Beatrix Potter was my daughter's favorite author as a child. I would love to see that movie.

been stuck at 128 for a while now

12:37 am

volley didnt do well in the theaters i think it was kind of artesy but i wanted to see it too

12:38 am

Maybe typing faster??

12:38 am

ciboulet are you around?

12:38 am

128??? sheesh i only have 58

it is a wonderful movie - and not only for kids. i did not realize Miss Potter purchased tracts of the Lake District to be preserved as natural area for the people of England

wonder if it is at netflix... you think the movie name is Miss Potter?

12:39 am

volley yes that is the title

12:39 am

really melon?

yes, it's Miss Potter. it has just a little bit of animation; Miss Potter's drawings come alive for her - very subtle, tho

12:40 am

melon did you seeing finding neverland?

yes, MLFAN. Beatrix potter's life story was inspiring for her independence. She became very wealthy through her work, and used it wisely.

12:40 am

Well, I've restarted and see that I've been repeating myself -- sorry -- but my version had stalled and nothing was showing up in chat. Okay now!

no, but i should go add it to my Blockbuster list.

1:02 am

I have found some Hilarious stuff "stumbling"

1:02 am

Cya Frannie.

1:02 am

how do i find it on that site

1:03 am

I dont think you really "find" stuff on the site, Dax... But you should ask Fran when she gets back to know for sure.

1:04 am

Part of the point of stumbling is that it's random.

1:04 am

hehe

1:04 am

that makes sense

1:04 am

The really nice part,tho, is that the site only has other sites that people have found to be cool.

1:04 am

fireworks

1:04 am

download the mozilla addon, create an account stating your interests then you can stumble and only see the things you have listed as liking

1:05 am

Congrats Flosey! Me, too

1:05 am

Congrats Flosey!

1:05 am

1:06 am

1:06 am

1:06 am

I noticed they want you to "join"

1:06 am

stumble is free jilli

1:07 am

They do... But they havent sent me anything that i can tell... But they need to set up a profile so you dont see things you Dont want to.

1:07 am

you join so that your interests are recorded, then you only see sites related to those interests

1:07 am

i have fl 5 X 2 what am i missing/

1:07 am

I'm having trouble when I click on an icon -- the picture stalls

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085244/

1:15 am

He's listed right after Glenn close in the credits.

1:15 am

i believe ruru meant he wasn't great in it

1:15 am

sheesh Ruru, can't we just look at Jeff Goldblum, does he have to be a great actor ALL the time?

1:15 am

not that he wasn't in it

1:15 am

Oh. Well Phht

1:15 am

well he's kinda geeky looking

1:15 am

1:19 am

My chat was stalled since 11:05 babbletime! Had to restart again. Why???

1:19 am

oh oh

1:19 am

And I really dont think I could get That with someone who has no humor.

1:19 am

Awww. Dunno jilli. Is it ok, now?

1:19 am

were you typing too fast jilli?

1:20 am

lol

1:20 am

hey jill!

1:20 am

I had to restart twice today.. very frustrating

1:20 am

If they had no humor it'd really suck when I Whipped out my tutu again lol

1:21 am

No, fran -- maybe it's connected with my trying to click on icons which refuse to show up

1:21 am

that could be it jilli

1:21 am

Seems possible, jilli.

1:21 am

No they would just think you are ...um.. who is that singer from Iceland?

1:21 am

Bjork?

1:21 am

frustrating

1:22 am

ruru, did anyone tell you which F you were missing?

1:22 am

I doubt That ruru. *I* am way more cute than Bjork

1:22 am

i thought bjork dressed like a swan

1:22 am

and the tutu was that other actress

1:22 am

she's cute .

1:22 am

I think I can sing better too... But that's my opinion lol

1:22 am

in a geeky kinda way

1:22 am

she just got in trouble for attacking photographers again

1:22 am

same year though

1:22 am

Yes, ruru. But *I* am cuter!

1:22 am

see, I just tried again and everything has sloooowwwed dooowwwn

1:22 am

bjork?

1:22 am

the tutu was lara flynn boyle

1:22 am

poor jill!

1:23 am

good memory, fran

1:23 am

did you take any valium jilli?

1:23 am

Then I would say that's it jilli

1:23 am

restarting again...

1:23 am

LOL ru

1:23 am

I had forgotten about that Fran. and I think you're right.

1:23 am

i like bjork a lot

1:23 am

I saw Richard SImmons on TV with a tutu

1:24 am

this is such a strange log

1:24 am

Tutus must be back in style

1:24 am

I dated a guy once that could Not wrap his brain around the fact that when people ask me my favorite color I say "plaid". I had to break up with him.

1:24 am

i have the SugarCubes in my iTunes

1:24 am

ROFL

1:24 am

Ok, ru. I Definately have That beat.

1:24 am

morning all!

1:24 am

Good Grief! My first 8 words I tried here weren't words tonight! I'm either tired or out of practice! Hi Everybody!)

1:24 am

hey sprite!

1:24 am

good call moon!

1:24 am

hi sprite!!

1:24 am

Morning Sprite =)

1:24 am

hi nef!!

1:25 am

hi nef!

1:25 am

Hiya Nef

1:25 am

but yeah, medulla was a good album

1:25 am

yay, nice crowd :)

1:26 am

sprite, do you think Jeff Goldblum is attractive?

1:26 am

HAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHA

1:26 am

I've never quite been able to get into Bjork... I adore her accent, but then she warbles and I lose it.

1:27 am

Fran: yes

1:27 am

i'm really into singers doing weird things with their voices. i'm a huge regina spektor fan

1:27 am

okay, good.

1:27 am

and she's been known to give the microphone raspberries

1:27 am

Ha! that's 5 votes For ruru. You might get ganged up on, 2nite!

1:27 am

independence day... love him

1:27 am

that was a good answer, sprite. otherwise, things might not have turned out well

1:27 am

jeff goldblum has connections

1:28 am

I'm actually all for "voice as an instrument"... But when she does that warble thing it's goosebump time in a bad way. =(

1:28 am

Hi Fran, blueruin, moonwolf and all. I'm slowly getting my computer back in order; but I don't have much time for babbling these days.

1:28 am

Sorry And Glad to hear Nef. Good luck getting it all back.

1:29 am

well, you're doing much more important things Nef. but it's good to see you today. :-)

1:29 am

why is that, blue?

1:29 am

Well.. moon.. if we use that logic .. why are the Rolling Stones still on tour?

1:29 am

i totally get that, moon. some sounds just aren't pleasent. there's some shrill stuff regina does that i don't like, for instance

1:29 am

that's a thought. i love bob dylan and his voice is horrible

1:29 am

I can talk about Richard Thompson or Tom Waits or KD Lang for that ruin, but it's just not Bjork for me.

1:30 am

sprite - i have no idea but the thought of a jeff goldblum mafia makes me giggle

1:30 am

it would be a bunch of geeks in suits, with dinosaur cufflinks

1:30 am

Because Kieth Richards is a fascinating scientific specimen and it's the only way we can get Britain to share =P

1:30 am

hm... too soft for that?

1:30 am

lololol

1:30 am

well, moon, i'm not a fan of tom waits at all. </sarcasm>

1:31 am

I love Tom Waits

1:31 am

me toooooooo

1:31 am

the Rolling Stones are still around because videos didn't come out until they were well established.

1:31 am

THe Piano sssssssss beeen drinkin'.....not me........

1:32 am

1:34 am

1:34 am

1:39 am

1:40 am

nite Jilli! Evening MrP

1:40 am

1:40 am

Ok, Jilli... Now dont open anything... Just tell us what you wanna see and we'll email it ;)

1:41 am

hi sprite -- yes, working now but I don't dare try to click on icons -- that seems to have stalled everything

1:41 am

what moonwoof said

1:41 am

woof, I just tried to see your icon -- is it a stamp?

1:41 am

*hugs jilli* computers are SO lame if they don't do what we want them to :)

1:42 am

We'd Hate to lose you again. Ask sprite... her's does that too.

1:42 am

i totally agree sprite

1:42 am

It is. It's McGruff the Crime Dog stamp from when I was a kid... What's your email?

1:42 am

and what is flosey's? I DO enjoy the icons!

1:42 am

mine simply refuses to open the profiles or the entire chatlog, lol. Not even lickety knows how to solve it.

1:43 am

Nm, jilli, I got it.

1:43 am

blue, if that one link made you hungry, don't look at this website: http://www.tastespotting.com/

1:43 am

I had Year of the Rat stamp for today, changed and now showing game before the age of computers - what else jilli - Bridge

1:43 am

don't bother, woof -- but my email is in my profile at the bottom

1:43 am

sprite -- you had a major problem with your computer and had to reload it, didn't you?

1:43 am

Hi Sprite!

1:43 am

lolllll flosey! Of course, what else.

1:44 am

you just HAD to send that, didn't you fran

1:44 am

hi lynxxx! *hug* How are you doing?

1:44 am

Floseys gonna have to do her own... Cause for me her profile has a bridge Icon lol

1:44 am

well, i did tell you not to look. *grins evilly*

1:44 am

jilli, yes, I had windows reinstalled, and IE. And now I cannot open the profiles in babble anymore.

1:44 am

good thanks Sprite - DrG feeling kindly tonite

1:45 am

flosey, you're ahead of yourself again!

1:45 am

you sure Jilli? It's all set to go if ya want it. =)

1:45 am

sprite, what if you tried using firefox instead of IE?

1:45 am

those frying pans are weird, fran

1:45 am

not really jilli - did have the stamp - 2008 Year of the Rat stamp

1:45 am

won't make any difference for the babble expert, jilli.

1:46 am

That's the one for this grid, flosey

1:46 am

okay, this site has food, but only used as art: http://bentobjects.blogspot.com/ very cool

1:46 am

i've wondered why babble expert wasn't done in firefox

1:46 am

changed icon after I finished this puzzle - busy day tomorrow and we'll be late starting too

1:46 am

you mean egg molds blue? funny, i have the perfect person to give those to. :-)

1:46 am

Since when is That cool?? food that's Only art sort of defeats pretty food doesnt it?

1:47 am

I was able to open the profile but the picture wouldn't show, then chat stalled. Weird.

1:47 am

oh wow that's fantastic fran

1:47 am

well, i was going to say the site wasn't about food, but then the first image has food in it. i didn't want blue to think i was tormenting her

1:47 am

That's like the "food" they make for commercials and stuff... you look at it and droooolll and then they tell ya it's foam. Blech

1:47 am

it think making this run on firefox would take a whole series of testing etc.

1:47 am

ok, flosey, lol! Just wish I'd been able to see the year of the rat stamp!

1:48 am

What if I Wanted a cheeseburger the size of my bed??

1:48 am

POOR CHEESE DOODLE

1:48 am

you could lie down on it and eat around you, woof

1:48 am

just for you Jilli - back in a minute

1:48 am

sprite - it definitely would, i just wonder why he chose to do it in ie to begin with. you'd have to put in a lot of work either way i'm sure

1:48 am

Exactly... and there are some days where that would be So perfect.

1:48 am

i'm sure everyone's felt like a cheese doodle at some time in their life

1:49 am

sprite, I'm going to email my icon and its story to you.

1:49 am

phantom word: siesta

1:49 am

I don't know, ruin, you would have to ask him. Perhaps he knows IE best?

1:49 am

Here it is Jilli

1:49 am

ooh, good one ruru

1:49 am

probably

1:49 am

I'd guess, blue, that since IE comes standard (i.e. everyone Has it) it makes sense.

1:49 am

jilli, I love you to bits. Thank you so much!

1:49 am

also detested

1:50 am

yeah, i suppose. i guess the reason i wonder is because firefox is opensource

1:50 am

i thought that would make it easier

1:50 am

i am going to have to have this conversation with lickety later

1:50 am

oooooooooppppppppps

1:50 am

LOL ruru. You sound So negative, sometimes. I love that about you. It's refreshing.

1:50 am

sounds like a plan, ruin :)

1:50 am

lol Ruru

1:50 am

ooh, i'm having deja vu right now

1:51 am

didn't see it

1:51 am

*kicks ruru lovingly in the butt*

1:51 am

Uhhuh LOL

1:51 am

fran, the poor cheese doodle

1:51 am

Pass me the valium

1:51 am

or does ruru say oops every night?

1:51 am

i know blue!

1:51 am

1:51 am

now I'm really off to bed, goodnight all

1:51 am

1:54 am

Yup, Sprite. No U.

1:54 am

MR. Wonderful.. that's me

twittering is kinda frisky

2:01 am

Ok... that was less a hiccup and more a really obnoxious beelch.

2:01 am

You know ruru. Ya got a point. It Does sound frisky. WAY more than "wine"...

2:02 am

because of LOL Cats there are people everywhere that think "eated" is a real word.

2:02 am

oh no! not frisky STILL

2:02 am

Frisky wining is still giving me some hinks.

2:02 am

But I draw the line at drinking Fran. Well.... only as a vampire I won't.

2:02 am

we have long running gags here

2:03 am

I love inside gags. Can't help it. They always make me smile.

2:03 am

Memories like Pacyderms we have. We trade that for the ability to spell "normal" english.

2:04 am

yeah... define normal english please :D

2:04 am

um... like George Bush's?

2:04 am

Ok... _altho_ *I* happen to know that you _mite_ giggle... I'll tri

2:04 am

japanese slipper(s) alert

2:05 am

naneo ya te slippers

2:05 am

did ruru just link the word normal to Bush?

2:05 am

I think he tried. But that sorta thing is why I can't call him Mr lol

2:06 am

ah, I couldn't because I feel too close to him, lol. But now I understand.

2:06 am

He he got his Mom on the one dollar bill didn't he?

2:06 am

OMG. Can you even Imagine how bad enable would be if Dubya wrote it??

2:07 am

omg nnoooooooooo

2:07 am

All the grids would be a twitter

2:07 am

I'm just not sure I'm ready for grids with potatoEs

2:07 am

that was quayle my dear

2:08 am

Hmmm. Might be more girls here if we could get the grid On Jeff Goldblum

2:08 am

isn't that a kind of bird? A Quaile?

2:08 am

(Shh ruru) My Pacyderm doesnt care.

2:08 am

thought I smelled peanuts

2:08 am

Or a politician, Sprite. We have both kinds of parrots, here

2:09 am

aha... same difference

2:09 am

Dan Quayle set the stage for dufuses like GW to get in office

2:09 am

that's probably true ruru

2:10 am

*I* prefer to think he paved the way for the Sound Byte bloopers to make it on the news... But I'm an optimist.

2:10 am

well, at second thought... I should not insult parrots like this.

2:10 am

awwwwwwwwkk

2:10 am

Actually, Sprite, I mostly meant he mimicked well lol

2:11 am

lol woof, I know.

2:12 am

dutch or german for horny does not work :(

2:12 am

That sucks. I thought we had atwitter grid.

2:12 am

yup. Looks like enable can only be horny in english.

2:13 am

does anyone have a clue for the T at the top? i think someone said tr7. does anyone know how many points?

2:13 am

But on second thought I'm not seeing Jeff, either.

2:13 am

2:16 am

hi sunny!

2:16 am

2:16 am

2:16 am

Sprite - you would probably find this on a yacht

2:17 am

or... when i took boating in school, i got to tr7 for the first time

2:17 am

ok, better get my mind into creative setting...

2:17 am

Mahn, Frannie, that musta been a Nice school lol

2:18 am

They didnt even want to buy us Kickballs...

2:18 am

Ah well. You can take the girl outta the trash...

2:18 am

I am sure of the first part

2:18 am

it was college moon and the class was taught in conjunction with red cross and coast guard so we got certified.

2:19 am

always knew you were certifiable, Fran....

2:19 am

sorry Fran, couldn't resist the joke...

2:19 am

the last part, Sprite is the first part of a famous Christopher Cross song showcased on Southpark...

2:19 am

second part (4 letters) is on a boat sprite.

2:19 am

now don't start me on that, woof!

2:19 am

TY Moon.

2:24 am

this grid has about 367 words, but only 132 are valid.

2:25 am

I got to take today off to do some shopping as I finished my work project for the week. It only turned out OK, but it's done and can be improved.

2:25 am

have you ever found a word just from thinking it should be there and then tried to figure out how it was there and getting confused?

2:25 am

The shopping was Fun.

2:25 am

happens to me almost every day, Fran.

2:25 am

I havent done that in a while...

2:25 am

yayyyy woof! Lovely!

2:25 am

oh good, thought it was just me

2:26 am

you'd be cooler if you said yes moon.

2:26 am

:-)

2:26 am

Yes, Fran. All the time. Sometimes it gets to the point where all I can think is "ok... it has These letters. I dont care How it works."

2:26 am

when woof says a while, it might mean 5 minutes though, Fran

2:26 am

I meant I hadn't shopped in a while you Goof lol

2:26 am

Sprite has a point, tho...

2:27 am

*whistles a tune and looks totally innocent*

2:27 am

lol, yeah, i figured that out later moon and sprite. :-)

2:27 am

2:28 am

Congrats Mar. That sounds good for you.

2:28 am

you are blessed, Marmar. My kids are at school, but my hubby is home, suffering from gout. Poor soul. Him AND me.

2:28 am

Hi Marmar

2:28 am

I have too moon, I was wondering if that's what you were referring to

2:29 am

Hi lynxxx!

2:29 am

sprite, there are at least 4 of us babblers with husbands that have gout

2:29 am

Oh very lol

2:29 am

Nasty Sprite...does he get it from seafood?

2:29 am

Hiya Banana, thanks for not leaving me here alone, with these infidels.

2:29 am

Oh Sprite, poor hubby. Tell him "Gute besserung" from marmar.

2:29 am

lol

2:29 am

Gil gets it in his big toe

2:29 am

2:30 am

hi nana!

2:30 am

hubby bought the dvd's a couple of years ago and we watched them all in short order, enjoyed the movie too

2:30 am

132 bfs

2:30 am

lynxxx: no, from meat and alcohol. Not sure about the seafood.

2:30 am

Us, too. Whedon is brilliant.

2:30 am

hi ev1, now that I've broken my silence...lol

2:30 am

Even if he gets me in trouble, sometimes.

2:30 am

sounds like I need to watch Firefly then.

2:31 am

hi bananafour

2:31 am

sprite, gout is very common with Filipino men. it's from all the pork products and fish based flavoring agents

2:31 am

Oh, you so do. Joss Whedon you would Love.

2:31 am

and the lead guy (who's name is escaping me at the moment) is from Edmonton too....that's where I am

2:31 am

and then here in Hawaii, lots of asian flavors, so we have oyster sauce and other concentrated seafood flavors

2:31 am

ah, ok Fran. My hubby is not a Fillipino though.

2:32 am

Well, maybe if you girls would lay off the fishslapping...

2:32 am

nathan fillion

2:32 am

didn't think so sprite! :-)

2:32 am

now Joss Whedon sounds familiar, for some reason.

2:32 am

Nathan.. yeah that lol

2:32 am

young vegetables have a lot of uric acid also, like asparagus, broccoli, bean sprouts

2:33 am

He also wrote Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV vers) and Angel. He's most known for those, but rocks at eveything I've seen, so far.

2:33 am

Whedon = Buffy, Angel ( & Spike!)

2:33 am

but I must be nuts, because now I am thinking Buffy, for Joss Whedon

2:33 am

oh yes lynxxx, Spike!

2:33 am

oh... so I am not nuts! My brain is working today! Yay me!

2:33 am

I got the dirtiest looks saying the "dirtnap" line in a mall once....

2:33 am

*drools over Spike again*

2:34 am

i'm all atwitter again

2:34 am

lol Fran... am right there with you now

2:34 am

OK so now we have Bowie, Goldblum, Spike. Can add Liam N. (who comes from Haz's town!)

2:34 am

LOL more twittering Yeah Twittering!

2:34 am

2:34 am

Nathan wasn't half bad, at All, tho.

2:35 am

I love Nathan....liked him in the sitcom 2 guys and a girl too

2:36 am

I almost Cried last week when a GF told me he was on a commercial for Housewives...

2:36 am

2:36 am

I missed that one, Banana I shall look it up.

