I'm never sure about my sleeping, actually. but I haven't seen Lickety here yet, so I don't think the clues are up

12:29 am

phantom piece

12:29 am

ugh, i know lore

12:29 am

fran you send me stuff all the time... I have scrab as an application.. now what do I do to see who's on?

12:30 am

lore i just tried that word didnt work for me

12:30 am

down to 21, but can't spot that 7 or the 8's

12:30 am

you just start a game chic and then your opponent gets notified.

12:30 am

oooh -- got the ep's

12:30 am

en6+an ending, nan

12:30 am

phantom fr anything. Aren't dead letters frustrating?

12:31 am

don't have the en 6 -- that's my problem!

12:32 am

ah. well, it's en + a 4 letter word you probably do already have :)

12:32 am

duh, sorry chic, of course you're there. i know who you are now. :-)

12:33 am

lol fran

12:34 am

10 left and eyeballs are crossing. see you all tomorrow

12:35 am

sleep well, dawg

why am i not seeing the en8??? i don't have any en's so far. . .

12:35 am

hi dawg! surpirsed to see ya here, sleep well!

12:35 am

which e does the 8 start with?

12:35 am

there are 2, harp. an en and an ep

12:35 am

bye Dawg

12:36 am

the en starts with the e in the second column. i haven't found the ep yet.

12:36 am

nite dawgie!

12:36 am

me neither, melon

12:36 am

we don't have to play fran but is there a way to see who else is playing?

there's 2 e's in the 2nd column - both next to ns!

12:37 am

yeah, but melon--the one on the bottom is a 0

d'OH! :)

12:38 am

If anyone would like to say something at BabAnon I will be printing it up to give to GraannyMax's family

12:38 am

conveniently huh melon lol

12:38 am

if it helps, the word makes a circle around the e it starts on

12:39 am

which is very appropriate, since the word means to become encased in a (usually spherical) protective covering.

thanks jes - i like those kinds of clues. . .now to figger. . .

12:39 am

4:37 am

i like kitsch plastic trees

that and the cat is likely to eat it

4:37 am

nah. just topple it over

4:39 am

Kittens and Christmas trees, what is wrong with this picture? LOL

4:40 am

I have special cotton baubles. Cat proof

4:41 am

Plus I just took in "the old man", thats what I call him, apparently abandoned, who could be so cruel! He is starved for attention, poor thing, so I give it whenever he needs it.

4:41 am

hats a great idea Ata! I must do that!

4:41 am

poor darling!

OH poor kitty how old do you think?

4:41 am

I always have cotton covered baubles and home-made pompoms for the cat-reachable branches, then half decent bauables nearer the top

4:41 am

I know, who could do that, especially to an ol cat, breaks my heart!

4:42 am

The vet estimated over 10 years

Oh poor baby you going to keep him

4:42 am

grrrrrrr

4:43 am

He was found in my neighborhood, dump city, I trapped him, and when was time to release, I realized he was not feral, but a pet that had been abandoned, so I figured, whats one more? :)

4:43 am

Yes, he is mine, forever.

4:44 am

awwwwwww

HOw many kittys?

4:44 am

4:46 am

My problem, I can't turn away from a cat in need

4:46 am

please call one Marcel laPlume at some point, I've wanted a cat called that for *years*

Ok so these kittys get feed and better and then get new furever homes?

4:47 am

I will Ata, I love that name!!!

4:47 am

me too! its the name of the cat in one of my favourite books, and I've been dying to use it for years

4:47 am

Yes Herin, they are adopted by a local rescue group, but, the old ones, no one wants, so they have a forever home, with me

OH pfft i love kitties , mine is a rescue

4:49 am

I saved the name Ata, will name the next one, Marcel laPlume, love it!

4:49 am

wheeee!

4:50 am

4:51 am

Rescue cats are the best Herin!

4:52 am

I need help! I can't find ce 5,12- there are two- the one I have rhymes with jeans. Anyone?

She is horridly spoiled. I spend about 90c for a 80 gram canof cat food

4:54 am

Make that pe 5,12. Sorry!

4:54 am

Herin, if you knew what I spend on cat food, you would faint. I also feed strays and ferals everyday, out of my own pocket.

4:55 am

jai-there's the pasta

4:55 am

I wish I could spend more on cat food. Poor Sily has a horrid time eating most things, she's so small that I think her stomach rebels at any lump

4:56 am

7:05 am

Hi Annie.

7:05 am

Hi inge2!

7:06 am

ah - simple when you know where to look

7:07 am

ty :)

7:07 am

yw, deb

7:07 am

There is a serious vowel deficiency in the grid. This one looks intimidating.

7:07 am

funny how the brain blocks out certain letter combos

7:08 am

It's not bad Uni. But I'm stuck on the last 8 (no list though)

7:09 am

not bad Uni - I went to list at 12

7:09 am

That's good! Except for the stuck part...I have to use list today, have a paper due tomorrow that I must write.

7:09 am

May you find some amusing words to use in your paper, Uni. :)

7:10 am

Good morning!

7:10 am

It looks likely, what with 4 Es and 1 I!

7:10 am

morning, merk

7:10 am

Hi Merk, Uni, Inge, scarydeb, Annie.. happy Sunday to all you Babblers!

7:10 am

Hi Merk

7:11 am

and Aloy

7:11 am

Hi Merk, Hi Aloy!

7:11 am

Hi Aloy!

7:11 am

Hi Aloy & Merk

7:11 am

I have the en 8. Where is the other please?

7:12 am

ep8

7:12 am

ep 8.50

7:12 am

ep8

7:13 am

oooo, ty, is there a clue to it?

7:14 am

ep 8---same gender

7:14 am

prefix for "on top of" + another word for theater but change the second vowel

7:14 am

it sounds like either a geological epoch or the place where an earthquake originates, but means something totatlly different

7:14 am

oops, first vowel, sorry

7:14 am

(in the theater word)

7:15 am

perhaps I should get my coffee before I attempt to clue, lol.. brb

7:16 am

ep8 is a plural, so we are cluing ep7

7:16 am

I am looking up theater in my thesaurus and not finding an 'ep' word

7:17 am

no, no... the last part of the word.. like **** Max theaters?

7:18 am

ty Inge - got it

7:18 am

you add that to the prefix for "on top of", like your skin is your ***derm

7:18 am

I found it. ty one and all. actually it was the earthquake clue that finally did it for me. I definitely need my coffee first.

7:18 am

yw, Ema

8:25 am

Is this one of those deceptive nasty little grids?

8:25 am

Nono... some nice choices for videos lately! No, Lor... have been here about seven minutes and found 32...

not too bad, didn't use lickety til the last two, took only an hour to do without using lickety

8:26 am

Wow... that's nice Babbling, ang~

8:26 am

Cool. Maybe I'll come and go all day, and go for like 10 words an hour... :)

Yah, like that's gonna' happen Scarlet. What are you on? :-)

8:28 am

brb neighbor dropped in for coffee

8:29 am

Picture me with very black eye makeup, a la Lily Munster... walking like a robot..."Must... have... football" LOL, Lor... just a half a cup of coffee so far!!

Scarlet, I am glad you have enjoyed the videos, I tried to keep them light and entertaining for the most part

8:30 am

That's the best part, Nono... some of them are way tooooo long... these are smart, fast and clever. Thank you!

8:32 am

Nono, lately, FMitch has made some suggestions for Icon Themes... very nice ones, too. I wish I could see her to scold me for Dr. Hawking... but, I have an answer for this theme: Place you want to visit... My response: ANYWHERE that Stephen Hawking is! LOL

8:32 am

good morning red

i agree on some of them being too long. When I am looking for some for the list I won't even look at those longer than 5 minutes

8:32 am

Kattie love~~

8:32 am

(o: big hugs dear

lol on hawking

hi Carlee!

i'm waiting on neihgbours for breakie... 2 types of scones today...

oh, haven't figured that out yet, still lots i don't know here

8:35 am

any help w/the en's?

8:35 am

en+ "lump" for 6...past tense for 8

if you email lickety he will send you the link to download the program angelina. It really is a big help

en + growth on the body

8:36 am

The BIG game is tonight,kattie...when New England, unbeaten and feeling very vulnerable after two hard games the past two weeks... goes to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers.

k i will do that, thanks nono, is his email on lickety's clues?

yes it is down at the bottom i believe

8:37 am

oooh...ooh... oooh....that at 7?

8:37 am

( I am and always have been a steelers fan... back to the days of terry bradshaw.....so tongiht..steelers have my heart )

8:37 am

Two types of scones!! Ahhhh.. kat, you're back to cooking! It's the greatest therapy in the world... (it also keeps lots of people in the house! >evil grin<)

thank you very much, appreciate the info

your most welcome

8:38 am

( glazed lemon poppyseed and plain with vanilla ( I hate just flour scones..bleck )

8:38 am

I know, kat... and they are trumpeting the usual jock stuff about beating the Big Guys...it should be excellent, smashmouth football! Oooooh, they sound delicious!

8:39 am

go steelers...

woohoooooo go steelers beat them patriots!!

8:40 am

I just want to see a great game... of course, an unbeaten year hasn't been achieved since 35 years ago when the Miami Dolphins did it, so, whatever happens, wowzer! LOL Nono!

8:40 am

ok..getting scones in oven ( 2nd batch)..gotta fly...I'll be watching tonight red..that a game I WILL watch

8:41 am

( and then lost in superbowl...yes?)

8:41 am

*Hugs dear* Go, football!! LOL

agreed scarlet I would much prefer a good game with a close score than a blowout

8:41 am

NO, kat... they won the Super Bowl

8:41 am

i thought that the year dan marino was on and lost..oh well

8:42 am

no marino was much later

8:42 am

hi all!

