12:09 am

claustrophobic grid, it is.

12:09 am

very very Nice!!! i like small grids :D

12:10 am

ohh yeah i think we figured that out pretty much right away huh lol

12:10 am

flip! HI fran!

12:10 am

hi jill!

12:10 am

hi carra!

12:10 am

tr 7

12:10 am

not a matter of size -- it's the squinchyness. Stingy. Scrooginess of it

12:11 am

sure is

12:11 am

and the Cs, don't like Cs

12:11 am

it looks like roman numerals

12:11 am

hi carra

12:11 am

hi rennie!!

12:11 am

hey frannie

12:11 am

12:13 am

as usual, I only have little words

12:14 am

co6

12:14 am

i have one big one

12:14 am

nothing against C's per se, but as Fran says, Qu's are quite quizzically satisfying. (especially without their U's, which can't happen here, I guess. Has dr. g ever put up a Q without a U?)

12:14 am

well two actually

12:14 am

6 and a 7

12:14 am

jill, little words mostly are all we're going to get out of this one (prediction -- *neck sticking waaay out*)

12:15 am

tr7 -- even if it's already been called *patting self on back*

12:15 am

the Q always comes with a U

12:16 am

i have co6 x 2

12:16 am

sigh. after all those years memorizing U-less Q's for Scrabble!

12:16 am

ty fran

12:17 am

i got another co6

12:17 am

Rummied should be a word.

12:17 am

nonnie thats what i thought as with a y i thought i was the wrong spelling for that word

12:17 am

i agree nonnie

12:18 am

Nonnie -- rummied is a word we used to use as kids playing gin

12:18 am

finally found the tr7! *smack*

12:18 am

lots of words should be words, lol

12:18 am

like internet

12:18 am

That's exactly how I remember it too, jwr!

12:18 am

lol--true, jill :o)

12:18 am

ML does that make 3 Co6's? Or was that your second?

12:19 am

12:19 am

belated hellos to all of you out in babbleland (was that an old time radio-announcer line?) -- apologize for seeming to jump in and out but I'm working on a crisis line so sometimes the hi's and bye's get truncated. Hi. Congrats. Bye. (keeping the grid up but not the chat -- will reenter when I get home in 3 hrs or so)

12:41 am

yw bb

grumble my net is being mental

12:41 am

ty jilli - I do enjoy when I have tme to do both. Not so much admirable, lynx, as satisfying. well, most of the time. This is a kind a stress one adjusts to -- not the kinds that come down on one's own head. I think there's someone else who Babbles while doing pretty much the same thing. ... now that I said goodbye, I have a quiet set of telephones... hmmm.

12:41 am

herin better it then you lol

12:42 am

bb i would like the ac5 too

12:43 am

jwr..satisfying for you, but admirable in my eyes

12:43 am

mlfan, i gave clues for both

12:43 am

hi herin. weren't you in the grid last night or so? (not a "legal" word, though)

12:44 am

Hooray for bbnaz!

12:46 am

rockets? You finished, bb???

12:46 am

yipperee bobby

12:46 am

lynx - I don't have family anymore. Think about the things you do for your loved ones every day -- kids raised, pets vetted, living in the suburbs and other dangers ... and how you have to be ready for anything. Now THAT's admirable.

Jwr i was but i was also under heron the other day

hi herin, just been working (airport has been a zoo over the last coupe of days), trying to babble in between flights

1:05 am

if you pluralize it, it means the holes in your teeth

1:06 am

i only have 1 ca word to get and i cant get it

1:06 am

jill???

1:06 am

2 tiles still blank -- the I in the middle and the C lower right -- any help available?

1:06 am

nm -- monkey found it

1:07 am

cyber can you clue it?

1:08 am

Just looked - ca*y is singular guinea pig and ca5.18+s are plural - ca*y is the correct name for a guinea pig - used to work for a guy who judged them (yes, he was a bit odd)

I just got a very suportive hmmf. thanks hun. Scorpia all the more luck to you doing that at this time of year. People get more impolite and more stupid

1:08 am

co5 please?

1:09 am

yeah, i'm just wondering why the word with no s on the end counts as a word, since it should be with a y if single, or have an s on the end if spelled the way it is here...

1:09 am

another one i need flosey

1:09 am

flosey, made a sound like a dove

1:09 am

night jilli!

Night Jill

1:57 am

message for "too stinkin hot" people: how's this for weather? going home from work last night, my bus driver turned grey, stopped the bus on the verge as we were exiting the off-ramp. What he saw in his rear-view mirror was a megaton 18-wheeler (truck/ pantechnicon/lorry, depending on your location) topple over on its side. Then a second. Then a third. whoosh, horrendous crash, shrieking metal sliding across the highway off the Bay Bridge. Another passenger called up the news on his hand-held whatsit and got the report of 75mph winds gusting to over 100. ... Soaked to the skin when I got home but there seemed to be no damage. Except when I happened to glance out the window: where the day before had stood a gloriously fat-fruited and foliaged fig tree was now stripped to the bare twigs; not a sign in the garden that there had ever been anything living there above grass level. Damn. Once in 12 years we get Weather here. But then it's a doozy.

nite jili

1:57 am

wow jwr!

http://cbs5.com/local/bay.area.storm.2 .623064.html

I am listening to this

2:12 am

herin, reports say they were really shook up (the drivers) but no badly hurt. One of them described it in a sailing term I don't remember, the feeling when the sail isn't properly secured and the wind catches it full in the wrong place and tips the boat over -- the wind just caught him broadside coming around the curve. In fact, as with the "big" quake and other local disasters the expected damage and injury never seems to reach expected proportions.

2:12 am

having a lot of trouble with the bottom A and the C on the right

2:12 am

the C on the right is the first 5 letters of the collar-bone

2:13 am

let me (and Lady) know if there's anythng urgent, herin. No speakers on the computer.

2:13 am

the A on the bottom is ac5 ends like the ca6 ruru

2:14 am

What do you call a clairvoyant midget who escaped from prison?

2:14 am

2:14 am

A small medium at large

2:14 am

2:17 am

2:17 am

That's almost as bad as the pakistani-crisis line joke earlier. not everyone's cuppa if one has pakistani or height-impaired friends but an lol nonetheless. Got any more? Don't tell them!

2:17 am

nope, um5

2:18 am

do you know what baby sweet potatos sleep in?

2:18 am

alt spelling for eskimo canoe ruru

2:18 am

no, what ruru?

2:18 am

2:19 am

2:19 am

hee, cute ruru

2:19 am

ah. Eskimo. Inuit?

2:19 am

there is no definition when you click the ?, but the other spelling comes up as an option

2:19 am

you got me on the canoe... not up to snuff on eslimo stuff

2:20 am

eskimo stuff

2:20 am

terminally cute ruru

2:20 am

sooooo sorry for that one... babble made me do it

2:20 am

sooooo sorry for that one... babble made me do it

2:20 am

2:21 am

2:21 am

by the way JW living in SF you have to be politically correct about short people and call them vertically challenged individuals

2:21 am

i just googled it and it shows up as an alt spelling for the eskimo boat in wikipedia

JWR you in San Fran?

2:22 am

nanook rowed hi un 5 ashore, allelujah

2:22 am

way ahead of you ruru -- that's why I said heigh-impaired. But you gotta be flexible linguistically if you want to babblechat.

2:22 am

ROFL

2:23 am

just watching the weather, it's 58 F in Waimea on the Big Island right now!

2:23 am

2:24 am

I just saw the San Fran news cast online not good

Fran, do you have any idea what Maui weather is like? have a couple days off and want to go somewhere warm

2:25 am

I think the storm is coming from Hawaii. 58F seems pretty cool for this time of year. Is that normal?

jwr - hence the pineapple express

2:26 am

i didn't notice if it's a record or anything jwr, there are parts of the big island that go down to the 40s during the winter

2:26 am

herin - what does "not good" mean? (the rest of you please don't jump on that; it wasn't a babble clue.

2:26 am

I have ma 4/6, 5/16, 4/6, 4/6, 5/14, 4/7. 4/6.. what am I missing?

Storm not good is what i meant

MI 4/5

2:27 am

2:27 am

brb

2:28 am

Hi everyone

2:28 am

Happy New Year to you all

Hi FM

2:32 am

ruru, it must be the M that i'm missing

2:32 am

Lady, just read your profile to find out where you were. Your job good grief! You must aspire to sainthood. At least on a crisis line, I don't have to be held responsible or representative of those responsible for others' ... unhappiness.

2:32 am

2:32 am

yay ruru!!!

Clue RU and YAHH

THANKS

2:34 am

thanks ruru!

jwr - have been doing this for 35 years, my philosophy is "mr/ms psgr there are 2 people interested in getting you on your flight (and one of them is rapidly losing interest)... for the most part, though, pax understand about weather delays

2:34 am

yw glad to help you on that one.. Thank my monkey on that one

Its AUs and its summer. Its been up to 90plus F here today. its when its stinking hot at night that sucks.

:-)

2:39 am

are you finished already fran?

2:40 am

nope, i need 3 more words

2:40 am

False alarm. A wrong number. Back to the important stuff -- heat there, wind here, blizzards in the Rockies where it's usually sunshine on snow that only falls politely at night. sounds like the old gl**al wa>>ing to me.

Ru it was 90 F overnight on new years. They had to close the beach for 3 hours to clean it up as the life savers couldn't get their kit out to the water

2:42 am

duh, just found de5/14

2:42 am

wow

2:42 am

Thank you! Not that I'll finish...

2:53 am

re ruru's climate report - true, except for San Francisco proper. Usually cool year round with some uncomfortable (Ahem! she coughed) two or three-day 'heat'waves' in early July or late September. Anything over 80F is hot. Spoiled rotten rotten rotten (which is why the rare storms freak out the natives)

2:53 am

yes, tho back on a corse on monday, then back to work tues

2:53 am

Hi MVA, Fran, everybody. I saw in the chat Knight finished in 30 minutes! Something to shoot for.

Night Ru and hi Marmar

mary, it's not how quickly you finish, or if you finish, it's how well you enjoy the time you played. :-)

2:54 am

Night cheated. Did the grid instead of babbling at other babblers!!! Gotta run for real ... changing shifts Bye All thanx and be well

2:55 am

bye jwr!

Night JWR take care

2:55 am

bye jwr

2:56 am

You are right Fran, and I am getting better, slowly, slowly. I do love working on the grid and my kids are getting hooked too, it's fun here in the mornings!

Marmar u are missed

2:58 am

mary, it must develop some skill they'll need later in life! that's cool that they like it

3:00 am

Sweet of you Lady. Since the kids have had Christmas break from school, they dominate the computer mornings. Today I cheated and turned on Saturday morning cartoons....we finally have some great channels that show the old classics, MGM, Popeye (the oldies), Jetsons. The new stuff can't compare.

Yah. Damn Ru ru got me looking at homes in Napa Valley

3:01 am

Fran, my youngest, Marcus, has basically taught himself to read English with babble. He was doing good with German already and I have not been teaching, he is just picking it up with his big sisters.

3:02 am

that's great mary, kids just soak everything up. i wish it stayed that way!

3:03 am

going to break for breakfast, bbl

Marmar were in the world are u located

3:04 am

I agree Fran. Have you heard that theory that babies are born with all the knowledge in the universe and as soon as we start "teaching them" we dumb them down....might be true.

3:04 am

I agree Fran. Have you heard that theory that babies are born with all the knowledge in the universe and as soon as we start "teaching them" we dumb them down....might be true.

3:04 am

Lady, I'm in Germany, north of Frankfurt. (sorry about that double post)

3:04 am

mary, my 4 year old certainly thinks he knows everything already. :-)

Ok thats right now i remember

3:05 am

Maybe we should listen more closely to them when they have something to say, we could learn something!

3:05 am

I baked pretzels for breakfast this morning...how German is that!

3:06 am

cift

yum

3:06 am

i've been to Germany twice. I had friends that were stationed at Rose Barracks. I loved it there!