2:36 am

2:36 am

Part of my shopping today was to go get the Collector's Ed of Serenity.

2:37 am

it was originally called 2 guys, a girl and a pizza place or something like that

2:37 am

2:37 am

I'm Sooo looking forward to it. I was actually thinking of quitting out of here ASAP to watch it lol

2:37 am

hop over, we can watch it together!

2:37 am

Oh yes. I did find it. It was Necessary.

2:37 am

2:37 am

2:38 am

2:39 am

Ah. I haven't seen it, sorry. I didnt want to ruin fond memories of the book. Guess I got no choice, now.

2:39 am

You should see the face to go with it, Sprite. He's a cutie.

2:39 am

I liked Narnia

2:40 am

loved the book too

2:40 am

I am sold. Need to get me Firefly and Serenity then.

Not so sure I like the grid...but we have a new patient, so...

2:40 am

If I can close my eyes and hear his voice I'll be ok, if it gets bad lol

2:40 am

sprite, did you watch Schindler's List?

2:40 am

Firefly is like a sci fi western

2:40 am

the grid is tricky

2:40 am

hi all. I'll be in my bunk if you need me

2:40 am

Liam Neeson played Schindler

2:41 am

You'll proly adore it, Sprite... It's about Space Cowboys (very basically)

2:41 am

hi ata!

2:41 am

it is a good grid, challenging but not too much so.

2:41 am

are you sick?

2:41 am

But the writing is brilliant and the actors are all gems.

2:41 am

*hugs Ata* Get well soon, darling. Miss you.

I am having trouble with it, but I am also not concentrating.

2:41 am

Hiya Ata! Are you sick, too?

2:41 am

Hi Ata

2:42 am

Might be hard to do at work, Turtle.

2:42 am

good acting and good dialogs are enough for me

2:42 am

I'm not really going. Just quoting Firefly

2:42 am

LOL

yes, its back and forth...and I still feel snotty,.

2:42 am

I'm doing the Browncoat in April. I have it slated for THE moment I have time after this fair.

2:42 am

2:42 am

2:43 am

2:43 am

Have you seen the show 'Chuck' sprite? the guy that plays a CIA (?) agent is in Firefly

2:43 am

2:45 am

What your favorite episode, Ata?

2:46 am

Jaynestown

2:46 am

Nice call.

2:46 am

I had my mom knit me that hat.

2:46 am

2:46 am

From the Mail episode.

2:48 am

2:50 am

Nope, just naked. The hat is in an episode called "The message"

2:50 am

2:50 am

Altho I can safely say Nathan Fillian would look good that way too. He has 2 nice sets of cheeks.

2:50 am

2:51 am

well you do get to see that ...

Congrats Merk !

2:53 am

{{{{{applause for the Panda}}}}}

2:53 am

2:54 am

Ruru could LOL

2:54 am

I have been in and out all afternoon. I came up for air and realized I was done.

2:54 am

I don't know about first or last. But there is one we don't like and there is one we spot.

2:54 am

nm got it

2:54 am

the first one, Banana is just a minor de6. Or a word with a prehensile appendage

2:54 am

the1st de6 I have is "the devil is in the de****"

2:54 am

It could be a phonetic spelling of truck fuel

2:55 am

lol lynxxx... I thought that was God!

2:55 am

Ok. Nmding

2:55 am

thanks for the word, btw

2:55 am

I am minding. But I keep my head high and pretend not to care.

2:55 am

lol, I liked Merk's clue the best, but ty to all

2:55 am

It starts like a ***r John letter and ends like a window ***e.

2:55 am

Not a window pane.

2:56 am

I was going to say it rhymed with Clearasil lol

2:56 am

Oops, a window ***l

fireworks for me

2:56 am

a window ledge

2:56 am

woooooof! Can't give clues that give away half the word!

2:56 am

Congrats Mrp

2:56 am

That is almost too good a clue, Moon. Haz would batter you for that one.

2:56 am

yea Mrp

2:56 am

Congrats MRP !

2:56 am

I thought that's why it was funny =P

2:56 am

I am doing the honours for Haz, Merk!

2:57 am

That's why I dont do that stuff around haz LOL

thanks lynxx and marmar :)

2:57 am

hey! What happened to being afraid of me too?

2:57 am

Congrats MrP

2:57 am

I must go now. Too much work to do and that's what I'm here for.

2:57 am

Better than my boner clue from yesterday =P

thanks merk :) nite

2:58 am

have a good one, Merk

2:58 am

bye Merk

2:58 am

Uhm... I forgot?

2:58 am

boner? 2 sets of great cheeks and a boner?

2:58 am

Cya merk, have a good nite!

2:58 am

bye Merk

2:59 am

cheeks arent clues today, just on the brain... and yesterday we had "erect"...

2:59 am

And I was in a hurry.

2:59 am

lol... would have worked for me

3:00 am

boner was WAY faster than "to put up a skyscraper"...

3:00 am

lol

3:00 am

and beat the hell out of put up a boner the size of a skyscraper

3:01 am

or would that have been derelict?

3:01 am

Yeah, well the clue was actually "short part of boner"... so that might have been misleading lol

3:02 am

I wasn't going to put "lict" and boner together, but since You have... lol

3:02 am

I knew I was onto something here

3:03 am

either way... ruru got it and I think a chuckle, so was worth it, but I dont usually bother cluing when Haz is around, her's are good.

3:03 am

Haz is a great great cluer

3:04 am

I am hungry, gonna grab a bite and hurry back here with it.

3:04 am

exactly. So yeah. I just couldn't help the cleara*** joke, since I wasn't sure if Fran was back yet, and one of Goldblum's first bits was a zit creme commercial.

3:06 am

Since tonight's theme seems to Actually be "Stamps. Brought to you by the letter Goldbum and the number 3."

3:09 am

fireworks!

3:09 am

Congrats Banana !

3:09 am

Congrats nanana =)

3:09 am

3:10 am

The wind just started to really blow... we must be getting what everyone else had yesterday and day before.

3:11 am

some very unfair business to get through, woof?

3:11 am

Dunno. Seems a Little unlikely, but it's weather.

3:11 am

It Does sound wierd blowing thru the awnings, tho.

3:12 am

ah, weather. Don't know whether that applies or not.

3:12 am

I think if it was going to be all that bad, someone would have called me. Arent many of us here yet, but we all know each other.

3:12 am

Ha ha =P

3:12 am

I would check if the phone still works, woof

3:13 am

It does. It's a cell phone. and here we also have a land line. But the cell is working fine.

3:13 am

in that case, I'd say you are safe

3:14 am

the internet usually goes before the cell...

3:14 am

famous last words...

3:14 am

Yeah. I think so. Didnt hear anything, like I said. LOL I suppose.

3:15 am

Worst case senario = we leave the house, but I havent had to do that ever in AZ. We're sort of in a horse shoe canyon.

3:15 am

*hugs* Just being my obnoxious self!

3:15 am

The weather usually goes around the site.

3:16 am

Oh I know I count on it =)

3:16 am

Speaking of (hehe) was today better? I forgot to ask you, earlier.

3:16 am

one of my friends says that sometimes: Oops sorry, I was myself for a second.

3:17 am

today has just started, and it has started out fine!

3:17 am

I wonder if you would bother saying the "oops" part? lol

3:17 am

Good to hear. =)

3:17 am

since I can't find anymore words in the grid, I'll just share with you, we finally got Turner Classic Movies on our cable and now I have (offically) NO good reason to do any more housework. I could watch that all day and night.

3:18 am

morning everyone

3:18 am

oh Marmar, that is great new ;)

3:18 am

I should just go get a Tshirt and put the last part on the front so EVERYone is forewarned.

3:18 am

nah, I am not the oops type. Grin.

3:18 am

Hi Mum

3:18 am

Hi JakesMum - STILL here

3:18 am

Congrats Mar! But wait til Xmas... I can't watch Classic for a month.

3:19 am

3:19 am

Hiya Jakes

3:19 am

Aww.. the wind is giving the puppy little "puppymares"...

3:19 am

3:19 am

Why Moon? Too much "It's a Wonderful Life"?

3:20 am

awwww poor puppy

3:20 am

That and 34th Street and one more, but that's like IT for a month

3:20 am

*hugs jakes-mum* Never easy, being overdue. Remember THE date is just an average estimation, hun.

3:20 am

It's actually kinda cute, tho... She's Trying to bark at something, but it's coming out in little "mrumph's"

3:21 am

Thanks for the warning. I'm taping all my favs so we'll have a reserve.

3:21 am

Jakes-mum, just let that little baby out!

3:21 am

wish my original date had been the official estimation sa that was the 8th so would only have 4 days left before she was made to come :(

3:22 am

Awww. Sorry to hear, Jakes. I'm sure everyone's giving you advice on it huh? I heard "go for a motorcycle ride" so many times in a day it made me cry. (I blame that anyway)

3:22 am

she'll come when she is good and ready, I guess... *hugs again*

3:22 am

trying marmar, she just wont leave, hubby thinks the oven door is stuck

3:23 am

Ha! Bless you both. She just isn't ready I guess.

3:23 am

If you feel that pull on your ribs, tho Jakes, you know she's grabbed on.

3:23 am

make the most of it JakesMum, do some things you won't be able to do when the baby arrives

3:23 am

I keep being told to drive down a bumpy road, problem is I ALREADY tried it and it didn't work lol

3:23 am

Have you ever ridden a motorcycle? Riding the back is like that x5

3:23 am

and some serious sex? That is what I heard might work :)

3:23 am

Especially if you lower the struts...

3:24 am

She Did try that one Sprite lol

3:24 am

I've already cleaned the house from top to bottom twice, baked a complete cook book, done all the shopping i've run out of things to do!!

3:24 am

Moon, I hope you are referring to your suggestion and not Sprites...

3:25 am

yeah, but I mean NOW, not at the start of the 9 months :)

3:25 am

Uhm, nope, sorry Marmar. Sprites.

3:25 am

lol, I thought moon was combining her suggestion with sprites

3:25 am

Lord a'mercy!

3:25 am

well, now there is an idea, nana

3:25 am

Oooo. THAT I bet she hasnt tried! lol

3:25 am

Haircut, manicure, pedicure, restaurant, movies

3:25 am

I don't think my balance is that good to combine both sprites and moons suggestions lol

3:26 am

Jakes-mum, did you happen to ever read "Women's Bodies - Women's Wisdom"?

3:26 am

That's what finally worked for me, tho, Marmar, In the end.

3:26 am

lol

3:26 am

you are the pregnant one. Let HIM take care of balance, lol

3:26 am

Then I recommend Lynxes. A nice relaxing foot bath...

3:26 am

That must have been a wild ride Moon.

3:26 am

good thing about my suggestion is, that if it does not work, you still have a good time ;)

3:26 am

other problem of course is that hubby does NOT find me at all attractive with this boulder on the front of me

3:26 am

It was actaully lol

3:27 am

If you get the pedicure it might help =)

3:27 am

he doesn't have to look at the front of you.....oops did I say that?

3:27 am

Meeeemmmmmries....

3:27 am

LOL Say what??

3:27 am

what? The guy is nuts, jakes.

3:28 am

nana, good one. Indeed so.

3:28 am

he doesn't like the fact that she moves around, says it creeps him out to have someone else there lol

3:28 am

He Does know he helped with that, I hope...

3:28 am

LMAO

3:28 am

Like she's Looking?!

3:29 am

lol

3:29 am

I hope not moon

3:29 am

she is too young to care. All she will say is: "Hi dad, I see I don't look at you at all."

3:29 am

ewwww lol

3:29 am

She's not, I swear. If she could see anything you wouldn't be having this problem =D

3:29 am

Wrong head Sprite LOL

3:30 am

3:35 am

I'll just say I've been surrounded by a bunch of very hormonal men All of a sudden. Like the last email about your son went backwards just to prove me wrong.

3:35 am

have fun, Marmar!

3:36 am

Have fun Marmar! Sounds like a great work out.

3:36 am

3:40 am

Sure Sprite. Dont be dutch. Good Sprite.

3:41 am

3:41 am

1 day overdue now and fed up

3:41 am

there's your mail. Enjoy.

3:41 am

i know what you mean!

3:41 am

Oo. Good call Fran. the flag Is different.

3:41 am

neither of mine were overdue, but those last two weeks are the worst!

3:42 am

hi everyone

3:42 am

hi andree!

3:42 am

Evening Andree =)

3:43 am

i think the part I hated most was the "I said I have a bladder the size of a P, not I have to P" stage.

3:43 am

my first was 10 days overdue and had to be forced so i don't hold out much hope for this one to turn up this week

3:43 am

hi andree

3:44 am

i'll cross my fingers for you jakes-m

3:44 am

yummy, woof :) Good email that is :)

3:44 am

i have to tell a funny coincidence story

3:44 am

I am sorry, jakes-mum, that s*cks big time. I really hope she will come naturally, but if not, they won't let you wait that long.

3:44 am

mum try making an appointment for something you HAVE to do tomorrow and baby may decide you can't keep it

3:44 am

I did have a lovely ho shower this morning to try and fool her into thinking its as warm out here as it is in there but shes not falling for it

3:44 am

It Was. I still can't think straight.

3:45 am

Spill it Fran!

3:45 am

the day i went into labor with my daughter we were having my son's hair cut

3:45 am

there was a woman there with a 3 month old baby and an older boy

3:45 am

she told us that she went into labor with the baby the last time they had come in for a haircut

3:46 am

i laughed and said, "i wish that would happen to me"

3:46 am

ohhh thats a good idea, what can I plan? dentist is always a good one!

3:46 am

(i was 10 days from my due date and hadn't had a single contraction up to that point)

3:46 am

ohoh

3:46 am

damn wish I hadn't had jakes hair cut before christmas now

3:47 am

an hour after leaving the hair place i started contracting and gave birth 12 hours later!

3:47 am

omg Fran!

3:47 am

lol fran

3:47 am

how's that for a fun coincidence?

3:48 am

incredible, and funny!

3:48 am

does your husband need a hair cut jakes-mum?

3:48 am

That's a good one lol

3:48 am

my one big worry of course is that jake only took 6 hours and they say the second is faster, so I could end up on the bathroom floor at this rate (which happened to my sisters friend 2 months ago!!)

3:48 am

do you need a haircut jakes-mum

3:48 am

Good thing most barbers have tile floors lol

3:49 am

that wouldn't be good JM, how far are you from the hospital?

3:49 am

hubby cuts his hair at home with clippers! Ohh I wonder if it would work if I planned to go see my sister an hour down the road?

3:49 am

i'm 10 mins from hospital with good traffic

3:49 am

that's great!

3:49 am

Prolly not, Jakes... Not quite appointment-like enuf, I would guess/

3:50 am

oh yeah, first one was born 5 days before due date the night my husband had a gig

3:50 am

Unless the appointment is to get together w. sister for hair or pedi's or something. Then maybe

3:50 am

damn, and just realised I have a dentist appointment booked for march already, what else can I plan?

3:50 am

or go to the movies. It would so embarrassing if your water broke right there... it just might happen +'

3:50 am

he had to get a replacement DJ at the last minute

3:51 am

You said you baked the cookbook.. Have people over for dinner.?

3:51 am

book a facial, at least if there is no movement you can at least enjoy yourself

3:51 am

lol, how inconsiderate of your son, Fran!

3:51 am

:-)

3:51 am

walking near water is supposed to work too

3:52 am

Bacon?? EVErything is better with bacon!

3:52 am

I wouldn't even know where to go for a facial lol, I don't wear makeup, have my nails done or anything

3:52 am

there was a walking path back in Guam that several pregnant women claim caused their labor.

3:52 am

at dark moon, when moon and sun are both at the opposite side of the world and both pull on your waters...

3:52 am

That's why I'm voting foot bath and pedi, myself.

3:52 am

lol fran I sat in the shower for half an hour this morning and that didn't work

3:52 am

LOL woof!

3:53 am

try a bath? Maybe if she's floating...

3:53 am

I think the walking might be the working part of that trick though

3:53 am

that's perfect then JM! the baby will come along and put a dent in your first pampering appt.

3:53 am

no no cant do pedicure!! have a real phobia about my feet! (horror look) can't have anyone touching them

3:54 am

so make an appointment then, jakes-mum. If you are that scared, you will start contractions just to avoid having to keep it!

3:54 am

Hmmm. Ok, then... Massage. Theraputic massage to work out those Horrible back cramps...

3:54 am

good one sprite!

3:54 am

those recurrring cramps, woof? :P

3:54 am

I walked round 2 supermarkets on saturday (with the hope that if my waters did break I might get some free nappies) and then around the local pet rehoming centre on sunday

3:54 am

When you're preggers I think so. lol

3:55 am

8 months worth of recurring =P

3:55 am

now that is a good idea sprite, the shear terror of having to allow someone to touch my feet would make my stomach involutarily contract

3:55 am

poor jakes-mum. Sounds like you just have to wait it out then. I give you a serious *hug* and wish you good luck and stamina with it.

3:56 am

ty sprite

3:57 am

You Are almost done, tho, Jakes. That's a good thought. GRABS HER FEET

3:57 am

she must be sick of tea by now though as i must drink 20 cups a day for something to do

3:57 am

ROFLMAO

3:57 am

no!!!! not the feet!!!

3:57 am

Maybe a good foot tickle would do it!

3:57 am

(pulls them hastily away and sits on them)

3:58 am

If we All went for your feet I think we could take ya.

3:58 am

(looks for somewhere to hide from feet grabbers)

3:59 am

moon, are you trying to laugh her into labour?

3:59 am

*puts on innocent face and walks casually towards jakes-mum*

3:59 am

We work with what we got Fran =)

3:59 am

(runs when sees sprite coming - ok waddles)

3:59 am

darn, she is faster than I am. Then again... everybody is.

4:00 am

Hmmm. I wonder how we could track down her hubby's email. I bet He'd like my idea.

4:01 am

even he's not allowed near my feet!

4:01 am

Which is why I bet he'd like my idea lol

4:01 am

he probably would lol

4:01 am

We'll tickle her outta ya, just like hiccups.

4:02 am

Thats why I had Jake so he could have someone else to tickle

4:02 am

lol

4:02 am

Oooo. I bet she'd let Jake near her! We need to recruit, girls.

4:02 am

what are you going to do with your nick, jakes-mum, if the other little one has arrived?

4:02 am

Seriously, if a good chuckle would help I could tell her what day I had my toupee fiasco

4:02 am

I am very good with boys. I can talk Jake into it.

4:03 am

i guess if we don't see JM for a few days, we'll know why

4:03 am

yeah Fran, because it worked :D

4:03 am

:)

4:04 am

not changing it, jake was my 'present' totally unplanned so I will always be jakes-mum. And would love to hear the toupee fiasco!!

4:04 am

OMG, Sprite... I'm REAL bad at saying no to tempations lol

4:04 am

Wb Carra

4:04 am

lol woof, I figured!

4:04 am

hi carra!

4:04 am

toupee fiasco? this i have to hear

4:04 am

go ahead, woof. Make jakes-mum laugh!

4:04 am

And THAT?? I really don't think I could.

4:04 am

hi again carra!

4:05 am

Hi Sprite,Moon, Fran!

4:05 am

Ok, but I'm gonna warn you, mom, you might want to be sitting over tile.

4:05 am

why is it I take those tests things on facebook but never get my results? lol

4:05 am

woof, if you don't, I will. Grab what is left of your dignity and do the honors yourself.

4:05 am

tell me woof!

4:05 am

Oh, I meant the tempting part for That Sprite LOL

4:05 am

cause the whole site is buggy as hell?

4:06 am

Ok, for Xmas, this year we had a all the hubbys relatives over for dinner one night.

4:06 am

There were Tons of us in a not real big house,and it was Crowded.

4:06 am

ooooohhhh I see. Well, you could do the honours for that yourself as well, but together is more fun.

4:07 am

yeah i dont get the site at all lol

4:08 am

some of the apps force you to invite people, i don't like those

4:08 am

now, to preface this you should know a.) I'm a very not large 5' tall b.) we had 5 dogs and half a dozen little kids running around and c.) I'm NOT graceful. My husband says I'm a "good natured Menace to myself and others))

4:08 am

oooooh maybe thats why lol

4:08 am

I hear a lot of excuses. Get to the point! :P

4:08 am

Which is SO why I cant concentrate Sprite, he said he would if dinner went well.