8:42 am

Nono... the Patriots have had some real scares the past two weeks... first the Eagles were sooooo close, and then last week, the Baltimore Ravens came thisclose.... no, kat, this was before Dan Marino...

8:42 am

ok..well..gone..neighburs here any min

just emailed lickety and thanks again

hi dan

last weeks game was very good

bye carle

8:43 am

What a heart-stopper, Nono...

i didnt see the philly - NE game

i watched them, i'm from eagles territory but i am a patriots fan too because my nephews love them

8:44 am

The Ravens gave it to them on a silver platter, Nono... THREE fourth downs and then, 35 yards assessed on three penalties... it was ALMOST one heck of an ending with the Hail Mary as the time ticked off the clock... what a game.

yes it was

The Bills are my favorite team...... I know they suck this year..... but I have 2 fantasy teams that I manage and I was up against someone who had Brady and Moss last week it got pretty tense there at the end LOL

and with that bye all, hagd, see ya tomorrow

bye bye angelina

8:47 am

You know, Nono... I wondered why Donte' Stallworth wasn't used more last week... Brady to Welker, to Moss to just about anybody... that team is just superb... but getting tired... Bellichek seems to be just a tad frayed around the edges...

8:48 am

Bye angelina... Have a wonderful Sunday! Nice seeing you~!

I think they are trying to hard to stay unbeaten and it is wearing on them all

with each game the pressure has to be increasing

8:49 am

You might have it right on that one, Nono... perfection is difficult... and if I were the defensive coordinator, I would have kicked some serious butt the past two weeks... the pocket is dissolving around Brady, and he is getting eaten alive../

he has taken a lot of sacks the last couple of weeks

8:50 am

And I was slack-jawed at how much turf the Ravens were able to eat up throughout the entire game...

8:51 am

hi, everyone. i just have to jump on this football talk--i am a diehard steeler fan. and am so excited about the game w the undefeatd pats. we are gonna bring em down!

without a good offensive line he's all but on his own and he can't keep scrambling every play

yes it was amazing scarlet

8:52 am

Hi, emusing... another football fan!! Come'on in!! I want a good game, and this is going to be super, tonight!!

emusing, I would like to see that happen too but as I said before I just want to see a good game!

8:53 am

emusing my brother-in-law (born and raised in pittsburgh) will be at the stadium. Hope he survives!

8:53 am

exactly emusing, Steelers rule!

8:53 am

is there only one dy word?

8:54 am

Good morning, pabtrek... It's a Steelers party!! Yes, dan.

8:54 am

Morning, Scarlet

8:54 am

I am sure this game will be really good! we will have our steeler 'shrine' up for the game.

8:54 am

We moved from NE Pennsylvania two years ago, and everything was Eagles, Eagles, Eagles... gag... the ONLY good team in the Commonwealth is the Pittsburgh wonderboys!! :-)

8:55 am

and then the indy/ravens game should be pretty good too

8:55 am

you are right, scarlet!

8:55 am

Yes, very exciting football happening today

8:58 am

Yep! This is why I suffer all season long... to see December football at its most crucial!! Yahoo for NFL fans!!

8:59 am

i get sad when the season is over. not to knock baseball but baseball is kinda boring -- and my husband is a pirate fan, goes to games all the time. snore fest for me.

9:00 am

the only time I get excited about baseball is around the time of the World Series

9:00 am

How many words today?

9:00 am

78

9:00 am

I have a really lame joke about that, emusing... Baseball is my husband and Football is my lover, and Hockey is my out-of-wedlock child... LOL

9:01 am

Thanks.

78 godthaab

9:01 am

LOL, Scarlet

9:01 am

lol,scarlet. i like hockey, too, but more in person than on tv.

9:02 am

pabtrek... I watch approximately two baseball games a day during the whole season (averaging it out) and just love it for exactly the reason you snore... it is leisurely, exciting, and like football, you never know... on any given day... what will happen, or who will winn

9:05 am

Oh, wow! It's raining!! At last! We have been so dry, and there have been several arson fires in town lately... this is such a gift!

9:06 am

that's great Scarlet, hope you get enough rain, but not too much at one time

9:06 am

gotta go for now. go steelers!

9:06 am

bye emusing

9:07 am

Must feed beloved! See you all later, and I can't wait to see these games today... you are so right, pab... I have had water issues my entire life... speaking of which... the Pittsburgh field better be in good shape this week!!

9:07 am

Later, emusing!\

I know how much you need the rain Scarlet, I hope you get a good soaker

bye bye emusing and Scarlet have a great day

That's nice of you. I usually stomp around when he sleeps later than I do. :)

9:38 am

A place I want to visit

9:38 am

It's "place I'd like to visit," Ata

9:39 am

Speaking of MY husband, obviously. :)

9:39 am

9:39 am

You go, Dan! Great!

9:41 am

9:41 am

9:41 am

9:43 am

9:44 am

Good grief..fingers must still be asleep..pardon typos down there.

9:45 am

we forgive you

9:45 am

Spanky,we are the opposite. I'm the night owl. Read the other day that there is actually a genetic marker for "nightowlism." It's not a character flaw like my father always implied!

9:45 am

fireworks!!!!!!

9:45 am

congrats ypsigirl

9:46 am

Good afternoon from a wet and miserable Essex.

9:46 am

Your icon looks like a jellyfish from here, Ata.

9:46 am

I know! Penrhyn is an atoll in the middle of absolutely nowhere

9:46 am

Hi Frances! It's wet and miserable in Maryland, too.

9:46 am

Thanks, off to make Christmas Cookies with the kids! Have a good day everyone!

9:46 am

Have fun, ypsi!

9:47 am

Hi and goodbye ypsi

9:47 am

fun and a lot of work! :)

9:48 am

Oh yes! Especially the cleanup!

9:49 am

off to check Scrabulous for a few...

9:50 am

Good morning to my fellow babblers! How are you all?

9:50 am

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

9:51 am

Ata..when you "nudge" someone on Scrabulous, what does it do? Send something to their Facebook inbox,or what?

9:51 am

Hello everyone. This small grid means.....housecleaning!

9:51 am

Hi Min!

9:51 am

A place I would like to visit is Kona Village in Hawaii.I have been there before&would like to go there again

9:52 am

Hello Scrabbler! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!

9:52 am

I am not sure how it works--but it is a kick in the fanny to take a turn

9:52 am

that sounds wonderful, especially on a yucky day like today, Min

9:52 am

To me this small grid means I can practice cluing skills

9:52 am

NOTHING means house cleaning to me Scrabbler!LOL!

9:52 am

I played all of my Scrabble turns already and am getting murdlerized in a few games.

9:53 am

Uniquity was saying she wishes it would send reminders to do her turn, Scrabs. I said I would "nudge" her now and then, but wanted to tell her what to look for.

9:53 am

But I must remove the dust, Min, LOL

9:53 am

I did that yesterday and am paying for it, allergy-wise. Think it's better to let sleeping dust lie.

9:54 am

I hope they will remove themsevles one day Scrabbler

9:54 am

I have lots to do--vacuum, do laundry, scrub the kitchen floor, take care of the bunnies' litter boxes and rooms, etc

9:55 am

You're doing just fine in our game, Scrabbler. :) My tiles are ok, but there's nowhere to put them!

9:55 am

FIREWORDS!

9:55 am

WORKS reather

9:55 am

didn't even ask for clues this time (takes bow)

9:55 am

rather

9:55 am

spelling not so good...

9:56 am

Yahooo Noah!

9:56 am

9:56 am

9:56 am

You are too excited to type and spell correctly, Noah.

9:56 am

LOL tell me about it

9:56 am

ooooooooohhh im tired

9:56 am

must be this keyboard. yeah, that's it.. the keyboard's fault

9:56 am

I have to do all of that also Scrabbler. If only we had maids to al of this work for us! The life we could lead!

9:56 am

Now go pro and you can get a video when you finish.

9:56 am

Take an afternoon nap, Ro

9:57 am

9:57 am

9:57 am

One of the bunnies upstairs is throwing his pie tin around. This is translated to: fill up my salad plate again, Mom. '

9:57 am

awwwwww

9:57 am

Hello rolin! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

9:57 am

9:58 am

9:58 am

Bye Noah--enjoy the day! Where do you live, Noah?

9:58 am

Maryland

9:59 am

Goodbye hawknoah!I will see you tomorrow in the log

9:59 am

That is neat, Krista & Noah.

9:59 am

9:59 am

That's the best way to shop,isn't it, Scrabs.

9:59 am

ed

9:59 am

krista- did you end up going to the science ctr on friday?

9:59 am

We are supposed to get sleet and freezing rain in NY

10:00 am

The ski resort across the valley from me opened on Friday and I can hear the voices carry across when I am outside.

10:00 am

Our hill is nothing but mud where the kids were sledding. It looked so nice, now it's a mess.

FIREWORKS!! and it's my birthday. 19 degrees, sleeting, snowing and awful. Working a jigsaw puzzle after Babbling.\

10:00 am

I think north of the mason dixon line it gets nasty today weatherwise

10:00 am

I LOVE on-line shopping, Krista!!

10:00 am

Yippee for Rumplestiltskin!

10:01 am

Yes, Hawk. The teacher there is wonderful. He is just the funniest man and really keeps the kids engaged.

10:01 am

anyone notice how quickly the free shipping has been from amazon this year? seems no reason to go for the paid shipping anymore

10:01 am

Congratulations rumplestiltskin on fireworks! Hooray!

10:01 am

The weather was a little "iffy" driving there, and the Friday traffic coming home was HORRID, butit was a good day, thanks for asking.

10:01 am

10:01 am

10:02 am

10:02 am

Goodbye Scrabbler! I will see you later in the chat log

Happy Birthday, Rumple!! That sounds delicious. I never had a banana cake.

10:03 am

It took me 2 hours and 45 minutes to get home on Fri

10:03 am

See you later, Scrabs.

