Hey - is everyone still enjoying the daily Videos?

12:32 am

yw , yes it is. *poof*

A cul-de-sac or close is a dead-end street with only one inlet/outlet. Cul-de-sac literally means "bottom of a bag" in French and Catalan. Despite seeming to be a borrowed French phrase, the expression cul-de-sac originated in England during the period when French was spoken by the English aristocracy

12:33 am

when i remember to watch them, lickety, yes.

12:33 am

lickety, the daily videos are the reason i finish the puzzles!

12:33 am

1:41 am

I thought there were salad tossers on the airline

lol - actually there is no u in the airline. Originally Queensland And Northern Teritory Air Services (I think!)

1:43 am

huh? i've found the word "santa" in the grid but it's not taking it as a word

1:44 am

that is a proper name

1:44 am

i actually flew the airline. i think it was from Western Samoa to New Hebrides or something like that

1:44 am

that not in the spirit of Xmas is it!

1:44 am

oh ok

2:01 am

yay Fran!

2:01 am

thanks muse and lynxxx. are we the only ones here?

2:01 am

lol I do that often myself Fran, concentrate on the larger ones and forget to put in the "root"

2:01 am

that answers my question, thanks dc!

2:02 am

i just reappeared, gave co-worker a primer on dog ownership.

2:02 am

yay fran!!!

2:02 am

thanks mva!

2:02 am

any of you have breed suggestions for newlyweds living in a townhouse who are planning children?

2:03 am

dog breeds, that is. :)

2:03 am

*** bang bang bang*** the sound of my head onthe keyybaord

2:03 am

lol ruru, why so hard on yourself?

2:03 am

king Charles Spaniels are great for smaller sspaces and children.. plus they have a wonderful disposition and temperament

2:03 am

LOL dc!!

2:03 am

also heard echoed in s wales ruru!

2:04 am

One of the ShitTsu mixes DC

2:04 am

that sounds good ruru

2:04 am

definitely not a jack russell

2:04 am

no no noooo

2:05 am

i agree, fran, from what i know of them.

2:05 am

my friends got one and he shredded their leather sofa!

2:05 am

no terrier breeds at all actually

2:05 am

you need lots of room for those little guys... and very tall fences

2:05 am

ty, ruru for the king charles, i'd forgotten about them.

2:05 am

too much energy

2:05 am

i recommended Welsh Springer Spaniels or Border Collies.

2:05 am

terriers, made for catching rats and digging up rabbit holes...not for babies!

2:05 am

no not Border Collies either too hyper

2:06 am

hi all

2:06 am

morning, diem!

2:06 am

i think ata and haz will recommend the spaniels, i don't know about border collies though

2:06 am

hi diem!

2:06 am

hi diem

2:06 am

some terriers like yorkies are good with children

2:06 am

true, not enough room to roam. good point, ruru.

2:06 am

Border Collies need too much space & mountains of exercise - working dogs

2:06 am

hi diem

2:07 am

they would probably keep the kids corralled though (the border collie)

2:07 am

i know from my aunt - a breeder - that welsh springers are good in the house and with kids.

2:07 am

especially if they are breeding...lol

2:07 am

could do with that at work fran!

2:07 am

that i know they do fran, as a friend w/7 acres has two to allow for parties, and the dogs keep the kids coralled in the back yard. They naturally corrall, which is useful.

2:09 am

i have no experience with indoor pets myself, but i pay close attention when i'm watching dog shows, you pick up lots of useful information. :-)

2:09 am

i grew up with, and still keep cats, curretnly have a rabbit, and have kept rats, so dogs are a bit foreign to me, thought i dogsit often.

2:10 am

i you see haz, she probably has some great insight. she has a welsh springer

2:10 am

Both terriers I had (in the past) had bitten my kids - who were actually pretty good w. dogs - and unfortunately I know personally of one wire haired fox terrier who savaged/killed a new baby. Would not mix any breed of terrier w. small children

2:10 am

wow lynxxx, that wouldn't be good for sure

2:10 am

my! ty, lynxx.

2:10 am

I must fly (w. 19 still to find) sa4.4 list...Indian tonite...bye all!

2:11 am

Morning folks.......I see its just a wee tiddler today!

2:11 am

yes, i will ask her when i see her.

2:11 am

morning, flask!

2:11 am

2:11 am

bye lynxxx

2:11 am

ciao, lynxxx! enjoy!

2:11 am

hi flask! it's a good one

2:11 am

hello flask

2:11 am

bye lynxx, and hi flask!

2:13 am

the pre-rapaelites certainly used a harmonious pallette across the board, no?

2:13 am

it appears that way doesn't it?

2:15 am

I need help with the last sa 6/18

2:15 am

hi all!

2:15 am

morning, ata!

2:16 am

hi ata!

2:16 am

hi ata!

2:16 am

ata, you can tell dc about spaniels as indoor pets

2:16 am

ruru, both sa6/18s are the sa5/10 with a consonant at the end

2:17 am

hi Ata

2:17 am

one is a plural, the other is a fruit, change the last letter

2:17 am

ty fran

2:17 am

I must have tried everything but that thanks

2:18 am

yw mva and ruru

2:18 am

i was surprised the first time that was in a grid, it's a Filipino fruit

2:18 am

spaniels as inddor pets? well they need a good run every day. apart from that, they are darlings in the house

2:19 am

ruru..one sa is a xmas man with a diff vowel at the end

2:19 am

i cant get the other

2:19 am

hi rolin

2:19 am

hey mva

2:19 am

hi rolin! change the last letter of the one you have

2:20 am

so 8 and the 6 behind it are my last ones

2:20 am

ahh..

2:20 am

ruru, extend the so6/18 for the so8, add mr. gore

2:21 am

the last so6/18 is a piece of music

2:22 am

so the so8 is before the miusic piece?

2:22 am

first so6/18 is the offspring of a picnic pest (just in case you need that one)

2:22 am

yes rolin

2:22 am

hmm

2:23 am

(male offspring of a picnic pest)

2:23 am

ty fran! again!

2:23 am

2:26 am

yay ruru!!

2:26 am

2:26 am

2:32 am

ty, ata, passed that on to my coworker :)

2:33 am

2:34 am

spaniels are utter darlings. but bouncy and demanding when they want a walk

2:34 am

oh yay for FM!

2:35 am

ty ata

2:36 am

I have Beata Beatrix by Rossetti. I have a print of it above my desk and I stare at it for too long every day

2:37 am

it's lovely ata

2:37 am

very nice, ata :)

2:40 am

I adore Rossetti utterly. But that one is my favourite. It was painted after his wife died, and has Lizzie (his wife) painted as Beatrix

2:45 am

oh thanks Fan!

2:45 am

yw flask!

2:49 am

i guess this theme is near and dear to your heart ata. :-)

2:49 am

ermmmm maybe :):)

2:50 am

Rossetti is my all-time idol. and it was the pre-raphs that showed me I wanted to draw

Oh Ata did you stay there all day and look at it?

2:50 am

yup! we used to go over there in our lunch hours and stare

Nice

I love the picture Chloe, by Chevalier Jules le Febvre

2:53 am

Morning all Happy Pre Raphelite theme day :)

2:53 am

hi FM! great theme. :-)

2:54 am

hi FM!

2:54 am

morning, Fmitch! :D

2:54 am

no "satan" or alter ego "santa"?

2:54 am

lovely theme today, i love the coordinated pallette :)

2:54 am

alas, not, Ray, i guess they're proper nouns.

But there is a sith

2:55 am

and demons and devils

2:56 am

I must say that at this point i've learned more about Harmonized Tariff Schedules than i ever wanted to know. :)

2:56 am

Glad you like the theme, my chat is hanging ;(

2:56 am

what's a sith?

2:56 am

yes, but sith, daemon, demon, devil are not by default proper nouns.

2:57 am

Fran, me eyes are closing, will continue tomorrow, and gnite all

2:58 am

sith: http://tinyurl.com/2sm25q

2:59 am

3:00 am

Don't think my chat is getting posted.

3:00 am

3:00 am

Good morning. This was a lovely grid until I got down to the final 16 (which are hiding from me).

3:00 am

hm. if i swing by store, i can get baking powder and breakfas, go home medicate cat, feed cats, sleep for a bit, get up and bake, then go to tea. Sounds doable, no?

3:00 am

3:04 am

3:15 am

morning all, any fun today?

Hi sprite

3:15 am

3:15 am

Could you tell me what the 9 starts with please?

3:16 am

that threw me, too flask as they come from different Ss.

3:16 am

hi sprite! it's a great grid today

3:16 am

Thanks DC

3:16 am

qu 8/9

3:16 am

qu9/84 diem

3:16 am

a bit whobbly inside... it is the birthday of my friend Jom, who died a little over a year ago. Somewhere between missing her terribly and feeling like celebrating her life and what she meant to me.

3:16 am

Tks dc

3:17 am

hey lady, fran *hugs* Having fun with the grid?

OH Sprite. Light a candle on a cupcake for her?

3:17 am

and fran

3:17 am

*hug* yeah, i know how that is, sprite :\

3:17 am

yvw, diem

3:17 am

yeah, something like that, lady, you got the image very well :)

3:17 am

i remember that sprite, you said she celebrated the time she had left, you should celebrate her memory.

HI Fran

3:18 am

((Hugs)) Sprite.

3:19 am

I do, but I also realise so very clearly that she is gone. No more Jom voice, no more Jom funny words, no more real life Jom. I want to celebrate but I have to cry. Ah well... we have all been there. Mourning takes time.

3:19 am

Jac! *hugssss* and thanks :)

3:21 am

does Ata already know she is a phantom today?

3:22 am

oh yes!!!

3:22 am

I hadnt noticed that!

3:22 am

not only is she a phantom, she's scattered over the whole grid!

3:22 am

hey Ata :) Thought that might stir you out of hiding ;)

3:22 am

wheeee!

3:23 am

see the sunside: we will be thinking of you the whole day, Ata, since you will keep on popping up.

3:23 am

just lurking quietly

3:24 am

and fussing hobbit

3:24 am

hobbit is doing well?

3:24 am

night all last 37 for to morrow happy babbling

3:24 am

g'night, diem!

How is hobbit?

3:25 am

3:25 am

sleep well, diem

3:25 am

ah, wonderful, Ata

3:25 am

night diem!

3:26 am

great news, ata!

3:26 am

you are all so right, this is a fun and smooth grid!

3:27 am

hey, funny, fa4/5 combo and ta5/6 combo. Animals rule today.

3:27 am

FIREWORKS!:) Which is just as well, seeing as a naked man has just dumped a huge pile of washing at the foot of the stairs. (I think it's P's way of telling me he need some clean clothes.):D

3:27 am

it's probably because there are no Rs and only 3 Cs!

3:27 am

yay jac!!!!

3:27 am

LOLLLLL Jac! Don't dress him, jump him ;)

3:27 am

LOL jac

3:27 am

congrats, Jac!

3:27 am

sounds like a pretty big hint jac. :-)

3:27 am

and congrats on firewording, of course

3:29 am

guaynábana ta4 is tastier than orange ta4

3:29 am

it sounds better too dc. :-)

3:31 am

lol Fran, so true

3:33 am

LOL. He's off to get his hair cut now after leaving me with the thought that we might have to seat 9 for dinner on Boxing Day.

3:34 am

omg... borders on criminal behaviour :) Especially after showing off his naked butt!

3:34 am

satan???? is it to early for me to be doing this or is it weird that satan isn't in the dictionary?

3:34 am

how like a partner. :D

3:34 am

lol blueruin, I have wondered about that several times. Seems the bad guy deserves a capital and is therefore not valid.

3:35 am

god, on the other hand, has no such limitations.

3:35 am

Satan is a proper noun, as is Santa.

3:35 am

weirdness

3:36 am

very proper, since they are eachother's anagrams, dc

Yah Jac

3:36 am

hah!

3:36 am

true, sprite

3:36 am

I agree, blue... join us while kicking the oddities of the enable dictionary and not bothering to try and explain them anymore, lol.

3:36 am

g'day, blueruin. (i so want to make a Smurf joke about that )

3:37 am

g'day g'day :) it's a tom waits reference

3:37 am

however anything you can muster with the smurfs being a metaphor for any societal structure would probably be sufficient

3:38 am

neat! i'll have to look it up :)

3:38 am

hold the smurf jokes until blueruin feels comfortable with us, dc... don't scare off new chatters ;)

3:38 am

the ruin of communism? the ruin of

3:38 am

middle eastern politics?

3:38 am

Seriously how can it not recognise santa!!!!!!