Marmar you could do an english word of the day for the kids. My b.f does that with a guy at his work that is Slovic

3:07 am

i loved the food, the beer, the countryside. it's so beautiful in Bavaria

3:08 am

mary, if you have a recipe for jaeger schnitzel i would love to have it.

3:10 am

I love it here. I'm from Texas (which I love despite what I'm about to write) which is not very pretty, at least north Texas isn't. I love the whole atmosphere here, I think it's a better place to raise kids, not so much hectic, less competative...and the food....well, you know!

3:11 am

ah yes, the food. mmmm

3:11 am

Fran I can get you a good jäger schnitzel recipe, I'll get it from my mother-in-law!

http://tinyurl.com/2kbgb7 FRAN go here

3:11 am

oh cool mary!

3:11 am

Lady, that is a good idea. A good new years resolution!

3:12 am

i know there's stuff on-line infernal, but this is straight from Germany!

3:13 am

i will check out that food network link though, thanks infernal!

3:13 am

mary, you can email it to me at franw66@aol.com. no hurry though. :-)

3:14 am

That's a great idea Lady. Germans ask me for brownie and panckae recipes all the time and never think to look on the internet, there are literally thousands there and lots even in German. Got your address fran, thanks.

www.allrecipes.com and www.taste.com.au is the two i use

3:17 am

anyone want a clue before i get going?

Ill have 24 clues pluse

3:18 am

you want random ones? :-)

no thanks

3:19 am

Aloha Fran. Marcus just took over the grid and I might miss your departure. Have a great day in paradise!

3:19 am

thanks mary!

3:19 am

bye everyone! have a great day or night!

3:56 am

thnx kk29, weird word!

3:57 am

argh, family issues :( So sorry to hear it was painful. Did it result in something good though?

it resulted in my mother and father inlaw cancelling their time with us... my brother and his wife having lunch with us next sunday, and my husbands sister speaking to her brother and sorting it all out

f**king nearly killed me

I just wanna hurt them!!

and my dad \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\!! he finally forgave me

4:00 am

babble experts?

5:10 am

i normally go to a scrabble site,but i come here for a nice change.

5:11 am

5:12 am

ty pink'

5:13 am

i reckon once you have the expert you will enjoy babble that much more!

5:15 am

5:17 am

5:22 am

who were you in Tangle Truff I don't recognize the name

5:22 am

how are you sprite?

5:23 am

have you done a profile westford?

5:23 am

not too great, actually... lots of bad things happening en another part of body acting up. But morale is pretty much ok, and that is the most important, isn't it? How are you doing, pink?

5:23 am

I just did the picture can't figure out how to get my flag

5:23 am

by entering nationatily, westford

5:24 am

and to check the option that flag can be displayed!

5:24 am

oh ok I'll go do that

5:25 am

hello everyone

5:25 am

hi ardilla

5:25 am

it never rains with you, it pours. i think life really is just a test of strength and character. you have so many things hurled at you, and still manage to smile. Try and keep your spirit up!!!

5:26 am

hi ardilla

5:26 am

I try, I really try! Thanks hun, you really give me courage.

5:27 am

yah, halfway done!

5:27 am

*gives sprite the mother of all hugs*

5:27 am

5:28 am

*hugs pink back* Thanks, for being there for me. It means a lot to me.

5:29 am

no need to say thanks, that is what friends do right?any time sprite!!!!

5:30 am

it is, but it should never be taken for granted :) It is special.

5:31 am

brb lil pink stinks

5:31 am

I'm back let's see if I have my flag

5:31 am

oh boo not yet

5:32 am

westford, at the top of the profile there is a check: Show my profile. Did you check that?

5:32 am

yes I did

5:33 am

maybe it will show up the next time I log on

5:33 am

then I am out of ideas, lol. Restart browser, maybe?

5:33 am

or force refresh

5:33 am

it did say something about refreshing

5:34 am

if you use IE, you could do control F5.

5:34 am

ok I just did that

5:34 am

I'm on Netscape

5:35 am

and still no joy... perhaps shut down the browser and restart it... that's all I can think of.

5:35 am

I never use that but it was the one they recommended

5:35 am

well at least I got a picture of KC..for Kitty Cat we couldn't come up with a name for him

5:36 am

it will probably work when I come back later

5:37 am

I like that name, actually. And a sweet pic. Lots of cat lovers here, btw, they will all love your icon.

5:37 am

KC very pretty - hi all

5:37 am

thanks for all the help sprite I really appreciate it

5:37 am

he's our big fluffy boy

5:38 am

sorry it did not work out, westford, but I bet you are right about it working next time. Hi kath!

5:38 am

he adopted us..just walked up the driveway..all dirty and flea bitten and only 8 weeks old

5:38 am

im back! hey, katie....your cat is sooo fluffy west!

5:38 am

*sorry kathw*

5:39 am

all that fur keeps him warm now

5:39 am

awww smart cat. He looks like he walked right into catty heaven.

5:39 am

is there any way to make the pictures bigger I can hardly see it

5:39 am

we do treat them well lol

5:39 am

awwww he must have ran away, and straight to you

5:39 am

just click on them, that should open the profile with the larger pic, west.

5:40 am

thanks

5:40 am

that's funny...says I'm a human from planet earth

5:40 am

or do they all say that?

5:41 am

ah, then perhaps you did not enter your nationality and gender, or did not save it.

5:41 am

pink - we live towards the end of the Central Line and our son id trying to buy in the East End - prices still terrible all around though

5:41 am

no, that is the standard setting, west.

5:41 am

I did enter but maybe you're right about not saving..off I go again. lol

5:42 am

no, you can enter you age, what part of the world you are from and give us nosy babblers some info about yourself eg likes and dislikes

5:43 am

that is something that I might do: filling it all in and then leave page without saving.

5:43 am

ok so you are "local" to me, do you live the loughton end or west ruislip end kath?

5:44 am

yah, 25 left

5:44 am

we are in Buckhurst Hill

5:44 am

nice going, ardilla. I am down to 14, but chatting too much, lol.

5:44 am

I mostly like the things that I like not to adventuresome

5:45 am

never heard of it kath, sounds nice though.

5:45 am

why is that, BabbleRabble? And good to see you :)

5:45 am

next stop to loughton

5:45 am

Hi folks. Small grid today - I finished it before I'd drunk my second cuppa!

5:45 am

hey Jac :) *hug*

5:45 am

i keep wanting to type in dance and clavicle!

5:46 am

well, why complicate things by liking things you dislike?

5:46 am

so is that nearer essex?

5:46 am

among other phantoms, me too, pink :)

5:46 am

((Hugs)) for Sprite.

5:47 am

hey jacula, how's you?

5:47 am

oh, LOL. Now I get it... forgive my slow dutch brain. Yeah, although kinda human, it is not a smart way to go, disliking things you like.

5:47 am

night night all,see you next ime

5:47 am

Yes, pink, those were among my phantoms. Also, 'officee'.

5:47 am

Office, that is.

5:55 am

bye kathw give your dog a hug for me we love dogs too

5:56 am

6:06 am

I'm a lot more tolerant now because of her

6:07 am

I have one U do they both start with UN?

6:08 am

6:08 am

i dont know im not there yet west

6:08 am

10 left

6:08 am

I still don't like them very much

6:09 am

6:09 am

6:13 am

thx carlee

6:14 am

i only have 7 words..but I had that one

6:15 am

West - it was me. I? No, me. We had Weather in San Francisco. Something that doesn't happen often. Central feature: winds at 75mph that caught at least three megaton 18-wheelers broadside and tipped them over on their sides on the highway. And our poor fig tree -- the day before a full-foliaged fruitbearer -- yesterday morn, a barebarknaked bunch of sticks. Gone though. The last time this sort of thing happened was 12 years ago.

6:15 am

sorry, was afk without telling, some domestic stress came up and I had to run. Back now, hi all new-incomers.

6:16 am

i was asking whether you snuck out the back door lol

6:16 am

is everything ok?

6:17 am

oh that's too bad jwr

6:17 am

lol, yeah, something like that! But I left temporarily. Yeah, sorted things out. The right kids on their way to horseriding, the right kids upstairs playing runescape now, and all in peace again. Except me, lol.

6:17 am

thanks carleekat

6:18 am

sorry to hear that, jwr

6:18 am

has it calmed down now?

6:18 am

some storm, jwr

6:18 am

any clue for um pls?

6:18 am

7 to go

6:18 am

go ardilla go!

6:19 am

um + vowel to call myself + jump into **tion.

6:19 am

thx sprite

6:19 am

nobody hurt as far as I know but lots of property damage. Two more storms due (well, rain -- having grown up on the Atlantic Coast, thunderstorms were a matter of course -- this is trivial stuff) but the next ones will be successively weaker. Hawaii is sending them and we're passing them Eastward. Good for the S. California fire danger, though.

6:20 am

um is that ticklish Inuit canoe

6:20 am

I thought they were nice in Hawaii

6:21 am

sending all that bad weather your way

6:21 am

i think hawaii suffers with a lot of tropical storms

6:21 am

thanks for the canoe

6:21 am

...doesn't it?

6:21 am

our daughter was on her honeymoon when the fires hit in October

6:22 am

babbler Fran is more than nice -- she denies responsibility ... could be an evil weatherman on an outer island...

6:22 am

they didn't even know about them until they got to the airport

6:22 am

it is no way Fran's fault. Fran's a darling. And in Babble, we blame FMitch. :D

6:22 am

their house was okay but she said they could smell the smoke for weeks

6:23 am

firewords!!

6:23 am

wtg pink!!!!!!

6:23 am

I'm sure Fran is nice I was talking about all those other mean people

6:23 am

did they live in SoCal, west? or do they, I should say. What happened. Yes, Sprite. I agree about Fran. I had a sneaking suspicious about FMitch -- the person who ate all my gingerbread once, I think...

6:23 am

<POMOM TOSS> for pink..w00t w00t

6:23 am

we usually get our bad weather from the midwest

6:24 am

where my husband's relatives live

6:24 am

thanks carlee and sprite

6:24 am

hehehe, sounds like FMitch :D Where would we be without her!

6:24 am

they're in San Diego..North County

6:24 am

fires were really close

6:24 am

There's not much else to do in R.I. *wonders how many people she can offend in one chat*

6:25 am

we were all out there for the wedding just days before

6:25 am

oh I'm very sorry

6:25 am

well, let's say you can try. In how far you will succeed... ;)

6:25 am

I'll go now

6:25 am

what's wrong, westford?

6:26 am

Did the fires get that far South? ... Just shows you how much us Northerners know about the bottom part of the state.

6:26 am

don't go... what are you sorry about and why do you leave, westford?

6:26 am

come back, westford...

6:26 am

I bet there is some misunderstanding.

6:27 am

did I say something? did westford really go? Oh dear.

6:28 am

hello all - help pls im5/16

6:29 am

now I am worried. I bet something we said went down the wrong way with westford, while we definitely meant something innocent. Hope she will be back soon.

6:29 am

hi scarydeb, sorry, is one of the 10 I am missing still.

6:30 am

hi sprite - i have ca6, im5 and ac5/16 left

6:31 am

ca6 goes almost like the ac5/16, deb, but with changed 2nd letter. ac + 3 blind ***e.

6:32 am

sprite, the only thing I see that might have hurt westford's feelings was my crack about Rhode Island -- I should have happyfaced it, I guess. But I can't see anything that westford would say sorry for. I'm going to bury myself in the grid now -- 12 to go.

6:33 am

go for it, jwr. I don't know, sometimes things come across wrongly on typing. We can't do a thing until she starts talking again.

6:33 am

scarydeb - im5 is the same as im4 with an added vowel in the middle

6:33 am

west are you still there?

6:33 am

ah, thanks snapdragn

6:34 am

:)

6:34 am

you are kind, sprite, and I my fingers type faster than my brain sometimes.

6:35 am

we'll see, hope she will be back soon so we can sort it out.

6:36 am

If she comes back while you're there, please offer my apologies and: (:

6:36 am

will do, but it might be as well that I was the one that offended her in some way.

6:37 am

7:39 am

i guess Uni, that will change come monday ?

oped

7:40 am

Nance, if you pay you get icons, a profile, and the stats panel (which you might have right now if you registered within the last two weeks).