Oh, they are yummy with cream cheese frosting, sprinkled with pecans.

10:04 am

Mmmm all my favorite things, rumple!

10:04 am

banana cake is FAB

10:04 am

I havent' ordered anything from Amazon lately, Hawk. Will have to go look there! I can remember when they just sold books....

10:04 am

Two phantom words for me today are niece & entice.

Niece for me, too!

10:05 am

10:05 am

10:06 am

Bye Hawk! See ya later.

10:06 am

oh wow, rumple!

10:06 am

That's very exciting, rumple!

10:06 am

morning all.........rumplestiltskin (stilts okay?)...your cattle are beautiful

hi everyone!

10:07 am

how is tastes the beef?

Anything works, you should see them out in the snow with white backs. They love the snow with all that long hair.

10:07 am

awwwwww you have deerhounds

10:08 am

Congrats to your daughter rumpelstiltskin. Hooray!!

10:08 am

Hello bbnaz! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:08 am

Hi 72 Temple Owl!How are you doing?Welcome to grid

I raise Scottish Highland cattle, the best beef in the world, (the Queen's beef) and also have Scottish Deerhounds. Would you guess my husband is Scottish. We have been there many times and love it.

10:09 am

late start this morning.....but here I be

10:09 am

Hi TO!

ata, you were in yesterday's grid

10:09 am

Hi BB..slept in this morning, huh?

10:09 am

the book looks lovely, rumple. she illustrated it as well?

10:09 am

one day atalante will be in the grid, TO!

10:09 am

I live in the desert stilts and don't think the breed would like it much here...........we are more suited to the warmer climed breeds

10:10 am

Are they the cattle with the bold black and white stripes?

Yes, she did all the art work, hand lettering and all. Nice children's book, just before Christmas too

evil msn is botting me - must restart

10:10 am

Yes Krista. The high school football team won the state championship last night and so it was a late bedtime.

10:10 am

This is an early start for me. I usually don't get on 'til after 8:00 at night. No hurry to finish since it is small

Krista, no they are solid red with long hair and long horns.

10:11 am

biiiiiiiiiiig horns

10:11 am

My mom's writing a book too, but it is not a kid book.

She built her own website too and is going to help me rebuild mine when she gets back from a book signing tour in Georgia. Had to rub it in that it was in the 70's there today when it is 19 here.

10:13 am

OH yes...I know the ones. Of course...I'm trying to think where I saw a stuffed animal one of those recently...in a catalog, I think.

10:13 am

I should get my first book illustrations in print in about May

10:14 am

THat's exciting for your team, BB! Bet the kids are over the moon.

That's great Atalante

10:15 am

in a book on dragonlore :D

nice, ata! i'm sure you will letus know when it comes out

10:15 am

oh yes LD

10:15 am

:D

10:16 am

The Belted Galloway is the breed I was thinking of.

10:16 am

Will we get a sneak preview of the illustrations, Ata?

10:16 am

back from looking at very intriguing book. Good for your daughter Stilts!

10:17 am

What is the topic of your mother's book, Min?

10:17 am

unfortunately not. it'll all be secret and copyright the publishers until publication

10:17 am

AH, too bad. :)

10:17 am

and yes Krista, they were over the moon and it was a terrific game right up to the end. Two years ago the school won in the last 90 seconds and only by one point. Fortunately whilst close this time, not quite the nail biter.

10:18 am

but I'll be able to show you big size versions etc once its published, I think

10:18 am

thank goodness small grid today. handbell concert tonight (as it is, I am missing choir at church this a.m.)

10:18 am

I was going to ask you if the weather cooperated, BB, but remembered you said you're in the desert.

10:19 am

does anyone have and can clue the en8 pls

10:19 am

it was held at the NFL team's indoor stadium which was quite LARGE and the field looked waaaay bigger than its true dimension

10:19 am

and we have been getting rain for the past few days which is always nice.

10:20 am

My mom is writing an educational book about how to teach writing to students. I guess it is for teachers.

10:20 am

my 6-year old Eric just counted to 10 in Korean for me (from Tae Kwan Do)..he kept telling me he didn't know how...so cute

10:20 am

en 8/60 is the past tense of en 6/27 which builds off the cy 4/7 word rolin.

10:21 am

ty minver

10:21 am

Eric is an unusual name for kids these days. Good unusual though!

10:21 am

yw

10:21 am

the only book in me is not one that will see the light of day. not enough of an audience.

10:22 am

I'm sure there's a great need for a book of that nature, Min.

10:22 am

After naming my daugher Kielen, we wanted something people could pronounce. :)

10:23 am

Thanks, Ata.

10:23 am

Ki lynn?

10:23 am

or kee lyn?

10:23 am

Yes,they could sure use it in my school where I teach

10:23 am

Kielen isa gorgeous name!

10:24 am

The latter, bb..like KEY-lin. But boy, can people butcher it. My favorite is when they call her Killian (like the beer)

10:25 am

well how difficult is C L A R A?

10:25 am

Thanks, Ata..it's supposed to be Irish, but I never heard of anyone names that except a basketball player (an African American man)! lol

10:25 am

you cannot imagine how many different ways other than the correct way it can be (mis)pronounced

10:26 am

It certainly *sounds* Irish, Krista

10:26 am

let alone younger sister K I N N E Y

10:26 am

and as Kinney has down syndrome, one of the hardest sounds to make is the "k" sound so she couldn't say her own or her sister's name for the longest time

10:26 am

Oh yes I can imagine, BB! LOL!

10:27 am

everyone can manage to pronounce Becky. But as for my surname, maybe about 1/50 spell it right

10:27 am

well Kinney just resolved it by calling her sister SISSY and still does to this day.

10:28 am

Those are lovely names, BB! Did she use a 't' sound instead of K? Hey- sissy works. :)

10:28 am

my sister had a French teacher with your last name, Ata..I think it should be easy to spell, but as we've found..if there's a way to butcher a name, people will find it

10:29 am

de6/27..does anyone ahve it

10:29 am

de6/27..does anyone ahve it

10:29 am

it *should* be easy. But OH NO

10:29 am

nope, her speech really didn't get rolling until 5 so we signed quite a bit.

10:29 am

Hitchen, Hitching, Hitchens, HItchings, Hitchman. You name it

10:29 am

hey Ata -- they are starting to run commercials for your cause here in the states. I never thought about it until I read your profile and now "voila" I am seeing it emerge.

10:30 am

The one client of mine with DS always calls me a "stinky turtle" in sign. :) I love her.

10:30 am

de 6/27 is de + I take a ****ure with my camera rolin.

i looked for your cause for our united way campaign charitable giving..didn't see it

10:30 am

I am back from my breakfast of a PB & J sandwich. May I have help with the F words? i.e. the ones on the grid, LOL

10:30 am

tch.... of course...ty minver

10:30 am

oh really, bb? thats fantastic!

10:31 am

TO -- I believe that Tampax is running a campaign whilst promoting their product

10:31 am

yw

10:31 am

Lol, Scrabbler. Darn, I had some other ones for you.

10:31 am

I've only ever heard about it being passed on by word of mouth etc. Thats wonderful!

yes i saw that. however, did not see dignity anywhere.

10:31 am

fy 4/10 is fy plus Epcot **nter Scrabbler and plural it.

10:31 am

We don't sign much anymore Krista. She is 14 and quite verbal...who would have ever thought in the beginning that I would wish that she would be still.

10:31 am

Maybe you can find the ad on the 'net, ata.

10:32 am

Well maybe it isn't Dignity proper but still the same focus. Hey, I was just pleased to know it was an issue as I was oblivious to it. If you make them think, then they will act.

10:32 am

TY, Min

10:33 am

yw

10:33 am

Is there just one EQ word?

10:33 am

thank you for the fy and the de words!

10:33 am

I can understand that, bb! My daughter had a speech delay - didn't speak much until almost 4 (Aspberger's). As they say, she made up for it!

10:33 am

same focus is good! its such a basic need, and so degrading not to have sanitary wear. and something people just would *not* think of

i am stumped at 16 to go.... : /

10:33 am

Movieman has Aspberger's I believe

10:33 am

Yes Scrabbler, there is only one eq word and it's real.

10:34 am

I'm here to help clue 72 Temple Owl. What do ya need

10:34 am

OK, Min. I have the eq word but need 2 more E words from that top E.

10:34 am

Yes, he does.

10:35 am

There is an ep 4/5 word & an ep 5/12 word Scrabbler

10:35 am

and I have very good friends from choir who the hubby has it and was an md for over 30 years although one of their sons is quite impacted by it.

10:35 am

I have those, Min.

10:35 am

I'll take a clue for the eq word, please!

10:36 am

funny thing about differabilities, once you have one, you see them successful everywhere

10:36 am

farm eq***ment

10:36 am

The eq 5/18 word is e plus the qu 4/8 word Krista.

10:36 am

Krista === e + qu4

have what?

10:36 am

That's is comforting for me to hear stories like that, BB, thank you. She has a mild version, but I still worry a lot about her future. They say a girl on Next Top Model has it. I keep forgetting to watch.

10:37 am

There's an ep 4/6 word that's sort of curvy Scrabbler

10:37 am

she finally was sent home but she was tall willowy and quite pretty

10:37 am

TO -- are you asking us?

10:38 am

FISH! Thanks for clues.

yes ty but from antm i now know

10:38 am

I have ep4 that means a saga

10:38 am

Asperger's Syndrome, TO

10:38 am

Guten MOrgen, Babblers. Finished babble and sudoku, but was lurking here. Krista, I beleive Mr. Presidents son has Aspergers also

10:38 am

Guten Morgen, Inge.

10:38 am

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

hi inge

10:38 am

Congratulations inge on your early finish! Good for U

10:39 am

and there you have it. another example how it is all encompassing and not so limiting. although as a mum it can be quite ... well not exactly the queue we might have wished to be in.

