Head desk

er7 woo hoo
en6 and el6

lol melon
how true melon
no, that would be hairy nose dolphins!
jilli - is that a panettone?
Think i am drunk enough now not to care. And i dont drink
melon, do you mean my icon?
now if tamale can be a word, why not crudite?
yes, BB! exactly!
yup
dr 7 been called yet?
BB, or even a rudite, someone who is always rude LOL
bbnaz - maybe cuz it takes an accent; crudité
all yours, robe
whee!
melon I don't know what a panettone is -- did you click on it? It's an interfaith icon
ohh yuck something fe5
going to google panettone...
lol I've been trying to make the crudite work....couldn't figure out why it wouldn't
On the bright side less crap to move
gotta see the positive side, herin!
dr7
I'm talking about the icon on the chat log - panettone is an Italian brioche type bread with candied fruits in it.
melon, you mean fruitcake. LOL
and it's absolutely yummy melon
oh, I see, melon -- you're looking at the old icon for a Melton Mowbray pork pie, I guess!
(panettone is deadly...) *gains five pounds dreaming of lovely holiday breads*
you are right stid!
has anybody found more then 1 B word?
lol stid, me too
(dwee should be a word. sounds good in my head anyway . . .)

see you soon, lynxxx. *poof*
gn bana
happily stid
ooh! I am halfway!
*joining flosey in the sin bin*
wtg stid
okay, going to check mail, and back in a bit if I am still awake enough.
let's just have a party then witchy
hi all - today is a great day!
I'll bring mince pies
Hi T&C - what your news?
oooh love it witchy
I had a needle biopsy of a breast lump yesterday and it came back benign today - whew!
thanks jes -- just read my mail. {{{hugs}}}
great news tea!
great news T&C
hi TEa! oh so glad for you! It's tough to wait for those test results, isn't it?
cutting out for now -- prolly be back tomorrow afternoon. see ya bye bye *poof*
Fantastic T&C -
very relieving
TNC - so glad to hear! I'm high risk - two surgical bx so far and on tamoxifen.
it has been stressful!
chibi's not a word?
when I was a child, my mother called them "mincemeat" pies (she made them of minced fruit) and I refused to eat them from a childhood memory that perhaps they were "minced-mouse" pies.
later gwen!
I have been considering genetic testing as my mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer twice and three of my father's four sisters have had/have/died from it. It's scary!
heh. no rodent desserts for you, stid?
no jes, thanks all the same... (another reason to not be owned by cats)
so why not have them removed?
I'm still breastfeeding, for one.
as if they'd share with me :P
a good mince pie has copious amounts of alchol added to the fruit as well!!
genetic testing can be helpful... but of course most breast cancer occurs in people with no real family history.
this is true, stid
oh absolutely witchy - brandy or rum
TNC - i had genetic counseling at University Hospitals here in Cleveland. sis was BRCA-2 +, mom negative. Didn't have the test bc insurance didn't cover & it wouldn't hange how they are managing me. UH Breast Center is the best.. Cleveland Clinic gets more attention, but UH is excellent, too.
I have a family history -- but it's on my father's side. His sister died at 24. I had a benign (but painful) lump removed several years ago "just in case" and regular mammograms since.
rum for me please... *soused grin* ARRR'
I once took a mince pie to a church function - was later informed by the minister's wife that 'they didn't use alcohol in cooking'
I'll take some rum right about now! :)
that's too bad -- did the pie get eaten anyway?
*passes hip flask to tea*
of course - I don't think anyone really suspected
sweet - thanks!
my great-great granddaddy kept a "medicinal" flask in his coat pocket. Though, being Irish, it was whiskey. *grin* my mother remembers he would take his medicine at the same time the ice cream truck went by!
and it never occurred to me that it might offend !!
quitting @ 58, I have a virus - body aches 7 feel as if I was hit by a truck.. Kid is at his dad's so i get to sleep in tom'w. 'nite {poof}
well -- the alcohol bit cooks out though -- unless you pour the rum over after it's cooked?
anybody find more tehn one ca word?
hope you feel better soon, melon
sleep well melon, feel better tomorrow
oh melon! *rushes over with chicken soup, tea, tissues and ...*
of course it does stid but was a very strict religion
sweet dreams melon!

And that's pretty cool where I come from.
thanks, lickety
rofl... that's quite the praise, moon!
ad 6/30?
moon I feel all washed away with praise ;-)
Seriously. Anything with running water is the bees knees.
got the second ma 6.... now for the 7...
Do you live in the desert moonwoof?
MLF: a + d5
Well you should. Honest. I Depend on you lickety. If we weren't both married I'd offer to try to have a kid. ;D
stid - if you figure out the 7 gimme some help, okay...
sure will Joe, but don't hold your breath...
ty i should have seen that
moonwoof - do you use Babble Expert?
Oh, nope. I do rennissance fairs for a living. And we don't get much in the way of running water when I'm "at work".
90 down and i'm exhausted...
moon -- to show us your flag etc, please go to your My Account and check the Show Profile in the upper right corner :)
oh, my laptop battery is getting low...
Uhm, nope to that, either, Lickety. What's babble expert?
i cant beleive theirs no ending to that word to make it longermust be dif spelling
well, moon's in the US, so flag doesn't really narrow it down, any more than Canada does. :)
Oh - well better not - If you want to bear my child now - you better not get this.
ty jilli. I'm still pretty new here. I guess it shows, huh?
Babble Expert is a wonderful invention Lickety has given us
ty jilli. I'm still pretty new here. I guess it shows, huh?
moon, we were all new once
Actually, Lickety, I'm sterile. I said I'd try, tho lol
until it doesn't work -- Lickety, windows did some sort of update... then it broke babble expert and it took two days for Tom and me to track down that the security level on Internet Explorer had been reset to "High"
good night everybody
g'night, mlf
rofl... oh moon! *gasp, choke, cough*
nite mlf
sweet dreams MLF
night mlf
bye MLF
okay, me for the list briefly then to sleep.
Moon - shoot me off an email - if you run windows that is. Stidmama - nasty - I haven't heard that happening before - Must be really High security
night mlf
how many ne words anyone?
Can I get your email from the clues page? I found that under "friends of"...
i'm leaving up yesterday's lickety clues so i can finish the old puzzle.
yes, moon, it's there.
moon - yes - check the right hand side.
it was, lickety, and I was really ticked off. I only did half the last grid because of it.
good idea joe!
Nice joe. Good luck. =)
four ne words
Joesdinner - I suppose you can do that in the clues page itself - Never thought of that
Nice joe. Good luck. =) Ty lickety, I will.
yep. tyty
oh, I CANNOT believe I needed the list to get the ra 5! *hides head in sand*
keeps me busy if i finish the little boards.
BTW - I'm leaving the video fireworks the same for this grid - The big grid, the video - I think it's a good idea
thanks lickety -- since I missed yesterday's (grumble)
ty stid, btw.
There's your email (I think) lickety.
good idea, Lickety -- hated yesterday's grid -- too big and too peculiar -- no way to finish
and the fishy AN 5 I was missing too... LOL
wow. monkeyed the ch6
sheesh, i got no ra
you almost done stid?
34 to go joe... but only a few minutes remaining on battery
Ok, check email moonwoof and AngelD
go stid go....
phantom -- enamel
ra 5 what?
gogogo stid
pointwise, i mean....
ra 5/12
ra5/12
ty both.
ty It just downloaded. I will happily help with a beta like that.
ALl I can say is ask people about Lickety Add - the box that goes to all clues, babble and chat log if over one word.
ah! there's the la 8!
hawi'ian goose alert
is the ra a word i should know? i mean i know some babblets now. like the ne4 one and some other ones.
you'd think i'd've seen that a while ago
I'I'll do what I can, but I'll add that I'm very good at screwing stuff up lol
ty dc :)
woohoo stid with the la.
yes joe, I think it's one you know -- a latin plural for a common(ish) word
Joe - its a latin plural - uses an unlikely dble vowel
moonwoof - go forth and break it - that's your job ;-)
sheesh, yeah, it's a word i should know.
This is funny. This is pretty much what my screen looked like before =P
thanks lynxx and stid.
And I'll do what I can.
-- see the volcano is back as well as the hawaiian goose
yes, and that is why it's so brilliant, moon -- there is a bar on the left with dots on it. drag it toward the right...
well at least all the RE words are done...
moon -- look up top -- Lickety add is a boon -- so are Resources...
ahh, that's my babblet. the goose.
didn't know what it meant, sad to say.
how is mrp doing these days lickety -- are you both okay?
how many re words stid?
i have 8, but i assume there are more.
stid - she's been asleep for the last 5 hours - and it's only 6:15pm
joe -- you can get Lickety's list if you want
exhausted she is
wow. poor mrp. so you are probably really tired, too. {{{lickety}}}
yeah jili, normally i do that, but i'm saving yesterday's list cause i wanna finish it.
re*11
oh, poor mrp! give her a gentle kiss
Hmm. It's gonna take a bit, I think. Have to figure out how to get the words I already put in to go, wherever...
there are 11 RE words
Stid - we still have no where to move to either. Jan 21 is the day the new owners can move in
ty stid. : )
oh, right, joe -- I forgot
that's what the "send words to clues" button at the top is for moon!
Moon - what do you mean?
move to clues?
sorry, i
golly lickety -- that's harsh
One button press at top if that's what you mean.
moon -- look up top again -- Send Words to Clues
will shut up asking ppl about stuff cause it's my choice to keep old grid up.
move the words I entered before I started Expert into their spots In expert.
That box is greyed out...
don't worry about it joe --
Refresh, moon?
And Moon - you only need to do the move this once. If you use the Lickety Add feature - it does it for you.
oh oh, about to go blank from battery dying...
down to 9. will finish tomorrow. {{{everyone}}} *poof*
Yeah moon Refresh Babble button - if stays grey until the babble site loads completely
oh stid. prebye.
oh dear, stid!
Refreshing didnt work. See? I broke it already. Mahn.
sometimes it takes a few minutes for the boxes at the top to 'become available' moon
LOL moon!
f5 key didn't do it moon?
Well, then I'll wait, ty lynx.
bye Stid!
it should, takes a moment to load fully.
moon - that's pretty good! You get a medal if they never un-grey
I'm not really known for my patience... I'll go "put my flag up" in the mean time. brb
hm. i hungry again. i wonder what to do of that.
dc, nice icon. I think you and I are the only ones doing the theme -- too bad
dc - maybe chew something?
Woohoo! Never gotten gold stars for breaking stuff.
i have a variety of snacks with me, but i don't want any of them.
well moon - now I want to know why and how. Kick on Lickety Chat
i like the one you chose, too, jilli. it reminds me of a necklace i have.
Bore da, Aloha, Guten Tag and Hi Y'all!
Hi marmar
ni hao, maramar :)
That must be a super necklace, dc -- where did you get it?
hao bu hao
Jilli, that IS a beatiful icon! Ni hao....which language DC?
www.uniuniques.com
mandarin, marmar
thanks, marmar -- so is hao bu hao (good no good)
go to pendants, then choose next-to-rightmost on top row, from the Rockford UU church. It's the Rheinberg window.
what is the other 8 besides the la?
,prmomg a++
what, sprite?
morning all, I me4, fingers were on the wrong buttons
hi sprite
goodmorning Sprite!
Dziękują (Polish "thank you"!)
hiya sprite...
Nan, it's an el8, hi all :)
how many el words?
ty cat
sorry, some way to start a grid, right? :) jilli, I love you icon!
i only have 3. waaaaaaah.
Hi Sprite
you're welcome, nan
Hey Sprite!
I only have 3 so far too, Joesdinner
lickety! Am babbling without your expert and geezzzzz do I miss the Add word or message box!
only 2 left, but one is the el 8 and the other is an m 7 and I'm crashing.
sprite - what happened?
Hi Lickety -- were you unable to get that video for the children's hospital to work?
thanks, sprite
sprite, check the security level in IE, set it back to medium.
laptop died on me, lickety, completely. Couldn´t even start it up again to back some recent stuff. Will have to do the whole installing thing from the bottom up again, somewhere today or tomorrow.
dc: why is that?
there was a windows patch that reset it to High.
ok sprite - I'll send you an email ok - with the latest download
perfect, lickety! I will receive it once I got outlook express back to work, and then it is back to babble for me with your lovely expert
dc, found that pendant -- beautiful. I think I'll order one
dc, but that would not make my laptop die, now would it?
yes, i got one when i was at the Rockford church, it is quite lovely, and it sparks conversations with strangers. :)
no, sprite, it wouldn't :(
which pendant, jilli and dc?
www.uniuniques.com, select pendants, the next-to-rightmost one on top row.
sprite -- interfaith, similar to my icon
more than 2 ur words?
good night, all *poof*
gn nan.
bye, nan!
JUst 2, Joe
oh WOW!
ty cat9.
you're welcome :)
I never wear jewelry, but this is one I would wear.
night nan
http://tinyurl.com/3cyx4p this should be the link to the pendant, btw
gonna bookmark it, will get back to that page when or if I have some money to spend freely again!
sprite - I love the idea of it - I think I just found my religion
lol, same here, lickety... the only kind of religion I would ever join... the one that does not exclude anyone or discriminates on how you make Love important above all else.
ah, that URL did not appear for me when i browsed to it. ty
no, you have to rightclick the page and then click Properties, dc, for the real URL to appear.
clever you. :) i didn't think to do that.
*grin* I have my moments, though only moments!
sprite - yeah - I dont' follow anything in particular but I do have a faith of sorts.
I think you and I would be of one mind there, lickety. I am deeply religious, but I follow no church at all.
bye everyone - out for dinner - have fun
enjoy, lynxxx! *hug*
lol, I said I´d bookmark it. On my hubby´s puter? So I just made a txt file with all the relevant info and put it in a temporary folder... will have to send myself the stuff before logging off here, so I can get it on my computer once I get it back talking!
I just ordered the pendant
oh wow, jilli, how wonderful. Am almost jealous, lol. It will be special, if I get mine later this year, and we are wearing it... you and dc and me, connected through this over the whole wide world!
:)
As an acquaintance remarked a while ago, I'm taking a sabbatical from organised religion.
Hi lickety.
UU is only vaguely organised.
Hi Moon! Good to see you getting the hang of Lickety Add!
hi woof! Woooooof, I think you and I have been exchanging emails recently, didn´t we?
Hiya sprite, long time, no see.
that's fine, dc
I like organisation to be vague as it comes to religion, dc
yup. but I figured you were busy with the holidays.
Good morning all. Very heavy frost here this morning. Lovely and sunny but freezing cold.
it was even worse, woof, my computer died on me. I am using my hubby´s right now. Could you please please resend me your emails? I lost everything, will have to reinstall from the bottom up. Am so sorry.
hello frances
hi Frances!
I keep yawning -- may have to go to bed without my goal
Of course huny. And I'm sorry to hear. Losing those always sucks unless you're anal about backing stuff up.
yeah it does, moon. Nothing recoverable, sprite?
Sprite you are having computer problems? Happened to me last year - not funny!
I am pretty good with backups, and my hd is partitioned. But I did not get a chance to backup my most recent emails and notes and all. Then the repairman saw the nice partitioning and thought, no problem, I can reinstall windows. So the stuff that was temporarily on the C drive, in My documents and in email, got lost.
3rd time this year, Frances :(
sprite - you'd be amazed what is achievable - I once recovered data off a harddrive after the circuitry on it burnt out
beautiful color palate and pattern in the quilt, frances
sprite - time to get a new repairman!
haaaa! DC, I JUST got an e-mail from a friend who recently moved to Singapore and I got to use the Mandarine greeting you just shared with us all! Thanks again, perfect timing! I gotta go walk the pup. See you all later!
Thank you dc
Ack. That sucks huny... and lickety's right. Get a new guy.
ciao, marmar :)
lickety: but not after a clean reinstall of windows, I bet?
cya mar
wonderful, Marmar, see you soon
marmar -- you didn't see my other mandarin greeting?
nah, I cannot blame the repair guy. He did what he could, he only did not realise that I wanted to have a go at the laptop once he regained access, and before trying to repair further.
yes but wasn't sure of the meaning Jilli...good no good!!!
discursive /dis-KUR-siv/, adjective: 1. Passing from one topic to another; ranging over a wide field; digressive; rambling. 2. Utilizing, marked by, or based on analytical reasoning -- contrasted with intuitive
worst thing is, it was not the windows that gave the problems after all, it was the memory... hardware issue!
it's a hi/how are you, marmar. it means 'how are you', and is a common greeting also.
dc, like our chats?
ah-so!
yes, that's why i posted it :)
Is that what I am. Good to know.
hehehe, it is a compliment, woof.
ni hao, hao bu hao, ni hao bu hao, ni hao ma are all variants on the same theme.
Is for me. =) means I'm diVerse =P
sort of howya doin, marmar -- good or not good.
I´d say you are multiVerse, woof, not just Di ;)
....I love collecting phrases. Thanks you guys!
I used to hear hao bu hao all the time in Shanghai as a kid
Well I try lol
Also, when bombs were falling in 1937, frightened people scurrying along saying "bu hao, bu hao!"
i can imagine, jilli!
Ok, sprite. If you check I believe that's all 4 of the emails that mattered. There was One where I didnt zip the pix so I didnt send that one...
anybody have a word for the I top left?
wonderful, woof! I will reinstall everything and get my email back to work, and then it will arrive in my mailbox. I will put the email directory on another partition from now on.
the part of the eye word, jilli, with different last letter.
yup. like part of your eye jili but spelt wrong
nice lol
snap, woof :D
yes jilli. i throw out.
ty sprite -- should have got that but I'm tired
ir4 jilli plant (diff last cons)
jilli, it is a stinker. Always was and always will be. Even when not tired, lol.
This is gonna take some getting used to, but ty again, Lickety
wow! everyone had it but me!
How about that R in the left column?
ra5/12 jilli
plural of the r of a cicrle, jilli.
ty dc -- boy, am I being thick
Ends in a double vowel jilli
what dc said, lol. Unusual plural, but you know it well
expert takes a bit of getting used to, but it's sure nice once ur accustomed.
expert RULES! And it is easy to get used to.
I just didn't see that second vowel
Expert is brilliant dc.
well, I Real special that way. Just ask him...
we all have days like that jilli. we miss a letter, or a plural, or an ending :)
It Is kicking butt now that I'm being less of a moron.
or a whole word, lol
i agree sprite, and frances :)
The queen becomes the longest reigning British monarch today. Beating Victoria.
*gently knocks woof and jilli´s heads together for putting themselves down like that*
wtg queen! May she rule long and happy and may she keep on appearing in our grids!
I'm being Honest sprite. =P Trust me. *I* kick butt. But I'll say it if I'm sucking.
Well, no blank tiles, so I'm going to bed. No more staying up till 4 am!
Morning all!
sprite, you might find some irony here: http://publicaffairs.uth.tmc.edu /hleader/index.html
that's right. Hooray for HRH Elizabeth II!
Maybe we should send her an e-card.
Wonder if Hallmark has one for that.
morning, flask :)
she is oldest monarch longest isn't til 2015 jil
lol, it is an idea, woof. A babble card.
morning flask
hello, peoples
hiya again BR
Frances she has become the OLDEST reigning today....she still has EIGHT years to go before she is the longes......sorry 'bout that....its just been on the news...
OOps that is what I meant witchy. Sorry for the confusion.
Hi DC..Moon...and Babrab!
Will she send herself a congratulations card?
Ok, lickety, here's a suggestion. Can you make it so that you can change the default browser?
I didn't say anythig about the queen, witchy. All I know is that there was a movie about Victoria called "Sixty Glorious Years" which I saw at the Grand Theatre in Shanghai in 1937, a hundred years after she ascended to the throne.
hi BabbleRabble, good to see you. And thanks for the link, that is indeed interesting, given my mood in this time of year! Glad I am not the only one.
I wonder if she sent herself a congrats message for her 60th wedding anniversary!!
Where in Hants, witchy? I have a cousin on Hayling Island
sorry jil early start for me and I mis read who had typed that. and sorry to frances too *slaps face to stay awake*
not far from hayling jil, I'm in Fareham the other side of Portsmouth
well, witchy, compared to here nothing in the UK is very far from anywhere else in the UK, lol!
true lol
anyway, as I said, I'm off to bed (rhyme)
but only 20 or so miles away
night night
nite jilli
g'night, jilli, sleep well :)
LOL, ´Hell is other people at breakfast´ A quote from Sartre... some people are actually WORSE than me!
night jilli, sleep well and sweet dreams to you!
Wow! Face slaps; fish slaps? Haul out the sackcloth and ashes, self-flagellation appears embedded as the normative in babbleland
I Knew something compelling was drawing me in!
lollll woof!
in a way it is frightening, how normal we think all this self-downputting is. I never even really noticed until I was forced to change the way I treat myself.
Here people know words like "normative" lol
negative chatter is so distructive
I used to put myself down, too. But just like I'm a "recovered catholic" I'd like to think I'm also a "recovered Idiot"
lovely: So, during these merry days, as extroverts chat away, hands and mouths dancing in a choreographed ballet, try to remember the lament of the introverted Rauch, “We can only dream that someday, when our condition is more widely understood, when perhaps an Introverts Rights movement has blossomed and borne fruit, it will not be impolite to say, ‘I’m an introvert. You are a wonderful person and I like you. But now please, shush.â€
Who has time to do that to themselves All the time and really mean it, if they're at all logical? Like life is a dress rehersal or something.
oh no. Not another movement... I'm cringing.
so true, BabbleRabble! And I never even realised. Am only starting to learn that. I love you for making me aware of the moments I beat myself up again without realising.
sprite, i travel in crowds where that is polite to say, but that subculture is very much not like the mainstream.
I wonder what That movement would take too far. gawk
I would be a bit more direct, like: "save your smile for someone who cares!"
LOLLLLLLL that is nice too!
That doesn't mean it shouldn't be, Dc. More people need logic. And Not the stupid college class, either. I mean "Common sense 101".
a very valid response, babrab.
true moon.
of course in that same crowd, reading a book when among a group is a respected sign for 'leave me alone and i will chime in when i care to'.
I thought that sign was universal. I usually only have to glare once, and most people get it =P
depends on the group, moon. On public transit, true except when taking a seat, for sure.
Then again, I've had vegetarians agree with me when I said that "I try not to eat the food that food eats." So for what it's worth.
I didn´t mind going to birthday parties of grownups when I was a kid. I read a book, never said a word and the whole company thought I was the most wonderful child ever for not disturbing them. Now, I stay away from birthdays. People no longer think I am wonderful for reading and being silent, alas.
i mean, it ought be such a sign, but alas, is not always.
That woulda been nice. My mom berated me for "hibernating" in my books.
almost the only times I got valued was when I made myself unnoticeble. They loved it when people said that they had not realised I was there until I left.
my mom's an introvert who reads voraciously, so not an issue in my upbringing, happily.
dc, I only wish.
Actually, sprite, I found it useful to have a good example of what not to be like, in my mom.
i split the difference I-E, myself. Thus i entitled my journal "Occasional comments from a gregarious introvert. "
lol, so did I, woof! And in my dad. They were wonderful antirolemodels. I have to thank them for that.
I think it's fair to say "don't be a *itch" is a bumper sticker I'd put up there with the whirled peas one.
much of life is choices and compromises. If I decide to go somewhere, then I understand I have elected to be civil if not social
Whirled peas makes me happy, on multiple levels :D
I like that, dc
civil is all one hopes for in interacting with people, at least in my world. :)
Sadly, BR, I hate to inform you that you seem to be infected with a serious illness. Logic is strictly Not tolerated by idiots.
so very true, BabbleRabble! I am only just learning I am free to make that decision.
well, good for you, sprite. It's a very handy thing to learn.
lol woof! And even more so because BabbleRabble´s logic is based on a deep understanding of life and people. I believe that is considered criminal in most circles.
Very many. Right up there with the Plague.
How DARE you be sick! idiots.
I remember your profile text from when you joined babble, BabbleRabble. You said that though you were not here to make friends, you weren´t here to make problems either. That really touched me and I never forgot, I knew that was a way of looking at things I wanted to learn myself.
ohhhhh I now understand whirled peas! I had to read it out loud to get the joke.
Whoa. I thought that one was international...
Sorry. US joke lol
LOL sprite
well, whirled is international by definition...
yeah, but I am not, woof, international I mean. Sometimes I just don´t get obvious jokes.
words are so fun
nice dc
'pray for whirled peas" make more sense?
and yes, they are BR {{grin}}
nah, I got it, dc, only a little slow in the uptake, grin. Thanks anyway!
Well, soon we can hope you will be sprite. International is also fun.
they are, BabbleRabble >:->
*grins at woof* Wouldn´t that be great! Am planning on starting the translation job after NewYear, from the 2nd of January on! A serious good intention for the year to come, and not just intention, it will be followed by action!
go, sprite! :D
good for you. And yes. It would be very cool. I dont know what pparties are like over there, but there's not a whole lot more wierd than a sci-fi convention.
mahn. talking about childhoods has brought back the stutter lol
i go to cons. there's weird an not weird. One i go to is more like a family reunion with programming.
I read about those, woof, and though I am not the party type, I would love to attend one of those one day. There is something liberating about people dressing and acting like they are in a fantasy realm.
awwwww poor w wo woof.
That's sorta why I said sci-fi. How often can you walk down a plain old hotel corridor and be passed by a dwarf and then stormtroopers and then Klingons, etc...
4 to go and I'm off to bed, goodnight all
Nite flosey. Sleep sweet
come to worldcon, sprite! it's in Montreal in 2009.
sleep well, flosey
g'night flosey
you mean that is not normal where you live, woof? :)
i know the people running it that year, there will be people from all over the world.
will keep it in mind, dc, LOL
And actually sprite... book convetions are different than Any other party you've ever been to. I think you'd like em.
I love seeing AeroSith perform at I-Con. They do Star-Wars filk aerosmith. LOL
I hope so, woof! At least I won´t let fear of them stop me, from now on.
And kinda Sprite, I suppose. But fair is different in it's own way. Fewer klingons, more dwarves.
And Lots less running water
fair and sci-fi overlap, but faire has a totally other feel.
we have small gothic-and-fantasy conventions here, I have been to a few. I liked them, for the most part.
The music circles, alone, Sprite are worth going for, if you don't get sucked into the dealers room or the book parties...
let´s make a deal... if I ever get to visit such things, or even participate, I will let you all know and you will come and support me :) I would actually be looking forward to going then!<
:) likely doable, sprite
yay :D
I will certainly try, sprite. Sadly, however, I havent been able to go for over a decade, now... I work weekends, which is when most cons, happen =,(
But for that I would certainly try. It's not like I'd need an excuse... The hubbys been trying to get me free so he can go buy comics...
don´t worry, I don´t ask for promises, lol. We will see what is possible and pleasant when the moments come.
ok. then it's a deal.
I miss them alot, actually. {{sigh}} ah the good ol days
i'd love to chat, but should process emails. back in a bit. :)
cya seain
bfn dc!
I hate it when etui and adieu are phantoms. First I am proud I finally spot them without prompting, and then they are not valid!
lol I have that problem sometimes with iodate. It's painful
I always see it when it's not there. But I have that prblem with snakes, too. As far as I can tell, they All have rattles.
it is :)
they all should have rattles, lol
well, thats kinda true. Sneaky little buggers.
could someone please tell me which letter the biggies start with?
um, maybe?
ma 7.36
la 8.40
ha 7.36
dr 7.44
el8.45 er7.36 ha7.36 la8.40 ma7.36 seems like most.
sorry,BR's doin it. I just looked up =P
wonderful, thanks to you both.
no sorries
nice. BR. Ok, maybe I'm a "mostly recovered catholic" lol
lol
hi all
"Would you please stop making apologies the whole time?" " Am I doing that? I am SO sorry!"

