12:38 am

i live at S end of NE Corridor and the N end of the SE one.

12:41 am

lol dc ...sounds kinda cryptic to me

12:41 am

enron :O

12:41 am

that is where we went...to newfoundland....was very scenic...and loved the people and the music

12:44 am

caves and such etc....

12:45 am

weatherwise thought dc I think you're much more S than you think lol

12:45 am

and though too!

12:45 am

NL with all the rocky bays and little towns....very relaxing.....all the people were friendly...most of the less friendly ones were the people who go there to work for the summer months and the tourists...lol

12:45 am

indeed so, just, we get more ice than snow usually. and were's Zone 6 plant wise, with Zone 7 hardy if sheltered.

12:46 am

we're hoping for good precip thin winter to break the drought.

12:46 am

like southern BC, DC!

12:46 am

nice I think we're between 3 and 4.....hmmmm maybe 2 and 3

12:46 am

I was away for a bit.

12:47 am

oddly, Maryland is Zone 5. The Potomac makes a big difference. Though when i lived in the city. the roses in front of our SE facing house bloomed at xmas. :)

horrible ice storms in the mid west.....I lived thru a nightmare of ice storms here 10 years ago :(

12:47 am

hudson is beautiful and I can well see that!

12:48 am

yes, there was a good batch of ice storms in 94-95, and 95-96 from what i recall.

12:48 am

we lost power for 9 days in Jan......thank gd for fireplaces

12:48 am

Jan '98 will never forget it

12:49 am

For visitors to Quebec, I recommend a trip to Tadoussac, at the junction of the Saguenay and St Lawrence rivers.

12:49 am

but in the scheme of things .katrina...the fires in Ca.....the mudslides.....this was a cakewalk

12:49 am

In the summertime, that is!

12:50 am

yes it is beautiful there jilli but best seen in summer! lol

12:50 am

Is winter in Quebec that much worse than in inland Maine or Mass?

12:50 am

lol :)

12:50 am

prob same as maine but less than mass

12:50 am

I think so, dc -- lasts longer, anyway, and goes father north

12:51 am

at least in the boston area

12:51 am

maybe northern mass

12:51 am

always visited there in July or October, never saw much by way of winter.

Head desk.

1:03 am

I did a few days ago and gave them a big serve!

1:03 am

they're gonna want you to pay...no ads.....heavy on the graphics

1:04 am

does the word 'over the grassy gn5' work for anyone else? won't work for me.....i'm sure i'm spelling it right

1:04 am

good!!!!!!

1:04 am

havent tried wordscape...figured oss and nana would let me know if it was worth it

1:04 am

think that would be a k banna

1:04 am

starts with a kn

1:04 am

banana, drop the 1st letter.

1:04 am

well that'd be why you didn't get an email then dart lol

1:04 am

I like babble because it's NOT a race against time and is about COOPERATING with other people

1:04 am

ah, ty dart

1:05 am

yes jilli

1:05 am

lol working with too many gnomes here at home

Jill i can poke at a grid all day

1:05 am

I'm probably a little more competitive I think jilli

1:05 am

I don't really care for wordscape, takes too long and too long a wait in between the rounds, just to get one word per time

1:05 am

without patience too lol

1:06 am

that's why I've come to like wordscape....it's strategic..and need word knowledge and not a race but not much chatting although you can

1:06 am

gnomes nana?

1:06 am

I didn't get any emails from iwin, finally sent them a ticket saying bring back the classics, they just sent an automated response

1:06 am

lol hubby is into dungeons and dragons

1:06 am

oic lol

1:06 am

I didn't like it at all at all at first banna but I've come to like it to a certain extent

1:07 am

I sent them a ticket too and didn't get any reponse

1:07 am

it was a grassy knoll, not gn

1:07 am

gnomes and trolls and ogre's, dragons and orcs etc....lol

1:07 am

ty jilli

1:32 am

broadly, jilli

1:32 am

so will the theme tomorrow start with the letter D

1:33 am

hmmmmm my almost 57 year old eyes aint seeing no distance sprite

1:33 am

as long as it is no K, I can live with it ;)

1:33 am

en5/10 i always orget

1:33 am

Mar, that is because it is a NEGATIVE distance

1:33 am

the next theme is the Friday one -- every Friday it's a word from the grid which will be a clue

1:34 am

dc, now relax, no need to be afraid of F words...

1:34 am

LOL :D

1:34 am

well I'm negatively positive sprite

1:34 am

or was that positvely negative

1:35 am

can't remember lol

1:35 am

i may flail flightily, but forsooth, rarely do i fear the finesse of the F!

I am so lost

1:35 am

Hi Ata

it is hysterically funny

1:49 am

wanna laugh...

1:49 am

hi ata

1:49 am

and very clever I might add

1:49 am

jilli: gave a sacred dance lesson yesterday evening. Still refusing to give that up, so a couple of times a year I take double dose of meds and pretend to be unhandicapped, and teach people to meditate/dance and move through symbols. It is wonderful! And it has a huge price tag, but that is ok.

1:50 am

even better!

1:50 am

hi Ata! *hug*

1:50 am

oh, that's a phrase that i grew up with. All the Slavs and Magyars in my family used it.

1:50 am

and Joes!

Sprite you are very clever

1:50 am

so you're hurtying physically today, sprite? Not spiritually, though, I hope.

1:51 am

why is that, lady??

1:51 am

Dancing and stuff

2:44 am

hi bfsog

2:44 am

ha ha yeah right, my last 10 words always take me the rest of the day! And anyway, Hobbit is already pestering ........

2:44 am

argh pink, pretty heavy schedule for you!

2:44 am

Hi bfsog & Infernal

2:45 am

my final one is a W4... shouldn't be impossible to find.

2:45 am

2:46 am

Congrats Sprite !!

2:46 am

yayyyyyyy sprite....^5 !!!!!!

2:46 am

im just in, nice grid today

2:47 am

I agree, very smooth one!

2:48 am

lol, I like the vid. Nice pick, chic!

2:49 am

hey guys - whats a phantom word? is it a word you can make in the grid but not conjoining letters?

2:49 am

brb

2:49 am

now I should collect all my courage and do the shopping

2:49 am

that, or a word that you can almost make even if the letters aren't all there

2:49 am

yes bfsog - or a word that might be missing 1 or 2 letters

2:49 am

bfsog: that can be a phantom, indeed. Or it is a word that is almost in the grid, but not quite. If we keep seeing a word in the grid that is not there, we call it phantoms.

2:49 am

*snap* Fran, again :)

2:50 am

bye sprite! (in case you're gone when i get back)

2:50 am

so for example, today arrest is a phantom

see you both later Fran & Sprite

2:50 am

bye frannie and sprite..its good to see you both!!!

2:55 am

be well, lynxxx

2:56 am

I start at the beginning and go till I finish

BF i go random to start with then specific letters

2:59 am

yeah igo for what i see then try and go a-z

3:00 am

this flip is a bit tricky, too many t's and l's!

Focus on one BF

3:01 am

just the right number of t's and l's o/w wouldn't be able to finish the grid

3:03 am

brb on the phone...

3:10 am

la 5,10 is sureely the plural or la4,4 but it isnt. very odd

3:12 am

im back

3:17 am

wb

3:18 am

BF its very quiet in here this morning

3:18 am

i wasn't able to enter la5,10 for a while, bfsog

3:18 am

i wasn't able to enter la5,10 for a while, bfsog think something could be wrong?

3:18 am

...grrrr double

3:23 am

yeah, i got la 5,10 first time but i think la 4,4 is the non plural of la5,10

3:23 am

odd

3:24 am

i fell into that same trap with the la4 and 5....it took a while to find the la4...i thought it was odd

3:24 am

...that they weren't related

3:25 am

okay they aren't

3:25 am

no not at all blue

3:28 am

i swear i put that word in already

3:29 am

i entered the la5 a couple of times and babble didn't take it...i thought i was going crazy

3:41 am

i stayed up all night to read IT by Stephen King

3:41 am

every night? that could wear on you ;)

3:41 am

i stay up all night reading books a lot. always have, ever since i was little.

3:42 am

lol, that was one night. ;p

3:42 am

suuuure. now we know how you feel about clowns

3:42 am

:-)

3:42 am

I was never any good at staying up all night, not even when I was a student. But now I sometimes lie awake all night cross 'cos I can't get to sleep!

3:43 am

aww hydra i feel your pain

3:43 am

i can't get to sleep unless i thoroughly exhaust myself

3:43 am

i should probably start excercising but i hate physical activity

3:43 am

I should put my insomnia to good use by playing Babble.Hey blue, you may have hit somehting there. I prob need more exercise!

3:44 am

I better start advertising, I have volunteered to do a marathon next year for a charity

3:44 am

yeah, exercising is where it's at

3:44 am

advertising, i meant exercising, im not awake yet!

3:44 am

Wow! Good for you, bf

3:44 am

whoa! intense, bf. ahahaha

3:45 am

Have u done any running before, bf?

