hi lynxxx!

may I lend any help before I leave?

1:14 am

congrats volley well done

lol jili

1:14 am

hi lynxxx

ty lore and all

1:14 am

I found a little bit of musical notation in the grid...

1:15 am

volley clues for the 8s most welcome. i have none of them and only one seven.

1:15 am

now that there are two residents of OZ here I must ask them if they are scared of Canada

1:15 am

yw volley take care see you again soon

1:15 am

that must be why you were falalaing before

1:15 am

so lore and lynxxx, have you heard about it?

1:16 am

no jilli no i havent jilli

one co 7/8... think of wearing away by a chemical reaction

1:16 am

what did we do Jilli? I'm not scared, Can & Aust seem to have a lot in common and all the Canadians I have met have been great.

other 7/8 co combo just requires one vowel change

1:17 am

yay! found the em7, 7s greyed out

1:17 am

apparently the Australian Travel Bureau or something has warned Aussie not to travel to Canada because the the extremes of weather, tornadoes, and terrorist dangers

def of ph 8 = pertaining to or based on the observable similarities and differences between organisms without regard to assumed genealogy.

1:17 am

the British Commonwealth jilli? dont tell me you are breeding anticanetoads antedotes

1:17 am

Actually, I was fa la la ing because I heard a song sung to the tune of "Now is the month of Maying"

1:17 am

oh gee thanks, dee

1:18 am

awe they say that about most countries i think our own backyard would be more dangerous than Canada

1:18 am

jilli, that reeks of an email prank

1:18 am

That really helps, dee

1:18 am

Really?! My daughter will be dissappointed but i don't think she would take any notice

1:18 am

volley i have read that ph word but would not know how to spell it at all. ty anyway.

1:18 am

It's on the TV news, fran

yw... ph looks like word pertaining to sounds with a vowel change

1:19 am

how funny jilli

yw all... hope it does help

1:19 am

I found some Brylcream in the grid...a little dab'll do ya...

1:19 am

Jilli - you will probably find that they issues warnings about all countries

lol I LOVED the smell of Brylcream when I was a kid

1:20 am

douglas, just use an antimacassar so your chairs don't get po7

1:20 am

well, at least they didn't say Canada is boring!

jili I am ignorant... what happened?

1:20 am

takes me back that brylcream can still remember the smell as well

1:20 am

see 1:17, dee

1:21 am

thought it was Brylcreem

wonder why they felt compelled to do so jili...

1:22 am

well its usually to take the focus off something else not sure what that would be though???

1:23 am

Jilli well it wouldnt put me off Jilli have wanted to visit Canada since i was a small girl and oneday i will get there

Jilli - I just looked at the SmartTraveller site - that warning re terrorism is pretty standard on all the 100s of countries that have been covered. Actually the warnings around NZ look worse. The Govt site just gives an overview of most countries as advice for Australian travellers

I haven't seen you in ages, JoSo. Did you see my emails?

2:26 am

Morning JFB

2:26 am

lore, Bunbun is finally showing signs of bonding with me, and being affectionate, which has been nice. Still very skittish, but 2 years in a cage will take time to recover from.

2:26 am

got one sprite, haven't checked e-mail recently

2:26 am

mrp is probably still unpacking

2:27 am

true that, fran

2:27 am

Hi JFB, Joso

2:27 am

hi jfb!

2:28 am

I was kinda scared you were mad at me, JoSo. You going through rough times?

2:28 am

Sprite, my parcel tracker say's Mr P got her parcel, do you know if that's true?

2:28 am

i'm trying to decide whether to buy the place i'm in now, or move closer to the city, as i think i'd rather. Have some monhts yet to decide. Here would be a bit cheaper, but i'll consider and see.

2:28 am

Anyone attack the grid yet?

2:28 am

yes, marmar, slow going for me.

2:28 am

i have 19 left mary, lore is almost done

2:28 am

hi ma - you know its the weekend when we are both on in the morning!!

2:29 am

2:29 am

JoSo: yes it is true! Her son was really very happy with it!

2:29 am

no problems here Sprite, sorry to bad feelings, just got boted with this game

2:29 am

We've got 50 so far and I hit the wall. Strangely enough, we have all three K's.

2:29 am

2:29 am

2:30 am

2:30 am

ah, ok JoSo. Hope you can get to answering my emails soon, so I can fulfil my promises.

2:31 am

hi JFB

2:31 am

moved his litter box out of the cage, so he's using it again instead of marking the carpet; the cats can't get to it now.

2:31 am

Glad her son likes them, kind of the whole point of the execerice.

2:31 am

okay i only asked as if a unneutered male he would have your lip off .. like all animals once they trust you will give you unconditional love ...

2:32 am

exactly, JoSo. MrP is in the midst of moving, so that is probably why she hasn't yet contacted you about it then. She is literally unpacking now.

2:32 am

he's been gentle, and doesn't like alfalfa i've learned. gave him a kale leaf today, will check in daylight and see if he's touched it.

2:33 am

if not, i'll eat what's left. i love kale, and leafy greens in general.

2:33 am

Will answer your e-mails soon Sprite, enjoy your game all, bye

Marmar, good luck, hope it turns out ok

2:52 am

dc, I came across a great quote. "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it is not the end."

2:52 am

ty -

2:53 am

that's a good one sprite

2:53 am

that's very much my life attitude, that it's all for the best and will work out. Thus far it has, if not always the way i expected, or sometimes wanted. :)

2:53 am

good quote sprite

2:54 am

Pohick is a place near hear, which is haunting me in the grid - it's a native name.

2:54 am

nice one sprite

2:54 am

sprite, was the quote attributed?

2:54 am

I took it to heart. Helps with a lot of fears! and yes dc... though life seldom takes us where we want to go, it definitely brings us where we need to be. (and that is a quote from my book, lol)

2:54 am

dc, it wasn't, sorry.

2:55 am

indeed so, sprite :) and all good about the attribution.

2:56 am

hah, I put in the thing that keeps the ship in place without seeing how it could be there, and it took!

2:56 am

ty, sprite!

2:56 am

go sprite go!

2:56 am

ty sprite!

2:57 am

yvw :)

2:57 am

anyone else being bugged by the latin vase?

ty sprite, me too now! good day everyone

2:57 am

hi chrissie!

2:58 am

2:58 am

everyone sprite

2:58 am

Hi Chrissie

2:58 am

hi Chrissie!

2:58 am

go crpw go!

2:58 am

hi chrissie

2:58 am

shared misery is halved misery, Fran ;) Thanks.

2:58 am

morning, chrissie!

2:58 am

thats weird, I was just trying combos of that vase

2:58 am

yay crpw, go girllllll!

2:59 am

we were sharing a babble link, lynxxx :)

2:59 am

latin vase? you mean the phantom greek vessel for liquids?

2:59 am

that one, dc.

2:59 am

yes, that one dc

3:00 am

i ate at a diner named aften that tonight.

3:00 am

my brain seems to be unwilling to accept its phantom state.

3:00 am

do they serve greek food?

3:00 am

sprite, hemorrioid is like that for me.

3:00 am

how'd you guess, fran LOL :D

3:00 am

not spelling well tonight, i'm not.

3:01 am

yay dc, that is nice! Love greek food.

3:01 am

it was a wild guess. :-)

3:01 am

you are making perfect sense, dc, so don't bother.

Sprite, the "quote" I like is "don't sweat the small stull - it's all small stuff", far less poetic than your's but equally good for putting things in perspective

3:01 am

another good one chrissie

3:01 am

i had grilled swiss and tomato, friend had bagel w/lox and cream cheese.

3:01 am

ah, but a great one, Chrissie!

for stull read stuff ..lol

3:02 am

as a once-upon-a-day accountant, sometimes the small stuff matters, but in life, often not so much so.

3:03 am

i can't wait for my wrist to heal. this brace sucks. i want use of my thumb back.

true dc, the context is important

3:03 am

duely copied, Chrissie. I can use such oneliners. They work miracles on my often freaked out mind.

3:03 am

what did you do to your wrist dc? haven't heard about that

3:03 am

what happened, dc?

3:03 am

de quervain's tendinitis

3:04 am

here's one for you sprite: don't be afraid to use the ignore button.

3:04 am

caused by my elder cat, and my unwillingness to move my hand one night

3:04 am

which in non-Klingon would be....?

I like that one fran

3:04 am

wow Fran, thanks :) Good one too.

3:04 am

well, tell de quervain he can keep it!

more details please dc

3:05 am

would that i could, fran :D

3:05 am

one sec, chrissie...

3:05 am

LOL Fran! Nice one! Do as she said, dc :)

3:06 am

3:09 am

3:09 am

ok, i need a clue, an5-10 please

3:09 am

i have a brace, should go to doctor, i hear a steroid injection can help

3:09 am

dc, looks like something very irritating to suffer from. Hope it will go away soon!

3:10 am

crpw, an + i r*** a condo from a landlord

3:10 am

3:10 am

3:10 am

that's it crpw! fireworks!!!

3:10 am

omg, i cant believe i did that

3:10 am

and sprite, it's very painful, though with the brace, that's not an issue ,i'm also doing some gentle stretching to help it.

3:11 am

and congrats on finishing.... after you put it in the right box, LOL. YAY!

3:11 am

yw dc

3:11 am

some year, maye i'll read some tolkien.

3:11 am

i only got as far as half of the hobbit myself dc

3:11 am

Congrats crpw !

3:11 am

FIREWORKS thank you for the clue,

3:12 am

it was the excitement of knowing you were done crpw. :-)

3:12 am

lol

3:12 am

no one is more excited than me

3:12 am

i own 5 copies of that one fran, one is beautiyury illustrated, another is in green leather with gold runes set into the cover. never read any of them.

3:12 am

now i can get some sleep

3:12 am

congrats, CRPW!!!

3:12 am

I reread the hobbit and LOTR once a year. It is wonderful.

3:12 am

sleep well, crpw!

3:13 am

go rest crpw! good night!

3:13 am

night all

slow reader, just finished dc. hope your wrist is fully operational soon

3:13 am

lol dc... if you ever want to sell them, I will take them off your hands gladly!

3:13 am

i'll have to read them before the kids get to that age

3:13 am

I tried a few times with Tolkien, just couldn't get into them. Loved the movies though

3:13 am

I am sorry about the pain, dc. Pain is debilitating and a nasty energy sucker. Take care of you!

3:15 am

each year, for Xmas, a friend posts Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World, and insists we sing it aloud. He says it improves one's mood, and he's righ.t

3:15 am

i have 15 left for tomorrow, time for me to get going

3:15 am

dc, hope you get some relief from the tendonitis

3:15 am

it does, dc.

3:15 am

ty, sprite. this is nothing compared to my back last year, when i was on T3 for 2 weeks.

3:15 am

Fran, *hugs* for you.

3:15 am

have a great day or night everyone!

3:15 am

bye Fran - sleep tight

3:15 am

happily, fran this type heals competely in time.

3:15 am

dc... what is T3?

3:16 am

dream sweetly, fran!

3:16 am

Tylenol 3 - acetominiphin with codeine.

bye fran

3:16 am

ah, I see. Pretty bad pain!

3:18 am

ended up with the T3, after i had an anaphylactic reaction to Toradol, an NSAID.

3:18 am

how's the back now?

3:18 am

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflamitory Drug.

3:18 am

and Fran... sweet or naughty dreams, your choice ;)

3:18 am

very well sprite, i strained it horribly in 3h of agressive dish washing while camping :)

3:19 am

so i learned some useful limits and this year, i will recruit help

3:19 am

need to start menu-planning for that event soon.

3:19 am

I knew camping was bad for you!

3:19 am

GOOD, dc. Do so. Bodily limits are there for a reason, lol... I know. Am learning that too.

3:20 am

but, lynxxx, we gather for 3 days of ice-cream making!

dc are you accident prone - picking up the cat and dish washing are not usually debilitating activities lol

must be one fat cat and hell of a lot of dishes!!

3:20 am

depends on the amount of time spent in one rush, Chrissie, lol.

3:21 am

nope, can't convince me, nasty stuff that camping

3:21 am

the cat and i were in bed - he sleeps curled on my arm. One night he pushed into my wrist with his rear claws, pushitg the point with the tendiniitis into a drawer pull.

3:21 am

dishes - 3 hours of washing things in knee-deep - at the bottom - sinks, wash, rinse, sanatize, for equipment that had been stored for 2 years, plus anything else that came back while i was doing that.

3:21 am

lol lynxxx, don't worry, nobody will force you! *hug*

3:22 am

friend and i stayed in a hotel, and commuted to the campsite, due to her disabilities.

3:22 am

so, days and half the night at campground, back to hotel to sleep and shower.

3:23 am

now that sounds good though! hotel & ice-cream

with you there lynxxx

3:23 am

last year we mad 98 flavours.

3:24 am

i invented Indian Rose - a rose ice cream with cinnamon and cardamom.

