hi infernal!
yes, jilli :)
wb maniac -- where ya bin?
Hi
herin! how are you this fine babble?
nowhere special - just took an extended break
I think the tr 8 should also be a tr 7 LOL
I agree Volleymom
i used to play tangle, dart
I went to sleep so i didn't finish the last one. I really need not to be doing this and sorting out yesterdays mess
oh dear, herin, not another mess!
thought so...good to see you....few tangle exiles here :)
the flooding sucks, lady.
none of the fabric is cleansable from it?
yeah, i hadn't played in a while and was quite disappointed it was gone
oh no! you got flooded infernal?
hoping someone picks it back up
yea, me too
I have ho 8 x 2 and tr 8...has the 4th 8 been called?
not yet, dee
has the flood subsided, herin?
Yesterday flooded. Today kinda but there was only one bag on the floor
how high did it get, and only in the garage, right?
herin, my dotty aunt used to say "Whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth"
I feel so stupid, not being able to find that other ho 8
me, too nan :)
Only in the garage, it was in and out in under 5 minutes i think i was up to my ankles in water.
okay, so very annoying, but not too bad. i was very sorry to read what all got damaged.
re 7
nan, welcome to the stupid club, lol
i wasn't sure if it had risen from what you'd posted in your journal.
No not bad in the sense of structure just stuff. Pretty sure that about 10 bags of clothes and crap is gone. Well i guess that means no more crap to lug to the next place
I do hope that this rain hits the farmers as they need it
yeah, for what that's worth. A number of people i know have been flooded in recent years. it sucks.
we're so far getting rain this winter, which is good. maybe no drought next year if it keeps up.
dc, yoou are one sweet guy
nu7
the caretakers, JW, or another?
that was it dc
probably called earlier...sorry
all good, JW, new people popping in :) just wanted to be sure we weren't missing something

evenin, ms_gilly!
HI Ms Gilly
hello there :)
hi ms gilly
hi ev1, hi darty!
eh, some days getting dressed is overrated, lady.
hi ms_gilly
hi, banana!
a nice welcome,thankyou
hi nana
hello banana
hi nana!
I have people coming over but i don't have any cotton sweat pants. I think ALL of my summer stuff was in the garage as i moved in winter
hi nana
Oh well new clothes are always good
yes. do you have insurance that will help defray the cost, lady?
you hae along T-shirt and unnies, herin?
let me say that again -- you have a long T-shirt and unnies? (unnies = knickers)
i'll be back in a bit, have to install a software update
Nope to both. I pretty much have a few tshirts and a pair of jean shorts. God knows what is or was in the bags. I did thank the gods save the photos of my grandmother in africa. They can't be replaced. I have the onluy copys
njoy, fran
cu soon, fran?
oh, lady, that is good news.
should just be a couple of minutes
oh wow, herin -- those pix are so precious
make more then herin. or scan them to a computer disk
good advice, bb
i have a friend recently lost everything in a housefire, but what he had on vacation with him.
no blank tiles...
cool, jilli!
wow jilli, good for you
Thanks BB i think i will do that. Dc that is so so sad.
did you have a flood, herinferlady?
i know what that dc,it happened to me too,a bush fire
so one of my golas is reached -- but I'm far from halfway :(
sorry to here, gilly
my words came out all wrong lol
goals -- typos galore when tired!
I know that my parents and aunt have at least one copy of the three brothers (my dad and his brothers)
no blank tiles here either and 91 found.
it parosed in my native dialect, ms_gilly. we often use 'what' for 'that' or 'about' informally.
Mis Gilly was that Ash Wednesday or um Ferny Creek in um 1997-8?
only 40 found here, gilly
parsed even :)
i'm a bit past halfway, but have 2 blank tiles.
cockatoo ash wednesday '83

Ok I wasn't in Vic when that happened. I was when Ferny Creek happened
ty all
just noticed that the onions on my pizza baked to a nice purple today. :)
do you make your own pizzas, dc?
I may russel up a pair of guys undies (shorts) that i have that are great as shorts and a singlet. mmmm moving or babble?
they say it's going to be a long,hot summer again
moving, as people are coming you said, no?
hah-- it's not quite winter here yet and bulbs are peeking up in my garden
Yes people friends of my housemate. I really couldn't give a toss but i don't want to slip into bad habits. Its stinking humid and people need to be greatful im not wearing the Haori and a smile
Oh also Happy Midsummers
what happened to you herin?
all that rain jilli.....they say it's going to go down to -32c here tomorrow
a good solstice to you too lady :)

WTF Bana that is mental keep that weather

Lady -32c is about -35F. The scales coincide at -40.

I know jilli....you don't get as much cold down there
Cyber garage flood stuff lost been a lazy cow all day
you live in edm. mitch?
you're sounding like me to you a few years back nana lol
thank goodness, banana -- and you know you must never put bananas in the refrigerator!
That is Canada right? Were us mental Aussies like to visit in summer to sky
for school - with family in medicine hat over the break
mitch was a tangler nana
lol i know dart....now I get the same type of weather as you....no more mild winters for me
I saw that in chat dart...cool
Maniac that awesome. My g.f just finished her medicine degree. Shes 24 and already a doctor. Best wishes to you
oh that's awful --- natural flood, or broken water line?
i'm heading to BC on Sunday, hopefully the weather will be a little milder there
and i'm back!
wb, fran! glad that went well :)
Natural. Yes it is but its just stuff. My chest of drawers survived that is the best thing. I have had them since i was a baby
Yah fran
hello Fran - and everyone !
um, herin, Medicine Hat is a town.
hi lynxxx!
is it?
sure is :P
lol yes herin
Ok my bad, I am really tired
Didn't sleep till midnight and had the cat decide to kill the Qu tip at 7am. The b.f thought that was funny and didn't stop her.
d'oh. i need to call my sister to see when nephew's spring break is, and i keep rememebering at 2AM lol. maybe tomorrow on the way home
banana -- right now there is no snow in Kelowna and just a little in Salmon Arm, but that is supposed to change before Christmas.
I met an angel today, speaking of cats
oh, jilli? praytell
t
we have under a foot of snow right now, it tried to snow tonight but we just got a dusting
It got up to 6C here today
Also guilty secret. Tonight was the night i was going out with my friend and my b.f with his work. I gave him $50 and $50 here for a cab. He doesn't know that i gave him all my money so he could go out as he doesn't get paid till tomorrow
high here today was about 40F, so a tad warmer than there.
his lady will come and look after my old girl twice a day while I'm away visiting son & family, give her all her meds, make sure the bird feeders are filled, do some cuddling, and so on, for $5 per visit.
that was nice of you lady
I heard something about a high of 8degrees here today, but I don't know if that was above or below zero...lol....wasn't outside during the day at all
if it missed you nana...think it is going to hit us...supposed to get 4-6 inches saturday
found that other ho yet, seain?
oh, very nice, jilli. Good people to care for pets are a godsend.
no, nan.
you can have it dart....lol
they call them alberta clippers here...so i can officially blame you i guess :)
and she charges so little, letting the dear old cat stay in her own home
I'm off to bed, too tired to see straight! Goodnight all
loll dart
sleep well, flosey :)
night flosey!
be back in the morning
night flosey

OH Jill that is lovely to find someone that will do that

thanks dc!

ty

no
oh, yw, fran :)
was wrapping some gifts tonight and left the bags on the floor after sprinkling some foil wrapped Lindt chocs in the bags.....my yorkie poo found them while I was in the shower and had herself a treat....i'm just waiting to see how they react on her....yuck
chocolate is poison for dogs i thought, is she okay?
be careful babana - human chocolate can be very very bad for dogs (stomach pump etc)
chocolate is poisonous to dogs.. check with your vet
she's fine, don't think she had enough for us to worry about
hi ruru!
hi fran
banana, do get her checked by a vet.
evening, ruru
keep an eye on her...very dangerous to dogs
it's midnight here, no vets open
finally found the re7!
oy its dc the whole mishbukah is here
likely she'll be fine.
found hebrew, but no yiddish so far today, ruru :D
wtg fran
i'm sure she will, they were just small chocs...she might have eaten 5 at the most
found it too
you can make her throw them up easily
lol she doesn't usually need any help in that dept.
Thanks Jill for that suggestion. I put on a t=shirt and guys undie shorts
I hope its okay
i'm sure she'll be fine, that was about 2 hours ago and she's done her business since then
back with grid word.
how are we all?
alright lady. ready for your visitor, it seems?
I am trying to eat all the chocolates around here before the dogs do
LOL ruru
is that what those words mean? never would have guessed
Not really ill be in the kitchen cooking house mate and me dinner
lol ruru
how selfless of you ruru. :-)
me either, but i looked it up, and googled a picture. kinda cool.
The cat has crashed right in the door way. Sound asleep getting the breeze from outside
i do enjoy the base game, and we've tons of clay here, so i'm tempted to borrow a friend's yard and build a court.
good kitty!
bedtime for me, night everyone, gn dart