3:45 am

should be good

3:46 am

yeah, i play football(soccer) a lot, and hockey, and i used to cross country at school, and i was in america last year and did a marathon there

3:46 am

maybe you could advertise for someone to run the marathon for you. :-)

3:46 am

Sounds like you're really fit. That's a help.

3:46 am

oh wait, that's what i would do.

3:47 am

where do you live, bf?

3:47 am

I am looking forward to it, its in a very scenic English town (Bath) I have never been there. I live in Scotland, UK

3:47 am

cool

3:48 am

that sounds like a great setting

3:48 am

yeah Bath has a lot of Roman influence, I will prob rent a b and b for the night before/night after, do some sight seeing

3:49 am

so soon I will be pestering you all for sponsorship!

3:49 am

i'm jealous!

3:49 am

it would be a waste if you didn't do that bf.

3:50 am

the sightseeing i mean, and i guess hitting everyone up for sponsorship. :-)

3:50 am

i'm gonna take a wild guess and say the two long re words are taken from roots i haven't found yet

3:50 am

yeah, the charity I am running for help homeless people

3:50 am

good for you, bf

3:50 am

if you mean the re7 and re8, no blue. the root isn't in the grid.

3:51 am

oh. ...

3:51 am

yay!

3:52 am

thanks fran

3:52 am

now i'm on a ro4

3:52 am

yw, i was just going to offer a clue, but you're just too quick. :-)

3:52 am

haha

3:52 am

i was trying to connect them to other words

3:53 am

instead of just following the letters like i should

3:53 am

im back..

3:53 am

hiya pink!

3:53 am

hi pink!

3:53 am

did you ask me before you left if i take anything for my insomnia?

3:53 am

actually putting common prefixes and suffixes on everything is a good strategy.

3:54 am

yeah, but it didn't work in that case

3:55 am

well...ah, whatever

3:55 am

anyone know what the 9 starts with?

3:55 am

en, fran

3:55 am

en

3:55 am

3:56 am

I keep being distracted

3:57 am

ooh, i didn't notice before. your camels are nice, fran

3:57 am

3:58 am

3:58 am

...why does that website exist

3:58 am

3:59 am

wow infernal, those are some major camels there!

I dont know

3:59 am

i wish i could forget this brand of ciggies exists D:

3:59 am

apparently camels are quite popular, of course there's a website for everything these days

http://www.camelphotos.com/ thats were i got my images

3:59 am

that's so weird

3:59 am

camelphotos

Sorry i have distraction times ten tonight

3:59 am

ahaha

4:00 am

4:00 am

whoa when did i get to seventeen left?

4:00 am

4:01 am

i mean

4:01 am

4:02 am

"View stunning images of camels and zebras too"

4:02 am

THE NAME IS A LIE

4:02 am

focus infernal focus!

My camel is the mongolian type

4:03 am

that's why they're so shaggy

4:03 am

"Why did I get a camel? Well I thought they would be like a big llama only with the advantage that you could ride them. I was wrong! They are much better than llamas, more like having a big puppy dog around. "

4:04 am

puppy dog

DId you know that camels have stones in their uterus if they are girls. To stop pregnancy. Ancient IUD

4:05 am

...what

4:05 am

they're born with the stones?

4:06 am

"The way of life these people live and the harmony they have with the animals is being lost as technology takes over. Very little has been done to capture their way of life whereas in places like Africa there are many books and documentaries about them." --the camelphotos guy on india

4:07 am

Fireworks for me!!!!

No the camel owners put them in their.

Yah pink

4:07 am

4:22 am

you really like madonna

4:23 am

lol, what can i say, i grew up with her

4:23 am

it's just the ratio of your madonna plays to the rest of the list

4:23 am

yay en vogue!

4:25 am

at least we have the classic rock in common

4:25 am

yeah i know that's the stuff that really counts

4:25 am

oh, and the only new music I get now is promo stuff for my husband, he's a dj

4:26 am

ohhhh

4:26 am

he buys the mainstream and urban radio promos every month

4:26 am

that makes sense

4:27 am

but i really do like a lot of different stuff, i'm just kind of stuck in the 90s. :-)

4:27 am

i'm not judging

4:27 am

i know that last.fm doesn't really accurately show music taste

4:28 am

however it is a nifty website

4:28 am

i wish i'd found it sooner

4:30 am

i wished i'd used it more consistently

4:30 am

there's about a year and a half i didn't use it

4:31 am

babbler, who keeps track of our icon themes is big into music, she's babs in my friends list.

4:38 am

Oh yuk Fran. Today is lovely and sunny but freezing cold here.

4:39 am

4:39 am

4:39 am

4:39 am

wtg blue...;-)

4:39 am

hiya colour!!

4:40 am

brrr frances

4:40 am

I know, I know

4:40 am

thank you Fran...we haven't had more than 5 minutes in a long time. The cold doesn't bother me, but the lack of sunshine does. I think we all need vitamin D3 IV drips

4:41 am

Don't mind it being freezing cold as long as it doesn't rain. I would rather have snow.

4:41 am

eva, a week of overcast days was making me feel sluggish too, i feel for you

4:42 am

definitely....snow is much better than ice!

4:42 am

give me the link blue and i'll tell you.

4:42 am

Vitimin D3 IV drips LOL

4:44 am

Hello all. down to last 2 and just can't figure them out. Any help with the re7 and re8? ty.

4:44 am

trying to think of a sunny place to go for a short visit. The desert sounds appealing. It's just such an effort to find someone to Merp sit, and to make sure the pipes don't freeze, etc

4:45 am

yeah, strange video blue!

4:45 am

nurse: one who empathizes is a re*****

4:45 am

nurse, or one who tells a story

4:45 am

nurse-odd spelling in the last syllable of what blue said. Or anagram for person who sells houses

4:46 am

i'm so excited. there's gonna be a spaaaaa

4:46 am

i'm watching all the fireworks videos now

4:46 am

here at 11:30pm it was 11 deg. and at 5:am it was 21deg. that tells me we are probley going to get more snow,yuck!

4:47 am

Well, how stupid of me. ty, blue, Fran, Eva. Funny how the last few just don't appear. Fireworks, and thanks to you all.

4:47 am

7 fahrenheit here. A little snow forecast but nothing major.

4:48 am

yay nurse!!!

I have already said that if it snows at Christmas im moving to Canada

4:48 am

it took me forever to find those re's too

4:48 am

wtg nurse...;-)

4:48 am

I would love some snow this year. In recent years we have a flurry of snow that lasts for about a day and then ..... gone.

4:49 am

36 farenheit here

4:49 am

ty . Cold here today and looking for some icy weather. BRRRR

4:49 am

it was that way here last winter frances....and really hurt the economy, which depends so much on the ski industry. Also just didn't feel like winter. But so far this winter we've had a total of about a foot.

4:51 am

to fight the winter blues, yesterday I gave the birds and squirrels a treat by filling the feeder with pure black sunflower seeds. They were ecstatic!

4:52 am

uno!

4:52 am

We can't win Eva. No snow - no skiing. Then the opposite, rain, rain and more rain spoils the summer. And boy did we have some rain this summer.

4:52 am

how many points total are there today?

4:53 am

hello again!!

4:53 am

nvm, done!

4:53 am

He3llo pink

4:53 am

4:54 am

Hello. Fingers are too cold to work properly!

4:54 am

4:55 am

that is what i feed the birds all of the time. We have three feeders out side the kitchen window and they are always full of all kinds of birds! Birding is a hobby of ours....;-)

4:55 am

Yay, Fran. Wish I were in your lovely state right now.

5:08 am

herin living near my mum helps so much....she is going thru the terrible 2s already frances

5:10 am

no a sunday fish...how have you been?...it has been a long while but, im back for good!!!

5:10 am

Pink, I look after my little granddaughter and I have to say we never did have the terrible 2s. I think I was lucky. We are very best friends. I adore her.

5:11 am

you were sooo fortunate, lil pink is a real handful and her favourite word is NO..NO and NO!!!!

5:11 am

YAY! I'm good thanks. Mr Fishbulb is in South Africa this week with work (lucky him) he's back on Sunday. I've been soo busy without him here. Am off work today and tomorrow to catch up on stuff! (And Babble :D)

5:12 am

what does he do fish?

5:13 am

something in computers, they're making him redundant and moving his job to SA - he's gone out there to show them how to do it (I think)

5:13 am

the most exotic place my work have sent me is Gateshead! lol

5:13 am

is that a permanent or temporary thing? LOLOL

5:14 am

We used to have a game when she said no. I would tell her that if she could last five minutes without saying that word we would have a game or do a jigsaw or some writing. Worked every time.

5:14 am

he'd better be blooming coming back (and with armfuls of birthday presents for me) hehe - the job move is permanent, but he's only there for the week

5:15 am

Annoying that he has to show someone else how to do the job that he is losing.