3:24 am

oh wow, dc.

3:24 am

I love the sound of that, dc. Good combination.

3:24 am

YUM!

3:25 am

http://www.baitcon.org/ is the event

3:25 am

flavour lists are there.

3:25 am

we're putting together a new cookbook now.

3:25 am

the tomato ice cream was fabulous- tasted like fresh tomato, based it on a recipe for grape ice cream.

3:26 am

i'm working on perfecting teh recipe. i'll post it when i do, sprite. the spicing was good, but the texture was too hard when frozen.

3:27 am

please do, dc, I'd love to try it!

3:28 am

Usually don't like cooked tomato, but I used to make a tomato jelly (mould served with salad veges) so a tomato ice-cream would be equally yummy

3:29 am

mould? Now I am sure I got that wrong...

3:29 am

lynxx, i'll get the recipe of that one for you, friend who lives by me made it.

3:29 am

mold, sprite, british mould, in the this case to form into a shape using a mo(u)ld.

3:30 am

like a gelatin, or an aspic, or a jelly, or a butter.

3:30 am

I must be crazy again. I am thinking of things that grow hairy in the fridge, lol.

3:30 am

same word, sprite, 2 very different meanings.

3:30 am

that tomato jelly sounds great though, lynxxx. Very decorative.

3:31 am

same word Sprite. I use a lot of English spelling - as Australians usually do

3:31 am

ah, ok! Thanks dc :) Learned something new today, again.

3:31 am

there was a tomato sorbet, also, but the ice cream was mich nicer. i lked the creamed corn ice cream and the pea ice cream also. It was easy to imagine them as a cold conterpoint to their hot counterparts.

popping head out of grid to say..it's not an easy one is it..no 7's or 8's yet

3:32 am

I am trying to keep my spelling English, but I know I am slipping all the time.

3:32 am

no, it's not, chirissie.

3:33 am

Chrissie: no, not really. I have 3 7s but no 8s. And about 2000 phantoms.

3:33 am

yell when you want some clues Chrissie

3:33 am

i use a mix of US and British, and 'international' middle ground, due to years of working for multi-national companies.

3:33 am

Thanks, Pink. Have fun. It's not a bad grid.

6:22 am

6:27 am

hence

6:27 am

sorry

6:29 am

and the other one, tx betterman

Thanks! Finally got the PH. Now I just need that darned An. Sigh.

6:29 am

6:30 am

th an...u toss one over the side of a boat when u wish to keep the boat in oneplace

6:30 am

Thanks, Pink. I couldn't finish a shorty like yesterday - stupid laundry! - but am glad to finish this one.

6:39 am

<POMPOM TOSS> for queen

6:44 am

Is there another clue for an6/30?

6:45 am

why isn't mo5/16+ed a word?

6:45 am

Flask - try this: an6/30 = an + 'take the BLT out of the woollen bed cover'.

6:47 am

lol.....very clever Jac...and thanks!

6:47 am

y/w, Flask.

6:58 am

thanks Jacula, my first word. Guten MOrgen, babblers

6:58 am

Clues for the 7s plz......i have the cheesy one......

7:00 am

Morning, inge. y/w

7:00 am

Hi Inge and Movieman....

7:01 am

mm - co7 - what metal does when it rusts.

7:02 am

en7 - 007 might get this sort of message so only he can read it.

7:03 am

hiya flask and inge

7:03 am

and jac

7:05 am

any clues for the an8 please?

7:05 am

hi mm, flask, and jac. Keep up the good clueing, jac

7:06 am

co7 - means erosion the same as the other co7 but change penultimate vowel.

7:07 am

tx Jac

7:07 am

an8 against a **** and a hard place. hello again

7:07 am

an8 - is perhaps 'against Iron Maiden/Led Zep/Blac Sabbath etc.'

7:07 am

thanks lynxxx and Jac.....

7:08 am

got all the 8s now......just missing two 7s

7:08 am

hello to everyone who have just walked in!!

7:08 am

Hiya Pink....

7:09 am

hi flask!

7:09 am

7:09 am

Thanks for that one, lynxxx.

7:10 am

po6.27 olden days hair polish used by gentlemen, past tense for the 7

7:10 am

.. and those, lynxxx.

7:11 am

yw Jac...and that was a great clue for the an6 (wish I didn't have it already)

7:12 am

ph8 please?

7:12 am

someone clued it awhile ago...didn't understand the clue

7:14 am

ph8 pho***** would relate to sounds in speech, change the o to another vowel

7:14 am

ty lynxxx

7:15 am

PH8 sounds like the word used to described sounds in speech, but change the 1 vowel for another

7:15 am

ph8 is like a method of writing where the words are spelled as they sound, e.g. telefone. Change 1st vowel.

7:15 am

yw

7:15 am

ty Jac too.....it almost sounds like the word to mean frantic!

Background info that will be useful: our new mayor in Philadelphia has been referred to as having a voice like a muppet (think Ernie, of Bert and Ernie from Sesame street)

heeeeeerre... fishy fishy fishy!!!

8:33 am

OK JB I am all ears

8:33 am

On Tuesday, the Reverend Al Sharpton from New York City came to Philadelphia with high indignation and readiness to right a wrong, to fight injustice, and to garner more publicity for himself. He has a knack for showing up to "help"

8:33 am

Remember Tawana Brawley?

8:33 am

always does

8:34 am

Exactly, Scarlet - gold star for you!

8:34 am

More please...

8:34 am

8:36 am

So His Honor, Michael Nutter, was shown in all his mayoral glory on the 11:00pm newscast politely but FIRMLY telling the good reverend - thanks for the offer, bub, but we've got it covered. Aren't there problems in New York City that you should be attending to? I'm sure they appreciate your talent there - basically go home, buddy, we ain't letting you play in our sandbox

8:36 am

It was awesome!

8:37 am

ty shorty, politically incorrect but much fun. I appreciate self-dreprecating humor

8:37 am

too funny JBs

8:37 am

Then my DH (dear husband) starts chuckling....I looked at him expectantly...

8:37 am

but what was the injustice, what happened in philly?

8:37 am

That's a first... real guts in the face of the AL-storm... wow... kudos to Mayor Nutter!!

8:37 am

And he said - This portion of the broadcast was brought to you by the letters F and U!!!

8:37 am

and...\

hear hear! nutter is a very interesting guy = has nver been afraid to go his own way

8:38 am

LOLOLO>>>>>>>> hahahahhahaaaaaaaaaa

8:39 am

It's really true, shorty, we've been married 22 years and he still makes me laugh every day

8:39 am

Hi Red !

Hi Lynxx, how is stewie?

9:15 am

He's good thanks Red. Australia Day here (not as big as 4th July) so not to happy w. fireworks (as are most dogs)

Awwww. Happy Australia Day! Hope you enjoy the fireworks...

Well, at least the grid appears manageble today.

9:20 am

hi red, are you feeling better today?

9:20 am

happy Australia day lynn!

9:20 am

Hi all---Bunny Sebastian is sick and not eating much. I am going to feed him with a syringe soon.

Hi Lilli, I'm sorry to say I still feel lousy...Scrabbler, so sorry about Bunny Seb....

9:21 am

hi scrabs....sorry to hear abot sebastien, hope he is better soon

9:21 am

happy Australia Day!

9:21 am

thanks guys

9:21 am

RTH--what is making you feel the worst? Respiratory sxs or just tired?

9:21 am

ah, sorry to hear that red....sending get well hugs and vibes to you

9:22 am

will he be OK Scrabs?

9:22 am

ra6 anybody?

9:22 am

and to bunny seb aswell

9:22 am

don't have it yet dan corry

Low grade fever Scrabbs, extreme stuffy nose and really really tired....Will Bunny be alright? It is only day 3 of Z pack...

9:23 am

ra6 ra + the curved roof on a cathedral etc

9:23 am

Rabbits can develop a problem called gastrointestinal stasis--sort of like constipation, where they stop eating and pooping, and they can get sicker quickly and die. He did eat some pieces of greens but usually he devours his salad. He is also less active.

9:23 am

get better soon Red, look after yourself

I hope your feedin him speeds his system up!!

9:24 am

RTH--are you doing 500 mg/day x 3d?

9:24 am

hope the feeding helps scrab

I did 1000 mg the first day then 4 days of 500, on day 3...

9:25 am

Big doses, RTH. Take some probiotics or eat yogurt.

9:25 am

ty lynxxx. get well soon, Scrabblerabbit

9:25 am

Are you coughing much, RTH?

9:25 am

TY all for your concern about Sebastian. He is my tiny 3 lb bundle of love.

It was rather a big dose...Eat yogurt every day...No cough really...just feel so so tired, and all this sinus congestion...

9:26 am

Do saline irrigations of your sinus spaces, with a Neti pot or sinus irrigation kit. That will help a lot.

I really hope he gets better Scrabbs...when I worked at an emergency Vet Clinic, the Rabbits were some of the most sensitive creatures...hard to treat. He;s Lucky to have you.

It won't wash up infection into the sinuses??

9:27 am

How many bunnies do you have Scrabbler? I forgot...:( I hope that Sebastien gets well though..we need to call in Mr. Haz! Good morning everyone!

9:27 am

hi uni!

Hi Uni!

9:28 am

Hi Uniquity

Ooooh, icon theme is safari...I've actually done one...will upload safari image if I can find one..

9:28 am

I have 4 bunnies. Sebastian is 5 and the sweetest one I have ever had. I sleep with him! Yes, I wanted to talk with Jacula or Loredana, as they have bunnies too, but I have dealt with this before and I know what I have to do for him.

9:28 am

Hey Lilli, Red and Lynxxx!

9:28 am

How is everyone feeling?

9:29 am

RTH--read about Neti pots or the Neil Med sinus irrigation systems--making a resurgence in popularity.

9:29 am

It just started snowing AGAIN!

9:30 am

Wow, 4 bunnies feels like a lot, but then again, they have a whole house to romp in, so I s'pose you could use some more! I've always wanted a bunny, but my stepbro finally got one a few years ago, and he is pretty much the killer rabbit from Monty Python. I think I am off bunnies for life :(

9:30 am

I watched the Bourne Ultimatum last night--wow, great action!

9:31 am

Rabbits have different personalities. Callie is quite sassy, Gandlaf has extreme anxiety, Tucker is kind of a dopey boy, and Sebastian is my lovey.

Yay for the snow Queen, Scrabbs, thanks for your concern...Lots of docs I know like the neti pot, but I've n ot really been brave enough...if I can manage it I may go an investigate it...

9:32 am

I would want two, so they could keep each other company. One cuddly and one attitude...I am a cat person, and have always adored creatures that like to cuddle. (and eat cheese!)

9:33 am

people swear by it, RTH, so it is something to consider--like a Roto-Rooter for your nasal and sinus spaces.

9:34 am

Uni--the bunnies are separate as they are very territorial animals.

Do your cats like to cuddle Uni? Only a few of my Moms really like that...She only has 3 lest anyone think she is a mad cat lady.

9:34 am

Back again. Hi, Scrabbler and Uni and all... I love my neti pot... I think it has been integral to my not getting very sick for years... but, as soon as I say that, I'll get hit with something...

9:34 am

Aww, that's no fun

9:35 am

Sorry about Sebastion, Scrabbler... I know he is your special one...

9:35 am

OK, I have to go check on Sebastian upstairs and feed him by syringe. BBL Hi Scarlet! Dodge the germs!

Dont get sick Scalret!!!! It isnt worth it.

9:35 am

I know, red! See you soon, Scrabbler.

9:36 am

by everyone, must go too

9:36 am

The cats currently at LoriP's are not cuddlers unfortunately (unless I am asleep, at which poiint Wanda will stand guard over me like nobodys business), but we have always had cats in pairs, and there has always been one who cuddled with me...Animals and I tend to get along quite well. At least one kitty always slept with me/foillowed me around

9:36 am

If we have any Australians on-line now: Happy Australia Day!

Love you icon Scarlet...it should have been the theme for the day...

9:36 am

Hi all. Just signed on and read he log. Red, as a longtime sinus sufferer, I can tell you the nasal lavage really works. I use the hottest water I can stand, and also put in 3 or 4 drops per cup of tea tree oil. Kills ALL the germs!

9:36 am

Take care Scrabbler and Lynxxx, and Happy Australia day!!

9:36 am

I know, red... I am not into safaris...

9:37 am

Bingo, broll!!

9:37 am

hello

9:37 am

the log, even

I actually really enjoy Safariiing in Kenya...which I thought I would not.

9:37 am

Hi, harp!!

9:38 am

hi broll and harp

9:38 am

A photographic safari would be amazing, red. Hi, lil!!

So, when I am next able to actually get up, put on clothes, etc, I shall head to get the famed Neti Pot...though I am sort of hoping at that point not to need it!!!

9:38 am

hi scar

It ended up being more fun than I anticipated Scarlet...the hunting kind, I am not into...

