1:01 am

god, i musts have lag too. or dc is just 2 steps ahead of me - as usual. : )

1:01 am

little town nobody's heard of, less than 3000 people. pretty sure that the name means "insignificant town at the bottom of the ski hill"

1:01 am

we have aq scandinavian, a swiss, an austrian, a couple of italian, several blends, and one AWFUL Chinese

1:01 am

reaturants, that is.

scandinavian food? like what?

1:02 am

i keep wanting to make ameliorate out of the board...but it just ain't there.

1:02 am

wow. that last sl5 is an odd word

1:03 am

right column grey -- finally!

1:03 am

growing up, my friend's swedish mother used to stew deer with cinnamon, and serve it with pancakey things.

1:03 am

the chef is from finland -- see menu at www.housepiccolo.com/

1:03 am

ooh, that sounds good..

1:03 am

thx jili.

1:04 am

mmm. cinnamon venison is great.

1:04 am

yay! finally found the last S, thanks for the clue jes

1:04 am

Bye Mi. Joe - page & divis now -- nearly everywhere in the city living or working for abt 30 yrs. If I know the place you mean, I tried it awhile back when I still had taste buds. Probably really good for USA, esp. since South indian is not that readily found, but not the Real real thing. Fremont has a large community - meaning to try there.

1:06 am

ahhh. yeah - i thought it was good, but i didn't have anything to compare it too.

1:06 am

Fran is that the last 5-count word or the last five words to fireworks? Either way, congrats.

1:06 am

wasn't much of a clue, but you're welcome to it, fran!

1:07 am

aw

1:09 am

since when have anacronyms become words?!!!

1:09 am

since enable, nan, can you say 'sysop'.

1:10 am

about the same time enable decided that crias, degus, and tegus weren't real animals

1:10 am

jwr, that was just my last S. :-)

finished

1:13 am

yay maniac!!!

1:13 am

congrats, maniac!

1:13 am

1:16 am

well done. on only having 80 left.

1:16 am

oh, thanks :)

1:16 am

it's a really old-fashioned directional word dc

1:16 am

g'night, joes, sleep well.

1:16 am

it's mostly used in relation to boating, dc.

1:16 am

dc, doesn't apply so much to kayaking...

1:17 am

i was guessing not, joes

1:17 am

hey, i'm not leaving yet dc..still chugging along.

1:17 am

I never kayaked either

1:17 am

but I read pirate stories -- got it :)

1:32 am

we just got home, don't know how long i'll be in

1:32 am

hi banana -- how was the trip to Salmon Arm?

1:33 am

It was good nan, just left Kelowna at 8pm tonight

1:33 am

snow almost everyday there and no snow here at all while we were gone...lol

1:34 am

yes -- we had much more than usual. Must have been a shock to get back to that -20 weather though!

1:35 am

only -3 when we got in....that was a surprise, I dressed too warmly for a change

1:37 am

parents said they hit heavier snow after they dropped us at the airport, between Kelowna and Vernon

1:38 am

Vernon and further north were expecting a dump tonight.

"Only" negative three? It's going to hit 38 tonight, and I feel hard done by. It shouldn't be this cold this early in the season. :(

1:44 am

-3 celcius

1:44 am

good morning all!

Oooohhhhhhh. I am no longer afraid that you will freeze up and break in half, then. :)

1:44 am

good morning Sprite

1:45 am

very warm for our winter though....lol..I don't mind at all

1:45 am

hi sprite

Well, still, that's quite a bit colder than it is here now.

1:45 am

always makes my head zoom, fahrenheit and celsius. It is NOT easy!

1:46 am

hiya sprite.

1:46 am

we've been on the metric system for almost 30 years here and I still think in standard....lol

That's what automatic converters are for. I found the Internet and lost every formula I'd ever memorized in grade school.

1:46 am

hi flosey, jilli, Joe :)

1:48 am

nite nana fran jilli dcs sprite and all the rest

1:48 am

1:48 am

night dart

Supposed to be, heh. It's not yet freezing here and we have the heat turned on.

1:48 am

Pleasant dreams, dart...

1:49 am

dart is my celcius converter....lol

1:50 am

..... I didn't even know there was an at 7. Is it just me, or is this grid surprisingly hard?

1:50 am

*kicks enable into better behaviour* no atta girl, no tabula rasa... stupid book. You're not even a book. You're a totally random wordlist on the internet... bow before my will!

1:50 am

yes, nan, fran posted a definition earlier.

1:51 am

it is harder than it looks, samantha

1:51 am

Not far away at all...I haven't been around Babble for a while, for lack of a working computer...

1:51 am

darn, I am really gonna miss you, dc. I might have to leave some words for the evening, just to see if you are online then, dc...

1:51 am

glad to have you back, Douglas

1:51 am

everything at work in in celsius....s o its not too hard to convert nana if you do it alot :)

1:51 am

Hi sprite :)

1:51 am

my new work hours will be 13-01 your time, sprite.

It's nearly 2AM and I think I should go get some sleep. Insomnia tonight will not serve me well tomorrow. G'night all.

1:52 am

Moonwoof is in bloomington for a while...and drbernabo is in duluth

1:52 am

np dart, you can do my converting anytime...lol

1:52 am

but they will be a lot more demanding, I suppose, dc?

1:52 am

fran's clue is off the board, seain -- would you repeat it please?

1:52 am

nite sam and hi all!

1:52 am

indeed sprite, those hours are much busier here.

1:52 am

at7 relates to boating/canoeing. Definition: 1. from side to side; crosswise. 2. Nautical. a. at right angles to the fore-and-aft line; across. b. broadside to the wind because of equal and opposite pressures of wind and tide

1:53 am

2:04 am

it is great, I am so sorry I cannot see all of it.

2:05 am

Is this inability just today or usually, sprite?

2:05 am

since the reinstall, jilli. And nobody seems to be able to help me with it. We have tried about every security setting, firewall thing, popup blocker thing etc. Just won't budge.

2:06 am

yeah. i'm pretty tired too.

2:06 am

what a bummer!

2:06 am

incredibly frustrating!

2:06 am

2:12 am

not quite as bad as yesterdays for me, but then not even halfway

2:16 am

perhaps it's because i'm tired ... went shopping with my 18 yr old daughter yesterdaywho has so much energy!!!

2:17 am

2:17 am

2:33 am

2:34 am

my sodium levels were lower than i thought. the V8 doesn't taste salty at all.

2:34 am

2:34 am

2:34 am

2:35 am

V8 is a vegetable juice drink sold here, with a tomato base, sprite :D

2:35 am

2:35 am

2:39 am

lol

2:39 am

and so modest too...

2:39 am

lol

2:40 am

true to form, i did not find te4/4 until about an hour into the grid!

2:41 am

aww fran, you're just too upbeat for that word.

2:41 am

i did the same, fran :)

2:41 am

like I can never spot hate, Fran :)

2:41 am

joes, the one that goes straight across the grid!

2:41 am

but of course dc!

2:41 am

oh that one.

2:41 am

oh, that one!

2:42 am

snap, Joes

2:42 am

LOL!

2:42 am

good point fran, we seem to share a brain in this game

2:42 am

no, not like that. oh crikey. i can't explain without inflections...

2:42 am

or, be of a mind, rather

2:43 am

k, it's way past my dinnertime and my bedtime... night all.

2:43 am

along with sprite dc, that means we're all working with a third at the most!

2:43 am

g'night, joes!

2:43 am

nite Joes

2:43 am

night joes!

2:43 am

go us! YAY! :D

2:43 am

see you soon.

2:43 am

I am not sure about this grid. Does the total number of words really run into the 200? It looks more like a 150 grid or so.

2:44 am

night Joes

2:44 am

i saw two people finish sprite, unless they were lying!

2:44 am

i have 169 so far, so i'm willing to believe it does. :)

2:44 am

I thought that was a given, Fran... we don't use most of our brain at all, so why not share :)

2:44 am

i can vouch for the numbers sprite.

2:44 am

happy hunting all.

2:44 am

I don't think many babblers lie about finishing. Sigh. Ok, then it is just me being stoopid.

2:44 am

oh yeah! and joes too. :-)

2:45 am

I have 176 so far

2:45 am

i'm at 183 so there are at least th** many

2:46 am

*bows head in humiliation* Off to hunt for the other half then...

2:46 am

I am seeing crosseyed now so will have to come back tomorrow to try to finish up...good night all!

2:47 am

night nana!

2:47 am

night banana4

2:47 am

ephemeral dreams, banana :)

2:47 am

2:47 am

ggodnite Banana

2:47 am

put an S in front and drop the last letter sprite

2:48 am

omg... I did not even know th4 word. Thanks Fran, and sorry, fellow babblers...

2:48 am

i know that word because of The Glass Managerie, fran.

2:48 am

it's in the stage directions

2:49 am

and curtain material

2:49 am

i don't know where i know it from, although i think i've read the glass menagerie.

2:49 am

indeed so, lynxxx. i'd forgotten about that.

2:49 am

oh, then it's probably from some decorating show. :-)

2:49 am

and the weather of a certain region or country is not valid either... I bet th4 needs an E at the end then... I am going nuts.

2:50 am

sc5 and blue roses are most of what what i recall of the play.

2:50 am

sprite, isn't it cool that as long as you've been babbling there can still be new words?

2:50 am

You must have caught it from me yesterday Sprite - couldn't see words for loking

2:51 am

totally, Fran! I love th4 about this game!

2:51 am

oops

2:51 am

ohoh, so it is contagious! Well THANKS lynxxx :P

2:51 am

good thing i have some pineapple upside-down cake to leave in the sin bin

2:51 am

as James Nicolls said: "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

2:52 am

not anymore you haven't Fran. I had to go to the sinbin just now and it is finished. Lovely.

2:52 am

LOLLLLLLL dc! Oh that is a great quote!

2:53 am

can I console you with some freshmade pancakes?

2:54 am

awesome dc!

2:55 am

that explains all the bad words in enable.

2:55 am

yum, pancakes

2:56 am

hm. so it may explain it, fran.

2:57 am

ah, the wr5 of Khan.

2:58 am

i'm still missing two Ws, they are probably the simplest ones too

2:59 am

I just found the magnicifent animal(s) W4 and 5. How blind can one be.

3:00 am

wh4...ty m'**?

3:00 am

sprite, those might be the ones i'm missing!

3:00 am

oh, have you the double letter spinning?

3:00 am

lol dc, yes, got that one.

3:00 am

they mate for life and howl to the moon, Fran

3:00 am

yes dc, to both

3:00 am

I don't think Sprite meas wa4.8hog either

3:01 am

aaargh! i told you it was the easy ones

3:01 am

those were my last two Ws, thanks sprite

3:01 am

hi lynxxx, wb :)

3:01 am

wtg Fran!

3:02 am

they are funny, wa4hogs, but I would not call them magnificent, no

3:02 am

yay, that helped me get a type of massage also sprite

3:03 am

woot, Ws finished :) Thanks!

