Thank you, dc!

Pigeon - because Dr G was being considerate as it was the holiday season, and he knows we have families, i guess.
hi fran -- dc pige and all.
{{pink}}
eh, families should understand....
hey, scarlet how are you this evening?
But also some of us like to run away here to avoid our families
Content, glad that the new election year is starting off reasonably, and happy to be here with good people! What is to not like? :-)

dc, you're giving sly hints and I wish I were awake enough to get them
ohh oops no am6spru
the tamarind comment was based on the chemistry that i'm doing with my food :)
lol jilli! i didn't think the yogurt was a hint.
was that a hint about yogurt? i thought it was a suggestion for dinner...
well, it looked like one...
yes, jes, i was blending leftovers w/rice for a snack :)
what was the last count on w words fran?
true, jilli, though i try to give start letters when i'm that oblique
31 Ws
heh. i had yogurt and tandoori spices (with chicken and other stuff) tonight. such a pretty yellow, and yummy too!
oh crikey. just when i thought i was making progress.
i had mixed veg pakora, palak paneer, and yellow dal for dinner.
i have 26 of them
oooh. i haven't had paneer in a long time.
is the am 7 in connection with another am word?
slowpoke here only has 15 Ws
mmm. chicken tikka masala is my fave. and love sag paneer too.
but did you have sa6's to accompany the cuisine?
I like lamb rogan josh
i do like the tikka masala...but i have to go with butter chicken as favorite ;)
is that a clue, jwr, or refer you to sauces?
am7 help please
sl 4 x5, 5 x2, 6 x2, 7 -- what sl am I missing?

lol jes...
joe -- got an sf location or the name?
maniac>/?
it's on valencia and something jwr.
Clues are up!

thanks lickety!
yay! thanks lickety
di4 & sl5 :D
valencia near 21st jwr.
ty, lickety!
and it's called dosa.
only in San francisco -- a south indian restaurant in the middle of latinoland. around the corner from the Roxie?
btw, lickety, how's the househunt going?
oh goo, good Lickety!
I mean oh good
ty lickety
ty lickety
thanks Lickety
uh huh. where do you live jwr? clearly you have some familiarity with the city.
ty lickety
dc - zip, nana, nothing
here, we have ethiopian, indian, thai, mexican, french, and more on the same block.
bummer, dude. :(
gracias lickety.
lucky you. we have one chinese and one mexican place in the whole town
ty lickety. You give form to the function.
or the random (but good!) fare at the bar
Hi Lickety - TY
where are you jes?
middle of absolutely nowhere ;)
i got 103 words..good night everybody
yep, sounds like it.
g'night, mlf, sleep well :)
gn mlf. sleep well.
night mlfan!
god, i musts have lag too. or dc is just 2 steps ahead of me - as usual. : )
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"
we have aq scandinavian, a swiss, an austrian, a couple of italian, several blends, and one AWFUL Chinese
reaturants, that is.
lol jes.
scandinavian food? like what?
i keep wanting to make ameliorate out of the board...but it just ain't there.
wow. that last sl5 is an odd word
right column grey -- finally!
growing up, my friend's swedish mother used to stew deer with cinnamon, and serve it with pancakey things.
the chef is from finland -- see menu at www.housepiccolo.com/
ooh, that sounds good..
thx jili.
mmm. cinnamon venison is great.
yay! finally found the last S, thanks for the clue jes
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.
ahhh. yeah - i thought it was good, but i didn't have anything to compare it too.
Fran is that the last 5-count word or the last five words to fireworks? Either way, congrats.
wasn't much of a clue, but you're welcome to it, fran!
aw
since when have anacronyms become words?!!!
since enable, nan, can you say 'sysop'.
about the same time enable decided that crias, degus, and tegus weren't real animals
jwr, that was just my last S. :-)
finished
yay maniac!!!
congrats, maniac!
wtg mitch
huzzah, mitch!

Congrats Maniac!

i hope i didn't take the pleasure out of searching...
I never canoed
wd jes, sweet dreams.
wd?
i kayak, but i'm at a loss :)
the thrill was already gone from that search. :-)
well done. on only having 80 left.
oh, thanks :)
it's a really old-fashioned directional word dc
g'night, joes, sleep well.
it's mostly used in relation to boating, dc.
dc, doesn't apply so much to kayaking...
i was guessing not, joes
hey, i'm not leaving yet dc..still chugging along.
I never kayaked either
but I read pirate stories -- got it :)
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

hi nana!
hi banana
evening, banana
hi nana cant stay long...only had about 3 hours sleep last mnight...max of 5.5 if i go now :)
we just got home, don't know how long i'll be in
hi banana -- how was the trip to Salmon Arm?
It was good nan, just left Kelowna at 8pm tonight
snow almost everyday there and no snow here at all while we were gone...lol
yes -- we had much more than usual. Must have been a shock to get back to that -20 weather though!
only -3 when we got in....that was a surprise, I dressed too warmly for a change
parents said they hit heavier snow after they dropped us at the airport, between Kelowna and Vernon
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. :(
-3 celcius
good morning all!
Oooohhhhhhh. I am no longer afraid that you will freeze up and break in half, then. :)
good morning Sprite
very warm for our winter though....lol..I don't mind at all
hi sprite
Well, still, that's quite a bit colder than it is here now.
always makes my head zoom, fahrenheit and celsius. It is NOT easy!
hiya sprite.
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.
hi flosey, jilli, Joe :)
nite nana fran jilli dcs sprite and all the rest
It's 18 F/-8 C here in Minnesota, and that's how it's supposed to be this time of year...
morning, sprite.
night dart, cu tomorrow
night dart
Supposed to be, heh. It's not yet freezing here and we have the heat turned on.
oh dear, is that right now, douglas? If so, it's colder here, which ish just wrong.
hey dc! Surprised to see you... isn't your shift change today?
night dart
b4 i go...where in minnesota are you douglas?
(pleasantly surprised, that is!)
Pleasant dreams, dart...
this is my last night. i start days on monday.
sleep well, dart
St. Paul, Highland Park to be precise
in in lakeville
dart is my celcius converter....lol
anyone have the at 7 ?
..... I didn't even know there was an at 7. Is it just me, or is this grid surprisingly hard?
*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!
yes, nan, fran posted a definition earlier.
it is harder than it looks, samantha
Not far away at all...I haven't been around Babble for a while, for lack of a working computer...
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...
glad to have you back, Douglas
everything at work in in celsius....s o its not too hard to convert nana if you do it alot :)
Hi sprite :)
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.
Moonwoof is in bloomington for a while...and drbernabo is in duluth
np dart, you can do my converting anytime...lol
but they will be a lot more demanding, I suppose, dc?
fran's clue is off the board, seain -- would you repeat it please?
nite sam and hi all!
indeed sprite, those hours are much busier here.
hi MVA!
I am the sort like y'all are your sort...
hello MVA
well im gone now POOF :)
all the flights from the east were delayed tonight dart
bye dart
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
ours was coming from the west so we were one of the only ones on schedule
copied from the View the Entire Chatlog, dc? ;)
indeed so, sprite :)
1st line was mine :D
thought so :D
well, not being a boater, that doesn't help me --- 4 left but too tired, will finish tomorrow -- good night all :)
thanks for looking it up, grin
g'night nan.
i ended up googling it :">
night nan
no good deed ever goes unpunished...
78 left and too sleepy to persist
pleasant dreams, jilli.
must go downstairs to get me some breakfast and my meds, brb. Jilli, sleep tight and have happy dreams, dear lady!
sprite -- chack out nan's icon -- and mine!
I'm halfway to halfway, and I should have gone to sleep awhile ago...good night all...
g'night, douglas
night douglas
wish I could, jilli. Night Douglas.
night Jilli, Douglas
why can't you, sprite?
I cannot get the profiles, they just won't open for me.
sprite, this is nan: http://tinyurl.com/2mauys
owwww great!
and here's jilli: http://tinyurl.com/342r3m
thanks dc, you are the best :D
thanks, dc!
and show sprite yours too, dc!
LOL
she knows mine well enough to have identified it yesterday :)
awwwww also very lovely! Jilli, she is so dutch and pretty!
oh well...
hehehe, dc's is recognisable... even in small!
jilli! You BAD girl!
glad you chose that these, sprite :)
dc you done?
that theme, I mean (can't type)
so not, joes, i've 83 left. i'm very laid back about playing. i'm kinda tired, so i'll likely finish later; kinda picking at the words now
it is great, I am so sorry I cannot see all of it.
Is this inability just today or usually, sprite?
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.
yeah. i'm pretty tired too.
what a bummer!
incredibly frustrating!
40 to go, I'm off to bed
goodnight all
night flosey, sleep well!
nite flosey
well done, flosey -- and now I'm off too -- night all
ok, back in a few, got to get breakfast and meds now.

nite Jilli & Flosey. Hello Sprite!
bye sprite and nite jilli
hi fran and lynxx
hi mva!
Hi MVA !
wandered off to read the news
i'm finding this grid hard work!
yeah, it's not very easy, even the whiz kids took more than an hour to do it.
not quite as bad as yesterdays for me, but then not even halfway
perhaps it's because i'm tired ... went shopping with my 18 yr old daughter yesterdaywho has so much energy!!!
lol, that will definitely tire one out!
all that energy pulling your wallet in & out I bet!
sounds like exhaustion for both mum and wallet!
lynxxx! *hug*
hi sprite!
Hi Sprite!!

i think it's another story sprite, no death in the xmas one. :-)
ahhh. missed the female parts.
I might be totally wrong, though, lynxxx!
tytytyty fran.