3:38 am

moi? scare people off? perish the thought.

3:38 am

hahaha

3:38 am

*blinks innocently*

3:38 am

i talk too much

3:38 am

Oh well, I'd better to and have a shower now and then get these clothes in the wash. After that, there's the weekly shopping to do (and the shops will be packed) and then 4 Christmas cakes to ice and decorate. Enjoy the grid!

3:38 am

*grins evilly at dc* No blueruin, you don't, it is nice to have you chatting!

3:39 am

okay awesome

3:39 am

Jac, will be thinking of you! Hope you have fun (well, after the shopping). *hug*

3:39 am

never, blue. we chat :) we share, we support. it's what we do.

3:39 am

it is probably me who scares of people more easily than dc, anyway. So don't take me seriously, grin.

3:39 am

have a great day jac!

3:39 am

have fun, jac, best with it all. :)

3:39 am

and we sulk because santa isn't recognised!

3:39 am

Byeee. xx

3:39 am

morning guys and dolls

3:40 am

*scares ofF

3:40 am

i try not to take anyone too seriously

3:40 am

hi Fish

3:40 am

hey, fishbulb, good morning

3:40 am

not to mention satan, katie

3:40 am

indeed, katie, and good morrow to you, also. :)

3:40 am

hi katie! hi fish!

3:40 am

I'm keeping in the Christmas mood blueruin :-)

3:40 am

no matter how well we know them, katie, if they come with a capital, enable pretends total ignorance

3:40 am

that's probably for the best

3:40 am

Hi dc, you well?

3:41 am

indeed, katie. you?

3:41 am

i am tired of medicating the cat, but only 8 doses left.

3:41 am

what's the trouble with your cat, dc?

3:42 am

poor kitty... and poor dc. Hope you both can leave this behind you soon

3:42 am

infection in his mouth, which we're clearing up leading to a dental visit. Seems the acid reflux did a number on his teeth.

3:42 am

Oh dc you have my symapthy. I was lucky I got liquid which was easy to give, but mari has just had to give one of her cats tablets and it was a nightmare.

3:42 am

mmm. poor kitty indeed!

3:43 am

i've a liquid, but he's begun resisting now that we're beyond mid-course. ah, well. :)

3:43 am

oh dc, my heart goes out to you. medicating cats is a nightmare! *hugs*

3:43 am

we are close to tanstaafl as well today, dc

3:44 am

It's surprising how quick they learn isn't it. Still at least you know that it's for the kitties good, even if they don't know it!

3:44 am

yes, it's gotten harder as he's getting better, as the swelling has gone down, so he can clamp his mouth again. Good that he's healing, though.

3:44 am

oh, sprite?

3:45 am

babblers seem to have cats

3:45 am

exactly, katie.

3:45 am

LOL dc can just imagine how you found out he could clamp his mouth again :-)

3:45 am

a number have dogs, also, blue, like haz and ata, and ruru

3:45 am

i have no pets :(

3:45 am

i found out when i could no longer pry it open w/the syringe. :)

3:45 am

we don't have pets, though we are considering taking a dog

3:46 am

Morning. I have a cat! Only by accident though. He was a stray who kept hanging around the garden.

3:46 am

yow that can't have been pleasant

3:46 am

There are a few fish and hamsters and some rats as well. The common link is that they rule our lives

3:46 am

he's been eating more dry than wet food since the antibiotic has been being effective. i do wonder why on that.

3:46 am

hi hydra!

3:46 am

HAH

3:46 am

but I have a cat as well ;)

3:46 am

hi hydra! your cat is interesting to say the least. :-)

3:46 am

that's how we got the 1st cat when i was child, hydra! good morning.

3:47 am

there's a few Babblers with bunny's too!

3:47 am

hydra - the cat has obviously chosen you, no doubt your life will be taken over soon.

3:47 am

I have kids, do they count?

3:47 am

i have a rabbit also.

3:47 am

awwwww, bunnies!

3:47 am

kids count sprite

3:47 am

kids learn and mature beyond the age of 3.5, sprite, so only sorta.

3:47 am

except you shouldn't really put them in cages

3:47 am

if you want to read about hydra's cat, go to her blog, good reading. :-)

3:47 am

I suppose the should really sprite :-)

3:48 am

I think so too :D

3:48 am

sprite, you made me giggle

3:48 am

giggling is good, blue ;)

3:48 am

what's your blog's address, hydra?

3:48 am

The cages was a really good point though

3:48 am

blue, it's in her profile

3:48 am

Hi sprite. And dc, atalante, Fran and blue. Hope your moggy recovers soon. Flad (my cat, aka Felix, he responds to anything, esp dinner) has a swollen shoulder following a fight with a tabby tom. We're keeping an eye on it. Glad you enjoy my blod, Fran. I'm going to add something slightly rude today.

3:49 am

It's www.toldyouiwasill.blogspot.com

3:49 am

if you click on hydra's icon, you will see her profile

3:49 am

hydra, those are the best posts. :-)

3:49 am

thanks, hydra! i'm always looking for new blogs to read.

3:50 am

i've been enjoying www.iambossy.com . i really liked her recent Ron Paul or RuPaul post.

3:50 am

mine is www.confettiinmyhair.wordpress.com but it's rarely updated

3:50 am

wow, found the biggies... now I need to know what they are!

3:50 am

oh god ron paul

3:51 am

I'd better go and do something. We have to sort out the garage, go to the tip, fix the fence which blew down yesterday and decorate the tree, so a fun day all round!!

3:51 am

I'll take a look at yours, blue.

3:51 am

fireworks!

3:51 am

What a busy day, katie! Good luck.

3:51 am

ok, nothing to do with amounts... just fruit. Shoot me.

3:51 am

thanks!

3:51 am

thanks for help...see you all tomorrow!

3:51 am

wow katie, good luck with all that!

3:51 am

yay flasks!!!

3:51 am

bye all!

3:52 am

ciao, flask! and congrats!

3:52 am

sprite, it's an australian fruit

3:52 am

bye flask!

3:52 am

katie that sounds exhausting

3:52 am

have fun w/it, katie :)

3:52 am

just found out, Fran, and realised I did know the name with a D in it. Brain is not working properly, but still, as long as I can find the words, lol...

3:52 am

bye katie!

3:53 am

out of curiosity, why do people choose to upgrade to pro?

3:54 am

stats, blue

3:54 am

the stats go away after 14 days.

3:54 am

and it's nice to support Dr. God for bringing us the game.

3:54 am

i've been considering it for days

3:54 am

and it's not much for lifetime.

3:54 am

yeah

3:54 am

it's really not a lot of money, considering, either

3:54 am

haha i just typed that

3:54 am

my computer lagssss

3:55 am

i did it to help dr_g keep the site going

3:55 am

we used to do so because we wanted to support the owner of the site! But since the real pro site came, being pro gives you access to the tile stats, the word stats, and you get a personal flag and purse next to your name

3:55 am

I JUST CLICKED THE PAY BUTTON

3:56 am

you get even to pick the color of your purse... blue, pink or a greyish green :)

3:56 am

yay blue!!

3:56 am

i feel supportive.

3:56 am

I think that should have read "... even get to..."

3:56 am

now i'm going to have to get good at this game, i've made a commitment

3:56 am

either way works, sprite, though the latter is more common.

3:57 am

i'm going to go change my colors and things

3:57 am

congrats, blue! If you fill in your profile, we can see where you are from and all :)

3:57 am

thanks, dc! I so appreciate your willingness to teach me!

3:59 am

though 'get even' is a verb so the latter is generally preferred. your context made clear that you ment get even not 'get even', but i think you understand what i'm getting at.

3:59 am

Just updated my blog with the new item, Fran.

3:59 am

absolutely. Don't get mad, get even... so the latter form is all in all preferred!

4:00 am

and i am so babble.

4:00 am

yayyyy blue! Welcome to the pros :)

4:00 am

welcome, blue!

4:00 am

cool hydra

4:00 am

let's see if my intelligence rises! thanks for the welcome :)

4:00 am

welcome to pro-dom blue!

4:00 am

nice icon and a very great quote, blue!

4:01 am

thanks, sprite :)

4:01 am

i can't remember my flickr password agh

4:02 am

cool, you're on last.fm, we have a babble group there too.

4:02 am

excellent, fran

4:03 am

and if you are on facebook: rolin started a babbler's group there as well. It is a lot of fun.

4:03 am

i'm everywhere

4:03 am

haha i feel so included!

4:03 am

on facebook it is the group: Babblers Worldwide

4:04 am

hydra, you're crazy!! love the new post. :-D

4:04 am

lol, hope it is a good feeling

4:04 am

def, sprite

4:04 am

I've been crazy for a long time, Fran! :-)))

4:05 am

and in the best of company, hydra ;)

4:05 am

crazy is a prereq, here no?

4:05 am

Thanks, sprite. Yes, I think it is, dc.

4:05 am

oh my god hydra that made me snort

4:05 am

i think it is dc, it's in the TOS somewhere

4:05 am

I'd certainly say so, dc. If not a necessity, then certainly something that helps!

hydra that's so funny, sounds like your mum had a real Liverpool sense of humour

4:07 am

hi chrissie!

4:07 am

morning, chrissie!

hi fran and everyone

4:07 am

i'm never going to look at a banana the same way again

4:08 am

hydra, i'm glad you were shaking when you took the picture of the cat. leave something to the imagination.

4:08 am

Oh, oh! You've got a Liverbird icon chrissie. I want one! Yes, we all had great cheeky Liverpudlian senses of humour, especially my gran.

4:08 am

ok, that does it... now I need to read it!

4:08 am

My gran taught me a rhyme that got me into trouble in school when I was six, and recited it in all innocence in school

4:08 am

was my description too tantalizing for you, sprite?

I had to eat dinner

4:09 am

seeing the Liverbird, i must find a Temperance Memorial icon at some point. :)

4:09 am

wb, lady

are we going to get to know this rhyme?

4:09 am

hi lady

4:09 am

It went: 1,2,3, mother caught a flea. She put it in a teapot and made a cup of tea. The flea jumped out, mother gave a shout And in came a bobby with his shirt hanging out.

4:09 am

omg LOL hydra... I am afraid you just changed my perspective of bananas drastically and permanently

4:10 am

I didn't know the significance of the half-dressed policeman at the time.

Hi Fish how are you

4:10 am

hi again infernal!

4:10 am

LOL hydra

4:10 am

hey'll never taste the same, sprite!

4:10 am

oh wow i didn't understand it until you said that, either

hydra I remember skipping to that

4:10 am

okay hydra that just made it even worse

4:10 am

great thanks lady! Though my hubby is about to go off to South Africa this afternoon for a week for work - lucky git!!

Waves I gpt distracted

4:10 am

Did you know 'the big ship sails through the alley-alley-o' as well, Chrissie?

4:11 am

lol, yes it was, blue... I try to stay away from blogs, because I spend too much time behind the computer already as it is... but this one was too good to pass up on.

4:11 am

mendicant MEN-dih-kunt, noun: 1. A beggar; especially, one who makes a business of begging. 2. A member of an order of friars forbidden to acquire landed property and required to be supported by alms. 3. Practicing beggary; begging; living on alms; as, mendicant friars.

4:11 am

Oh Fish, isn't he lucky?

Fish hope he enjoys it

yes, but I still don't see the problem with the rhyme

4:12 am

oh haha sprite it's just the nature of bananas

4:12 am

lol Chrissie

4:12 am

It was a reference to mother having an affair with a policeman. Presumably he came rushing out of the bedroom or something.

4:12 am

lol blue

4:12 am

dc why the definition

4:12 am

dc shares his odd word of the day with us :)

4:13 am

precisely, sprite :) basically, i have a bit of a random streak

4:13 am

ohhhh i was looking for it in the puzzle and thinking "hmm, no m."

4:13 am

or d for that matter

thanks hydra, i'm obviously too innocent ;-)

4:13 am

other thoughts one only has too early in the morning etc

4:13 am

he IS lucky, but its my birthday on 17th so hopefully he'll bring me back something nice as he gets back on 16th ;) i'm very jealous hehe... plus he's leaving me to deal with all the christmas visitors etc this week

4:14 am

lol blue, dc would never post a grid word in the chat on purpose. It is just sharing words and meanings, since we all love words here.

4:14 am

oh, i'd never intentionally put a grid word in the chat.

4:14 am

So was I. And I'm only assuming that's why i got told off, Chrissie. Whereabouts in Lancs are you?