3:03 am

and the vomit word - thanks Sprite

3:03 am

yay sprite!!!

3:04 am

that too lynxxx

3:05 am

strange, how I could not find them easily and still most of them are not hard or really strange at all. Definitely a blind day.

3:05 am

yes, yes it is, sprite, i agree

3:05 am

did you find all the Fs sprite, those are good ones

3:05 am

not yet, Fran!

3:05 am

i'm still short 3 of those, but i'm not up to F yet

3:06 am

I found the french policemen and some flowery words.

3:07 am

I met a wa4hog in Zimbabwe... came roaring out of hollow in and beneath a baobob sounding like grim death itself. Kind of cute: when they run their tails stick straight up.

3:07 am

which one is the french policeman?

3:07 am

FL4/8 and 5/18

3:07 am

lol mab! good morning

3:07 am

heh, mab.

3:07 am

wow mab. A little big scary too, I think?

3:07 am

oh, is that what those are.

3:07 am

ah, now i know what they mean. :-)

3:08 am

Hi Mab are they aggressive to humans?

3:08 am

not sure if that is the meaning in english, lol, it is just how I memorise them.

3:09 am

dictionary.com says slang for cops, from French.

3:09 am

ah, finally some new finds. They have E4 but they don't listen... Do5 et decorum est pro patria mori...

3:09 am

hi all. yes, scary sound. We thought it was something much bigger and fiercer.

3:09 am

yay, I got it right then :D

3:10 am

such a sweet word that do5

3:10 am

it is, dc :D *grin*

3:10 am

derat

3:10 am

Fran, got all the Fs now. They ARE nice :)

3:11 am

good one, lynxxx :)

3:11 am

shoot - sorry - are the pancakes in there yet Sprite - lemon & sugar on mine pls

3:11 am

2nd mi4/6 is a nickname of my ex.

3:11 am

pancake with lemon and sugar coming up for lynxxx...

3:11 am

woo hoo sprite!

3:12 am

i don't think i have the do5, how many points is it?

3:12 am

3:12 am

do5/14, Fran. Latin for sweet.

3:12 am

14, fran

3:13 am

never fear, the mi5/14 brigade is here! With merriment and joy and song for all!

3:13 am

won't be able to appreciate that comment until I finished the Ms, dc, but will keep it in mind :)

3:14 am

last mi5/14 is to what it refers

3:14 am

sheesh, kept heading in the wrong direction, of course i know that do5/14, thanks sprite and dc

3:15 am

two forms of it? or does the other mean something else?

3:15 am

another third down - time to wash floors - BBL

3:15 am

oh, ty for the reminder, lynxxx!

3:15 am

ugh, later lynxxx!

3:15 am

ah, th4 is the one I meant when I said I had found happiness, dc!

3:16 am

good luck with it, lynxxx!

3:16 am

two forms of what, fran?

3:16 am

the sweet word

3:16 am

yay! finished the Ms

3:16 am

not sure, Fran... does not look like a plural

3:17 am

ah, plural form. ty, fran :)

3:17 am

do5/14 di mare

3:17 am

ah, of course. Then it IS a plural form indeed.

3:19 am

wtg Fran!

3:20 am

Una notte a Napoli Con la luna ed il mare Ho incontrato un angelo Che non poteva più volar

3:20 am

*digs up some latin to make sense of the italian*

3:21 am

if it doesn't appear on a menu, i can't read it, sorry. :-)

3:21 am

One night in Naples, with the moon and the sea, i encountered an angel that could not fly.

3:21 am

a night in napoli, with the moon and the sun

3:21 am

ok, I was close.

3:21 am

how lovely

3:22 am

yes you were :D

3:22 am

i love italian, everything sounds good

3:22 am

3:22 am

3:23 am

wods

3:23 am

oops....\

3:23 am

not valid, mab, sorry :)

3:23 am

3:23 am

3:23 am

3:24 am

3:24 am

3:24 am

http://tinyurl.com/29vnof is a performance of it

3:25 am

3:25 am

oh, I found ra7 :) through rain and wind and weather...

3:25 am

i could have sworn the stuff i downloaded was in english

3:26 am

Ms down too, Fran! I follow in your wake and use your brainwaves, grin.

3:26 am

rowdy yates

3:26 am

sprite, i'm guessing you're not alluding to the US Postman's creed.

3:26 am

morning, BabbleRabble.

3:26 am

hi BabbleRabble, good to see you :)

3:27 am

lol, i'm trying to pick up your brain waves to get the ra7!

3:27 am

hi babrab!

3:27 am

"... wishing my girl was by my side.... My heart's calculatin', my true love will be waitin', be waitin' at the end of my ride....'

3:28 am

fran, ra7! is a song

3:28 am

it is a compound, Fran and dc. And dc: no, I am not. ;)

3:28 am

"keep them dogies movin'..."

3:29 am

how

3:29 am

i liked that video dc, thanks!

3:29 am

tsk. Here I am, remembering most of the lyrics, and she thanks dc.

3:29 am

wishbone

3:30 am

Pink Martini is the bomb. i recommend them highly (except for their take on Tea for Two).

3:31 am

blues brothers sang that song in their mission from god movie

3:31 am

was that the same song as in the video sprite?

3:31 am

thanks sprite. can't believe you get that show in the netherlands.

3:31 am

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds

3:32 am

okay, i'm confused now, the ra7 is a song?

3:32 am

sprite quoted it below, fran

3:32 am

Now I am thinking of th4 other movie... the postman? The mailman? Where there are few people left and one man picks up a mailbag and starts reconnecting people?

3:32 am

ra7 as also a chew toy for dogs

3:32 am

ra7 is a song, and also a series, I believe, or a movie.

3:32 am

okay, but it's different from the video you posted, right?

3:33 am

very muchso, fran :)

3:33 am

jup, not related to the youtube vid from dc.

3:33 am

Il Postino/The Postman, wonderful film :D

3:33 am

duh, okay, finally got it!

3:33 am

3:33 am

Fran ... uncooked + and ausie song: so we tanned his **** when he died clyde and that's it hanging on the shed

3:34 am

3:34 am

lol BabbleRabble

3:34 am

lol, okay babrab. :-)

3:34 am

never seen it, dc. Writing it down now. Thanks :)

3:34 am

it's a vietnamese film, probably titled in nederlands there.

3:35 am

that's where one of my favorite blogs got her name..."the scent of green bananas"

3:35 am

nice, Fran :)

3:35 am

makes sense, she's very well read and ... watched

3:36 am

i've never seen a banan tree. there used to be one in Georgtown, in DC. Maybe i'll think to look to see if it's there next summer. They take it in for the winter.

3:37 am

well well, finally got my second wind. Or first, maybe. Down to 14!

3:37 am

woo hoo sprite!

3:37 am

3:53 am

you'll get the hang of it in time, coolits.

3:53 am

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

Hello hog

Hodag hello even

5:35 am

hi hodag

5:36 am

hi lady,kat

5:37 am

morning, hodag

5:37 am

hi ya dc

well my pc is having another pissyfit

5:40 am

excellent question, carlee. it's in the news here, but mostly we sit back and wait for at least 25% of the states to have their primaries/caucauses before we make much of it.

5:40 am

cause, well, there'se only so much one can learn from Iowa and New Hampshire.

5:41 am

u know...the on ly guy down there that I like....( as a canadian viewing US politics)... is richardson

5:41 am

I like hillary..but the idea of having bush/ clinton in office for 24 years..is just too scary

Carlee oh my gods i never thought of that

Carlee oh my gods i never thought of that

5:42 am

and I like obama..but the m ess down there...if he does not clean it up perfectly... then the race card will always historically be thrown down ( goes for hillary too )

5:42 am

excellent point that last one, carlee.

5:43 am

edwards I think is too decent a guy

see scared me so much i hiccuped

5:43 am

but with a wife dying of cancer

5:43 am

and i'd not thought about the bush/clinton thing. though we survived 16 of 20 years with Adamses in the office 2 centuries ago.

5:43 am

richardson would be so cool..he excellent in international relations..and knows how to deal with border issues

later gators my nets freaking out

5:44 am

i agree that Edwards comes across as too decent to be electable on a nat'l scale

5:44 am

ciao, lady

5:44 am

in a while dile

5:44 am

well, i must away to do shift turnover and like. peace!

5:45 am

later dc

I'll be glad when my fella gets back on night shift... getting up at 3 to get him off to work is killlllin' me, lol

6:05 am

Ouch...I think he might have to walk if it was up to me! :)

6:06 am

**skilfully avoides mushy banana while throwing icycle booger**

6:06 am

Nothing could get me up at 3 am. Then the dog would want to go out

6:06 am

if was up to me..i'd hear alarm.kick him in the tush..and roll over go back to sleep

lol, well he's our sole breadwinner and pretty much spoils me rotten so I don't mind too much. It's just that I've gotten used to being up all night and sleeping all day (our usual schedule) and the switch is rough

if I was still working outside the home, he'd be on his own

6:07 am

good morning everyone

might fix lunch if I felt like it but that'd be it

hi jean, welcome to the zoo

watch out, they're flinging bananas and booger-sicles

*ducks

6:07 am

6:36 am

Good morning. Headed off to work but wanted to check the icon-is-a-clue today. Mine will be familiar to USA hamburger fanatics or fans of Harry & Kumar Go to White Castle!!

6:37 am

Hi pink, saw you come on just as I left to go to sleep last night.

6:37 am

Hi pink, i'm just lurking. Not feeling so good so being a bit quiet today :-)

6:37 am

6:38 am

5 dratted re words to go

6:38 am

what is wrong katie/

6:39 am

3 dratted re words here

6:39 am

I need to check e-mail, then shower for tennis. Hi Carlee, Kitt, and weegee. 17F here and I hope it warms up this afternoon because we are going cross-country skiing.

6:40 am

thank you it's just toothache but getting fed up with it now. I'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out next Tuesday and at the moment I can't wait!!

6:41 am

Ah, I've good memories of x-country skiing in the caldera outside of Chama, New Mexico

6:41 am

going up to 30F and sunny here scrabs..there might be hope for u

6:41 am

toothache has to be the worst kind of pain there is!! i have the same problem at the moment but im too scared to see my dentist!

6:42 am

It will warm up when the sun makes its full appearance. And, Lil, get to the dentist before it is really bad and an emergency!

gm y'all

6:42 am

I know what you mean pink, it was only the pain which convinced me to go!

6:43 am

I'm off to work all. Stay happy!

6:43 am

1 re to go

hagd wee

6:43 am

bye weegee

6:44 am

I don't know about toothaches, but bad headaches/migtraines are what get to me...Hi again!

6:44 am

now..1 s and am finished

6:44 am

well, i can see myself going in the near future....i hate dentists they frighten the hell out of me and always seem to look unkept!!... bye weegee have a good day!

6:45 am

there..done..fun grid today

6:46 am

i like the dentist... but i've always had nice dentists

6:46 am

congrats carlee!!!