7:40 am

nance, you pay $14.95 once and you get the stats, icons, clues

7:40 am

oops - if y'all don't have it yet "oped" works - lol

8:02 am

8:02 am

hi there JBV !

8:02 am

72

8:03 am

Same here Nono. Methinks the tree, lights etc, will be coming down today, if I get energetic.

8:03 am

I realized I was just staring at the chat, having entered no words from the grid and not even sipping coffee.

8:03 am

Hi, nono, me too - boxes of stuff still in living room waiting to be put away

Well, in that case, I am not even going to really start. I have 4 words. On that note. I will turn off the puter, get in the car and finish off this horrid drive to NM...

TU Montreal.

8:05 am

Drive careful red. G'd morning saphyre

JBV, I'll be there for 3 months...so I hope to see white sands, and some other fun stuff

8:05 am

Hm, it's only a couple of inches on a map, right?

Any recommendations?

8:07 am

I have a large pile of laundry to do too, Featherbee. But I have to be fully conscious to walk down the basement stairs with a basket of clothes.

8:07 am

Monty's feeding my Mum?

SOme part of me wants to just go home!

8:07 am

little town of Madrid (they say it with accent on the first syllable) - very arty, nice shops, etc.

8:07 am

Easy there Uni......

Ooh cool. Maybe I can do some early X mas shopping....

8:07 am

8:08 am

Take care Red!! Enjoy the ride ;)

8:09 am

ooh red said a word :)

8:09 am

lol, i thought it was funny too uni, now that i went back and caught on!

8:10 am

But Uni, if your Mum is a dragon, are you one too?

8:10 am

scrabs, nick is a child prodigy in my dreams. i dreamed he took his first steps, at almost 5 months old!

8:10 am

***Uni has seen me sans coffee. Definitely dragon-ish***

8:10 am

I'm a baby dragon. A dragon in training, if you will.

8:11 am

The earliest I have ever seen a baby walk is 7 mo---and he is now almost 9 and a math prodigy.

8:11 am

Yes, she is in the pull-ups stage, as we speak. :-)

8:12 am

I was probably 2 years old then, Lol...

8:12 am

my oldest walked at 8 mo. - she is finishing law school this month - AND on a game show next week LOL

8:12 am

daniel's giving his baby a bath, so cute. little tub, water, pretend soap, the works!

8:12 am

I was so cold yesterday after cross-country skiing that I went to bed with 2 sweatshirts on, a fleece pullover and a winter hat! I woke up early this morning having an incredible hot flash.

8:13 am

what show is she on saphyre?

8:13 am

What game show? Can we watch her?

8:13 am

lol scrabs! i hate sweating when i sleep

8:13 am

a new show on the game show network called how much is enough - it airs tuesday night at 9 eastern

Saphyre that is sooo exciting

8:13 am

Wait til menopause, Feather!

8:14 am

and what is her name so we can look for her?

8:14 am

she is either on this tueday or next tuesday night - but is on all the coming attraction clips

8:14 am

I don't have that network, I suspect.

8:14 am

its on cable and directtv

8:14 am

BBL - going to get weighed in -

8:15 am

most cable companies have it

8:15 am

prodigy is a word that disturbs me greatly, when associated with a youngster and their skills

8:15 am

I don't have it as I only have regular cable

8:15 am

And weighing in before the big fight, it's JBV!

not sure if we get the game show network or not.... i will have to check

8:15 am

good luck jbv

8:16 am

ok, delayed long enough. gonna start laundry.

8:16 am

How about gifted, Lori?

8:16 am

daniel's doing a great job bathing his baby! i love watching him pretend plaky

8:16 am

Shall I stop typing in QU words now?

8:16 am

right...leaving...

8:16 am

would love to be a featherweight - not yet!

8:16 am

They are all the same Scrabbler. The stigma and associated stresses are to overwhelming to create balance, IMO

8:17 am

gifted - I always tell Kim that she got in line twice when they gave out brains, luck, and drive :)

umm that's ok Scrabbs..... i did the same thing

8:17 am

LOL Scrabbler, yes, it is futile......

8:17 am

But what about kids that are truly gifted----kids doing math or reading way beyond their peers?

8:17 am

Could be therapeutic for future grids though!

8:18 am

When Kim was in elem. school they had a program that the kids attended one day per week - all day

8:19 am

hands on gifted class

8:19 am

All children have "gifts" some more markedly so than others. They should most definitely be nurtured, but not defined by them.

8:19 am

The disconnect is a problem though. I have a sweet little boy in my practice, age 5, with Asperger Syndrome--very anxious and with trouble socializing, yet reading at 4th grade level. He started reading at 2 1/2 yrs. He fascinates me yet the school system cannot meet all of his needs.

8:19 am

when she got to middle school the classes were seperated - what i didn't quite agree with is that her group got all the top teachers

8:20 am

As a parent, I'm as proud as the next guy. Such labels tend to be more for parents, than the kids. With those strengths, are associated weaknesses, some obvious, some not.

8:20 am

I agree, Lori. Have you read the book, "Multiple Intelligences?"

8:20 am

I thought those teachers might be better for children who needed more help

8:21 am

Schools are the limiting factor in identifying how kids learn best, and their strengths and weaknesses.

8:21 am

No I haven't Scrabbler. I will check it out though. Sounds fascinating.

8:21 am

Time for round #2 of coffee.

8:22 am

me too scrabs

8:23 am

mee 3 brb

8:23 am

***doles out liberal amounts of coffee***

8:23 am

Another great book = "All Kinds of Minds"--by pediatrician, Mel Levine, that has written many great books. I saw him at a conference once.

8:23 am

back - thanks Lori :)

8:23 am

8:28 am

8:28 am

aww r what kind are they?

8:28 am

I am keeping one

8:29 am

thats good cause anymore u just cant give them to ANY ole person

8:29 am

the mom is a pit - the dad (my dog) is a border collie/husky mix

8:29 am

They are SO cute, saphyre!

8:30 am

I have a web site with more pics listed in my profile - I'll post more pics this afternoon

8:30 am

awww toooooo cute I have decided after my other dogs go I dont think Im getting any more it broke my heart when we had to put our retriver down I STILL cry over her

8:31 am

I had a golden for 15 years - still miss him

8:31 am

she was the best dog in the world!

8:32 am

I miss her so much this house just isnt the same without her

8:32 am

Dakota - my border collie mix is great though - He is so smart and so loving

8:32 am

i know how you feel shorty.. we still grieve the loss of our Labrador, Taz

8:33 am

She was just an awesome dog my grand kids could lay on her sit on her and she would just sit there and let them

8:34 am

when did u lose urs Aloy?

8:34 am

That's how my Tiki was - my kids dressed him in doll clothes - held on to him when learning to walk -

8:34 am

he was wonderful with kids

8:35 am

I miss my old bunnies. I look out into the woods at my pet cemetery and remember my pals.

8:35 am

its actually as bad as losing a parent

8:35 am

awwww

8:35 am

Feb. 7th of last year, shorty... this holiday we delivered a bunch of food and other supplies to the local Animal Welfare League in his memory

8:35 am

:(

8:36 am

I remember when Taz was sick.

8:36 am

oh that is a great idea!

8:36 am

That's great Aloy

8:36 am

:(

8:37 am

We lost our 17 yr old cat last year

8:37 am

they really need help.. a news story prompted the idea.. a house with 46 dogs was raided.. terrible how some people treat animals

8:37 am

She just wasn't the same after Tiki passed

8:38 am

yes, Scrabbler.. and I remember your kind words of support, too..

8:38 am

they were pals

8:39 am

well, this isn't the cheeriest of chats, but you know.. it helps to share your feelings..

8:39 am

aww Thats sad saph

8:39 am

true

8:39 am

yes it does Aloy

8:39 am

When someone dies, their life is not over, is has merely changed!

8:39 am

how true

8:39 am

i feel that way too.. the energy changes into other forms

8:40 am

nothing like a puppy or kitten to make you feel a little better though

8:40 am

we adopted a cat a few years ago and she is my baby

8:40 am

our neighbor is nagging us to adopt a pup or kitten, and we surely will.. when the time is right.. too much traveling at present

8:41 am

she was playing with the puppies with a squeek toy this morning

8:41 am

I thought for sure my coco would be depressed b/c they always played and she would sit on top of her when its was cold out but I didnt really see a change in her

8:42 am

how old is coco

8:42 am

4

8:42 am

puff was only 1 year younger than Tiki - they grew up together - so I guess it was more traumatic for her

8:43 am

and she had been with her from 10 weeks

8:43 am

together for 14 years I guess

8:43 am

wow!

8:44 am

wow again..

8:44 am

I am past halfway--BBL

10:35 am

Just got another 3 :-)

10:35 am

hi katieW

10:35 am

i just got in

10:35 am

I know what you mean lillian, not on the painkillers but that means I'm in pain rather than fogged up.

10:35 am

go, go go katie!

10:35 am

Hi army :-)

10:36 am

hi joes... sorry for the delay.. my poor baby is suffering

10:36 am

aww, i'm sorry to hear that lady.

10:36 am

hi army

10:36 am

why are you in pain katie?

10:37 am

he's an 86 lb puppy who just got neutered day before yesterday - we had him in to emergency last night because he is going crazy with the irritation

10:37 am

Teeth. Two wisdom teeth coming out on tuesday, not looking forward to it but can't wait at the same time.

10:37 am

woohoo. finally got the ro7. though one would think that having the ro 6 would have helped me find it a long time ago.

10:37 am

ouch katie. i had mine out a few years ago. it hurts!!

10:37 am

ahh, hope he gets better soon....that's a big puppy!!

10:38 am

ah, toothache...not nice, but atleast the pain will stop when they are out

10:38 am

poor thing. i always hate when animals are in pain.

10:39 am

good morning, back again for my last 17 - looking for the ca 6 (between the 4's), please

10:39 am

at least you knew what was going on with him lady...my cat was sick a while ago & i couldn't figure out what was happening...it's pretty scary.

10:39 am

thanks for the kind words lilli and joes... he is a big puppy... maybe it's harder on them?

10:40 am

sorry jbv - don't have it yet.

10:40 am

don't forget he is male...lower pain threshold :-) Joking apart I hope he feels better soon, lots of cuddles will help :-)

10:40 am

joes, your comment about the ro7 helped me find it... can't believe I didn't see it earlier

10:41 am

yeah. i had the same experience. sheesh.

10:41 am

ca-a mean man and something a singer sings into(1st part of word)

10:56 am

hi and bye spec

10:56 am

kill them katie. not really, but sometimes it's tempting. my fat boy cat comes and sits on my head in the night. if i ever die of asphyxiation & no one knows why....i suspect he'll be the cause.

10:56 am

Got 21 left, might have to ge the list soon as we are going out in an hour.

10:56 am

bye spec

10:56 am

10:57 am

vn carra. i could use some sunshine. been raining inches and crazy wind here.

10:57 am

god lili. i can relate.

10:57 am

Joe I so relate to that. Crumble thinks I am actually her mummy so she likes to snuggle up to my hair at night (thinking it is fur), quite often she will lie right across both my mouth and nose, this either wakes me or hubby2be but I could be worry!

10:57 am

where are you Joe?

10:57 am

yikes katie...be careful. we don't want to lose you. : )

10:58 am

10:59 am

op 4/6 is an archaic past tense of the same word

10:59 am

Crumble is sitting next to me purring, Rhubarb is sulking due to the fact that I have the laptop on my lap and Custard is sleeping on my computer chair

10:59 am

my old ginger tom use to do that to me aswell katie and my otherone use to lie under the cover with me, but she had to wear a lampshade collar all the time and so it wasn't very comfortable....they're both dead now, bless em

He wants to go work outside, and he comes in and asks me if there's anything specific I would like him to do

11:09 am

I think about it, and then say "yes" and give him a short list

11:09 am

I think about it, and then say "yes" and give him a short list

11:09 am

11:13 am

11:13 am

We've been through this before, Joes--the last time was whe he took on a $30,000 loan to go to school, the time before that was when we were buying and selling a house. I'm recognizing the stress symptoms, I think.