Good morning all.
ty, fran, I'd forgotten about straight lines, duh
hi frances!
No idea i have 20
morning, frances!
that's usually me jilli! that's why i chose that word to clue. :-)
hello frances
Hi Frances
so which is it? -- 4 ho 4's or 8 ho 5's?
No idea
can't count -- missing an ho 5 and an ho 8
I have four ho 4's
Hi infernal. Saw something in the chat - what happened to your house? Get the feeling it was something bad!
I have eight ho 5's
swallowing my pride --- clue for the ho 8 that doesn't have to do with showering someone with praise?
ho 8 - ho 4/5 + wo 4/8
what an odd word. ty, dee
ty volley
tried that ending in other combos, but not that one!
yqw
morning all
morning, sprite!
hi sprite
thanks dee!
spritie!!!!
hi sprite!
Hello sprite
Oh Hi Frances. Our garage got flooded. Most of my crap is in there. Most of it is stuffed as the garage was leaking before from fecking everywhere. We are all ok though that is the important thing and we are getting much needed rain.
still from hubby's puter, hope to find time this weekend to get mine back on the road
SPrite.
I could sure use lickety now... has he been in yet? stalled at 147
Frances i explained it at 641am yesterday
stuck at 171
not yet, dee
i'm slowing at 121
BJ is probably already up
ho 5/12 x5, 5/14, 5/20 -- missing?
5,12
So sorry to hear that infernal. Were you able to salvage much? I wasn't here at 0641 yesterday.
getting clue icon
ty dart
hi jilli
cool icon frances
10 to go
woo hoo maniac!
go, mitch!
volley...can i get some letter counts?
Pleased you like it Volley
great icon frances!
still missing that last 8 though
have 6 a's 6 d's 9 e's
then there are two ho 8's
I have two ho 8
I found one, with that great clue from Dee
yes there are, ruru
whew! -- h's done!
other is a 5/7/8 combo
Thank you Fran. It was that or the sa5/12
wtg, nan!
ty sprite!
thank YOU, Dee ;)
I am missing two ho's ... and Don imus
16 h's....14 l's....17 n's...9 o's
i thought of that one too frances, but decided to go with the most obvious word that i'm sure will be missed by some. :-)
lol ruru!
Frances probably not much. I did save my chest of drawers and side cabinets
LOL ruru
roasted, salted sunflower seeds are a happy :)
32 r's....31 s's...8 t's...10 u's...13 w's
Think positive infernal. Look upon it as decluttering!
that ho 8 sounds like where Harry Potter went to school
and a HUGE source of energy, dc!
oa x1, on x1, or x1, ow x5 -- missing?
and sodium
neat icon, frances!
really, sprite? they're just one of those foods i grew up eating.
Thank you dc
France i have done that and its just stuff. I get to buy new clothes
fattening too, but hey, who cares ;)
nm found it!
ruru, i struggle to eat enough sodium.
you can live on them for quite some time, dc. Without the salt then, and with water :)
TY Ruru
all nan ever needs to do is ask... and then she finds it :D
lynxxx! *hug*
hi, lynxxx!
Clues are up!
ty, lickety.
Thank you lickety
thanks lickety! ((hug))
*hugs lickety*
huh. these were roasted in sunflower oil.
YAY!!!!!!!! LICKETY Merry Christmas & thank you very much.
Hi Sprite. Ligety too, and thankyou
*sigh* -- ty lickety
Thanks licktety merry christmas
Ligety? that would be Lickety!
interesting typo, lynxxx
and hold your horses, guys.... how can it be Xmas already?
TO-itis
head desk, this woman is trying to do the right thing but has over 150 cats many dogs. About 500 animals. Its not good for the animals
here's the new icon -- and oh! Thanks Lickety!!!
common greeting this time of year, sprite
I agree sprite... feeling more like Christmas since we were dumped with 15+ inches of snow
jilli, you and dc had the same thought
you mean you already say the wishes before Xmas? We don't, that is funny!
SPrite how are you
indeed we do, sprite, for a couple weeks before.
yes we say Merry Christmas throughout December
Neat icon and clue jilli
How about happy Yule?
i think it's in case you don't see that person on the day. :-)
not too bad, lady. Still fighting with the puter, but feeling like I am healing very slowly and steadily. Will take lots of time, I know, but I really start feeling that improvement IS possible AND coming along.
merry/happy xmas/yule or good yule. though merry xmas is most common.
happy holidays common too.
Yours too dc
ty, frances -- got yours a while ago -- nice pairs :)
glad ur progressing w/it, sprite :)
That is good Sprite. Baby steps work
oh rats, dc -- you got the same bldy word and I thought I'd be really exclusive!
that is really interesting, the difference I mean. We could say: 'Well, if I don't see you anymore before Xmas, have a good holiday etc.' But not just like: Merry Xmas! That is only on the Xmas days itself.
we chose very different images, though jilli. i looked up the word, and was fascinated.
jilli and dc, does that word ever start c?
different, but similar, game, sprite, does, and ends with a t.
me too, dc -- didn't find an image of the real thing
ro gome derived from cr game.
I celebrate Christmas every day, so I might say Merry Christmas in August HAHAHA
yay, then I know the game... and I found the words :) Thanks.
u's put to bed
to get an image i had to search 'ro5 cr7' my picture is from 1930, but i don't know where.
*grins at Dee* Well, I guess that would sound silly even where you live!
go, ruru!
My cat had more money spent on her than the b.f for chrissy
I nutty
okay then, rrrocks it will be for the rest of the day, rr!
I am nutty
i see lady has her priorities straight :D
Yep. Had to spend $400 on her to stop her being a kitty vending machine and to make sure that she doesnt get sick
wel, dc, you dun good finding that pic
Totally confused on the lickety clues page. Has the correct word count at the top but showing words from yesterday! How can that be? I've tried refreshing several times.
"cause we need a little xmas, right this very minute!" people always forget that that is a midsummer song.
how can there be almost 200 words in this grid? It is slow already!
aw dc, that is a sweet song!
clear cookies and refresh, frances
glad to hear I'm not the only one kinda stalled
I have found 23 words
I onlyhave 30 words and I am searching already, jilli!
firewords
congrats, dart! Woo!
woo hoo dart!!!
I have 44 and I've been here for nearly 2 hours -- I do tend to wander, tho
in sharp contrast with dart, who zooves through! WTG dart!
Congrats Dart !!
yay dart!!!
hee, to say the least jilli. :-)
*sings for jilli* Cause I'm a wanderer, a wanderer... I roam around around around around around....'
LOL sprite!
lol sprite
one of my favorite songs for one of my favorite babblers ;)
fish for me due to un6 :)
oh! the tr8 should have a singular, at least based on usage i grew up with.
lol dc, here is some smoked salmon
made me look and find it, dc -- ty
*digs for cream cheese*
:) yw, jilli
I mean the un6 -- don't have the tr8
donkey in Shrek 3 says... If the kids don't like their presents, give 'em some waffles LOL
mmm, smoked salmon...
I have a question: isn´t there a word with a meaning like wanting to fight... like querule or querrule?
woo hoo! found the tr8
oh Dee, there is coming a special Xmas Shrek edition on TV here!
*sets out some cream cheese with the smoked salmon, a tray of bagels, and a toaster*
quarrel?
quarrel, sprite.
querulous, but not that meaning at all
querrelous? ... not sure how to spell... brb
what is meaning of that word jil...
be right over, dc *drool*
ahhhhh hence the confusion. Quarrel, yes that was the meaning, and querulous or something like that, was the word I was phantoming.
thanks for putting me out of my misery, guys, it was bugging me, with that zero Q square
DC isnt that Tr 8 the Brooklyn way of saying pants?
thanks for the un6 dc!
*on her way to dc and jilli too*
querulous - full of complaints; complaining
my grandparents used that word, but we spellit with a u here.
grandparents from Cleveland, OHio.
yayyyy Dee, that is the one! I have come across it in books.
my mom used to use it, but stopped sometime around 1980.
can't believe I didn't remember the def LOL
what's funny dc, is if you spell it with a U, the singular works!
my uncle in cleveland still uses it. so i guess it's regional.
also peevish, says my Little Oxford Dictionary
(the tr8 word that is)
that makes sense jili
yeah, i didn't try the plural here because the singular didn't work. *shrug*
thanks all :D God I LOVE this site
only tried the plural due to inerstection of list and frances.
the Kosraean word for pants is derived from that tr8, but it sounds completely different
fascinating, fran. spelled similarly?
morning all..
cant see how im gonna find 8 from that top o...but...
this tr8 taok has me totally baffled
cant see how im gonna find 8 from that top o...but...
and I cannot think of a tr8 word for pants, or it should have an OU in it, lol.
cant see how im gonna find 8 from that top o...but...
lol, have no idea how it's spelled since written kosraean is pretty new, but it sounds like ta ra cees (soft c sound, almost s)
hi rolin
hi rolin
morning, rolin
hello rolin
hi rolin!
goodmorning Rolin...still bucketing down here
I'm going to keep my icon because I have the story in the profile but dc's pic is better
neat, fran, ty.
yw dc
excellent lynxxx... so much for the myth of xmas on the beach tho..lol
HI Rolin
love your icon too, though, jilli. And your stories are always a delight.
Lynxx did you get the thunder lightening this arvo?
i'll be right back
actually, not so bad the 8 Os, rolin.
a couple of loud booms Infernal -didn't see the lightening
Is anyone going to get me out of my misery about that tr8 with an understandable clue?
pair of pants, spelled funny, jilli.
We had thunder too
jilli change the U for a high point letter
tr8 mans pants - change the second vowel for a cons
I got that idea, dc, lol
hmm..i better get on...i still havent bought the xmas cards for my staff...and i need to give them out today..lol..
I am with you with the not getting the pants, jilli, lol
fair enough :"> jilli lol
ciao, ro, have fun shopping.
gl rolin
see you later Rolin
y'see, I'm distracted by the tr5 in frances's icon, scots version
an 8 is last 8
owwwww got it! didn't realise there was another way to make TR. Thanks all.
LL jilli. Even I tried to extend that one.
TY Volley
yw fireworks
wtg Dee
yay dee!!
Congrats Volley !!
ty very much... I thought this was an ugly grid lol... not as friendly as some of our recent ones
YAY dee!!!
ty jili
glad to hear you say that, Dee, I am not having an easy time with it at all.
I don't think I could have finished this one without lickety
well... going to get some xtra strength tylenol to see if I can sleep; see all of you dear folks at the flip. Love ya all!!! *poof*
stumped by the se 5/18 --- only two possibilities that I can see with that point count and neither works
night dee
bye dee!
sleep well Dee
anyone have a clue for the se 5/18?
bye volley -- congrats
lol... I left my love a sweet little note for his last day at work before the holidays... put it straight up in his glasses... he never gave it any attention except for plucking it out of his glasses irritated.
oh, men, prite!!!
Men pfft
nan, se + pretty maids all in a ***
you got it, jilli, LOL.
so, fran, this is another Klingon grid?