9:39 am

whee firewords! thanks all cluers

Yay Dan!!!

9:39 am

Once you see how easy it is to do, red, and the cleansing properties that you will enjoy, you will become a believer! Yahoo for dan2bit!!

9:39 am

Welcome Harp and way to go Dan!!

9:39 am

we were hoping to go on a kenyan safari this christmas but because of the trouble at the moment they are not letting us book

I guess you know, I've seen a few of these sinus irrigation used wrong....etc...

9:39 am

Uni... I am a staunch cat lady... with only one old girl now... but, I have nearly all my life, had cats.

9:40 am

wtg dan!!

Lilli, I am so upset about hte uproar...in Kenya, its such a wonderful country, you would really enjoy it, I think.

9:41 am

When I asked for a bunny at two, I was instead given my Katie...beautiful cat, best cuddler I have ever had. She was absolutely, 100% MY kitty and I adored her to bits. She lived to eleven, and only passed because my stepmother did not listen to my request that she remain an inside cat as she had her whole life. Too weak for the big world and was attacked. I have yet to get over it and still miss her very much.

9:41 am

OH, lil... you would be at such risk...

9:41 am

i hope everything calms down soon, especially for the kenyans and would love to see kenya....a holiday of a lifetime!

Oooh Uni....So so sorry.

9:42 am

That is an ache that you never completely overcome, Uni...

Lilli, you have to go to Malindi...as well as Nakuru for the Flamingos...

9:42 am

ahhh, sorry to hear that uni!

Theres a fun train ride from Nairobi to Mombassa, I think...Have not been there in about 2 years now...

9:43 am

safari is the theme?

9:43 am

Yes, harp.

9:43 am

i could use my picture from the movie Hatari I guess!

9:43 am

I think it would be beautiful to go to Africa...anywhere, really.

9:44 am

But I went off-message to give a little celebration to our Aussie friends.

9:44 am

Someone mentioned flamingoes?

9:45 am

we were going to do a beach and 3 day safari, red.... i think that will be enought ravelling for me!

Africa is really wonderful...I want to go back to see South Africa, as well as a few other places...

9:45 am

spelling awful today!!

9:45 am

flamingoes? What, is it somebody's fiftieth?

Lilli, that is probably enough, I did a 3 day when on R and R, and that was plenty for me, but I'm not as nature focused as some...

9:46 am

we were deciding between south africa and kenya red

Hard choice, but I suppose SA is much mroe stable now...

9:47 am

Good morning, Haz!

9:47 am

Good morning Scarlet - just peeking in to say hello.

9:48 am

we're going to leave it for a bit red and see what happens

Hi Haz!

9:48 am

Is your icon a photograph that you and Mr. Haz took when you were visiting Africa, Haz?

9:48 am

hi haz, love the flamingo pic!

9:48 am

Yes, scarlet - flamingoes at Lake Nakuru, as mentioned by redturtle.

9:49 am

From a distance the lake looked as though it was covered with candy floss.

Gorgeous Haz, I had to represh as Spangle was showing her happy face!

9:49 am

It is a breath-taking shot, Haz... gorgeous in fact.

9:49 am

how long were you on safari for haz?

9:50 am

We were on actual safari - under 'canvas' for three days. Long enough to see plenty - it's pretty tiring.

9:50 am

Oh my Gosh, I just saw spangle, but clicked your icon..that is breath-taking Haz

9:50 am

I have to ask: Did you wear a pith helmet, Haz?

9:51 am

We also had two nights at Lake Naivasha, staying in a lodge - we were taken to see animals from there as well.

9:51 am

I had a friend who went safari had to wire for more funds

9:51 am

Not quite, Scarlet. I'll show you.....

9:51 am

Good morning, BR-r!

9:51 am

the one that we are thinking of is you stay at 3 different hotels whilst doing the safari

Ooh, Haz I am jealous, I only had time for Amboselli...wet there because I like elephants lots...

9:51 am

Hello, peoples

hi BR!

er rather I went there...

9:52 am

Good day, Babblers!

9:52 am

hosDy, red

9:52 am

OKay, me with the flamingoes!

9:52 am

hi br

9:52 am

Red, do you know where in Kenya the giraffe reserve is? The one where the animals interact with the people in the hotel?

9:52 am

it sounds great haz....i just hope that we can go on one soon. my daughter will be 9 this year and think it's a good time for her to go

Nice Haz!

9:53 am

And now husband has arrived home looking for computer..... and me sitting here and the shopping not put away yet!

9:53 am

hi BR and judy

Scarlet, I am unsure, but there is a preserve area right by the airport, and most times when I flew in, (to the main airport not wilson that it) I would see giraffes...

There was a small park right outside of Nairobi you could go to...

9:53 am

Nice hat, Haz... straw... at least your face is covered... what a background!

HI Haz's Hubby!!!

9:54 am

are giraffes dangerous? i know that's proabably a silly question

9:54 am

Not that I have seen, harp... I love their black tongues...

I have no real experience, I'd have to defer to Haz'shusband!

9:55 am

I know - it was winter time but still pretty hot during the day. (bear in mind we're not used to a lot of heat!) Anyway, better go and do the horror shopping putting away.

9:55 am

there is a zoo in grance that you can give popcorn to giraffes and other animals

9:55 am

I"d love to see Victoria Falls

9:55 am

For overhead shots of the African plains, play with Google Earth. Also, look at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida. We were able to spot giraffes and wildebeasts from satellite zoom-ins.

9:55 am

france even

9:55 am

See you soon, Haz, and thank you for sharing!

THis grid and I are not really getting along...

9:55 am

maybe I"ll stop in Grance on my next trip, lol

TY alot Haz, they are gorgeous Photos!!!

9:56 am

are there lots of mosquitos and other bitie things red?

9:56 am

I want to go to Grance, too...

9:56 am

Was going to say, not familiar with Grance. Thought maybe Myanmar changed their name again.

9:57 am

aaahhh, Grance, where the wildebeests and giraffes play

When I went there were lots of Mosquitos...it was January...

9:57 am

my typing is terrible today!

9:57 am

They speak Grench there, right?

9:57 am

lol judi then us westereners could at least pronounce it!

9:57 am

lol, lili, but it's fun!

9:57 am

But I didn't find myself swarmed or anything...

9:57 am

9:58 am

lol, harp!

9:58 am

DUring the day the mosquitos are not bad...

9:58 am

Dang it Judi... I forgot my high school Grench!

9:58 am

see, i still can't type...meant grenchais! lol

But at night they seem to bite...which is wierd because it gets really cold at night...

9:58 am

The grid is a typically miserly motley mix of phonemes

If you do Hotels with nets you should be alright...

9:58 am

As did I Scarlet. It's right down there in the puddle, next to my Spanglish.

9:58 am

So is the human race, BR-r!

9:58 am

i just guessed and got the ke5

Unfortunately BR, no Phenome exactly in the grid...Lots of Spanish words for me...

9:59 am

Spanglish and I are still good pals, Judi...

9:59 am

stuck on 2 five words ch5/16 and na5/12 ..hlp pls

10:07 am

10:13 am

10:17 am

We have to craft our own twisted definitions sometimes, red.

10:18 am

scarlet, i am lame... what means GMTA ?

10:18 am

Great Minds Think Alike

10:18 am

oh, of course (but yours is greater, since I couldn't figure that out)

10:18 am

*Snort*

10:19 am

Bunny Sebastian ate some greens with some urging and then grabbed a carrot from his plate. I also massaged his belly and put a clean litter box right on the bed and told him to poop ASAP so Mama will feel better.

10:19 am

That link worked, thanks BabbleRabble. I have strong opinions on those sorts of situations, so I shan't comment but I always enjoy the info your provide in your profile.

10:19 am

10:21 am

thanks turtle, i feel better

10:21 am

Great story, BR, TY for sharing it. It reminds me of my friend, Mary, undergoing treatment for brain cancer. The baby was induced 3 wks early and then Mary had the MRI that made the diagnosis.

10:21 am

It's not you, Do.

10:21 am

how is mary doing scrabs?

10:22 am

Tom Landry's daughter, Lisa, had a somewhat similar story

10:22 am

Mary is getting stronger and will fly on a private plane on Feb 6th to see the brain tumor expert at Duke Univ that has been directing her treatment.

10:23 am

That's good news scrabs

10:23 am

so many have so much to deal with

i guess i should ask scrab, but does she see friedman? hes a good guy and brilliant...

10:23 am

an6/30?

10:23 am

Very true, BR---real life-and-death stuff.

10:24 am

i'm glad she's feeling stronger,scrabs, is the treatment helping?

10:24 am

Put your ship to an****, harp

10:24 am

Yes, yes! Henry Friedman! Expert in pediatric brain tumors, especially the PNEt variety which Mary has! You know of him, RTH?

i worked at duke for 5 yrs...

10:25 am

thanks, that's a new word for me!

10:25 am

*PNET type of tumors are primarily pediatric, but infrequently seen in adults, such as for MAry.

10:25 am

Did you know Theresa Jaworski while you were at Duke, RTH?

he doesn't hang out in the er but i used to work icu there and neuro icu at unc...so glad she is getting great care...

10:27 am

Yippety for pbr!!

10:28 am

hooray pbr

10:28 am

Small world, RTH....I am glad you know what is going on with Mary. Yes, he has been great with her care. Henry calls the husband at least once per week.

10:29 am

I just tell the docs you work for me; act like it

10:29 am

RTH--of course he is a pediatrician first, and we are special people!

10:29 am

Perfect, BR

10:29 am

Yes, BR! That is so right!

only a little though scrabbs, i mostly do chest pain/od/sniffles these days...

10:30 am

10:30 am

Later, Scrabbler!!

10:31 am

10:32 am

I am sure you realize how difficult it is for me to stand up for myself as shy as I am

10:32 am

Right, BR...

BR...try that again...

10:33 am

you need a clue?

10:33 am

We detect a touch of tongue in cheek, or wherever you put it...

10:38 am

helli, dd, sir

10:39 am

I am back with a PB & J sandwich for breakfast. I checked on Bunny Sebastian and he seems perkier.

10:40 am

My dad got a new job... He works at the Zoo waking up the monkeys....So he woke me up at 8 o'clock -.-

hello darth

lol darth...

10:40 am

hello scrabbler. Is Sebastian not feeling well?

10:40 am

Haha, darth

10:40 am

Scrabbler, you and I are having the same food... Hi, DD.

10:41 am

Nonnie--he was not interested in eating this AM, somewhat mopey, and probably is experiencing GI stasis--a problem for bunnies.

hi scrabs! gues what? i forgot to take intinflammatory - and just remembered! it's been over 14 hours! I think i am helaing!

10:41 am

Monkey waker...that is what I want to be when I grow up!

10:41 am

Great news, Owl!

10:41 am

Hahahahhaaaaaa, Nonnie!

i went to yoga yesterday - i think it helped! i am soooooo excited, hope it lasts

10:43 am

Did you end up getting an injection into your hip, Owl?

10:43 am

Sorry to hear that, Scrabbs. Will he be all right, you think?

10:44 am

po 7 --- add forcefully requested: de**n***

10:44 am

Thank you, BR.

10:45 am

When bunnies get this they need to be watched closely. He did eat some greens in the last hour when I poked them under his nose. And then he grabbed a carrot off his plate and ate that. I am glad he is eating on his own. He needs to poop!

10:45 am

hey owl... yoga is good for back stuff... just remember to go gentle and if it hurts, Don't do it

10:46 am

I thought it was really dumb joke at 7 o'clock when he woke me up ON SATURDAY!@!!

10:46 am

Glad to hear he is eating...hopefully the pooping will follow!

10:46 am

The joke was on YOU, darth!

dads can be pains some times darth. hows everything going??

10:46 am

...Thanks -.-

10:47 am

At least he has a sense of humor, darth. :o)

10:47 am

Things are going okay...I am going to my moms house today....I think I will just sleep and do nothing]

hi doren...we did an alternate standing routinebeacue the room was frigid....i omitted warrioir three, did not want to place weight on either hip - and all was fine

10:48 am

....yeah I guess Dorens

10:49 am

supine with eyelids activated?

gotta be a cross between wise ninja and a nerdy nerd...

10:49 am

Doren, it is fingers poised on the keyboard and eyes scanning the grid. It is a relaxing, mediatative and healing position.

*gracefully prepares to fight today's babble battle* no kenpo though - enable does not recognize it

10:49 am

has to be at computer

10:49 am

lololol scrabs

I think I'm in the modified babble warrior position. I have one foot resting on the chair leg.

10:50 am

Periodically one then yells, "Yahoooo!", "Gotcha" and "Weeeeehhhaaaa" when a word is located.

10:50 am

LOL, Nonnie.

10:50 am

*falls back asleep*

i'm actually in bed with a quilt of golden retriever...

