Nope your sitting on it right now though

Good, kiwi

he's gonna flip his lid when he gets it but tough
Oh good Groovy because you and they boys need security. How are they handling it? do they have a Chaplain or someone at their school.
I was going to say I hope you get some support too
it's expensive to run a house and raise kids!
Well the kids have to have clothes and schools payed for and etc.
ive contacted the counsellor at kierans school and let him know and hes going to meet with him on thursday when school goes back
logans school doesnt have one but ive written a letter to the principal to let him know
my phantom: alienate
has anybody found any big words?
The kids just need some to talk to that is impartially. And im not saying your not but its hard when its your parents and you think mum my tell dad and dad may tell mu,
well, then the kids will have the support they need...
the lawyer has also recommended to the family court that they give me some govt paid for counselling even if he wont go i can

its a bit twisty to find
YEs indeed. Lovely evening spent with the b.f in the zoo. considering that it was open late for a band which we didn't like but got free tickets as the person couldn't go so we kinda had a private viewing of the place which rocked. A picnic in the Japanese Zen garden (privately) and he bought me a Puma toy. Then drinks with friend till midnight
Fa 6 x2
What a lovely evening!
Sounds great Herin
found the 9; ty chi for un 7
It was lovely. I will icon a pic me thinks

sorry if ive missed any chat directed to me but been on the phone to Ma
G'Ma said she was overjoyed at all that went on
that's good to hear, kiwi -- I bet she's supportive
typical family get together
Ma enjoying herself Groovy?
But at least she has a fridge!
and 100 words!
actually no i was busying opening all her snail mail for her and going through it and getting told what to do with it then the phone went flat so im gonna ring her back in a couple of hours for the support stuff lol
actually i dont think she is - she says its like walking on eggshells when your walking around town making sure you dont do or say anything out of place and shes not enjoying the food lol
yes...but it doesn't fit through the door, so it's still outside...works great out there though!
darn
oh lol, kiwi!

Cant say what Dan and Darth had though
Was this a superbowl thing?
An apple?? is the kid feeling ok?
Yes but I didnt go to Dan's
ok
He is 9 and very tall and weighs about 90 pounds . Not fat just solid ... wants to lose weight so he can do better at karate
we had brownies, but the kids ate so much chips, veggies, and dip that they didn't get to the brownies until right before they left
(thank goodness!)
Ha ha Brownies rip of
darn -- I was quite liking the last grid and had no time. I'm not liking this one and have more time. :(
I support whatever is good for him 100%
I see stid in the grid
your brownies or grammas
Hi Jilli
If he wants to do better at Karate that is great and good on him

points totals and being in between other words alphabetically using lickety's list of what i already had found
oh.. I think that one qualifies as one of the weirdest I have ever seen
yes same here
i agree
hilary is in the grid
almost
enigma and enigmatic
and hi all, am back ;)
wb Sprite
our stid is in the grid :D
my neighbour offered to do my shopping... she is so wonderful. I feel blessed.
what a lovely neighbour
she is. A no nonsense, down-to-earth walking heart.
well that wasn't fun
Sprite i am glad you have someone that is helping you
so am I :D
I just wormed the kitty and she bit my thumb top and bottom on the nail
argh lady, that is very unfunny
Yep it was my fault i got between the her mouth and the syringe
Sprite who are you my dear
Well Dern it!
Dart
who I am?
Dart's cahatting thats a bad sign.
hi to you too, woof :P
halfway - Stew walking time - BBL
Hiya Sprite! And everyone.
enjoy, lynxxx *hug* for both ofyou
Hi, moon!
Cya Lynxxy!
MOOON HI
Drat i had HOW are u and changed it to Who opps
Bye, lynxxx
Hu lynxxx pet the stew for me
hi mooon
It's okay herin, I understood =)
And I'm doing ok.
dart is finished already, waaaayy ahead of me
Trying to decide if I should start this one or not...
oh lol, of course lady. Should have realised. I am not doing great, but am coping. And thanks to my darling neighbour I will have a reasonably easy day today. So I am good. :)
it is fun, woof
I figured, Nana. He was typing something besides the grid =P
it's an ugly one moon....been here for over 2 hrs and just at 119 words
OH sweetie. Hugs. If you need to natter im at her_infernal_ladyship at yahoo found on msn/yahoo under same nick
just started and 78 words without even working hard... so far so good ;)
Banana i don't like this grid
thanks lady, you are a darling
Rut ro. One for and one against. harsh
ok, now 2 against. Hmm.
woof... maybe not today. Lots and lots of phantoms.
Things in my end of the world have been toilet worthy but last night changed that
what happened last night, lady?
lol woof... kick your msn awake, it says you are not here ;)
Thank you for the warning Sprite. I think I shall not yet, then. The one from a couple of days ago is still icking me =P
I have it on?
OK well a whole bunch of stuff. I was writing about my friend last Friday and his fav musical was on the telly with Bill Hunter then i was at the store and there was another tune from same musical and then last night BIll hunter was behind us at the pub
oh wow lady.
SO i am taking this as a message from said departed friend to move forward. That and my b.f has been a sweety. We went to the Zoo last night at dusk it was empty which is good for me as i hate crowds. It was fantastic. He bought me a Puma toy. I have been grinning all day. I feel like a princess
darn... old classic movie soi**** green is not valid :(
That's the clincher, then.
And that is why Sprite when things are crap take it easy. Even if you get up in the morning and have a shower and put your house clothes on thats a big deal. REmember you are an important person and that people care about you
I Cannot do a grid that cannot recognize The Green.
thanks lady. That is great advice. Seriously. *hug*
hi mooooonie
Thanks for the first one
nope... it lacks taste BIG time, this grid.
i'm stopping at 119....too tired to keep fighting this grid, goodnight ev1, good night dart
G'night, nana
night nana!
Hiya Dart =)
Sprite my doctor has this approach. If you walk to the shops instead of drive put $5 in a tin from petrol money saved. If you go out and have a picnic with goods from home put that lunch money aside. Reward yourself with small steps and things.
Niters Banana
Night Banna
bye nana
I like that, lady!
Yep. He does it himself. I have bought from not smoking for a month (yes i slipped again but im really trying) a book and my weight gloves
My pic is from the Zoo yesterday. Yes there was glass between us. It was amazing.
you are doing great, lady, you really do.
Sprite i look at small acheivements you really have to do it or youll go more nuts
brb dinner needs starting
brb need food
yup, I know, I do too
I totally agree with you, herin.
my achievements today so far: I got up and dressed, fed the kids, read with them and got them ready for school, I accepted my neighbour's offer to do my shopping for me and made a list that will last me for 2 days, and I am having breakfast now. Touchdown... score!
Woohoo, sprite! It's more than I get done most days.
:D
well done sprite poofs off to crumb hickenc

Me too... try it every time... just a tiny little bit of hope... ha ha
glad I am not the only one :)
Nano is only valid as a prefix. It doesnt mean anything by itself.
aha... like pre...
tsk. You start to sound like you are a sister of enable :P
Someone once said "Know thy enemy" =D
*very evil grin*

I forgot the magic word... anyone has a clue please??? It is all I need to finish and I don't seem to be able to find them.
Not ac lue

Good morning all. Sprite an8/45 plural an7/32

hi Frances, thanks. But I have all the As. Am only missing 2x N.
Hello, Frances and Herin!!
Just clued it
I am here
thanks for the clue, lady, working on it.
Sorry sprite - misread your post thought you were asking for an8 not an 8. LOL.
NI hockey stick letter plus ??ost 's and GHouls 2 vowels
obtuse antelope? I SOOO have the feeling this is a new word for me
try 3 letter nothing + **osts are phantoms + 2nd and 4th vowels.
that is not a word
Yes it is its an Antilope
thanks, all of you... totally weird!
3 letter nothing is also a low bid in Spades.
and LOLLL at the vid. Great find, mymuse!
must do breakfast bbs!! congrats sprite!!
the 8 ends in a german house.
enjoy, pink *hug*
Oh good. I got worried maybe college biology had Not been worth my money =P
hey all!
You got firewords sprite?
hi bfsog
Hi Bfogs
Hiya Bf! You have a Face! Congrats
I did, lady!
i have 2 faces!
Yay for sprite!!!
YAH SPrite
Hi, bfsog
I am yelling at the telly at the judge hes a totally morron
hi jellen
lady, honey... the TV has an off switch ;)
brb
Ok, well, yes, Technically it's 2, but I'm used to just seeing a Blank Head =)
But yelling is a bit more therapeutic
but since you got yourself a blue purse, bfsog, I take it only one face is yours!
blue purse? huh
between your name and your flag
woof, msn down again?
oh, yeah. it's still early here, im a bit slow hehe
ok, unless I can help with clues, I am gonna be off. Any calls?
can you give me a clue, im stuck on how youa re able to finish grids in 4 hours!
du ny
i am lost
lol bfsog. Well, I start typing in all the words I see until I see nothing anymore. Then I try and find endings, prefixes etc and play with those for a while. Then I try to finish as many tiles as I can. And when I am nearing the end, I check my wordlist for forgotten plurals, singulars, verb forms etc. I use the clues in the chat shamelessly. And I have been doing this for a couple of years now, so that has been practice. That about unstucks you?
Well, she can type like a demon, B, and she's been doing the grids for years now. I'll vote it's likely practice.
hi little mim, du ny to you too
*finds lady* Not anymore you aren't.
Many apologies all - fingers not working as they should - hi to you sprite and all!
woof, is msn dead or not?
Thanks Sprite. I went to the kitchen to try the nuggets. mmmm yummy
it's being a mite wiggy, I think, but seems up... checking
wish I could join you, lady. Ok, if there are no more calls, I am off for now. *hugs* to you all and have a great night and/ or day.
hugs sprite take care
Moon you know the range dressing as a powder?
you mean ranch dressing?
Yes sorry
I do know a couple of brands, I dont make them often however. Are you trying that with your nuggets?
Yep. You get a couple of chicken breasts halved and diced. flour in another Then you mix up 2 eggs and milk in one bowl, and a mix of Progresso Bread Crumbs and Ranch Powder.
I usually do my dressing for nuggets on the side. Personally, sometimes I like more dressing and sometimes less.
But it's a decent idea.
You just use the powder not as a dressing
im back!!
Hi Pink
Hi Herin!
I understood what you meant, I've just never had them that way.
That's why I said it was a decent idea.
Ok sorry im crap at explaining
Its really Yummy moon
Are they done, now? and turned out well?
Yep they turned out well. You just gotta much sure the cubes are smallish so the coating doesn't burn
I am watching so you think you can dance us and this girl is bril
bril?
Brillant
brilliant moon!
hating the grid, cant be arsed with it, see ya'll tomorrow!!
I used to be a gymnast and my gym teacher used to scream at us for landing like elephants (flat foot) after doing leg split jumps and this girl landed them with perfect elegance on her toes
Nice. Those moments in life are brilliant and beautiful.
I just wish more of the graceful ones were on My platter =)
I'm actually tired tonight. Sorry for the lack of company.
Moon i was doing push ups and hovers until the cat helped me out by sitting under my hover
NIght Pink
It's nice when the kitties help out =)
oh use specially when your about to squish them
Well, like you said, that can be a help in a away too =)