11:14 am

HI everyone

11:14 am

Hi ruru

11:14 am

hi p2h

11:14 am

no-one for the IMs?

11:14 am

yeah, then you might want to ask him if there's anything that you could do for him. it definitely sounds like this is a pattern that comes up when he's feeling stressed.

11:15 am

I don't know you but I wanted to say "hi ruru" because "ruru" is FUN TO SAY

11:15 am

lady - katie clued you a few min. ago.

12:37 pm

Welcome, btw :D

12:38 pm

I didn't watch it carefully as I read the newspaper and worked on the NYT crossword puzzle, Visually it was fascinating.

12:38 pm

I don't think it is a film that demands much careful attention.

12:38 pm

I do not go to a movie theatre and I order DVDs from Blockbuster Online so I always have something to watch.

12:58 pm

Well, then, TNC, good luck.

12:59 pm

oh I can't sleep for many reasons. had the enormous blowout with my husbands family last night.

Oh, no, mrp! What? Why?

1:00 pm

good evening everyone:)

1:03 pm

hello all!

1:03 pm

TY, Bubba

1:03 pm

ty bubba

1:03 pm

Hi Stid

1:03 pm

TY Jean - we miss him too.

1:03 pm

hello stidmama:)

great, thanks. Happy New Year to you, too. How

1:03 pm

hello! Stid

How's your weather?

1:03 pm

Oh, MRP! Family problems are no fun. Has Lickety been helpful?

i also spoke to my sister in law and she said the same thing, that i am to blame. oh well. so much for that

1:04 pm

{{{{{****mrp****}}}}} I just read back. So sorry for the harsh feelings.

1:04 pm

Why do people have to say what they are thinking when saying it would be harmful?

he has been helpful yes... he also 'expects' them to apologise to me, but i don't want that at all, it only causes problems with people who are terribly stubborn

1:04 pm

co5/14 please?

1:04 pm

thanks, bubba. Does anyone know what that word means?

1:05 pm

Help with de5/20 please?

1:05 pm

MRP - sheesh - obviously they are not backward in coming forward! perhaps it is good that they moved further away. Is Lickety still happy with you - coz really that is all that matters!

1:05 pm

If it helps you feel less lonely, mrp, I am not on speaking terms with most of my family of origin (for various reasons) but it's yucky. At least Tom's family tolerates me!

1:05 pm

Is it a kayak?

1:05 pm

not regular coffee but de***

flaks - what a pigeon did

1:05 pm

co5 - what pigeons said

scrab, my mother in law says mean things, just like my sister in law, and then they think it is ok and they sweep it under the carpet until the next time they are upset

1:05 pm

Aha, TY, Bubba

1:05 pm

thanks for my first word bubba -- is it me or is this grid going to be a stinker?

1:06 pm

some tricky words, but all in all, not tto bad

1:06 pm

de 5/20 healthy coffee?

1:06 pm

Hiya Stid

1:06 pm

Lickety should be protecting and defending you, his wife, from them.

1:06 pm

thanks TeaN...how are you....long time no see???

1:06 pm

This grid a stinker x 10.

I've been here and there - the kids are keeping me busy and the tax season just started, so I am back to work.

1:07 pm

woot! got a 4/5 on my own!

lickety does protect me and defends me very well, but I feel for him cause it is his family and they think he is a bastard.... ergo, i must be b!tch

1:07 pm

damm I'm dumm -- can't find me rumm!

1:08 pm

Hi everyone! (((MRP))) at least Lickety loves you, and that's what is important.

1:08 pm

Need help with the CA 6/30 please

1:08 pm

hey LBD!

1:08 pm

1:08 pm

1:08 pm

TeaN do you have the co4/8 just before it?

sometimes, family sucks and that is too bad.

1:08 pm

Hello LBD:)

1:08 pm

mrp - my thoughts are with you - they sound extrememly ru**. {{{{mrp}}}}

1:08 pm

Taxes, argh. Quarterly taxes are due 1/15 and I might be short.

1:08 pm

STIDDY!! still have power I see.

1:08 pm

BBL - Dog to feed and more impportatly garden to water - as we are not expecting any rain for another 3 weeks! I can't miss watering

1:08 pm

Hi jean!

1:08 pm

ha. and another, a 4/8

just pay as much as you can, to offset any penalties.

1:08 pm

later lynxxx

1:08 pm

Hi dawger--I was thinking about you yesterday, wondering where you have been?

1:08 pm

fior

1:09 pm

fope

1:09 pm

yep, the winds finally died down midle of the night, now it's just wet. Normal, in other words

1:09 pm

Hey Scrabs! been working weird hours, too poop to chat much.

hi dawg :) hi stid :) sorry i didn't see some of you as i came in *waving*

1:09 pm

later lynxxx

just rain, Stiddy?

1:09 pm

bye lynxxx:) off radar for a mo bb in a mo

1:09 pm

jean, was that the chat equivalent of a blank look?

bye for now lynxx

1:10 pm

TNC--I have an overdraft account to help in these cases. Maybe I should have a cookie and brownie sale to raise extra $.

1:10 pm

lol

1:10 pm

MRP, no problem, you have a bit on your mind. I feel for you and the inlaws. I like mine...in the distance...like 5 states away! :-)

:)

1:11 pm

just rain Tea, we are only about 50 ft above mid-tide here ... but the hills around us will have snow I am sure. It's fairly warm near the sound, about 40

1:11 pm

Fresh pot of hot peppermint tea is ready. Who wants some?

yes dawg! that might just work out well for all of us! they are 300km away!

Some people think that if they can't pay all of it, then they won't pay any of it, and that's what hits them in the end!

1:11 pm

I will Scrabbler... *drops a quarter in the jar to help offset taxes*

I want tea! :)

1:11 pm

oooh tea would be nice, thank you Scrabs

1:11 pm

rofl... of course you do, and here are some crackers to go with it,.... *grin*

1:11 pm

Oh, no, TNC, I will write the check, but it may use up most of the paycheck that comes a few days later.

1:12 pm

wow. I have 11 words now! *zipping along*

1:12 pm

I rarely talk to my inlaws. Usually by accident, if i happen to answer the phone, which is a rarity.

Good, Stiddy. We lost power for about an hour last night. The kiddos had a tough time with it and we woke up to about 6 inches of snow. Thanks for the crackers - as if I don't have enough. :)

1:12 pm

ooh and a nice rich tea biscuit *goes to get biscuit tin*

1:12 pm

I work part-time, so that I can have a balanced life and not lose my mind, but then money gets tight sometimes.

scrab, do they penalise you for not paying it all at once?

1:13 pm

Slow down, Stid!

1:13 pm

I have a new method LBD. Don't answer the phone. Let it go to the answering machine, and then if it turns out to be someone you want to talk to, pick it up like you had to run in from outside...

1:13 pm

*removes the chocolate digestives before anyone can see*

1:13 pm

Oh, yes, MRP---penalties galore from the tax service, LOL!

1:13 pm

It works every time, btw... ;-)

that's what caller ID is for!

1:13 pm

im4/ 6?

1:14 pm

Oops. Trial words ended up in the wrong spot! Sorry to hear about your problems, mrp--I firmly believe that one should not tolerate nasty behavior from family. Obviously, there is a way to say things and a way not to, but it is important that people be given the responsibility for their own behavior. We've been using "Parenting Teens With Love & Logic" in our house--and I've found the principles from the book work at the office and with my spouse, as well. Much easier to get along with everyone now, and I'm no longer a doormat.

dawg, caller id will save me!

1:14 pm

but sometimes the calls come from the house (I alwasy pick up for mother's cellphone)...

1:14 pm

i don't have all that "fancy" stuff on the phone. i usually do let the machine catch the calls, except on sunday, when my dad and sisters call. occassionally the MIL will call when we least expect it.

1:14 pm

hello ATTY!

1:15 pm

Yippee for not being a doormat---that has been my approach at the office over the last few yrs.

1:15 pm

and bogster... (looking for an Im word now)

1:15 pm

right dinner is served, bbl hopefully Happy Babbling one and all:)

1:15 pm

bogster - it's a religious leader usually muslim

1:15 pm

later Jean

thanks ATTY. I won't tolerate it anymore and I have started reading Social Intelligence to help me not be the doormat either

1:15 pm

I have one of the 7's - anyone have any hints as to the other one? The one I have is related to how soldiers act

1:15 pm

hi bogster, hi atty

1:15 pm

oh -- the im 4/6 is the religious leader for a muslim group

1:16 pm

Can I get a clue for fo 4/7--I have the leg appendage one. Thanks!

1:16 pm

rasdan - it's the apex of your house

fi 4/8? please

1:16 pm

the im5 just add another vowel before the last letter of the im4

1:16 pm

I have a gray row on the right!

1:16 pm

fo4==what armies build for protection

1:16 pm

thanks for the im 5 bubba!

1:16 pm

1:17 pm

1:17 pm

1:18 pm

would you believe, JB, that my body has decided I shall go directly to silver and skip the gray entirely? LOL only problem is, against the dark hair the silver is REALLY noticeable!

1:18 pm

oh mrp... sorry bout the headache...

1:18 pm

hmm, I don't see any 7 letter words tat start with ro

1:18 pm

Stid, I believe every word you say!

1:18 pm

ac5/16...clue please?

1:19 pm

It's a compound word, Rasdan

1:19 pm

"Social Intelligence" is also a helpful book. "Parenting Teens" gave me practical approaches, though. A good therapist has also been a boon.

1:19 pm

rasdan -- what is on the house to keep the rain out? what is the peak of it?

it's a compund word, rasdan

1:19 pm

ras, i always thought the roo7 was two words, but not for enable.

1:19 pm

1:20 pm

Same for me, Stid, but my white/silver is spread out and looks OK, although the young chick (with tattoos and piercings) that cut my hair the other day seemed horrified. And she offered to work on my eyebrows but I declined.

1:20 pm

I am sure most of these aren't real words...

1:20 pm

thanks!

1:20 pm

woohoo - fireworks for me - any clues? i shall hang around for a few minutes while we wait for our chinese takeaway to arrive - yumyum!!

Mrp, "Parenting Teens" is by Jim Fay and Foster Cline. Mr. Fay was a school principal for decades and figured out some useful methods of dealing with kids/teens . Since most people still are kids inside, their approach works pretty well for almost everyone. Your local Borders or other bookstore should have it in stock.

LOL! stid!

All done now. Thanks, everyone!

1:28 pm

Isn't that just a silly word!

1:28 pm

most of them are silly

1:28 pm

Where, Nut?

1:29 pm

why shopping nut? I thought you bought out the town before christmas?

1:29 pm

for everyone else stid, but as my arse grows, i find it best to wear pants that fit

1:29 pm

well, the thrift store for one

1:29 pm

hmph. so that elliptical isn't doing its job!

1:29 pm

Don't you hate it when clothes shrink? Stupid dryer!

1:30 pm

maybe if the nut could stop shoving food in her face it would work

I am finally shrinking again now that the silly eat everything in sight season is over! I lost 2 kilos - 4 1/2 lb

1:31 pm

Good for you, M!

1:31 pm

*restrains self from kicking mrp*

I have another 2 kilo to go! I shovelled food!

1:31 pm

um, nutley? I have an idea... do you have full-spectrum bulbs in your lamps at home? I do. It doesn't just help the depression. Because I feel better during the winter I also move around a bit more automatically...

1:31 pm

wow mrp! well done.

oh nutty darling!! I love your big ass!!! my skinny skanky butt deserves kicking after the amount of food i consumed

1:32 pm

Is ro7 related to ro6?

1:32 pm

stid, i like the idea, but i've been moving into energy saving bulbs, guess they save people energy too?

1:32 pm

no, ro 7 is a compound 4 + 3

1:32 pm

yes, but ro7 is a compound word

1:33 pm

scrabbler, yes, first part is

1:33 pm

there are full-spectrum energy-saving bulbs also... that's what I use. grow lights work too...

1:33 pm

Got it--TY

what is full spectrum?