lol, yeah, definitely cool atm... it is freezing.

glad you enjoyed yourself! And welcome home.
and my hubby met up with me and found me surrounded by 4 really lovely gentlemen
Just so everyone knows. "lol" is not found in the dictionary.
I've neve rbeen to the netherlands

in the dutch one it is, woof, and it means ´fun´ in dutch!
ty
aww people are so nice in real live and cyber life
ya woof woof fun fun fun
haha is, and it means a low fence or ditch.
now this is a stick up.. GIMME all your chocolate !!! LOL
come and get it :P
That pretty much kicks butt. haha has a whole new meaning.
ssheesh it may take me seveal hours to get a flight out of JFK airport in NY
it is a babblet and we refer to it as the laughing fence, lol.
Are you Sure you wanna try that fran? *We* are sober... and all 3 of us are pretty tough...
just drink some more and fly there on your own wings, frant
cute the laughing fence
like picket teeth smiling and laughing
LOL i could! i'm smashed!
welll sober.. thats why i asked if its ok if i'm drunk!
i'm pretty new here
hey, I am sober. It is 10.15 am here, and I am a very serious person.
And as a sober person, I would have said if I had a problem, huny.
A blonde moment.. I'm too tired to lift another glass yet alone use my arms to fly !
you seem to have a happy drink over you, frant, and as long as you don´t touch my chocolate uninvited, we are ok ;)
it crept up on me
so whats todays board like? lessee ..
eyes the chocolates
ok new board to me.. 20 hours to go
board is fun and not too tough. Chocolate is MINE.
offers to trade american NY pizza for chocoate
lemmethink... pizza for breakfast... nah, I pass. I like chocolate better.
Do you guys eat chocolate sandwiches for breakfast their?
there even
I would Here, if I had one.
I think chocolate can be eaten at and between all meals.
Mmmmm. Smorwich
LOL
mmmm
speaking of which... brb, have to get breakfast. Will bring it to the keyboard.
cya in a sec
sprite is your name named after the soda "sprite"
Somehow I doubt it, frant
:-)
are you frantic in french?
nope .. i'm fran the antique dealer .. and i'm american
I was guessing when you said "Ny pizza".
no, not the soft drink, the fairytale creature
this day and age.. i think the whole world even third world countries have our equaivalant of pizza
aww a fairytale thats sweet
we have a NY pizza in amsterdam, I believe
sadly, unture frant
Chicago tops NY most days lol
LOL chicago is a deep dish pizza
you need a knife a fork for
NY you pick it up .. fold it lenght-ways and eat it on the run
that is true Frant. or you can dive in. NY pizzas come all crispy and waferlike. Blech
eating and running is like drinking and driving
oh Amsterdam.. do you really have lots of drugs etc there ?
LOL
hard to do without spilling sprite?
hahah
down in new orleans.. they have drive up BARS !!!!!
sick!
too risky, might lead to accidents, witchy :D
on behalf of my nation I would like to refer you to our previously broadcast converstion.
talk about drinkin and drivin!
And on behalf of my nation.. feel free to come eat pizza!
and only in america do they have braille on the drive up atms!!
the usual drugs problems of every big city, frant. And of course, in the Netherlands soft drugs aren´t illegal to have in a single person´s quantity.
yeah.. isn't that silly
well, now that you mention it, that Is funny.
yeah .. every city has its fair share
But it's standard for all atm's and cheaper to just do, rather than make two kinds.
braille on the drive ups? Ok, this dutch girl is baffled, lol. How weird.
but DRIVE UP ATM.. whos driving blind!?
Because they need to have braille on the lobby atms so why not just make them all that way?
about 60% of all drivers, I´d say, frnt
maybe for the blind drunks from the drive up bar in new orleans? lol
Nice sprite
From a production stand point, it makes sense to me, but I'm still wierd. And lazy.
i recenlty met a deaf woman.. from england.. she said that in Europe deaf speak with one hand.. in american two? or do i have that reversed?
No, you have that right frant
ASL alphabet one hand, British is two
don´t know, I only know that both languages exist and are used.
But that's also why it's called "asl" for American Sign Language
speaking, british one-handed, ASL, two
LOL dc
No way. Seriously, are you sure dc?
though ASL can, and is done one-handed w/out difficulty
A bunch of the asl I've learned for work is two handed...
hmmm
confident. Irish alphabet also is two-handed, but different from British.
interesting
I enjoyed taking to this deaf woman
for most of those signs, moon, you can drop a hand w/out much trouble.
i learnt seveal words from her
So I was mislead when I went to asl classes. The rats.
ASL as based on French Sign language, as are Spanish and Portuguese sign languages.
my sign language is very limited. ,,l, and \llll are about all.
Nice sprite. Very funny.
and then there are the italians who.. not even blind or deaf talk with both hands all the time hahahahaha
Figures. Only in america would it be important to make sure you could teach it to paralytics.
my grandparents were from italy
ah we do try to make all handicaps comfortable
i thought italians talked by feeding you
moon, some signs, like 'name' work best with two hands. others, like 'how', one is enough. Some have simplified from two to one over time, too.
LOL
But we cant seem to make time to make a descent text to speech program.
no we eat for the "fun of it" as my mom use to say!
I thought Italians talked while you ate.
Dragon works fairly well; i've several friends who use it.
deceain are you the guy who works 28 hour shifts?
americans talk while they eat
Now that I think about it I guess a bunch, could be, dc, but that takes away some of the "accent" and flavor... wierd.
it drives my hubby nuts that i talk and eat
americans work while they eat
i dont' eat wtih my mouth full but I talk LOTS at dinner
yes we eat and work
try sign language and eating at the same time
eat on the run.. thats why hot dogs and pizza are popular
we dont use knife and for them
sign is also useful in noisy environments.
i had 4-course mexican while worked tonight. :)
I think dc´s shifts are 14 hours, not 28?
I started learning it for customers. I kept learning it because I go deaf when there's background noise.
deseain are you the guy that works 28 hour shifts?
12 hours at work, and about 3 hours coummuting.
3? blech. That's gotta be Harsh on your hourly
awww 3 hours !!!
were in the USA are you?
I have 27 hr commutes but I only have to do it once a month lol
i'm in North Amerian on the Island of Long
the price of living here :) i drive 25mi/40km each way. Weekends, that's 30 min. weeknights, 60-90.
i'm in Northern Virgnia, outside of Washington, DC.
ah
hi all!
yes, explains all, doesn't it LOL :D
morning mva
morning, MVA :)
hi MVA!
g morning all
anyone found the m7?
I'm 19 miles from manhattan
it can take me hours by car to get there
hi Joes, it is french for a short coat, I believe
welcome back joe
hi joe

ty, sprite :)
wb, joes
hmm, thx sprite.

yw ;)
ty moon, dc hi fran
argh, how familiar and totally frustrating that sounds, MVA
hi joe

so annoying sprite!
have fun :-) and eat lots of chocolate!
good luck frant
PS i love virginia
sleep well, frant! And good luck on waking tomorrow, lol.