4:14 am

yeah i get it now. i'm just fuzzy-headed today

4:14 am

it is never too early in the morning for that ;)

4:14 am

nah, it'll just take me five minutes to understand! XD

Up Holland

4:15 am

oh, btw, my kids and I finished reading The Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey. And we are now reading the last Harry Potter :)

4:15 am

Never been there. Is it country or town?

4:16 am

the HP will be a let-down prose-wise.

4:16 am

i agree, dc

4:16 am

only chapter 1 of book 6 was particularly well-written, IMHO.

4:16 am

I envy all those with small children at Christmas. My grown-up daughter wanted a pair of very expensive goth bondage boots and the trouble I've had getting them!

it's a village near Skelmersdale, one of the 70's new towns

4:17 am

oh yes. A too-many-words-for-everything book, as my kids already judged, lol

4:17 am

and the epilogue will make you wonder if jk's been reading too much fan-fiction

4:17 am

Nu Rock Malicia 9674 if anyone wants to look.

4:17 am

I'm thinking of leaving London and going back oop north, Chrissie.

4:18 am

I agree, dc. I have read the book already, as soon as it appeared in english. But I am sure my kids will love the book anyway.

4:18 am

http://fotos.marktplaats.nl/kopen/2/39 /z.79cc7448a1b3bf8bec5e3c535dcf811c.jp g

4:18 am

BAM! goth boots

4:18 am

You like, blue? or hate?

4:18 am

yes, i read it, if only for the story arc conclusion. The 20 years later thing was a disappointment.

4:19 am

blue, tinyurl.com is your friend in this log

4:19 am

lol, that is a dutch site, blue!

I don't think I'd like to live in London. It's semi-rural here but only half an hour from Liverpool or Manchester by car

4:19 am

My favourite TV character is Abby the goth in NCIS. I used to be a hippy. I'd probably be a goth if I'd been born a bit later.

Sorry everyone i have a gold fish brain

4:19 am

i don't like the clunkiness of the heel, but that's just because i'm small - it would look ridiculous on me. for tall boots i usually go for something slimmer. but i love that style

4:19 am

I need a volunteer to kick my butt the next time I want to enter pagan.

rubbish for public transport though

4:20 am

those are beautiful, blue!

4:20 am

ohhhh i love ncis

4:20 am

we love you for it, lady. And we like feeding the little fishie :)

4:20 am

i was a goth-punk back in the day. :)

4:20 am

yay, lady!

4:20 am

i'd have been a joy division groupie if i'd been around, hydra

4:20 am

Very handy then, Chrissie. Wish I could wear spike-heeled dominatrix boots, but I'm stuck with flats 'cos of my wonky feet.

Hydra what are yu doing?

4:21 am

Love your icon, dc. I'm a fan of Alma Tadema

4:21 am

awww hydra

4:21 am

Whaddya mean, infernal?

Hydra Abby wears lip sevice clothes

4:21 am

argh, hydra, that sucks

Hydra

http://www.lip-service.com/

4:21 am

that short, hm lady?

yep thats the one

4:22 am

I'll take a look, infernal.

4:22 am

lip service! wonderful!

4:22 am

so expensive though

And if you cant wear heels

http://www.demonia.co.uk/

OH and you ahve to be a midgit to wear it

4:23 am

fun stuff, lady

4:23 am

luckily i'm 5'1"

4:24 am

only lucky in this case :(

4:24 am

great. we might need to move to the other building in 30, if the power upgrade does not go as planned, i.e. the generators don't do what's needed.

4:24 am

I think I could fit into that scarf though

Thats what the deamonia boots are for.

http://www.pierresilber.com/ this is my fav site

4:26 am

several of my larger female friends like www.tiendahogals.com

4:26 am

Thanks for all those links, folks. I'm busy bookmarking them all.

also i love these shoes. http://www.pennangalan.co.uk/

4:27 am

omg dc, that is one incredible site! Lovely!

Hydra i love playing dress up

4:27 am

yes, well put together, nice items, great colour selection for items.

4:28 am

Thanks, dc, my friend Linda will love those.

Which one Sprite?

4:28 am

I better go save money for that site, I definitely want some of their stuff.

4:29 am

they're also one of the few places that regularly has A-line skirts.

4:29 am

I see the mark of the vampire is in the grid today

4:29 am

indeed so, hydra :)

4:29 am

an5,14? anne rice would make that applicable

4:29 am

www.tiendahogals.com, lady.

4:30 am

I have a TV friend who is into 1950s clothes and is looking for one of those net underskirts. Any ideas?

4:30 am

i think she ment fa4/5 combo

Yes. give me a sec

4:30 am

yeah i know but i like mine better

4:30 am

lestat is really annoying

4:30 am

4:31 am

I that's lovely, lady!

4:31 am

4:31 am

4:31 am

4:31 am

OMG, what a fab coat. I'd love one if I were taller.

http://www.devildoll666.com/ this is one of my friends modeling.

4:32 am

i wear this in the colder months: http://tinyurl.com/34nu5k

4:32 am

great great coat!

4:32 am

hahahahaha bubble

That is Mr Stinky my coat. I inherited him

4:32 am

infernal is tall!

4:32 am

proper noun, bubble, and good morning!

4:33 am

as established earlier, bubble, there is no lord of the underworld, either

4:33 am

cool coat dc!

4:33 am

dc, that is wonderful! My hubby would LOVE one of those! And he is almost 2 m, so it would look great on him as well

4:33 am

the theatre people running the production i was in earlier this year were drooling over it. LOL

4:33 am

that's a reasonable trade blueruin

4:34 am

hi bubblepop

4:34 am

hi bubble

this url has one of those flufy underskirts

http://tinyurl.com/2nxm9w

4:34 am

i'm just shy of 2M and bought the long, which comes to my ankles; i trip on it if my posture is not good.

4:34 am

but it's warm :)

4:35 am

babble statement: enable has done a far better job in getting rid of satan than all the christian churches together

4:35 am

LOL sprite

4:35 am

LOL sprite

4:35 am

jinx, dc!

I am close to 5ft 9

4:36 am

that's how tall my dad was, lady.

4:37 am

how is it that, while at a loss for words in babble, typing sounds you find in the grid occasionally works and that is how i learn things

4:37 am

I am 1.68 m, and have long legs and a very short upper body... nothing with a waist looks good on me. And I am fat at that. But that site dc just gave me, has it all for me! I NEED to save money. A lot of it.

4:37 am

one of the wonders of babble indeed, blue

4:37 am

i'm happy for you, sprite

4:38 am

why is that, blue?

4:38 am

one never knows what will work in this game, blue. I type things in regardless of language, and am amazed at what it takes.

4:38 am

your clothes predicament and solution

4:38 am

yesterday's etui/etwee was fun :D

4:38 am

Thanks, infernal. I've just sent the link to him/her.

4:39 am

but seriously. to5,10? whaaaaattttttttt?

I have a thing for shoes

Hydra if they google loligoth clothes they may have luck

4:39 am

"let's go get some shoes!"

4:39 am

--youtube

4:40 am

Thanks, Never heard of loligoth. It's a whole new interesting world for me.

4:40 am

ah, I see what you mean. Yes, I love to dress in flowing lines and colourfull combos. I feel very happy in my body, don't mind being fat and as a consequence, people always claim I cannot be as heavy as I really am, lol.

4:40 am

loligoth will fit right in with your inner goth, hydra

4:41 am

Well, I have to go for now. See you all later.

4:41 am

ciao, hydra!

4:41 am

bye hydra!

4:41 am

Thanks for all your help, everyone. x

Later hydra

4:41 am

bye hydra!

4:42 am

bye hydra *hug*

4:45 am

still drooling over that site, dc! I better start finding a conversion rate, lol

I love perri sibblers as its a transgender site so the sizes of clothes and shoes are human size

4:46 am

US$ is weak now, so it's to your bene even more than usual, sprite!

4:46 am

are lickety's clues alphabetically ordered?

4:46 am

oh help! Just discovered I can pay with cc or through paypal. This is wayyyy too seductive...

4:46 am

they are, blue

4:47 am

yes, blue

4:47 am

danke

4:47 am

don't go running up more debt than you can cover, sprite!

4:47 am

bitte

4:48 am

ugh these As are driving me nuts

Blue i am doing them too at the mo

4:49 am

i seem to have eight out of eighteen

4:49 am

Heads up: we're having a power blip at 11:00 GMT/05:00 Grid, so i may disappear

Also today i went clothes shopping for new gym outfits. I think i may have lost a dress size. My plan of attack is get to goal weight then spend the cash on designer brand gym cloths

4:50 am

I am controlling myself, dc... would love to order from the site, but cannot justify it right now. Though I really need clothes, lol, but I don't have the money.

4:50 am

good show lady

4:50 am

blue, are you using IE as browser?

4:51 am

nah, firefox

took me ages to get anything as every thing is hipster pants.

4:51 am

i only use IE because Expert uses it. I use Firefox mostly.

4:51 am

why?

4:51 am

well, at work only IE :(

4:51 am

ah, ok. Lickety has made a wonderful browser for babble, with all the help available in one click, but it works only for IE.

4:52 am

awww!

Blue do you have the aq water words

4:52 am

hmmm

4:52 am

i might be able to use it with the ie in firefox tab plugin!

4:52 am

yeah, i have all the aq :(

4:53 am

no al though lady

4:53 am

if you want to try it, all you have to do is write lickety an email (addy is on the help page you are using right now). And install IE of course, lol.

4:53 am

actually, blue, it pulls up IE on my box, even though Firefox is default, but it makes the browser invisible, as it's an embedded app.

there is an AL?

4:53 am

if running Win, IE is installed, if ignored.

4:53 am

4 of them, lady.

There is an AL not soprano but al 4 n 5

4:53 am

what do you mean dc?

4:54 am

and there is an an5/14 meaning deep fear.

4:54 am

oh god i'm dumb. al not soprano should have been a given for me!

4:54 am

IE is integral to Win98 and later, except in Europe. So, even if you're not using IE, it's on your machine. Babble Expert is an embedded app, meaning an application that runs in a browser. Lickety, being skilled, makes so you don't know it's IE.

Its grid blindness no worries

4:55 am

you're a singer, blue?

4:55 am

ohhhhhh okay i just didn't understand the last part. that it was an actual browser.

4:55 am

thanks, dc!

4:56 am

yes, sprite

4:56 am

IE - Internet Explorer. Sorry, 15 years tech helpdesk, i fall into jargon sometimes :)

what is the lenght of the Al please i have 2 4s and a 5

4:56 am

haha grid blindness lady

4:56 am

al 5,4,5,4

4:56 am

al5 - 4 - 5 - 4, middle 2 are a combo

thanks

4:56 am

or what dc said

4:57 am

i use Expert, and am quite thrilled w/it.

4:57 am

i wish LJ would make up it's mind and use GMT or Local, and not mix them up seemingly randomly.

4:57 am

agreed, dc

4:57 am

I use the Expert only for the wonderful Chat or Add function. I love it... when I type in one word, it goes to the list. If I type more words, it goes to the chat.

I missed the by myself one

4:58 am

lol lady... that's because it is not there

4:58 am

hee, where's ata, i just played a great bingo in our game!

4:58 am

you mean the move al one?

Oh blue are you a Tom fan? I love that guys voice

4:58 am

there is only the together with someone/something one.

4:58 am

5:00 am

5:27 am

5:27 am

I worked out that i get to three people when it comes to 6 degrees

5:27 am

wonky internet :(

5:28 am

5:28 am

6 degrees of kevin bacon?

5:29 am

i was talking to myself in the chat box

5:29 am

it's being verrrrrrrrry slow for me right now

Bonkler i have found that most of my friends know each other on some level. My B.f works at a place my dad worked at in the 70s. My dads boss J son now is my b.fs boss

5:30 am

sigh. work wants me to go throught training on how to use an app that i've used for 10 years, and supported for 4 of them.

5:30 am

i wonder if i have to.

5:30 am

that sounds excruciating

5:31 am

that's neat lady.

5:31 am

well, i work for the US Gov't, blue ;)

5:31 am

lo 6/24?

5:31 am

of COURSE

5:31 am

my father worked for the goverment for thirty-five years. he is so, so happily retired now

5:32 am

and an indef article to the 4/6, phan

5:32 am

my dad worked for gov't too, but liked what he did.

5:32 am

lucky.

5:33 am

thnx, I wondered if it built on that, should have tried something

5:34 am

what about the 5 after it?

5:35 am

dc, i just looked at your latest lj post, and it was quite depressing.