1:34 pm

wow. I am down to 24 words already. I suppose I could go use the list...

1:34 pm

i'll look for them when i'm out stid, i didn't know they had them in energy savers

1:34 pm

Suddenly I am on my last word!

1:34 pm

full spectrum lights have a good bit of the blue spectrum in them as well as the red-yellow of normal incandescents.

1:34 pm

go scrabs go!

1:34 pm

they let people like me who need sunlight for mood lifting survive the long winters in this latitude.

1:35 pm

go scrabbler!

ah! thanks, will go look for them too! mood lifting is a good thing

1:35 pm

hiya, just missing the af5 now, probably obvious but can anyone help.

3:38 pm

hi all, easy grid today,

having trouble changing my pic. Have uploaded & refreshed many times.

3:39 pm

what is it supposed to be?

A picture of my harp

3:39 pm

I see a harp

3:39 pm

bbl

3:39 pm

I see a beautiful harp

That is weird. On my screen it is still my Deerhound puppy

3:40 pm

maybe close babble and reopen it

3:40 pm

speak for yourself crpw ! 1st 55 were ok then i got stuck ... and Hi !

I tried rebooting, closing down and everything. Maybe tomorrow it will show

3:40 pm

that is weird

I uploaded it when Harpjane was on as we both play the harp and I wanted her to see it.

3:43 pm

Cam anyone clue co 5/14? It's my last one and I'm itching. (The harp is gorgeous.)

3:43 pm

ty sallyds, wish it would show up on my list.

3:45 pm

i had a hard time a couple days ago montreal, i think sometimes my brain just works better, so today was my day

3:45 pm

wd sally !

3:46 pm

'tis so crpw - we have our days...

3:47 pm

just checking

3:47 pm

checking what, peri?

3:47 pm

hi there peri !

3:48 pm

again

3:48 pm

advise needed please, for my granddaughter, do you think a cell phone for a 13 year old is bad?

3:48 pm

to see if my icon has changed and it has not

3:48 pm

will try again

me to Peri, mine has not changed either on my screen although others can see it

a couple of other babblers are finding that too peri, it might change later... did it accept the change?

3:49 pm

I personally do not think children of any age need a cell phone, until they can pay the bill. My personal opinion.

3:49 pm

my humble advice crpw: 13 is too young... even if most girls her age have one...

3:49 pm

well, I think it depends on the reason you want her to have one. I personally don't think she should have one just to have one but if there is a need then go for it

de5/20?

I believe a cell phone is important if you need to know where they are, depends on the reasons for it

3:49 pm

hello all

I love your beautiful flower Peri, I will miss it

3:50 pm

kind of coffee

3:50 pm

hi niamh

3:50 pm

doxy

3:50 pm

im 5, anyone?

3:50 pm

her parents say no, for reason of age, but i am so out of the loop for teenages, just wanted some outside advise

3:50 pm

my son is in all sorts of sports and sometimes I wish he had a cell phone so I won't worry as much when he's carpooling

3:50 pm

Hello doxy - the trouble is peer pressure. A 13 year old doesn't NEED a phone, but may feel completely out of it if she doesn't have one. I held out until 2nd daughter was 15 but I'm unusually cruel.

3:50 pm

he'll be 13 in August

3:50 pm

thanks montreal

3:50 pm

do you have the IM 4? if so add a U in the middle

3:51 pm

hoover, insert vowel before last letter of im4

mrachoover, in + 1st vowel + 4th vowel + double hump

3:51 pm

yes, thx to both of you!

3:51 pm

oh, I mean all three of you! great!

3:52 pm

:-) doxy, glad u got i t...

3:52 pm

We use a pay as you go plan and we pay for the minimum air time for our kids so they can get in touch with us (they are both in High School) oldest has gotten ito texting, she has to pay for that

3:52 pm

thanks for both i words!!

3:52 pm

well, i cant get her the phone (i think i do want her to have it for safety reasons) but sometimes my influence on my daughter and son-in-law does go a long way, so i needed some input before i say anything

3:52 pm

the youngest son wants a phone but we wont give him one; he is only in 7th grade

3:53 pm

Most parents buy phones for safety reasons, most children use them for social reasons.

3:53 pm

I think if it's a pay as you go plan then the child can do chores to earn money for minutes

3:53 pm

good point haz

3:54 pm

right on hazel

3:54 pm

pay as you go is a good thing

3:54 pm

there are phones that are only capable of calling certain pre-programed numbers... like home, mom, 911

3:54 pm

I have two daughters who could talk forever on phones. One is Olympic standard already.

3:54 pm

lol

3:55 pm

how's everyone today?

3:55 pm

if they "pay as they go", they might learn the value of money that way...

3:55 pm

i will let you all know how it turns out, her birthday is the 14th,

3:56 pm

hello LadyNatts!

3:56 pm

thank you very much for the input

3:56 pm

4:49 pm

wh00t

4:50 pm

I'm back - was printing stuff.

4:50 pm

thats bad considering today there are 3 Os in the grid ;)

4:50 pm

Have printers always been this annoying?

4:51 pm

.....Probably......

4:51 pm

Yes, Watch a Movie called "Office Space" ...That is a fax Machine, but the same princapal apllys.....

4:51 pm

It seems to me they're getting worse. The fancier they get, the more they protest.

4:52 pm

yes, but if it gets too bad, you could always take it to a field and beat it to death with a baseball bat

4:52 pm

People might talk.

4:52 pm

This is true Haz1559

4:52 pm

....Exactly icepyro....

4:53 pm

It's not even old.

4:53 pm

Tsh tsk, a bad workman (person) always blames their tools!

4:53 pm

Evening all

4:53 pm

Evening FM

4:54 pm

Hi dude :)

4:54 pm

howdy fm

4:54 pm

...*cough cough* Darth *cough cough*

4:55 pm

Hello FMitch - it's true.

4:55 pm

Oh dear sorry darth and hello icepyro. Guess Haz has gone to beat the printer up.

4:55 pm

It has redeemed itself and has printed what I wanted it to. It just seems to think about it a lot.

4:56 pm

Tis be okay FM.............

4:56 pm

I find it interesting that my printer at home is 8 years old and is only just now starting to mess up on occassion

4:56 pm

Nice to see you H. Im getting used to a new printer and the noises it makes as it goes about it's business.

4:57 pm

Exactly - if it's not thinking, it's making clunky noises.

4:57 pm

Wow, 8 years in printer years makes it about 105!

4:57 pm

hmm think ill take home the rubber restorer and see if I cant get it to work better with that

4:57 pm

I'd say the Antiques Roadshow might be showing an interest in that printer.

4:58 pm

ac 5/16 please

4:58 pm

Haha Haz1559

4:58 pm

It's obviously stood the test of time well - What make is it ice?

5:00 pm

ac5/16 - ac plus the start of plural rodent.

5:00 pm

ac + most of Mr Jagger's Christian name

5:00 pm

ty

5:00 pm

hp deskjet 812c .. I think its 8 years old.. I remember windows98se didnt need drivers cuz it was in the list...

5:01 pm

It frustrates me that newer machines are built to wear out or else they make spare parts so expensive that it's more cost-effective to buy new.

5:01 pm

Ah ... Tis the disposable society we live.

5:02 pm

in

5:03 pm

I know, but it's a pain.

5:03 pm

brb

5:03 pm

This printer is now flashing more lights than Blackpool Tower. I'd better investigate...

5:03 pm

Yup. well I only showed my face to say hello and good night so will see you tomorrow.

5:04 pm

Okay - good to see you - there were some exiles here this evening, Anj and Lola and Torgone. It was like the Twilight Zone.

5:04 pm

Thanks for the Mr. Jagger clue.....I just got it..thankers though.....

5:05 pm

Ice that is annoying but at least you get Babble

5:56 pm

That is a tad scary

5:56 pm

but I didn't abuse it

5:57 pm

Facebook hasn't really caught on around here to my knowledge

I use Livejournal and Facebook for games

5:57 pm

I prob would have never joined if it weren't for Scrabulous..but it's fun

5:58 pm

my MySpace page is probably growing mold by now, it's so neglected

5:59 pm

my myspace page has been neglected more since the much needed ban on this network, but i still check every couple weeks or so lol

ma5.14 = ma5 eisenhower or ma5 van doren. I only know it as a first name for a woman.

7:08 pm

The ca5 looks like a hole in the side of a mountain with an extra vowel in it.

7:09 pm

7:11 pm

HI Mom.. Nut you are supposed to be storing nuts right now or something

7:45 pm

Shhh, ruru. You get around to it when you get to it

7:45 pm

I doubt that :)

7:45 pm

Well, she's running late, that's for sure.

7:46 pm

no really, you see, for a year or more i'll be a packrat, then i have to go through and purge everything

7:46 pm

that seems to be the cycle of things, Nutty.

7:47 pm

Help with the O words on the left side, and the T words

7:47 pm

sorry Tijani, I don't have those either

7:47 pm

tij the opposite of "close the door"

7:47 pm

got this nice under bed container, trying to wrangle all of my shoes into it now

7:48 pm

well, duh? I can't believe I missed that. Thanks Ruru

7:48 pm

the other is like the character that Ron Howard played on the Andy Griffith show

7:49 pm

the other o word was about an op** piece in tonight's news...

7:49 pm

thanks Ruru and Moonwoof

7:49 pm

the other one is the past tense poetic form of the first one

7:49 pm

Nutty, I love those under the bed containers.

7:49 pm

same first three letters and a different cons. at the end

7:50 pm

You guys are making me envious of beds that dont lay On the floor =P

7:50 pm

Damn my nomadic lifestyle!

7:51 pm

I don't think I would like a bed that lays on the floor

7:51 pm

Over the years I've found that beds pack easier with out frames...

7:52 pm

do you move alot, Moonwoof?

7:52 pm

And they're as comfortable... they just dont have cool hidey places for shoe containers.

7:52 pm

About every 2 months or so, mom.

7:53 pm

wow. I wouldn't like that at all

7:53 pm

Last week we were in MN. Today I'm in balmy AZ

7:53 pm

honestly though, this amish framework, i need a stepladder to get into bed

7:53 pm

are you touring the country?

7:53 pm

lol Nutty

7:53 pm

My hubby likes those, too. I hate those. They make me feel like I'm like 3 years old with my feet a-swingin

7:54 pm

please need help not getting hopes up

7:54 pm

Hi Hurshy.

7:54 pm

Sort of, I guess. If touring can count for only going to 6 different states.

7:54 pm

it is at least something new, Moonwoof

7:55 pm

Ok, Hursy. It'll never work out. Don't get your hopes up.

7:55 pm

Ok, Hursy. It'll never work out. Don't get your hopes up.

7:55 pm

six states is like all i've ever been too...and canada

7:55 pm

that's what i thought.

7:56 pm

That's true, mom. It's not boring. But I do miss the hidey holes you get in real places to live.

7:57 pm

howdy, all...

7:57 pm

you don't have a regular place to live? I don't mean to be nosy

7:57 pm

Hi Pam

7:57 pm

I've been to all the states, except Hawaii, which I plan on fixing next year. But I only work in 7 states.

7:57 pm

ing Pam

7:57 pm

hi pam

7:58 pm

hi, moon, mom, hurshy, and all!

7:58 pm

Oh no. I kind of do. In MN. But I'm only there about 5 months out of the year.

7:58 pm

That Should have said "evening"

7:58 pm

I like Minnesota. I have been there twice.

7:58 pm

what is your job?

7:59 pm

Ok, on my nosy side... Why are we telling Hurshy it'll never work?

7:59 pm

I like it, too. When I'm there =)

7:59 pm

I make leather clothing and accessories like hats and purses.

8:00 pm

that is neat, Moonwoof

8:00 pm

because if hurshy gets her hopes up, they will be dashed later, and that would be bad. wow, that's neato moon.

8:00 pm

I have to have some place to keep all the stuff I collect travelling =)

8:00 pm

What wouldn't work, hursh?

8:01 pm

I have had many worse jobs. But as Mom pointed out everything has a down side. Like no cool under bed containers...