I'm not even gonna tellya how many words I still need *sulk*
*hugs jilli*
night nan!
Go jilli its no big race
I gave up with 23 to go and went to lickety's list -- would never have finished otherwise
ha -- that celtic language plural is here (the singular is not allowed, go figure)
right, herin -- I enjoy the company as much as the game -- maybe more
These days i just poke at the grid
what does that celtic language start with, jilli, please?
are you talking about er5/10 jilli?
es, sprite
yes, I mean er5/10
ugh -- half alseep
S, es, er or R? *totally confused now*
er5/10 sprite
the celtic language plural is er5/10
thanks jilli
sorry for the confusion
and Fran. Got it, I think :)
confusion is good. That is where wisdom starts.
golly, that sounds confucian, lol
confusion! YAY!
i didn't know what the word was, but jilli complains about that one every time. :-)
see... QED. Confused Confucius confounded us all, and then the wisdom started
phantom: stress!
yes indeedy, fran, and at least this time the pl is there and works (no definition given, tho)
oh, I am okay with that remaining a phantom forever, Fran!
hoser should be allowed
This is interesting. There has been many bad reports on Chrisco hampers and i can safely say i am glad i didn't do that this year
yes it should, jilli!
what's a chrisco hamper?
I agree, jilli!
Ok sorry my bad. You get this catalog of stuff manly food and now toys and alcohol. You choose what hamper you want and every week the co takes money out of your account. Some hampers are worth $2000. People haven't received stuff and i thought it was all a bit of media fluff but just looking on line and its really sad
like saving for Xmas the whole year and then getting nothing?
hmm, interesting infernal
Yes thats right sprite.
that s*cks
Its really
Quick dip in. Happened here last year, people lost a LOT of money.
hi liz!
hi liz
i wonder what's up. hi, liz.
Liz was with that Crisco or Castle>
Just on my way to bed, but bbl.
so many ways people get cheated -- horrible
Farepack hampers.
bye liz!
hi liz
scammers are everywhere
Ok
They just went out of business weeks before Christmas. Government did a little to help and charities were set up...but people still lost most of their savings.
well, we are short on money this year, because of my illness, drop in pay and a lot of unexpected financial crises, so we take it very easy. And I bet we will have as much fun as we would having expensive dinners and all.
sounds criminal to me, liz!
probably so, sprite.
unethical, at best.
Fortunately, I was never tempted to save that way as I didn't like half the stuff they had!!
oh, dc, that U word you wanted a fish for... try it starting R!
ah, like stockings :)
or ho4
ty, sprite
yw :) Lucky monkey at this end, lol.
I don't think it was entirely deliberate, they'd been going for years without any problems. Extremely unfortunate either way.
thanks sprite!
Anyway, I'm off to bed...laters folks.
fascinating variant on what we call a Christmas Club here. Christmas Clubs are specialized savings accounts offered by banks and credit unions (savings societes) in the US.
ooh, S works too sprite!
oh wow Fran, thanks!
There is about 30 000 people affected. The rude thing is the company had a sale for its staff today and people are still waiting.
bye liz!
g'ngiht liz, sleep well!
night liz
If I would make an icon clue today, I´d go for the blue su5 shoes from Elvis, and plural :)
DC we have it here to savings accounts locked in till Christmas. I have got the catalog and looking at them but its really sad
thanks sprite! how did i miss that?
i think i'll change mine to that
well, I think it is a word that IS easily missed, lol.
okay, h**'* this?
pretty, fran!
well, just got back from a bedtime banana and milk to find great clues -- thanks all!
almost perfect, Fran. You should add: with compliments from Sprite ;)
they're the real deal too!
they are lovely, btw :D
of course sprite. :-)
from the smithsonian, fran?
i've seen the ruby slippers there, but not those, yet.
from the King, dc.
oh, graceland likely has them, duh.
sprite, the Smithsonian is called America's Attic for a reason :)
lol dc, I bet
and I could extend that clue: wh5 blue su5 shoes are this? Of course, they are the King's.
are these, not this.
you beat me to it, dc
arrgghh of course, sorry
great clue, though, sprite
great cluewise, stupid language-like, lol
look at all those re words! And I only have 2. I hate re words
i'm short 3 REs.
sprite, you are far from stupid language-wise!
i agree w/jilli.
jilli, you can find a whole series if you think of take up needle and thread again. Just keep on changing the vowel and adding that one consonant that makes it into a particle.
just got 4 more re words
thanks for the compliment... I meant the mistake was stupid, not me as a whole :)
that's how, sprite, lol
LOL started singing and found an RE
Just back in time for that clue Sprite - TY
Hey lynxx
well, the ru words went easily
and then we have: walk fast again, opp. of buy again and 3rd person singl., put it to good *** again, got a victory again.
the other re words are not again-words.
thanks sprite but I don't get the opp of buy again
I guess it is not opp. of buy again, but the result of that action...
ty, sprite
I have a question. On my lickety clues page I have the correct word count at the top. However, the words from yesterday are still showing. I've deleted cookies, several times and refreshed, several times and still I show the words from yesterday. Does anyone have another way of getting the clues for today up........please?
you beat me to it. When you put stuff out in your garage it would be a garage ****. That again. And plural.
a thrift shop might have a re**** on it's goods.
frances, i bet it IS today's clues, but it has yesterday's words in them. i had that happen once.
thanks sprite -- and I finally got that tr8, duh!
wtg jilli!
yay jilli!
Yah Jill
Yah Jill
aw shucks, folks :)
lol jilli, what's up hun?
dc THANK YOU. It was driving me nuts. Just shows how close I looked. I just saw the words from yesterday.
all those yays make me blush, lol
you look even sweeter when you blush, jilli :) Aw Frances, glad you found out it is ok!
yw, frances. it's no les sfrustrating.
the day i had the problem, i went and deleted the prior days words, nad it worked fine
it worked fin w/out deletion, but the filled-in already confused me.
frances, did you try clearing your cache?
ok, I have to be off for now and get some stuff done. *hugs* for you all and see you back soon.
later sprite!
Later sprite
bye for now Sprite
Thank you Fran I tried that several times. dc came up with the answer and now it is working fine.
oh good
bye sprite -- I'll be snoozing when you get back
well, 62 left and it's bed for me -- night all
Night sprite
night jilli!
goodnite Jilli - sleep well
pleasant dreams, jilli
lickety doesn't know why it happens sometimes, frances, but it's reasonably rare.
Francees its having a holiday
nice! i'm off this weekend, but work xmas eve and day.
when i worked retail and was single, i would volunteer for xmas so that i could have new year's eve and day off
i'm off new years this year. next year the opposite will be true.
hi all
hi, franT
hi frantique!
how are you today?
hi Fran !
:-)
howDy, long island
hi babrab!
howDy peoples
<- hangs her head in shame.. I just got in .. 4:30 AM bee out drinkin
howdy, babbleRabble :)
this xmas stuff is taking a toll on me
Hi FranT
:-)
babrab, that poem, er song, describes my life, and i watched the fields become highways and shopping centers and houses. :\
take down the trees and put up a parking lot... la da...
the Woodbridge my nephews are growing up in bares no semblance to where their mother and i grew up.
Hi Babrab
yes, frantique, and in the middle of the parking lot of Potomac Mills, is a family graveyard, all that's left of the fields and forest we used to play in.
i'm surprized the song isn't take down the graveyard .. and put up a parking lot laaaaaaaa da
in a couple hours the parrots are going to wake you up
LOL :D
the USA is so big and YET we run out of land!
oh babble.. you had to remind me ! LOL
meanwhile.. I have 3 hours to wrap 12 xmas gifts
:-(
well, no one lives in ND nor WY, instead their on one coast or the other. it all balances out. We from the coasts go to the middle to get away.
i went out the the 24 hour store to buy wrapping stuff.. i ran out
and stopped for a drink
and yikes now I wann go to sleepppppp
sleep is good, franT, for the body and the soul.
I met a girl last night from WY
she was lovely
I live in the state the profs from Rutgers called part of the buffalo commons
would that be NY BabRab?
meanwhile.. i don't remember the last time I had food
oh ,dear, i hate when that happens.
North Dakota
frantic is not good night after night
Must be off. So much to do, so little time. Back later. Byeeeeeeeeee.
Tell me about it... besides .. I'm not young!
ND had my favourite licensure requirements for architects when i had to gather data on such some years back. "Well there is an architecture firm in Fargo. If they say someone's an architect, that's good enough for us." :)
bye, Frances
wow three fran's

hey nono
I am having loads of trouble with the upper right N
Hi Carlee , Phand, Nono & BigGirls. Perhaps because there are 2 legs on trousers - ?
i JUST started phan.... I have 7 words
I have been here for an hour; I have 112 words
phan have you got all the medical personnel from that n
I do now! thnx
I have found 7 nu words from that corner Phaend...nothing else yet
yw
hello
hi herin
hi herin {{hugs}}
Hi
{{lynxx}} how r u?
Hi back.
Carlee how are you and yours?
we all seem to be relatively ok herin
and u?
Good Carlee. How is it going with you? settling down?
i suppose that is the best way to describe it...its more like going round the bend....
DOn't go to mad carle and if need be remember to go for a drive for 'insert excuse here'
well I hope it continues to improve - you don't sound as anxious as you were a while ago. And you are still in your home which is a plus, or is there plans to move still? I do think of you often Carlee
I am ok but this weather is annoying as i have to cook. its 20 c and 80 % humidity. I didn't go out tonight as my b,f had a work do. It was either he go out or me. I gave him as a loaner my last $100
no moving necessary... {hugs lynxx} thanks... not anxious anymore...but. I am stressed...all time...but is to be expected I suppose
Thats a great thing carlee the not shifting house thing
oh i LOVe that weather herin.....i love how my skin feels I feel like a giant sponge...right now with the dry air I feel like a dried out prune they is staarting to crumble
Phand - weird one for the corner na5.12 na + he *** her up the garden path. Plural as well
THAT is starting to flake and crumble
Carlee its icky my hair is wet and its just gross. I am wearing a t-shirt and mens jocky shorts at the mo. THey need to be greatful im not nekid
at 20????
i get like that at 30c
and 80% humidity
Thnx Lynxxx
It was really hot & humid today...its cool outside now but our houses are still hot after 2 days of this mugginess
Yes at 20 but im also baking cake and truffles. I don't know what i was thinking
Phand did you get 5 nu carer words?
see... I love those days...and when u climb into bed..right before...i go for sa quick nekid swim in the pool... and then crashinot a cosy warm bed..heavy
heaven*
Carlee i have no pool here
cool soak in tub...until it no longer feels cool
Plus there are 4 boys in the house today
put water at about 26C
That and as Lynxx said this has been ongoing for 2 days
cool tub soak...
Deffinatly will shower it when cooking is done. Truffles will take 8 hours to do
take a tub....u'll feel better when heading to bed
the bed instead of "warm" will feel cozy
can I have a clue for the an 8 pls
an8 a + the ladies in white (again) but add a vowel after the r
Upstairs carlee is an oven but yes i will take your suggestion and do the shower thing. I don't tub it
Lynxxx, can you pls give me a spoon fed clue?
yum..cake for breakie
the n6.21 are the people who look after patients in hospitals - add 2nd vowl after the r in that word
of course, all after an a....
thnx, I was thinking bride for the lady in white. Dont know why
ok.. lynxx....i have the ladies in white....and I am not getting that
sorry, I thought you had just 'done' the nu's & would be on that wave length
nevermind...i have all the nu words..didn't realise that i do
any normal person would have. But I am not normal. :-)
Cake for party tommorow night

But the good news is I'm going to start Christmas shopping today!

Oh, I thought you were going to say that you save a ton of $ by switching to Gieco
and I cross stitched all of them :'(
or is it Geico
LOL phand.
sorry, for my stupid humor
carlee, they must be tehre somewhere. Maybe you missed a box somehwere.
Oh, Carlee, I hope you find your stockings. I too cross stitched my kids stockings. they are huge. It would be tragic if they got lost.
no... last year we were under "reno" ...kitchen reno... and I only put out a little tree and the stockings.... so I KNOw they didn't get packed in with big tree like normal..NOW ai can't find them
i did buy replacements ones at walmart for the "just in case on xmas eve i can't find them yet"
I remember that now. But, I am still sure they are somewhere in the house. Just lost, that's all.
well..I know they in the house... i just can't...rememebr WHERE
Stop thinking about it, and then you'll remember. That always works for me.
they are at the bottom of the shelf in the linen closet where you put the odds 7 ends Carlee
I have $10 to last me till the 4th of Jan
missing an 8......i have an8, ho8 and tr8
ouch herin...
( if i had a linen closet..am SURE that is where I would put them )
ho8.45 & 8.65 MM - te 8.65 is a plant and sort of compound
38 words, and I'm bailing to Lickety's. Man, I'm blank this morning.
I keep mine in the drawer with my tableclothes and cloth napkins. (don't know why but maybe you did that too?)
I got down to 38 and have just gone to Lickety too
yep the b.f has $100 of my cash so that will be $50 a week.
OH i was going to suggest that if you don't ahve a linen closet store in a box in your knickers drawer
te 8, there isn't a te
LOL lynx, I wish! I could only get 38 words. Maybe it's my caffeine level..... :)

Don't think you can escape this mess without helping to clean up, either!
popcorn... silly string... tinsel and spray snow... we could make mont look like a hairy snowman
When Scarlet gets here, everybody say montreal did it!
clean up...*;looks at watch*...is that the time???
Tie him up with the Xmas tree garland. Hmm, maybe he will actually enjoy this.
i'm already LOWER than your level so you can't possibly drag me down to yours...
Yes, Ro, I have to get ready for tennis. Too bad I can't help clean up now. Bye kids! It was fun!
hey Lori... don't blame me ...blame let's say ...FMitch !!