4:09 am

SO Xmas

4:10 am

We had Just had the first half the family cycle thru the food and were getting the second set thru, but a couple of the kids couldn't focus... Its XMAS

4:11 am

My nephew ran past me chasing one of the dogs Just as I had gotten my plate and gone towards the table.

4:11 am

*soft drumroll*

4:11 am

I tripped Right over him trying to avoid the dog and the xmas tree. Dumping my plate of food all over the table

4:12 am

And in a Mostly successful effort to catch myself I grabbed the closest thing to me with my now "free hands"

4:12 am

I grabbed a hold of my father in laws head and Ripped the toupee RIGHT off his head.

4:13 am

ROFLMAO!!!

4:13 am

And firmly planted my father in laws toupee in the green bean casserole

4:13 am

lol

4:13 am

lol

4:14 am

Now. *I* (at the time) had NO idea guys would actuallyt glue the things to their heads...

4:15 am

But not ONLY did his granddaughter Scream at the sight of her grandpa with out hair and his grand son STARE at him...

4:16 am

But HE jumped up and started yelling cause I'd just pulled off like half a bottle of glue frm his scalp.

4:16 am

I'm pretty sure that was the first time many of those people had heard Some of those very coice words, but *I* was horrified.

4:17 am

ohhh I bet you wern't popular lol

4:17 am

*another drumroll... the worst is yet to come*

4:17 am

is he talking to you yet?

4:17 am

4:37 am

4:37 am

I think that means you weigh less than I do, herin... what's KGs to Lbs?

4:37 am

bye sprite

Also there is a new program starting up that i am looking at going to

4:38 am

Cya Sprite =) Have a good day

Bye Sprite

Ok Moon

4:38 am

bye sprite *hugs*

4:39 am

No, seriously, herin... What's Kgs to lbs.?

4:39 am

bye sprite!

Moon i started a bit over 9 weeks ago at 111-112 which is about 247 pounds. Now i am at 105.5k which is about 132pounds

4:40 am

I thought so. I Do outweigh you.

Might we add im about 5 foot 10 and should weigh about 160-170 pounds based on body mass index which is your healthy weight according to the medical guys

4:41 am

Screw med guys... Thats Never worked for me.

4:41 am

your a tall lady, lady !! you'd tower over me

4:41 am

I weigh between 145 and 150 Always.

4:41 am

And I'm 5'

4:42 am

Which means you're Svelte now!

Moon this is based on medical stuff but everyone is different why i say about 160-180 range. I dropped to about 154pounds when i was 21 and that was wrong and my hips stick out.

Far from svelte curvy yes but i would like to get a flat stomach. i will always have a butt and curvy figure as that is my bones.

Pink i was the tallest in my class 2 years running when i was 13

4:43 am

Are your hips sticking out now?? Alright then =P

No not now. My butt is there and i love it

4:45 am

Still. I weigh more =P

4:45 am

i stopped growing at 14 *i think* im 5' 3" or 4" it depends who measures me lol

Moon i weigh more than you in pounds

I never annoy small people they bite

4:46 am

curvy is good herin, you dont wanna look like these "lolly pop" celebs

4:46 am

we have to make up for our height in some way lol

Oh yes Vic Beckam is NOT an idol. I like my boobs and butt

Is this grid hard or is it me?

4:47 am

I have a tape. And at 5'1/4" (which all short people are required to add) and I'm a very "sturdy" (read battle dwarfish) 147 right now.

4:47 am

could i get a clue for the tr plz?

Sorry i just started

QUestion: Is a 16 year old teenager responsible for their actions?

4:57 am

in the eye of the law or the eye of a parent?

4:57 am

well, that kid obviously knows he did something bad, he sa** his parents were probably going to kill him

Parent.

4:58 am

but i wouldn't leave a 16-year old boy alone while i went on holiday either

4:58 am

yes, a 16 year old is fully aware of the concequences of his actions. They are from younger than that

I was referring to that article i posted. I just said to my b.f when does the umbilical cord get severed. Seriously some of my friends were out of home at that age

4:59 am

I was not left home until 17 and had left school and had a job so I understood responsibility

5:00 am

eek! 1:00 am here, i need to sleep

I guess it also depends on the person. My b.f was out of home at 16

5:00 am

last 42 will be found tomorrow

FRANNIE. Go to bed my dear

5:00 am

I left home at 15, pretty much

5:00 am

Anyone found any 8s yet?

5:00 am

night frannie1

5:01 am

de8 x 2 and di8 MM

5:01 am

I don't know why there is such a maturity leap between 16 and 17 but I wouldn't leave my hild home alone for 2 weeks at 16 unless he had seriously proved he was trustworthy

5:01 am

di 8 your body does this to food eaten

5:01 am

bye!! *poof*

5:01 am

oh wait...good luck with the baby JM!! *really poofing*

Hi Movie

5:02 am

my parents used to leave me alone at home for 2 weeks when I was 12 - 13

5:03 am

but I was a precocious little brat who used to want to be left alone to read for weeks on end

5:03 am

I hope you could cook so you didn't live off pizza ata!

Hi Ata. I was talking about this dumbarse kid that got busted for a 500 people party. Looks like his parents may be slugged a $20 000 fee from the police

Scrabbler, you better keep a closer watch on your internet connection!

6:18 am

TY, Frances, for the clue.

6:18 am

hiya pink

hi uni, frances, movie, scrab, pink et al

6:19 am

Uni--it is my router. Sometimes I have to unnconnect the cable and reconnect with the modem. It is random and I don't know why that happens.

frances, did your BE get sorted?

6:19 am

morning, all.

6:19 am

Hi Angelsong

6:19 am

You're welcome Scrabs

hi angel!

6:19 am

hi frances and angel!!

6:20 am

LOL, in medicine, BE = barium enema. I hope that is not what you are referring to.

6:20 am

I get that problem sometimes, scrabs, trouble is, my 'puter's in my bedroom and the router is two floors above!!!!!

6:20 am

Oh, that's power cycling, Scrabbs. Happens to everyone and is incredibly irritating!

6:20 am

Yes, thank you mrp. I eventually got completely kicked off so left it for a while and then it was OK.

6:20 am

"power cycling" ....? Yes, it is annoying!!

6:20 am

Babble expert Scrabs.

i am doing ok thanks... we are packing the house, dismantling all the beds and book shelves and packing away everything! it is becoming very sparce.

6:21 am

LOL, Frances. I should have thought of Babble Expert.

6:21 am

Lots of work, mrp!

6:21 am

any luck on houses mr p?

6:22 am

Do you have somewhere to go mrp? Last I heard you were tearing your hair out looking.

oh good, frances, another babbler sent lickety an email saying you felt like you were being left out, so it was a concern to us. Please don't feel lickety ignored you!

6:22 am

I have to get ready to go---I shall return tonight after a long day at work (1-8). Enjoy the day!

lickety said he did not receive an email from you, so it confused him

6:22 am

Oh, Packing is awfully irritating. Take care Scrabbler!

6:22 am

have a good one scrabbler!

bye scrab!

6:23 am

Scrabs I happened to mention that I had Expert V11 when others were talking about V12 and said I felt a bit left out!

lickety does care and depends on feedback. I am glad it worked out

6:24 am

Hey, I don't have V12. Mine is v11.

6:25 am

I know. I think I was feeling a bit sorry for myself that day.

6:25 am

who has v. 12??

6:25 am

nor do i scrabbler, your in good company lol

6:25 am

I've got V.11

lickety didn't send anyone the v12... there were requests for v12 and he sent it to them to test... it is no different to v11 and he is working on v13 for the official release. as some people had requested it to test, he sent it to them

6:26 am

About 4-5 months ago Lickety told me v.12 was nearly ready...that's the closest I have come! :)

only a handful have v12, it was a test... you are not missing out on anything

6:26 am

Not a problem mrp. As I said, I think I was just having a bad day and feeling sorry for myself.

6:27 am

V. 11 works for me! Except my videos never come up first time around, but Lickety showed me how to get it with a refresh.

v12 was a couple of minor bug fixes and those that asked for it got it to test

6:27 am

Lunchtime......bbl

oh darling! lickety has had a terrible time fitting in with time management... we are moving and it has been the last thing on his mind.

he sent it mainly to new babblers because he wasn't managing old versions

6:29 am

G'd morning babblers! ***Is wearing protective sponge suit, in case a tackling carlee is lurking***

6:29 am

How is the move going? Do you have somewhere to move to?

6:29 am

There is no readon for it to be on his mind MrP...it still blows my mind that he keeps updating this! Did you get that 3 bed house you mentioned the other day?

hi lori!

6:30 am

Good morning Lori

we did get the house! we are moving in 7 days

6:30 am

Hey mrP, glad things turned your way. i knew they would!

frances, i do understand that! I have days like that too! It is nice to have support

6:32 am

That's so exciting Mr P! I am glad you found something you love

we are terribly lucky! it was touch-and-go for a while! I didn't know what we were going to do or where we would end up, so we are grateful

6:32 am

You got a house! Wonderful news. You must be so excited now.

yes, very exciting and good news! it is a lovely house! right near the school too! it was exactly what we wanted

6:35 am

when preparation meets opportunity, sometimes good things do happen .... glad it worked out for you, mrp, ma'am

we are in a cul-de-sac with only 10 houses in it! and the kids have to travel 3 short blocks to school!

thanks babrab... we need good things to come to us... it has been a very difficult few years

6:37 am

That sounds wonderful. Just so sad that you have to leave the beautiful house you are in now. However, I am sure that it will be the start of many good things to come.

it is sad, we are sure it is the right thing to do, and it will be so much easier now. If I get sick again, I have much closer support from the community and the kids can get to and from school. It certainly will be a better situation.

6:40 am

How is your arm now? I do hope you are seeing some improvement.

yes, it is much better! i have been on new treatment for 37 days now, and even though it has been slow, I notice the improvement. I have 2 months more to go

6:42 am

Puts my minor ailments into perspective. Such a long time.

the best bit... I have reduced my pain meds by half. I am nearly ready to come off them! It will be a wonderful thing when I am 'back to normal'

6:44 am

good for you, mrp

6:44 am

That is such good news. You must have spent the last few months feeling as though you were floating on another planet.

i have been in contact with someone who is on the same meds as me, and I have realised that they affect me so much... I just want to be off them so that i can go back to my self. It is hard to be 'out of mind' at times and it will be wonderful to be me again

6:45 am

***ponders the breadth and depth of the flavor contained within swiss chees holes***

6:46 am

LOL Lori

at least no calories Lori

6:46 am

*cheese even

6:46 am

6:47 am

PB--------->

yeah, yeah I know

6:48 am

Pink! ***hugs*** mrP, the tide is turning.

6:48 am

Quit 'yer complainin'! The treats in there are wicked good. Man, it's not like a Siberian jail or anything....

one babbler has been in constant contact with me... her husband is in so much pain and dealing with the drugs. I feel for her. I am in no position to complain compared to his plight

6:49 am

I left bacon sarnies in there earlier.

6:49 am

LOL lori

lemem see if I've learned anything . . . . sarnies are sandwiches?

6:50 am

Yes Jean

6:51 am

Glad they're not Barnies. Little purple sandwiches don't sound very appealing....

6:51 am

What are Barnies?

you have a strange, strange mind Lori

quite like my own

6:51 am

Oh - that Barny. Stupid me.

she was referring to barney the big purple dinosaur

6:52 am

Barney the purple dinosaur. Frances, it was a failed attempt at humor...... :) ***sawry***

6:52 am

Yep. The penny dropped.

6:52 am

can someone please offer a clue for the 1st de6/21

I think SOME people might have thought of slicing him up into sandwiches if they heard his song one more time

6:52 am

Strange sounds so harsh. I prefer eccentric.... :)

6:53 am

nm

6:53 am

today's grid is a breeze.

6:53 am

de6/21 de + b**** is a herb used a lot in Italian cooking

6:53 am

G'd morning Angel!

my kids never got Barney! They did love Dora and Blue's Clues

6:53 am

thanks frances!

6:53 am

You're welcome pink

6:54 am

hi, Lori

6:54 am

Rescue Heroes were big here. Now they've moved on to "bigger kid" shows

6:54 am

fireworks, thanks for the clues folks!

6:55 am

Congrats pink!!!!!

yay pink!

6:55 am

Well done pink

6:55 am

***now pondering the merits of boxer vs briefs***

oh briefs are sexy, boxers are comfort

6:56 am

neither

commando

6:56 am

I'm with Esprit.

commando works well ;)

6:56 am

one must get back to reality now, have a fabulous day everyone!!! lol EJ!

:-)

6:57 am

Bye pink. Have a good day.

6:57 am

Take care Pink!

6:57 am

Have a great day pink!

6:58 am

***great, thanks Esprit, now I'm pondering things I dare not post here...***

that pondering also comes down to upright vacuum vs longneck heads

6:59 am

upright !

6:59 am

No, cylinder!

6:59 am

Hello everyone.:-)

6:59 am

no! get someone else to do it for you!

6:59 am

G'd morning Jacula. :-)

hi jac!

7:00 am

cylinder .

7:00 am

Ata wins!

7:00 am

pondering aloud on occasion has lead to others view the problem from the supine

well ata, that costs money

7:00 am

thats what husbands are for ..... :P

7:01 am

just do what i do, and don't vacuum!

7:01 am

Not an option with a houseful of kids and pets, Lori.

there is an option... tell him to leave the money on the tallboy

7:02 am

same here, lori

7:02 am

I have a housefull of kids and pets. I still avoide vacuuming like the plague....

7:03 am

I can't vacuum, my asthma goes haywire. Such a shame

7:03 am

It's true. I make the youngest vacuum occasionally. Then we see a remarkable difference in the colour of the flooring

7:03 am

*Pondering whether to find last 22 words or go and clean the rabbit and g/pig hutches.*

7:04 am

Ata - you can get a vacuum with a filter for that.

7:04 am

Uni knows. I'll be remembered for many things when i die. My housekeeping won't be one of them. At least not in a good way.... :)

i must say goodnight. it is tuesday and we have too much to do tomorrow for me to be 'having fun' here

7:04 am

No you can't Ata, don't listen. Vacuuming is awful.

bye all

7:04 am

'Bye, MrP.

7:04 am

Sleep tight mrP. Some busy days ahead for you. take care!

7:04 am

LOL, Uni.

7:04 am

Good night Mr P! Sleep tight

7:05 am

Bye mrp. Take care and sleep well.

7:05 am

I learned well from my mother, Jac. I vacuum for my grandmother, and no-one else.

thanks! nite!!

7:05 am

uni's not kidding either.....

7:06 am

tried that Jac. still end up in hospital after vacuuming!

7:07 am

Ata - sounds like you need to change from fitted carpets to that hard flooring with rugs.

7:07 am

Save yourself woman! In the name of all that's holy, throw the vacuum out!

7:07 am

Or just get beautiful hardwood flooring all over. No rugs!

7:08 am

we've got hardwood floor pretty much everywhere now, and that does make a difference

7:09 am

okay, now throw out the brooms and mops, and you've got 'er beat! :-)

7:09 am

No curtains...no sheets, no fabric of any kind

7:09 am

it also makes for great amusement when the cat skids from one end of the room to the other on the wood floors

7:09 am

Brooms are okay, just make hobbit do it while you are off being brilliant :)

7:09 am

Hello all

7:09 am

may I have clues for the 8s please

7:09 am

G'd morning peri

7:10 am

hobbit brushes every time she wiggles while sitting down

7:10 am

Perhaps she could make an ice palace like the one in Lapland or Finland, or wherever it is?

7:10 am

Hello, peri.

7:10 am

jus read part of the log, what is this vacuuming you speak of

7:10 am

I'm sure she does that a lot, if she is anything like the spaniel I know. Hopefully she is more intelligent though

7:10 am

lve your icon Jac

7:10 am

the 8's are alle xtensions of the 6's

7:10 am

Thanks, peri. It's a nice stamp. It's cheeky.

7:10 am

what is this "intelligence" and "spaniels"?

7:10 am

de 6, to sense or find

7:11 am

which 6's would that be?

7:11 am

de 6, the devil is in the de****s

7:11 am

di 6, Reader's Di**** the magazine

7:11 am

da

7:11 am

ea

7:11 am

The one I unfortunately know is an expensive (theoretical) purebred. So ncredibly unintelligent that I don't like the breed....she's ruined me for life

7:12 am

found de8/55 thanks

7:12 am

got di8/60 thanks

7:12 am

G'd morning inge? :-)

7:12 am

learn from Hobbit and Spangle - they are proper spaniels :D

7:13 am

are there two de8

7:13 am

They're awfully far away though! Maybe it depends which side of the planet you are on

7:13 am

my bad peri, hang on, i screwed up

7:13 am

found a de7

7:13 am

de 6, to hate, then extend

7:13 am

thanks Lori, got all the 8's now

7:14 am

that should give you 3 8's.

7:14 am

english spaniels tend to be nicer than american ones. that's not being dog racist LOL but the English breeds are less bred, and thus are more normal

7:14 am

Much better Lori. I wasn't getting anywhere with the devil ;)

7:14 am

So sorry about that all. My apologies.

7:14 am

I'll let you slide this time Lori, since we both don't like to vacuum :-)

7:14 am

That'll do it. This one is too "pure" for me...I am not a fan of purebred animals

i'm confused, are there 2 de8s? i have the one about hate

7:15 am

lol vacuuming is highly overrated, along with housework in general.

7:15 am

Yes de8 x2

ooh i just found it!

7:15 am

totally agree with you Lori re housework, I do it rarely

7:15 am

yes Gob, then de 8/55, to sense, thene tend for the 8

7:15 am

yeah .... the few American cockers I know aren't much fun. They are always ill, always grumpy. English cockers and springers *tend* to be much nicer and more your normal dog-about-the-house

thank you all :-)

7:16 am

we were supposed to get snow but didn't Yay!!

7:16 am

I'm with peri. I do the least I have to do, and I'm good with that!

7:16 am

Can yours lay on it's back legs like a normal dog? Sadie has to stick them out behind her to sleep as she can't bend them properly. i don't know if it is a breeding thing, or just the way she is.

7:16 am

(though Une's spaniels always look gorgeous and well-centered)

7:16 am

The storm is s'posed to arrive here any time now. :(

7:18 am

ick, yes, spaniels are prone to hip problems. again, I think its generally more pronounced in the American breeds (I'm well over-simplifying millions of dogs here, but hey). Hobbit's actually got slight hip problems, but very slight, and she can't lay with both of her back legs out behind her! She can get one there, but not both. Poor babe

7:20 am

Sounds kinda painful. I would not like to be born like that. I think that ends my cross-examination for the day, I just always wondered and her owner is a bit nutso about her. Not that it's a bad thing, but she doesn't even attempt to teach her to be a "good" dog.

7:20 am

***pushy little kid, ain't she?*** :)

7:21 am

I could happily murder a lot of cocker breeders from the present and past. they screwed up the breed royally trying to make them ever prettier

7:21 am

hobbit is from working stock, however, and that wasn't ever so tampered with (she looks more like a baby springer than a foofy show cocker)

7:21 am

It bothers me to think of breeding methods and the things that have been done in the name of "beauty." I prefer a healthy animal.

7:22 am

She just looks kinda sad in your icon!

7:22 am

It was the breeding for narrow skulls that made most cockers loopy. It happened with setters, too.

7:22 am

she was tired .... hmmm, let me find a happy pic

7:23 am

I was always told with cockers that 1/3 are normal, 1/3 are dangerous and 1/3 are just mad. Bastard breeders

7:23 am

We had a greyhound and boy! are they dim!! Adorable, loyal, affectionate, patient but dim!

7:24 am

There used to be a collie at my dads (not pure at all) that I taught to eat peanuts rested between my teeth. Weird, but I was young and se would do anything for me! Peanuts were her favourite

7:25 am

ok, one very happy dog in my pic. and one owner going uh-oh, bath time soon ...

