Yeah, jilli. V12 of BBExpert.
moon -- just read the great story in your profile -- thanks
You're very welcome. It makes me feel better, too =)
when did that happen? I was away over Xmas -- just got back this afternoon
are the cr 6 7 and 8 related somehow?
I mean V12
About 2 weeks after I joined. I'm not sure exactly, tho.
how is v12 different from 10, i'm still on 10 here
i got v12 a few days ago...i was still using v9 before that
he 7
I don't know, sorry HK. I've only used this one.
I have V11 I think
Heya Ru.
ok jilibus - don't worry - not that much different
i never used 10 or 11, so I can't say
guess I'd better email Lickety for V12
I think he said he's already working on 13, tho, so you may want to wait.
was waiting for v13 to send an email out to everyone - so it's got something beefy in it.
that's our tireless lickety! gotta luv him :)
See? He's just like that, it seems lol
ok, I'll wait -- V11 is great anyhow
th 8 45, if it hasn't been called yet

helo>
I hate re words, grrrr >-[
hi herin
Jill how many re woords
welcome back lady...are the clothes dry, or should i continue to keep my eyes averted?
lol great fa7
17, herin, grrrr
Clothes are on the line. Im in shorts and tee shirt and i loves my new microwave
Ok thanks Jill for the heads up
ha 7 been called?
compound, maniac?
yea
ty mitch
ty, but haven't got it, lol
no ha7 called before, nan -- at least I don't think so
I have a new microwave and it rocks i think its going to save me pain and heat in summer
fa 7 = "overweight cranium"
ty ace, lol
microwaves are super IMHO
omg. thats a word?? But rugrat isnt??? wtH
NO way that is not a word. If rugrats wasn't allowed why was that one.
SNap MOON
LOL I'm glad I'm not the only one, sometimes.
brb
JIll its a new 32 litre LG Microwave round insides so it is really big
I have a Womans Weekly microwave cookbook that im playing with as we speak
moon - fa7 has been in use as a compound for a lot longer than "rugrat" (or "rug rat")
pr 7
Thanks Ace for that one
but Still, ace. They accept "new" words every year. That seems somehow backwards.
yw lady
i don't know about that ace...i remember calling my brother a rugrat 30+ years ago...
moon - #shrug#- i'm not in charge of the dictionary :-(
what about butt he/45
dan - you were calling him a rug rat ;-)
I am so spoiled this year. I got a shiny new camera and cash from my parents. My b.fs parents gave us cash too so we bought a new microwave. Im in geek girl techno heaven
pr 7 is "make believe"
i don't think enable is really a dictionary...i think they just put some letters together and CALLED it one!
ok, well that Is a sobering thought, right there. I'd have been lynched by now if *I* were in charge of the dictionary lol
he 7, if not called
My brother did have kind of a pointy face as a kid, though
pe 7 more boggy
its a dictionary in the sense of a list of words... the all supposedly do have meanings but enable itself is just a list
I believe I use words like "ginormous" all the time.
Moon so do i.
half way
no use arguefying about it ;-)
see? A Machine! wtg nan.
ugh im only at 82
i'm only at 83
slow and unsteady here with a mere 65
but i am proud... i havent opened lickeys page yet
I have but haven't used it yet
OH my that is sooooo tasty
I'm about to open it. If I dont then Dart will definately kick my booty.
what's tasty, herin?
Macaroni and cheese in the microwave
If he hasnt already =P
oh, yes, herin, lol!
wish the 2nd half was as easy as the first!
i want cheetos!
I think magic mac+chees tastes the best. I just shows up when I'm hungry. An I give the hubby a hairy eyeball.
too true cybernan - i got to 120 left and major stall
hiya ursh!
I'm stalled at 141 -- think I'll go and make a pot of tea.
i want some of those French pancakes... in flaming orange/brandy syrup... with ice cream...
oh good idea - nan will join you
I made it from scratch I use Turkey mince instead of beef also too hot to use the oven
I feel so inferior, but then I'm also listening to BBC news and now CTV ditto
Ace i want the cr? in my icon
Ok. You're all gonna make me Hungry.
you lot are always talking about food!
I need to put the recipe up on my freewebs page
lady - exactly!
hello ossie
heya oss!
Oh, jilli. That's silly. How could you possibly feel inferior, when you've got "The Looks" in the family??
Hi Ozzie
hiya helen!
hi jili!
Evening ossie
haven't found the cr 8 yet.. thinking
hi helen - Mom still doing great - hip no problem - sadly the rest of her body is still 87 yrs old
hi herin!
g'day moon!
What? "The Looks?" You mean my grandkids?
what's the theme for the pic today?
Its stinky hot here there is no way known to mankind i am putting on that dratted oven
Well, I dont notice anyone else twinkling like You are right now =)
A Word from the Grid, Ossie
herin, it was 44.2C here on Wednesday
ursh - that's great! so amazing, been just over 2 years for me, i feel so good, i decided to skip the 2 year check up, may do it after the holiday though
oh ok jili thx
ditto here herin - very humid and not yet 9.30am
oh, I see, moon -- thanks, lol!
I did see that Ossie glad you are ok there
survived, unlike some
They say old age is all in your mind. And your body. But just those two things.
its 33 C / 91 F right now.
old age is just mind over matter - if you don't mind, it doesn't matter
hi hot hot hot ossie
ace, to a degree ;)
the problem moon is that your mind gets annoyed with you body's inability to keep up
its snowing here =D
Oh I know. I figure that's why it's best that it's just in those two things. =)
jilli - i turned 60 a couple of weeks ago. (i could have sworn i was just 45 last year...)
Actually, ursh, in all seriousness, I understand. We're going thru something Very similar with my Greatgran, right now.
hiya westie! thought you''d fallen off the plant west!
Except she's 98.
no I'm still here just getting over the holidays
Drools on keyboard
ace -- same here about being 45, but I turned 80 in May
it 7
98, wow.
jilli - wow. i guess it's true about word games keeping your mind sharp!
Jill as sprite says I want to be like you when i grew iup
98, and the very First bone she's ever broken is her hip. And she's b**chin cause she broke it at Aerobics =P
ace, it's about the creaky bod, tho
it 7 X2
it 7 = to recurse
lol moon - that's amazing
So we're hearing all about the frustration. I empathize, ursh.
moon, yay for your great gt-gran
jilli - i have friends who are half my age who have worse health problems. i'm just fat and out of shape.
Well, I suppose it would be, HK. If you didnt have to hear the cursing lol
She was married to a sailor and it SO shows.
hello everyone
Mornin Lynxx
My b.fs grand pa is 85 even he has stated that he is too cranky to die. he rocks hes a lecherous old man.

That's kinda good, tho Jilli. Way to stay on the right side of the dirt! Good Job!!

I seem to recall a quote like that. I grok. lol
Well congrats i am half your age and feel about 60today
oh, go ahead and make fun of us, ice - we'll just beat you at the game ;-)
What can I say. I come from a long line of irreverant people who make a habit of instilling bad habits =P
Jilli -That's your grandson on one of yr Flickr shots? He has got a great face and I imagine is a lovely person to know
Only as young as the person you feel
lady - i understand. i know people in their 20s and 30s who have arthritis, fibromyalgia, asthma, high cholesterol, high blood pressure - i even know a 30-something who had a stroke.
woah.. someone my age does play... but i feel my age of 30 lol