Blue i am at lj too under herdarkmistress

5:36 am

i'm dcseain.livejournal.com

5:36 am

more whistful from my POV, sorry that it left you sad, blue

5:36 am

is there a babble lj community?

5:37 am

it didn't leave me so much as sad as...well, it seemed a bitter post.

5:37 am

lo5/10, phan, is plural, lo5/14, add indeffinite artilcle to lo4/6.

5:37 am

or did i misunderstand your question, phan?

5:38 am

how do you get the qu 8?

5:38 am

hm. interesting. It left me a bit teary, more over grandpa's alzheimer's, and it made me miss grandma.

5:38 am

qu8 - begginnig of Austrailian airline + kitchen implement

5:38 am

qu9 is plural

5:39 am

i can imagine.

5:39 am

I got the lo 6 (+ indef artic to lo 4/6) I need the lo 5/14 after that

5:40 am

lo5/10 is plural of lo4/4 before it. only 1 lo5/14.

5:40 am

lo 4/4 is sort of like ' a bunch of'

5:40 am

ok the lo 5/14 is a plural

5:41 am

i hadn't gotten lo44 yet, but i had lo510. whodathunkit.

Not sure on that count blue

5:41 am

I had the 5/10 already; thnx DC

5:41 am

oh, lo5/14 is plural, yes.

5:41 am

kitchen implement

5:41 am

well yeah

5:41 am

wait. kitchen implement???

5:42 am

typical for many of us, blue. i find a 7 or 8, but not the 4 root frequently.

5:42 am

cant see the kitchen implement for qu8 sigh

5:42 am

yes, like tweezers, the kitchen implement.

5:42 am

hi tanja

5:42 am

hello

5:45 am

5:45 am

(i'm skilled at mildly obscure clues, which others describe as 'elegant') lol

5:45 am

1st al: move al5/14

5:45 am

i guess tweezers are kind of elegent

5:45 am

last, not the 1st line, but the al4/4, are playing this round.

5:46 am

actually no they're just obscure as hell.

5:46 am

as i said :D

5:46 am

al4/4- there is a key next to your space bar - pluralize it

5:47 am

I LOVE BABBLE

Whats up Blue

6:12 am

apparently it's preposterous to think i'm a pain for asking for help with easy words. at least that's what i gathered from montreal...?

6:13 am

or at least i hope so because i'm probably going to be asking for silly help for daaaays

6:13 am

do you need anymoe clues

6:13 am

we ALL do at times Blue - and most of us are simply happy to provide clues...

6:14 am

hi, back for the last few.

6:14 am

hello there sprite ! - how are you today ?

6:14 am

asking for help is never a pain, at least not as long as one uses the help that is given, lol. Feel free to ask!

6:14 am

hi sprite!!!

Hi Sprite

6:15 am

I am here for another couple if any clues are needed

6:15 am

6:27 am

squanto is another one

6:27 am

my hubby and kids have not realised it is Jom's birthday. Hubby is gone for the day and I really feel kinda lonely in my sadness. It helps to share it here. Also phoned with another very close friend of Jom's and that helped too.

Sprite why dont you get together with friend of Joms to have a tea/coffee together and have a laugh about the good things

6:29 am

i like that herin - great idea !

6:30 am

wish I could, lady. Her friends are all at the other side of the country, and some of them are coming together tonight and celebrate Sinterklaas, which was a very special holiday for our Jom. It is in her honor that they celebrate it on the 8th this year. I can't be part of that, and that is ok, but nevertheless I feel a little shut out. No logic there, lol, just feelings.

6:30 am

good morning everyone

6:30 am

hi carlee

6:30 am

hey sprite

6:30 am

being sad AND lonely is the worst sprite...

6:30 am

hi herin ..hi mntreal

SPrite can you msn with the friends? or skype or something

HUGS

6:31 am

{{{carlee}}}

6:31 am

good morning Carlee - how are u ?

Carlee hello

6:31 am

hi carlee

6:31 am

{{ANNIE}}... I guess am o k ...thanks..hi {{peri}}

6:31 am

so very very true, montreal. Guess that is why it hurts my hubby does not realise. It IS on the calendar...

6:31 am

(((((((((carlee)))))))))))

6:31 am

just had a long phonetalk with one of them, lady. Which was great.

Thats good

6:32 am

not liking this grdi

6:32 am

http://www.growinguphockey.com/Your_St ories.php

6:32 am

*grid* even

6:33 am

i'm sure your hubby not mentionning it wasn't intentional Sprite - emotionnally, you were closer to Jom by the sounds of it...

Cool Carlee

6:34 am

I know, montreal, and when he realises, he will feel bad for it. I am not blaming him, just feeling very lonely in feeling sad today. Not wanting to bother him thought, as long as he is outdoors and having fun.

6:35 am

{{{{sPRITE}}} men can be big dopes...I know it doesn't help...but I can sympathize from other dopy men things

6:35 am

((((((((sprite)))))))

6:36 am

can never have too many hugs :-)

6:36 am

we are such a caring community here

6:36 am

yeah, so true, carlee. It is just that they focus on other things than we. Not better and not worse, just different.

6:36 am

MEN and DOPY things in the same sentence ???? it's near impossible carlee !!!...lol

6:36 am

we are, peri, and it really helps in times like these, I swear.

6:36 am

and they are dopes...

6:37 am

yeap..it does...

6:37 am

men and women just do not think the same about things

6:37 am

*grins at montreal* I am a great admirer of men... and sometimes they drive me right up the curtains. Sounds familiar, right? ;)

Sprite you probably wont know if he didn't see it on the calendar *sometimes they other species don't see things as clear as day* HIUGS

6:38 am

I didn't say I don't admire them....especially a good strong naked back....with a sunset behind them.....that...is a nice pic to admire

6:38 am

true herin... and sometimes they see things and will let you feel your emotions without a feeble attempt at consolation...

6:38 am

can someone please clue the 8's and 9's or at least tell me what they start with

6:38 am

exactly. If I want his support, all I have to do is say it is Jom's birthday and I am having a bad time with it, and he will be there for me. It is a very female thing to sit quiet and wait for the man to come forward himself, and feeling that if she needs to remind him, she doesn't want his support anyway.

Carlee how is hubby?

6:39 am

right on sprite !

6:39 am

woot carlee! Tasty pic that paints ;)

6:39 am

ca8 is one of them peri..not any further through the grid then that

6:39 am

annoying... grumpy... demanding...high maintenance

Oh :( At least hes home even if you want him to shush for a minute

6:40 am

thanks carlee, looking but don't see it

6:40 am

montreal: if that is what you can do, it is worth a thousand consolations sometimes. Just letting feelings be there, acknowledge them and not try to uplift them can work miracles.

6:40 am

me either

6:40 am

so and qu are the others, I think

6:41 am

will look sprite, thanks

6:41 am

:) sprite

ca8 sounds like the driver of a ship but with another consonant in the middle

6:42 am

still missing the so myself, just remembered from the chat earlier. My longest so is a 6, lol.

6:42 am

peri... lid to a pen/marker+ ****d up at attention

6:43 am

then plural it for the 8

6:43 am

ah, there it is, it actually builds on one of the so6 words!

how about ca8= hats (note plural), plus what you get when you sit out in the sun (plural)

6:44 am

not stuck enough yet, hawk, but tyvm. (-:

8:08 am

i will make it a point to introduce the so6.18 and so8 words into my vocabulary today

8:08 am

i'll just use those words casually in passing and see if anyone notices i'm speaking in gibberish

8:09 am

lol, hawk... if you go around using grid words, people will indeed call you a "Babbler" !

8:09 am

... and call the paddy wagon pronto

lol

8:09 am

i can impress them with some of those q words i haven't heard of previously as well

8:10 am

lol

8:10 am

do you play Scrabble, hawk? I have enjoyed using some of the babblets against my opponent, and in that way Babble has helped

8:10 am

i do play scrabble- these words are helpful

8:11 am

i used to play literati on the online yahoo games

8:11 am

except i found that the chatting on the yahoo games was rather annoying

8:11 am

*Fireworks*!

8:11 am

wtg merk congrats

8:11 am

many x-rated conversations, attempts to "cyber," and just general insults being thrown.. kind of took away from the game

8:12 am

only trouble is... the Scrabble dictionary and the enable dictionary (used on this site) often differ.. wow, congrats to Merk!

8:12 am

where do i find scrabble that's good?>??

8:12 am

Good morning all ... and fireworks!

8:12 am

here the chat is useful and social, i guess because here you aren't playing an opponant

8:12 am

the chats contained things that would shock Oprah

congrats merk

8:12 am

congrats merk

8:13 am

whereas chat when you are competing can get annoying and be a distraction

8:13 am

i agree- the chats here are wonderful.. i guess the opponent thing had something to do with it

8:13 am

have never tried literati, but have seen it mentioned in chat

fireworks for ne

8:13 am

I didn't realize my first transmission went through. I'm having trouble with my connections today ... as usual when away from home.

8:13 am

yay, sheryl!!!

ty merk

8:13 am

congrats Merk and Sheryl

congrats sheryl

8:14 am

i haven't noticed trolls here yet

8:15 am

sooner or later, one will come al*** :-(

8:15 am

shall we try to coax them out now?

8:16 am

TROLLS MAKE YOURSELVES KNOWN AND THEN LEAVE THE CHAT FOREVER

most ship same day as order and arrive within a few days

8:54 am

humm interesting

I ordered items last weekend and received the last of it yesterday, joanne.

8:54 am

I know I should support the local economy and indie shops, but online shopping is convenient and less expensive.

8:56 am

wow all the comforts of home

8:56 am

It is SO much easier, and I can even have stuff mailed right to people that live out-of-town.

8:57 am

beats fighting the crowds

8:58 am

I don't like malls--crowds, idiots, etc.

Ugh...I made the mistake of shopping my first and last black friday this year...never again.

8:59 am

Poor Nonnie---now you have post-traumatic stress disorder. We are here for you, there, there, now.

9:00 am

no idiot tennagers with guns online

omg Ata for sure!

Wasn't that terrible?

9:01 am

Yes, that video and info are very disturbing. It is mostly the teens and young adults that make me sad and scared for the future of society.

lol, scrabbs...online shopping is so much more efficient.

9:02 am

Yes, click, click, shopping cart, checkout, done. And no cranky checkout people either.

9:32 am

lol hurshy, I was thinking that earlier

9:32 am

i know!

9:32 am

Well good morning/afternoon all.

9:33 am

hazzmatazz!

9:33 am

'Tis I.

9:34 am

how's the injured one?

9:34 am

I should be purposeful and find words but I feel more like a rest.

9:34 am

hi haz

9:35 am

The injured one is putting her paw to the ground now, so progress has been made.

9:35 am

got to get the important things out of the way first!

9:35 am

oh good!

9:35 am

The weather is so horrible that I've got two good excusesnot to venture out again.

9:35 am

any more funny funny jokes about it?

9:36 am

No, he hasn't threatened her with anything toxic since.

9:36 am

oh no, today is a stay firmly inside day

9:36 am

is there a ps word?

9:36 am

nope

9:37 am

I've done my grocery shopping, put it away, helped with a charity collection and watched people beavering about. I need some rest and relaxation.

9:37 am

you sure do!

9:37 am

beavering? is that like faffing?

9:38 am

No! Faffing is purposeless, beavering is the opposite.

9:38 am

beavering is much more indurtious

9:38 am

industrious even LOL

9:38 am

Is beavering not a recognised verb in US?

9:38 am

ah, i see.

9:38 am

thats amusing. cos you have beavers and we don't

9:38 am

not that i'm aware of. we have a... um... less than nice connotation for the word beaver.

9:39 am

if you don't have beavers why are they in narnia?

9:39 am

Anything with a double vowel or consonant is slightly lazier - faff, pootle, rootling.

9:39 am

we dont tend to have fauns or evil queens either

9:40 am

And now I'll start to think of all the exceptions to the rule that I've arbitrarily made up.

9:40 am

not true, you have had the occasional evil queen, haven't you?

9:40 am

we do, however, have turkish delight

9:40 am

no, I think all our queens have been fairly nice. At least compared to the kings

9:40 am

but beavers are more ordinary than fauns.

9:40 am

And Pakistani Rapture in the shape of Imran.

9:40 am

why don't you have beavers anyway? what happened to them?

9:41 am

they never got here

9:41 am

I dont think

9:41 am

likely story

9:41 am

They applied for British citizenship but couldn't remember all the answers to the questions.

9:41 am

never managed to swim over the Atlantic

9:41 am

i smell a scandal

9:41 am

a cover up

9:41 am

what did the brits really do with all their beavers??