ah, no, the story I seem to remember is not on rhyme at all.
ma in her kerchief and I in my cap had just settled in for a long winters nap
thanks, bana, but i have that one.
sorry joe, that's the only one I have so far
how can there be 31 Ws? I mean, sure, lots of vowels and an H, but still.
that's the last th4 and i need the 1st one.
tr5.10 to go to tr*a* before a judge - change the a for another vowel
ty, lynxxx
shoulda remembered that, i shoulda.
th followed by 2 vowels joe?
thanks lynxxx, i thought i put those in already!
that's ok bana...
i have that one too mva.
i found them all sprite, so can you!
not so sure about th4, dc!
joes, th** must be the one you're missing
you got the di that was similar to it earlier, right dc...
no, but i did get the TH that was similar, ty, joes :)
connection error? wth...
god fran, those t's are killing me tonight. thanks. just wasn't seeing them.
aha, it was the th ones that i had already!
keep getting the red box of doom
i just had a hiccup too sprite
keep getting the red box of doom
well, looks like you guys are back with me...
yw joes
ah, it is not just me then. Sorry for you, but I am kinda glad ;)
it's been having hiccups on and off all night
right now there's a big chat lag
no red box here, but I did check to see if it was 2 o'clock hiccup
has anyone contacted drG already about it?
my sodium levels were lower than i thought. the V8 doesn't taste salty at all.
dc, don't want to discourage you, darling, but there is no V in this grid at all.
th 6/33?
joes, drop the beginning of the at7
V8 is a vegetable juice drink sold here, with a tomato base, sprite :D
hehehe, I know, dc, we have it here as well. Sorry for the bad joke.
sprite, dc has been talking about food and confusing everyone all night. :-)
so so dumb and blind. thank god i've still got my hearing.
duh! TY Fran!
what was that joes?
sadly, that's true, fran :D
I love the man, Fran. He is deliciously crazy.
lol, yw lynxxx and joes
lol Fran
going for some breakfast now, bbl, bye all
enjoy, MVA, and see you later :)
at least someone caught my joke, thanks sprite! :-)
later mva!
bye MVA
lol fran. sorry took me a minute.
*grins at Fran* You'd fit right into our crazy family, Fran, really!
you're right sprite, dc is one of a kind for sure. :-)
bye mva.
i'm sure i would sprite. *grin*
and firewords!!!@!!!!!!
owwww I found happiness!
yay joes!!!
congrats, joes! :D
Hooray for Joes !!!!
well done, joe
wtg joe
tytyty. i'd like to thank all the lovely babblers around the world. if it weren't for their support, i wouldn't be here today.
lol
and so modest too...
lol
true to form, i did not find te4/4 until about an hour into the grid!
aww fran, you're just too upbeat for that word.
i did the same, fran :)
like I can never spot hate, Fran :)
joes, the one that goes straight across the grid!
but of course dc!
oh that one.
oh, that one!
snap, Joes
LOL!
good point fran, we seem to share a brain in this game
no, not like that. oh crikey. i can't explain without inflections...
or, be of a mind, rather
k, it's way past my dinnertime and my bedtime... night all.
along with sprite dc, that means we're all working with a third at the most!
g'night, joes!
nite Joes
night joes!
go us! YAY! :D
see you soon.
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.
night Joes
i saw two people finish sprite, unless they were lying!
i have 169 so far, so i'm willing to believe it does. :)
I thought that was a given, Fran... we don't use most of our brain at all, so why not share :)
i can vouch for the numbers sprite.
happy hunting all.
I don't think many babblers lie about finishing. Sigh. Ok, then it is just me being stoopid.
oh yeah! and joes too. :-)
I have 176 so far
i'm at 183 so there are at least th** many
*bows head in humiliation* Off to hunt for the other half then...
I am seeing crosseyed now so will have to come back tomorrow to try to finish up...good night all!
night nana!
night banana4
ephemeral dreams, banana :)
enable won't even give me a good crimi today
ggodnite Banana
put an S in front and drop the last letter sprite
omg... I did not even know th4 word. Thanks Fran, and sorry, fellow babblers...
i know that word because of The Glass Managerie, fran.
it's in the stage directions
and curtain material
i don't know where i know it from, although i think i've read the glass menagerie.
indeed so, lynxxx. i'd forgotten about that.
oh, then it's probably from some decorating show. :-)
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.
sc5 and blue roses are most of what what i recall of the play.
sprite, isn't it cool that as long as you've been babbling there can still be new words?
You must have caught it from me yesterday Sprite - couldn't see words for loking
totally, Fran! I love th4 about this game!
oops
ohoh, so it is contagious! Well THANKS lynxxx :P
good thing i have some pineapple upside-down cake to leave in the sin bin
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."
not anymore you haven't Fran. I had to go to the sinbin just now and it is finished. Lovely.
LOLLLLLLL dc! Oh that is a great quote!
can I console you with some freshmade pancakes?
awesome dc!
that explains all the bad words in enable.
yum, pancakes
hm. so it may explain it, fran.
ah, the wr5 of Khan.
i'm still missing two Ws, they are probably the simplest ones too
I just found the magnicifent animal(s) W4 and 5. How blind can one be.
wh4...ty m'**?
sprite, those might be the ones i'm missing!
oh, have you the double letter spinning?
lol dc, yes, got that one.
they mate for life and howl to the moon, Fran
yes dc, to both
I don't think Sprite meas wa4.8hog either
aaargh! i told you it was the easy ones
those were my last two Ws, thanks sprite
hi lynxxx, wb :)
wtg Fran!
they are funny, wa4hogs, but I would not call them magnificent, no
yay, that helped me get a type of massage also sprite
woot, Ws finished :) Thanks!
and the vomit word - thanks Sprite
yay sprite!!!
that too lynxxx
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.
yes, yes it is, sprite, i agree
did you find all the Fs sprite, those are good ones
not yet, Fran!
i'm still short 3 of those, but i'm not up to F yet
I found the french policemen and some flowery words.
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.
which one is the french policeman?
FL4/8 and 5/18
lol mab! good morning
heh, mab.
wow mab. A little big scary too, I think?
oh, is that what those are.
ah, now i know what they mean. :-)
Hi Mab are they aggressive to humans?
not sure if that is the meaning in english, lol, it is just how I memorise them.
dictionary.com says slang for cops, from French.
ah, finally some new finds. They have E4 but they don't listen... Do5 et decorum est pro patria mori...
hi all. yes, scary sound. We thought it was something much bigger and fiercer.
yay, I got it right then :D
such a sweet word that do5
it is, dc :D *grin*
derat
Fran, got all the Fs now. They ARE nice :)
good one, lynxxx :)
shoot - sorry - are the pancakes in there yet Sprite - lemon & sugar on mine pls
2nd mi4/6 is a nickname of my ex.
pancake with lemon and sugar coming up for lynxxx...
woo hoo sprite!
i don't think i have the do5, how many points is it?
14
do5/14, Fran. Latin for sweet.
14, fran
never fear, the mi5/14 brigade is here! With merriment and joy and song for all!
won't be able to appreciate that comment until I finished the Ms, dc, but will keep it in mind :)
last mi5/14 is to what it refers
sheesh, kept heading in the wrong direction, of course i know that do5/14, thanks sprite and dc
two forms of it? or does the other mean something else?
another third down - time to wash floors - BBL
oh, ty for the reminder, lynxxx!
ugh, later lynxxx!
ah, th4 is the one I meant when I said I had found happiness, dc!
good luck with it, lynxxx!
two forms of what, fran?
the sweet word
yay! finished the Ms
not sure, Fran... does not look like a plural
ah, plural form. ty, fran :)
do5/14 di mare
ah, of course. Then it IS a plural form indeed.
wtg Fran!
Una notte a Napoli Con la luna ed il mare Ho incontrato un angelo Che non poteva più volar
*digs up some latin to make sense of the italian*
if it doesn't appear on a menu, i can't read it, sorry. :-)
One night in Naples, with the moon and the sea, i encountered an angel that could not fly.
a night in napoli, with the moon and the sun
ok, I was close.
how lovely
yes you were :D
i love italian, everything sounds good
so pretty, dc
sea, not sun... that was a typo. I couldn't make sense of the incontrato, but I had the rest down :)
wods
oops....\
not valid, mab, sorry :)
not pretty
get another letter in there mab and you're on to something. :-)
it's a line from a song. here's a performance of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICfue4i DseU
one sec...
also not a word....
http://tinyurl.com/29vnof is a performance of it
they don't always sing in italian do they dc?
oh, I found ra7 :) through rain and wind and weather...
i could have sworn the stuff i downloaded was in english
Ms down too, Fran! I follow in your wake and use your brainwaves, grin.
rowdy yates
sprite, i'm guessing you're not alluding to the US Postman's creed.
morning, BabbleRabble.
hi BabbleRabble, good to see you :)
lol, i'm trying to pick up your brain waves to get the ra7!
hi babrab!
"... 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....'
fran, ra7! is a song
it is a compound, Fran and dc. And dc: no, I am not. ;)
"keep them dogies movin'..."
how
i liked that video dc, thanks!
tsk. Here I am, remembering most of the lyrics, and she thanks dc.
wishbone
Pink Martini is the bomb. i recommend them highly (except for their take on Tea for Two).
blues brothers sang that song in their mission from god movie
was that the same song as in the video sprite?
thanks sprite. can't believe you get that show in the netherlands.
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds
okay, i'm confused now, the ra7 is a song?
sprite quoted it below, fran
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?
ra7 as also a chew toy for dogs
ra7 is a song, and also a series, I believe, or a movie.
okay, but it's different from the video you posted, right?
very muchso, fran :)
jup, not related to the youtube vid from dc.
Il Postino/The Postman, wonderful film :D
duh, okay, finally got it!
it was! I loved it very much.
Fran ... uncooked + and ausie song: so we tanned his **** when he died clyde and that's it hanging on the shed
have you seen The Scent of Green Papaya, sprite? If not, i imagine you'd like it.
lol BabbleRabble
lol, okay babrab. :-)
never seen it, dc. Writing it down now. Thanks :)
it's a vietnamese film, probably titled in nederlands there.
that's where one of my favorite blogs got her name..."the scent of green bananas"
nice, Fran :)
makes sense, she's very well read and ... watched
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.
well well, finally got my second wind. Or first, maybe. Down to 14!
woo hoo sprite!
i still have 39 to go
I even missed the to4 babblet!
i know, i just found it a little while ago
lol, so you are as bad as me today ;)
grid seems much easier when finished ... why is that
yay BabbleRabble, congrats!
brb
brb, going to get coffee
congrats, BabbleRabble
though some days, it was so trying, it still doesn't seem easy.
thanks ... perspective is so biased
yay babrab!!
th 6.24 -- part of bangkok's country and an old movie" a *oo* with a view

ah, thanks BabbleRabble!

re7: act again + past form of to be. re6 = singular.
i hate when i do not look in a direction. get annoyed, franticly and randomly monkey. then find it, realising what i complained about at the start of this frase.
lol Fran!
*grins at dc*
my clue was for the bohemian dance(s)
Dudelas is one of my favorite Hungarian dances. it's a circle dance of mourning and rememberance.
ro 5 --- propel a boat down the stream, merrily, and definite article **e

thought it might be, Fran! It was my last too.

ri 5
lol, good clue babrab!
awwww nice clue, BabbleRabble :)
ei you guys are good i cant relate with the clues
i had 100 words and im a newbie here
well, the last one is definitely an "inside" clue
hi coolits, welcome back! Did you have a good trip home? Don't feel bad about the clues, they can be pretty confusing until you have gotten more used to us ;)
welcome coolits!
welcome, coolits
you'll get the hang of it in time, coolits.
good to see you again, coolits
btw, 100 words is very good for a newbie. Seriously.
tnx babble
tnx sprite
i agree with Sprite wholeheartedly :D
100 on this grid especially is good
ri5: ri + right back ** you + vowel.
do you have the upchuck plural, sprite?
upchuck plural? I don't think so :)
*looks up upchuck*
also a form of massage i think sprite
firewords!
ah, oh yes, I have th4 one, lol. Thanks.