Nite DA4
argh, I am sorry. Hope the sinbin is filled up, likely to blunder more today...
is this one better, jilli?
hi fran!
di** von teese
sprite, I found chocs in the sin bin earlier
I think Ill work my vocab back up here for a while before i attempt to take on such a pro in another wordgame... at least here I can get fireworks on occassion ;)
Fran, I have 3 out of 6, sigh. I even found a kn!
will keep you company in there sprite
hm, jilli, that means they are gone, if you have seen them before me... let's see what is left.
i didn't have the kn sprite, i'm up to 5 out of 6
lynxxx will ,...that is
She certainly is. From the Fredricks of Hollywood site
moon, it's prettier, but......still tr8????
ka4 x 4 and kn4
lol icepyro, I am not that good with scrabulous, but I enjoy myself immensely there.
I love tr8. Great word!
sprite, I just looked at facebook today and must apologise for not responding to so many goodies! Been away and before that was too busy to look at it
ha! sprite regularly kicks my butt pyro! she's very good!
Yeah, jilli. It's not just prettier, it's tr8 =) (they rhyme)
thanks, moon -- didn't realise that was a word, lol!
Kity is finally attacking the scratching post
no problem at all, jilli, let's use facebook as a relaxing fun thing, not as an obligation! *hug*
ugh.. ive found tr9 but not tr8
there's a tr9?
good kitty, herin! When mine got around to using it, it saved a lot of furniture!
totally different word ice
woot, wtg icepyro, I still need that... am being slowed down by those &^%%$#@^#% Ks.
I gave up the ks lol
yup. 4 - 9 words today.
for now
I am a K-o-phoob.
sprite, maybe we have different ones, i have ka4/9, ka4/8 x 3 and kn4/8
ill go back to the ks when i get around to giving up and opening licketys page
whee -- only one K to go!
I have a kn5
how many points jilli?
20
fran, I just found kn5/20. You have more ka words than I.
snuggles
Got all the Ks :)
the nice thing about finding a word is not having to look for it anymore
yayyyyyy jilli! My inspiration!
go jilli :)
duh, that kn5 was the most normal word!
done with Ks!!
so true, babrab -- especially ks and REs
hey BabbleRabble, good to see you. I guess... but with Babble and its hiccups it is quite possible to find a word and still need it. Those moments drive me bananas.
hi babrab!
one more ka to go.
go sprite go!
oh, found an re9 in that vicinity
gogo sprite!!!
later gators back later
bye lady!
hello peoples when you get driven bananas, do you have more a peel?
bye herin
later infernal!
groan, babrab!
ha ha babrab!
I thought the a peel was that they were easier to laugh at =)
LOL BabbleRabble. I think that would be in the eye of the beholder.
and Fran: done! *big sigh of relief* Now for some real babbling.
Evening BR
{{{{applause for the K'o'phobe}}}
good riddance to the Ks, sprite!!!
no laughing at the bananas
yay sprite!
*takes bow*
lol, banana4, you are the exception.
Ok, can we giggle a little, please, banana?
well.....hmmm....just a little
Yeah for bananas!
rane
i must get to bed, so you can do all your laughing at bananas now....lol...gn ev1
I think I better not tell what I am gonna do to some bananas in a little while...
not valid, Cat, and hi to you :)
lol sprite
night banana
Nite nana4
night nana!
hi cat!
good night, banana
oooops so sorry! LOL Hi everyone :)
Hiya Cat9
Hi moon! Fran, sprite and everyone else :)
*grins at Cat* Good to see you!
Welcome to "everyone else is doing it too" night =)
You too, sprite, how goes it? :)
LOL, moon!
with a banana, woof?
not bad, considering, Cat! And you?
with a banana... with da4s with sprites. Everybody's doin it! =)
I am in the grid twice, guys. I found ra6/18 as well
I'm ok, have a horrid cold, came down with it Xmas day. But, wouldn't be Xmas without me being sick :i
aw Cat! *hugs* and lots of healing vibes your way.
THanks, sprite! :)
hope you're feeling better soon cat!
aww, thanks Fran! :)
hm, never had sprite in my smoothie... it is a thought!
I'm not sure ra6 counts just for you, sprite. Let's be serious, now.
ah well, you might have a point there. Th4 was me being egotistic :)
hehe i think that may be more for me the other nite
lol icepyro, woof is totally right, we all ra4 here every now and again.
Time for bed -- see you tomorrow I hope! Night all...
night jilli! sleep well
*hugs* for jilli. Sleep well, special lady.
ugh my brain hurts... i just want one more word tho so i can say i did half the page without lickety's page for help... just one more word
niterz jilli
let me see, icepyro... do you have the lowest point?
xoxoxo *poof*
we also cr6 friendships, di6, fr5 out, fr4, ga6, ha4out, ha5 (lurk), get ir5, it7 when we're not lurking, amongst other things that we do here =P
Niter Jilli
and that is only the beginning, grin... well put, woof!
thx moon!
I especially like the di6 lol. I would have made that my icon hint if I could have thought of a good visual.
yw, ice
i was missing the fr5 lol
lol, blind spot, pyro!
fr5 =P
woof, is your it7 the one that makes the re9?
and no... dont have any low points unless its one of the words I guessed but am unsure of the meaning :P
na5 is lowest point
yea. Sadly.
dont have any na =/
ne 6 is quite low too
i'll be back in a bit, thanks for those words moon!
and sprite!
ouch, sprite. that's terrible lol
yw Frannie. It's all for you. cya, soon.
*goes hunting for the ne6 now*
bye Fran, have a good one! *hug*
i have ne6 i think,,,
ah, found it. Good one, BabbleRabble, thanks.
I think I have been there
morning everyone
Morning girl
pyro: arabic for opposite. Astronomy word. Exactly opposite of the zenith. BabbleRabble: I am certain of it. Might even have met you there ;)
welp, I know one word Im gonna have to learn today... i dunno any low points that start with na ... or im so braindead that i cant figure it out
hi cool
Hello, cool
looking forward to a new year
th4 is the spirit, cool. Let's make it a good one.
now th4 I come to think of it... I live there. In the lands of ne6.
blip
blip?
er ok that was weird
page goofed up on me... btw thx sprite
what was, icepyro?
yw icepyro... was it a new word or just a temporarily blank spot?
Ive heard the word before, but I had forgotten about it
I must be off, to physiotherapy. Back later today, you all have fun and a good day/night/whatever *hug*
take care
good luck and be well, sprite
cya sprite. Have a good day. Take care.
ok 128 on me alone and the wonderful chat here.. I think its finally time to open some clues
Good idea, ice. It helped me Tons.
Then again. I guess that's the nature of clues =P
argh... the worst part of clues is finding words that are part of other words
How so?
and saying to myself 'why didnt i see that one before?'
Oh. I actually think that's a good reminder to practice lol
no use is served to berate yourself for being human enjoy the success and scuttle the rest
There's that too. You've just started playing, ice. And it seems like the point of playing something might be to have Fun.
oh i didnt mean it as to berate myself... I said argh with a smile... its just somewhat amusing to have all different words that have a common base but forget the base
and im having lots of fun challenging myself... just doesnt seem like it at times
morning all, just had to say if it wasn't for the chat this wouldn't be fun. Even if you're not contributing at the time you still feel part of the big babble family
Good then. But dont get down. Just take a break, or something =)
Morning chrissie
Hello, ChrissieDee
I like the family part. I'm becoming attached. It makes it seem so much less like "addicted" =D
I'll use that moon - I'm attached to Babble lol
Feel free. Sharing is "family" lol
lol 'Im not addicted! Im just thoroughly attached!'
I prefer "very" attached. It's accurate and quicker to type... That way i can converse and get words when noones looking.
babble abulia
Running out of steam BR?
nope ... in the home stretch
Good job. I figured you would be though. You seem pretty quick.
abulia why then?
BR what does abulia mean?
abulia = loss of power (basically)
Oh mahn. Ok I'm thick. nm BR. Musta meant loss of will power.
thanks moon
people say they are not addicted or attached ... abulia I use to mean they have lost the power not to continue play an, in fact, are addicted
Nice. I'm trying to do a grid, and my ability to comprehend anything but tiles goes out the window =P
I get it, now, ty BR. I was tile stricken.
I was in denial for ages, didn't go pro 'cos it was just a phase - hah. Now freely admit I am "attached" to babble
Good for you. I'm attached, also. I'm going to miss it on the days I wont be playing. But that will just make it nice to come back to.
I have to admit, though. I went pro because I couldn't stand being without a "face".
as you all have said, I find enjoyment in coming to a place where people care to test yourself at a game in the manner you choose.
I did it the day after my first puzzle.
beautifully said BR
I also find it entertaining to see what "flavors" people who are "self challenging" come in.
The chat makes it a nice addition to the game. It's people watching I don't have to leave home for.
so we are really anthropologists
ok its 2am... i got 30 mins til definite bedtime but first i think i will take that break
Or voyeristic sociologists?
Going to bed, then, ice?
how far have you got with the list ice?
he must have meant "right Now" lol
100 to go
no, I'm sure he'll be back before bedtime
see, told you
Good for you. You can always come back later, ice.
actually, unless gives mea decent break, i will have 1 hour before flip by the time i can come back
unless work ...
well, by then you can also check todays log for clues, instead of asking for them.
Might save time, but I dont know...
sorry im eating cereal
at least there will be plenty of clues in the chatlog by then ice
moon, I see we use the same tactics
I actually, havent done that, yet. But I figured it could. Ata reacted very strongly. There was a Big oops yeaterday morning.
If Lickety doesnt do it for me, I prefer to go pull out the dictionary. It's lots more work, some ways, but gratifying.
The one thing I've learned so far, is that everyone does it their own way =)
moon, what do you mean about the strong reaction. Does Ata not approve of taking clues from the chatlog?
i have a wordfinder for when i get really stuck... I keep considering making a better one, but then i wonder if Id feel ok with using it since it would be closer to doing it for me than licketies or the dictionary
Hmm. Good question. I'm sure you'll figure it out, though.
Oh, no. But it was a BIG oops. Somehow someone managed to accidentally put their entire word list into the chat log.
So we both started entering random stuff to get it off of here.
Going to look it up is your choice, but getting on and having it Right Here, without any choice, is different.
hiya all
OMG - just looked at yesterday's log and see what you mean
Hi - I'm back again. Ata wasn't upset though, just entered several times to get the 'accident' off the chat page - I've done the same my self on a few other occasions
When I say "strong reaction" I mean that Ata is one of those people who plays to learn and do it Herself. She'd just started and she couldn't "unsee" it.
Hi Hodag
Hiya hodag and wb Lynx
Right. Like Lynxx said.