10:39 am

Yes, Inge..I just found that out recently! Babble is quite the network in so many ways.

10:39 am

hi Min, TO, scrab, Krista, and all the others in the chat

10:39 am

Scrabbler, there is an ep7/36 word and ep 8/50 word

movieman also has it

10:40 am

Well put, BB.

10:40 am

Scrabbler do you want clues for ep 7/36 and ep 8/50?

10:40 am

yes, I once read a dialog between Lickety and Movieman about the symptoms, etc

10:41 am

In my practice I have several Asperger Syndrome kids---very bright and I thoroughly enjoy talking with them---they have a fascinating way of viewing the world, in almost an advanced manner compared to us "regular" folks.

10:41 am

I've chatted with MovieMan a few times and aw that in his profile.

10:41 am

Krista, if you scroll through my flickr photos on my profile, you will see Kinney. Anniebrook has an older son with ds but she hasn't learned how to post a photo yet.

10:41 am

OK, Mi, those are the ones I need then

10:41 am

ep7/36 is ep4/6 plus vowel plus half a hawaiian goose

10:42 am

ep 8/50 is plural of that ep7/36 word I clued for you.

10:42 am

Ty for those ep clues--top E is done now. 24 to go.

10:42 am

My daughter is that typical kid, Scrabbler (actually has PDD-NOS, but Asperger's is more recognized by most).

i knew the word right off but i had forggotten the definition

i knew the word right off but i had forggotten the definition it's interesting

i knew the word right off but i had forggotten the definition it's interesting

10:42 am

I"ll have a look, BB.

10:43 am

You are very welcome Scrabbler! Go Scrabbler go!

10:43 am

Hawaian goose?

10:44 am

I have to do an icon theme check BRB

10:44 am

that word shows up a lot

10:44 am

It's place you'd like to visit, Inge

10:44 am

ep7/36 is ep4/6 plus vowel + *north*east mochamom.

10:44 am

Hello mochamom! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

11:06 am

Well off to trim the tree for my dad and then ready for tonight's Lessons and Carols. My handbell choir is ringing three pieces so must "rest" the wrists. (oh I am laughing at that)

11:07 am

Dax PI + ***stions will get you answers

11:07 am

ohh.... that dreaded QU combo tile. that gets me all the time. thanks

11:08 am

my pressure. i noted that you once worked for Disney. I knew Walt when I was a wee girl.

11:09 am

really? I worked at disney for about 3 years. i've always heard he was a great guy

11:10 am

I won a quarter off him in a bet. He had a home where my gran had one (Smoke Tree Ranch) and he would lawn bowl with my great uncle (hence the bet) and his home was on the same street as my gran. He was really a terrific man in his personal life.

11:10 am

okay now I am off. Happy babbling to everyone.

11:11 am

Hello and a small grid today! Diving right in.

Unless there are more than 3 of the 5.12

11:17 am

Thank you for the word total. I assume when there are so few vowel choices that it must be small.

11:17 am

But 78 is even smaller than I thought it would be.

no that was the one i needed and there are 3

11:18 am

Dorens, the view in your icon is almost the same as the one I had from my front door Wednedsay as I set out for mother's school... Lovely crescent moon and a bright star next to it!

11:37 am

oh, how fun! Hope you got lots of pics!

we did

11:38 am

Wow Stid, how cool. (I didn't take this, a friend sent it to me and I just love it... and have not changed icons in quite a while)

11:39 am

i guess I haven't really seen you much lately -- only in the evenings when I am lucky to recognize a computer!

11:40 am

You've been in good health?

11:40 am

I am well Dorens -- a back spasm this weekend that has me down, but otherwise no problems. :-) Just doing a lot so getting tired.

11:41 am

oh, Picey is too a word... Years ago, my kids thought my indian food was too "picey" and we still use the word.....glad you are well stid

11:42 am

LOL I tried "epices" three times -- if other spanish words are allowed, why not?

11:43 am

"eensy" is a wurd too...

11:43 am

enable is so extraordinarily capricious!

11:44 am

the eensy weensy spider... favorite song of mine

11:44 am

12:22 pm

DE 6 anyone?

12:22 pm

Fin! (Used the list AND morewords....I am weak)

12:22 pm

YAY uniquity!!!!

12:22 pm

12:22 pm

de6 - a photo de****s a scene

12:22 pm

de + you draw a ****ure with crayons

12:23 pm

when I was new at babble, I used a word search feature...

12:23 pm

Yahoo Uniquity--you finished, that is all that matters.

12:23 pm

thanks Uniquity and Scrabbler!

12:23 pm

I haven't been new for a long time...:( Oh well, this makes time for paper writing

12:24 pm

wtg, Uni

12:24 pm

The E, second column--what is the 2nd ltr please?

12:24 pm

you can do it Uniquity... after babbling, a paper should seem easier

12:24 pm

I think that's the EN combo

12:25 pm

As long as I understand it right, it would be a P

12:25 pm

actually, it has to be the ENs because those are what I need and it's my only untouched E tile

12:26 pm

Phantom = entice

12:26 pm

hi again. down to 15 and not sure if I should go for the list...how weird are the words?

12:26 pm

Do NOT try entice, I am warning you, LOL

12:26 pm

Stats panels drive me nuts..specially cuz i don't remember how to work them, it's been so long

12:26 pm

I do not have the list out either, Doren.

12:26 pm

i tried entice so many times...

12:26 pm

15 to go for me too, Doren.

12:26 pm

so many words just aren't quite there today

12:27 pm

so... EN please?

12:27 pm

en + c4

12:27 pm

then build off that for the 8

12:27 pm

do y ou have the cy 4 yet stid?

12:27 pm

Combine that with a not-quite-there brain and that is why I am not done yet

12:27 pm

wonder if we are missing the same 15 scrabs!

12:27 pm

yep. like a fatty tumor that is benign

12:27 pm

oh! LOL that was a clue...

12:27 pm

12:28 pm

12:29 pm

A type of pasta Stid

12:29 pm

Ty for the male organ clue

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

Sword + pl, ep7 + pl, ep4 = long sags

12:30 pm

E + q4?

12:30 pm

I mean saga, jeez, I must be thinking about my aging body

12:30 pm

12:31 pm

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

No, that would be dipstick, Doren

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

Word that sounds similar to a noise that birds make...

12:36 pm

12:36 pm

12:36 pm

That's the one, Stid, TY. Isn't it usually spelled EA?

The 3 I have are se4's with an added ltr

12:47 pm

one se5 is more than it's preceeding 4

12:48 pm

Doren, add vowel to sy4

12:48 pm

12:48 pm

We can see our ski resort now at night...so pretty to see the lights up on the mountain

12:48 pm

One is similar to the 6 (minus a consonant)

12:48 pm

12:53 pm

scrab... add double vowel to pe4/4

12:53 pm

the 5s: variant of latin for foot, plural of the 4(and related to the 6), anagram of preceeding 5 and pasta

12:54 pm

TY, Uni. Now I need Pascal to send me the pe6

12:55 pm

writing instruments.... add double vowel

12:55 pm

2:55 pm

2:55 pm

its our first christmas living together, so we thought it would be a cute tradition to start...its been a touch coupla months, so thats why we decided to limit it all to the dollar store -- its not about whats in the stockings really, just that its fun + we tried to think about each other. :)

2:56 pm

and by the way, min, I wouldn't mind visitng your choice of place either!

2:56 pm

that sounds really sweet eva

2:56 pm

I am enjoying the house a lot. It is a lot of work, but it was worth the investment. Nice decorating it too.

2:59 pm

yeah, since money is a little tight this year, most of our gifts are handmade (painted pottery) and we are stressing fun + uniqueness more than expensive gifts

2:59 pm

I used to spend over 100 dollars on stocking stuffers.

2:59 pm

eva -- IMHO that should be the perennial goal

2:59 pm

got it :D

3:00 pm

my mom always gave us random freebies from work...the stocking stuffers were usually junk, but that was the fun of it...heh

3:00 pm

and IAWTC jill

3:00 pm

The past few years, I have cut it down and this year I am cutting it out all together. We are going to get just one big present that we both need for the house

3:00 pm

jill -- i agree -- i dont mind spending money on my loved ones, but im more concerned with etting a nice gift that fits them. even if it comes from the dollar store!

3:00 pm

it's what's behind the presents - the feelings of the people - that should count, not the obects themselves

3:00 pm

blue, that's a new one to me -- please translate!

3:00 pm

that's really cool min

3:01 pm

One time,my husband and I were tight on money and we I returned all the stocking stuffers to get money.

3:02 pm

"i agree with this comment"

3:02 pm

thanks, blueruin!

3:03 pm

3:05 pm

I must go and get lunch now, then finish up doing Xmas cards -- back later -- thanks for the clues, min xoxoxo

3:05 pm

3:29 pm

3:31 pm

omg, no, I did not know

3:31 pm

am really sorry to hear that, I really loved that woman

she certainly was a love

I have a love from another site in Brisbane on his deathbed today, sadness abounds here

still tho, how I love you all

love the friendships I have made thru this puter

3:34 pm

*hugs grammaterri1* It was the birthday of a very dear friend of mine yesterday. She passed away last year. Let's hold each other to make things a little lighter.

(((sprite))) you bet

3:35 pm

there was another woman who passed away earlier this week - it was Dilly - her pictures were in someone's (i forget whom - sorry ) flickr's pix...

3:35 pm

if I learned one thing from this site, it is that it really really helps to connect to people in a virtual way. I can FEEL the support, however far you are all away from me in real life.

oh my I hadn't heard about dilly, amen sprite

3:36 pm

didn't know about dilly either. I will light a little candle inmy heart for both of them.

