hi jellen
Thanks, lickety!
hi chic and flosey
hi ping!
hi Ping, haven't seen you in a long time
hi all. Tiny one tonight. Maybe I'll get it done before bed.
nice flag chic
Hi, autumn
hi ping
tiny ones are often wicked
i think this one is wicked jilli
so do I, andree
HELLO ALL!
thanx flosey!
oops. forgot to take off caps lock...
hi stiddy!
is it flag day? *runs off to get pretty flag*
hi stid
my poor ears stid...
hi
hi stid
Hi, stid
firewords
wow, great dart
Congrats, dart!!!
OMG, dart!
okay, properly attired.
DART yay
10 minutes?
*hands on hips* dart, where is your proof? let's see the words... *hopeful look*
lot of four letter words
LOL YAY DART!!!!
37 4's
pretty flag, stid -- but it's supposed to be YOUR flag (see my icon or Resources!)
my flag is dumb. Stupid old green background, George's profile... dumb.
what's the 7 start with, dart?
wh 7
tx
sounds nice, stid! Familiarity breeds contempt, and we're not familiar with it!
the 7 is actually sorta obvious...
finished
YAY mitch!
you're amazing too, mitch
gj mitch
wow, great mitch
yay mitch
Yay for mitch!!!
proud not to have looked at the list for this one :)
jellen! what are you still doing up!!! *look of awe at stamina of librarian-types*
Slept late this morning, stid.
mitch done already!!! -- just got here
hello nan!
Hi, nan
oh -- I know how that is, Jellen! LOL tricky cycle, that!
hi nan -- dart finished before mitch -- took about 10 minutes
think mitch got here later than i
don't think i've seen a more peasly board than this one
think 70 or so is the smallest ive seen
there was a 13 once
I have seen grids in the 50s or so.
wow
a 13???
ruru - 13? The smallest I've seen is 35
we had a 50 + not too long ago
and that's in the last 675 grids
i know on tangle we had boards that in 2 mins. people together only found 5 or 6
yea, saw a couple of those - saw one with 3 - i wonder if they use a different board generator here
From what I know - Dr God has pre built all of the grids in advance. I'd imagine he throws out the really small, and really large ones.
i often wondered if some boards were set up and others were total random generated or not
makes sense
got the J... down to 13
There also might be rules on max number of repeating letters - I'm just guessing.
Lickety -- the other night Dr_G had run out of grids again -- what did you do?
As far as I know they are completely random - but I'd say there are some rules. jilibus - I would say so.
I didn't do anything - wasn't me ;-)
hi babblers
I mean, what did you do about getting clues up? Did you have to wait a long time?
Hi, shdy. How are you doing?
hi shady!
hi shdy
good, ty, how are you, jellen?
hi stid and jilli!
I'm fine.
well, that sounds resoundingly positive, jellen! lol
LOL. Getting ready to give myself a shot :-(
Morning all. Small but deadly for me so far. Kinda stuck at 28.

Back when I get home..to finish this little abomination.
Been working. Got the rest of my stock in and set up last week, and opened the fair this weekend.
oh
Couple of Really long days. Makes me kinda upset at my boss, sometimes, that i dont get overtime.
How've you guys been, this week?
call the state department of labor
Hi, BabbleRabble!
hello, folks
blew my back out this week other than that okay
hey babs
Evening BR. I would. But I'm my own boss... I dont think it'd work out well that way, either.
hi babrab
I am my own boss too, but the hours can be long
self-inflicted wounds are not covered
Ugh. That sucks ruru. You shouldnt try to haul ALL the casks yourself.
yep
dee you done yet?
I know BR. But I appreciate the advice, Thank you =)
I try to only move the frisky casks..
Which is probably why you're backs messed up lol
yep
maybe you should try for the Smaller frisky casks.
lil demi-casks
they are heavy when filled with wine though
I have 2 he 6's. what does the 3rd 6 start with?
ma 6
only 2 he 6's I think
I expect they would be... liquids are like that.
thx jellen
its that weirdo ma 6 (chaos
usually spelled differently with a sometimes voweel
vowell
moon my typing went to hell here
I'm contagious? Or perhaps, inspirational???
or both?
contagiously inspirational?
Possibly. But it could also be that your monkey got bored with a short grid?
contispatedly irrational?
we lost the monkey over the weekend
I'd more likey be regularly irrational with occassional bouts of contagion.
we had a little monkey service and funeral
fireworks
That must be my problem. You guys lost the monkey.
Congrats Dee =)
Yay, Dee!!!
ty vm
!!!! yeah!!!!!!! dee
ty ru
YAY dee -- did you time yourself? Did you beat Dart's 9 minutes?
I was hoping for a bigger one... will be on vacation later this week
I've never had monkeys. I use lolcats instead.
I will have to pass on that joke for now..
Are the cats Any more predictable?
took me 18 minutes
Predictably inaccurate.
dart and mitch are so fast; have no aspirations of beating them; just admiring their abilities!!
Nice Jell =)
as I admire yours too, dee
how are you jili? nice icon.
they are a bit scary to me
ty, sweetie
lol ru
I'm ok, dee, and thanks
minds like a steel trap
I dont have a Monkey... I have to envy yours.
I finished in less than nine minutes. ... of course, that doesn't include the 40 minutes staring at the grid and thinking about it (:
you have monkey envy?
lol jwr
lol, jwr, and congrats!
I think I may, ruru.
yw; we had some bad news this wee; please pray for my hubby's uncle; his cancer has returned and prognosis is not good; they are waiting to hear doctor's recommended treatment
lol jw wtg!
Congrats J =)
they thot he was in remission, so family is pretty shaken
what kind of cancer dee?
I will, Dee. Best wishes for all of you.
I am not sure where cancer started; my hubby is awful with details. This week they found tumors in his abdomen..
ty moon
not sure what they are attached to, and unsure of original site
Sorry to hear about your husband's uncle. My husband just finished his last chemo treatment on Friday...it was his second time with cancer...he's only 40.
oh, best of luck to your hubby's uncle!
how is he doing Kiz?
ty jili
they have so many new things in the arsenal against cancer dee .. have hope
He's now cancer free and I pray the same for your husband's uncle.
kiz -- best of luck to your hubby too
ty all. Volley so sorry. Sometimes it's really hard to stay on the rollercoaster -- get your hopes and wishes up and then crash and start all over again. But it's what we do.
I agree ru; fantastic kiz!!!!
so true jw; all the grandkids are really close to him; I think that may be the hardest part
It's true...so much has changed with cancer treatment. My husband was stage four colon cancer and is now cancer free. It wasn't easy and he's now missing some colon and half a lung (metasticized...sp?), but I still have him!
whew!
amazing Kiz; where are you located or where did he go for treatement?
We actually had a little article written up in the local paper just by chance. We're in Iowa and I actually have our entire story in our blog at http://TeamZieser.blogspot.com
got to go now... best of luck dee and good for you kiz... see you soon... good to see you moonie...
The blog has lots of personal info, but I'm now sharing it because I think it can help people and encourage them.
Bye, ruru.
The hospital / doc his uncle used is not good communicating, which has been problematic. Thank you, I will save your address!
bye jellen...did you make any rezzies yet?
Is the uncle anywhere near Mayo?
Thank you so much for sharing; I really appreciate your openness.
Cya Ruru!
No, I haven't ruru. That's my goal for this week.
Mayo is in Minneapolis Minnesota in case you aren't familiar.
Aloha Babblers!
okay let me know if I can help
Later taters
Bfn ruru, lol!
Aloha, Fran!
Hi fran!
syt jilli
Hiya Fran!
hi jellen!
We are in northern Indiana, and his wife is researching the best place for his kind of cancer. My dad went to mayo when he was diagnosed with Wegener's Granulomatosis Syndrome; amazing place.
Our clinic here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa works hand-in-hand with Mayo (which is one of the top of the top...royalty from other countries go there) and we got wonderful care.
I'd love to have his uncle go their for treatment.
dee, read back in the log...sending good thoughts your way.
fran -- great icon!
thanks jilli!
ty fran I will!!

Excellent!

Hi Marmar
My partner is with me again today, had a fever all night and feels better now but I don't want tosend him to kindergarten
Hi all!
a million dollars would be nice
Dee, just wonderful. You go enjoy it to the hilt and tell us all about it :D
well get him to work finding words mary. :-)

hi babrab!
dee, that sounds super!
I agree, BabbleRabble. Good to see you.
I sure will! LOL LOL babble... signed up for a $5,000 drawing at staples tonight... that wouldn't be a mil, but I would sure take it.
howDy, folks
Hi BabRab
just enough for a nice house here. :-)
hiya mar and babrab happy babbling
a house or 2 lol. poor little one, hope he feels better fast
has anyone seen the movie, The Cider House Rules?
We have been enjoying the grid and the chat this morning. We are exactly half way finished and came to a grinding halt...like usual!
never, Dee. Is it good?
Heard it was good, dee, but didn't see it
No Dee
yes dee and i liked it a lot
no dee, not i
Marmar: break time then. Grab a coffee and a milk, and then return with fresh monkey eyes :)
really really interesting & thought provoking...I did, too, kiwi; some funny parts, and some tear-jerking parts
exactly dee
I was really surprised at how good it was. Author also wrote The World According to Garp, and New Hampshire Hotel. Kiwi, have you seen either of thouse?
the first years and years ago lol the second i dont think i have
I have seen the Garp one, and read the book.
ohhh which reminds me yeah kiwis got a grammy this year lol
I think I am going to look for them at Netflix. If this one is any indication of how good they are, would be worth a viewing.
flight of the conchords won best comedy album woohoo o
aedo
did you like the book, sprite?
when I see tear-jerking I get concerned that an eye doesn't get poked out
LOL
babble, you are making me laugh out loud tonight; hugs to you. I love to laugh.
I think the Hotel New Hampshire was partly filmed in Tadoussac, Quebec where our family spends summers
only parts of it, Dee. Other parts felt rather forced to me, and I don't like that.
how lovely
LOL BabbleRabble
I agree sprite. Character development in this one was fantastic; subject matter ouchy in parts, but very thought provoking.
Read Garp -- didn't like it. That was long ago
does anyone have a clue for ma 6, 27?
ah great Dee, sounds like a must-seer then.
well all, I need to throw in a load of laundry. I love you all. Thanks for support and laughter. Robin Williams played in the movie.
sounds like something causing a lot of may*** but spelt with a vowel instead of the y