5:16 am

6:51 am

morning all

6:51 am

morning feather

6:52 am

alice -- for some of us it's nearly 5

bye lynxx :)

6:52 am

so the moms out there...how do you know if a baby just had a big spit up, or he is sick? daniel's been throwing up since yesterday, and nick had some big spit ups/throw ups this am. hard to tell

blimey...strange cuz i've just had lunch...its nearly 1pm here

6:52 am

Hi Babblers. Featherbee---you must be home with a sick kid?

6:53 am

feather - maybe just speak to doctor or nurse to be safe

hi scrabbs :)

6:53 am

feather, sounds like they are sick...hi scrabbler, just in time

6:53 am

We typed at the same time, feather. If this is new for Nick (to be a puker/spitter) then he probably has the same virus as Daniel. Any diarrhea kicking in yet?

6:54 am

bfsog--I am the official Babble pediatrician, LOL

6:54 am

oh right! hmm i shall bear that in mind

6:55 am

not yet, his diaper was all pee this am, and daniel seems fine. i just gave him a popsicle, as he was insisting on breakfeast, even though he just threw up!

6:55 am

good morning all..i have a question for the old timers

can someone give me a clue for no,5 please

6:56 am

Well, you know what to do--an electrolyte liquid for Nick and clear fluids for Daniel (no juice).

6:56 am

in the archives, are the winners listed in order of who solved it first..on down to last?

6:56 am

I hope they get off easy with this virus, Featherbee--some brief puking and no diarrhea.

6:57 am

nick's always been a spitter, but this was twice, big ones, fairly forceful. he's in his second outfit today! I'm still nursing nick, i was just planning on nursing as much as he needed

6:57 am

poor daniel had it all day yesterday. i had hoped he'd be done with it today!

6:58 am

aww, i wish you could all see nick right now. in his bouncer, holding his burp cloth like a lovey, sucking his thumb. so cute.

6:59 am

i think so reddawn

7:00 am

ty featherbee

alice plural of no4/4

7:01 am

Just nurse Nick for very short periods so he doesn't get as much in his belly, and YES he is a cutie.

thanks

7:02 am

19 to go..

7:02 am

The vomiting part of the illness usually lasts 24 hrs or so and diarrhea typically begins in the midst of the puking if it is going to happen.

7:02 am

Go bfsog go!!!

7:03 am

he's a quick nurser anyway, so that'll be easy. often 5-10 minutes. ok, so the grid....since daniel's laid very low today, i'm going to do it in between laundry loads. how is it today?

7:03 am

I have found 4 words so far--am mostly concerned about Daniel and Nick and Featherbee.

still got 63

7:03 am

Scrabbler, I wish you were around for advice my entire childhood! My family has an "it'll go away" policy, heh

7:03 am

hey uniq

7:03 am

aww, ty scrabs

7:03 am

Alice...I spy you!

7:04 am

Well, most illnesses in childhood DO just go away, but there are comfort measures and things to watch for.

i spy u too jadith

hello everyone

7:05 am

Hi Bf and Mr. P :)

7:05 am

hi mrp

7:06 am

Hi MRP--would you like some snow? It is coming down hard here. Feather, you will have this storm later.

7:06 am

hi all, feather that pic is *adorable*

7:06 am

yep, our schools are already closed in anticipation

7:06 am

7:07 am

good thing, since i had called for a sub last night

7:07 am

So you are not missing school today, Feather?

7:07 am

nope!

7:07 am

How fortuitous, feather! (I love big words.)

7:08 am

we're on a storm warning 7am to 7pm, rates up to an inch an hour at times, and 6-10 inches total last time i looked

no snow for us!

7:15 am

I have 3 7's and 1 8.

7:16 am

scrabbler---the plural of the person who signs you up

7:16 am

it's an EN. start by making an EN word that means to register for classes, and add on

wow, some of these are abit tough

I may need to use the list

7:17 am

TY--I had the ro6 within that already. DUH!

7:18 am

7:18 am

7:19 am

7:21 am

Daniel will be happy about that! Well, if he can stop being sick (hopefully)

thanks for the 9 clue Annie

7:24 am

That's good! ...This game is amazing. And addictive.

7:24 am

Scrabs how is your friend Mary doing?

7:24 am

7:24 am

i aint going for lunch til i finish, but im hungry!

7:24 am

Hi Peri, and 'soggy', you can do it!

ah, thanks for the 9

It is addictive.. I have hit a brink wall at the moment, but I am sure things will come to me.. ha ha

can I have clues for the re 7 and re8

7:27 am

7:28 am

Johnny, have you looked at the clue lists provided by Lickety and Brandy Jack? They're amazing for when you're stuck!

7:28 am

someone who tells a story, mrp + the pl....hi everyone!

7:28 am

thanks Aloy and hi

7:28 am

(use either, ** at the end)

7:29 am

7:29 am

Hello from a gray, rainy, sleety place today

huh.. I haven't which one is the best uniq

thanks so much :))

7:30 am

bull fighters, but i have that one i need the other

7:30 am

hi peri.. sunshine here in fla!

7:30 am

ol4/4 after cheers is a big pot

7:30 am

mornin babblers!

7:30 am

okay, I am coming down for a visit Aloy :-)

7:31 am

hi Eva

thanks again peri

7:31 am

I use Lickety's because I am a fan of bable expert, but it really just depends on how much help you want. BJ's is in bab. anon. (underneath the grid), and lickety's is a stand alone, also underneath the grid.

7:31 am

give me a d***r and i'll give you a clue, lol

7:31 am

I find Lickety's to be idiot proof and therefore amazingly helpful, but if you just want a nudge, you might prefer BJ's

7:31 am

big pot?

7:31 am

np mrp

I use Lickety because I AM A HUGE FAN OF HIS :)))

oh, I must be an idiot then

7:32 am

I have en8/40, re8/40 what am I missing

7:32 am

And because Lickety is the most amazing person on the face of the planet :) I get very upseton the rare days when the list doesn't come up.

7:32 am

might you be jus a wee bit biased mrp :-)

7:32 am

i think Lickety has a HUGE fan club all across the world! (-:

7:32 am

you are definitely not an idiot mrp

7:33 am

Uh-Oh. Idiot proof = bad term?

7:33 am

I was checking e-mail, Periwinkle. I spent the afternoon with her yesterday and told her that you are doing distance reiki to help her. An MRI Tues showed reduction in the tumors! She has her last radiation treatment today and will continue chemo. She is very weak and the next focus is intense PT and OT.

well, he developed it for me... ergo ... idiot proof

7:33 am

how is everyone today??

7:33 am

hi Eva!

7:33 am

I sent Reiki last night and will continue to do so, Scarbs. thanks for the update

ok.. great. Iwill check then.. I need to one that helps that is for sure... I have only done like 30 on my own thus far.. ha ha

7:34 am

Oop...Not my intention! Just saying it is easier (for me) than BJ's. I like the filling-in

7:34 am

bah i need help - ar 5,10. at 7,28. en 4,4. er 4,4. ol 4,4

7:34 am

I am an idiot too, so I like his list as well.

7:34 am

anyone have a clue for the last 8

7:34 am

he Eva

uniq! so do I... I have a life and being able to finish in a short time is my dream!! so I use lickety!

What is BJ's.. i don't see anything there like that. I see lickets though

7:34 am

I mean HI Eva

7:35 am

I have never finished a grid without Lickety's...I think maybe he should start charging for bab. expert! Lol...that would be bad, as I can't even get pro yet

7:35 am

I need re8 then.

7:35 am

ar + *** Brown and his band of reknown... (for those of you old enough)...

7:36 am

re8 someone who tells a story, pl

7:36 am

BJ's is a link inside Babblers Anonymous (in general, i believe)

7:36 am

pl of re7.28, Scrabbler

Lickety would get so cross at me when he would leave for work and I would start babble.... he would get home and I am still on babble.... so he developed babblexpert. I am happy :)) he is happy :)) we all are happy :)) He has his washing done :))

7:36 am

Aloy I am probably old enough but I don't get your clue

7:37 am

I love this game but don't like to spend all day sitting at the computer

7:37 am

ar + more or ***s

7:37 am

MrP, when you put it like that, This list is the sweetest gift anyone could EVER make for a babbler!

so peri, do you use babblexpert??

7:38 am

I like being ABLE to come back adn chat if I want, but being able to finish in a reasonable time is important.

thanks aloy :)) lovely to see you too

7:38 am

of course I do mrp, almost every day, don't know what I would do without it

7:38 am

5 left...

yes uniq. this is the way I like it :))

7:39 am

Aloy does the last 8 start with ar, I am confused

7:39 am

I rarely even both closing babble expert...it is a staple on my lappy

peri is awesome :)))

7:40 am

**bother. Sigh

7:40 am

peri, i was just saying that re8 is a pl of the word before it

7:40 am

:-)

7:40 am

already halfway done...wow!

