a cake!
ah, I remember 21 :-)
*I don't*
I think so, Krista. I just don't feel when things look right
Ata will help you, bf. :)
I used to burn a lot of cakes!
It's probably more getting a feel for your oven. If they all were the same, you could follow a recipe to the letter.
why not Scarlet?
I am cheered however by the fact that best friend can't cook cakes either. So whatever it looks like, it won't really matter as long as I decorate it prettily!
It will be made with love, regardless.
I have oven from hell. It works at 200C whatever setting you put it on.or it seems like it does
It was an really awful time then, peri... somehow you survive even the worst moments and live, in spite of yourself.
Krista - is your middle name Alfred?:)
Ata - e-mail is sent to your gmail.
oh, ok Scarlet
*hugs to peri*
Alfred?
*giggle at Jacula*
I must go. I only came in here for a coffee break from the ironing! I've got about 6lbs marmalade to make, too.
100 to go
*hugs* right back at you Scarlet
tyty :)
Krista - King Alfred who burnt the cakes...
Later, Jacula!
:-)
15 to go. bbl for it
**checks medieval history books frantically**
TTFN, folks. I'll come back for my last 26 later. I'll also put those recipes in BabAnon later. Toodle pip!
Wow, Krista, was I off the mark.. you mentioned making things with love, and I thought Jacula was referencing Alfred Kinsey...
Have fun, Jac!
Yes, I asked my husband if some English guy named Alfred sang a love song...LOL!
LOL
Or, Alfred E. Neumann... LOL
yes,we really have kings who were only famous for burning cakes LOL
Alfred the Great, Anglo Saxon king, 849-899.
He was a very good king, he just couldn't cook!
Really going now. Byeee.
Interesting story - google it, Scarlet.
At least that's better than a president who will be remembered for taking a perfectly ordinary government and turning it into a stealth anti-human anti-constitutional miasma.
I learn so much on here. Wow.
Okay, Krista... duly noted.
Hear! Hear! Scarlet! Right on!
Amen, Scarlet.I'm right there with ya.
miasma, good babble word, Scarlet
Whoa... Babblers who feel the same about the worst thing to happen to this nation since Vietnam! *Hugs the ladies and whomever* LOL
fireworks for me.
yay for Angelsong
congratulations Angel. those pesky 6 won't let me leave (plus I still have coffee in my cup)
I can never find half the words! lol
how many words are there today?
Wow, are you fast, Angel!! Congratulations and I sincerely hope that you will find an equitable solution to that awful situation.
good morning all. going to dive into the grid. *sploosh*
Hi, redshoes!
Well that would presume that we had a perfectly ordinary government prior to W
167 words in today's puzzle
LOL, bbnaz... right you are!
scarlet, thank you. I'm confident it will be resolved.
And I keep telling myself that we have survived poor administrations in the past and shall do so once again.
thanks, bbnaz.
i am going crazy with the tr words
yay! the dainty crown that I kept wanting to submit yesterday is in today's grid!
I know, red... I thought the same thing... little victories and all... LOL
67 left, bbl
Later, peri-kins! :-)
every bit we can reds can get, right?
Oh, yes, crimson one!!
okay...some help with the an7 please?
Against oxygen?
thank you sweet Scarlet
rockets red glare for me and now off to the barn
:-)
Yahoo for bbnaz!! Enjoy your day!
anybody want a convoluted clue from me before I go?
congrats bbnaz
Sure! I love 'em!
Good morning, pabtrek! :-)
I should get credit for the game TWISTER as my clues resemble them more often than not.
how about just the beginnings of the 8's, i have the ai8
morning Scarlet
al8 - when you "estrange" someone
thanks bbnaz
pab... try ET's beginning...
that was prefectly logical not convoluted at all
for the AL 8
ne8 - think prickly plants only more so
Hi, Esprit...
hya scarlet :-)
pa8 - smaller sum than theirs
I'm zipping in and out between here and Scrabble
thanks again bbnaz, that gave me a 7 too
but I am not addicted
Right, EJ! :p
how long does it take for you to get all the words? in general?? I am new here and from Africa where we are not so clever!! lol!!
keep telling yourself that, Esprit, I do all the time :)
tr8 - when you catch something you set a tr** and if there are many they may be set in a straight **** (obviously a compound word)
Pringle, there are some who do it in blazing time and then there are those of us who may never finish a puzzle.
Good morning, Pringle... it is a race for some, and a leisurely enjoyment for others...
thanks bbnaz, that's all of the 8's
Great minds, bbnaz!! LOL
coolio. see you all later. my horse is whinnying for me.
Later, bb!
Thanks! I am a leisure seeker not a racer! This is fun though!
Pringle, it is an amazing thing for many of us... addiction? Sure... but benign and beneficial!
hi red..i'll be around about 1:30 pm today to work on the grid
*poof*
Hi all back for my next 69. Can anyone clue me the ne621 - after the prickly things plz?
Hi, kattie!! {{{{HUGS}}}} You ARE alive, dear!
Good morning, Sandie... how is your back? Did you get some rest last night? I thought of you many times through the evening~
it's to do with nerves, sandie
Not there yet, Sandie.
Still quite poorly. Just had a long soak in the bath so not too bad. I think the painkillers are making me slightly high!
Good morning, movieman!
hiya scarlet
I am so sorry to hear that, Sandie... painkillers make me nauseous... heat is very good.
I love the clues! very mysterious!!
I cannot make out the ne - one..... there are no s's here
sandie, did you get the ne6?
Pringle, some Babblers are good cluers, and others sort of spell them out...
No S words in today's grid, Pringle.
I did, movie... thank you very much!
Still thinking about it Movieman. Think I've got the first part.
Got it thanks!
yw scarlet n' sandie
:-)
please could i have a clue for the ne6/21
cool, movieman just clued it as having to do with nerves.
movieman could i have an extra clue please
I have reached the almost-bitter-end. Why is the an 7 giving me such a hard time? has the same four letters as before and after, and then????
inge, against oxygen?
ne + russian mountain range
Or, add the more-so ending to the al5/10
think aganst plus we beathe it
thanks Scarlet, that gave me fireworks
and cool girl, thanks
Congratulations, inge! You are welcome!
back again, rest but no sleep
Hello, flosey... why can't you sleep? (By the way, how is your brother doing after surgery?)
i still cant get that ne6 its driving me mad
NE + not me, but yo* + cheerleader word, **H
oh Scarlet, he's doing just great - he's even driving - short runs, for groceries, to church, etc.
ty for asking
Oh, my goodness, flosey... that is nothing short of miraculous... what a recovery
pretty amazing I think, for 77
You're welcome... heart surgery is a little intimidating to me, but he sounds determined... 77! That's even more amazing
and he lives alone - has a suite in a good home
I mean with good people, they'll help if needed
That is a true Christmas gift, flosey...
ty scarlet
Yea for cool girl!
indeed it is Scarlet - he is very very dear to me
HI all, back to finish :-)
We have a small family, flosey and my sisters are so precious to me...
we were only 3 - younger sister also
I have a propostion: Will someone please come and clean my apartment in exchange for Reiki?
oh Peri - if you were only closer
Peri!! Sort of good news... daughter does not have MRSA, but she DOES have a generalized staph infection... (Likewise, flosey... I am the eldest of three women, and now, with Mom gone, I am the matriarch... a high-flown word for keeping their arguments in check! LOL)
Yes, that would be nice, flosey
that is great news, Scarlet
Yes! I wish I could distance-clean your apartment for you, peri!
I am the oldest of three women too, Scarlet, but now we are two, youngest sister died in 200
lol Scarlet - does put a lot on your shoulders
*2000* even
I knooooowwwwwwwwwwww, flosey! LOL
Oh, peri... I cannot imagine losing one of my darlings... I am so sorry.
hmmm, Scarlet you did not accept my offer
thanks Scarlet
I HATE to clean and am procrastinating yet again
I don't mind it, peri... because I love the results!
Peri, I have to admit, I have someone come in to do it twice a month - then we try to keep it in shape
I love the results too but it is getting motivated to do it in the first place that is a problem
This house is really much bigger than we need - except for when the kids visit
wish I could afford someone to come in and clean once a month
By the way, peri... my icon is for today, "current mode of transportation"... and I am making a statement by having Paralittian dinosaur for my "Flintstones" age-related motorcar... *Giggle*
that is a giggle Scarlet
*paralititan*
:-) flosey!
but I have to look that word up
i'll come help you clean Peri. I've helped motivate many friends to clean and organize:)
It was a monster dino, flosey... dug up in Egypt.
Hi, deb!! :-)
I know the cleaning story - we have a beach house we go to every weekend, plus a flat there all to be cleaned and the house in town. you can imagine how hectic it is! And my man is disabled on top of it.
hello everyone!!
How do you manage to get it all done, Pringle?
i'm having trouble with the words from the right column. any clues would be appretiated:)
Hmm!! Blush!! I do not....... I just have to take time out..
google images for Paralititan -- more fun than Godzilla
Thank Goodness the kids are out of the house and I only have 3 dogs and one wheelchaired man underfoot!! lol!!
Isn't he a beast, jwr? I love dinosaurs...
I am not complaining - would not have it any other way!! Love my life! When you get a chance google Pringle Bay and you will see what I mean!
afternoon babblers!
Hi Eva
hey Eva!
Evening here - I should be starting cooking supper!!
Bit lazy now!!
Howdy, Eva... would you lower the megawattage of that smile, just a tad? LOL
thnx Scarlet. That's one of the things I love about this site -- there are new words on the grid ... and new images and ideas in the chat.
Pringle -- you could have you r man hold the leash attached to the largest dog, and tie a broom or mop to the back of his wheelchair...sweeping and mopping done! (not meant to be offensive, all in good humor)
Nice meeting you, Pringle! Hope to see you again!
no can do, scarlet -- im still thrilled!
I just did Pringle - looks absolutely lovely
Lol!! We tried that - problem is that they are Jack Russels!! They still pull him over!! Lol!!! We try everything here!! We are a fun couple though with him being a musician we have lots of fun!
What a story, Pringle... *good thoughts to you and yours*
Oh you looked!! Now google Pringle Hilton and you will see our apartment Hilton Heights we rent out!
jwr... I am right there with you... Babble has opened new vistas... new universes!
Thank you!!! Nice to meet great people on line!! I have many friends throught the internet! Last year in England I stayed with friends of mine from the net! My son lives in London for 3 yrs now!!
Peri, my mom (born 1909) got a maid and we all thought that would save her trouble and make her happy ... but she had to clean the house before the maid came so as not to be embarrassed.
LOL, jwr.
I have tried a maid here too but the man in the chair just runs (hah!!) after her and then gets her to do his work like knocking nails in walls and fixing roofs etc - they do not last long here!
my mom (born 30 years later) did the same thing. ;)
jwr - that is so typical, we don't like anyone to think we're absolute slobs
any clues for pi5 and 6 please?
My beloved is a nest-maker... little piles of his readings, studies, newspapers... coffee cups... and a little stash of flatware wherever he is... just in case he needs it... I love him so... it doesn't matter, but I don't dare disturb the piles, lest I throw out the one thing he wanted to "save"... LOL
deb, if you lived closer I would definitely ask you to help me
ah Scarlet, sounds like home - hubby does a lot of writing and so bits of this and that all over - plus his vegetable seeds
I think Americans may have more trouble than other cultures knowing how to relate to outside help in the home. I got over it after 3 years in the interior villages of South India... I'll take what help I can get. These days, I trade with a neighbor's son the use of washer & dryer for the heavy chores
Hi can anyone clue me the first po5/12 plz?
flosey, use the high numbered tile for pi's
The pi5/18 is having a fit of ***** ... not a happy emotion
sandie - its a white bear
brrrr bear, if that's the first one (don't have the list,sso I'm not sure)
aha - I see it now - ty.
thanks scarlet - got them
:-) flosey!
does a kind soul have the ar 6/18?
clue for tr 8/45 please
last te6/18 please
nm, got it
ai 6/18?
Sorry, bichon... not there yet. For the tr8/45, grace, it is a compound word... animal snarer + walk a straight ****\
peri, like a cute little canvas dwelling...
grace - combo tr4.5 and li -- how the furriers captured their minks
have that one, Scarlet, need the last te6/18 please
thanks scarlet
ar - someone who is more creative would be ar****
hello
Sorry, peri... that was the next to last one... If you were sick, and feeling improved, you'd be b*****
You're welcome, grace. Hi, Harp!
ai the first 6/18? help?
rururocks, it's is ai6,18 outside than inside
ruru, having more oxygen... or said of Paris Hilton's brain
thanks Scarlet
:-) peri!
now off to do some cleaning, will start small, like cleaning off my desk, bbl
Later, peri!
poor Paris... thanks
:-) ruru/.
maybe if I wiggle my nose, my apt will be clean.......nope tried it and it doesn't work :-)
byee
Where's Samantha when you need her?
LOL cya later
I need help with the E from the first column and the I from the last column
got the E
Did you try the money?
And our little Babblet of the volcano-sounding word is back...
could I have a clue where to go on the al 7/28 the second one?
I can't get that last te6, any other clue please?
io6 = io + not dark
The one who is al8/40-ed
thanks Eva! what are you excited about?
See clue at 10:28, flosey
*grin*
oh! teh BF got a call yesterday that he got the job he was hoping for! :D
isn't that the 1st 7/28 scarlet I think I need the second I have that one
thanks Scarlet
The who does it, ruru.
You're welcome, flosey.
congrats to him
Or, moreso of an ET, ruru
thanks deb -- its been a tight coupla months, so its SO nice to know that relief is on the way!
this grid is harder for me than yesterday, feeling frustrated so better print the list.
thanks I tried that before.. must have missed it thank you
Glad you found it, ruru!
Great news Eva
Okay, I must go make some spiced oyster crackers for the beloved... I love easy and this is easy to do... I mix the crackers with Goldfish Pizza flavored ones, add a half a cup of peanuts, mix the spices with canola oil and slow-bake for about 25 minutes, stirring every five minutes. So addictive!
bye red!
Phew! Just finished the re words! They were hard!
anyone have the ai7,28?
What provides the planes for your flights, deb.
ai7 - what we breathe + draw a straight ****
thank you!:)
could I have a clue for ar7 please?
need both of them
an 7/28 lead?
ar 7s - similar words - just the last vowel changes. ar + 3rd vowel + it just gets b****r. The first ends in the first vowel and the second in the second vowel.
Bit of a weird clue but the best I could do!!!
any clues for the first ur7/32?
thanks Sandie - got them both
your clues just fine
I cannot see 4 words starting with u I must be mad! Can someone tell me what you all mean when you write for example an7/28 I would like to know what the 28 means??
Oh good - hard one to clue.
Pringle, thing pee
nm, figured it out
ur7 - Text speak for what the man said to the torch.
In an7/28, it would be: 7-letter word, starts with an, total; value of letter points 28
disregard that semi-colon
how about a clue for that 7 as an example ..lol
Loved that clue Haz!!!!!
ok and you count the value of each letter??
yes you do Pringle
Hello Sandie! Glad you liked it - I'm not really here, I'm whizzing through.
Four letter words are points value alone, five letter words have their points value doubled, six letter tripled and so on.
lol good clue!
got that last ur, thanks Haz! Hi Erda!
Hi deb
thanks for being so helpful!
You're welcome - have to take off again, back later!
aw shucks -- you're welcome
as a practice clue (I'm not very good at it, but I'd like to try) what do you think of a small song in an opera for ar7,28?
great clue jwr
jwr, try solo instead of song, more to the point
NM, that wasn't very good. back to the drawinggrid
right on, jwr -- singular and plural, the plural being the Italian one
jwr--it worked for me, thanks!
thanks phaeton -- oh, gosh, look what we're doing: clue-ing clues!!!
an 7 clue anyone?
AN7 = against the stuff we breathe
an7, guns to shoot planes
Someone who absolutely abhors fresh air could be called that
that is a new one to me... thanks I was losing my mind on that one
yw, jwr...it gets easier the more you play
I have 3 words with Qu but missing one any clues please?
last ce 6/21