9:41 am

Blame FM.

9:41 am

we have otters!

9:42 am

we never had beavers!

9:42 am

Did we kill them to make hats for soldiers. Atalante?

9:42 am

me thinks the lady doth protest too much

9:42 am

oh myabe we did. they became extinct in the 16th century

9:43 am

i knew it!!

9:43 am

The exact date of the beaver's disappearance from Scotland is unknown, but it was certainly still present in the 12th century, when excise duty was collected on the export of its pelt. Written records indicate that it may have survived in small numbers at a few locations until the 16th century.

9:43 am

The beaver was hunted almost to extinction for its fur and the pain-relieving properties of its anal gland secretions. 6 European beavers weree released into the wild in 2005.

9:43 am

Aha - the authority arrives.

9:43 am

sorry, I thought it was one of those critters that never made it across here

9:44 am

Hello :)

9:44 am

Hello FMitch - I've learned something new today.

9:44 am

heyyy

9:44 am

hello

9:44 am

haz tried to blame you for the disappearance of british beavers, fmitch!

9:45 am

The european beaver is a different species, I believe. But there are some still in Europe.

9:45 am

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/glo ucestershire/4380276.stm Hello Haz, good to see you, and Ata and hurshy. Ah well hurshy it is my job :)

9:45 am

well who else should we blame!

9:45 am

Who indeed!

9:46 am

are there more than 2 sq's?

9:46 am

typical, we get the little brats in gloucestershire

9:46 am

no, hurshy, there aren't

9:47 am

Don't know hurshy the hint and clue shop is shut today

9:47 am

I don't think.... or maybe there are... I don't have all those S's

9:47 am

Are you being all sensible again, FMitch?

9:48 am

Just the two sq words.

9:48 am

My goodness but we have had some rain today. Moi sensile, should I do you think?

9:48 am

*sensible sigh

9:48 am

this time next week I'll be in france

9:49 am

Well, if you have been sensible up to now, we can get it knocked out of you pretty quickly. The rain is a pain.

9:49 am

Smug.

9:49 am

*starts playing the requisite accordion music*

9:49 am

we;re going over for lunch

9:49 am

ven smugger

9:49 am

You will Ata? Which part and for why?

9:49 am

Or maybe not smug. Not if you get caught up in French strikes. They love their jours de conge and their greves.

9:50 am

Be sure to order something with raspberry and framboise sauce.

9:50 am

:)

9:50 am

just for lunch over near Calais. JUst to show American friends a smidge of France. and to go food shopping for Christmas

9:50 am

hurshy is going to have some at her Christmas party.

9:51 am

and your meat bien cuit (sp)?

9:51 am

cuit is correct.

9:51 am

bien cuit? pah! bleu!

9:51 am

Anyone have a thought about the first qu, the four letter one?

9:51 am

Thank you Ma'am

9:51 am

hello all - was looking back on beaver conversation and wonder about "pain relieving anal secretions" wonder if that is where the saying "pain in the ar**" come from

9:51 am

is it followed by mire, sally?

9:52 am

i know the word but dont know any definition for it sorry

9:52 am

ah, good clue, hurshy

9:52 am

Hi ursh

9:52 am

Can't be. There is no i.

9:52 am

qu4 - usually followed by something that renders it marsh-like.

9:52 am

we go to this place: http://www.restaurantducap.com/ its in a little village on the coast. looks very 70s but has gorgeous food and the fattest spaniel in existnece

9:52 am

i don't mean in the grid... i just mean... in a word

9:52 am

Sorry. You're right of course.

9:53 am

Is the spaniel being fattened deliberately?

9:53 am

good heavens, what happened in france in the 70's? was it like elsewhere? i can't picture that.

9:53 am

Horreur!

9:53 am

I think so! No really, I feel so sorry for this poor spaniel. Its a Springer, but literally barrel like. He wanders round the restaurant getting fed

9:53 am

quags

9:54 am

France in the late 60's had lots of students being militant. Did that carry on into the seventies?

9:54 am

Sorry. Dumb.

9:54 am

no but like i mean in terms of the horrid fashions and things

9:54 am

yes. pretty awful I think

9:54 am

jeepers.

9:55 am

In the seventies we had the arrival of the maxi skirt, bell-bottom trousers and the hippy, colourful look.

9:55 am

But then punk arrived in the late seventies and I was able to sport a pink mohican.

9:55 am

and we had the arrival of me!

9:55 am

70s was also blocky concrete architecture-wise wasn't it? how did that work with the hippy style!

9:55 am

and me!

9:56 am

I'd been around for years. Not so smug.

9:56 am

Haz, you ... pink, hair ... *faint*

9:56 am

qu 60 and 84 pls

9:56 am

dun dun dun... the dreaded 14!!

9:56 am

70's architecture didn't work, full stop. They're pulling lots of it down.

9:57 am

The pink mohican was a joke, just to get a reaction.

9:57 am

photo?

9:57 am

noooo 70s was not good building wise. not good at all

9:57 am

are turd blossoms a condition precedent to horse feathers?

9:57 am

anybody/

9:58 am

turd... blossoms...?

9:59 am

qu5/16 + to5/14

9:59 am

Rhubarb plants love horse manure....

9:59 am

Turd Blossom, according to partisans of Karl Rove and George W. Bush, is a Texan term for a flower which grows from a pile of cow dung

10:00 am

ohhh... wait, there are still partisans of rove and bush?

10:00 am

i got the 84 qu

10:00 am

I was living in France in the early 70s!

10:00 am

i thought they had alienated everybody

10:00 am

Speaking of George W Bush, why did he never get any lessons on how to deliver a speech?

10:00 am

and the other qu please

10:01 am

I pretended to be Canadian!

10:01 am

i think he did, haz...

10:01 am

So then you can tell us exactly how it was, Une.

10:01 am

He did, you should have seen him w/o the lessons :)

10:01 am

60

10:01 am

doublethinkers suffer from panglossiam disorder

10:01 am

if you've seen the friends episode where phoebe tries to teach joey some french...

10:01 am

did it work, une? pretending to be canadian?

10:01 am

My word. There was a little bit of him shown at the time of the Queen's visit to Washington. He split up a sentence and made nonsense of the speech.

10:02 am

I LOVE that episode! LOL

10:02 am

do you think our election hoopla just starts earlier and earlier, or is the earliness a reflection of how much we long to get rid of the incumbent?

10:02 am

it definitely started MUCH earlier this time!

10:03 am

the other big qu word clue please

10:03 am

Haz, we all cringe every time he opens his mouth . . .

10:03 am

*hopes nobody noticed use of word*

10:03 am

:-D

10:03 am

*Brushes hurshys word undr the carpet out of view*

10:03 am

I knew he wasn't great, but that was awful! Everything is said in the same monotone.

10:04 am

and then he has that horrid smug grin on his face ALL the time, even when he's talking about people dying

10:04 am

if he could just stop THAT, that would be something.

10:04 am

and is soooo patronizing when anyone dares question his policies . . .

10:04 am

my view is that campaigns are used to speak volumes about gotchas that result in milquetoast melodramas

10:04 am

gotta go... bbs

10:05 am

the best one recently was when he couldn't pronounce the Israeli and Palestinian delegates names

10:05 am

Yes. That's why I can't take seriously anything that he says, because you're waiting for a little snicker at the end.

10:05 am

I know!!!!

10:05 am

brabble are you practicing your lewis carroll impression or something?

10:05 am

qu 45 please

10:06 am

I would be fairly certain that milquetoast would be served in Cranford.

10:06 am

greetings babblers

10:06 am

Crawford?

10:06 am

Indubitably!

10:07 am

hey, blueruin--don't think we've met--welcome!

10:07 am

hi blue

10:07 am

i don't believe i've met any of you yet. i'm rather new

10:07 am

i have on occasion been unjustly accused of being deliberatedly obtuse

10:07 am

Cranford. The most delicious TV series. We all want to go and live there.

10:07 am

HELLO??????????????

10:07 am

*shy hello to blue*

10:07 am

Oh Uni, Cranford, the BBC doing period drama, absolutely wonderful series

10:07 am

and my addiction is starting to show through. i'm on break from class, just trying to get a few words in before going back :X

10:07 am

Hello blueruin - have to read your profile....

10:07 am

ooohhh, sorry! thought we were still talking about Shrub!

10:08 am

MLF please don't shout Welcome blue :)

10:08 am

No - sorry, it was a rather rapid change of subject, wasn't it? It was the mention of milquetoast by BR that set me off.

10:08 am

your dog is incredible, haz

10:08 am

sorrry

10:08 am

MLF, if I don't give you a clue, it's because I don't have the word yet . . .

10:08 am

hi hi mitch

10:08 am

hits self on head

10:08 am

:0(

10:08 am

smug dog time!

10:09 am

Isn't she though? She's great fun, 7 year old Welsh Springer spaniel.

10:09 am

i'm so jealous!

10:09 am

my kittens are great too! only their pics ain't up cause i have to have my nephew up

10:10 am

i have such pet coveting problems

10:10 am

"the cats are royal" haha hurshy

10:10 am

babblers seem to be owned by their pets

10:10 am

OOOO I forgot to say, its Hobbit's birthday today!

10:10 am

Atalante - keep a tight hold of Hobbit and SIlverclaw!

10:10 am

You can do like I have blue and adopt one or two from Babble

10:10 am

Happy Birthday to Hobbit - how old is she?

10:11 am

Happy Birthday to Hobbit!

10:11 am

Yay Hobbit

10:11 am

does theft count as adoption

10:11 am

happy birthday dear hobbit, happy birthday to you!

10:11 am

Hi, You would think we could be allowed santa so near to Christmas

10:11 am

You should ask Madonna about that one, blue.

10:11 am

LOL no blue!

10:11 am

because if i see any more cute animals today some grand theft kitty might have to occur

10:12 am

...madonna? did madonna steal puppies???

10:12 am

what is the third 8 besides the c and the q?

10:12 am

ye gods i'm sure my professor's back by now

10:12 am

so8 - add Mr Gore to a resounding type word

10:13 am

i need to go take a test! wish me luck

10:13 am

byr blue gl

10:13 am

Good luck!

10:13 am

ty

10:13 am

good luck ms. blue

10:13 am

and watch out, this might be my alibi to come steal your kittens

10:13 am

No, Madonna didn't so much steal puppies as adopt a child VERY quickly - all the best with the test.

10:13 am

byee

10:13 am

tyty

10:14 am

she's SIX! (oops weird chat lag)

10:14 am

now i'm stuckish.

10:14 am

It hasn't been right since this morning Ata.

10:14 am

So Spangle is just over a year older, then.

10:14 am

having probls hursh?

10:15 am

yup! The Elder Spaniel of Babbleland

10:15 am

no, just stuckish.

10:15 am

Elder as in village elder

10:15 am

on the grid hursh?

10:15 am

yesh.

10:15 am

Let's hope the grid rather than a qu** mire.

10:16 am

me too hurshy

10:16 am

Because then we'd need tractors and trained men and all sorts of things to get her heaved out.

10:16 am

aha! a word! i found a word!

10:16 am

a momentary lull before resumption of inspiration

10:16 am

lie down quickly!

10:16 am

TRACTORS??? how big d'you think i am?

10:16 am

what does that mean haz?

10:17 am

its sticky stuff!

10:17 am

Do you have to spread your weight evenly in marshland?

10:17 am

according to bear grylls, yes

10:17 am

We'd need tractors because health and safety rules would forbid us hurting our backs.

10:17 am

yup you're meant to lie down on your back if you get into difficultires

10:17 am

i tried to get my family into man vs. wild at thanksgiving time but my sister couldn't handle the eating sheep eyeballs bit.

10:18 am

I suppose lying down on your front would be counter-productive. You couldn't shout for help just so well.

10:18 am

bear went on his front, so that he could then crawl out

10:19 am

OK. This canoeist guy who vanished. He wanted to see his sons so flew back to England and handed himself in. Why not just send them tickets out to Panama????

10:19 am

ca 36 and ca 50 please

10:19 am

Was Bear Gryll not found out - sleeps in five star hotels at night.

10:19 am

maybe his sons didn't care to see him, ata?

10:20 am

he deserves it after the stuff he does, haz.

10:20 am

The whole story is incredible, Atalante. He had been living in England with his wife for years before going to Panama. They''ve been terribly deceitful.

10:20 am

ca 7 --- hats and skin browning; pl

10:20 am

Yes, but he sleeps in these hotels when he's supposed to be roughing it. So the rumour goes, I know nothing, though, unlike Manuel, it's not because I'm from Barcelona.