7:41 am

and I have the re8, and the en8 still looking for the last 8, not using babble expert yet

7:41 am

yay! daniel kept the first popsicle down for an hour

7:41 am

Yay feather! Progress!

7:42 am

My Dad is a big fan of the popsicles when you're sick. It is nearly a comfort food for me now

oh darlings! I would love to stay, but it is beddie bye time! Love to you all.... btw.... our sale has gone through and we are committed to selling our home I will be off line for a little while after new year :)

7:42 am

Yay Mr. P! Enjoy your sleep

7:42 am

bye, mrp.. sweet dreams

7:43 am

brb

7:43 am

my real illness comfort food is chocolate mousse, strangely enough. The one time I've been really really ill, the only thing I could keep down for about a week was chilled choco mousse. NO idea why. But ever since, its the one thing I like eating when ill

7:43 am

tx aloy - it's the babble expert that helps for me!!

7:44 am

Congrats to asg, and to Daniel.

7:44 am

Congrats asgreen!

7:44 am

And Ata - I think that would push me over the edge to puking, something I do only once every few years.

7:44 am

I LOVE chocolate mousse/pudding/ice cream!!! Those are my comfort foods.

7:44 am

bf did you get it? it rhyms w/what you store something cremated in

7:44 am

yay for asgreen...my comfort food as a child and still is, is mashed pototoes

7:45 am

And TY for re8--I found it.

7:45 am

*rhymes

7:45 am

at 6,18? the latter

7:45 am

Oh, yes, Annie.

7:45 am

I agree, Uni! I have *no* idea why it seems to work with me!! It just *does*

7:45 am

I had been starting with the wrong re for a while. Village idiot here.

7:45 am

HI Ata

at 7?? any hints?

7:45 am

at + past tense of rip

7:45 am

Well, at least it's something yummy! Maybe it's the texture? So smooth, which seems to be the key.

7:46 am

pl of the one above that I just clued

atrap

im confused

7:46 am

I have not been able to drink milk since I was 7 years old and someone gave it to me when I was sick to make me get over it faster...I don't get the logic, but milk is just GROSS ever since.

7:46 am

oh yes, maybe ... but I've never been able to have chocolate mousse as a proper dessert since then! I just so much associate it with illness

7:47 am

I am like that with Mexican food, Uni--I ate it the night of my gall stone attack when I turned jaundiced and went o the hospital.

7:47 am

at + to4, johnny

7:47 am

at 6 is at+ meaning for past tense of rip, at7 is that, plural

duh.. thanks so much. i guess you stare at it too long, you miss the obvious

7:48 am

son is still home sick - I'm going to snuggle w/him - be back to clue later!

7:48 am

72 left for tonight, but it iwll be late. I work 11-6 then have a dental cleaning/check-up from 7-8.

7:48 am

rip as in rest in peace?

7:49 am

Enjoy the day everyone!

7:49 am

no, as in to4 :)

oh ok. i was thinking a rip like a pair of pants or something you mess up.. ha ha

7:49 am

7:50 am

ooh, cool

8:46 am

Why the black icon nb?

8:47 am

funny you should ask

8:47 am

it started out as a commentary on the nihlistic futility of it all rather than a failed attempt to upload a cool photo

8:48 am

today, it is my feelings toward the holidays- at the moment

8:48 am

Well, life is always better when you are making a statment! Bad day?

8:49 am

chaotic, tense, and tired (i haven't been sleeping well)

8:49 am

Oooh, that definitely adds an element of stress. Perhaps you should go attempt a nap rather than babble

8:50 am

I hope things get better for you though!

8:50 am

thanks, but i help my child's teacher today, lol. maybe after!

8:51 am

bye, must go get the boy to school- have fun all

9:54 am

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

9:55 am

I wanted to go to the bank, but I don't think I will go.

9:55 am

It amazes me the risks people take when out - like jumping out from side streets

9:55 am

That would be cars jumping out, not people... lol ;-)

9:56 am

mkg... I have no idea

9:57 am

I'm worried about my hubby because he had to go to New Jersey today for work. It will take him FOREVER to get home tonight & he'll be in a bad mood when he gets home.Bad weather & traffic really pisses him off

9:57 am

9:58 am

hi min

9:59 am

He also drives a van which doesn't have 4wheel drive

9:59 am

hi lbd and min...doing fine, thanks, and you?

10:37 am

It is a snow day here for me.So I get to babble all day

10:37 am

yup, same here min.. would have been a good day for 300+ grid

10:38 am

no new snow here. but it's cold! 14°F

10:38 am

Yes it would have been.I have one word left and I am saving it for later or 'til someone clues. Refuse to ask

10:39 am

do we have any babblers from the north american midwest? i wonder if the power is back on in Oklahoma?

10:39 am

ouch, lbd. stay inside. and min, I know what you mean, I've done that sometimes on tiny grids

10:39 am

I am supposed to get 6 to 10 inches here in New York

10:39 am

how much snow do you have minver?

10:40 am

We probably have a few inches so far,but it is falling fast and steadily. It has been since 9:30 this morning

10:41 am

I keep hearing the plows going up and down my road.

10:41 am

yes, it is a very heavy fast snow here... started as hail for a few noisy minutes, then settled down into big fluffy flakes

10:41 am

we don't have snow days unless it gets so bad that the parking lots are all too full of snow....the last time our state gov shut down because of the weather was 1989.

10:42 am

before that it was the mt st helen's eruption in 1981

10:42 am

or was it 1980?

10:42 am

I see that you are from New Jersey.That's where my husband had to travel to for work today.But he is on his way home now. It'll take him forever to get home!

any clues for the o words i only have 1

10:43 am

nerol

10:43 am

crap, sorry

10:43 am

at least it was right!

10:43 am

Hello johnnyrocket!How are you?Welcome to the grid

10:43 am

our school is in a regional district for high school, so if the high school won't send out buses, they close even our district, which is two neighborhood k-8 schools and the kdis would have no problem getting there. I sort of wish we didn't close school

10:44 am

Even the schools don't have any snow days harpjane?

10:44 am

actually, we did have a partial snow day a few weeks ago, because the power was out

10:45 am

I do not mind snow days being that I am a teacher. I don't like it though when we have too many&have to make up the days in the summer. That happens a lot.

hi everyone!

10:45 am

So I would call that a power outage half day harpjane

10:45 am

that's my concern too, min... which is why I don't think they should close for four inches

10:45 am

owl! long time no see

10:45 am

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

10:46 am

the kids don't like it because they have to make it up on a saturday during good weather....

gee doren, i was thinking the same! how are you?

10:47 am

I'm good... home due to the snow, feeling lazy and still in pj's.

bad enough for that, then? although tit seems to me they close for every little storm anymore

10:49 am

They could NEVER make teachers here come to work on a Saturday! The union would not allow that Dorens

10:50 am

I just got dressed myself not very long ago Dorens. I am even still wearing my work clothes today. LOL! :)

10:51 am

They could NEVER make teachers here come to work on a Saturday!The union wouldn't allow that harpjane

10:51 am

I meant for that post to be for harpjane, not Dorens

10:51 am

i will be wearing warm and comfy sweats.... not going anywhere today, if no school, why bother going out

10:52 am

is the re7 a common word? is it to do something or other again?

10:52 am

i know the drive home would have been hairy, but honestly I think we could have handled it. And I knew that min! our union wouldn't either!

10:52 am

Our schools have built in snowdays, so there are some leeways for the weather. but it takes a lot of nasty weather for the districts to use them

10:52 am

anagram the guy who sells houses, harp

10:53 am

Harp, Min gave a great clue for me, another spelling of one who sells houses

10:53 am

we have four built in, but at this rate, we will probably use them up before march

10:53 am

thanks.....

10:53 am

I already had my clothes out ready to wear today. I thought it would bbe easier to wear them and throw them in hamper than to put them back in the closet.

my niece & nephew alread get out right before July 4!!! we were always out by mid june

10:55 am

Yes, we go until the end of June every year & every year people are shocked at how late I always get out

10:55 am

they are so rarely used here; snowdays... infact, i think it was last year or the year before that the district gave a "snowday" just to use up the leave time. the funny part is, the next week really was a nasty wintery day and they had to make up the day in June!

10:56 am

Min, when does your school year Start?

i think so much time off during the school yearis bad for kids - meaning extended breaks.

hey dawg!

10:57 am

Morning, all!

10:57 am

owl. your neice and nephew in NJ??? that is really late

10:57 am

hi judi

10:57 am

geez, the kids here seem to be out all the time for one reason or another. PIR days, teacher state conference, the sun is shining on Mt Baldy...

10:57 am

Hey TO! Hi Judi

10:58 am

11:01 am

same here feather

11:01 am

ok everyone, yell at me if i'm still sitting here at quarter after! i need to put the fragile decorations on the tree before daniel wakes up

11:02 am

we get wed/thurs/fri around thanksgiving, then a week+ for christmas this year. it all depends on what day christmas lands on. then a week in february, which i HATE, i'd actually rather have school then, and also a chunk of days around easter.