7:26 am

Hobbit is pretty smart. My previous cocker was as dumb as 2 short planks, I'm pretty sure - well, absolutely sure - he was brain damaged at birth

7:26 am

Hey, at least she had fun!

7:27 am

oh she had great fun! she loooooooooves the beach

7:27 am

I was flipping through your flickr photos, Hobbit looks quite different from Sadie. Both beautiful, but def. different

7:27 am

And what of Spangle. Where does she come in the dog beauty stakes?

7:28 am

oh, number 1, of course!

7:28 am

Top dog, Haz.

7:28 am

I wouldn't know Hazlet, I've only ever seen her head! For all I know she is a stuffed animal in the back :)

7:28 am

I'll not insist on top spot except in MY reckoning!

7:28 am

Although, I like her 'grooming.' Very chic and fashionable in that photo!

7:29 am

Ah, but Spangle might!

7:29 am

found more than half on first go round, bbl

7:29 am

she's a very beautiful and good-natured dog, that deserves top spot!

7:29 am

find a pic of the whole dog for Uni :P

7:29 am

Bye, peri.

7:29 am

I go looking for a whole dog pic.....

7:29 am

She also has her own personal doc, and a fan club! As well as walkies...

7:32 am

what dog could want for more!

7:32 am

I know. Full size look left <--------

7:33 am

awwww pretty girl

7:33 am

Anyway, I've neglected to say good morning or good afternoon to everyone. Atalante, you're not marooned in bed?

7:33 am

Oh, she has beautiful little spots on her feet! I still love her ears :) Methinks her colours push her up the ladder

7:34 am

Haz - Spangle looks like she knows we're talking about her.

7:34 am

nearly ... I think I'll be going back there soon. I'm waiting for a parcel to be picked up - I just know if I go back to bed, they'll arrive

7:34 am

hey, haz! and kisses to Spangle!

7:34 am

Hello Une!

7:35 am

Tell Hobbit to watch the door, and you catch some ZZZZZs

7:35 am

mott

7:35 am

oops

7:35 am

Jacula, I'd love to know what goes through her head sometimes. Especially when she's doing the stealth wak up the stairs.

7:35 am

To the PB, Unea!

7:35 am

noooooooooooooo

7:35 am

:-D

7:35 am

when you read back through the log, Une and realise we were utterly trashing American spaniels, please note that yours were excluded from the start. Yours are beautiful

7:35 am

No arguing, Une.

7:36 am

sigh . . . hope there's a big pot of strong coffee . . .

7:36 am

(Isn't Uniquity well trained?)

7:36 am

Haz - does she have a mad session where she races around the house for no apparent reason? My dog and both my cats used to do that.

7:37 am

I am well trained. I require treats now that I have performed.

7:37 am

Her mad session tends to be after she has had her food in the evening. Bones get attacked with great ferocity, she races up and down the hall. Then she settles down again.

7:37 am

ata, I know--and I agree re cocker breeders . . . my sweet Lady (now deceased) had every physical problem known to dogdom . . . I adopted her at age 4 and she'd already been bred 3 times . . .

7:37 am

and when she's drying off?

7:37 am

*throws Uni a bonio*

7:37 am

What sort of treats would you like, Uniquity?

7:38 am

poor darling girl :(

7:38 am

A+ are good...

7:38 am

mornin babblers!

7:38 am

And when she's drying off, she can only be permitted to go outside for a quick piddle - leave her longer and all would be undone.

7:38 am

be back in a mo (sneaking thru tunnel carved in floor of penalty box)

7:38 am

Morning Une and Evan.

7:38 am

Good morning EvaN!

7:39 am

hey jac :-) and eva

7:39 am

This PB has got more holes than swiss cheese!!!

7:39 am

Hey Eva!

7:39 am

Haz - do expand on the 'walk of stealth'...

7:39 am

(Hope Une realises that all exits are covered)

7:39 am

hows everyone doing today?

7:39 am

Nice easy grid, Eva.

7:39 am

The walk of stealth takes place when she wants to go upstairs. She's not technically allowed. However, if she averts her gaze, and goes quietly, she thinks we can't see her.

7:40 am

lol yes, hobbit does the same thing at the beach when advancing on birds

7:40 am

She'll then droop over the top step and keep watch from there for any attempts to get her down.

7:40 am

Aha. Eye contact is everything to the animal kingdom!

7:40 am

good to hear, jacula. :)

7:40 am

if she walks very slowly and doesn't quite look at them, they won't know she's there

7:41 am

fireworks for me.

7:41 am

Congratulations Angelsong!

7:41 am

Yay Angel

7:41 am

Exactly, Atalante. She pretends to be sleeping sometimes so as not to be moved.

7:41 am

LOL, Haz. We used to have a child gate on the stairs to stop our dog going up there. Doesn't work for cats, unfortunately, so now we have to keep the upstairs doors closed. (Which I hate doing.)

7:42 am

Well done, Angel.

7:42 am

She doesn't do any harm, she just seems to like the top step as a vantage point to watch for cats. If one appears, the hurtling is hectic.

7:43 am

does she go so fast her legs get tangled up?

7:43 am

and end up sliding down the last few steps?

7:43 am

Hectic hurtling. I like that description. That's what our dog used to do from halfway up the stairs when the post arrived. (The gate was at the top of the stairs.)

7:44 am

Not so far. It just seems to be a fair attempt to do a Buzz Lightyear in canine terms. She runs out of room at the bottom and almost crashes into the door.

7:44 am

We had to put a cage over the letterbox to stop him yanking the post out of it. He'd land on the cage and then slide off in a heap. He got out of the habit as he got older.

7:44 am

hobbit does. its highly amusing to all concerned

7:45 am

Does Silverclaw watch with disdain?

7:46 am

oh yes. from the top step usually. you can just see what she's thinking ...

7:48 am

hints for the T in the top row or the Ds in the bottom row?

7:48 am

tr7/36 for the t

7:49 am

just found the T. :)

7:49 am

FIREWORKS!:-) tr7 was my last word.

7:49 am

Trying to work out the d words - there are so many d opportunities....

7:49 am

Congratulations Jacula!

7:50 am

yes, i have to work on the D words, but everything im thinking of is coming from the other 2 Ds...heh

could i get another clue for the tr7.36, please?

7:50 am

de6/21 - de plus what wasn't put in the ratatouille (minus b - a herb - Fawlty Towers reference)

7:51 am

Thanks. I must go and clean hutches now, and then I have chicken pies to make. Happy Babbling!

7:51 am

thanks haz!

7:51 am

yay parcel people turning up shortly! then I shall have some lunch, then crawl back to bed ...

7:51 am

Bye Jacula - have a good day!

7:51 am

You're welcome Eva - still trying to decipher which others come from that tile.

7:52 am

going to visit my niece tonight! with the exception of my brother, the family got a clean bill of health at the doctors last week. :)

7:52 am

de6/21 and past tense - really not to like exams.

7:52 am

no worries, haz. i just started, so im sure my brain will click into gear eventually!

7:52 am

oops. I forgot. Have lunch, take *dog* for walk, *then* crawl back to bed ...

7:52 am

Good to know you're going to see her, EvaN - hopefully all will be well.

7:53 am

i just have to *remember* im going there when i leave work -- its in the opposite direction from home and on a different train line!

7:54 am

Oh you'll remember!

tr7.36, anyone?

7:54 am

de4/4 - a plurality of the letter comes from there

7:55 am

tr7/36 - a three lettered attempt to propel a boat

7:55 am

youd be amazed how absent-minded i can be!

7:55 am

tr7, a yachting term

thank you haz, i never would have guessed that word!

7:55 am

My speciality is forgetting where I've parked the car.

well, i'm off for a bit, the ellen show is coming on here and we never miss her show!

7:56 am

You're welcome Gobias. Hello ex-Wren!

7:56 am

this may be the strangest thing ive seen in a while -- i bought a wall-calendar over the weekend for my office. i just went to hang it, and it has no holes!

7:57 am

So no means of hanging?

7:58 am

Hello Hazel. I've been in for quite a while, but concentrating of the words. only 39 to go

7:58 am

Don't you have a hole-punch Eva?

7:59 am

It's a nice grid today, isn't it? You're almost there though the last few always take longer than the beginning.

8:00 am

im on 19! but to be fair i have not been around at all.

8:00 am

ok, off to trudge round a muddy path with a very bouncy dog

8:00 am

methinks ill hafta hunt-down a hole-puncher!

8:01 am

I needn't say enjoy the trudge, endure it with the thought of bed and peace afterwards.

8:01 am

hello everyone! just started. grid looks friendly

8:01 am

Hello Annie - yes, a nice grid today.

8:02 am

"Have tea, will babble" - hi all !

8:02 am

Good morning, AnnieB, Haz, Ata, ExWren, Lucien and EvaN!

8:02 am

hello Luc!

8:03 am

Hello montreal - and Scarlet!

8:03 am

and dear Scarlet!

8:03 am

Annie!! Yippee and Yowza for Bobby!

8:03 am

lots of es's and ed's, Annie

8:03 am

Marvy Monday to all!

8:03 am

hey there ((Sacrlet)) !

8:03 am

Aloy!! Good day to thee!

8:04 am

Luc :-)

8:04 am

It's the gathering of the clans. Hello Aloy.

8:04 am

Yes, there was happiness in my house last night for the Giants! Bobby was elated

8:04 am

scarlet* even !

8:04 am

Hi Aloy!

8:04 am

thank you, ex-wren!

8:04 am

hello there Aloy !

8:05 am

LOL... the entire weekend was a slam-bang for me, Annie... I picked all four against the weighty opinions of the "experts" and beloved is still stunned!

8:05 am

Scarlet, that is impressive..quite!

8:06 am

*smug*

8:06 am

as you should be!

8:06 am

sl

8:06 am

Good morning, Bremen!

8:07 am

didn't like the cowboys and was rooting for the giants but didn't hope too much...

8:07 am

wtg, Scarlet.. (-: just read your impressive accomplishment after recovering from the vertigo of finding ce5.16

8:08 am

Luc, I was so happy that Indy is out of the mix, too... VERY happy that Eli is out from under Peyton's looming shadow! LOL, Aloy... I am taking "strutting" lessons from my fat old cat...

8:08 am

Is that the carpenter we hear widening the doorways, Scarlet?

8:08 am

scarlet, smugness and strutting will go just so far!

8:09 am

I know dear Annie... but in years goneby, the best I ever did on picks was 75 %, so I am grateful that I never gamble... this could lead to some serious entanglements... LOL

8:10 am

LOL, Haz... yes, my head is getting rather fattened... but it is an illusion.. I'm no brighter than I was on Friday... alas.. LOL

8:10 am

You also could have made some serious money

8:10 am

Still, it's nice to know that you have been right. The sweetest words I hear from my daughters 'You were right'.

8:11 am

would you say scarlet, that luck may have had a tiny bit of influence on your results ?

8:11 am

Oh, Haz, I have noticed that the older the girls become, I seem to get a little wiser...

8:11 am

Wash out your mouth, montreal. Judgement and knowledge!

8:11 am

I was at the racetrack yesterday and had a great time..and didnt lose too much so I consider that winning a little

8:11 am

lol hazel...

8:12 am

I know - I'm finding the wisdom thing as well. It's great.

8:12 am

Luc, I would say that my picks were (contrary to my usual deliberations) totally emotional and more based on desire than reality of factoring in all the X- stats and injuries... \

8:12 am

i KNEW it !!!

8:13 am

:-) So right, as usual, Luc!

8:13 am

it's your little finger... woman's intuition striking again !

8:14 am

But, I had a fleeting satisfaction of going against all of the unanimous choices of the experts...

8:14 am

Do men not have intuition or is it just that women act upon it more?

8:14 am

I love that question, Haz... a deep discussion if ever there was one.

8:15 am

It just occurred.....

8:15 am

Annie, the tracks are open now? Wow... I used to go just to people-watch

8:15 am

Haz.. my kneejerk reaction is that they are "clueless".. but that is not fair, so I will mull that question over

8:15 am

Aqueduct is open

8:16 am

oh i think we get all kinds of intuition(s)... but the other half of our brains is ALSO working... so yes, we don't act as often based on our intuitions...but that's only my most recent theory...

8:16 am

I think women tend to have the courage of blending intellect with projections of scenario outcomes... and act accordingly.

8:17 am

well, montreal.. both halves of women's brains also work.. (-:

8:17 am

courage... smourage...lol...

8:17 am

I think I would have very strong intuitions about people but kind of reserve judgement until later. I'm usually right in my first estimation though. As for situations, I would decide quickly in my own mind what to do, then wait for husband to catch up.

8:17 am

i know Aloy...just kidding them a bit...

8:18 am

lol hazel...

8:18 am

wow -- morning all. deep discussion that i have missed it would appear

8:18 am

The essential thing is to make him think it was what he wanted all along.

8:19 am

Good day, bbnaz... more of a philosophical meandering...

8:19 am

haz brought it up, bbnaz

8:19 am

good morning Betsy - how are you today ?

8:19 am

I have learned that my first feelings are dead-on, Haz.

8:19 am

Good morning bb - it's not too deep. No dictionaries consulted yet.

8:19 am

re-lol hazel

8:19 am

well it is a lovely day dawning out my window...i am on this side of the grass so it is a GREAT day

8:19 am

Another reason for feeling smug, Scarlet!

8:20 am

Where can one consult the woman's textbook on gut piloting...?

8:20 am

snowing here with a minus 3 C... and some wind...

8:20 am

LOL, Haz... more of self-preservation!

8:21 am

there is a bit of a breeze outside but no frost on the windows.....so it isn't too cold

8:21 am

I think as you get older you do trust your instincts more, especially if you have been proved right in the past.

8:21 am

My instinct was that the life of a rock groupie wasn't for me, and I've been proved right.

8:21 am

i generally ignore my instincts, make bad choices, then kick and scream my way back to reality........

8:21 am

simply amazing what one reads in the chog...

8:22 am

my first impressions or feelings are usually an indicator of what I will get later on. Yes, I think as you get older you get better at judging

8:22 am

Haz, I think rock groupie is a perfectly admirable early career.........

8:22 am

What are you reading, montreal?

8:22 am

that's sounds about right Annie...

8:22 am

"chog"?? love it, montreal!

8:22 am

life isn't about surviving the storm...it is how to dance in the rain

8:23 am

Another Cormac McCarthy's book...

8:23 am

It would have been if I'd ever liked rock music, so I fear I would have been a bit of a hindrance. 'Can you turn the music DOWN?!'

8:23 am

I like that very much, Betsy...

8:23 am

Rock groupie, no, Haz... movie star kidnapper, yes.

8:23 am

well tx Aloy... although, i can't claim the rights to the term...

8:24 am

okay so (insert genre) music groupie....or art groupie or life groupie

8:24 am

go for the gusto!

8:24 am

Carpe diem!

8:24 am

YOUPPI !

8:24 am

I don't like the term kidnapper. I would prefer 'Movie Star recluse facilitator'

8:25 am

lol haz... how's George by the way ??

8:25 am

By all means, Haz, find the terminology that makes you most comfortable!~

8:25 am

LOL, Luc...

8:25 am

George never made it back to his cupboard, Montreal. I am on the look out for someone to replace him.

8:26 am

can i volunteer ??

8:26 am

They say Liam Neeson is in Northern Ireland at the minute. He's originally from Ballymena so it would be nice for him. But, he's not as handsome as George.

8:27 am

What are your movie star credentials, montreal?

8:27 am

Oooohhhhh...

8:27 am

well, i watched i few movies...

8:28 am

And your looks?

8:28 am

a* even

8:28 am

(I'm filling in the volunteer form, triplicate of course)

8:28 am

what do the 8's start with please

8:28 am

not up to me to promote (or otherwise) my looks...

8:29 am

Have you had, or do you have any allergies relating to dogs?

8:29 am

got 1 DI8 pab

8:29 am

May I speak for Luc...he is intelligent, personable, handsome, speaks French and has been an extra in film...Luc is the one in the back of the crowd

8:29 am

Alors!

8:29 am

Annie, are you Lucien's agent?

8:30 am

de8 x2,

8:30 am

thanks montreal

8:30 am

well thank you Annie, very nice of you - and yes, it's true, i tend to move toward the back of crowds... also haz, i HAD allergies to pets but they are gone...

8:30 am

Well, as manager of surveillance I have had to spy on Luc and the facts are as presented

8:30 am

thanks Aloy

8:31 am

If you were in the cupboard under the stairs, would you listen to Country and Western music?

8:31 am

di8

8:31 am

LOL, Annie... so you are working for Haz? Very commendable compilations of factoids on Luc!

8:31 am

slow to find them, pabtrek.. had to scroll

8:32 am

alas... i'm also chained here... claimed by some other female...

8:32 am

Haz.... LOL!

8:32 am

Actually, I am looking for George...will be leaving for Italy soon...I love the villa.

8:32 am

Would your grandchildren enjoy a quick jaunt to Ireland, Luc?

8:32 am

NO NO and NO haz !!!!!!!

8:32 am

That answers my next question, montreal. Do you have any significant others. That was George's downfall.

8:33 am

good answer, montreal.. your rating just went up a notch with Haz

8:33 am

Bravo, Luc!

8:33 am

Annie, that will be a wonderful trip... enjoy the Riviera, too!

8:33 am

So, country and western music a no no. I'll put you on the waiting list. You're up above Kenny Rogers, I'll tell you that.

8:34 am

And Kris Kristofferson.

8:34 am

i prefer to be chained in only 1 place at a time... it's better for my general well-being...

8:34 am

PHone!

8:34 am

Odd answer, Luc, but then, to each his own.. LOL

8:35 am

Being chained is a personal preferance...

8:35 am

my grand-sons would enjoy a trip to Ireland though they don't speak english...yet... 2 of them are going to France this year though...

8:36 am

oddest thing happened while enjoying the chat.. fireworks!

8:37 am

8:39 am

Tuscan cooking is delightful...especially the zuppas, Aloy.

8:43 am

Save your money Haz...

8:43 am

Darn. No instant riches, then?

8:43 am

chucklng away.. POOF

8:44 am

Life is too demanding, Haz... instant anything has its drawbacks..

8:44 am

Yes, that's true.

8:45 am

instant gratification seems to me the "modus operandi" of a lot of people...

8:45 am

I feel sorry for people seeking instant fame. For so many it seems to bring instant misery.

8:46 am

Hello all

8:46 am

bbs - time for breakfast - happy babbling all ! -- "POOF"

8:48 am

Bye montreal and hello peri!

8:49 am

8:54 am

Good that you got it, peri.

8:54 am

8:55 am

i have 87 to find...a full mug of coffee and a bit of time to look

8:55 am

got the lasts one Haz, thanks, stupid word

8:56 am

I'm assuming the fl6/27 has to do with the other meaning of fl* - crafty?

my 8th grade science teacher would quickly glance over my quizzes, then let me use them as the key to grade everyone else's. i sat at his desk at the front of the room - he didn't use it, bc as a science teacher he had that whole big special counter anyway.

12:11 pm

that was a fun reward too, but it's a wonder people didn't hate me for it!

12:11 pm

I was always sent around to help other kids. I never got the teacher's pet label, but I was in a small school, so that helped

12:11 pm

12:12 pm

i had a friend who worked very hard and was grade grubbing, that's what helped me. everyone else disliked her, and they knew things just came naturally to me so i seemed less annoying i guess.

12:12 pm

and i would be the sharpest tee hee hee

12:13 pm

aw, that's too bad caitlyn. are there things you want to learn now that you could go back and take classes in?

12:39 pm

Scarlet was here earlier and predicted correctly all 4 football playoff games !!!

12:39 pm

Your Scottish grandfather was called McMonkey?

12:40 pm

LOL Lil. Good for Scarlet!

12:40 pm

lol Vi !

12:40 pm

Or am I paying the price for coming in mid-conversation...

12:40 pm

LOL vicuna... he's probably flipping in his grave right now

12:40 pm

McMonkey wounds like a new gastronomical treat at McDonald's

12:40 pm

Vic's on today. ***Note to self: don't set up one for Vic***

12:41 pm

i mean, "sounds"

12:41 pm

"and now, for something completely different..."