more or less, coolits
they are all in the enable 2K dictionary, some are from other languages
ahh
not really, coolits. They are all words listed in the enable dictionary. But some are spanish, some latin, some just weird, some antique...
what time are we using??
dc had a great quote about that just a little while ago.
we've seen English, lots of Scots, some French, Italian, Hebrew, Yiddish...
US Central Time, coolits
GMT-6 currently
ic
i put the quotein my profile, sprite
Congrats DC!
ty, to all of yall :)
I am glad I copied it from the chat, dc, lol, since I cannot get to the profiles. coolits, if you click on dc's icon, it will give you the quote!
many are obscure; obsolete; arcanal jingoism
ok
brb, have to help hubby with his computer
he's making a list, he's checking it t5...
can't believe I did not see this one before, lol.
jingoism... now th4 would be a great babble word, Rabble :)
that ending comes up a fair amount, including a number of words from a grain
obdurate /OB-duh-rit; -dyuh-/, adjective: 1. Hardened in wrongdoing; stubbornly wicked. Hardened in feelings; hard-hearted. 2. Resistant to persuasion; unyielding. 3. Hard; harsh; rugged; rough.
4 x 4 left now. Hunting the small ones at the end again, as usual, sigh.
good word, dc! Thanks for sharing!
im 4 --- add a freud term im 5 --- add a vowel to the 4 im 5 -- add a different vowel im 5 -- pl the four
I only have Ts left, Rabble, but thanks anyway!
one of my favorite words to describe grid words is abstruce
I only have time left
I like th4 one too. Rabble, I have TW x 3. Is th4 all or are there more, please?
just 3
thank you
ok, fish me. Having extensions of the foot...

Congrats Sprite !
congrats, sprite
you put me on the right track, Rabble, they were all to :)
the vid is fun today!
i've seen precious few of the vids, due to lack of sound here. and they started blocking youtube.
I can send you the link, dc. It is fun, but it needs sound.
hey all
i can hit it when i get home, after i vacuum, clean cat box and rabbit hutch, do the dishes, get the oil changed, and pick up my glasses, which i left at my friend's place on the 1st.
hey Saddy! *hug*

Hello, Saddy

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)
Hello hog
Hodag hello even
hi hodag
hi lady,kat
morning, hodag
hi ya dc
well my pc is having another pissyfit
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.
cause, well, there'se only so much one can learn from Iowa and New Hampshire.
u know...the on ly guy down there that I like....( as a canadian viewing US politics)... is richardson
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
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 )
excellent point that last one, carlee.
edwards I think is too decent a guy
see scared me so much i hiccuped
but with a wife dying of cancer
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.
richardson would be so cool..he excellent in international relations..and knows how to deal with border issues
later gators my nets freaking out
i agree that Edwards comes across as too decent to be electable on a nat'l scale
ciao, lady
in a while dile
well, i must away to do shift turnover and like. peace!
later dc
{poof}
waves goodbye to the departing DC's back and waves hello to everyone else
good way too early morning to you all
Hello! G'Mornin!
morning uni....<lobbing mushed banana fromo my banan pancakes >
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
Ouch...I think he might have to walk if it was up to me! :)
**skilfully avoides mushy banana while throwing icycle booger**
Nothing could get me up at 3 am. Then the dog would want to go out
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
good morning everyone
might fix lunch if I felt like it but that'd be it
hi jean, welcome to the zoo

goodnight lynxxx, sleep well!!
ok...gone to lounge ab out until the household gets up
bye carlee!
Congrats Carlee, and Pink, go to the dentist. Yiou gotta set a good, non-frightened example for little Pink!
Little pink definately has to go so whe has nice teeth when she grows up :-)
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!
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.
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!
Ay! That is why dental rooms should be soundproofed. The waiting is traumatizing, not what they do to you!
I just don't like the pain, noise and smell, however as I've got older I don't like the cost either :-(
do you pay for your treatment katie? i thought it was free?
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
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.
It should be about £180 for the two wisdom teeth to be removed.
oh, wow...shows you how often i go to the dentist lol
hi johnnyr
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
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
Sorry, I killed the chat :(
you? nah, I thought it was me and the cocoa
guess everyone's just eyeball deep in the grid
Mm, cocoa!
chocolate hazelnut to be precise
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
Sorry lost attention again!! I have two meetings this afternoon, must remember not to make any major decisions :-)
I guess you have quite the selection! A connosieur? Man, I can NOT spell that word.
:o)
connoisseur is what I meant
ya got close enough even if it isn't right
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
I am trying for halfway...closest I will have got without a list so far, but I don't see it happening!
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?
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
so what is the deal? how do the letters need to be connected in order for a word to count?
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
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!!
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
could anybody help me out, please?
what help do you need fustuche?
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.
well, i was trying to figure out...oh, thanks uniquity - you answered my question. thanks, metal, too.
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.
Oh, and you can't use the same tile more than once in the same word.
oh ok, i'll get to reading. thanks.
same letter yes, same exact tile no
imids
sorry, wrong box
'salright fust... it happens to all of us at one time or another
aw, this is giving me a headache and anger from very early in the morning! :)
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
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!
excellent...thanks, very helpful
ahh nuts, I realized I can't go to Lickety's yet... no word from the bottom left S
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
Good job metal!
Ooh, greyed a box! Actually, 2! (plus 2 empties)
go Uni, yer on a roll now!
hi, all. plowing through the grid like a hot knife through butter.
Oooh...I think angel is on a roll!
17 words to go.
*sidles up next to Angel and waits for some of the luck to fall on me
**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
**waits anticipatorily for Angel's grand finish**
Good morning just checking my icon update
Oooh...greyed another!
Hey MM
Metal, just got the i words, thank you.
finding an A word also gave me a T word...
Now you're showing off Uni :-)
hi uni
I am sooo close to halfway. This is the best I have ever done without a list, and I am so excited!!!
I'll be popping in and out today. I have lots of office work to do.
Although, the A words are kicking my butt!
Watch out on the popping MM, caitlyn says it's bad on the joints
I have a109 so still need another 8 to get half way
go uni go
I just started. I only have 20 words:-(
105 here! :)
LOL uni
Three A tiles and I have 0 A words. Gah
(((MusicMom))) it's been a while! how are you???
((((angelsong)))I'm great - how are you. I gather you moved while I've been away
we bought a house! a brand new one, at that, and it's out in the country.
That is terrific. I'm so happy for you.
I bought a business. that's why I haven't been around much - working working
how are you feeling?
cool, MM. I've missed you! what kind of business? I feel a lot better here, with less stress in the environment.
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
I'm really busy but I am absolutely LOVING it!
neat!!! good for you!!!
My New Year's Resolution is to try to babble at least two - three times a week. i've been missing everyone
Hey if you all see Grannyg today - it's her birthday
I just had my two year anniversary with Babble at the end of December. Hard to believe. And the resource guide will have been online two years in February.
Oh my god. AHH! I just got OVER halfway...without the list! First time ever! Lala!
s
Uni, WTG!!!
wow! You know I have been playing for almost two years. I was trying to remember when I start exactly. I think it was March 2006.
terrific uni
Jan 25th 2006 mom, its on your profile :-)
LOL thanks Katie. DUH!
I think I better go put clothes in the dryer and make some coffee
I'm going to get a new website off the ground this year.
brb
Oh, what are you planning to make it on Angel?
Firefox browser, Uni. And I am planning another for freeware and open source software.
yayy Uni, half way listless!
will you make money from ads Angel?
not sure, yet, metal. possibly.
I do webpages for fun.
ahhh
look like a lot of little words, how many words bigger than 6 letters do we have today?
6 7's
and 33 6's
oh, wow
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.
that means I am in some serious trouble right now... :)
I know the feeling Tuva

Morning Babblers
Well, good morning/afternoon to all.

Congratulations Angelsong!
bravo angel
woohoo Congrats Angel!
way to go Angel ! - Hi babblers everywhere !
I have two sets of pages in planning. One for Firefox browser; the other for freeware/open source software.
terrific. I bet that keeps you busy
Hello pink and montreal.
belated yayyyy Angel, hi all who've entered while I've been nose into the grid
mornin babblers!
I have a new webguy who has been updating my business site. Previous guy had REALLY screwed it up.
it's a hobby...but I love it. I am self taught.
what is your business mom?
hi Eva !
Good morning, EvaNadine - are you well?
I am a Kindermusik educator. I work with infants through seven year olds in music classes
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 ?
I don't know about five years ago, because I wasn't doing design then. but I enjoy XML a lot.
XML...hummm, will have to look into that... when i have some time...
When shovelling stops, you mean?
I also just updated my blog. I have an entirely new template and some neat bells and whistles.
lol hazel... snowing pretty hard right now !!
I'll have to go look at your blog angel. I have one at wordpress. I need to post something today.
235 and FIREWORKS!
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
ok babblers, now im really here -- good morning again!!
congrats Nono
hoooorayyyyy Nono!
Poor man. You must be very patient with upper arms like Popeye.
hello for real this time Eva
Congratulations Nono!
wd Nono !!
I'm really surprised how many people read mine meta.
Hi there for real Eva !
so, my sis-in-law was scheduled for her C-section at 7:30 this morning... right about now, ive got a niece!
our snow has stopped. It is frigidly cold and sunny right now. Supposed to go up to 40 degrees f today
regular upper arms hazel... but patient for sure...
congrats Evan
Good day to you, good people.
I'm really not supposed to be here...But congratulations Eva! That is so exciting!
going to work yesterday morning, it was minus 21 degrees C with a windchill factor of minus 33 C...
Hello Vicuna and Uniquity. Nice to see you both!
nice auntie Eva !!
Now that's my kind of weather montreal
Congrats, EvaN. Is this your first foray into aunthood?
You're a well practised nephew auntie, aren't you, Eva?
hi Uni and Vicuna !
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
Mighty chilly here, too. Only - 10 C, but that's cold enough for me.
doubly-so, haz! :)
well musicmom, do you get weather anything of the kind in Ohio ?
I thought so. You'll have great fun with your niece as well.
All my brothers almost left un-named!
yes -- my mom, sis-in-law + i are all very excited to have a girl. ;)
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.
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
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!
9 F was pretty cold for here this morning. We sometimes get negative temps but not often.
Manitulin hummm ... will have to look it up ... --- 120 down, 115 to go - time for break - happy babbling all "POOF"
Bye montreal - see you later.
she had a few names in mind, but it doesnt mean she will actually choose any of them...heh
metal, the link for my blog is http:// angelsongslife.blogspot dot com if you want to check it out.
I have to get ready for a doctors appointment........ happy babbling everyone i must get ready for doctors appointment..... happy babbling everyone
Oh, sneaking out jsut as I snuck in. See ya guys!
Bye Uniquity and Nono, all the best.
Okay - off to do some work for a while. Be back later. 140 to go.
Bye musicmom.
Guten MOrgen, babblers. Nono, I loved your video with the game show outtakes.
Guten Morgen, inge. I think Nono has already left for a doctor's appointment.
And your cluers, I need help with my last two words. I think they are realted: ro 4/7 adn ro 5/16 woudl perfect my score.
ro4/7 - Liesl's love interest in the Sound of Music.