to be more ap* to do something
q words = monarch, small phrase, abandon, not qu***

can anyone help me with the tr6/18 plz after what you get in court.
thanks for that one TO!
hi stid and TO
stid!!! How are you Hi TO thats the word!!LOL
There's a couple of online dictionary that disagree.
Hi Ata
shrugs
yes, but we have to work with enable, as flawed or not as it is
hi stid and TO !
I'm well caitlyn, in-between some volunteer stuff at the local school, so eating breakfast and babbling (of course)
u are right Carl but this game uses Enable... with all its faults...
bon jour montreal! did you get hit with all that snow? (it's nieve in spanish, don't know about french though)
neige in french stid...and TES we got hit ! - went shovelling 4 times yesterday and need to go again... and it is still snowing fairlay hard...
YES* even !
Enable?
Enable is the name of the dictionnary used by Babble Carl
*turns pale as neige* that's a lot of neige... LOL
la6,18, please?
we have snowbanks reaching 6 feet already...
I feel cold thinking about snow montreal
bet u don't get much snow in your part of the world Caitlyn ?
need more help shoveling Mont?
*disappearing into the piles of neige...* Well our flooding is finally dissipating, but some of the rivers are only just now coming up to crest. It's bad here in Washington state at the moment.
our favorite BBQ restaurant was washed away...
"hands deb HUGE shovel (again) while grabbing smaller one for myself" hehehe
stid, when did you get your power back?
last night, about ten I think. We had the generator on, and it wasn't until I turned it off at 10:30 that we realized things were back to normal.
last one to finish and I cannot monkey it. Can somebody clue me the tr6/18 plz?
i truely (sp?) would like to help you:)
stid: consider it your christmas present ; )
:-D early presents always welcome!
We dont always have it but when we do the UK cant cope....and we live in an awkard place to get to when it does
tr**d + **gative
sorry sandie, only up to 39 words so far...
at the first hint of snow, the UK goes into meltdown
can i have a clue for the last re 7/28 please , thanx
souds like some places in the US south - when snow falls, they can't cope at all Caitlyn...
did u get it Sandie ?
sandr re7/28 to have a court hearing again
Thanks montreal - that's fireworks for me !!!!
la6,18, please??
YAY sandie!!!!
wtg Sandie !!!!
Congrats Sandie!!
tx for your offer deb :)
there's my kettle... brb
That was a tricky grid today!!!
thanx caitlyn
it sure looks that way Sandie...
debjeb-la6/18--sounds like outdoor toliet without middle consonant
deb extend the 2nd la4/4 with a cons and a vowel
la6/18 - la+ a word that rhymes with a german river.
it doesn't snow in the uk?
tx sandie
thanks guys:)
la6 army loo with one letter missing
not much .... unless you're up north
ooh! I found an 8!!!!
Yes we do have snow TO Scotland has already had some,but we dread it as they close schools,people get sent home from work and the UK stops
Yeah stid!
stid, which 8 did you find?
i have one in5,10 (sounds like to go in) what's the other?
many schools were closed yesterday - doesn't happen very often around our Montreal....
Ok gonna take a break now. Be back later to help with clues.
the other in 5 is similar -- like the in***net, only for within a building
later sandie
bye Sandie !
Bye Sandie
Hmmmm...I''m just visiting Russia w/my hubby...but it seems like they don't close schools here for snow (and I'm not sure there's worse snow around LOL)
If russian schools closed during snow most of the place would have only three months of school...
Is it cold there skh?
don't get it stid
Is it deep,cait?
problem is school buses and road conditions here...
deb: in* + egyptian sun god **
well...tv say -12C...not sure what it is in degrees (american's can never seem to deal w/ metric LOL)
my guess is 12 deg. F
That doesn't work for me, stid. But in5 - short for the partt before the beginning of the book works.
Ohhhhhhh thats cold..handing extra jumper to skh
frickin cold!!!!
thank you! looking the wrong way
-12 is about 10 to US folks
well, 0 is our 32, so about 18-20 degrees
blooming cold anyway
thanks for that one Vi -- hadn't seen it yet!
just thankful for the patience of the Babblers...internet here SUCKS!!!!!
there are TWO of those deb -- change out last vowel
not too great at being a "cluer"
the conversion, phaeton, is not 1 for 1, more like 1.8 to 1
How long are you there for skh?
you'll get better skheiny, we all do (except when we don't...)
lunch time. see you all in a while.

i know, but was just trying to estimate...not that good at that
I leave on Sunday (12/9) Been here for 3 weeks
sorry, got stuck on the wrong key
I am rubbish at finding words today caitlyn! I blame the rain, the wind and the power outage last night...
later Deb - and tx for the help (shovelling) !
But seriously, stid, there is no other acceptable word that is the same as the beginning of a book with a diff last vowel, most particularly not the sun god! If it accepts it for you, that's just no fair!
LOL phaeton! story of my life...
if stid means int + sun god, it won't accept it
Shopping is GREAT! Food (soup) is GREAT! Wind SUCKS!!!!!!
oh! Vi, you're absolutely right... my eyeballs played a trick on me.
BBL with 42 to go - happy babbling all - more shovelling in sight i'm afraid...
my humblest apologies to those I led astray...
i think it was in..the beginning
later montreal! au revoir!
Keep warm montreal..see you later
going shopping...bbl

Bye phaeton
any help for the tr8 available?

tr8/45 - compound word, a wire that, when knocked against, captires an animal
later TO

okay, down to 99, limited time... off to find grid.
Bye stid
Actually, turns out I'm wrong. It's a series of capturing things arranged in a pattern resembling a ruler...
Bye TO
tnx vicula
You're welcome.
weather is rather cold and very windy -- and i even saw some snowflakes this morning!
(Although "Vicula" sounds like an evil Roman ruler. lol)
yes, but your clue worked anyway. I should have got that, beaver tr8's are a mojor part of Canada's history
ai 7 please? assume it has to do with what I breathe...
oops, sorry Vicuna
ai7 - company that flies commercial planes
Its to be against what you breathe stid
*FISHBOP* oh man, oh man, oh man...
thanks vi can caitlyn
np, joso!
Forget that i just clued an7 ..I think i ought to shut up!!
thanks though caitlyn, really -- I needed that one, too!
I was hoping that "tantral" would mean prone to tantrums.

LOL Vi -- like me these days?
I have that, thanks, Ata! =)

later helen!
later helen
Blink and you miss stuff ;-)
doing all right carllee, my ad for Animal Reiki came out on Dec with a major spelling error, they had heath instead of health
too much water stid and too many spices
best lentil soups out there are middle eastern ones....
in "my account" on the left hand side there is a small pic of your icon, under it is a word "edit" that links you to the page to change it.
I hope they'll redo the ad for free peri...
ah...so you are throwing in free chocolate bars with treatment eh peri ?
Dec 1 re the ad for Animal Reiki, e-mailed the person who placed the ad but no response as yet
asked them to stid but have not heard from them yet
ah, yes. lentil soup needs to be thick and not too piquant.
thx stid..will chk
sure carlee why not, free chocolate bars
stupid lentil soup recipe!!
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Lentil-So up/Detail.aspx this one looks good peri
thanks so much carlee, will check it out

thanks carlee will check it out
going to check the lentil recipe carlee posted
living room rung still needs vacuuming and my cat Zoe-Anne is of no help at all :-)
*rug* even
I just got back from the grocery where I was the only woman wearing a Xmas sweatshirt and jingle bell earrings! Harumph! :-D
cats rarely are on the housework front..foot warming...great though
shocking...
isnt it all a bit early for xmas?
une is that for ne?
if zoe anne is anything like my bailey he just looks up as if to say how day you interupt my snooze with that noisy contraption
got the ne. thank you
the ne8 is "more like a prickly weed"
not over here rolin...xmas starts here day after hallowe'en
yes g&j she does that or runs aways and hides
same here, carlee! LOL
i went grocery shopping the other day and the musak system was skipping and it played the intro to jingle bells over and over and over. i heard a woman from a few aisles over yelling that she was gonna jingle somebody's balls if they didn't turn it off lol
shaking head*... its a bit like that here too...i think its crazy
lol...im with her bonkler
I'm with you, rolin. Three weeks still to go, that's ages.
bonkler, that's great!! LOL
about two yrs ago or so in northern va they started playing xmas music selling it and had decorations up before Halloween
i just get sick of all the hype..the musak..the ads..
ok...now THAT funny bonkler... I haven't STARTED xmas shopping...and I am not planning on starting...I told everyone get me NOTHING.....
well we just dont do xmas..its simple
carlee does that ever work?lol
everyone just gets to angry rude and pushy in the shops this time of year. I hate it. Gary won't go shopping unless he has a big roll of wrapping paper under his arm to fight off the hoards
i've grabbed a couple sticking stuffers..and that is IT....
I've decorated my house and my mom's house, wrapped all my gifts, and started cooking and freezing food for my Xmas open house next week!
last year I got 2 - 1.00 boxes of incense... the year before a pizza cutter..and that was IT
stocking stuffers I mean
yeah i don't do xmas. i find it dismal. i do as little as possible to have anything to do with the whole thing.
my ouse is decorated...the store is decorated... and that is ALL i am doing besides cookign the meal
I got a kitchen aid food mixer from gary this year, and yes I have it and using it already
I just ignore the tacky hype and enjoy the warm fuzziness of it all!
anyone have the or5,12?
there is not WARM FUZZINESS anything regarding xmas...period... its just a load of... of... crap
my rub is... i hate being told i have to buy presents because of a calendar date... my partners mum was here over the w/end and she was in a flap trying to get me to think pof something i needed just cos the calendar says so
I will do a traditional cake and pudding. Shop for the kids and parents and then decorate house. Love the baking side
28 left
Annie you still here
impressive, peri!
Can anybody hellp with the other two U words same pt values as the other two?
i buy things that is see ..when i see them..and give at any time of year cos its an 'i love you' present..
I have the second 2 does that help?
nice idea rolin
i am expected to put on the dinner... I am expected to do the decorating..I am expected to do it all with a smile and I am expected to clean it all up... and I am expected to put up with the annoying in laws that I hate all for the sake of a fake "peace"... it has completely ruined the holiday...
bbs
gary i have the two that are similar
that is exactly what I do rolin
Best ones rolin.
*shrug*..it just seems more sincere...meaningful
it is rolin... christmas in my eyes can... well... I won't say it..its not polite,,,but am sure the brits here know the term well...
I love having a bunch of folks over for a buffet dinner each year--lots of chatting and laughing and decorations and candles . . .
Hi everyone - in our house Christmas starts after my husband's birthday on 11th, our anniversary on 12th and our daughter's birthday on 17th - hows that for bad planning!!
Gosh, I wish I lived where I could help all of you with the shopping, etc. I just LOVE it.
it's the only time of the year that I get to see some of them
i bought a dvd for my boyfriend for christmas. but when he brought up the subject of the dvd last night, i gave it to him then
carlee all H*** would break lose in our house if I would exected to do all that. We all do things on the big day. And Gary always cleans up the kitchen after i cook
anee
im an internet shopping wiz :)
JFB, my bday's the 29th, my daughter's Jan. 12, her boyfriend's is Jan. 10
me too eva!
Me too EvaNadine - I hate shopping!!
une my eldest boy is on the 28th so close to christmas
chiley, I would LOVE for someone to give me a list and let me shop for them1
pl 5/12 pls?
or5,12?
its not my house that expects it the "in laws" that expect... and even tho hubby agrees its a bloody pain... its just easier to shut up and move on... rather then make a big stink....and instead of "dealing" with the inlaws..I hide in my kitchen and don't speak to any of them
GaryandJulie, my dad's was Dec. 26--he pretty much never got a gift that wasn't marked "Merry Xmas AND Happy Birthday" LOL
Me too.. I just came from the mall...I didn't encounter any rude people. Everyone just seemed to be enjoying themselves.
he has to sit there and entertain them
( i'm dec 15 and hubby is 24th )
chiley smart idea go shopping during the week in the daytime
shopping online's a blast too!
i don't begrudge anyone their appropriated pagan festivities but i get to resent them trying to drag me into it. constant monotonous carols everywhere, stressed out maniacs shoving and acting like swine in public. finally my friends have mostly accepted that i'm not going to take part. but it took years of feeling like i was hurting their feeling when i refused their invitations.
Oh, kattie... just speak your mind, why don't you? LOL... *sore ribs from laughing...not AT you... WITH you*
I was there this weekend too. No problems.
What is about March that everyone made all these yuletide babies!
drives me mad une, paul ends up with so many people fobbing him off with one gift or card. We make sure he gets a proper birthday with birthday decs and cake and gifts
i was at the mall last night to pick up a few things -- i believe my christmas shopping is completely finished (though chris + i MIGHT paint a few more pottery pieces) so now all i have left is my brothers bday gift -- his bday is the 17th
dunno! LOL
chiley you were lucky lol
I am so glad to see that I am not the only Grinch here... it just doesn't grab me, never has, and never will. Mom's birthday was Christmas Eve, and she and my sisters were "Elfie Maniacs" Bah! Humbug!
peri, I just got back, went for recipes...did you send some vibes over here?
i figured u'd appreciate it red... its all just a rats nest of horse turds... mind the leftovers are pretty damn good and they are all MINE :p
pl 5/12 please
ok carlee...bonkler...i nominate us as the presiding members of the newly formed 'bah humbug club'...lol
goodmorning all
a tool mlfan
it's the spirit that counts . . . my daughter's gifts to everyone are baked goods and her boyfriend designs a T-shirt that he gives everyone each year
all in favour say aye
aye arrrgggghhh
Well, dear kat... you DO have a turn of phrase!! LOL
aaaye
how lovely, we don't go for big and flashy here just thoughtful and loving.
people here get pictures. when I have time.
We've always tried to make our daughters b'day special and een tho she's 30 this year we never put decorations up until after that and count me in on the 'bah humbug club'
i've been storing them up red...
excellent...i feel a new facebook group forming..lol
ar7,28 please
i hope hubby and i put a pic of the house in our cards this year didnt get the kind of cards you can see the photo before opening the card
Scarlet, I STILL get chills remembering my mom shushing everyone on Xmas Eve to listen to the reindeer on the roof!
ooof..facebook... I haven't gone there in days... I HATE to think of allthe little notifications setting there...
jfb my hubby said bah humbug tht much tht when my youngest was just over a year old everytime someone mentioned christmas this little voice piped up bah humbug lol
thinking travelling bubba
or5,12?
lol g&j
Well, I guess I'll head up the Anti-Grinch/Scrooge group! LOL
don't have it, deb
deb i need pl 5/12 lol
I had fun with christmas with my kids...when they believed in santa... go them their "magic santa pajamas" left by the elves on christmas eve.... and we didn' thave a fire place so I got this really cool key engraved with family name that was "santa's magic" key to get in the house
Oy, Une... I have never been able to win this one... I prefer to just celebrate daughter's birthday on Dec. 18... she'll be 26 this year... and meditate on the fantasy of Peace on Earth... and practice Good Will Toward All.
carlee, how cool!!
or5.12 or + a type of bunny with floppy ears - a *** eared rabbit