8:01 pm

well... i picked back up the book "what should i do with my life?" today, cause you know, my job, it's just a job, and the people are nice and all but, it would be cool to do something i cared more about, you know

8:02 pm

good morning all

8:02 pm

Hurshy, I have found that my hopes are rarely dashed if I plan in advance that they'll (my plans) go to heck. So good start, girly.

8:02 pm

okay, following you, hursh

8:02 pm

Hi, ardilla

8:02 pm

now, the other day i was seeing about jobs and real estate in iowa, on account of how cool the caucuses are

8:02 pm

does anyone have clues for ca6 & ca5 pls?

8:02 pm

but today i was like, ok, let's be a little more practical

8:03 pm

ca6 - related to an element used in some batteries

8:03 pm

I have an acquaintance who lives in Iowa and doesn't recommend it, LOL. (She's originally from NJ)

8:03 pm

ca5 - ooo, what a tweet widdle place to go spelunking

8:03 pm

I have friends there, too, and I intentionally go thru it all the time. It Really depends on what part of Iowa, hursh. Otherwise it's Boring.

8:04 pm

so i popped on the internet to see if there were any interesting sounding jobs being advertised

8:04 pm

lol on the ca5

8:04 pm

i mean being advertised here, in my current state.

8:04 pm

tyvm hursh! 4 to go!

8:04 pm

Hi Ardilla

8:04 pm

Ok. And you found something, I take it?

8:04 pm

oh, gotcha now, Hursh

8:05 pm

hi mom

8:05 pm

now you see my trouble is that i never do have a good idea of what i want to do, and everything that does sound possibly interesting i would generally have to go back to school for since my degree is so impractical, and i haven't any money for classes so i'd rather see if i could do something nice without that

8:06 pm

and, well, there was a job advertised for someone to teach skills to the visually impaired to help them live independently

8:06 pm

can't find the ca6 though I know the battery material...

8:06 pm

it's an adj pam

8:06 pm

That sounds interesting, hursh.

8:06 pm

thanks, got the adj!

8:07 pm

now i don't have a degree in visual rehabilitation therapy and whatnot that they said their ideal candidate would have, nor do i have any experience in such work

8:07 pm

ca + 4th letter + speak into the ***rophone

8:07 pm

thanks Ardilla

8:07 pm

have you called on it, yet, Hursh?

8:07 pm

but i mean, ok, let's say you're blind, it's not just about the practical stuff, right? it's the emotions and the psychology too

8:08 pm

Hey all! Anyone like to clue im5 or co5 for me?

8:08 pm

I think life experience has value, too, and that it always pays to apply

8:08 pm

Hi Gwenski

8:08 pm

so, i wrote my cover letter about how i have had to overcome an anxiety disorder to live on MY own and how i could relate, and how i have teaching experience, and how i am a quick learner

8:08 pm

I did 10 years of direct care with non-verbal developmentally disabled adults and I was an english/linguistics major...

8:08 pm

Sorry, Gwenski, I don't have either

8:09 pm

hey there

8:09 pm

sorry, gwen, don't have...

8:09 pm

back for the last 13

8:09 pm

hi, praise

8:09 pm

Hi Praise

8:09 pm

hi praise

8:09 pm

im5 - insert extra vowel in im4

8:10 pm

co5 made a small sound like a dove or a baby

8:10 pm

Evening Gwen and Praise.

8:10 pm

thanks Hurshy for the co5

8:10 pm

Thanks hurshy!

8:10 pm

thanks hursh for im5

8:11 pm

I think, hursh, you could save a little waiting by calling, first.

8:11 pm

so, well, i mean, it would really rock if i could get the job because other times when i have looked online i never see anything that interesting, and i would love to do something satisfying, you know?

8:11 pm

Then you wouldn't have time to get your hopes up. Although if they're open to it, it Does sound like it has potential.

8:11 pm

that makes good sense, hursh. I am so glad you are applying.

8:11 pm

i can't call, moon, it was a craigslist ad, there isn't any phone number listed, i just had to email my resume and cover letter.

8:12 pm

clue for um5 pretty pls?

8:12 pm

that is the hard thing, not knowing what kind of person will read your cover letter and how best to present your case

8:13 pm

and it even pays more than i make now! icing on the cake. that's what makes me so sure i won't even get a response.

8:13 pm

Ah. Well, I'll hope for you, then. But it sounds like it could go either way, pretty easy. What if, for instance, you need to teach them about bathrooms...

8:13 pm

it's too good of a thing to happen to me.

8:13 pm

i know about bathrooms! i use them every day!

8:14 pm

I wouldnt say that Hursh. I'd dwell on the bathroom angle.

8:14 pm

Right. You do. Ever let your boyfriend come into the bathroom with you?

8:14 pm

Or how are you going to teach a guy where to aim?

8:15 pm

i was married for 7 years, so i'm fairly comfortable with that sort of thing, actually, lol

8:15 pm

sorry i have no idea for the um5 word

8:15 pm

So you have an edge.

8:16 pm

but you know, besides the fact that it's Too Good, there is the fact that when i got my current job, i'd sent out, oh maybe 100 resumes, and got... 3 responses total i think?

8:16 pm

um5= an eskimo kayak

8:16 pm

so, my general sense about job hunting is, you get way more non-responses than responses.

8:16 pm

Hurshy... It's all how you market yourself. *I* should know.

8:17 pm

well i poured my heart into that cover letter - so i hope whoever reads it likes heart.

8:17 pm

no, no hoping. expect to hear nothing, that's the ticket.

8:17 pm

clue for the ro 7 please?

8:18 pm

up on the ro7 reindeer pause, out jumps good old santa claus

8:18 pm

I certainly hope they do, too!!!!!

8:18 pm

moonwoof, could you give me the 3rd letter pls?

8:18 pm

I rewrote my brothers resume to give him an idea about what I meant. His most recent experience I put "A personal therapist with an extensive yet limited pharmacutical repitoire." He's a bartender.

8:18 pm

thanks Hurshy

8:18 pm

hi babblers!

8:18 pm

Aren't those lyrics actually 'up on the house...'?

8:18 pm

lol moonwoof!!

8:18 pm

8:19 pm

oh well, does the trick, right gwenski? :)

8:19 pm

8:19 pm

The 3rd is an i

8:19 pm

hi ping

8:19 pm

8:19 pm

hi pam and mom!

8:19 pm

8:19 pm

8:19 pm

ardilla, um + * can see clearly now + what you use in the summer to stay cool

8:19 pm

Anyone need help before I sign off?

8:19 pm

congrats Peep

8:19 pm

hey ardilla!

8:19 pm

Hiya Ping

8:19 pm

congrats peep

8:20 pm

either ma5 pls? these last 3 are kicking my butt

8:20 pm

I'm a nubie, I still get very excited by the fireworks

8:20 pm

congrats, peep

8:20 pm

hello moonwoof!

8:20 pm

thanks for the um5!

8:20 pm

Well, it's true. It's all in the wording. But I'll hope good for you, in the mean time, Hursh.

8:20 pm

ma5 sprayed with ma4

8:20 pm

one ma5 is mrs. eisenhower

8:21 pm

ma5 related to the mob?

8:21 pm

used a pepper-type spray, ardilla

8:21 pm

ma5 = ma5 eisenhower or van doren

8:21 pm

i think we all still get excited by the fireworks

8:21 pm

other ma5 is ma + (fact or ***tion)

8:21 pm

and yet another ma5 = adj to do with the mob

8:22 pm

i had to talk to you guys about it because i can't talk to my family about it, because in the (most probable) event that i get no response, then they will be sad for me and that would just make me feel worse

8:22 pm

I wouldn't know, Ardilla, it has been so long since I had fireworks

8:22 pm

lol

8:22 pm

Heck even without fireworks I just get excited that I actually Finished something without getting distracted lol

8:22 pm

*blush* i have never gotten excited by fireworks. i think i'm too practical.

8:23 pm

that makes sense, hursh. Glad we can listen.

8:23 pm

um5 still escapes me

8:23 pm

Ok. Then I'll say it again, hursh. It'll never work. But IF it doesn't email me your resume and I'll rewrite it =)

8:23 pm

um + amnes*** (one who has forgotten)

8:23 pm

um + 3rd vowel + air conditioning

8:23 pm

Frantique ... um + 3rd vowel + what you turn on in the summer to stay cool

8:23 pm

um+ third vowel and what you turn on when the house is too hot

8:24 pm

um+man***

8:24 pm

what i need to focus on is that my life is ok at the moment, i can be content how things are, and someday i will do something different, even if it's not this.

8:24 pm

oh Peep, great clue lol :)

8:24 pm

great minds and so on

8:24 pm

Yay thanks for the UM word

8:24 pm

lol

8:24 pm

i think my resume is ok in terms of that sort of thing, bc i had a job placement agency person help me rework it during my last job search, this past spring.

8:25 pm

and, you can add to that focus that YOU are ok, hursh.

8:25 pm

Actually, Hurshy, if that's the case, then congrats. I know a lot of people who can't even be kinda content. Their lives are sucking. So good job, there.

8:25 pm

but thanks for the offer moon :) i'm not actively seeking another job exactly, i just saw this one and it appealed.

8:25 pm

I mostly meant if you needed a chuckle hurshy =P

8:26 pm

oh of course, how thick of me!

8:26 pm

well i have to work to be content, but when i try, i can manage it ok.

8:27 pm

And if you again, wanted to feel better about your life, when we got here 2 days ago I had no heat, no water, 6 dead scorpions 2 dead snakes and no furniture.

8:27 pm

thanks for um5!

8:27 pm

oh my gosh, Moonwoof

8:28 pm

glad you got it, Ardilla

8:28 pm

at least they were dead...

8:28 pm

Shh. Mom. I'm trying to cheer her up. I'm so used to this it took me a day to fix all that and another to make it pretty.

8:28 pm

YIKES .. dead snakes and dead scopions..HEY it could be worse .. the could be ALIVE eeeek

8:29 pm

YAH, fireworks! Finally!!!

8:29 pm

There was a live rat snake in NC last year. It was huge. But I was confident after they removed it that there were no mice.

8:29 pm

at least they are gone now.

8:29 pm

Congrats Ardilla

8:29 pm

woohoo go go go ardilla

8:29 pm

Congrats Ardilla

8:29 pm

wtg ardilla

8:29 pm

stops to wonder if the lack of heat and water is what kilt the snakes and scopios

8:29 pm

that is a positive outlook Moonwoof

8:30 pm

or perhaps they missed having a nice fluffy couch

8:30 pm

any clues needed before i go?

8:30 pm

Oh yeah. That's what the broom and the terrier are for. If they fail, I have a husband a cell phone and a credit card lol

8:32 pm

Uhm, no frant. So far as I could tell, 1 scorpion took out 3 of the scorpions and a snake and one couldnt get out of the tub, a spider I squished took out another and the last snake shouldnt have tried to get out thru the heater. That's what took out the heat.

8:32 pm

9:13 pm

no need to waste good ice on a hip, frozen peas will do

ty muse & dawg!

9:13 pm

Hi bubba218!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:14 pm

That's what we use for everything of that nature, Bubba.

9:14 pm

Thanks Min

9:14 pm

I did throw the bag out after one particular use, tho...

9:14 pm

Vodka or ice?

9:14 pm

frozen peas, actually!

9:15 pm

That's a good use for peas! (ewww, Krista!)

9:15 pm

That was a preemptive reaction, Krista, now we are waiting for the revelation of the actual use...

9:15 pm

Now,you dont even know what it was, JB

9:16 pm

I think that use might be too much information

9:16 pm

Oh, ok..since you sort of ASKED..1st husband's vasectomy!! (EWWWW is right)

9:16 pm

Tell us, tell us!

9:16 pm

I think Bubba was right.

9:16 pm

9:21 pm

lbdawger, I just got 301.7 & it took me forever. I do not think I'll beat your score tonight. I'll try it again tomorrow. I am giving up on it now. Not into it now.

9:21 pm

What game are you playing, Min?

9:21 pm

exactly what I was thinking Krista

9:21 pm

Glad you avoided the recent conversation here, Min. :)

9:22 pm

Do you play Scrabulous, Muse?