hi sprite
Its hot here im pretty sure i need a shower before bed. Hi sprite
I think I am starting to menopause. Seriously. Never sweated so much before in my life!
the grids a bit slow today
in reacting on words or in letting you find them?
on words
Dang its warm and i need sleep soon I guess i shouldn't have eaten that choc berry banana split
sin bin for you, lady...
What did i do now. I have 94 words so eh?
ea5 is in the grid.
opps
lol
sorrrys its getting late
it is noon here now, but I am not so bright myself either
But we loves you sprite
omg... which I just proved... *runs herself to sin bin*
ty sprite
lol sprite!!
am very verrrry ashamed now
If it makes uyou feel better i can't even see your error
Hello again - thought a couple of hours break would help with the last 120 - but noooooo
lol ursh
scroll down for a few of them... ;)
lol ursh!
tx will do
Hi Ursh
herin ei6 in message posted at 4:58 by sprite
just try all my words, lady, I promise one will take...
hi ursh
one row grayed
thanks
wtg lady
Very hot here too herin and I find sitting still makes my feet swell
Im about to migrate to shower
finally getting a move on here. Now if my family can let me be for one single quarter of an hour....
Sprite put up a Mummy's busy sign
I was trying to have breakfast here. They came in and demanded my attention 5 times already. Just now one knocked again and I yelled NOOOO! It is very quiet now, behind my door :)
clue for the cr8 please?
oh dear Sprite you in a mood?
I can't bear it if they don't give me space to breath, is all.
cr8 testing or rules for something
can i have the 3rd letter mva
i pink
Funny thing sprite - all of a sudden one day they all grown up and give you too much space
I don't think so, ursh. I like space.
Sprite i guess sometimes MUM MUM MUM MUM MUM drives you nuts
too true uesh!
absolutely, lady. I tell them: go grow a brain, think for yourself! Argh. Sometimes I am definitely not the motherly type. Perhaps even never.
You are a great Mum sometimes kids just don't want to think
thanks lady :)
i cannot see this cr8 is it a "normal" word
I really mean it
criteria
it is, pink.
it's so easy to get someone else to think for them sprite!!
ah, wonderful clue, lady, LOL
oh opps shoot
LOL
good clue herin!!
too true, MVA! And I refuse. I want my kids to be self dependent.
look, I did not say anything when there was a request for a 3rd letter. But I HAVE to draw the line somewhere, right? :)
told you i was sleepy. OH my gosh cat is rabit sleeping
how can something be more like a pancake th4 others?
cos enable says so!!??
i think it refers more to the skin on my neck sprite
you've got it, MVA. And ursh, wouldn't th4 require a double vowel?
or maybe around my eyes??
around your eyes??? Now I have to look it up.
sometimes you make a bad pancake sprite, then you hide it with the more pancake like pancake. the first one always comes out a bit dodgy!
double vowel or double consonant both yuck anyway
awwwww of course! Thanks :)
*checks her list to see which words can possibly be more so too*
though i agree its an odd word, especially when something cannot be more moose like
isn't it weird, that the first pancake always fails? Same with me.
got to go now, happy bbling, bbl
yup - but mr fishbulb always gets the first one in this house ;) i pass it off as manners, but really i just want the second, more pancakier pancake
right - time for me to dash - bbl guys
lollll you have sorted th4 out very well, will remember it!
bye MVA and Fish
and I am off too, grid is done, now I am gonna see what was so urgent :) Bet it has solved itself already.
Laters Sorry i was taking pics of the kitty. Sooo cute. paws in air being dead
Is anyone still here?
I'm passing throught Herin
How are you?
*through*even!
I'm well - doing a jigsaw at the same time so doing neither well
Oh how many peices?
someone here told me about www.jigzone.com awesome don't go to the shop if you don't want to loose a lot of money
1000 - But I think I have 10001 as one doesn't fit the edges!!
I don't take it seriously as we have 3 cats !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
oh thats odd.
OH my gosh sorry my cat is being bloody cute
It either wants something or it's done something - trust me
Its really hot so the cat is being stretchy and dead on the floor
My 3 are huggled under the radiator as it's cold
Love how they go "dead" in the heat - mine on my bed belly up under the overhead fan
Heater hugs
i have new pics from new camera about her being dead
Coffee made bbl

di 7,36 clue please
bfsog, did you find the th8?
yeah thanks
yw
morning all
I found my di. Was a clue given for the tr 8? I could use it.
hi diem
di7 - to the previous di4/6 add a period of time
tr4, to fall, tr8 - you lose your balance more than me
ty
hi there Haz
tr8/50 - relating to the greater loss of balance, some suggesting the effects of halucinatory drugs being the cause.
Good morning all - and peri, you're in the grid again!
so I am
Haz, how is Spangle's foot
She's much better, thanks, peri. Husband has her out for a long walk this morning.
good to hear Haz
haz i dont have the di4/6 for the 7?
got it, ty
Just add a consonant to the end of a three letter verb, to put in and out of water quickly.
got the di7 thanks Haz
The di8 is descriptive, peri of the di7.
Good morning kids!
Hi three my Noggin friend
Good morning Scrabbler. A nice grid today.
I am not finding the di8
I just played, Periwinkle, and got in the top 10, I think #10.
Good for you, Scrabbler
Put the consonant on the end of the di7.
ok must be trying the wrong consonsant
i and my girlf are seeing I Am Legend tonight, so excited!
got the di8 thanks Haz
Glad you found it, peri.
more than half, need a break, bbs
It has been like my many, bfsog. I avoid move theatres and wait til films are on DVD.
See you later, peri.
Diem are you there?
It is nice to not have an S and have to remember to pluralize every word.
We'd be here all day if there were an s.
i will get it on dvd too, lol, i am addicted
it's getting mixed reviews over here bfsog
yes katie but the grid says you are not found,merry x mas,thanks for the vidios
Merry Christmas to you too, did you like the vids?
I tried "kate" as well.
katieW - i am closer to you than you think, and I have heard good stuff, albeit I havent really been seeking out revies, i prefer to make my own mind up
reviews*
theywere great
I know what you mean bf, I've been to so many movies that were suppose to be poor and loved them. You will need to tell us what it was like.
diem - as you can probably guess we had had a couple of drinks, but the singing moose was definitely a good buy this Xmas
yeah, from what i have heard its not a typical out and out kill fest, its got a shyamalan feel to it
An even 200 to go, and I shall return this afternoon. Time to get ready for a tennis match. Bye.
You and mari drink who would have thunk it
later scrabble :-)
I know diem, its so unusual in our family ;-)
Bye Scrabbler.
Oops, I found 2 more. I can never leave when I say I am leaving. :-)
Those with iron will click off the big red cross straight away.
i was told there was 254? i think, i want to get to around 150 before i use Lickety but its tough!
There are 254 words, you're right.
OK, 192 to go and I must go for real. Bye.
Bye Scrabbler.
I'm on Hubby2bs computer, much better than mine, hes now chuntering about upgrading mine..........must remember there's a wedding to pay for!!
yours? congrats, probably a late congrats but a congrats!
No bf it's not till May but everything over here needs paying for in advance so the cheques start in February ;-)
Sorry keep forgetting you are from here!!!
il go pick out a hat for your big day
We got the rings yesterday it was very exciting, and was the anniversary of when we got our engagement rings - it was a lovely day considering we both have rotten colds.
When you look back, Katie, the colds will not be the lasting memory.
Hi Haz, did you have a good Christmas?
Yes thanks - always a busy time in the kitchen for me!
katie w thats the first time we saw your 2be on the vidios.
Diem, please don't judge him, honestly he doesn't usually have antlers on!!!
Oh!!
Haz, I love the moment the dinner gets put on the table, when everything is clean and looks perfect, it makes all the hours in the kitchen worth it. I hope you got someone else to wash up
do you think there will ever be a day where my name (bfsog) will be in the grid
I'm a bit of a control fr5/24 when it comes to the kitchen but a dishwasher has been a wonderful investment.
I've been playing for over 2 years and it is the first time my name has ever been in the grid, so you never know
That day will come, bf, but you'll be worth no points, sadly.
mine has been in the grid numerous times
H2B got teatowels off his gran for Christmas as she said he should start married life on the right note. I've always thought she was lovely
LOL
Our daughter bought us 'Don'ts for Wives' and 'Don't for Husbands' as advised by someone in 1913. I, apparently am not to stop him singing in the bath.
I would not expect that tea would be spilled so often to require towels?
He, apparently, is not to take breakfast in his shirt-sleeves as it would be treating me with less respect than a house-guest.
Are tea towels known as drying cloths in the States?
Ahhhh, its the old language barrier again!!
towels are ... never heard of a tea towel
They are indeed cloths used for drying the dishes after washing up babble
And they must be laundered regularly lest the bacteria breed and contaminate. I have not forgotten all my hygiene learned at the course this year...
dish towels
It must be a British thing to include tea whenever possible. It's illogical when you think about it.
although they were also referred to as tea towels in my home growing up...just most folks call them dish towels (in my limited experience)
no such thing as yours or mine except kitchen sink and toolbox guess whos is who,s
now that I have been edified I thank you
i have 74 but think i need the list now!
my phantom word is driving me mad - retain
and theft
perhaps you might get off the agency that is transporting?
and train
good morning again babblers!
gm
Hello Nono.
Katie.... a wedding coming up, how exciting!
morning Nono
good morning all-i will be off/on today as i am at work
It's still some way off yet nono, however about to take over my life methinks :-)
hi Casey
hello, NoNO .... you will soon be done with this one
Katie the few months left will fly by quickly
just got a 9 all on my own, I'll say again just got a nine all on my own.....wahey
good morning all
I know nono, the last year has gone so quickly
Bear in mind Katie, that whilst it's an important day, it's just ONE day.
finished half of it earlier BR it is going nicely
Congrats Chrissie
Nice job, Chrissie
Good morning metaleather.
ty BR
yayyy Chrissie
Haz - when we were asked the theme I pointed out that it was to spend the rest of our lives together, seemingly they were expecting something like fairytales and castles!
clues for the 9s plz
woohooo Chrissy
got the th9 from a clue earler, any clues for the other 2 please
movieman, my boast was also a clue
enter
hi mmm
re9 - to emphasise a point again
tr9/66 - find the tr6/24 and add a picnic pest to the end.
Better go, got shopping to do, see you all later :-)
Katie - that's my pint as well - the day is only the beginning of your lives together, not a production! have a good day!
have a great day Katie
bye katie
haz i have the tr9 but i dont get your clue, unless theres more than 1 tr9?
th9/66 - descriptive of a pulse rate that is getting weaker and less easy to detect. It has sewing connections but we'll not go into th4.
Just the one tr9 - the picnic pest is often used to describe the last three letters - a kind of babble shorthand.
thanks haz, still trying to find the tr6.24
Fearless people are described as intr6/24. Take away the in.

Hello EvaNadine!
re8/40 - the picnic pest is either going to bed or picking up a pension
cute clue Haz, thanks
cr8/45 - the standards by which you judge your actions or decisions.
You're welcome, Nono.
thanks to you Haz, and to others as well, I have all of the nines and am past the half way mark on the eights
di7/36, leading to descriptive di8/50 - quickly follow a plunge into water with eye moisture, rearranged.
That's good metal. It seems to take ages to grey out the letters.
te8/50 - te, the first two letters of Mr Spector's first name (or Duke of Edinburgh), follow with the correct sounding ceremony.
Right, time I was getting some lunch. Happy babbling to all. I can hear the brains turning and the tapping of keyboards..... Bye for now.
'bye Haz, enjoy lunch, and thank you for all the wonderful clues
enjoy your lunch Haz

Hello again.
thanks Evanadine and thanks dcseain....you don't know what you've done...hehehehe
Hey Haz
hi, haz
Hello Uniquity and dc - must check out the icon...
the nice thing about finding words is that you don't need to look for them anymore, unless you want to
uliv, lickety's babble clues, link below the grid, gives a list of what you're looking for - First two letters, number of letters, total points - eg th5,12 - starts with TH , 5 letters, 12 points. Help link above describes scoring and how to play.
the grid is slowly but surely going dark....
indeed so, angel
solving grids is a reenactment of manifest destiny
LOL, BabRab. what an apt analogy :D
just noticed the serendipitous combination of HU and GA words in the lower left. :)
254 and FIREWORKS!!
Congratulations Nono!