11:03 am

oh I like the week in february... if i can get to a warm climate for that week... my bones get a chance to thaw out

11:03 am

Afternoon all........I wont yell at you feather I think its nice to do that while kiddies are asleep

11:03 am

for a K teacher, february is the busiest month...groundhog's day, president's day, chinese new year, valentine's day, 100th day, healthy heart month, teeth month....it's so hard to get everything in, and now they've put a week's break in there. augh!

gee i am stuck at 45 left

11:04 am

no no, yell at me if i'm still here on the computer, instead of getting up to do the tree!

11:04 am

LOL...thanks! now do that again in 10 minutes

11:05 am

I hate having a week off in February as well.It seems like I just returned from the holiday break. I'd much rather have a week of in March since March is a long month expecially with no holidays in it featherbee.

Hello Chris P!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

12:33 pm

min did you put in your last word yet?

12:33 pm

Hi Minver. I'm good thanks. Just finished my working week.

12:34 pm

No I haven't. Nobody has asked for the clue and I do not want to ask for it. I know I have time to find it.

12:35 pm

might be worse i need 45!!

12:35 pm

Chris I just read your interesting profile. Thank you for sharing.I am glad you and your hubby are happier

12:36 pm

I am here to help with clues diem should you need any

12:36 pm

Yes, we've really taken a lot of the stress out of our lives and are doing jobs we enjoy. Plus we have time to stop and smell the roses.

12:38 pm

Tks but i get as far as i can no list its no big deal if i dint finish i think half way i win

12:39 pm

That is really important to stop and smell the flowers!

12:39 pm

or in our case, stop to feed the swans, ducks and geese on our local pond

12:40 pm

Those are some very cool looking clouds in your icon!

12:40 pm

they're called jellyfish clouds and are apparently very rare - saw this picture on a newspaper site.

12:41 pm

My hubby and I don't have kids either.Not sure if we will, but I'm also not sure if I'll have regrets if I don't.

12:42 pm

I just looked at them again.They DO look like jellyfish

12:42 pm

I never wanted kids, but also thought the biological clock might kick in - but it never did and now we think 'thank goodness'!!

12:43 pm

He DEFINITELY wants children. I'm not so sure myself

12:44 pm

My hubby did for a while, quite a few years ago, but then changed his mind

12:46 pm

I don't think mine will change his mind, but we'll see.I know I'm not getting any younger. If we do we need to do it soon,but need to work out some things first.

12:47 pm

I can imagine it would make a big change to your life. We've got quite selfish now and are used to doing what we want, when we want. Plus we like to travel, which would have been difficult with sprogs.

12:48 pm

Yes, we are quite selfish too with our time. We don't like to travel, but we are selfish with our time. I like to sleep late and I cannot imagine getting up at 6:00.

12:55 pm

it's gone quiet - have we scared everyone away with our slightly anti children talk?

12:57 pm

nope

12:57 pm

still here

12:57 pm

I think we were the only 2 people here when we first started talking. I was wrong, diem & Niamh are here.

1:00 pm

evening all

1:00 pm

Tree is FINALLY decorated,but it looks a little bare!I did find some broken ornaments so maybe that's why

Goodbye Chris P! Thanks for the chat. See you later!

1:05 pm

Oh Min, that is a bunch of snow.

1:05 pm

you all are probably more equiped to handle it though

1:07 pm

I'm hoping for another day off tomorrow, but I think that is wishful thinking.It is a fast moving storm and will be gone by tonight. I will take my time getting to work tomorrow.I will get there whenever I get there

1:08 pm

hello all -- my computer is being mean...

1:08 pm

good idea, Min. No job is worth having an accident for

1:08 pm

but YAY for the finishers (and for Min's day off)

1:08 pm

{{Stid}} hello

1:08 pm

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

1:08 pm

well send it to a time out then stid!

1:09 pm

Is that why I haven't seen you due to puter problems

1:09 pm

I would, but I really want to finish. got to 49 last night without the list, now have list in hand, ready to go!

1:09 pm

I am here to help with clues if you need any stidmama

1:10 pm

thanks Min -- I probably will...

1:10 pm

maybe if you just kick it a little?

1:12 pm

rofl... ah! if only! *grin* I DO have the extended warranty... *looks sternly at computer* so it's not that far-fetched an idea!

1:13 pm

there we are, down to 31...

1:14 pm

I work in IT, I'm a professional puter kicker!

1:14 pm

RA 6 please?

1:15 pm

ra 6/18 is rodent + cross letter plus not off stidmama

1:15 pm

Niamh -- I wish I had the ability to keep more than one thought in my brain, IT work fascinates me. But I last the "stick-to-it-ive-ness" that is necessary.

1:15 pm

thanks Min!

1:16 pm

yw

1:16 pm

I had tried the standard spanish (only one cross letter) a million times...

1:16 pm

under 20. ;-)

1:17 pm

I look at it like a puzzle that needs to be figured out, I love puzzles

1:17 pm

okay, this RE 7 has me flummoxed. Tried it last night, no luck. It's my last R combo...

1:17 pm

does it build off another word?

1:18 pm

re 7/28 is anagram of one who sells houses stidmama.

1:18 pm

thanks Min *thinking*

1:18 pm

the re7 is like the person who sells houses, just switch the positions of two letters

1:18 pm

got it!!! (great clue)

1:18 pm

re8/40 is plural of the re 7/28 word I just clued for U

1:18 pm

Rs removed...

1:18 pm

hi inge2!

1:18 pm

1:18 pm

Hello inge2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

1:19 pm

1:21 pm

Congrats Stid!!

1:21 pm

bonjour uneaixoise!

1:21 pm

Congratulations stidmama on fireworks!Good for you

1:21 pm

Aix, hi

1:21 pm

salut, stid! :-)

1:21 pm

hey, inge :-)

1:22 pm

Hi Une

1:22 pm

I'm in the same boat inge2!Today's a snow day for me

1:22 pm

Niamh -- do you like sudoku? My Tom and the elder boy do, their minds work right to make it fun for them. I find it tedious... but they are both great at IT work. very detail-oriented. :-)

1:22 pm

hi, mom!

1:22 pm

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

1:22 pm

Hello all

1:22 pm

I do sudoku, yes

1:22 pm

Hi Peri

1:22 pm

hi peri! how are you? did you get any responses from that ad you placed?

1:22 pm

hey peri :-)

1:23 pm

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

1:23 pm

not so much online... I like to scribble

1:23 pm

hi peri

1:23 pm

the only response I got so far was from another magazine asking if I wanted to place an ad at a much higher cost, I said no thanks

1:23 pm

no response re the error in the ad

1:23 pm

I like shape or color sudoku better than numbers. Even though it ought to be the same principles, my mind "sees" graphics easier than numbers.

1:24 pm

never heard of shape or color sudoku, I would like that better than numbers

1:24 pm

wow, that's too bad. But I will keep thinking positive thoughts about it and hope someone calls.

1:24 pm

I like them all, my very favorite puzzles are cryptograms

1:25 pm

I have done two loads of laundry and vacummed the living/dining area and hallway, whew!

1:25 pm

I used to do cryptograms, not sure why I stopped. I'll blame it on the kids... ;-)

1:25 pm

I am now addicted to Noggin on facebook

1:25 pm

thanks so much stidmama

1:25 pm

blaming kids for stuff is why we have kids isn't it?

1:26 pm

wow peri! way to go! I spent two hours binding the cookbooks a middle school class has put together... and got the dishes done and some laundry in. THEN I finished the grid

1:26 pm

don't have kids and blaming the cat is not quite the same

1:26 pm

I LOVE Cryptograms!I used to do them all of the time

1:27 pm

I rarely clean, I absolutely HATE doing housework but my cat refuses to do anything at all

1:27 pm

Noggin is fun, too. But I have been enjoying the children's wii this week... except for Babble that's where my spare time has gone.

1:27 pm

our morning paper has Crytoquips, which I do each day

1:27 pm

isn't that fun, Stid?

1:27 pm

Only thing I accomplished today was decorating tree

1:27 pm

oh I dunno... blaming cats is something my dogs excel at.

1:27 pm

that is an accomplishment, Min

1:27 pm

You all are way ahead of me. I am having a lazy day today

1:28 pm

Min, that's actually a good accomplishment. Our tree this year is mostly red and white. Stidkid#2 and I did it this year. Left off a whole bunch of other ornaments.

1:28 pm

Took me a long time because I was distracted by log.

1:28 pm

lazy day... what I had hoped for (the kids are out of school next week), but not what I am getting. That's okay.

1:28 pm

I'll have a lazy day next month.

1:28 pm

welll I am off to play noggin, see you later or tomorrow

1:28 pm

bye Peri

1:28 pm

later peri! {{{hugs}}}

1:29 pm

I could use some of the ornaments stidmama.My tree looks bare.I just finished and realized it looked bare.