9:22 pm

yes Krista

9:22 pm

Bubba always causes commotion then leaves. ;)

9:22 pm

Krista I am playing "Whack the Penguin". Here is the link: http://n.ethz.ch/student/mkos/pinguin. Fun!

Night, Nonnie!

9:25 pm

Scrabulous is Scrabble you can play through that site (via email) or through Facebook, JB. I like it better through Facebook because it adds up points as you make the words.

9:25 pm

Goodbye NonnieLight! I'll see you tomorrow in the log

9:26 pm

what's your score lbd?

9:26 pm

The realy beauty of it is that you can play your moves when it's convenient. I used to try to do "live" games and it was a disaster.

9:26 pm

Oh, okay, thanks! I'll check them out tomorrow, just have 15 words to go here

9:27 pm

Goodnight everyone, going out for Indian Food, see you tomorrow

9:43 pm

Have you seen Spamalot then?

9:43 pm

9:44 pm

what??!!

9:44 pm

Clay??

9:44 pm

lol, he's a former contestant on American Idol

9:45 pm

i know who he is

9:45 pm

Back at keyboard...now, there are two things I would NEVER associate with each other: Clay Aiken and Spamalot!!!

9:45 pm

can't imagine him in Spamalot . . .

9:45 pm

me neither

9:46 pm

Who does he play, the prince who wants to sing?

9:46 pm

9:51 pm

Oh, and whoo hoo, the Steelers just scored!

9:52 pm

My husband is watching that game now too. He likes the Steelers, even though we live in NY. He does not like the Giants or the Jets.I don't care about football

9:53 pm

The Giants need to ditch Eli.

9:54 pm

My hubby is rooting for the Steelers also, though he's a big time Giant fan.

9:55 pm

9:55 pm

I need that one, too, Shirl!

9:56 pm

9:56 pm

Interception, Steelers!!!!!!!!!!

9:56 pm

Ah, got it! (the m word, not the interception)

9:57 pm

I have to cheer in the grid, because DH is already in bed and I don't want to disturb him

9:57 pm

Congratulations Shirlockc on finishing the grid! YAY!

9:58 pm

9:59 pm

JBs I yell at the TV to, but usually when politicians and/or idiots are in view.;)

9:59 pm

hi Jac

9:59 pm

Now that is different. Husband sleeping while wife is up watching football.That shows change of the times

9:59 pm

{{{Jac!!!}}}

9:59 pm

*too. I also yell out the answers during Who Wants To be A Millionnaire?'

9:59 pm

Hello Jacula! How are you? Haven't seen you in awhile

9:59 pm

hey jac :-)

10:00 pm

Yup, Min, but really, the game is an excuse to finish the grid (10 left)

10:00 pm

Hi, Min, JBs, Une... I've been around just not had time to chat much.

10:00 pm

Jac, I'm sure you're always right, too!

10:01 pm

Still trying to get my flickr pics back on here and still no idea what my 'user name' was!

10:01 pm

crosses arms

10:01 pm

tapping foot, muse?

10:01 pm

yep

10:01 pm

I use the same user name & password for everything

10:02 pm

Um, Jac, didja see muse over there?

10:02 pm

JBs - If I went on 'Millionnaire' (that spelling doesn't look right but it is 4.01am here!) I'd probably have a brain freeze and wouldn't even know my own name!

10:02 pm

sigh

10:03 pm

LOL, Jac! See, muse, it's not that Jac can see you-she's typing with her eyes closed!

10:03 pm

hmmm, see that James Earl Jones and Phylicia Rashad will be doing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in March

10:03 pm

Min - I know what my e-mail, password and username are for flickr and my pics are still there - but, somehow, the link in Babble got deleted and it won't seem to accept anything I try! I guess I'll have to give in and e-mail Dr_God for help later.

10:03 pm

nope, beginning 2/12/08

10:04 pm

Oh! Sorry muse! HELLO!

10:04 pm

Touchdown Steelers!!!! oops, sorry, I'll be quieter...

10:04 pm

lol, now I feel better, thanks JB

10:05 pm

hee, hee, you'd better give Jac a hug, muse!

10:05 pm

Mutual hug, muse, says she... sheepishly?

10:21 pm

Hello EIDubUC! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!

10:21 pm

Well, it's win or go home, muse, so every play is critical now

10:21 pm

thanks, must be out of it

10:22 pm

Not the faintest idea what you lot are talking about re the sport. LOL

10:22 pm

I know, but he's irritated

10:23 pm

Jac I would if I was watching it but I'm not, just get the audio version

10:23 pm

lol, muse, I hope he's editing it!

10:24 pm

Jac, American football, it's the playoffs to get to the Superbowl.

10:24 pm

Well, I have Sky so could watch it but won't as it doesn't interest me.

10:24 pm

Thanks for telling me what you're talking about though.

10:26 pm

It's getting exciting, though, Jac, because the home team is leading by one point, and the away team has to score on this possesion

10:27 pm

It could go either way at this point!

10:27 pm

I know what they are talking about,but really do not know what they're talking about. Really do not know anything about football&don't care to know about it.

10:27 pm

Well, good. I'll attend to my laundry for a while and come back to see if clues are needed soon. *grins*

10:27 pm

hi, watching playoff also, live in Cincy, so not a

10:27 pm

10:27 pm

steeler fan

10:28 pm

Don't take offence, btw. I'm just the same over British football matches.

10:28 pm

Was watching Dirty Dancing,but it's almost over now

10:28 pm

Oh, no offense at all, Jac! I like soccer too, but this is a different dynamic

10:28 pm

Dirty Dancing 2 was not so good, Min.

10:29 pm

I don't think I saw Dirty Dancing 2.I'm not really into sequels. Assume they won't be as good as first movie.

10:30 pm

Can't do anything with laundry yet; washing machine is still going into orbit on final spin cycle...

10:30 pm

Min - Don't bother, it wasn't.

10:30 pm

I need to do laundry too, but will wait until tomorrow

10:31 pm

Minver, I could teach you football in 22 words: a team has 4 tries to move the ball 10 yards. If they succeed, they get another 4 tries, until they score. That's what the whole game hangs on.

10:31 pm

I have all the ironing from washing of Christmas period (just before) and after to do. That will take up about 6 hours of later. I will commandeer the TV and watch all the stuff I've recorded on SKY+ recently.

10:32 pm

JBs - Do you have an offside rule in American football?

10:32 pm

hi again, everyone

10:32 pm

I'll go ahead and add 3 more words to football. Too Much Padding

10:32 pm

Hello ardilla! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:32 pm

Jac, I would just dampen it all, and toss it in the dryer for a few minutes, then hang it a little damp. I haven't ironed for 2 years!

10:32 pm

does anyone need any clues?

10:32 pm

hi ardilla

10:32 pm

yes

10:33 pm

Wb Ardilla And yes we have offsides

10:33 pm

I'm here to clue as well, but nobody seems to need'em

10:33 pm

hi min; i was on earlier and finally finished about 90 mins ago

10:33 pm

That's because you did such a good job earlier Minver =)

10:34 pm

Yes, Jac, but it applies to jumping over the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped rather than the runner getting the ball past the defenders

10:34 pm

what do you need, mymuse?

10:34 pm

Congratulations ardilla on finishing earlyGood for you

10:34 pm

JBs - that doesn't do it for me, I'm afraid (the non-ironing thing).

10:34 pm

tyvm, min

10:34 pm

Wish it did! I hate ironing!

10:34 pm

lol, ardilla I was saying yes to the offside rules

10:34 pm

No dryer?

10:35 pm

JBs - this is ours in UK (offside rule) - It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if: * he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent A player is not in an offside position if: * he is in his own half of the field of play * he is level with the second last opponent * he is level with the last two opponents Commiting an Offside Offence A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by: * interfering with play * interfering with an opponent * gaining an advantage by being in that position No Offence There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from: * a goal kick * a throw-in * a corner kick

10:35 pm

After they added "butt pads" to the safety equipment list, I quit paying attention to football.

10:35 pm

JBs - yes, I have a dryer.

10:35 pm

I hate ironing as well Jacula. That is why I don't do it!

10:35 pm

I think I need to go to the list to finish quickly, I still have a few more things to do, and it's almost midnight!

10:35 pm

Lol, Moonwoof!

10:36 pm

I agree with the damp hanging method of ironing.

10:36 pm

moon, lol, I thought butt pads were for curvier jeans!

10:36 pm

Min - I have to because I hate going out looking 'unpressed' and don't want my family to do that either.

10:36 pm

lol moon, my hubby says no way

10:36 pm

what is the list? Does it give clues or answers?

10:36 pm

are they called pampers for crying out loud....I'm quoting him

10:36 pm

uh oh, Jaguars won

10:37 pm

Hey,I can give them some padding off my big old butt

10:37 pm

Anyway, all that damp hanging stuff only works if you have the room to do it in.

10:37 pm

donna, it gives first 2 letters and point value of word

10:37 pm

Seriously, I used to be Really into football. And I could tell you which player just tackled who, by seeing their butt. But no, now they have butt pads to "protect" their tailbones...

10:37 pm

Dryer's beeped me. BBS.

10:37 pm

I say they're trying to impede my view.

10:37 pm

Hi donnana! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

10:38 pm

So I've boycotted football until they get rid of the diapers.

10:38 pm

hi donna

10:38 pm

is that just the Vikings then?

10:39 pm

Hi. Just found this game a few days ago.

10:39 pm

Donnana, I believe she was refering to Lickety's list, which has clues. You can find a link at the bottom of the page here

10:39 pm

(((((((((JB))))))))))) sorry Steelers lost

10:39 pm

ty

10:40 pm

Nope. I knew 4 major teams and several major players by their butts. Away and home uni's. Not just the Vikings.

10:40 pm

welcome to the madcap land of Babble....run for your life before you're hooked donna

10:40 pm

nuttttttttttttt

10:40 pm

Now that you mention it, tho, noone's had a butt like Jan Stenerood's in ForEVER.

10:40 pm

Why ty. =)

10:41 pm

If you started a few days ago,then those were really big grids to start with. Should be able to do this one.

10:41 pm

anyone have a sec to clue me in?

10:41 pm

hi Jill, on what?

10:41 pm

i cannot find the ro 7 at all

10:41 pm

Hello JillF! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

10:42 pm

An ro 7/44 word is where Santa may land is sleigh JillF

10:42 pm

thank you min

10:42 pm

Evening JillF

10:42 pm

yw

10:42 pm

evening all

10:42 pm

lol my hubby and son claim maybe they're just getting fatter, or you like guys in spandex, lol

10:42 pm

of course, min, of course...thanks

10:43 pm

yw

10:43 pm

Oh, man, my computer just crashed and burned, just like the Steelers! Probably someone was trying to intercept my firewall, ha!

10:43 pm

Sadly, no. I triple checked... There have always been chunky ones, but sadly there are pads now.

10:43 pm

LOL JBsAnno!Well at least you are still able to babble!

10:43 pm

you missed my (*((((((((JB))))))))))))) so instant replay....sorry the Steelers lost (((((((((JB)))))))

10:44 pm

Hmm. The Steelers took a digger again? How surprising.

10:44 pm

what a way to lose

10:44 pm

LMAO

10:45 pm

moon, if it actually did fall off, would you be able to recognize it? <sweet innocent grin>

10:45 pm

The only team with a worse track record is the Vikings so *I* should know. It pays to keep track of the "competition".

10:46 pm

No, now that you mention it. I havent had one in quite some time.

10:46 pm

Thanks, muse, sigh. Oh well, maybe the Eagles will make it next year.

10:46 pm

I'm happy to share, moon! (hmm, inadverdent pun, sorry!)

10:46 pm

I wanted one for Xmas, but Santa failed me again. That's why I watched Other people... To see if they had it.

10:47 pm

moonwoof, where in Minnesota do you live? I used to live there myself. I lived in Walker Minnesota.Do you know where that is?Haven't been back there in years

10:47 pm

Yes, donna, Lickety's list, see the Friends of Babble under the grid

10:48 pm

er uhm you wanted a butt for Xmas?