Well, I hope for your sake, Jellen, that it's a twiterpated excitement, and not a doubtful one =)
I think so.
Is twiterpated a word?
Good for you! I really hope it's fun.
It was in Bambi.
I'm also corresponding with a guy from Norway and one from Quebec
Ohh. That sounds like fun.
Oh, and exchanges messages and 'gifts' with a guy from NY.
Twiterpated was what Bambi called Thumper when he met the girl bunny =)

the phantoms are killing me
I thought Thumper was a decent guy, too =)

Hey Brookie how is bump? YAH pink
lynxxx, i come so tired from work. the last thing i need after a 10 hour shift, is to come home and try to work out a sensible diet for moi and MM.
i think the baby has "dropped", which for pregnancies beyond the first means "any day now"
thanks for asking, herin! how are you?
DON'T COUGH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!!
i'm trying to hold in the baby!
lol Rose
I am good. WOwo Brookie i thought you werent due soon?

wow
"duhs" isn't a word... very disappointing
ahhh, march. over here my favourite time of year....autumn, or fall as you have it over there.nononono. take it back, don't fall.
autumn is a wonderful season
love the crisp air
Brook best luck
thanks!
used to take my boys for an autumn drive. we would collect all the pretty leaves, bring them home. i would iron them in between 2 layers of waxed paper, and put them up on our windows. then all through winter we could look at the gorgeous colours, even on the greyest of days.
that's a wonderful thing to do! what a great mom!
WOw Rmc thats sounds great
is this your first, brookie?
2nd
between me and my fiance we will have 3
Are all the U words UN?
yes herin
drat thanks
yw, and there are six of them

Well give her our thoughts
So Brook Krista and Lynn best wishes
I will
what a wonderful year 2008 is turning out to be. can't wait for the news of when they all arrive.
At about 3 pounds isn't that like the size of a butter tub? Little mite must stay put for another month and not be so anxious to enter. Krista do you know what yours will be?
lalalala, i'm not listening!!!
Yes she is very tiny , but the Dr. CLAIMS she is healthy enough to be born now with no harm done !!!
well, someone has to be surprised, why not auntie Rose?
So how do they know the weight pre natal?
through a sonogram
it's an estimate , but usually close within ounces
oh DER im so dumb tonight
ooops, look at the time! 11 pm. i'm outta here. love and hugs to you all. see you at the flip.
My mother used to tell me that either full term or 32 weeks was good for delivery - but not 36 weeks. Probably old wives tale though
cya rmcc
bye Rose
They say 37 weeks is now full term
nite rrmc
ROse Wednesday 12 pm will do
didn't know that about 37 weeks, kris, how interesting!
so is 40 weeks late? :-)
nite * poof * ok herin, remember red t-shirt, white shorts LOL
they also saya baby can be born as early as 32 weeks and survive , 37-40 weeks is considered full term
WIll do
good to know
The longer the better as far as I'm concerned
agreed
well you have our thoughts
so that is so far 4 new soon to be bubs
you're so uplifting and positive lady !!
It's quite refreshing !!
ditto re: lady
I had a boot in the butt recently plus last night rocked
That boot tends to do it for everybody doesn't it ??
Yes. some very odd things have happened. Long story short. Friend died 3 years ago Friday his fav musical was on the telly then a song from same musical was on at the store then last night one of the actors from the same musical was behind me at the pub. It was a light bulb in my head that said to me don't give up. Last night was magic. I went to the Zoo after hours with the b.f to see a band and it was fantastic. He bought me a Puma toy. Been grinning all day at how much he loves me
You're friend gave you a very nice boot huh ?? Those are the best kind !!
And yes your b.f. sounds wonderful
I think so. Hes been gone for three years so i miss him lots. Oh the b.f is wonderful
Plus its nearly bed time here
What a positive note to retire on !
I hope for the best for you guys and these babies on the way. I have been grinning like a mental case all day
lol ty vm lady
hi, all. we got my new (to me) computer desk yesterday. I'm happy with it.
Hi Angel
hello babble friends!
MR PRESS> GRABS for a big hugs that is gentle
(((((hugs infern))))!!!!
I have to go to bed Mr Pres :(
the arm is getting so much better, I almost feel like the bionic woman
nite infern :)
Trying to get a few more. Hope i have net tomorrow. Its buggered here
Hi Babblers.....Mr P, are you all settled in and happy as a clam in your new home?
it is so late... everyone has gone away
hi chiley....!!! we are hermit crabs... move into someone eslses shell..... party ... then move onto the next house!! we have a beautiful home!
How divine. I know you were apprehensive about the whole process. I'm glad it worked out well for you.
our financial system is going to hell.... we are looking to buy investment properties.... sydney has been very bad though
so we will buy out of state
I'm sure it's a cycle. Be patient
I have the opportunity to make good money in the Cook Islands... am looking into that now
lovely to see you chiley :)
that sounds promising
...and you.....we've been on at opposing time lately I guess
help on the du 5,18?
I have chosen go be on late! gives me a break
du5/18...like the midday meal with a d
bfsog - du5/18 rhymes with Quasimodo (the hu***back of Notre Dame).
Hi, everyone.
hi jac!!!
ty- thats a new one for me
Glad to read you like your new home, MrP. Re properties - I've just been reading that Adelaide is up and coming, and property is cheap.
Hi guys.. Hi Jac.. back for a few more before bed..
a group of goats hangig ot in a tree?? ok, ready to see if that s true
hi jandy :)
Hi Mr P. Have you thought about investment in Canberra (home to me)
Hi, Jandy.
Rents are very good vs the property price and demand is out of control... informal auctions going on at the moment
It's kind of an interest of mine!
bfsog - du5/18 is a Geordie word meaning 'to jog or knock against'. It also means the same as 'brunch' (a meal).
jac, we are not in any position, we will be in six months.
dung
Oh No....
I knew I was going to do that.. first time....
Goats in a tree, MrP? Where'd that come from? *Scans log.* I've got photos of goats in trees from both Wales and Crete. LOL
Our rent in out ragious!
Shouldn't that have been, 'Oh sh*t!', Jandy.;)
Big grin! Indeed...
I am in such shock... I need to have my intestines removed from my body so that I cn recover
Oooh.... not sure that's usually the recommended treatment!
Intestines removed? Are you on the drugs again there, MrP? *Scratches head re tree goats and intestines.*
Note to Jac... at least it's not intestines in trees...
That would be nasty, Jandy.
This grid is murder, for some reason...
I'm enjoying this grid, so far. It's jam-packed with lots of Babble words I haven't seen in ages... and I'm finding them.:) (68 left to go.)
Good Morning Everyone
no intestines being removedllll but I wish they were... we need more funds for our hospital.... we will find a way
liking this grid so far, too, Jacula
99 and I have to leave for the airport in 6 and a half hours..
Hello, peri.