3:36 pm

Stidmama had pictures of Dilly in her profile last nite.

3:36 pm

apparently, Dilly was not sick or anything... sadness all around - (((hugs))) to all babblers...

3:37 pm

exactly minver, it was Stid who had those pix...

(((hugs))) right back at cha

3:38 pm

Had grannymaxx been sick with something for awhile

it's surreal that wonderful people we love pass on and how deep it can affect you even if you never physically met

yes lung cancer

3:38 pm

so true gramma...

3:39 pm

I was shocked last nite. I just saw dilly here not long ago. I never saw her often, but did see her recently.

my friend in brisbane has been healthy all his life, and in april was feeling really ill, went to doc and they found stage 4 colon cancer, he is just about gone now

3:40 pm

I am sorry, have to be afk for a while. I hold you all close to my heart and as long as we feel connected, even these sad things are a little easier to carry. *hug*

3:41 pm

(((ssprite)))

makes every day all the more precious to me, and makes me have to tell those I love that I do love them

blessings, sprite

4:33 pm

hi Nonnie. en + something you don't want to have in your body... not a tumor, but still a thing that you can feel and does not belong there. And past tense for the 8.

4:33 pm

min which direction am i going with the ep?

4:33 pm

I got them from More Words

4:34 pm

what is More Words?

ah ty sprite! and I should have said the 6/8 combo...but you knew what I meant :o)

4:34 pm

I did, and YAYYY for your firewords!

Thanks!

mlfan, morewords.com allows you to enter the letters you know of the word, with asterisks for the ones that are missing and it will give you a list of words to choose from.

4:36 pm

I could spell the hawaiian goose.... anyany

4:36 pm

ohh interesting ty nonnie

4:36 pm

please do spell it sprite lol just kidding

4:37 pm

i only have 41 words i am so suck

lol sprite

4:37 pm

MLFAN17, do you have ep 4/6 word yet. The other 2 ep words, ep7/36 and ep8/50 build off that MLFAN17

4:37 pm

I just did, MLF, though in a cryptic way! Read my spell post out loud and you will find the goose.

4:38 pm

is the ep word epi.. etc?

4:38 pm

we don't give 3rd letters, MLF. E + short word for photograph

4:39 pm

that is the 4 letter word the biggies build from

4:40 pm

i thought athw as the word just trying different combos to see if anythign will work lol

4:40 pm

did we say 7 letters for it?

yes, 7 and then 8

4:41 pm

ty still working it out but i got two more wods since

good, ml--keep going!

4:41 pm

let's try this: ep + vowel + please behave and don't make a s****. Plural for the 8.

4:42 pm

hey sprite, what are you doing up? :)

4:42 pm

lol hursh... finally time for babble, so rushing through the grid before bed :) *hug*

4:42 pm

GO THEM WHOOOHOOOOO

4:42 pm

i gots just 4 to go meself and only started... mmm... 12 mins ago? lucky is a small grid as i had to be away today!

4:42 pm

An ep4/6 is ep+**con themes are different everyday.

4:43 pm

same here, lol

4:43 pm

wtg MLF

4:43 pm

i've got 2 S and 2 P left, how about you?

4:44 pm

Same... do you have the sy words?

4:44 pm

ep7/36 word is ep4/6 plus the middle of something is the ***ter plus the second vowel MLFAN17.How's that

4:44 pm

i just got two more by guessing lol

4:44 pm

no!

4:44 pm

Good for U MLFAN17, sometimes it takes persistance

4:45 pm

there's one ... thought i had put it in before

guessing is good, ml...whatever it takes!

4:45 pm

i fot that word already minlol

4:45 pm

please minver, don't say second vowel? That is actually spelling it

4:45 pm

Hello hurshy! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

4:46 pm

I have 2x sy so far, that took me some time

4:46 pm

there can only be 2 as i found one and have one left

4:46 pm

there's one sn and the rest se

4:46 pm

I resorted to saying that because MLFAN was having a hard time with the word.I gave several other clues before it sprite.Sorry if my clue was a dead giveaway

4:47 pm

thanks :)

4:47 pm

in my opinion minver, i would not object to you just saying "add an e" - it would be simpler and without any pretense.

4:47 pm

ne 5/12 pls

4:48 pm

just a sincere request, minver! There is no difference between saying second vowel or E, that's why a lot of us don't like that kind of clues.

4:48 pm

I agree hurshy

4:48 pm

but we all have our own opinions on such matters...

4:48 pm

min i have never seen that word either lol

4:48 pm

don't we, hurshy, don't we all... :P

4:48 pm

spritey, my sy is a 4, how long is the other?

4:48 pm

ne 5/12 is plural of the ne 4/4 word before it MLFAN.

4:48 pm

I think there's a level of obviousness passed which you might as well just say it ;)

4:48 pm

5

4:49 pm

past which *laughs and points at ata*

4:49 pm

The other sy is sy 5/16 and it is an extenstion of sy4

4:49 pm

I agree Ata. Like in snake chair 3rd vowel cross letter.

4:49 pm

ty sprite, got it. and you too min.

4:49 pm

next time I wont bothyer sticking up for you!

4:50 pm

:S

4:50 pm

why not????

4:50 pm

yes sprite! just say the thing! if something is that impossible LOL

4:50 pm

oenf othe 4/4 ne words i hae is plural their other cant be made plural

4:50 pm

oh, wait, that was for hurshy, LOL

4:50 pm

i have done that in my day, when someone really can't get a word... like i'll say, "it rhymes with schmobvious"

4:51 pm

LOLLLLLLL hurshy, that is funny

4:51 pm

HI ata

When it comes right down to it, if I'm stuck on a word, I appreciate any and all clues.

4:51 pm

oh me too. Or spelled it out in first letters of words or something

4:51 pm

well, we all have had moments that we just could NOT see a word. And for me, usually they are obvious and easy and short words

4:51 pm

sprite dod upi see what i said?

4:51 pm

There is only one ne5/12 word. The other is ne 5/16.

4:52 pm

now then, any kind listing folks (or finished folks) want to tell me the point total?

4:52 pm

I saw it, MLF, but I couldn't make out what you meant, lol.

4:52 pm

I think what most ppl object to is people asking for such obvious clues 5 mins after a new puzzle has turned up.

4:52 pm

did you

4:52 pm

oops

892 hurshy

4:52 pm

The point total for today is 892 hurhy.A small amount

4:52 pm

ty nonnie

4:53 pm

one of the words i have is plural the other cant be made plural according to the grid

4:53 pm

thanks, nonnie and minver, that helps me too

4:53 pm

29 left... so... probably 6/24 and 4/5.

4:53 pm

I never ask for clues until I am at least halfway done.

4:53 pm

which means in pts i have 400 plus to go

4:54 pm

I don't often ask for clues, but I use the ones in the chat shamelessly :)

4:54 pm

MLFAN17 the ne 5/16 words adds a sometimes vowel to the ne 4/5 word. Is that the ne 5 word you need?

4:54 pm

people never mind helping, but they do get upset when someone is asking for clues without obviously having considered the matter at least a little

4:54 pm

that is true. But people who really play, and try for themselves, can ask me anything and I will gladly help (if I have the word, that is, lol)

4:54 pm

and some of us don't like pretense :)

4:55 pm

i have both of those

4:55 pm

Today I did not have to ask for clues.I do not usually when it is a small grid.Unless it is small and very hard.

4:55 pm

I love pretense. Or pretenses. Or pretenseless. As long as they are grid words :)

4:55 pm

AND WE MISS OUR BUTTON! at least, i do.

4:55 pm

pretence. *laughs and points at hurshy for being american*

4:55 pm

some small grids are evil indeed.

4:55 pm

i can't help it, i was born that way

4:55 pm

so do I, hurshy.

4:56 pm

its the 5/12 under the 4/5 at the top

ahahaha--early clue askers reminded of a time when I was new to the game. I didn't know that n 8 or me 10 where people "announcing" they'd found a biggie. I thought they were asking for clues so I thought I'd be helpful and clue the word for them this one particular time when I had found a biggie early...boy was my face red when I figured out they weren't asking and I shouldn't have been giving.

4:56 pm

sprite, ata FORGOT about the button, can you believe this?

4:56 pm

LOL Nonnie! I hope we were kind about it and appreciated your good intentions!

4:57 pm

i dunno, we can be tetchy at the flip...

4:57 pm

sure I can, hurshy. At a certain age, forgetting things becomes natural, you know...

No one yelled...thank goodness.

4:57 pm

lol

4:58 pm

maybe it's 4/8 and 6/21... hmmm.

4:58 pm

i have the ne 6/21

4:59 pm

that's nice, mlfan

4:59 pm

i try hurshy lol

4:59 pm

argh, can't believe I was so blind. Had the se4 and not the se5 that builds on it!

4:59 pm

yay MLF

4:59 pm

times 2! Darn.

5:00 pm

these are some very elusive P words.

mlfan, did you ever get the ne 5/12?

5:00 pm

ata, you got any p 6's besides french for "thought"?

5:00 pm

hurshy you mean pe words?

5:01 pm

no ne 5/12 yet

5:01 pm

why are matching writing articles not a valid word?

5:01 pm

dunno, mlf

They were on my list, sprite

5:01 pm

guess it's 2 words sprite, but i tried it too.

5:01 pm

yup, there's a pe6/24

5:01 pm

no 6s other than that one, hurshy. I ne4 2 more and no more 6s.

5:02 pm

the experts disagree... lol

5:02 pm

Er, except for the past tense pe6.

oops, I thought you meant plural writing items

5:02 pm

no, Ata is right

5:02 pm

this time

5:02 pm

*smug*

5:03 pm

Nonnie: yes, they are. Just not the matching s**

5:03 pm

what is the clue for pe 6/24 maybe i can get that one instead lol

5:03 pm

silly spritey, they're both past tense :) lol

right, I had tried that also

5:03 pm

boop, done with a fish, but that's fine as i saw it myself.