Hey, I just found a WORD!
Hi katie
im still here lori... i keep slipping on the mud near the door..
G'd morning katie
a word???... youre here to find words???
What? You mean you've acyually looked at the grid Scrabbler?
bonjour Katie ! - just escaped a raging war...some women, believe it or not, were trying ro drag me down to their level .ha..
Haha, Katie, welcome to Kid's Camp!
words? what is she talkign about.....
sorry Rolin, that would be my fault :(
and you LOVE it monty...lol
*wiping tinsel out of eyes*... words????
Lol mont
Any way that said hello all
i know it is becca... but youre on this side of the pond...so its ok..lol
hi herin !
hi heirn
Tee hee Rolin!
Hi Herin
ok..here is an interesting question... I recently found out that "tinsel' refers to different "things" depending upon where u live...
What is it there Carlee?
I'm still grappling with this whole "word" metaphor Scrabbler mentioned.
what else could tinsel be?
here wher I am..tinsel is individual threads of "foil" u hang to make look like isicles
i think in states..is like foil garland
It was our Christmas do last night so I will need to sit in the corner being quiet if you don't mind :-)
naaahh.... tinsel is long strings of fluffy foil
Foil garland here too Carlee
The concept of tinsel not being tinsel is too much for me!
ooooh katie...have ya got a 'bit of a head'?
Nice desription rolin!!
katie has a not so slight hangover?
*hands Katie an aspirin*
and, of course, there'S Tinseltown !
passes katie a gravol
lori.... what do u call tinsel?...the garland...or the strings???
Thank you becca, not only do I have a slight head but Hubby2b had to fetch me from Nottingham after I had missed the last train :-) he took it very well but I will be grovelling for weeks!!
Gotta go now folks - going to meet hubby and collect our wedding album. It's been great fun, even if I haven't found any of these mysterious words!
am assuming strings ... as u matted it all in my hair...
bye becca, see you soon
ive uploaded a new icon of what i think of as tinsel
have a great day Becca !
BYeeeeeeeeeeeee!! (And someone clean up this mess before I get back!)
its just a coincidence that it makes it look like a pair of white breasts...lol
Rolin, it really does look like a pair of white breasts, I dread to think what site you got the photo from!!!!!

can anyone help? my icon moved when i received it. i saved it and uploaded to babble, but it no longer appears to move.
sorry, I cant help but I still love the icon
their noses twitch
hi all - TO, was it moving within an Email ??
hi monty, yes. came as a .gif and saved as a .gif
some animated gifs don't work in babble for some reason.
like DC says (Hi DC !) , some animated gifs don't work in Babble for some unknown reason; additionnally, some animated pictures embedded within an email will not move at all once they are copied elsewhere...
ah, ty!
hola, montreal. Any idea why removing from email might break them? I'm guessing the email may not allow saving all the layers.
phantom: stress. ormaybe not! ; ) i am still not halfway finished shopping mjuch less cleaning
think you're right on DC... had some good ones that were animated in the email, thought i could move say to a Word file...nein !!
phantom stress is correct.
i successfully downloaded the one that hodag uses as her icon on here.
My b.f is in a cab with drunken sods
of course, this ain't email
that's good he's not driving then, lady.
may i have a clue for sa6/21 pls?
ANd i am not getting ANY sense out of him. lucky i have dealt with tradies before rude lot
dcs - rhymes with the leafy headgear winning athletes receive. (sa6/21)
don't know what hodag us** for an icon... and can't find her in the rankings...
ty, jac!
isn't "howser" a word?
y/w, dcs.
tried that too TO... lol
it's a lizard that disappears into a sandwhich, leaving blinking eyes
i thought howser is, but it is enable, after all
freeaky! hi jacs!
tried howser also
jac, by all appearences, you, babrab, lady and i seem never to sleep :)
have to leave for a while, see you all later
à plus tard Annie !
see you later, annie!
hasta, annie
i still think it should allow hoser. hmph
yep just ried that.
just got your icon clue(s) DC, tx !
Hoser is certainly a word that should be accepted...I have been grumbling about it all day
hi there Uni !
how do you define that?
oh, well done, montreal! jilli also chose that one, and she gave enough detail, beyond a picture. you're familiar w/the game?
Hey Luc, how goes the snow?
a little bit DC, i thought at first that it took a T at the end...
a clue for sa6/21 please?
hm. it may in French, i suppose.
10-foot snow banks Uni !! - but a +2 degrees C is announced for tomorrow and a +9 C sunday !!!!! - the're will be water (or ice) all over the place by monday...
flask, rhymes with crown put on olympic winner's heads.
thanks DC!!
winter as jilli remembers from montreal 50 years ago, montreal :)
aw, and the today show was toutint the pleasure sof the underground, worry free shopping, great dining. undfortunately, GETTING there may be a problem
yw, clue really from jacula
the T ending is probably the french word dor it DC as you suspected...
bonjour everyone :D
Luc, no wonder you shovel so much!
bonjour, rae!
bon jour to you, rae!
who do you think MAKE those high snowbanks ?? MOI, that's who !
why isn't nower a word?? nower never? *pouts
bonjour rae !
comment ca vas, montreal?
i remember living in Boston and shovelling from my front yard to the side yard because i was not tall enough to get the snow from the sidewalk to the top by mid-january. i grumbled the whole time. :D
E for Evil today, imnsho
aahhh the pleasures of winter... (waxing nostalgic...)
yeah, we had to mow the lawn yesterday ;)
ça va bien Rae... except for the amount of shovellling required in the last couple of weeks...
yes, it was fun experiencing winter on par with the summers i grew up with, and with which i live again.
mow the lawn !!! "grumble grumble grumble..."
I remember those days...skiing down the snow banks on our street...snow forts...
a clue please for the word from the bottom right corner e?
last year we were mowing into mid-January.
maple syrup hardened in the fresh-fallen snow
more than one S, TO
an abundance of the letter S TO
well, last year, we had no snow till january as well - unusual to say the least...
indeed, most of my family still lives there...we heard all about it!
Coldest winter in ten years, they claim...
ah, tyvm!
we had 2 weeks of winter - 14 feb - 28 feb, though the last of the ice in the shade didn't melt till middlemarch.
LOL, I do sleep, dcs. *Wipes mouth after eating bacon sandwich.*
TO - have they put all the Christmas lights in town as in the past in Bethlehem? Still put the candles in Moravian college?
this year uni? that's what we're expecting here. we often have a good winter in la niña years.
Mont, I checked out the Cajun origin and you are right, it was from Acadia and Acadian is still used in Louisiana
How went you spaghetti and garlic bread yesterday Jac?
Hi Babblers! I'm having a bagel with a yummy spicy schmeer.. (-:
cajun origin of which button?
mmm..breakfast...
ok, time to get moving. i'm sure allof the parking at the mall was taken hours ago. my only hope is to get a space from a happy, deprating shopper
morning, aloy!
It went down very well, Uniquity.
ciao, TO, have a great day! :)
hi there Button ! - the british deported the Acadian in 1755 - most ended up in Louisiana but some also in mass.
good luck, TO ! howdy, dc..
I think it was the origin of 'cajun' (the word)
later TO
it is TS
to: good luck!
yes, cajun isa corruption of acadien. There's part of SW lousiana known as acadia, where live the cajuns originally.
good morning Aloy ! - almost missed you there...
hi nurse. yes. and they have a market straight thru from day after thankgiving. www.christkindlmarkt.com
or via www.artsquest.com - i get confused
I wonder why wh4/9 can't be extended to verb or plural form?
ah DC, didn't know there was a part of Louisiana named Acadia...
both wrong. www.artsquest.org not com
I didn't know there was a place in Louisianna called Acadia...I come from an Acadian family on my Dad's side, and as I live in NS it is a huge knowledge base.
aloy ltns
There's an Acadia here, obviously...didn't know there was another
i wondered that too, jac. enables keeps must not be horse people, i guess.
Acadia in NB, no?
absolutely. and renchis spoken there. wonderful heritage
french spoken in Louisiana is veeery different!
hi, montreal.. lol, I DID miss you!
i imagine so, une. hi!
hey TO!
Hi all..the word Cajun is a bastardization of the word Acadian.
one day, one of dad's nurses, a cajun, turned to me and exclaimed "beau jou me get wawa!" as said in french
so i hear Une, a brother of mine was there years ago and couldn't find much french to begin with and when he did, had some trouble understanding it...
and NONE of the many many French place names are pronounced "french" LOL
literrally "boy, you me get [some] water"
oh, dc already said that, sorry
I love Acadian french from NS...it's almost all half/half (english/French)...Very easy to follow
yet muchof the rich musical heritage is sung in what appears to be french
all good , krista, it's always nice to have an add'l source :) single sources generally aren't reliable
uni, not at all the case in Louisiana
rIGHT I AM Back
it's a bastardized french . . . don't get me wrong, I like the music a lot but . . .
no, the creoles of Louisiana and Haiti are odd. Haiti speaks a blend of French, Spanish and English that is baffling to listen, esp if one speaks all three. Though in Haiti, they call that 'French'.
I would imagine Une, what with the deportation and all...I would change my language like hell to bother everyone
wb, lady. boy's alright, is he?
dc, i remember being asked to translate letters from Haiti in my old job -- no way!
well, uni, french, various African, and english blended in Louisiana.
yes, i know
hi lady, sorry to read of your water damage.. has it stopped raining?
Mont, I had to step away from the computer...thanks for the info...I should have put it together since all my life I have heard about Acadian Festivals and Festivities. Un is right, cajun is very different kind of French, and the music is even more different...
and the cajuns gave us zydeco, too :)
ok really going now. see you tonight, all. happy babbling
g'night TO, enjoy ur day :)
i don't think most people realize that there are areas of Louisiana where kids grow up not really speaking "English
LOVE zydeco!
there is a folk singer from Louisiana - he sings in french and is well known in Québec...but, at first, we could hardly make out that he WAS singing in french...lol
Zydeco is fantastic!
precisely our point, montreal.
zydeco forever !!
I have a couple of friends who actually had to learn English in order to get through the standard school system!
yes, dad's nurse had to learn standard english in HS so she could go to college.
luc, what is the folksinger's name?
i can imagine, dc . . .
well that made my week
Well, enough about Cajuns, I need to get back to the grid...good luck!
Zachary Richard DC
hello all
Found ANother pile of good clothes wet. thats it im under the couch
hi, pink!
hey, pink!
hi pinkhat!
ah, ty, i have heard of him. i shall have to check out some of his work. :)
hi pink - good luck Button !
hey dc, unea, aloy, herin, montreal.. et al!!
here's his official website: http://www.zacharyrichard.com/
you knew about him Une ??
merci!
Hey pink
nope, just googled him -- will check it out! :-)
Thanks, DC. :) Sorry, was on the phone. My friend's sister was murdered - just found out this morning.
ohmygod, krista!
OH Krista um um
sorry to hear that (((krista)))
Hi, I am back to finish up the last 10 (well 6 now) anyone have the SU 7?
how sad.. and tragic. So sorry to hear, Krista..
su7 and ru7 build on un6
yes phan a day without our star
phan - su7 is a description of a dull day.
im sorry to hear that krista **hugs**
withut my icon, phand..
Oh, No Krista! that is terrible. I hope they can find the killer
oh krista! how horrible :( i'm so sorry to hear.
without even
I am in a state of shock. I can't imagine what they are going through. Thank you. If you are the prayerful type, please say one for her family.
thnx so much
Krista - How awful. So sorry to hear that.
They are pretty sure it was her ex-husband. He was crazy. She always told them she was afraid he'd kill her.
It was in Lynchburg, VA..I'm going to see if there was any news about it.
Where did this happen Krista?
well, he's sure to get death penalty there. that circuit court has the 2nd-highest death-row conviction rate in teh commonwealth, behind the Prince William circuit.
i meant did this just happen? forgive my logic train as its very late
yes lady, very very recently.
family just got news apparently.
well, the name itself "Lynch burg" speaks volume as to it's origin...
It happened night before last, but I just found out this morning.
Daniel Lynch, it's named for. the Lynchs are one of the oldest families here in Virginia.
aahhh tx DC, was on wrong track...again...
Sorry wow ok brain work sorta good now. Krista please take care and tell them half a world away is thinking of them
Yes, Seain, that's what I've heard. I don't know if they have him in custody or what.
made it to 125 - break time - bye all - take care (((krista)))
bye, montreal... see you next time
later, montreal!
ciao, montreal!
Does the an8 build off the other an words?
i guess we'll see as the news comes out :/
hasta pronto Aloy, Une and DC --- "POOF"
Good morning, bright and clear today
morning, phaeton
Sigh. Crazy crazy world. Off to do some shopping with a heavy heart.
no, phaeton.. it is a medical term
no, phaeton
thank you aloy
phaton, starts like word after it, ends like a mental disease, or chronic condition.
a + medical person + an extra vowel before the r and plural
finally done!
it actually refers to the inability to urinate, if that helps..
I am done as well
yay, dc.. congrats!!!!
well, must sleep for a bit so i can do some errands before i go to a party this evening.
... and yay for phand, too!!!
oh, aloy, ty, that makes sense for the an8 :)
bye krista, you take care now!!
congrats, phan!
sounds like a good plan, dc! (-:
thnx
congrats to all finishers! gotta run--BBL!
Got it! Thanks all for the clues
amanhá, yall! {poof}
I am signing off too.
bye, departing babblers.. have a great day!
bye phand
Pink how are you/
this is harder than it looks... first time player here!
Krista you there?
welcome, ador!
ty
a friend told my about this last night... fun but hard
adaorable, at first, but gets easier as you get the hang of it and understand the clues given in chat
lots of fun! "aller anfang ist schwer"... all beginnings are hard.. gets easier with practice, but it is rarely "easy" .. at least, not for me..
well I've been on for about mmmm 10 min or so and i have 32 words!!!
practice makes everything easier
i have the flu. im both hot and cold at the same time...urgh!! i was supposed to get lil pink her birthday cake and balloons for Sunday, i doubt i'll be well enough to celebrate her birthday on Sunday!! It couldn't have happened at a worse time!!
nice going!
Great, it is one of the easier ones, but with 160 more to go it will get frustrating. :)
Dang it if you see Krista please tell her to google said friends name
Pink you poor thing
oo thats stinks pink... i sympathize
ooh, sorry pinkhat.. you just have to rest, though.. call for HELP..
my mum has had the same thing, so she is recovering herself, my brother is out and the other one is at school so i have to look after lil pink...surprisingly enough, she has been a good girl all day
Well im going to wrestle the blanket of the cat and go to sleep. Night all (yes its 2am)my time
brb.. my mouse died and is hungry for new batteries.
night herin sleep well xx
night hern
hi all
hi frantique
hi fran
thats it im moving to Canada. We may get snow in the alps
HI Franti
heh, that is interesting.. ow5.18 is plural for ox!
little bit more of a clue for that ow5 please
ow + I ***t my packages early to avoid the holiday rush
thanks, Aloy, strange word
but the line at the P.O was long.. yvw, pab
Good morning, all. Thought I'd get a bit of Babbling in before the last minute grocery shopping...whew.. it's getting a bit crunched now... HI, Pab, Aloy, Lady, pinkhat (sorry you are sick), and welcome adora...
thankyou scahrlet
oops i mean scarlet
hey there, Scarlet! good to see you.. (-:
Hi Scarlet
sheesh i seriously do not get the clues...
It's a wonderful site, adora... you will come to love it...'tis okay, I will answer to just about anything! LOL
HI, Aloy... so good to see everyone too!
lol i am the same way about answering to anything
pink, hope you get better soon
pab and Aloy... anyone, does everyone have their influenza vaccines already?
yup
i got a flu shot and got very sick from it this year
haven't been stuck yet, Scarlet.. you?
got my shot in october
strangely enough it didn't bother me and it usually does
got the flu... then got the shot
intersting
Hi, frantique... sorry to hear that... Beloved and I got ours... we ARE over 60 now... LOL. I had mine at a flu-shot clinic that was set up in my local grocery store... otherwise, I never would have done it... it was the easiest shot I've ever taken... (of that kind)... no soreness, no reverbs, no illness... so many are sick, I'm beginning to think it was fate that I got it!
and this time they didn't ask if I wa allergic to eggs, in stead they asked if i can eat honey
i'm happy to hear that scarlet :-)
Same here, pabtrek... this one was a breeze. :-) frantique!
well, ok.. i admit it.. if we had a clinic in our grocery, i would have had the shot.. lately, i practically live at the grocer's, lol
i find that if I get sick after i have the shot..its not as bad of a cold.
lol aloy
Exactly, Aloy... LOL... it truly was fate. With my shopper's member card, I even got two dollars off the $30 cost of the shot... such a deal!! :-)
I felt bad a few years ago when there was that shortage. they made old people wait in line for hours in the cold !!!
Years ago, the Swine Flu shot was the worst of the worst... that was the last one I had had until this year.
greetigns
make that greetings
Hi, harp!
hi harp
hi
nothing like a bargain! (-: you wouldn't believe how long i looked for "tamari" sauce.. finally researched it and found out it is one of two basic types of soy sauce..
i dunno, i thought greetigns was pretty dang clever
somewhat like the words i am creating in this grid
bbnaz.. i so agree
i was wondering what part of the world that accent was from "greetigns"
Oh, Aloy, you would love Earth Fare here in Asheville... all organic, and most of the esoteric ingredients are there, or they will order for delivery in two days! I love it! Hi, bbnaz.
Ok kids .. stay well !!!!!! x's
hows
LOL, adora and fran!
oops wrong window lol...
too many things going on at one time
'bye, adora.
Good morning, tree huggers and granola eaters!
good day all. i have found 97 words without the list so far.....almost ready to cave and get some list help
wish we had one here, Scarlet.. but I must say things have improved drastically since last year.. lots and lots of organics are now in stock.. and no problem finding the firm and very firm tofu either.. hot diggety dog!
nah im still here typed in the wrong window lol
i just cannot monkey the ho8 (have the veracity one)
I have 73 left, bbnaz, so I am thinking of listing now, too.
sheesh you guys are amazing i still have 145 left
thanks for noticing my breakfast, judi
well i did start last night at the flip.......and found almost 90
ho 4.5 + a var. of Harry Potter's Hog****s
Aloy, my daughter is the tofu freak in this family, (I'm glad she has her own place to cook it) and we DO like the Boca Burgers, but we are, as you know, pure carnivores!
i have just started this a.m.
omnivores more like it Scarlet (hehehehe)
LOL, bb... hi, there, Judi!
No offense, anyone. I'm a tree hugger and a Boca Burger eater too... and an omnivore.
am trying tofu "french fries" tomorrow night as a side dish for the lentil/cheese loaf.. LoL, hubby and I are eating all the meat products in the fridge before the "kids" arrive..
i'm gonna go get some breakfast... my stomach is hollering at me! See you guys later
the ho8 is a perennial herb
That's right, Aloy... you must entertain vegetarians... are they vegans, too?
Later, adora!
thank goodness they eat dairy products! But absolutely nothing with any meat or meat byproduct.. like I have to read pastry to make sure there is NO LARD
hi all -- wow we have a grid with more than 113 words in it!! LOL
and they eat eggs, tho daughter prefers "egg beaters"
A standby here is chicken broth, but my closest friend is a vegetarian... so, when I invite her, I make certain that I adhere to her tastes... egg beaters are odd-tasting, Aloy...
Hi Bookie!!
i use vegetarian boullion in place of chicken broth.. works very well
scartlet, wazaap?
Yes, it does, Aloy... or, I make my own, and throw in some parsnips, tomatoes, parsley, potatoes, celery, carrots, onions and leeks... makes a very tasty base for many things!
veg X brand is my favorite
Hey, Bookie... just the last-minute madness of baking and getting out all the dishes and baking things that stay in hibernation all the rest of the year.
stuck way too long on se5.10, the first one.. anyone point me in the right direction?
is it a fishy one?
I think that might be "mister" in Espanol, Aloy
hah, I see it now!
Incoming salmon...
ty, Scarlet.. as usual, I was on the right when i should have been on the left.. (-:
ooh, smack me good!
We are of a kind, Aloy... okay, I have goofed off long enough... must go ready the Christmas Pig cookie cutters for the sugar cookies: trees, bells, Santa, Rudolph, elves, and the Baba invention: the pig. Then I'll bake and decorate. Tomorrow: gingerbread boys and girls! The grands love them.
lol, same here, Scarlet.. sugar cookies today, gingerbread tomorrow.. happy baking!
OH, one more thing: what the heck are those silver balls called that used to be available for decorations? I can't find them anymore... they were some sort of health hazard. Thank you, Aloy! :-)
I made the doughs last night, and they are just right now for rolling and cutting after a night in the fridge...
* silver balls... silver balls. It's lead based candy from China! ... silver balls... silver balls *
I know what you are asking, Scarlet.. but I have to invent a name.. how about little silver deco balls?
lol, Judi!
I thought they were made from mercury...which is worse?
lol
LOL... as good as any, Aloy... LOL, Judi... I can always count on you for total irreverance... They had a name... yes, rae (and, Hi!) they had mercury on them.
Scarlet - silver dragees can still be bought from kitchenkrafts.com. Here's the url - http://tinyurl.com/2s34k4
no wonder they were so shiny!
I got fireworks, btw.:-)
Well done, Jacula! Dragees! That is it!~
OMG. I thought they were just made from sugar. Haven't seen them in years. Someone probably choked on one and ruined it for the rest of us.
wahoo, Jac! 7 to go here
HUZZAH for jac!
i am still looking for that ho 8
Hello all
'Bye all!