fireworks for me
Well done inge - Fireworks?
Congratulations!
congrats inge
Hey all.
yayyy inge
yay inge
hi bfsog
hey hatti hows tricks
Goodness, it's dull here in chat this morning! Haz, couldn't you be getting into some trouble or something?
Inge, can you juggle?
pink, how about some wild animal taming?
metaleather, you're in charge of the flying trapeze.
(oops, and I said a word, too. So that's my contribution.)
im not really here vic..im sort of between watching my daughter and her friend play, washing clothes, and babbling!
Okay... watching children may count as wi4 animal training...
lol
Trouble? Me? Getting into trouble?
I know, I know, it was a crazy thought.
I'm still trying to come to terms with the concept.
It would mean I would have to do something wrong, wouldn't it?
I'll ponder that while I take daughter to hairdresser. Back soon - unless I ram-raid a shop along the way.
what do the 7's start with please
Okay, Haz. See you later - a report back on the mayhem!
i have RA7/52 and SL7/32 (my icon!)
thanks Eva
ra7 clue please
never mind
There's a wi7/48.
thanks Vicuna
Good morning, pabtrek. In the interests of livening up the chat log today, would you be willing to try some sword-swallowing?
hmm, maybe, i do need a tonsilectomy
I like your positive spirit. Always looking at the bright side.
*whistles*
Hurshy! Can I count on you this morning?
count on me for what?
or do you mean like, count using my fingers.
To liven up the chat log!
oh, um, i don't know. i'm at work and can never tell when i may need to disappear
hello
Oh sigh. Where has all the mayhem gone?
does anyone have an icon clue today?
Hello, harp! Can you do any tricks?
i can produce mayhem this evening if you like.
Hmmm... Let me look at my selection of words and see whether any seem inspiring...
Alas, I always try to finish before dinner these days, so your kind mayhem would not benefit me.
I can give you a clue poem:
Here's why Ida Pulled a spider From her glass of apple ci5:
a) to save its life and b) To have her ci5 spider free.
good poem, thanks vic!
Glad to be of service. I don't have any exciting words yet, I'm afraid.
do fl 6/30 vi
You trying to make me read int he face?
or even red in the face?
:)
I would like to say that doric is a word.. it is a type of colum
column.. ha ha
we've complained about that, yea, many and many a day now...
Yes, johnnyr, that word has been a source of frustration many times before. =P
lol vi - put a blank icon up for de6/24
But Corinthian would certainly be a proper noun, so I suppose Doric may be, too.
de6/24, eh? looking...
ahh, very good!
I probably already have an e5 icon floating around somewhere, but that isn't so exciting...
i just spent half an hour looking for a good picture of the guy who sings "you are sixteen going on seventeen"
couldn't find one
lol, harp. Was it that difficult?
couldn't find a good one anyway
The internet is always easy for everything except the one thing I want at any given moment!
i learned some interesting trivia though
Such as?
gosh... i have 149 to go, and I am all out of thoughts. HA
the actor has a son whose middle name is ro4/7
homage to his role
Named after his role, or coincidentally?
harp - google images, dan truhitte, there are a couple of him with liesl...
Oops, you already answered. lol
i did thanks, i didn't they would make good icons, by the time they were squished into a square....
named after his role
clue for the at 7/48 please,thanx
one of them was him kissing her, it was pretty much already a square...
just got it thanx anyway
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!!
maybe someone else will use it
i dunno harp i think i'm highly offended that you won't
WHy don't you use it then, hursh?
You would look so handsome.
cause i like my nephew
Well, but your nephew's not int he grid today, is he.
i only change my icon when i'm highly motivated nowadays.
sure he is
he's meek and mi4
de4?
You at a do5?
that too
could someone clue the at words?
at + paving substance and pl
at5/10 and 6 - oil? of roses
i have never been motivated to change my icon
lazy
at7/48 - against (add the word that means to stop)
clues for TH6/33 please ?
highly related to vi's clue, monty
th6/33 - stop, as in curses, foiled again!
Morning, montreal.
tyty hursh and Vic !!
thanks. better go to work now
morning again Vicuna...just peeking in a minute...
Bye, harpjane.
Yes, I have to get started on lunch prep any second now.
(Yes, lunch at 11:15. Ridiculous schedule. Bllgh.)
the twins have ... afternoon kindergarten?
You got it, hurshy.
fhi s
Back later. If anyone sees Haz, tell her I await a full mayhem report.
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.
good morning all, lol, fingers in wrong position there
I'm back. Somebody wanted mayhem?
MAYHEM!
sure, show up when she has to leave...
And just when i have to go, no fair!
hello everyone? is mayhem on the agenda?
Sorry!
morning Annie and Haz
But do you want to hear how I got another driver into trouble? He got himself into trouble but I witnessed it.
hi flosey!
do tell
Please tell us, Hazel!
here is my phantom word of the day .... chloride
hi everyone!!!
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.
hi armygrl
undertaking how dare he!!
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.
as the kids say - well wicked Haz!!!
wow Haz, sounds like some Toronto drivers
It cheered me up no end, I can tell you.
indeed, sure feels good to see them get caught
Wil we see it on Road Wars soon!!
the blue car man will get his just deserts! Am I using the correct desert?
That would make me feel very, very good. Yay for Haz!
I think so, Annie, coming from what he deserves?
Yes, that makes sense. You are our Chief and you illustrated the correct on the highway as you should!
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.
*correct way
or dont get caught! BUT that is cheating!
Anyway, apologies for interrupting the chat - I must scroll back to see what I've missed.
there is only a moral to the story if you get caught
I'm glad he got caught. Was that immoral of me?
hip hip hooray for sweet revenge! Logged on just in time to read your story, Haz.. yay.. (-:
Hello Aloy - nice to see you!
wow, those th words are odd - but easy
BR???? Who is the man in your icon?
just came back from the airport.. aah, last of the chilluns is gone; now grandma and grandpa can relax some
You can relax with babble, Aloy. You enjoyed your time with them?
oh, yes, Haz.. we had a wonderful holiday! Did your daughter come home from school ?
ah aloy, the bliss of the peace and quiet - wonderful to have them but the commotion can wear thin eh
you know it, flosey.. (-:
or wear heavy perhaps
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.
Once she goes back, I may well be able to distinguish the colour of the carpet in her bedroom.
LOL.. understood!
1 to go - I'm missing an sa 6/21 - can anyone help?
i have the plural of the sa 5/12
the man is a rancher who lost his entire herd of cattle to a mud sl 5.12
The other one puts a vowel on the end of sa5/12
try the pl of the sa5.12
ah, got it, cheers haz :)
Well done ylleria.
oops, must not be that one...
ooh, ty Haz!
Glad it helped, Aloy.
Hi all.
Hi Scrabbler! Did you play tennis today?
hi, Scrabbler!
FYI....rodent + ha4/5 is not a word.
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.
how much snow do you have?
Chiley--how is your grandson's skin condition?
Hello Scrabbler.
I am looking for one of the first am5.14?? I have got the a+rodent any help appreciated!
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.
Much better, thanks. I guess it was just one of those childhood mysteries.
Change the ending vowel
could I have a clue for re6/33 please?
Don Am5.14 had a handle-bar mustache
re 6 --- add princess ****ger; plural
re+ she's a ****ger
re+ she's a ****ger
re6/33 - a colour followed by the last three quarters of the state that voted yesterday.
got that one thanks it is the one before or after I am looking for Aloy.
super clue, Haz! got it
Glad it worked, Aloy and it's pluralled as well.
Ty, Hazel
re 6 is a polish dance, never would have seen that without the clues, thanks all, not using the list
the one before has the rodent in it, so you must need am4.6 with a different vowel, two versions actually
New word for me--I never would have tried that ending
thanks Luc and Haz
ooh, missed the plural.. double thanks!
No problem!
strange word!
what I meant was am4.6 + two different vowel endings
then you can extend the last am5.14 with the "alcohOL" ending..
ra7 please?
My icon is ra7, flosey.
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.
ah, thanks Haz
I thought about putting the Cowboy series up, but even I didn't know the actors - just the name.
You're welcome, flosey.
my Labrador used to LOVE that ra7
thanks for the clue/icon
clint eastword played rowdy yates
The even I refers to my age rather than anything else, you understand.
I knew you'd know, Babble.
I can hear the theme tune but that's about all I remember of it.
Rowdy Yates - I presume he was the strong, silent type?
Oh boy Aloy am I thinkibg slowly today just got your Don clue!! Many thanks
yvw, Deeha.. i wondered if anyone would get that because it goes a waaaay back!
fireworks
thanks for clues
He got into a fair amount of trouble and the trail boss, gil favor, had to get him sorted out
hooray for flosey! Congrats!!!!
last word monkeyed - sl5/12
congrats, flosey
Congratulations flosey!
So do I go way back Aloy!!!!
and is that precious child in your icon a grandchild, Deeha?
235 and fireworks - sorry can't stay - happy babbling all and have a nice day ! --- "POOF"
WTG Luc
heh heh, just found fl6.30, 6/7 of the state i'm now in
congrats to montreal!!!!!
Well done montreal!
Yes it is my one and probably only the smiliest happiest baby you could wish for - but of course I am biased!!
tytyty "taking a bow with a sweeping gesture of my brand new fedora"
medical appt here, see you all later
ah, but that is your job, to be the MOST biased grandmum in the world... of the cutest baby in the world!
bye flosey - "REAL POOF"
bye, flosey...
she loved her first christmas - adored the wrapping paper escpecially if she could get it in her mouth!!
how old is she?
She looks absolutely adorable, Deeha.
hello
A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on. Carl Sandburg
but what does he know?
(j/k)
I often am a DT too, hurshy
DT?
these last 9 are tough, for me
hello, ML..
doubting thomas
am6 please?
hello aloy
ohhh.
hi Aloy, and all who've entered while I've been ensconced in the grid
add a consonant to the am5.14 right before
sorry had my head down! she is 6 months old next week
Would a drunken DT sometimes have the DTs?
howdy, metal..
phone.. brb
he would Haz, but he wouldn't believe he did
6 months is a great age. Old enough for you to know what they want, not old enough for them to move too far.
I expect DT's are susceptible to dts
i only have 2 5/14's and neither of those work
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.
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.
But not in the vicinity of the baby, hopefully.
course not - in the hospital waiting room... no wait... not anymore...
DE/6/24 ashortage of something
I don't think a baby is ever JUST a baby
am 6/24?
i just tried a de5 word and it came up lol
well the others might be but mine.............!!!!
i need that to ruru
am6/24 - begin with french friend, finish with three quarters of a girl's plaything
i dont get it lol
Or, add the first two letters of Mr Hardy to the am4/6.
two exceptions... no, maybe three... sigh
thanks haz OH great one!
haz can you clue the AM4/6?
You're welcome, ruru.
am4/6 - indicating that you are in the centre of things.
Or, am plus two letters to indicate who you are.
or who your baser self is...
ty haz i got the plural too
TY Haz
Or, backwards low lighting/plus a vowel.
Good day, everyone! Clue for at7,48?
Or a plus the sort of wife who would deliver babies (being topical!)
or a + an anti cramping OTC med
or a housecleaning lady anagram
how many clues we can come up with for am4/6!
i have no idea whats going on with the chat and the clues at the moment lol
ow!
haz what is the at 7/48 clue please
a + ***shipman from Annapolis?
that would be brabble's clue, mlf, but plural.
AM5.14 the second or AM5.14 the last please....I cannot monkey either one
am5/14 the second, change the vowel on the end of the rodents.
the last am5.14 is a plural of the first am4.6, subject of many clues, lol
The second series of am5/14 - puts two different vowels on the end of the afore-mentioned and oft clued am4/6
And then plurals it for good measure.