I know sh eis on my dresser as I keep my dance stuff "arranged" I I hear the "bells" from my hip scarves tinkling in the middle of night
Penguin loves the little fur-covered mousies from the pet store... and any straw in a drink gets swiped immediately and batted under the refrigerator... as well as hairbrushes...
LOL... what smarties they are, kat!\
yeap..and qtips ( oh..try feather boas too... tells loves all of the above and feather boas... I cut into 15 inch lengths..and she carries them from room to room )
did i see an ai 4/4?
And little aluminum balls, twisties from bread wrappers....

Yes, MLF... oxygen + a type of undershirt
What kind of animal are you two discussing here?
oxygen + cross cons.
like your clue better scarlet...
A kitten... A Norwegian Forest Cat, Uni
norwegian forest cat..
t.Rex i think Uni...
I was hoping so..I'll have to look that one up

they are a very fun breed to have if you are into cats
Wow! They look beautiful...I LOVE cats, they are my favorite animal
LOLOLOLOL... Luc...you ain't right in the head!!
ty scarlet
i don't disagree with you scarlet...
i have one that is all black/ dark brown....no striping..and I have another that is a caramel tabby
Yes, deb... my daughter has a new baby and I call her my "grandkittie"
Wiki is comparing them to maine coons...we had a mixed breed one. HE was the gentlest, most beautiful cat...
scarlet's daughter has one that is black with white bib and sox?
Yep
maine coon evolved from the weggie
and we all know where the weggie came from...
they get to be HUGE cats tho..my kiki is about 15 pounds and NOT fat...she can put frnt paws and nose up to dining room table without trying
can someone give me a clue on the 8 letter words? I have 3 and not found more

:-)
hello all! deb -- lunch over, time to babble? LOL
thanks - I have not got PA8 NE8 if I could get hints on these I would appreciate it!
Hey, stid!
ar7,28 please
thx, scarlet
I have invited my mom to do this game too, I hope she does come on line
PA 8 is the most meager
pa8 as in pts or letters?
The NE 8 is more prickly
pa 8/45
pa 8 means "most meager"
MLF... eight letter word, and the values change according to the values of the tiles in that word.
ar7,28 - owns planes and jets
thx got pa8
thanks for the the NE8!
go pringle go!
Yea!!

Or, little showcase musical piece for a diva to belt out...
A soprano's solo piece in grand opera... and make it like a small kitchen
THAT one I got! LOL thanks!
Then change the last vowel for the other 7//28
both of them now... {{{scarlet}}} thanks for being patient
Glad you found them, stid!
any football fans in the house?
AN 6/18? after the one that is against oxygen?
not me, EvaN... why?
You betcha, Eva... live, eat and breathe it... What's up?
Thanks Scarlet
You're welcome, bubba!
Not there, yet, stid.
just heard a rumor that Tom Brady was in the National Building Museum this afternoon -- thats across the street from where i work...
stid, take out the last vowel of the against O2
thanks bubba.
help with the ta's, please
where do these words come from????
That sounds like a rumor, Eva... after the near-tumbling of the perfect season last night against Baltimore, I doubt if he's doing any tours...
last CE 6 please?
But... ya never know!!
the second TA is like vedic sex... I don't have the first
not much to tour in there -- they usually use it for events, if anything...it sure is a gorgeous place for a reception! but nonetheless, i find it an interesting rumor. :)
But, ya never know!!
I envision Bill Bellichek having them in legirons... watching game film over and over and over...
don't get it stid
ce6, sounds like ce + the chemical ending, like oc***,, bu****
even though they technically won last night, i consider the Ravens the real winners...how close they came!
thanks again bubba!
okay deb: ta* (sun exposure color) + *** la la (song refrain)
thanks stid
did that work? any ideas on the first TA 6?
i dont know the word vedic
vedic refers to the hindu holy books, the vedas
EN 6 please?
oh, still haven't got the first ta
Eva, I was gape-jawed at how the Eagles nearly did them in last week, too! They ARE human, after all!
monkeyed the OR 5... LOL down to 9
oh, and the EN 6... five left
THREE... two are RE words though
Eva, I could not believe last night's game... Three fourth downs... and then, three penalties adding up to 35 yards on the kickoff!? The Ravens demonstrated a loss of discipline that might have really sealed their record-breaking win!
ONE... the first TA