Thnx ALO I was using the other 4.5 and couldn't make it work

I guess I'd better go get an icon clue. Does anyone have one for me?
Yes, peri... It's been a merry-go-round lately... many hugs to dear friend!
I must go, too. Got cleaning to do. Hi & 'bye, peri.
Never heard of that herb.

congrats Aloy

NM got it
ho8.65 is a plant (Cryptotaenia canadensis or Japanese wild chervil). It has white flowers like that of cow parsley.
ho8/45 is the one who does ho5/12
ho8.45 uses the US spelling of ho5/12 (to decorate or privilege) and is the plural of those who ho5.12.
Haven't gone yet, btw, as I've got to stick around to open door for Other Half when he gets back from corner shop.
He's here. I'm gone. Byeeee. xx

pink are u there
Sorry, did'nt understand what you were asking.
yes i am cool, im soooo ill
no prob :-)
could someone clue the er6?
thanks, cadfan
er6 is that babblet that's an old english word
means "before this time"
gotta check on pecan pie -- BRB
oh, THAT babblet! thanks
Hi Jacula have traced the umbel in my books but no common name!!!!
hello all! greetings UK-types! *waiting for report on pecan pie*
hello stid!
hi stid!
hey, stid! needs 5 more minutes! :-)
hi, stid
(from Louisiana relatives' cracked pecans I shelled myself!)
okay, Uneaixsoise, will be patient-ish
Tom has an aunt in Georgia who sent us pecans from her own trees one year. DEEElicious!
I'm officially sick of pecan pie--everyone likes it so I made it for Thanksgiving, my Xmas party, and now for our family Xmas dinner . . .
lucky you, stid!!
rofl... have you tried chocolate pecan pie? we have a recipe from Ghiradelli...
my grandmother (a million years ago) had 2 big pecan trees in her yard and I remember knocking them down with sticks and gathering them into big brown bags!
that would be uber-cool, Une!
*cue theme from Gone with the Wind*
okay, I have acquired 12 words, and I believe that is about as many as there are...
:-D
my grandmother had a walnut tree that I would climb and throw the nuts down to her
cool, niamh!
we used to rent a house that had a HUGE black walnut tree. Impossible to crack, but the squirrels loved them.
I'll BET they did--little demons!
*grin* so I bet you have a GREST T-shirt all your own, Uneaixoise? LOL
picking fresh walnuts stains your skin... it was a lot of fun for a little girl
so does picking fresh limes. I ruined more clothes that way...
HI everyone.. I can't find that er babblet..small clue please
hello ruru!
hello ruru fyi: I have new picks of my puppy on my flickr

I guess it's okay...the pain has disappeared and it is only minimally red/white. Kinda Christmasy, really
au5 = au + pink is taking a ***t to feel better
ty
nm, got it
Uni one of the best ways to ease a burn is tons of cold water then a paste of bi carbonate of soda applied to the burn
se5/10 and se6/18 please
isnt baking soda good for those too?
I think I ended up snapping a chunk off our aloe plant and applying that all evening to keep it moisturized. I've heard good things of milk too....and cold water is beautiful for the pain part!
ohh yes milk too
No MLF its got to be bi carb
se + again, pink is taking a **** to feel better
(remove cross letter for the 5)
I'm just doing a google on the bicab soda think....is this something i have in the house? like baking soda, i just didn't know the real name?

isn't bicarb the same as baking soda?
Oooh. Working on that one still. Sorry!

Saw that uni!