6:46 am

lucky you

6:46 am

Congrats Carlee...it's been nice having a run of larger harder ones

6:47 am

this one just twisted nicely

6:47 am

bye everyone - might watch a movie b4 I get to bed

6:47 am

nite nite lynxx

6:48 am

goodnight lynxxx, sleep well!!

6:48 am

ok...gone to lounge ab out until the household gets up

6:48 am

bye carlee!

6:48 am

Congrats Carlee, and Pink, go to the dentist. Yiou gotta set a good, non-frightened example for little Pink!

6:49 am

Little pink definately has to go so whe has nice teeth when she grows up :-)

6:50 am

i know Uni, i will go cos im in a lot of pain myself! lil pink will never know that i have a fear of dentists, she goes already!

6:51 am

I think you'll be surprised what she'll pick up...my mum is not afraid of dentists, but had to go a lot when i was little. as i grew up, i became terrified of them even with my mother being a strong influence of them being good.

6:54 am

i wasn't scared of them growing up, but what really put me off them, was hearing this big man screaming his head off as the dentist drilled his teeth. I was genuinely freaked out!

6:54 am

Ay! That is why dental rooms should be soundproofed. The waiting is traumatizing, not what they do to you!

6:54 am

I just don't like the pain, noise and smell, however as I've got older I don't like the cost either :-(

6:55 am

do you pay for your treatment katie? i thought it was free?

6:56 am

The cost is ridiculous. Two small fillings and a checkup cost the same as my two pair of brand new high precription AND thinned glasses.

hello everyone.. this one is difficult today

6:57 am

No it costs quite a bit if you do not get NHS treatment, it's still quite expensive even if you get NHS but have to pay.

6:57 am

It should be about £180 for the two wisdom teeth to be removed.

6:58 am

oh, wow...shows you how often i go to the dentist lol

6:58 am

hi johnnyr

6:59 am

your right Johnny I'm really having problems :-)

only 42 words and ready to get help from lickety

*returns from thermostat smacking bearing cocoa for all

7:01 am

Wow! I wish! Here, it is over 100 bucks for a tooth to be removed but you pay about twice as much at least to get a wisdom tooth out. I likely need all mine out and will result in over 1000. Thus, I don't do it. University doesn't lend itself to big spending

7:10 am

Sorry, I killed the chat :(

you? nah, I thought it was me and the cocoa

guess everyone's just eyeball deep in the grid

7:14 am

Mm, cocoa!

chocolate hazelnut to be precise

7:15 am

I am not big on hazelnut, but I might make myself a cup of hot chocolate in a minute..

I have amaretto too and white chocolate almond and chocolate mocha

7:16 am

Sorry lost attention again!! I have two meetings this afternoon, must remember not to make any major decisions :-)

7:16 am

I guess you have quite the selection! A connosieur? Man, I can NOT spell that word.

:o)

7:17 am

connoisseur is what I meant

ya got close enough even if it isn't right

7:18 am

The silliest words are immensely difficult to spell sometimes

indeed they are

alright, time for Lickety... I made it to at least half way and have at least one word from every usable box on the grid

7:19 am

I am trying for halfway...closest I will have got without a list so far, but I don't see it happening!

7:19 am

Hey you've done well metal. I have ground to a halt on 99 words and still have 5 boxes with no words off :-)

I got stuck at about eighty five words and had to get up for a change of scene. when I came back, the words were difficult, but some have been findable.

can someone explain to be about the points. For instance. Am5, 14... how do you get the 14?

7:22 am

I am only at 68...have decided to work box by box. I am not used to stat tiles, yet.

most of mine so far are the short ones... only have 1 7 and 10 of the 33 6's

7:22 am

so what is the deal? how do the letters need to be connected in order for a word to count?

7:22 am

Johnny, 5 represents number of letters in word and 14 represents total point value of all letters. Because it is a five letter word, you add up all tiles then multiply that number by 2. For a 6 letter word, it would e point toal multiplied by 3 and so on.

okay.. I got ya! Thanks uni

7:23 am

Could I have a clue for the i on the top row. It is now the only box I don't have a word for!!

7:23 am

Metal...I have almost all 4s, 3 6s, no 7s! I always need list to guide me to biggies

katie... think a 5 letter word for shy.... then take off the beginning consonant for one word, then make it plural for another

7:25 am

could anybody help me out, please?

what help do you need fustuche?

7:26 am

fut - each letter in the word needs to have contact with the next letter via tiles. Can be side by side, up/down and diagonally.

7:26 am

well, i was trying to figure out...oh, thanks uniquity - you answered my question. thanks, metal, too.

7:26 am

If you have jsut started, I suggest you read the help section (above chat) and angelsongs babble page (below grid in friends of babble box). Each of these contains information to start you off.

7:27 am

Oh, and you can't use the same tile more than once in the same word.

7:27 am

oh ok, i'll get to reading. thanks.

same letter yes, same exact tile no

7:27 am

imids

7:28 am

sorry, wrong box

'salright fust... it happens to all of us at one time or another

7:30 am

aw, this is giving me a headache and anger from very early in the morning! :)

7:30 am

If you need any other explanations, shout out! Someone always answers eventually, just many have been here so long or so little that they have forgotten or don't know how to restart

7:31 am

It's quite similar to boggle, gridwise. At least, the way I always played boggle. If you are frustrated, there is also "lickety's babble clues" below the grid in friends of babble box. That shows you how many words start with which letters, which will nudge you on the way!

7:31 am

excellent...thanks, very helpful

ahh nuts, I realized I can't go to Lickety's yet... no word from the bottom left S

7:32 am

I just read back, thanks for the i word metal, I was trying to get some

heh heh heh

5 second rule

got one

yw Uni

7:33 am

Good job metal!

7:34 am

Ooh, greyed a box! Actually, 2! (plus 2 empties)

go Uni, yer on a roll now!

7:34 am

hi, all. plowing through the grid like a hot knife through butter.

7:34 am

Oooh...I think angel is on a roll!

7:36 am

17 words to go.

*sidles up next to Angel and waits for some of the luck to fall on me

7:38 am

**sprinkling halo dust on metaleather**

**rubs it in and waits for the magic to happen but keeps working on my own in the mean time

7:41 am

**waits anticipatorily for Angel's grand finish**

7:43 am

Good morning just checking my icon update

7:43 am

Oooh...greyed another!

7:43 am

Hey MM

7:43 am

Metal, just got the i words, thank you.

7:43 am

finding an A word also gave me a T word...

7:43 am

Now you're showing off Uni :-)

7:44 am

hi uni

7:44 am

I am sooo close to halfway. This is the best I have ever done without a list, and I am so excited!!!

7:44 am

I'll be popping in and out today. I have lots of office work to do.

7:44 am

Although, the A words are kicking my butt!

7:45 am

Watch out on the popping MM, caitlyn says it's bad on the joints

7:45 am

7:48 am

how are you feeling?

7:49 am

cool, MM. I've missed you! what kind of business? I feel a lot better here, with less stress in the environment.

7:49 am

I'm so glad you are feeling better. I bought the kindermusik studio I was working for before. Now I get to do all the office work, advertising and recruiting as well as the teaching

7:49 am

I'm really busy but I am absolutely LOVING it!

7:50 am

6 7's

8:02 am

oh, wow

8:02 am

I started the Babble Resource Guide originally as a page/set of pages stored on my hard drive for personal use. then I put it online for everyone to use.

8:03 am

that means I am in some serious trouble right now... :)

I know the feeling Tuva

I am a Kindermusik educator. I work with infants through seven year olds in music classes

8:11 am

interesting Angel !! - i also taught myself to develop web pages years ago... but i stopped at Java scripts.... has html really changed that much in say, 5 years ?

8:13 am

I don't know about five years ago, because I wasn't doing design then. but I enjoy XML a lot.

8:14 am

XML...hummm, will have to look into that... when i have some time...

8:15 am

When shovelling stops, you mean?

8:15 am

I also just updated my blog. I have an entirely new template and some neat bells and whistles.

8:15 am

lol hazel... snowing pretty hard right now !!

8:15 am

I'll have to go look at your blog angel. I have one at wordpress. I need to post something today.

235 and FIREWORKS!

8:16 am

bravo nono

I love reading other people's blogs but have never had one of my own... I've never thought I had anything that interesting to say

8:16 am

ok babblers, now im really here -- good morning again!!

8:16 am

congrats Nono

hoooorayyyyy Nono!

8:16 am

Poor man. You must be very patient with upper arms like Popeye.

hello for real this time Eva

8:16 am

Congratulations Nono!

8:17 am

wd Nono !!

8:17 am

I'm really surprised how many people read mine meta.

8:17 am

Hi there for real Eva !

8:17 am

so, my sis-in-law was scheduled for her C-section at 7:30 this morning... right about now, ive got a niece!

8:17 am

our snow has stopped. It is frigidly cold and sunny right now. Supposed to go up to 40 degrees f today

8:17 am

regular upper arms hazel... but patient for sure...

8:17 am

congrats Evan

8:18 am

Good day to you, good people.

8:18 am

I'm really not supposed to be here...But congratulations Eva! That is so exciting!

8:18 am

going to work yesterday morning, it was minus 21 degrees C with a windchill factor of minus 33 C...

8:18 am

Hello Vicuna and Uniquity. Nice to see you both!

8:18 am

nice auntie Eva !!

8:19 am

Now that's my kind of weather montreal

8:19 am

Congrats, EvaN. Is this your first foray into aunthood?

8:19 am

You're a well practised nephew auntie, aren't you, Eva?

8:19 am

hi Uni and Vicuna !

8:19 am

ill make my way over to th hospital tomorrow, so ill hopefully find out her name then -- my sis-in-law has a habit of not choosing the name until they threaten to not let her take the baby home...heh

8:19 am

Mighty chilly here, too. Only - 10 C, but that's cold enough for me.

8:19 am

doubly-so, haz! :)

8:20 am

well musicmom, do you get weather anything of the kind in Ohio ?

8:20 am

I thought so. You'll have great fun with your niece as well.

8:20 am

All my brothers almost left un-named!

8:20 am

yes -- my mom, sis-in-law + i are all very excited to have a girl. ;)

8:21 am

Don't you have a period of reflection allowed? We have up to six weeks to register the birth of a baby and think of names.

8:21 am

not that cold Montreal. My husband and I did a mission trip to Manitulin (sp) Island about 13 years ago. I wanted to stay but he wasn't so keen on the idea

8:22 am

With a c-section she has a lot longer before she'll be leaving the hospital. Your niece could go 4 or 5 days without a name!

8:22 am

9 F was pretty cold for here this morning. We sometimes get negative temps but not often.

8:22 am

Manitulin hummm ... will have to look it up ... --- 120 down, 115 to go - time for break - happy babbling all "POOF"

8:23 am

Bye montreal - see you later.

8:23 am

she had a few names in mind, but it doesnt mean she will actually choose any of them...heh

8:23 am

9:05 am

Goodness, it's dull here in chat this morning! Haz, couldn't you be getting into some trouble or something?

9:05 am

Inge, can you juggle?