wi7... more feral and plural
wi = more untame, then plural
ra7 Western TV show starring Clint as Rowdy Yates

It's the song which your icon is illustrating.
there is an re 7
re7 - plural of re6/33 - follow a colour with three quarters of the state that voted last night.
that was great haz
but unfortunately, I don't have it yet
ok that's my last 7 then!
And yes, I suppose it's country. So I guess there is one country song I like! lol
Mine, too.
ty Haz
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?
You see - you're not as averse as you were. Ha4/5shirt still itchy, though?
mr pres could you give me his email adress please
And it's a Bohemian dance, too.
Nah, i gave up on the hairshirt. I am wearing my usual ermine robes again.
hurshy, is it worth moving for a once in four year thing?
moot point haz, as the other factors i mentioned are quite significant.
Ermine robes and throne? We bow to your eminence.
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
who cares, i got no friends anyway
phantom: recoil
is mr pres still on
except online i mean :)
Well, at the very least, hurshy, you could point out that your on-line friends don't mind where you live.
Oh... You did.
Glad you added that, hurshy. I was going to huff.
clue for am 7 plz
almost sounds like queen from star wars episode 1...
a movie clue for CHS!

Helen Mirren was in Star Wars?

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

Hi, bbnaz. Happy New Year to you, too!
i am missing the second am 5,14
No, FM, you have not. I tried and tried to work up some mayhem this morning and everyone remained resolutely sedate.
I should know better that if I sit down in the a.m. with a cup of joe I am going nowhere until I finish.
I'll vouch for that. She tried snake handling and everything.
wooohooo wooohooooo wooohoooooooo doi n' the fireworks happy dance! the monkeys finally came through for me with the last two re's

Heavens Vi that won't do at all! Yay congrats to metal

We were very boring, bb. We needed FM to blame something on.
Gratz Metaleather (Its Uni's Bro 135467i
dagnabbit, next time i will pay better attention!
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!
Well, that's true, but we needed something to set us off.
Hmm. Well, hello, mrp, just in case.
got it finally, had to do some work, so had to scroll back to see clue
I didn't recognise you with cut hair MrP :) Hello and how short have you gone?
MRP please excuse the smudged nose, I have been buried in the grid. Did you have a good time camping?
Hi again, mrp.
Back in a bit, got to check on my Travian Village
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'
You've not done a Britney, have you, mrp?
i would watch it... on dvd
i need to start that list
Oh cheers mm, I've got hold of a copy of the book.
my apologies, my internet connection must be screwing up again, cause a few of my messages have not got thru!
Oh, harrumph. Once again I must leave the party, taking my charmed snakes with me, to go fetch my progeny.
of movies, i mean, that come out, that i'm not willing to pay a ton to watch but would like to watch later for less money.
okay, please help me...I am looking for my final two words
Ah it's all MrP's fault not ours then!
Poor Vicuna. You're a slave to those children.
wh5.20 and wh6.33
Hi everyone, Merry afternoon!
What's it worth, bb?
cire

whoops!
DARN - penalty box for me.
hmmmmmmm
LOL haz! not quite, but as i can't get a brush through my hair (arm is still broken), I had it reduced somewhat in thickness

Hi Uni is that you or your bro?
hi uniq :)
bbnaz........ the 6 is the wh4 with an egyptian god
hi uni
at7/48 please

I always envy people who have enough hair to need it to be thinned.
and the 5 lops off the vowel of that god
Thank you, Vicuna, I'll try to be brave.
at7 at + consonant + not a mole but a * * * *

This year looks like being a feast of movies, with the likes of Indy 4, Hellboy 2, Iron Man, Rambo IV, and the Dark Knight being released
i have 2 wr's, are there more?
You're in good company, mrp. I'm there already.
no
no just two wr's
No more wr words, hurshy.
Dear me before too long everyone will be squeezed into the penalty box.
ty
it's like hell FM
*starts sketching out plans for an extension to the PB*
all the interesting people go there
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.
somebody get a gun and shoot me.
include a wetbar fmitch!
LOL
hey the name of my my town is in grid :)
wh4/8 - the sound, wh5/20 - more of the sound, wh6/33 the sound present tense, wh5/20 the sound plural
HUZZAH for pink and anybody else who may have finished whilst i struggle
hursh can u help me out? i have the wri word whats the other?
bbnaz, double the last letter of the wh4/9
I wanna join the penalty box!! **whines**
bbnaz add the same last letter to wh4/9, and then make it plural for the 6
When I say more of the sound(wh5/20 - double the consonant on the end)
I thought of you, Praise,a s I typed it in !
ha! there is no wri word!
That's strange. There is no wri word....
LOL uni
sorry wro word!
Finally and officially...are we porange or red people? I have been thinking this over for three days now!
Who's using 3rd letters???
porange?
My gosh I can't type. I meant code orange or code red. Maybe I am a code myself...code purple.
Beg your pardon, Uniquity?
Uniquity, you're not thinking about orange in connection with an individual babbler, are you?
Hi folks

Hi, Becca

Yay for bbnaz!!!!
Congrats bbnaz and Hi Becca
yayyy bbnaz!
Congratulations bb!
Yep - only one of 'em (so that quashes all the triplet rumours for good!).
LOL Becca
Congrats bb
I don't know. These radiographers don't know everything. I've heard they can hide (triplets).
just think though Becca, if you have multiples, you only have to do it once!
I bet they all hid one behind the other just to fool you Becca.
If they moved in a line Becca...
Well, they were hiding pretty well if there were three in there!
sorry hursh its a past tense word, people sometimes like to rewrite books that someone already wro***.
hello everyone...karys has finished.....AND she did the bathrooms.. AND she vacuumed a bit... AND she did some ironing..... AND...AND........!!

All well Karys - had scan today. No problems noted, baby hiccupped a few times - very cute.
Oh well. I suppose we'll just have to accept that it's just one baby. But you'll need help choosing names.
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(
No wonder that cat is smiling for Karys!
Oh, congrats Karys!
Becca do you know whether it is a boy or a girl?
Pick a really outlandish name...someting to be proud of
baby? baby? what have i missed?
Outlandish - what can we come up with?
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)
LOL Becca
That won't stop us Becca
Just Haz?
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****.
:)
I think I would rather be surprised too
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
that is the way that I was when I was pregnant with daughter
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!
Larry, Curly and Moe?
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?
I love boys really...but would love to have a girl
Thanks, but... no, metal!!
how did i miss that!!!!!!!
Karys lurvves boys Karys lurvves boys. Oh you didn't mean like that, I, er, sigh.
Any family history to be taken into consideration, Becca? Roots in another country or anything?
lots of Alfie's and Jack's around at the moment, locally
LOL FMitch!!
Mitch...that would be toy boys then ?
does anyone have the first am?
Not Alfie - I work with the elderly - I want a younger name for this bubba.
becca, congratulation on your news :-)
bichon..a + small rodent
No Haz - we're free to pick anything, no roots or anything
a+ a certain rodent
Thanks Katie
a + small rodent, bichon
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
ty Jellen
and the 3 girls that were born were all called Grace
The dog next door is called Finnbar. Some Irish saint
Ooh, that's weird mrp!
I love tha name Grace
I like Daisy
Fionbhar
Pronounced, Fin-var
Daisy is lovely :-)
I never asked how they spelled it, interesting
but not for a boy
I like Caitlyn (pinched from our Caitlyn in babble of course!)
I think I liie that too becca
*like
bh in Irish Gaelic is usually a 'v' sound.
we have 2 gret nieces named Londyn and Lola
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
hi katie!!!!!!!!!!!
My half sister is called Josephine
hi army :-)
I know bichon...I like Elsie too...and that IS old fashioned
If I'd had a girl, she'd be Ellen Kathryn.
There are lots of Siobhans in the US.
how far are you in the grid K.W.
That's a nice name Jellen
Irish names are "in"
I chose Jessica for my second youngest had he been a girl
Don't think my Scottish dad would allow an Irish name!!
I've got 141 so far and have just gone to the list
I changed my name from a very common 50's names to an Israeli one
Hi everyone!! :)
best not becca !
hi carra
hi carra :)
Hi carra
hi carra
Welsh names might be OK though - they live in Cardiff now
from Beryl to ...?
Hi, carra
sort of halfway then becca
Hi Armygrl, Mrp, Becca, Karys & Jellen! :)
cheryl !
LOL Karys, yes I suppose so!
Halfway between Scotland and Wales - you're looking at an English name.
LOL !! Cheryl is a very bogan name here
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!
there you are then...Daisy !
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.
Fred or Frederika covers the bases.
Fred for a boy, Winifred for a girl? (devoutly hoping not)
like the Rhanon doroth
Got it from Willow....it's the male of Rhiannon.
not, Haz, def not!
You could probably have a whole family of ideal sounding children. Frank, Ernest, Honor, Charity, Patience, Constance.
xfactor!!!!!!!!
Very Enid Blyton Haz :)
have a nephew called Freddie....can't get to grips with that somehow
You'd be kicking yourself when they reach teenage years and can only snarl at you.
Hope, never forget cope. And chastity
and Charity
oh no...you did that one !
Never forget Cope? Is that the organised one in the family?
that used to be me then !
I was surprised to find out that Beyonce is an aboriginal name
Absolutely
gooood morning all!
Hope was the last thing to be released from Pandora's box. Fitting. The worst for last.
Never would have guessed that mrp
Hi, ardilla
You surprise me, mrpresident, I didn't know that.
Hi ardilla
good morning ardilla
Good morning ardilla.
Hello ardilla
hi ardilla :)
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!
LOL.,..LOL...
I remember you talking about him, Karys. We always think of lift manufacturers with that name.
Probably the escalator - Otis
Or lift manufacturers?
LOL doroth!
me too !
lol fmitch
did she give birth in the hospital lift?
or the AARvark
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!
no MrP...and we have been prewarned as to the next one, should it happen !
hey * lobbing spit ball at uni*
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.
hi all! back for final 49--friends new grandbaby is named oscar,, all we can thin of is the grouch
Hi carlee, hi beth
Real machooor Carlee ;)
it really need to be paired with the surname too
LOL beth!
My advice - don't choose a name that you have to spell out every time.
hi carle :)
there is a story going around here about a woman that named her twins orangejello and lemonjello
i think of oscar and felix.... congrats...
Horatio Landseer Ignatious Smith?
hi beth :)
felix lorum...:)
Hi, carlee and beth
who's machoor?
Somebody take FMitch's temperature.
hey jellen
Good job that's not my surname uni!
*** looking around room for some maturity ***
lol haz I agree with that!
Now Landseer, I like!!
nope....it is a machoor free room....thank god

Alright, youngest brother qants his turn on computer. Be back later everyone!
Ha!!