10:21 am

a word, i found another word!

10:21 am

mlf....ca* what you where on your head, then ****d UP

10:21 am

well i don't believe it.

10:21 am

hurshy me too i found a few by accident

10:21 am

nasty rumours spread by the jealous, i'd say.

10:22 am

I'm not sure where these five star hotels are in the midst of nowhere.

10:22 am

they would have to chopper him in and out.

10:22 am

this grid is much too short and must to unchallenging

10:23 am

Well, I suppose it's possible. After the case of the disappearing and reappearing canoeist, anything's possible.

10:23 am

Just come in on the middle of this Haz what made me laugh was that he came home from Panama because he was ired of pretending he was gay????!!!

10:23 am

yes really! the whole story is something you'd think unbelievable in a story

10:24 am

Oh, I hadn't heard that twist to the story. FMItch - have you done anything about the film rights?

10:24 am

brabble, did you use the list? if you think a grid is going to be too short you can always go without.

10:24 am

phae which direction. i got the first part of it 3 letters or 4 though to see if i can go the right direction for that word or not lol?

10:24 am

what the betting someone is already planning a film!!

10:24 am

Been busy negotiation Haz, been busy!

10:24 am

i want to come back from panama because i'm tired of pretending to be gay!

10:25 am

Excellent, FMitch. I should start working on a script, shouldn't I?

10:25 am

mlf, pluralize what you wear on your head, then add what the sun does to your skin

10:25 am

TWO words, i found two words!

10:25 am

HAve you finished the last one yet?

10:25 am

going without is must more challenging

10:25 am

woohoo hurshy

10:25 am

how many left, hurshy smurshy?

10:25 am

*grumbles*

10:25 am

No, I haven't incorporated the cake scene yet. I should do that, shouldn't I?

10:25 am

oh, um, 6 left, ata

10:26 am

i have 72 words now

10:26 am

Oh deffo :) and don't forget the cameo role for the tenrec

10:26 am

I think our fav cake critic should have a cameo

10:27 am

If we have the tenrec, I suppose we'll have to have a disclaimer that no tenrecs were hurt in the filming of this piece.

10:27 am

ROFL

10:28 am

I think you're right, Atalante. You can't have a cake without a critic.

10:28 am

Oh BTW MrTenrec does not want to be associated with any of the cutsey wootsey scenes in the petshop prior to the "deed"

10:28 am

we could have a stuffed tenrec to avoid animal rights

10:28 am

that just looks very very very realistic

10:28 am

I violate generalities as a general rule

10:28 am

and now Spangle can hold up an injured paw to look even more cute!

10:29 am

Starts to sharpen the red pencil again ...

10:29 am

Could the tenrec have caused the injury? A tough, streetwise tenrec?

10:29 am

quite possibly, I would think

10:30 am

With his punk hairstype, see what you can come up with.

10:30 am

i don't usually have this much trouble with a's... hmmm

10:30 am

ooh there's one!

10:30 am

there's another!

10:30 am

Okay, so a tenrec, a cake, a cake critic.

10:31 am

sounds good

10:31 am

I can see the oscars now!!

10:31 am

what is a tenrec anyway? and why is there cake, i think i missed something

10:31 am

*gasp*

10:32 am

al 5 - is usually shorter that an ab 5

10:32 am

this reminds me of mr. roger's "operas" ... sweaters, bubbles, wind...

10:32 am

hurshy look at my flikr pics for the spikey hedgehog from Madagasgar

10:32 am

The tenrec is the Madagascar hedgehog, the cake is to be used in the film script as a homage to Some Like it Hot, and you can't have a cake without a critic.

10:32 am

why can't you have a cake without a critic?

10:33 am

fmitch, I saw that and wondered what in the world it was! LOL

10:33 am

spiky hedgehog = tenrec *inserts into memory*

10:33 am

cause it would ruin the story line

10:33 am

Isn't he great Uni! only found in Madagasgar

10:33 am

We were having a little brainstorm the other day about the perfect murder, hurshy. And a cake without a critic is just..... wrong.

10:33 am

he's amazing! LOL

10:34 am

like bread without botter or babble without rabble. just unthinkable!

10:34 am

roald dahl already wrote the perfect murder. only in that case, it was a leg of lamb.

10:34 am

And the punky hedgehog has a variant spelling - tanrec, but they come from the dodgy side of the family.

10:35 am

the Irish traveller side

10:35 am

PHone...

10:36 am

i have two T 6's... is there another, perchance?

10:36 am

nope

10:36 am

ok.

10:36 am

are there any A6?

10:37 am

good morning. do we have enough n's in the grid today?

10:37 am

nope

10:37 am

anything that apologizes for or glorifies a heinous crime for me is imperfect ab initio

10:37 am

have 13 so far, no 6's

10:38 am

the t! i got the t! now i just need ASS, and so, i guess the 6 is an S.

10:49 am

Why are you holding yr breath?

10:49 am

Don't worry about it.

10:49 am

I was waiting for hurshy to get the word.

10:49 am

congrats

10:49 am

it's like the spanish inquisition. nobody expects v-c-c-c-c

10:50 am

oh dear haz, i went to switch my laundry, not knowing you were holding your breath!

10:50 am

It's okay, the medics say I'll recover eventually.

10:50 am

you should tell a person if you're going to hold your breath!

10:51 am

I should, shouldn't I?

10:51 am

Haz did you get The Mail today, free DVD Christmas Carol, am watching it on the PC, not a bad version of the tale.

10:52 am

Yes, got the DVD but haven't looked at it yet. I should really make a start on some soup for tomorrow...

10:52 am

I have trouble holding my breath since it is a technique difficult to grasp

10:52 am

wha cha makin?

10:52 am

mmmm soup. what sort?

10:52 am

Parsnip and apple.

10:53 am

10:53 am

hmmm never tried parsnip soup but love soup

10:53 am

10:54 am

minty apple

10:54 am

ooh mmmmmmm

10:55 am

10:56 am

10:56 am

10:56 am

10:56 am

10:57 am

hurshy you will love all of it

10:57 am

I love pavlova.. don't know about bushmill sauce tho

10:57 am

Pavlova is basically a meringue mixture with the addition of cornflour and vinegar - it does something in the cooking to make a crisp outside and a marshmallow inside - that's topped with cream and fruit.

10:57 am

raspberries?

10:57 am

Bushmills sauce is a creamy sauce made with Bushmills whiskey (from up the road)

10:58 am

i need passport to come.

10:58 am

i have passport, need jet

10:58 am

Hello Dorens! - raspberry coulis, the pavlova is going to be topped with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries etc.

10:59 am

I'll need to get more seats into the dining room!

10:59 am

11:00 am

11:01 am

11:04 am

11:12 am

THATS THE ONE

11:12 am

I had found it but thanks DS!!!

11:12 am

I wish it would default back to the add word box for me.

11:13 am

or let's say there were, oh, i don't know, a button labelled "enter chat" that you had to click...

11:14 am

nice idea. I don't know how it sometimes seems to jump boxes. I hadn't even entered the chat yet.

11:15 am

didja hear that, doc??? NICE IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:15 am

thanks for the q 9... that did it for me. and ditto hurshy's idea!

11:16 am

11:16 am

OOps silverclaw put caps lock on for me

11:16 am

11:18 am

i'm very upset about the whole thing.

11:19 am

Hmm....I like that idea. I try to be so careful but sometimes the mouse just jumps to the other box. A button sounds good.

11:20 am

Button, button who's got the button?

11:20 am

life's too short I am way imperfect and oops says it all

11:20 am

11:20 am

ata, YOU haven't forgotten the button??!?!!

11:20 am

apparently so!

11:21 am

in the old version of the site, the enter chat button, and we were very upset it did not come in the new version because people accidentally put words in chat...

11:21 am

11:21 am

11:21 am

oh yes, I'd forgotten about that

11:21 am

I am a button newbie

11:22 am

ahh yes I think I recall that - I guess I didn't chat much back then :)

11:23 am

1:19 pm

In fact, Luc, heres an example: You mentioned going out to shovel. I worried about you. Uni had a test coming up. I thought about her, and that I really wanted to know how she did... Life is full, but never so full that I don't think of, and care about, the wonderful people here in Babble.

1:19 pm

Hi Lauren, read the Help just above as a start. You are essentially finding words by letters that touch each other

1:19 pm

welcome laurenp - you have to try to find the 105 words that are in the grid - words are at least 4-letter words...

1:20 pm

ahhh ((((((scarlet)))))...

1:20 pm

thx lynxx for the so, lost my connection

1:20 pm

Lauren, as well as help, below the word grid you will find a list of babble friends - a good resource is angelsong's babble page and lickety's clues

1:22 pm

**kindness

1:22 pm

Uni and Luc... you are such wonderful people... how could I not care? Good is good, no matter what else comes after that immediate, heart-swelling "connection"...

1:23 pm

And people ask me why I prefer babble to studying...:)

1:23 pm

can't buy kindness...but you can certainly feel it and be uplifted by it

1:23 pm

I just want everyone to know that you all made GrannyMaxx's last few months bearable. She was so excited when she finished a grid, and loved chatting with all of you.

1:24 pm

That is the first smile I've had in an hour, Uni... See? From across cyberspace, we comfort one another!

1:24 pm

Oh, saph... it showed... her humor and gentleness were contagious... she was so good.

1:24 pm

annto

1:24 pm

Saphyre - I have been reading over chat and I want you to know that my heart and thoughts are going out to you especially, doing al this for us. It is a lot for you to do and also keep us informed

1:26 pm

THis is keeping me together - thank you

1:26 pm

Hi, all I am an out of practice lurker who reads the chat but I am usually quiet, but I do hate it when I feel someone is sad or upset. It always helps to know that people care even if we are all miles apart.

1:42 pm

2:41 pm

Hi everyone!

2:41 pm

hello Flask !

2:41 pm

youppi is a cry of joy ! a cheer if you will - our baseball ex-team was called the Expos and the mascot was called Youppi !

2:41 pm

hi there flask !

2:42 pm

Isn't youppi the Habs mascot as well?

2:42 pm

I remember the Expos, Luc... they became the Washington, D.C. team

2:42 pm

???expos went away? pour quoi? quand? ou did they go?

hi flask!

2:42 pm

it is now Uni ! you're right !

2:42 pm

Hi...just popping in to see how everyone is doing!

2:42 pm

Hello, dear Flask! {{{hugs}}}

2:43 pm

team was sold out to outside interests...

2:43 pm

hi flask -- we are sad, but coping. how are you?

2:43 pm

I think there is only one Canadian baseball team now

2:43 pm

Right, the Blue Jays from Toronto.

2:43 pm

yes , the Blue Jays (Toronto)

2:43 pm

why are you sad Stid?

2:43 pm

I think outside interests stink -- in sports, anyway. I wish sports teams belonged to their cities

2:44 pm

because grannymaxx and dilly both died this week.

2:44 pm

couldn't agree more stid !

2:44 pm

Did they Stid? I'm so sorry.

i agree stid & the players should play for the same team for life - or quit & make room for someone else - it was better before

2:44 pm

was dilly a babbler?....I didn't know her....

hi inge

2:45 pm

Hello, helen, nice to see you again.

2:45 pm

Dilly babbled infrequently the last many months -- but she was up near flosey and jillibus. My icon has all of the babblers from there.

2:45 pm

Hi Scarlet...{{{hugz}}}}

2:46 pm

how is the weather for you this weekend flask? It's sunny here, but cold.

2:46 pm

:-) Flask.

2:46 pm

I don't think I interacted with Dilly ever, but I certainly remember granny. Very nice lady. I'm sorry.

inge - it must be a time thing, cause it's the opposite for me, saw dilly often, not so much with you & granny

brick wall with 53 to go - list? hmmmm

2:48 pm

Yes, there's a whole different crew depending on the time of day sometimes, helen. Sometimes I can't sleep because of allergies, and I babble some in the wee hours till my sinuses clear, and meet a whole 'nother group.

2:49 pm

list is good -- or do you have any untouched tiles? We could jump-start you on those, helen

2:49 pm

thats very true......different times brings out different folks!

2:49 pm

I agree with the brick wall. 27 to go and I thinks me has had enough!

2:49 pm

3:42 pm

LOL carlee - me too, blond!

3:56 pm

name plastered across the small town newspaper?

3:56 pm

Gosh Carlee - actually in jail/convicted or just taken for questioning?