9:05 am

pink, how about some wild animal taming?

9:06 am

metaleather, you're in charge of the flying trapeze.

9:07 am

(oops, and I said a word, too. So that's my contribution.)

9:07 am

im not really here vic..im sort of between watching my daughter and her friend play, washing clothes, and babbling!

9:07 am

Okay... watching children may count as wi4 animal training...

9:08 am

lol

9:10 am

Trouble? Me? Getting into trouble?

9:10 am

I know, I know, it was a crazy thought.

9:10 am

I'm still trying to come to terms with the concept.

9:11 am

It would mean I would have to do something wrong, wouldn't it?

9:13 am

I'll ponder that while I take daughter to hairdresser. Back soon - unless I ram-raid a shop along the way.

9:13 am

what do the 7's start with please

9:13 am

Okay, Haz. See you later - a report back on the mayhem!

9:18 am

9:20 am

9:20 am

There's a wi7/48.

9:22 am

thanks Vicuna

9:23 am

Good morning, pabtrek. In the interests of livening up the chat log today, would you be willing to try some sword-swallowing?

9:25 am

hmm, maybe, i do need a tonsilectomy

9:25 am

I like your positive spirit. Always looking at the bright side.

9:31 am

*whistles*

9:31 am

Hurshy! Can I count on you this morning?

9:31 am

count on me for what?

9:32 am

or do you mean like, count using my fingers.

9:32 am

To liven up the chat log!

9:32 am

oh, um, i don't know. i'm at work and can never tell when i may need to disappear

9:32 am

hello

9:33 am

Oh sigh. Where has all the mayhem gone?

9:33 am

does anyone have an icon clue today?

9:33 am

Hello, harp! Can you do any tricks?

9:33 am

i can produce mayhem this evening if you like.

9:33 am

Hmmm... Let me look at my selection of words and see whether any seem inspiring...

9:34 am

Alas, I always try to finish before dinner these days, so your kind mayhem would not benefit me.

9:35 am

I can give you a clue poem:

9:35 am

Here's why Ida Pulled a spider From her glass of apple ci5:

9:35 am

a) to save its life and b) To have her ci5 spider free.

9:36 am

good poem, thanks vic!

9:38 am

Glad to be of service. I don't have any exciting words yet, I'm afraid.

9:45 am

do fl 6/30 vi

9:46 am

You trying to make me read int he face?

9:46 am

or even red in the face?

9:46 am

:)

I would like to say that doric is a word.. it is a type of colum

column.. ha ha

9:48 am

we've complained about that, yea, many and many a day now...

9:48 am

Yes, johnnyr, that word has been a source of frustration many times before. =P

9:50 am

lol vi - put a blank icon up for de6/24

9:50 am

But Corinthian would certainly be a proper noun, so I suppose Doric may be, too.

9:52 am

de6/24, eh? looking...

9:52 am

ahh, very good!

9:53 am

I probably already have an e5 icon floating around somewhere, but that isn't so exciting...

9:55 am

i just spent half an hour looking for a good picture of the guy who sings "you are sixteen going on seventeen"

9:55 am

couldn't find one

9:55 am

lol, harp. Was it that difficult?

9:56 am

couldn't find a good one anyway

9:56 am

The internet is always easy for everything except the one thing I want at any given moment!

9:58 am

i learned some interesting trivia though

9:58 am

Such as?

gosh... i have 149 to go, and I am all out of thoughts. HA

9:59 am

the actor has a son whose middle name is ro4/7

9:59 am

homage to his role

10:00 am

Named after his role, or coincidentally?

10:00 am

harp - google images, dan truhitte, there are a couple of him with liesl...

10:00 am

Oops, you already answered. lol

10:01 am

10:01 am

10:02 am

10:03 am

I took a qick note of the letters earlier and had so little success I was hoping I had copied them down wrong but now I am back sadly I hadnt!!

10:04 am

10:07 am

i dunno harp i think i'm highly offended that you won't

10:08 am

WHy don't you use it then, hursh?

10:08 am

You would look so handsome.

10:08 am

10:08 am

Well, but your nephew's not int he grid today, is he.

10:08 am

10:13 am

10:13 am

You got it, hurshy.

10:14 am

fhi s

10:15 am

Back later. If anyone sees Haz, tell her I await a full mayhem report.

10:15 am

when i was in k-g, half the kids did am and half pm for half the year, then we switched. i had afternoon the first half. when we switched to morning i was so afraid of missing the bus, i got up at like 2 or 3 AM and dressed and went down to wait on the couch (i had no clock). my mom found me asleep there when she got up.

10:15 am

good morning all, lol, fingers in wrong position there

10:15 am

I'm back. Somebody wanted mayhem?

10:15 am

MAYHEM!

10:16 am

sure, show up when she has to leave...

10:16 am

And just when i have to go, no fair!

10:16 am

hello everyone? is mayhem on the agenda?

10:16 am

Sorry!

10:17 am

morning Annie and Haz

10:17 am

But do you want to hear how I got another driver into trouble? He got himself into trouble but I witnessed it.

10:17 am

hi flosey!

10:17 am

do tell

10:17 am

Please tell us, Hazel!

10:18 am

here is my phantom word of the day .... chloride

10:19 am

hi everyone!!!

10:19 am

Well, in the manner of a police report..... I was proceeding along a dual carriageway (two laned highway) and in the process of accelerating to pass a lorry (truck), when I noticed a blue car behind me. This blue car driving man was impatient. He decided not to wait for me to finish passing the lorry, he moved into the inside lane, swerved in front of me and passed the lorry.

10:19 am

hi armygrl

10:20 am

undertaking how dare he!!

10:20 am

I flashed my lights at him but sweeter yet was the sight of blue lights flashing behind me. I passed the lorry, and was then overtaken by a police car. It pursued the blue car man, brought him to a standstill and I whizzed past. Justice was sweet and swift.

10:21 am

as the kids say - well wicked Haz!!!

10:21 am

wow Haz, sounds like some Toronto drivers

10:21 am

It cheered me up no end, I can tell you.

10:21 am

indeed, sure feels good to see them get caught

10:22 am

Wil we see it on Road Wars soon!!

10:22 am

the blue car man will get his just deserts! Am I using the correct desert?

10:22 am

That would make me feel very, very good. Yay for Haz!

10:22 am

I think so, Annie, coming from what he deserves?

10:24 am

Yes, that makes sense. You are our Chief and you illustrated the correct on the highway as you should!

10:24 am

So, the moral of the story is, if you're going to do something stupid, check your mirrors beforehand. And then DON'T DO IT.

10:24 am

*correct way

10:25 am

or dont get caught! BUT that is cheating!

10:25 am

Anyway, apologies for interrupting the chat - I must scroll back to see what I've missed.

10:25 am

there is only a moral to the story if you get caught

10:26 am

I'm glad he got caught. Was that immoral of me?

10:26 am

hip hip hooray for sweet revenge! Logged on just in time to read your story, Haz.. yay.. (-:

10:27 am

Hello Aloy - nice to see you!

10:27 am

wow, those th words are odd - but easy

10:27 am

BR???? Who is the man in your icon?

10:28 am

just came back from the airport.. aah, last of the chilluns is gone; now grandma and grandpa can relax some

10:29 am

You can relax with babble, Aloy. You enjoyed your time with them?

10:30 am

oh, yes, Haz.. we had a wonderful holiday! Did your daughter come home from school ?

10:30 am

ah aloy, the bliss of the peace and quiet - wonderful to have them but the commotion can wear thin eh

10:30 am

you know it, flosey.. (-:

10:30 am

or wear heavy perhaps

10:30 am

Yes, she did. She's been here since 21 December and going back on Sunday. It's going to be a busy semester for her.

10:31 am

Once she goes back, I may well be able to distinguish the colour of the carpet in her bedroom.

10:31 am

LOL.. understood!

10:31 am

1 to go - I'm missing an sa 6/21 - can anyone help?

10:32 am

i have the plural of the sa 5/12

10:32 am

the man is a rancher who lost his entire herd of cattle to a mud sl 5.12

10:32 am

The other one puts a vowel on the end of sa5/12

10:32 am

try the pl of the sa5.12

10:32 am

ah, got it, cheers haz :)

10:33 am

Well done ylleria.

10:33 am

oops, must not be that one...

10:33 am

ooh, ty Haz!

10:33 am

Glad it helped, Aloy.

10:38 am

Hi all.

10:39 am

Hi Scrabbler! Did you play tennis today?

10:39 am

hi, Scrabbler!

10:39 am

FYI....rodent + ha4/5 is not a word.

10:40 am

Yes, I am back from tennis and the next activity is cross-country skiing. My friend will arrive soon. She had to let her dog out to pee before she comes here.

10:40 am

how much snow do you have?

10:40 am

Chiley--how is your grandson's skin condition?

10:40 am

Hello Scrabbler.

10:41 am

I am looking for one of the first am5.14?? I have got the a+rodent any help appreciated!

10:41 am

We have a foot or snow and it is 20F but sunny. It will warm up into the 40's in the next few days.

10:41 am

Much better, thanks. I guess it was just one of those childhood mysteries.

10:42 am

Change the ending vowel

10:42 am

could I have a clue for re6/33 please?

10:42 am

Don Am5.14 had a handle-bar mustache

10:43 am

re 6 --- add princess ****ger; plural

10:43 am

re+ she's a ****ger

10:43 am

re+ she's a ****ger

10:43 am

re6/33 - a colour followed by the last three quarters of the state that voted yesterday.

10:43 am

got that one thanks it is the one before or after I am looking for Aloy.

10:43 am

super clue, Haz! got it

10:44 am

Glad it worked, Aloy and it's pluralled as well.

10:44 am

Ty, Hazel

10:44 am

re 6 is a polish dance, never would have seen that without the clues, thanks all, not using the list

10:44 am

the one before has the rodent in it, so you must need am4.6 with a different vowel, two versions actually

10:45 am

New word for me--I never would have tried that ending

10:45 am

thanks Luc and Haz

10:45 am

ooh, missed the plural.. double thanks!

10:45 am

No problem!

10:45 am

strange word!

10:45 am

what I meant was am4.6 + two different vowel endings

10:46 am

then you can extend the last am5.14 with the "alcohOL" ending..

10:46 am

ra7 please?

10:47 am

My icon is ra7, flosey.

10:47 am

I just got through all of the AM words--yippee. I have to get ready for skiing--packing lunch to eat in the lodge next to the fire.

10:47 am

ah, thanks Haz

10:47 am

I thought about putting the Cowboy series up, but even I didn't know the actors - just the name.

10:48 am

You're welcome, flosey.

10:48 am

my Labrador used to LOVE that ra7

10:48 am

thanks for the clue/icon

10:48 am

clint eastword played rowdy yates

10:48 am

The even I refers to my age rather than anything else, you understand.

10:48 am

I knew you'd know, Babble.

10:49 am

I can hear the theme tune but that's about all I remember of it.

10:50 am

Rowdy Yates - I presume he was the strong, silent type?