10:51 am

10:51 am

**going to wash sticky hands after eating PB & J sandwich.

10:51 am

Eureka works too, Scarlet. LOL

10:51 am

Only if you lower your girding, Do.

10:52 am

10:53 am

Well, I must be leaving you good people. I have a funeral to attend. Unfortunately, a young couple from our Church lost their newborn daughter after only two days.

10:53 am

10:54 am

Dorens, add an improbable consonant to the an5/12

10:54 am

sorry nonnie, a friend went through that last mont

10:54 am

She was born c-section two weeks early because the mom had detected no activity. The cord was wrapped around her neck. Very sad!

10:55 am

Aww, Nonnie that is such a horrible situation. The poor parents...

10:55 am

heartbreaking

10:56 am

Cute name, Nonnie. AddieLu will forever be a part of them.

10:56 am

I know...this is going to be a touch one. My heart is breaking for them.

10:56 am

Dorens, the an5/12 is sort of a romping silliness from, say, clowns or teenagers or young children.

10:56 am

touch = tough

10:56 am

oh yah, i got that scarlet thanks. now got next one too whooh

10:56 am

Anyway, you all take care and I hope to see you later.

11:00 am

I took them all out with carleekat's purple crayon, red...

11:00 am

Hi, Lucien...

47 here monty, bon jour....

hi luc

oooh scarlet, you had a defective grid!

11:00 am

20 here, and circling...

11:00 am

if you find it you are working on the wrong grid

11:00 am

18 and crying

11:00 am

LOL, red.

11:01 am

No tears here... YET

there's no crying in babble

11:01 am

I thought that was baseball, TO?

11:01 am

ok... how about whining?

11:01 am

laughing is allowed i hope ?

11:02 am

only unabashed blubbering will due

11:02 am

whinning is good

11:02 am

Whining is allowed for a short time.. then you get kneecapped with a nerfbat.

11:02 am

17 and frustrated. laughing is encouraged, and frequently inevitable

11:02 am

LOL, Owl! Whenever we hear wailing in our office, which is almost continuously, I say, "There's no crying in pediatrics!"

oh yes, whining definitely : D

11:02 am

winning is good !!

11:02 am

by the way, I so do hate whining.... in my office it is stopped immediately

mybe luc, but you may need a permit...i'll sell you one for a few clues...

11:03 am

I am up to 40 and it has been hard work.

11:03 am

ok red - go !

11:03 am

It gets harder...

:)

11:03 am

ditto scarlet

11:03 am

Still snowing! 21F. How is life in Montreal, Luc?

11:05 am

11:07 am

LOL, BR!

11:07 am

Nordic skiing is the proper term.

11:08 am

and remember, the life you save may be your own

11:08 am

Nope, Owl--you would need someone to give them food, water and love.

11:08 am

TY, BR--quite a word.

i will resist the urge to adopt spur of the moment, as all responsible pet owners should

11:09 am

can't believe my favorite cheese is here and I didn't see it for so long

all morning people were cluing"smile for the camera" and i didn't see it

11:10 am

It doesn't qualify as a word though, if you mean ed**.

kept looking for "cheese" and tried "edam"

11:10 am

no ed** is not my favoarite cheese

11:10 am

Is there another cheese that I am supposed to see here?

yes scrabbler

11:11 am

11:19 am

I hate to have to key in manana and not use the tilde...

11:19 am

yes, but they don't start with an

11:19 am

Yes, Luc.

11:19 am

which symbol do you mean deeha? .. i do that by pressing option first, then the letter simultaneously with the option key

11:19 am

TO... you just ate!

11:19 am

˜

11:19 am

it boils down to 1 - your keyboard and 2 - your knowledge of ASCII code scarlet...

yes but it was forced for health not for pleasure. cereal without my beloved banana

11:20 am

mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food! now that should be in the penalty box

11:21 am

Then I am down the well-know creek, Luc.

11:21 am

And I cannot find Dorens' option key.

11:21 am

scarlet, as i recall you didn't think you could ever change your icon!

11:21 am

option key is MAC only i think

i saw ellie krieger make it with a base of frozen squash, and three cheeses. wanted tot ry it but could not find frozen squash

11:21 am

LOL... and YOU alone made me believe in myself, Do.

11:22 am

i've seen frozen squash, and I tried it once owl, but the real stuff is SO much better.. it was all watery

11:22 am

for windoze users, if you use accents regularly, its worth downloading a tiny program called AllChars, it makes doing accents easy peasy

11:27 am

Thank you Une... and Luc, I never thought I could EVER get this...

11:31 am

Good, especially since I have no clue what Ascii means...

11:32 am

I am installing AllChars right now. TY, Queen Smug.

hi haz

11:32 am

Hello Une, montreal and everyone. Just a quick look in to see folks.

11:32 am

Welcome back, Haz.

11:33 am

I SHOULD be in the kitchen but I've sneaked in here instead.

11:33 am

hello everyone!

11:33 am

Can I go up a smugness level now??

11:33 am

could i have a clue 4 the na/5 please

11:33 am

Hazel, is your husband ho**? Bunny Sebastian is having a bout with GI stasis.

11:33 am

think Mrs Reagan girl

11:33 am

wow, spangle's grown tall

11:33 am

Hi, Annie...we are having class now...

11:33 am

Yes, Ata, you may take one step forward.

11:33 am

Can you get any smugger, Atalante?

11:34 am

I thought *smug* was infinite, Haz...

11:34 am

I'm sure it's possible. I can't be as smug as Dale Winton yet, surely?

11:34 am

Hello Scrabbler - he's here but to be honest, I think you probably know more about rabbits than he does. He's more your cow and sheep type.

11:34 am

a class, goody, sits down and folds hands in lap

11:34 am

hello! scrabs, working on our game right now. decided to see who was in chat first though

11:34 am

No, Atalante, that's true, and you're still not as smug as Michael Winner.

11:35 am

True, Hazel, I have been throught this many times, and read the vet advice info again.

11:35 am

ty montreal

11:35 am

bonjour annie and feather !

11:35 am

Hi Featherbee

scarlet, enable accepts asci - the word, i mean

11:35 am

oh yes, Michael Winner wins

11:35 am

OH! Thanks again, TO!

but it taint in this grid!!!

11:35 am

What is wrong with Bunny Sebastian? Hi Luc and feather

11:36 am

who's Michael Winner ??

11:36 am

It's funny - he does do a bit of small animals, seeing cats and dogs etc. He claims he never likes seeing 'bags' sitting in the waiting room, especially if they're moving.

11:36 am

Annie, montreal was giving us lessons of how to make the various language accents on our boring English letters...

11:36 am

oh luc, he's awful! he's a food critic and generally smug person. google him!

11:36 am

Scarlet, that is interesting! tildes and all that?

11:37 am

hmm, ata, we're not playing a game. want to?

11:37 am

oooooo yes, feather!

11:37 am

Than Ata came in and made it so much easier for us with her secret shortcut!!

hi feather, my connection has an awful lag again today

11:37 am

k, will start one

11:37 am

hi TO

11:37 am

He's done film directing as well, don't forget, Atalante.

11:37 am

I once took my cat on a city bus in a bag and the poor thing was mewing really loud and causing such a disturbance I had to get off the bus. I never did that again

11:38 am

This guy is a film director Ata ?

11:38 am

i tend to lose track when the games just silently disappear

11:38 am

urf, yes, he is. I forgot that bit of his life!

11:38 am

Hasn't he directed some famous stuff? Obviously so famous I can't remember it.

11:38 am

feather, what games?

11:39 am

Poor bag-kittie, Annie!

11:39 am

scrabble annie

11:39 am

he directed "Death wish"...

11:39 am

over on facebook, the scrabulous application

11:39 am

Death Wish

11:39 am

Yes- I knew it was something cheerful sounding.

11:39 am

thanks, feathre

11:39 am

*feather

11:39 am

With Charles Bronson?

11:40 am

Annie--Bunny Sebastian was mopey and not eating this AM, but I pushed greens into him and he is perking up. He needs to poop. Bunnies get a problem called GI stasis wheich can lead to death rapidly.

11:40 am

yes scarlet and Jill Ireland...

11:40 am

It's a wonder the Goths haven't adopted that for one of the perfumes Vicuna was sampling the other day.

11:40 am

His late wife...

11:40 am

soooo sweet, nick's fallen asleep with his thumb and lovey, a little square of a security blanket

hmmm - do i get the list? or come back later and hope inspiration strikes?

11:40 am

She died from breast cancer, I think?

11:41 am

owl if you can do this one listless, you have much to be proud of. it's tough

11:41 am

Get the list, TO. (Waiting for Ata to say the opposite)

11:41 am

Or uterine cancer?

11:41 am

Oh dear, I hope Bunny Sebastian gets everything back to normal for him

11:41 am

wouldn't know about that scarlet...

11:41 am

get the list ;)

11:41 am

She seemed so "fragile" in real life, Luc.

11:41 am

WHAT? Ata said that????

11:41 am

TY, Annie. I am going upstairs to check on him now.

11:41 am

Blow you! You're just saying that to spite me!

11:41 am

yes she did scarlet

11:42 am

i feel validated :)

11:42 am

I am hallucinating then, Luc... it cannot be!

11:42 am

Now she's going to be smug for not being predictable!

11:42 am

of course *grin*

11:42 am

Ata--TY for sharing the SearchForge.net site and Allchars----more fun to download and learn about!

11:42 am

she did, you're right haz... looks like she's winking, right?

ladies, ladies.....

11:42 am

11:42 am

She's an imp.

11:43 am

Ata, did you invent the internet?

11:43 am

11:44 am

I want to be an imp too!

11:44 am

Hello Flask - pr5/12 meaning before, or one sometimes vowel short of the place you go to if you're a celebrity with a breakdown

11:44 am

12:08 pm

:-D

12:08 pm

You have worked in many places

ooooh...

All of it contracted for a certain period of time...

12:09 pm

une i need the 6/30 an

12:09 pm

so, you are an independent contractor?

Usually I can extend, but, I often dont because I get a little homesick. believe it or not!

I work through a staffing company, my overseas work I do with Medecins Sans Frontieres...

but thats "volunteer"

12:10 pm

ci 5 clue?

12:10 pm

kind of cloud, plural

12:10 pm

are you a job shopper red, my husband was when we first married, we moved al over east coast never more than 1 yr at same place

12:10 pm

thanks

LOL Une, thats the name of my company, un plural...

12:11 pm

cool!

No, I am a traveller...its a part of Nursing culture, not Job shopping, contracting.

12:11 pm

une i need the 6/30 an

I guess sometimes Beth thats also necessary to move up in some professions. It must have been sort of a pain!

12:12 pm

an 6 -- a money lender often is a b****r

12:13 pm

Hello all! I'm having a bit of trouble getting started on this one. Is it just me, or is it today's grid?

gwen, I swear its the grid, not you...

12:13 pm

Whew.

12:13 pm

gwen i had trouble starting at first last night too

12:14 pm

i gwen - not an easy grid today...

12:14 pm

babble the word i think it is wont fit

12:14 pm

Well then, there's no shame in heading to the list early. (At least, not in my book!)

12:14 pm

co 5/14 I need for my last c?

12:14 pm

is there a difference? we were under contract too,, in engineering it is called shopping. you get a contract to work for x amount of time. when time is up you can move on or extend if they still need you. it is your choice where you want to go. not a negative term, just what engineers call it :)

12:15 pm

Please surround me in many smelly fish... I just monkied the darned ch5/14 above the eating noise... duh!

12:15 pm

an 6 --- add a boat/ship that moves oil

12:16 pm

will a flounder do scarlet ?

We dont call it shopping, I guess because to me shopping implies that someday I might buy, and stay some place...

But its essentially the same thing...

12:16 pm

Very nicely, thank you, Luc. LOL

12:16 pm

we had fun red. no kids just the cat and us. some good places some not so good, but always interesting.

12:17 pm

Phone..

12:17 pm

should be: an 6 --- add a boat/ship that moves oil: t****r

12:17 pm

babble is thier a ch in that?

I know a nurse couple that travels with their kids...homeschools, I think its too difficult actually, but no kids, makes things fun, for the most part.

12:17 pm

what didthe cat think about moving so much?

12:18 pm

we call it spping because the agenciex that contract you are called "job shops" we did finally "buy" when i got prenant. i miss the travelling sometimes.

my dog gets wierd each time we move, but he is starting to get better at it...no cats!

I dont know why but we always call it travelling...When I show up at a new job I'm introduced as the traveller...

12:19 pm

an 6 --add a sore inside your mouth: c****r sore

12:23 pm

12:23 pm

12:24 pm

rurru did you get the co 5/14?

12:24 pm

they are very hoity toity & show their displeasure in all sorts of imaginative ways

12:26 pm

12:27 pm

12:29 pm

I thought it was only my cat that peed on the bed!?!?!??!

maybe I should have made it tiny...