ur7 - when you pee, you do this
thanks lynxxx. those shipworms get me every time!!!!
FIREWORDS!!!!
Congrats Stid!
woohoo, stid!!
YAYAYAY!
*takes a modest bow* thank you all!
what a bizarre video...
**claps appropriately**
funny -- hope my kid doesn't decide to learn how to do this!
I need a clue for the ru7/32 after complete destruction, and the one who does it. Please?
yeah! I can tell I'll never get fireworks on this one.
hey Uneaixoise! was there any neige down your way? montreal says the drifts are already above 6 feet!
Not I, Scarlet. I am only up to the TEs
hi cornstalks! I am here to help...
ru4 + past tense dine (sounds like 8)
ru7 same start and past tense of consumed
Just dropped in for a sec, PM breaktime.
go Uniquity go!
Looks like a tough grid.
Thanks, anyway, Uni... I never go according to the alphabet.. I just jump around and land on a word...
it's not an easy grid cornstalks, the list really helped today
amen to that Stid
Thanks, lynxxx and stid!!
lynxxx, have you seen groovykiwi lately? thought maybe since you're in the same time zone... LOL was just thinking about her yesterday and realized I hadn't seen her in a while
Stid..she was back on the other day, had been studing for the QA exam she just took
oh good. I hope that went well for her. thanks. ;-)
what does it mean on the US phone networks when I dial and it says "our circuits are busy now please try later"
she won't find out till Jan/Feb Stid, so fingers crossed (sure she won't need it though)
Speaking of missing Babblers, has anyone seen Wolfie since the beginning of the Spring? She lives in Apex, North CArolina and went to Europe... and disappeared. I miss her.
it means that there are too many people talking atalante...
or6,18 please
Just an overload on the telephone system, Ata.
not me Scarlet
there have been really bad storms from coast to coast and a lot of people are calling to folks know they're okay
Bubba - the Or6 Express
oh ok. I'm trying to get through to best friend. She's had no power up in Astoria for 2 days
ata, it happens a lot on holidays, but i'd blame the storms
or 6/18: opposite of occident....
I haven't seen her in ages scarlet
Thanks, Stid, that is a fish, or should I say Sushi
Thank you all.
we had storms here and the most popular holiday resort the beach is no longer there no parking no caravan park gone!!! floods and not too far from us in Cape Town
Atalante, Our area was hit really hard, but I haven't heard of anything really bad in Astoria. She would have seen high winds, and a lot of rain, but as far as I know all the bridges and roads in that area are good.
whereabouts is that, Pringle?
they had it pretty bad I think. Their new fence was uprooted and flung across the lawn. They've had no power since Sunday lunchtime
clues please for the na6/7 combo?
na6 - talk a lot . na7 more smartly dressed
Flask, the first one is to talk on and on..
ouch! yep, high winds'l do that. pushed a tree over across the power line on our street yesterday
The last one, is NA7/28... a spiffier looking gentleman
ap6,21 please
ap + not dark
ap 6/21: ap + that diet word again... L4
thanks lynxxx...and scarlet!!!
Thanks, fireworks
Yea!!
congrats Bubba!
Congratulations to bubba!!
Congratulations to bubba!!
and they only have cordless phones, so they can't recharge the units without any power!
Congrat Bubba!!
Cordless phones don't work at all without power - a downfall that everyone forgets about!
they don't have a generator? I turned ours on as soon as I gothome yesterday...
YAY bubba!
I *know*
nope, no generator
{{{atalante}}} I am sure they are fine.
And, another thing I learned, Uniquity... one cannot change the channels on a televison with a telephone, and it's hard to dial a number on a remote!
Hope they have a woodstove or lots of blankets
lol Scarlet - bad day?
Scarlet, you are an absolute font of informtation! :) I took the phone in the car once for some reason
loaaaads of blanket, and a gas stove
atalante "Meanwhile, because of the lack of phone service, 42 members of the Sunset Empire Amateur Radio Operators Club are helping with communications." from oregonlive.com
They are both black, and my beloved will try to answer the remote every time!! LOL, Uni... I am so glad that we are not alone in this!
sounds like phones are just generally out in that area anyway...
ohhh .... I'm sure they are fine, I just want *know*! Yeah ... no phone, no power. bet she's living on POt noodles
Scarlet - been there, done that...
LOL, lynxxx and Uni...
rofl... as do we all in times like this! (and chocolate...)
Ata - doesn't matter if you're sure, you always want to hear it from that person. Mum calls every bfamily member after storms, and I have inherited that trait. i understnad!
I feel so good knowing you and LoriP... she made me feel SO much better when I found out that I was not the only person in the world who washed the TV remote when I stripped the linens from the bed, and the gadget was caught up in them.
the storm was bad timing - she was just starting to make 5 lbs of fudge, but didn't get the chance to finish before the power poofed
Well...they can eat a lot of not cooked fudge if power is out for long!
hm. well, it wouldn't be fudge, but it would be edible... *calculating calories for 5 lbs of fudge*
ne7 anyone?
Lori and I have washed the strangest things...our remotes are TOUGH. as well as cell phones, which end up in coffee and puddles occasionally
definitely edible at least
NE7 is more of the fisherman's helper\
ne7 more like the stinging ne****
thank you scarlet
I thought that was the 8, lynxxx.
Glad you found it, Robo!
G'd afternoon babblers!
{{{LORI}}}} So glad to see you!
opps - sorry
#1, are you telling them about the cell phone falling in the coffee?
Hi Lori!
In an off-hand way, absolutely!
*Kicking pebbles* No, she wasn't Lori.
shhh, quiet
Uh-Oh. Our stories don't match up **shuffles away, whistling**
Scarlet! I have missed you so. I've missed everybody here at babble
hello everyone
Hi all
the first and third en 5's please
back to find my last 11 words
Hi Becca and Peri!
Likewise... I missed you last week when the Bears stopped my heart, and the Eagles almost ate the Patriots alive... and then the Bears lost and the Patriots almost got eaten by the Ravens last night... *Gasping for air*
***I smell a conspiracy*** I also left the cell pjone on the windshield of the van, forgot about it, and it rained over night. Found it the next day. Let that dry, and it worked too!
G'd afternoon peri, Becca
en5 en + *** Maria (drink)
Hi, bichon, wb, peri and hi, Becca!
hi uni, lori
Those were some games huh? Brady showed why he's 4th quarter Brady though.... :)
en5 en + consumed
anyine have the ai 7/8 combo?
Good grief, Lor... it was almost too much to take...
The entity that supplies the planes and the proper name of a company that does, Becca
Come to think of it, that was the toughest cell phone on earth. I soaked it more times than I'll admit, and it worked A-1 for 8 years before ir died
ai7 Qantas is one
okay, there's my first words! :-)
Was it a Nokia, by any chance Lori?
thank you!
You know it Scarlet. That thing was tough
I thought so... you can't kill 'em!
i've never had a problem with a nokia - every other phone i've had has had to be repaired
Right, Becca... the Finns know how to build a phone...
wow, I have fireworks
My LG is in good shape...but pretty young
yup, they sure do Scarlet!
No other phone to consider, IMO
Congrats Peri !!
YAY periwinkle! **celebratory dance**
Congrats peri!
Yay Peri!!!!
woohoo, peri!
Yahoo for peri!! Well done!
thanks
***How about an interpretive dance?***
must go, bye everyone!
thank you all, going to see what Oprah has today, I think it is the author of Eat, Pray, Love, but not sure
see you all later
Enjoy your day Lynxxx!
bye lynxxx
Take care lynx! See ya leter!
(and Peri)
bye peri
wait, where is carlee, I want pompoms!
Later peri. Have a good one.
She is gone to hospital with hubby, I believe
just made some curried hummus, will let you know how it tastes
*** dons protective padding, in case carlee's here***
ok then
Carlee had to go fetch her hubbie... I'll fill in *Yea for peri** *Twirling fancy pom-poms*
byeee
does anyone have the 3rd en 5?
**flips and then juggles fire-sticks**
'Bye, peri*
Lori, she did give an honorary spitball to Uni in your name....
nice show uni!
carlee's sneaky that way. I got a water balloon with her name on it!
I've got the spitball saved in a case... Thanks Becca, I'm here every day of the week, 8am to midnight :) Remember to tip your waitress...
***Reminds Uni the firesticks are s'posed to be lit***
Uni... we just can't match the nutzo one's finesse and panache... *hangs head in defeat*
9 more...
lol uni!
go robo....
Go Robo go!
But my mum said not to play with fire anymore! **very confused about what to do**
LOL... Uni..
LOL... Uni..
sorry all, I drifted off, answering emails.
YAY peri!!!!
hi stid
***some people's kids***
*Shove 'em under the couch, quick! Uni*
Stid, you missed quite the show. Scarlet is an A1 performer!
stid!!! Great to see ya'! :-)
excellent! (not surprised)
hi Lori! how's you?
And Uni's firestick debacle goes without mentioning?
great, I hope life's treatin' ya' well stid.
can't complain much, Lori! LOL
Uni -firestick? sounds like a dangerous combo...
You should see her juggling powersaws routine.
As well as the pot on the head thundershower dance...
Uniquity's pseudo-honorarium to carleekat being away...
LMAO #1 had special talents at a very young age..... :)
oh oh -- there's a lot of wind suddenly. I am going to go get the laundry in the dryer... and hope the power stays on! back in a few
MY daughter, *ahem* could put three jelly beans up each nostril. So there!!
See ya' later stid, I'm off soon, so it was great to bump in to ya!
**applauds appropriately**
3? I'm impressed. #1 can't hold a firestick to that!
I shall pass that along to daughter, Uni! :-)
LOL... Lori... I have missed you so much! :-)
I don't believe I put things in my nose...instead I nearly electrocuted myself. Twice.
Nice. That trumps the jelly bean trick. May I ask how, Uni?
yah, tell her Uni..........
I guess when I was between 2 and 4 I shoved Mum's wedding ring in an electric outlet...then when i was 7-9 I danced in a lightning storm with a pot on my head. Well, I tried too. Mum said no :(
*Waiting* *expecting the TRUTH*
It's a true story by the way. Go ahead, tell her..... :)
Lordy a - mercy... Uni... you were a handful... would you please tell me WHY the pot on the head?
I didn't want to get wet
Okay then... but FRIED never occured to you? LOL
it was my engagement ring, and it still has the prong marks, and seared black. She was all of 2
help with tr6/18?
Nope...I was always a "head in the clouds" kind of person...Hasn't improved much!
oh Uni, I think we were rather alike as kids
I like to look at the ring occasionally, I believe I deserve to have it as a trophy!
Naturally, being a spawn of mine, a big aluminum pot in a dying down thunderstorm is the first umbrella of choice.
Atlante! Hi. :-)
Wowza! TR6/18 is first three letters to denote three + each play as SC***s in each act.
tr6 - word meaning three + jim carey flick: me, myself and ir***
Sorry Robo, my only 2 words so far are the ai's I stole from chat.
hello Babblers! I'm stuck on the ap 6,21... any help?
I remember going through a period of tying cotton round my fingers all night just to see what would happen if blood flow stopped to the extremities
okay, now I have 3 words!
AP + not heavy, but spelled badly
LOL Ata...How'd that work for you?
Oh, you experimented with purple fingers too, Ata!
Unfortunately, i have to skedaddle. Was a pleasure to see you all again!
thanx, Scarlet
ap + term for gross diet food (or alternate spelling for lamb bulbs)
hi all - back with 18 words to go...
well I think I would have been more interested if mother hadn't interfered every time I tried. Apparently I nearly ended up in hospital once though cos they couldnt get the blood flow started again lol
Those crazy little lambs never work in MY sockets...
hi mont
Stay away from electrical outlets #1. Y'all take care, see ya' later!
'Bye, Lori!!
bye lori
Hey, Luc!!
hi Becca ! - found names for those triplets yet ?
Ata, mothers always interfere, don't they? I s'pose I appreciate being alive though...Enjoy yourseld Lori
tr6/18 is my last word, and i just can't seem to find it
bye Lori !
no mont -still thinking!!
lol becca...
Triplets? Really?
and I did the storm thing too. Except I took a big metal spade out into the field and waved it around. To see what really happened if lightning hit you *facepalm*
TR + first person singular + number after nine, minus last letter + second vowel
had more twin dreams though - starting to seriously worry about those!
TR + first person singular + number after nine, minus last letter + second vowel
tr6/18 tr**d + **gative
No uni - it was a rumour started by someone last week - I am expecting but we don't know how many yet. Hopefully just one!
Number after nine, minus FIRST letter DOH
thank you!
That was so much nicer, Luc!
Ata - I was mostly just very...dumb. Spent my whole life with my nose in a book (and the accidents I have incurred because of THAT are too many to count). I'm kinda spacey sometimes
thx scarlet !
Becca - Congratulations then! I'm going to suggest to you that you avoid any number higher than 2. :)
same here, Uni. Books books books
I'll do my best uni!!
back
I fell over once becuase i spent so long reading that my legs went dead!
Ran into a car while reading once...i still read when I walk which hurts when I run into stairs, etc LOL becca
same here ...books..books...books...but NO accidents...hehe
lol me too. books while walking, books while queueing, books books books
Becca -- one is plenty, think positive thoughts...
LOL books? my mother would call me to dinner. standing in front of me, and I wouldn't hear her!
wb stud
I shall concentrate on uniquity's name!
stid that is !
LOL yep, no studs here -- just me and a couple raggedy dogs
I tried to read during dinner. THAT got me in trouble until I learned how to be sneaky
lol stid...
I refused to eat till I was allowed a book while eating
Books, books, books... bathing, walking, doing dishes... during homework...
I ate fast so I could get back to my books... now I eat while I b abble and growl at anyone who tries to get me to stop.
I dissolved more books in bathwater than I care to count
I still read constantly - i think i'm addicted.
lol stid!
I think every Babbler is a reader... it's why we love these whacko words in here...
hi guys..you on via generator, Stid?
you got it on the nose scarlet !
I have had some "dropsies" in the bathwater, too, stid!
Yep, Luc! :-)
True...I eat breakfast and read while babbling, lol. Then I come back all day long, even after I finish
Speaking of books, I bought a Nelson Mandella biography...and its HUGE!!!
But am gonna wait til' after xmas to get into it!
I have worked out ways to keep books open when doing other things... the spring-loaded clamps or good clothespins are excellent to keeping the pages from flipping!
down to the "dreaded 14"...
ooh, i'll have to remeber that scarlet
Uni...am like you...I pop in and out all day long...lol
What a life he has had, Flask! It works, too, Becca!
Scarlet am goin' the right way...am down to 90.....lol
brb I need fooooood
time for me to go - bed is calling. This baby is draining me of all energy. Bye everyone
Stid disappeared
It's better than 167, Flask!! :-) Remember: half full, not half empty!!
Yes...can't wait to get into it!
sorry, I faded out again... trying to get through email again
Until another day, Becca. Be well.
power came back on sometime between 9 and 10:30 last night.
sweet dreams becca!
bye becca !
bye becca!
go montreal go!
hi krista :-)
Oh, glad you don't have to mess with the generator still. It is freaking cold and windy here today. Almost unbearable (but I hate wind).
ok...diving back in...*SPLASH*!!!!!
hi Krista and tx stid !
"wiping myself dry after flask's dive"...
*Please toss the towel over here, Luc*
we still have wind, but not much rain in the last 20 hours. hoping it stays that way...
A perfect 10 for Flask!
10!!
I don't like wind either. Too many tall trees to fall over.
Hi Montreal...shouldn't complain about cold with a Canadian in the room, should I?
"tossing towel towards scarlet"
nope. a GOOD diver doesn't splash like that. the entry was sloppy. 9.6
More than one Canadian...
Yes, my daughter got up at 1:30 and was afraid the pines in the front yard were going to come down because they were almost horizontal in the wind.
I t was our fault, stid... we were too close to the edge of the olympic pool...
hey how many words today?
I felt no splash! :) I was in the nosebleeds though...
Opps! Sorry and hi, Uni!
well Krista, today is positively balmy at minus 6 C ...compared to yesterday's and sunday's minus 13 C ...
167
oooh. very harsh wind indeed!
thanks
YW, lucen!
true, perhaps I ought to pull my toes back out of the water... *revising score* 9.8
tirl
oops. other box, lucend!
oops lol
9 left...
Hey Montreal....did I wet you????...lol
23
please say yes.....lol
go montreal go!
we're 34 (F), but the wind chill has to be MUCH lower **puts nose to gridstone**
go scarlet!
back!
rofl... I LOVE it! "gridstone" a new babblism appears! *files next to firewords*
you did flask but now towelled off am ok ! phhhewww
And "cognacs"
Montreal, are you sure you didn't just walk outside into the snow/hail/horrible weather and mistake it for her dive?
Hee heee...that just came out..I like it, too (I may say so).
so atalante, was thinking over about the phone thing. Our wireless house phones came with a base unit that has a "tether" handset... we can always call out/revceive when the lines are intact.
no Uni... was wet brfore from a long shovelling session and had time to dry off... before Flask dove in...
How was food Ata?
I meant IF I may say so
I've been trying to rack my brains to think whether theirs has or not. I *think* it has
well ... I was going to make some pasta with prawns. But then decided to just eat the prawns by themselves lol
mmmm. prawns! :-D *pulling on jet pack to go fetch dinner*
my favorite, Ata...mm mm good
Expediency always wins
I'm like Bubba on Forrest Gump...like 'em cooked any way.
must make tea...brb with 6 to go...
i could eat just prawns by themselves any which way
LOL... Krista... gumbo, fried, boiled....
Come back Luc!
Ditto, Ata!
well, I need to figure out a way to back up the files on our "server" -- it's making funny sounds. back online later (if the wind stops and the creek don't rise -- which may or may bnot be tongue in cheek today)
good luck!
Later stid. Good luck on that!
Good luck Stid!
afternoon all......... just finished up with my last 3
fireworks!!!
I am absolutely tearing my hair out on a four-letter word! Yahoo for Gu!!
YAY 10s!! **breaks out the firesticks**
scar........... which one
Monkeyed it. Whew!
Thanks for offering to help, Gu... it was a Li word.
was it the li4/5........ I overlooked that for about an hour
exactly, Scarlet..they actually have a "talking" Hallmark card with that shrimp clip in it from the movie
That one I found.... after several tries, Gu... it was the simple 4/4 that drove me batty.
The middle of the three, 4/4s at the end of the Li words...
tea nearby ...steeping...
I never heard of that, Krista... very funny!\
Luc... you are bringing me back into the fold of tea- drinking again... I enjoy it!~
tea is just the best thing ever
Hot chocolate is pretty high up too...and hot cider
great Scarlet - i love it - not much of a coffee drinker
definitely, but tea is at the top
i'll second that Ata !
I have 3 drawers of tea :)
I have a huge, handmade basket that beloved found at an artisan's kiosk, and he filled it with books one Christmas...it is now full of tea!
That's sweet Scarlet...from one good thing to another!
wooot!
Luc and Scarlet - what are your favourite types of tea?
nice...
Republic of Teas chai, vanilla, almond, Earl Grey... name it!
I think Earl Grey is the finest creation on this planet!
I am ever so close to finishing the grid -- all I need is tr8/45 and an7/28 hlp, pls, ty
i'm afraid i am not a connaisseur - but will try any type...
I have some yummy honey lemon stuff...and love peppermint, but never flavours enough so I add a mint to it :)
TR 8 is a compound... catch your minks in the first word, and walk a straight **** for the second
I'm a complete tea snob - I buy a lot of my tea from www.emeyu.com but at the same time, there's nothing better than a mug of strong brewed whatever comes to hand
tr8 - compound word of the preceding tr4 and li4
have you tried Lady Grey, scarlet?
an7 = opposed to + oxygen
No, Ata... what makes it different?
an7 - an***** missiles
its got citrus in it as well.
and if Earl Grey is the greatest creation in the world, Lady Grey is the greatest creation in the universe
done---thanks for those last two--just could not find those words!!
Ohhhh... If there is more snap to the Lady Grey, then I shall search it out in one of the teashops, Ata.
wtg pbr !!!
YAY pbr!
Yahoo for pbr!
if you cant find it, let me know and I'll send you some. I'm continually promoting Lady Grey to the world!
Is there more bergamot in it, Ata?
it does tend to have a bit more oomph I think
Thank you. I am filing this tidbit away until a jaunt downtown to the shops!
if you like citrus taste, and youlike Earl Grey, you'll die of love
fireworks !
could I get a clue for the AN7 plz?
I do, and I will... I just know it!! Yippe for Lucien@!!
Against oxygen, jakes?
Against oxygen an 7/28
clued it at 3:38
YAY mont!
Hi, book!\
ty bookwomen & Scarlet F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S
YAY JM!
thank you all (taking a bow)...
Yippee for jakes-mum!! @@@
wtg Jakes-mum !!
hello everyone. just here for a minute. still have 44 left.
Thowing fresh tea bags to Montreal!!
onward to sudoku !! (snow shovelling reduces babble time... i know babble should take precedence but...)
Be careful mon ami!
"taken by surprise, am hit by a whole bunch of tea beags"...
*giggle*
tx scarlet - happy babbling all "POOF"
and ditto you Luc, I can supply proper english tea if you ever wish!
Ata is on a mission
I am SOOOOOO upset
could cry, actually
Why, Krista?
oh no Krista!
*arms in wide-open HUG stance*
Ok, crying now..this is going to sound SO stupid...I got my first negative feedback as a seller on eBay after TEN years. I admitted I forgot to ship something, apologized, shipped it immediately, and REFUNDED the shipping. God, no room for being human, here.
Dear...
WAs the buyer nasty to you, Krista?
sweetheart! ignore them. you're wonderful
Ditto Ata's support.
Oh Krista...I don't know much about eBay, but I'm sure you can post your side of the story somehow? And it can't affect your rep. too much if you've been doing it for ten years
people are utterly unreasinable on ebay
can i get a clue for the an 7?
(Although I acknowledge the personal insult is more damagin)
eieios... being violently opposed to oxygen?
She just asked where the item was, and I said, you know, I could make up a bunch of excuses, but the truth is I forgot! They do let you give your side of the story after the feedback, so I did that. She is relatively new, but still. GEesh.
an4/4 + oxygen
Thanks, all...wiping snotty nose. I've got more important things to worry about, for sure, but that was a shock to my system.
thx. just scrolled back and saw it. =)
Krista, sounds like everywhere else...people expect immediate results that suit them and no-one else. Also, XMas season makes people...nuts :)
You told the truth... that's a great deal more than most sellers offer today... Krista, {{{Hug}}}
I bet! Especially when you've done all you can to help her! Just ignore it. People will see your side of the story too
Ebay scares me.
Hey, I know the rush I get form being congratulates as a cluer on here! I'm sure being insulted on Ebay would be the antithesis!
Perfect, Uni!
i think you are brave to sell anything on it. i let my husband pursue that avenue. i just take everything to the Salvation Army or the Children's Home in our area
I also give good clothing to the men's shelter and the rape crisis center... the clothing that the victims wear becomes evidence... so, they don't want to walk out of the hospital in scrubs...
I have always enjoyed it. I met my husband on eBay! Ok, I'm alright now. Thanks - you guys are great.
EBay intimidates me. I admire your use of it!
*Giving Krista some of Ata's Lady Grey tea*
you did? really? tell all!
never would have thought of that, Scarlet..(the rape clothing thing)..very nice
What, about meeting Patrick, Ata?
yes! sounds wonderful!
and will remind you of the nice things about ebay!
The poor men and women who are raped... are put in the hospital for clinical evaluation and laboratory testing... their underwear, clothing and even shoes sometimes, becomes the property of the forensic unit of the police department... very few, if any, people ever want those clothes back... horrid memories.
Scarlet, that is an aspect I have never even thought of...I think after suffering through rape, the hospital, stress, emotions, etc I would not want to be leaving in a bare-bum johnny shirt
Yes, dear... it is shattering for them.
So, the rape crisis center takes good clothing, clean and in good shape... for those who are still so shocked by the events, that they don't even realize that the clothing is used...
In 1997, my nephew gave me a very nice Ren and Stimpy t-shirt that was too small in the chest area. I put it on eBay, and sold it to a man in London. There was no PayPal back then, so I asked him to pay me in Teletubbies for my then 2-year old daughter. He did, and we struck up a friendship. My marriage was already on the rocks, and in the process of separation. Patrick moved in on me :). He visited me several times over the next two years. He moved here in 2000 and we got married! His parents moved here the year our son was born.
Awwwww... Krista... what a love story!
oh WOW! so you married a Brit :D
Krista, if you sell that to Hollywood you'll be rich!
how wonderful!
i met my DH online too. wonder if we will ever have a babble wedding....
hello everyone :)
bound too one day. we already have Anj and Lola
HI, nan.... welcome to "Love Rules the World!"
eBay had a contest recently about how it transformed your life (went along with Transformers toy promotion)..I never got around to entering our story....yep, thought you knew he was a Limey, Ata, sorry
hey nan
I probably did without clicking on the fact!
And that other gal, who moved to Toronto, is going to have a Babble wedding... her next mate will be a fellow Babbler!
good choice of a man ;)
Kate Hudson?
yup
sorry if i am being dense, but i can't seem to find the an 5/10.
He's a keeper, for sure. :) Check out my icon..it's what he did to our Taurus SE!!
That's so cool! I remember Anj..he hooked up with a Babbler??
ha ha! fab :D
yeah, Lola100
AN + *** la la la
thx, scarlet.
just read back in the log -- who is Kate Hudson marrying?
Wow, and they're getting married. That's great!
:-) eieios
I forget his name... Ata, do you remember?
well, since i can only find 84 words, there are no more?
Was it jacksprat... no....
not sure if they are getting married, but they are very firmly together