10:51 am

Oh boy Aloy am I thinkibg slowly today just got your Don clue!! Many thanks

congrats to montreal!!!!!

10:56 am

Well done montreal!

10:56 am

Yes it is my one and probably only the smiliest happiest baby you could wish for - but of course I am biased!!

10:56 am

tytyty "taking a bow with a sweeping gesture of my brand new fedora"

10:57 am

medical appt here, see you all later

10:57 am

ah, but that is your job, to be the MOST biased grandmum in the world... of the cutest baby in the world!

10:57 am

bye flosey - "REAL POOF"

10:57 am

bye, flosey...

10:58 am

she loved her first christmas - adored the wrapping paper escpecially if she could get it in her mouth!!

10:58 am

how old is she?

10:59 am

She looks absolutely adorable, Deeha.

10:59 am

hello

10:59 am

A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on. Carl Sandburg

11:00 am

but what does he know?

11:00 am

(j/k)

11:00 am

I often am a DT too, hurshy

11:01 am

DT?

11:01 am

these last 9 are tough, for me

11:01 am

hello, ML..

11:01 am

doubting thomas

11:01 am

am6 please?

11:01 am

hello aloy

11:01 am

ohhh.

11:02 am

hi Aloy, and all who've entered while I've been ensconced in the grid

11:02 am

add a consonant to the am5.14 right before

11:02 am

sorry had my head down! she is 6 months old next week

11:02 am

Would a drunken DT sometimes have the DTs?

11:02 am

howdy, metal..

11:02 am

phone.. brb

11:02 am

he would Haz, but he wouldn't believe he did

11:03 am

6 months is a great age. Old enough for you to know what they want, not old enough for them to move too far.

11:03 am

I expect DT's are susceptible to dts

11:03 am

i only have 2 5/14's and neither of those work

11:03 am

i'm not sure sandburg is correct, however. when referring to Jesus, the Bible states that he was not born of a husband's will and whatnot, but by God. which sort of implies that God is letting people go ahead and have kids by their will. and presumably when the world ends, there will still have been babies born up til that time.

11:04 am

so i think a baby is just a baby, and a cigar is just a cigar, and that's why people smoke cigars to celebrate a new baby.

11:05 am

But not in the vicinity of the baby, hopefully.

11:05 am

course not - in the hospital waiting room... no wait... not anymore...

11:05 am

DE/6/24 ashortage of something

11:05 am

I don't think a baby is ever JUST a baby

11:06 am

am 6/24?

11:06 am

i just tried a de5 word and it came up lol

11:06 am

well the others might be but mine.............!!!!

11:06 am

i need that to ruru

11:07 am

am6/24 - begin with french friend, finish with three quarters of a girl's plaything

11:07 am

i dont get it lol

11:08 am

Or, add the first two letters of Mr Hardy to the am4/6.

11:08 am

two exceptions... no, maybe three... sigh

11:09 am

thanks haz OH great one!

11:09 am

haz can you clue the AM4/6?

11:09 am

You're welcome, ruru.

11:09 am

am4/6 - indicating that you are in the centre of things.

11:10 am

Or, am plus two letters to indicate who you are.

11:10 am

or who your baser self is...

11:10 am

ty haz i got the plural too

11:10 am

TY Haz

11:10 am

Or, backwards low lighting/plus a vowel.

11:11 am

Good day, everyone! Clue for at7,48?

11:11 am

Or a plus the sort of wife who would deliver babies (being topical!)

11:11 am

the last am5.14 is a plural of the first am4.6, subject of many clues, lol

11:14 am

The second series of am5/14 - puts two different vowels on the end of the afore-mentioned and oft clued am4/6

1:08 pm

man those caucuses looked fun. i'm thinking of moving there just for that. housing is cheaper and apparently the jobs pay more than they do here. how is that fair?

1:08 pm

You see - you're not as averse as you were. Ha4/5shirt still itchy, though?

1:08 pm

mr pres could you give me his email adress please

1:08 pm

And it's a Bohemian dance, too.

1:09 pm

Nah, i gave up on the hairshirt. I am wearing my usual ermine robes again.

1:09 pm

hurshy, is it worth moving for a once in four year thing?

1:09 pm

moot point haz, as the other factors i mentioned are quite significant.

1:09 pm

Ermine robes and throne? We bow to your eminence.

1:10 pm

Well, I always say, because someone else has said it, if something looks too good to be true, then it probably isn't true. Is Iowa not a bit empty?

licketySplitAUS @ gmail .com

1:10 pm

who cares, i got no friends anyway

phantom: recoil

1:10 pm

is mr pres still on

1:10 pm

Well, at the very least, hurshy, you could point out that your on-line friends don't mind where you live.

1:11 pm

Oh... You did.

1:11 pm

Glad you added that, hurshy. I was going to huff.

1:11 pm

Good evening all It's pourning down with rain, thank goodness not snow!

Gratz Metaleather (Its Uni's Bro 135467i

1:18 pm

dagnabbit, next time i will pay better attention!

1:19 pm

Haz since when do you need me to be here to blame me, huh?

well, i said hello to a couple of people here who just haven't bothered to say hi back, had to resort to attention seeking behaviour now! or i might just be invisible!

1:19 pm

Well, that's true, but we needed something to set us off.

1:19 pm

Hmm. Well, hello, mrp, just in case.

1:19 pm

MRP please excuse the smudged nose, I have been buried in the grid. Did you have a good time camping?

1:20 pm

Hi again, mrp.

Back in a bit, got to check on my Travian Village

1:21 pm

By the way, FMitch, I managed to see 'I Am Legend' on Monday, and I thought it was pretty good, probably Will Smith's best film since 'I, Robot'

1:21 pm

You've not done a Britney, have you, mrp?

1:21 pm

i would watch it... on dvd

1:22 pm

i need to start that list

1:22 pm

Oh cheers mm, I've got hold of a copy of the book.

Oh, harrumph. Once again I must leave the party, taking my charmed snakes with me, to go fetch my progeny.

1:22 pm

1:27 pm

*starts sketching out plans for an extension to the PB*

all the interesting people go there

1:28 pm

i am sorry but i cannot make anything work. it has to fall alphabetically between the wh4.9 and th last wh5.20 does it not? and since the 5.20 is a plural of the 4.9 then it would stand to figure that the first four letters are the same........yet nothing works.

1:28 pm

somebody get a gun and shoot me.

include a wetbar fmitch!

1:28 pm

LOL

1:29 pm

hey the name of my my town is in grid :)

1:29 pm

HUZZAH for pink and anybody else who may have finished whilst i struggle

1:29 pm

hursh can u help me out? i have the wri word whats the other?

bbnaz, double the last letter of the wh4/9

1:29 pm

I wanna join the penalty box!! **whines**

1:29 pm

bbnaz add the same last letter to wh4/9, and then make it plural for the 6

1:29 pm

When I say more of the sound(wh5/20 - double the consonant on the end)

1:29 pm

I thought of you, Praise,a s I typed it in !

1:29 pm

1:29 pm

That's strange. There is no wri word....

1:30 pm

LOL uni

1:30 pm

Finally and officially...are we porange or red people? I have been thinking this over for three days now!

1:30 pm

Who's using 3rd letters???

porange?

1:31 pm

My gosh I can't type. I meant code orange or code red. Maybe I am a code myself...code purple.

1:31 pm

Beg your pardon, Uniquity?

1:31 pm

Uniquity, you're not thinking about orange in connection with an individual babbler, are you?

Congratulations bb!

Yep - only one of 'em (so that quashes all the triplet rumours for good!).

1:33 pm

LOL Becca

Congrats bb

1:34 pm

I don't know. These radiographers don't know everything. I've heard they can hide (triplets).

1:34 pm

just think though Becca, if you have multiples, you only have to do it once!

1:34 pm

I bet they all hid one behind the other just to fool you Becca.

1:34 pm

If they moved in a line Becca...

Well, they were hiding pretty well if there were three in there!

1:34 pm

sorry hursh its a past tense word, people sometimes like to rewrite books that someone already wro***.

1:34 pm

hello everyone...karys has finished.....AND she did the bathrooms.. AND she vacuumed a bit... AND she did some ironing..... AND...AND........!!

1:34 pm

See - FMitch has heard that as well.

1:35 pm

army, please can you stop using 3rd letters we like to stick to 2. Hi Karys

All well Karys - had scan today. No problems noted, baby hiccupped a few times - very cute.

1:36 pm

Oh well. I suppose we'll just have to accept that it's just one baby. But you'll need help choosing names.

1:36 pm

becca....I have a new baby grandchild due in July

It refused to look at the camera though. And looks like a monstor on one picture :o(

1:36 pm

No wonder that cat is smiling for Karys!

Oh, congrats Karys!

1:37 pm

Becca do you know whether it is a boy or a girl?

1:37 pm

Pick a really outlandish name...someting to be proud of

1:37 pm

baby? baby? what have i missed?

1:37 pm

Outlandish - what can we come up with?

1:37 pm

no becca...but needs to be a girl this time....5 grandsons between us

Too early to tell Praise - and I don't think I want to know. I like surprises. Besides, that gives Haz chance to think of twice as many names ;o)

1:38 pm

LOL Becca

1:38 pm

That won't stop us Becca

1:38 pm

Just Haz?

1:38 pm

mr.pres can u help me! i have 1 wr word can you give me a clue for the other.here is the 1 i have: its a past tense word, people sometimes like to rewrite books that someone already wr****.

1:38 pm

:)

1:38 pm

I think I would rather be surprised too

1:38 pm

We had hoped for triplet girs - Milly, Molly and Mandy. Boys could have been Tom Dick and Harry.

we wanted to call the kids Odette and Remy, but our last name is too difficult and would have not worked

1:38 pm

that is the way that I was when I was pregnant with daughter

1:38 pm

oohh...Haz...the world is your oyster there then !

My mum wants a granddaughter too Karys, but my eldest nephew is praying for another boy!

1:38 pm

Larry, Curly and Moe?

1:39 pm

I think it is a girl..I decided at some pont.

army, when god punished people, he is said to send the wr*** of his anger on them

winkin' blinkin' and nod?

1:39 pm

I love boys really...but would love to have a girl

Thanks, but... no, metal!!

1:40 pm

how did i miss that!!!!!!!

1:40 pm

Karys lurvves boys Karys lurvves boys. Oh you didn't mean like that, I, er, sigh.

1:40 pm

Any family history to be taken into consideration, Becca? Roots in another country or anything?

1:40 pm

lots of Alfie's and Jack's around at the moment, locally

LOL FMitch!!

1:41 pm

Mitch...that would be toy boys then ?

1:41 pm

does anyone have the first am?

Not Alfie - I work with the elderly - I want a younger name for this bubba.