Noo! I just had a shower as I am getting a haircut in a few hours **tears ou t tinsel**
and that carlee
this cold is a real pain - my mind is not seeing these words!!
*lobs another mud ball in, hoping no-one notices it was me*
Do you know the people 1st before you pick them up
ok, I got it
no, I don't know them...they are just random drunk people and we take them to their homes to dry out
Becca I saw that!
so i JUST finished my xmas shopping :D
ruel
How can you cope with that rae
what?! I didn't do anything!
Carlee started it
it's not a big deal...they are just so thankful to get home safely and not have to wait 2+ hours for a cab
**puts on tinfoil detective hat to find the source of mudball**
Go and sit on the naughty step Becca..you are getting too excited and santa wont come to you
uni started it
I hope no-ones sick in your car rae
they're getting punchy waiting for santa!
I admire you rae I couldnt do that
ohhh, but caitlyn.... *stamps foot petulantly*
oh no...that never happens! I hope
All of you who are chucking things are now in trouble ..now STOP IT!!
and carlee didn't clear up the mess she made earlier either!
could i have a clue for the ho8 please?
it's really fun and helps keep drunk people from driving. I would much rather they barf than wind up in a body bag
Carlee, could you come watch my brothers for a while, as I am about ready to throw them into chat as missiles....They are being FOUL today.
ok..so I have 33 words left..and I am SO not in the mood for this....but it is this...or wrap pressies
which one, denny?
duct tape them to the chairs uni
ho8/65
ho 4.5 + wo4.8 it's a weed of sorts
I agree rae but i just dont fancy people i dont know phoning at all hours for a lift
**prepares duct tape**
think of the school harry went to
ho8 plural of ho7/32 those who revere, laud, recognize
oh no...I'm at a police station and I have a 2 hour shift
it's not my home phone number
oh, sorry, wrong ho8
how about the an8?
thanks rae
hey, hursh!
rae i am sure i've asked thid but where r u ...toronto?
hey
Oh thats a better idea
an8 means a disease that makes you unable to urinate . . .
Hi hurshy
Hi Hursh - a + hospital workers with an extra vowel in the middle
a + the REAl workers in the hospital + an extra vowel after the r + plural
I am in beautiful victoria, BC
ty
i also have some de troubles.
oh..ok... we don't have that program here and I don't think in the other cities near me either...
it's called operation red nose
if we did..I would definitely volunteer
you should start one!
go talk to your local police type people or town council
i know some cops...
what do the taxi firms think of the scheme?
you probably won't be able to do it this year, but next year it should get off the ground in time (lol)
that's a service that's been offered here for several years--think it's pretty popular!
there are so few taxis here...they are usually all booked by tonight
bc, alberta, manitoba...and only quebec
and I don't care what they think...they aren't very nice people
i wonder tho the INS risk..etc
the program is sponsored by ICBC, our provincial insurance provider
My son and other coppers sometimes do that if they have a quiet moment better that than arresting someone
ru7?
here here!
more than fast walking + not more
Well I applaud you rae for your charity.
cool..ok...well..am down to 26 words to go..but its time to wrap whilst everyone away from home
well i'm off to cook tea - chicken fajitas tonight yum yum!!

she was on MSNBC
bye, caitlyn
Well, if you're going to provide natural cover... Things are just gonna pop out at you. That's how I got a hubby.
moonwolf LOL!!!
Not like he's a snake. It just reminded me =)
I remember going to a Xmas party years ago here in Nashville--the couple lived in a large log cabin and the "front room" had a very high ceiling--they had cut their own (huge) tree . . . when they brought it inside and got it all set up, they discovered a squirrel at the top! LOL
Aw. Poor squirrel. Silly people.
I have that problem, avrytime we go to a new fair. I guess I'm just kinda used to it.
Can't bring the pets in until the hubby makes sure theres no snakes or scorpions, etc.
a new fair?
This year, we got to NC and a cat had managed to get in and died over the winter. I thought it was a racoon until I found the flea collar.
Yeah, I work at renassance fairs.
ooohhhh, ok
Ewwwww. Dead animal stories.
I just spelled that heinously lol
:-D
Oh, sorry judi. They were live animal stories.
My most recent once with talking pets happens to be a dead one, tho. I apologize.
Oh, okay then. I had a live bat in the house once. Yeech.
My hubby and I have a deal. He gets the snakes and I get the bats LOL
I found out right after the very first time I ever heard him squeel like a little girl.
He came in wavying his hands around his head wildly squeeling "bats! baaatss!!"
Now see, I'm not afraid of snakes, but my hubby hates them. I have to physically restrain him from chopping them up with shovels.
LOL!!!!!
*I* happen to like the furry animals. The snakes, tho. Blech. They ALL have rattles in my world.
i have a totally irrational fear of snakes . . .
Well, no one likes the venemous ones. We just have garden and black snakes around us. Harmless and beneficial.
My hubby have the exact oppsite arrangement, Judi. And me too une
I'm serious. They ALL have rattles, when i see them. My hubby laughs when I see garter snakes.
same here--the occasional garter snake . . . I once almost stepped on one that was sunning in the backyard--I swear his eyes bugged as much as mine! LOL
*I* Know that in my head. That seriously doesn't change what I See.
hello everyone
hi everyone - snakes and bats - yuck
hey, praise and saphyre!
Hiya saph. Blame some random lady in FL

Actually, we are very fortunate to have more charming wildlife. Besides snakes, bats and skunks, we have deer, rabbits, fox, raccoons, countless song birds, hawks, eagles, etc. etc. We love our local critters.

Oh and bb. I sw*** you prolly wouldnt since you have animals in the de8

Hola pende
My local critters depend on the month, Judi lol
We do have a bald eagle nest up at the cabin, tho. The chicks (?) are adorable in the spring
Now that I think about it, tho. I bring a fair amount of "local critters" with me =P
it makes me very sad when i read about the rattlesnake roundups in texas. we had a farm towards Yuma and my brother killed hundreds of rattlesnakes........and now we only kill them if it is a last resort
Eaglets, moonwolf.

And they're still on the right side of the dirt.

Congrats! ypsigirl

no there is another re 4
same color + vowel
yes, I can and it but only very loosely phae
thanx ypsi
its a verb meaning to advise
can someone help with the an 6 and 8 please
just not seeing them
the 6 is the 4 but plural
has to do with butts
those were among my last ones
LOL I kind of figured that phae
the an8 is a medical term
LOL--what a subject
LOL you would need those clued.. ha ha
and the 8 is an ailment that won't let you urinate.
got the 6
got it
ty moon and phae
change the s in the a4 to an r and go from there
Hey, i found a re6/27 that's not listed on the stats page? Is that possible?
I suppose. But it's not likely. What is it? I'll look it up.
oh wait
it went in?
There is a ro6/27, do you suppose that it was set up wrong?
re and to beat someone again at a game
It's certainly possible. Like I said...
it showed up in the word list and gave me credit for it
Hmmm. But it's not on what stats page?
whats the clue for the ro6/27?
I dont have that one yet. hold on
RO6/27 = plural of RO5/16. contains the double-letter tile
actually it's only five lettes but it says 6
the double-letter tile counts as 2 letters.
Eva, thanks for the clue, but i was saying i put in a five letter re word and it's showing up as re6/27 that's not listed in the stats
i guess its possible for the stats to be wrong, but i dont think ive ever seen it before...
Oh, actually, phae. This happened to me once. Try refreshing your browser
Some times the display graphics go wonky and show up wrong
why?
It usually "fixes" the display so that it shows the proper points, etc.
Hot diddly dang. Fireworks!
that particular word is showing fine for me.
but what if i want extra points?
Congrats Judi
it wont actually award you extra points
You can want them all you want. You wont get em lol
It's just a glitch in the display, phae. It'd be nice, but it's just the display.
Congrats, Judi!!
need
one
more
pressies wrapped
:D
Good luck wood
congrats carlee. That's what the hubby just did.
congrats, carlee! mine are wrapped as well, other than the one im picking up this weekend from the pottery place. :)
*I* had to find the tape tho. {{preens}}
hubby is out buying MORe pressies :S
hi folks!! :D
i have all my stocking stuffers
evening bulb
our stockings are stuffed + hanging :)
but santa fills the stockings
santa fills my stockings at my parents house... at our house, chris + i filled them. :)
Thankfully holidays with my side are out of the way. I dont even think I'll have anything for the actual xmas day =)
ah..ok.///
Ok moon, i refreshed and it corrected the letter number, but gave me extra points
i just want it ALL to be over
you and me both carlee
Well, phae, then enjoy for now. I just wouldnt expect them to stick.
Now it says 5/27
Your right, i don't worry about the points anyways
But yeah. My browser did that sometimes too. Heck sometimes it used to not show a word I'd put in at all.
last se 518 please
Fireworks!
sorry, havent made it that far, wood. Oh, ask Merk lol
congrats Merk
<POMPOM TOSS> for merk...w00t w00t
Thanks for the advice, it'll probably straighten itself out later
It usually does, phae. Honest.
Moon, how many points is that word so I know where i'm at
the game word is worth 18
se = se + corn is planted in a ...
its a 5.18
Thank you moon
yw, phae.
Wow, that's weird, phaeton. Now everyone will want extra points. Hmm. Interesting idea for another Babble beta. Find the secret extra point word!
thanks just got the fireworks
finally done with the RE's
LOL nice judi. I cant Even image what kinda chaos that would cause around here.
<POMPOM TWIRL> for wood....yippee yowsa

Congrats! Wood!
Lots of stick swinging and diving elbowing others out of the way - just like a pinata.

And next week Saturday I leave for China again and that really puts the cabosh on my babbling ... way to0 busy.
But you'll get to be in China. That'll be cool.

I've been going summers off and on since 1991 and now the last four winters, too.
Have a great holiday if I don't see you tomorrow. Bye everyone
Very cool. Mind if I ask which organization?
Ok. NM my nosiness