12:41 pm

The very best time is to come in mid-conversation. You can cause havoc.

12:41 pm

But "wounds" may actually have been more accurate.

12:41 pm

personally i like to wreak havoc

12:41 pm

Ha, you are approximately ten minutes late

12:41 pm

Ooooh, it's havoc time! Mayhem for all!

12:41 pm

*flings poo*

12:41 pm

Ha, Haz. They are the same

12:42 pm

*starts pelting the chat room with pretzels and pinecones*

12:42 pm

haz! There are de 6's today, and Scarlet was right on the football picks, and it's snowing here, and Uni is goofing off, and carlee is sorting socks, and lil can't spell, and Vic is on the ball, and.......

12:42 pm

**ducks poo and begins drooling from the safety of FM's hidy cupboard**

12:42 pm

i just had dental surgery this AM, so i am still woozy

12:42 pm

I answer to just about anything, Uniquity. My dear husband sometimes gets my name wrong.

12:42 pm

gotta go - thank you all for clues and entertainment - happy babbling all !

12:42 pm

check out my stamp, tho

12:42 pm

Did FM say you could hide there, Uni?

12:42 pm

Bye montreal.

12:42 pm

FM loaned me her head last night....I am just...returning it. Yeah. That's it!

12:43 pm

Bye, montreal. Don't let anyone squash your tinfoil fedora!

12:43 pm

a tout a l'heure montreal

12:43 pm

Thankfully the de6/24 shouldn't be too controversial.

12:43 pm

Take care Monty! Watch out for snow

12:43 pm

Well, I guess that's true. Anyone who lends out her head will probably not quibble about a mere cupboard.

12:43 pm

bye all ------ "POOF" (it's NOT tinfoil !!!) - "actual POOF"

12:44 pm

Take care monty.

12:44 pm

(I bet it IS tinfoil, anyway.)

12:44 pm

(How else would he remain so suspiciously immune to the waves of madness that emanate from the Babble grid?)

12:45 pm

Lori & Uni, I had no idea !

12:45 pm

It's the only logical explanation.

12:45 pm

What'd we do? **is good**

12:46 pm

And haz, how are you planning to liven things up today?

12:46 pm

What'd we do? ***Is better***

12:46 pm

just read Uni's bio... did not know you are mom & daughter

12:46 pm

**is best. est**

12:47 pm

**Is more better-er than best-est***

12:47 pm

See how the mention of logic has silenced everyone?

12:47 pm

i like betterierested

12:47 pm

**wins anyway**

12:47 pm

Hmm. Greetings.

12:47 pm

Sorry. *hangs head in shame*

12:47 pm

The psychological deficits don't fall far from the tree do they..... :-)

12:47 pm

Dear Haz, I feel as though Spangle is looking for treats in your photo. Have you given her any lately?

12:48 pm

G'd afternoon Iam.

12:48 pm

Let us not call them defects, Lori. "Intriguingnessess" sounds so much better.

12:48 pm

Is chat having a major lag? I typed something, it disappeared, and it has yet to reappear.

12:48 pm

Hello, Jaye.

12:48 pm

diving back into the grid now *splash*

12:48 pm

wll, if you're looking for an intectual and logical discussion, I'd have to stop typing....:)

12:49 pm

Was it too sensible to make it past the sense-sensors?

12:49 pm

Chat is being odd lately. I have two minutes worth come up in one go

12:49 pm

That's what happens when you don't wear the tinfoil Haz. We tried to warn ya'.

12:50 pm

***Disavows any knowledge of chat lag, and pretends everything's fine here***

12:50 pm

I'll have to get that tinfoil hat on order.

12:50 pm

intectual? I rest my acse. yeesh.

12:50 pm

And, regarding Spangle, she's just had her evening meal so is needing no treats.

12:51 pm

I actually typed intectual. OMG, musta' been the water from lil's dive.

12:51 pm

I recommend an interior lining of activated charcoal for extra protection, haz.

12:51 pm

Happy Monday, Babblers! Could I get a clue for the first de6/21, please?

12:51 pm

heh heh heh

12:51 pm

G'd afternoon Judi.

12:52 pm

Typing is an entirely independent process from thinking, Lori. The silliness of the former is little reflection on the latter.

12:52 pm

I think Haz can help you Judi!

12:52 pm

Uni I think it is time you returned my head before you learn of all the worlds secrets and BTW this cupboard is only big enough for me. Out you go *gentle shove*

12:52 pm

de + the herb, b****

12:52 pm

Thank you Vicuna - I'll only order top quality goods so it pays to know what constitutes the best.

12:52 pm

Good evening all

12:52 pm

And look, FMitch is here!

12:52 pm

Charcoal liner is a nice addition Vic.

12:52 pm

Awww, but FM...I can curl up really small. Tiny tiny! **returns pretty head to rightful owner**

12:53 pm

With cake!

12:53 pm

FM! How's it goin'? Uni's in 'yer cupboard.

12:53 pm

FM! You look so beautiful with your own head back on! (Habbit's really didn't suit you, you know.)

12:53 pm

Hobbits, I meant. Don't make a habit of Hobbit.

12:53 pm

Lori must be silenced. Where is Annie at, I thin she can help

12:53 pm

Lovely to see you :)

12:53 pm

Ty. Fireworkds! What's new in Babble land?

12:54 pm

Congrats judi!

12:54 pm

Congrats Judi

12:54 pm

Congratulations Judi!

12:54 pm

and i am done!! yipee

12:54 pm

Yay for Judi!

12:54 pm

And yay for aknitter!

12:54 pm

Yay Knitter!

12:55 pm

Yay, aknitter!

12:55 pm

And look - FMitch has the Cat of GLory and the Dog of Dooooooom together.

12:55 pm

Congratulations aknitter!

12:55 pm

Congrats knitter!

12:55 pm

takes bow, collects flowers and chocolates

12:55 pm

Oh Haz, haven't seen that pic of Spangle for a while, she looks like she is about to sproing into action!. Yup, have updated Flickr with a few more pics. Congrats knitter

12:56 pm

anyone need a clue or 2 before i go off and fold laaundry?

12:56 pm

Alright. I gotta get ready for my cake course. Sorry to leave the party, but schoolwork calls!

12:56 pm

The picture of Spangle was put up to prove to Uniquity that she's got a back end.

12:56 pm

What is with you people and this housework thing? I can give you some pointers on avoidance if you like. :)

12:57 pm

And I am now a believer, Haz. A pretty back end it is too

12:57 pm

When schoolwork is cake, Uni, you are forgiven for leaving the party to pursue it.

12:57 pm

Later #1, take care and watch the weather.

12:57 pm

Waves to Uni and takes head back before she leaves :)

12:57 pm

could use the clue for sl6,18

12:57 pm

Goodness, Haz! Was Spangles back end in doubt?

12:57 pm

Glad it proved my point, Uni. Enjoy your cake.

12:57 pm

sl 6, the most sneaky?

12:58 pm

Lori they are strange aren't they, housework visits my place infrequently but then with no kids or animals not too messy at the best of times.

12:58 pm

Yes, Vicuna, it was. Suggestions of her not being altogether a real dog.....

12:58 pm

how could i not see that

12:58 pm

kept going to the y

12:58 pm

"A tidy house denotes an empty life."

12:58 pm

I've read about it and stuff, and ehard people talk about it, but I try not to induleg much myself FM.

12:59 pm

do u really believe a tidy house denotes that

12:59 pm

A vision of perfection she may be, Haz, but still, a mounted front half of a dog is not quite the same companion as one that can wag.

12:59 pm

Well...... I like a tidy house.

12:59 pm

One of these days I'll get an animated picture of her!

12:59 pm

Get nana? Cool.

12:59 pm

I like a tidy house, too. But to have one I would have to choose not to do so many other more interesting things.

1:00 pm

a tidy house means no babble butt, lol what i am getting since being addicted

1:00 pm

Talking of which, did you get your work bench sorted out Vi?

1:00 pm

No, don't get nana! Innocent, innocent I tell ya! I meant dod you get it.... (ack)

1:00 pm

I think it's in my genes - the housework thing, but it has got weaker through the generations.

1:00 pm

can i get some clues? I need all the si words , except for the last one.

1:00 pm

I did, and I printed my new picture, too.

1:00 pm

How's the beading going?

1:01 pm

Are they all glued to the keyboard?

1:01 pm

thanks i got it

1:01 pm

tidy house??? that's what you have after the kids move out. I look forward to it

1:01 pm

lol

1:01 pm

si words could find you being kept somewhere you don't want to be (si5/14 and the following si6)

1:01 pm

Wel done Vi, it wasn't beading last night, it was papier mache, lovely gloopy fun.

1:01 pm

si, + wi** animals

1:01 pm

i still have all my kids junk here and more

1:02 pm

my turn on Guitar Hero

1:02 pm

si4/5 - differs from the last si4/5 only in the last consonant

1:02 pm

and grandkids stuff,,,never ever going to have a tidy house,,,clean but not tidy

1:02 pm

I haven't done papier mache since I quit teaching, but a room full of papier-mache-ing 13-year-olds was a wonderful sight to behold!

1:03 pm

ok. don't tell me that, having a clean house in 8 years is one of my few motivations to make it that long

1:03 pm

I can believe it, I haven't done it since school. Will see if the pic I took yesterday is any good brb

1:03 pm

What did you make with your gloopy fun, then, FM?

1:03 pm

The start of a tinfoil hat?

1:04 pm

Ah yes. The classic papier-mache built over a balloon model would be an excellent base for protective headgear.

1:05 pm

last word, sl6,18

1:05 pm

I think so. You could get quite a cottage industry going.

1:05 pm

kc there is a swinging door in this house,,,but i cant say i dont enjoy it most of the time

1:05 pm

sl6/18 - the most cunning

1:06 pm

Or the most Mr Stallone you can get. (UGH)

1:06 pm

thank you Haz, fireworks for me !

1:06 pm

Congratulations!

Yay for lil*monkey!

1:11 pm

You can certainly blame FMitch for this bout of madness.

1:11 pm

You can certainly blame FMitch for this bout of madness.

1:11 pm

You can certainly blame FMitch for this bout of madness.

1:12 pm

You can say that again, Haz! lol

1:12 pm

Hic ups Haz?

1:12 pm

In my defence, it wouldn't take my pearls of wisdom the first time....

1:12 pm

Wow, FM, that's really cool. What is the tiny skinny base made of?

1:12 pm

Your creation has something of Belleek about it, FMitch, it's a lovely shape.

1:13 pm

A plastic champagne flute which is now covered with the gloop. Couple more layers to do and then seal and decorate.

1:13 pm

Haz -- Spangle is down right regal in that icon

1:13 pm

Fun fun fun! =D

1:14 pm

HI all

1:14 pm

1:18 pm

Well Spangle is lovely........and Mitch, I was referring to your use of babble words! I now think I know what an "etui" is.

1:18 pm

I had to spend 40 mins queuing to get out of a car park this afternoon as there was only one exit - cona you believe it!!!

1:18 pm

Ah yes the babblets, I keep meaning to update it with some more.

1:19 pm

40 minutes??? Yikes.

1:19 pm

brb

1:20 pm

That must have been frustrating - too bad if you had been in a hurry.

1:21 pm

My thoughts exactly but as I wasn't just went with the flow, wel with the snail like crawl :)

1:22 pm

If you'd been in Switzerland, you'd have had to keep switching your engine on and off.

1:23 pm

LOL I did at one point ans we didn't move for 20 mins.

1:24 pm

What was the hold-up - apart from there being only one exit?

1:24 pm

back from lunch, help with the de6,24?

1:24 pm

That was it - the only reason as far as I could see 1 exit and too many people trying to leave at the same time.

2:31 pm

2:32 pm

Hi, all! Flask, DE+ what a sloth hangs from in the trees... or what our pets have that we don't.

2:33 pm

de+ the dog wagged its ****

2:33 pm

Ok thanks!....and Hi to Scarlet...[hugz]!!

2:33 pm

(Note to Scarlet: sloths don't have much in the way of ta5, and they hang from their claws! lol)

2:34 pm

You are so right, Vi... I am thinking of the oppossum... *making notes in self improvement*

2:35 pm

lol, Scarlet! If that's your greatest need for self-improvement, you're in good shape! =)

2:35 pm

You are sooooo diplomatic, Vicuna! LOL

2:36 pm

Well, I can't see either sloths or opposums being too offended...

2:37 pm

But, it is unfair to cross the species, especially when Babbling... they have an underground spy system, I understand... LOL

2:38 pm

There may be nothing more terrifying than rampaging oppossums and three months later, the sloths will catch up...

2:38 pm

Possibly, possibly. The inias, tenrecs, and nene keep an eye out for everyone else, I suppose.

2:38 pm

But I LOVE the tenrecs... maybe they could put in a good word for me...

2:38 pm

Scarlet!!! What ya' thunk 'bout that there "other" Manning? Go Pats!

2:39 pm

de8/55 please?

2:39 pm

G'd afternoon, again, Babblers!

2:39 pm

2:39 pm

Hey Flask!

2:40 pm

Hi, there, Lor! How's about a Green Bay/New England Super Bowl?

2:40 pm

Awww... we agree Vi!!

2:40 pm

Hi, Une!!

2:40 pm

Man, i dunno' I have alraedy exceeded my quoate for hearing Favre.....

2:40 pm

I even knew what they were before they first appeared in the grid, and felt all smug and pleased to recognize them.

2:41 pm

tenrecs? That's a lot of crashes. Must be on the autobahn.

2:41 pm

Me too, Vi! Now, alas, the world (at least in the Babble zip code) knows too...

2:41 pm

hey, scarlet!!

2:41 pm

ha ha, Lori!

2:41 pm

Lori, he is the one really good story this year... and as much as I love the Jints, they deserve it!!

2:42 pm

I'm 'spectin' an (ack) Giants vs Pats game. Who knows though.

2:43 pm

Lori: this will be the last time I mention this: I picked all four of the winners this weekend, and I DO NOT GAMBLE... but my beloved is in awe of me...

2:43 pm

Was nice to see the Colts go away. Booing that young girl that won the pass, kick...contest. Booing her for being sponsored by the Pats was beyond the pale. Disgusting.

2:43 pm

And all the talking heads on ESPN, FOX and CBS chose, unanimously, all the other teams to win!

2:44 pm

LOL Scarlet, I was duly informed of your Scarlet the Greek-ness. Well done!

2:44 pm

Really? Who spilled the beans, Lor?

2:44 pm

I can not reveal a source. There's an amendment fo rthat, though i can't recollect which one....

2:44 pm

It must be those very angry sloths that Vicuna sikked on me...

2:45 pm

In CANADA?

2:45 pm

*sicced*

2:45 pm

vicuna has a dark side. :)

2:45 pm

*sicked*

2:45 pm

*fooey... told on me*

2:45 pm

Nope, citizens don't need protectin' in Canada. When someone wants our opinion, they give it to us!

2:46 pm

I am taking that from the source, Lor!~

2:46 pm

Hahhaaaaa.

2:49 pm

***Boy, can I kill a room or what.***

2:49 pm

Oh, I leave th room to put on another sweater, and the minute my back is turned, Lori's talking about my dark side. Sheesh.

2:49 pm

I think it's the football talk, Lor... we seem to be the only two women here who really enjoy it...

2:50 pm

No she wasn't Vicuna... Honest, she was, er... speculating about Darth Vadar...

2:50 pm

And Scarlet, I'm the one who was warning you about the sloths so the wouldn't get angry with you!

2:50 pm

Oh Vic's still here? Er, cough, I thought you'd left.... :)

2:50 pm

DARTH VADER?!?! Okay, I think you wanna taste of my dark side. Arise, storm!

2:51 pm

North winds blow!

2:51 pm

Every time you say sloth, I think you're referring to my housekepping.

2:51 pm

Lightning, stwike the wabbit!!!!

2:51 pm

***Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit...***

2:52 pm

Wow.... somebody really pi**ed off Mother Nature...

2:52 pm

(Oh curses. I've given away that my dark side is no more than Elmer Fudd.)

2:52 pm

Why do I have several bunny corpses on my lawn now...?

2:52 pm

Anyone want to clue the ge 4/11?

2:53 pm

I'm a Bugs Bunny han from the days of 1 channel.

2:53 pm

use the points, sallyds.

2:53 pm

ge 4 is an exclamation similar to yeesh, but different

2:54 pm

It's a dumb word, sally... use the high-point tile

2:54 pm

ah, i know i didn't ask.. but thanks, lori

2:54 pm

Good clue Lori, thanks.

2:54 pm

yvw scv. Is there any other psychic help I can bestow upon thee? ;-)

2:54 pm

i wouldn't have found it until i went to the list

2:54 pm

I thought I'd tried every possible way to do that to no avail.

2:55 pm

*Tosses Lori's old turban she used to use when traveling with the Barnum & Bailey*

2:55 pm

Sorry about the bunny corpses, Scarlet. Please don't tell Babbler. I don't want her to be upset.

2:55 pm

im just working through anything i can see right now before i try tracking everything down

2:55 pm

***psychic Lori predicts day will be followed by night. Will she be right at $4.99 a minute?***

2:55 pm

Mum's the word, Vi... but, man oh man, can you whip up a storm!

2:56 pm

lol :)

2:56 pm

*sings* What have I done... I've killed the wabbit... poor wittew bunny, poow wittew wabbitt...

2:56 pm

***proudly dons turban, but now wonders why she can't see anything***

2:56 pm

**psychic Lori also predicts that she will finish this grid** And that's a freebie!

2:56 pm

psst, Lori, push it up ABOVE the eyes

2:57 pm

Lori, quick, Vicuna is fading fast... she's curled up in a fetal position, sucking her thumb and humming... bemoaning the loss of invisible bunnies...

2:57 pm

***Oh. Thanks Vic. (blush) But I knew you'd say that!***

2:57 pm

Fireworks, thanks guys.

2:58 pm

Of course you did, Lori. Of course you did *soothingly*

2:58 pm

**pondering why the great psychic couldn't figure out how to WEAR the danged thing**

2:58 pm

***sneding Vic psychic healing vibes, free of charge***

2:58 pm

Yahoo for sallyds!!

2:58 pm

SNEDING? What tomfoolery is this!?

2:58 pm

2:59 pm

Hey I said I'm psychic, not a typist....

2:59 pm

Please, not in public, Vi.

2:59 pm

But you knew you'd mistype, so you should have checked it.

3:00 pm

Now Scarlet, don't be squamish.

3:00 pm

Vi is holding a large mirror to bounce healing vibes back to you, Lori/Karnak...

3:00 pm

Boy o' gosh'n man. You people are amazing. Vic has been in A-1 form all afternoon. ***fears the power hidden within Vic***

3:00 pm

squamulous, squeamish, whatever

3:00 pm

Hahaaaaaaaa

3:00 pm

Squamous cells are not nice.

3:00 pm

***snickering***

3:01 pm

***Chunky-ing***

3:01 pm

Oh yes, Lori, you are right to fear the power. Because I am a fully operational battle station.

3:01 pm

Oh yah! Well i have a 1-800 number, and I'm prepared to use it.....

3:01 pm

I can hear you trembling, Lor... Heed the words of the All-Powerful One...

3:02 pm

(Actually, I'm a pacifist. But having spent the afternoon electrocuting innocent bunnies, I felt I may as well just go all-out.)

3:02 pm

3:02 pm

3:02 pm

***<Chocolate Overdose HelpLine Here, How may I help the woman in the upper provinces?>***

3:03 pm

Hi, Ata... she has been destroying entire regions of the globe this afternoon...

3:04 pm

Scarlet started it.

3:04 pm

well, really, Vi!

3:04 pm

I was trying to preserve the precious rain forest ecosystem by defending the honor of sloths.

3:04 pm

every firework(s) helps Scarlet

3:04 pm

All manner of weaponry.

3:05 pm

FM notwithstanding, it's all Scarlet's fault.

3:05 pm

Wait a minute... where the heck is FMitch when I need her?

3:05 pm

Glad to hear it, beth!