1:41 pm

becca, congratulation on your news :-)

1:41 pm

bichon..a + small rodent

No Haz - we're free to pick anything, no roots or anything

1:42 pm

a+ a certain rodent

Thanks Katie

1:42 pm

a + small rodent, bichon

1:42 pm

doesn't much appeal to me either becca

when I had my son, I was the youngest mum in the hospital (30) compared to all the 1st timers (40), and out of 8 boys, they were all called some variation of Finn... it was scary

1:42 pm

ty Jellen

and the 3 girls that were born were all called Grace

1:43 pm

The dog next door is called Finnbar. Some Irish saint

Ooh, that's weird mrp!

1:43 pm

I love tha name Grace

1:43 pm

I like Daisy

Fionbhar

Pronounced, Fin-var

1:44 pm

Daisy is lovely :-)

1:44 pm

I never asked how they spelled it, interesting

1:44 pm

but not for a boy

I like Caitlyn (pinched from our Caitlyn in babble of course!)

1:44 pm

I think I liie that too becca

1:44 pm

*like

bh in Irish Gaelic is usually a 'v' sound.

1:44 pm

we have 2 gret nieces named Londyn and Lola

1:44 pm

Daisy's a rather old-fashioned name. You never see it anymore in the US

Hubby likes Milly (for a girl!)

if I'd ever had a girl, she'd have been named Josephine, after my mother

that explains siobhan

1:45 pm

hi katie!!!!!!!!!!!

My half sister is called Josephine

1:45 pm

hi army :-)

1:45 pm

I know bichon...I like Elsie too...and that IS old fashioned

1:45 pm

If I'd had a girl, she'd be Ellen Kathryn.

1:45 pm

There are lots of Siobhans in the US.

1:45 pm

how far are you in the grid K.W.

That's a nice name Jellen

1:46 pm

Irish names are "in"

1:46 pm

I chose Jessica for my second youngest had he been a girl

Don't think my Scottish dad would allow an Irish name!!

1:46 pm

I've got 141 so far and have just gone to the list

1:46 pm

I changed my name from a very common 50's names to an Israeli one

1:46 pm

Hi everyone!! :)

1:46 pm

best not becca !

1:46 pm

hi carra

hi carra :)

Hi carra

1:47 pm

hi carra

Welsh names might be OK though - they live in Cardiff now

from Beryl to ...?

1:47 pm

Hi, carra

1:47 pm

sort of halfway then becca

1:47 pm

Hi Armygrl, Mrp, Becca, Karys & Jellen! :)

1:47 pm

cheryl !

LOL Karys, yes I suppose so!

1:48 pm

Halfway between Scotland and Wales - you're looking at an English name.

LOL !! Cheryl is a very bogan name here

1:48 pm

now going slow because Custard has come up to sit next to me and have some fuss for the first time in the 18 months I have known her :-) very special moment!

Fred it is then Haz!

1:48 pm

there you are then...Daisy !

1:48 pm

aaahh katie

A very nice, never used Welsh name is Macsen....I was going to call my son Rhanon....with I'm kind of sorry I didn't.

1:48 pm

Fred or Frederika covers the bases.

1:48 pm

Fred for a boy, Winifred for a girl? (devoutly hoping not)

1:49 pm

like the Rhanon doroth

Got it from Willow....it's the male of Rhiannon.

not, Haz, def not!

1:50 pm

You could probably have a whole family of ideal sounding children. Frank, Ernest, Honor, Charity, Patience, Constance.

1:50 pm

xfactor!!!!!!!!

1:50 pm

Very Enid Blyton Haz :)

1:50 pm

have a nephew called Freddie....can't get to grips with that somehow

1:50 pm

You'd be kicking yourself when they reach teenage years and can only snarl at you.

1:50 pm

Hope, never forget cope. And chastity

1:50 pm

and Charity

1:51 pm

oh no...you did that one !

1:51 pm

Never forget Cope? Is that the organised one in the family?

1:51 pm

that used to be me then !

I was surprised to find out that Beyonce is an aboriginal name

1:51 pm

Absolutely

1:51 pm

gooood morning all!

1:51 pm

Hope was the last thing to be released from Pandora's box. Fitting. The worst for last.

Never would have guessed that mrp

1:52 pm

Hi, ardilla

1:52 pm

You surprise me, mrpresident, I didn't know that.

Hi ardilla

1:52 pm

good morning ardilla

1:52 pm

Good morning ardilla.

1:52 pm

Hello ardilla

hi ardilla :)

1:54 pm

MrP...we have a grandson in Brisbane called Otis...don't know where they got that from !

Otis! that is a different name... it is usually reserved for pets

no offence!

1:55 pm

LOL.,..LOL...

1:55 pm

I remember you talking about him, Karys. We always think of lift manufacturers with that name.

Probably the escalator - Otis

1:55 pm

Or lift manufacturers?

LOL doroth!

1:55 pm

me too !

1:55 pm

lol fmitch

did she give birth in the hospital lift?

1:55 pm

or the AARvark

1:56 pm

Aardvark...even

cause that might explain it

There are so many reasons to not choose a name - makes it very hard to settle on one!

1:56 pm

no MrP...and we have been prewarned as to the next one, should it happen !

1:56 pm

hey * lobbing spit ball at uni*

1:56 pm

Plus, the personality even at birth might oppose your faovrite name entirely. Yeah, you can have favorites but some names just don't suit some people.

1:57 pm

hi all! back for final 49--friends new grandbaby is named oscar,, all we can thin of is the grouch

Hi carlee, hi beth

1:57 pm

Real machooor Carlee ;)

1:57 pm

LOL beth!

1:57 pm

My advice - don't choose a name that you have to spell out every time.

hi carle :)

1:57 pm

there is a story going around here about a woman that named her twins orangejello and lemonjello

1:57 pm

i think of oscar and felix.... congrats...

Horatio Landseer Ignatious Smith?

hi beth :)

1:57 pm

Aren't you glad you came on, Becca?

i sat in a waiting room at a doctors surgery with a woman who had 4 girls.... Krystel Lyndel Michelle Narelle she decided to go alphabetically to make it easier

2:00 pm

back in a mo'

2:00 pm

hi mrp was scrolling thru chat, i feel your pain @ hair, i have been putting head on table & placing "bad" hand on head to hold hair in place until i can put pins in with good hand :/ i am a real thing of bauty when i get thru!

2:00 pm

oreillia?

2:00 pm

I gave birth at the same time as a woman who was calling her girls names beginning with P and ending with a. There are a surprising number.

2:00 pm

opele?

Love it here Haz - wouldn't miss this for anything :o)

2:01 pm

what about the hair mrp?

2:01 pm

Just wait until we're helping you through the birth. ONE MORE PUSH!!

oh beth, the hair had to go to make it easier... couldn't even clip it up anymore

I knew a family of 6 who all had the initials MW

You are NOT coming to the birth! Any of you!

katie, I had it all cut back, thinned out, cause it was like a horses tail

2:02 pm

We are Becca, got the coach booked and everything!

2:02 pm

Webcam? We'd be good, honestly.

2:02 pm

what did that make your head mr. p?

2:03 pm

hehehe just kidding.....

2:03 pm

my husband was trying to help, but couldn't quite grasp concept that pins go thru hair not scalp & blood vessels. scalp wounds bleed surprisingly fast-

Won't tell you where I live *nahnahnahnahnah*

2:03 pm

When are you due, Becca. Need to make travel arrangements now. :-)

horses ass right here!

2:03 pm

lol, beth, and ouch!

Fair enough mrp - that's a good law

hi darth! :)

4:42 pm

i've been to france tyger, hope you are well and had a nice christmas

4:42 pm

Hip buristis is quite common, due to the fact that ther is a fixed bursa in the hip, just like the shoulder. Many times cortisone injections will resolve the problem, if it recurs then you have to determine if there ios a mechanical cause.

tyger was your problem bursitis too?

scrabs sounds wonderful. see you later.

4:42 pm

bye scrabs, where do you get the energy?!?

4:43 pm

later scrabbler, see you soon!

i meant the skiing!

MLF, well, one 5 is a scottish idiom, the other is the first name of the lead character in the old series, Gunsmoke

cause = a fall

4:43 pm

The skiing WAS glorious---a sunny day, in the woods, then lunch in the lodge by a fire.

funny with noggin..the more games I play in one session, the worse I get. I'll start out very strongly, then get worse. I'm a sprinter, not a marathoner, I guess.

I'm going to have to leave shortly, all. maybe 10 minutes more

The b.fs parents may visit. I try to do 30min of house work a day. Also after 'service' of food the kitchen is cleaned

good plan, herin :)

5:57 pm

One of my daughter's coworkers in Las Vegas was taken to hail for grand larseny this morning. Ouch

5:58 pm

*jao, I meant to say

owww

5:58 pm

*JAIL

not a friend, I trust, inge?

5:58 pm

am6/24 pls if anyone has it

5:58 pm

yikes, Inge..stealing from work, or something else?

5:58 pm

any clues for the ra7?

am6/24: am + upright vowel + one ***lar bill

5:59 pm

wELL, SHE DID give him a Christmas present. He sort of made up the work schedules and had akey to the stoe

Wow thats a big deal Inge. Gulp. Silly woman. Let me guess that the woman had a gambling problem

5:59 pm

OK, I already got paged and my on-call adventure began 30 min ago.

ra7: compound word ra* (not cooked) + **** & seek (game)

6:00 pm

6:00 pm

6:00 pm

Do u have to go, Scrabbler, or just a phone consult?

Later Scrabble

Oh sorry then let me guess HE had gambling problem?

6:01 pm

No, I am staying, Inge. I finished the call--a father wanted to know how to make his son's runny nose go away.

:)

sounds very plausible

oh, gosh, scrabs

6:01 pm

did you tell him to gt a new one, or to cut if off?

6:01 pm

The nose or the runny parts?

6:01 pm

Snap, Inge

sounds like a very green parent

LOL

6:02 pm

I never have to go into the office or ER when on call. I did make a house call on New Year's Day as the family lives near where I was.

6:03 pm

Parents call for questions that can be easily answered of they opened a parenting or child care book, but they find it quicker to call us and they have NO shame about calling at all hours. I was telling people here about my lice question during the night on Tues night.

6:16 pm

Yes, Pam, I realize how grateful I am about everything now and to not whine because Mary has it far tougher.

how are her kids, scrabs?

6:16 pm

how are you doing jo?

is the oldest doing okay?

ISTR the oldest is around the age I was when my mother got ovarian cancer

6:17 pm

I believe our concern sends rays of healing vibes...

6:18 pm

The ol5 two (7 and 3) miss their mom sooooo much and have been crying and not wanting to sleep alone. Mary will reamin hospitalized for at least 6 more wks for intense rehab.

6:18 pm

Thanks Ty, I had the singular and not the plural! DUH

okay, they're not as old as I was, but plenty old enough to be upset. are they considering counseling for the kids?

6:18 pm

Child with hollow leg needs food. Think I'll call his dr. at 2am and see what I can do about that. ;) BBL

yw, candy

6:18 pm

Xmas vacation was tough for the kids--no structure of school and activities AND no mom at home.

later, krista

poor little tykes.

6:19 pm

hello all

6:19 pm

ahh, that is so sad scrabs, we are all sending healing vibes to mary and love to her and her family

hey, praise!