ty nite ./ morning
nite fran
I am on my hubby´s puter, MVA, my laptop died too. Is resurrected now, but I have to reinstall everything.
husband's lap top fine but only can be used for work!
gnight fran
hi Mva
all my fun things are on my puter alone as well. I am glad babble is on a website and available from all browsers.
sorry, was looking up french words. but i think that it must be something different sprite.
omg, the wind & rain here are out of control.
Joes: start with a guy. Add a consonant. And then add french water.
where are you, joe?
san francisco
starts like what comes after it, Joe, but ends with french water.
thx sprite.
ty sprite for ma7
yvw!
argh, and I finally found the el8! That would be a permit be someone that made others very happy and proud ;)
ty dc. took me a while.
i was thinking a diff kind of guy.
the el8 is weird - from a latin, it's adj for an order of roaches.
*a permit TO be someone....
wow, i didn't even know there was an el8.
I like my def better, dc ;)
something to look forward to.
is that what it is. I monkeyed that one. Nice to know.
u always do, sprite, and who can blame you :)
el 8 - what's the point value?
8/45
ty dc
lol, not always, but you must agree that this def is nice and cryptic and correct. it is 8/45, joes
are all of you done already?
I am down to 9, Joes
nope. I have 34 left
vn.
this grid has few words, but they are taking me forever.
I only have small ones le4 now, it is going fast for the last bit. The biggies were tough on me today.
i'm trying to do it without lickety's & it makes it tough at the end.
nice job avoiding sinbin sprite. : )
I know, it does. I almost always do it without lickety´s list (not yesterday though, lol). It is a lot of fun, though a little more time consuming and demanding on the brain.
fireworks
wow sprite, that's impressive. i have to admit i usu. use lickety's towards the end.
wtg!!
yay sprite!!!
congrats srite
it is not impressive, Joes, I have been babbling since before the lists and help pages, even before much clueing. I am used to it :)
thanks all :) Any clues needed before I go do other things?
yw. And welcome back, before you go.
well, you impress me sprite. regardless of how much practice you've put in.
congrats, sprite
and yes pls, last te5/10
*takes bow, blushing*
ah found it.
dc: numeral + 2 vowels. Singular of the 6 after it.
ty, sprite ;)
:P
i have 20 left. i think.
any more clues you don´t need? ;)
aren't there 122 this puzzle?
yes there are, joes
ty sprite for te
correct, Joes! 2x8 and 5x7
any other clue for el8? i'm stumped.
joes, add a passport or drivers license to end of word before it.
Joes: e + not early + get *** of the body before the police finds us.
ch6, sprite?
ty dc, sprite
dc: word before it + get **d of that body, I said!
ah, yes, i ought remember that one. ty.
ch6 more wary or timid dc
how do you do this sprite, if you don't know what to look for & don't know what you're missing...
glad to get my clue in before you found the word, LOL
it is easy now, Joes, since we have the tile stats. I can see how many words I am missing starting with a certain letter, and I know even from which tile they come.
i wasn't thinking arabic, so didn't try that order, nor think to.
isn´t that the 7, MVA?
ooh, i don't have that cause not a pro member.
i should just join. maybe i will do that.
ch6 is a body-covering veil
it's well worth the money, joes
yes sprite,i was confused!!
really, joe. It's worth it just to get rid of the big ears.
big ears?
before all that, we did without, Joes, we did not even know how many words in total. Though sometimes people listed some stats. Beginletter amounts and word lengths, mostly.
oh on my head, you mean those big ears?
yeah on your generihead
pro ship is not expensive, it is for life and you get your own purse next to your name, plus flag :)
good god, wind is beating rain against windows. thought it was going to tear the window open in apartment.
i have my maternal grandmother's ears. i will look like dumbo as i get older, just as she did. Very slavic ears.
wow Joes, sounds pretty intense
sounds bad joe. hope it lays off soon
dumbo is adorable
that will just make you look distinguished dc.
ty moon. me too.
those are the fun storms to watch - lightning striking everywhere :D
well, dc, they're different when you can cover them with hair, or distract them with your moustach!
i wasn't saying it'll look bad, just that i know that's in my future :) looked fine on her, will so on me, too
But you might wanna cover the window with a blanket, in case it breaks.
i already have a full beard, though that varies a tad when i'm in a play, depending on the role.
or you could shave bald and have a row of ear piercings, to let them really stand out.
Late Flip!!
Mornin fran'
aloha, fran! :D
that's smart moon. i might do that.
hi fran.
Joes, if you have big ears, stay inside during the storm.
hi joes!
hi Fran, aloha!
hi dc! hi moon!
hi fran
LOL sprite!
fran, ur here just in time for bed, i see :) late night?
hi mva! hi sprite!
lmao sprite. i have been duly warned. if i get carried away by my ears in the wind, then it is my own damB fault
well, got to go now, will be back if computer behaves!!!!
we went out for dinner and grocery shopping after
Fran, want my great clue for the EL8 before I split?
cat helping me type. pressed caps lock.
then i did my other puzzles first so i can relax with this
What can I say joe, I'm a troubleshooter. Better prepared than repairing.
MVA, my prayers go with you!
take it fran. cause i can't remember what it was.
nice. we always did that growing up, every other Friday.
go for it sprite!
night mva!
cya mva
ciao, MVA, may that it continue working.
gnight mva
smart moon. i wouldn't have thought of it.
el8/45: a permit that shows you are a person with a right to make people very happy or proud.
I used to teach survival camping to boy scouts.
woo hoo! got it
thanks sprite! ((hug))
see, Fran understands me right away!
coconut radios and all, moon?
Nothing like being responsible for nere-do-wells to teach you lol
wow. you should take me camping sometime moon. i need to learn some survival skills.
eating bugs and all, yes dc =)
but of course sprite, we do share that brain sometimes. :-)
ooh, sounds like fun moon!
*hugs* to you all, it has been a pleasure as ever! We do, Fran, we sing in unison and think alike ;)
gn sprite. thank you ever so much. : ) sweet dreams.
have a great day spritey!
ciao, sprite, have a great day!
ugh. never mind on the survival skills, moon. it's bad enough having roaches in the puzzle. i don't want to eat them too.
Actually, joe, I try Not to camp in my time off. Being at work is so like it I have to relish what time I can get indoors. But if you can get a week off sometime in 2009 lemme know =)
nite sprite
nah, it is morning here, Joes. I will wait with dreams until a little later :D
sorry sprite. forgot about time difference.
rarely do you find roaches to eat outside. They're "indoor" bugs mostly.
maybe i should go have some dreams.
Might be hard without earplugs joe.
hmmm. not in the south where i grew up. they were everywhere bugs.
yeah, but i like the sound of raindrops slamming against the windows.
mighty relaxing.
Ah. I'm most familiar with the North end of the states...
joes, same here in Hawaii, you can see them running around in the grass.
there is a type of roach that lives in decomposing leaves and loamy earth here, which die within hours of ending up indoors. they're 4cm wide, 6cm long, very flat, and brown.
slamming is realxing. wierd.
one sees others in the woods too.
yeah, not so much really. : )
and those horible hissing horned beetles. thos creep me out.
If I recall tho, dc, those are more marshy roaches. Most raoches avoid anyplace that gets cold...
it mostly doesn't get very cold here, moon.
ugh, yeah, i just remember when i was a kid they used to fly into our faces at night if we turned on garage light or something...
Actually, I thought those were kinda funny after I figured out that nothing electrical was popping.
we get a frost that freezes more than the surface of the ground once every 15-20 years.
fran - you're in hawaii? what part?
Oahu joes
cool. my best friend is moving back there soon & I hope to go visit him.
did you grow up there fran?
where is going to be living?
i just now found the re4/5 of paper!!
he's not totally sure yet. depends on where he can get a job.
hawai'ian goose alert today, fran
and firewords :)
and volcanoes. careful.
congrats dc
oh thanks dc! i never find that one until someone says it!
to sinbin with you dc....
i did see the volcano!
yay dc!!!
hey, moon. wb.
was I gone?
huh?
joes, my father was born here and we used to vacation here when he was alive, but I grew up in Guam, just moved here in 2001
oh, you meant fireworks. wtg!!! lol, my brain is switched to off.
oh, you must parse words as sprite does. my brain is wired differently, and i don't see that way.
well, you've been absent from the chat for some hours
I mighta been in the grid, sorry. What'd I miss?
nothingmuch. oh, ur icon changed, didn't it.
joes we say firewords because another babbler did a typo once and we all liked the way it sounded. :-)
no. *shrugs*
Right. We were talking bugs @ 4.24 =P
that's cool fran.do you love it? everyone I know who lives there says it's amazing.
ahhh. joes is always 2 steps behind and usually has foot in mouth, making it hard to walk.l
one person does it because she doesn't see the fireworks, as she's chosen not to pay.
it is a great place to live joes
or type, apparently.
And you mentioned playing antigone in an upcoming play. You were worried you'd trip on your ears.
lmao moon.
=D
A familar bablet today: Tocsin /TOCK-sin/, noun: 1. An alarm bell, or the ringing of a bell for the purpose of alarm. 2. A warning.
ok, i hate to do it b/c you all are such good company, but i have to sleep. i am not functioning worse than usual.
g'night joes, sleep well.
Well, good luck joe. Sleep sweet.
okay joes! sleep well and attack the grid fresh tomorrow
gn all. see you manana, hopefully.
I hadn't noticed earings in your pic, dc.
huh? Earings?
yeah. Like alarm bells =)
When you get a couple together they ding when you shake yur head.
I had figured you weren't an earring kinda guy...
i've been tempted off and on, but not gone down that path, just as i've never had green hair :(
Aw. I bet you'd look good in a nice Forest green =(
My grandpa believed that tattoos and scars were a bodily diary or personal history.
So when I started doing fairs I got a new earring for each fair.
indeed so, moon, i can agree with that.
I quit at my 9th lol
After that the tattoos started
over here it's more unusual to not have a tattoo.
They are Way easier to cover up.
I can see that Fran. Tribal Hawiians believed in the personal history, too.
It's prolly changed some since then, but I'm not surprised to hear it.
Do you have one fran?
yeah, a lot of it is tribal type tattoos, but there are lots of Japanese also, so a lot of the Japanese, yakuza type tattoos also, very elaborate
i have two very small ones
I bet they're darling.
but i got them in Guam, first was to commemorate my 30th birthday
a scorpion on a red sun
you grew up in Guam, fran?
the other one is chinese symbol for the year of the horse
I have a scorpion, too. For a girl, that's not common....
yes dc, born and raised in Guam
are you a scorpio moon?
Nope. Scorpio sun =) I was gunna ask.
omg. I'm Such a geek
lol, i meant moon as in i was directing the question to you. :-)
I'm such a geek that I happen to know I'm a scorpio sun sign with a Cancer moon sign and a pisces ascendant. I'm glad you got that.
That would have been a bit more geek than I think I have in me, today, to explain.
i used to look up all that stuff too, but being born on Guam made it hard to find charts that worked
I had a hard time, too, at first. I was born in Rota. But they have better chart programs now.
were you really born in Rota?
Yup. Dual citizen, and everything.
Like rota is something I could just whip out lol
why dual citizen? you mean for the Commonwealth of the Marianas?
Oh, no. Rota, Spain.
Spanish dual citizen.
ahhh, there's an island called Rota that's north of Guam!
you can see my confusion. :-)
I know. I Just thought of that when you asked.
of course, the island is less than 20 sq. miles so it would be reallly unusual to be born there!
My grandfather spent a lot of time stationed in the pacific. I think he ported most everywhere, and he had a map marked with places left to go.
Rota was one of those he marked.
on a clear day you can see Rota from Guam, but I've never been there. I missed the field trip to go there in Junior High.
They don't even allow dual citizenship anymore, tho.
What would the field trip have seen? He just wanted to go there cause it was my birth namesake...
too bad
ciao, yall. must do work stuff. see yall tomorrow. good day/night to each of you.
I know Nothing about it except where it is on the map.
Cya dc. Have a good morning
there is another babbler that was born in Guam, but Dax' family left when he was 2 years old.
bye dc! have a good rest when you get home!
ty, bye! {poof}
We left when I was 5, but they still allowed it, as I made sorta regular trips across "the pond".
And my parents owned property thru a proxy.
it's been great chatting moon, but it's time for me to get to bed.
especially since i'm not finding any new words!
ty. been good for me, too. Best of dreams
you too! sleep well when you get there!
it'll be a while, but I will.
bi
there I go shouting out again.
bi
I must be nuts today...
So, not only am I shouting out, I am talking to myself!
only sorta =) I just got back
good morning
morning. Sleep well?
sorta. you?
Still up. I dont sleep often.
why not.
Means I can work lots and still babble tho =)
neural imbalance. How come you didn't sleep well?
I had a dream that I was very aware of and it was rather annoying. Then daughters brought me out of my sleep before I would have woken on my own.
Sorry to hear. At least daughters can be trained. No idea what to do about dreams.
Or perhaps, suggested...(?)
No, daughters don't listen. The age for proper training is long gone. I made so many mistakes. (did plenty good too I think though)
And actually, I prefer to be awake for them anyway.
lol. Hindsight. darn hindsight.
Yeah that Hindsight. Too bad the kids don't learn form the parent's hindsight.
That's true.
And kinda sucks, but could be worse. They gotta leave, sometime.
And then you get to appreciate the bad parts from far away =)
The leaving begins in less than 1 year for me and ends in about 4 years the youngest (son) will leave for college too.
lol, Moon, I am looking forward to missing the bad stuff
If they're that old, wouldnt beatings or imprisonment work? =P
Heck at that age what cant they get themsleves...?
Too old for beatings. Imprisonment, somewhat. Yes they can get themselves out. I just like to be available. I am just awake. I am babbling after all.
I hope you meant the playing kind =)
of course...
Oh good. Otherwise I'd have to tell you maybe you needed to go back to bed, but that doesn't quite seem accurate. Sorry I'm not more amusing, this morning.
Oh, you are quite amusing!
I just know I've been more so =P And, of course, I can't remeber a Single joke.'
well, thats all right. I don't need to be amused with jokes
I know. It just figured. The moment you want one,...
Well, I thought that joke about me babbleing was an excellent one.
Just like a taxi.
Do you use babble xpert?
Yes, I love it. It has really shortend the amount of time it takes me to play
Lickety just turned me onto it, last night. Have you seen these videos??
some have been very good
This selling the internet one is hilarious.
it that one todays?
oh. nope. Todays was good, tho. Since I just got it I'm digging around in it and found the list of previous videos.
What is the most recent date you have on your list of videos?
most recent? 5-12
ok, just wondering. I am looking for one that was a few days after that one It was of 2 guys using crutches, one had only one leg. They were DANCING
I think I've seen that, actually. Dressed in white?
I think. If you could help me find it I would be thrilled
Wait. The one I remember only had one guy in it... dressed in white.
Sure. np.I'm sfinished, so babble away for a bit.

I had to close the window as i left it open, saw the garage door open went oh ???? raced down got into garage. Rain and hail pelted down. Garage ankle deep in water. about 10 bags of my clothes are ruined. Various magazines, some stuff from my high school days, expensive vinyl cover water damaged
All the bags had been water leaked before (thought they were on the dry side of the garage). I managed to put up high after having tanty and a cry my 3 wooden draws that are in there.
I rang my b.f and he was a hero. he left work and come straight home despite driving in flooding rain. We had about 40mil of rain hit in one go. There i am done

**calling the office to inform them that my cyberspace friend just shot me and I have to take the day off**
hmmmm i hope they dont send the cyber police after me LOL
you are such a good friend Nono
Dr God will never reveal your location. Isn't Nanette the bestest, pabtrek?
they shouldn't, after all Scrabbler asked to be shot
she is Scrab
true I was only fulfilling her wishes
Yes, of course, I consented and would never press charges.
morning all to all who are here whilst i was submerged looking for final 25
Hi bbnaz. I am recovering from a gunshot wound. I asked Nanette to shoot me after I put grid words in the chat, and now I can't go to work. Too bad.
yahoo--are you done, betsy?
nope not done and your wounds look to be healing just fine!
aw poor poor scrabbler! ; )
damn fine shooting though I must say. precision shots at their finest!
I got some magical wound healing potion from Harry Potter, so i am fine now.
There's been a shooting? I knew I shouldn't have gone off duty.
i was very careful to make it a superficial wound
hi bbnaz
hello pab
No crime though, Hazel. It was kind of like a failed euthanasia attempt--so I can't go to work.
Minor flesh wounds.
good morning babblers
anybody want/need a lovely young dog?
Hi flosey
A classic cry, not for attention, but for a bit of peace?
Awww, why, Betsy?

Well, I guess if I want to earn some $ I had better go into work, huh?
hi hazel

Hello Nono and TO!

Boss, Richard Head, has actually been in a good mood this week. So I have been less homicidal.
hi TO and pink!
I hear that £ are better to earn
Good morning, my little dumplings! Oh, great. Just in time for conversation about Dick Head.
I once worked with a Dick Rising
Well, Nanette, thanks for making me laugh. I do have to get ready for work now. 11-6. Snow is coming down now so that may scare parents off from driving with their little ones unnecessarily.
good morning judi

Oh, dear--what were their parents thinking??
Hi Kinney!

hi crpw
Bye everyone. See you tonight.
bye scrabbler, hi crpw
Ooooh. I'm proud of myself. I just found the er7.

Some are Pro players, crpw
How many words total today, anyone?
If you fill out your Babble Expert profile, you may designate yourself as male or female (hence pink or blue person icon).

mkg, take the ch4/7 and add inits. for smallest US state
how can you have a ch word with "bc" in it if there is only one c?
something is wrong cuz i have tried this over and over and it wont take it.
ch6is off the ch4 above it and 1st 2 letters of what you wear on your finger
sorry too much christmas spirit dont know my afters from my befores!!
It is the year of or lord, not bc

Haven't heard from jo yet...
ty uni :) (figures you'd have that one)
i got a quick email from her the other day giving me her address
did you get the ma ruru?
I do what I can, Lady ;)
yes thank you very much lil
tell her to email me please.....well, you ask her, rather than tell her.....lol
yw ruru, are they your dogs deb, i can't see them, when i click on them i see your lovely pups and i've refreshed, i think you need to refresh.
i will flask, or no doubt one of us will see her later
i still dont have the le 6/.18 though
le****ant in armed forces
I'm missing a cr5/12 and a cr4/7
extend the le4/4 above ruru
cr is one who weeps
Lilliann...are you done?
le+ the middle of ma6/21 + a consonent
cr4,7 rhmes with a slang word for potato
oh for heaven's sake, I should have had those
ty lilli
no flask, 35 left and going in a bit for some tea
yw lady
the bairn's at her grandads for the night so peace and quiet and time to babble
Enjoy yourself then lilli
i will ty cait, but now i don't know what to have for tea....hubby bought loads of sprouts yesterday which need to be eaten before we go to france for xmas so i should do something with them...anyone have any ideas for sprouts apart from steaming them?
Someone suggested slicing them and frying them in butter onions and garlic
Shred then and stirfry them with mushrooms, bacon, peppers, Lil.
i was thinking of sauteeing them with a bit of honey, i think i saw jamie oliver doing it on an advert
I'm sure they could work in some sort of casserole...
I can't find the le 6 I am going nutso here
Hi Jac
ohh, that sound nice jac, the only thing i haven't got is bacon
hi jac
le+ the middle of ma6/21 + a consonent
Ham cut into strips would do just as well, Lil.
Chuck a few pine nuts in, too.
extend the season before Easter with 1st 2 letters of the word to finish
if the bairn hasn't eaten all the ham, i could have that but i don't have any pine nuts, loads of different types of seeds, but no nuts
Mix the seeds in at the last minute, Lil, as you serve it.
but you can't get to the middle of the ma 6 from the le?
Jacula, are you Martha Stewart undercover? :)
Is that the woman who went to prison and came out in a poncho? LOL
good idea jac.ty, now i know what i'm having for tea and i might saute some potatoes aswell.
I can't seem to see the di5/12
nm finally found it thanks for trying to help me
leave off the ma, use the next 3 letters of what you hang Christmas stockings on, then follow with a consonant...
Sounds good, Lil. I'm off to make a spag bol and some garlic bread shortly.
cool beans!
that sounds nice aswell, have you any spare?
Dunno yet, Lil. I haven't made it yet. LOL
lady to eat with a vowel put in the middle
in other words can i come for tea!!
And me please!
Might have to keep some in the oven for you, Lil.
... and Caitlyn.
thank you, caitlyn
I just want the garlic bread, so if you could post that to Nova Scotia, that'd be fab...
YW Lady
we're on our way jac
Okay. I'll put the kettle on. Or would you prefer a hot toddy?;-)
it might be a bit stale by the time you get it uni and a bit smelly, but atleast it'll ward of the vampires!
lilli just out of interest..are you keeping your icon?
*Makes note to parcel up garlic bread and post to Nova Scotia.* It's dead easy to make, you know.
hot toddy please Jac
hot toddy for me pls
yes cait
I know...I just don't think Mum has any garlic about right now. I make it quite often...Love garlic!
LOL :)
do you think i should change it?
hello y'all
No, leave the little chap Lil. He's funny.
I need the last 2 le's too
Hello maryq
hi mary
Im not passing any comment its up to you
Hello, Mary.
Hi mary
it offended haz earlier
last le6/18 please?
Lil - I'd be surprised if it did. I expect she was kidding. I wasn't here then... was out shopping for groceries.
They only way to see it properly is to click on it .so that shouldnt be a problem
oh for heavens sake, lilli... you want offensive? I can find you offensive. This is fine. And cute
I've only seen Haz upset on here a few times...and that was by irritation and idiocy...not a funny photo :)
I think its funny
i don't want to offend anyone but it's a bit of fun
She did seem offended though and left the chat room
DON'T YOU DARE CHANGE IT!!!!!!
It certainly doesn't offend me Lill - makes me smile, rather
hey everyone
hay
Hi praise

hi praise
Heya again Praise. Presents all wrapped up?