Hi everyone....any clues please for tr8/50??
whoa, flask, if that question were any tr8, my head would explode
tr8 - one prone to tr4/5
tr8/50 - being more inclined to stumble, hallucinatory drugs coming into play.
DC ...excellent clue...lol.....thanks also to Haz!
over 20% of the words end in r today
R is the new S
Babble, you've obviously been finished for a while!
No S's..no O's...and no L's...all of which would be handy!

Thanks Merk just a different ending to the th6/24?
Clues: a lot of words end in ier and a lot have a th in the middle somewhere.
But how about the th8?
Time to go. I doubt if I see you tomorrow. I'll be in the air most of the day between here and California ... provided that these winter storms allow air travel. I don't want to get stranded in Minneapolis!
I got it thanks
The th 8 is my suit has more th than your suit so it is th 8
Hi everyone, back from the shopping :-)
Hi Katie, and goodbye. I have to leave. My grandson will be waking up from his morning nap momentarily. Bye everyone. See you in February.

Morining all! (or whatever time of day it is for you!)
an 5 is an _ that's ***ertainment
OH! I guess I could take my tree down now!
thanks I have one last a the a 6/18 can't find it.
good morning/afternoon, everyone
did you find your te 5/10 JBV? I have two of those if you still want a clue
morning cyber!
thanks Niamh, still need the second te 5/10 (not the fish)
niamh -- i still have my christmas icon up too. :)
last an ruru -- builds on the an 4/4 before it
I'm missing the ae 6/21 -- any clues?
ruru, an + the national an***m end in consonant
latin spelling of et5
the one I think of as a fish is my second one... kinda like the old game with the shapes that you fit together to clear lines? the first one I have is te + it ***ns a lot in Seattle
jbv, do you have the te that has to do with temperature
ty phaeton
lol Eva, I just took my tree down... :)
yw, cyber
thanks for the clues - but I have the temperature one and I have Seattle one, still missing one te 5/
sorry JBV, I tried! I'll let you know if I find any others!
I have that one pahe I need the last an 6/18 ...looking
oh well. guess im the lonely tree, then...heh
Do you have the one that really is a fish? te + ***vel plans often are changed last minute
yes, uni, I have that - isn't that the same as the Seattle clue?
nope, just found it!
I still have my tree up at home Eva, don't be lonely!!
thanks for sticking with me
Nope...I don't think so. Lemme look.
ok t's are done! thanks to all
no, it's not the same as the Seattle clue
Oh, yay! I am skipping the t'
s due to lack of interest. Sorry
di 7-8 combo?
don't have it cyber... sorry!
first it 7?
I don't have any I words yet... I just started :(
it7...to repeat
it7...to repeat
cybernan - it7/28 the first begins like the second but ends with a picnic pest.
ty haz
Thanks Haz...and Phae, that was funny!
lol phaeton! that's the best clue ever!
You're welcome.
I kept wanting the vagrant!
just saw that, it's a little bumpy here
does the pi 7 build on the pi 4/6?
Is the re8 more of something?
No, cyber, it's a combination word. Think mining
nm -- found it
cyberman can you give another clue for the it word
I need 2...tr8/50 and un8/55...any clues?
re8 - an insect either about to go to bed or to draw a pension.
un8/55 - un plus what the needle pulls in sewing.
thanks haz
I really think that re 8 is a made up word! What's wrong with the re 7?
tr8/50 - building on the stumbling tr4/5 - make it more.
cybernan - I agree!
haz -- do you have the di 7-8 combo?
thanks again haz
tr 8/50 woohoo
Yes, di7 - follow a quick plunge in water (three letters) with mixed up eye moisture, the di8 is descriptive.
hello all!!
Hello pinkhat.
thanks for those haz - needed them, too - do you have the an 6/18???
an6/18 - I think it's a flower part - change one consonant in the deer horn.
thanks haz, but tha'ts 6/21, still need 6/18
thats an 6/21
It's the pollen bearing part of the stamen (an6/18)
antier
oops sorry
ty haz
Sorry - follow latin against with the first letters of Mr Garfunkel''s first name.
haz the second part of the di7 can you help with the second part of that word i dont get it
thanks, haz, that did it!
is the pr 8 a "before" word?
Eye moisture is te4/4, you need to mix the letters up, MLF to get the second part. (last three will form a period of time)
pr8 is a before word, though indicating a past tense.
ohh ok haz ty
pitza are u there
i got the di7 woohoo
ty haz
That's good.
got it -- ty again haz
You're welcome, cybernan.
this grid has become a marathon

Glad it worked for you, cybernan.

Hi cnan and mlf. Glad to hear it Haz, not babbling right now but wanted to say *
hello. and not hit the enter key at the wrong time!
How did your festivities go?
hi mitch -- have you finished?
MLF one of the ep words is related to fencing/swords. don't have the others yet
mlf -- see my clue icon for ep 7
kero how many letters for that one?
Lovely thank Haz (in middle of writing you an email) No cnan not started yet.
4 letters
ep4/5 - a fencing sword, ep4/6 - ep plus half a laughing fence, ep7/36 - a word which may be applied to a quality in a person. (Richard the Lionheart for example)
ty kero i will monkey it hopefully lol
Hi again....a clue please for th6/24?
gpt the 4/6 ep
How is the grid today, a fun biggie (ish)?
th 6 24 = what a needle pulls
Hey haz....have you heard there's snow on the way?
It's a great grid, I think, FMitch.
thanks kero
Sticking fingers in my ears and hiding my eyes, Flask, I don't want to hear/see anything about snow!!
waiting for snow to go away here -- 4" overnight
and still snowing
just started here. supposed to get 4 inches today
lol....oh dear!...my apologies....:-(
whereare you kero?
So best avoid the weather forecasts?
Oh? may have to give it a go a little later. It's been facinating reading the chat on and off over the last week with all the snow and storms that people having ebeen getting. Made me v thankful for our relative calm. Hi Flask
I would if I were you!
now all i have to do is get the ep 7 out of those 3
Hi mitch!
hi, flask!!!
ep7 - e, the sort of place from which you dig coal (three letters), the definite article (three letters) wrapped up with a beverage sounding consonant.
Scrap that. You don't need the definite article, you need male personal pronoun instead.
Hey pink!!....are you well, my dear??
Anyone making a new year resolution or is that a dying tradition these days?
e - the coal face, the man, a consonant.
yes im much better thanks flask...you?
Am grand thanks!
I've never made resolutions, FMitch, and I'm not about to start.
Good for you Haz, your resolution is showing through.
shining through even.
playing on my new wireless laptop.....honestly i have no will power!!
haz what do you mean by a coal face/
LOL katie, is it good?
Okay, if not a coal face, a place where you might bury something. Joseph was thrown into one.
Or e, four letters of a part of a fruit, finish with a little alien who had to phone home.
ep 7: ep + first person singular + definite article + cross
help with the cr's?
I've decided to rearrange the grid so that there are de words...Haz could you clue some of them? :)
Hello Uni :)
a couple of them have to do with french pancakes, phaeton
grr
Hi FMitch! How've you been?
Would that be de6 words in particular?
That would be really fantastic, if you would?
Great thanks, sitting here munching Cookie Dough ice cream, life is good.
ti 6-7 combo?
Are you really? I am honestly eating choc chip cookie dough ice cream right now...I think you might be my unknown twin sister
good morning everyone
Yes I am really and it is the first time I have every had it! Hello lynxxx
It's not really a combo, cybernan. One differs from the first ti6/24 by the last consonant, the ti7 is a comparatively unsteady one.
hi lynxxx
hi lynxx
ti6 and 7 one who turns something over and then more so
Hows Stuart Little settling in lynxxx?
Good morning lynxxx. Australia rising already?
ty -- pass the fish!
Cookie dough ice cream is the best, hands down. Eat it often
Just fine FM.
Sorry Fmitch we were installing the mouse. It's great I can playbabble, watch tv and have crumble snuggle next to me on the sofa........all in all worth every penny :-)
Aren't laptops the best Katie? I adore mine..
I can't have icecream anymore due to illness but cookie dough was always by favourite
*grin* sounds like you have it all worked out there katie.
Its a new world uniquity, no more negecting the other half whilst finishing babble ;-)
*!* ta da ** -- thanks for the help, haz. Hilarious video today :)
hey uni--you went pro!!
Well, I neglect anyway as I am prone to saying "just a sec" every time he tries to talk while I am babbling...but I can sit next to him while I do it!
well done cybernan :-)
I had better go and put ice cream back in the freezer before I eat the whole thing, back in a bit. Congrats cnan!!
Congrats Nan !
Congrats Cyber! Hi Praise! Yes, Ata 'gifted' me as an XMas present! I looooove it
something over and then more please
ti 6 adn 7 thatis
that is pretty cool
Congratulations cyber.
congrats cyber
just clued, mlf
cyber yes i saw that but not making sense to me
mlf: the point of something is the ti* -- extend it for the others
ti7/24 - one who knocks something over. ti6/24 - a small fur scarf, ti7 one more inclined to knock something over?
Aha! Finally, I am halfway. This is an accomplishment in itself
If ti7 started with a d it would mean the more foolish one - or maybe just a duck that likes to dive.
or the first ti 6 is someone who leaves money for the waitress
i got a ti 6/21 woohoo
Guten Tag, babblers. Please dont tell me that my last word cannot be clued. I need tr 8/50 and have no more hairs to pull out. Help me please
Thanks Haz and cyber
It CAN be clued.
inge, if you have tr6/24, add an insect, often described as the picnic pest, onto the end.
tr8/50 adjective for being more clumsier
oops
i got the one who lives money to a waitress wooho
Sorry, that's tr9 I've clued, you want tr8....
woohoo
hello Inge & Espritd
leaves money sorry
esprit nailed it -- clumsier
tr8 - to the stumbling tr4/5 add the long promenade seen on beaches.
hi EJ, inge, lynxxx...congrats nan
hi lynxxie
da6? please
hey pinkie!
change last letter for the next one, mlf
da6 - the one who moves quickly?
i got the tr 8/50 already
ti 7: more unstable
'morning Pink
Thank you haz
You're welcome, phaeton.
clue for the tr6/24?
MLF - inge requested the tr8.
oh sorry haz i got confused
WWII spy, Stephanson -- the Man Called Intr****
tr6.24 fearless - as in 'your intr**** reporter"
tr6/24 - usually preceded by in (as in 'our intr6/24 reporters madeit to the front line to bring you this story
*Stephenson
Thanks for the tr 8 word, I got my fireworks and video and cam back to thank ESpirt and Haz for the help.
tyvm haz

mtl: when you go on vacation or stumble you tr 4 -- extend it to make it a more so adjective
Hello montreal - the end of it sounds like a lord, or an intense stare, but is spelled differently (pi4/5) put the stumble in front.
it was really lovely montreal, the food was SOOOOO yummy and everyone enjoyed there presents..
tx hazel - how are you ?