3:05 pm

Well, as hard as I have laughed, it's abck to the mines. Cookies and a apple pie done,w hich i hope will make it until at least tomorrow, and the meatloaf won't make itself. :(

3:06 pm

Yay for bethn! (only a little late)

3:06 pm

If you ever do find a meatloaf that makes itself, Lori, my advice is to RUN!

3:06 pm

holy cow. Maybe some typing practice after supper. Yeesh. Y'all have a great afternoon, eve!

3:06 pm

Chili and bread made now, Lor... that's why I can goof off a bit... enjoy, dear!

3:06 pm

Bye, Lori!

3:07 pm

What happened to your typist... Victim of psychic friends' network?

3:07 pm

thanks for clues and goodnight to you all!

3:07 pm

Well, really it was Scarlet who invoked Darth Vader. the best I could muster was Elmer Fudd. *sigh*

3:07 pm

So long, Flask... have a wonderful evening!

3:08 pm

Goodnight, Flask.

3:08 pm

There seems to be a bit of the Tower of Babel going on here today...

3:08 pm

oooo. well, go scarlet!

3:08 pm

Tower of Babble?

3:09 pm

Yep!! LOL

3:09 pm

That looks like a happy place for Hobbit to be, Ata.

3:09 pm

mudflats! ohhhhhhhh yes!

3:11 pm

Well, I feel that I have made a good day's contribution to the general mayhem. Who's going to be next?

3:12 pm

Ata, Hobbit looks as though she is checking her artwork as she dances through the damp sand... asking, "What do you think... a touch more ecru?"

3:12 pm

Vicuna, actually no one can touch your mastery... I am certain that something will inspire you to even greater heights...

3:13 pm

How nicely put, Scarlet. I mean about Hobbit.

3:13 pm

Awwww... thank you, Vi.

3:13 pm

lol yes, apart from it was gloooooooopy mud

help on de6/21?

3:14 pm

Gloopy is more fun... I am a touch green... being able to walk your dog along the ocean's edge...

3:14 pm

There are several, thebanddork. Any idea which you want?

3:14 pm

yes, its a real privilege that I take full advantage of

sorry 'bout that...the first de6/21

3:15 pm

It must be invigorating... no matter what is happening in life, you will go outside and inhale the salty air, and watch your much-loved dog enjoy it as much as you do... maybe a bit more since she gets to make sandart...

3:15 pm

my first de6/21 - de + "-- - -ay dying" by Faulkner

3:16 pm

te

3:16 pm

Spectacular clue, Vi!

ooooh thanks...great clue, too

3:16 pm

Glad you appreciated it! lol

3:17 pm

thats absolutely right, scarlet. the beach always cheers me up, whether its pouring down with rain or bright sunshine. Its just so wonderful seeing Hobbit enjoy herself so much

3:17 pm

You are one very fortunate person, Ata, as is Hobbit.

the book or the clue, Vic?

;)

3:18 pm

To be honest, I don't much care for Faulkner!

***ceases lurking and returns to meal prep***

3:55 pm

3:56 pm

Yay Chrissie! I have a finishing mate now! **parties through the fireworks**

Yahoo for Uni upon finishing this grid from her hidy cupboard... how does she do that?

Well done, Chrissie!! ARe you in Uni's cupboard too?

3:57 pm

ooooh. on a roll with the de's! they just started coming to me. lol

3:58 pm

Uni felt the need to express an opinion to that one - The original 3 star wars were so ground breaking and brilliant story telling - admittedly the recent ones were not too great and xmen was way better in comparison to the recent ones

3:58 pm

hello all!

3:58 pm

hiya

3:58 pm

Lol Ema

3:58 pm

my darling anakin ...

thanks Scarlet, got to scroll back now to find out why Uni's in a cupboard ...lol

hallo all!

3:58 pm

I have never seen the new ones, saw the old ones when I was a young girl. I was not interested then, but may be if I take another look at them some day. I have always liked the Xmen though!

3:59 pm

LOL, Chrissie... it is of her own volition... so conclude what you will.... LOL

3:59 pm

Poor FM, I have let her secret cupboards be exposed to the world! Hey STID!!

3:59 pm

hello TEA!!!! *hugs friend and pulls out cookies and lemonade for tea party*

yummy, lemon cookies to go with the lemonade, I hope?

3:59 pm

**provides cheese**

maybe ema would like to join her in the cupboard to escape her distress

4:00 pm

It is soother, although there is still a bit of a puddle from my drool this morning.

4:00 pm

And by soother, I really meant soothing.

4:00 pm

Hi, stid... here's some chili for the more ravenous among us...

4:01 pm

yup! with cream filling!!!! *daintily grabs handful*

I'm hoping I get to spend some time, the kids are in bed with dad, hopefully all three are asleep. There are no sounds coming across the baby monitor.

I spoke too soon!

Did anyone else get red lines of doom just then?

4:01 pm

I would definitely rather be in the cupboard rather than here at work trying to source a solution to my woes .. but hey at least I have company now ...

4:01 pm

Silence is golden, or so they say!

4:01 pm

4:09 pm

Uni hugs

4:10 pm

Plagarism is such an ugly word. I prefer uninvited taking.

4:23 pm

6:03 pm

I hope you are enjoying Babble. Won't be long and you will be addicted like the rest of us. :)

6:03 pm

usually i have at least 100 left lol

6:03 pm

Kazozz - we tend to use wet fish for any self-flagellation that goes on in here. Frozen fish sometimes...;-)

6:03 pm

Here lately, I am lucky to get to the halfway mark

6:03 pm

darn life keeps interfering

6:04 pm

Here are some fish to replenish the stocks ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º>

6:04 pm

lol Jac...its so cold here, probably have to be frozen

6:04 pm

what lovely fish, Jacula

6:04 pm

oh how cute

6:04 pm

where do you live, Kaz?

6:04 pm

I'm in Nevada, but originally from the UK

6:05 pm

Have you been in the states long?

6:05 pm

Nevada's hot as hell in the day, or so my kids tell me (of the desert). Cold at night though, I guess. Where in UK, Kaz?

6:06 pm

12 years :)

6:06 pm

I haven't been to Nevada before but I hear it is a nice place.

6:06 pm

not in the mountains Jac...I have 3 feet of snow outside my door and it hasnt been above freezing in weeks!

6:07 pm

But it is beautiful

6:07 pm

Goodness, Kaz! Have you left your house in those weeks?

6:07 pm

lol, through the garage

6:07 pm

hubby ploughed :)

6:07 pm

just not to the front door lol

6:08 pm

You'll have to go pro and get a flickr account so you can show us, Kaz. (I have a flickr a/c but lost my pics link to here.)

6:08 pm

Where in the UK did you live, Kaz?

6:08 pm

I was trying it first Jac, but I'm fairly addicted so I probably will

6:08 pm

I'm an Essex girl, but spent last 10 years there west of London near Windsor

6:09 pm

Well, Kaz, it's not too much money for a lifetime's membership and the advantages being 'a pro' (not in the UK sense!) give you.

6:09 pm

Ah, 'a Southerner'!

6:09 pm

I'm a 'Midlander'.

6:10 pm

lol ur a good salesperson!

6:11 pm

Perhaps I'm on commission from Dr_God. (I wish!)

6:11 pm

Do you sleep during the day Jac lol?

6:11 pm

you could be rich Jac

6:12 pm

It's only just after midnight here, Kaz. But I am a nightowl (as you can tell my my 'net nick'. I work from home.

6:12 pm

Mom - I could!

6:13 pm

and you could babble all the time and forget about work

6:13 pm

Anyway, does anyone need any clues for the grid?

6:13 pm

te 7 and tr 7 please

6:13 pm

me but i'm trying to work out what ones lol

6:13 pm

69 of them Jac, but wouldn't know where to begin. Thanks, though

6:13 pm

you were here at 3.00am the other day Jac, which is why i asked lol

6:13 pm

Sidra - te7 = plural of what's on my icon pic.

6:14 pm

how embarrassing to miss that one!

6:14 pm

thanks

6:14 pm

tr7, Sidra, is a triangular piece of material atop a sailing boat.

6:14 pm

I never would have gotten that one alone, thanks

6:15 pm

To break that tr7 down... 'attempt' + the sort of boat I need to go to the penalty box (PB) for describing so fully.

6:15 pm

de 7/32 i'm missing jac

6:15 pm

Plural or verb form of the de6/21 before it, Kaz.

6:16 pm

**give Jac yummy treats while in the PB**

6:16 pm

(Thanks, Mom. xx)

6:16 pm

you're welcome :)

6:17 pm

Hello all Again, back for the third time trying to complete!

6:18 pm

You want to know what's going on? Ley me give you all the de7/32.

6:18 pm

{{{{{Redturtle}}}}}}} hi :)

6:19 pm

*let, not 'ley'. LOL

6:19 pm

Hi, RedTurtle.

6:19 pm

thanks Jac, didn't have any of those.

Ho is everyone?

6:19 pm

I think i need more fish lol...i just cant get it

6:20 pm

just fine, Redturtle, and you?

Doing pretty good...getting over my culture shock some...

6:20 pm

Kaz - de6/21 is not the 'hate' word but a word that means all the little ins and outs of something, or the bits on an outfit (like pearls stitched on or the like).

6:20 pm

kaz -- de + what a dog wags

6:20 pm

I'll try another tack - de6/21 - chop off a dog's wagger.

6:21 pm

Hi Jili

6:21 pm

what kind of culture shock, Redturtle?

6:21 pm

Hi, Jilli.

6:22 pm

6:22 pm

6:22 pm

Hope that red turtle isn't doing any snapping!

Nah, just wrestling withthe grid, it and I are not so delighted today..

6:23 pm

Holding breath... not good, Kaz. B R E A T H E

Maybe I should try snapping?

6:23 pm

Let me get my fingers out of the way first, red.

6:23 pm

lol ty i needed that

ah you take all the fun out of it jac...

6:23 pm

red, I believe there is a snapping turtle babbler...

6:24 pm

LOL, red.

Ah!!!

AE 5,12? I have the second one.

6:25 pm

not online just now, though, but you'd better watch out!

6:26 pm

ae5/12 -- malaria mosquito

I will monitor my snapping appropriately Jili...Actually I want to go pro when I get a paycheck (soon) but I was thinking of changing my user name...

6:26 pm

ae5/12 = ae + little Mr. Tutu, Dekker or O'Connor.

anopheles?

6:26 pm

maybe it's yellow fever

6:27 pm

yep, yllow fever or dengue

I got it. I think it is one of the malarial skeeters, there are a few...it was a good clue Jili, and another good one from Jac. thanks

6:27 pm

Think of Bishop Tutu's first name and shorten it for the bit after the 'ae'.

6:27 pm

good evening, babble friends - how goes the grid tonight? looks dreadful

6:28 pm

Hi JBV :)

6:28 pm

Hi, JBV. I found it a nice easy grid.

Hi JBV! I am not loving on the grid, as they say.

6:28 pm

Jac last se 4/4 and i'm ready with the frozen fish!

6:28 pm

JBV, the monkeys are kept busy but do seem to find things

6:28 pm

Kaz - where a badger lives.

6:28 pm

well, I'm jumping in for a while without consulting Lickety's list - let's see .......

6:29 pm

Hi all...just went to the list with 59 to go. Yuck.

6:29 pm

JBV - I got down to 18 without the list. Only consulted it then 'cos I had things to do. You CAN do it!

6:29 pm

the last se4/4 is what you do to a table with an extra last cons.

6:29 pm

Hi, Krista.

6:29 pm

{{Krista}} hello

6:30 pm

i thought that was a burrow lol

I went to the list at 65 words, Lazy I spose...

6:30 pm

You got the final se4 now, Kaz? (Sounds like what a jelly eventually does.)

6:30 pm

that's good news, Jac, thanks for the encouragement

6:30 pm

what's the list?

6:30 pm

No, Kaz. Rabbits live in a burrow or a warren.

educational as well as entertaining Jacula.

6:31 pm

wow this one is ea 4,6. In fact, I am doing it quite ea 6,24. Of the 2 I have seen so far, this is the ea 7,28. After yesterday, I am glad today's is one of the ea 6,18.

6:32 pm

ooooh, strange...my 'M' is not grayed out, but Lickety's says I have them all!

don't rub it in UDb!!!

6:32 pm

thanks, UDbmas for the 7/28 - didn't have that one

6:32 pm

Just trying to give a creative string of clues... LOL

6:33 pm

The list, Noelle, consists of the first 2 letters of each word in the grid followed by their letter length and points value. One is provided by Lickety and the other (the original) by BrandyJack).

It was a good string!!! ;)

6:33 pm

I just "sent words to Babble" and that grayed it out, but never had that happen.

6:33 pm

Noelle, the list is Lickety's Babble Clues. Open a new window, get Babble up again, scroll down to Friends of Babble, and voila!

6:33 pm

Nice one, UD!

6:33 pm

very good, UD

6:33 pm

Oh Thank you

6:33 pm

ok slap me with a frozen fish and give me the idiot needs help clue!

6:34 pm

6:34 pm

If you want BrandyJack's list go to 'Babblers Anonymous' link, 'General' tab.

6:34 pm

6:34 pm

6:34 pm

how about just some brandy?

6:34 pm

6:34 pm

><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> (for Kaz)

Oh I feel silly, I had been misspelling se 6,24 all day no wonder i couldn;t get it.

6:34 pm

Lickety's is a bit more helpful because you can enter your words into it and see what you're missing and where

6:35 pm

perfect Jac lol

6:35 pm

you'll get them, Kaz

6:35 pm

oooo nice fish jac!

6:35 pm

Ea6/24 done, red!

6:35 pm

Oh, Cat is summoning her servant...back soon

6:35 pm

6:36 pm

See you, jilli.

6:36 pm

tc ji2l's

Bye Jili, pay our respects to his/her majesty

6:36 pm

What was that, UD??

6:36 pm

ok I need help with last 2 ge words 4/6 and 5/14 please

6:37 pm

jilli (2 ls)...saw somthing earlier about typos...

6:37 pm

nm guessed em lol

the 5,14 is feathered friends

6:37 pm

Kaz - 'to obtain' + first vowel is the ge4 and the 5 is the plural.

6:37 pm

sorry kaz...still on eds

6:38 pm

i've never seen some of these words lol

6:38 pm

ge4/6 (last one) is a Japanese clog.

6:39 pm

first de 6/21??

6:40 pm

de 6,21 is to hate something

6:40 pm

the devil is in the ... singular

6:40 pm

Kaz - the 'Babblets' (words most of us learn on here and may never have the chance to use in any conversation other than on here) will soon become second nature to see and to find.

6:41 pm

have the devil one and the hate one

6:41 pm

Jac u totally confused me lol

6:41 pm

We even have our own volcano here - 'etna' (the Sicilian volcano).

6:42 pm

de6/21 is de + plus what dogs wag

6:42 pm

Sorry, Kaz.

6:42 pm

then plural

6:42 pm

got that one thx kristin....must be one more that i dont have :(

6:43 pm

Hi Kristin

6:43 pm

sorry, i'm not working on a list, that was my first one :(

6:43 pm

hi mom

6:43 pm

The first de6/21 = de + the last 4 letters of Mr. Fawlty (from Fawlty Towers) name. Or think of a herb for the last 4 letters.

6:44 pm

Kaz - I don't always make it easy. I don't believe in spelling words out until the last minute.

6:45 pm

go figure... I just sat down.. finally home from work... thought I had an hour before I had to start hubby's dinner, and now I'm being asked to pick up daughter - she "hung out" after school today.

6:45 pm

thank goodness i remember fawlty towers...great clue and got me fireworks !

6:45 pm

never would have found that without u!!