Bye, Uni

Aren't you glad you came on, Becca?

back in a mo'
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!
oreillia?
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.
opele?
Love it here Haz - wouldn't miss this for anything :o)
what about the hair mrp?
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
We are Becca, got the coach booked and everything!
Webcam? We'd be good, honestly.
what did that make your head mr. p?
hehehe just kidding.....
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*
When are you due, Becca. Need to make travel arrangements now. :-)
horses ass right here!
lol, beth, and ouch!
my son offered me his hat
bye for now--housework calls
time for a cuppa :) see you all in abit
Haz, no webcam wother. Don't want all the world to see anything remotely like a private bit!
Bye, praise
bye praise
Bye praise, bye mrp
do you like it? i've been growing mine for the wedding but am getting it cut tomorrow
Bye, mrp

Hi, lizmac! Ditto about weird names.

i love to hear new expressions from around the world
In 20 yrs of pediatric practice (and 3 yrs of peds residency) I have seen far too many bizarre names and name spellings given to kids.
Uh, I am getting nowhere with this grid :o(
Got any great names to avoid Scrabbler?
hey scrabs...

A boy named Kokane Mothershed played football at our local college. Not sure about first name spelling, but you get the idea.
I was once was speaking to a teenage mother about her premie newborn's condition in the NICU. I ran down the whole list of problems and potential outcomes, then asked, "Do you have any questions?" She said, "Yes, I want to name her 'Starkeisha' and can you tell me how that is supposed to be spelled?"
Oh dear, oh dear
oy vey
Just call 'em Clap & Pox and be done with it..everybody can spell those!!

hey has anyone heard who won the world juniros..i forgot to watch
juniors * even?
In hockey?
EEk..can and USA playing NOW
Well, I don't know anyway.
in Italy just recently, parents went to court to try and get their son names Friday... they were refused and the courts named him a 'sensible' name instead
Hi MRP
Friday isn't too bad - better than gonnyrea anyway
hi scrab!! :)
Hello Mr President
*named Friday*
There is a 4 yr old boy in our peds practice and the parents just changed his name spelling from Jack to Jak.
i'd rather change to jax then jak
Why? Why bother?
it is simply illegal in some countries to name your baby something that might ridicule them
I feel as though I entered many of the same words yesterday.
Fair enough mrp - that's a good law
hi darth! :)
hi mrp....missed u there....just turned on hockey
Now the boy will spend his life saying, "My name is Jack, but it is spelled J-A-K."
oh cool..team ontario is playing USA in under 17 world juniors too
coolgirl... lickety is not getting out of bed yet! how you going carlee? I might turn on the tv too... been up since 4.30am. stupid birds

And I am Lynda , not Linda.

oooh..is 2-0 canada...after 2 periods..WOOT WOOT
I have not slept well this week--the office has been very stressful and I had a bad on-call night on Tuesday.

( katie was taking something for the pain and lying down with the tv I believe
you poor darling girl carlee! I do hope he is slowly recovering
a clue please for am 5,14
oh hes recovering fine and driving me stark raving nuts with his.....well..him
he is walking on own without crutches... its NOT pretty but he's walking
one is a protein and the other is same but diff vowel on end
a clue please for the 2nd am 5,14
one ends with vermine... and the other ends with another diff vowel
Yippee for Kevin!
clue for the th6,33 please
I'm so glad your husband is recovering, carlee, and sorry that he's driving you nuts.
Don't answer if you don't want to carlee, but what happened to your husband?
th + wa4
oh wow! what a fabulous recovery!
oh...he had a compression fracture of t-12 back in september
th6/33 - incorporate a skin lesion to put an obstacle in someone's plans.
and a 50% "ish" sever of the spinal column
ah, they drive you nuts at any time when feeling useless... he will get his groove back and be wonderful again very soon
Sounds like he's making a great recovery then.
And there is Hazel with a clever clue.
Hello Scrabbler - was talking to husband there so dropped out of conversation here for a while.
good clue haz :)
Do you write crossowrds for a hobby Haz?
I need help with the ar5 and 6 combo, please.
No, Becca, I'm just naturally twisted!
I love cryptic clues!
LOL Haz!
a the posterior of a pertior's pressure problem
ar5 - drop a vowel in the middle of the dry ar4/5
oops of a posterior *
And then plural it for ar6/21
TY--A's are done.
You're welcome!
I'm being dense about the ar 5 & 6. Remedial clue, please?
a+ slang for muscle builder drugs
carlee, i had fracture of t8 6 years ago. i had a vertebroplasty the following year it was a tremendous help in managing the pain
Got them! Thanks, carlee!
welcome jellen... he's not in any pain bethn...he's relearning how to walk..he lost SO much muscle mass in hospital...physio cannot figure out how he is even able to walk with walker let alone with crutches or on own
do 5/14 please?
oooh USa got caught for too many men on icef or 2nd time... that just stoopid
Which one, Becca?
all of them!
do 5,15 is what greeks call stuffed grape leaves
do5/14 - the sweet accompaniment to Italian vita.
not sure my greek is that good carlee
i dont know who to feel sorrier for carlee, men are terrible patients - it is very hard to keep a smile on your face when you just want to put a pillow over theirs'
do5/14 - change the vowel at the end of the previous do5/14
do sounds like fred flintstone's wife's name
do5/14 - start as before with first three letters but change the last two to sound like pa's counterpart.
clue for the tr6/21 please
thank you :o)
Thanks for the do's, carlee and Haz
tr6/21 - a type of three part poem?
Ty for those DO words
3 part vaccuum tube
thank you :)
oh man, it is pouring!! brb
You're welcome.

I am not even halfway after being here early this Am and for the last hour.
Begin with im4/6 - i plus a centre type word (mirrors the structure of am4/6
This can be pluralled for one im5/14. The other im5/14 are made by putting two different vowels on the end of im4/6
TY, Hazel! That i is now grey.
Well done, Scrabbler!
I am suddenly "seeing" lots of words. It must be my peppermint tea.

hip joint. i wanted to inject and get it oever with, but dr recommended physical therapy. i will call blue cross on monday and tell them what is going on. they should go after the superm,arket.
Yep===go with conservative medical therapy first.

tr5 prefix for three + the opposite of young is **d

hi doxy
ok scrabs, help me out a bursa is a sac around the joint, it can become inflamed (mine did from trauma). hurts like hell, have been limping. scrabs, the shots work. i'd prefer to go with that. at least it worked last time as a last resort
hubby has that in both hips, has had maximum injections but still has trouble walking, we moved to a bungalow 'cos he struggles with stairs

thx, lilli, same to you & yours
I am chilled to the core after cross-country skiing---I need a hot shower. BBL
i've been to france tyger, hope you are well and had a nice christmas
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.
bye scrabs, where do you get the energy?!?
later scrabbler, see you soon!
i meant the skiing!
Such as a spur, or other inpingment type of syndrome
ok here i am 42 and lately i have been having probs with crossing my legs for periods ..when i get up where my torso and leg meet dang it bothers me..limping???
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
also the first name of a current star, ma** Damon
The skiing WAS glorious---a sunny day, in the woods, then lunch in the lodge by a fire.
thx, lilli. and how did you find France? :)
That can do it, rest, antiinflammatories, etc
later, scrabs

3rd am5/14: change last vowel from 2nd one to round vowel
hey, army
Guten Abend, babblers. Has stidmama passed through rrecently? Have any babblers on the West Coast lost power?
am6 & 7 build off that one I just clued, krista :)
hey, inge
stid was here about an hour ago. she didn't say anything about outages
grrrrrretings Tyger
:)
Guten Tag, Inge.
Good to know, she seems to be ok
Scrabblre, is your snow boarding improving?
tyger, I can't get that clue to work..the round vowel is not near the c in the second 5/14...am I being super dense here? (feel free to answer honestly). :)
Pounce Inge and Scrable
yes it is me herin
I need help with sa5-6-5
Kristaaaaaaa.
I mean sa5-6-6
luckily i am back 2 normal
oh, you meant the FIRST am 5/14..got it now
Army what the heck happened the otherday
its me periwinkle playing as marigold, I am tired from travelling all day. can't see ci5 and ci6
round vowel at end
ive got 64 words how many do u have herin
2nd & 3rd am5 are same first 4 letters
I was cross-country skiing today.
sa 6 : sa + fishing stick
i thought you were saying change the vowel at the end of the second am 5/14
lots
Scrabler how is the bunnies?
Ty for those SA words.
peri, ci5 & 6 are apple juice with bits of apple in
got it..having lots of brain farts lately
Scrab, then add second vowel to one and plural the other
hi Inge!
How are you, Herin?
The bunnies are all adorable.
thanks tyger, I had some mulled ci5 yesterday and it was delicious
I did, krista, but I counted wrong. 3rd & 4th are the ones I've been talking about - SORRY!
Stinking hot but all the house work is done so i am happy
Hi Krista, you are not on the west coast , re you?
yw, peri
50 to go---this is a marathon!
i have 64 words how many do u hav herin?
Hi Periwinkle!
do you need me to clue 3rd one in detail?
Scrabs, have not played Noggin the past few days
Scrabbler i am exhausted at all the sport you do.
Army 143
No, Inge, East Coast girl, here
clue please for re6/33 please?
I had a hard time getting going this morning. Then I started in reverese and moved more qeuikcly
it's ok, Tyger! thanks for the help
re6/33 is a dance; clue coming up
LOL, inge
I did earlier today, Peri, for the first time in a few days. Once I consistently placed in the top 10 for Noggin and Scramble, I became less addicted.
re6/33: re + not up, but ***n + 1st vowel (re7 is plural)
good for you, Herin. I still need to put all Christmas stuff away, but Patrick needs to get the bins out of storage before I can do so (so it's his fault, you see)
oh dear i think the cat just broke something
thanks!
yw, flask
Scramble changed its format--I was playing today.
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 :)
One of my daughter's coworkers in Las Vegas was taken to hail for grand larseny this morning. Ouch
*jao, I meant to say
owww
*JAIL
not a friend, I trust, inge?
am6/24 pls if anyone has it
yikes, Inge..stealing from work, or something else?
any clues for the ra7?
am6/24: am + upright vowel + one ***lar bill
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
OK, I already got paged and my on-call adventure began 30 min ago.
ra7: compound word ra* (not cooked) + **** & seek (game)
taking money, they dont know whether 500 or more
ry
i mean, ty
My nephew works in Las Vegas.....
not a woman, herin, a man
yw, aryn
See you Scrab
Do u have to go, Scrabbler, or just a phone consult?
Later Scrabble
later, scrabs
Oh sorry then let me guess HE had gambling problem?
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
did you tell him to gt a new one, or to cut if off?
The nose or the runny parts?
Snap, Inge
sounds like a very green parent
LOL
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.
All I know is taht he is gay and was well liked in the store
F I R E W O R K S for FLASK
yay, flask
ty
Yahoooo for Flask!