hi, all
nearly Mont - 31 left but listing
"listing" as like the Titanic ?
still cant get the re9
lol
to say something again pinkie
pink, do you have it7 (the second)? Do it again.
re9: to emphasize again.
it7/28 - with an L in front it would mean you can read and write.
thank you all esp. haz
Glad you've got it, pink.
I am blind to thee two U words
Then loosen your shoe laces, Esprit, so that you may see one.
oy fish me
un8 take the cotton out of the needle
And take the sewing material away from the needle so that you might see the other.
And with the miraculous restoration of sight to Esprit, I take myself off to the kitchen - bye for now!
bless you my friend
later hazel....
Bye Haz, thanks for the un7!
i thought the 9 began with "rep"...bye haz
46 left here...listing on the starboard side...
uni--did I ask if you had a good Christmas?
I don't know Praise, but we'll pretend you didn't! I had an awesome Christmas!
Afternoon, y'all. Uhg. Just cleaned hubby's shower. Oh, the humanity.
LOL uni I am glad
hi judi, and praise!!
Hi Judi
LOL judi
I had a good one too
And you Praise?
until Thursday when I came down with some kind of bug
hello there Judi !
still fighting it
sipping 7up and eating crackers
Aww, I am just getting better now...I wish you the same! Mine lasted over two weeks, I hope yours doesn't
Ooh, THAT kind of bug. At least I just had a cold
gae
yeah I guess it is going around here
yes KT ??
was at Gyne's today and she said that she was sick with it over Christmas
That stinks
yeah hubby and I have both had it
daughter is the only one that has escaped so far
Tell her to put on gas mask and accoutrements
LOL uni
saw your profile uni
Hey, I am just trying to protect the innocent! :)
you are younger than I thought that you were
I am a young 'un indeed. Usually surprises people, which I think is a good thing. My immaturity shines through with my love of changing it though, ;)
By 'it', I mean my profile
LOL I figured that one out uni
you come across as a lot older
you are younger than my daughter
yes praise...at least a 20-year old !
LOL montreal
Tee hee, just found fa7/48. Most amusing.:D
Lol @ Luc...way to burst my bubble. Everyone always told me I was a responsible kid...
well Uni, maybe you WERE... as a kid... but you are a kid no more !
afternoon all
Hi Jacula and Mom !
Weight of the world on my shoulders and all that? I'm a good in-betweener, I feel. Afternoon Mom! Good day?
{{Montreal}} hello
{{Uni}} hi, and yes a good day. How is yours?
Delightful, thus far. Taking care of some things and being suffocated by this grid :)
hi jac and mom!!!
I wish it were a smaller grid, but alas, it isn't so I will just do what I can.
{{Pinkhat}} hello
Uni, you will have it finished in no time
we all do what we can (((mom)))...
yes, but even halfway seems a long way off today
good grief I have 175 to go!
I am about 3/5 done...dragging it out, methinks
ta7 please!!
217 left here, Praise
dont have it pink...
more late than usual is the ta 7 I have, Pink
Not I, pink. Ohh! How were the birthday/Christmas celebrations with lil P?
was up at the flip (1st time in months) so i have only 38 left...
Hi Mom !
tx mom !
excellent Montreal, you will be finished soon
I've never seen the flip...I imagine it to be a beautiful event, involving rockets and banners
{{Lynxxx}} belated Merry Christmas
you're welcome Montreal
hey JAC. Just got the fa7...hee hee
they were lovely uni, she adores every present she received, the food was delish...we had a really good time
That's beautiful Pink, I am so glad you got a chance to enjoy each other
hey pink--I like your daughter's name
have never heard it before
Jac or Autumn, would either of you please clue the fa 7
fa - compound word, usually found in playground arguments....or a swollen ego
Uni, i will describe the flip as i remember it: minutes before, there's a mad dash for the late finishers to end before the ax falls; those already done come up with predictions as to the number of words the flip will bring... then the flip HITS.... people say things like "flipper, fliparooni, el flippo, flip-flop etc... then you get the claims: found a CR6, oh i got a re8, found the 9 !! etc - then, there seem to be restrictions as to "clue-giving" activities for at least a while... sorry Uni, no rockets nor banners...
Praise - her name is a combo of Cheryl and Marva- both her gran's names
thanks Autumn, off to look
that is neat pink--bet she is a cutie
got it, thank you
a cutie with a broomstick lol
LOL going through the terrible twos?
That actually sounds pretty entertaining anyway Mont! Maybe I will stay up for that one someday...
i used to be a night owl...but managed to change that this summer... so yesterday was a rare flipper for me...
yes, she's been doing the terrible 2 from about 20 months
lol
LOL I know a little one that sounds just like her
only I think she was born with the terrible 2s syndrome
I adore two year olds, no matter how terrible...2-3 is my absolutely favorite age
then you would love my little
whoops my grand Lauren
she is 3 going on 40
i think they are at there sweetest and you really begin to see there little personalites
at 2-3
my little cousin is two and I adore him to death...favorite member of my family. His imagination is starting...and he is so excitable and fun!
I think it is the development of a proper imagination that makes them so captivating...when the wheels turn and they suddenly seem to understan these amazing things
need to go do some chores, be back later tonight. Hugs to all of you. Bye for now
hubby and I have lots of little ones on both sides of our family
agreed - 2-3 years old is a GREAT age...
so there is never a dull moment
bye mommy!!
by mom
bye Mom
bye bye Pink Hat and Praise
Bye Mom!!
bye bye Lynxxx
bye bye Uni
bye Mom !!
All my brothers, as much as I love them...they were the best at two
bye bye Montreal
pink you can check out my girls in my profile
These are your "adopted" grandchildren? Or "legitimate" grandchildren? I remember you saying the other day...
they are just toooooo cute how old are they!!!
the older one Lauren is 3 and the smaller one Olivia (aka Sissy) is 16 months
well they aren't really mine uni
I just claim them as such
they belong to a good friend of my daughter
guess I adopted them in my heart
As long as you love them, you can call them whatever you want! I just wondered if your daughter had children
no she doesn't
isn't really serious about anyone at the moment
they are gorgeous praise....i get the feeling you want grand babies!!
I would love them
although my daughter keeps telling me that we aren't allowed to spoil them :)
I don't think anyone could resist the darlings in Praise's photo...I want to skip the kids part and go right to grandchildren! :)
I told her to guess again!! LOL
have been thinking about changing my icon along with the theme for the day
but would miss that pic too much
LOL
I was gonna go with the theme....but the Blues Brothers won for today at least...I love my Blues Brothers!
daughter is watching a marathon of West Wing
not my cup of tea
I've never watched...but it doesn't really interest me either

THAT IS SO A WORD!!!!.....Well it is a product.......nvmr
lil*monkey -- this is my third time of asking -- do you know about BabbleExpert?
no why? {is it obvious that i need it ????}
It's a great help invented by Lickety and prevents entering words in chat. Only for PCs, tho, not Macs.
a zillion years ago i dated a boy named sterling post, i always wondered if his ancestrs were jewelry makers, (he was the third)
It does a lot more that just that, too.
OK thanks jillibus... i will check it out :)
Just email Lickety and he will send it to you for free
i find lickety helpful, but try not to go there until i have 30 or so left to find
hi jilli! how does it do that? i have expert & am still screwing up chat, am i doing it wrong?
bethn, go up and use Lickety Add. If you type one word it goes to the list. More than one word goes to chat.
Yes, how do you get babble expert? Where is it?
bthn, i used to date a boy (eons ago) named Steve Martin (not the famous one)
monkey, you don't have to use Lickety's list -- you can hide it.
swbo, you just email Lickety and he will send it to you and explain all about it.
swmbo, love your icon pic...
thanks jilli, you learn something new every day! in my case there is a lot of room for growth!
She Who Must Be Obeyed !!! love it
I love your icon pic too, swmbo!
Jilli, i thought your pic was a pineapple until i clicked on it LOL
haha, I have been swmbo at another place for 9 years now. Another artistic member drew my icon. i don;t look anything like it though LOL
I love your profile too, swmbo
Thanks *blush*
I see what you mean, monkey, lol!
i'm not understanding why "thang" isn't a word... whatchoo talking about miss thang ???
Enable is an eccentric and capricious arbitor
annoying too
unfathomable and unpredictable
I doubt even swmbo can sway its entrenched ways
You are right, despite my name, I am seldom obeyed *sigh*
theta
DARN!!!
but then the kerfuffle enable engenders is part of the babble mystique
I must go have a late lunch -- seeyall soonish
thanks swmbo ... teehee
bye jilli
bye Jilli!
bye jilli
I should go too, time to start the evening meal. TTFN!

why isn't trephan a word
cause trepan IS
is that the spelling of the word that means to alleviate brain pressure ???