does that mean my state flag or my city flag?
yay fireworks!
wtg carra!
any one rows
yay carra!!
hmm
they're both kinda boring
if your college has a flag, you could use that
or you could go look for a flag you feel connected to, Rows
should have got that.. get job offers for it all the time hah
ty
hehe
and wtg Fran... how many left?
Sprite Hi. Hi Everyone. I have a request
am sticking around to see you finish, Fran, lol
hi lady
2 sprite, but don't worry about me...i don't mind torturing myself
hi infernal!
Hi. have a request please
okay, i better ask for help then. :-)
I know the fe4ing, Fran!
there, i changed my icon
it's Sacramento's flag
kinda colourful at least
nice one, Rows
i need one more W, it's either a 4 or 5 and i have wh5/22 already
lol Fran, don't because of me, only do when you want to!
that's a nice one rows
funny thing is, i've never actually seen a Sacramento flag
there is a wh5/20 as well
only seen the picture online
it's from first W so has to be WA i think
there is one wa5
i have wa4/9 and wa4/11
wa5/24 to be precise
Request please
we are still waiting for you to tell us, lady
go ah*** infernal
can you please clue me he6/24 and he4/6 bottom
Ok someone i know has a little girl she is 18 months old. I was wondering if people could email me sites or stories of their native home. She wants to raise her little one with different cultures
sprite, can you give me a little more? i'm brain dead
Fran: wa + poison **y + vowel
ugh, thanks sprite! why didn't i try that?
to wa*** your rights Fran
lol wtg Fran. Only one now?
mar, he6/24 is "past tense" of the back of your foot
arrghh ty
I would also like to show you this story site. http://www.sacred-texts.com/index.htm its kinda interesting
he4/6 is he + not you
not sure about the 4/6 bottom one, Mar, am looking
yup, the one Fran said, lol
yes, i should be able to get it if you tell me the total points today.
thanks lynxxx also!
not sure what you mean, lady. If she wants culture, she can find it all on internet, right?
I am done speaking can oneyone help
538, Fran
thanks thought I put that already! fireworks yay
wtg Mar!
Yes but Stories and rhymes from different childhoods and cultures to open her to a wide range of experiences. I'd really like to tell her the original versions of fairy tales too. No homogenised Disney stuff while I can help it. Also any games that you can think of that help develop hand eye co-ordination from an early age would be good.
yay mar!!!
Hooray for Just!
That is what she is asking
ty
duh! forgot the aw4!!!
fireworks
YAH FRAN
Congrats Fran !!
wtg fran!!
then you need the Grimm stories for fairytales.
wtg Fran!!!
i'll try to find some hawaiian stories on-line infernal
Hans, the boy who put his finger into the dyke, had great hand-eye coordination, but that is the best I can think of in the netherlands... ;)
or dike... which is it? I remember someone here going totally bananas about me using the wrong one...
seriously sprite?
dyke
Thanks. I think Grimm Stories are a bit to old for her. Can you email me at her_infernal_ladyship@yahoo.com
thanks lynxxx! Yes Fran... same one that keeps trying to start a flare against me. Thought I'd ask, lol, to be sure.
well, at 18 months all they want to do is turn the pages anyway. :-)
Well its interesting that shes asking now
best she can do at 18 months is cuddle her a lot, play a lot with her, talk to her a lot.
i'll look around in the morning infernal, if that's okay
Thanks Fran
Infernal - i am sure if your friend asks at her local library the childrens librarian would be able to suggest many suitable books
Sprite at about 5 the b.f was reading The Hobbit
er yes lady?
i used to read all the legends and stories from different countries. there was a series of libraby books like that.
those were my favorite books
ah, great suggestion, lynxxx.
Im pointing out that at 2 he was already ah? of the class
so did I, Fran. My mother used to collect fairytales from all over the world :)
Thanks Fran
that's pretty advanced infernal. is he related to the 18-month old?
but not at 18 months into reading, I think... still, Grimm is about the archtypical things. Very good stuff.
Gosh No
Infernal - I would bet that the library would also be a source of animated fairytales cd's from diff countries as well. If not they would be able to order from other libraries. Most libraries have special infant/childrens sections
ooh, Jellen's birthday is on the 12th
thanks Fran :)
Thanks. Im going to wonder off now with those suggestions
and the theme is local flowers. i have to find something purple for her
are you leaving infernal?
see you later infernal!
oh nice, Fran. She will like that.
bye for now, lady
goodnight :)
Fran, that was fireworks for you, right? Congrats :)
lol, thanks sprite!
so... I am off now. You all have a terrific day and/or night. Thanks for the fun and company! *hugs*
and thank you everyone who said congratulations!
have a great day sprite! (hug)
bye Sprite - you too!
anyone need help before i go too?
the em 5....
TY Fran I have only 5 small ones to find
i'm struggling with that one
em5 the guy that runs or manages the event/wedding etc
yay thanks :)
cool, i'll see everyone tomorrow then. bye!

Good morning/evening all.
hi haz
hi Haz
-11 with -29 WC; might need a jacket
Morning Haz, hows things?
Drippy.
morning Haz, Hi Hodag too!
lol poor sniffly thing.
And I mean my nose - not the weather and I'm calling no-one names.
snap! we both have liver and whites as icons today
I'm debating donating my nose to science. It's a phenomenon, I'm convinced.
morning lyn
That is coold BabbleR, does your hammock have central heating?
Hmmm I could open a Nose Boutique in the PB, ponders financial possibilities...
nah, I rock a bit harder
interesting video toda
y
sorry to hear you have a cold haz, do keep it to yourself and don't sneeze all over us
I'm off before I catch Haz's germs - bye everyone, until tomorrow
*guides Haz gently to isolation booth* Bye lynxxx
me to,by lyn............:-)
Probably wise, lynxxx. Though I have erected the screen of protection.....
bye lynxxx
At least Spangle stays by my side.
unwise. in a few days time, there will be dog snot everywhere
No, she's wearing a little surgical mask.
oh ... thats ok then
Hello everyone....just popping in to announce ***** daughter is pregnant **** !!
yuck..............;-)
Congratulations Karys!
will this be your first grandchils karys
yay karys!
congrats. Kary!!! ;-)
I have 3 grandsons Andree, but they are my sons' boys, this is the first for a daughter
Happy Mondays Karys, bet you are grinning like smiley cat today
Thank you ... we are quite excited, it's different somehow when it's your own daughter
the yuck was aimed to "dog snot"
yes it is karys although i will never forget the excitement of that 1st grandchild
isn't it wonderful,the next best thing to being a mom!
we took out a 1/4 page in the local paper saying a star is born
Yes, it was exciting, I think another reason is that I see Clare alot during the course of the week.
funny about daughters i see my daughter a lot too so spend more time with her kids
I do wonder too, whether because I had so many foster babies when the other Grandchildren were born, I was a bit 'babied' out, but now I don't foster anymore I am more looking forward to it.
congratulations
bye again going bake to bed "yawn"
Bye hodag,, sleep well.
' A son is a son til he takes a wife, a daughter is a daughter all her life'
bye hodag
bye hodag
It sounds like you have plenty of baby experience, Karys. We should refer al baby queries in your direction.
Lot's and lots Haz !!
how many Karys?
Well over 50 Mitch
Sound of babblers fainting
Wow, steps back in awe!
I used to have them straight from hospital til adoption or whatever
Yes, but don't forget, I was doing it for 27 years !
You're a very brave woman.
No, I just love babies !!....it's not practical to keep having your own !
i love babies too but 50!!!
Well, that's true, I suppose, but still.
and some of them weren't here that long, although some were here longer than expected !
ok, i'm off to the beach with a boinging hobbit
See you later, Atalante and Hobbit.
bye ata
wish I could say that instead of 'I must pop off to do the shopping'
bye karys
dontworry, karys, I get to do that fun on the way home ...
FIREWORKS
FIREWORKS
FIREWORKS!!!
Congratulations Andree!
Im waiting in for a courier, by the time I go out it will have defrosted a bit out there. Congrats Andree
still....... ah but next Monday I shall be saying 'bye, I'm off to Capetown' !!!
tricky little grid i thought
Congrats Andree !!
very tricky!
and Congrats jaianniah
now i want koeksisters. mmmmmm. *poofs*
You're not trying to turn us all a delicate shade of green, are you, Karys?
now, is that like me Haz... as if !!
Sheesh, how long for Karys
TY, Karys!
No. it's not like you rubbed our noses in it when you sailed off to get married in the Caribbean.
only 10 days Mitch, it's a wedding and we're staying on for a bit of a holiday. It will be another one off the 'to do' list.
hey all.
At Christmas. When the rest of us were knee deep in slush and sprouts.
Hello bf!
Hey, bfsog!
Strangely, I didn't miss the sprouts at all that year !
hi bfsog
Hi bfsog
well i am off, happy babbling to you all
No - we had your share to wade through as well.
Bye Andreee, have a good evening.
Right, now I have imparted my news, I really must go.... back later for the last 11.
See you later, Karys. And it IS wonderful news.
LOL Haz, and bye Karys
Thank you...I knew you would all be pleased !!
BRB coffee time
This is turning into a good grid, lots of old babble words well hidden.
Yes, some familiar friends that went walkabout for a while.
And some strangers that turned up out of the blue.
Is S better now he has shared his germs with you all?
He's on the mend and daughter has gone back to school even though she isn't 100 per cent yet. Spangle remains healthy.
Can you train her to answer the phone and bring you a cup of tea perhaps?
I don't think so. I know my limitations.
Gasp - you have ... limitations...?!
2 shocks in one morning, it's all too much
Oh yes. You already know about the sewing thing, it shouldn't be such a shock.
Oh that is just an amusing little eccentricity of yours that we love
There was a yum recipe in last weeks weekender for Apple/Blackberry crubmle cake, did you happen to see it?
Yes, but look how much it costs me when I need things sewn! Plus the disgrace of having daughter's name tapes criticised by the home economics teacher.
Oh the ignomy of it, I had forgotten the home economics teach episode
I probably did see it, FMitch - I like the idea of Delia's cheat cookery, although it would probably take more of an effort to source all the cheat stuff than to do the things the hard way.
She lost a pupil for Home Economics GCSE over that episode.
I'll email you the cake recipe, I can see it might have Sunday lunchtime possibilities.
Okay, I'm going to be all determined and disciplined in defiance of drippiness. Off I go to tackle the housework and THEN watch out walls, wallpaper is coming.
I say! Fireworks. Took me by surprise there.
That would be great (the recipe)!
Don't overdo it and see you later.
Well done us on fireworks. A mutual round of back-slapping.
Congrats to you too :)
Okay - have a good day yourself - it's nice and bright here so a walk will be factored in.
Bye for now!
TTFN Drippy.
Soggy wave!
Only 49 words today? Dang...
hello, is anyone here?
I think si
hey, phan, just arrived!!
am in shock over the teeny weeny grid!
good morning!
I am happy about the small grid especially after so many bigger ones
hello everyone!
If you figure out the WA 5/25 I could use a clue...
I'm here but in shock at Haz saying a grid word as she left.;)
yep, it's been The March of the Monster Grids!
I have 4 words left
hey, jac :-)
go, phan!
hey all, im just starting the grid
hey, bfsog, me too :-)
I started 10 mins ago. 19 left.
*sticking out tongue at Miss Smarty Pants*
17. :D
do you have the WA 5 yet?
I do
i have wa5/24--is that the one you need, phan?
Yes, phan. It means to set aside, like a condition in a contracr or a charge.
it's my last word
wa 5 is either what a beauty queen does plus a vowel in the middle or when you sign away your rights
the prisoner wa***d his right to an attorney
oh boy, better dump a load of fish on me for that one
:-D so fireworks for you, phan?
><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯` ·...¸><((((º>¸. ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯` ·...¸><((((º>

oops, maybe imprint didn't want a clue. (sorry)

Hi Lori You can always tell when there is a small grid, big silent gaps inthe log and raised productivity around the world. The sound of vaccuming dominates.
ma + two teams *** for the championship title
congrats Nono
LOLOL FM G'd morning
Please, son't accuse me of vacuuming.....

I actually thought the log was broken for a few minutes :)
sorry sorry didnt mean to say a rude word.
***I'm not vacuuming, and you can't make me. (crosses arms, and stamps feet***
don't worry lori we will stand together on this one.... no one can make us vacuum
Tsk tsk, sit down quietly and stop showing off.

ok bye bye everyone, happy babbling
so Lori, what are you going to do with the rest of your day?
Have a good one Nono! :-)
I plan to studiously and devotedly ignore all my housework of course!
Well yes that sorta goes without saying, was just interested in what you do do when not creatin m6/27 here :)
I do have turkey bones on for a soup, and I'm making fish cakes. I made like a kazillion heart cookies yesterday, and need to bake some other stuff for lunch boxes.
LOLOL FM I don't create it per sé, it's just something that follows me around. :-)
Storm day here, no school. Whiteouts, snow, high wind, blah blah blah.
Oh I love making soup from basics like chicken carcasses or root veg etc. Always feels it is a feast for very little $
I absolutely can not get ma6,27
That's right FM!
ma + 3rd vowel + the *** of my skirt has unraveled
Snow snow go away, come again another day! ma6/27 = 5th month funny sp and the edge of a dress
I couldn't decide between the rukey bones or split pea soup, but turkey won out in the end.
I am so glad Im just finishing lunch whilst reading of all this lovely food.
woo fireworks
Congrats bf!!!!
Congrats bf
hi all, what does the 7 start with please
I'm making a lamb curry. I've also brought a vacuum cleaner for Lori. The pic is animated but not on here, unfortunately.

w peri and hi
LOL love Mrs Mop Jacs
***what kind of a friend would buy me a vacuum?*** Yeesh
G'd morning peri
Hi, peri. Are you going to have a go at the marzipan stuff?
Lori - brought not bought. I'm only lending it to you. :)
not for a while Jac, may go buy some more ready made candies at the store.
FM - in the animated version Mrs. Mopp gets sucked into the vacuum and comes back out as Elvis.
LOL of course she does.
don't see the w7
peri - the nice thing about making your own is that you can have 'em whatever size you want.;-)
true, but I don't feel like doing the work, will you make some for me?
w7 is what a child does when they want something - they w7 it out of you in the end.
go the w7 thanks Jac
peri - I would but the postage would be astronomical.
If you were pernickety enough you could wh7 a commitment out of her
:(
tx, fmitch!
and jac!
Helloooo Une :)
***still appalled by this whole vacuum thing***
Sorry peri! (I feel all guily now.)
Or even guilty.
howdy! (am listening to hilarious interview with Amy Sedaris on NYC NPR station!)
don't jac,, just wish you lived closer
Quietly takes ribbons of brand new mop and bucket set and puts it in the cupboard.
Can you ship foodstuffs into the US?
By the way, g'd morning Une
FM - you'd better put it in the PB picture next to a pic of Lori. :D
someone mailed me Smarties a few years ago
Oh yes, once the proctologist exam is complete.....
nope fmitch . . . ALTHO my ex-mother-in-law used to smuggle stuff in packages
peri - I've send chocolate to a friend in Canada. It cost a fortune, though!