3:56 pm

I have NO friggin idea

when i lived in southern illinois, i got the biggest kick out of reading the blotter sheet in the paper - i cut out my favorite one & put it on the wall, whenever i had friends visiting from chicago, they always had a good laugh

3:57 pm

how did you find out?

3:57 pm

Hope is all a horrible misunderstanding. fingers crossed

this guys was arrested & jailed for "shouting fighting words" - that'll get you every time

3:57 pm

am talking to MinL in msn

*keeps fingers crossed for lucrative lawsuit too*

3:58 pm

shouting like " hey dummy- i'm gonna kick your behind"?

3:58 pm

lawsuits in canada....well, in my part of canada would take forever if even happened

yep rennie, that was probably it, they didn't get specific, but my friends figured at least 1/2 of chicago would be in jail if the same rules applied

3:59 pm

hey uni...no...all I know..his car was stolen from buddy's driveway

3:59 pm

only 32 to go and they are all probably 4 letter ones

3:59 pm

he went to police to report stolen

3:59 pm

meanwhile someone drove it into harveys....and now he in jail for breach of something or other

4:00 pm

outstanding warrant

4:00 pm

hahahahha - here you can;t wear lipstick in public....hmmm

4:00 pm

Of course...his car is stolen, so arrest him! :)

4:01 pm

running from the law...fugitive...oooh

4:01 pm

that just happened to my brother-in-law, he thought it was funny, had outstanding tickets on his camper, forgot about the court date, got stopped for some minor traffic thing & they arrested him - handcuffs & all, small suburb

4:02 pm

ouch helen!

4:02 pm

not nice... k..well.. I best run...

thing was, he had his 9 year old daughter with him, they sent 2 more squads & ended up driving his daughter to mom's work where she was getting off soon (a restuarant), then they gave his keys to the daughter, so they ended up having to drive him back to his car!

4:03 pm

see ya, carlee

4:03 pm

ok carlee- sorry for your troubs

i told, i wouldn't be laughing if that happened to me, gotta learn to lighten up, i guess

good luck carlee!

4:26 pm

I posted an inspiring Hanukkah poem in my bio, go and read

4:26 pm

G'd evening Babblers.

4:27 pm

hi, Lori

4:30 pm

Not really feeling my usual zeal for the grid today, but will putter along. Today, I will leave my last random message of hugs, for someone I miss so much.

4:31 pm

anyone have a clue for the qu 8-9 combo?

4:31 pm

Lori, ought we to know who?

4:32 pm

qu 8: qu 5/16 + to 4

4:33 pm

inge, I'm quite awkward with these things. I take it you haven't heard?

4:34 pm

no, I have not been in teh chat much

4:35 pm

Oh dear, Lori, waht happened?

4:35 pm

I just found out myself. Stid very kindly posted a thread at BabAnon. Granny Maxx passed away

4:35 pm

ty inge

4:35 pm

Apologies for my lack of tact.

4:36 pm

yes, I did hear that? Is she related to you?

4:37 pm

No, I just miss her. Like losing one of my own. The family here.

4:37 pm

lori - there is never an easy way to tell of someone's passing

4:37 pm

wonderful poem, Inge . . . very moving

4:38 pm

G'd venin ren. Uniquity (#1) prepared me, or I would have been overwhelmed.

4:38 pm

2nd so 6?

4:40 pm

nm

4:41 pm

I used to leave random hug in chat to her, because she'd pop in every so often, and say she was lurking, LOL but not posting.

4:41 pm

*!* ta da *!* :)

4:41 pm

All done? Congrats cyber!

4:43 pm

ty lori

4:43 pm

4:43 pm

I'm just starting, thanks though. Wandering in and out

4:44 pm

Hello Babble buddies.

4:44 pm

bye for now then --- back at the flip -- hi scrabbler!

4:44 pm

G'd evening Scrabbler

4:45 pm

Gee, I went to BabAnon to express condolences, went thruogh the whole process only to be told that I already have an account.

4:45 pm

Lori, it is unusual to see you here in the evening.

4:45 pm

take care cyber, see ya' later.

4:45 pm

Hi, Dr. Scrabbler, Wie geht's? Read the poem in by bio

4:45 pm

Grannymaxx is gone---I just spoke to her recently here.

4:46 pm

I've been working Scrabbler, so I've been an eveing Babbler.

4:46 pm

I am quite taken aback Scrabbler. She was special.

4:47 pm

**checking my own bio to see what I did to it**

4:48 pm

that's a beautiful verse inge.

4:48 pm

did you write the poem inge? it's beautiful

4:49 pm

no, it was used in a concert at the DSO. I asked for a copy, the authors are Moshe Davis and Victor Ratner

4:50 pm

so long ago, I don't remember what the concert was about

4:50 pm

I went to the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra's Christmas concert last night, Inge. I haven't seen them play in about 15 yrs and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

4:52 pm

I hope you will go more often now. When one of Eyeman's pianists oerforms in your vincinity I will let you know. I sort of hope to attend by staying overnight in Cleveland

4:52 pm

Ronan Tynan will be here on Dec 30th with the BPO and I want to see him.

4:53 pm

Musicians amaze me, especially an orchestra, as I have zero musical talent except for listening.

4:54 pm

looking up distances, BRB

4:58 pm

Back already. About 100 mi from Cleveland to Erie, where a piano recital is scheduled next year I think

4:59 pm

oops, time to take a kitchen inventory for supper . *poof*

5:30 pm

5:31 pm

I guess so... I will come back later to clue if anyone needs help then.

7:18 pm

u don't have them in Michigan Gwen?

7:18 pm

give the mormon's a jar of peanut butter, they live on the stuff while on their missions. or a bicycle pump, always useful.

7:21 pm

sorry if I offended anyone

7:21 pm

I'm nice to all the door to door godly people as long as they don't tell me I'm going to hell if I don't convert... some do!

7:21 pm

Hello pk! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log

7:21 pm

is atheism a religion?

7:21 pm

hi min

7:21 pm

Hi pk!

7:21 pm

been lurking for awhile

argh, where does anyone get off telling someone they are going to hell. that's nothing less than terrorism

7:21 pm

weegee I was nice--just told them that I wasn't interested

7:22 pm

hi wee

evan, no, i did not say atheism is a religion (it's not). i said I am a religious atheist

7:22 pm

i'm not offended praise - and i;m not nice

7:22 pm

oh...i think i see the difference

7:22 pm

na 5/10 the very last na

7:22 pm

religions are like airlines... flying to & from everywhere & all utimately headed to the same airport

7:22 pm

i think anything you feverently believe in is a religion

7:22 pm

can't seem to find it

a = without, and theism = belief in a personal god. many religious people do not believe in a personal god

7:23 pm

but maybe atheists should organize, have a pub or something, call it a church, and drink and play pool and eat tax free

7:23 pm

8:01 pm

hello all! Hi Min -- welcome to the grid!

8:02 pm

HI STID

8:02 pm

qu 5/20 is plural the bog

8:02 pm

hi tim!

8:02 pm

Hiya, Stid!

8:03 pm

hello riemann! how are you? we have spent a lot of today playing with the wii

8:03 pm

Wow! A Wii! And all for the wee ones!

8:03 pm

and when not playing with that, stidkid#2 is enjoying the baby RC helicopter...

8:04 pm

LOL and for "mii" as well.

8:04 pm

As I said, All for the wee ones. *grin*

qu6??

8:04 pm

Lucky says hello riemann... (and yes, I noticed the short joke)

8:05 pm

qu 6 #1 is a word used in physics for the "bundles" of information that is sent. resembles the australian airline

8:05 pm

Hi, Lucky!

8:06 pm

Lucky doesn't like the giant, indoor dragonflies

8:06 pm

Hello MeTarzanUJane! How are you? Welcome to grid!

8:06 pm

hiya stiddy

8:06 pm

he is watching the stidkid remove the other stidkid's hair from the rotors... (don't ask -- use your imagination)

8:07 pm

hiya nutty!

haha thankyou Min! thank you stid for the help!

8:07 pm

evening

8:07 pm

Hi stidmama!How are you?I'm here to clue if you need

8:07 pm

hi feather!

8:07 pm

feather dee doo daa!

8:08 pm

Tell Stidkid#2 there is nothing DIVINE about WINDing hair in the rotor in a kamikaze run.

8:08 pm

I finished a long time ago Min, but thanks

8:08 pm

Hello featherbee!How are you doing? Welcome to grid

8:08 pm

grannymaxx passed away??

8:08 pm

Congratulations stidmama on finishing early! Hooray!

8:09 pm

rofl... he explains it's not his fault the dragonfly landed upside down...

8:09 pm

she did feather, last night. Dilly's funeral was this morning.

8:09 pm

oh no

8:09 pm

i didn't know dilly

8:10 pm

caution to Stidkid#2: If the dragonfly lands upside down again, Stidkid must fly the copter while standing on his head. that will fix the problem.

8:10 pm

saphyre is the one who told us about grannymaxx today -- there is a condolence thread up for her at babanon

8:10 pm

What?! Dilly the babbler just passed away! I just saw her here! Had she been sick for awhile? Oh how sad!

8:10 pm

i can't ever log on there, but will read it

8:11 pm

she was not sick Min, went quickly.

8:12 pm

(i think we all just had a monent of silence)

8:13 pm

I just had a moment of silence & surprise featherbee

8:13 pm

i burped

8:14 pm

yes, it is something that really stops a conversation.

8:14 pm

'scuse you

8:14 pm

LOL evanonut!

8:15 pm

my burps usually are convo stoppers

8:15 pm

gotta go put nick down brb

8:15 pm

oops i meant percy

8:15 pm

I just hope that when I go people will hold a great big party and say nice things about me. Not maudlin, just nice things. but Nut won't be invited because she'll burp and ruin the punch lines...

8:16 pm

Hi everyone!

8:16 pm

i spect people to have a party and make fun of me, while i'm being burned up, with the song "c'mon baby light my fire" playing in the background

8:16 pm

*checks his supply of party hats and favors*

8:16 pm

LOL stid!

8:16 pm

hi LBD!

8:16 pm

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

8:16 pm

hi all

8:16 pm

riemann... *scowls* don't start celebrating yet -- my back hurts but isn't fatal!

8:17 pm

that's hilarious, nut -- will you do that for me when I croak -- it will be sooner than you, I think!

8:17 pm

{{{{carlee}}}}

8:17 pm

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

8:17 pm

I never claimed your back would kill you. My vote is Stidkid #2. I won't mention a timeline as that would just depress you.

8:17 pm

ur back still sore from turning cartwheels yesterday stid?

8:17 pm

pds party (like pms only pre deathral syndrome)

8:17 pm

sure jilli, i'll even dance outside the burning place if you like

8:18 pm

rofl... if stidkid doesn't commit "suicide by enraged parentals" first....

8:18 pm

Jilly, please tell me it was a lovely sunny day today up there? it was gorgeous here, and I thought dilly would have loved it

8:18 pm

riemann -- I left for a bit and I hope you're still looking at chat -- did you get my link?: http://tinyurl.com/yu5emd

8:18 pm

Stid, i think that's justifiable kidocide

8:18 pm

something like that carlee -- I think it was actually the bleachers I sat on for the stidkid's concert.

8:19 pm

kidocide is totally justifiable, just like petocide

8:19 pm

{{{LBD}}} thanks. I knew someone would understand...

8:20 pm

can you look at some ones profile when the aren't on chat

8:20 pm

Just caught up on log...wow, condolences and t's and p's to grannymaxx's family.

8:20 pm

How is hubbocide! Often I want to commit hubbocide

8:20 pm

perfesser -- when are you coming to visit? We should arrange for being here for you. Or you could go skiing with the fellas...

8:20 pm

well...that SUCKS stid...

8:20 pm

minver, give them long enough and they'll kill themselves i swear.

8:20 pm

I am not happy, that's fer sure.

8:21 pm

Stid, i'm surprised I'm a gramma! Didn't think the kid would live to see 21

8:21 pm

percocet works... :-s

8:21 pm

hubbocide is justifiable under many circumstances I believe...

8:21 pm

Stid, that's what PMS is for! lol

8:21 pm

so is bestfriend'o'hubbocide *looks pointedly at riemann*

8:22 pm

*ducking* pointed looks

8:22 pm

Hi Jilli. Yes, I've looked at that post. Two thoughts: (1) if allow a director to make even one ruling then the director can change the outcome of the game. (2) If I partnered the 2D bidder, that would be the LAST session I ever did so.

8:22 pm

kidocide strikes me as MORE justifiable than petocide

8:22 pm

uh oh, Riemann, sounds like you could be spending the holidays in Lucky's kennel!