sometimes people get involved in unwise liaisons - gay or straight, it can happen, and a place like Vegas is where users congregate
LILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII pounce
hell no flask
thanks....am done just in time for carers!
lol
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.
isn't it great to have lilli back, herin?
knocked over by herin
hi joanne and lilli - it has been a while
are you two NEARLY finished?????
flask i did say hi before..u mussa been engrossed
Yes, I missed you Lil!
oh, crap. not really, scrabs? (gasp of disbelief, but stupidity is endemic these days)
hi herin, how u doing, hope you had a great xmas and new year.....happy new year by the way
Inge we had a guy that was a born again Christian and an Amway rep, He stole over $3000 from the safe
Lili i did Happy new years my dear

maybe the rebirth didn't take all the way, herin (sigh)
Yes, tyger! Common sense and civility have died.
ahhh, you are all so lovely and i've missed you all to....big hugs to all
later, flask
Lili were did you go?
"claimed" to be a born again Christian
Oh, you were away, Lilli?
good point, nano

This guy's crime is not yet known. Supposedly it is burglary as well
Fierworks! Thanks for the help!
OTOH, sometimes people yield to temptation
yay, SMC
Christians are still human

Inge I used to work in the courts and the amount of people done with theft for gambling problems was high
Oh I know....lol......

You can do it, Krista! Unless you want goodies from the penalty box.
ohh to be 30 again>>>>hummmm
hello and good evening... or good day...
re5/6: lubricates again
Scrabs, besides a big HI, how is Mary?
hi pam
hey, pam
hi pam
hi everyone
hi, lil, tyger, and ll
Ty for those RE clues!
*all
Thanks Krista
hi, joanne and crp
hi crp
yw, scrabs
i was pregnant when i was 30 so couldn't even have a drink .....or a bag of nuts!!
this grid is much easier than yesterdays
Good point, Scrabbler. There's no chocolate here in Lickety Add...
Egypt sigh
hi crp
Lil no kids for me
Hi Pam. I have not heard anything new on Mary and have not visited since Monday night. I will see her Sunday afternoon. She was starting 2 chemo drugs yesterday.
Hi Ms. Pam
hey, CRP
I thought yesterday was easy, and today a bear :P
Hi crpw
Li 5/10 anyone?
I will continue holding her in my thoughts... angela, here, too...
Hi there, krista...
There were 16 posts in the chat for 6:12!1 I cant read taht fast!!!
li 5/10 anyone?
I had to go to lists with 54 left :(
LOL, inge
Yes, gapeache's granddaughter Angela too.
maybe tyger, i am more clear headed today, maybe that is my reasoning
and reverse for me, CRP :P
36 to go and the hockey game starts in 15 minutes.
limir
i think italian money plural
but I've felt foggy since midnight, I guess
it's odd, scrabs, but as i get these cyclical (hormonal) headaches, i think of them and realize how lucky I am...
but you have your boy and cat herin
you better get on it scrabbaler
Put your nose to the gridstone, Scrabs
Scrabbler i will keep your friend in my thoughts
li5/10: li + not lower, but **ise + snake
hi, herin
gooooo scrabbsss
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?
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
I believe our concern sends rays of healing vibes...
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.
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?
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
Xmas vacation was tough for the kids--no structure of school and activities AND no mom at home.
later, krista
poor little tykes.
hello all
ahh, that is so sad scrabs, we are all sending healing vibes to mary and love to her and her family
hey, praise!
bye krista and take care
hi p2h
I spoke with a wonderful child psychologist one week ago and the father talked to her too. Appts are upcoming.
Hi p2h
GREAT, scrabs!
Hi, p2
EXCELLENT. so glad to hear it. I didn't get therapy until I was in my 40s - a great waste
When did your mom die, tyger?
Were you very young when you had a loss, tyger?
Have you read "Motherless Daughters"?
my mother died about 2 weeks after my 13th birthday
no, I haven't. never heard of it
did your mam get through it tyger
anyone have a clue for the th6/33?
sorry to hear that tyger
oh, tyger, what a hard, hard age to lose your mom. (((((hugs)))))
th6/33 only 2 vowels in whole word - clue upcoming
th + wa4 = (to deter or defend)
ty scrabbler
th6/33: th + not a mole, but a **** (useta say caused by toads)
thanks, scrabs and tyger!
thx, pam. yup, it was rough
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
big hugs tyger
Author = Hope Edelman. Title = "Motherless Daughters". There is a followup book = Letters from Motherless Daughters
Most widowers struggle.
{{{{{{{{{{healing vibes}}}}}}}}} to all!!!!
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
i'm glad to hear it tyger
just saw, thx, lilli - thx for all the hugs, etc
I have had the same shrink for 17+ yrs and wouldn't be here if not for him.
phantom= criminal
that is a good ending tyger,
Some criminals are phantoms.
yw, tyger, anytime, i'm good at hugs
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
Great, great, Tyger!!!
you are lucky you found a good therapist
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
ouch tyg feel soo for you
yes, I was very, very fortunate
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
you have a great attitude, god bless you
Yep, I agree too.
lost mom at 36 and ..she knew and me being baby wouldn;t tell me
so hard, joanne...
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
has anyone heard of a show (stupid) jerry springer??
oh yeah
that's unfortunate, joanne. you could have been at least somewhat prepared
Same for me, tyger---God has carried me through so much.
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?
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
yes tyg ..i was but she just wouldn't tell me
that's what i think i needed to hear
why did your MIL put the burden on your hubby, lilli??
i couldn't cry
20 left--I will return after the first period of the hockey game.
later, scrabs
was he the stronger of the three lilli
my hubby was the youngest aswell jo, but he was the strongest out of all of them
bye scrab
HUGSSSSSSSSSSS
bye scrabs, take care
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 !
at the funeral not a tear...but hubby and kids cried
hey, kristine
KRista how are you my dear how is bump long time
my hubby couldn't cry either jo and never has over his mam
hugs to you jo.x
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
aww ty lill
during my teens, I felt that my father needed me - he nearly collapsed at my mom's funeral
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
just i think a break in hyberspace or something
Krista do you know what it is yet?
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 !!
i did alot of it in a hot shower lol??
squeee
The pic was very clear of all the "GIRL PARTS" lol
that was my escape
good hiding place, joanne
hi kris, happy new year
Happy New Year lil

wordscape
Joanne we are here for you if you need
the bairn is at her grandad's tomorrow til sunday lunch, so i can babble all day but it will probably be a small grid
oh my ty herin but i need 40 and change
what herin said, joanne
sorry jo, just realized what you were saying, yes we will, but i've never done it before
and i can't do the number thing
ohh lill it's cool
i can get addicted to it
ohh wait think i am
but I'm getting sleepy now
eyes aren't as sore as earlier (don't understand that), but wow, they want to close!
ty vm tyg u r always there too ty for that
what is wordscape jo??
yw, joanne
www.iwin.com
I've always had people who helped me. how can I not try to help others, any way I can?
so do mine tyger.....they've been like that for the last fortnight!
awww so sweet
whether it's clues, or anything else
you got very little sleep in France, lilli? :)
tyg i think we have something in common
too busy visiting, etc?
i wrote it down earlier jo, but what is it?
loss
I am now lost dang telly
not there, joanne :)
oh, now I got it. you're right; we've got that in common
where??
herin, there's a limit to multitasking :D
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
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
probably that too!!!
sounds like your hubby needs a breathing machine, lilli :)
they use that for apnea
clue for the second am5 14
or a nose plug?? hehe
like your fingers?? tehehehehe
he needs his head chopped off...hee hee
2nd am5/14: change last vowel to upright one
nah, not that extreme
but if you really want sleep scooooooottteerrr
Lili poke him
lol jo
got it
hehehe
just a thought
my son has one of those. It works for him
lill gonna send u something but just wait k???
his snoring is getting worse, he's worn those nose plug things, and i kick him very hard and he still snores
k, jo
think they call the machine a CPAP (yes, correctly spelled)
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
if i could stay awake before hubby ..i might try something like that too!!
clues for the last ar 5 and the 6 please?
speaking of medically helpful machines...
where would i get one of those tyger....i'm deaf in 1 ear and losing it in the other and wear hearing aidds but when i don't have them in i can still hear him so he's got to be loud
i got a home electro stim thingy and i'm soooo happy
there are cpaps and bipaps--a sleep clinic can help, lilli

Hi Lili
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.

Hi gang!

i'm just being silly
*gives Hursh a gentle hug, with a kind there there.*
is this grid hard or is it me - I've been stuck with 75 for a while - going to the list - hope it helps
it's a bear of a grid for sure!
Is the tw5 a fish?
it's one of those tormenting ones saph, i have 37 and going round and round in circles at the mo!!
no uni
yes it is a fish!
Hmmm...That's comforting!
at 7 please
oh. no? yes? maybe?
fish fish fish
very much fish
indubitably fish
i'd give it a fish
Yes, it is. Stupid word. Thanks!
no question about it
a + to "foil" an evil plan
is it???, i thought it was a number
lilli doesn't know about fish?!?!
i need a fish then!!
i hate fish
lilli, fish means a word that is easily found.
that is NOT a word!
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.
It's Monty Pythonesque!
aknitter..did you get the "at" clue?
two words to go, clue please for re6-33-- just cant get it
ak, you don't use at7 regularly?
i know that normally, but i'm getting over trip and tired and am going to bed
its probably the easiest word on the grid
hmm i think this grid is made of some other planet vocab
well dawg not for at least a week now.
re4.5 above + first part of what H2o is
re6/33 not remotely fish
what the heck
i can't even find 4 letter words - that's scary
thank you hurshy, fireworks
re6.33 is a Bohemian dance in two forms, one resembling the waltz or the mazurka, the other resembling the polka.
whoooo hoooo CRP!
wtg crp!

she thanks me? i didn't even clue! lol
congrats

Good Evening from Amarillo TX....How is everyone???

roll out the barrel .... we'lll have a barrel of fun.... sing with me now..
Oh good grief. I have 21. Will not finish!!!