5:04 pm

not! One is past te5, the other perfect te5.

5:04 pm

wtg hurshy! Only one here left. You sprited me, you evil you!

5:04 pm

oh. hmmm. well, they don't so much teach us very well about tenses in america i guess.

5:04 pm

i sprited srite?!?!?! what a proud moment for me!!!!

5:05 pm

Need to start supper. Take care all.

5:05 pm

i do not think you were giving it your full attention though.

5:05 pm

5:05 pm

5:05 pm

what does a mountain climber do after he's climbed everest?

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

it's not misspelled, that's the plural.

5:06 pm

Congratulations sprite on fireworks! Hooray for you!

5:06 pm

5:37 pm

I'm on the last 29, and starting to have trouble

5:37 pm

It isn't bad.I did not have to ask for any clues today.

5:37 pm

WHY ISNT THE 1000 leggy worm a word?

5:37 pm

That does not mean I did not steal any from chat log!

5:37 pm

:)

5:37 pm

Hello shorty! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

Does anyone have a hint for the en words?

5:38 pm

5:38 pm

5:38 pm

Hello sarcasticah! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

5:39 pm

hi sarcasticah (nice name)

5:39 pm

yes

Hello! I'm good, thanks!

5:39 pm

why isnt it a word?

5:39 pm

it's just not in the grid..or do you mean it's your phantom word

5:39 pm

It is a word shorty, but it is not in the grid today. It is a phantom word along with niece,incest and deceit

5:40 pm

you'd have to use the same 'e' twice to make the word

You'd have to use the same e twice to get centipede.

5:40 pm

but thanks, now I'll kep seeing it :)

5:40 pm

oh i just seen that thanks

5:41 pm

oh your very wlcome lol

5:41 pm

5:42 pm

Yesterday,squanto was in the puzzle and I thougt it should've been excepted.It takes other proper nouns

5:43 pm

it's very arbitrary, for sure - frustrating

5:44 pm

our neighbors have Christmas lights flashing to music..oy vey

5:45 pm

I do like Christmas lights,but not flashing ones Krista

5:46 pm

i'm glad we're not next door to them, Min. Do you have seizures or are you just easily annoyed like me. :)

5:46 pm

ce 5,12?

5:46 pm

How loud is music? Can the whole neighborhood hear the music. It would annoy me if I had to listen to my neighbor's music,even if it was nice Christmas music.

5:46 pm

oh i found it

5:47 pm

A ce5/12 is the five ce***s but spelled with a c Amyjv.

5:48 pm

I do not have seizures and I am not easily annoyed. I just would not pick flashing lights for my own house.

5:48 pm

We can hear it when we're outside, and we are three houses and a street-width away (they are on adjacent street)...I'd not be happy if we were any closer.

5:49 pm

They are the same people who buy highly illegal fireworks in the summer - with launchers and such. But I enjoy those. :)

5:49 pm

Well at least you don't hear it from the inside Krista.

5:50 pm

True. Had enough of that when I was single and living in an apartment.

5:50 pm

I like illegal fireworks also as long as I'm not a part of the illegal activity of buying them. I like to spectate.

5:51 pm

Exactly! They are close enough that we can watch them easily, but keep our hands clean, so to speak. My bday is July 4, so I do like the pyrotechnics.

5:52 pm

pi 5, please?

5:52 pm

That's cool!That is probably the best holiday to have a birthday on. You get light dispay & don't get jipped

5:53 pm

A pi5/18 is pi plus the 2 letter tile plus a vowel Krista.

5:54 pm

People are out of town on my birthday a lot, but I had a wonderful 40th - all friends and family around, the weather was beautiful - one of those very special days.

5:54 pm

de 6?

5:54 pm

My 40th won't be like that, at least with the weather

5:55 pm

Isn't that the pi 4, Min??

5:55 pm

My birthday's in February so I always get cold b-days

got it, ty

7:12 pm

Ooooh I cannot say, for that is my own secret jwr! :)

7:13 pm

jwr this grid is full of one vowel only so try what is there. the choices arent so broad. it is not ou or au or even ao!

7:13 pm

min will never say a vowel again or else the vowel police will get her

7:13 pm

it's a trap for the purist (puritan?) who jumped on her in the first place. shhhh!

7:13 pm

there are only three places where two vowels are together, so it's not that hard

7:13 pm

ok shhhhhhhh mum's the word

7:14 pm

min's the word

RENNNNNNNNNNIEEEEEEEEEE

7:14 pm

we want vowles - we demand to know which vowels

7:14 pm

LOL renfield!You are funny!I wish you had been here when that happened to me.Some others defended me

How are you ren

7:14 pm

7:14 pm

I dont want vowels, I want the remaining 5 words. I'm holding you at mousepoint.

oh ren, what you said. That's te4,4 of lashes with a wet (something that sounds like) qu4,8

7:18 pm

ep+a letter that sounds like a body part you view with(seems we cant say the vowel)+a part in a play

7:18 pm

Hi Mkg! The 4-letter ones usually trip me up more than the bigger ones.

7:18 pm

se5/10 is se4/4 + a vowel (can't say what one) Krista

7:18 pm

no min - i still have a few words to go

7:18 pm

but that vowel is tied to another letter so cant be used.

7:19 pm

so we're going to become a vowel less society?

7:19 pm

ep7/36 is ep4/6 plis vowel plus *north*east pennyfinn

7:19 pm

thanks mad, great clue

7:19 pm

that will make my name rnfld

7:19 pm

sorry Krista -- that's one of my last six -- bet someone else has it tho, and is just shaking in their boots for fear of giving away a vowel

7:19 pm

This reminds of that e-mail that goes around how we can still read words eve if they are spelled wrong. As long as the first & last letters of the word are right, we can still read the word. Has anyone gotten that?

7:25 pm

i drank too much wine for this

7:25 pm

7:25 pm

I LOVE that e-mail, min!!!!!

7:29 pm

who says you can't use them?

7:29 pm

um, why are we boycotting vowels?

7:29 pm

No, Herin, why? You and Nut are trying to get rid of me, I know it.

7:29 pm

kirsta all the pe words require playing with the letters next to the vowel.............lots of combos of these.

7:29 pm

pe 5/12 is plural of the pe 4/5 word before it Krista.

7:29 pm

you know, min, I tend to ignore the clues in chat that give the letters up and spell them out--unless I am desperate to figure a word out and ask for a clue and that's how it's given...

No i like you here

7:30 pm

we'll keep you krista

hmmm, clue(s) for the two en's?

Then plural it.

8:13 pm

8:14 pm

tx tyger!

yw, green

how's the holiday coming along?

oh, ok

8:14 pm

spoiling the kids rotten, but fun

isn't that half the object? we do it at Xmas, you do it at Hanukah :)

8:15 pm

actually, tonight we gave them journals and a kid-friendly video camera (to share) for our big trip coming up

8:15 pm

No, actually you are right, tyger. I popped in here after some long hours of typing and didn't check back properly on my wordlist. Please accept my apology.

8:15 pm

we're going to Australia over Xmas break

and they get less spoiling with gelt than ours get with extravagant Xmas gifts

wow, cool!

yw, jac

oops, I meant to say, that's okay :)

8:16 pm

Hi, Renny.

8:16 pm

please, you think we only give them gelt? nah, it's guitar hero for the wii, and camera, and books, and clothes, and and and and

8:16 pm

ASG--wasn't the 4th your birthday? Happy Day!!!!

oops. the ones I've known only got gelt and small stuff

8:17 pm

That's okay, tyger. ;)

8:17 pm

yes it was Pam! tx so much! it's been a great week....40 is fun so far!

it was her Bday - I wished it the day before :)

8:17 pm

We didn't get big gifts for Chanukah. We got gifts, but nothing huge. And, once I discovered what the Holiday was really about, was no biggie, LOL

8:17 pm

Great, asg!

gonna contact any Babblers while you're there, green?

8:17 pm

my last 3, se 5 10, se 5 14 and se 6 24

I've always thought it was the most marvelous holiday, anyway

8:18 pm

I've never gotten this close to the end before

8:18 pm

guitar hero for wii... if my ex had wii I might buy him that. Mind you, he's a brilliant guitarist. Crap hubby but fantastic on the axe. LOL

8:18 pm

I know, but my kids are young and we are still giving big stuff (at least I think it's too big)....

se6/24 is when a wound goes bad, or antise6 for things like alcohol

8:18 pm

lol Jac - brb - son is calling

8:18 pm

festival of lights!! i love it...we played guitar hero at work

go, penny, go

8:18 pm

However, my ex hasn't even mastered the art of texting yet... and e-mails he can only just about manage. LOL

8:18 pm

Really, tyger? It was "created" when no one remembered that the Macabees slaughtered the Greeks... I am not big on war commemoration

I happen to think that the Greeks deserved it -desecrating the temple

8:19 pm

thanx tyger

yw, penny

8:19 pm

The lights come into play like the Christmas tree--the pagan celebrations at Solstice were incorporated into the Judeo-Christian holidays to "keep the peace"

8:19 pm

any clues for se 5 10 and 14

8:20 pm

LOL, jac---great that you are in touch with your ex and seemingly on good terms..

8:20 pm

Anyway, I've bought him a box of Turkish Delight (which he expects and would be disappointed not to receive, although I may have thrown the box at him 12 years ago, LOL!) and a DVD of The Who at The Isle of Wight in 1970;

se5/14 - remove the 3rd letter from the word I just clued

8:20 pm

i LOVE guitar hero!

8:20 pm

don;t mess w/ us jews - we don't turn the other cheek anymore

8:20 pm

Maybe so, tyger, but I would rather light lights for peace..