12:29 pm

still not getting that co lol

12:30 pm

she was a beauty, but long gone now.

12:30 pm

flask heck no my cat has been doing it practicaly since we got her we have plastic on bed ever since

12:30 pm

oh he is BEAUTIFUL!

12:30 pm

she was my cat before marriage flask & didnt like sharing.

He's handsome, but...nervy!

12:31 pm

he really is handsome!

My sister had trouble with her cat when she got married also Beth!

12:31 pm

how old is he?

12:31 pm

its only when she's left alone in house that she does it....does anyone know why?

12:31 pm

MLF, it sounds like a type of snake, but change the 2nd consonant

12:31 pm

babble?

I will tell him you said he was pretty Ata. He will like it.

12:31 pm

flask pees on bed?

12:32 pm

Great news! Bunny Sebastian has pooped and is acting like his perky self now! Yippee! Now I will ski in the woods, relieved about my bunny.

He will be 2 in March...

Yay Sebastian!!!!

12:32 pm

they are very territorial.

12:32 pm

lmao...MLF...

12:32 pm

betth you arent kidding

12:32 pm

Bunnies are territorial too. Callie Bunny often pees to mark her territory.

12:32 pm

hooray scrabbler! yay for bunny poop!

12:33 pm

co 5 ---add a baby carriage: ***m

12:33 pm

I thought he looked young. He still has a lot of time to learn calmmness then ...

12:33 pm

pr 5/12 clue please

12:33 pm

I put fresh litter boxes in his room so i could see if he pooped.

12:33 pm

these co clues arent getting me anywhere lol

I hope he does. He is 10o% lovely but jumps on everyone, and thats a bad habit, I have tried a million things to break it....nothing works...

12:34 pm

yay Sebastian!

12:34 pm

I shall return later.

but otherwise, hes been good...

Have fun Scrabbler!

12:34 pm

red my male cat loves to bed petted and wants attention

12:34 pm

Gwenski...the an5 clue doesn't work!

12:34 pm

i know that issue, red!

12:35 pm

pr 5 --- means before and often is followed by "to"

I'm hoping as he ages it will become less "fun" they say its a self rewarding behavior. always fun no matter what...

12:36 pm

u just got the pr 5/12 wohooo

12:36 pm

if lizsark comes on, you might want to talk to her about it. she has a young lab that is a nightmare in a lot of ways. She may know some different things to try!

12:36 pm

Take the an5 (silly action) and add a consonant to make an6. (Sounds like the an5)

Go MLF Go!

12:37 pm

now red if only i could get this darn co lol

12:37 pm

I think if people put in half as much time understanding other people as they do with their pets what a wonderful world it would be

that would be good. Teulu for the most part is a good boy...his other thing is that he barks incessantly at inatimate objects, but on that account he is improving...

12:37 pm

babble nahh no fun

12:37 pm

Sorry Gwenski [thought you said vowel first time] ok got it now, thanks!

12:38 pm

No telling what I said, but I know what I meant! :)

12:38 pm

ph 8 clue pls?

12:38 pm

The same with Oscar - Liz's dog - though he *destroys* things as well

12:39 pm

ph 8 --- add full of piss and vinegar: ***rge***

thank goodness Ata that he is not a destroyer... he chews what I give him, but nothing else!!

12:40 pm

babble...what????

12:41 pm

ditto with the wha?

12:41 pm

Don't know how, but I understood the clue, BR!

12:41 pm

ph8 sounds like learning to spell words the way they sound with a different vowel in the middle

12:42 pm

gwen you must be smarter then me lol

I didnt...

12:42 pm

shir glad we are in same boat lol

12:42 pm

fireworks! ph 8 rhymes with when you kids are running all over they are so --

12:42 pm

us either red

12:42 pm

red, have you ever seen the dog whisperer? when i was sleeping in rec room after shoulder surgery would have thetv on at all hours because of pain. he has a wonderful way wit all kinds of behavior issues with dogs . aggression, barking jumping etc. i know he has videos. maybe your library might get them for you (if you are home long enough to reserve or request) he was amazing to watch

12:42 pm

congrats. ypsigirl

12:43 pm

I don't think smarter is the right word. (But I'll accept that as a compliment, regardless!)

12:43 pm

GOT IT WOOHOO

12:43 pm

k, figured out the ph, was good clue BR, just took a while

12:43 pm

yay ypsigirl!

12:43 pm

tyv sassy GREAT clue

I have beth! In truth, I probably need to work harder with him to socialize him. He loves people, and gets wild when they pay him attention!

12:43 pm

thx......good story about the mother br.

12:43 pm

yvw, MLFAN17

12:44 pm

he sounds like my Hobbit. Just goes mad when people love her

Its jsut hard to have 78 pounds of wild love, yo know...

12:44 pm

sassy can you clue the co6?

12:44 pm

hard to be angry with a dog that loves to loved :)

12:45 pm

my gr pyrannees pup is 86 lbs of unbridled love

This is true...

12:45 pm

... with a tail that hurts when whacked against you at full speed!

12:45 pm

co6: created together

12:45 pm

beth thats the way my hubby is with our cats even if my female cat is bad

Pyrs are supposed to make very loyal pets Lady, I'll bet your is very loyal!!!

12:46 pm

ty gwen great clue as well

12:46 pm

so far, so good... but he's not yet 9 mos old, so still needs a lot of training

12:46 pm

gwen are any of the 7and 8 co's related to it?

Does he jump?

12:47 pm

sorry MLFAN17, I was away when you asked

12:47 pm

What's E.T. short for?

12:47 pm

Not there yet, sorry MLF. (Paying too close attention to the chat, I guess.)

12:47 pm

extra terrestrial

12:47 pm

So he can fit in his space ship.

12:47 pm

you mean does he knock people over by trying to stand up with his paws on them? yes

12:47 pm

its okay sassy

12:47 pm

if you are an animal person god gives you an blind spot when it comes to bad behavior. i would have strung my kids up if they peed on the bed or did half of the evil things our parrot has done

12:47 pm

no, MLF, the 7's and 8's are different

12:47 pm

ohhh - that's baaaaad, BR

beth, you are making me laugh now!

12:48 pm

do you want clues for them?

12:48 pm

yes please sassy

12:48 pm

my dog isn't big enough for that, so what she does is goes round to people's backs and tries to knock them over but jumping up at the back of their knees

12:48 pm

parrots are very humorous when they are not yours :)

12:49 pm

co 7's - think of what metal does when it gets old, and change middle vowel

12:49 pm

co 8's past tense of the 7's

12:49 pm

Thanks, sassy!!

Your dog is precious Ata, I love the way she looks out into the chat!!!

12:49 pm

sassy i got the 7/36 for that

12:50 pm

adn the 8/55

12:50 pm

Storm is so big (and so powerful), it's a challenge to move when he wants attention. he pushes you up against a wall and pins you there

12:50 pm

she has a plan ata, and carries it out - very sophisticated thought patterns :}

12:50 pm

Hobbit's problem really is that she's far too clever for her own good! I always wonder how she realised people tend to stagger if she gets them at the back of their knees!

12:51 pm

sassy theirs another co 7 right?

Dogs....have plans, that they never reveal...

12:51 pm

did you get the other set - also 7/36 and 8/55?

12:51 pm

i have one co 6

12:51 pm

she does, beth! its quite amazing. then its equally amazing when you throw her a titbit and she doesn't even notice so it bounces off her nose. so clever ... so dumb ...

12:51 pm

they are always thinking behind thier smiling faces

12:51 pm

sassy 7 and 8 co no

12:52 pm

then dogs would feel right at home running for office

12:52 pm

lol ata !

12:52 pm

just like the other co pair, but use a different vowel in the middle

Babble, I swear my dog has more heart than some current politicians...

12:54 pm

GOT IT TY

12:54 pm

great, yw

12:54 pm

phew great clues sassy

12:54 pm

12:55 pm

oh same here, red! we'd all be wiggling our butts at friends, neighbours, enemies, everyone, if Hobbit was in office

12:55 pm

always happy to help if i can

There you go Ata, Hobbit for PM!!!!

12:55 pm

ch 5/18 please?

12:55 pm

no need to be swearing!!

12:56 pm

i dont have the em either

Oh sorry BR, I know its a PG site, gives BR the pitiful look!

12:56 pm

ch = taking big bite

12:56 pm

12:56 pm

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

hi rows a few of us need that one too

12:58 pm

cheddar

12:58 pm

em7 - another word for a shopping center- ends with 2 vowels

12:58 pm

that would be correct, rows

12:58 pm

got the ch woohoo

12:58 pm

YARG, typed in the wrong box. :P

12:59 pm

<-- not Rows, actually the Infinite Bob at Rows house.

12:59 pm

Blame me, not her.

12:59 pm

1:00 pm

hello bob

it's ok rows or bob, whomever you want to be!!

1:00 pm

first mo 5/12 clue please?

1:00 pm

I got it from that, sassy, thanks!

1:00 pm

The strangest thing just happened: a huge bluejay just flew dead, smack-on into the kitchen window (it didn't break, but it made a big noise) and I ran outside to see if he was all right... I touched his neck to see if he had any pulse and he righted himself in one leap, looked at me, and took a few steps... wobbled for a bit, then flew off...very odd.

1:00 pm

ruru is that a 5/16?

1:00 pm

em + holes in skin, drop late vowel and add two others

1:01 pm

Bad radar?

1:01 pm

alright, UNCLE... I cannot see the ch5, 16 no matter what I try

1:01 pm

whew Scarlet, glad hes alright! Your windows are too clean!

1:01 pm

5:57 pm

I second that request, Mamabear!

5:57 pm

5:57 pm

my phd supervisor always swore by lemon, honey and whisky as a drink to get rid of colds. And I have to say, its always worked for me!

5:57 pm

po6/27 ... isn't that stuff people used to put in their hair?

5:57 pm

po6.27 is a hair cream used in the (really) olden days or po + crazy + vowel

5:57 pm

Herin, isn't that like absinthe??

5:58 pm

brylcreem esque

5:58 pm

that's made of wormwood, too

I know that Pelinkovac is made of wormwood and other veil stuff that works

5:58 pm

Ty Lady & Lynxxx

5:58 pm

thanks!

5:58 pm

absinthe is made of doctored wormwood nowadays

5:58 pm

and it has a past tense???? good grief

5:59 pm

the po7 is a past tense of that

5:59 pm

Scrabs - how is Sebastion?

5:59 pm

lol yes mama

Ata unless you make it yourself

5:59 pm

wonder how these two differ...doctored how, Ata?

Scrabler my dear is one of the bunnys sick?

6:00 pm

Bunny Sebastian returned to his usual self by the early afternoon--he perked up, ate some greens, and finally pooped. Our children sure do worry us when they get sick.

Poor Sebastian

6:00 pm

it has the poisonous bit distilled out

6:00 pm

thats a relief!

6:00 pm

probably more of a relief for poor sebastian

6:01 pm

bye everyone - off to have a lazy lazy day

Ata but its the poisonous bit that is the fun part :P

6:01 pm

bye lynxxx

6:01 pm

So it's a health drink, now. ;)

6:01 pm

Bye lynxx, thanks for clues

6:01 pm

herin--he was in pain--bellyache presumably, and inactive and not eating. Bunnies can be afflicted with GI stasis, sort of like constipation, and can die of bacterial overgrowth.

Later Lynxx have a good day.

AWWW Scrabbler i do hope he gets better. poor bunny

6:02 pm

in what way exactly, herin??!!

6:02 pm

I lost a grand-bunny that way, Scrabbler....

6:02 pm

I forced greens into him and massaged his belly. I could hear the gas rumbling in his belly.

Ata thats the bit that gives you a buzz in small amounts.

6:03 pm

Mamabear--my dear Benjamin Bunny died despite being treated at the vet's for 3 days.

6:03 pm

it was my daughter's bunny, scrab - she died on the way to the vet in my daughter's arms.....

6:03 pm

Awwww... poor guy. I keep thinking my guinea pig is constipated. She makes a lot of noise when she poops now. I had a Benjamin, too! He was my litter trained one.

Ok ill behave now

6:04 pm

um, no, thats the bit that kills you in small amounts!

Mama that is so sad

6:04 pm

Mama..that's so sad.

6:04 pm

I've never had the stuff. I heard it tastes bad.

6:04 pm

I used to give my cholicky kids a bay leaf tea ... wonder if that would work on animals?

6:04 pm

mo 5/12? the first one

6:04 pm

So sad, mama---rabbits can get very sick very quickly!

6:05 pm

I had Benjamin Bunny and Pita Rabbit.

6:05 pm

thujone is a neurotoxin ... it gives you a brief high but then isn't good. modern absinthe contains a small amount of thujone and about the same amounts of wormwood as "old" absinthes

6:05 pm

mo5/12 is a woman's name, mama

6:05 pm

it tastes *foul*, krista! its up to 70% alcohol

6:05 pm

yes it was very sad, but they have another bunny and now a new puppy...