eieios, small opera solo
Sometimes it all works out for the best. My ex and I are still friends, and he brings his fiance over for all the holidays. It's kind of weird, but it works well for our daughter.
Nan, I just went through some old e-mails, and thought maybe I had saved her letter... No luck finding it, though.
eie...two different endings
thx, phae
Then Kate had all those problems getting hre ikds ou of UK, the school would not release their records, etc. etc. I feel like I spent and eternity with her
I remember a young American on LiveJournal that did adayinmylife foto journal. He posted his photos and then a young girl replied and the rest is history
That's it, inge!! Thank you!

dspike, they said it was more of the ne7/28, but i can't figure that out
Hello there, dcseain!! :-)
Thanks, Herin! The badge is "hand applied." Sticker missing looks awful; I shouldn't show that part.
Ata, that is very true. That put things in perspective for me, thank you Dear.
Think of the plant, NE**** that has prickles on it, stinging you... then, more so.

Perfect then, Uni... the best solution is to get a pot over your head ASAP!! LOL
io + li4/4
mlf, io and the li4/4 word
you leave someone out when you al 8/40 them - so the al 7s have to do with the ET part of it
Going to class, Herin?
MLF... io+ not dark, but li4/4

TA + second vowel + I'll have to wear a truss for this her***

I need the last te6/18 please
TY!!
ta + the finish line is at the **d of the race + third vowel, then first vowel

TE 6/18 add common ending to the 4/4 above it (this is the 1st te 6)
and do the same for the other TE 6 18
Then add a consonant to the end of that word for the 6/30

Ei i have got 22 and given up
Yep...I"m hitting the wall at 100 to go. That's bad.
yep, but it's always a struggle
LOVE oprah, hated E,P,L... :)
yes, mlf!
i have 54 left
Haz how are you
Hi haz, nice clue, even if I did have the word
why isn't entrail a word?
doreens i have 93 left and i have been here 3 times since it first started last night
haz! you're up late!
because it is only a plural word
why did you hate it, asgreen?
I want tilapia (i'm hungry)
That's her second show about it, eiei. It's a follow up. Scrabbler was reading that, I think.
ok, I'll do a few - my hubby and son are making latkes....daughter is setting the table....I'm playing babble
I thought she was a big whiner
haz, I get your drift and know Mr. Gore. Not familiar with Mr. Geller
thx, haz, didn't have that one
I made tilapia last night!
the show is making me feel like a failure b/c i haven't travelled the world. i merely take care of my four kids. easy job, eh?
I read it last summer and liked it, but it may have more to do with my life. And she was very self-indulgent.. it was her catharsis
ei - she has no kids - she was paid to do her trip (she's a journalist)
Have any of you been watching the Tin Man?
My book: Pray, Eat, Play Babble and Wipe Butts
Krista sorry i didn't reply earlier i was getting coffee and lunch sorted
lol Krista
mlf, yes I have!
eie i think anyone who reads that book probably does too she was asked about how to do it without travelling didnt seen to have much of an answer
sounds like me, krista lol
MLF... I watched about 20 minutes of it after the football game was over and HATED it.
phae isnt it GREAT
so, my kids (who are turning 9 in a few weeks) gave me footie pjs for my bday - how fun is that!?!
seems like a soul search i don't have time for. i would rather babble. =)
Probably lots of us, ei!
entrail is not valid. sigh, enable.
i need some of those, asgreen
It's ok, Herin. Hope your drive will be pleasant.
it is only a plural word
nm, monkeyed it.
i tried that too cd lol
UR7/32 (2nd)
well, that is stupid, phan.
OH - so that's it, ph!
Oh and Oprahs endorsement of the Secret is crap. One of the supporters had Amway go 'back off buddy' as its all a big pyrimad scam
ur7 to pee
when you relieve your bladder
momo, to vacate the body of ur5/12
eie if i travelled where she did i would meditate be relaxed etc too
oh, phan, that's much nicer! LOL
Krista look at my icon. Thats my transport
:P
no eieios - it refers to all of your intestines
duh, just what I need to do
i know. just being pouty. =)
Soul searching is way up there on the Maslow hierarchy of needs. It's a luxury for many.
mlf, yea i really like it.
first ta 6?
i would love to travel and relax on someone else's dollar. what a treat!
phae do you know who the lion is?
PFTTT! That's great, Herin!! LOL!
my DH keeps complaining about lack of free time. he assumes b/c i don't work out of the home, i have a ton of it. lol

mlf, don't understand, you mean who the actor is?

good "morning" dc
mlf, zooey something?
yes deschel
Gone is good!!
gone is good... yes... still trying to figure out my dinner
boens or house cant remember which show lol
Maybe the substitution changed the texture, but if the cats don't have them in their dishes, the family sure liked them!
btu they are sisters sound like and the eyes color is EXACTLY the same its weird
I used to get upset when I made something, then they would eat all of it. All that work, then it was gone!
( and I am not... a true "measurer" )
I don't watch bones very often
Rather that than to do a lot of work, and no one likes it... going to waste...
I say..oh..that looks like 1 1/4 cup...that looks like 3/4 cup ....
phae do you think the purpose for that evil thin taking d g's sister was done for just a storyline or what?
Well, if they were "et" it's good... so, you have to make dinner now? LOL/\
carlee neither are the chefs on tv loll
probably their idea of how they got an evil witch in Oz
I measure when I bake... that's all... my daughter had to watch me a few times when I make latkes so she could get it right...
me?...nope..made chicken salad for missie with left over chicken..hubby has gone out for dinner and a movie with buddies and my son is currently "pouting" since I commendered the "puter"
i'm going to miss it tonight. Going to watch NCIS

Kat... soup, omelet, grilled applesauce sandwiches?
phae is going to miss it
I'm well,thanks carlee.
they'll repeat it later
It is a wretched take on the Wizard of Oz... futuristic and even more fantastical, kat. Hi, Haz.
Hello Scarlet - nice to see you.
did u ever try the sandwich red?...I'll probably defrot some frozen butter chicken and boil up some basmati
yes will be repeated at 11 or 12 my time following the first running of the third part
grilled applesauce sandwiches?
yes it is Scar
It is good to see you, also, Haz. Is it a bit late now for you? 11 p.m., or do I have my clocks unbalanced, as usual?
It's a bit later than usual. I was busy today, did a demo for a local ladies group and am unwinding a little.
did we get a clue for the or5/12?
What were you demonstrating, Haz?
Not yet...
Yes, I did, kat, and you were right on the nose about the taste... beloved also enjoyed them!
Christmas table settings/decorations and suggestions for starters. And some funny poems for afters.
phae i dont think so i want to know what it is though too
like grilled cheese/ cheese toasties...sub applasauce and cinnamon...takes ike apple pie..almost...
mom5, did you get it figured out yet?
mom5, did you get it figured out yet?
OR + a type of bunny rabbit... describing his ears
No, still need a clue for OR 5/12 too!
don't know one rabbit from another
yum. I make grilled cheddar and put mango chutney in them, but that's totally different
scarlet, you clued that before, and didn't understand it then
i know part of the bunny ears but not the whole thing
Nice, Haz... very creative. The chatline had quite a discussion of we Grinches vs the Christmas elves... I believe it was approximately 50/50
OR + *** off his head, screamed the Red Queen!
Clues are a funny thing. What seems common sense or obvious to one person can be so foreign to another. :D
I'm a Grinch until it comes closer to Christmas Day. I refuse to put decorations up too soon.
Thx, scarlet, that did it!
I put some candles on the tables, string tiny white lights over the mantel, and that is it! I am not a Christmassy person, AT ALL... never will be!
Yea, phaeton!!
you put up decor
and you get tired of looking at them
Well, that sounds elegant, Scarlet, so I approve!
hi all ! back for my final 3
LOL... very minimalist, Haz! Hello beth.. how is that sore wing?
That's funny bethn, I need my final 23!

LOL Haz hubby and i dont put up much we dont want an xmas tree with two cats and besides theirs no presents whats the point lol
momof i have 92 left
li7 please
No worries, there's plenty of time left, right?
I have not had a tree in 20 years, and won't kill one to indulge a two-week season... I will look at the Tannenbaums in their natural habitat.
ol 4/5 pls
walk the li** + Adam and Eve *** the forbidden fruit
ty mom
Do you mean 29 to go, MLFAN?
ol4/4 sounds like margarine but with diff vowel
OL4/4 rhymes with the disease that Pres. Roosevelt suffered...
We've had artifical trees for 35 years -- fresh evergreens in the house aggravate our youngest's asthma.
a clue please for the pi5/6 combo please?
nan... that is the way to go... I can't dream of putting a live one in the house...
TY SCARLET got both of those
to pi*** your interest, use the 5 point letter (then add a t for the pi6)
To eiher interest or annoy, Flask... a fit of pi***
Yea for MLF
*either*
I bought one of those pre-lit ones a couple of years ago --- that is truly the way to go -- no messing with strings of lights!
Don't take a fit of this if you don't get the clue, Flask. (uses the double letter tile) then add a consonant for the pi6
If I ever get soft on the whole Christmas thing, nan, that is how I will do it... already pre-strung, etc.!
if iw erent worreid about cats eatting on the tree or the ornaments etc i want one of those fiber optic trees
have to run -- girls night out Christmas dinner tonight! --- will probably around at the flip :)
Enjoy, nan!!
what is the clue for the I on the bottom right above the l and next to the p??
TA6/18 (2nd), plz.
thanks Haz!
mlfan it's a kind of mineral
oi = Texas Oi***s (if you are a sports fan)
ta + neurological disease myaesth**** gravis
can i have a clue 4 the tr8 please
No problem, Flask.
tr4/5 + walk the li4/4 (Johnny Cash)
gee doreen you didnt tell us we needed a medical dictionary for this puzzle??
DIctionaries of any sort are useful!
sorry mlf, i was married to a neurologist for 20 years
momof i know the answer but not where it goes
dorens, that's the first ta, I need the 2nd, plz.
I'd have got the word from that clue, Dorens, it's okay.
really dorens?
oh, when kids don't get what they want, they have a ta***um... change the um to a vowel
i cant figure out that mineral one either
of course haz, you're you
tr8 pleaseeeeeeeeeee
ok, lol, I'm only half paying attention here, but I can't get more than TWO of the res in the top left. Don't bother cluing - too preoccupied w/family
It's the only oi word vegetable oi* + more ending
ml, what common mineral ending is in the grid... and you know the first two letters.. so you can find it
ty dorens for that ta um clue
there is NO such thing as "soft on christmas"
cool - it's been clued. It combines a snare with a straight thing between two points.
yw ml, glad it worked for you
ty dorens
You have that right, kat... I'm too far along in years to finally lose my mind at the end of the year.
ty hazel
You're welcome, cool.
i decorated house..I decorated store... finished
I will do a few little touches right before daughter's birthday on the 18th, then finito!
store carlee?
huh, now that I'm 40 I must be losing my hearing - or did no one respond and laugh at my lameness in this puzzle tonight? :)
we always put up the tree on my bday ...was "christmas tradition" when I grew up
I didn't hear any laughter, asgreen... *tee-hee*
its lame for everyone I think green..I gave up hours ago....
When is that, kat?
15th... and hubby is the 24th