8:22 pm

Oh, stid, it was a chilly but clear day. How wonderful that you have posted dilly's pic in your icon. She was a devout RC and the funeral was traditional. Lynn (MayneGirl) was there of course, with her whole family including Kahlua from Tacoma (she's gorgeous). Afterwards some of us went to a lovely lunch at Calvin's and she was with us is spirit -- it was her favourite restaurant and we toasted her.

8:22 pm

hi erilar!

8:22 pm

puff pant fireworks!

8:22 pm

erilar, depends on how the pet has decided to 'act out'

8:22 pm

Sometimes I also want to commit M-I-Locide as well!I will let you all try to figure that one out yourselves.

8:22 pm

whoooo hoooo ERILAR

8:23 pm

YAY erilar!

8:23 pm

congrats, erilar

8:23 pm

Back to Stid. I'm arriving Sun 12/23. Will be in town for 2 weeks. Can make it down after Christmas. Will bring edible presents.

8:23 pm

Well, Gretl is boss around here 8-)

8:23 pm

In law problems, MIN?

8:23 pm

so glad. Well I will say a rosary for her. If I can find it... (might have to make a new one)

8:23 pm

Oh--Gretl is a Minischnauz

8:23 pm

Hello Erilar! How are you doing? Welecome to the grid

8:23 pm

LOL, riemann -- I must re-read (babbleword?) that post.

8:23 pm

mmmm. edibles are always welcome. We'll bake for you when you get here then.

8:23 pm

oooh..M-in_L ocide....i vote for that

8:23 pm

Congratulations Erilar on fireworks! Hooray for you!

8:24 pm

<POMPOM TOSS> for erilar

8:24 pm

How's hubby doing, Carlee?

8:24 pm

he's ok... driving me nutso....so he must begetting better yes?

8:25 pm

Min, being a M-I-L myself, I tremble!

8:25 pm

now the boys are playing baseball with the wii... this follows tennis in which one stidkid whacked the other one good with a backhand...

8:25 pm

Actually, there were a few years there at the end of my working days when "13-year-old boy" was the worst curse in my vocabulary. . . Karate class where I could pretend to kill them helped keep me sane 8-)

8:25 pm

hm. erilar, that sounds like a wonderful outlet...

8:26 pm

speaking of hubby i best go spend some tie with him... enjoy the remains of the day all..cu in the am

8:26 pm

Great! You found ANOTHER mode of household violence, Stid!

8:26 pm

I could also pretend to kill my principal. . .

8:26 pm

oh golly, I want a Wii! And I don't mean nrkii's catheter

8:26 pm

No M-I-L problems right now.I always hold my tongue.

8:27 pm

Goodbye carleekat! I will see you tomorrow in the log

8:27 pm

nrk? catheter? is there something I missed?

8:27 pm

lol jilli!

8:27 pm

My D-I-L loathes everything about me but pretends not to

8:27 pm

whatsis about catheters...nasty things...saw one come out once, bout made me faint

8:27 pm

Jill -- come here for X-mas. you can play with the wii, meet riemann, and eat all sorts of lovely non-traditional foods

8:28 pm

I'll even dust...

8:28 pm

Jillibus, are you north of Wisconsin or one of those southern Canadians? It's winter here. .

8:28 pm

Please do!

8:28 pm

stid -- years ago nrkii posted some useful babble products in the BabAnon Store. Hilarious.

8:28 pm

I really do love my M-I-L. Just have to remember she always means well, even if I don't always agree w/her

8:28 pm

I think my DIL likes me, I'm very happy that my MIL lives several states away from me, and rarely does she talk to me. keeps us both happy

8:28 pm

well jilli, you can come here, but i aint dusting no way...that's what roaming cats are for

8:29 pm

oh! that -- yes, I think it's next to my lovely accessory for preventing brain wave sharing...

8:29 pm

Erilar, I'm in southern BC

8:30 pm

Oh, then you have some winter, too? We got down to -15 this morning. Made my dog wear her snowsuit for our walk.

8:30 pm

My MIL is pleasant enough when forced to be around me, but I know I perplex her and it bothers her that I can't eat foods she knows how to prepare... she also is a very "large crowd" person (growing up in a family of 9, and 5 kids of her own) and I am a "one at a time" person

8:30 pm

lol erilar!

8:31 pm

oh erilar -- that's too cold!

8:31 pm

my mil loves me and my mil hates me, i don't think she's aware of the hate part though

8:31 pm

Oh, I'm going to my son's for Xmas, no matter what! It's about the only chance I get to see my family and this year I'm flying (weather permitting) from Victoria to Abbotsford, across the river from where he lives, which takes 20 minutes, instead of the ferry and driving which takes about 4 hours

8:31 pm

Had the first snow here in Indiana on Friday. 1--2 inches, and it's gone now. My kind of winter.

8:31 pm

Oh, I don't mind cold. It's warm weather after snow that's nasty: it creates icy roads!

8:31 pm

yikes Erilar, that's colder than we got here!

8:32 pm

So I guess you got a love/hate relationship evanonut

8:32 pm

good for you Jill -- that will be nicer than the long ferry ride

8:32 pm

our four inches are still here

8:32 pm

minver, you have a whey with words

8:32 pm

we have frozen tundra...no snow tho, 'cept in the upper mountains

8:33 pm

still, know that you are welcome here any time. If we have to just push piles of books of chairs then that's what we'll do. *emphatic mama look* The kettle is always ready for tea, and I finally have a little coffee maker also.

8:33 pm

nice talking, but I've been sitting at this computer too long, considering before that I was frosting Lebkuchen. Time to lean back for a while. Nite, all!

8:33 pm

i'm just below the snow belt...good thing

8:33 pm

my MIL is nuts. truly.

8:33 pm

nuts good or nuts bad? GREST nuts or ...

8:33 pm

nighty night Erilar

8:33 pm

she's now in an assisted living facility, and i don't think even knows about nick

8:33 pm

Stid, you're a sweetie (lemon meringue, wink)

8:33 pm

so stid, i'll be over tomorrow evening, sounds cozy

8:34 pm

later erilar! have a wonderful day tomorrow!

8:34 pm

Goodbye Erilar! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!

8:34 pm

oh feather, that is too bad. Poor doug

8:34 pm

nuts good, squirrels bad, GREST good, squirrels bad

8:34 pm

did you watch the recipe stid?

8:34 pm

Erilar, before you go, my grandfather was a philologist and had the Insitut Tilly in Germany pre WW1

8:34 pm

we'll find the air mattress and be ready for you, nut

8:35 pm

she won't have anything to do with doug or his brother. suits me.

8:35 pm

i'll bring my own so's you don't have to dig

8:35 pm

Sounds like a couple people in my family feather... we are happier without them in our lives.

8:35 pm

8:40 pm

sweet dreams riemann, talk to you soon I hope

8:40 pm

fireworks all. this is an easy grid to enjoy.

8:40 pm

Riemann, you are beautiful without sleep, aren't you?

8:41 pm

hi all

8:41 pm

YAY mkg!!!!

8:41 pm

whooo hoooo MKG

8:41 pm

Congratulations mkg on your fireworks!Good for you

8:41 pm

hi joso

8:41 pm

YAY mkg!!!

8:41 pm

it was a nice grid -- not so long I got tired, not so easy I was bored

8:41 pm

hey joso!

8:41 pm

hi joso

8:41 pm

congrats mkg

8:41 pm

Hello joso! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

8:42 pm

hi stid, jilli, min

8:42 pm

i must ask all on the chatterbox now:

8:42 pm

what, mkg?

back. shopped all day today.

8:43 pm

hi TO

hey jili

8:44 pm

the other day, thurs or wed i was on grid and i tend to joke but someone didnt take it as a joke and got upset at me. what do i do now? i was joking about the spelling of words that i thought were weird and some were words that i spell other ways. and someone got upset. it was a shock to me since i cant imagine being at all upset by anything on the chat but now i dont know what to do about it. this is someone often on so i guess when i see the name again i will say i am sorry.

8:45 pm

i often talk about how silly the words are and how the enable dictionary has words that i dont believe are words............they are another language or some such silliness. but i am not really upset by it or anything but just blabbing. so i was amazing that someone got upset.

8:46 pm

I think I was on at that time. I vaguely remember it.

8:46 pm

anyway i dont want to upset anyone. i just enjoy going on about the silly stuff that the enable dictionary is all about. i dont take this so seriously i guess and others do.

8:46 pm

mkg, i'd probably get on and say sorry if i upset you, and leave it at that.

8:46 pm

min you may have been. it was morning my time. i dont even recall who it was.. but someone wrote that i had upset the nicest person on the grid chat. i felt so bad.

8:47 pm

it's the strangest things that can upset people. Just keep playing and enjoy yourself!

8:47 pm

I upset a babbler by my greeting.They asked me NOT to greet her. I apologized and now I do not greet her

hey dawg!

8:47 pm

alot of times here i feel as if i have offended ppl too mkg although it is never my intention

8:48 pm

I will still chat with her, but I also respect her wishes

8:48 pm

mkg -- just try to fugeddabahdit!

8:48 pm

ty ibdawger. i just dont want anyone upset. life is too short to get upset by stuff here. to me it is all a game. someone also asked me why i get upset by the enable dict. i dont but i do find it silly so i mention that i never heard of the word.

8:49 pm

We all get a laugh from enable

8:49 pm

TO!

hey is nut still here?

8:50 pm

!

8:50 pm

thanks all. i thought i would forever be banned from the chat. i didnt ask for clues for several days after. tonight is first time i am back to chat. i think there should be a rule: no matter what dont get upset. who knows who we are and what we think or believe. we are from all over the world, probably from many different backgrounds. oh i recall what i said: i said that the pharisee's were a group not leaders of the jews, just a group of jews. that was it. and i spelled it pharisie's, not with 2 e's. but then i looked and it is with two e's. it was the spelling that got to whoever the person was. i wish i could recall who it was.

8:50 pm

I'm getting nowhere with the grid -- too fascinated by chat

8:51 pm

jilli can i clue you?

pand

8:52 pm

sure, mkg, but I have to have a go on my own at first -- thanks for the offer!

8:52 pm

ok i will be back later on. time to look for tickets to israel for april.

8:52 pm

hi peeps!! I agree - its one of the reasons I dont chat much anymore - too many people take things the wrong way. Its a shame - I used to enjoy the banter that used to go on sometimes for hours - but now Im just really scared of offending someone.

8:52 pm

you will NEVER be banned rom the chat, mkg!

8:53 pm

ommigosh! its dachef!

8:53 pm

I have a feeling who it may be. Will keep it to myself.

dacehf!

8:53 pm

i am afraid to put my two cents in

8:53 pm

dachef me pal!

8:53 pm

i'll take your two cents tim

8:53 pm

Goodbye mkg! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

8:53 pm

welcome back, dachef!

8:54 pm

Hello Dachef! How are you? Welcome to the chat log!

8:54 pm

k evan they are yours:)

8:54 pm

I accedently upset someone once too mkg, with a typo. I ment to say horrible fate but typed horriblr fat, she thought I was calling her fat. I explained and appolgised, not enough. I keept explaining and applogizing untill the appology was accepted. this was all at the same sesion though, I think with time past it is probally best to just move on unless the person in question raises the subject again. if that happens then explane and appologise

8:54 pm

especially with my sense of humour. Me and Nutty once had a 3-hours discussion about poo recipes - remember that? I miss all that stuff.....:)

8:54 pm

your two cents are worth more than som other two centses, timmie (that's a joke, gang)

8:54 pm

8:54 pm

I want to tell you a bit more about Dilly. She was 86, and really loved Babble. She didn't chat much because she never learned to type, and then was a bit disabled in one hand because of a previous mild stroke, so she couls only use one finger. She only got a computer about 2 years ago, because she wanted to keep her mind going. She was a math teacher and a math whiz. She helped other seniors (free) with their income tax returns every year and was on the team to do it again. She ran the duplicate bridge club here, setting out boards, organising play, checking scores and reporting them for publication. She had a great sense of humour (sometimes a bit risque) and had lived in many places in the world. She was a gentle woman.

9:41 pm

The qu 9/84 word is plural of the qu 8/65 word pam.

9:41 pm

(I didn't have the 8, either, when I asked. LOL)

Thank you jillibus for telling us all about Dilly. I wish I had known her personally.I am sure you were a good friend to her as she was to you. My condolences to U

9:45 pm

Thanks, Min. She was supposed to come here today for a friendly bridge game.