1:29 pm

it is the first day I have gotten to stay home. I will get a second wind here soon. (I hope)

1:29 pm

I had lazy weekend last weekend and lazy day today.

1:30 pm

Goodbye periwinkle!I will see you tomorrow in the log

1:30 pm

lazy days are good, only thing is I tend to beat up on myself for taking them when there is so many other things I could be doing

1:30 pm

If I am off again tomorrow I'll go buy more ornaments

1:31 pm

Not me,my hubby does a good enough job doing that.

1:31 pm

now that is a plan, Min

1:31 pm

beating up on you for taking a lazy day?

1:31 pm

For example, if he comes home to see me babbling on my day off he will ask me why I didn't clean the house

1:32 pm

did you tell him cleaning house is over rated?

1:33 pm

My hubby believes that I spend too much time on the computer & not enough time on the house. He's right

1:33 pm

LOL Mom!

1:34 pm

LOL min

1:34 pm

Well, it's too late for me to do that now. I'm 36 years old. Not sure if I will ever have kids with my husband.

5:16 pm

Had this discussion earlier w/another babbler today.

5:17 pm

min never to late but i won't do it myself

5:17 pm

i tell friends just get a dog these days cause kids are getting worse

5:17 pm

I meant it's too late to start doing it when I'm young.

5:18 pm

Yes, my husband wants a dog, but I do not want one.

5:18 pm

You know, if you don't want kids, that is your business and no one should pressure you.

5:19 pm

oh i understood that but really if i knew then what i know now (i love my kids ) but i would have got dogs instead

5:19 pm

just putting in my 2 cents worth........... sorry

5:19 pm

lol np snags

5:20 pm

Hello snags! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat

5:20 pm

i no a gal that is 36 and had a child 6 months ago and wants another..omg i wouldn't do it myself

5:20 pm

Can you give your 2 cents to my M-I-L who pressures

5:20 pm

I think the world is headed for disaster and bringing children into the world today is probably a mistake

5:20 pm

yes Min, I could.............

some people actually both want and do better having kids in their 30s

5:21 pm

Thank you Min, have been doing the puzzles off and on for about a year

but nobody should be pressured into having kids

5:21 pm

joanne i know someone like that too and it took them a while to have the one they do now. he is only a little over a year old

5:21 pm

agree tyger

5:22 pm

i had one dog ..a beagle ..my baby.. not i have another beagle that i took in cause nephew couldn't properly take care of him...i love em to death and they unconditionally love u back with no drama life has to offer

I do like to see smart people with good habits of their own reproduce, but sometimes those people have their own reasons why it's not a good idea

5:23 pm

I only have 61 words, how many are there?

118

5:23 pm

yw

5:23 pm

yeap..it was... I just recruited one of the neighbours to come over and distract hubby from doing more..he wants to keep cleaning.. he was in charge of our son's room and I did our daughters...if he had done our daughter's there would have been about 28 bags of junk

5:53 pm

oh you look funny doing the funky chicken scar!!

5:53 pm

Got the, erm... mail. I have a doozy for you, too, but this day is not yet over... so there may be more incredible details to add... later... I rarely get stopped in my tracks, but today did just that, kat.

7:08 pm

Congrats Dorens! I just finished too :)

7:08 pm

eil, it helps to open lickety in a separate window if you can

right click on lickety and open in a different window

7:08 pm

and how are the points scored per word?

7:08 pm

eilmar, do you use tabs? do lickety on one tab, babble on the other. or, you can open a separate browser window, and resize them both to fit on the screen. finally, you can email lickety and ask for the babble expert browser, which will let you do lots of fun stuff.

congrats uni

7:08 pm

hooray uni!

7:43 pm

So sad, I know. Especially this time of year. Last week, but don't remember the day.

Krista THank you. I didn't know.

nor did i.

I am sitting here bawling my eyes out. SHe was such a brave woman

7:44 pm

7:45 pm

I am DONKEOT

Thank you for saying something Krista

7:46 pm

YW. There was a lot of chat about it; I guess you just didn't happen to be on at the time. Lots of sad folks. {{{{Hugs, Herin honey}}}

7:46 pm

you still here, Ang? I'm signing off for the night. night all.

7:47 pm

I was here when 2 deaths were announced... didn't know what to say

7:47 pm

On the Babblecast, Stidmama mentioned something about another Babbler passing away..I didn't catch who the other was

7:47 pm

Goodbye leadsinger!I will see you tomorrow in the log

7:47 pm

Another babbler, Dilly, also passed away not long ago

7:47 pm

right, Lady..I didn't know there were two until today...Oh, thanks Min. Sigh.

where was grannymax from?

7:48 pm

I will happily clue for the next 15 mins

Thanks I will have a look through the archives. Damn it i didn't know she was so ill. I knew she was sick. Lady Grannymax was a very brave woman. Min what was Dillys full name

7:48 pm

Saphyre lives in Md on the Bay, and Granny was her neighbor

7:49 pm

*feels ignored and poofs*

From Grannys Profile

7:49 pm

From what Saphyre said, Babble gave her a lot of pleasure in her final days. That should be a comfort to know you could do that just by being there.

grannymaxx is a 64-year-old female from Waldorf MD in the United States. Love my husband of 36 years, my two sons, my 2 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. I also have a terrier mix named Jaxon. Love to read (voraciously), work jig-saw puzzles, and cross word puzzles!!! Love to try new recipes. Right now I'm going thru chemo treatments but instead of "pity party", thanks to my friend Saphyre I do "babble parties"!!!!

7:49 pm

Poor darth.

7:50 pm

What happened that everyone is so sad about?

Darth you are not being ignored Right now i am very upset that a very wonderful fellow babbler has died

7:50 pm

Sorry, didn't mean to diss you..How are you, Darth?

7:50 pm

I don't know. I just knew her as dilly. She wasn't sick and her death was not expected. Stid had a picture of either her grannymaxx in her profile few days ago

7:51 pm

....oh my gosh.........

7:51 pm

hi LADY! you had the same name didnt you?

Thanks Minvey

7:51 pm

If you ever hear of a band in SanDiego called PC Deathsquad, that's my nephew's band

i must go now and will see everyone tomorrow. i leave with a prayer for grannymaxx and her family.

7:52 pm

i'm going to san diego for xmas

7:52 pm

night, owl

7:52 pm

Bye TO

7:52 pm

Hey Ping! I'm sure you wouldn't want to lookup PC Death Squad. ;)

7:52 pm

I live there, and I have heard of them, They are one of the better home-bassed bands

7:52 pm

I was shocked to hear about dilly because I had seen her in the chat log just a few days prior to her death

7:53 pm

my nephews are teenage boys - would it be right for them?

7:53 pm

Do you really know of them, Darth? Cool!

7:53 pm

...I am without children, or brothers, or sisters, or preatty much everything ecepet cousins....

7:53 pm

Uh....they would probably like it, but it's probably not appropriate for them.

7:54 pm

I love my nephew, but his music is not family friendly! lol

7:54 pm

Well, Yeah some music I listen to I probably shouldn't, like marylin, hangface, MCR....yeah

whats wrong with non family friendly music

7:55 pm

But you are on Babble, Darth, so you obviously have sense.

7:55 pm

...nothing, it's just nothing that you would tell your mom....

um I didn't know Dilly. I knew Granny was sick but sigh

7:55 pm

Yeah.....Kinda

7:56 pm

So, I guess I came in to clue at a bad time

7:56 pm

Nothing, but if someone asks me if they should take a kid to my nephew's concerts, I have to be honest.

Weegee,I got 8 inches of snow in Dutchess County.I am sorry for delayed response.Did not see your post.

8:11 pm

add a friend or two to the mix, and she'll be happy to spend time with you

8:12 pm

when my girls were 12-ish, we spent hours of quality time, because I included their friends

8:12 pm

yw Krista, and good luck, with dtr I mean. 12-14 can be awful

8:12 pm

she's one extreme or the other..clingy, or aloof. you're right about the friend thing, good advice.

8:13 pm

anyone a clue for the no5?

8:13 pm

no 5/10 word is no 4/4 plus a stick letter LadyNatts.

8:13 pm

Min, 8 inches doesn't sound like much, although it would shut things down here for sure. Was there already lots on the ground?

8:13 pm

Thank you weegee..I'll need it. :) **poofing for real this time**

8:15 pm

There was nothing on the ground. They forecasted 6 to 10 inches.Had no work today because of the snow

8:15 pm

8:22 pm

(not)

8:22 pm

Lol, Herin - you were saying that a while ago when I popped in to try to restore my flickr pics.

8:22 pm

I live in a town that doesn't plow the snow off the roads. can get very bad.

8:22 pm

here people have shovelled but not salted so it's been very slippery out

8:23 pm

How can they not plow the roads? Is there no money?