8:20 pm

ROFL, ren

8:20 pm

we kick butt

8:21 pm

Hi, nut. Guitar Hero sounds like fun. I only read about it last week when someone reviewed version III. Do they do it for the TV or pc?

don't you think it was about time? :P

of course, it would have been difficult to do during most of the last 2K years ... :(

jac, don't see how they COULD do Hero for other media

8:22 pm

Suppose not, tyger.

it depends on that input device, AFAIK

8:22 pm

guitar hero uses buttons on the guitar neck - my fav is the stray cats song

8:22 pm

(Re guitar hero, that is.)

yes

8:23 pm

tyger, removing the 3rd letter doesn

8:23 pm

doesn't seem to work

8:23 pm

Getting wii would be worth it to see all the old would-be rockers, and the young ones come to that... having a go.

the 3rd letter - OOPS! try the 4th one. sorry

8:23 pm

More fun than karaoke!

8:24 pm

it is much fun mistress

no doubt, jac

8:24 pm

that works, thanks

8:24 pm

cause you have to watch the screen, and use you left and right hands

but as a musician, I can't imagine getting much out of it

yw, penny

8:24 pm

back - missed quite the religious conversation, huh? ok - but now I have to go again - going to watch this movie....see y'all later or tomorrow!

you've got one to go, right?

8:24 pm

Well, karaoke's not much fun when the strangled cat in a tin bucket comes full-volume into your sitting room!

8:25 pm

fireworks finally - had the two grandchildren visiting so only got to work on and off. Older grandchild even put in 3 -4 words to help

later, green

yay, grace

8:25 pm

it's the challenage - i play guitar -and i just have fun getting points

8:25 pm

Well done, grace.

8:25 pm

yayayay grace

8:25 pm

se 5 10 anyone?

8:25 pm

'Bye, green.

8:25 pm

ren, try the singing...it's so unforgiving

oh, I see. it's the game aspect, not the music aspect. right, rennie?

8:26 pm

take the se 4/4 and add a...may i say this...and eye

se5/10 - add a vowel to the preceding word

8:26 pm

right tyger - you get points for hitting the right buttons

8:26 pm

se5/10 = 'mailed' + personal prononoun.

well, I think I like to keep my activities separated. :)

8:27 pm

Or even pronoun!

8:27 pm

oh good mistress - like a proper pronoun!!!

and with arthritis in thumbs, and carpal tunnel in the fingers .....

8:27 pm

i think you would lose tyger....

8:27 pm

The only thing I can play on guitar is the bass line for that old Blackfoot Sue song, 'Standing In The Road'.:(

8:28 pm

Only one left can't see the wood for the trees DE 5/12 please

my skin wouldn't toughen right for me to learn to play any strings. I tried when I was quite young

8:28 pm

My ex taught me to play that but, mostly, I had to sing to accompany him. 'Stairway to Heaven', that sort of thing. He did a fantastic adaptation of that.

8:28 pm

my next go is to learn the bass....

de5/12 - add snake to preceding word

8:29 pm

ren - bass is peanuts comapred to lead.

8:29 pm

2nd de 5/12 = thick

8:30 pm

Thanks tyger but got that one

adding a vowel works for both :)

8:30 pm

de5/12 - plural of the de4 before it or the next means 'thick as of fog or of brain capacity.

8:30 pm

good evening everyone!

8:30 pm

really mistress - i can play 6 and 12 string guitars, accoustic and electric - i look forward to learning to play a bass

8:38 pm

http://www.lizardleg.com/

8:38 pm

Although you do realise, I guess, Big Alkie, that whatever your sex, you will end up as 'Big Al' on here if you become a regular?

8:38 pm

Er... doesn't sound very appealing, nut.

8:38 pm

alkie to me, i prefer alkie

8:39 pm

i guess it doesn't look like lizards

8:39 pm

Well, on a site I was on for more years than here, nut, we had a Big Al. He was a Scots feller. Still is. LOL

8:39 pm

it's just a brand name

8:40 pm

Thanks to all. only been babbling for a couple of weeks but I'm Hooked.

8:40 pm

8:40 pm

Oh dear, Big Al. Did no one warn you when you first arrived? This IS a lifelong addiction.

8:41 pm

Welcome to Babble, Big Alkie

8:41 pm

Big Al is fine as I'm male and my name is Allan

8:41 pm

i think nut took down the warning sign and burned it in her woodburner

8:42 pm

Thanks Mom and Jac

8:42 pm

Nut, I'd prefer to smell of all the edible kind of smells that The Body Shop produces.

8:42 pm

i buy kelp soap

8:42 pm

i don't turn down free samples, no way

8:42 pm

Ren - did she? That was very naughty and remiss of her!

8:42 pm

even if i don't need it, i'll still take it

8:43 pm

Nut - I can't lol too much at that as I accepted a free sample of a hair calming serum yesterday in a shopping centre. Gave it to my daughter.

8:43 pm

yup she did...she'd take the masts if i didn't tie her to them

8:44 pm

Lash your sissy to the mainbrace, Ren!

8:44 pm

that's how i ended up with the mast

8:44 pm

what sample did you get nut? i like the looks of the carrot soap

8:45 pm

it didn't let me pick, just gave me and email to request from

8:45 pm

guess i would have requested the sand soap

8:45 pm

Oh, I just got handed a carrier bag... had no idea what was in it. LOL

8:46 pm

poo...so i guess i have to go to work tomorrow

8:46 pm

i recon i'd best get my nutty ass to bed

8:46 pm

ouch - sand soap? ouch opuch ouch

8:46 pm

It's Monday, so I guess you do, Nut...

8:46 pm

Hi Freepeace

8:46 pm

8:47 pm

That's the one and only thing that used to pe* me off at college... the Jewish girls got both the Jewish and the Christian holidays.

8:47 pm

nut only gets 1 day off for christmas

8:48 pm

I went into the office and tried to tell them I'd converted to Judaism. They laughed at me.:(

8:48 pm

8:53 pm

yayayayay mom!!!!!

8:53 pm

Yay, Mom and all finishers

8:53 pm

thank you, Ren!!

8:53 pm

So... I must just ask this... how come we lot can laugh and talk about religious differences, as can most of the people in the world... and then you get fanaticism in places?

8:53 pm

thank you Pam

8:53 pm

I guess that's the way of the world.:(

8:53 pm

Welll done, Mom.

8:54 pm

Thank you Jacula

8:54 pm

yep, jac... it is... fanatics need something to believe in...and punish people with...

8:54 pm

I haven't finished a grid since the end of November

8:54 pm

i guess we're just really nice peeps

8:55 pm

pam - I think that must be a problem within their own personal psychi and not a religious one, if truth be told.

8:55 pm

we care and joke - laugh and cry - share....

8:56 pm

ren, my love. We're all nice peeps who can be nasty if 'riled' (stirred up to anger).

8:56 pm

we're not totally selfish - i mean we share our clues and pictures and music

8:56 pm

But, we are all human beings and, surely, in the great scheme of things, that's all that matters and, if that thought is held by enough of us, we will survive.

8:57 pm

yuppers - i can be riled - i can kick butt real good - only if i'm riled tho

8:58 pm

I once shared my pictures re Flickr. But they disappeared yesterday on this site and I can't make them come back! I didn't even know they'd gone until FMitch told me. WAAAAAAH!

8:59 pm

I've tried every version I can think of for 'username' but no joy!

8:59 pm

you are so right - all your phtos disappeared! whatz with that?

8:59 pm

hello

8:59 pm

I agree, jac, that it's the psyche and not the religion....

8:59 pm

Ren - no idea, re Flickr.:((

8:59 pm

hi tree feather!!

8:59 pm

speaking of photos, mom brag post here....check them out on my facebook profile or on my blog!

9:00 pm

Hi, feather.

9:00 pm

tree's up, branches are straightened! decorations will go up tomorrow.

9:01 pm

evening all!

9:02 pm

No chance of getting a tree up here until all the members of my family remove what they've dumped from their rooms into that room. I have warned them that I am a menopausal woman, I'm getting very upset by this and that the next person who dumps anything in my sitting room will GET A HATCHET THROUGH THEIR HEAD.

9:02 pm

Hi, Cath. (Takes deep breaths in order to calm down to greet Babble friend.)

9:02 pm

we put our tree up yesterday...slowly decorating it

9:03 pm

eeeek jac! lol, you wouldn't like the rest of my living room then. i sort of pushed the toys to one side. will finish organizing them tomorrow.

9:03 pm

s'ok jacula...i totally understand the frustrations lol

9:03 pm

feather, toys were never a problem. Grown-up junk IS!

9:04 pm

*Takes more deep breaths nd tries not to look at the state of her home.*

9:04 pm

new icon pic too now.

9:04 pm

hi cath!!

9:04 pm

9:05 pm

9:08 pm

or fishnap, or fanship, etc

9:08 pm

tyvm ren

9:09 pm

Daughter went off earlier and I knew she's got a Marilyn Manson concert and The Clothes Show to go to this week. I thought tonight was The Clothes Show... but thought she was dressed and made up rather oddly for it! I'd got it wrong... it was the MM concert she was going to. ITake note, feather... daughter was a happy, peacful baby, too). Her parting shot was, 'I'll see you on Friday but I'll let you know if I break anything tonight.'.

9:09 pm

Very comforting! NOT!

9:10 pm

*shudders*

9:10 pm

Thanks for the maid, heather. Now, since my Other Half has her penned in a corner... any quick cleaning tips for the house? LOL

9:11 pm

hi all - on a mission here to finish this grid - anyone care to share a clue for the last se5,14? Marilyn Manson...wowsa jacula!

9:11 pm

lol

9:13 pm

Last se5/14 is either like the toilt tank without the pee or s + e*** fil (like Jason & The Argonauts' etc.

9:13 pm

omg that went right over my head!!