Is Scrabbler here?
and adopted set? Aww. Ok. I get it. I'm still waking up, sorry
deb...re + sa 4/4
Not that I've seen chiley. Sorry.
Hullo autumn
chiley your grandson is a doll
ty Karys
yw
ok thanks....needed to ask a pediatrician question. Thanks ... he has a rash on his face and daycare called my daughter to come get him. He's been crying all afternoon. Anyone have any ideas? He started cereal a couple of weeks ago...oatmeal...could that be it?
Yes. It could. Grains on sensitive kids just starting can cause yeast infections, etc.
He's a first baby and my poor daughter has been suffering from post partum...this has really upset her.
would that be on his face?
oh wow that is rough chiley
you can get yeast on the face
could be a reaction or could be like roseolla
kids get weird stuff in day care too
btw..i am NOT a doctor
I wouldnt know what to recommend for a baby tho. Yes, chiley. My partner even gets cold sores if she eats bread.
Mostly on the face, since it's a thinner skin.
Also true wyrd.
Have you tried Web MD chiley?
if he were mine I would probably give a drop of 'Calpol' and see what tomorrow brings
my kids were so sensitive cold wind would give them a rash
Dr Scrabbler here--free consults available.
LOL Speak of the bunny
aahh..here's the person !
Is his rash new, chiley?
Thanks Scrabbler....5 mons. old....started oatmeal 2 wks ago...rash started yesterday...looks like pimples
rash on face and some on chest
My nephew's got that, right now, tho he's older.
An allergic rash would more likely be generalized, e.g. dry skin everywhere, or hives.
They sent him home from school, too.
day care staffs and school nurses send every kid with a rash home
she used aveeno baby lotion the day before rash started
New laundry detergent, fabric softener, soap, etc?
well....how strange.... a continent away and my 3 year old grandson was sent home from nursery with, guess what !!!
she's on the way to the dr.....no, just the aveeno lotion
my kids give me a rash
Oh great. Babble's got an epidemic.
Hmm, I like Aveeno and recommend it for rashes.
my kids gave me a headache
lol moon !
Winter dry skin is very common too.
JD only has it on his face, too. Just his chin. And they look like zits.
we're in FL ... very humid here
first winter for a 5 month old
she says the redness & rash come & go
Haha, Karys. I got a headache yesterday from a nasty father that demanded an antibioticc prescription for his daughter with cold symptoms for 5 days.
You should Scrabs. That's insane.
couldn't you just shake them Scrabbler ?
you should have written him a prescription for the coocoo bin
So too sooth my emotional distress I am now eating Edy's blended frozen yogurt, chocolate fudge brownie.
I think that sounds a little like an excuse !!
Chiley, has he been ill at all? Cold symptoms? fever? not eating? not sleeping?
It's too bad there's not prescription strngth chocoloate.
oh good idea moon, i would be SO on that
I actually don't need an excuse---I love this stuff!
no, not a good idea.... I would be sooo fat !
much as I thought Scrabbler !!
I tried the sugar-free version last week, but that sucralose sugar substitute has a laxative effect and I had some GI distress.
we had that problem with diabetic daughter
which means basically, that it sucks lol
and diabetic chocolate costs twice as much
my diabetic dad says the phony sweet stuff just makes him crave more
dietician ?...told us not to bother with diabetic stuff
No Scrabbler....just the rash and daycare said he had been crying all afternoon...BUT when she got there he was fine.
An alergy to oatmeal is highly unlikely--rice and oatmeal are started first because they are so benign. Is he breast or formula fed?
daycare can sometimes over- react I think
Formula
Milk based
Which one?
Enfamil I believe altho she does use some store brands too
I am asking because some of the cereals have milk in them and he could be sensitive to that. I am not sure if soy protein is in any cereal. You could review the label. He could be sensitive to soy protein if that is in the cereal.
do you not have to stay with the same brand now Scrabbler ?
might be ezema
oh ok....I'm sorry to ask for advice....you must get tired of it. Thanks very much.
I need a clue for a ho5/12, one of the three in a row
It's not absolutely necessary to stay with the same brand--most babies will do fine on any or all products.
i have the ones that end in el and es
all of them are from ho4/5
phae... try en
just ch the last letter
theres a past tense one phae
things change all the time Scrabbler, we had to stick with what we started
Yes, Autumn, he could be getting an eczematous rash from a food sensitivity. And Chiley, I do not mind trying to help .
help with the na's please
just not seeing them
Chiley--check this out later: http://foodallergy.org/
my daughter had exzema in bouts, mostly on face and hands for the first year or so
na + he *** her up the garden path
hey all again

hi nannnsss
it did i thought a couple was gonna cry lol
did they lap up all your good food
cry, is that because they cant believe U CAN BE NICE
one of my guys is chinese been here 2 yrs and wife and kids,it;s their first christmas here and no christmas tree,i bought a new one so i gave him my old one and i thought he was gonna get teary on me
your tough jo,,,they saw the other side of you today i bet
lol true nans
we had sooo much food
they brought stuff too it was awesome
i am getting tearing on that note
i am getting tearing on that note
why did that come thru twice
about what the tree??
ahh sometimes it burps
yes, and how they reacted
i call him my shadow
i love to give to those in need
yep
i give him food too big bags of rice
makes u feel good,,,and them too
brought a big bag of food for the food drive we have every year
how nice,,,jo,,,does he know you will be bringing the whip back to work when you all return
oh they all know it
dont u wish u were a fly on the wall when they see the two sides of you, lol
today i just gave one of the new guys a month to shape up or i ship him out! made him sign a paper too

wish they'd do that with some of the guys I have to work with... I'm kinda tired of doing thier jobs for them
well best be up front with them
i had too gave him too many chances already
i know what u mean niam,i don't mess around
its not fair to the others,,,
i threatened one with firing a week ago and u wouldn't believe the difference in his work ,and he's my sons friend
and u know what they say about one bad apple
I don't mind so much when you're new and trying... but when you've been here almost two years and don't try I get irritated
those are the ones that take u for granted, never do business with family and friends if you want to keep them
hah that was me bout 5 years ago boss at that time let them get away with it and i busted my butt. i swore that if i ever got that kind of position i would never let it happen
all new guys but they still try to slack off and i ride them till they shape up
one of my friends got me a job and i did the opposite, i over did i so much, someone said if i kept it up they would resent me,,,lol,,,how can u win
shouldn't la***ed be a word? Past tense of la***.

That is a promise you can etch in marble, peri! {{{Hugs}}} Later tonight for certain! :-)

Bye now!

I used to like Chritmas shopping crowds. I'm getting old or antisocial or something....
Start with the swine, joanne, and the old wive's tale that handling toads will give you a ****, just change the vowel.
WRong! Start with the first HO4/5 word and add the bumpy skin things... change the vowel
prince ?? lol
Hahahhahahaaaaaaaa
Oh, Krista... it was really nightmarish today... I think I am done... but I will never wait this long again...
I always think I am sooo ahead of the game, but those last-minute things end up taking forever with the crowds the way they are! I am with you: **raises rigth hand** Never again will I wait this late.
the garden waterer or the to ho in on someone's conversation??
Not the watering device...
It is to HO** in on something...
It just seems to be worse this year, Krista... I know that I am fairly antisocial, but this time of year should bring out the best in folks... not so... but, they are in the minority... so I won't grouse too loudly...
lol scar i seem to be lagging cause i had it and didn't know it sooo sorry
LOL.... Tuna and Salmon pounding on jo
Whew, I finally got it joanne..did you? And I understood the Harry reference!
Krista, do you have the second HO 8 after that?
lol i think i am getting hit by carp!!
is there another??
be back in a few - my Mom just stopped in
There is a second eight in the HO words... to serve one's country with HO5/12... when they receive an award or posthumous award, the one who does it is the HO7/32, and the plural is the HO8/45.
Those who bestow the HO5/12...
have I ever told anyone that I really dislike the re's?
You and 98% of all Babblers, Niamh!! LOL
tyvm
Yea! You're welcome, jo.
didn't have the ho5 and thanks to u i have 3 more hehe
even my sister (who doesn't Babble) understands my frustration with the re's... yes, I Babble even when I'm not Babbling!
Must go make the cheddarwursts for beloved... come to think of it, I am hungry too... from dealing with really strange people today... Christmas is like the inmates running the asylum sometimes...
lol
lol, true Scarlet... have a great day!
ok scar tyvm may see u later if not have a good nite byeeeeeeeeeeee
You, me, mostly all of us, Niamh... when I am not actively doing it, I anticipate the next one, look up words from this one... etc.! Thank you, Niamh!!
Thanks, jo! Maybe I'll see you later! Be good!

Got to go wrapping...and I don't mean like Public Enemy.
I think that same guy was everywhere I went today, Joanne..BAD drivers everywhere.

ty krista
those are the best kind of kids
i didn't i gave him the r u jerking off motion
It's dangerous. I got my husband to stop the gestures. I told him he'd get shot in this here country.
my grands that I get to send home
and i told him so
:)
Grands??? You're just a youngin' yourself.
LOL well they aren't officially mine--daughter's friends babies
although I could be a grandma

I agree, those are the "funnest" kinds of kids. :)
it's illegal here, he'd of had himself a ticket
and it is here too as far as i know
Ok, I need to go wrap gifts and call my friend whose sister was murdered! Not sure what to say. Sigh.
hubby and I have them about once a week or so
or whenever we can get our hands on them
oh wow Krista
that is rough
byeeeeer kris
I'm sure the mom appreciates that, Praise!
she does
and we love it too
Her sister was murdered night before last, and I just found out her father-in-law died today.
oh dear, Krista
huh murdered???
who's sister was murdered?
oh heck sorry kris
how tragic for her! there's not much you can say... just tell her you'll be there for her... and mean it
My good friend/former coworker. She Babbles once in a while, but doesn't chat.
well, in the words of the youth, that sucks.
so many people said that when my dad died... but they weren't really meaning it...
Bye folks..please say a prayer for her and the family, that they can get through this. Yep, and bites, too, Nut.
I know what you mean, Lady.
bye krista

Sorry to end on that sad note! See you folks later.

did that help at all Brook?
"hoser" is common usage in Canada, should be a word!
perfect clue, got it! thanks!
LOL I agree saanich
yw brookie
I've tried hoser at least 6 times already
LOL me too lady
definitely not a "proper" noun, praise. We really like our hosers; hey are so funny!
these hos are driving me nuts!!
I seem to be done with the hos... not sure how that happened.... still have 33 left, though... and tons of wrapping to do.
38 left here
I have all the wrapping done finally!
thought that I was all doen
done even
and then hubby brought home more gifts
hi all what is a hoser?
TO I think it is like the equivalent of a hillybilly in Canada
saanichat is that close to right?
TO love the icon
hi all! su7 clue anybody?
dan--without sol
hoser = one who hoses?
gah thank you praise
yw dan
clues for su 5/14 and 6/24 please?
dont step on my blue,,,,,shoes

praise, they're both a type of leather, the su6 is plural
don't know why I didn't see that
tw
and I love those kind of shirts too
same way i cant get the su7,32,,,clue means nothing to me
su 7/32 - a rainy day is a su7/32 day
may i have a clue for an 8 please? ty!
ho8 - ones who bestow ho5
TO it is a condition where you can't pee
hahaha TO I read that as 'any 8' :)
well i wouldn't know anythng about that....i hit evry restroom in the mall today
LOL TO
ty praise
yw
sa6 after the scandinavian hot room?
sorry dan
don't have it
found it - like la6 leaf
I didn't have the scandinavian hot room, so thank you for that
fireworks! thanks all cluers
yw LadyN
sa - rhymes with "don't rest on your l*****s"

re 6/30 anybody
soemthing that is restitched is re 30
past tense of re5

and ty, praise
got it lady
clue for an8 please
condition where you can't pee--aussie
??
maybe someone else can clue it better
an8 = a+ person who looks after patients ... with an extra vowel in the middle of two consonants
that is how it was clued to me
starts with the same first 3 letters as the other 2
good clue lady
I wouldn't have known the condition...
I monkeyed it
I don't know this monkeying
I cant even monley it right now....
monkey even....
it's just clicking around trying different combos
till you find a word
monkey is where you play around with the letters, monkeying around
aussie the ending is like the candy that ET liked

Ahhhhh, fankoomuch praise, and all the cluers for that little monkey.....

I am missing the no5 after what the dog did to my nethers
Lady, all the no5's are connected to smelling....plural and past tense....

wow. nana be careful
I'd love to have some of your snow nana..... I want a white christmas !!

er 6 is like the expression her* and *** (not later)
er+en/4 for the er6
jbv it is the long snake like thing you water your lawn with.......water goes through it.
er 5 #2: is a plural word, almost looks like a cockney version of English word for sit-upon...
jbv it is plural of the ho 4 above.
stid fabulous clue. got it ty
thanks, stid and mkg - h's are done!
yes to er..... er6....sounds like old english for " at this time and place"
'twas a great clue, stid
how about the er five ten????????
glad the clues are working...
er 5/10 clued at 10:05
it's identical to the es 5...
stid cant get the er five clue.........dont know sit upon..............as in a chair? and what is cockney version? you drop cons?
ty stid. just got it.........ty
stid is the se6/18 as easy, lol
ty stid...
stid that is a funny word. havent heard it here. thannks for the education.
wow stid love your clues ...how about la 5/12 and la5/10 svp?
se 6/18 is se + r4
SU7? I'm not seeing anything even possible. Help,please.
la 5/12 is past tense the la 4/4
or, take the 5/10 above it and add a consonant
al 5 and 6?
gram when its cloudy this is not in the sky
what aboutr se 6.21?
su7 is without sol
then go down
TY
and hte la 5/10 is either the plural or the "beam of light" weapon
se 6/21 is plural the jewish passover supper
oh really?
se6/18
got the beams of light (3) but need the other 2 la's....
btw thx lady for su7!
al 5/18?
yw :)
are you finished lady?
i mean 5/10
take away a consonant
all la words from the beams of light word. just monkey and poof they are all there. all have same first four letters
al 6/18 is plural the 5/10
yes I am, Just1
oooo thx mkg will try
nice! wtg!
YAY LNatts!
i don't have the al 5/10
ty ty
my last word is the an 8, please.
ugh still 21 to go.........i really love grids with less than 150 words. so nice and quick.
al 5/10 is to be awake, or to "alarm"
anyone have t he na words? i have neither.
thx mkg...
If you have the al6/18, you should be able to get the al5/10
i don't have either of those words
the first 5 10 is plural isnt it
on the se
think of what you hang pictures with, mkg
AN 8 is a condition in which a person can't pee...
sounds like hammering a ***** into the wasll plus past tense
mkg...