thank you
a standard of judgment or criticism is the definition Doren
oh, got it thanks niamh
glad I could help
how about a clue for the di 7/8 combo?
di 7= short swim (3 letters) + One trillion (4 letters) add a consonant for the 8
sounds kind of like an oldfashioned disease. minus two letters (the 7)
started this grid 15 hours ago, dipped in and out all day, still got 22 left, all Rs & Ts, lost the will to finish,....heavy sigh :-(
oldfashioned cause of the innoculation routinely given to infants, DPT shots

bethn...your clue is also for the re9
Flask would like to re9 that she is looking for the re8
i have the re9... is there an re8 too ??
Hi, all. Flask, RE + what men wear around their necks, minus the E (two letters) + **** and rave in a fit of anger.
flask, re+ someone that sounds like a despot
thanks for good clues for the re8
well that did it for me! thanks Scarlet and bethn!
:-) Way to go, Niamh!!
yvw niamh!
and thanks to Flask for being persistant about that 8!!
hi, back again - still a lot to go - can someone help with ar 6/18, please?
thanks Scarlet darlin'....and hi to you!
not done with the whole grid... just that re8! still quite a feat
{{{Hugs to you, dear!}}}
Niamh, I still have 16 left to find, and it's really getting murky... LOL
ar6= against 18th letter?
scarlet, i'm finding it muky at 106!!!!
I'm at 59 to go... and it's murky here too! lol
LOL... hi, Dorens!! It's a fun one, though...
i think i'm fighting a cold and my head is sluggish today tho, so it really feels like it's me. took me much longer than usual to get halfway. but I will prevail!!
bethn, thanks, but can I get some more info??? did not get that
You know, I think the pre-cold is just as bad as the actual invasion...
dunno about that scarlet, I just hate the drippies!
I'm just getting over the cold, at least New Year should be a bit more lively :-)
prefix for against+ ant**tica
i think "perp" should be a word!
Dorens, it's all bad, but I'd rather use a box of tissues instead of not being able to breathe... and I hate antihistamines... they leave my throat feeling like razor blades live in it...
as in, "we caught that perp who robbed the store"
obviously enable doesnt watch cop shows
i'm with you monkey, tried that one too
if you watch enough CSI or NYPD then it is a word monkey!
LOL, beth... how are you doing? How's that sore wing... any improvement? And, Happy Holidays to all!
Perpetrator is never used anymore...
scarlet, we can't talk about it.. i would like to try denial on this one... specially since I'm driving to Boston tomorrow for three days with family and don't want to be viral and dripping while there!
perp is used all the time on cop shows like Law & Order
Oh, crapola, Do!! That really stinks... is the baby still young enough to have immunity?
bethn, thanks but I think you clued an 6, I need ar 6
she's almost 18 months.... not all that immune anymore
JBV... more like Pablo Picasso...
ar6 is a word that means even more like Picasso
ar 6 is more creative
that did it ! ty
or leonardo or hopper or michelangelo
i am not wearing sling/brace in house now, but it still doesnt move on its own. therapist says maybe nxt week will see major improvement.
Dang it, Do...
yay jbv
I needed the an6 so thank you ;-)
or Ata....
nuft
oh crap, sorry
not in the dictionary LOL
Glad to hear that beth... Little steps at a time...
thanks, scarlet, lilmonkey
alcohol working, down to 12 left... must finish while can still see screen
sorry jbv, too many painkillers :(
LOL, Chrissie... bottoms up!
nuft said lil*monkey
*Cheers*!!
sorry to hear that, bethn, hope you're feeling better
sorry to hear that, bethn, hope you're feeling better
sorry to hear that, bethn, hope you're feeling better
oops, no excuse, just fast clicking
JBV.. I bet you want beth to feel better, right?
i am doing better, i am doing better , i am doing better:)
could I have a clue for the te 9 please, actually I think it is a clue for the te 6 before I need :-)
:-) :-) :-)
Katie... add a consonant to the te5/10 above it.
no te9 katie - you on the alcoloh too?
or even alcohol
Oh yes Chrissie, on a banana Daquari, eating nuts and playing on the laptop, seems a good way to spend the night!
no fair bringing without sharing, you must have enuf or all of us
th6 - needle and th6, th9 more so
Having considered lickety I need the te 5 & 8 respectively :-)
This is the first time I ever tried "petra" and I am surprised that it isn't accepted... with all of the weird words we have from all different languages, that one is a no-go!
"pours a glass for bethn"
Beth we bought everything to make cocktails and then have both been ill since Christmas Day, honestly there is enough to share, what would you like?
te5 wigwam
where indians live
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh
India?
*shuffles off to get a fish*
hi katie w still up eh!!
i like anything sweet, it is easier to guzzle. that is why i dont drink much you dont realize how much alcohol youve had until it is too late and the children are pretending not too know you!
down to 46... stealing all the clues you all drop for everyone else!
Hi diem, yep just started on the cocktails so the last 82 words could be a long time in coming. Just watched harry potter (number 4) so now way behind!!
Beth I'd recommend a tequila sunrise, I'll just knock you one up now :-)
47 here niamh,
there you go beth :-)
oooh, theyre pretty. i used to drink them when i was a teenager. drinking age was only 18
thanks kati
ooooh... I like the sunrise part but tequila is not my first choice... does it have a special name when you use rum?
I cant remember the name but you definately can use rum. In our cocktail book they also do it with gin
gin is good too
I just made one which was a double dark rum, single cointreau and a measure of double cream. It was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too strong for me!!
clue for te5/10 after lukewarm please
K W i still got 137 but got my 8s&9s Hope you and Brys cold get better.you cn use rum with anything more rum preferred
te + it ***ns a lot in Seattle
ty niamh
yw! glad that helped!
Don't you worry Diem we will still have all the makings of cocktails when you come. We have got 2 pint glasses in especially ;-)
Good Girl
rum is definately my first choice... I like Meyers Dark Rum... yummy stuff!
We will keep the singing reindeer out for your visit as well I'm sure Don will enjoy it :-)
Niamh, I like golden rum you get in the Dom Rep, we have a bottle in (obviously)
I'm with you Niamh... only liquor I like is dark rum... ever drink it with grapefruit juice?
when we went away for our 30th anniversary we brought home vanilla rum from anguilla, it is to die for
I'd never had dark rum till this Christmas, had a nip of rum and baileys, lovely!!
Havana as old as you can get straight
I've had it with many citrus fruits but I'm not sure if I've tried just grapefuit....
havana club? my son got me some once
katie... not sure I've ever had that... sounds spendy!
i love it with fresh grapefruit juice and a piece of lime.
i have a long way to go
I'll have to try that, thanks Dorens!

Any clue for re4/6? I am lost

Hi, all...
hi pam
can i have a clue 4 the tr/8 please
hi, angelina
ang...
Hi Pam. (what's the weather forecast? I'm driving up tomorrow)
night all
more like a journey ? (tr8)
tr 8/50 when you take too much acid or too much vacation
hi yah
better clue there, bookwomen. must be cause there's more than one of you
hi jo!!
tr8,50 can be either falling over objects more or having more of an LSD experience
hahahha excellent clue bookwomen
ang how r you????
doing well, how about you?
rain tomorrow, dorens, cloudy sunday, low 40s
ty excellent clue
i need 2 more 9s... have the th9 and the re9
jo are you going to try to play in the tournament tonight?
long as there's no snow, pam... I got caught badly once last year
th9 have moe lines of sewing material per inch
i have the th9
**more**
bbs
re9 to say again
I can see why you don't want snow, dorens, but it sure would be less icky out
any clues for en6/21?
OK I have the th9 and the re9... what are the other two 9s ???
en6,21 opp of beginning + the things in caves are stalagm***
re9 say again
clue for re 9
en6 = en + the French word for talk
there is a pr 9 and a tr 9
re9 = to explain, state, or specify again
oh TY niamh
I gotta go now folks... have a great day!
re9 is to say something again
re + if a person can not reae then they are ill******
**read**, fingers don';t work well
pr9 pr8+a vowel
dammit i don't have the pr8
cr7/36, please?
something that is a standard, Marc. cr* + cafe******(where food is served)
cr7, cr*** suzette, more of them
cr 7/36 more of a french pancake
Don't have the pr8, lil...
howza bout a cloo for the pr8 ?
eeks, I clued the cr8, sorry!
prepare
oh crap, sorry
pr8 and 9... not sure of the 8 but it's awfully close to the 9... part of a sentence... "subject and Pr*******"
Hi all, back to find my last 66
hi, peri!
hi peri!
ep7 please
could not get your clue ladynatts... it sounds like you are cluing the word "preposition" but that's not in the grid
dictionary calls it a verb form, lil*monkey, I always learned it as the other half of a sentence
pr9 before + that's qui** a nice care + a religious ceremony-- then remove the last letter for the pr8
**car**
ep7 is another word for a curse or expletive (def. #2)... ep + vowel + the 8th letter of the greek alphabet
This grid is trying to squash me under it's perplexity
pr8 is 1st 5 letters of pr7/36 +you tell your dog to s--
LOL, uni! Me, too!
Thanks, bubba
I think I really meant complexity. I am perplexed, it is complex!
you've never heard of pr9? I must have had a mad grade 9 language arts teacher... I loved him!
you meant predicate
on this board, I so wanted perpetrate, I misspelled it just to see if it would take
your definition is wrong
maybe I did!... LOL... still, I have heard of the pr9 before
thanks for the clarification, rosco... you are absolutely right. It's been awhile, obviously
good evening; anyone have a clue for the eup 7?
my apologies, everyone...
phan? I have no eu 7 nor a up 7... do you mean ep7?
I meant ep; my keyboard is a pain
the cursor just randomly jumps to odd places
but that appears to have just been a typo...
how long have you been here, phan? I clued the ep7 at 6:59... but I missed adding "minus last vowel"
any clues for the first re6/18?
re6 = rip once more
ep7 = a phrase used to describe someone, sometimes mean or abusive
70 more words !
ty, nrkii
It's a rich board, uni... you are well on your way!
goodness, what an easy one! ty
still working on 87 left here. ty for the clues so far 7 8 and 9s done.
i had just gotten here; thnx for pointing me to the clue
For a minute there, I tought Aryn was talking about the grid!