Don't have it yet, Lady.
Thanks, cait. I will later.
Done think anyone has it, Ladynatts!
Oh poor lady.sorry ,extend the period before Easter with 1st 2 letters of a word that means finish
Hm, just read back Lill and I don't think she seemed overly offensive. Perhaps she was just popping in for a minute and left of a sour note
alee

caffeine is detrimental to...everything. At least for me. Very bizarre
oh my uni
don't think I could make it through the day without my caffeine
it might be detrimental to me too Uni, but I'm willing to take the chance
re 6/18, just got it... re + sounds like person between ages 13 & 18
i dislike caffeine...i try to avoid caffeinated pops, i only drink non-caffeinated tea, and i detest coffee
not a coffee drinker either
although I do like the occasional cappucino
not sure if I spelled that right
metaleather, your cat pics are wonderful!! i love cats
It sounds like you've found a regimen that really works for you Uni. I've never developed a taste for coffee, and can take tea with or without caffeine... but I love my colas
yes they are adorable metal
thanks debjed. I'm trying to get some of the newer pics onto this computer so I can post more current ones.
those tiny furballs are huge now
did you keep them all?
i fostered five kittens once. it was fun but a lot of work:)
I adore their names metal...hopefully they live up to them :)
yes, although the intent was to release Mama back into the wild after she had weaned them and been spayed... and to keep one, perhaps two of the babies, placing the rest with a wonderful shelter for adoption... we ended up falling in love with all the babies and when it was time for Spot to go back outside we couldn't blast her out the door
Data... nick-named high-speed-Data-transfer certainly does. He has two speeds, fast and faster
she knew when she was well off!!
so you have many black and whites to keep track of
yes, but their markings are all different so it's not a problem. and Rumor, our little girl, is striped patches instead of black
hello everybody
hi ypsi
must go now, see you later
I've only 9 words to go... 8 of them are te's
bye for now debjed, nice meeting you
6 more words...**craws toward finish line**
oh, LadyN, wish I could help but te's are thin on the ground in my list
go Uni, go!
I've got the te, which do you need?
thanks, metal... *crawls to the finish with uni*
Wait, nm...you need all but two, lol
Well, three of them start with te + stick letter
cute kittens metal!
tyvm ypsi
two more are the number after nine with 2 and then 3 vowels at the end
and you too Uni, now I have ideas on what to look for
three more again are t + double vowel
anyone clue me the re618?...not the one that's an extension of the re4
That is my last re, Lady..I've been hoping for a clue too
re+alt spelling of a kid aged 13-18
re6.18 is it Capone after previous one?
seasons greetings everyone
Could have sworn I tried that already. Thanks grammaT

HAHAHA! I finished! I am so pleased....*dancing unnecessarily like a hooligan**
Hope you have a Merry Christmas
my goal is to get half way before resorting to Lickety's... not sure if I'll make it or not bad for the ego
yayyyyyyyy Uni!!!!

ty Une, I'm working on getting some new ones on this computer so I can put up more current shots of the babies (some of whom out weigh Mama)
glad we'll get to see more! ;-)
ch 6,27?
a couple of the boys are as large as/larger than Spot
and they're only 8 months old
are you keeping the whole family?
add to the 4/7 before, bfs....it's **diculous
yes, by the time it was time to give the babies to a shelter and have mama spayed/released back outside she'd decided inside was better and my fella and I'd fallen in love with her and all the babies too
odd word! ty Lady
wow, lotsa kitty love! LOL
yw
i've 5 cats and 2 dogs in my household
:-D
all are neutered/spayed... none from the same family
oh, and there's a dove in the mix too
yep, very nice though on the cooler nights. they all pile on the bed and make great bed warmers. (interesting side effect of this is that we don't move much on those nights)
wowie!!!!!!!!!!
all of ours are family Mother and 5 offspring, and all are spayed/neutered
*sigh*... 5 left .. all te's ... I think I'll take a break
I need 3...cant find them....al6/21...le6/18...and un5/18....any help?
le 6/18 pertaining to the religious period before Easter
un5 his eyesight is so bad, he's un*** for service
got it...thanks
al6... begins what you give to the poor, single hump and a pause word (like um)
al 6/21: one at the priory gates who gave food to the beggars
I kept wanting to do that with a circle in the middle LadyN
is that the real definition, metal?... cool
yayyy, thanks to the clues I've made it to the point I'll allow my self to use Lickety's
hi everyone :)
hey cybernan
hi nan
going to go for a while
got them all...thanks
back for my last 2: ma 8 and e 7
presents await
bbl
congrats ouwa
sorry thats ma 7 and el 8
ma8...part of a phrase that has words like smog and motel...french sounding
nan...the el8 is a take off of the el6 just before it
woohoo - fireworks. clues for anyone?
yayyyyy Denny!
ty ouwa
keep wanting to put in newfie!
can't make head or tails of that ma 7 clue!
cybernan - ma8 = opp of lady + a beverage + last vowel
nan...there is a french word that means a word made up of two words combined...i.e. smog = smoke _ fog....motel = motor + Hotel
ah -- got it -- don't know what it has to do with smog and a motel though -- it is a french word for cloak.
or coat
put a port in front of the word and see what that means
the English word portema***** comes from it
french suitcase?
what's the policy here on talking about other games?
that's with a port, cyber
yes
i like a nice port - especially with some stilton!
thanks everyone for jumping in with clues. Sometimes I find the clues harder to decipher than the actual words.
anyway I'm done now -- thanks for the help :)
lol smoove
I've 5 words left ... all te's ... I'm just waiting for someone to clue them, because I'm all out of ideas
I'll go for the stilton as long as it's not blue --- will leave the port though!
Metal--you mean like Scrabble?
coat stand or coat rack
speaking of stilton, we get a lovely cherry brandy stilton here at Christmas that is to die for.
sounds yummy, nan
no, there's a browser MMORPG I found the other day and have become addicted to
jumping in. I love mango Ginger stilton.
yes I like that one too book
my braces don't like the chunks of ginger though!
i have not seen the cherry brandy one here. will have to look for that.
Yeah, the holidays are great. But I just bypass eating and add the cheese, cookies, etc directly to my hips
It is really good if you like a strong cheese
does the cherry have chunks of cherry?
we can all revert to South Beach after the festivities, smoove, and moan over a green veggie, no booze diet
yes, book -- chunks of brandied cherry
I love South Beach. I went on it for 7 days so I could enjoy the holidays.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO!! What a ride!"
all this cheese sounds delicious
I love that Booky.
That's the only diet that suits me --- been on it for 3 years now and so far have managed to keep the weight off --- great to be back to a size I hadn't seen since pre-children
That was the tale end of some Holiday advice I got this year.
That's a great sentiment,Book
I love SB too. Only I think I'll slit my wrists if I see another chicken caesar salad
I love the sound of it, book -- just not the look!
I live about 2 miles from one of the official stilton manufacturers in Nottinghamshire - very tempting!!
only thing on it I couldn't stand was the cauliflower potatoes!
cauliflower potatoes?
stilton melted over saute mushrooms mmmmmm
I eat pretty much everything now except bread and potatoes
ooh, Denny --- stoooop!
I love those potatoes! You mash steamed cauliflower. Tastes great
or nice and simple, stilton on digestive biscuits
Okay...snack time. Catch y'all later
not me -- squash is my potato substitute
I am going to have to dig some cheese up in the frig.
bye smoove
bye smoove
1/2 hour til lunch, here
off to see how I do at eight1 --- back at the flip -- unless someone needs a clue?
I've got a stsh left over from a family get together last week, stilton, brie, camembert, roule and a mature cheddar. (homer sound effects uuuurrrggghh) might have to hit it later with some peppered salami and crackers
leaving to run errands. be back later to finish the puzzle.
see you later book
not a nice pate, Denny? -- preferrably fois gras?
i have a pate but i can't stand it - think it's a brussels pate. am going to make a game pate for christmas dinner - for the men in the family!!!!
mmm -- that sounds good!
bfn -- catch you later or tomorrow :)
my own recipe which hubby says is very nice. considering i hate the stuff i don't think that's too bad!!!
right, olympia horse show is on so time to get the kettle on and settle down. bye all
'bye Denny, enjoy the show
help with the last te 5/10, and 6/18?
te5/10 singular of the 6/18 following it
ty nurse and Ladyn
te 6/18 number+ 3rd vowel, plus Latin plural vowels.
I need the 6/18 after, so that's not going to help
7,8,9,......
try the number after nine and three vowels
that worked! thank you nurse
terrible word to clue. Never heard of it before.
fireworks for me
those te's caused me no end of grief
yayyyy LadyN!
YAY!!!! Lady. Congrats.
ty ty
the dw5/20 word's a new one to me

yes, but using Lickety's
I agree on the dw. Never heard it used by anyone. I had to monkey it.
wtg lady and hi again to all
back in a bit, all the talk of cheese has my belly rumbling for breakfast wb lili

i've only seen normal stilton here but you can get christmas cake cheddar which is actually quite nice.
Hi Lil, Just lurking . Finished earlier now I'm looking for something to do that's fun. Spent the day grocery and gift shopping.

peeks back in and tosses nurse a lifeline... try Travian
i'm back to get my last 34 and am eating my sprouts whilst doing it as bairn is at her grandad's for the night then i have to finish wrapping presents.

i love sprouts nurse and hubby bought loads yesterday as they were cheap but we need to eat them as going away for xmas on sunday

http://www.travian.com/
Which te5?
Good metal. I'll look that up.
coooeeeeeeeeeeeeee
don't have 1st one sorry
al6,21 clue anyone??
hi flaskkkk, eating my sprouts then i will email...promiseeee!
need that one also kry
al- a person who gives to the poor krysten
ok.....I have just eaten a bowl of raspberry trifle.......
you give al*s to the poor and i'm ***vous of giving clues
te5/10 - Latin plural of te4/4 above it.
hello!!
it would sound better than my sprouts flask, but i love sprouts and don't like puds...weird i know!
hi pink, how are you?
ok, finally got it. Thank Lilliann
I love sprouts too...
im good lil..tired...but that's nothing new lol you?
Hi Pink!
sorry, not good at clueing
hi flask how ya doing/
re6/18 please
am well thanks Pink....and yourself?
what do you mean "sprouts"? We have bean sprouts and brussel sprouts, but I don't think that is what you are talking about.
be happier when xmas is finished with....i think i'm becoming a grinch(as paul o'grady says)
Brussell sprouts!
brussel sprouts nurse
im good..but tired flask
Hello all - back for 50 - very late - very tired - very hectic day - will go to list i think
i never liked them until i became pregnant with my daughter, now i love them
why are you tired pink, not sleeping well?
hi ursh
anybody clue re6/18 please?
Hi ursh
re6/18 re+ rhymes with ages 12-19
re5/12
its a mixture of money problems, lil pink still sleeping in the bed with me and babble lol
which re6/18 do you need flask
shich squrell?
i got a good recipe of jac earlier and put in a few other things (like a stir fry) and am having little potatoes roasted and roast parsnips as they had to be eaten....very nice.
which
both please pink
will, she not sleep on her own then pink?
probably a silly question
how old is she pink?
re5/12 - half the diameter
re when you lease something you get a re agreement
no she wont, she is nearly 2 and is very attached to me, i like her in the bed with me once in awhile but every night is doing my back in
re5/12-- royal kingdom
flask think of the re**** market for living in a property that doesn't belong to you
have you seen supernanny on tv pink, she has helped with parents who have the same problems....normally by just keep putting them back into bed until they get the idea, i know its hard
i do watch supernanny, when i remember its on. i do put her to sleep in her room, then through the course of the night she creeps into my bed; by then im half asleep and cant be asked to take her back downstairs
how are you with that clue flask?
ty nurse
you have to though lil. Had that prob with my daughter too. Also helps to set up rewards for her for doing it
my bairn is 8 and would love to sleep in my bed every night if my hubby wasn't at home(he works away a few days a week) but i only let her sleep occasionally as a treat....she fidgets too much for a start,but she never did it when she was younger, it's just recently, now she says she has a tummy ache!
yw. My clues aren't too great, so happy you got it.
like, something small for every night, 5 nights something bigger, 2 weeks something... and a month
al6/21?, didnt understand that clue, sorry
by then she'll be staying there
does the reward method work on a 2 year old?
or should i say will it work on a 2 year old
hmmm maybe a calender would help her a lot in that case, maybe more making a big deal out of every night she stays in bed
yes pink, any bribery works on a toddler
or any age child upto the teens
even if it's a trip to the park or somewhere she likes to go
al6 - one who gives money to the poor.
or you reading a favourite story of hers
how many have you got left flask?
when you donate to a charity or to a poor person you give al++)
yes pink, kc's right, make a big fuss of her everytime she sleeps on her own, or the longer she does it
sorry im thinking, i think im brain dead,,,lol
i say she is 2 but, really she is 2 on sunday... during the day its not a problem she will go to her room, when she gets sleepy. at night i put her to bed then she does the ritual...i read to her, i give her a baby massage after a bath to chill her out and make her sleepy and she still finds her way into my room...im weak at telling her no for wanting to sleep with me. I guess i made the rod for my own back!
first three letters are a type of nut +++ond.
the baby massage sounds great pink, but you have to be more sterner now and keep putting her back, it'll take time but it will work in the end
ty so much, sheesh i done,lol
wtg squerll!
i will try kc's suggestion and see if it works. i will keep you posted on my findings!! thanks for the advice babblers i really appreciate it!! im a young mum still learning the art of motherhood lol
Great!! That happens to me too when I get close to finishing. Congrats. Squeerll

ty nurse, yall have a great day bye for now
you may hire a car whilst on holiday from a car re**** company. that is the only re6 i have
when tou lease a flat you have a re**** agreement, it goes off re4,4 flask
bye squerll
kids are very clever and manipulative what ever age!
have you got it now flask?
ok got that one...and the other one?
i don't have the otherone yet
thats comforting to know...sometimes i feel like im constantly doing the wrong thing...my daughter is an exceptional intelligent little girl according to our health visitor, so i know that she knows exactly what she is doing and i fall for it nearly all the time
re 6/18 re+(# after 9)+vowel
Pink....every single mother in the land is going gthro' or has gone thro' the very same......you are NOT alone.....so don't worry on that score!
re6/18 re + scrambled spelling for someone more than twelve and less than twenty
pink, parenting is the hardest thing in life i think, there is no wrong or right way just the way that works for you and your children

aslong as you enjoyed the night herin!
I need to get this done and get everything out of the garage and up high. more storms on the way
er7?
what are the stats on the ra just mentioned please?
no ra back there
Lili I lost everything i owned that was in the garage. Big storm and stuff. I explained all this at 641am grid time
herin what type of storm?
ra5.12 - latin plural - uses unlikely dble vowel on end
oh no lady...that sounds like a horrible ordeal :(
thanks lynxx
er7 knowledgeable, good with words!
oh, sorry to hear that herin, i'll have to go read it.
Mlf thunder lightening 20 mil of rain in one dump some parts 40mil. Roads under 2 feet of water that kinda thing
Lynxx you inside toda?
ma7/36 please
mostly Infernal, storms again?
Krista thats why i had to run off yesterday.
herin YIKES.. We need rain here but that is a bit much for me....is your house okay from the first time?
Yes predicted.
te 5/10 the last te /510
House is fine but it did actually shift upstairs in a wind gust that was kinda scary. That and the ankle deep in water in the garage.
wow! the NW of the US experienced something similar last month and people are still "digging" out...I am so sorry that happened to you lady
herin as long as inside and you and family are okay that is all that matters
ma7 a guy plus a flat hill or tableland is a pla****
Am finished........sorry to see whats happened to you Herin....
betty...I don't have an ma7 yet btw
Thanks anyway kristinc
great clue lynxxx!
i got the ma 7 woohoo
Yes well we are all good. Poor cat was inside alone when it hit. My stuff is mostly summer clothes and crap. On the bright side there is less crap to move and we can fit a mini in the garage (its one of those 1930s garages tiny)
ma + the second half of a french chocolate cake is the MA 7
i was just going to say that must have been scary with your bedroom shifting but you've just said it, bf was gtreat though herin...did you msnage to save anything?
wtg flask!woohoo!
i agree krist worked for me!
Ruru - the te5 may be the latin plural of the te4.4 before it - don't have all the Ts yet
herin what state are u in?
did you get hit just as bad lynn?
my typing is getting worse!!
Lili i have no idea yet. I know that i lost magazines a 1930s encyclopedia set which i know can be replaced. I also got my rare first run Star Wars vinyl water damaged when it fell into the water (DOH)
no I need the te 5/10 after the latin
Same storm Lill - happily I had my roof checked a month ago...great to get decent rain though we really need it
i thought it was suppose to be summer in auss?!
MLF i am in vic. I agree lynxx but ankle deep wadding pool in my garage is not going to help the drought :P
Thanks for the ma7 everyone.
vic?
atleast your house was ok lynn, sorry to hear about yours though herin
MLF my icon is of the storm the orange bit is heavy rain is what hit. Lynxx at least you didn't lose (or is it loose) your roof. That gust was a bit scary
you know......us brits don't know we're living sometimes.....weatherwise!!
its lose herin
herin, you can replace things but not people.
losing a roof not good
bye everyone, going to take me a nap, bbl
i don't know flask, look at the floods we had in the summer!
bye helen
At least we don't get the extremes that they don't do elsewhere!
Exactly lili plus it means i get a new wardrobe when i lose more weight woot
Hey at least we don't get snow and ice which is really bad.
it would be nice to have some warm weather for a change though
Bye helen
bye helen...have a nice nap
Yes Lill...I know......but on such a regular basis...I mean to some folk extreme weather is a way of life!!
I have to take the cat to get her injections at midday that is payback for this mornings antics of 'attack the Qu tip monster'
aye your right flask...its not like we have suffer all the time, not like some of the poorer countries in the world that have so many different weather crisises?
is there such a word as crisises?
Ruru - the number te* & japan is an As**n country
em?????....I think not....lol
lili ummm no lol
oh, shame!!hee hee
never mind, I know what you meant
the plural of crisis is crises
lyn that is a te word right?
are you sure?? as there are weirder words on here!
ahh, ofcourse it is lyn.ty