Oh yuk, Une!
Pungent!

morning Scrabs!
scrabbler, very good Swedish writer...
Luc--you will laugh--most of the schools in Buffalo are closed due to the extreme cold...windchills of 15-20 below zero F.
The concern is always the low income kids without warm winter clothing.
mornin babblers!
no no scrabs - minus 15-20 F approaches REAL colds - it's about 0 degrees C...
Yes, I know. What we are experiencing here is what some areas call a warm spell.
and i share your concern about the poor kids...
Hi Eva--happy birthday!
thanky!!
yes, we like 0 degrees C - it's a balmy day for us...lol...
happy birthday to you Eva !! many happy returns !
happy birthday to you, EvaN
It is 10F here right now and we got lots of new snow. My driveway had to get plowed out.
thanky, thanky!
Hi Can I have help with the ma 6/27?
dont have it sm... just made 25...
it is cold here too...but reading scrabbs and Luc, I dare not complain..I have a dental appt. at 4 pm so it will be very cold then
we didn't get much snow here, but it was windy and the temp is 7F
When I went to bed it was 6F---again, tropical for Luc.
hi pab...brrrr
pab, we don't remeber when we got 7 F ...lol..
hi annie, sorry to hear that montreal
13 F here with wind chill of -4...I'm not going out!
no snow, though!
re-lol pab - no seriously, the worst we got this season is minus 33 C including the windchill factor...
Happy B'Day to Eva!!!! Hi pabtrek, and Scrabbler.. were you able to get to Buffalo yesterday to see Mary?
hi gdine
anyone have the 7 ?
WH7/52
hi gdine and Aloy
apparently an MA7 - dont have it
HI annie
hi gdine !
ah tx Eva, will look for wh7 instead...
wh 7/52 clued earlier...what kids do when they want something badly
ty, Eva... saw it right off !
Yes, Aloy. The first half of the drive was scary---whiteouts. I saw Mary but she was very irritable and asked me to leave after a while. I felt hurt (still do) but I know that was her pain/sadness/frustration speaking.
theres an MA6, but i dont have that yet...
sorry to hear that ((scrabs))
Hmm, it's not whining....looking still.
ahh, found the MA6 -- its an alternate spelling of craziness, insanity...
(or at least, thats what it looks like)
tx eva - got the ma6
Oh Scrabbler...don't be hurt.
Aha, I figured out wh7! TY for the clue.
my crazy insanity is in the way of me figuring out the ma 6 clue!
oh dear.. yes, don't take it personally... I am like that too... don't want anyone around, need to withdraw for strength.. sorry you didn't have a better visit.. she will thank you later
tx gdine, got theWH7
the temp in Ohio is also 7
that leaves me with one more 6, then all the rest are 4s and 5s i have HE6 and MA6
Yw...another clue for ma 6?
MA6 ends up the sewing of the bottom of a pant leg of skirt
hi shorty
I know, Annie, but I am her friend, and I want to help her feel comfortable, and then she wanted to be alone, but she let her brother stay. I just want Mary back--the Mary I knew, but she is suffering SO much, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It breaks my heart.
hi shorty!!!
hi mont
hi annie!
Hi Shorty--long time, no see.
Tx eva...finally got it
Monkey found ma6, TY, Eva.
scrabbler, yes, it is heartbreaking..you hurt for her and yourself
she doesn't want you to suffer too, Scrabbler.. ergo, she didn't want you to see her suffer
Hi Scabbler yes I am busy googoo and gahgahing my new grandson
congrats, shorty!!!
Tell us all about him, Shorty!
congratulations, shorty
Thank you he is soooooooooo prescious and so beautiful

Newborns are fascinating creatures to watch. They were inside, in fluid, not breathing, then they come out and start breathing in this world. The transition is incredible. It still amazes me whenever I see a new baby at the hospital.

help with the two he6's, please?
lady natts, thanks for trying! LOL
now only the he6,27:)
he6, if you cured someone you did this to them
(spelled wrong)
doesn't every babbler dream about this?
he 6 well he***** (think shoes); other -think boats
LOL Lady that wouldn't be a dream but a nightmare believe me! Aaternoon all
thank you
true... I was a little daunted in my dream (and imagining reactions like yours, FM)
i dream about BookWorm more often than this game, actually
I have survived a 500+ but have the grey hairs to prove it *grin*
lol
I haven't finished the last 3 or 4 grid... a 49-er should be good for me, no?
i am wondering if this is the puzzle i am going to get without lickety. i have 9 left.
go cheeky!!
This is definately doable
FMitch, I checked out your ic in your bio. See no gray hairs!
we should make a 500+ club
*pic * was the word
I understood, inge
You mean whoever finished that 500 gets to join?
ooh bershire - there's a great berkshire history set of sites; my daughter plows thru the kids version
or any 500, they do turn up on occasion!
I wish, I have more than a smattering but each one was earned and Im proud of them.
oh no...if that happened, I wouldn't be able to join. It would take me FOREVER to do 500
berkshire; my fingers are too anxious today
16 left and i haven't been here very long
Largest noted in lickeys stats was July last year 530+, cant remember before then. :) nDan
500 might be fun for an hour or two, but not fun to try to finish
I was still playing tangleword in july last year... hadn't discovered babble yet
butvery satisfying to complete!
no doubt, ata
and then we have the little diddly ones like today which sometimes can be very vicious. Todays is good.
I'm not even half-way through yet!
and my internet is going to be disconnected any second
http://berkshirehistory.com/index.html
Oh I'll have a look nDan
stuck on last word needed ma 5 18, any help?
I have two he6's what is the other 6?
df sounds like huge fleet of ships
?
no help not sure what huge fleet is called
and where would I find a df?
ma word nats
Village People song; in the [shymes]

one vote to make weadle a word. it sounds good to me LOL

TO WEADLE - TO TY AND WADDLE INCONSPICUOUSLY....
Sorry, caps lock
lol
there's a wh7 that sounds the same as the word i just nominated . . .

no, it's a question I need an answer for!!!!
Oh heck ummmm
the last ma is killing me........eeeeerr
simple physics, lady!!
because there are 23 words you haven't found yet
too much chatting?
I never took physics.
Hiya FMitch!
ma 5 18
LOL Ata
sounds like the defence forces on water
still need 9 -- getting tough now --
you need more monkeys, lady!! LOL
ma 5 18 rhymes with huge fleet of ships kept for battle & protecting nations; Village People Song - In The ****
I certainly do need more monkeys.. and I am soon to lose Internet connection because the service guy is here to introduce me to "Telus TV"
fireworks.....WOOOOOOHOOO
thanks
Congrats dragonfly
Hello, Babblers of the World!
this is pissing me off... why can't I think of a fleet of ships?
hi vicuna
thanks FMitch
we have the army, **** and air force
also rhymes with what you pour on mashed potatoes
lady, if you don't join the marines or the army, you join the ****. ma5 rhymes with that
wow... that worked
ty
or an armada 8-)
who knew?
Hello Vicunaaa
And of course it has no meaning in the question mark...
Vi Vi Vi!
I think I was trying to think of the armada... that's what got me frustrated.
6 to go -- struggling now --
Wheee, fun people!
19 left
(ooooh, one e away from egregious penalty!)

does
oh hi sadie... haven't seen you for awhile
4 to go . . .
does anyone have a clue for the 7??
one left hehe
Vi Vi Vi! - sounds like a latin greeting or something.
hiya LadyNatts I just have been here different times i guess , finally broke down and paid for it hehe
the 7 wh and sounds like the metal thing you sew with
I hope it's an honorific one and not one that means "Throw her to the lions!"
pablo rhymes with small german car with insect name
nope, that's Vi! Li!
it's a term for sucking up, I think... (I wouldn't know anything about sucking up)... wh7
to cajole; whine & wh***** your way
thank you
Welcome to the pro, Sadie.
yea i got em all
ty LadyNatts
too darn addicting not to go pro heh
A vicuna, of a vicuna, to a vicuna, a vicuna, Oh Vicuna! Throw the vicuna to the lions!
indeed!
Good afternoon all.........
afternoon caitlyn
hi caitlyn
Afternoon caitlyn Happy Mondays
Yay for sadie! Hello, caitlyn!
ty Vicuna :)
Is Vi allowed to conjugate herself?
am I not going to finish this grid too... that would be too disappointing, with only 49 words. but I seem to be stuck!
Well, if you'd prefer, I can throw you to the lions instead, FM!
aww you can do it if i can get through most can lol
I was looking foward to a large grid today as its the only day i have without grandchildren.......and what do we get ...........49 words!!!
just monkeyed the weird F word. Oy!
*gasps* we are throwing each other to the lions?
You must be strong Vi to contemplate even lifting me nevermind chucking.
I dreamt we had a 600+ board today caitlyn. Sorry.
Poor caitlyn. I, on the other hand, am relieved to have a small one, as I have other things I need to be doing.
FM, I am strong indeed. But although you may be tall, your delicate and waiflike frame is as a summer breeze to heft and toss.
How romantic Vic !!LOL
Don't worry, LadyNatts. You're safe as long as you don't go all Latin on us.
ROFL dear Vi :)
Fireworks ... and it seems as if I just got here.
you must have just got here, merk
fireworks, and one fish for my last word!
(And if you are, in fact, slightly more than a summer breeze, look on the bright side: maybe the lions will be knocked silly when you land on them!)
Yay for Book Doc and Merk!
<*)))))>< one dead fish for me LOL
Um you know I look after the lions, so I feel pretty safe with them.
Oooo Congrats Gwen and Merk
Curses, foiled again! She's in league with the lions!
I have 15 fish left!
wow that grid took too long for such a small one. but i only used lickety for the last 4 words so there LOL
ty
Go Lady Go
clues anyone? promise not to mention a fleet of ships
lol
there's an e that's eluding me..
Oooops !! I lost the internet........Congrats to all the finishers!!
actually, it appears there are 2 e's eluding me
both Es are weird. you might need EL 4, add two letters that you say when you greet someone
other e is an announcer or host of a show
that worked
the other E is a recent word, based on a acronym, means the guy that hosts the show
gottem... ty BDG
8-D
I'm missing a F
think norse spelling for a F**** of Dreams
the weird F is FJ 5, rhymes with the M that is a word from gin rummy or Star Trek
I like that clue nDand Lia !!
(or flowers, daisies, buttercups, butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies.....
I've got **** and fortune, barbra streisand's ****ings...fe4 (reminds me of woman)... and fo4
fj???
hey, we didn't make these words up, they're in the dictionary! LOL
j is used for vowel sound just like y
hehe
i'mm starving and must stop to eat -- BBL
we use fjord lots
Bye gwen
my monkeys are not working
swap lady? Mine are on strike, perhaps they would do a change of owner
I'm game, granadan.
*hands over sulky monkeys*
you didn't mention they were sulky!
Give them extra hugs then look at the clue Dan gave at 11.51
Oh they are quite horrible. refuse to find the em5
firebirds!
nice clue... very nice clue... I don't get it
WTH Ata
use the magazine you listed; fjord is norse....
Yay for Ata! (Do your firebirds insist on singing Shostakovich?)
like MC Hammer. and thats giving it away ;)
em5 is the person who hosts the emmeees or grammeees or whatever.
only when very drunk
Fj and rhymes with spocks vulcan mind m***
LOL Ata and hi
TYTYTY! Lady
F**** & Stream, but norse
no way!! .. it worked.. spock's mind thing did it
And now she's teaching the firebirds to do their MC Hammer impressions. What next?
that was a great clue
LMAO - Told you, the monkeys are happier with new owners
ha i figured it out theres my flag
whiea
their highlight is a really good ABBA impression
wtg sadie
Its the firebirds dance Im wondering about..do they do it on hot coals??
That could be good. I'd like to see and hear that some day!
well im proud of me heh thanks LadyNatts
again, only when very drunk
SNAP Ata!!
and so you should be sadie!
Instead of drinking the alcohol, I'd pour it over the coals before dancing on them.
ok, i just got the twelve easy words
blows my mind sometimes how fast the chat goes
I'm still missing an L
LOL Vic
you want extra crispy feet, Vi?
Darn I hate it when the phone goes, return to the log and you have NO idea what people are talking 'bout
Is that a lion taunt, ata?
"extra crispy feet?" Isn't that the specialty of our local Chinese restaurant?
le4/5 and le4/7 are normal words Lady
firebirds, ABBA and dancing on hot coals
Hey, FM, if you have to leave the chat to get into that state, you're probably doing better than most.
one's in gasoline ; other on a tree
Oh and that makes it all clear thanks Ata
I have the tree word
the other one is also what superman couldnt see though
I was at the hospital a few days ago and a local cat wandered in. One of the consultants - who is a really lovely and funny Chinese guy - looks at it and yells "dinner!". Everyone burst out laughing
LOL Ata I like that !!
lol
lol Atalante
We regularly threaten to eat our cat. So far we've always concluded it wouldn't be worth the trouble.
fish me, please
it was a wonderfully funny moment in the midst of much angst at the clinic. It was a beautiful cat too. Apparently he visits regularly
for which im sure the cat is grateful lol
The whiskers could get stuck in your teeth Vic
10 left
Passing fish over to Lady..make sure the cat doesnt get it though
Too much chat and not enough work Lady!!
Well, we're saving her for the end of civilization. Then a few whiskers won't seem such a big price to pay.
I dont know Vic - properly stewed it might last a couple of good meals. Plenty of ginger and cumin...
your cat has at last got to have more meat on it than Sily!
Ata, you've been away ministering again, I take it? Are things stabilized again now?
lol.. that's funny. you know, I got my kids siamese fighting fish for a christmas present... one day, my daughter made a tuna sandwich to eat... the cat was all over her, and she told the cat "no! my fish!" .. so the cat went upstairs to her bedroom and ate the fish out of the bowl.
I am shocked at the lot of you
stabilised till Wednesday. Big op then!
Nooo how funny Lady
LOL Lady
lol LadyNatts,,,my cats favorite places in the house were the bird cage and the aquariums
little brat!!
Oh dear, Ata. Well, good luck for that! I hope everything goes smoothly.
My daughter was quite distraught, but I thought it was histerical.
afternoon all...can i have a clue for the single o pls?
o, I have the O
Your poor daughter in mourning, the cat licking its chops, and you just laughing! What a scene that must have been!
indeed vicuna... how could you help it?
Its like a lightbulb moment but with an o
Do you have no i--- what the o could possibly be?
ty gran
Hi rolin ..od4/5 ..od plus 2 vowels
oh good clue for life of me i couldnt think of something
when a lightbulb is used over a head in a cartoon, the character has an ****; sub o for 1st letter