ah, then happy early!
it is a hard grid, amanda
carlee you gave up along time ago?
my kids are on the 31st - crazy right?
And L will be 26 on the 18th... she was supposed to be born a week before American Thanksgiving... I was pregnant for 10 months...
thanks green.... the big ..41...woohoo
10months??????????????
Yep!
i was "due" on 24/25...my mum's dr had 10 women due then..he didn't want to spend xmas at hospital delivering babies...so he had us all induced
me too scarlett, they told me David would be born around thanksgiving although I knew exctly when he was conceived and he should have been born dec 15th... he came dec. 28th
( my son was 9 months 3 weeks ...daughter 9 months 2.5 weeks)
That last month was just brutal, Dorens...
these kids really enjoyed the womb, eh?
asg new Yrs eve??
lol - and I was pg for SEVEN months! OY Scarlet...10 months!!!
and everyone calling up every other day to ask what was happening, right?
My bday isnt until july
NOTHING was happening....it was hell
yeah mlf - they were due feb. 4th
aww, but the memories are great! and you can always hold it against them!
wow asg but a nice way to ring in new year huh?
I guess! lol :)
after a while i began to wonder if it was an hystericall lpregnancy and there wasn't a baby! lol
asg how old are they now?
any clues for the last two NE words?
That daughter has made up for the lapse ever since she burst out of the wrappings, though..started school at five, graduated at 16, then college early... she has not slowed down yet. Double Oy!

The fisherman uses his rod and reel, and holds a loosely woven round *** to scoop up the fish
thanks all! bbl or bbt!

I would have never thought of that spelling. Thanks Scarlet.

Hi saphyre!
Does that help with the NE6 at all, Scarlet?
Oh, I thought you caught it from the fisherman clue, mom... NE + double consonants + hesitation syllable
or6 please
Look east, joanne for or6
or 6/18 far east
ok this one is a bit tougher than it first appeared . slowing down to a halt
It's fun, but not a breeze, saphyre.
definitely no breeze
omg tyty
Not a gale, though.
certainly no monsoon
Is that the ne6/21?
seems I am finding the big ones quicker than the small ones
NO, we've had monsoons in the past... not that bad.
A stiff breeze?
hi everyone see christmas wesley!
Mom, the 6/21 is NE + Not me, but yo* + gather **l of your friends during the holidays
tad more than that, me thinks
Helo hurshy - looking now.
Bluster conditions, Haz.
hi hursh
WOW! Was I slow on that one! Thanks for ALL the help.
back again, sorry not to respond phone call. im pretty rocky today, i think the arn reacts to the weather like and old farmer
Not bustle conditions either, Can you imagine having to wear one of those. However would you babble with a bustle?
standingup haz
*Blustery* LOL... none of those contraptions at this computer!!
I think so. Long grids would be a test of endurance.
So glad you found it, mom.
but we would do it haz, y ou know this
Only 17 to go...
has anyone clued te7/32?
what is the right hand i word?
lol we would

We would. Or we'd find somebody to design a special chair.
a fainting couch for babblers - interesting idea :)
io + eat li4/4 and eat rite
more canvas or more smaller hehe
te7

Of the two te7/28 words one is smaller than the other and the other is fonder of a canvas dwelling than another.

ta6 - like the te5/10 but with extra vowel inserted. (tapeworm or something?)
ta6 i believe are thoes tapeworms from a recent puzzle

against what we breathe
against what we breath joanne
oh, it wasn't a clue, i was just commenting
an7: an4/4 + oxygen
te5/10 - a rule or precept of authority, the other is a number followed by two vowels, all adding up to a tapeworm (ugh)
had someone asked a clue? was it a horrid coincidence?
tyty

Hi all

mymuse, I thought your icon was a little blue Loch Ness monster! lol

looking for PA words: pa6/21 (2) and pa8
pa6/21 - looks as if it would be more of a chum pa6/21 - like a books of psalms without the s
pa8 - more trifling
got the chum
Haz, you are braving silly season to be on at this time?
got both pa6/21's
(Although we seem a fairly subdied bunch at the moment.)
I was busy today, Vicuna, am on late to unwind.
the FIRST ta6/18 please?
ta, Mrs Sharples from Coronation street with extra vowel before the last (hoping you remember hairnet woman)
*subdued. Whatever.
I do Haz...and thanks!
sub-died could work as well.
Glad it worked, Flask!
I like to think I'm at least slightly above died. WHen you get sub-died is that like never having been alive in the first place?
Fireworks for me...thanks for the clues and goodnight to you all!!
congrats
Goodnight Flask, and well done!
oh my what a video today, makes me feel really stupid for complaining about my arm
Yay for Flask!
I'm not sure (about the sub-died)
off for dinner see you in the grid tomorrow
Goodbye, bethn.
Bye beth. And I should disappear as well, I'm so unwound I'm in danger of falling asleep! Night all and see some of you tomorrow.
nite Haz
Goodnight, Haz. If you're that unwound it's clearly time to knit up the ravelled sleeve of care.
I can knit. Just don't ask me to sew any sleeve..... Night!
night haz

I'm always amazed at the cleverness. I tend to think more literal
sometimes there are so many of them, i don't get them all. I can't use lickety so appreciate any and all clues
Some of those foreign-like words throw me.
Well, got to get dinner started. C U tomorrow.

Evening Cathy
Good night all ... poof.
hi cathy
hi Cath
gnite, mom5
How's your part of NS today?
nite mom!
li6 rhymes with my dairy-loving cat!
a little blustery...not bad tho uni...we only got a about 4 or 5 inches of snow here in my town...not bad...I think all around us got harder tho...how about you?
but its very wet and heavy snow...
Mostly just cold. Slushy, hailey and cold.
my son was very happy to have the day off school!
there is no way there are 70 some more words in this grid
Lol! I am in uni, and yesterday was my last day of class. Just exams from friday to monday, adn they won't cancel those!!
Phaeton - I am at 163, so there must be!
dang
yeah...university is more like going to work...ya gotta go unles yer dying
Even then, you better get a doc note in fast!
but you have to go less of the time...
That is helpful. If only you didn't have to read, write and study so much :( Actually, it's not all that bad. Just exhausting
i hear ya....i took the afternoon off work cuz i put my back out shovelling...boss insists on a note...may as well be in school! lol oh well...got some muscle relaxers for the back and a referral to chiropractic treatments.
Plus, you get paid to work, and I pay many 1000s to go to school
brb
I think a referal and a prescription ought to count
yeah, but.... enjoy it while you can, dear. it doesn't get better.
true enuff uni...what are taking? hopefully you'll do something that'll help u make the big bucks so u can pay off the student loans quickly
LOL. I have no idea...which is a problem. Looks like teaching, but that will create more loans first. It's a bad cycle.
bk...had to get after my kiddo to get into bed
Hope your back gets better though...back pain (from what i hear) is a killer
how far along in university are you? what year?
yes...but its worth it...oooh...wish i'd gotten into teaching. summers off...spring break...etc. ;)
Any help for an 7,28 please
against what we breathe
sorry pms...i don't have that 7
I finished the grid! And I am halfway through second year
don't want oxygen
Need to declare a major (too many options) and figure out a cohesive plan. very intimidating.
what do u want to teach uni?
ahh
ty maddline1
did you get it PMS
an7 = against what you breathe
yw
thanks muse!
if you want my advice... pick something, anything, and pick it fast. don't pick teaching. something that makes a decent living. if you don't like it but you've been able to save up some money, you can switch to something else after awhile.
yes Finished now
Depends on the day Cathy...I love kids and work with them best, but love english and wuld like to motivate teens to read. I also adore babies, so daycare would be fantastic (have taken care of kids my whole life)
they tell you not to worry, take your time, figure out what you love, but it's all a big lie. time is the one thing you don't have enough of.
My issue is, as hursh pointed out, everything i like doesn't pay. I am thinking about pecial needs teaching for children with mental and learning disorders
of course if there is something you do know you will love, then as long as it pays enough to get by, go for it.
my issue is, i don't like anything, so i might as well have just picked something and got on with it.
opening a daycare makes a pretty decent living though uni...specially around here. where my son used to go for daycare, after the first 3 years the owner was able to purchase a new lot, build a new centre and run an afterschool program out of the new place...plus...daycares have gov't subsidies
I would be best as a perpetual student. But since no-one has won the lotto, i have to be functional
arrhhh...brb...dog wants out now
Everyone tells me to stick to kids. I am great with kids, and I love them to bits. I just...I feel far too young to decide anything as "permanent" as a career right now
of course you feel that way. you are too young. but the reality of the world is, if you don't pick something soon, you could be screwed.
life sucks, then you die, might as well face it.
Have you recently graduated Hursh?
no, 8 years ago
It doesn't get betteR? :(
no.
sucks.
at least, it could, but don't count on it. i mean, don't float along and expect it to get better. make decisions now that will make it better 10 years from now.
lol hursh...aren't u the bright spot in the grid today! ;)
yeah that's me, little miss ray of sunshine...
Lol. Can't rely on Canadian gov't tp support me...they just want their money back
uni...if u pick something now...try it out for a little while, make some $$ and if u don't like what you're doing, re-educate yerself into another career/field or whatever. meantime, pray for a rich hubby! lol
Rich hubby is top of the list Cath!
nobody gave me any practical advice or guidance... they just said, you can be anything you want. nobody gave me any help deciding what that might be. and so after spending my whole life being told, this is where you will go to school today, these are the classes you will take, i just went, "huh?"
don't hold yer breath hunny!
can i please have a clue for the tr 8/45
i know people who have changed careers multiple times till they found what they really loved to do....while others...plug away doing what they hate all their lives.
but to get a degree behind you help in whatever avenue you choose down the road...
tr8/45 booby tr** + draw a straight **** (I can)
only, make sure it's a degree in something useful!!
rich hubby may never happen
thanks
fireworks
grats saph
speaking of words, what's the other pa7 at the end besides a college student who's drinking?
YAY saph!

Well, young though I may be I do have a boyfriend of several years whom I currently live with...and he's not rich, so I s'pose I might as well make sure that I am!
pa***** in a law firm
pa7 law firm named pa*****
lol at will on B & G
well i'm stupid.
ooh oh dear lost track of time good thing you showed up feather
have to run to the store before tinman comes on - night all and thanks
yes! didn't miss much yet. just intro of everyone, and embarrassing clips of will acting like king. he was extremely embarrassed, and apologized to everyone for acting like that
he apologized in the time before he left, or in the re-gathering
hop on aim, and we don't have to annoy everyone else with it
they'd probably like it - cheer 'em up after my pessimistic ranting
lol ok
ha i love the look on his face when he kissed her
lol, yeah

clue for ap6 anyone?
ooo, i got a board finally
ap + not heavy
aw man, these re's...

Hello babblers! Just popped in to say thanks to feather. Diane Setterfield is on hold for me at the library, should arrive at nearby branch tomorrow or Thursday. Looking forward to it.
hi weegee
oh good wee! i'm 1/3 through, and still enjoying very much. i can tell it'll be a book that i'll be sad to see end
hi fran, hurshy, all.
ar7/28? either one
think about that french chicken plucking song
no, not chicken, the name of the song is the name of the bird
they both sound a little bit like that.
scrabulous is slower than last night heather, don't get too frustrated.
no kidding
hmm, don't know how to pluck a french chicken hursh
ooh! but i got it anyway!
sorry was watching video
thanks!
yay muse!!!!
ar7/28, ends with the French song alou****, jonte alou****,
is the first ur7 a normal word?
for the other swap last vowel for the 1st
ur7 is a geologic term I think
there's a child care center in the building where I work and every day at naptime they play that chicken plucking song! I remember being horrified when I translated it in 7th grade.
think Russian mountains and not heavy
got it!
from your first clue. thanks!
lol weegee, sung it as a kid in French but never knew what it meant
lol fran...i found that one right off the bat! just needed to know there WAS a ur7 (listless at the moment)
that's firewords for me!
really grim, muse. like that "...if I should die before I wake..." terrible prayer children are taught
there are 2 ur7
what's the translation?
yay fran!
ur7 is a geologic term? i figured it was a bodily function
ahhhh...ok...guess i don't have the other one
YAY FRAN!!!!!!
congrats fran!
congrats Fran!!
there's another one cath
ok now i can bring up scrab
k, hursh translated for me, lol
i guess it's about plucking chickens heather
can u clue it for me fran?
plucking chickens?
that's the ar7s cath
al******, gentle al*****, al****** i am going to pluck you
ahhh..k
and goes from there!
ur7 (first one), muse gave a good clue for, think russian mountains + not heavy
it is not a chicken
i only said that in my first post because when you think of plucking a bird you think of a chicken.
oh. so what is it?
tjaml upi fram
it's just a bird, called al******, i think
ne 8 clue someone?
hi everyone
erm, cathy?

Hi, everyone, btw.

Well done, pam.
I'm sticking with my 'present mode of transport' icon from yesterday for now. I've also added a thing to my bio that a friend sent me earlier.
It's a bit of a 'rainbow bridge' thing though, so don't read it if you're feeling weepy.
I had seen that before and love it--thanks, Jac...
still yesterday here, jacula...heh
I've also put those 3 plain cake recipes I sent to Ata earlier in my recipe thread on BabAnon. You'll find them on page 32, should you want them.
No, it's tomorrow here, EvaN. If that's makes any sense. LOL

shades of brokeback mountain o.0
We're all saying, 'PHEW!' with you, EvaN.