Good Monday, babblers!
Hi Aloy
hi Frances.. good grid to start the week..
Certainly got my cogs turning!
lol, mine too.. ever so slowly..
Good morning friends!
Hi Scrabs
hi Scrabbler
Morning Aloy, Scrabbler
hi Uni..
How is everyone doing to this start of a new week?
hello everyone!
howdy Annie..
Hi Annie. How is Bobby doing?
Hey Annie!
Happy Scrabs.......the sun is shining.
hi uni, scrabbler, aloy
Minimal sun here, as in it is not pitch black. Very dreary.
Bobby is a very happy camper today because his favorite team, the Giants, won the Super Bowl
But, I will have a mini-vacation and be off Thursday-Sunday so I have to get through just 3 days of work.
We watched the game and hooted and hollered
excellent game.. hard fought
Scrabbler, a well deserved vacation. How is Mary?
So many happy Giants' fans, so many sad Patriots' fans.
and so many ceiling fans
that too, BR...and hi
hello there, BR.. (-:
I visited Mary yesterday, and I did the baby's 4 mo well baby visit in her hospital room so that she could be included. I did the shots too.
Mary will fly to Duke Univ on Thurs to see the brain tumor specialist that has been directing her care. Then she will be home Friday night for the first time since Nov 23!!
Hi BR--always the punster!!
Scrabbler, so very sad..I pray forMary every night
That is a positive for Mary...being home
so good to hear that she will be able to go home.. 4 months is an adorable age - has to be a joy too to look into her infant's face
As far as the superbowl goes...only time of the year I watch football and I was so disappointed in the last quarter. There was much yelling in the Patriot fans apartment!
Mary was holding the baby and it is sad that neither knows the other much yet.
But, the baby is now at the stage where she will develop a memory for faces so it is perfect timing for Mary to go home.
Good morning all!
Hi Nonnie
hi nonnie!
mornin babblers!
Hi Eva
Hi EvaN!
Hiya, Annie, Scrabbs and Eva!
Good morning Nonnie I am glad to hear that some bonding time has been allowed, Scrabbler. it must be very difficult to not know your own child
hello to Nonnie and Eva..
And for Mary to know that other people have been raising her baby--both gratitude but sadness.
Scrabbs, I'm glad Mary is able to head home. How wonderful of you to do the well-baby checkup in her room. She is truly blessed to have a thoughtful and loving friend.
hiya uni and aloy :o)
It was one of the most touching experiences in my career/life--to do a baby's check-up in a mother's hospital room. It meant a lot to the husband too, to not have to do it alone at the office as we did for the 2 mo visit when Mary was nearly comatose from radiation treatments.
scrabbler, it is heartbreaking
The nurses were peeking in the room to see the baby too.
The husband broke down several times during the 2 mo visit at the office, because Mary's absence was so palpable. So this visit was wonderful with Mary present.
Oops, I put a word in the chat = sh4
and the baby is doing well?
My heart goes out to all of you. I can't even begin to imagine...
clue for the 9 plz
The baby is thriving and at the 90-95% for ht/wt/head size. She is adorable with blonde hair and blue eyes and so happy. But she needs to get to know her Mama.
Hopefully that will happen soon, scrabbs.
It is so hard, Nonnie, and at times surreal.
brb..
scrabbler, are the grandmothers involved in the baby's care when Mary is not at home?
Good morning, mm...I just arrived so I don't have the 9 yet.
Yes, both grandmas, an aunt, and a very mature 21 yr old girl that graduated from college in Dec. They take turns sleeping overnight and doing the nightime feeding so that dad can get sleep. Dad takes turns sleeping with the other 2 kids.
Good morning everyone! Just checking the grid size... failed my New Year resolution of not doing ones over 250 when I completed the 320 on Saturday. Have fun and be welll all, see you later on.
Hi & bye, weegee
hello weegee/goodbye weegee
I am sorry to make everyone sad with this story of Mary.
good morning all
No, don't be sorry, scrabbs. I need to share it.
Hi Flosey!
hello flosey!
TY to all for prayers for Mary!
oops, that was supposed to be "you" instead of "I".
scrabbler, It is good that the family has help in such a positive way..pray and pray
TY, Nonnie!!
Scrab, just reading back, not so much sad, but encouraging to see how everyone is coping, pitching in where needed, and that Mary is finally getting a chance to bond with her baby
and prayers for Mary
hi flosey, well said
Scrabbler, what is her prognosis? Is there any hope?
The team work is amazing--so many people love Mary and her family. There is a huge master schedule in their kitchen--assignments for driving kids to school/gymnastics, bringing meals, shopping, etc.
hi Annie, I think these people are so fortunate to have Scrabbler as their doctor
I agree with you, flosey!
flosey, I agress...Scrabbs is a wonderful person
... back, with a note that I am glad you have a friendly forum in which to share your sorrow, Scrabbs.. heaven knows, you can't keep everything pent up forever.. sending soothing vibes your way too..
Now I am crying....
scrabbler, you are making me tear up {{{{hugs}}}}}
group hug here..(((Scrabbler)))
We love you, {{{scrabbs}}}
that's ok too scrab. the tears release tension, pressure
I agree
[[[[[group hug}}}}}
indeed Annie
I believe we are put in each others life for a reason. I feel you and Mary needed each other at this time is both of your lives.
TY!! ((Babble buddies)) The prognosis is better than originally thought. Two tumors were removed surgically. Two disappeared with radiation. One remains and is shrinking. It needs to go away and then no new growth is the goal. She can be a survivor!
so true nonnie
That is good news, Mary!
And Mary is teaching us about faith, hope, perseverance...she is so inspiring.
is there any stronger pull than your own new baby to give you strength and courage to pull through
I agree, Flosey.
Oh, dear, look at the time. I have to get ready for my visit to the preschool for kids with developmental delays. I am the school doc. About half the kids have Down syndrome. I love going to the school--I get lots of hugs!!
bye, Scrabbler.. have a great day!
Scrabbler, you have a wonderful day.
have a great day Scrab
Bye, my friends. TY for listening and for the much needed support.
scrabbs, hug the kids for me too...have an easy day
Good morning Babble beauties! :-)
I'm heading out also. My father is in the hospital and I'm going to go spend the day with him. Poor thing, he'll be celebrating his 78th in the hospital :o(
:) :) :) :)
Hi and bye, Nonnie... happy birthday to your day!
{{scarlet}} what a game! Bobby is in 7th heaven!
enjoy your time with Dad Nonnie
morning all, tell your father happy birthday from all the babblers nonnie
Thank you scarlet and hi and bye to you :o)
Did you read my bio, Annie..? {{so happy, Annie}}
Marvy Monday to you, Scarlet..
Nonnie, Happy Birthday to your Dad! Sorry he is in the hospital
Aloy... marviness backatcha!! :-)
have a safe trip, Nonnie.. happy Bday to your Dad..
ty crpw, flosey, and Annie. {poof}
Scarlet, Kisses to you for that bio...going to print it and give it to Bobby...he will love it...what a game...we were hooting and hollering...the neighbors must have wondered
I was very impressed by the Giant's QB.. fire in his eyes!
{{{Annie & Bobby}}} I STILL have a brutal headache... LOL
Aloy, I know you are not a huge football fan, but this is one for the ages! :-)
scarlet, did you see Peyton watching the game...he never sat down...can you imagine Archer watching..
Scarlet, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the S. Bowl.. I do love football.. its just that my hopes are dashed year after year; being a Browns Fan is tuff.. (-:
I have to make some phone calls, be back soon
Yes, Annie, that last possession was the killer... sorry, Aloy, I mistook you for someone else who was rooting for the other Ohio team.. LOL... see you soon, AnnieBrooklyn!!
you mean the Bungles, Scarlet?
This was a heart-pounding, sweaty, excellent game, Aloy... LOL... I love the Ohio teams, and the Browns are on the verge of becoming good again!! Never heard the term Bungles... OOL
Naturally, the Browns fans have to diss the Cincy team, ergo, the Cincinatti Bungles.. (-:
I really enjoy cross-state rival games, Aloy... the bragging rights sort of contests that make you crazy...
yup... but the biggest rivalry of course is with the nasty Steelers
and of course with the Ravens... they stole our team
Steelers are not nasty, they are great :)
The Steelers STILL make my pulse pound, and it's real for them to fill up with tons of hatred before hitting the turf... the whole Baltimore thing still makes me furious...
don't think the Cleveland fans will EVER forgive Art Modell...
That's what I'm saying, pabtrek... LOL! Good day to you, pab!
hi Scarlet
great game last night
incredible game..
Modell is the dirtiest word in Cleveland... and it will continue to be for, oh... the next two millennia...
It had to be the best SB I have ever seen...\
at least the next two.. nasty steelers
When Eli slipped that "group hug" and managed to get that pass off, and that improbable reception, my headache was making me nauseous... LOL
Even my daughter, who was doing homework, screamed on that one...
Eli was so driven, he was wonderful, spurring his team on as he did
Hello All
When that happened, the whole living room KNEW that Archie's youngest boy was gonna do in front of God and mankind...
wb peri
I couldn't believe he got out of that and then that great pass
Good morning, {{{peri}}}
hi peri
((((Scarlet))))
just here for a short bit, need to get some errands done
the giants defense was excellent last night too, they really hounded Brady
Someone please tell me why tatto is not found in their dictionary...it is in webster as a noun and a verb....
needs another vowel Buttonman
tattoo
We are cold and rainy, peri...we are just rehasing the great game last night... I NEVER saw Brady so vulnerable before, pab... Maybe they can blame Arlen Specter... LOL
2 o's i think button
*rehashing*
Buttonman, you sound like you are actually working on the grid, lol.. brb
gray and rainy here, supposed to get to 50's and then in the 60's tomorrow
halfway done the grid and stuck
funny peri you are talking 50F - we had areas in the north at 43C yesterday
Since I have been maniacal for the last three days (in the kitchen) I am going to seriously goof off today... I wish it was a 500-word grid, peri!!
me too Scarlet
:-) How are you feeling, peri? How is that cranky shoulder?
thanks Ursh, look it up again and you are right...I guess it goes for being on Monday...
it is fine now, Scarlet, got an injection of pain meds and steroid
I wish it were! Bad usage... penalty box for bad writing...
what do the 8's and 9 start with please
an8, fa9,ni8 and is8
So glad you are better, peri... something like that can ruin most movements... :-)
thanks peri
Button... I don't have any of them yet! :(
it really wasn't that bad all the time but it was annoying me and affecting my ADL's (activities of daily living)
It didn't stop you from Babbling, and that's what counts, peri! :-)
of course, the important things in life :-)
We always have our priorities set straight!
Now I must feed beloved and make a nice, hot pot of coffee... I was so adrenalized by the game, I could not go to sleep until well after 4 a.m.
see you soon Scarlet
BBS!
I must be going too, errands to do before the weather gets worse. bbs
lets try this again -- mornin babblers!!
good morning Eva
just came back in
hi again, Evan
me too..back to finish (I hope)..
i popped in this morning, but was swept away by work before i even got to enter a single word!
hi Eva
here to Aloy, 27 to go
17 for me, flosey.. go, go, go..(-:
good for you aloy, good luck
same to you, flosey.. must say I am learning some newbies today..
yes, and to remember them is something else !
think I'll take some time to look them up; maybe that will help, but maybe not, lol
for sure, knowing the meaning helps a lot
ok, like ch4.8 .. the root of an East Indian herb.. now why didn't I know that? (-:
and ch5.18 is a cattie, and a cattie is an Asian unit of weight.. I'm sure I will remember that one!
or how could I have missed the saline lake and its plural, ch5.14?
I don't believe I'll remember any of those by description
I'll shut up now.. (-:
well, thats my point, flosey... use it or lose it.. i have learned a lot of babblets because of repetition, but just don't recall all the "weirdos".. makes this game interesting, though..
aloy, my icon is today's weirdest of the weird!
ty, une.. got it and its plural thanks to an earlier clue but didn't know what it was either.. actually a lovely animal for such an unlovely name!
so true!!
good job finding that icon!
just checked out your icon Une, hmmmm, the only ni I'm missing
for goodness sake, had the plural !!
prefix for nothing + consonant + german for house was the clue that gave it to me
:-D

hello pida
hi Karys
pida, I was just signing off when you came on....how is your daughter?
Much better, Annie...She has finished two rounds of Chemo, and had a lumpectomy two weeks ago, and believe it or not, she is back at work.
Still has radiation and more chemo to go, but looks really good for her.....
thnx for asking.
pida, I am so very happy to hear the wonderful news...she is still in my prayers every night. You have made my day with that wonderful report.
then take further hope from a friends 24 year old daughter also doing well pida, that's good news
great news pida, we've been through this - hubby had C second time so had radiation, etc. has been clear for almost 10 years now
karys and flosey....good news!
this good news deserves a coffee and even, maybe, a biscuit !!
Two biscuits!
On her last PET scan before surgery, they could find no active cancer cells, anywhere. Congrats to all survivors among us....
enjoy karys
thanks Annie
sure was a terrible scare when it hit the second time - we had just moved from Ontario to BC
With such good news, I can go on my way...bye dear babblers
TWO biscuits, I just couldn't Annie, I just couldn't..........
bye Annie, have a great day
Yes you could, Kary, if you had to. We are always scared about re-occurances.. But prayers are wonderful...they work!!!!!!