ah, much delayed part of last clue I left; was working on my weekly jigsaw sudoku in the meantime phew, glad that's finished; now to await the samurai listing this evening. Addicted, you say, of course not.....
weeee playtime, hello xxx
I'll take a cuppa FM
surenD, back in a sec
PG OK with younD?
or I've got rose marzipan, if you want exotic
it does sound more like a cake decoration than a beverage tho
it really does
that's the pyramid one, right? our local teahouse manager gave me a few to try
its soooo yummy though
yes it is. Where in the world are you nD?
Virginia, but dad grew up in Glasgow; mom's first job was in Edunburgh [both born in gaeltacht in EI]
fingers, fingers, type nicely
ahhh so you're english really
Anyway teas up, help yourself to milk, sugar etc
thanks, much [was 19 this am, needed warming
guess that's about -6/7
It was -3 with heavy frost this morning here but warmed up to 12
it's been too erratic here; was in the 80s last week
Have you done the sister site iron sudoku nD?
no; just started here about 2 weeks ago; used to do games.com which becane atari, which got rid of boggle, then tangleword.......what's the diff
I do sudoku.org.uk & sudocue.net puzzles
Its online sudoku crated by the same guy who did this site.
Good evening all!
I'll give a look see; but I also home-school my daughter, & if I do anything else she'll roll her eyes ;) she's the one who actually found that site, they also do brit history for kids
hi drippy one
blame FM
you stole my line!! Hi Haz
'lo
My recommendation. If you have to drip, use Kleenex Balsam tissues. They're soft.
that was quite good FM, thks
no! get Kleenex Olbas tissues. bliss
I know *grins*
so long as you don't get mixed up with the wallpaper Haz
Oh, I haven't tried the Olbas ones. Will they take away the itchiness?
they are really nice. if you have a stuffy nose they work miracles
I think I now know how people with hay fever feel.
what they turn your nose into wine?
oooo! I wish1
I reckon I look like the before version of some miracle cures. I just want to feel like the after version!
but honestly, being serious for a sec *gasp*, if you have a stuffed up nose, do get the Olbas tissues. You are *wonderful*
You? LMAO
they!
ok, I'm half asleep. Or making Freudian slips. Or something
I will. And thank you for telling me I'm wonderful.
Hopefully that wont be for too long. and she is wonderful ;)
Olbas tissues going on the shopping list.
clue for the fj word please
but you are wonderful anyway :)
didn't know there was such a thing
Ah praise. there's many a surprise in babble.
have monkeyed all around it and can't seem to come up with the right combo
It's the same structure as Sally the actress or the area dreamt of by Kevin Costner.
ty haz--found it
That's good!
HAve you achieved nirvana with the grid Haz and what of the decorating?
The grid was a lot easier than the decorating! I've made a start this afternoon and hoping to speed up tomorrow.
great--we are under snow advisory tonight
what are you decorating, Haz? and do you like the springer in my pic? look in her eyes ........
If I look in her eyes I'll get hypnotised........ I'm decorating what used to be a study/spare bedroom and making it into a second lounge/study.
Oh dear, how much are they predicting praise?
they say we can get up to 6 inches
you will, you will, but its worth it
and I have to be at a meeting for work tonite
I did the painting last week, waited longer than expected for the wallpaper to arrive - it came on Saturday. New carpet is down, new furniture can come whenever the papering is finished.
Just what you don't need then praise
well hubby is treasurer so he has to be at meeting tonite too
so at least I can leave the driving to him
I guess if it gets too bad by tomorrow I will just stay home from work
and babble!!!!
yes that is what I will probably do
ooo wonderful! photos I hope on completion
LOL
You'll have to hope for a longer grid for tomorrow, in that case.
I am just really tired of snow and ice
fell on the ice a couple of weekends ago and messed up my knee
Haz, can you tell Ata that I am not talking to her.
I'll take photos - not sure whether they'll be wonderful, though. I'm always nervous to see what a finished scheme actually turns out like.
Ata, FM isn't talking to you.
Ata, do you have a message for FM?
Thank you *sits with back facing poopy person*
(I hope I'm not the poopy person - I'm the drippy one)
LOL
Grabs bin linder from the drawer and cuts head and arm holes to protect self from poopy and drippy babblers.
Dons umbrella hat at jaunty angle to complete the ensemble
I just hope no-one calls at FMitch's door tonight.
George says I look unique
Hello, is there anyone who could help me - I have opened a Flickr page but can't figure out how to transfer pics to my bio, can anyone help me please?
Ata where are you come out and help flosey
there's a tiock box in your profile, flosey
need to go and check laundry
be back in a few
Hello flosey. I'm both drippy and flickr unaware, so better hand you over to either FMitch or the poopy one.
yes, have checked that Ata
am I poopy?
hi Haz
Aha - scroll back, Atalante. Blame FM for the poopiness.
where the heck have you been for the last 5 mins?
have you put pics in your flickr page?
Ata, do you mean in My Account? or in my profile?
sorry, evil husband was talking at me
yes I have pics in flickr page
whats your flickr name?
have you put your flickr name in your profile?
flosey, same as here
oh, should I have changed it?
It happens, FM. Husbands do talk and expect you to listen.
lol Haz, it was ever thus
there's another bit in your profile where you need to put in your flickr name
Iknow, I remember it well Haz, allbeit a long time ago
So are you going to be friends with Ata again?
ah, flosey, you need to make the pics available to all
have you got them set to private?
(Hoping that counts another few points towards my Nobel Peace Prize. I sure won't get the one for physics)
Of course, *grabs Ata in a hug and knocks flosey photos all over the floor*
I don't see any place in my profile to enter - that little flickr box in profile now says flosey has signed up - tell flosey to add pics
Back shortly!
weren't we friends? do I hate you or something?
mitch, you naughty - now just pick up all those photos
I was have a dig as you managed to do sudoku but it was all wasted as you weren't here. and that is my come uppance for being silly
lol
Sorry Miss flosey
all forgiven mitch
haha serves you right :P
Hands box of photos back.
you need to make your photos public, flosey
Hello everyone, seems I walked into a family spat. Maybe someone can help clue the j word?
thanks Mitch
I have flickr page up now, don't see where to make photos public
Can I get some clues for the two DA words?
LOL Hi mich babble is one big family
I mean 1 DA and 1 DE I already have the DE4
when you put you pictures up, there was a tick thing saying "make available to friends only - friends, or family" I think you must have clicked that, cos I can't see any of your photos on flickr
je4 is spanish for boss aparently
I see that, mitch, but I have enough fighting in my house!
yes I did click friends only, or family
if you click on a photo, look down the list on the right and there is This photo is public / private (edit).. Click that if it doesn't say public
mistake?
ok
aha :) well flickr will only show pics on your biography if they are set to public.
da4/6 indian dish made with lentils
thanks so much
or author Roald
yes, it says only friends and family, should I undo that?
yep!
if you make them "public", they should appear in your flickr biography bit
ok, let's see if that worked
but I have to run adn have dinner. I'll be back in 20 mins
de 45 editing mark de46 like actress Moore, diff spelling
TTFN Ata
ok, thanks Ata, hey, don't get indigestion for hurrying
I knew she would be able to set you in the right direction flosey
Thaks for that too. I must have entered that 100 times (I think)...
but pics are not showing in my profile yet
perhaps refresh, will do now
TY Mitch and Dan.

Thanks eastern :-)
yw!
hello everybody!!!!
can someone give me an idea as to what the am words are?
ooh not many words to find, bet they are difficult
hi craw
clue for the me 5 please
sorry meant the ma 5 please
katie - choas & confusion
hi mlfan
oops...I don't have the ma 5 yet that was the me 5
first am4 is a slang for gramma, at leat around here...the other 2 look like they sound the same, bit different last vowel
just stopping in to say hi
ma5 is a film, with a different vowel in the xecond place
Eastern Blue!! have not seen you here in ages
hi peri! 8 D
hi peri! how are you?
I know...I've been super busy at work & with my 'new' puppy (and house!)
dani not getting your first clue i got the ones that are alike but different last vowel
EB, your new puppy is adorable
fine dan and you
hi pero
isn't he tho'!! he's already so much bigger than in the picture - he's almost 5 months now!
I just saw on TV that a bride died on her wedding day :( She died in her husband's arms during their first dance as a married couple, so sad
what did she die of peri?
dani?
apparently heart disease, according to the story
she was 36
i'm fine too peri...darth had his clarinet contest on Saturday...got a "superior" on his quintet and solo w/accompianist. Solo jusge said he was grading him at high school level, because if he graded him at middle school level, he would have nothing to critique
peri ughi had a friend die last year of the same and aorund the same age
great dan
am4 the first is like what you say when you figure it out, ah-**, but with the last 2 letters reversed and an m in the second place
need to check e-mail
EB so glad I got to see you, hope to see you again soon
muses video is interesting...never kittens were so existential!
that sounds like the ah word dani
peri - I hope so too!!
okay, byee for now
it's the am word mlf...am**
i got it never mind
the dictionary definition is "a wet nurse, esp. in India"...it sounds like spanish for gramma
just missing the ma 5 now, any clues please
anyone else need a clue before i go back to work?
katie means chaos but with a vowel not the sometiems vowel
dan, dan, over here dan!!
ma5...think go the a FILM, but with a different vowel in the 2nd spot
thanks dan!
Thanks dan got it ;-)
(there you go katie...how have you been? haven't seen you in a while...
Fireworks :-)
dani can you clue the da word please
yea katie!!
its a 4
gj katie
yeah katie!
(go to the a? i meant go to A)
Thinks are going well dan, getting a bit stressy with the wedding etc but sure it will all be fine :-)
got it never mind
da4 is the last name of the author of "James and the Giant Peach"
While that was a very nice book, I don't think it should merit being included in the dictionary
de 5 please?
hoping for a big grid for the next two days as I am having a tooth out tomorrow morning so will be at home for a couple of days. comfy sofa, wireless laptop and sky tv, I'm looking on the bright side of it all :-)
weddings are like that...lots of stress to plan (for the bride anyway), then you get to worry about all the little thing that can go wrong, then the wedding itself is great!
the actual definition is an Indian stew made with lentils, onions, and spices, but i don't think anyone ever clued it as that
there is no de5 mlf...did you mean de4/5 or de4/6?
thanks dan, it will be fine I know, can't believe I'm letting it get to me. it's probably better known over here as the indian dish so I'm surprised no brit ever clued it that way
I had some at the grocery store the other day, except it was spelled with only three letters
i never even heard of it before babble...i really need to go out more!
de 4/6 lets try that lol
yum...it's making me hungry!
My grocery store has started a hot food bar, and every so often they have Indian food...
I'm just waiting for someone to start marketing Linda Lou's Vindaloo
de4/6 is de + not you
ty dan
yw mlf
The o word in the corner is coming to an ancient theater near you...

no dan not sports related
nite katie
g'nite katie
Hi, everybody - I found most of my words early this a.m. but am coming back for the last TWO - can I have a clue for the ma 6/27, please?