Just looked at your photos, EvaN. Not sure if this is the right thing to say but, oh my! You do look like your Mom.
Great, evan!
heh, lotsa people say that, jacula... which i always find amusing, because im adopted!
ta 6/18 clue I have the hindu thing
ruru - it's the Babble tapeworm.
I have finally found it... I remembered it for the first time I hate tapeworms......ewwwww
EvaN - that's amazing! Not you being adopted but the likeness, unless they tried to 'match up' at the start. I guess that goes to prove that some of who we are and what we look like comes from who we spend our lives with.
ur 7 the first one I have the peeing one
yknow how people say you look like your pets? i think its the same thing with my parents...heh... i dont think they tried to match us up, but i do have traits of both of them...
It's a mineral found in volcanic rocks, ruru. Ur** (mountains) or ur + vowel + 'not heavy' spelled the dieter's way.
u
EvaN - I firmly believe that you learn many mannerisms, fashions and facial expressions from those around you. They also say that couples who have been together a long time get to look like each other. Some stuff is genetic... a lot more is learned.
stop right there, dcs! Wrong box!
hi, sorry, cats
Hi, all
its funny though, because i do look a LOT like my mom did at my age.
clue please for final te6/18? hi dc
jac, conveniently, i use Expert, so one box; cat hit space-enter
TO - it rhymes with improved health, i.e. 'I am feeling be****.'
ty, i am just so darned tired....bbs need to put wash in dryer
im watching "Reaper" right now, then its dream-land for me!
y/w, TO. (Hoping TO doesn't try to stuff entire washing machine into the dryer.)
afternoon everyone :)
I watched the DVD of 'Miss Potter' earlier, as I finished my ironing. I've had it for ages but not got around to watching it. It was a charming film.
Hi, MrP.
Hi, mrp
hey, mr.p!
Hi, MRP
Can someone re-clue the tapeworm? I can't get it... I think my brain is on holiday,...

small dogs?

thanks, jac, but not happening...
Got it, never mind, and thanks!
they want a quiet house... the friggin traffic was so noisy cause of the rain. medium-small dogs... poodle, wippet and some mongrel
y/w, pam.
I remember some prorpective buyers coming to my last house. They discussed, in front of me, how they planned to slab my beautiful garden over in order to make a run for their 3 weimeraners. GRRR!
*prospective
thank U...167.......yayay
Congrats ruru!!
Yay, ru!

Well done, ruru.
I am done for now... will be back for the flip

y/w, ruru.
te4/4, MrP is one of 4 a cow has.

Next te4 is someone who's 13-19.
Is that starting you off, MrP?
got those and the camp one... but the 6's are not showing
Ah! The 6's. Hang on...
a cute little canvas sleeping area
te6/18 adds George Clooney's medical dept to the 13-19 qord.
Next te6/18 is t + 'to go into somewhere or something'. It expands on the canvas dwelling word.
got them all now! thanks
Next te6.18 is the camp word extended. Or, number after 9 + 'to make a knot'.
evening everyone
Hi, Natasha
Final te6/18 rhymes with 'improved health', 'I am feeling much be****, thank you.'
thank you :)
y/w, MrP.
Hi, Nat.
I have just gotten home from a business mtg. Has anyone heard from Stid? There are some weather emergencies in her state and I am wondering if she is OK.
Hi, Scrabbs. I saw here here earlier but don't know about now.
last nite she mentioned that her power was out for several hours, have not heard from her today yet
TY for the info. The info on TV shows dreadful conditions.
BTW, Scrabbs, I see that just after I left when we were last on here together, you asked me to give Chandler a hug. That might be difficult since St. Francis is caring for him now. My remaining bunny is Flossie.
where is stid at? i'm in the NW and lots of flooding here.
how bad is it lmj?
Oh heck! Whatever our cousins Over The Pond get weatherwise, it generally arrives with us about 2 weeks' later.:(
i'm near just south of tacoma, SE of olympia. Olympia and south of are very bad. have one friend that is surrounded by water and can't get out off his hill!
parts of I-5 are under water...
Wow, IMJ... sounds dreadful...
Hi, Scrabs and Natasha!!!!
Natasha--are you in CT? Long time!
Oh, sorry, Jacula. I got the names mixed up. Flossie is your remaining bunny. So, give him a hug!
hi Pam
Hmm... somewhat like UK back in the summer... check back on my Flickr pics.
I am...and what a journey it has been getting here!
i guess i won't complain about the rain 700 miles away in Montana....
Scrabbs - I did, on your behalf! LOL
What I saw on TV is awful---extensive flooding, wind damage, etc
You'll have to fill me in at some point. Hope you are well--that the kids are well, and that you are working...
That's why my eyes are itching now, Scrabbs. Over the years I seem to have become allergic to either bunny or guinea pig hair. I think it's the soft bunny hair. My old Kira (fluffy cat) used to have some effect on me.
Thanks. The short story is that my uhaul, and everything I own, was stolen on the trip out here. I'm pulling stuff together, with the help of a lot of wonderful people.
OMG, how positively dreadful, Natasha. I am SOOO sorry.
Blimey, Nat! That's awful! I hope the b*st*rds that did that to you get their comeuppance eventually.
en6?
Oh, NO, Natasha! That is terrible!
me too, Jac. It seems like a particularly nasty type of theft--the vast majority of what they took means nothing to anyone but me.
But, we're all safe and have a home and I'm looking for a job and that's what really counts.
Can I send you some books? I can't think of what else I can send...
I'm so sorry, Natasha. That would be awful!
Hi everyone! Oh dear, Natasha, any idea of who the dreaded theif was/were?
Glad you found a place to live...
that's a lovely offer, Pam, but please don't feel you have to offer anything.
natasha, a friend of mine had that happen some years back, and the Uhaul dealership near my home, where it was parked before continuing to his new place, stole the truck and the goods.
I don't feel compelled...
nope, lbdawger. the police told me that uhauls are actually targeted and they see theft like this all the time.
it was parked near my home, not at the dealership
Harp, en + build a better mouse ****
oooh, that's bad dcseain! Mine was found abandoned and stripped in a particularly nasty area of youngstown, ohio
thanks
UGH, nat.
How did the kids handle it?
I still believe that there are far more good people the world over than there a bad, but the bad still make me feel sick!
the kids were upset, but thankfully they weren't with me at the time. Fortunately I'd sent most of their clothes and toys ahead with my ex, as I wasn't coming out here for a few months.
friend's theft occurred in the NE part of Capitol Hill, in Washington, DC.
wow, Nat how disheartening! But glad you are experiencing some wonderful people helping you out
and the thing that made me happiest was that I'd also sent all the kids' pictures ahead as well.
so you have some things, i gather?
Glad that it worked out with the kids...
I know what you mean about the photos, Nat.
Are you all living near each other?
I still bet you feel violated.
that sucks :(
Oh, great about the pics!
lbd - yes, violated IS the word.
Are you near Yale? I ahve a good pal out that way. I
It sucked for your friend, too, lbd
ap6/21 clue, please? ty
I was still working at my old job at the time and by the time I got back to Madison they'd collected a huge amount of things for me--pretty much furnished a new kitchen and I don't think I'll ever need to buy a sheet or towel again! My ex in-laws sent me 3,000 bucks, which REALLY helped.
ap+ bud or miller ****, as in less calories
These people, who for one reason or another want to make a quick buck, do they ever think about what they do to those they steal from? I doubt it!
oh, glad that you 've got most of what you need.
WOW, Nat--that is WONDERFUL.
You have great friends and ex-inlaws
I am near yale, pam. About 6 blocks from the natural science museum.
Cool, Nat.
Comforting to know you're loved and looked after,Nat.
14 down 153 to go
that is for sure lbdawger!
If I ever head out that way again....

thanks for the update Muse. I've been worried about our washington folks
i am mmssing 9 re words : /
yes it's been a whle ,nat
I must have one of those soon, a babbatical, even if it only means not chatting. I must get the house cleaned up for the festive season when 'peoplle' will arrive here and might check for dust.
babbatical? that is hilarious!
Yes, Nat, that would be cool to meet...
i just keep the lights dim, so they can't see the dust! lol
LOL, lbd and jac!
Nighty-night--I will see everyone tomorrow.
I'm with you lb....mood lighting hides a lot!
Bye, Scrabbler
night night scrabbler! sweet dreams
bye scrabbler
ciao, scrabbler

i can't believe I couldn't see those. I think I'll have to break down and use lickety's list

clue for the or 6/18?
the far east, eieios
eieios, asia
duh, thanks, dc
last ne6/18?
one who makes ne4.4 (second one)
that's the 2nd 6/18, dawger
1st rather, i need the last one, pls
The fish catcher is the last ne6/18.
it's the only ne6.18, do you need the ne6.21? as in nerves?
Otherwise, the last ne6 (which is a 6/21) has to do with nerve pathways.
oh, sorry, i have discalclia, yes, that is a ne6/21 :">
how about the pa 8/45?
or ne6.21 like the gear that revs your engine without moving the car. take out the cross letter
more of the pa6.21 above it, eieios
ty, jac
dcs - is that disc cal whatsit the numeral equivalent of dyslexia? If so, I have that, too.
or, friend + one who attempts
gosh, I wish I had some energy--see you all tomorrow...
yes, it is, jac
night pam
night Pam, sweet sleep
Bye, Pam
I keep trying to remember the name of that, dcs. It's plagued me all my life.
i can only get 7 out of that, lbd.
'Night, Pam,
dc, i have dyscalculia also, which made my stats classes and math classes very interesting.
got it from the second clue, lbd
stats i can do in my sleep, i found that math very, very easy. Algebra is nightmaric for me
nightmarish, rather
yeah, i had to look at the word again, and realized i missed pronounced the word for the first clue. sorry about that.
I could do algebra, ld and long multiplication. It's the short stuff that leaves me thinking... 'eh, what?'
if i talk it out, algebra isn't too bad, but when i write it out...oivay!
I have trouble with all of it.
But, I've worked in shops and have no trouble counting down for change etc.
i've friend who has a game like scrabble, but with numbers and operands - i don't enjoy playing it, though it's a great concept.
ironically, i love math. I find it really interesting, it's just my numbers don't always look like numbers and they certainly don't always add up.
Percentages and fractions are fine is they are even numbers. If not, forget it!
clue please for second re7/28?
now i need the pa 7/32, the second one.
i did well with double-entry accounting, which i did for some years. Just kept poring over the books until the numers matched
I don't find any form of maths remotely interesting. I wish I did!
re + lawyer play
re + lawyer play

nite nat
bye nat
'Bye, Nat. Hope life improves soon.x
i wasn't diagnosed til college.
g'night, natasha
my high school basically didn't think girls needed to know much math other than the basics.
I've never been 'diagnosed', lbd, I've just worked it out for myself over 50 years of life.
mymu what is lawyer play? moot court??????
ai 6/18 clue, please?
have no ai words sorry jell. busy today and no time for babble.
Jellen - more full of oxygen.
jac, i'll be 53 at the end of this month. the diagnosis was a blessing and a curse, and certainly wasn't understood back when we were in public school.
Thanks, Jac
Jellen, more of the stuff we breath
and lbd
hey everyone, i want to wish ha[[y hannukah to those celebrating. i have to leave, see you tomorrow and ty for the clues.
what are we discussing being diagnosed with ? a math problem????? just came on tonight. sorry.

Bye, TO. Have a good night.
Night TO
'Night, TO.
discalculia, mkg
i was always an underachiever in school now i think i have ADD probably. i would day dream and be bored a lot.
it's like dyslexia, but numbers rather than letters
what is discalculia? never heard of it.
Both ar7/28's bear some resemblance to the daughter's name from 'Te Borrowers' books.
found it, thanks
Doxy, ar + 3rd and 2nd vowel + french diminuative
mkg - it's like not being able to see words but refers to sums/calculus/maths.

Jellen - that's the company that flies you somewhere...
Jellen, american, delta, northworst, scarewest...they are all ai7.28
ai8/40 is the plane you fly in.

Hi gilly

The al 7's are strange
seain at home? *worried mama look* are you okay?
STIDDY! do you have on your water wings?
Hi, gilly and stid
hi Stid!
pleased to meet you mama
Ah, stid, you're back. There were a few concerned folks asking about you earlier.
I did yesterday, LBD! LOL but today I merely walked over the receding floodwaters and went on my way
I'm gilly from autralia,still quite new here yet
hi muse. your turn. ;-)
an 6/18, the first?
gee bet my daughter has that. she was A student except math.......her teachers felt is was a learning disability. she understood physics so well then on tests would make mistakes like adding instead of multiplying. she was told that she didnt understand the signs and when advised to trace over them with pencil and say word under her breath, her grades went up. it was very amazing.
6 left... Help,please.
yes Jac, muse told me in scrabulous...
australia* my spelling leaves much to be desired
go gramma go!!!!
welcome, gilly
an 6/18: take the "eye" out of the one who doesn't like oxygen
jellen, against + what a pirate says first two letters

an+1st 4 letters of Princess head gear
we have a lot of folks from down under gilly -- so glad that someone is in the middle of spring... LOL
Thanks, lbd and gramma