Hi Stid

yes stid it is
thanks *looking*
Hey St ID mama
I've got fireworks @#$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$#@#$%^&*()_+ Time to get back to weaving.
YAH RUMPLE
YAY rumple!!!!!
what are you weaving?
lol Rumple - found it easy did you? congrats
well done rumple!
Christmas towels, white linen with christmas trees along each end border. Then I am stitching little gold stars on top of each tree.
i am out might be back
Rumple wow cool.
oh, those sound divine! what a gift to have a skill like that. :-)
okay, I need HELP on the EL 8! *sigh*
g'nite milfan
Oh drat thats what i lost yesterday. At least one of my taperstries
St ID mama
It takes the most time to thread the loom with the fine linen thread.
Stid i need it first to find it for you
Today's was a snap compared to yeserday!!!
LOL lynxxx... I see you...
thats the clue Stid
I bet. needs a lot more threads to make an inch than a blanket, I imagine.
??? clue ? hmmm *wrinkles brow in thought*
32 threads per inch
GOT IT!!! {{{lynxxx}}} good clue, bad seeker...
bye milfan
that's a bunch, I think. But it will be so lovely. I have thought about learning to weave. It fascinates me. But so far, no opportunity to take classes when offered
wtg rumple!
later MLF
okay, next conundrum: ER?
Is that an 8 Stid that Er:
no, ER 7
if you are er7 then you are really goods with words and have much knowledge etc
tizer?
what is the other 8 please
It's a 7, er + 5th vowel + Aphro****
the other 8 is LA
Ta
rofl... oh man, now you ALL know what I am not! *grin* thanks rumple
and lynxxx
down to three.
TWO...
down to 11 but I think I'd better get the list or I'll not get the rest of my Xmas shopping done
Holding breath for ONE
MA 7 please?
ma7...not a boy, but a ma* and french water
ma7 a guy and a flat hill or tablelands are a pla****
okay, ONE!
boy grown up + cross + 2nd, 3rd, and 5th vowels
and ZERO!!!!!
rumple,,,i just started , and that clue for the er was awesome, thanks,,
thanks lynxxx and phaeton!
and rumple :*grin*
Congrats Stid !!!
Wooot Stid
wtg stid!!
your welcome, but lynxx was better, i left out a letter :)
okay, back now....someone wanted a mid-nap visit :)
isn't that a sort of cloak?
Congrats Stidmama@)#(#@#$%^&*()_#$%^&*()_ Fireworks for you
and hooray for stid!
di5?
{{{kristin}}} I saw you online last night, but couldn't log in in time to say hello!
di 5 is a chemical with "two"
hey stid...yep...I here and there...sometimes I chat, other times I'm all business (ie frantically finding words)
how's the kiddo doing, kristin? is he excited about his first Christmas?
stidmama? Chemical? With twins?
sort of phaeton, it's like the tr6, which is triplets. LOL di + vowel-consonant-same vowel
he is great stid (other than a few sleep issues we are working on). As far as Christmas...isn't this one mostly just for the grandparents? Give him a Christmas bow and he'll be as happy as a clam...we're definitely excited nonetheless :)
so glad to hear. And sleep issues seem common at the moment among young ones...
thanks, stid, for clearing that up.
did it really help? wasn't sure how to clue it without spelling...
yes, we're doing fine all things considered. I have friends who are struggling much more than I. I really do think it was a wee bit easier for my mama for example, because she could put me to sleep on my tummy (although I hear I was a pill even still).
stid, yes i found it with a little fiddling around. :)
oh, I don't know that sleeping position affects "sleep" all that much LOL babies will sleep if they are tired, no matter what peculiar position they find themselves in. Really.
how about ea5?
okay, I am afraid I have to head out for a while. Back late tonight if I can. Kristin, have a lovely holiday if I don't see you again before. {{hugs to all}}} *poof*
bye stid. We will indeed have a fine one! Same to you!
good afternoon, back again to finish. I feel like it is taking longer to finish this puzzle than the 300 word.
ea5-one we have finished our dinner, we have all ea***
ea 5 past tense of consumed
hey bookwomen
thanks , kristi, got it just before the clue came through, need to get my brain in gear
bye stid
thats fireworks for me finally!
well done lillian!
Congrats, lilliann
congrats lilliann
have to go and do emails and finish wrapping, see you all tomorrow hopefully.take care all and ty.
bye lilliann
Yah lili and hi book
Clue for en6?
enjoy lilliann
and early congrats for all who finish and even those who dont.nite.{poof}
congrats lil
Krista the little one has gotten so big
nm, found it
yep...and this is an old picture from late Oct. I need to log in on a different computer and update it...he is huge though! :)
Wow. He really has sprung up
oh yes, this from the baby who had trouble gaining weight for the first month...go figure
clue for the Ma 7 i didn't get the clue nor can i find it
lady...will insurance help cover any of your losses btw?
Krista he's probably going to eat you out of house and home.
ma7...not a boy, and the pla**** in the plains is beautiflu
ma7-a grown up boy+ a flat part of land is called a pla****
oh yes, I have no doubt!
No we don't have insurance. Flood can be seen as act of god plus clothes are not that easy to value. books neither.
Thanks for the ma
OH im such a dill i was looking up not down at that Ma 7
that is what aI was afraid of lady but I was hoping maybe things were different in AUS...same thing would likely apply here in the US
I don't have spare money. I get $500 a fortnight to live on. I am lucky i don't pay a lot of rent as i share
again, so sorry to hear of all your troubles
Its just stuff. Yes its upsetting but i didn't lose my grandmothers photos. Its stuff not people. Yes it sh??s me but also its my fault for not clearing up storage
our house is very old and our basement takes in water each year no matter what we do. It is sad but everything we have down there, we keep up off the floor (even washer and drier) and then also in plastic storage bins. You're right though...we are forced to keep things tidy or risk them being ruined.
"Have some tea...will babble some" - hi all !
hi ho montreal
HI mont
hi kristine, herin - snowbanks here reaching 10 feet in places...
kristin!
hi all

hi there feather and crpw !
holy crow montreal! that is a lot of snow
heya feather :) how goes it?
My problem was my house merged into this one. I didn't have room for my stuff in the house. Funny was the spatula floating down the drive
hey crpw
Feather my dear and hi mont
Mont have your snow im not shoveling it today

8 DOZEN??? No eating the cookie dough feather youll get sick with that much cooking
ooh...cookies...sounds grreat! I'm so jealous of close-by relatives for a mom's day off :) (my closest are Portland, OR-3+ hours)
ok, like i said, can't stay! bbl!
Mont let it snow :)
ah see montreal...that type of temp. climb is what led to all our flooding here in the NW last month
have a great time feather...I'm glad you said hello.
that's what i'm afraid of kristine...
I have so much to do today but my couch is my friend. I guess i shouldn't have drunk that gin

HI Babble. I had to share as that is similar to the cat and my turkey sandwich this week, sly nom nom nom, look nom nom nom
Bye book
How is Zack doing these days, Kristin?
heya BR...he is great-here sitting beside me b/c not so much interested in the nap-thing today I guess.
Kris how old is he now?
he will be 5 months next week (on Christmas actually)
Yeah for Zach
Oh wow I cant believe its been that long. Yah
yeah for 5 months right? (not the invading mom's hour or so of "alone" time) :)
ok first batch is in the oven!
has Zach reached a "normal" weight kristine ?
1 down, 7 to go :)
hello?
montreal-only if 18 pounds is "normal" for a 5 month old! But to answer your question, yes...he resolved his weight issues very well in the first month or so and is now very, very large for his age...go figure. Thnaks for remembering though-it was quite a struggle for a bit
hello lady:)
Sorry i thought i crashed. I cant get the 7 enable is not being nice
Feather what flavour cookies?
i guess he might have overcompensated a tad kristin...
yesiree montreal
1 of my many brothers kristine was born premature...but got to be the heaviest of us all...
they're called snowball chocolate chips....mini chips, in a little round drop cookie, with powdered sugar on top
so strange how that ends up
*raises hands for cookies*
Hello, Lucien, Lady, kristinc, and all else! :-)
i'm not sitting here consistently....just keep checking as i fly around the house. getting the next batch ready, sorting gifts, getting recycling out, etc.
nature and balance i guess... another mystery...
heya scarlet
bonjour ((scarlet))) !
Hi, there, kris. I guess I came in on Luc's philosophical meanderings... LOL...{{{Luc}}}
A Course in Miracles: St Augustine once said, "Love and do what you will." The idea of judgement is very important. Every thing we do in this world is either an expression of Love or a call for Love.
Speaking of which, BR-r... hello.
yes scarlet... i sometimes wax philosophically as i'm not one to wax my car...
Or waxing your snow shovel!! ;-)
Hello, Scarlet
I am such a mum. My b.f is going out tonight and he is going out with work. I rang him and told him that i will put $50 in his laptop in case his boss doesn't pay for a cab home
HI Scarlet
lol....
Feather i wish i could be at you house for that cooking of cookies that would smell great
BR-r... have you read the biography of Augustin? He came to grace through much pain and free living... but his mother never gave up on him...
OH clue for the LA 8 please
add TV 2-letter program to prev la6
I dont think i have that la 6
No, that quote was for Kristin ... the attribution to the one she has in her biography
la + between youth and adulthood
Never mind i found it hit me with a fish
will salmon do herin ?
add hospital "urgency" room for the la8
No hitting, Lady. How about a tunafish sandwich?
On a plate smoked would be nice :P a frozen on not so
wonder if country joe and the fish would approve?
Only if someone took that scandalous hat from his head...
Oh Bab thats annoying im going to have that song stuck in my head now
"smoked salmon on a plate" it is then ... "handing plate to herin)
Ever the gentleman, Lucien!
well scarlet, i have my fedora...
Thanks mont.
And no doubt, removing it in a sweeping gesture to the Lady...
:)
something's happening here, what it is ....
'xactly scarlet !! how did you know ??
BR, are you all right?
BR what?
LOL, Luc... I can always give a good guess...
17 words le 4/7...
Scarlet id eat the tuna samich to
BR... please say something... you have me worried...
well, all right is quite relative
i simply can't believe that le6 word...
le4-not right but, le**
ok don't ahve it
Thank you.
that was the start of a buffalo springfield song
oh duh...I get it...I thought at first you were asking for a clue...
I guess I'm the one who needs a clue! :)
i remember BR...
what it is ain't exactly clear
no kristin...but thank you anyway !
I wondered... I can hear the music, but you might have been in real trouble there for a spate of time...
excellent dorens !!
I did a massive project in high school on the anti Viet Nam war movement
there's a man with a gun over there
Dorens, you're right on key! Hi! :-)
i remember the very first time i heard that... it spoke to me "telling me I've got to beware"
a call to paranoia
Hi Dorens
it's the PB for herin...
hi herinfer
Lady, while you were doing your report, many of us were writing letters to Washington, D.C. or demonstrating in the streets... I was a writer, not a social activist...
58300 crosses confirm the paranoia
it does indeed BR...
hey scarlet, she wasn't even born when we were doing that (i think)
Brings to mind the Dead's Ohio...
I got to look at some of the files at the state library. Um i am 30 high school was year 11/12 was 1994/5
Prob'ly not, Dorens... it was a true revolution!
four dead in ohio
Yep, BR... bone-chilling...
right, herinfer.. and my first march was in 1964
where have all the flowers gone...
No i wasn't born then but im still a bit of a hippy now
scratch that lot of a hippy
it's all good
long time passing...
We old hippie-types weren't all smelly, stupid, high and brain-dead... many of us had deep consciences...
when will they ever learn ( and we sure didn't, did we?)
nope nope nope
Never saw in my mind hippys like that more like 'free thinkers and speakers'
And, (tearfully) probably never will... mankind is comprised of warring tribes and it will be so until the end of time...
will never forget how I felt getting on that plane
Were you treated badly when you arrived home, BR? My friends were spat upon and called "Baby killers."
not water but fi
My cousin never did arrive home, alive, at least.
Babble. I was and still am not against anyone that went to or had to go to war. It makes me sad
Neither did many of my compatriots, Dorens... body bags and bleeding flags...
I have some of that ... but what really got me was how some got so screwed-up over there they opted for another tour to ensure drug availability
had
I saw much of that, too, BR... even to the extent of packing body cavities with heroin...
Wow Babble. When we were learning about the Viet Nam war we had both sides. We had to vets in. Their stories were oppisites
dear mom and dad you son/daughter died of an overdose defending our country agrainst communism in SE Asia
that was my cousin... second tour.... and I'm sure it was for drugs. I was so angry at him, and told him so before he left. then felt guilty
I still get a nervous eye from family members when they remind others that my favorite movie of all time is Apocalypse Now... it caught the smell of death...
sorry I have to run out now..... could be an interesting conversation, but I'm late for a class......see you later
Later, Dorens. ((Hugs))
cya dorens
later dorens !
later Dorens
pink are u on
hi everyone
Hi Cool
well, now i know that biach is not a word.

Hi everybody
hi there button !
HI button
heya buttonman!
Does anyone have a clue for the ma 7...it is my last one of the 7's....if you do, make it simple please
they are seven and four, but turning five in Jan.
french for overcoat ma7
Hi Herin, Kris, and Mon
I don't know any french except a few cajun friends in my hometown
ok - ma7 = male + not coffee but *** + last vowel
great clue!
great clue ty mont!!
tytyty "taking a bow with a sweeping gesture with my fedora..."
thanks Mont...by the way, I was rasied in an area of the Texas and Louisiana border with a number of cajun french who I understand orginally came from Quebec
Got the ma 7
how many words are there today? i've only got 35 and am slowing down!!
put a "port" in front of the ma 7 and you have: noun: a large travelling bag made of stiff leather noun: a new word formed by joining two others and combining their meanings
good Button !- - actually though, the cajun french from Louisiana came from a region of New-Brunswick called Acadia - they wer acadian - and cajun is a deformation of that word,,,
122 words
thanks!
well done BR !!
fireworks !!
congrats montreal
good job!
congrats, Lucien
tytyty - sorry to have to go so soon after finishing, but i have to - have a good evening all !