6:05 pm

hello

6:05 pm

I had Butchie, Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny and Rusty---I miss them.

Absenth Ata is great

6:07 pm

He looks like a little angel.

6:07 pm

6:07 pm

its very good when you're already drunk lol, then you can't taste the stuff

6:07 pm

Yes, it's illegal in the whole US, Herin.

6:07 pm

i might not be able to stay...he's having trouble settling to sleep

6:07 pm

awww thats adorable Feather!

6:07 pm

as they say, absinthe make the heart grow fonder

6:08 pm

lol jilli

6:08 pm

Cute Nick and Daniel!!

6:08 pm

Or, contrariwise, absence makes the heart go wander

6:08 pm

wait..just read that it's legal to purchase and own here, just not to produce or sell...so I could get it from another country (if I wanted to, which i don't)

6:08 pm

Cute, Jilli :)

6:09 pm

I think I saw Hook, but don't remember a name from there

6:09 pm

yep, I have 2 bottles here that I have to bring over to the US next time I come LOL

Thats cause the states has to keep its rep of soft beer

6:09 pm

;)

Feather that is cute

6:09 pm

I like that, jilli... absence makes the heart..... got to remember that one

mo 5/12: mo*** Kelly from the movie The Cutting Edge

6:11 pm

thanks, minver... I was trying to clue, but my movie-going has dried up the last 10 years... I don't know anything about stars or movies nowadays

6:11 pm

You are very welcome. Just remember name of movie

6:11 pm

you should definitely have some once, krista!

6:11 pm

I didn't see the movie either, unfortunately.... now I have a very severe mental block built against this word

6:11 pm

I'm a movie buff, so most of my clues relate to movies

6:11 pm

What do u do with it, Herin?

6:12 pm

ok, he's settled again

6:12 pm

how is the grid?

6:12 pm

the grid is nasty

6:12 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the po 6/27 word please

6:12 pm

ewww ok

6:12 pm

It is a monster, Featherbee!

6:12 pm

if Krista gets some, she has to share!!!

6:12 pm

It is a tough one. I have been off and on all day today

6:12 pm

getting out 10 foot pole

6:12 pm

po6/27 = hair stuff

Wormwood? I used to smoke it now i use it to cleanse the house mixed with other stuff.

6:13 pm

First time I heard of it was when I saw Dracula with my boyfriend, and he said that's what they were drinking in the scene where Gary and Winona first meet

6:13 pm

po + I **** it all by myself!!!

6:13 pm

Mama--m + 2 vowels + hook + vowel

6:13 pm

Ata's bringing us some on her next stateside visit, Mama.

6:13 pm

smoke it? that sounds ...

6:13 pm

thanks scrab!

Ata i think the word your looking for is STUPID. Its ok

6:14 pm

I swear I tried every combination possible on that one

I was stupid and ill admit

6:14 pm

Thank you for the po6/27 clue. I just found the word

6:14 pm

Mama, Hazel would not approve that type of simplistic clue, but I know you were desperate.

6:14 pm

LOL, I wasn't going to say that! honest LOL

Its ok i don't mind

6:15 pm

I watched the Bourne Ultimatum last night--action thriller! Tonight I am going to watch Freedom Writers. At least when I find my last 25 words.

6:15 pm

didn't it just taste horrid?

6:15 pm

heck with hazel... desperate times deserve desperate measures

Nod

No it doesn't Ata

6:15 pm

really>? interesting!

Don't do it it leads to interesting head messups

6:16 pm

ok how about the co 7 and 8 right after what goes in the top of a wine bottle?

6:16 pm

Is it a pagan thing, or just a, uh, stupid thing, Herin?

6:17 pm

Taking note - heck with hazel....

6:17 pm

LOL

6:17 pm

My skiing friend didn't end up going out of town, so i will have a skiing buddy in the woods tomorrow. Today I was alone, except there were many people on the trails.

6:17 pm

If nobody needs clues, I'll do something else for a while...

6:17 pm

oops.... hi Haz...... *blushing*

6:17 pm

co 7/36 means to deteriorate or to impair mamabear

6:17 pm

Freedom Writers...will have to look that up

Krista the burning in the house is my pagan thing. The smoking was stupid and was for a cheap buzz

6:17 pm

Haha, Hazel! Is your computer programmed to alert you when your name is mentioned?

6:17 pm

hi haz

Hi Haz

6:18 pm

no offense intended, Haz.... please forgive the humble bear

6:18 pm

I'll leave you to your blushes, mama - glad you're okayish after your accident.

6:18 pm

Hazel :D

6:18 pm

later, jilli

6:18 pm

No, just happened to be passing - going again - BYE!

6:18 pm

I'll have to ask my wiccan friends if they do that. Interesting.

6:18 pm

co 8/55 is past tense of the co 7/36 word mamabear.

6:18 pm

thanks, haz....... {{{{haz}}}}}

6:18 pm

Mamabear--what accident were you involved with?

6:19 pm

I was in a car accident on Jan 15th. scrab

6:19 pm

Oh, dear, Mamabear--are you OK? Obviously you are alive.

6:19 pm

the first co7/36 co8/55 combo is just like the second, only with a different vowel.

6:19 pm

Mama, so sorry!!

6:19 pm

isn't that the last co 7 and 8 combo?

6:19 pm

hey ata, wait'll you see what i just did a bingo with! i totally didn't think it would be accepted

6:19 pm

oh my, mama!

6:19 pm

Hi Babblers, I see you are ok MAmabear, how is the car?

6:20 pm

Guten Abend, Freundin Inge!

6:20 pm

It's not gaydars, is it, Feather? (one of Ata's words)

6:20 pm

the insurance company has deemed my car totaled.....

MAMMA Bear are you ok? hugs

6:20 pm

Hi everyone

6:20 pm

hi inge

6:20 pm

oooooo! *looks*

6:20 pm

hi Mom

6:20 pm

TAg Scrabbler, waiting for the warm spell

6:21 pm

Hi Ladynatts

6:21 pm

thank you for all the kind hugs.....

6:21 pm

Then it was a pretty damaging event, mambear

6:21 pm

oh wow!!!

6:21 pm

Hey Mom....Inge, your sunny icon is warm to look at.

6:21 pm

I don't want the snow to melt yet, Inge--this is cross-country ski season and today was just perfect out on the trails.

6:21 pm

I wonder if I can post pics on my profile.... let me see

6:22 pm

Mamabear--you are SO lucky!

6:22 pm

Only because I am too lazy to follow the icon themes

6:22 pm

{{Krista}} hello

Krista mixed wormwood and sandlewood i used for my contact with the departed spells. There is a lot of stuff i do on my own that is hard to explain. None of the stuff i do is black magic and anything i do i never do that will bite me in the arse. Only once did i blood curse someone and that was not nice and im glad it bit me back

6:22 pm

Me too. I"ll probably have Horus as my icon for weeks. I like your icon.

6:23 pm

herin--did you graduate from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry?

6:23 pm

it was "unrotten"

6:23 pm

I love the smell of sandlewood. Yes, use your powers for good, missy. I meant to ask you..how is the diet going?

6:23 pm

Herin, did you meet Harry Potter at school???

6:23 pm

mamabear, did you get my co clue?

Scrabbler seriously i find that kinda cute but insulting. I have been a pagan wiccan witch for about 15 years

6:23 pm

why do you think she got a cat? ;)

6:23 pm

it was fab, feather!!

6:24 pm

**wonders if Babble allows unrotten**

Krista fantastic on the diet frount

6:24 pm

an it harm none, do what ye will

6:24 pm

sorry, herin, did not mean to offend

Hey my cat is white so maybe she could be a bleached witches cat. pounders

6:24 pm

I love following the thems & I love to see those icons of babblers who also follow the themes.Friday's is my favorite theme, but not many participate in themes.

6:24 pm

No insult meant, herin---I am fascinated.

6:25 pm

my 2 cats are black... what does that say?

6:25 pm

I thought Pagan and Wiccan were different paths to tread ....

No offense taken. THat is why i do talk about it.

6:25 pm

And I am a huge Harry Potter fan with fantasies of attending Hogwarts.

6:25 pm

I'm not sure why I got out of it, Min, because I like it too. Probably afraid I'll miss something on the chog. ;) What is today's theme?

Feather i used the Dig Macro on my camera for my icon that is the result. I am lucky i have a patient cat.

6:26 pm

they dont admit anyone over age 18 Scrabbler

6:26 pm

Did u see Ace of Cakes Thurs? They did a cake for H Potter premiere. It was awesome.

6:26 pm

oh wow, that's awesome herin! i needed to refresh

6:26 pm

Today's them is Safari, hence the giraffe icon Krista.

6:26 pm

and herin, did you see my 6:24 comment?

6:26 pm

and my lion too :D

6:26 pm

I thought Wicca is a form of paganism, Ata.

6:27 pm

Today's theme is Safari, hence the giraffe icon Krista

6:27 pm

But Inge, I will fake my birthdate! I want to live in Gryffindor and play Quidditch, and be a Hogwarts student so bad!!!!!!!

That is Right on both counts. I am a little brain dead this am.

Yes i did Feather

6:28 pm

its a specific path within the bounds of paganism, however they aren't the same thing. Wicca is a much more precise form of living than "paganism".

Feather i have more stuff at flicka. The pics labled titled Dig Macro are of that setting

Thank you Ata i seem to have lost my power of thinking and speech this fine morning

6:29 pm

what about all those poor sick kiddies?

6:29 pm

ok, here's a pith helmet (first thing that came to mind for safari)

6:29 pm

grrr, can't get into your flickr

6:29 pm

I need a new career, Inge--I am getting burn-out.

6:30 pm

argh! daniel skipped his nap today and is being especially annoying right now. will have to bbl.

6:30 pm

good luck feather

6:30 pm

Cranky Boy Daniel---you get to bed now!

6:30 pm

he's on the verge of giving them up, but i don't like how he acts when he skips one

6:30 pm

bye bye Feather

6:31 pm

i must have missed something, Ata..chog going fast..did someone say it's the same thing?

6:31 pm

I can't remember how to put new pics on flickr

6:31 pm

*cranky mamabee poof*

Feather it worked for me.

6:31 pm

I spent a lot of time researching for tomorrow's icon theme. It gave me nightmares last night, actually.

Mama use a yahoo mail account

Natts that is true.

Ok later gators i have to bounce off to a shower and go across the road and do shoping

6:32 pm

I have pictures on there I just can't remember how to get to it

6:32 pm

I put babblers icon and bag into my friends, list, so I can call it up for icon themes

6:32 pm

I got the co 7/8 clue, Lady... thanks

6:32 pm

Is ec5 related to the ec4 beofre it?

6:32 pm

Natts, I can't handle that stuff.

6:33 pm

NM, it is.

6:33 pm

have a great day, herin

6:33 pm

blessed be

6:33 pm

I also clued co 7/8 for you mambear. Glad you got it!

6:33 pm

not really, krista. I was just intrigued as to how Herin called herself a Paganist Wiccan Witch

6:33 pm

NVM, Ata, I see what you meant now.

6:33 pm

oh good mama, it was quite a while ago, and lots of chat followed, so I wasn't sure

6:33 pm

Bye Herin.

6:34 pm

13 to go and I haven't looked at the CO words yet.

6:34 pm

thanks min!

6:34 pm

and tomorrow's theme is Holocaust memorial day

6:34 pm

Kind of redundant, to me.

6:34 pm

that's what I meant, inge... it gave me nightmares last night, as I picked my icon

6:34 pm

Like saying you are a Christian Methodist Churchgoer

6:35 pm

yes exactly :P

6:35 pm

On to the CO's--9 to go. This grid has been endless, it seems.

6:35 pm

I was just wondering which was the important one

6:35 pm

I think the icon themes are often redundant. We've had safari before & dice a couple of time before too.

6:36 pm

first co is a repeat section of a music song

6:36 pm

Feet is another icon theme that has been redundant.

6:36 pm

I've thought of suggesting an icon topic, but I'm relatively new and don't know what's been done before

6:36 pm

Well some icons should be held over for a few days, since thre are so many possible pictures

6:36 pm

Let do a redundant icon theme theme!

6:37 pm

lol! :D

6:37 pm

LOL Krista

6:37 pm

I have also thought about suggesting a theme, but it eventually becomes a theme, like pictures of yourself

6:37 pm

why can't I get this to work......

6:38 pm

Well, in Feb. we will do state flowers, state birds, state nicknames etc. I asked for it. Babblers not living in US states can do teh same for their coutry or province.

6:38 pm

so you telepathically suggest themes then, min?

6:38 pm

Need to go. Thanks for the clues and the chat.

6:38 pm

"corrite" seems like a real word, doesn't it? NOT!

6:38 pm

Will catch up on Scrabulous games tomorrow (if it's still there).