6:45 pm

~~~~~~Congrats Kaz~~~~~~~~

6:45 pm

seems to work that way LadyNatts

6:45 pm

*Begins oldie saga... In the old days on here, the only stats we had were how many words were to be found. There was none of that list stuff and fancy fireworks etc. We had to do it all for ourselves by hard work. * LOL

6:46 pm

Well done, Kaz!

6:46 pm

now i can go cook dinner! gl all and c u next time! Thanks again Jac

6:46 pm

ok gotta google fawlty towers . . .

6:46 pm

*sighs*... oh well... back later, I guess

6:46 pm

LadyNatts - That's life!

6:47 pm

bye bye Kaz, nice to meet you

6:47 pm

me too Kristin

6:47 pm

kristin - You should watch Fawlty Towers. It's brilliant!

6:47 pm

tc kaz

6:47 pm

'Bye, Kaz. Nice to meet you and well done on finishing.

6:47 pm

got it.

Bye Kaz

6:49 pm

Jac I googled it, not sure we have it in the US, but thanks for the clue!

6:49 pm

Can I just add to the 'oldie' rant that 'I'm 83, you know!'

6:49 pm

I haven't seen it here on our TV stations

6:49 pm

83 my foot!

I don't think we get the Fawlty towers in the US, the pretty much play oldies like "As time goes by" on PBS, which I love...

I like Judi Dench

6:50 pm

I love As Time Goes By

Me, too!

6:51 pm

LOL, I'm not really. I've pondered WHY old people feel the need to announce their age and the only reason I can imagine is that when you get over a certain age you wake up each morning, surprised to still be here, think, 'Blimey! I'm still here and I'm 83 (or whatever) and so you can't help telling people.) Yes, I know I will be punished for this satirical cruelty should I ever reach old age.

6:51 pm

Anyway, 'Old' people are always at least 12 years older than your own age!

Mom, can you explain your avatarpicture?

6:51 pm

let's hope we are still here at 83 and so is Babble

6:51 pm

you are my age Jac.

6:52 pm

I am a Blackadder & Top Gear fan

6:52 pm

it is a snowman's funeral RedTurtle, he is in the bucket they are carrying and his family is behind the procession

6:52 pm

Yup, Mom. We're both half a century old.

6:52 pm

mom that is too funny!

6:53 pm

and another half century to go

6:53 pm

Heck, Mom! We've clocked up 100 years between us!

6:53 pm

thanks Kristin

6:53 pm

yes, we have.

ahhhhhh.Ikeptthinking they were carrying thebucket as a way to honor it, like when they carry kings...Sometimes, I can be dense!

6:53 pm

Fawlty Towers comes on late nights sometimes here in NYC...On ch 25 and the PBS channels. It may be on BBCA also.

6:53 pm

you are not dense, Redturtle

I s hould probably not contirubte to TV discussion. For this contract I forgoed the Television.

6:54 pm

redturtle I wasn't sure what it symbolized either until she explained it, then it made perfect sense

6:54 pm

Cheers Jac & Mom...I just joined the half-century club last month!

6:54 pm

UD - If you've seen Fawlty Towers, my favourite episode, though it's hard to name a favourite, is the Gourmet Night (where Ba*** bashes his car with a branch.)

6:55 pm

I like the rat episode

6:55 pm

Congrats UDmas and happy birthday

6:55 pm

TY TY

6:55 pm

evening, all!

6:55 pm

can I have a clue for the single "i" word please

must go get the dog, whohas decided to bark and bark and bark. He might be cold I think...

6:56 pm

never mind

6:56 pm

hi everyone

6:56 pm

Hi Pam

6:56 pm

Congrats, UD. Many Happy Returns. Having a December birthday must be tough. So many 'This is your Christmas and Birthday'' presents. GRRR. (Stepdaughter is a December baby.)

6:56 pm

hi Pam and jac

6:56 pm

i need help with the eg words, can't seem to find a single one

6:56 pm

and anyone I missed

6:56 pm

6:56 pm

going to be in and out

6:56 pm

Hi Andree

6:56 pm

Have you just 'done a peri', kristin?

6:56 pm

hi, praise

6:56 pm

Hi Praise

6:56 pm

supposed to be hosting a chat tonite on another site

6:56 pm

Congrats all finishers

6:56 pm

Hi, pam and praise.

6:57 pm

My quilting teacher was born on Christmas Day

6:57 pm

hi mom

6:57 pm

hi, andree

6:57 pm

yep, if only it worked on the other 91 words I need

6:57 pm

Hi, Andree.

6:57 pm

could someone tell me why my words arent found in the puzzle...almost every word I find, it isnt in the puzzle

6:58 pm

the letters have to connect Corey

6:58 pm

ahhhh....

6:58 pm

thanks

6:58 pm

the letters have to touch the next in line

6:58 pm

oopd.. I am redundant again

6:58 pm

I totally didnt understand that

6:58 pm

Corey - are you trying to do the grid in Swahili, perhaps?

6:59 pm

gotta scoot off here and do something not as fun but productive. (putting the dishes away)

6:59 pm

pleasant dreams and {{Hugs}} to all

6:59 pm

tc Mom!

Corey, there was a nurse friend of mine trying to play last night and she had the same trouble

Good Night Mom, Hugs to you too!!!

6:59 pm

bye bye Udbmas

6:59 pm

bye mom

6:59 pm

night Redturtle, thanks for the hug

6:59 pm

good night Praise

7:00 pm

Mom - I'd say get the kids to do that. Problem is with others putting kitchen stuff away is that they never put it all in the right place and then you get frustrated looking for it later.

7:00 pm

I dont speak swahili, and there are no Thai characters in the puzzle, so english really was my only option

7:00 pm

no kids home to do that :(

7:00 pm

night, mom!

7:00 pm

good night Pam

7:01 pm

bye mom

hi Pam!

7:01 pm

Red, how was the ER last night? Quiet, I hope. (Don't worry, all, red is a nurse.)

7:01 pm

Aw. Mom. Empty nest. ((HUGS))

7:01 pm

night Kristin

7:01 pm

Corey - Ah! Well, can you spell like 'Enable' does?

7:01 pm

kristin did u get the i word clue?

It Was very nice. Maybe a bit too quiet, as by 4 we were all very sleepy...

I even got to babble in the first 20 words or so...

7:02 pm

not all the way empty, just working. Will be empty sometime in February though.

7:02 pm

Yes bean, thanks for checking

7:02 pm

who's enable?

7:02 pm

ok

7:02 pm

Seriously, Corey, the letters have to touch.

7:02 pm

oh no, I know that now...it is just like Boggle...

7:02 pm

I didnt realize that it was a rule

7:02 pm

thanks for the hug, Jac. night

7:02 pm

I should have read them first haha

7:02 pm

Enable is the dictionary (about 2 or 3 editions out of date) that this puzzle uses for its words.

7:03 pm

clue for the de8 please?

7:03 pm

Corey - before you try, you can't flip the grid around.

7:03 pm

glad it went so well, red!

7:04 pm

de8/55 is what Inspector Morse or Poirot, or Sherlock Holmes did.

7:04 pm

no, i know. It really is just like boogle, except I think you get more letters.

me too, still feeling a little sick, so a quiet night was helpful...

7:04 pm

no, i know. It really is just like boogle, except I think you get more letters

7:04 pm

de8/50 means 'hated'.

I love Morse and Poirot...

7:04 pm

de 6 24 with a suffix

7:04 pm

ty jac and Tanja

7:05 pm

got that one Jac

how was your day Pam?

7:05 pm

I swan, I never look in the right (correct) direction, LOL

7:05 pm

7:07 pm

help with ea7/28 please

andree this is the EA***** grid ever (not) but makes a good clue

7:07 pm

Andree - ea7/28 = the simplest to do.

7:08 pm

easiest

7:08 pm

thx jac and red

7:08 pm

sorry

brews tea for the penalty box...

7:08 pm

red I have the one that's ly + s4/4

7:08 pm

ly6 = ly + 'To satisfy'. ly7 = plural form.

7:08 pm

Ly6/7 are ly + content

7:09 pm

Afternoon everyone

7:09 pm

don't have the other, if there is one...

7:09 pm

hi, moon

Thanks you all!!! I got it.

7:09 pm

Hello Moon Woof.

7:09 pm

7:11 pm

7:11 pm

Hi, Moonwoof.

7:11 pm

Actually I suppose I cant really blame Harbringers of the inevitable... Good to hear. Apparently hugry =)

7:12 pm

anyone have a clue for fl 6/27 ?

7:12 pm

Hiya Jac! Nice bear.

7:12 pm

I love that name! It sounds like a puppy out in the garden for the first time at night.

7:12 pm

Yes, moon. He's cheeky, isn't he?

7:12 pm

You're a better clue for te7 than lingerie!

LOL Jac...I just had to bring in my puppy for woofing too much...

7:12 pm

Thanks, moon!

7:13 pm

Sadly Jac, that's how many people say I act lol

7:13 pm

jbv - stupid word, add a letter to the 5/16 above it to make "the most"

7:13 pm

JBV - Shaft was the fl6 cat on the block

7:13 pm

fl6/27 is the most untrustworthy.

7:14 pm

I like my version better lol

kristen I swear that word and when Phat is in the grid make me think the dictionary really needs an update...

7:14 pm

Failing that, fl6.27 sounds like some wrong Shakesperian word for what birds do.

7:14 pm

lol, moon. thought that should have a y, though.

7:14 pm

LOL Nice Jac

7:14 pm

jac, seriously that is what the word means?

7:15 pm

Well... Only the hippest for Shaft and "y" are so Done...

7:15 pm

thanks for all those clues - I needed ALL of them before landing on this strange word!

7:15 pm

hey anyone have a hint for se6.24

7:15 pm

is there another ly, besides the ly + content?

7:15 pm

kristin - Yes. It's like a 'spiv' was in WW2.

7:15 pm

guess you are right, moon!

7:15 pm

It's the superlative version of the word Fly.

7:15 pm

fl6/27 is not in the enable dictionary

7:15 pm

Hi gbup

7:16 pm

I liked the Staft clue but I was looking for the y

7:16 pm

hey

7:16 pm

It has to be in Some version of it, Python...

7:16 pm

hi, gbup

yes pam there is a ly 4 and a ly5 its sort of a chemical term for breaking apart

7:17 pm

ok, thanks, red. I will go a monkeying...

7:17 pm

se6.24 = what the south did before the Civil war

gbup, I don't have the wrod, I'd like a hint too.

7:17 pm

texas also se7d from the US

oh, oops, I do have it. I keep spelling that one wrong!

7:17 pm

Oh, and before anyone asks, in WW2 a 'spiv' was the term for the guy (a bit like Del Boy from 'Only Fools And Horses') who sold stuff, no questions about where it came from, on the Black Market.

7:18 pm

oh yay!

7:19 pm

Was that a good movie, Jac? I never saw it...

7:19 pm

got the ly's--thanks

I would have clued them Pam, but I didn't really know how.

7:20 pm

Moon - 'Only Fools and Horses' was a long-running comedy series here in UK.

7:20 pm

(Google it!)

7:20 pm

no worries, red. I guess I would say rhymes with head nits...

7:20 pm

Ah, ty... Sorry. I never really watch TV, but I'm looking for a couple of new movies to watch while I work..

7:21 pm

Oh Duh. Sorry Jac. I just never think to do that... ty for the reminder.

7:21 pm

I have a huge collection of films (moves), moon. How come you can watch films while you work?

7:21 pm

*movies

7:21 pm

However I was more interested in your opinion of it and I dont think I'd know how to google that lol

So jac, do you have a collection of moves too?

7:22 pm

I'm self employed, and alot of it I can do without looking, nowadays... Been at it a while.

7:22 pm

moon - my opinion of 'Only Fools and Horses' (especially the blow-up doll episode) is that the whole series was hilarious.

7:22 pm

I do, Red. I do!

7:23 pm

help withse6/24 please

7:23 pm

I just make sure that I get to the end before I have to look at whatever lol

cool!

7:23 pm

One can't get to half a century without having a collection of moves.;-)

7:23 pm

Ooo. There's a blowup doll episode? Ok, I'm in. I'll look for it.

7:23 pm

roflmao, moon!!!!

7:24 pm

I bet LOL I'll have that to look forward to, now, also

7:24 pm

LOL, Moon.

7:24 pm

Andree - there is no se5/14.

7:24 pm

My grandpa has some of The Slickest moves... I hope to not Just admire him someday, but to channel {{grin}}

7:25 pm

there are 2 ge 4/7's - I have one (either turn left or turn right, can never remember which) but what's the other one????

7:25 pm

Se6.24 = to part from an alliance or union

7:25 pm

Jac perhaps that is why she asked for the 6/24 . . .

7:26 pm

ok, I guess this is a "Peri" - maybe should be renamed a "JBV" - I just found it!

7:26 pm

thx moon

7:26 pm

the other JBV is also a plural of the high school grad equivalency test.

7:26 pm

*Cleans specs*

7:27 pm

Oh, Jac, please... My Grandpa was ancient when you were 30 lol

7:27 pm

But I'm taking notes so keep going...

7:27 pm

any other clues for se6.24? i'm drawing a blank on moon's clue..

7:27 pm

thanks, moonwoof - I guess my secret is to ask for a clue, then it just pops out at me!

7:28 pm

I'll keep that in mind before I answer next time {{grin}}

7:28 pm

I'm one of 'The Ancients'? No wonder I love SG-Atlantis (most especially Ronon Dex!. LOL

7:28 pm

se6 = se + c4.6

7:29 pm

I cannot believe that the de8 was the last one I de8

7:29 pm

ah! thank you!!

7:29 pm

Note to self: Jac is a very sensitive girl

7:29 pm

LOL Congrats Natty! And evening =)

7:29 pm

ty moon and hello to you :)

7:29 pm

Indeed I am, Moon!

7:30 pm

And Just to show you I can learn, I'll google Ronon Dex =)

7:30 pm

Ooo. Wikipedia first try.

7:31 pm

I shoulda known from the fuzziness of the bear =)

7:31 pm

Moon - he's so handsome you'll not be back! LOL. *Little does Moon know that I use his pic to distract other Babblers from finishing the grid.*

7:31 pm

I can see how! Nice eyes....

7:31 pm

Thankfully I'm finished LOL

7:32 pm

I'm a total sucker for eyes and thighs...

i wish i was done i am at 86....

7:32 pm

Yeah, you got it, moon. Nice eyes, nice... ahem! This is a famil site. Anyone need grid clues?

7:32 pm

You're over halfway, Turtle. You can do it!

7:32 pm

*family

*raises hand*

ty moon. clues for any ed words

7:33 pm

TO - we KNOW you fancy him. It's okay to just drool. Do you want me to put my icon pic of him up again?

7:34 pm

Both ed words have to do with whirlpools or Mr. Cochran.

jacs - about WHOM do you speak?

7:35 pm

ed's are as follows water current + past tense, ed4 of a knife+past and plural, the most of a knive and irritably

wierd, i must have misspelt earlier!

li6.27 please?

7:36 pm

Ronon Dex or, the Hawaiian actor Jason Momoa, TO.

7:36 pm

OOh, prissy TO!

never heard of him.

7:36 pm

pots are often li6.27

7:36 pm

li6/27, TO, is things with tops on, past tense.

7:37 pm

Hi, all. I'm a Jason Momoa fan, too, Jac.

de5, 6, 7 in a row? please?

7:38 pm

I just googled, him, myself, TO, and a.) he's pretty b.) many people have a lot of time on their hands and write on Wikipedia

ty hj=for the earlier cllue

7:38 pm

Hoya Jellen

hi jell

7:38 pm

Refresh (press F5) to see Jason.

before to discern?

7:39 pm

the 5,6,7 arent all related. The 5 is a plural of the 4 and the 5/6 = "the devil is in the de6s"

7:39 pm

oops. that shoulda been 6/7

7:39 pm

Hi, Jellen.

7:39 pm

7:41 pm

good evening, all

7:41 pm

7:41 pm

Hi, nat!!!!!

7:42 pm

7:42 pm

ok, thanks moon - I got one - are they anagrams of each other?

7:43 pm

Ok... In moy older age I've also begun to appreciate 6 packs that aren't beer, also.

7:43 pm

grrrrrrr, nat. That is just bogus.

7:43 pm

I don't get the Desmond reference.

7:43 pm

unfortunately it was a book on cd that was on the moving truck when it was stolen--and they want $165 for replacement.

7:43 pm

LOLOl, moon....

7:43 pm

an abbreviation, perhaps, for desmond...

7:43 pm

Nat, what book?

7:43 pm

No, JBV the next is past tense

7:44 pm

ae + ***i Arnez

7:44 pm

The Golden One, a mystery novel by Elizabeth Peters

7:44 pm

Ouch Natasha that sucks.

7:44 pm

Got it, thanks, pam, Jac, and moon

7:44 pm

didn't get the diamond but htanks for the clue

7:44 pm

yw, jellen

7:44 pm

$165 for THAT? It's not rare.

7:45 pm

Jellen - if you knew someone called Desmond, I doubt you'd keep on calling him that, You'd shorten his name.

pleaase some one put me out of my misery and clue me ge4/11

7:45 pm

thanks, I have them both now - just wondering - how long do you have to play babble before you stop seeing BRAND NEW words for the first time?

7:45 pm

I know--I could buy myself a copy for $40.

7:45 pm

ge+vowel+what comics write to represent sleeping

7:46 pm

grumble. I didn't even remember that it was on the truck. If only they'd tried to contact me first, but NO they send it to collections. I'm swearing softly to myself right now.

7:46 pm

de 6 /21 the first de ?

7:46 pm

TO you'll probably say this aloud when you get it - ge 4/11 is the same as 4/7 and 4/6 but ending with the bottom right corner letter

7:46 pm

Library editions are more expensive than commercial editions--that's why library budgets don't go far enough.

7:46 pm

that just burns me, nat...

7:46 pm

Well, if you go out and read a dictionary J, not long lol

7:46 pm

think I'll save the last 20 for after I make hubby's noodles

7:46 pm

But I dont really recommend that. They have lousy charachter development.

7:47 pm

you should let them know that you don't appreciate being sent to collection--I would inform the board on down...

7:47 pm

I understand Jellen--I'm more upset that they didn't even try to contact me

7:47 pm

First or 2nd ruru?

ty all - for the clues. i must turn in, hip is awful tonight, i ouldn't even go to work. see you later

7:47 pm

last 2 se words please, 5/10 and 4/4

7:47 pm

please

7:47 pm

That does stink, Nat.

7:47 pm

numero uno por favor

7:47 pm

Moon - I met my 'newish' (nearly 5 years now) Other Half before I found Jason Momoa. The two are not dissimilar re the eyes, the look in the eyes, the colouring, the general manner. My Love isn't thin at present, but when he is he looks just as good and, to be honest, even when he's not thin he looks good to me.

7:47 pm

although I'm also peeved (not really at the library), that not only have I had to replace EVERYTHING that I own, but now I have to come up with $165 for this thing.

7:47 pm

have a good night, TO. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

7:47 pm

I have been known to read a dictionary from time to time - this is probably the only place in the world I'd admit to that

7:47 pm

Why are library editions more? Many Libraries buy from us--we are cheaper than the publisher--and they are the identical cookbook that we sell to the general public

7:48 pm

Si senor. Uno 6.24 = what Shelock of Poirot did.

7:48 pm

the library editions of books on cd come in reinforced clamshells. not sure why the discs would cost that much more.

some library eds have reinforced covers etc for wear and tear...

7:48 pm

uh moon... come on?

7:49 pm

Dont'cha hate that? You go an marry a perfectly good guy and then WHAM you find this Other guy...

7:49 pm

I don't know, except some companies have replacement policies for damaged/lost discs.

7:49 pm

ge4/11 is an expletive that profounds the name of Our Lord and ends with the last letter of the alphabet.

7:49 pm

you'd think they could cut me some slack for the fact that it was stolen

7:50 pm

Seriously... Sherlock and Poirot were sleuths... also know as de6ives...

7:50 pm

*rant mode off* .....deep breath.

7:50 pm

oh, i didn't realize about the clamshells...

7:50 pm

moon - it happens! But it happens to us too, afer childbirth.

7:50 pm

I need the first one.. have those thanks though

7:51 pm

can you send them a copy of the police report and make arrangements? Or, do collection agencies no longer make arrangements

7:51 pm

I know. Life is an ever changing thing. but Dern it anyway.

7:51 pm

Oooo. sorry ruru. That one's a homynim of semi truck fuel

7:51 pm

I contacted the library and they are going to remove me from collections, but I still have to pay the full amount

7:51 pm

More Pho-en-et-ic

7:52 pm

Also, as a former slimming class tutor (now dodging her former pupils if they've kept the weight off), it's not all about the body size and shape! That only matters where health is concerned.

7:52 pm

Migraine alert, migraine alert. How is your brain, Pam?

7:52 pm

that just stinks, nat...

7:52 pm

Scrabs!

7:52 pm

bingo that was it

7:52 pm

It's not a bad thing to read dictionaries, JBV, but I'm serious when I say I think thats the only way lol

7:52 pm

thanks moon

7:52 pm

It is not as bad--i.e. not a migraine--as I thought it would be. low-lying ache

7:52 pm

bbl

7:52 pm

I've been known to read the dictionary from time to time.

7:53 pm

yw. Sorry it took a moment to scroll Higher =P I'd forgotten that one.

7:53 pm

How is yours, scrabs? You know, you and stid get headaches at least as often as I, yet you "yell" at me all of the time to go to a doc...

7:53 pm

Cya ruru!

7:53 pm

Pam- time to either finish the grid fas or go to bed and avert the migraine.

7:53 pm

I have too, nat, et.al. In more than one language...

7:53 pm

my old housemate and I used to play a game where we would randomly select three words a week from the dictionary and we had to work them each into conversation once a day. Twas fun and vocabulary building.

7:53 pm

Well, I think it won't become a full-blown, thanks, jac.

7:53 pm

We have had snow all day, so maybe this is a weather headache.

7:54 pm

fun, nat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:54 pm

pam, I didn't know you suffered from migraines. that stinks.

7:54 pm

Mine was definitely nor'easter related!

Still headachey Pam??

7:54 pm

I love reading dictionaries too, also in other languages. Nerd alert, nerd alert!

So sorry.

Hi Scrabbs

7:54 pm

I would have felt it was fun, natasha, until I got stuck with "zooglea" Then I might draw a line lol

7:54 pm

we were supposed to get 4-8 inches and got a dusting of snow here. school was still canceled, for what reason I cannot determine