did you get it, phan?
I am stuck on the fourth pe4/5
12 to all d's and all 4
en+di4/5
lol, no, no....the grid is definitely not an easy one today
12 to go and all d's and all 4's so I am going to dinner and finishing later. Thanks for all the clues over and out.
Hi nrkii, haven't seen you in a while
more like french for "say" ...inother words "on ****" - they say
en 6 21= not the beginning + take a b*** out of crime
hi peri!
ty!
pe 6/21 clue?
Hi, nrkii
pe6,21 small in french
there are two pe6/21 I need the first one please
4th pe 4/5 = to look intently, or one on the same level
petite
sorry!!!!!!
the other pe 6/21 is p+ Lake ***** is one of the great lakes
first pe 6 21 = the pe 4/5 I just clued, plus two vowels
thanks nrkii was getting a headache looking for that one
no problem...
no problem...
good night all!
me too... I also need help on the pe 6/24 please?
ty for those. time for dinner. still have 81 left.
these p's are killing me
pe+ another word for late - last letter
hi, bookwomen- I'm right there with you - 80 left ! Can we finish tonight?
Ah, to be hoisted by one's own. THanks, Natt!
that's what I was looking for ... Hoisted by one's own!
68 more here...I would race, but will fail miserably
i am going to try after dinner. i shall be well fed and ready to go.
does the tr9 build off the tr6,24???
yes, lil
yes it does
can I have a clue for that tr6,24 please
thank YOU

Echo? Echo? :)
lol, uni
hey uni, are you making fun of the monkey?
I don't think so...but this grid has me so confused that I can't say for sure
cr8 cr + vowel + germs are bac*****
when you said echo, echo, i thought you meant i was asking about the same word as someone else :)
how many words r in this puzzle?
there are 254 words, newyrk
36, newyrk
2*5*4 total words
Oh, no. Every time Lady responded, rosalind did immediately after! I thoguht it was cute
254, duh, read that wrong :">
tyvm
hi, dc!
hi, pam, ilke the blue
Congratulations to loriP who claims she just finished!
entire
hi dc and congrats lori
Yay LoriP, fireworks and monkey love
yay, lori
oh thanks for that, newyrk
hahaha
i've been slow to grey letters; still have 105 left.
It's interesting to me how people approach the puzzle... some go for the big words first... some go for greying out each letter...
I have more left, and no grays yet, dc....
once i check lickety, i like to do the words in order
I do what I can, hit the list from Z to A, then back through however I want to finish. That works!
i work rather randomly; historically, i work from z-a.
me too, lil*monkey... before that, I just type whatever I see
I just look at the grid, then see what needs to be grayed... I am kind of random, and use no list...
No list Pam? That's impressive!
So pam, what is close to grey?
sprite uses no list, also.
I go as far as I can without the list... mind you, at work I can only play with the list
not impressive, just my way....
I don't see me ever getting there. I am psyching myself up for a few days without lickety and learning to work with BJs...**prepares**
I putter....
i check the lickety list only when i have about 30-40 left to find
so at the crack of dawn, I launch babble and get as many as I can before I go
help with ta7 please
I don't need to finish, the way some do. I need to play, though....
later, peri? Or another?
ta7 .. later
ta7 is to be even later than everyone else
ty, pam
I get very impatient and cranky when I don't finish. Finishing gives me a rush
yw
BTW, i changed my icon pic to a differnt monkey
me too, uni... I NEED to finish
I can't not start, and I can't not finish. It's a problem
thanks so much got the ta7
cute, lil* monkey
I like the moseying about, the searching... lists make me nuts. And, lists give me agita...
TY lady natts
need a break, bbs soon to find last 17
glad you got it, peri
pi6,24 please
I love lists...in and out of babble, I can't remember anything without them. i don't follow them per se, but I must write them in order to remember
I am quite the opposite, uni
don't have it yet, bubba, sorry
pi6,24 = gladys knight & the ***s , even more so
thanks, Lol
*lil
Thanks, Monkey
I think I have p's as much as I hate peas

dios mio. ty, Natts
THanks Natts!
de nada
welcome uni
what the heck is a pi7, I won't dignify that word by looking it up.
Here you go, bubba: a mine entrance and the surrounding area
makes sense
pr7, which i'm hoping lays base for 8/9, pls?
Thanks, now I can use it in everyday conversation!!
sounds also like a cross between a pi**y observation and the Iliad, LOL
pr7 is make-believe, and has zip to do with the 8/9 verb description combo
hi
hi, herinfern
hi, lady.
ty, pam.
yw, dc!
how goes it
oh! found the 9, etrapolated the 8, which was unexpected. ty again, pam.
hey, abouyt time I can help you, dc. I always require your assistance!!!!
*about
alright, lady, and you?
hot. I just got in from the gym and i am drinking a giant protien choc soy drink. Its about 500mil frothed up to 1litre (33ounce?)

Thanks Ph, would have never monkeyed that
yw
I"m stilll not sure of what "monkey" means
thanks ph now just need the pi 6/21

you aren't saying those Pi****s of the Carribean, are you?
then there is that one too
Free gym membership? That is cool. I got a month free but i go three or 4 times a week. I need to get to about 170 pounds. I think there is about an even 60 to lose now
hello all -- is this grid worth starting so late?
'monkey" means to just keep typing til you find a word...
got it now on to the pr 8?
back from and ready to finish my last 80.
I did it in 2 1/2 hours with lickety, stid.
my last word-- fa 7,48 please
do you happen to have the pr 9? - the last ltr if you do
big ego
Well, my school is associated with another school which has several campuses, and I can attend any of those gyms. I do not focus on the numbers at all, as I am quite tall and "big boned" (for real, though)...my number will always be high, I am concerned with how I feel about myself
that was for you Bubba
lol... you fa******!
good for you Uniquity -- the importance is your HEALTH, not how "big" or "small" you are.
Uni that is my healthy weight range based on my bmi. If you read my threefs page at lj you can see what i mean.
Thanks, should have gotten that after that mine entrance word, but thanks for all the clues, -- I have finished
no I don't have the pr 8 or 9
is it pre?
My bmi tells me I can go up to 180 or so, I think...I like being there, but don't really care as long as I love myself and am well healthwise.
yes, ruru, a past tense verb description...
Uni that is the way to do it. I get so pissed at shows like the biggest loser. I still stuff my face with what ever i like in moderation. I am lucky I loath most fast foods and have gotten a dairy intolerance happening. Also white bread and too much soft fdrink is bad
before + cross + vowel + not wrong
I like to watch "you are what you eat" but the diet she prescribes sounds just so impossible to me...I eat what I like, as health conscious as I feel like
got that is the eight off of that?
yes, - last ltr
got it thanks very much
I second that one Uni.
yes, subtract the last letter
I am a potato addict...potatoes every way I can. And chicken...Mmmm
yay, ru!!!!
yw
go ruru go!
then you should change your name to unitater
Uniquitater? I like that one..
I like that too. MMMM potatoes. Thats my staple too
good nite guys
sweet dreams phand

thank you LBD :)
THANKS! :-)

Betty, think Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom
I am really not prepared for Lickety to go away. I hope Dr G has taken this into consideration and gives us teeny grids, LOL
mrP was here earlier telling us that they were going camping for the weekend and asked to spread the news. not GOOD news
we can handle it, Uniquity, we'll use BJ's list instead...
I am very glad they are enjoying their family...just wish he ahd an automatic generator!!
i use BJ's list anyway--works fine, folks!
oh, I think they will have a lovely time. I hope they do, anyway (personally, I ABHOR camping, but then I am a wimp)
betty, there is only one pi6/21 and it's a skull and crossbones guy
Thanks lbdawger. Happy Birthday tomorrow Unea. Night everyone!
well i want a 500 grid
i'm with you, stid . . . camping, ugh

Thanks phaeton.

Yes Dorens, they are random creations, but I am under the impression he can choose what ones go on what date, IF he desires
yes, the grids are randomly generated.