8:23 pm

bonus, kth

8:23 pm

*Cups hand to ear. 'Is that the sound of the gym coming to Herin?'*

No i said that about 30 min ago. Lunch, protein shake, hang out washing. Watch Oprah then out

8:23 pm

where are you, doxy?

8:23 pm

have no idea why. but you can always tell when you get to this town. I'm in Utah

8:24 pm

Been to Utah... not in winter though... I seem to be forever stuck here in winter

8:24 pm

we always seem to get your leftover cold. Please keep it up there. I don't like the cold.

8:25 pm

help with re 7 and 8 please?

8:25 pm

LOL, doxy, if it were just cold, I could probably keep it, if I could... it's the fluctuations that cause the snow that are a pain

8:26 pm

Our highs have been in the 20's all week. too cold for me, can't move south yet.

8:26 pm

don't have it yet ping, sorry

8:26 pm

Ping - someone who tells stories... it rhymes with the more usual na8 word for that. re8 is the plural.

8:26 pm

I don't mind the cold (unless it drops to -20 or so) but I can't stand snow lol

8:26 pm

ping ... think of a storyteller (that reminds you of someone like a cousin, aunt, etc)

8:27 pm

thanks jacula and lady

8:27 pm

It's an anagram of the US term for an estate agent (somone who sells houses).

8:27 pm

welcome

8:27 pm

y/w, doxy.

8:27 pm

i'm the opposite, don't mind the snow but can't stand the cold

8:27 pm

I love the snow so long as I don't have to shovel it or drive in it... even driving is not that bad... if there is no-one else on the road

8:27 pm

thanks so much jac and lady!

8:28 pm

Speaking of cold(s) - I have come down with one today. I always DO just before Christmas.:(

8:28 pm

Do you all know WHY you bless someone when they sneeze/

HI Jax too

Jac i mean Hi Jac too

8:30 pm

I used to know, can't remember though

8:30 pm

apparently you lose the holy spirit out when you sneeze

8:30 pm

blessing give the holy spirit back

8:31 pm

Well, if you don't... it's because the first sign of The Plague (The Black Death) was sneezing.:(

8:31 pm

Hi Jacula! I like your moving camel. I can never seem to get my icons to move.Tried it before&didn't work.

8:31 pm

enron is not a word yet?

8:31 pm

oh my, jac

8:31 pm

Hi, Min. Some work, some don't. It depends what format they are.

8:32 pm

I saw that word in the puzzle today as well Ping.LOL!

8:32 pm

any requests for clues before I go put away laundry and shovel the driveway and change the cat litter?

8:32 pm

The old nursery rhyme 'Ring o ring o roses, a pocket full of posies, Atishoo! Atishoo! We all fall down...' was about the plague.

(Sprays the room with Glen 20 and hands Jac a surgical mask) :P

8:33 pm

Yes, I've heard that, Jacula

8:33 pm

I'm fine thanks, LadyNatts. Finished hours ago. Sounds like a strenuos time ahead for you!

8:33 pm

Jacula,I haven't seen you in babbleand for awhile now

8:33 pm

Congratulations Jacula on finishing early! Good for U!

8:33 pm

8:34 pm

bye min

8:35 pm

Min - I've been a bit busy with the Christmas newsletter. Now it's all written the printer's playing up! I've got 20 out and posted but still 17 to do. However, the paper's sticking (probably due to moisture absorbed from the air) so I'll give up on that for tonight.

8:35 pm

fireworks

8:35 pm

i think the sneeze blessing came from suspicions that the sneezer would be susceptible to evil spirits after the sneeze, so they blessed them.

8:35 pm

wtg ping!

8:35 pm

"ring around the rosies, pockets full of posies. Ashes ashes we all fall down!"

8:35 pm

hp printer by any chance?

8:35 pm

hi nutsteroo

8:36 pm

Hi, nut. I left you a 'poo' game link on Babblecast messages the other night. It was only the next day that I realised it might have been offensive to you, since it involved catching pig poo in a basket. Sorry!

8:36 pm

hiya pingtapoo

8:36 pm

Guess I'll head off too, and do all that stuff... hubby will be wanting aught to eat too, when he gets home in a couple of hours.

HP Photosmart 2575 here - 2nd in 6 months. The first one threw a wobbler because someone pulled paper out of the front rather than through it special back panel.

8:44 pm

Herin - What happened to Grannymax? Has she died? Please don't tell me she has because I opened 3 Christmas cards in succession today that told me of deaths of friends.:(

8:44 pm

8:45 pm

I'm taking charge of my keyboard again now, enough boring printer chat!

8:47 pm

mistress grannymaxx passed 12/7 and dilly passed last week as well. we lost 2 babblers in 1 week

8:47 pm

Herin - I opened the first card just after Mum and I got home from shopping. I rang Mum immediately to tell her of our friend's death. As we spoke about him I opened the next card... that was from an old neighbour from where we used to live... her hubby had died. 'I'm scared to open the next card!' I told my Mum. 'It'll be okay,' she said. 'Open it!' I did, and that told me that one of a dear old couple in their 80s I've known for some 15 years had died.

8:48 pm

Ren - granny and dilly? OMG!

8:48 pm

yes ma'am

8:49 pm

My Christmas news letter reports that I'm sad to have lost 3 people off my Christmas card list (and that didn't include the sadness about both your parents and Fran's sister)... then I find out 3 more of more friends have gone, then you tell me 2 Babblers have gone. Life stinks sometimes!

Well Granny didn't want Pity parties

9:01 pm

Actually, I was about to say that 3 of the 11 were in their 80s and 90s but then I realised I'd had news of another... one of the grandmas of a friend from my childhood.... so that makes 2 'gone' this year. The one I just remembered was 98!

9:01 pm

9:02 pm

Terry Pratchett has just announced that, at 59, he's been diagnosed with a rare form of early onset Alzheimer's Disease. So, that'd be the one my Dad had which is called 'Lewy Bodies Disease'. Terry doesn't want anyone to be less than cheerful either.

9:05 pm

**sprayyyyyyyyyyy - pfzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz***

9:07 pm

9:08 pm

Yes, herin. That IS bad news for him. He has reassured his fans that many more books are to come because all the notes are already done.

9:08 pm

sorry...does...does

9:08 pm

Is he a fat cowman, ren?

I don't care for his books but to slowly loose (or is it lose) your mind sucks

9:08 pm

he;s fat and he has udders

9:09 pm

he can;t be a cow...and be a man....

9:09 pm

hi all

9:10 pm

hey tim!!

9:10 pm

ren - erm... are you SURE they're udders? LOL

Hey tim

9:10 pm

hi ren:)

9:10 pm

Hi, tim.

9:10 pm

hi herin :)

9:10 pm

hi herin

9:10 pm

hi, tim. Never read Pratchett, Jac. And, yes, the humor can be dark now and again...

9:10 pm

mmm I could just use a tim hortons muffin right now

9:10 pm

hi pam

9:11 pm

i read pratchett

9:11 pm

why

9:11 pm

what type of books does he write, tim?

9:11 pm

Oh, Jac mentioned that he announced he has early onset Alzheimer's

9:12 pm

humerous fantasy books

9:12 pm

thanks

Tim how are you and the kids and puppys

Puppy i mean

9:12 pm

I've never actually read any Terry P books yet. The only reason being that I always have about 200 books in hand on my shelves to read. His huge world sagas need to be read in order, I believe, and so, though I do have a couple of books of his people have given me, I've not yet read them.

9:12 pm

other worldish

9:12 pm

ok this cowman with udders is named otis

9:13 pm

kinda what i would call fractured fairy tales

9:13 pm

we are all good my daughter got her drivers licence today

9:14 pm

Hi all!

9:14 pm

Hi, wolfie!

9:14 pm

anjd the puppy os getting big

Pounce Grey

Yah Tim

9:14 pm

Congrats to your daughter, tim!

9:14 pm

Jac -- don't let the quantity of Pratchett delay your beginning to read him -- they are all sort of intertwined more that contiguous

9:14 pm

hey wolf!!!!! mazle tov tim's daughter!!

9:14 pm

I'm still stuck with 6 to go, maybe I need clues...

9:15 pm

not a momment too soon we are driving to OK next friday so she can share in the driving

Its my parents 40th anniversary tomorrow. I forgot as its the same day as my arse hat exs birthday

9:15 pm

ren - is 'otis' a short way of saying outsize titis? LOL

9:15 pm

There are distinct blocks that are sequential in nature, but for the most part, the blocks are not interdependent upon the others

9:15 pm

Happy 40th anniversary to your parent, herin.

9:15 pm

so who is reading pratchett

9:16 pm

and Hi lady, ren, Jac, tim, and everyone else {*HUG*}

9:16 pm

(If I was still married, it would have been my 30th anniversary last March. LOL)

9:16 pm

hi greywolfe

9:16 pm

I have been a fan of Pratchett, practically from the beginning, tim

9:16 pm

:)

9:16 pm

Wolfie - The Carpet People looked interesting to me. How many in that set? Aren't they all a part of the discworld?