Yea orange!!!

nope - i wanna pizza
very strange puzzle this one. take care all.
not in the grid in the chat danf
maybe it's gone
might be, no one fed it
hi Blue...do you have a clue for the am 4/6?
you can have the too saucy insides...here *pushes half chewed pizza across the chog*
am+2 vowels
i know jean
smack slurp dunk
anyone checked out the babblecast page since i purtied it up?
Krista - 2 are very similar (with vowels)...the other is an Indian nurse...
i have the others, it
Chinese nurse, blue! I had one.
oh....
oops!
it's the am 6..is that the Indian nurse? (not that I know the foreign word except in German...)
The indian one's second letter is a sometime vowel
my connection went down, i almost missed seeing the fact that we suck! *shakes nuts hand* we did it!
Krista, the Chinese (not Indian) nurse is the am4/6
looks purdy nutter
wow, really confused..the second letter is 'm"....
spanks renneer
thanks for trying to help me..back to monkeying :)
yes well, one of us has to be on the ball hursh
am + **-ha (exclamation of "There's the stupid word!)
Krista, the Chinese (not Indian) nurse'e second letter is M
Krista - am + the first part of a sneeze _ _CHOO!
Sorry to confuse you, Krista but I was talking to EasternBlue when I said what I did about the second letter
got it, ty :) (have i ever mentioned how hard the 4-letter words are for me?!)
cause you don;t wash your ears krista
here we've all been, sitting purposely resisting the utter fascination of pokemon's siren song, just so that some day someone could come along and congratulate us on achieving suckiness by our resistance to temptation. and it's finally happened! the pinnacle has been reached!
Oh, I see Jili. I am dense with clues anyway.
brb -- Cat wants food, and dryer wants emptying
why - becasue i am just now this very day voting? -
what ren?
i personally won't come down off this high for weeks, i dunno about you folks.
and then we shall have to come up with some new goal of suckiness to reach for.
we vote tomorrow...even Edwards is having trouble deciding whom to back, I just heard
hursh, by a pokemon god no less
i know, we are soooo blessed
voting for babblecast
lol
i'm talking about "real" voting :)~
edwards can't decide whether to vote for babblecast or some other podcast
oh, good girl ren, your the very bestest
edwards needs to endorse gravel
he has nothing better to do now, he may as well vote for Babblecast
when on kung foo gobdess meets a somekinda take a poke at a man...there is no contest - the gob wins
krista, there is nothing MORE real than voting for babblecast
nothing better to do? what about grooming his lovely locks?
is he the one who paid 400 bucks for a haircut?
he pays big bucks for others to do that
ah, now everyone has to be weird in one way or another
yes but he has to BE there while they do it
ok, what's this fj word?
i wonder how much cameron diaz pays for a haircut
just think nut, if you were an fj word, where would you go next, if ORD wasn't available?
but he could listen to the Babblecast while someone else does it..and let me just say, his hair wasn't looking 400 bucks worth of good
you're asking me?
what i mean is, i think it's sort of the first thing one would guess. at least, it was the first thing i guessed.
i've guessed loads of things already
oh. there goes my theory then.
my sisters are younger than me. i am ***.
spanks
spanks?
yeah, like spank you for the clue

Hello, can someone give me a clue for the O word?

Doggy people call it The Garden

congrats
he doesn't "get" teenagers
thanks mama
hi red...at least your drug of choice is an antihistamine :)
example?
congrats BGL
LOL krista! I was I suppose tired and overreacting to a ton of silliness!
and thinks yelling and swearing at them is the way to communicate. It bothers me. (and yes, I've told him it bothers me)
he says they're lazy (what teenager isn't?)
should have hit this grid before the drugs......
that is unfortunate. would he and they and you be willing to do some family counseling?
We all do that at times....Mama has stronger drugs for you for next time. :)
been there
I took it at about 10 am Mama, but have been asleep since, now awake and very groggy...
Natts -- do you get the comic strip "Zits"? Today's was very pertinent!
hello all, was just seeing if flosey was around, but I guess not.
hi stid
I'll have to check that out, Jilli
was this grid like the totally fastest one ever??? *slowly turning into valley girl*
Nice flag stid.
Me too, mama ..
I meant me, red...
thanks red!
and Jilli and saphyre...
not for me, stid....
hey jill, thanks for alerting me to today's Zits... LOL I nearly bust my side out giggling!
i, um, have some news
It was tubular, Stid.
hello tor! *bright smile and hands him some chocolate amaretto cordials*
Ahhh!!! mama, I get it now, I was a complete wreck, so I am now better with benadrul...and I still have 23 words left.
still have 6 to go here - maybe I need coffee first - my drug of choice :)
like, totally, krista!
what is it, hurshy?
**EYES WIDE** Hurshy...
hurshy has news??? *waiting*
his stid -- glad you got it!
go saphyre go!

it looks like my husband and i are going to get back together, in a few months or so
news???? spill
oh wow!
WOW hurshy! that is BIG NEWS!!!!
whoopee, back to CT for HUrshy
Sounds like good news Hursh!
and better than my brain was imagining, with all the snow and ice you folks are having back there..
Interesting ..
glad to hear it hursh
hope that's a good thing, hursh - happy for you....
not necessarily inge :) we'll both be moving. he's planning to go to grad school. so, well, it might be connecticut, if he picks yale. that's the one place he has heard from so far.
that sounds great, hurshy
I hope you will be all Peaches and Herb in no time, Hursh.
it will take work and counseling and stuff, but i am cautiously optimistic.
oh oh... forgot to take the tea bag out of the pot. I may finish the NEXT grid in record time, too.
brb
lol stid
hi everyone, clue for the ma6, please?

I'm distracted by the Westminster Dog Show -- will only get to see a bit of today's show -- gotta leave for bridge. But tomorrow is when the Working Group will be judged (Danes are in it)
hey dan! hi saphy!
m + alternate spelling of maritime branch of military
thought I might sneak a few in before I had to leave again... not so. Gotta go visit my bro in hospital ... will be back later.