lillllllllll u leaving
i don't rap, i thought you had to be black to do that unless your name is eminem
bye{poof}
who the heck is leaving
on man, do I have to go, Joanne?
wasn't an agreement mom...more like an order he didn't follow
just taking last pizza's out of oven
lol
lol Nut. He just loves you to pieces
Lilliann is leaving and I am staying
well, maybe this year i'll get lucky and he won't shoot me christmas eve
How long have you been married, Nut?
Why would he shoot you?
married six years, he shot me two christmases ago...
with a pellet gun
Oh my gosh.
hurt like an sob...i dang near widowed myself after that
that is terrible
I bet it did. I would imagine he felt terrible
not so much...he didn't think i'd feel it through my jeans
and yeah...he felt like a piece of sh*t
oh dear
i could have got all kinds of things out of it if i wasn't such a nice person
I can only imagine
lol Nut and you are such a nice person
i'm too good for my own good
nothing wrong with that
maybe not...maybe so
it can come back and bite you sometimes
but then so can being nasty
being nice?
i wanna be naughty instead
of course, you are not capable of being nasty
yes, being nice can bite you big time
naughty maybe, nasty never
ya think so do ya mom? *bwa ha ha ha*
me thinks me don't know her very well
will you have some extra time off for Christmas?
quite possibly so mom...lets just say, don't cross me the wrong way....you can safely cross me many ways, but the wrong way is dangerous.
:) Nut
omg ev who shot u??
lol joann, my husband!
oh was he mad at u ?? lmao
naw, he just suffers from temporary stupidity
unfortunately most cases of his temporary stupidity end up in nut injury
holy crap hope he don't suffer that often
just often enough to keep me checking over my shoulder
yes need eyes in the back of your head
the most memorable one for me besides the getting shot thing is the piece of firewood thrown directly into my fore head incident
oh geez Nut, what possessed him to do that
omg
u sound like a reality show over there
we were loading the cart....i was close cause i'm weaker, he was farther and decided to 'lob them over my head'
oh u knocked yourself out??
scenario: Person A is at Person B's house. Person A is there all day. Person B is out working all day. Person B comes home to find Person A asleep on the couch, though Person A then wakes up. Person A asks how Person B's day was, person B says kind of sucky, person A asks why, person B explains. person A sits down to rest a bit. after about ten minutes of silence, person A gets up and cooks dinner. speculate: what is the most likely nature of the relationship between Person A and Person B?
i blame hubby for most too lol
no wait that's wrong, the last two bits were supposed to say Person B.
ev???
hursh, i couldn't possibly follow that if i took notes
yes joann...i must have lept up to contact with the log...he couldn't make a mistake right?
i think they are siblings
Person B works all day while Person A was home and person B had to cook supper?
he just needs better aim to the cart Nut
yes mom, that is the gist.
sounds like person b is dumber
can't you just say I and they hursh????
so, the question is, what would you guess would be their relationship.
one vote for siblings
person B is the mother
evening all
i vote for people who need a better name
one vote for mother - child
no one is the boss
that's the idiot
husband and wife
Person A is husband, Person B is wife. My guess.
no one is the boss, or "no, one is the boss", joanne?
the other is a caring nurturing employee and excellent cook too
one vote for spouses.
lol Joanne
one vote for employer-employee
2 votes for spouse, me and Queen
oh yes, two votes.
lol hursh hi but sorry bringing that into what i think it should be
hey! count my vote pooper!
one vote for people with names
lol
you forgot to say 'bad' names
when did you specify bad names?
i would have thought manti would be plural for mantis...hmmmm
well if i didn't hursh, i think i implied it maybe definitely could be
-us usually plurals to -i
when i said they needed better names or some such thingish
-is usually plurals to -es
if it wasn't for asking how the day went i would say person A was a cat :P
manti would be cooler looking
one vote for pseudo-pet
so whats the answer?
Are we ever gonna get the answer to this hypothetical?
my cats asks how my day went, after he demands his dinner
ok all have a good nite see ya tomorrow byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
bye bye Joanne, pleasant dreams
the answer is, Person A and Person B are separated. Person B left Person A, and Person A wants to win Person B back.
ty mom u toooo
and no, that's not backwards.
thanks JOanne
i mean i didn't mess up the letters.
So person B wants to win back Person A
like dr nut said, hursh should just say 'i' and 'they'
no. the one who did nothing is the one who wants to get back together. the one who worked and cooked is the one he is trying to win back.
so in others words u want your husband back
gotcha
for some reason I cannot help but type chai every time, even though it never works
If Person A wants to win Person B back, I think he or she is going about it in the wrong way. Being more helpful would work better.
oh...ok, that's right....
still would have helped me if you'd just made up names, i don't have much of an imagination you see
so then, what is going on in person A's head???
ok nut, semi-ex-husband is visiting and i worked and he sat around my house and i came home and cooked. happy now?
Nut, person A's name is....jordalindyloo. person B is...Zimbobwe
so it sounds like the man is trying to win the woman back
thanks un, i'd need it retyped with the names though
I dunno, hold music? Not much going on I would say.
yes hursh, thanks!
i think semi-exhusband needs someone to explain to him the art of wooing a lady
probably he's a slouch in the sack too
AND WHY IS MY STINKING RIGHT KNEE TWITCHING FOR THREE DAYS STRAIGHT NOW....GARRRRRRRRR
Hursh, you should have gone out to dinner alone or ordered an individual pizza & let him fend for himself. :)
did you hit it on something, nut?
You shoulda thrown him out in the snow.
by the way, this happened two days in a row. waiting to see what happens tomorrow...
nope...i just twitch twitch twitches
oooh, i like uni's idea
Either that or demanded rent...
no no...the snow....
see, whether we stay apart or get back together, we're supposed to at least be friends, you know. so he visits. but, even, let's say you visit a friend... is that how you would act?
Demand rent after throwing him in snow? That satisfies the vengeful parts and the realistic parts. Freud would be proud...
It's hard for me to imagine, because it's sort of reversed here. My husband works all day & usually comes home & cooks. He likes to cook & I'm having some health problems so he wants to do it for me. He's a keeper! 27 years & counting.
see, i think i'm against the whole friends thing...how can there be friends
well i would need help with the throwing bit, he outweighs me by 80+ pounds...
if I was at someone's house semi-ex or not, and they have to work, I would ask if there was something I could for them while they were working
hursh - perhaps he is thinking - this is semi ex-wife's house and i am a guest - so i'm going to not get in the way?
If I am at someone else's house ALL day...I certainly do something to make up for my squandering in their space
we could be friends, nut, because there was never any passion to begin with, and friends is all we should ever have been.
or you could drop a hint and say there is whatever in the fridge, would you mind starting supper at 5:00
not ne - i stay out of the way - it's their house
RENNNNNER - i found THE gift today
{{Ren}} hello
the gift i sent you?
no, the one to send you
hey mom - thanks for the card
and rens telling the truth....she NEVER helps here
Maybe he should be thinking "this is semi ex's house...what on earth am i even doing here?" :)
you are so welcome Ren.
well mom, when he visited at thanksgiving, i asked him to start the meatloaf one evening since that takes awhile to bake. he seemed slightly reluctant, but he did it.
i stay outta the way -as much as possible
did you always do the cooking when you were together?
The point is, you shouldn't have to ask. He should volunteer!
i mean, you'd think ren would find a way to stay outta the way while loading the dishwasher or something, but noooooooooo
hursh - why is he visiting you? and does he know how to cook?
but ren, don't forget the whole thing about how he's supposedly trying to win me back...
This seems so dumb, but I can't get the ir4! I'm sure i've tried every combination...please somebody help
oh forgot that part - i think fedex came during that part of the story...do you want him back?
cancel that - got it! P
he is visiting ... to visit ... i had said early fall that i would be willing to try dating and see if we could work things out.
he knows how to cook, i did most of the cooking while we were together, but he worked more than i did then. actually the first two years i worked more but i still did most of the cooking... cause if i suggested he make supper he'd say he wasn't that hungry, and so, if i was hungry, i had to make it.
he didn't want the separation, correct?
correct mom. ren, that's what i'm supposed to be deciding.
Need a clue for the re4/7?
re + no **s ands or buts
new question, ma7 please
phone
thanks, hurshy
i'm sorry - i'm at a loss for words....are you comfortable being around him?...and is he reading your chat?
ma7 is french for... a cloak, i believe
he is not reading my chat, of course, i would not do such a thing!
so, it's not just me then, that has trouble understanding what is going on here?
isn't that ma6?
:) ok - we'll refrain from bonking him then!
i dunno, maybe there is a frenchish ma6 that i haven't got yet, but there is a 7 like i said.
evening all.
Fordy, it's also 7, ends with French for water.
evening Moonwoof
ah thank you queen :)
You're welcome, Fordy.
wow. i think I was the Only person who didn't understand the french water thing, last night...
I ended up clueing "sounds like eww" lol
it sounds more like "oh"
Some days it apparent to me how long I've lived in the US. Embarrassingly so.
It does, hursh. But people spelled it corretly when I said eww.
ah, lol
And mom, that's Still a dern fine tree. Doesnt look a day older than 9.
ok, the ma7 is a cloak, the ma6/21 is a wood piece, and the ma6/24 has to do with the bug
so but, if i could just ask one more time, cause i want to make sure i am not crazy - his behavior is hard to understand, right? that's not just me being weird?
No, Hursh, he's not acting like someone who wants to win you back. It is weird.
Hello, hurshy. Checked back in chat a bit. Not you being weird.
ir
it's not just you - my husband loves me so much, he will do anything to make me comfortable and happy
Uhm, not to butt in {{but I kinda can't help it}} hersh. Anyone who doesn't want a split usually acts disagreeably. I counselled battered women for 6 mos.
hurshy, I wouldn't put up with it, and if that's his way of winning you back, you are not the winner
LORI! Stop it
Ren, mine too. So it's hard to understand that, isn't it?
People Like getting "their own way". As a result they behave, well, poorly.
ok because often when we were married something would bug me and when i would mention it he would have all these things to say in his defense and i ended up always thinking my perceptions were just off-base, so it is good to have outside perspective.
yupper queen
Folks, my last is the Tr6/18. Apparently I am blind as a bat because I can't find it. Any help?
like di5/12, queen, but 3
it can be hard to see things that way, tho, ren, if you've never experienced it, before. And (no offense hursh) people with esteem issues rarely even Think they could ever get anything that "storybook".
i ove norma shear movies
Thanks, Hursh. And, one for the road, if you take him back, don't expect him to be any different. It seems like there is little respect there.
Actually, he's not likely to be differnt. Especially if he gets "his way" out of you, again.
normal beer movies?
Moonwoof, it is a fine looking tree. Thanks to my sons
well i do have self esteem issues. something scary happened to my sis this weekend and i was so startled. i expect bad things to happen to me, but not to her!
tr6.18 = an oldschool grecian ship.
no tail deer
You said, mom. =) Still makes you look so Thin...
no fail cheer
Hersh, that's silly. Bad things happen to Everyone. And we ALL deserve good things to balance it out.
i know it's silly, but i didn't even realize i thought that until i was startled, and then had to think about why i was startled
Hurshy, have you discussed your concerns with semi-ex?
It sounds like you're Very due for some good things. Start it off by dropping the useless dead Unhappy weight and start over.
mom - we have had numerous discussions on many issues
hursh, move to the other side of the country and see if he follows you
Well, at least you've gotten that far. Most people (including men) don't get that far. Knowing you need a change is a great place to start fresh.
I mean about what you expect from him while he is visiting
oh - now that's a great idea - hursh - go stay w/ your cousin in colorado
but i like my side of the country, nut! lol (uncle in colorado, not cousin.)
become a coloradian...
better yet, move to the other side of the world!!!
Ok. B+W is gonna make me nutty. brb
hursh - is he staying the nights? - how far does he live from you?
Hell, just start by moving somewhere and not Telling him.
he is staying the nights (on the pull-out). he lives a 3 hours drive from me.
i'm the one that grew up in new england and i won't be chased out of it, ha!
back after me bath me hearties
bye bye Nutty
passes Mr Bubbles to nut
arrrrr
does he have any family near - or are you his only family hursh?
nut needs more than mr bubbles...naybe scrubbing bubbles
Aw mom! you noticed. That's soooo sweeet. ty
his parents and bro are in the midwest, one sister in cali and one in england. my family is here.
O O o O o o o . .
I only need 4 more words and need help with the te's. Need first te6/18
but enough about my stuff! i just wanted to know if i was nuts or not. so that's that.
Am I that noticibly dirty? wwell... either way. I've missed Mr. Bubbles. I haven't bathed with him since I was but a wee seed.
la8 pls?
no not so you would notice, Moonwoof
phaeton, is it a rocky mountain... a four******?
mary, it's the same as la6/18 with an more ending
Oh good. I thought maybe I might not be able to be Subtle, anymore. That could be bad. Or something
mary, la8 is an extension of la6 before it
1st te6.18 = te4.4 just above it + emergency room
yep, that's the one, thankyou hurshy
ty all, got it
I don't have a la 6
la6 sounds like army potty, but w/o r
Oooo. Smallville's on. Gotta get in some visual aids.
bye Moonwoof
la6.18 = la4.4 + en
Cya soon. Good luck all.
thanks moonwoof and Hurshy
crudite was not found in the dictionary??????
i know it has an accent aigu but frere has a grave and it still counts!
does anyone have a clue for the second le6/18
there's only one... adj re: pre-easter season
Hurshy, good luck to you with whatever you decide
Done!!
thank you mom, she said forlornly
congrats Phaeton
got it, ty hurshy
hurshy, try replacing the first letter with a vowel
{{Hurshy}} it will be fine. Listen to your heart.
fireworks here..............
congrats 10's
oorlornly?
Thank you Mom
no, hurshy, the other word you said wasn't in the dictionary
you're welcome Phaeton
ohhh lol you mean er7 i have that! just been waiting for someone to ask a clue for it so i could say how ironic it was for a babbler not to be able to find it...
congrats 10s
oh...someone this morning was saying the same thing about that word.
mom- the man received his shot today...he now has mental numbness
was it atalante? :) lol
Well, thanks for all the clues. Much faster today than yesterday
I was going to ask about that earlier but got sidetracked. Mental numbness?
No, hurshy, haven't seen her in awhile
lol, 122 SHOULD be faster than 303!!
well it probably was someone british...
yup - mental numbness - he said he was feeling smooth
I hope it goes well Ren.
true, especially when lickety can not be accessed
what man is this who is feeling smoooooth?
babyface?
one of the boyz II men?
lol Ren.
must have been some shot
no hursh - mezzie my husband - he started in jections in his knee today
at 700 a shot - it must be!
good golly!
wow! Hope insurance is paying a good portion of it.
the driver who ran over him is paying for it - well we're paying and getting reimbursed by her insurance
some one ran over him?
he hath getted run over???? how much i miss when i work!
it was a year ago - he was riding his bike and a lady in a monster jeep ran over him
mmm that was before the job, i must have just forgot
you were in a bad spot a year ago Hursh.
oh geez, Ren that is terible
prob so hursh - it's one of those things you try not to think about!
could i have a clue for the el8 please?
yuppers mom- it sure changed our life
I can only imagine. It must have hurt him pretty bad
sorry Fordy, I don't have it
me neither but i'm lookin now that you said it!
it's my last word and i'd quite like to get to bed soon :P
best tell me how much points it is then

howdy doody y'all
howdy doooo dawg
RENNIE! NUTTY! HURSHY!
hi dawg
oh that reminds me - big hand for a little lady...the baker sez howdy do
anyone for the al6/24
10 dozen cookies: done!
wait - thanks banker
i could eat 10 dozen cookies
you still need to make at least 12 dozen more to catch up with me feather, lol
one who gives to the poor? AL6
*passes milk and cookies around*
oooh what kinda cookies, Feather?
why are you guys baking so many cookies?
we're doing a cookie exchange at school tomorrow. we get to swap dozens!
one who fives to the poorr... robin hood?
i haven't done a cookie swap in ages! those are so much fun
mini chip snowball cookies. they're little round chocolate chip cookies with mini chips, and powdered sugar on top. drier than regular chocolate chips, but yummy
oh those sound good
let me think, there were 5 dozen chocolate, 3 1/2 dozen each pb and no bake, that's 12, 3 dozen sugar, that makes 15...plus 2 dozen chewies, and 7 dozen gingersnaps... that's 24 dozens!!!
yummmm
it's weird...they're made out of margarine/butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and the chips. that's it.
gingersnaps
gingersnaps!!!! gimme!
and i shall probably make 3 dozen more sugar for christmas day. stop by for the snaps, i have plenty left :)
good grief! that;s a lot of cookie hursh! - i'll take the gingersnaps too dawg
might have to dig out a gingerbread recipe and make some tomorrow
ok, gotta go back to scrabble for a bit! but rest assured, i'll be here too.
i made a pirate ginger bread dude - used a candy cane for his sword
i made gingerbread a few weeks ago, it was yum-oh. there is a good low fat recipe in joy of cooking that uses applesauce
i have 4 dozen oatmeal raisin, 3 dozen choco chips, and about 5 pounds of truffles.
murdered by gingerbread pirates is good...
i have nothing
oh! my knee stopped twitching
nothing... nothing... if i don't... have... youuuuuuu
Nut, are you still here? I saw a pooping reindeer today, and thought of you!
nut maybe it was twitching in sympathy for rennie's husband.
nut - what happened to your knee?
did you know they make a pill that will make your poo shiny golden?
it's been twitching for three days ren
:) hursh, PB reference
why would you want shiny golden poo?
they say it increases your self worth dawg
yes - it's called albe now
more like the increase in what i flush!
it's a royal flush
i like it myself, i'd take a picture of that and send it to ratemypoo.com
rofl, Hurshy! good one!
there's another pill that costs about 170 and it pushes the fat from your body so you don;t absorb it - you;d think you'd eaten a truck load of cheetos
is that the alli thingy ren?
someday i'm gonna take alli and eat a bucket of kfc as a science experiment
that's what the alli stems from
sorry guys, still not figuring out al6,21. is my vocabulary really that limited? :-( any other clues would be great - thanks! it's my last word before fireworks.
al6/21 al* something you give the poor + lil ab***
woo hoo, got it! thanks so much!
don't do it evan! when you eat fat after taking it all hell breaks loose, if you get my meaning
i used to sell a similar product when it was rx only
i'm gonna have a colostomy bag hooked up pk,...it's all in the name of science, then i'll record it and put it on youtube
nutters - you will need to stay very near a bathroom - casue you can;t stop it sonce it decides to leave your body - maybe osme depends would be a good idea as well
ne6, 18 anyone
depends would be a great idea!
hey - i've got soem colostomy bags if you want me to send them to you
tidy up, nana
how long does it take it to go away???? - i was thinking just a day or two, you know, for sh*ts and giggles
eeek! I walked in on another poo conversation!
it depends how much you eat
hi Krista!
and your own natural motility
poo poo poo poo
more than a couple of days
What's up, Dawg
bet if i get on the eliptical it will all be over in half an hour
not much, Krista, how about you?
lol nut
Nut, it would be all over the eliptical!
i'd hose if off dawg
there may also be accompanying pain in the gastrointestinal area
When I hear colostomy I always think of that - probably urban legend - about the 7-11 worker thinking a customer had a concealed gun, but it was a colostomy bag and he ripped it out
might want to move the eliptical outside...easier to hose off.
i heard a story recently about a failed colostomy reversal
Well, we just got home from taking the kids to a drive-thru Xmas light thingy an hour away.
poor guy ended up pooing out of his pee-er and peeing out of his poo-er
better yet, use the one at the gym
egads
YIKES! *makes note to self, never go to 7-11 if wearing colostomy bag*
LOL! Good tip, isn't it!
Did everyone have fun, Krista?
my mom had a hole in her tummy and they tried to put a colostomy bag over it to catch the tinkle stuff - it wouldn;t stay on so i filled the hole full of liquid bandage
did it work, rennie?
i like liquid bandage, but i hated it when i was a kid cause it burned....that and i really wanted the smurfs bandages
Yes! It was really fun. It was throughout an entire state park. It took at least 45 min. to drive through it. Thanks for asking.
yup - it worked
that sounds like a fun time.
Hope we are talking a small hole!
nut - i hate to tell you this - that was super glue i was using on you
it was a small hole
Do u two really live near each other? You met here, though, right?
super glue works! unless it's on a part of your body that needs to bend and stretch...like a finger joint. then it doesn't hold worth beans
i live in nut's attic w/ orlando
ren...i know, that's why i used it to stick metal wool to your bras
never expected beans to hold much
Hi BR!
Hola, BR
re518,,,,
hey rab
Ok, Ren. :p
hello, peoples
hi
Hubz tried to remove his finger along with some bushes, and the ER doc tried to fix him up with super glue...expensive super glue that didn't work!
How are you, Nana??
good ty,,
nana, re + not old
Oweee...did they suture then, I hope?
i have been here for a bit,,,but trying so hard to finish
nope, i just wrapped his finger up and put a splint on it to keep him from bending it.
I have 42 left -- hi all -- is everyone finished with the poo talk?
the 5 18,,,
Good luck - how many left?
is re not old
Hi Jilli!
Bet u wish you had done that to begin with.
Hi Jilli!
Hi Nana
or re not used
hi penny
are u sick of the snow
Every town we've lived in, we've gotten to know the ER people quite well. Hubz is a putz and a klutz.
Nut - did that attachment ever come through?
how did i not see that,,,thanks for the clue
brb, need some tea.
you mean where you were hanging christmas lights krista?
penny did u get a lot of snow
Yes, I am, I don't think they predicted todays snow
Sounds like my former neighbor. He was an amateur woodworker. By the time he died, I think he had three fingers left. He got to the point he would just throw them out and not go to the ER! Isn't that gross?!
i shoveled the driveway for 2 1/2 hours today and its still a mess
i think they messed up on accumulation
wiw
Hi everyone. What a busy day it's been! The final grocery shopping before Christmas is now done, the house decorations are now all completed (and 2 sets of outdoor lights that worked fine yesterday are playing up today). All that's left to do tomorrow is a good dust and polish. But, before that, I'm going to relax with a glass of chilled white wine and my Babble friends. Got 26 words left to find.
fortunately, we had someone plow
Yes, that's the one, Nut. :)
darm snow can be a nuisance when you havta shovel it out of your hammock just to take a little snooze
LOL, Babrab! I now have a mental image of that.
well i was suppose to wait for the plow but while hubby was out with brother picking up holiday goodies, i thought i would catch some fresh air and push that snow around,,never thinking it wasnt ending
anyone have ch4 6 , the last one
type of pet
more clues, less chit chat. lol how are you all? everyone ready for the holiday?
Jac, that's what I want to be able to say tomorrow. Way to go! Someone needs to appreciate all we do. :)