Morning all...
hi redturtle
congrats flosey
Hi, again, Babble Beauties! :-)
RED!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Red!
i figured u'd be out of commision today....
{{{Kattie sweetheart}}}
{{{deb, dear}}}
How is everyone??
hi turtle...
I'm a bit sleepy and will have to go to bed soon...
pretty good, had a fun weekend. made red velvet cake.
kattie, I AM out of commission...after the greatest SB I ever saw... exhausted... Could not sleep until after 4 a.ma.
hi all!
red!! {{Hugs}}} How are you feeling? Hi, Owl!
afternoon babblers!
Yeah Giants:)
good grief... I gave up a end of 3rd quarter..had a tub...went to bed read...heard the outcome....rolled over and went to bed...
Hi Eva
scarlet (super Red), I feel good now, I am finally better...
glad to hear u are better turtle......
LOL, red... glad you are making headway! kattie, if I had not seen that game, I would have retired from the human race...
i was so ticked off at new england's offensive line...
Scarlet! I had no idea you were such a football fan!
disgusted rather... so..gave up...
yeah, they couldn't protect Tom Brady for anything
I am a football FREAK, red... live, eat and breathe it...
anybody here from Tangleword 5s?
kat, it was one of those games in which nothing, but nothing was predictable!
linch
I heard it was good....but I am not a fan...and of course, no television...
this is true... but... the NE OL-men ...might as well have stayed back in boston... that was NOT a team effort...
AnnieBrooklyn's son, Bobby is the greatest Giants fan in the world, so I dedicated my icon/bio to him... red, it was the best one I've seen in 42 years!
They dissolved, and some quirky pundit will blame it on Arlen Specter... not a good effort at all, and Brady's eyes were dull... I speculated that he may have been on pain meds for his ankle injury.
i hope they are getting a royal chew out. and they all get traded for next season
Off topic, but how are you finding the grid? I think its slow going, but...
the grid sucks...
yeah very slow
i thoguht he looked tired too...
They are too good, kat... they simply had the mother of all meltdowns under the pressure cooker of perfecton...
Ok, so I agree the grid really does suck...
hi happy giants fans! : )
**giggling like a maniac, Owl**
i am loving this. so many interviews here were of disgruntled eagles fans who wanted "anyone but the giants" to win! X D
Hi TO
deb, do you use three or four bottles of red food coloring in your Velvet cake?\
and then there's my boss the red sox/pats fan....
This only called for two bottles.
you are kidding TWO BOTTLES??!!!
I was very conflicted, Owl... so da**** sick and tired of hearing about the 1972 Dolphins... I wanted them pushed off the front page of football history... alas!
Most of the recipes I have read, call for three or four...
I've never made it before, got recipe off the internet. Everyone liked it. and it was red:)
LOL, deb... glad it was a winner! :-)
where are you , deb? it was my bsday and i didn't get a cake!!!!
I have 96 left and am at an impasse... think I'll go lie down and watch ESPN... Owl... when was your birthday?
I'm in Illinois, there's one piece left. Happy Birthday TO!!
yesterday...S'ok, my dad's was the day before, mmine tends to get lost s ince his was the 85th!
Happy Belated Birthday and many, many more wonderful ones ahead of you! @@@<---- roses, champers and truffles!!
*looks hopefully at deb*
ONE PIECE?
happy borthday to!!!!!!!!!
birthday...
Owl can celebrate a borthday, too, red!
I'll run right over to PA, be there soon:)
Can you make a right-hand turn and hit Asheville on your way, deb?

LOL ty deb!
{{Hug}} Off to the softness of my binkies and pillows... see y'all soon!

al 6/18 clue please

ni8, an8
an 8 plural of very old
ty peri : )
yw
going to read for a while, have lunch bbs
bye peri
hints for the 9?
does anyone have the al 6/18?
the fa 9 is a bird + a number
do not have the al 6 ty for the nine. anyone have the ni8?
only have that werid ni 7
a plus the Russian Red Sqare dead dictator, one vowel changed
the 8 is the plural
The al 7 adds a vowel, now ends in a number
thanks ru!
ty haz
You're welcome.
thanks haz.. couldn't find it
I have it now
That's good.
Afternoon all..........
Hello caitlyn.
Just heading kitchenward!
back later, hopefully.
ni7 & plural 8 aren't that weird. ni7 is one of various spellings for an Indian antelope, also known as a 'blue bull'. The Hindi (from the Sanskrit) translates as 'dark blue bull'. So, not really a strange word.
Bye then Haz
later, haz. jacs, ty i will try google.
'Bye, Haz! I'm just having a cuppa after doing the vacuuming. After that, I'm heading kitchenwards too.
how often do you see blue bulls jac?
TO - Google it with a 'y' as 2nd letter as that's the more usual spelling.
ruru - often, in India.
do you see pink elephants, too? : /
There are not many blue bulls in the Rhondda (a few cows though)
'Blue' when applied to animal fur/hair means 'slatey grey'.
LOL, TO!
an 5/.12 clue please
well i googled it but still cannot find it in the grid
Start with the 'n'1st from bottom on far left, TO.
an5/12 = an + to trick out of money.
what i found was a six letter word
TO - you need to put an 'h' in the middle of that word. There are many variations, you see.
ty jacs
58 left and lunch is nearly done.
y/w, TO.
Just found a naked person at nu6. It's a bit cold for that!
it took me ages that one I am surprised I didnt find it earlier!!
it's a balmy 45 here!
LOL Jac!!
Fireworks for me. I am off to think about dinner unless anyone wants a clue???
Congrats Deeha!!
Well done, Deeha. I must try that - 'thinking' about dinner. Does that get it cooked?
hello to all
Hello sadie.
yay deeha! hi sadie
hiya Jacula
hiya Temple Owl
Hi sadie
hiya caitlyn
erf! just noticed the "u"
Bob's your un****!, TO.;-)
LOL jacs!
Let's hope the 'u' isn't too un****erative for you.
What's the best way to make pants last?
don't use them?
Make the jacket first.
wear a skirt?
Bo on bab rab tell us!!
make skirts first
Groan!
ah, all i can think of is "coop"erative
Groaning with Jac!!
That's right, TO.
Jac that recipe of yours looks really good, I will try it soon.......
un4 (1st) = un + Spanish affirmative. Un7 expands on that (ends like a mens' public loo).
Cait - Haz made it a couple of years ago and liked it. Hope you do, too.
Shrove Tuesday tomorow so lots of yummy pancakes
un4 (2nd) = in + the first part of the word TO just worked out from my clue. Un6 is what a snake or a rope does when it straightens out. un5 = the plural of the 2nd un4.
cait - We had our pancakes on Saturday when our girls were both home.
ty jacs.
not getting the un7, Jac. any more clues?
43 to go but I must away to make dinner. I tried 'thinking' about it like Deeha did but it didn't work. Guess I'm just going to have to go into the kitchen and get on with it.:)
if you can "un" the rope, why can't you "en" it?
Enjoy your meal jac see you soon
deb - Try this: un7 = un4/6 + consonant + Mr. Gore.
TTFN. Happy Babbling.
thank you:) bye Jacula
later, jacs. I too must go. bbl!
Bye TO
bye TO