em 5: guy who runs the show
saph -- master of ceremonies
bye Lady..holding you all in my thoughts
I am supposed to be calling J. this evening when I wake up but honestly, it has been such a long and bad day, I really think I want to wait until tomorro, is there any harm in that...since I spoke with him briefly at 3, when he woke me to tell me spy kid was alright...
...such beautiful dogs...Hound group just now...gorgeous Borzoi...
good luck LadyN - will be praying for you
I am back
YAY LBD!!!! ***many happy hugs***
me too. what's the scoop hursh? what's been happening?
Congrats LBD and welcome back stid, I did not know you were gone!
((((LadyN)))) just read back. you're in our heartws
hey feathery!
fireworks
Did you ever read The Rules, Red? It reads on the surface like a lot of game-playing, but, well, it IS a game. Don't call. ;)
Hi FeatherB.
YAY saph!!!
Jilli, you have won me over. *MOving into living room to watch dog show* BBL
Thanks Krista, I figure if I am still dealing with the remnants of my bad mood, and I am having a Benadryl hangover, I don't feel like chatting...
red, I think if you had a rotten day then an email explaining that you just can't call tonight would be more than enough (assuming you want to call but just aren't up to it?)
later inge! (bis spater)
My turn to scrub dirty child. He's into Naruto and draws "curse marks" all over himself with my eyeliner!
oh good, inge -- it's on the USA network in the States
oh man, Krista! what a perfect kid thing... mine used PERMANENT markers. *sigh* those were the days!
lol
what's naruto?
Have fun with that Krista..
**I give you permission to act like a man and not call** Red. :)
Never call when you feel crappy ..Better to wait a day or so ..
my 2nd one, Alyssa, signed her name to her "artwork" and then blamed her sisters
Thanks Stid...I just don't feel like talking, he was the main reason for the horrid mood, and so that would be hard to explain, since he didnt DO anything...
who is j?
It's a Japanese cartoon on Cartoon Network (which goes right over my 40-year old head)
hi ren
hehe, the conversation would be a typical "what's wrong?"....."nothing" one then?
hewy saph
hello ren!
permanent marker! yikes..i won't complain about the eyeliner, then!
so j is a japanese cartoon you're not going to call?
hey stid
then I think you are wise NOT to call tonight red, and be okay with your decision. (((hugs)))
LOL ren .
that's hilarious, Saphyre!
lol
J is http://marathonman.vox.com/
oh, feather, well, we've stayed on good terms, and i've been thinking things over for a while, and, well, i think it's worth trying to salvage
I don't think ren has had enough rum yet tonight... *hands flask over to pirate pal*
and he has been a very big jerk to me and then suddenly decided to stop being a jerk, and I am having a hard time with it...
that's great then! how do you feel about the decision?
then, hurshy, give it your best shot and you won't have to wonder years from now if things "could have" been different.
*glug...glug...glug - thanks me beauty stid
Hurshy, I hope it works like you want it too!!!
sigh, brb, daniel has to go potty. stalling techniques.
wow chat is flying by! Hi stiddy! hi Rennie, hi everyone who popped in whilst i was...i don't know what i was doing but all of a sudden there were miles of chat to read!
Yay Potty!
must do something about an early supper (bridge night) -- and get the next icon -- theme is Your Local Flowers, suggested by Inge
the decision and plans are not completely finalized. but i think it will be official in a week or two. but we won't be actually getting back together for a few months yet.
bye everyone..bye Katiebell ;)
gtg bbl ..
and i feel cautiously optimistic.
Oh my, do I have local flowers...I think its a cacti. :(
ok torg
By torgone thanks for the calling advice.
does that mean I have to put you down now, tor?
my flowers right now are just only beginning to think about cvolor.
bye torg
red -- what is your icon?
or color...
bye torgone! don't be a stranger!
bye torg
that is the flag of New mexico, the land of enchantment...on a background of an outline of NM the state...
except... *thoughtful look* there are three croci by the front door that are already yellow. Not open, but yellow.
bye torgone, sorry you're gone
ah, clever, red!
i have a field of muck, slush and partially melted snow
Jilli, I can't take credit, I already had the icon.
Dawg, I have the same field!!!
yep sounds typical of late winter, LBD!
stid, I have a double primula trying hard to open its lilac flowers
red, and the weather liars are predicting some ice coming your way
woo hoo firewords. da4.5 willy wonka author was my last. Thanks all cluers
very nice, Jill!
Oddly after all that, now I want to talk to J. Good gracious what is wrong with me.
weather liars - how true
whooooo hooooo DAN!
Oh crud, Dawg. It felt like it this evening.
it's the middle of february! how can you have croci coming up already?
Yay Dan2 bit!!!!
you be fickled red..or is it pickled?
red, I think you are tired and feeling yucky.
YAY Dan!
Feather if I was home, I'd have daffodils.
and hursh, is he going to come to your area now?
Ren, I be stupid.
YAY dan!!!
red, i think you need to make yourself a cuppa and just chat with us for a bit. J can wait til you feel better.
congrats Dan
well, I live at the southern end of Puget Sound. It's the same climate (most of the year) as around San Francisco
Its the time zone, Dawg, he's 2 hours behind me, in a warm place.
Oh no stid, I thought it was china!!!!
Stid lives in a temperate zone.
ohhh. here i was thinking you were more northern, thus colder and snowier.
we are both going to move. he's been applying to grad school. he's been accepted at yale so far, and is waiting to hear from the others. yale's my first choise, even though i feel like harvard ought to be, but of course he wants to visit and meet the people before deciding (assuming he gets in more places).
I'm jealous - so tired of winter even though it has been a mild one so far - just dreary
so, feather, I can grow some things that are sort of like tropical -- things that grow in and around Los Angeles even, if I put them in the right spot and shelter them on the few days that dip below freezing.
but he could wait until 7 pm, which is 9 his time. I think...
my flag flies a little north of stid
oh that's very cool hursh!
I miss the beautiful colors of the east coast though, and sugar maples (for example) don't really do their "thing" here.
we have a big storm coming in. less than 24 hours away, and the forecasters still aren't sure what it will do.
I miss warm. Desperately.
doug just got back from gassing up my van. was too cold for my wee little pitties to be pumping gas.
is it coming to me after it hits you feather?
coffee is done - anyone want a cup?:)
LOL feather! you are SOOOO spoiled! *polishes feathers tiara*
i love new mexico! well, the western side. the eastern side is kinda...open.
not sure hursh, i haven't seen any "live" satellite feeds of the track. just been reading weather.com
*holds out mug* sure! thanks!
*goes to check weather gofrcast for this area* yes Hursh, I would LOVE one.
this is a great video.
is that the weasle coffee ? .. no thx
PVGB being shown -- we called them Heebie-Jeebies
whoooo hooooo STIDDY
feather, if it's anything like the weather I have been hearing about... do you know where your candles are? extra blankies? canned food?
i'm gonna assume red means saph and the coffee
oh -- I finished last night LBD, but only just watched the video
well, whooo hoooo anyway, Stid
yep, got them all. i don't think we'll lose power though. (famous last words)
Holy Cow, dawg, there is a special weather advisory out there for Weds. SOrt of spooky these storms.
passes out coffee - nutter butter cookie anyone?
hurshy, I vote for a school out my way. *points to mentions of mild climate* and did I tell you about the really cool beaches?
Ma Nature is having severe La Nina!
sorry stid, i'm pretty attached to new england and my family :)
no, she hasn't had her bath yet, i think she'd taste kind of icky saph
Hello everyone. Although there was frost last night and again tonight, the day was sunny. In my garden, the mini narcissi and irises are in flower, along with lovely, pale yellow primroses, winter jasmine and mahonia. When I looked out of my kitchen window yesterday afternoon I saw a bee working the yellow flowers of the winter jasmine.
Well...I suppose I might ought to invest in a set of chains for the car, I just hate putting them on.
I wonder if I should think about starting supper or just wait for Tom to get home with the kid? the younger kid is with friends until close to bedtime, so he's taken care of.
hello Jac!
i miss boston - i''d go back to boston
I would so love a sunny day or two
sigh, still in the dead of winter here
I miss warm, anywhere warm.
Oh jac, I'm so envious!!!
that's why i feel like i ought to prefer harvard, because my family is more centered around boston - but - i need grass...
sounds wonderful Jac
lol, jac, i think you just depressed half the chog!
Oh course it was 45 here today, Sooo, this a bit spoiled of me.
we got grass here, hurshy! and TREES. lots of trees. everything is green. *scrapes moss off forehead*
gorgeous Saluki...
I love spring flowers. I used to love springtime, until our 'hunter cat' joined us. Now I dread it because I know he'll be killing nestlings.:(
Jac, your yard always sounds so lovely to me.
we had wind chills of -15 here. we had to have the kids drag their coats with them everywhere, "just in case" there was a fire drill or anything at all.
you can buy grass almost anywhere
Sorry feather!
A saluki is a dog, right? finnish?
yes stid but you also have 3000 miles between you and my family!
oh feather, *shivering* poor kiddos. But smart move to be ready...
African royalty, stid
that's ok, our turn is coming in a few months jac
:)
stid - I've spend 27 years making it a wildlife AND a pretty and productive garden (yard).
Salukis are beautiful I always wanted one, but they need more running than even I can do.
well if it was MY family... LOL
really??? *runs off to look it up*
i piled them all in our lunch wagon, and we just dragged it around to recess and music class
anyway he didn't apply to west coast schools. only U of Chicago is non-east-cost
what's he going to major in?
i love these small grids! even if they are harder i prefer them! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
he would be getting a PhD in comparative literature
they are gorgeous. kinda look like elkhounds
stid, the Westminster dog show is on the USA network right now (OLN in Canada)
ick. chicago is COLD and WINDY (so says my father in law who called today)...
that sounds like fun
I don't think we get that network Jill.
Salukis look NOTHING like elkhounds!
I will look though.
yes, but chicago is where HIS mom lives.
oh. then at least he (and you) know what you would be getting yourselves into.
anyone have a clue to fj word? i can only think fjord!
I'll have to put some pics of my garden in my flickr. 'Official' link to Babble still isn't working so anyone who wants to see (not tonight) will have to get the link from my bio.
I said "kinda" tall, skinny... kinda tan colored.
Hursh, I think Chicago is more "Known" for its english programs than even Yale...
hursh has a clue for the fj
the FJ is STOOPID. FJ + last three letter's of ship's steering station
MKG -- fj + ***erhostel
they are all good programs...
oops. use Jill's clue... my clue has wrong last letter
which clue do you mean, red, the one where i say to imagine that you are an fj word?
huh???????? yale is reknown but what about columbia? they have this fab freshman class that combines eng lit, hist and it is reknown!
mkg - fj + 'don't cheek your ***ers!' (as said to a young person). It's a Scandinavian plateau.
ty jilli. got it.
he applied to harvard, yale, columbia, princeton, and chicago.
It's Grad programs mkg, that is an entirely different ball of wax.
and brown, but only bc it's in rhode island. it's not as good.
*brags* i monkeyed the fj all on my own
My puppy just pulled the blanket off the bed and wrapped herself in it - she is just too cute so she gets away with it
my eyes are crossing. I think I'll go play with the TV and try to find the right channel. See you-all later
'Bye, stid.
bye stid
bye stid
Go Feather!!! Monkey Mania.
later stid
well yale is not reknown for grad except architecture, law and art. even their med school is mediocre.
red, he will do great at any of these places for sure.
the longhaired dachsie has sickle hocks
It's Hursh's Husband, not any relation to me.
please clue the ma5/18 and the ah5
wh 7 anyone????????
and For Hursh's sake, i hope he decides to stay in new England. :)
You sew with a n***** and thread. Change the first letters
ok stephie: ma: think if there was a Y in the grid and substitute another vowel for synonym for chaos.
the judge liked the dachsie though
time to go finish the laundry - see everyone tomorrow
mkg - wh7 is what a child does to get something out of you or what someone does to worm something out of you.
doxy will like that choice jilli
oh, well, he will. i mean, i think what will happen is he will visit programs and find that he likes aspects of all of them, and so then, he will pick yale bc that is what i want.
Now I'm going!!! (The big Beagle was first though)
ma: the ocean has up and down things that rock you. they are wa**s, so you can also wa*** with your hands. put m not w in front.
'Night, jilli.
then again, he's still waiting to hear from the other schools. if he doesn't get into any more, then yale it is! lol
jac, i am tough so hard to do this with me. must t hink......
later jilli bilie
there ya go Hursh!
ty got it jacula.
See you all after the flip -- well, maybe not ALL of you, lol!
y/w, mkg.
jilli, great dogs!!
*thinks to call or now to call* and feels like a tupid teenager again...
still not getting it - the first ma clue you gave, was it for the ma6? Is the ma5 similar?
howdy
why can;t he call you red?
Hi, nutty!
hee dee ho ho ho nutter
i thought we all agreed, don't call
He did call me, at 3 to tell me Spy kid (who he took to emergency Vet on Sat.) is ok, and woke me up so he told me to call him when I got up...
ohhhhhhhhhhh sorry stephie. i clued wrong! oh my, it is wa 5 word that is what you do with your hand! i am so sorry! i dont have second ma word! but first one is chaos. ma+ vowel, then green eggs and ***.
howdy hoodee ha ha
but I think after I finish my last 15 I am going back to sleep until flippity time...
I need the ma5 and ah5 please
whoodee hey do haw
{{{{{{{NUT}}}}}}}
but the important thing is that spy is fine...just tore his dew cla a little.
zippity do dah
sorry stephie i need that one also. trying. have the ah one: will clue it
stephie - the 2nd ma word is like what you do with your hand in greeting but put a personal pronoun in the penutlimate position (and change first letter to 'm' of course).
It's a pirate reunion!!!
ma 5?
ah5 = what the front runner is.
ah: the h is beginning of the h 4 word that is what sits on top of your neck!
Just clued it, mamabear.
Anyway, I decided to apply for Florida Reciprocity for my Nursing licence today anyway...
thanks!! Fireworks for me!
Well done, stephie.
yeah stephie!
i still cant get the ma 5.
pirate schmirate
Yaaay StephicC!
me neither, mkg
i'm the only true pirate here
Have you heard of the Irish writer, Ms. Binchy? ma5 is what her friends might call her as a pet name.
should i know the E in the second row down, second column from the right? or is it a monkey word?
ma 5 kinda sounds like a pale purple
ma + a man wears a t** around his neck. Change the t to another consonant
in your dreams nutter
i think hubbynut is hopped up on something
Only true pirate?? *Shoves nut off the gangplank.*
got it now... thanks!
i have one to go a 4 and i refuse to get a clue! i will do thhis on my own!
what's up with hubbynut, nut?
well, he's talking to the tv, so i think he's drugged
men will occasionally do this...nut, even if they never did it before.
mezzie's singing w/ the ipod
LOL..... everybody does that, nut!! especially men
Nut - (pulls Nut up out of the water by the scruff of her neck) - I talk to the TV all the time!
no no no, i'm sure its the mj wannabe drug
Ren - glad I can't hear him. LOL
i do too - what's wrong w/ talking to the tv?
i think the world can hear him! he's listening to tom petty
one more blinkin' word
Dunno, ren. I love shouting at idiots on quiz shows.
fireworks all.
go mama, go
Congrats mkg!
(I'd probably be an idiot on a TV quiz show as my brain would go blank when the cameras got on me.):(
he's listening to bill maher
Well done, mkg.
ty ty ty did you finish red?
yayayya mkg
ty jac, needed your clues though! ty ren
firewords!
yayayayay mama!
I sometimes talk to my PC monitor. I don't always type what I've actually said on here. LOL
Well done, mamabear.
is the J word a ja or je?
i think we all do that mistress...:)
wtg mama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lets do this again some time!
je!
not yet, mkg, I have been distracted by last fm, thinking about J. and blech.
but I will in a mointue or two.
je, feather. Think of actor Goldblaum (The Fly/Jurassic Park).