The kids are waiting for me to watch a Simpsons xmas video. Just wanted to say hey to everyone. See you over the weekend.

too bad we don't live closer, krista, sounds like we could get into some trouble. =)
ch 4 == country in africa
why isn't chai a word?
or what won George Bush the election...
I bet we could, at that! Tee hee!
i dont need that one,,i need ch6/7
you keep changing it
who me, sorry
question for whoever is watching football (or who is a football expert): WHY does the quarterback have a green dot on the back of his helmet???
Night folks. Hurshy..Scrabulous. **poof**
i was trying to give penny a clue
night Krista
nana, there isn
t a ch6/7
ch 6 -- country in africa and beatles ticket to **de
only quarterbacks are allowed to have a helmet with a microphone in it. the green dot identifies it as such.
it indicates that the helmet has a radio communication device in it, lilmonkey, to communicate with the coaches. only one allowed per team.
oh, i got beat.
night krista
ch 7 -- more burnt
you a fan, hursh
THANK YOU eieos and hurshy, I have been wondering that for the whole season! :)
only a little. my semi-ex-husband is visiting me and i asked him.
I need ch4/6

penny the first one or the last one
ch + corn state *ow*
there are 2 4/6
hawkeye state
ch4/6 C*** Pet
I'm still not geting the last one, nana
it rhymes with mamma m**!
did u ever see those pets they sell in the store that grow plants out of their holes
ch + two vowels
Or the middle part of the late Mr. Pavarotti's first name.
thankx hurshy, that did it
C** a Pet, the thing that grows a plant out of its head
being a "musical person"
sounds like the ending of my name penny
i can't believe i still have 98 words left
then add the first vowel
Or 'It's Christmas - be of good ch**r!'
anyone have an 5/10, last one
does the ad6,30 build off the ad4,5???
penny did u see that last clue about my name
nut - the biggie fat blocker is xenical
yes, thanks nana, O got it
*looks back into the chog*, what's she calling me?
penny - it rhymes with the season running up to Christmas - you have a calendar with doors that open..
te/5/10
sorry - i had to do some it work on the man;s puter
xenical is the biggie fat blocker - alli is about 1/4 or 1/3 the strength
oh....well, i dunno...i mean, you're talking more than just skidmarks now
haven't started the te's yet Nana
yuppers - more like a day at the drag races
did u get the ch clue
Jac, sorry I'm not getting it
ad 6 -- a + what the wind makes of snow
TY babblerabble :)

oh dear a pitt player just hurt his knee, but as result my player got in game (it is overtime)

i cant keep up with the chat, lol,,,
I know its really multi-tasking!
penny - you have an ad**** (stars spell a word meaning an opening for air or whatever to escape from) calendar at Christmas. an5 rhymes with that word.
an 5 == at the payment made to a landlord: r***
add
babble , I have that one
I need the last, an5/10
an 5 --- what sherlock says to watson, ***mentary my dear watson
someone in this house has to many computers on
My Other Half (Paul) finished work until the New Year yesterday. When I told my son P was finishing 2 days before him, because he had some holiday to use up, my son called him 'a child of unmarried parents' (only he didn't use all those words. LOL
Son finishes work on Friday.
me me me!
I also have that one
an 5 -- add wood comees from a ***e
the last one of licketys clues
he called him a son of a bachelor mistress?
It began with a 'b', ren...
thanks rab
thax, babble , that did it
I'm a little slow at this, lol
just enjoy
i'm slow - i know - but even so...
the an 5-10 the last one
It was a single word, ren, not son of a female canine. LOL
rhymes with pantry
thanks
hahahahahahaa mistress - do you guys have plans?
di 5/12 anyone?
do you have indoor plumbing in that outhouse, renfield?
fe5-18

di 5 -- add cowboy g*** autry
hahahahah rab! did you see that picture of the outhouse?
fe 5/18 is stinky
yes
we inherited it w/ the beach house
thx babble
Yes, ren. Christmas ay is just me, P and my Mum (my kids will be with their Dad and his new family). Boxing Day, however, is a completely different kettle of fish - 9 for dinner that day! Me, P, my son, my daughter, my Mum, P's parents, daughter's b/f, P's daughter. At New Year, when son's g/f is over here from The Netherlands there'll be another big dinner gathering.
*Day, not ay. LOL
fe 5 ---add low and high or neap are ***es
Oh, and on Boxing Day, daughter's b/f's Mum (who works for my ex-hubby) might also be in the mix, making it 10 at table.
we received a roasted turkey from neiman marcus - so we'll be munching on garlic roasted turkey for a few days
what are you cooking mistress?
We seem to have received huge amounts of alcohol from all over the place! We'd better get all that cooking organised before we lay into it!
I am cooking dinty moore and catsup
fe stinky,,,has me stumped
Turkey (which we pick up from the butcher tomorrow), Ren + beef. We'll do the meats the night before and serve them cold. (More flavour that way and less work on the day.)
why ketchup rab?
nana - In UK we spell that fe stinky word foe***.
i'm looking for scrabble partners...anyone up for it?
fe + first 3 letters of sea movement.
is the er7,36 a "normal" word?
Feather - not right now. Still have 15 words left to find, including that elusive al6.21.
cause I don't have vegemite
ah ha - roast then serve cold - thanks for the food tip of the day mistress
thanks,,,would never have guessed that
y/w, nana.
er 7 means learned
y/w, ren.
i think this turkey will be great served cold - maybe w/ some sharp cheddar?
or e + barbaric manners: ***e and a low fat beer l***
Hi
Roast veggies, ren, with various fresh made sauces and stuffing.
Hi, Herin.
got it, thanks :)
hello all
Hi Jac long time
Hi to
Hey, John Lennon tried to give the cooking tip about cold turkey. *grins*
Hi TO and monkey and BabRab again
Hi, TO.

Hi, all...

thanks again,,,
Wow we are having more storms

If i run off we have lost power
wow its night here
it's night here as well herin
its freggin 147pm massive storms
need the te5, 10
When I stand up to complain, am I repining?
second one
this movie has a one legged monster...a guy is using a toilet plungerw/ paint and making it walk around...this is almost as good as plan 9
think the garage is flooded again. SIGH
Answer: yes To be discontented is to repine. The word derives the verb pine, yearn, with the re acting as an intensive prefix, similar to repent.
I would say, yes BR. And probably repunning.
male
I'm always amazed that 'retee' isn't a word, maybe it is but hypenated? Golfer retee all the time!
<-------- not a jock. Isn't that called "teeing up"?
HI moon and goldies
Evening lady
if ye be repining rab..don't be mistaken for a pine and end up as board....or a fence...or a deck
te 5 -- add honeymoon falls: ***agra
wasn;t dinty moore a lumber jack?
Babblewood. Sounds like a nice little suburb...
I stick to my hammock
I thought she was married to Bruce WIllis...lol
thank you babble
Bable you hammock needs a raft here
ok - is this a cooking class? aren;t ham hocks used in the south to cook with beans?
hahahah ru
yeah dinty is clayton's lumberjack cousin
and what is his horse's name?
that's bacon, ren. I think we just roast the hocks. Or put 'em on pizza, like anything else.
and he makes one helluva good stew, too
silver
smoked ham hocks go with beans
dinty's horse not clayton
could have been meatloaf
I thought that was the Lone Rangers horse's name
hey owl!!!!
Man what is it with this chat and food you make me hungry
hi everyone
hmmm. I've only ever had bacon and pig fat in beans...
how
evening saphyr
meatloaf looks like a horse
Hi Saphyre
hi sap
Yeah, but meatloaf had a heck of a voice.
owl - that;s what started this - rab said he was having dinty moore stew for christmas dinner
i think he looks like a wildebeest
Hello, babblers - I'm starting late again tonight, so I don't think I can finish, but can I have a clue for al 6,21
If I ate beans, i would say Guinness goes with them...
you would need some sort of bread for xmas dinner. Guiness counts, by me.
dinty moore ahas never made a good enough movie for pork and beans
black beans and negro modelo beer..um
Good lock jbv.
Guinness=liquid bread, moon!
i love loxs
like I said. =)
hamhocks, beans, and a savoy cabbage, delish
AYE
bueno
yarr
I like black beans, but not the so-called baked beans. The latter are sweet and icky. And, while I eat fish, i don't eat pork or beef or poultry
I might not know much about cooking, but I know the liqours pretty well.
to loxs that is not ham hocks
with a baked cornmean pizza,,,mmmmmmmmmm
LOLOL, moon!
ham hocks and black eyed peas - traditional southern new yesrs dish
Vegquriam Pam
cornbread
sorry
I'm quitting at 80 have fun all
hmmmthat sounds good to
TO
cornbread and butter milk
nite penny
use navy beans,,,,not blackeyed
nite all
night penny did u finish
al 6, 21 , anyone?
nyquil penny
thinly sliced potato gratin with smoked bacon and cheddar cheese and cream sauce....
i have 4 more to go
stop it. i have already begu nto dorwn today's sorrw in food. babble is my antidote for mindless eating
tr6/18 please? just - please not asterisks. i seem to be too stupid to get those clues.
they are good with lamb chops too TO
i et guacamole and chips for din din
sorry J, I figured bab was on it. al6.21 = one that distributes charity
oh, ok. only tasted lamb once. i don't cook it.
THANK YOU FOR THAT, MOON! That word was driving me to distraction.
think "al** for the poor" and a bell ringing...
we lost rab in the dinty moore shuffle
Ah lol
I shoulda guessed. This IS a lotta hungry talk
i had a big bowl of spaghett - comfort food. oh - and a slice of pizza as an appetizer
yw Jac
and 2 skinny cows yum yum
tr**d and true..first part of Hawaiian goose
is the tr 6
doh i missed the goose
ren - according to my daughter those skinny cow ices make you go to the toilet frequently and violently.
i'd need a chubby cow. it was that bad of a day.
There's an ingredient in them, I forget what now, that makes that happen.
oh...that makes sense
So sorry, TO...
is that where low fat milk comes from?
te6/18
ty for that clue. that word was very twisty
tr6.18 = a chemical compound that sounds like a grecian ship
right o ru
pprobably atificial sweetener - sorbitol or mannitol
Gosh i miss real milk cant drink it anymore
te6.18 is a number + 3 vowels
maybe the maltitol in them nistress
what does that make non fat one of those wooded painted cows?
uh oh am i infecting the entire log with terrible typing-itis?
could be TO
Well, not here TO. I'm just a clutz.
a yard decoration ru?
they are soooooo tacky worse than flamingos
i'm already infected owl - and i hear there is no vaccine for the typo disease
ok how about this one. What do you call a Yard stick in the metric system? No there is no answer
a decoy ruru?
I have typoid fever
A 3 foot 3 inches stick?
a meter?
the new salem holsteins had a good team a couple years ago
for cow hunters?
like a big bovine hunting decoy.
Right
stop it i want to remain miserable. don't try to make me laugh....
TO--why the misery? (())
my keyboard is finger sticking good i;ve dropped so many popcicles on it
Svelte cow decoys pull in only the best and most prime of beef.
LOLOLOLOLOL
Maybe she's got stiches and it hurts to laugh, pam? Or maybe she's got her 'BAH HUMBUG!' hat on?
Oh. Sorry TO. Hadnt realised. I'll lurk and let you STEW.
we're back to rab's dinty moore stew again
I have a nice new, fag ash and food residue keyboard, courtesy of my son.
stop it STOP IT I CANNOT LAUGH MY RIBS HURT
I like full circles. It makes me feel Karmic.
meant to say free of both of those residues.
can you imagine growing up with a first name like :Dinty"
excuse ME, jacs?!
{{{Will pause for scratching}}}
What, TO? And why do your ribs hurt?
/\,,,/\ <-----------if you do it right there.
you need flea control moon?
Yes ruru. I can. I'm a 5 foot tall girl my parents named Slugger. If I'd been a boy, I'm Certain it would have been Sue.
wtf
moon, i cant seem to get that clue u gave for te 6, 18,,the last one,,,it sounded so easy, maybe its too late, lol,,and i cant see it
Absolutly ruru. Typing is hard when your tongue lolls
where did nut go?
latin ending to the 5/10
lol, jac--ribs-a-hurtin', TO?
Now that babbles back he can prolly do it better. I'm still new.
Does anyone remember that old 70s series, 'Soap'? Sometimes, this chatlog reminds me of that.
but I said it was a number + 3 vowels
In 1913, George McManus, a cartoonist for The New York American, created a comic strip called ''Bringing Up Father,'' which satirized the struggles of Jiggs and Maggie, a working-class Irish couple thrust by sudden wealth into the world of New York's pampered elite. Jiggs, who longs for his previous life, returns often to the tavern owned by his old pal, Dinty Moore. ''Bringing Up Father'' was an instant and enduring hit. It became a daily feature in 1916.
a duck <')____
ILOVED "Soap," Jac

Soap was GREAT

*****FIREWORKS******

Maybe that's why I'm seeing gnomes. Sprite must've cursed me or something. Can we start blaming Sprite when Mitch isn't here?
yay monkey !!!!
Congrats
I was drunk last night.
*hands the monk a banana*
i'm not drunk
does anyone (drunk or sober) need a clue???
YAH LILI

Well. She ANNOUNCED it. Oh yeah. Her typing sucked worse than yours, too.

gud klue oow

perhaps some valium would take the edge off
I'm working on la 8,40 - any help is appreciated
valium and Guiness now there ya go... lol
got it thanks anyway
xanex.....i love those x drugs
I'm serious TO. I take doctor's notes. I'd hate for you to bust a stitch.

no une - she had a mooning GNOME. now she has a mooning ELF. very festive for the holidays and all
That's the second time I've seen that one here today... Haz being upset by Lil's icon. I must say that does surprise me. I need to read back on the log after I've done the grid and I may well ring Haz later.
ooohhhh, LOL!!!
whose icon upset Haz ??? Are you talking about me?
Its an icon its not offensive just cheeky
NO lilliana
I wouldn't have thought that of Haz..
no buns about it
No, not you, lilmonkey.
praise I could see being upset. He's well. religious, I guess. but haz? I'm surprised.
here's a whole ALPHABET of mooning elves!! http://tinyurl.com/25do8p

lickety, im'm on version 9!
ok peeps, see you anon.
I'm going to go baack to check the chatlog now about all this Haz being offended by a bare-arsed gnome. Doing so will eventually freeze my browser and shut it down. I may or may not return. So, I wish you all happy Babbling until my return, whenever that may be.