what is princess head gear????????????
ap 5/12?
cool! you can find me as stidmama babble there... have you found the "babblers worldwide " group?
mkg: t5 like a mini crown
been watching the news and worried about you folks on the pacific coast! My bestest buddy lives in Yamhill, Or. I just found out she and her hubby are in Budapest this week! I sure hope their home is still where they left it.
ap 5/12: more likely
not a crown but a jewelled headband
Thanks, stid
what's going on lbd?
ap+ these storms are **rrible
I don't know how things are down there, I hear they got pretty soggy too though
i have missed the news b/c of the kiddies
ar 7/28, the first?
Jellen, a bunch of planes that take people places
AN7 against oxygen
Wicked storms on the west coast. 40 foot waves, wind, rain and snow. floods, trees downing power lines...
ty for t5 clue got it.
scary weather
yeah -- really horrific, but fewer than ten death reported... MUCH better than the midwest and back east!
yes, very scary, especially since it's blowing inland!
That's for sure, Stiddy. maybe we're a bit hardier out here than back east?
I think (and hope) that most of the precip from this storm dropped here... but the winds are pretty strong.
I am sure we are LBD! LOL why, when my ancestors walked across the lonely prairies... (uphill both ways)
it's been pretty warm over here lately. we've had some rain and a bit of wind
lol Stid! yup wearing just the few threads on their backs, pulling those wagons!
we would like some winter weather
I'm not getting the ar 7/28 clue. Remedial help, please?
What part of texas are you in Eieios?
the nice thing about the storm is that it WAS warm. very. Usually when the power goes out our house is cold... but it only took a half hour running the generator to make it nice and toasty yesterday. And the roads were wet, not slick.
oh Jellen, I thought you wanted the AI 7 sorry.
al 8???????
AR 7/28 think of AR* fleisher + marion**** (little doll on strings)
That explains some of my confusion, lol.
ar7/'28 same first 3 as 4/4 then add from French song alou****, jonti (sp?) alou****
ar+ 3rd and 2nd vowels + double cross + first vowel, change last vowel to 2nd vowel for the second ar7
that is the second AR 7, the first changes the last vowel to another.
te 5/12 clue, please
te + anagram of feline, end in vowel
te 5/12: like earthquake plate action? ends in first vowel
Thanks, all
ty for AR7s
have you finished stid?
yep. hours ago, thanks to some very patient babblers early on
here I mean
ar 6/18?
ar6 more painterly, crafterly etc

your turn again muse.
2nd ce6/21 = american curency + first vowel.
tks :)
I am turning out to be a very poor scrabble player... LOL it's been a long time (at least that is what my excuse is at the moment)
We should play together, stid. I'm rotten!
then we are evenly matched stid, lol feather is kicking my butt
Is that on Scrabulous, stid? If so, I still can't find m Babblers on there.
Jac have you looked in the Babblers Worldwide?
the other thing you can do is go into a babbler's profile and add the frieds from there
the ti 5/10, the first, please?
Not sure, mymuse.
oh muse! this is so tough to find a place to put anything!!!! what have we done to ourselves?!? LOL
actually I'm referring to Scrabulous from facebook
I can start a game if you like Jellen... LOL I fall behind in three moves, guaranteed!
LOL!!
ti 5/10: the princess headpiece
Sorry, distracted. Just getting grumpy Other Half off to work her at 3:57am in UK.
early day for him -- and for you!
I have no concept of strategy, stid, so I bet you won't fall behind.
your turn again muse
okay, I'll go set one up.
Normal day start for both of us, stid.:(
yep in there
ce 6/21, the third?
thx, stid. i was looking the wrong way
almost
Jellen, that one is like a gas, meth***
maybe I'll start a game... scrabulous is being ornery again.
Though, actually, stid, I think I score more 'loving' points for NOT being around when he rises for work.
ur turn stid
CI6H34.
again? *sigh* it's like waiting in line for the guillotine...
That's what ce6 is, LOL.
oh no, it's not that bad
Thanks, for the ce 6/21, stid
ce + sun-kissed skin + vowel.
yeah, big sparkly things for me!

I've invited my daughter, who goes to every pirate night imaginable, to accompany me. I don't think she's going to, though,:(
Thanks, Jac
Oh dear! I've just realised that I am smoking on a windy night with the office window open... I guess that means the the nutty neighbour will soon be baging on the porch door to alert me that she's smelling cigarette smoke in her bedroom.
hey, peeps
That woman is mad! It was some kind of fan noise before trhat she complained about. However, this drip, drip, drip, ringing the doorbell at all hours, even at 3.30am once, thing is driving me crazy.
Hi, tyger.
Hi, tyger
jac, I LOVE the story in your thingie today
li 6/18, the first?
gotta save that and share with my son (another rabid animal lover, specially dogs)
li6/18 rhymes with baby cat
I need one more word, then I can implement Babble Expert: te6/18 (final te)
finally back. The cat's entry really hosed babble
oops, first one rhymes with a little piece of wood lodged in your finger
I even went to the door, fist ready, when it range at about 8.30pm last night... but it was only my Sikh neighbour bringing me a booby-trapped Xmas card. 'I've always been the last writing them out,' she said. 'This year, I am determined to be the frist!' I opened it and loads of glitter fell out along with a nice big snoflake and 4 big silver dots.
Thanks, Une!
yw :-)
does anybody HAVE that final te6?
I've told her that, since I haven't written her card yet, I WILL get her back! LOL Any suggstions for Xmas card opening jokes, folks?
is that the te6 that rhymes with what you mail at the post office?
i clueed it yesterday, tyger, as 'one who observers vietnamese new year'
ryger - glad you liked the story.
oh, good one, dc!
ne 8/40?
thx, DC, ever, ever so much
jac, interesting tale of the neighbours, and the xmas card was a hoot.
ne8 more like a stinging weed
now I'll be gone about 3 minutes while uploading. then I can help clue :)
tyger, was that sarcastic, groaning, or what?
That is a good story, Jac.
Thanks, Une
yw :-)
oh, crud. I'll be gone longer. something's messed up
dcs - it was more of a hoot when you consider all the PC Brigade here in UK who try to take the 'Christ' out of Christmas in caas it offends other religions.
eh, there's room for both religious and secular observances.
io 6, 18 anyone?
ni 6/18?
UL politicians and PC people, take note of this... I have received 4 Xmas cards so far this Christmas... Ist came from a relative in Canada, the rest came from 'people of other religions'.
io + not dark
though, i know of what you speak, jac, and there's been a backlash to that in this country.
not as bad as I thought. the messed up word in my list I load into BabExp started with c. (great relief)
ty une... you've been VERY helpful to me this evening :D
my pleasure, lady!
NOW I'm back.
DC I think you're not quite conveying the strength of the backlash.
well, where i live it's very moderate, i imagine down deep South it's moreso
i have a.d.d with this grid lol
there's a lovely essay written by Ben Stein that was published several years ago (I think in the NY Times) that essentially supported the trappings of Xmas
LOL, carra, that's a cute way to put it
it's pretty strong back home in Michigan, too
you live too near the east coast, DC :P
We don't 'do' backlash... yet.. in UK, tyger... but it WILL come, if the brigade don't back off. And it won't just come from white Brits., it will come from all of us who want to keep our country peaceful.
A friend tells me that in Knoxville, Tennessee, it's strong also.
Hi, carra. I have ADD all the time!
well, dc, most of the southeast is the Bible Belt, so not too surprising
my sister has adhd.. when she was younger sheused to hide her pills.. one day we moved the table and like 30 pills fell out lol shes like i dont know how it got there
down here, I think the emphasis is more on plaques of the 10 commandments than on Xmas stuff. I find that scary, and I'm a devout Christian
probably so, jac. It annoys me when atheistic/secularists feel that religious elements of society must be suppressed. And i say that as a non-Christian myself, who accepts that Xianity is the largest religious grouping by far in my society.
anyone have clues for tough ones like the pa 8?
or a clue for the ai 6 that i am missing?
lemme refresh so I can see my word list here
ai6 more air
However, Iguess we were all appalled at the messages from thre Sudan last week... 'to kill the teacher who allowwed primaary school kids to call a teddybear Mohammed.
pa8 - more meager/lacking
ai6 more breezy
good clue, DC
yep, jac
jac, that was *frightening*
ty got the pa.
poor woman. I heard the clip of her apology when she arrived back in the UK
yay finally finding the big ones.. ai 7/8 and al 7/8
ni 6/18?
the ai7/8 is another of those weird compound words
still 72 left though
re: Sudan, indeed so, Jac! horrible and nonsensical, that :\
super clues and thanks got both
ni6/18, Jellen - hair louse + French for 'he'.
ni6/18: ni + a bird's sound is a ****l
how bout the al 8?
oops just got it.
al8: illegal ***** + p.t. of eat
:)
mkg - al8 is to throw someone out of the gang or the crowd and not spreak to them.
got it jac thanks anyway.
the al7 after the 8 was the hardest-to-find of the ALs for me.
how about the an 7 or six after it? dont have them yet.
got that one dc.
the only thing I could find to feel any relief about the Sudan incident was that they weren't asking that she be whipped (as they might in some places farther NE of there
MKG, they're based on the same root
huh. Radford is down past Roanoke. I thought it was closer to Richmond.
tyger - what she said when she got back into UK was this... 'I went to the Sudan for an adventure. I got more of an adventure than I anticipated!'
yup. I heard that part, too :(
my cat is such a jerk sometimes.. lexi the youngest loves laying on my friends jacket.. she left to drink water my other cat jumps on there... they have a little bed i put it by the heater she was the only one using it.. he found out she leaves .. he takes her spot lol
how beautifully understated. i was so glad she got back
what root? same as the al words or same as the an 4 above? i assume it is those 4 letters and then three but cant get the 3./
yger- you do realise that mobs were asking for her to be killed?
both al7s build on the al5/10 above
yes. but they were asking for shooting, not beheading, and not the lash. a small thing to be grateful for, I know
Thanks, finally got the ni 6/18
i see it but i cant get it.......the an 4/4 above and then i add and nothing is working. will try again.
they could have been asking for that - sharia law, you know
of course, they're not Wahhabis
first of the 2 is a double vowel, MKG
small insect starts all but the 1st an, mkg
tyger - I don't care what the f*ck way they were asking for her to be killed.... it was too extreme and did not fit the naive mistake.
oops, you've moved on, haven't you, MKG :)
Sorry about that!
ni 5/10, the last?
of course she didn't jac. she didn't deserve ANY of what happened to her
ni5/10: first part of an explosive compound
she was a good-hearted person trying to help others
Thanks, tyger
yw, jellen
oi 6/18?
oi6/18: when there's even more lubricant
more oleagenous.
Thanks, tyger
yw :)

or5/12 = or + chop a tree down or description of a rabbit with floppy ears.
pi 6/30?
I wouldn't want WD40 in any delicate parts, personally
pi6/30 is a game (french word)
add cons to preceding pi5

Thanks, tyger
yw

marc, give the cold shoulder, make feel like an outsider
happy hanukah to all who are out there celebrating it. i gave the kids gelt.
Thanks got it
lol dcseain... I had 2 of the 3... it's the bigger words are escaping me
i left some gelt at my sister's for my nephewes the other day.
Anyone who needs clues now must be gone and so should I be...
who lit the menorah tonight? i know most of these lubitch guys.
you are dismissing me, jacula?
how do you play
i did, mkg
what a good uncle you are dc. i have to send my kids and grandkids their gelt checks.
pither, see the Help link, above the chat, for rules.
No, LadyNatts.
you did?????????????? huh?????????for real? who are you dc??????????
But I still need clues.
Not at all. I'm jst off to bed 'cos it's 5.08am in uk here.
ouch... Go to BED!
sleep well, jac :)
thank you
dc are you a rabbi? or with lubitich????????
Finished, got to go, thanks all for your help. Could not hve done it without you.
'Night, Marc. x
oh, you meant down on the Mall, didn't you? :">
One sec, i'll get names
Abraham Shemtov, Menachem Felzenberg, Rabbi Levi Shemtov lit the Nat'l Menorah tonight.
ha ha ha dc. good one............good one......
anyone for e5?
I'll leave that to you, dcs. If I do it in my daiuly column... well, LOL.
oh were you on the mall dc?
i did not leave the house, but for long enough to put trash out at the curb today. :)
any clues for the ur words the 7s? only have the last word the 5.
we have a national Menorah? I'm so out of it, i haven't been to DC since 1974
en5/10 = to go into a room or place.
thanks jac!
Not gonna make it ... 40 words left... I'm dead tired and can't see a thing
en5/10 (2nd) = same first three letter plus Irish Army.
the lubovitchers put it up and have permissiion but it is funded by them not the govt. the govt buys the xmas tree and pays for elec. i dont know, maybe the govt pays to light the menorah too. not sure. anyway the lubovitchers light menorahs all over the globe.
what do the question marks to the left of the words mean
never mind
click on them pither and see the meaning
you can get definitions if you click on the :
? I mean
i'm being thick! i see they're to look up the word
Pither - they mean u can look the meaning of the word up., if you do not know it.
i just finished playing bookworm - does anyone here play that?
Yes, the Nat'l Menorah is at the South edge of the Ellipse, dates back at least a decade.
been there, done that
the ? gives definitions in a pop-up, from dictionary.com, but not all words are in that dictionary.
I still have 1/2 a dozen li's to finish
yes, I play hat but I keep it separate from here.
what is bookworm? i am into new games.......
are you referring to bookworm ("been there, done that")
what was your biggest score
dc are you involved with chabad?
in bookworm, that is
I'm back, begging for more clues.
na7 anyone clue?
re 6/18, the first?
jellen, me too but i realize i wont finish tonight.
i didn't know that, I"ll look it up
yes, American Friends of Lubavitch do it.
yes, pither, I was referring to bookworm, and I don't know what my highest score was
jellen, it's in your eye
na7. Lady is more neat anf styled by fashion icons.
Thanks, dc
re 6/18, the last?
mkg - bookworm is like this game. you get points for making long or difficult words - same values as scrabble - and when you make a word, the word disappears and the tiles move down. Certain tiles appear on fire, and if these tiles reach the bottom, the game is over.
I am not needed, cearly now, for clues. Can I be a deejay or should I simply retire?
almost like to try to court again, but one less vowel at end
bookworm is fun
back
dc, american friends of lubavitch do what? pay for menorahs? they donate and pay for everything! or should i say "we" do.........those who donate and are involved.
jac, you may deejay, retire, or as you please
very addictive. i am trying to figure out if my high score is high or normal.
Pther is MacKay form SGAtlantis,asam i! LOL
yes, mkg, until today, i'd not a clue it wasn't done by the gov't. I do remember the to-do leading up to it's first year.
welcome pither, we can all quit any time.....lol!
I might just make y9oyu all se Steve the WEraith again.
I'm not going to get it today (again).. back tomorrow... have a good day/night/morning, all

http://tinyurl.com/2oesxh
dc how did you discover it wasnt govt funded? not from me certainly..........
yes, by googling when you mentioned it, mkg.
the concept that it wouldn't be just hadn't occurred to me, though looking back, it ought to have
Ooh, I feel stupid, oh so stupid . . .
so what did google say?
dc it is important to give to them. they are a super great org.
I need the third re 6/18, not the last.
color again, jellen, as in re6 hair