not really jac, took way too long.... but whatever
ty mkg
got it jac, ty!
y/w, feather.
ok, my last zero box is the E in the second row, second column from the right. should i know it?
In case anyone should be wondering why my icon is of a woman vacuuming... I did have a mug with the UK Union flag on it earlier but I put the 'hoover' up for Lori, who hates housework and thought she might have to do some as the grid was so small.
Cute Jacs!!!
my hand don't fit no vacuum cleaner
Elementary High school word, feather.
hi all
Ren - push it around with your butt then! *grins*
hey ya carlee
ahh, ty again jac
Hello, carlee.
maybe i could ride it like a skate board
hi ren...jecs..feather
y/w, feather.
hey carlee
so I have 22 to go...do I bother?
Sure Carlee, its only 22..
what about the third col. e pls.
yep, i'm down to 10. it's not bad. i've only pestered the chat a couple times so far.
22..or gilmore girls...22 or gilmore girls?
Ren - that would be a fun option. Or, you could get one of those robot ones that meanders around on its own. (Dunno what it does if it encounters obstacles.)
found it
hello, could someone tell me the stats for the j word?
my cats would attack and destroy a robo vac
This is a 30-minute maximum grid. You'll do 22 more easily, carlee.
je4/12 harp
harp - Hello. je4/12.
robo vac would petrify my cats
Ok, I still dont get the ma 5...
Normal vac petrifies my cat.
sleezy meezie would attack, destroy, and most probably eat robo vac
red - try this for ma5 - ma + *** to battle for position in the rankings/to compete.
Oooh Jac ty ty ty...
Thank Gawd you got it, red.
My dog would have to "kill" a robo vac...
i wanna riding vacuum
Me, I just want a good old fashioned maid.
Nut - unless your house is huge, that's not really an option. LOL
i have he6 and ma6, what are the first two letters of hte one i'm missing please?
Me, too, red. But they cost too much these days.
I want a young French maid ..
he6 again feather.
I suppose.
No french maid.
ok
I actually like to clean, but I dont always feel like it after working.
bingo got it
Torg! Trust you to speak up at this point. *grins*
down to 3
Miss me?
Torg - you were used as a clue yesterday.
Torgone, we always miss youwhen you are gone...
We miss you, Torg., but that doesn't mean we're going to greet your homecoming all in 'fancy' costumes.
Oooh, puts away french maid feather duster, since jacs says its not needed...
Nothing fancy necessary .. In fact the simpler the better ..
Red - you... hussy, you!
I've got my Hilda Ogden gear on (see icon pic). *grins*
Oh yes, thats me, in fact, I often dress in a nurses outfit..3-4 days a week 12 hours at a time...
Fortunately the nurse outfit now consist of pajama looking things.
Red - so you do! LOL
BRB, must go get dog.
last 2, and don't want to get the list. can i pester for some narrowing down?
I was watching an episode of a hospital programme on TV the other day where a woman wearing a rubber nurse's outfit (the outfit was rubber, not the outfit belonging to a nurse made of rubber) was brought in. The hospital nurses were all uppity about it at first. Changed their minds later and decided to buy some for themselves.
Okay, feather. Ask away... not much spare time for you with a yong baby.
Or even a young baby.
they're both in bed, and i'm heading there next! thank you though. ok, i'm missing a W and an H. are there more than 3 wa?
I do wish Dr_G would give us an edit/delete facility!
duh, ignore that.
are there more than 4 wh?
5 wh.
ok....the ma6 so I can go watch gilmore with my daughter?
i looked at the placement of the Ws and realized that no, there can't be more than 3 wa.
ok, thought maybe that's what i was missing.
wh4/9 - sound you make when going down a slide, maybe.
a rubber nurse suit. Hmm, it could have potential for the messy days.
wh7 - the worming things out of you word.
wh5 - a car has 4 of them.
watch it be the last one
have all those
wh rhymes with lewis carrol characters tw***** dee and dum.
arrggghh now he's moved onto the alman brothers
wh5/22 - if you are totally taken aback by something, you might be overwh***ed.
has not
ma6 anyone?
that was it!
ok, last one is an H4, going to monkey a bit.
wh4 (final wh word) - you might do something on a wh4. (Without any forethought.)
2 left ..
feather - I guessed it'd be that one.
HELLLOOOOOOO anyone?????? ma6??? for the 3rd time to ask????
Oh heavens I just checked I have 5 left, they are all ha words! how odd.
carlee - the ma6 is a weird spelling of a ma6 word for total chaos. (Normally has a 'y' in 3rd place.)
thanks jacs..that did it for me
red - those ha words would be the Scottish ones, I guess.
y/w, carlee.
i was begining to thin kI was completely invisible..but thank you.... and my daughter thanks u as she drags my arm out of my socket
done. that last one was perfectly ordinary.
Cheers Torg on for his last 2.
nite all
Ityped in my last word on a wh4/10 ..
Well done, feather.
'Night, carlee.
<POMPOMT OSS> for faeather
Well done, Torg.
Thank yew!
*Puts some arnica cream in the PB, ready for Carlee's bruised arm when she returns.*
Hello everyone!
hi scrabs
I've been using arnica cream on my toe, which is helping the bad bruise, but not the break.
Hi, Scrabbs.
Congrats Torgone! Great to see you again.
COngrats Torgone. Helo Scrabbler, how is the weather?
Jacula--you broke your toe?
Scrabbs - did you notice he entered the chat at one of his pertinent points again? LOL
10 degrees F and snowing--my driveway got plowed out again today.
gee = i missed torg's wh 4
Scrabbs - Seems so. I stubbed it on a cast iron scarab beetle.
I think Scrabbler you are going to break very even on the flat fee plowing.
hiv e
It's badly bruised, Scrabbs, but also broken methinks. I say this from 2 previous toe break experiences.
Damn cast iron scarab beetles---always getting in the way aren't they?
lore! PB!!!
hello everyone hows the kids scrabbler
Yes, RTH, I am going to count up my plow list.
hi 5 to you too lore
howdy ren
Indeed they are, Scrabbs! Well my boot remover one I use as a kitchen doorstop is!
hey red
The bunnies are devouring salads. The special treat = red dandelion leaves. Yummy!
And indeed, fireworks.
12 words remain from after this AM's start.
yay red well done
yayayy red!!!
Yahooo RTH!
Whoo Hoo, will be going Florida Job shopping in a moment. Thanks for the help all.
The trouble with any kind of dandelion le4, Scrabbs, is that it's a diuretic. But both bunnies and guinea pigs do love them.
Well done, red.
kiwis call dandelion puha scrabbler fav for my bunnies too
The only fj word I know is fjord. Help please for fj5?
now he's singing w/ david bowie
g'night mcpeople
Bye Nut
goodnight eva
niter mcpirate
fj + someone older than you is your ***er and better, or so they might think.
TY, Jacula. How about em5? No emeer or emend.
Ren - I'll sing Bowie with him, unless it's the track 'Five Years' which can sound kind of mad.
Scrabbs - it's the Master of Cermonies other name.
*ceremonies
great clue Jac... thanks
'Night, nut.
Hi, All
y/w, hackerty.
Hi, pam.
TY, Jacula! Hi Pam!
hey Pam... Greetings
Hi, jac!
hello pam
hi, scrabs...
hey pam
ren! lore!, hack!!!!
Scrabs--did you see that play in yesterday's game?
I forgot that the game was on so I was here goofing off. But I saw pics on the web and our morning paper had lots of pics. Richard was in good hands--I know the 2 docs that attended to him at the arena.
pam- is that Babble, football or baseball?
LOL, hockey, jac. A player had his carotid artery severed by a skate
You know the docs? Cool!
Oh, Jeez! OUCH!
He seemed very strong, and quick-thinking...
Did he survive?
that is awful! My BF should have been there... he repairs stab wounds and gun shots everyday!
yes, he is in stable condition.
That must've been one hell of a swing the other player took.
The internist trained with me during residency--he is dual board certified in internal med-pediatrics.
Glad to hear the other player has survived.
I heard he was feeling a bit "pucky"
seriously
I'm not sure whether to laugh or not, ruru.
It was an accident, by his own teammate.
The injury was terrifying--it could have severed his trachea--->blood into airway---> even worse.
Don't you mean puckish, ruru? LOL
Bet it will be a while before he shaves...
I read that it barely missed his jugular
that is scary though
It was unbelievable, scrabs...
what team was this?
Well, Scrabbs - even 'simple' severing of the carotid artery is damned serious, as you know.
The Remington Razors
panthers..
Florida Panthers
sorry feeling a bit silly today
He might shave his face but not his neck for quite a while, I imagine.
I agree, ruru-very scary...
I bet he won't be able to get near a razor.. I wouldn't
I am going to ask John about that! I have no idea what a carotid artery is.... that just sounds so painful
brings blood to the brain, hack...
It is the main blood flow artery to the brain
hey, peeps
oh my god... so awful!
President Bush's has been somewhat restricted lately
Hello, tyger.
which leads me to wonder whether my own is fully functioinal...
constricted?
LOLOL, ruru
hi, tyger!
hey tyger
my may be faulty too.... I am always light headed
it may be my lack of food!
hey, jac how's things by you?
hey, jac how's things by you?
and pam :)
8-)
thought I'd check in to see if a cluer was needed :)
well thats it for me quickest grid ever got to go do chores see everyone at flip ciao
I was recently sent a pic of President Bush making a speech. There was a banner behind him with the word 'COUNT' on it. He was standing in front of the 'O'.:)
LMAO
ciao, lore...
LOLOLOLOLOL, jac....
I'm fine, thanks, Tyger. An you?
Uh, why do I always pop in after a comment like that?! God one Jac
good one
okay, thx
clue for ah5?
That is interesting because he recently saw a proctologist to help him remove his head
Made me laugh. (The pic.):D
hi everyone..been gone all day..trying to find the last 20 i didnt get at the flip lol :)
doxy - ah5 is what the front runner is.
i really do not like Bush at all! I think Laura is a doll though! how could she have stayed married to that man for that long!!! Must the $$$
thanks jac
Laura is pretty classy.. how could she be married to such a doofus though...
hackerty - there seems to be some weird thing about certain women being attracted to men 'with power'.
that is what I think too
but he was a doofus in college!!
Hey Jac... i think its $$
I heard that they are planning the George Bush Presidential Library.. it already has two copies of "Cat in the Hat"
by his own account, as well as that of others
Hey now... don't insult the Suess!
ruru - would that include spelling books, too? What word was it he tried to tell a far more intelligent child how to spell?
a doofus who was his dad's legacy...
My thoughts entirely, pam.
I don't remember ... it was hysterical though
his Dad was not all that great either...
I think his library should have a copy of the bill of rights, with them all marked as to his blatant disregard for them
You do have to hand it to him.. though.. he got his Mom on the $1.00 BILL...
he puked on the Japanese president
RIGHT ON! PAMMO!
hahah
hi all - popping in to see if anyone needs any clues
We've got a programme on TV, though I admit I've not yet watched it, called 'Are You Smarter Than A 10-year-old?' I think Mr. Bush jnr. should go on the celebrity version of that.
LOL
was the spelling Quayle and "potato?"
ooooh, are we Bush-bashing? Count me IN!!
hey, green! just what I did, about 10 minutes ago :D but with jac here, we're probably both redundant :)
hi, asg
We have a version of that show called "are you smarted then a fifth grader"
Jac - we've got "are you smarter than a 5th grader"
hi Pam and Tyger
I have never watched it... but my bosses neighbor is Jeff Foxworthy when he is here in Atlanta
asgreen - that's the same thing, I think.
I was watching his recent speech and had to pinch myself that we had a leader of this country be so GD dumb
I just took the Dr. Oz "Real Age" quiz.....patiently awaiting my results.....
Every time he opens his mouth, I think "only Jed is stupider."
Every time he opens his mouth, I think "only Jed is stupider."
you said it ruru... and what a mess we are in!!
fj help please?
ROFL PAM... LOLOLOL
lol Pam - scarier too.... so, an acquaintance of mine had Jed over for Thanksgiving this year - I couldn't imagine even wanting to be there! She was so excited - I was shocked!!
It is a norweigian playing f****
fj - sounds like "felled"
I really, really don't respect them...
I was at youtube.com seeing video of the hockey incident of last night---scary!
At least, ruru, the only ar** your president licks is his father's. Our recently retired PM was a total slut in those stakes. I still have to make judgement on the new one, since he's not of the party I support anyhow.
ty tyger
yw, kaz
He seems to lick evil cheney's rump, too...
I don't think there are many world so-called leaders that command any respect now.
what happened Scrab?
isn't that the truth, jac...
now that is a lot of ass-licking
why doesn't Cheney take him out for a hunting trip..
a horrible hockey accident, asg, where a carotid artery was severed
Skate to neck---severed carotid artery---happened here in Buffalo last night to a Florida Panther player. The guy is OK!
ooooooooh - wow -(yuk) - glad he's ok!!
pam - indeed it is!
Haha, monkey found ma5!
yup, scrabs, that's about the only way to get that one; it's how I did
*Pats Scrabbs' monkey on head.*
good luck with the ma 6
I got a clue for that this AM from Eva, otherwise i would beg for a clue.
And monkey found je4/12 with some math skills.
el je 4/12? one of my fave words! i get that one, but forget to look for the volcano, LOLOL
I could use a clue for ma6?
All done!
and ma5, LOl
yay, scrabs!
chaos with out the sometimes vowell
or a point count for the ma5, ma6...
yay Scrab!
yay, scrabs
congrats scrabbler
ma6 is a homonym for a word meaning chaos or rioting
thanks ruru
ma 6 = ma + vow + the bottom of a skirt
ma 5 french for "my life"
thanks weege and asg
that ma6 should have a different third letter!
I was about to clue that, wee gee. LOL
I have head bruises from that ma 6
great minds jac, great minds :)
yw
Ce'st ma v**!
oooooh! lol - my "real age" test results are in and I'm almost 5 years younger than I should be!! :)
bbl got to watch Westminster Doggie show..
yay, green :)
tell us who wins, ruru
Fireworks!!
yay, green!
*** woof!***
yay doxy
I'm watching tv weather scrolling tomorrow's closings... my school district not on it yet...
Only if you were truthful about what you would actually DO as opposed to what you really think, asgreen.
Bedtime for Scrabbler! But I need to relax after a non-stop day of chaos at the office, including a nasty mother near the end of the evening that wanted an antibiotic prescription for her daughter that started with a cold on Thursday. When I declared the verdict ( a cold) the mother stood up and said, "Well, I guess we'll just be back in 2 days then." She walked right out in a huff.
Yahoo Doxy!
What you really want to do, or think you should do, often differ from reality, given your life's variables...
UGH, scrabs!
yay, dox!
nite, scrabs, and good for you with the idiot mom!
what make, model and year huff was she driving scrabs?
yay, doxy
?? (Jac?) - you mean for my quiz? I was truthful!
She didn't even want to be educated, she just wanted what she expected!
Scrabbs - don't let the Mary thing cloud your judgement.xxxxx
good night scrabs
2008 Huff Mad Momma model.
scrabs, too bad you can't hand out secret placebo pills
mary thing, jac?
...And, Scrabbs, never underestimate a mother wanted to help her child.
lol Scrab - silly mom - just wants it to be OVER!! stick to your guns though!
tyger - Mary is a long-term patient and friend of Scrabbs. She has a young famil and a new baby, and cancer.
reminds me, how is Mary, now youve reminded me
I've been praying for her
I know that parents want their kids to get better, but to believe that antibiotics are the answer for all ills is what is bothersome.
that's so sad - I hate hearing that (about Mary)....sorry Scrabs!
I just wasn't connecting her with this idiot mom
Jac - I still didn't get your truthful comment - did you mean on the quiz?
Oh, I understand that, Scrabbs. I still think... though.
Mary went to Duke Univ Thurs and Fri, returned home Fri night for the first time since Nov 23rd and got readmitted to the hospital Sat AM.
I did mea on the quiz, asgreen.
oh, well, I was truthful....so that's good! :)
scrabs, do you want to send me an update on her I can take to prayer meeting tomorrow morning? still have my email??
finally fireworks
I almost forgot--I have to take my turns in Scrabble games. I will do that then go to bed.
yay, natts
go Lady!
congrats lady
yay., natts!
:D
Tyger---she is recovering from radiation, on 3 chemo agents, tumor is shrinking, but she needs to get stronger.
here's the link if any of you dare to take it! lol http://www.realage.com/ralong/entr y10.aspx?cbr=OPRH29
yay Lady!
Yahoo natts!
Scrabbs - you've let this get to you. But that only shows your humanity. Take a step back now and let me give you a hug.xx
I took that thing about a year ago
I fed my monkeys many bananas and they helped me finish early today