Thanks, moon--that's it. Only 12 left--
Don't you just feel like a re6.21?
absolutely!
i did, too. That was one of the ones that got me, at first.
as big grids go, it wasn't too bad. I'm just glad I got to finish it. Last Saturday, my ISP went down early in the day, and was off for nearly 24 hours. And I had 215 of 305 (I think it was) words! Imagine my frustration!! :P
whew! Fireworks, have been at this on and off all day
Aww. Th4 would suck!
I was so mad at the phone co.
yay, flosey
Congrats flosey! wtg
I gotta go back and watch the video. It looks like a cool one :)
I have 91 left -- I never seem to have time to finish the big grids
but not just yet
I hate stuff like that, tyger! I had no connection for an hour a few days ago because My computer reconfigured itself
that's because you have such a busy life, jilli :)
tr9? please/
hi flosey and YAY for you!!!
tr9 = tr6 + picnic pest
tr9 builds off the tr6 before it
add on the uninvited picnic guest
You can do it Jilli, you've got time.
not quite a "snap", woof :)
help with the ti5/12?
Not quite but close =D
har har, moon!
ti5/12 - a tenth of one's income
Medival serfs would ti5.12 to their land owners.
jilli, you're fast - we know it :)
tr 9??? I guess I don't have that tr 6!
thanks tyger
Seriously Jilli. Unless you have plans you havent mentioned =P
if you added in in front of tr6, you'd get the kind of person who makes a great explorer (adjective)
yw, phae
I don't have the tr6 either, pam -- HINT, HINT to cluers!
they often talk about intr6 explorers
ty for the tr 9 clues!!
intr***** reporters are avid. Take off the "in" and you get tr6
THANKS, tyger!!!
yw, TO - see guys, you just need to think a minute :)
yw, pam - see I knew you could
:D
LOLOL
jilli??
didja get it yet?
thanks for the trs -- didn't think the 6 was a word. At Xmas, 29-yr-old writer grandson was playing with words
I didn't think it was, either :)
but there it is
yw
My lucky Monkey found that one... I was trying to put in "lukewarm" lol
and decided that "telligent" was a good opposite. Tr6 is in the same category as far as I'm concerned, like "gruntled"
LOL, jilli
I've always been fond of "gruntled". It sounds so satisfiying, even if it isn.t
Society for Last Positives - we shevel and gruntle the world!
me too, moon, lol!
lost, not last.
last even.
ROFLMAO
gruntled is such a funny word - it sounds ugly, for such a pleasant emotion
what, DC?
It's like swearing in German. It's just so much More.
Yes! Yes! Yes!!!
Great title for the collection, dc -- Lost Positives -- or Lost Opposites?
yeah, woof - all those chewy consonants :D
Are finished phae? Or did you just crack?
Finished!
Congrats =)
oh, just saw DC's original comment - loved it, DC :)
Lost Positives. for though opposite, they're more than that, or more specific than that.
yay, phae
YAY phaeton!!!
and cracked :-)
well done, phaeton!
Goodnite, sleep tight, sweet dreams!
dc, I don't think telligent is a positive!
Now that you bring it up, DC... Why are scadians so much less creative about their anacronisms?
Nite phae, sleep sweet.
gonna hafta go. past time for pills & stuff to cushion my stomach from them, but I HAD to finish the grid!
they're human moon.
nite, phae
I guess it's only human of me to hope they start soon lol
Finished, tyger? YAY!!!
nite,. phae
scadian?
Nite tyger. And congrats again =)
yeah -- scadian?
SCA = Society for Creative Anacronisms.
finished about 45 minutes ago, jilli - unless I can't do it alone, I never come in till then
They're reinactors.
anachronisms
ahhhh reading a book with reenactors in it...
nytol (that used to be a sleeping med)
*poof*
Seriously pam? I just got done with a set by John Ringo. Which are you reading?
intelligens is the latin from which intelligent is derived. so not germanic, like the others; must dig a but more to find parts .
nyte 2u2
Sorry I forgot the "h" jilli, but you get the idea.
moon, I'm a compulsive corrector/correcter (?) , sorry :)
It's a Henning Mankell mystery and the reenactors are the victims...
oooh, straight-line diagonal :)
ooh, which one Pam. I've been reading those. Just finished Firewall.
I LOVED firewall... don't know which I am reading now, LOL
http://www.apostropheabuse.com/ jilli - i found this just for you!!!!
a bunch of us now list on goodreads.com, natasha...
S'okay jilli. It's not a word I use very often, so I wouldnt have noticed if you hadn't. Hence i say scadian lol
I think I've read 3 Mankell books now.
goodreads?
natasha, did you read Mankell's Depth? It is great
Yes. goodreads.com. And, feather started a bookgroup there, too, I think
twinnie!!!
rennnniiiieeee!
I am reading Sidetracked. I have read most of the Wallander books. My co-workers don't really care for the non-Wallander. Annie--was Depth a Wallander?
evening Annie + Natasha
nope, haven't read that one yet. I'll have to check it out. I've veered off into other scandanavian authors.
how be ye twinnie?
Natasha, Depth is not a Wallender book
my local trader joe's impressed me. I complained about the word "return's" on a sign in their store. Two weeks later, it was corrected to "returns" :)
I am being fine, rennnieee....how is your hubby?
I haven't read any of his non-wallender books, but I'll definitely check them out.
Oh, that is great, dc
I just finished Ake Edwardson's Frozen Tracks, another good one
better twinnie - he's having the hylan shots in his knee - and back to riding his bike :)
I was thinking I should read some scandinavian authors, too. And some more latino. Junot Diaz wowed me recently
That is great, ren!
way to go sean - we must support jilli and her aversion to the misuse of the little '
rennie, sounds like he is recovering nicely, I hope!
Thanks, Annie, I will have to look into edwardson
yes, an a apostrophe does not mean beware of oncoming S, as some seem to believe.
I just started The Princess of Burundi by Kjell Eriksson. I'll have to check my library for the one you mentioned anniebrook.
LOLOL, dc!!!!
it's been on year tomorrow twinnie
don't even get me started on its vs it's. sigh.
Thanks rennie -- jacula will enjoy that apostrophe site too. Now for a hyphen and merge site for "Thank-you for not smoking" and "We're open everyday".
Natasha, I must read The Princess of Burundi...thanks for reminding me
fewer vs. less....
All hail to "Eats Shoots and Leaves"
hear hear, jilli!!
All hail indeed!!!!
Yes, indeed, Natasha
hail, hail
hahahah jilli and sean
going to get into make with a book, tired, good night, dear babblers
bed, that is
night annie
ciao, annie!
niter twinnie - sweet zzzzzs
Night Annie. Sleep sweet.
night annie
I believe I need food. I'm going to take off for a while before the flip.
g'night annie
Well, I broke 90 -- 89 left and I don't care.
Did you want some help bfore i go, jilli?
great, jilli
pe 6/24 please- first one?
phantom: anteater
may i have a clue for the first te 5,10 please?
like the re6.21 but swap the r for p
or pe 6/21 first one
i mean the first ti 5,10
ty Moonwoof
ti5.10 is a grecian giant in mythology
thanks moon
Or think Clash of the ti6s
and it's the beginning of our kennel name (see my flickrs)
cr 8 45?
firewords :)
i didnt know you had a kennel...'
Congrats Dc!
very cool, dc!!!!
wtg dc
the cr8 for selection are arbitrary
moon, we used to, many years ago
cr8.45 are the standards by which you rate some thing.
YAY dc!!!
saw some real ones earlier tonight
oh duh ty
Wow! Done
What kind of dogs, jilli?
yay, dr!
YAY dr1965!!!
Congrats to you2 65
moon -- click on my icon!
I did, sorry jilli. Asking was going quicker than they were loading for some reason lol
well done, dr!
Very beautiful, jilli.
Great Danes, moon -- just wanted you to see some of them
The dogs, that is, not the fly =D
They're HUGE
thanks, moon. Tyger had Danes too -- we met decades ago
ty everyone.. back for the flip later
My hubby likes large dogs, too. So we made a deal. He can own any dogs that weighs less than i do. So he keeps trying to feed me cheese cake, etx.
Cya Dr.
Well well. I'll have to check out tyger later, too.
bye dr
Danes are so gentle, and you don't have to bend down to pat them, lol.
Sadly, given my metabolism, I dont think he'll be getting a St. Bernard anytime, soon
I have a friend who has a Dane that pulls her around on a trike... I'll get you a picture in Feb.
It's pretty funny looking.
I'm trying to teach my jack russel to ride on Daisy's back (my friend's dane = Diasy)
moon -- your flag doesn't show -- did you click on "Show Profile" in the upper right corner of your "My Account"?
I don't think so, jilli. I don't recall seeing anything like that in my account. I'm from the US, tho.
Now, I am, anyway.
moon, a friend of ours who is an Obedience trainer got her Harrier to use our first Dane as something to jump over
Have a look, moon -- it's there
Funny looking, huh? Cassie and I have been working with Daisy for a while. She likes doing stuff like that, too.
ok, brb
pam are you still here?
Well, I think I found it, but it doesnt seem to be "checkable" right now or something...
At least, it's not Doing anything.
I suppose it might be my BExpert, too, tho.
Have you looked under "who's online" natasha?
that's strange, moon -- BExpert shouldn't make any difference. No little box beside "Show Profile"? No check mark if you click on the box?
poke
nah, figured if she was here it would just be easier to ask!
poke?
Well, yes, there's a box there, but it isn't checking or unchecking, jilli.
and poke 2u2, herin, lol
Evening herin and jane
hello
very odd, moon -- write Dr_God!
ea 5 10? not sure which
Nope it's not doing anything one way or the other, jilli. And BE doesn't usually make any difference, but it may be, I dont know.
wow. i introduced my friend eduardo to this game this AM. He went pro alreaday. i guess he really meant it when he said it was addictive. So, we have a player in Spain now. :)
clue for the cr 8 please
wb, lady
Our house says 'poke' usually means your asleep. ALso likely to be literally poked with a practice pole for err martial arts
I feel asleep
I figure I'll try it in my browser, first, a little later. And if that doesnt work I'll write someone.
cr8 for selection are listed below
dc, saw your friend in spain earlier today -- very talented photographer
Is it Kendo where you use wooden swords and poles?
Both ea 5's start the same but end one letter off. ea5 it someone who ea** food.
yes, he is, jilli.
i don't know, lady.
sheesh missed that ty
It can be, herin. But isn't always.
couldn't go to all his over 4,000 images, though!
DC so thats your friend YAH didn't talk much to him as i was going to the gym,
I can't remember though as i am still brain defficent and the b.f who did the art is asleep.
yes, uliv and i have been acquainted for several years.
for an added holiday treat, check out eBay item 230206036400
We have 2 practice swords, one pole, 3 Samurai swords
That's very cool, Dc. Congrats for you and your friend.
i've tempted 3 people into babble in the last 4 weeks >:)
nifty, lady.
You're an evil man, Snidely.
...FIREWORKS!!!!!
YAH Drth

DC they said thats a wolverine but it looks kinda mean
omg. Jane you HATE me.
That would kick BUTT over my bed!

it was unlike any creature i've seen before - looked part bear, part racoon to me.
Reny its hot and i wanna go swimming but cant as i am a fair skin lass that will crisp

Nitey Pam. Sleep sweet
Dc since learning street fighting only once have i thrown a punch. I was attacked by 2 girls. One grabbed my hair and pulled my head down. I knew she was going to kick me so i crossed my leg across my stomach. She kicked me in the thigh. I cracked her in the jaw. One punch and she let go.
go to an indoor pool herin
I"m pretty sure that's a wolverine
useful skill, that lady
Oh and there was the time i punched one of my idiot ex friends in the face as he was drunk and wanted to drive. I pulled the punch at the last second. Scared the begebers out of him enough not to drive.