ping - are you trying to get me in trouble?
This is pretty sweet so far.
thank you!
jacs, look at about 1030 AM
why Jac?
thanks, shannon and moon - i just emailed him!
yes, ren, i LIVE to get people like you in trouble - it's my mission
It was around 11 am central standard if that helps, Jac
np, ping. And why do I believe that in my soul from a bunny that looks like that??
luckily it's a pretty doable mission
Ping... Your new mission, should you decide to accept it...
it's great to be a bunny
today i got carded trying to buy cough syrup
Is to annhialate all telemarketers. if you accept this mission, dr. god and babble will disavow your existance.
Heck. I card ALL bunnies, just cause.
LOL - someone's gotta do it
cute and fuzzy bunnies. HAH
i love ralph in his bunny suit
I thought so, too. So since you seemed to be on a Fruitless mission, I thought you should see the mission classifieds.
ralph the cute and fuzy bunny? ALLmost more believeable.
but just as good a cover as any.
Archives are taking too long to load, infact, I got prgram not responding message. Will check back on it later. Off to bed now. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Happy Babbling, all!
nite Jac. sweet z's
sorry everyone, back now
wb =)
v12 is only slightly different from v11 - haven't sent the email yet
I don't know why mine won't open all of a sudden
ping is still on 9.
Version 12 Updates : 1) It now remembers the position and size of the whole application (for startup), not just the internals. 2) Fixed bug where you couldn't log off Babble. 3) Better management of the buttons at the top - on active if you can use them. 4) Added easier way to turn on/off the Thin Box option for Lickety Add. 5) You can easily navigate other sites in the Main Babble window now.
i may still be using 9 - is that possible, lickety?
old versions still work fine - just dont have the updates
send me an email if you are desperate for it - otherwise wait till I create 13 and send the email.
hello
Other nice side note I forgot, is that it's faster than the browser.
No matter how many times I click on the icon, it won't open.
evening pom.
i sent you an email - but no hurry - if you're busy
Fireworks!!
congrats doxy
wtg doxy
ping - I think I already replied ;-)
I read somewhere that if you can see 3 whites of an eye someone is loco. Whatcha think Ping?
you did - got it - thanks sooooo much, lickety!
Shannon - send me a screen shot maybe? an email with more detail of what happens?
if in doubt reboot
Or check your zip program.
it's working for me, lickety - thanks!
Thank you Lickety. This one worked
niters mistress
{{{looks around}}}
what are you looking for, moon?
i think she's looking for the mistress
Of course. They lurk no matter what kinda heels ya catch em in.
otherwise. G'nite. =)
ye be leaving us alone in this big ol' chog moon?
leaving, moon?
Nope. Figured you were. unless you have a snuffalupagus??
that you type to.
i was saying giid niter to mistress jacula
Aha. Ok. Better late, etc.
yup yup yup
did you finish, moon?
brb gotta give my kit kats some din din
i was trying to find something suitable to "wear" tonight.
Oh yeah.. right before sprite's drunk cam in this morning.
i missed that
sprite? drunk???
"sacrifice to a deity" was yesterdays icon theme. Okay, actually, it was hebrew and I can't exactly remember the holiday's name. (sorry uncle paul)
no, Jac. the one you were going to go look for.
I need to give her a hug. Christmas is a really too crowded experience out there.
Tho, That would prolly be pretty funny, too.
who is getting a hug?
Sorry, just came back in after changing icon to p*ssed of Persian Sants for later.
She just got back online, yesterday. I guess her puter melted down somehow. I'm sure she'd appreciate it.
Sprite's getting a hug, ren, but I guess you can have one too, if you want...
I might still have a chance to see fireworks tonight - any clues for re 6,18, please?
is the video a repeat? or am i halucinating the future again?
xoxoxoxoxox mistress - i changed to my ralphie bunny suit to match ping
2 re6/18's
re6.18 (i'll try to be less obtuse) there are 2 first or second J?
xoxoxoxoxoxo for sprite too
and good question dan. Let me know yesterday.
yay rennie!
I did moonwolf
dan - a repeat - Who finished 303 anyways?
bunnies roc
both moon - i'll take both
second, plese
and it's topical
I stayed up late to get the 303
i like topical ointments
I did, lickety. I have no clues from that, tho =P
I just wanted to make sure my v10 was still working Lickety (jk)
first re6.18 = I had to take my re6.18 car back to the airport.
re6/18 #1 is the house you re4/4
re6/18 (1st) = a type of TVm car or anything that you lease. 2nd is C18H18, obtained chiefly from the tar of resinous woods and certain fossil resins.
is that code word for chapstick
2nd re6/18 is re + ne4/4(hawiian goose) with a cross letter in the first spot
(I've always wanted to used the hawiian goose clue...and then spelled it wrong!)
no, it's code for cold callers ping.
is a tropical ointmnet sun screen?
dan, check your hotmail
i can't spell hawaiin but i think that goose should appear on the next babbler t shirt
dan and Jacula - i'm still puzzling over re 6/18,
Hawaian?
I know what a Hawaiian goose is, but the cross letter is eluding me or where it goes
but only babblers and crossword people would get it ping!
LOL. It's a tough one to spell.
hi there. Do I have time to find all 122?
first re6.18 = I had to take my re6.18 car back to the airport.
Hawaiian?
exactly, dan!
kind of like a secret knock
I must resort to be re4 book to look it up.
if you go autumn
cross letter LOOKS like a cross, and goes in the 3rd spot
second re6.18 = re + anagram of te4.4 eighth grader
The car I paid to borrow... is a re6.18
It's Hawiian.
sure. The hawiian car I paid to borrow...
Actually Jac, I think it's "Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean"...or something like that
not that we get many of Those in minnesota.
I may suffer from dyscalculia, but I can still spell by instinct. LOL
wow. I cant read numbers either =P
Incidentally, the dyscalculia is why I don't do Sudokhu.
ah, but who's english...
it's how are you
dern. thats the Other culia...
brandy!!!
Oh no! you spell Hawiian with numbers?!? I'll NEVER get it now!
ahoy there, bj!
I was once, Brandy, but I got over it. evening.
ty, moonwoof and dan, got it!
wtg, J
Lol, dan. I thnk you may have lost the plot somewhere along the way.
yw
mahn. A babble soap opera. I can only take SO much...
There was a plot? now I'm hopelessly lost!
This is cryig out for the old 'Soap' sum up very soon!
There's always a plot in Hawaii, dan. I told you that, tomorrow.
I'm a bad writer. You should get on that Jac.
Darth just looked it up in his new dictionary...he said it's spelled "Hawaiian"
That right moonwolf...i remember now
Dan, you have rolled up the sleeves on your white jacket in order to solve the problem?
and "danf" means?
Cue Hawaii 5-0 music.
danf is my name...Dan F.
grabs surf board......
Jac...I can't get the sleeves untangled
I was joking, dan. Sorry that one was too obvious. =P
You could try undoing the buckles...
*Now has visionof ren (like the programme on CBBC Headz) surfing.*
Just making sure...i've been asked before what it meant
Dan - you really shouldn't buy your jackets so big!
{{frankie + annette album}}
how come nobody ever asks me what MY name means?
What does your name mean, jwr?
jwr - what does your name mean?
nm :)
cause we already know jwr
*I* hadnt because I've never seen you before, jwr.
But you really do ned to go pro and get a pic to get any interest.
(we just can't tell you)
But evening.
no matter? never mind?
Um let me guess jwr - it sounds like that global leader?
That was just an initial question.
just willy really
justice will rally?
justin went round?
just won't riteit. That's my guess. I'm pretty sure I'm close.
James will return
picked up "nm" from this chatterbox -- assume it means Never Mind
no no ...just won;t retreat!!!
hello
it does jr
That's the one, ren!
Evening jane.
Hi Jane! welcome to the madness
Hello, harp.
or if nut's mom's on it's nm
oh dear, it's madness tonight, is it>
hey harp
Speak for your self Spiff. Some of us are just good natured menaces.
I've seen you before tho, moon -- just can't usually do the grid and chat both ... as many of you know, when I do try I wind up putting words in the wrong place at the wrong time
I"ll have to focus, between the Christmas Music Vortex and the whisky, I still have 49 to go
except ping - and she's a bunny
It's quite near to Christmas, harp, and so quite a few seem to be in mad mode.
Well, sorry I missed you then (kinda). I've found lurking will rarely draw anyones attention, tho.
GL Jane. I find whiskey usually leads to word vortex' but I hope you manage to avoid that.
I'm just trying to figure out how to get the sleeves on this new white jacket loose so i can go drinking, too
not lurking, moon, just working ... trying to stay out of trouble, i.e., putting a grid word in the chat box.
fortunately i can ask for clues
feel free to put en6 in the chat box....
ask harp ask
Surely, moon, if you don't post that your are lurking, then no one will know that you are, unless they check the who's online list.
i dunno... Do we let caped avengers drink, here?
not moon. me
en6 is the whole thing Jane
thanks dan
sorry moon -- didn't mean to get you into trouble (:
en6, harp, is the whole thing.
Oh yeah. Dont think Ive been accused of lurking. You musta meant him.
here dan - take this drink w/ the straw
LOL
I need one more ne - can't get ne 4/7 = clue, please
em + 'exhaust the body'.
we need all the clues we can get jwr
doe the el 8 build off the others?
THAT is about the funniest thing I've seen typed tonite.
thank you SO much ren...it's been a tough week! *starts sipping with gusto!*
yes Jane...end it with ** or ego
Um, jr... *I* am the only person who can get me into "trouble" Honest.
ne4/7 = ne + famous Kipling poem title.
thanks
Thanks Jacula, another new word for me
gotta go smoke while Darth takes his shower...bbs
have fun dan
i wonder how herin can nap w/all this noise?
JBY - it's a Babblet you will come to know instinctively, liike the Sicilian volcano and the hairy-nosed dolphin.
can't it be a hair lipped knife?
Ren - she has her pc or at leas the speakers turned off?
That sounds more memorable.
5 more t words for me - will I make it?
Ho, o independent moon. Just didn't want you to be accused of the crime of Lurking -- life on the grid without parole (Fr) -- think of having to work the grid without paroles. ...:) Now I go back to the box on the left side and let you guys get on with your fun.
I prefer self reliant. But sure =) Have fun.
I'm working on the te's - can I have a clue for te 6/18 (the first one)
Yes, JB. You have an hour.
Of course you will make it JBV!
ok - who put jwr in the penalty box? there's a gazillion cookies there
a younster that sounds like beemer.
And that would be me Ren. You gotta problem with that?
1st te6/18 expands on the just over 12-yeaar-old with George Clooney's medical department.
I'll let SantaJac go for a bit. I need new duds
Ay? What. moonwolf?
OK, thanks 3 more to go - thanks for everyone who is cluing me in
There. That's more woofy
munch crumblecrumble *touches corner of napkin politely to lips*
jwr - hursh and feather made thoe cookies - save the gingersnaps for dawg and me
Awww. Jr's dainty!
THank you, everyone - I'm enjoying my fireworks, going to bed now, you've been great!
That looks like it's from Maurice Sendak's 'Where The Wild Things Are'. JBV.
Congrats J. And you were worried =P
ok jbv - sweet zzzzzzzzzzzzz's
Goodnight, JBV.
hursh 'n feather : what a pair! How much do I owe?
It is. AND it's more woofy =)
barbara steele actually acted in this movie
are we playing charades now
onlly save the gingersnaps - save the ginger snanps
I'm surprised you know thw author's name tho. That's a mouthful for most kids...
Uhm, no jr. Keep chewing.
hello babblers....hope everyone is well
ok ok One of them almost drowned in the eggnog but I fished it out and it's getting its snap back.
Does anyone need a clue or teo afore I collapse into bed?
Mornin Naz. You're up early. Or late... ?
hey ya bb
Hi, bb.
the ur5 Jac if you please
Is your cactus blinking??
up late.....
Or even a clue or two?
not me mistress - i prefer to suffer all alone..grovel grovel
yes the cactus is sporting blinking lights for the christmastide
grey woulf is lurking somewhere.....i sense it.
ur5.12 = ur4.5 + a
add a consonant to the ur4.5
*Chucks dead flie or two (found in Xmas decor boxes) to servant, Ren field."
oops. sorry. that shoulda been "a consonant" LOL
fly not file. LOL
Just so y'all know "consonant" does not exist in this puzzle.
munch munch munch....xoxoxox mistress - you are the best
jac have you seen the youtubes of the singing cats?
I'm tired, not p*ssed, btw. I'll be p*ssed over Christmas.
the four legged kind, not the one that is up now
as in wine or upset?
b - not this year. Sre there new ones?
well they are new to me but there are a few that had me laughing out loud
Hoepfully as in too much wine, not upset, ren.
hello
or both. Most servants assume the both {{nudge}}
Evenin jilli
jilli!
just got the goose
Hi Jilli!
jilli!!!!!
Hi again, jilli and thanks for your e-card.
what letters does the goose start with? i mean i get the volcano, but what in the world is the goose?
I'm too tired to bother with any more of this grid -- 24 left and I don't care :)
Norm!
n bbnaz
dear jac!
Aw, jilli. Congrats?
Glad the snail mail reached you, jilli. You got yours yet, ren?
my favorite word was the ch one
o gosh -- almost did it again -- (type the word in the chat box and almost entered it -- see, that's why I don't get involved in the conversations!) TY moon & bbnaz -- there're a plethora of 5's in this puzzle that are not simple plurals of the 4's.
google "hawaiian goose"
not just any goose bbnaz...a Hawaiian goose...ne4/4
okay, now i get it. i just thought it was someone stuttering......
giggle a goose?
did I hear my name called?
jwr -- pay up and you can get BabbleExpert
I sent about 17 airmail Christmas cards re snailmail this year it it cost me nearly £10. Goodness!
Most do spin off close words, tho jr, if that helps/
no ma 'am i have not
Hi Fran!
frannie!!!!
hi dan!
hi fran
the last re6?
i don't send christmas cards and then when i receive them, i feel terribly guilty until about january 1
hi jilli!
fran!
Is it Norm, today, Fran??
i now know what a hawaiian goose is called
hi bb!
harp, re + mixed up young person
fran -- groan on your new icon
see how educational babble is?
Jili, don't tempt me with that. I don't want a commitment on top of my addiction.
I still dont, bb, and I'm sure I have the word...
no moon, someone said hawaiian goose. :-)
thanks jill
i found it rather clever......
thanks jilli! i was hoping someone would read it. :-D
moon it is the ne4.4 word
frannie - you are soooo silly
Ok, fran. Check. Hawaiian gooses are frans.
jane, I was just about to say how I love your icon -- qwere you prescient?
thanks rennie!
from you that's a huge compliment. :-)
Fran - you should have had a real card as well. Have you got it yet?
the one that looks like little kids mocking each other?
no jac, not yet
Oops! said a word!
sheesh, compliments just flying around!
yes indeed moonie
but thanks for sending one! i'll be on the lookout for it
Funny. Playing with all these words. The definitions are so mant More words. It's hard to keep track =P
i have sent out virtual cards to all of you ... just virtually imatine them being lovely and on time!
jill, i really like your interfaith icon. lovely
mant = many MAHN
I'm not gonna make it to the flip.
Fran - if friends trust me enough to give me their re4 address then I will keep in touch in real life.
*whistling* for Woulfie
You missed mine, earlier, jilli. I got an icon, just for you.
hahahaha you code it then type it Jac!
thanks, fran -- I thought it was really approriate. Were you around when dcseain said he had a neckalce like it?
that's nice jac.
no, i wasn't jilli, i wonder if he has a picture of it somewhere
bb - that's life! You try not to err and then you do. LOL.
I'm sure he could soon.
jac i aspire to be like you!
is woulfie here?
oh moon -- sorry! What I'm seeing now in the grid is a very colourful gathering, but when I click on it I see a moon-worshipper (I think)
Heck, bb! May the Lord e your helpmate then.
the last te6?
i loved your card too
fran, I ordered one from the website which I shall now check for
harp, plural of the te5/10, tapeworm
Actually, jilli, right now, it's the cover of a kids book. But that's ok.
el8,45?
harp, latin plural
te5/10 with Latin ending, harp.
work of the el5.10
d---uh! thanks
jes then use abbreviation for identification
*off
el8 ... add "not ego" to el6
harp, that's beautiful calligraphy in your icon
thanks
Oh that's funny. Jes... el8.45 = el6.18 + a part of freuds ego
"where the wild things are!"
fran, go to UniUniques.com. then jewelry, then pendants, then top row right side, interfaith cloisonne pendant (I hope that helps)
Yup. It is fran. Best kids book ever.
el8 = el5/10 (to make cheerful or joyful or rejoicing) + 3 leetter word fror what your get r** of when the rat catcher arrives. (To be free of something/)
http://tinyurl.com/3cyx4p is the pendant
the one that jilli is referring to.
found it, that's beautiful!
Evening seain
hi dc!
thanks dc *smooch*
jilli -- i always go to the "clearance" section when sites are selling things. how silly am I? i did see the pendant you are referring to, it is lovely
i would have found it sooner if i had been looking on my "other" right. :-)
hello, moon, fran, jilli, harp, jac, bb,anyone i may have missed.
fran -- before I refresh, what was your blue rectangle on a slant?
hello dc!
It's after 5aaaaaaaam here and I really must sleep now. Hapy Babbling, all.xxx
goo'nite all you er7 people -- the one's dc is saying hello to. I'm off to the basement to pull out Toys for Tots

Sorry about the stretched out time.

If I knew how to get the flicker pics back, I would, bb. But I'll sort that out another day when it's not Christmas and I have more time.

I feel like such a follower after all this. But I think I might be able to lay down tonite for a while...
okey doke. sweet dreams
jilli - don't you go blaming me for your late night sessions! LOL.
well, that's a good thing moon
jac, you're "pulling a jilli" as they tell me
good night!
good luck on the flip.
It is, fran. just wierd.
which means you say you're going but you don't go
okay, everyone stop talking to jac so she can get to bed!
Reslly, jilli, myu love? Well, I AM going now.
moon, please lie down, don't lay down
mistress has to get to bed before the sun comes up!
I'm trudging off up the wooden hill, even though doing so is killing my left kneecap..
not to worry about the sun coming up a 5 am these dark days
yes, the sun is hardly annoying at all this month....
up here, that is, not in OZ or NZ etc
lol rennie, you're right. :-)
happily, here we only have 3 days of 'shortest days' this year, 23-25 dec.
13 left

Hi fran and dc!
Hi babble buddies!!
hi dee!
so yall know, i'm in and out as i'm doing emails.
Do we have a guess for tonight's grid?
147
148
283
okay dc
is true, fran. wouldn't've done it without you throwing those fish at me ;)
hi fran dcs volley all
hi dart!
dart!!!!
Dart, I think I am going to rename you speedy 2 (after DRB) for finishing grid so fast.
283 would be nice volley :)
i miss tangle lol
I think so, too!
Ditto that. I miss the original boggle and tangle.
i was on tangle at lycos...they did away with that...went to playsite...got bought out by iwin...now i hope someone picks it up again
brb
Do you think anyone will? I wonder how fireman is?
tried herin's herd a word...kind of fun...hit over 3000 yesterday...but it's hard to get that high...have to find realllllly long words
I don't know what you are talking about. Where is that game?
herdaword.com
i think its tied to facebook if you want to keep your high scores...but you can play it at that address just fine too
Thanks, I'll have to check it out. I've never heard of that one. I've been having a frustrating week - my outlook crashed right in the middle of doing Christmas cards... think I am going to need a repairman; haven't been able to get it fixed.
It burped... then died grrr
4 letter words are worth only 20 pts....5= 40 pts 11 letters ones = 2560..so it pays to look a bit for longer ones rather than pound all the 5's and 6's etc
That actually sounds interesting.
that's not good volley
awaits he flip
the
No viruses; no adware/spyware... but somehow file must have gotten corrupted.
221 words on the next grid and Christmas comes early as far as I am concerned
lasts about 3 minutes or so...at that site you play by yourself tho...not sure about the facebook thing
hi mlfan!
hi doc!
ditto that drb
facebook is by yourself too
hi fran!
I didn't even have time to finish 122 words
you mean u arent that good jill lol??