Hi all
ty again
amy cooks here? HOw do I make carmelized onions?
hi peri - am here for a short time only...
easy, peri...
*any*
add onions and fat to a pan, high heat to soften...
does it matter if it is olive oil or butter?
then lower heat to med to med-low, and walk away
i prefer oil, but butter will work.
stir periodically, allowing to brown
I want to put it on home made pizza along with the cheese
use oil then, it will taste better
got it, thanks dc
Hi, everyone!
will let you know how it turns out, have never made it before
oil should be just enough to keep the onions from sticking
i like to add som salt at the start,too.
off to make my pizza
BBL - happy babbling all
ok thanks dc
njoy, peri
bye
hasta, montreal
Afternoon, peoples. Gee, I had a choice between Babble or ripping up carpeting. Guess which one I picked?!
Hi, Judi, um... the carpet?
hiya Judi, good choice :)
I shall attack the carpet later (much). We'll be getting new carpeting installed in the near future. Saving a few bucks by DIYing the removal of the old. I'm sure my back will be cursing my efforts later.
finally got all those right A's inbetween filling prescriptions:) thank you all.
good call on DIY removal, judi
I love ripping up old carpet. It's oddly satifying.
I figure it's one of the easier DIY's I'll ever do.
Hate staple and tack strip removal, though.
Destruction can be fun!
thanks for all the clues, BR....BBL
often the staple/tack strips are reusable if left in place
i think if you tear up the carpet someone else should do the staple removal part
I have found a flame thrower is excellent for carpet removal
I was told by the carpet co. not to remove the old tack strip. They will remove/replace it as needed - no extra charge. Sold!
Oh yeah. We always went to hardwood or tile when ripping out carpet.
yes, good for paint removal too, babrab
that works
friends are installing a bamboo floor to replace their carpeting.
Good deal, Judi
cool, judi
Well, we're doing some carpet, bamboo hardwood and tile. Triple the fun!
sounds lovely, judi
bamboo for the koala room
pandas eat bamboo, koalas eat...tree leaves, forgetting the variety.
I'm very excited. Not about spending the money, but the newness of it all. We're badly in need of updating.
Eucalyptus, isn't it?
yes, jellen, ty!
what does the 9 start with?
it'll feel like a new home, judi :) so glad yall can do it
fa ---
phantom falange, which in the real world is a good thing.
fa --- hunting bird and not yours but m***
ty, babbleRabble
thank you so much:)
good clue !!! BR
Hi, pida
Hi, again, Jellen, et al
hi, pida, wb
hi babblers!
howdy, shdy
thnx, any clue for the en 6...either one ?
Hi, shdy!
hi shdy
Hey jellen!
how's the new schedule treating you, dc?
hi deb
en +to4 - to work hard
os6 clue?
well, shdy, days is a better thing for me i have learned.
good, glad to hear it's working!
thnx, dc....how about the 1st one, also
en + That's fa****ting (intriguing)
OR fa + I see movies at the ***eplex + first vowel
ty
it seems one gets better at this with daily use, i.e. cant find a thing!!! lol
I'm have trouble even finding my fours, shdy.
jellen, i cannot parse either of those clues, the letters aren't in the right places.
i feel better then, jellen, tx!
don't have the other yet, pida
i have 61 words after maybe 15 mins. ....used to finish before showering for work!
Down to 99. Okay - time to go rip up that carpet now. Grrrrrr!
go judi!!!
en + sounds like transgression + first vowel
Sorry for the bad fa clue earlier. Mind's not focusing today.
oh, 2nd clue should have read EN not FA :) ty, jellen
then add a consonant to the first one for the 7
oddly, it's a holiday here (mardi gras) so working from home today and no classes :)
i've had many a day like that, jellen, hope ur day looks up :)
ur in looziana, ain't ya, shdy
My problem's lack of sleep, or becoming accustomed to too much of it, then switching to short hours.
yep, still can't get used to it!
dc my onions turned out more like fried onions than carmelized. I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil, probably should have used a different oil. Heat was not too high
didn't lower the heat enogh, you want them to cook through, browning, with yout frying, more of a sweat to the finish
no oil for caramelized, peri, just sugar and an appropriate vinegar, + low heat
without frying, rather
should be about 20 min total cooking time, 30 at outside
oh well, next time, I was too impatient, since I am hungry
i understand entirely, peri :)
i just cooked my some rice and Quorn-brand fake chicken nuggets
anyone have os6?
ok shady will try that too, next time
red onions with white sugar and red wine vinegar makes a lovely purple, very flavorful
true dat, shdy
that sounds really, really good shdy
hi everyone, help pls on en 7
how much sugar?
os + beginning of a movie multiplex
goes well with salty things and dark green veggies
how much onion? :)
thanks dc
what about on top or pizza
ok now I want pizza with onions on it tht sounds sooooo good
hello all - back for 38 - tough grid this one
onions on pizza is a Good Thing
need to check on pizza, bbs
oh yea it is
I love onions
you want the onions to cover the bottom of the pan solidly
Thanks, dc, I needed that.
i used to make a pizza at a restaurant with caramelized onions, swiss chard, and pancetta.......yummy
so size pan to amt of onion you want.
the less dense the onions in the pot/pan, the more sitirring is required to prevent frying.
that was for the how much sugar question, dc!!
wow, I tuned it at just the right time - those pizzas sound wonderful
my bad :)
*tuned in, that is
s'ok guess she missed the question anyway!
Peri - This site should help you get your onions right next time: http://tinyurl.com/392rjo
didn't use enough onions :(
hi JBV
thanks Jac, will check it out
y/w, peri.
Hi, JBV and Jac
beautiful icon JBV!
Hi Jellen. I'm not really here. LOL
in our family we have a special dish we make with onions, like a pizza sandwich - we call it calzone - dreaming of that right now
I don't have the en7. Anyone else?
peri, i don't measure much, but for one regular sized red onion would use maybe half a cup or a little less of vinegar, a little less than that of sugar
I'm not either, Jac. I'm getting ready for a doctor's appointment.
i'm looking for it, jellen
for two onions, wouldn't quite double it.....and so on
I'm waiting for my Golden Potato Pie to cook (recipe's in my thread on BabAnon). Potato, onion, Cheddar cheese, butter, white pepper and salt mix. Lovely with bacon chops.
en7 - turn the en6 into adj with addition of consonant
yum, jacula, that sounds delish
Thanks Vicuna!
oops, lunch time is over....back to work, good to see everyone!
that Potato Pies sounds delish, Jac
Thanks, Vicuna
thanks, deb - yours is beautiful too, in a keep-your-distance kind of way
off to eat my pizza
ty, vicina, i was looking the wrong way
Enjoy, peri
njoy, peri!
I find that words are easier to locate when facing the monitor
Lol, BR!
Gee, is that what I've been doing wrong all this time?
clue for al 4/7??
al + **mily (your kinfolk)
abbr for a grass
al** beta
at 6/21?
at 6 -- a + soda out east
i'm sure I tried tried! thanks, jellen and dc
that's only in New England, babrab, the rest of us say Pop, Soda, or Coke, from N to S.
or Sody-pop, which is what i grew up with.
can't type today - that was tried - with unintended emphasis!
in addition to looking at the monitor, it helps to have control over your fingers
ty, babrab, for the clue, btw :)
also sometimes say that for soda in parts of Europe
i got my ruff up over being compared to a yankee.
oh, which areas, nDanLia, that u know of?
ooh, a greek philosophical school is in the grid :)
scot, eire, also heard in belg, but could have been expats of other places
but that would explain new eng.
exchange rate(s) too
pizza turned out well despite the fact that the onions were fried and not carmelized. Would have liked a crisper crust but did not want it to burn
I get those frozen pizzas with the cardboard crust in the event I need to oddjob an intruder
never hurts to be prepared BR
indeed, being prepared is good
afternoon all!
hi, evaN :)
how goes it?
well, days off are nice. you, EvaN?
i'm frustrated with this grid today.
days off?? ive HEARD of those...
hi and bye Eva, bbs to finish

hasta, peri
oh good its not just me
This grid seems to have an unusual number of weird words. Off to A2Z...
"Have tea, will babble" - back with 23 left...
my premise is that words are not weird; our perception of them is based on stereotypes
hi all !!
i concur, babrab
and it's amazing how tea makes things better, isn't it, montreal. wb
Hello, Lucien
yes dc, with tea, those words don't appear as bad...
Hi Mont, DC, Babrab, Jan, Sadie & evryone not on screen

hello there beth !
Hi Bethn
Finally fireworks...and, now exposing my inadequate vocabulary, there were 70 words in today's 205 that I would be unable to give definitions to. (Allowing for plurals and adjecitval forms, probably 50 or so.) Usually I find that my "don't know what that one means" ratio is closer to 10 percent.
congrats, jan!
Congrats Jan !
congrats, jan!!
wtg jan - 10 % is better than me...
congrats, jan
congratulations, jan:) don't think i'll finish today
and some grids are like that, word-wise. this came is great for vocabulary-building
Well, I do try to look a few ones up every grid, but if I did that with this grid, I'd be here all day...
woo hoo jan! i learn new sords every day, and i always thought i had a n excellent vocab. (oh how the mighty have fallen)
*words
The thing is, English has an unbelievably capacious vocabulary. For example, the second ya/4/8 means "an old worn out mare." Not the kind of thing to drop into conversation very often.
I expect if I am able to define 25% of the words, I am doing well
jan, see the quote in the bottom my profile
I see letter groups as opposed to words
Very amusing, dcseain, and too true!
yes, that is how we read, babrab
Some years ago, there was an article about a good of Thais who were Scrabble champions but completely unable to speak any English. They's memorized the Scrabble dictionary just as a set of meaningless patterns.
BBL - Stew is adament it is walk time - loudly
it's also the basis for creating words in Hangul, the Korean alphabet.
later lyn....
how fascinating, jan
have fun, lyn
evening everyone, crabby katie here :-)
must go to the dentist, yuck!
hi, katie! :)
Oh good luck deb
hope it goes well, de
you have to go to the dentist too, katieW?:)
Good luck at the dentist, debjed--hope they find nothing unexpected.
deb
hi katie... what are u crabby about ?
i'm crabby when i have to go to dentist
Well, must finally head off to work. I have the luxury of going in late because I have to work late tonight.
bonne chance at the dentist deb :-)
No I stayed up till half time in the superbowl last night, I'm not good on less than 5 hours sleep. As I signed off I said I would probably be grabby and sure enough I am :-)
bye jan
c u later jan
*crabby
see you all tomorrow:)
have a great day, jan
Bye Jan
i can realat, katie, when World Cup was in Japan/Korea, hundreds of us were in bars watching the games in the middle of the night.
ciao, deb
yes lack of sleep can do that - hope you feel better with babble...
it was first thing in the morning over here. There was something very odd about being in the pub at 7 am and then going on to work :-)
hello, back to find more words
wb peri
i only saw the half-time show and the last 5 minutes of play on the big game yesterday... and it was all worth it !!
to make matters worse we have a staff conference tomorrow so I have to drive 75 miles there and 75 miles back :-(
that's a long ride for a conference katie, why don't they do a conference call
well katie, that allows you to be twice as crabby...lol
ni 7/8 any help pls
ni8 = no score in soccer + cons. + german word for house
Thank you montreal :-), Peri there are 400 of us going!!
wow, big conference katie
I agree with montreal, katie, you can be twice as crabby if you want to be
ty montreal
It will probably be OK when we get there but it is a lot of effort for a small effort
yw Dan
Hi all, just popping in. Could I have another hint for the ni8?
*reward
Mich it's below
just clued it at 2:01...
that does it; mich - end with 3-letter abbrev for land down under
I know but I didn't get it. Can't figure it out.
Igot the end, not the middle (the soccor score?)
english for zilch
n** means zero mich
when one side doesn't score its know as one - n**
Ni8 = Ni + consonant + german house remove the last letter for Ni7
Oh, got it, I was trying to get a naught. I had a long day at work (it's night time here)
42 left bbs to finish
later peri :-)
Well that certainly isn't a word that crops up much in my conversation!
bye for now peri
i'll say mich !
205 and fireworks
congrats, montreal!!!
Congrats Montreal :-)
ty dc and katie
well, should attend to some domestic tasks... later, will tackle sudoku - i've neglected that game due to lack of time - happy babbling all - "POOF"