6:19 pm

bye krista and take care

6:19 pm

hi p2h

6:19 pm

I spoke with a wonderful child psychologist one week ago and the father talked to her too. Appts are upcoming.

6:20 pm

Hi p2h

6:20 pm

GREAT, scrabs!

6:20 pm

Hi, p2

EXCELLENT. so glad to hear it. I didn't get therapy until I was in my 40s - a great waste

6:20 pm

When did your mom die, tyger?

6:20 pm

Were you very young when you had a loss, tyger?

6:20 pm

Have you read "Motherless Daughters"?

my mother died about 2 weeks after my 13th birthday

no, I haven't. never heard of it

6:21 pm

did your mam get through it tyger

6:21 pm

anyone have a clue for the th6/33?

6:21 pm

sorry to hear that tyger

6:21 pm

oh, tyger, what a hard, hard age to lose your mom. (((((hugs)))))

th6/33 only 2 vowels in whole word - clue upcoming

6:21 pm

th + wa4 = (to deter or defend)

6:22 pm

ty scrabbler

th6/33: th + not a mole, but a **** (useta say caused by toads)

6:22 pm

thanks, scrabs and tyger!

thx, pam. yup, it was rough

6:22 pm

So sad, Tyger--how did your father do--himself AND for helping you?

yw, pam

he coped for himself, but didn't do very well for me. Long story, rather not talk about it

I still love him, you understand, and I understand that he was struggling

6:23 pm

big hugs tyger

6:23 pm

Author = Hope Edelman. Title = "Motherless Daughters". There is a followup book = Letters from Motherless Daughters

6:24 pm

Most widowers struggle.

6:24 pm

{{{{{{{{{{healing vibes}}}}}}}}} to all!!!!

6:24 pm

I loved both books, tyger.

I had a really superb therapist when I finally got help, and she made an enormous difference for me

thx, pam

6:25 pm

i'm glad to hear it tyger

just saw, thx, lilli - thx for all the hugs, etc

6:25 pm

I have had the same shrink for 17+ yrs and wouldn't be here if not for him.

6:25 pm

phantom= criminal

6:25 pm

that is a good ending tyger,

6:25 pm

Some criminals are phantoms.

6:26 pm

yw, tyger, anytime, i'm good at hugs

6:26 pm

LOL, scrabs...

yup, CRP, in less than a year, she helped me recover a lot of stuff I'd lost, and adjust to lots I'd never been able to resolve

6:27 pm

Great, great, Tyger!!!

6:27 pm

you are lucky you found a good therapist

6:27 pm

i wasn't so lucky

my insurance only paid for just so many visits, so she structured it to get through as much as possible

6:27 pm

ouch tyg feel soo for you

yes, I was very, very fortunate

6:27 pm

I had a FABULOUS PTSD doc--without her, I would not have made it....

I've had a difficult life, it's true, but there are people with far worse problems

glad to hear it, pam. that's a very difficult problem

6:28 pm

you have a great attitude, god bless you

6:28 pm

Yep, I agree too.

6:28 pm

lost mom at 36 and ..she knew and me being baby wouldn;t tell me

6:28 pm

so hard, joanne...

6:28 pm

that's where we have it easier here with not having insurance we go to the hospital and see different doctors as much as needed

my faith in God holds me up, CRP. without it, I doubt I'd have survived until I got help

6:28 pm

has anyone heard of a show (stupid) jerry springer??

6:29 pm

oh yeah

that's unfortunate, joanne. you could have been at least somewhat prepared

6:29 pm

Same for me, tyger---God has carried me through so much.

6:29 pm

it's a throw your family smut out there..well my family ranks in there'

so what did Springer do to you, joanne? or for?

6:30 pm

my hubby lost his mam 12 years ago and she was in her 50's and she told him she was dying but not his dad or brother so he could look after them

that's too bad, joanne. at least I had a wonderful childhood

6:30 pm

yes tyg ..i was but she just wouldn't tell me

6:30 pm

that's what i think i needed to hear

why did your MIL put the burden on your hubby, lilli??

6:31 pm

i couldn't cry

6:31 pm

20 left--I will return after the first period of the hockey game.

later, scrabs

6:31 pm

was he the stronger of the three lilli

6:31 pm

my hubby was the youngest aswell jo, but he was the strongest out of all of them

6:31 pm

bye scrab

HUGSSSSSSSSSSS

6:31 pm

bye scrabs, take care

6:31 pm

at the wake..which mom is indian ..it's 3 days and i couldn't cry

I couldn't cry, either, joanne. I didn't cry at all for 3 weeks after my mom died, and rarely afterward. did a lot of it in therapy

Good Evening people !

6:32 pm

at the funeral not a tear...but hubby and kids cried

hey, kristine

KRista how are you my dear how is bump long time

6:32 pm

my hubby couldn't cry either jo and never has over his mam

6:32 pm

hugs to you jo.x

6:32 pm

i did alot after tyg

It has been a long time. I am well , and the little stinker just got done beating me up , i had a stethascope pressing on his body lol

6:33 pm

aww ty lill

during my teens, I felt that my father needed me - he nearly collapsed at my mom's funeral

6:33 pm

its good to cry if you can, helps a great deal to get it out

crying is a natural mechanism for releasing pain and stress, much undervalued

6:33 pm

just i think a break in hyberspace or something

Krista do you know what it is yet?

6:33 pm

he loved her alot like you did with yours, but i think it will all come out when his dad goes

No , not yet , I should have my next sono next month. But my friend Lynn just had hers today and she is having a girl !!

6:34 pm

ohhh jerry springer thing??

Specially when i am watching Nip/tuck

I thought you were typing a grid word in here :P I said I was getting sleepy

6:45 pm

i don't sleep very well tyger....probably because i have to rest in day when i'm dizzy...usually fall asleep then....plus hubby's snoring doesn't help!!LOL

6:45 pm

probably that too!!!

sounds like your hubby needs a breathing machine, lilli :)

they use that for apnea

6:46 pm

clue for the second am5 14

6:46 pm

or a nose plug?? hehe

6:46 pm

like your fingers?? tehehehehe

6:46 pm

6:48 pm

k, jo

think they call the machine a CPAP (yes, correctly spelled)

6:48 pm

ouch lillll ..does he wake up hurt?? hehe

he'd probably have to go to a sleep clinic first to get it

you could search on CPAP and get info

6:49 pm

if i could stay awake before hubby ..i might try something like that too!!

6:49 pm

clues for the last ar 5 and the 6 please?

6:49 pm

6:50 pm

i got a home electro stim thingy and i'm soooo happy

6:50 pm

there are cpaps and bipaps--a sleep clinic can help, lilli

6:50 pm

does it help with pain hursh?

6:50 pm

ohh lilll ...u's falling apart on me!!! not so fast hun

6:50 pm

continuous positive airway pressure = CPAP

yeah, it's kind of an electric massage. they used it on me at the chiropractor - just once - and i wished they would use it again - my dad said he has had it many times and i said i wish i could have one at home and so i looked to see if there were small inexpensive ones and there were!!! i can't wait to tell my dad.

7:59 pm

lilli, fish means a word that is easily found.

7:59 pm

that is NOT a word!

7:59 pm

when thou misseth an easy word, thou hittest oneself with a fish, thereby giving rise to the application of the term "fish" to an easy word.

8:00 pm

It's Monty Pythonesque!

8:00 pm

aknitter..did you get the "at" clue?

8:00 pm

8:10 pm

Hi Feather

8:11 pm

I am watching "when good pets go bad" and it is making me so frustrated. This particular example wasn't even a bad pet...the owner of a pit bull told it to attack a police officer. That is the "owner's" fault...not dogs.

8:11 pm

i suppose i could start the grid. i have nothing better to do. but i don't think i'll get to finish

8:11 pm

most "bad dogs" have bad owners, Uni. Barbara Woodhouse wrote about that in her book "No Bad Dogs"

Go for it Feather. I have 41 only, but I figure who knows....maybe...

8:12 pm

sure you can feather. we'll help with the oddball words

8:12 pm

Exactly...a taught behaviour is a learned behaviour

8:12 pm

do we have lickety's list for this? is he back in business?

8:12 pm

I have a pit - she is a sweetheart - she might lick you to death but that is about it

8:12 pm

Feather, I made my personal best with list today, way over half...if I can do that, you can finish!

8:13 pm

feather, lickety's back up

8:13 pm

**without list. Gosh, I need to hire a typist

8:13 pm

oh feather.... Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer Now's the time to roll the barrel, for the gang's all here

8:13 pm

knitter! *stuffs marshmallows in knitter's mouth*

8:13 pm

my pit bull is 13 and a dear... I am on the board of a national, virtual pit bull rescue organization, saph

8:13 pm

ok, opening expert then

8:14 pm

hmhmmmmm

8:14 pm

my doberman was the same way Uniq. he'd definitely love you to death, or sit on you depending on where you were sitting! lol

8:14 pm

yes - i lost the link you gave me pam

We had a pit puppy where I worked until she was adopted, sweetest thing ever. My Golden on the other hand...

8:14 pm

My neighbours a long time ago had two very very large rottweilers. Nicest dogs I've ever seen. Way bigger than me, but gentle and caring

its all in the socialization.

8:15 pm

yup, neighbor has a rottie, he thinks he's my lap dog! he'll come running over and crawl up on my lap and just love me or crush me!

8:16 pm

www.pbrc.net, saph!

8:16 pm

It's the owner, and it is also an owner's responsibility to learn about the breed...

8:16 pm

amen to that Pam

8:16 pm

thanks pam

8:16 pm

ok, had to open up my media player and pull out some william joseph in ear defense

Hi, stidmama <hands over home baked choc chip cookie)

10:21 pm

after i finish the grid i kind of stop thinking about it i guess

I think thats wise. I occasionally dream that I am trying to solve a grid...usually when I am stressed.

10:22 pm

tee hee

10:22 pm

i do not dream about babble

10:23 pm

Sometimes I see the grid in my sleep, usually a 300+ nightmare...

It's only happened a few times, mostly me spelling words out....no real grid in the dream...

10:23 pm

i only have three kinds of dreams

10:23 pm

{{{{{{{JB}}}}}}} I have missed you? are you well? how's hubby's employment status?

10:23 pm

morning all

I dream like crazy. Lately unfortunaly lots of wierd nightmares.

10:24 pm

Did anyone else try 'rotfl' just to see if it would be accepted?

Hi Saddy!

10:24 pm

Hi Saddy

10:24 pm

hello Saddy! how are you today? JB -- have you met Saddy? she's newish, but really picked up on things fast!

10:24 pm

{{{{{stid!!!}}}}} All's well, just busy for me. DH still looking, hopes for good things soon jobwise!

10:25 pm

*crossing fingers, arms, legs and eyes for hubby to get a job*

10:25 pm

Hi, Saddy, yes, I've seen you in my mornings (I often get on as a way to wake up around 5:45am Eastern time for Philadelphia)

10:26 pm

TYVM, Stid!!!