6:38 pm

Bye krista

6:38 pm

bye Krista see you tomorrow

6:38 pm

Good, Krista.

6:39 pm

am I being stupid not seeing the i word?

6:39 pm

No, you are not stupid, Ata, it is right there.

6:39 pm

there are two co 7 words meaning to turn to rust, ony the penultimate vowel is different, then make them past tense

6:39 pm

Niters!

6:39 pm

ata, you could get IR*** ... but it's a different consonant

6:39 pm

Hey all- 2 words left

6:39 pm

It sounds similar to an IR word meaning angry.

6:40 pm

she's not stupid? *mental image of Atalante falls apart* ;-)

6:40 pm

hello all...

6:40 pm

6:40 pm

gotcha, red!

7:53 pm

thank goodness for triage red... took one of my kids in thursday to urgent care because he showed signs of the aura I get before most migraines. Turns out he had an ocular migraine, but I was worried, the nurse really reassured me while we waited.

8:27 pm

sounds yum, jac. I'm on a preprandial red wine

8:28 pm

8:28 pm

8:30 pm

8:31 pm

Oops! No, it isn't. Just looked it up. It's a Muslim ruler's decree, apparently.

8:31 pm

na5/12 rhymes with terpsichore

8:31 pm

na5 = rhymes with da*** (move rhythmically to music)

8:32 pm

LOL, erosion of rock by water was the first co7/36.

8:32 pm

Go, Tanja!

8:32 pm

okay so my monkey can't find it yet........

8:32 pm

What the 'ir', bb?

8:33 pm

8:34 pm

8:35 pm

8:35 pm

Oh drat! The cat's just gone right under my desk to the back, which is up against a wall. If he doesn't co4 out of his own volition it's going to be a devil to get him out of there.

8:35 pm

what's the new coif like, bb?

8:35 pm

thx for the na help :)

8:35 pm

a longer version of a clara bow

8:36 pm

8:36 pm

Oh, a bob! LOL

8:36 pm

and bee-kissed lips?

8:37 pm

I loved her hair in the It Girl

8:37 pm

LOL, jilli. Have you seen those machines they used to do perms with in 'the old days'?

8:38 pm

ch7 44 please

8:38 pm

Babble ate my cluing of ch5, with a verse from Mull of Kintyre...waah!

8:39 pm

jac, have I SEEN them??? I've been a VICTIM!

8:39 pm

The ch 7/44 word is a kind of cheese Tanja.

8:39 pm

Tanja - a type of cheese you might Gorge yourself with.

8:39 pm

ch7= is a type of yellow cheese, sharp or mild

8:40 pm

you know, I'm no good at finding big words, but I got that cheese one all by myself before anyone else did!!!

8:40 pm

jilli - I had a feeling you might say that about the permanent wave machine, that's why I put 'the old days' in inverted commas. LOL

8:40 pm

nope, no marcel waves, but i did put color in my hair for the first time in maybe 20+ years........

8:40 pm

or aged and extra sharp... yummmmmm

8:40 pm

pam - That's my ex Ma-in-Law, not a cheese!

8:40 pm

LOLOLOL, jac

8:41 pm

jac, the result was ghastly -- all frizz

8:41 pm

aged and extra sharp -- I'd like to be that

8:41 pm

I can imagine, jilli. What was it like being hooke up to the thing, though? And did your hair go brittle and break off afterwards?

8:42 pm

jilli - I was thinking of extra sharp as 'bitchy and pernickety' rather than 'bright as a button'.

8:42 pm

yum - had the short version lol pk last one ch5 16

8:42 pm

no worse than sitting under a dryer with a book to read, jac. And no, the frizz just grew out. I was all of 13.

8:43 pm

Tanja - ch5/16 is the short word for cancer treatment.

8:43 pm

oh of course - should have picked that up arlier

8:43 pm

thank you all - fire works

8:44 pm

jac -- interesting diff between US and UK -- US says perSnickety

8:44 pm

LOL, jilli, I've shoved many clients under the driers with a magazine... and then forgotten them. (I used to work in a salon many, many moons ago.)

8:44 pm

Yay for Tanja!!!

8:44 pm

Well done, Tanja.

8:44 pm

YAY Tanja!!!

8:44 pm

HUZZAH Tanja!

8:45 pm

jilli - the word makes sense either way; sounds like what it means.

8:45 pm

Congratulations Tanja on your fireworks!Good for U!

8:45 pm

lovely fussy word, eh jac?

8:45 pm

ty all - tis a nice feeling on a small puzzle - i tend to get frustrated if i dont get it now on anything less than a 150 words

8:46 pm

Another word, a grid word, that sounds like what it means is ch5/18 - get your gnashers into a chunk of food.

8:46 pm

BTW, hi min!

8:46 pm

Min -- how are you liking your new house?

8:47 pm

8:51 pm

Indian flatbread, bb.

8:51 pm

na4 is Indian bread

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

Now it is often dark by the time I get home. I teach an after school program, so I'm at work up until 5:30.

8:51 pm

what's your job, min? Sorry -- I've forgotten

8:51 pm

tyvm once again i am blind as a bat

8:52 pm

I've got the co 8 meaning rust and the an 8 but could do with clues for the other please

8:52 pm

na4 is the next word anagrammed

8:52 pm

katie - ph8 is like the way of spelling things how they sound but change the first vowel.

8:52 pm

fran

8:52 pm

the other what, katie?

8:52 pm

fran's duck is here

8:53 pm

Thanks Jac :-)

8:53 pm

and the volcano

8:53 pm

co8 (1st) is like the 2nd but change the 2nd vowel.

8:53 pm

co7/8 is the same as the one meaning rust; just change one vowel.

8:53 pm

Sorry Jill I am looking for the other 8s I only need a co8 now

Bb thats a goose not a duck. But still bird like

8:54 pm

co8 (either) is past tense, katie.

8:54 pm

Thank you got it now :-)

8:54 pm

jac jumped to it, katie

8:54 pm

I am a teacher jillibus, so I should be done with work at 3:15,but I teach an after school program 3 days a week. When I don't teach after school I can be home @ 4:30.I often have errands to do so I get home late anyway.Since the move, I often get to babble until 9 or 10 at night. Sometimes I do not get to it at all! :=(

8:54 pm

duck goose they are all swimming chickens to me!

8:54 pm

Cats have been fighting all day, now getting out of hand. I feel like a nagging mother!!

Second that bb

8:55 pm

LOL, bb. The taste entirely different.

8:55 pm

Where are you teaching, min?

8:55 pm

Speaking of cats, mine's now emerged from under my desk, thank Gawd!

8:55 pm

I still teach in Yonkers, which is where I used to live.

8:55 pm

have you ever noticed how folks will tell you something "tastes just like chicken, just like chicken"........well if I had wanted chicken I would have ordered chicken.

8:55 pm

jac, I though s/he might eventually

8:56 pm

He's now sitting on the doormat behind the front door... which means, if I've not put him to bed by the time my daughter arrives ho4, she'll brain him when she opens it!:(

8:56 pm

oh yes, Min, that's qite a commute as you know I know!

8:57 pm

woot -- no more 7s!

8:57 pm

or 8s for that matter

8:57 pm

wtg bb

8:58 pm

jilli - cat's a he (well a neutered 'he!). My she cat died last year.

8:58 pm

Lol jac, I did feel for your earlier. Fuggles cornered Crumble in a gap the other day when he was out in his ball (brave cat is my crumble!!) and I didn't realise they couldn't go backwards easily. I rescued her when I realised.

Jac what about a water pistol

8:59 pm

herin, putting him to bed is probably easier than upsetting him

8:59 pm

ach, jac. My old girl (going on 19) is fading but still eating...

8:59 pm

When I see co7, I have a picture of Squidward reading Boring Science Digest and chuckling to himself..."Heh...erosion"

8:59 pm

Cats hate going backwards as (a) they can't see what they're backing into (they also need their whiskers' width to gauge gaps) and (b) their claws aren't really meant for reversing.

No the kitty under the bench when they cant be reached

9:00 pm

brb

9:00 pm

Oh jill that's lovely. My cat, Tuppy, lasted to 18. It's lovely to have them so long, I only hope I am so lucky with my three

Were as my kitty loves water

9:01 pm

Herin - I don't need to use a water pistol on him (I only use that when he's after nests in spring). He's out from under the desk. I'll pick him up (and he'll lie in my arms with his legs in the air) after the tumble dryer's finished it's cycle. If I put him to bed in that room before than, he'll puke or worse, or both.

9:02 pm

The first time it rained Rhubarb kept leaping in and out of the cat flap as to her horror water kept falling from the sky. Cute at first, annoying after the first two hours!!

9:02 pm

Eek! its cycle. Sorry about the greengrocers' apostrophe.

9:03 pm

lol, jac. i came back to the grid at a "fun" time, LOL

9:04 pm

I did notice it, jac -- LOL!

9:04 pm

9:06 pm

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

9:06 pm

I remember my 'half cat' (Smokey, who officially lived next-door - not with the horrible neighbours we now have - but adopted us, too.) She's burst into the bathroom when I was in the bath and sit on the shelf that used to be at the back of it (before I lost that to make more room for a 2nd bathroom). She'd look down at me in horror, pat my bare shoulder with a concerned paw and miaow, 'Co4 out of there! Nasty water! What are you doing?'

9:06 pm

woohoo

9:06 pm

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

Jac that is still cute

9:06 pm

Awww jac!!! Sweet!

9:06 pm

thanks.

Hi Eg and sorry if i missed anyone

9:07 pm

Hi, Eva. No. If I shut him in the room where he sleeps, which is where the laundry gets done and the washing machine or tumble dryer are working, the noise and heat upsets him.

9:07 pm

thanks minver...started this morning, but am stuck with 34 left and my eyes drooping. Merp is in the basement looking for things to kill.

9:07 pm

em 7/36 is food em****um, but put a vowel after the i

9:07 pm

Like one of our Danes who wouldn't go into water over his ankles, but got all upset when hubby went for a swim

9:08 pm

Crumble has fallen in the bath as she loves running water and was walking round it when it poured, thank God I wasn't in it! Tuppy used to fall in it when I was in regularly when I was growing up, I surprised I have no scars

9:08 pm

rockets! now off to cook dinner. thanks to everyone who once again help to make me look brilliant finishing the grid

Jill i couldn't see a dog that big being scared

9:08 pm

He left us a shrew the other day. Doesn't like the taste of them. I thought of putting it out for the barred owl who's been hanging around looking really hungry, but didn't know whether owls will eat food that's already dead?

Yah Bb

9:09 pm

jilli - our old dog (sheltie x jack russell) used to be like that when we went into the sea.

Eva maybe if the owl is hungry it might

9:09 pm

He wasn't scared, he was worried -- brow all wrinkled, pleading noises

9:09 pm

I have a son with strep throat who's stuck in his room communicating with us on line.

9:09 pm

ch 7/44 please???

Eg that is a great idea

9:10 pm

good cheese kaz

Jill that is still cute

9:10 pm

The ch 7/44 word is a kind of cheese Kazozz.

9:10 pm

We attached a long rope (length of co4/5) to his collar once and took him in with us. It was so funny! As I lowered him over the dreaded water all 4 of his skinny legs began pumping.

9:10 pm

HI Autumn and anone else i missed

congrats Kaz

To spell something out Texas

9:25 pm

herin - if you can see the UK version somewhere on line, check out Fern Britten's psychic. She was brill. Aas was tonight's 'gat cowboy'.

9:25 pm

gl with finishing every1, see u next time around

9:25 pm

Congrats Kaz & good night

9:26 pm

Speaking of which, is there any more concrete evidence about Heath Ledger's demise, herin?

doing that know thanks

9:26 pm

wow ty herin

9:26 pm

Congratulations Kazozz on your fireworks!Way to go

9:26 pm

'gat' cowboy? Meant 'gay' cowboy.

9:27 pm

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

I did that and Jac she seems like a dick.

9:27 pm

(I was thinking of Brokeback Mountain, re Heath Ledger.)

9:27 pm

where are you Texas? I'm in Austin

9:27 pm

Goodbye Kazozz! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!

9:28 pm

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

9:28 pm

going to bed with 8 left, but can keep eyes open no longer :-) Night all, see you late tomorrow

9:28 pm

Tyler

9:28 pm

Aha, east Texas. How nice

It seems that the evidence is still not complete on Heath Ledger. They did find a variety of perscription pills so it could have been a complete mistake. He was a method actor so thus for Dark night he really did sleep for 2 hours a night and became slightly nuts for that role

9:28 pm

I've been reading a bit about Heath Ledger's background. What were their parents thinking of (other than Wuthering Heights) naming a brother and sister Heathcliffe and Cathy?? Doomed from the start! Lord!

9:28 pm

In the movie Yellow Submarine, one of the Beatles said "To the skirmish shall we he5?" and another Beatle said "I think we should stop sitting on the he5"

9:29 pm

well it's a bit cold right now lol

Jac i know of people that have named their kids strange names. I do like Heath though

9:29 pm

Goodbye katieW! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!