9:14 pm

Actually, heather, O/Ha;f is snoring still.. not for long though. He has to be up at 3.30am for work.

9:15 pm

Trying again bb.. se6/24 - a wound may go bad and become se6.

9:15 pm

For se5/4 - take the 'pee' out of the word.

9:16 pm

se + SORT WORD FOR A PHOTOGRAPH?

9:17 pm

SHORT, NOT SORT AND SORRY FOR SHOUTING.

9:17 pm

jac, do you mean take the "tea" out?

9:18 pm

Bernice - yes, I do.

9:18 pm

Youj are right. Long night. Sorry!

9:18 pm

gotcha (finally!!!) thanks guys!

9:18 pm

okay, Christmas tree is up

9:18 pm

was trying to remove the "pee," couldn't. thanks for clarifying.

9:19 pm

Sorry for misleading you, BB.

9:19 pm

wow mom - that's a big tree!!!!

9:20 pm

LOL, ren.

9:20 pm

it is a very full tree.

9:20 pm

Not as big as the tree in the shopping centre/mall.

9:20 pm

looks awesome!

9:20 pm

no, not quite that tall, Jacual

9:20 pm

big full tree!

9:20 pm

thanks you Feather

9:21 pm

darling picture of the boys, Feather

9:21 pm

Is that a real tree, MOM? If so, I don't envy you the stray pine needles for the next 18 months.

9:21 pm

Jacula*

9:21 pm

ty mom!

9:22 pm

ok, gotta go catch up on email

9:22 pm

later feather

9:22 pm

it is a real tree, that is why the sheet is under the tree and the red bag is a tree bag. Before you take the tree out you bring the bag up around the tree and tie it off. It is a God send.

9:22 pm

bye bye Feather

9:23 pm

The real problem begins when the dried out tree is taken outdoors again by 'the men'. If catches either side of the door or window frame and the needles S P R I N G! EVERYWHERE.

9:23 pm

lol Jacula. You must have been in our house 3 years ago, when we had our first real tree.

9:24 pm

Hence, we had a tree bag last year and not one needle on the floor on the way out the door

9:24 pm

You'll still be hoovering them up before you leave for your holiday in July.

9:25 pm

I think it will be tinsel I will be sweeping up this year. The boys are 23 and 19 and they were especially "creative" this year.

9:25 pm

Does the tree bag go atop it then, Mom?

9:25 pm

Oh, yeah, the tinsel sheds also.

9:25 pm

As does glitter...

9:26 pm

yes, the bag is put at the base of the tree and then you bring it up to the top and tie it off. Like a garbage bag.

9:27 pm

Sounds good, MOM. So, that just leaves the glitter and tinsel debris to deal with?

9:27 pm

yes, and that is at a minimum

9:28 pm

So, how do you deal with a daughter and a stepdaughter and also a Sikh friend... who just love spreading Christmas litter erm glitter all around?

9:28 pm

our neighbors put out their icicle lights in november

hi everyone :) nice and small I see ?

9:28 pm

phew, glad I have boys.

9:29 pm

Hi Mr P, how are you

9:31 pm

lol Jacula, I will keep that in mind.

9:31 pm

guess I should head off to bed, going shopping with my mom tomorrow. Can't wait.

9:31 pm

MrP - they do tend to do that, and resemble a bag with pebbles in the bottom. Given time, they will fill out again,.xxx

9:31 pm

Hello Room

9:49 pm

9:49 pm

hi geek!

9:49 pm

does anybody know to find the task manager?

9:49 pm

Hey, Geek... good to see ya!

9:49 pm

Hmmm, a 41-yr-old and a 62-yr-old discussing if life ever calms down. That does nothing to reassure this 50-yr-old! LOL

9:49 pm

what o/s mlf?

9:50 pm

My old publisher was a son of a gun, but that's not what you're asking, is it, MLF... LOL

9:50 pm

i have malware and it is on my task bar the manager thing but i dont know where

9:50 pm

Jacula... trust us, it rarely ever becomes dull... or, quiet... or accountably predictable.

9:50 pm

i have a dell

9:50 pm

tis the way of the world jacula...or so it seems ((((pant, pant...huff, huff..))) just trying to keep up with it all

9:50 pm

i have firefox

9:51 pm

i think u can just right-click on the task bar mlf...not sure tho. there are other ways to get to it i think

9:51 pm

My Other Half just came down, ready for work and I said, 'You smell nice! What have you got on?' I think his answer was 'spermicide'??

9:51 pm

and i think i have windows xp

9:51 pm

i have windows vista and just have to right-click on task bar

9:52 pm

xp should be similar i think mlf...right click then task manager comes up in the menu

9:52 pm

MLF.. have you looked in "tools" ?

9:52 pm

what is supposed to come up when i right click/

9:53 pm

if u right click on the taskbar...there should be a menu of items to choose and task manager is one of them

9:53 pm

clue for sy5/16 please

9:53 pm

navigation toolbar is the first thing that comes up

9:54 pm

do u have the sy4/7 tanja? if so...just add a double vowel to the end

ok, 11 left and have to go get children, bye for now

hey y'all!

9:55 pm

Hi, Ping!!

9:56 pm

hi scarlet!

9:56 pm

dunno then mlf..it must be different in xp, but i thought if u right-click on the task bar, task manager should be one of your choices....we have xp at work and that's how i access it there.

9:56 pm

How are you, Ping... gosh, I hardly get to see you any more... different time schedules, I guess!

9:57 pm

Cath, I can quite see how many in the 1800s got stoned on opium. LOL

10:16 pm

pi5/18....does it Pi*** your interest?

10:17 pm

de 6/27 is de + first four letters of a word that could be a drawing or a photo in a book

10:17 pm

yes....jac....so inadvertent tho it was....ahhhh...the good old days ;)

10:17 pm

between paregoric and laudanum, and that lovely new drink "Coca" cola... those genteel ladies were quite relaxed, weren't they?

Got it!!!

10:18 pm

Got it!!!

10:18 pm

Thanks!

10:18 pm

se6/24....when u use the washroom the waste often goes to a se**** tank

10:18 pm

Well, I'd like to say that I have NEVER been a drug addict, despite living through the 60s/70s etc.. but, I smoke, I drink, I don't smole grass, but I DO remember the squits medicine. Just as well as wasn't born in the 180s, eh?

10:19 pm

I am glad that children no longer die regularly of diarrheal illnesses -- or measles; that I have a warm house with big windows (those two used to be mutually exclusive)... I think the good old days might have been better in some ways, but certainly not in all.

10:19 pm

i'm not a druggie either jacula...tho in my teens and early 20's...before kids...ooooh....i did enjoy letting go now and then

10:19 pm

good clues cathy!

i smoke too jacula...and enjoy a nice toast now and then

10:20 pm

1800S, i MEANT.

10:21 pm

LOL Jac -- it's too early for you, eh?

10:21 pm

my aunt told me once that she breastfed her kids whilst smoking a cigarette! back then it was ok

10:21 pm

Cath - some part of me is wishing that when we were in Crete, we had gone into the opium den... but we couldn't... his parents were with us. LOL

10:21 pm

sheesh...and here to think i was off to bed over an hour ago....

10:21 pm

10:22 pm

10:22 pm

10:22 pm

stid - yes, there are! All around the world.

10:22 pm

ooohhh...give me a night off from parenting and i could use the relaxation of a nice mild high!

10:23 pm

Cath - you can't even smoke in your own home if my mad neighbour is next tpo you!

10:23 pm

10:23 pm

|However, we've been there before... let'ds not go there again.

10:24 pm

10:25 pm

need help w/ en6,8 please...

10:25 pm

k stid....watch out for the chocolate monsters!

10:26 pm

'Nite, stiddy.

10:26 pm

en6 = en + the fluid filled carbuncle...then past tense for the 8

10:26 pm

en + fatty lump on body. Then past tense of that.

10:26 pm

{{{hugs stidmama}}}

10:27 pm

(was carbunkle the correct word for that?)

10:27 pm

geez....thx!

10:27 pm

10:28 pm

10:28 pm

10:29 pm

10:30 pm

10:30 pm

ep7 = ep4/6 + plasti**** or playdough

10:30 pm

ep 8 is that pluralled

10:30 pm

Wonder how stid would have dealt with me reporting a naked man throwing a pile of washing at my feet on Saturday morn? Sprite nd Fran told me it was an invitation and I should 'jump him'. I, however, knew he had a hair appointent to get to and, yes, he did clote himself before going out to it.

10:31 pm

se5/10 = se4/4 before it + a vowel after it

10:31 pm

clothe, I meant.

10:31 pm

hi babblers

10:31 pm

any clues for the se 5/14?

10:31 pm

lol jacula!!!! you SHOULD have made him late for his appt!!!! ;)

10:32 pm

se6/24 = a consonant AprilD

10:32 pm

However, I think Stid and me have agreed to disagree, and still remain friends, about what is acceptab;e and unacceptable to type.

10:32 pm

thx, Cathyar..off to bed!

10:32 pm

ahh...but sometimes, you have to be yerself jacula!

10:32 pm

thanks, cath, got them!

10:33 pm

hi april

10:33 pm

i think stid still loves all of us...even with our faults! she's a pretty awesome lady!

10:33 pm

hi ping

10:33 pm

I am never anything less than myself, Cath. I'm 50! I may not have more than 20-40 years left to BE myself! So, I don't waste a moment!

10:34 pm

only way to be jacula!

10:35 pm

salud, jacula!

10:35 pm

i tried sooo hard most of my 41 years to please others...and ended up miserable myself...the only way to be honest with oneself is to be honest with others i think!

10:35 pm

not getting that clue for the se 5/14

10:35 pm

i mean, being yerself is being honest and true to who we are right?

10:36 pm

se + abbrev for photo