Hi eva

How do I add my flag?
Is there just one en 7?
an7 = very very old
likewise, EvaN! *passes plate over*
even older than me ; )
Go to My Account and tinker about from there
you go in the the "my account" michnick (top right of this page) and select your country from the list on that page
mich, click on "My Account" and put in your Country
Drool, your ic** looks divine EvaN Hello Gwen
hey gwen! how's you?
HI Gwen
does the second AN 7 build off the an 6 that precedes?
yes stid
Looking now stid
sorry stid wrong word disregard
thanks TO... *thinking*
got it! :-D *proud look*
Hmm, funny, I filled in my country but no flag. Maybe there is no Israeli flag?
i only have the old an7
almost done with A words... *slog, trudge, flail*
and plural the old one TO
Huh?
yes, i have all the 8 & 9's
Hi from one Mitch to another. Israeli flag is there as there are a number of pro players from Israel flying the flag already.
oh! when you are done, mich, you need to click the "save changes" button on that page
sometimes I forget that step and then I have to reenter stuff. Most annoying.
I'll have to try again, maybe it takes a while.
that's it -- all this flag talk is making me wanna change my flag . . .
Clue for an6/18, anyone?
mich did you refresh?
Have you ticked the "Show Bio" box?
Um stid do you have the heart an?
testing
woo hoo
yes, I do have the heart AN
working on an AG at the moment...
bore da Gwen! (that the only welsh I remember... means good day)
Testing...
Well when your done with the AG ill make you a Churchill Martini (clue)
bore da stid!! (i know less welsh that you: one word!)
it's there now, mich

Yay, thanks all, See my flag? Now if I can only get to fireworks. I have a long way to go and it's midnight!

No stid, until I get to sleep & wake up & get to the computer it will be a new grid.
Gwen dear, that looks suspiciously like "underwear" to me.... please enlighten?
oh gee, late night, huh? well, I am down to 63, will help as able.
I went to Temple for a couple of yrs. '79-'80
Undodwr, means Unitarian LOL
Me too, lady
oh! *grin* but of course! rofl
Thats ok
a fellow owl! i was a bit before you
i have a Welsh-English, English-Welsh dictionary edited by either an idiot or someone who dislikes Undodwrs . . .
back shortly I have to bleach the bath tub and vacuum then shower as the land lard is visitng
later lady
shouldn't be too long
(not sure that plural is right)
I cannot remember how to plural welsh words at the moment. Haven't actually tried to study for about a year now.
Hard to learn a language on one's own...
Temple, my mom did her masters', finished in '72!
now that Doctor Who is gone Welsh, I should learn a bit more about it
stid, do you know any nice welsh curse words?
what is her masters in? did she board or commute?
sorry gwen, those are not generally included in the beginning learner's stuff. LOL
need the CO 5/16 that comes after the outerwear for cool weather
oh darn
alt spelling of co4/5 below
She did a masters in Ed. Media, quite a trailblazer in those days. She commuted, she was a mom w/4 kiddies!
I can't believe I monkeyed the du 5/18...
thanks TO!
wow quite an accomplishment, mich! i certainly remmeber ed media being new then
hm. not getting it... brb
It was great fun, my sister & I were models in all her pictures & videos
stid can you clue that please?
can someone clue the al 6 instead please?
al 6 / 18 - remove the final vowel of the 7/28
okay, back again. Dog was DESPERATE!
grace dont have the al 7 either
sounds like a chemical, last syllable is a number
grace, ty!
one vote to make tattoic a word LOL
i was hopibg to find something there too gwen lol
still not getting it grace
well you must first define it!
-
hoping oops
al + vowel + a single-digit number
tattoic, adjective of course, for a tattoo parlor or whatever
its not working
hmm
and glinch. that should be a word too
mlfan, what's not working? my excellent clue?
at 32 and at head banging stage
exactly gwen lol
I still don't see the CO 5/16... *sigh* more help pleasE?
owl is that how many words you have now?
well, hello everyone, I did finish, eventually !!!
okay, al + another vowel you already have + the square of threeeeee
stid, add a consonant to the metal money word. hi, karys!
ml that is how many i have to find
co5/16....co + when you add your name to a cheque for instance, minus the first letter
thanks TO
oh! how peculiar! thanks!
and Karys!
and YAY Karys!
I am drawing a blank on the al6
al + number before 10 minus last letter
ty karys, another silly word for my collection LOL
co5/16: 1. an external solid angle of a wall or the like. 2. one of the stones forming it; cornerstone. 3. any of various bricks of standard shape for forming corners of brick walls or the like. 4. a wedge-shaped piece of wood, stone, or other material, used for any of various purposes. 5. Printing. a wedge of wood or metal for securing type in a chase
i mich i am too but i got the last part of it not the first
al6 is the al7 minus the final letter
hello all...hey stid, you're in the grid.
TY!! Git it
hello nonnie
hi karys!
hello nonnie!
hiya stid!
i vote for stid to be a legal word. waaaa need more points!

stid, a city in calif change the ending vowel
golly. I miss that one every time!
en + the ci word for film change last vowel
later gwen!
owl was that the 6?
that is the first en 6
TY Temple, but the co5/16 is still elluding me.
ty stid got it
Now I am working on the en 7, and thinking it does not build off that first 6?
mich, when someone gives you a definition, google it.
it's plural
mich: co + Inspector General (abbreviation) + first letter in opposite of yes
Thank you, stid...I appreciate your words.
bye everyone! bbl to finish
later TO!
bye TO !
Thanks
*tosses extra confetti and party favors in TO's wake*
I cannot believe I just "saw" the 9... *faints*
well done there stid !!!
but that EN 7 continues to confuse and obfuscate. *grumpy face*
adjectival form
just put a stick on the end of the en6
do you have en 6/21? add a stick letter to the end.
oh. *weird look* thanks TO and Karys!
stid?
and the en6/18 stid ?
I need help on the last EN also... *sigh* so much for my ego!
yes MLF?
en + 'work'
stid the co inspector general word isnt working for me and i know the last part of it as well but it doesnt come out right
thanks AGAIN!!!! :-) dumb E tiles are ALL grey!
en sound like town in CA, change last vowel
ty karys
then google the definition "an external solid angle of a wall", I don't know a better way to clue that co 5/16