9:30 pm

I liked Heath, too, Herin. Frist saw him in Neighbours and then the film 'A Knight's Tale'.

It would have been Home and Away i think Jac

9:31 pm

Mind you, what I I say about people naming their kids after other people? I named my son after a rock star who died through crashing into a tree and my daughter after a lovely lady who's still going strong but wrote all her best stuff when depressed.

9:31 pm

Was it, Herin? Well I knew it was one of the Aussie soaps. LOL.

Yep

9:33 pm

Hey all. Jacula--Bunny Sebastian had a brief episode of GI stasis today that had me on edge.

9:34 pm

Back in the 80s in Neighbours, Madge had a brother called Max. He had black, curly hair and wore denim dungarees and always seemed to be yelling. I'd sat and watched that soap for my 'middle of the day rest' during my 1983/4 pregnancy an, when my son was born, he already danced along to the theme tune. One day, after Max went out of the show, he asked me, 'Mummy. Where's The Shouting Man gone?' He liked Max!

So Jac is this the woman that gave her children milk and cookies and then gassed herself?

Hi Scrabbler

9:34 pm

Hi Babblers

9:34 pm

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

9:34 pm

Hi Lady.

9:35 pm

I finished earlier but am checking in before going to bed. Hi DR and Min

9:35 pm

Hi, Scrabbs. Furball syndrome? Is he okay now?

9:35 pm

Hi Scrabs

9:35 pm

Cute pic of the kitty, Lady

9:35 pm

I named my son Rudy after his great uncle who perished in the holocaust but now one thinks of Guliani who the NYTimes didn't even endorse!

9:35 pm

Found the frosty Hebrew dance anagram pair...

Jac

http://perfectblend.net/ for the perfect neighbours nut

9:36 pm

hi all

Scrabbler that is my Kitty

9:36 pm

I am not sure what set him off(hairballs are thought secondary to the stasis, not the cause) but I massaged his belly, made him eat greens, and told him he had to poop.

9:37 pm

Hi egbok and carlee

9:37 pm

Congratulations Scrabbler on your early finish! YAY!

9:37 pm

Hi Carlee

CARLEEE pounce no sneaking in

Hi Dr too and anyone else i missed

9:37 pm

I'm all maudlin right now :(

9:37 pm

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

9:37 pm

It wasn't easy, Minveryork---it took lots of work to tease the words out of the grid.

9:37 pm

Hello DR1965!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

9:37 pm

Why, carlee?

9:37 pm

Hi again.

9:37 pm

Hi Herin.. Hi Min

9:37 pm

Why, carlee?

9:37 pm

Scrabbs - I had a very old guinea pig who got impacted. I used to have to literally turn his anus inside out to evacuate the mass. The reason for his problem was arthritis.

What is wrong Carlee

9:38 pm

What's up, carlee?

9:38 pm

I agree Scrabbler, this grid is hard! I got 2 words left

9:38 pm

my daughter and I have been watching the WHOLE series of gilmore girls... we JUST finished... we spent the last episode balling oour eyes out curled up together on sofa..and I am still all...sappy :(

9:38 pm

Sebastian refuses to eat hay, but I give him extra amounts of greens.

9:39 pm

Carlee, I never watched that show.

9:39 pm

Need clues, Minveryork?

9:39 pm

any help for the ph8?

Oh no more Gilmore Girls?

9:39 pm

Awww, carlee. I know what you mean.

9:39 pm

its a really good mother daughter show

9:39 pm

Flossie's stopped eating hay now, too, Scrabbs. Earlier, I found he'd made a nice nest of it all around his dry food bowl.

9:39 pm

one of my bichons stole a serving of string beans and got diarhea last week

9:39 pm

we finished it..all 7 seasons in 5 weeks

9:40 pm

Do you think, Scrabbs, that just like old humans, old rabbits don't like to chew too much?

9:40 pm

I LOVE GIlmore Girls {{{HUGS}}

9:40 pm

ph8 = ph + fr****** (crazy, chaotic behavior)

9:40 pm

Never seen the show, carlee. Sorry!

9:41 pm

That ph8/55 is sounds used to spell out a word gdine.

9:41 pm

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

9:41 pm

Just found the thingy that's almost a tirade...maybe it's just a mild complaint...

They say there is more episodes carlee

9:41 pm

Sebastian has refused to eat hay since he was a little guy, and he is 5 now. He is now back to himself, but I was quite anxious for several hrs.

9:42 pm

I guess is just a whole mixture of everything in our lives..this was a special time she and I spent following all the crap with hubby...

9:42 pm

no..the show finished last year...

9:42 pm

I'm sleepy and cold!

9:42 pm

Glad to hear he's okay, Scrabbs.

9:42 pm

Thatis something she will always remember, Carlee.

9:42 pm

yea..am glad to hear too scrabs {{hugs}}

9:42 pm

Scrabbler,I am waiting for somebody to ask for clues for what I need, however, thank you for the offer!

Um ok

Hey Min - how about an5/10 and 8/65

10:04 pm

wb, red!

10:04 pm

hi brooke

10:04 pm

I suppose you've all got the po6/27 and past tense? po + 'manufacture/create'? It's a hair polish from way back, think Goergian times.

10:04 pm

ty Red

10:04 pm

Or even Georgian times.

Love that term hair polish!

10:04 pm

Jacula, Just monkeyed 1 of the words I need to finish

10:05 pm

belated "hi" to everyone!

10:05 pm

Min - ask for a clue.

10:05 pm

My 9 yr old calls it hair "Jail" instead of gel.

10:05 pm

the stray cats used the po6

10:05 pm

I'm going to see if I can monkey the last word I need.

10:05 pm

10:07 pm

thanks everyone....sorry am so blah

10:07 pm

I must remember that 'hair jail' thing. It really is very good.

10:08 pm

He says word funny a lot but passes every hearing test they give him.

10:08 pm

Dont apologize for being who you are Carlee EVER!

10:09 pm

Ditto what DR just posted, carlee.

Huggles Carlee

10:09 pm

I learned that the hard way

10:09 pm

Dr. Seuss wrote a book called There's A Wocket In My Po6

sounds as he is a real southerner (eastern) at heart DR!!! i think i also say hair jail.

Red hi missed you there

10:10 pm

thanks...its just..well alot of u know..I am not a "downer" very often...

10:10 pm

great icon, fern

10:10 pm

MAybe in a past life Red

10:10 pm

We know Carlee

i'm in an out herin, hi! waiting for flip...

Grin thanks. Thats my kitty being cute

10:10 pm

DR - the thing with kids is that they interpret the words they encounter within their own experience and they also think more literally/laterally(?) than adults. This results in things like my step-daughter asking me if I want her to get me semi-skilled milk from the shop.

10:11 pm

I Love that Jac!... The one that gets me is crowns instead of crayons

I have the co 8 x 2 and a ph 8 what am i missing please?

10:12 pm

10:12 pm

Thanks.

10:12 pm

10:13 pm

aginst loud music like Iron Maiden etc.

10:13 pm

10:13 pm

10:13 pm

Goodbye carleekat! I will see you tomorrow in the log

10:13 pm

Bye, carlee

ha DR! frustrating...my mom used to get so upset when i would say venchtables...

10:14 pm

I have not heard that one before Red

10:15 pm

Oh, we have those accental differences here, too. A bus (used to be 'bus, due to being called autobus originally) is a buss in Birmingham by the university and a 'buzz' further out among the 'plebs'. LOL

yes, I was creative...

10:15 pm

creative is good

Jac, its funny how in American, anything that is different from the norm is almost alwyas classified as British!

rather in America...

SO many poor Aussie and Kiwis seem to get classified with the Brits!

Is there a AN 7?

10:17 pm

UK Estuary speak annoys me these days. More false the the original Queen's English. (May husband and eye, was NEVER real English, not many people say gorn orf, either.)

10:17 pm

nope Herin

10:17 pm

No, herin

Red we have enough words here that we brutalise quite nicely.

Thanks

Then how many an6s please

10:18 pm

3 an6's

10:18 pm

10:18 pm

Oy, red! We have more slang terms in common with our ANtipodean neighbours than we do with you in USA!

Thanks

I missed them in the chat

10:18 pm

There are 3 an 6 words herinfernallady.I need an an6

I find regional accents and speech so interesting...

I guess because I am always moving.

10:19 pm

Just saw the Beijing Olympics start 8/8/08 -- the Chinese consider 8 a lucky number :)

I wont be watching it Jill.

10:39 pm

why not, herin?

Give me one sec

I Love the Olympics, and I will watch them in China even with my own questions about China and Human rights...

Manly Human rights and animal Cruelty.

Must say it was strange to see the Today show hosts earlier this year cheerfully saying, Live frim Tienamen Square"...

10:41 pm

why deprive all the other countries of their moments of glory?

Red will you know when i tell you they are burring cats alive as they build

Heinr, this is probably true, but for the Atheletes, they don't chose the venue.

sweet potatos not wonderful tonihgt...

10:43 pm

it's the athletes who count

Well f*** it the country with that Horrific level of human rights and animal abuse deserves not to host the Oympics. Lets host it in Africa shall we?

jilli, do you feel better?

10:44 pm

Are your sweet potatoes not so sweet?I had a baked potato for dinner tonight and it was not great either

10:44 pm

yes, thanks red -- actually felt like eating something between coughings

Minver, for some reason not so hot...

Jilli, glad you are feeling better.

Same as England and they way they are handling the building of the 2012 games.

So now ill shut up since no one wants to hear the truth.

10:46 pm

i boycott anything from china and i think the usa should quit sucking up to them - anyone country who kills a child becasue it's a girl should be neutered

10:47 pm

and that's a fact jack

10:47 pm

Can I get an AMEN!!!!!

herin, I was surprised at the choice of China for the aforementioned reasons. it isnt that this stuff is a secret,

10:48 pm

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

10:48 pm

Hello Min Im good + ty

SO why didn't all the countries involve tell them to feck off?

10:48 pm

well, these skaters are aiming for the Worlds at this point anyway -- in March, in Sweden

bummer for me jilli, because i will still have no tv reception, notes to self to plan next contract better...

Hi shorty

10:50 pm

Hi Herin

Red PC your shows

i may have to herin, i'm not an avid tv watcher except for law and order, so i never know whats on!!! but with l an o i should...

10:51 pm

why no tv reception, red?

i would have to buy a dish, and for three months too expensive... i get news from npr, and sometimes see the early local at work...

thats a good idea herin!!!

10:53 pm

oh, I see -- temporary residence where you are -- ?

10:54 pm

what do you mean, PC your shows, herin?

oh yes, this New Mexican adventure comes to an end on aril 7th!!!

10:54 pm

I think you can watch some shows on your computer.

i need to go join the public library too, expand my brain, i love the library, like shopping with no commitment to buy!!

there are telly shows on the net through cbs that kinda thing buty u have to live in the stats

10:55 pm

By the way,does anybody know what TMZ stands for?

pardon spelling eating a bannana

i know it is an abbrev we use for a very old antibiotic minver...but...

i think thats not the right context...

10:57 pm

I loved the library when I had no internet and I could go there to Babble. However, one library kicked me out since games were not allowed to be played there.

10:57 pm

where did you see it min? on the tv?

lol minver!! you getting kicked out of a library for liking words!!!!!!!!!

10:58 pm

Somebody at my job asked me that question at lunch.

10:58 pm

I think there is a TMZ television show and a web site.

10:59 pm

some time ago our library didn't allow games or email because we only had a couple of terminals and it was felt they should be used for research. This no longer applies. In the kids' secton there is a terminal devoted to games (no internet there though)

Red http://wwitv.com/

11:00 pm

If games are not allowed at the library I was at,then they should block the website like they do at my job.

Just google telly online

11:02 pm

that looks like a fabulous site, herin!

I just randomed it

going now to check it herin!!

11:04 pm

Google says "TMZ.com is a celebrity gossip and news website, the result of a collaboration between AOL and Telepictures Productions, a division of Warner Bros. ..."

herin, tons of stuff!!! overwhelemd

I have no idea what is there that was a random find, I know that you can watch other USA only shows youd have to use your google

11:08 pm

na 5,12 clue please

11:08 pm

Thank you for looking that up jillibus. It does not say what the TMZ stand for though? I was just wondering

I just looked and the L and O website, apparently I can see full episodes of Medium, but not L and O...but still, I need to investigate me...

11:09 pm

min, I didn't pursue it -- maybe it says somewhere

11:10 pm

na 5, 12 please

mrk, regans sweetie nickname

11:10 pm

na 5/12 rhymes with what you might do at a wedding

wonders how small grid will be for tomorro...

11:10 pm

na5/12 rhymes with trip the light fantastic

11:10 pm

na5 rhymes with da*** (move rhythmically to music)