10:26 pm

Hee, hee, you look funny like that, Stid - don't let your eyes get stuck like that!

10:27 pm

*grin* but JB -- I'm not doing it NOW...

10:27 pm

Um, look again, Stid...

10:27 pm

*makes super-size but decaf MJCL and pushes it toward JB*

10:28 pm

10:28 pm

S L U R P!!! mmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm

10:28 pm

Oh, I'm only at 88 words, and off to bed in minutes

10:28 pm

10:28 pm

10:28 pm

10:29 pm

10:29 pm

10:29 pm

10:29 pm

TY Both!

10:30 pm

10:30 pm

hursh, would homemade rice pudding interest you?

10:30 pm

hello ren..

10:30 pm

Hi Ren

10:31 pm

hey stid and dr

10:31 pm

why demerol?

10:31 pm

no! sorry but ri4 is not a dessert no matter what you do to it!

10:31 pm

banana pudding would be good.

10:31 pm

i have to disagree, hursh. with enough sugar and cinnamon, practically ANYTHING is dessert ;)

10:31 pm

*sends a serving to hurshy with a topping of whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon*

10:31 pm

ok im not even trying to finish this grid

10:32 pm

I have 39 left

10:32 pm

LOL it's a hefty one, Saddy!

10:32 pm

go DR!

10:32 pm

once on iron chef they made FISH ICE CREAM ewwww ewww ewwww

10:32 pm

i had just 20 odd words left when yesterdays grid flipped...

10:32 pm

OOPS! *takes self off to PB for word in chat* *but not before pushing the bowl towards ren!*

10:32 pm

What a waste of ice cream Hurshy

10:33 pm

oh, yuck, I saw that one, hurshy, ick, ick, ick

10:33 pm

push that bowl of ri 4 pudding this way!

10:33 pm

I need the 1st or 2nd re4

10:33 pm

oh saddy -- that was close... yesterday's grid was tough

10:34 pm

first RE 4 is re* room (plural); then to do again is the second RE 4

10:34 pm

the last li5?

10:34 pm

Saddy, is English your second language? (I checked out your flag, but not your profile) - if only I was that good in MY only language!

10:35 pm

I thought I was done up to the t's but now I see I have some d words missing - can I have a clue for do 5/14 - need 2 more (have the greek edibles)

10:35 pm

li5 = li + a bad egg or what garbage does

10:35 pm

ty stid!

10:35 pm

yes JB... English is a second language... but its a compulsory part of our curriculum in pakistan.

10:36 pm

hello all

10:36 pm

thanks

10:36 pm

JBV, you probably need the italian word for "sweet" do + tall letter + last two letters of the ri 4 pudding

10:36 pm

Hi Jilli!

10:36 pm

hey jill! hello harp!

10:36 pm

hey jilli

10:36 pm

plus i've always read a lot and watched a lot of American and british TV... so its like a second native language lol

10:36 pm

Good clues, thanks!

10:37 pm

Hi Harp.. didnt see you

10:37 pm

Jill -- how comes the library fixing?

10:37 pm

thanks, stid - should have known that one, still need one more

10:37 pm

lol, Saddy!

10:37 pm

how are things there? how are the hopes for the (postponed) election?

10:37 pm

try the italian plural of the do 5/14 (change the last vowel)

10:38 pm

stid -- slow but steady -- we're open but only sort of half way -- roof repair has to wait for 3 dry days and you know how rare those are at this time!

10:38 pm

Seconds hurshy's question to Saddy! {{{harpjane! jillibus!}}}}

10:38 pm

oh, boy, brain freeze - I actually speak Italian!

10:38 pm

hmph. maybe you'll be open when I come see you again in the summer...

10:38 pm

thanks, stid

10:39 pm

are u asking me hurshy? aah im not political at all... and i think my country's politics has gone to the dogs... but no one is taking the elections very seriously... cuz we all expect them to be rigged

10:39 pm

I have one word to go -- th6/33 *ducking fish*

10:39 pm

is Italian your second native language, JBV?

10:39 pm

*grin* I don't anymore JBV, but it sure comes in handy, the little I remember! (gelato, spaghetti, do5)

10:39 pm

th 6/33 was mine too Jill -- take the A off the AT 7

10:39 pm

at7 minus the a

10:39 pm

lol

10:39 pm

aah, stid, words after my own heart

10:39 pm

stid -- we HOPE it will be done by the beginning of March

10:40 pm

want to know what my Third native language is JB lol... Piglatin!!!

10:40 pm

YAY JILLLERROOOOO!!!!!!!!!

10:40 pm

JB English is my native language, Italian spoken in my home but I had to study it in school, Spanish is my stronger second language

10:40 pm

well it's handy to know Saddy -- if you teach middle-schoolers!

10:40 pm

so what is it like to live there? i mean, a lot of people have said that sort of thing HERE (well not as much with the rigging, but, cynicism) - but life is fine overall for most people and the gov't doesn't seem that important to them... is that how it is?

10:40 pm

OLOay, Saddy!

10:40 pm

ty stiddy!!! *fish coming sideways*

10:41 pm

are you looking for chum or king tonight Jill?

10:41 pm

hurshy, I'm channeling you tonight, my thoughts as well!

10:41 pm

a dialect that my brothers and i invented... so its probably different from the piglatin you would be familiar with

10:42 pm

*grin* that's the best kind of latin, imho!

10:42 pm

there's one more do 4/5 I need (the one after the greek food) - help, please

10:43 pm

do kids speak pig latin anymore? I used to love that

10:43 pm

JBV: sounds like the things you walk through to get inside and the fin on top of a dolphin?

Ok, officially, I dislike the grid now....I liked it earlier...but something happened.

10:43 pm

um hurshy... like i said im not into politics .. but yeah people generally dont care. The problem in pakistan is that most political leaders are just landowners with a huge following... they are in politics because their Fathers were in it... not because they are interested in the wellbeing of the country...

10:43 pm

hilarious video!

10:44 pm

we thought so too, jill!

10:44 pm

Ah, it's almost midnight here, and DH beckons me to bed, so I must away. Thanks for the MCJL, stid; glad you enjoy Babble, Saddy; Yay jilibus!; grrrr, ren; and {{{{{hugs}}}}} to all!!! *poof*

10:44 pm

i need the last sl5 please

10:44 pm

that did it, thanks stid, now I'm really almost done, tup to w

10:44 pm

stid -- hetty's house is sold!

10:45 pm

so you don't feel like your country could be on the verge of chaos or anything?

10:45 pm

*faint* oh my word! that was FAST! especially this time of year... *sad face*

10:45 pm

sl + null and v***

10:45 pm

sweet dreams, JB! see you again SOON!

10:45 pm

ty ren!

10:46 pm

just heard yesterday -- not from her -- guess she's really busy

10:46 pm

sweet zzzzzzzzz' jb thanks for the ri4 pudding

10:46 pm

a majority of our country (esp the rural area) follows an ancient feudal system.. where landowners own HUGE pieces of land.. and the people who live on the land are blindly loyal... and they basically constitute the votebank...

10:46 pm

I suppose she is, jill... I haven't heard from her since before xmas either

10:46 pm

saddy -- this is very interesting

10:46 pm

hurshy our country is in chaos right now... we crossed the verge long ago

10:47 pm

so how does that affect everyday life?

10:47 pm

why did hetty sell her home?

10:48 pm

{{{{Saddy}}}} I do not understand the long history behind those systems (I also have friends in Georgia); but I know that the difficult elections and government problems are rife. I am wishing for your country a more peaceful life.

10:48 pm

ren, she is moving to Victoria near her daughter.

10:49 pm

well not too much really... everyday life is the microlevel of the situation... the repurcussions are mostly at the macrolevel.... however some changes do happen... like things staple foods and stuff have suddenly become really expensive... and property values have gone down... the stock market isnt doing that well etcetc

10:49 pm

is she taking all of her books with her?

10:51 pm

I don't know, rennie! I think it's a downsize -- to a nice place on what is known as the Gorge waterway, where her hubby can keep his beloved kayak and keep on going

10:51 pm

I can't imagine hetty moving anywhere that she couldn't take her books...

10:51 pm

thanks for taking the time to tell me a little about it saddy, i appreciate first-hand info very much.

10:51 pm

also because of msBhuttos assasination.. a lot of other factions are taking advantage and looting and causing general disruption...

10:51 pm

that sounds nice jilli.

10:51 pm

but things have settled down now... lifes back to normal almost

10:52 pm

ach, looting! What a horrible thing for people to do

10:52 pm

do you feel like it is a temporary situation or likely to worsen?

10:52 pm

YW hurshy... what is it exactly that you do?

10:52 pm

oh that answered that one :)

10:52 pm

saddy, this must be a terrible time for your country - we are all following this news and hoping for the best outcome

10:52 pm

oh, i'm just an administrative assistant at a yacht management company... i am just interested in international affairs.

10:52 pm

glad to hear that saddy -- hope prices go back down for you soon -- I saw that sugar prices were changing (one of the headlines on one of the sites you gave me) -- hope they're going lower.

OK giving up the ghost on this grid. only 148. but tired and its time.

Good night all... Happy babbling.

10:54 pm

sugar rics flour.... everythings expensive... it affects the poor people more ... im thankful i dont have to worry about these things

10:54 pm

niters red

10:54 pm

10:54 pm

oops a typo saved me from PB lol

10:55 pm

10:55 pm

10:56 pm

yeah i don't always think of much to say

10:56 pm

tr + ** cetera

10:56 pm

tr 4 = tr + ** phone home

10:56 pm

10:56 pm

Oh SUPER for the kid, stid!!!

lol

10:58 pm

but you can't vote for barack, lol

10:58 pm

lol

10:58 pm

i wonder if people nicknamed him "rocky" if it would help his chances. it seems stupid to me but i guess a lot of people do like those movies.

10:59 pm

it doesn't really fit him though, he's too classy.

10:59 pm

I think Obama should call himself Barry

10:59 pm

no way!

10:59 pm

my dad's name was barak - in hebrew it means lighting

11:00 pm

but as you say, hursh, he's too classy (except he smokes)

11:00 pm

i think he should call himself bam bam

11:00 pm

i heard hilliary was thinking of changing herself into a black man....

11:00 pm

does he? i had no idea! LOL harp.

11:01 pm

barak -- lighting -- nice, ren

11:01 pm

it takes a village to change Hilary

11:02 pm

barack's wife was complaining about his smoking

11:02 pm

i wonder if the village people could change hilary

11:02 pm

young man!!!!!!!

11:02 pm

i'm sure hillary was a YMCA fan in her day

11:02 pm

I'm not going to bash Hillary

11:02 pm

lol

11:03 pm

Not her fault her parents didn't know how to spell Hilary

11:03 pm

not much they can do. nothing showed on the CT scan. They patched her eye for the weekend, which corrected the double vision. My sister and I are taking dinners in to her this weekend, and she has some great neighbors that will help keep an eye on her as well.

11:27 pm