i go the 5/14 ag woohoo ty karys
Everyone in the States, please VOTE!
WE don't participate, hursh, until May 9... spoil sports of North Carolina... feh! bah!
Voter early, vote often!! LOL
lol
thats my motto, scarlet
actually i could vote tomorrow
scar participate in what?
i don't know about EVERYONE annie, i can think of a few i'd rather not see voting
li5/14 please?
but i would have to drive a long way and miss work
LOL... MLF... the Primaries to winnow down the field of candidates for the presidency.
hurshy, are you still registered in CT?
ohh THAT scarlet lol.. i dont even have my ID done yet which is a nom drivers license lol
apparently, because i got summoned for jury duty. they let me off bc i moved, but they said i should call the registrar of voters to avoid this happening again...
i don't have it flask sorry
It is very, very exciting this year, MLF... historical, in fact, for our nation this time around...
Ok Joanne...and thanks!
yvw
do u have other 3 flask??
;-)
Scar do you think we coudl end up with a female president?
i have 2 plurals and the bed sheets
yeah, but i think it's historical because the media decided it should be, they decided long ago that it was obama and clinton and screwed everyone else out
Either female or African American...
the other 3 li's??
and mlf, i sure hope not, at least not this female
joanne which one is the bed sheets. ie first two letters and how many letters total please?
yes li5's
Either way, they would be foolish not to combine their tickets.... which I think will happen.
li5
scar i am thinking african american or former governor
yeah scar, they've already hinted at it
ohh ty joanne too bad i already have it lol
The former gov. shot himself in the foot with some unwise bleating... he's out... LOL, nuttie... it will happen.
lol
Bedding....floor covering....and a type of medical wrap!
who you refering to scar?
scar but he has done better the she has for the state of ny
How about a monster hug, Ms. Flask?? {{{{{{{HUG}}}}
A clue for li5/14 please??
is that the dryer stuff li4 and plural??
Mitt-ster
[[[[[[[[[hugz]]]]]]]]]]]]] for scarlet....
:-)
oh, i don't follow the republicans, i think they're all horrible, paul was ok, and huckabee has one good idea
but i could never vote pro war, i don't have it in me
Huckabee is actually a very decent fellow... but it is all about the Dems this year, nut... the most intriguing race in many a moon...
flask i need it too
Scarlet do you have li5/14 please?
true scarlet, but it still left out gravel, the best most progressive candidate, and i think that's sad
Likewise... I am pacificist, was one in the 1960s and would have become a Canadian citizen if I were to have been drafted as a young male...
scar is NC more rep thehn dem?
got it
top left corner
don't get me wrong scarlet, i wanted to be a marine growing up
I am not familiar with Gravel, nut... who is that? I personally loved Dennis Kucinich... but, he's out now too.
flask are we ever going to get the clue?lol
backwards for someone that harps over and over
gravel is still running, go to gravel2008.us
an7,32 please
af...istan
Obama is hands down the best candidate, better for women than Hillary
li af...istan
an 7.32...old, very old
flask u get it??
i agree egb and not just for his own race either
MLF... yes, NC is definitely more Elephant than donkey, but here in Asheville, it is considered the liberal center of the south... mostly Dems...
Thanks
i still think that those who like obama and read about gravel would change loyalties
No Joanne....
flask me either
for his wisdom and character
li and the country af...istan
for his position on the issues and track record
okay...have it now, thanks joanne!!
yvw
and willingness to say what needs to be said even if its not popular
I liked gravel too but he'd never win
woohoo got the an 7
now hillary fans would not like gravel i'm thinking
sharing is good mlfan hehe
joannei isnt it though lol
joannei the li word i can fill in the blanks but i cant monkey it
Well, then, when I check it out, nutt, I'm betting that he is much the same as Kucinich... libertarian leanings, very progressive social ideas and flat-out against our involvement overseas...
check 5 24 clue
joanne i saw it but its not working
joanne i saw it but its not working
pretty mcmuch scarlet, come to think of it, those two would make one awesome ticket
humm weird
is that a 5/14?
but who would beat the republicans?
We can dream, nut...
li and spelled backwards for someone that bugs you endlessly
i was thinking about that egbo, and i think obama is the best chance, because he is a better speaker and better looking, that's an honest opinion
Clue for ag 5/14, please?
Either one
Hi, all!
kucinich always amuses me
ag4 vowel one plural
he's so cutely naive and earnest
hi jellen
face it, we're suckers for youth and looks, and a good speaker gets us everytime, always makes me wonder how bush got in though....strange
and his wife is brilliant, too
his opponents were not better looking, nut
ok, good point hursh
evan what was the one who dropped out recently?
He has... errr... charisma, articulation, power, intelligence, vision and several other unelectable attributes which put him down early, hursh...
obama, i think, would win for sure if nominated. clinton v. mccain - tougher call
now the obama family, they are a FINE looking family, and they both are excellent speakers
Nut, can you say "purchasing power" of the old Rep machind?
and fr.... something that breaks easy
i agree evan
too many people hate the clintons i think, but then the republicans are sure to start a muslim whisper campaign against obama
Thanks, jo, got the second.
i don't know if charisma and power are qualities i think of when i think of kucinich
good
evan i wouldnt but sorry to say i do hate the clintons
yvw
Another clue for ag 5/14, the first?
i think of ears when i think of kucinich, and ufos
dude, i wish he WERE a muslim - that would be REALLY helpful for our foreign relations.
do u have the 4's??
i'd be sorry to say it mlf, i've heard 'things' happen to those that get in the clintons way
Yes, jo.
how did he get a hot wife?
and the plural 5
well hursh, he has muslim background, his first years of school were muslim
i have two 5/14 ag words is that right since i am too lazy to look at list or i know if i did i would get confused lol
frag... some delicate
in indonesia?
9 left... so slow going...
Got that one.
You'd have to see him, hear him, touch his hand and see that amazing mind at work, in person, hursh... he will not be in any position to hurt anyone. Yes, egbo... she is nearly 6 inches taller than he, with long, red hair, and brilliant!
only 2 5's
2 ag5's, mlfan
wait, who's wife are we talking about?
ag zig zag down and plural
evan she has no real power and after how she reacted during the 9/11 why woudl anybody want her to be president?
yp you have way more then i do lol
Dennis Kucinich's wife, nut.
scar is on the kuciniches
joanne for which one?
at least we've managed to shake giuliani
i've never seen her, but i wish he was from my state
u have them mlfan 2 ag 5's
thank you jellen was thinking i was missing something
we need someone with real understanding of the moslem religion.
She's a Brit, nuttie
thanks to you i do joanne!
who could be lovier than the mart?
yvw
Sorry to be so dense, but I'm not getting the first ag5. Help?
one thing is for sure, we can't open communications with a muslim nation with a female president, they won't respect her
Hursh, I thought it was interesting that Gov. Ahnaaallld endorsed McCain, and Maria came out for Mr. Obama with Oprah and Caroline...
nobody, that's who
ok mlfan so how bout that an7??
ag third and fourth vowels and plural
well, it's long been known that she's a dem and he's not
me husband was going to vote for Edwards first, but, alas...
got that i awhle ago joanne
AND, she has guts!
do you need a clue for it?
it's for jellen
yes mlfan
you'd have to, to marry him
That's the second one, jo.
I still have 80 words to hunt... into the grid!
egbo, i always thought edwards was our best chance of stealing gop votes
egb i hated edwards like a barbie dolll
america lost the election when chris dodd and dennis kucinich were ignored. nutty bhutto was the leader of a muslim country. you'll never have a woman leading a fundamentalist muslim state but you could easily say the same thing for a fundamentalist christian staae.
frag... something that is delicate ..u put it on a box of breakables
joanne it means very old as in a long time ago old
i'm not that old tho mlfan hehe
he felt Edwards had the goods on all things financial
true bonk, but we're not supposed to be a fundamentalist christian state, i'm just saying now is not the time for a woman...we need to open talks with muslim nations
Thanks for trying jo.
egbo, not totally, his healthcare plan is similar to hillarys
sorry jellen
me either joanne glad you got it i never even noticed it but got ti from the same type of clue from someone else
mlfan can u clue jellen ag 5 not the plural ,,i suck at cluing ..please
joanne the first one?
oh
you can bet your bottom dollar that obama will bring smart people on board in his administration, people who are not just out to improve their own interests, and he will also actually listen to people who disagree with him!
thing is nutty, whoever leads america will be listened to. for right or wrong, america can't easily be ignored. most muslim states aren't the taliban. they'll respect the office, the nation and the boat load of big bad guns for sure.
yes, that's what i like hursh, he is the least bought and owes the fewest favors
hurshy i agree with you unlike hillary
joanne which one??
Edwards did not want to mandate heslth care
ag5 not the plural
jellen which one?
I need the first ag5, please, mlfan.
looking that way bonkler yes, but what about popularity among the common citizens of those countries, that is an important consideration
egbo, edwards was willing to garnish wages to pay for healthcare, just like hillary, actually, he said it first.
yeah the phrase "universal health care" sounds great, but when people start getting money taken out of their paychecks, more than they already do... i don't think that will go over real big
jellen to think quickly
f i r e w o r k s ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! * * * * * * * * * * * *
hi everyone
Hi what did i miss?
Yay, ypsi!!!
hursh, i think the offered plans are wrong is all, i think a single payer national healthcare program would go over great
wtg yps
Hi, Andree.
or ag + n*** queen of the
Thanks, mlfan. Got it!
hi herin and andree
wtg jellen
woohoo yw jellen gj i was hoping you would
ch 5/14 please
thatcher was not exactly well liked, she was afforded more gravitas than pretty much any of her successors. a nation like iran for instance, is largely moderate and (by local standards) liberal on the street. they're run by hardline old boys. they'd listen 'cos they had to and there'd be ore support than you imagine.
Thanks, jo!
ch + bertie b***'s every flavor beans
ah, good ol' magsie
i tried jell yvw
perhaps bonk, but consider how populare we (the states) are right now, a president with a muslim (albeit weak) background would do so much more to promote peace.
hurshy dont get that clue
HI
really i think it is nice how the brits can keep someone they like in power for as long as they like, and boot 'em out whenever they get the urge.
obama would get europe to respect the US again
al 6 first one please
anybody - well maybe not romney - will surely get us more respect than we've got now!
i just got a ch 5/14 woohoo
but probably obama the most.
*shudders* hursh, bad idea....bad bad bad...
america's reputation needs more rehab than britney lol
we could've kicked bush out 3 years ago, when people realized a year too late what i'd been trying to tell them for five years, that bush is despicable
good evening, babblers - I'm coming back for my last round -
hursh, if we'd kicked out bush, then cheney would be in ....he scares me more
hi jbv
should hapeachedve been im
unfortunately canada is on a fast track to emulate all of the stupidity that gwb practiced under the autocratic and pudgy rule of stephen harper.
Hi, JBV
Well if you have 3 trillion dollar budget and you cant organise you shite to have a decent health care system you should be shot
joanne?
no nut, not if we did it the brit way, and just elected somebody new
i don't have it ml
"autocratic and pudgy rule" - great phrase!
to monkey it
watch it fernallady, i understand your country is going to be making some aboriginal apologies soon
joanne i have 3 al 5 words and thats it
there are 5 of em
there are 5 al words
the aussies made a great leap forward in deposing the bigotted cretin john howard and there's nothing wrong with apologizing when you've done someone wrong.
does anyone need a clue? I do - I need co 5/16, please
ANd i disagree. There were white women too that had their babies stolen to so the government can shove that apology up their butt.
alga
just saying, you don't have a perfect country either
spell a penny a funny way, JBV (or dime or nickel or quarter...)
I can help with some of the al's, mlfan.
Never said we did but seriously choose to eat or pay for meds is b.s
people had their babies stolen?
and don't mistake my rants against bush or my cries for change, i am VERY patriotic
i don't think this is the place for politics and howard was not a cretin!!!
i hve 3 al 5 words but their are more al words then that and i am not findign them
Do you have the four's?
who's howard?
i've been trying that hurshy - does it have two consonants? can't monkey it
got 4 now
Andree that would imply something at least useful right?
jellen i need al 6please or 6's whatever it is off the top of my head without looking at the list again at the moment
i know what you mean nut, obama is the first guy who makes me feel like i can remember why i was a very patriotic child.
well it has 3 altogether, JBV
jellen i have 3 al words they are 5 letters
like kennedy
yes, very kennedy-esque
Don't have the al6.
ok, got it, but that was a penny with an extra N!
Google Stolen generation for that comment
al 6 is a combination word for 3 metals
al4= al + indefinite article
what i feel patriotic towards is the ideals, and that's why i never supported bush - he tried to protect us by destroying them, and when we do that, we defeat ourselves.
obama is young, attractive and he speaks well. i don't get a sense of there being much policy going on there though.
jellen how about the first al 4/4?
jellen how about the first al 4/4?
hursh, yes kinda
Just clued.
bonkler, having the plan isn't good enough if you don't have the power to convince people
i'll shut up about politics, canada has a load of stupid to wash out of the parliament building and precious little to replace it with.
and having all your own ideas so you think you don't need anyone else's opinion is cheney.
not getting it jellen unfortunately
al5= a + l*** (bigger than a pate, but not a road)
http://tinyurl.com/2hag3r this theses is about white aus womens babies that were also taken. I have not read it but i have read a book 'looking for lisa' about similar stuff
ok, i'll shut up too, i spout about it elsewhere plenty....(go obama)
still need the co 5/16, clues welcome
al + **t (picnic pest)
maybe the dingo ate their babies?
people were sleeping when they elected Bush, now they woke up, want no more white guys
ty jellen thats weird i tried that word before and it didnt work now it did
Hi Everyone...
Hi, red!
hi red
that is so not funny,that baby was eaten by a dingo
No time to finish this grid today, which is a bummer, but I have to go to work and I am sooo tired...
does it taste like chicken?
al4= al + **mily (kinfolk)
al 4/6's please?
i only know the line from seinfeld, i don't actually know the context of the original line... sorry...
phantom: Toenail
ty for that al 4/7
al + Babble is just a **me.
Hurshy that is NOT funny. How would you like to wake up after having a child and then being told 'sorry your child has died or sign this please for medical reasons' whilst still drugged from the birthing process. Later you find out that your child was alive and taken from you. This did happen to women that were from 'ill repute' (unwed mothers) back grounds in the 60s
Ok ill shut up now
again... i didn't know the context... did not mean to offend.
jellen do you have the 6's?
Those were the al four's
who else did that happen to? somebody in a novel.
co 5/16 anyone ?
it happened a lot apparently hurshy, for a while anyway
Its ok ill shut up now. In funny news fire truck got swamped in flood waters. All fine but 4 soggy embarrassed fireman
sorry jbv dont have it
al6= al + ****le Kidman without the h
The book you might be thinking of is The Memory Keepers Daughter?
dickens? montgomery? *puzz puzz*
nope, haven't read that