7:55 pm

Oh, yeah, nat. sinus--exacerbated by a cyst--and weather-related. And, the occasional dang-it-all migraine for migraine's sake....

7:55 pm

One nerd joins another, Scrabbs.xx

7:55 pm

LOL, moonwoof

7:55 pm

Pam, it seems you take more medication than me--big gun stuff.

7:55 pm

They cancelled, in all likelihood, because sometimes, they don't cancel and get screwed... 7 inches here

7:56 pm

We have approx 6 inches so far and it is still coming down.

no real snow here, but cold as many things.

7:56 pm

yeah, but the forecast was changed at 3 (which I know thanks to insomnia) and they canceled at 6.

7:56 pm

Could I have a clue for the last de 6/21, please?

7:56 pm

Despite my lady-diverting icon her, can |I clue anyone for grid words?

7:56 pm

Oh, scrabs, i see.!!! I take the aleve without the big gun 5 out of 6 times. But when they eyes cross, or the hormones act up, too, i take it...

7:56 pm

Jacula---I love being a nerd. I am also a dork, a geek, and a doofus.

7:56 pm

Nerds of the world agglomerate!

a hateful word Pam.

7:56 pm

oh, that stinks Nat!!!!!!!! The forecast change issue and the insomnia!

7:57 pm

Great word, moonwoof!

I meant A hateful word for Jellen!!!

7:57 pm

That sounds kinda nasty, moon. wE DON'T WANT THE 'NORMALS' CHOLING TTO DEATH, DO WE?

7:57 pm

my kids still found enough snow to build a bunch of snowmen--a snowman horror house, a la Calvin and Hobbes.

7:57 pm

The last one Jellen, is another word for hate

7:57 pm

*choking

7:57 pm

Yeah. But only nerds ever get it lol

7:57 pm

Thanks, red!

7:57 pm

cute, nat!

7:57 pm

and moon

7:58 pm

you know, red, it is there without being there. The kind I don't even bother taking the ALEVE for let alone the other stuff...

7:58 pm

Nat - my kids thought they wer being 'daring' when they built a snowwoman with 'boobs'.

7:58 pm

yes, the snowman flattened under the sled of another was quite funny.

7:58 pm

Oh sure we do, Jac. As long as they're not the normals that fix my truck... I want to keep those so I'll give 'em earplugs.

7:58 pm

Evenin' all. Any clues for the de5/12?

7:58 pm

your kids sound hilarious, nat!!!!

7:58 pm

LOL Jac. my kids are just crazy.

7:59 pm

hi, candy

7:59 pm

it's funny - reminds me of when I was studying for a spelling bee as a child - my mom told me to read the dictionary and I didn't want to, then I lost the spelling bee on a word that began with "b" - never lived it down!

7:59 pm

last two.... ed6.27 and li6.27... any helpful hints?

7:59 pm

Nice with the sled. Wish I'd thought of that one.

7:59 pm

de5/12 is the pural for the Scots devil.

7:59 pm

oh, that's sad JBV.

8:00 pm

ed6.27 is past tense of a water current

8:00 pm

ed6/27 = whirlpooled?

8:00 pm

not really - we all laugh about it now - and of course, I never forgot how to spell "bifurcate"

8:00 pm

tr7?

8:00 pm

hm.. thanks.

8:00 pm

li6/27 - containers had tops.

8:01 pm

and li6.27 = tops of pots past tense

8:01 pm

dan, waiting for that too - my last word

8:01 pm

tr 7 = attempt + a sheet on a wind powered boat

8:01 pm

And hiya

8:02 pm

8:02 pm

Ty for clues

TY Moon

Hello Dan

8:02 pm

Childbirth jelllifies the brain, then you fin yourself amid the lack of sleep, and then they keep on asking questions and, eventually, your brain 'goes'. You do get it back.... eventually.

8:02 pm

yw .

8:02 pm

fireworks thanks to moonwoof (and dan) - thanks everybod

8:02 pm

8:05 pm

I've always been 120watts nut.

8:05 pm

8:05 pm

See you, Pam.

8:05 pm

8:06 pm

Putting your brain in a box in the loft/attic could be very handy, if it was possible to do.

8:06 pm

120 watts in an energy saver world...yep, that's you jac, frying the motherboard

8:07 pm

y/w, candy. For whatever it was.

8:07 pm

8:07 pm

Need to seek food. Brb.

8:08 pm

Donuts are kinds round but empty in the middle... But the Best donuts have nuts or sparkles or chocolate. And the lame ones are just plain.

8:08 pm

I thought that's what your icon was for Jac lol

8:08 pm

they'll notice you alright, like the the californians notice the block that still has power

8:08 pm

Past tense of se5/10 before it, Andree.

8:09 pm

phone...brb

8:10 pm

Yup, nut, the icon stops the girlies from finishing the grid (which helps my ranking). No idea what your mean about the Californians and power.

8:10 pm

Shut your face you stoopid Yank!

8:10 pm

8:12 pm

thx jac, i am also missing se5/10, maybe the one?

8:12 pm

Nut 'I fart in your general direction'.

8:13 pm

I know =) I could tell because you spelled "stoopid" so seriously. I was instigating. I'm terrible that way {{grin}}

8:13 pm

Adree - add 2nd vowel to your se4 before it.

I meant 100 words, not watts.

8:13 pm

HA, i blow it a moonwoof with a big big BIG fan

8:13 pm

O O I hear an elderberry line coming...

8:13 pm

Moon - when nut, ren and me and some others get together you have no need to intigate.

8:14 pm

Or even instigate.

8:14 pm

no jac have that one

8:14 pm

Dern it. Sometimes that's the best fun. Fine I'll jump in next time =P

8:14 pm

i infiltrate

8:14 pm

I exacerbate.

8:15 pm

so i need se6/21 and last 2 se 5/10 and se 4/4, i am tearing out my hair over these last 3

8:15 pm

Infiltration is very sneaky, Nut.

8:15 pm

careful, careful

8:15 pm

And then i say Ta Ta cause now I'm hungry and need food lol

8:15 pm

not when it's my fart doing the infiltrating jac

8:15 pm

exacerbation sounds dirty but isn't, it's still a dirty trick though.

8:23 pm

I was once on a game site wher the lad and the girl who'd hooked up obviously didn't realise how to to 'private chat' and so they'd kept on in public chat, thinking no one could see them. My Other Half and me were ROFLOLING.

8:23 pm

11:01 pm

Ooh, ooh, I do!

11:01 pm

*adds chocolate bundt cake to plates*

11:01 pm

All of the Z words refer to names for the letter

z4, one of the Greek letters

Hey Everyone - I need a few testers in lickety chat right now if there are any Expert users out there.

11:01 pm

mmm. I LOVE Jill's cooking! (so do the stidkids!)

Do you have the first ea7? Take away the last letter.

11:01 pm

TY Dr for the non fattening variety of cake. Yum

11:02 pm

11:03 pm

I didn't think it was a word either, red.

11:03 pm

you are so welcome Red

11:03 pm

nobody wants my choc bundt cake? OK, I'll have it all to myself, so there

bundt cake? yum!

11:04 pm

we were testing the new lickety chat, Jill. It's almost as delicious as your bundt cake!

11:04 pm

Thanks for the cake, DR. I'd take a piece of Jilli's cake, too.

yay 4 left!

11:05 pm

11:05 pm

11:05 pm

I could'nt get in to Lickety Chat

11:05 pm

mememe Lickety!

11:05 pm

i am getting sleepy, good nite everyone :)

11:05 pm

rofl... I KNOW Jill! but you find the nicest treats!

Lickety I don't think I have babble expert, sorry.

i thought this was lickety chat. no, huh?

11:05 pm

sweet dreams helen! thanks for the help!

11:05 pm

Jilli- Sorry to step on your cake toes.. I didn't see your post..

11:06 pm

I can get in to Lickety Chat but it keeps disappearing

11:06 pm

It opened Babbler's profile instead.

Jellen - oh no - wise I knew why?

11:06 pm

Jill -- meet me in lickety chat?

11:06 pm

Oh -- I'm talking about Lickety Add, dumb me!

11:07 pm

Can't get Lickety Chat -- will refresh

the pair of ge 5,14's?

11:08 pm

one is a big white bird red

I have that one, they can be mean...

11:09 pm

Nope, as with Jellen, I get Babbler's profile and icon themes

11:09 pm

Yes they can

11:09 pm

there is the big non-turkey holiday bird and the same word with a consonant instead of the vowel at the end

11:09 pm

Jellen just made it in Jill -- wonder what's up?

TY for the consonant, I have the bird...

11:10 pm

Claiming moral victory at halfway...goodnight all

11:10 pm

I'll try shutting Babble down and starting it up again

Goodnight Douglas, pleasant sleep to you.

11:11 pm

gnight Douglas

I am not thinking is there anything i can help with

11:11 pm

5 left

now licketys says I am done and babble is asking for 2 words. Hmmm

11:12 pm

hello people!

11:12 pm

G'night, Douglas

you can help me eat bundt and b day cake herin

Red you may have to delete lickety cookies

11:12 pm

sweet dreams douglas! see you again soon!

11:12 pm

Okay, started up again and got Lickety Chat open but it's just a big blank

Ok Is it your birthday?

hi boreetos

no DR was serving B day cake. I dunno who has a b day.

Jill the theme is games before the computer age

Hi Boreetos

11:13 pm

hello boreetos

weeee, found all the 8s

11:13 pm

No the bday cake is left over from my sons birthday Herin

11:13 pm

Hi, boreetos

11:13 pm

Herin -- refresh to see mine!

11:13 pm

BOREEEEEEETOS!!!! *munches on nacho chips* where you been? you got snow up there? we got a light dusting, right before the sky cleared.

11:13 pm

a bit of snow, yeah.

11:14 pm

yeah it's been a while.

11:14 pm

why are you on this time of night? new work schedule?

11:14 pm

unfortunately, for tonight, yes, stil lat work. :(

11:15 pm

oh piffle. That hardly seem fair...

11:15 pm

almost out though, just waiting to lock up.

Jill you always amaze me with your life stories

11:15 pm

long life, lots of stories, herin!

THat are fascinating

11:16 pm

that's good. drive safely home, friend. roads might be a bit dicey --especially on the hills and out a bit from the city

11:16 pm

tr7 please?

11:16 pm

yours will be too, herin

Jill i really wish youd write the stuff down

11:17 pm

thanks, I'll be extra careful. I'll be sure and put down either my cell phone or my coffee.

11:17 pm

rofl... or BOTH!!! *shakes mama head ruefully*

11:17 pm

at least make sure the coffee isn't scalding hot when you start driving. Thet could be ouchy

coffee, nice.

11:18 pm

tr7= attempt + cloth attached to boat to make it move

11:18 pm

:)

11:18 pm

way too late for coffee anyhow.

11:18 pm

good clue jellen... hi jes!

now I feel so silly, I have finished, on likcety, but I cant find 2 words I am missing for the babble grid...

11:18 pm

drive minus both, boreetos!

11:18 pm

thanks jellen.

11:18 pm

refresh, red!

11:18 pm

true enough. coffee this late could jsut keep you up until it's time to go in to work again

Red you may need to refresh

11:19 pm

and nobody wants that.

11:19 pm

oh red...

i DONT HAVE BABBLE EXPERT, SOOO

11:19 pm

Jellen -- did I jsut log out of the lickety chat?

11:19 pm

red -- what letter(s) are you missing?

11:19 pm

No, stid.

11:20 pm

do you know?

11:20 pm

stid, when you and the boys visit we must play the game in my profile

lickety list untick all the boxes and delete all the words

sorry somehow I am having my dog do the typing and e likes all caps, I wish he would lay down!

11:20 pm

LIE down!

I love the game in your profile Jili, fascinating to me.

11:21 pm

It just said you left the chat, stid.

but his command oddly is lay...

11:21 pm

that looks excellent Jill! we have several versions, but not that one, obviously!

11:21 pm

full of memories for me, red!

Red hate to tell you this chickens lay humans and dogs lie

11:21 pm

okay, then I guess all you do to leave is "Hide lickety chat" same green button

Red drop is a good one. I love 'park arse' for sit

11:22 pm

it shouldn't be, red -- but I'm a maniac on the subject

11:22 pm

stid, I just get a blank in Lickety Chat -- why?

yes, but my dog learend Lay down, and so that is what I use.

11:22 pm

You've got it, stid.

At least he drops

its ok he also does not respond to No, but to "eh eh eh" which works wonders..

11:23 pm

geese might lay down, chickens lay eggs

11:23 pm

yes, very difficult to change a dog's command structure. Tom keeps trying make Lucky "drop" the ball, but he knows "put it" ... *sigh* dog is smarter, methinks

11:23 pm

JILL!!! WURD!!! *points sternly to penalty box*

Red that is cute

He's a golden, so obedient but he is a bit big and wierd....yes strange about dogs.

11:24 pm

goldens are lovely -- smart but airheaded. strange combo

11:24 pm

oh, yes!!! More cake in the sin bin?

My friend speaks Sloviki to her 4 dogs. Thats amusing

at this point if anyone is missing that word....its a gift. * goes off to figure out what the heck she is missing...*

Teulu is a goof. (the dog that is)

11:24 pm

yes, I think so, also whipped cream if you are so inclined, and I think I saw some nice liquers in there too

Teulu does know Mira mira, for look....

11:25 pm

slurp *running to penalty box for choc cake & kahlua

11:25 pm

good evening, all :)

11:25 pm

strangely, all the german shepherd dogs I have known have responded readily to german commands... setzt! bleib da! genetics perhaps?

Red you would have loved the black lab they had on the telly. He lives at Bear House a children's hospice. He lies onto the gravely ill childs bed. Even though that is 'bad dog' behaviour he just knows when the end is near

11:25 pm

I also have a batch of dark chocolate covered toffee, Jilli

11:25 pm

WHY is my Lickety Chat blank???

11:25 pm

hello nan!

11:25 pm

lovely combo, jill

11:25 pm

Hi, nan!

11:26 pm

alright I'm out, good to see you all briefly.

Jill no idea

11:26 pm

goodnight all!!

11:26 pm

oh Jellen! may I come live with you? *wipes drool off keyboard*

11:26 pm

drive safely boreetos! come back soon!

11:26 pm

I closed Babble Expert and restarted, jilli.

11:26 pm

Bye boreetos -- drive safely!

11:26 pm

28 words while I was here, I am rusty!!

11:26 pm

Bye, boreetos!

11:26 pm

So did I, Jellen!

drive safely bor, coffe is ok...cell phone not so much.

Drive Safetly Boreetos

11:27 pm

:) thanks all. goodnight, and I'll try and be back before 6 months is past again.

found one. finally. in the d's

11:27 pm

brb

11:28 pm

go red go!!!!

11:29 pm

Think I'll go for a cup of coffe and a Godiva, before the flip :)

11:29 pm

Jill -- did you just pull the bar over for the chat? try hitting F5

11:29 pm

that will refresh the chat (I think)

11:29 pm

good idea nan!

Hey. Have to sare

http://tinyurl.com/2egoml

11:31 pm

oh -- and when the chat opens, there is a little oval in a gray background. you type your name in there and hit enter and the chat loads...

11:31 pm

LOL lady!

finally fireworks. somehow those 2 little 3 leeter words got lost! in lickety but not in the puzzle!

now. I might as well wait for the flip.

11:32 pm

Yahoo for red!

Just when you thought your fresh dry cleaned pants were safe talented kitty trashes your clothes

11:32 pm

YAY red!!!! ...*****BOOM!*****... .....z zzZZZIP!

redturtlehead - do you run windows? If so - send me an email - I have something to make your life much simplier

11:33 pm

Lickety -- the new chat doesn't have a list of who-all's logged in, does it? that was a nice feature of the last chat.

Ha ha! I do, I have the evil vista. Thanks Lickety...you shall recieve some sort of email soon!

11:35 pm

do you like vista?

that's true stid - price you pay for more room I think

I use vista at work

Lickety thanks for you expert it saved my butt today. Also suggestion can a 'delete all ' button be inserted at the bottom incase you have a woopsie and cant figure out the missing words

11:36 pm

well, I really should head out I think ((((hi harp!))))

I have no knowledge of systems. It is what came ont he puter, never had a problem with it. But, I don;t use it a lot.

11:36 pm

I have to be up early-ish tomorrow again. See you-all soon!

hi all

bye stidmama - thanks again

11:36 pm

Bye, stid

11:37 pm

Hi, Dee

lady - delete all - yeah I suppose so - cool

11:37 pm

anytime, Lickety. Love to mrp!

11:37 pm

hi/bye dee! *fades out in daze of tiredness*

I mean what if you have put all the words in but babble says you are missing one that kinda thing

Also i know nada about programing so that was a though

lady - just send words to babble

Lickety, btw, I really appreciate all of your help!!! You make babble even more fun! Thanks alot.

thank you again volley - I notice every time you thank me!

mmm my pc doesn't like that idea

btw - there is a new lickety chat - if you want to try it out I'm there.

cuz I really, really appreciate you!

what is a lickety chat?

lickety, I did just now send you an email...sorry my grammer isn;t great, I am after all from the south.

In Babble Expert - an alternate chat

Redturtle - check your email

one of these days I'll have to email your for babble expert ... lol... after tax time

i have a huge email from you lickety...

I will be trying it out...though I am not computer savvy so I am bit afraid to...

11:42 pm

Evening everybody.

volley do you do taxes? or just your own?

hi moon

volley - it's free

11:43 pm

If you mean Babble Expert, it's Real ea4.

ty lickety... does it run on windows 98 (still have an ancient computer)

11:44 pm

Seriously, Turtle. Easy, even for a beginner like me.

11:44 pm

Hi, moon

So excited people. I get paid on Friday. If I have any money left, I can go pro...

I thought B.E was for prodom only?

No herin, its for all who ask.

just ours turtle, but do books at church, so will have year end things there to gather

11:44 pm

ooo. Jellen, I love your kitty's markings. Very pretty.

11:45 pm

{{{applause for Pro Turtles}}}

One set of taxes is usually too much!

11:45 pm

Thanks, moonwoof.

amen to that

Yes, We shall see what the paycheck looks like...new contract, may hold some surprises.

well shit me so much for what i thought sigh

11:46 pm

I'm terrible at that stuff. I had to get an accountant after my first year in business for myself. I got SO confused.

Jellen, I just drove through Oklahoma, the people were so friendly , I am amazed! I am thinking of trying to do a contract there just cause they were all so nice.

11:47 pm

And calling the IRS and saying "I'm an artist, Jim, not a math wiz" got me no chuckles.

anyone have the tr7??

11:47 pm

What did I miss? I see Lickety was here

yes the tr seven...

11:47 pm

If you drove I-44, you passed right by me.

11:47 pm

yes, Gwen. tr7 = attempt + a sheet on a wind powered boat.

make an attempt plus the thing to help a boat.

We use an accountant, but hubby is self-employed, so I have to gather all info... I want an expert to look over everything.

POUNCE HUGS MOON

I was on I-44 Jell...

11:48 pm

tr7= attempt + cloth attached to boat to make it move.

ty moon. another silly word for my silly word collection 8-)

11:48 pm

When I hit Hide Lickety Chat, nothing happens

tr 7 was a new word for me

11:48 pm

Dern it! Kitty slobber! Blech

Interesting country. though I 44 is somewhat uh, expensive!

11:48 pm

Hi woof -- did you get my emails?

11:48 pm

Hiya herin. {{scrapes off a kitty like attachment.}}

i've driven through oklahoma. way more interesting than ohio LOL

volley - should work

11:49 pm

I did and i replied, Jilli. Did you not get them?

good to know ty lickety

11:49 pm

Can you even go thru OK without hitting the I44?

Lickety what are we to tell others now about babble expert?

11:49 pm

yw. Gwen

you can drive i 40...

11:50 pm

not yet, woof, but haven't looked lately

well, kids, i'm cutting out for the evening. enjoy the filp for me! *poof*

11:50 pm

Well there should be an accidental 2 there =)

11:50 pm

If you're going north and south, you use I-35. East-west, I-40.

lady? not sure what you mean

11:50 pm

G'night, Gwen

11:51 pm

Lickety!!! Why is my Lickety Chat blank? Why when I go to Hide Lickty Chat does nothing happen? I have refreshed and closed Babble and got it up again -- nanda!

good Night Gwen.

11:51 pm

I think she means what should she tell someone who's interested in it if they're not a Pro member..

11:51 pm

Niter Gwen! Sleep sweet.

jilibus - can you send me a screen shot?

thing is that there is a message on licketys page to email him if you want to test it, it never had to do with being pro or not.

the message has been there for months.

Never mind. Excuse me i am going to take a photo of a cat being a bunny

11:53 pm

I never noticed that, myself. By the time I get to Lickety's page I'm too busy trying to figure out how dumb I am, today lol

11:53 pm

um, I dunno, Lickety -- will try but not sure how -- what is it -- Shift + PrtScn?

11:53 pm

Alt + Shift + PrtScrn

Moon, I love your cootie. I got my nephew cootie for CHristmas...but they hate to play it as a game they just like to put it together.

11:53 pm

Oops... Make Alt the Ctrl instead.

11:54 pm

Ty turtle. It was my favorite. =) Only thing I could focus on long enuf to call a game lol

my guess is 262

11:55 pm

then go into Microsoft paint and hit ctrl-v to paste it in there.

11:55 pm

brb. Going to get a snack before the flip.

11:55 pm

Hmm. I'm hoping for a 300-is. I have tomorrow "off" =)

11:55 pm

Cya soon Jellen

cool moon

I have tomorro off too, but errands to run... Maybe say 269?

jilibus - that's it. I have an idea - it's Flash related again.

11:56 pm

moon has cooties!!!

11:56 pm

hi peeps!

11:56 pm

Ok. We can compromise... Sadly tho, I have no influence over DrG.

11:57 pm

I Do Fran. Who knew?

11:57 pm

And Good evening.

Hi Fran!

Lickety -- screen shot is not working, sorry

11:59 pm

I would send you pictures of cacti and sunbathing... But I hate to gloat. =)

11:59 pm