10:48 pm

Walker sounds familiar... but I'm not sure if I remember right where that is. I live all over the state, really. Bloomington Stillwater South Saint Paul and Duluth depending on the month.

10:48 pm

Yup. I wanted a butt. Preferably my butt, but I would have settled for JLo's...

10:48 pm

*whispers* sounded like that to me, too, muse!

10:49 pm

*nudges muse* Yup!

10:49 pm

It should have. It's what I meant!

10:50 pm

CA6/30 PLEASE ANY ONE

10:50 pm

sorry about caps

10:50 pm

lol that makes me think of the youtube vid showing everyone in an elevator with "farting" sounds and it turns out to be ringtones

10:50 pm

I have a really high metabolism, and my body eats itself if I dont eat enuf. I lost my butt 3 years ago when I got a stomach flu for a week. Haven't found it, yet.

10:50 pm

ca6 = ca + failing grade + ***k Jagger

10:51 pm

Does anybody have an HP Pavilion dv6324?I have one and I have to send it back to HP for two weeks for a recall. Wireless does not work on computer anymore.

10:51 pm

lol, muse, I haven't seen that one!

10:51 pm

ca6/30 is first three letters of ca4/6 plus 3 blind ***e

10:52 pm

Nice. Anyone who makes that a ringtone, tho, is asking for a date to go terribly wrong.

10:52 pm

not a lot of info on licketys list

10:52 pm

thank you mymuse

10:53 pm

More than none, tho, donnana. It puts them in alpabetically, and that's a pretty big clue alone.

10:53 pm

i need some help with the ca 5,16

10:53 pm

Lickety's List is useful.I would never finish without it

10:53 pm

It also gives the first two letters and point values which are clues in and of themselves.

10:53 pm

ty moon

10:54 pm

A ca5/18 word rhymes with D**** Crockett brendiboo

10:54 pm

I dont have a ca5.16...

10:54 pm

ah. ty Minver.

10:55 pm

sorry people i meant that to be the ac 5,16 i think i should concentrate more

10:55 pm

if you want JB I can forward it to you, my brother sent it to me

10:55 pm

Hello brendiboo! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

10:55 pm

The ac5/16 word is ac plus three blind ***e brendiboo

10:55 pm

I open the file with VLC media player, you can download it for free from the net

10:55 pm

i am not holding out any hopes of finishing this one

10:56 pm

I'm back. What have you all been up to?

10:56 pm

I am here to help with clues brendiboo if you need'em

10:56 pm

woo hoo i got it

10:56 pm

We talked alot about butts and ca6 while you were gone. You didnt miss much Jac.

10:56 pm

thanks, muse, send to to my Babble name at yahoo dot com

10:57 pm

LOL, moon. Okay.

10:57 pm

i need co4,8 and co 6,33

10:57 pm

Does anybody have an HP Pavilion dv6324?I have one and I have to send it back to HP for two weeks for a recall. Wireless does not work on computer anymore.

10:58 pm

Is that a PC or a printer, Min? Either, the answer is, 'No.'

10:58 pm

co 4/8 is co + not **s ands or buts and the past tense

10:58 pm

any help for my last two? I am stumped on the im5 and the um5. anyone care to put me out of my misery?

10:58 pm

There are 3 co4.8's brendi, if you could narrow that down??

10:58 pm

im5/16 is im plus 2 vowels plus double hump letter JillF

10:58 pm

i need the second co4,8

10:58 pm

ahhh, the soothing sight of fireworks at last!

10:58 pm

co4/8 & past tense 6/33 have to do with hairdo's.

10:58 pm

um5 = um + personal pronoun + air conditioning

10:59 pm

Thanks for all the clues tonight - it's been a lot of fun!

10:59 pm

the 2nd co4.8 is a hairdo

10:59 pm

um 5/16 is um plus someone who does not remember anything is an amnes*** JillF.

10:59 pm

Congrats JB

10:59 pm

co4.8 (2nd) = co + Rudyard Kipling poem (famous one).

10:59 pm

Congratulations JBsAnno on fireworks! Good for you!

11:00 pm

Well done, JBs.

11:00 pm

Jac, isnt that the 3rd co4.8?

11:00 pm

co 4/8 is co + no **s ands or buts and the past tense.

11:00 pm

moon - No, it's the 2nd.

11:01 pm

he did a poem about hairdo's??

11:01 pm

And off to bed! Good night, all, thanks again, and see you all on the chog (Krista's word) soon! *poof*

11:01 pm

The 3rd co4/8 is c + the sound someone makes when being thumped!

11:01 pm

Night JB

11:01 pm

No, Moon! LOL. He questioned things in his poem.

11:02 pm

Goodbye JBsAnno!I will see you tomorrow in the chog

11:02 pm

thanks min, for those...still cannot figure the im! tough word

11:02 pm

I have past tense of buy, hairdo, and what I would associate with kipling...

11:03 pm

Huh. Ok.

11:03 pm

Incidentally, the third co4/8 rhymes with the po4/8 JBs just typed as she left.

11:03 pm

Im5= im + 2 vowels + the double hump letter Jill

11:03 pm

did it, thanks so much for cluing you folks. crazy words! need to remember them all for my scrabble games when i have too many vowels

11:04 pm

Right. That's My third. But I swear he never did a poem about hairdos.

11:04 pm

17 to go

11:04 pm

great moon, thanks so much

11:04 pm

i need the da4,8

11:04 pm

np

11:05 pm

da4/8 is a very silly word! (That's a clue, btw.)

11:05 pm

brendi, it means dumb

11:05 pm

It means silly =P

11:05 pm

It's also part of a punk bands name.

11:06 pm

i feel this way playing this game sometimes...sounds like something you would float on but with a d instead of an r

11:07 pm

Here in UK dumb used to mean someone who could not speak, not someone who was silly or da4.8. However, with the US influence over the years it also has that meaning here as well as the former one.

11:07 pm

da4/8 (silly) adds a bit to the other end of a boat (not the fore)

11:07 pm

Really? I've never heard that words used to mean dumb... only silly. Dern word screweruppers.

11:08 pm

da 4/8 rhymes with what Huck Finn used to travel on

11:09 pm

i must be real whatever that da word is as i still cant get it

11:09 pm

or d + the back end of a ship.

11:09 pm

Fore + a** of a ship

11:10 pm

oh boy i finally got it ha ha

11:10 pm

da + the pink paper in UK that is a 'financial index. (Short term for the paper.)

11:10 pm

That is a fine example, brendi of why the point values are clues.

11:11 pm

Ok I sent Lickety the ringtone file, hopefully he has no problem in getting it.

11:11 pm

Did lickety want it? I though JB wanted it...

11:12 pm

Or is he where we would send video links for Expert?

11:12 pm

i am stuck on the de 5,20

11:12 pm

He's the one to send the links to for Babble Expert. It's not youtube, and I can't get the site, so I just forwarded it to him.

11:13 pm

de5/20 is the type of coffee that won't keep you awake.

11:13 pm

Maybe that's because you need real coffee, no de5.20

11:13 pm

Cool. I was wondering. I have a smack ton of stuff if he wanted to pick thru...

11:13 pm

ahhhhh got it thanks

11:14 pm

he's definitely looking for things to add.

11:14 pm

Any more clues needed?

11:14 pm

um?

11:14 pm

I have tons. I guess i should sort out the naughty funny ones, tho.

11:15 pm

i need the fa 5,20 i seem to be struggling now

11:15 pm

um is an eskimo kayak. =)

11:15 pm

um is an eskimo kayak. =) Evening upsidedown

11:15 pm

fa5/20 is the past tense of the fa4/8 (thing on the front of your head) before it.

11:16 pm

past tense of the fa4 in front of it.

11:16 pm

thanks i seem to be missing the easy ones

11:16 pm

last word mi5/6 any clue please

11:17 pm

have tried every combo but the right one

11:17 pm

mi4.6 = a soft stone. Your counter is formi**

11:18 pm

thanx moon... and hiya

11:18 pm

oops i mean the other one have that one

11:18 pm

mi4/6 - another word for isinglass (wine additive).

11:18 pm

There is no mi5 word, btw.

11:18 pm

mi4/5 i meant sorry

11:19 pm

mi4.5 is an anagram of "not yours, it's MI**!"

11:19 pm

mi4.5 is what moon said and means your demeanour.

11:19 pm

thank you for that, it got me firewrks

11:20 pm

Congrats rlee

11:20 pm

Well done, Rlee.

11:20 pm

11:22 pm

Congratulations Rlee on your fireworks! Good for you

11:23 pm

Hello umopapisdn! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

11:23 pm

Awww. umo, that's terrible. lol

11:23 pm

did some one say before that there had been a upgrade to the game ?

11:23 pm

Top n = ne + that Rudyard Kipling poem again.

11:24 pm

that ne4.7 = ne + "no **s ands or buts"

11:24 pm

No recen upgrade that I know of, Rlee.

11:24 pm

No, rlee. Lickety is working on an upgrade to Babble Expert.

11:24 pm

fireworks

11:24 pm

Who pinched my 't' pff recent? Own up now!

11:24 pm

expert ?

11:25 pm

Well done, umo.

11:25 pm

11:25 pm

BBS. Last lot of laundry to see to.

11:25 pm

Congrats Umo!

11:26 pm

it keeps jumping from 1min to 35?

11:26 pm

OMG - what kind of eNGLISH IS that?? GRATS umO. lol.

11:26 pm

Hello all

11:26 pm

Ruru's monkey did it, Jac.

11:26 pm

wb Jilli

11:26 pm

sorry i guess i [lay wow to much :(

11:27 pm

It's okay, I have a houseful of 20-somethings myself and do know really, but, I mean, all this text speak is hardly The Queen's English!

11:28 pm

Hi jilli (proper English speaker). BBS, got to see to laundry.xx

11:28 pm

2 tru, jac, lol

11:28 pm

Like Enable uses the Queen's english. pfffffT

11:28 pm

Cya Jac.

11:29 pm

Congratulations umopapisdn on fireworks!Good for U

11:29 pm

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

11:30 pm

Don't you start with that, jilli!

11:30 pm

sorry about the english will keep quiet in future.

11:30 pm

I'm fascinated by the ABC NH debate

11:30 pm

If u do that I'll cul*r, jilli!

11:31 pm

cul8tr, LOL.

11:31 pm

Rlee, dont even worry about it. We ALL typo... just wait and see how many people type "firewords"

11:31 pm

moon - firewords is a deliberate mistake.

11:32 pm

But hardly Queen-like LOL

11:32 pm

hehe

11:32 pm

Unless that's a new word this year?

11:32 pm

Thought people did that on purpose! The D isn't next to the K on the keyboard. I think "firewords" should be accepted in Babble now since so many use it here.

11:33 pm

Hey you 'oldies' do you think the 'newbies' have got our gist now? *grins*

11:34 pm

People do do it on purpose. If I had been typing properly, that sentence would have had one period and the next sentence would have "on purpose" on the end of it. =P

11:34 pm

Oh, and jilli, where was my Christmas card?? I hope I'm getting a snailmail letter from you!

11:34 pm

I still consider myself to be a newbie since I'm not an expert at this yet. Plus I came here only 2 years ago.

11:35 pm

omg... slinks back into the been here for a month background...

11:35 pm

Good evening all!

11:35 pm

Evening Woulf!

11:35 pm

hi Woulf!

11:35 pm

H\ello GreyWoulf! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

11:35 pm

moon - pleae don't call a full stop a period when I'm here. A period here in UK is either a unit of time or a woman's monthly 'visitor'.

11:36 pm

Hello GreyWoulf! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

11:36 pm

Hi Wolfie!

11:36 pm

The D and the K, if you've taken a typing course, are used by the same finger on the right or left hand, so are easy to interchange mistakenly, and that's what happened the first time, I understand. Then firewords seemed wonderfully appropriate so it stuck

*drags moonwoof back into the light* Don't let anyone make you doubt yourself, moon -- we love everyone who chooses to babble no matter how recent they are to join the family

11:37 pm