Does anyone have the al6/18 and care to clue it?
That is an apparent fact.
oh ok never mind jellen i got it ty i was was going the wrong way'
and if anyone is grossed out by my does it taste like chicken comment, it's not my fault, it's because i listen to the distorted view
jellen, al 6/18 is al 4/4 + opposite of out
Thanks JBV i was trying to clue that
Eva the term Long Pork Springs to mind
Thanks, JBV

ugh
I only have 93, but you know, lately my life seems to be getting in the way ofmy babble...
HI Red
Krista i am not that far ahead of you
don't you hate that?!!
if you didn't know how to say cost in spanish...
Sorry to ask but is Chuck Norris getting involved in politics?
I don't see the word for cost in spanish in the grid?
al 5/14, the first? I have the one that means to arrange
oh, I see, sorry I didn't get that, and I do speak Spanish
red you are about 20 some words ahead of me
a + narrow street
he's stumping for someone, Herin..I forget the candidate
yes, mlf, but I'm about to quit so I can go earn some money.
jellen.. active lively

cracking toast grommit!

Not being able to pay my bills, and being very hungry.

well THAT's a weird one
sounds good to me, do you have a place in mind?
agreed Hurshy
thank, Ms. Pam..I appreciate it. Is your primary tomorrow, or is it over? ours isn't until next week.
opps the rest of that sentance was You never see animals that close as people tap the glass or block the view. I knelled down and put my hand on the glass. There was no one there as they were all watching Babba the cover band
Lol, haven't thought that far ahead. I am NOT a picky eater, so I'm up for anything. Do you have a preference?
tomorrow, krista. part of super/stupor tuesday...
No not really. I have been enjoying Panera lately; we don't really have to decide now though do we...
mmm panera
aaaaaaah, lord bless panera
i like the fuji apple chicken salad

yes, I had that recently! Yumm!
belated thank you to mom, I just went back and found your clue for the ga 6/7
i'll take the broccoli cheddar soooop
i've never been to Panera, even tho hubby likes it and we have one, so that would be great
os + ci 4/5

Whats been happening is even if i appear to be here i go through cycles and pauses and stuff :(
li 5/14?
li5/14 rhymes with... rhymes with... the fella simple simon met

So, you're saying that you're not all here?
In cycles yes. I have 2 - 20 min cycles drives me nuts
Ah
jeepers, siren ain't foolin around
I am suprised you haven't heard the cussing across the oceans
that is a clever clue, Hurshy, I was having trouble coming up with one
yeah it's not the most clueable word
Nice CLue Hurshy
Clue is too clever for me!
well I will add that you need to use the 3 point tile in the center
Hi and bye, all -- bridge night so I must dash -- just thought I'd drop in and say I did finish so that I could see the video -- but only with the help of morewords. I hated this grid -- probably the majority of "words" were either obscure or non-words. I wish I would have time to clue them, which I enjoy and is part of the reason I use morewords in these circumstances. Okay, no more speechifying!
Got it! Thanks hurshy and phandmd
I have to lock up the cat soon :(
ooh i know, li + the journey of natty ***n!
oh, even better!
huh?
So I'll be back after the flip -- happy babblign, all!
huh. What?
heard my name... well sorta
Hi and bye, jilli
Stid, you left a grid unfinished just for nut. Now that's friendship. Or someone who loves a dare. ;)
Landlard (lord) is coming over to measure up the place as he is going to gut it and stuff. My cat hates people and i don't want her to escape
HI Jull

thanks saph, you're always so good at that
:)
i love how you read the lawsuit names etc. sounds like how i read through articles. whenever i get to proper nouns such as names, places, job titles, etc, i blur over them.
Hi Saphyre how are you my dear
an 8 is plural of an 7 - very very old
doing ok herin, how about you?
who read lawsuit names???
Thanks, specificity, but it's a laptop. Afraid to mess with keys.
i was half listening to babblecast 34, you mumble through names several times
pretty sure one was in a lawsuit
Fighting a grumpy pc
mine is a laptop too.

Thanks
yw :-)
Hello Capng! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Hi. I still have 164 words left. Lol.
no idea. Not yet. My Cat is in her carry box for the time as it gives them a chance to walk about unharrased
Hello wordy friends! I'm finished, just popping in to say hello and have dessert with you
HI wee
Hello weegee!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
Congratulations weegee on your early finish! Hooray
weegee,do you want some French Silk Pie for dessert
hey min, herin!!, une, capn...anyone else down there in the chat
11 left not impressed
will seldom say no to chocolate... I wouldn't be impressed with a gorilla for dessert either herin.
I have 83 left to go and I am REALLY not impressed!I am impressed w/your eleven though herinfernallady!
I don't eat desert so the Gorrilla was from Sunday night
ok - I'm off to the couch - hang in herin - and I'll catch up w/y'all tomorrow!
my last 11 were plurals and 'add on l last letter' words as usual. Life is short herin, eat dessert first...fruit counts btw
ok gang, bedding question. i'm sick of our comforters falling apart, even if they say washable. is cotton sateen a better choice than polyester?
I don't eat desert much
I use feather Feather
i HATE when howie mandel uses the word strategy regarding the selecting of cases on deal or no deal. there's no strategy!!! it's PICKING NUMBERS!!! gah!!
maybe you should look into comforter alternatives. a quilt, perhaps
hurshy, I agree.... I also hate perky perky contestants, whatever the show
okay... what the heck is gi4 and why can't I monkey it????
yeah, but i don't really like the look of the quilts i've seen. i'm limited to penney's, have a gift card there.
get a duvet feather... you can stuff any ratty old comforter in there!
GI vowel letter after m
i have gotten two very nice quilts at walmart... but if you must go with penney, perhaps the duvet is the way to go
duvet?
I would love to make you a quilt feather, if you lived closer.
oh for heavens sake... what kind of word is that?
ty herein
it's like a sack, you put a comforter in then you can just wash it, instead of the comforter itself.
duvet is like a giant pillow case for your comforter, usually with buttons to close. you can even make one from 2 queen or king sheets and snaps to close
oh man, that sound like a great deal. but they're all boring looking at penney's! wahhhh
no idea Hi Doxy. I thought you buy a blank duvet and then cover it with linen quilt covers
i would make me a quilt doxy, if i didn't have two kiddos! i used to quilt, "back in the day"
incidentally, DON'T buy a quilt from domestications (catalog/web) - they fall apart quicker than you can say bob's-your-un5
hi doxy!
Hi all. I didn't get to do a lot of crafty type stuff when my kids were little.
yeah, my bed bath and beyond one fell apart after one wash. i was very put out.
the walmart ones are $40 and i've had very good luck with them
SOmeone i knew had her sewing stuff in a corner and surrounded it with a baby playpen as her areas
I crocheted so many afghans when I worked a switchboard at night years ago... every family member and friend got one
Feather did you take it back as that sounds fairly crappy
it's not the space, it's the time and energy
i'm really yearning to crochet something lately
get a walmart quilt, and then use your penney gift card for somethin else :)
I just crochet scarves now, couple of evenings and done
I wish someone taught me to crochet
Help with the E at the first coloum
my great aunti did, herin, when I was 12.. she did 3 and 4 inch borders on handkerchiefs but I had no patience for the tiny work so went with afghans
I have 3 els and 2 Ens
it's funny, my mom had a crochet hook and yarn at her house last week. now mind you, i haven't crocheted in 10-15 years, but as soon as i held it, my fingers automatically started doing their thing. was funny
2 en 6 and 1 en 7 ... add *mnopqr
thanks
muscle memory feather
I want to learn how to tat.
fish me thanks
had to be, as i wasn't even thinking about how to do it.
I made 2 scarves last month... bought 1 fuzzy orange/fuschia skein and 1 woolly orange and crocheted with them doubled... fancy
Cat is trying to claw her way out of her crate my leg included
no fish herin... I doubt anyone here uses en 6/7 in daily conversation
sounds cute weegee. those yarns make such warm scarves
*puts fresh-backed peanut butter cookies and chocalate chip cookies in the PB*
yummmmm, send me please.
sounds nice wee!
people need to learn to do basic math.
i mean unless you just set yourself a minimum and take the first deal that comes above that.
got carried away with one, it's five feet long!! (let's see, thats 60 inches, 1 foot short of 2 yards... -basic math for hurshy :)
each of these offers has been statistically too low. and they act like the decision is based on like, character and stuff. it should be based on odds, or a pre-decided minimum.
Hi DC
hi
Is there 5 Ga words please
7 herin
thank you
ooh, racoons just turned on the motion lights... I put marshmallows out earlier. going to watch the show. See you all tomorrow. Have fun everyone
bye weegee
Night Weegee
yw
i think the racoons might be in cahoots with the squirrels
THat was driving me nuts
though coons are often rabid, squirrels not so much so
you're right nut...squirrels in the daytime, raccoons at night with the odd possum now and then. niters all. (possums never rabid, body temp too low) really gone now!
hey guys, i need one tiny little clue please? du5/22