I just started so I am still on real words, Have not looked at lickety's....still chilling after that drive. I am starting to hate my car.

Good Night crp...sleep well

NP feather. shall i hum a few more bars?
no!
lol
that's good cuz i'd have to google the reest
rest
night CRP, sleep well
Hi Feather
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.
i suppose i could start the grid. i have nothing better to do. but i don't think i'll get to finish
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...
sure you can feather. we'll help with the oddball words
Exactly...a taught behaviour is a learned behaviour
do we have lickety's list for this? is he back in business?
I have a pit - she is a sweetheart - she might lick you to death but that is about it
Feather, I made my personal best with list today, way over half...if I can do that, you can finish!
feather, lickety's back up
**without list. Gosh, I need to hire a typist
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
knitter! *stuffs marshmallows in knitter's mouth*
my pit bull is 13 and a dear... I am on the board of a national, virtual pit bull rescue organization, saph
ok, opening expert then
hmhmmmmm
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
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...
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.
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!
www.pbrc.net, saph!
It's the owner, and it is also an owner's responsibility to learn about the breed...
amen to that Pam
thanks pam
ok, had to open up my media player and pull out some william joseph in ear defense
yw, saph
lol, feather
feather youare missing the polka contest
send my regrets knitter!
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
i'm now rocking out to one hot piano player
hi, min!!!!!!!!!
hi minver
Fantastic Min, and yourself?

Hi Min! welcome to the grid! the icon is cute!

Thank you, I was being dim again

except AK uses it at least once a week.
athinder doesn't work! lol, i'm not far enough into the grid yet to see it. don't worry, i'll get there.

uni, is the currency the last li or is there one before it
got it, carolvm, thanks
the last li is a 5 - li + if something decays, it ***s
yw
am 7, anyone?
one of li4.4 is an anagram of not telling the truth
am 7 is plural of am 6 do you have that?
nice 1
nope
OK am 6 sounds like a medical term - am + Freud's term for subconscious + **d folks home
ooohhh...thanks, JBV!
lbdawger, are you sure about the li 4 - I think I have all of them and I don't see the word you clued
JBV, do you also have the at 7? Not getting it!
add the plural
its a + t 6/33 - a preposition meaning lying across
oops sorry mrae....didn't fully read your question
geez...got it, JBV...thx so much!
hi all.
i feel smart most of the time....till I babble!
jbv...i don't get that clue... is the A word the preposition, or the t word?
ra7?
the a word is the preposition, the t words means to block or cross someone's plans = foil

oops sorry i forgot it was a word
Hi, stidmama <hands over home baked choc chip cookie)
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.
tee hee
i do not dream about babble
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...
i only have three kinds of dreams
{{{{{{{JB}}}}}}} I have missed you? are you well? how's hubby's employment status?
morning all
I dream like crazy. Lately unfortunaly lots of wierd nightmares.
Did anyone else try 'rotfl' just to see if it would be accepted?
Hi Saddy!
Hi Saddy
hello Saddy! how are you today? JB -- have you met Saddy? she's newish, but really picked up on things fast!
{{{{{stid!!!}}}}} All's well, just busy for me. DH still looking, hopes for good things soon jobwise!
*crossing fingers, arms, legs and eyes for hubby to get a job*
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)
TYVM, Stid!!!
Hee, hee, you look funny like that, Stid - don't let your eyes get stuck like that!
*grin* but JB -- I'm not doing it NOW...
Um, look again, Stid...
*makes super-size but decaf MJCL and pushes it toward JB*
so you'se guys need clues or what?
S L U R P!!! mmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm
I need resuscutation...
Oh, I'm only at 88 words, and off to bed in minutes
i need pudding
red, I'd share, but it's decaf
I need the last re6 please
re + I **** you so
recited a story again, dr
i need a massage, stid
TY Both!
i've had a demerol
hursh, would homemade rice pudding interest you?
hello ren..
Hi Ren
hey stid and dr
why demerol?
no! sorry but ri4 is not a dessert no matter what you do to it!
banana pudding would be good.
i have to disagree, hursh. with enough sugar and cinnamon, practically ANYTHING is dessert ;)
*sends a serving to hurshy with a topping of whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon*
ok im not even trying to finish this grid
I have 39 left
LOL it's a hefty one, Saddy!
go DR!
once on iron chef they made FISH ICE CREAM ewwww ewww ewwww
i had just 20 odd words left when yesterdays grid flipped...
OOPS! *takes self off to PB for word in chat* *but not before pushing the bowl towards ren!*
What a waste of ice cream Hurshy
oh, yuck, I saw that one, hurshy, ick, ick, ick
push that bowl of ri 4 pudding this way!
I need the 1st or 2nd re4
oh saddy -- that was close... yesterday's grid was tough
first RE 4 is re* room (plural); then to do again is the second RE 4
the last li5?
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!
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)
li5 = li + a bad egg or what garbage does
ty stid!
yes JB... English is a second language... but its a compulsory part of our curriculum in pakistan.
hello all
thanks
JBV, you probably need the italian word for "sweet" do + tall letter + last two letters of the ri 4 pudding
Hi Jilli!
hey jill! hello harp!
hey jilli
plus i've always read a lot and watched a lot of American and british TV... so its like a second native language lol
Good clues, thanks!
Hi Harp.. didnt see you
Jill -- how comes the library fixing?
thanks, stid - should have known that one, still need one more
lol, Saddy!
how are things there? how are the hopes for the (postponed) election?
try the italian plural of the do 5/14 (change the last vowel)
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!
Seconds hurshy's question to Saddy! {{{harpjane! jillibus!}}}}
oh, boy, brain freeze - I actually speak Italian!
hmph. maybe you'll be open when I come see you again in the summer...
thanks, stid
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
I have one word to go -- th6/33 *ducking fish*
is Italian your second native language, JBV?
*grin* I don't anymore JBV, but it sure comes in handy, the little I remember! (gelato, spaghetti, do5)
th 6/33 was mine too Jill -- take the A off the AT 7
at7 minus the a
lol
aah, stid, words after my own heart
stid -- we HOPE it will be done by the beginning of March
want to know what my Third native language is JB lol... Piglatin!!!
YAY JILLLERROOOOO!!!!!!!!!
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
well it's handy to know Saddy -- if you teach middle-schoolers!
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?
OLOay, Saddy!
ty stiddy!!! *fish coming sideways*
are you looking for chum or king tonight Jill?
hurshy, I'm channeling you tonight, my thoughts as well!
a dialect that my brothers and i invented... so its probably different from the piglatin you would be familiar with
*grin* that's the best kind of latin, imho!
there's one more do 4/5 I need (the one after the greek food) - help, please
do kids speak pig latin anymore? I used to love that
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.
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...
hilarious video!
we thought so too, jill!
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*
i need the last sl5 please
that did it, thanks stid, now I'm really almost done, tup to w
stid -- hetty's house is sold!
so you don't feel like your country could be on the verge of chaos or anything?
*faint* oh my word! that was FAST! especially this time of year... *sad face*
sl + null and v***
sweet dreams, JB! see you again SOON!
ty ren!
just heard yesterday -- not from her -- guess she's really busy
sweet zzzzzzzzz' jb thanks for the ri4 pudding
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...
I suppose she is, jill... I haven't heard from her since before xmas either
saddy -- this is very interesting
hurshy our country is in chaos right now... we crossed the verge long ago
so how does that affect everyday life?
why did hetty sell her home?
{{{{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.
ren, she is moving to Victoria near her daughter.
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
is she taking all of her books with her?
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
I can't imagine hetty moving anywhere that she couldn't take her books...
thanks for taking the time to tell me a little about it saddy, i appreciate first-hand info very much.
also because of msBhuttos assasination.. a lot of other factions are taking advantage and looting and causing general disruption...
that sounds nice jilli.
but things have settled down now... lifes back to normal almost
ach, looting! What a horrible thing for people to do
do you feel like it is a temporary situation or likely to worsen?
YW hurshy... what is it exactly that you do?
oh that answered that one :)
saddy, this must be a terrible time for your country - we are all following this news and hoping for the best outcome
oh, i'm just an administrative assistant at a yacht management company... i am just interested in international affairs.
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.
sugar rics flour.... everythings expensive... it affects the poor people more ... im thankful i dont have to worry about these things
niters red
sweet dreams red! see you next time!
oops a typo saved me from PB lol
*yawn* I am tired too... I think I should head out for the time being. I hope everyone is well and safe until we meet again.
i et all the ri4 pudding that was in the penalty box saddy - nothing in there to eat now
clue for the first tr 4/4???
just saw your profile hurshy... i have a blog too... havent been blogging much lately though
happy trails stid
yeah i don't always think of much to say
*almost leaves and comes back in* JILL!! I forgot to tell you about the stidkid's audition -- he got the part he wanted: Nicely-Nicely in "Guys and Dolls"
tr + ** cetera
tr 4 = tr + ** phone home
although i've been meaning to add a bit asking people to vote for barack obama.
thanks, ren - that finishes the t's - onward to the w's
Oh SUPER for the kid, stid!!!
ty, jilli
hey stid - tell stid kid 'grats!
not that it matters, i think about 3 people at most read my blog! lol
okay, now I relayed the news, I am outta here for real. Thanks ren - I will! *zips out again*
yeah i keep telling myself to be more regular... but ...aah now you have 4 hurshy ;)
bye stidmama
ttfn stid!
lol
but you can't vote for barack, lol
lol
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.
it doesn't really fit him though, he's too classy.
I think Obama should call himself Barry
no way!
my dad's name was barak - in hebrew it means lighting
but as you say, hursh, he's too classy (except he smokes)
i think he should call himself bam bam
i heard hilliary was thinking of changing herself into a black man....
does he? i had no idea! LOL harp.
barak -- lighting -- nice, ren
it takes a village to change Hilary
barack's wife was complaining about his smoking
i wonder if the village people could change hilary
young man!!!!!!!
i'm sure hillary was a YMCA fan in her day
I'm not going to bash Hillary
lol
Not her fault her parents didn't know how to spell Hilary
done
bbl
the smoking IS very surprising - not good for the necessary bright presidential candidate smile.
ROFL

oh doxy -- good luck to your mom -- how's she doing?

she went home. her left eye is not moving well, and to me her speech is slowed. she started having problems with double vision today
she is to see her neurologist on monday morning.
I hope they gave her some treatment, doxy!
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.
oh good -- she will be looked after well
just had to vent a little.
of course, doxy
thanks for "listening".