9:17 pm

i was a huge fan of pratchett till i started reading trrobert jordan books

9:17 pm

I haven't read the carpet people yet, but they are separate -- I think they are a trilogy of their own

I need to find something for them I was trying to get my dad to buy mum something

9:17 pm

i enjoyed the weird sisters books and interesting times

9:18 pm

i'm really tramatized...how can a male cow named otis have udders?

hi all, nice to see a grid with at least 100 woids for a change 8-)

9:18 pm

i am reading going postal right now

9:18 pm

tim -- I got stuck at book 5 of Jordan

9:18 pm

hi book

9:18 pm

Ren - Oh, it's not a man who looks after cows that you're talking about... ah!

9:18 pm

he's a rock singer now....have i stepped over the zone line?

still have the wrong icon, i see . . . grrrrr

9:19 pm

Maybe he's a hermaphrodite, ren?

9:19 pm

My personal favorite Discworld book is Reaper Man -- it is the second of the block of books revolving around Death

9:19 pm

well robert jordon died recently so don't look for closure after book 11

OH Tim by the way Robert Jordons last book will be finished by another writer

howda doon, timhorton??

9:19 pm

i did enjoy reaperman too:)

9:19 pm

A trilogy, Wolfie? Well, I might try that out then. Thanks for the info.

9:20 pm

Hi, Gwen.

9:20 pm

yes i did hear that herin

9:20 pm

hey book doc...have you ever seen this male cow w/ udders? doesn;t anyone watch nickw?

9:20 pm

here is a link to a very well done site that shows the Discworld books and how they relate: http://www.lspace.org/books/r eading-order-guides/

howya doon jacula?

9:20 pm

but i doubt it will be the same

renfield, i'm completely lost. What??

zI just found out

9:21 pm

Tim -- according to all reports, Jordan passed shortly after mailing the final manuscript to his publisher, so you should get your closure

Ok everyone i will see you after flip

9:21 pm

awesome grey:)

9:22 pm

Thanks for that link, Wolfie. I've bookmarked it for later perusal.

9:22 pm

'Bye Herin.

9:22 pm

if that is true i will be sooooo happy

9:22 pm

My biggest problem with the Wheel of Time universe is that his characters are too bloody thick in the head at times --- they seem to not be able to might simple jumps in logic that would save them a lot of wasted time

9:22 pm

later herin

9:23 pm

Wolfie - but isn't that true of many people in real life?

9:23 pm

You are welcome, Jac

9:23 pm

Jac -- yes, it is true in real life, but then you aren'

9:23 pm

oops

9:24 pm

you are right grey

9:24 pm

then you aren't forced t read through hundreds of pages of watching them be blind to the obvious

9:24 pm

but character are more believeable if very flawed

no serong -- okay, how do you spell that? LOL

9:25 pm

apparently I'm missing at6/7 can anyone clue that please?

9:25 pm

But, Wolfie, you are, in a way, in real life when you watch friends making the same mistakes over and over again, etc.

9:25 pm

I don't know about very very flawed, tim -- flawed, yes, but very flawed can be very tiresome at times

9:25 pm

sarong (bech wear)?, gwen?

at6 is a lawyer but lose the last letter

9:25 pm

i didn't have empathy with some of the main character in the wheel of time but i was still enthralled

9:25 pm

But Jac -- when you watch friends make the same mistakes, you get to yell at them

sarong, not serong? phooey.

9:26 pm

at6 and 7 is the one and ones who make up for bad deeds.

9:26 pm

ahh thanks 4 to go now

9:26 pm

The world of the the Wheel of time is a very interesting one, tim -- and I found his treatment of magic to be different enough to be quite fascinating

9:26 pm

You can yell at the book, Wolfie. *Looks around, suddenly embarrassed, 'Or is that just me that does that?'*

9:27 pm

it was kind of like the ppl in your dreams would act

9:27 pm

be back in a min -- time to tuck in Kristianna

9:27 pm

bbl gw

weee found the 9!

9:28 pm

Ah.. those who sign up for stuff, Gwen.

9:28 pm

i like it when a book makes you wanna yell at the charactersa

9:28 pm

ohhhh barbie has a new dream house.....even has a washer and dryer

jacula, hunh??

9:28 pm

Or maybe those who sign people up for stuff??

9:29 pm

Ren - what the heck are you watching on TV??

9:29 pm

Don't tell me... the adverts. *sigh*

9:29 pm

nickw

9:29 pm

i recently started to read books by another author and a few from the series were pretty good but the last book was stupid

9:30 pm

9:30 pm

l.e. modesitt

9:30 pm

jr.

9:31 pm

lawyer words, harp.

9:31 pm

9:31 pm

at + ripped then plural (or really verb form).

9:31 pm

y/w, Harp.

i thinkg snottal should be a word. descriptive of one's siblings, most of the time, yes?? LOL

9:32 pm

oh yey, fireworks here at last!!

wtg kth~~~!!!

9:33 pm

Yes, Gwen. I don't have any siblings but that does decribe my first best friend before she had her adenoids cauterised. Henry VIII (if he really did write the song) must've written 'Greensleeves' just for her. She always wiped the nose candles off on her cardigan sleeves.

9:34 pm

lol jac, may i quote you on the origins of Greensleeves?

9:34 pm

Oh dear! I hear the sound of community puking. Sorry folks! ROFLOL.

9:34 pm

You may, harp.

9:34 pm

it's already off to my sister, the Queen of Christmas Music.....

9:35 pm

it's going to be a hit in the pre-teen choirs...

9:36 pm

ew...greensleeves. ew ew ew ew ew

9:36 pm

Ren - use tinyurl for the addresses; makes it much easier to click on a link.

9:37 pm

harp - if you make a musical out of it, send me the DVD and don't forget to credit me for the original idea.

of course snot doesn't turn cloth green. snot is generally clear, unless you have an infection or whatever

9:37 pm

speaking of Henry VII, I assume that everyone knows Ann Boleyn had six fingers on each hand?

(pick pick pick!) LOL

9:38 pm

sure thing jac,

9:38 pm

Gwen - my friend's snt was yellow and green, believe me!

9:38 pm

SNOTTAL-THE MUSICAL!

9:42 pm

9:42 pm

i joined a book club on facebook but i found it to be a big disappointent all you do is write a critque about the book and ppl who like the same kind of books write on your wall i thought is would be more like a discussion group

9:42 pm

*Throws a beetle or two and some freshly swatted plump flies to Renfield.*

9:43 pm

*launchs his boat twards rens ship*

9:43 pm

Goodness me... I cannot believe I didn't try that!!! THANK YOU!!!!

I think the culture there is amazing, they had controled the whole world at least once, and they are mega coolio, i am moving there when I get older...

9:48 pm

I'm not a gent, Gwen! I'm a lady.

12 words left here, time to eat. bbl and bye now

9:48 pm

(jacula my pirate lord is from a diffrent time, think of cornwallis when you think of me, execpet I don't lose, and I sail

9:49 pm

Okay, darth.

9:49 pm

I hope that is all cleared up now jacula...^_^

9:49 pm

jac it seems the same idea as the facebook one

9:51 pm

I haven't really gone into Facebook too much, tim, as I don;t like all the intrusions it want you to 'allow'. You can have discussions on goodreads though,. Failing that, MrP did set up a booksite for Babblers, I think.

9:52 pm

I read...But I don't think we all read the same kind of books....

9:53 pm

Well, darth - that's the whole point. We don't all read the same kind of books but we get the chance to introduce others to books we've enjoyed. I've certainly bought quite a few books I might otherwise not have known about through Babblers' recommendations.

9:53 pm

At least I don't....(is scared he is offeneding people....-due to very long silences)

9:54 pm

ooooooooooooooohhhhh Thanks Jac...

9:55 pm

I have a babble t-shirt.......it is black ^_^

9:55 pm

Danf got it for me....

9:56 pm

I don't have a babble t-shirt because the shipping cost to UK is more then the price of it.

9:56 pm

*prepares for next sneak attack against ren*

9:56 pm

//creepy think fog sets in//

9:56 pm

9:56 pm

9:56 pm

oh... you go to the lickety's list link at the bottom of the page :)

10:46 pm

sorry, lickety's babble clues

10:46 pm

aha

10:50 pm

it's a helpful place ;)

10:51 pm

how does one decipher it?

10:52 pm

Sorry......Rating books is really hard....

10:52 pm

how do you mean? it's an alphabetical list of all the words in today's grid.

10:52 pm

you can select/copy the list of words you have here, and paste it into the "bulk add" box at the bottom of lickety's page

10:53 pm

and then go looking for the word you're missing--it'll tell you the first 2 letters, and you'll have an idea of where to go from there, because you know where it is alphabetically in relation to the other words

10:53 pm

thank god for lickety or i would never complete a grid

10:57 pm

yeah, me too

10:59 pm

Same here.....

11:02 pm