AN 8: an + vowel + hooked consonant + es (plural)
thank you
yes, mkg
ne 5 is a funny word: remember the blue tiny people on tv, the ne*f*? so change the f to another letter.
with this many S in the grid, always a good idea to try plurals

sa 5/12: a hot, moist room often found in a sports locker room. When it's hot outside we compare it to a sa***
sa 5/18 is a person who uses a back-and-forth tool to cut wood
then plural for the 6/30
ty ty t y got it stid
ty got all sa words
I'm going now... have a good night everyone.

sweet dreams lady natts!
need two so words the 5 and 6 plz i assume six is plural.

e 5/5 in the corner
bottom right corner
ty got both stid.
adora: plural of the letter next to the E
e5 Like the curves on a mountain road
five left stid............

*holding breath for mkg*
two
*sweating bullets*
E + double consonant plural
two tr words left one an 8 ugh i am not good with those..............
adora, es + repeat consonant and plural...
LOL you need the tr 5/18 which is like the first tr 5/18
stid why do you say you are ten years old?
only different vowel...
then turn that tr 5/18 into a homophone for men's pants
because I don't like people to know my real age, mkg
i am proud that i am now finally sixty. yup. doing good at sixty. you look adorable so why not brag about it?
have second one need first one...............
AN8 an+5th vowel + **mind me later+ plural letter+2nd vowel+plural
LOL because I have worked in a field that emphasises personal security concerns. Too many people are hurt by leaving enough clues as to their real identities.
ok i give up. need clues for the first tr 5/18 and tr 8..................................
the first tr 5/18 sounds like the opposite of "lies/falshoods"
ok i got it. so is it really your photo or another person with babble shirt?
tr 8 is tr 4/8 + se 4/4
stid that requires two t s hmmmmmmmmmdont see it.
TR=2nd vowel+high point letter+plural
got the eight. super clue.
no, my photo -- I am not completely paranoid :-)
ok. very interesting. i dont have pic or any bio since i feel as you do.
i never paid cuz i dont want anything there............guess i should so i get clues on bottom but i use lickety.
it also makes it easier when I arrange to meet a fellow babbler. They know what I look like, so they can recognize me.
I need both lickety and the stats to finish. I am hopeless at these sorts of games
tr8 tr+ 2 letter word for hurt+plural+ immediate care at the hospital+plural
stid you actually meet blabbers? wow. i dont.
yes, have met hetty, Jillibus, Flosey, dilly (glad I did that before she died) and Ciocia Judy so far.
still not getting the tr 5/18 plz
wow. so many. nice. all from england?
anagram of the st 5/18?
no, Judy is back east, the others are Canadian
tr+2nd vowel+5 point letter+plural
also correspond with a few babblers occasionally
my bermuda flag is just because I long for a sunnier, warmer clime...

trers

ty stid.
****BOOM**** *****pop pop pop*****
Good night, all.
different places, mkg -- I live in the Pacific Northwest, and rarely travel far...
sleep sleep sleep. hubby wants me to come to sleep.......anyway so where do you meet other babblers?
oh i lived in seattle years ago and miss it still. super place. super people. super everything. would return to seattle in a sec, but kids are now grown and here in east coast and one in israel.
depends, mkg - if I learn they will be nearby, we arrange to meet. We have enjoyed meeting them all (almost forgot I met raelite once too)
well, if you ever come out this way again, please let me know.
I hope that you sleep well, mkg -- we can talk again soon I hope
and I should leave also... good luck everyone! *poof*
where in northwest? i want to see portland one day and do the oregon area. hubby and i want to retire at 70 and get a camper and go all around for a year or so.........i cant wait.......we spoke about doing that when we met 35 yrs ago........i just pray we are healthy enough to do it. one never knows. but we have done much of it already in pieces. went to grand canyon and hiked it. did yellowstone, spent 3 months camping around the us one fall, and did canadian rockies, of course wash state and did alaska cruise. want to do more but must retire first. now busy helping kids with their babies and need to help them get houses and settled. then we are free..
oh stid i wrote you such a long letter and you are gone................
no, I am here mkg...
ahhhhhhhh just looked at your pics.
yes, I have had friends who have done the same thing mkg -- they like to travel and see all those places. So hard to wait to do it, perhaps someday you do as my parents and in-laws have, and take some of the grandkids with you on a few excursions

hi jac
Hi, folks.
Hi Jac!
Hi Jac!
I have 13 left and am a bit too tiddly to find them. Help needed please :)
Hi Jilli!
oooo ty I got it!!!
anything for you jilli
I still can't get back on the archives for 20th December. Never mind!
se5/10 first one?
that's one I need too, dr
tiddly is acceptable, since it's Christmas, jilli. *grins*
think Passover dinner dr
Spanish 'mister'
I have that one- I need the 10 not the 12 please
sorry...that's the 5/12.
See Jac's clue
Thanks Jac
thats ok dan... no problem
y/w, dan.
and DR...
how do you figure out what things mean like 5/12... i am so missing the code
jac, it's all atalante's fault -- got her gift of bloater paste today and had to use a whole bottle on melba toast with my vodka(s)
adorable - click on the 'help' section above or on Angelsong's page below left.
Oh lol, jilli. Ata's fault... of course!
so I certainly deserve fish for missing the spanish guy
what kind of vodka jilli?
because if you need some more, i think I have a couple of bottles of Skyy around here somewhere...
mistress - i received you card and letter today - thank you so much!
\Ren - glad you got them. I hope your enjoyed them?
you* not your. It's late/early here. LOL
Smirnoff -- for a treat I use Polish potato Luksusowa
oh, Skyy is nice too, dan :)
I don't think I have any of that around here, but I'll look...
jilli - you do realise that you can't blame Ata though? FMitch is the official taker of the blame on Babble. (See BabAnon thread.)
and mine should have been your - not you....i'm a suuny side up egg tonight
Nope...just Skyy. Vanilla or plain?
jac... i still don't get it... prob. something i have to pick up as i go along i guess lol
Plain and pure please -- no hokey flavours thanks
Fireworks!
Lila...ad5/10 means that the word starts with ad, is 5 letters long, and is worth 10 points
BabAnon, General, 'Babble Land Roles & Responsibilites', jilli.

dainty sip -- thanks dr
hi i am a first time player fr new zealand found you in stumble upon
thanks adorable!
adorable - your name (the bit of it I've typed, that is) would be ad8.55. That means it begins with the letters 'ad', is 8 letters long and is worth 55 points (because 8-letter words are the tile points added up multiplied by 5).
yvw
welcome abbydoo
abby -- there are other kiwis here
Danf- has bedlam returned to the household now?
DR, are you guys coming over tomorrow night for my late birthday party?
o thats cool.. but how would you know how many points a word is if you don't know the word?
now for se6/18 please
thanx i am a very keen online scrabble player too but i am not too fond of the scrabble site not too friendly
Ren - re the assignation of roles, I think it was thrashed out in the chatlog. I wasn't there at the time.
...and bedlam never left
se6 is most se4/4
So Sorry to hear that!- Not sure about tomorrow night- will talk tomorrow
merci mille fois, dan
Lila...you add the points on each letter
worm
you're welcome jilli
9 left -- tr5/10 and tr6/18?
oops mistake
we all have done it, abby ;)
tr+singular, then plural
Jilli- tr+# before 2
some of me more than others of you
great, dan & dr, lol!
Yes, it is a fact of the game I think
second ul4/5? Is the ul5/12 the pl?
I'll add the pertinent facts from the help section. Read them again and learn... OBJECT To list as many words of the highest point value as you can find among the random assortment of letters in the cube grid. PLAYING Search the puzzle board for words of four letters or more. When you find a word, add it to your list using the form below the puzzle. Words are formed from adjoining letters. Letters must join in the proper sequence to spell a word. They may join horizontaly, vertically or diagonally to the left, right, up or down. No letter cube, however may be used more than once within a single word. TYPES OF WORDS ALLOWED The only words that are allowed are those that can be found in the Enable dictionary. You may look for any type of word - noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc. Plural nouns are acceptable, as are all verb tenses. Words within words are also allowed. (e.g. revolt and volt) TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary. SCORING AND WINNING Every night at midnight CT, the day's puzzle closes. The high score list for the day will then appear showing everyone's total score. SCORING Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word: 4-letter word = 1 x Points 5-letter word = 2 x Points 6-letter word = 3 x Points 7-letter word = 4 x Points 8-letter word = 5 x Points 9-letter word = 6 x Points Example: Word: BABBLE Points: 3 x (3+1+3+3+1+1) Total: 36 pts.
ul4/5 is a bone, and yes the 5 is a plural
IT is a bone in your arm and then plural
Geez- We are thinking alike... sorry
My goodness Jac...that was a LOT of typing!!!
ty guys -- should have got that
ul4 = arm bone. ul5 is plural.
LOL, Dan. C&P is wonderful!
yvw Jilli
abbydoo, adorabella - only 12 minutes left on this grid -- then the puzzle will change to a new one for the next 24 hrs - so don't get hung up on completing this; just go with Jac's instructions.
DR did you photoshop your icon?
Good Point JWR
yup i know! I'm not worried about it... i've found 115 so far
What does that mean?? I saved it on my computer
4 left now -- last us4/5?
thanx DR -- good for you, ad
Aloha babblers!

DR = dan is asking if you used a program to make your icon or alter one you found.
Hi FRAN!!
Hi Fran!!
hi frannie
hi dr! hi dan!
hi jilli!
hey hey frannie
OH!- I found it online
hi jac! hi rennie!
lasdt us4/5 means 'takes advantage of or utilises'.
hi fran
Hi, Fran.
Jacula -- did you just think that all out? Or do you have it copy-able (if not, please do ... it will save a lot of explaining to newbees)
I hadn't seen those two together before...I thought you "fixed" it up
dorens, first 3 letters of the "rear end" + a peanut butter cup less an E.
nm, got the us4/5
I do not remember where I found it either...
thanks fran
yw dorens
wr4/8, pls?
jilli, a bird
jwr - all you do is click on 'Help' above then highlight what youwant and click on copy. Then you paste it into the chatlog.
wr4/8 is a small bird...usually grey or brown i think
wr - little brown bird
jwr, what jac put here is up in the Help section

Little brown bird is wr4.8, jilli.
Thanks, Fran. I just pinched him from a friend on another forum.
hoo boy, another fish!

e + not laters is the 5/18
hello flo!
hi jill
e + not unusual without the al is the 5/12

Hi melissaa!
Hi Dee!!

wr4/8s eat wo4/9s. it's the way of the world
hi dan

I've finished this grid but I have had the problem I mentioned over last couple of days.
last one anyone? tr8,60
hasn't happened to me Jac
can't remember the guy in Cheers except no4/5
tr8/60 is a Weird way of spelling 'pants'.
im new to this haha and im so stuck! =(
that's the one jilli, add an e in front
I thought so Jac - one was a w4 but I haven't kept track.
tr8/60 = tr5/18 before it + "ummmmmm's" word
i only have 18 words
I minute and I need that 1 word -- en5/12!
ty Jac,danf