The Mad Momma--it is a daily ocurrence in pediatrics, nothing new at all.
Ah! fj was weegee's last word.
I think that the whole antibiotic thing is due to the slowness of the information to get out there...
I would love a hug though!
(((((scrabs)))))
{{{{{for you}}}}
I just heard about it - I was curious....(thought it was new actually)....anyway, I do need to eat healthier and take vitamins (which I don't) - I DO abide by the glass of daily wine though :)
Hugs to Scrabs!!!!
Many moms would say, "Thank, God, I am so glad it's just a virus. I hate antibiotics."
As a mother, I know how a mother can be construed as a mad momma by health workers.
((((Scrabbler))))
pam, too many people simply believe that antibiotics will cure anything. as one who studied microbiology for 4 years, I can tell you: It ain't so!
((((((( scrabs))))))
But, when a mother's had to have her own child ceritfied to save her life...
Mad Mommas are a subset---most parents are reasonable and want to learn.
I think that you are right, tyger. But now we have to get the information out thee...
Hi, all. Eating my dinner and lurking.
...and she knows full well she may have to do it again one day, when she is older and maybe less able...
lotta folks just don't want to hear it, tho, pam :( :(
I am sure, jac. But my mom was mad--damn near killed all of us--and no one certified her. .. s
hey, jellen
pam - It's not easy to get someone cetified.
It 's had all around, jac--lots of stereotypes, little info.
ceRtified.
hi Jellen
hi jellen
We call it a "2 PC" admission here, when 2 physicians certify that a patient is in danger and must be admitted for a minimum 72 hour evaluation.
I know, jac. Made it my buisiness to find out--so no one else would go through what I have gone through. And, have seen it done at work, more than once. Trust me, I am not saying any of this lightly
It needs 3 doctors here in UK, Scrabbs.
ok all - I'm done for the day- hugs to Scrabs and anyone else who needs it! See y'all tomorrow!
pam - I think I 'know' you now, and so didn't even imagine your comments were made lightly.
by the sam token, I can also appreciate that scrabs get hollered at by anxious parents all of the time, parents whose anxiety may, just may, get in the way of hearing what the doc is saying. Pills are easier than dealing with the cold... easier, but not effective and over the long term, not good at all...
thanks, jac...
with all the other cluers available, I think I'll go back to watching the eBay Item I'm hoping to win in 15 min or so :)
Well done, asgreen, and see you again.
nite, green
g'night asg
yay, asg! and, good luck, tyger!
hi, all
good luck, tyger!
nytol
bye - good luck tyger!! :) don't pay to much! bye Jac and weegee et al! *poof
Bye, tyger
Hi, Tea
Hello, tea.
gosh, I might finish one for once!
hello tea & c
Are you here on your own or as a team?
Hi, TnC!
I think I'm headed for divorce.
just me.
I'm sorry, Lady
sorry to hear that Lady, unless YOU think it's good thing of course
Erm, hello, LadyNatt. Why is that? Babble addiction?
If it were only that, Jac. Damn man drives me crazy... he's worse than a child!
hey, anyone have a clue for ma 6.27?
Better get cracking then, Tea! It's a 30-min grid, tops.
Lady - all men are children.
ma... a weird spelling of disorderliness
got it. thanks!
Seriously, I was "too long" visiting my brother in hospital, and he got hungry and cranky (couldn't be bothered to fix himself something to eat, now, could he?)
thanks, Lady
Welcome.
Lady - that's a serious case of selfishness.
what does the begin with?
i cannot believe this.
my, how old is this cranky baby?
what does the 7 begin with, please?
what does the 7 begin with, please?
hi, hursh!
hi hursh
Yes. That's what I'm saying... When I got home, I put the water to boil for some linguine... "I don't want to eat now, I'm going to sleep."
all this woman had to do was kiss a frog and she would get $532,000. and she didn't do it. no deal, she says.
wh, pam
sorry about the hiccoughs...
It's time that cranky baby woke up to the world around HIM and HIS 'needs'.
it's like, half a second of your life. just kiss the frog. unbelievable.
He is 52.
how does howie get his old bald head to shine so? baby oil?
oh crikes, I'd kiss a frog for that!
Well,, Lady, at that age it's time he woke up to reality.
oh lady, he deserves a cream pie in the face!
I've kissed a frog for nothing! (I was a kid, and I was quite fond of frogs)
hi, and thanks, jellen--I will go a-hunting...
I know. I'm so angry with him right now.
got it, thanks, jellen
You're good, pam!
Kissing frogsis overrated! Not all princes are handsome. Try kissing the guy with the sexy eyes/butt, whatever, instead!
I have two he6, clue for the third he and hi everybody
Try kissing the guy who makes you laugh out loud!
but it wasn't for a prince. it was for $532,000. cold hard cash. and now she ended up with $166,000.
I see only 2 he6's, esprit
i mean that's fine and all but, for cryin out loud.
bees live in hi
I meant the 3d 6 ltr wd
sorry, jetlagged
ah
It's only money, hursh, but not to be sneezed at.
ma6= murder and ma****, spelled funny.
ty jellen
I've lost track of what clues are needed and who is asking.
stoopid word
We're all caught up, I think, Jac.
If you read about a homicide near Edmonton Alberta Canada, pray for a lenient judge...
Hmm, Jellen, but are we all caught up in a sexual, political are past memories web?
Sorry for your troubles, LadyNatts, but at least this is a good place to vent.
Now he wants me to cook the damned linguine so he can take it to work tomorrow!
Or past memories, I meant.
All of the above for me, Jac :-)
Yes, Jellen. Thank you all for that :)
ok, can I please, please,please get a clue on the fj word?
I'm juggling 7 flirtations on Facebook--unfortunately, all are long distance.
Lady, put it in his lunch box raw.
i am fading==tomorrow...
Sounds like a field, Tea. Scandanavian style.
awesome - thanks jac!
pretend that j is a vowel, and think of a f**** of daisies, tea
Jellen - you slut!
fj + She h*** her head up high
I don't do net flirtation.
I did that once or twice and met my Other Half. Not on a dating site, I might add.
go figure... that's how I meant my big cranky baby. (Internet)
Of course not, Jac, you are otherwise occupied.
met, I mean
Lady, my dad used to complain to my mom about the amount of mustard on his sandwiches in his lunch, she never made another lunch sandwich for him again!
Icon check...
so, the man cannot boil water Lady?
not while he's snoring, I guess, weegee.
Tea - unless she'd eaten the sandwiches, or accidentally licked her finger after putting the mustard on.... then why? Unless it was hidden in his moustache and zapped her on the coming home kiss.
hi red!
Hi, red!
I was thinking the other day that a good icon theme might be for us to "Take a Phantom from the Grid" but I couldnt get the email to babbler to work.
I think that it was after much complaining, or the manner in which he complained about the mustard
Hi all, I was changing ico for tomorro...now I am a vision of pink...
I sent a bunch of suggestions a week or more ago, but they haven't turned up yet, so I don't know if the e-mail worked.
well, tis not really important.
red - I sent Babbler a list of 24 themes to try out about 3 days ago. Not heard anything back yet.
My email was returned as undeliverable, so I suspect I typed something wrong, but, I like doing other peoples themes too!
I've taken lots of photos for the themes I suggested. LOL
*Wonders about the size of the grid for the flip*/
ma 5?
My e-mail was 'sent' and not returned. That doesn't mean she got it, though.
red - 152 words for the flip is my guess.
ma + la *** en rose, I think
thanks, jellen!
2 left!
well, take a phantom from the grid could get confusing...
You're welcome, Tea. Sometimes my French memory lets me down.
hi babblers
Hi, Ping!
Yay, fireworks for me!
Jellen - if I'd not already finished the grid hours ago, I would have got your clue anyway.
thanks to JMB
Yay for christy!!!
last two and bath time is starting - wh 7 and wh 5/22
and some others
wh7= Jac wh***** the information out of me.
hi jellen
wh5/22 is normally preceded by the word 'over' , as in too much emotion.
oh!
wh5= I'm easily overwh***ed by details.
thank you all! I can go clean kids now!
Jellen - I did? LOL!
happy bathtime, tea
Tea - well done!
brb. phone
Good night everyone. See you tomorrow
that's the first one I have finished in a lonnnnnnnng time!
'Night, weegee.
bye wee gee and hi jac
*Pictureof Tea bleaching her kids is not so good, so I may retire from the log soon.*
Hi, ping.
Should I have imagined happy bubble baths? LOL.
Forgive me! I do have rather a dark sense of humour.
which we completely appreciate, jac!
:D, ping/
how are you, mistresss?
Ping - why are you calling me mistress, only Ren does that.
call it a copy cat crime
or perhaps it's not just ren but all of us in houston, texas
Ren caatches and eats insects in order to keep healthy to serve me.
an entire city at your service
we do have plenty of insects down here
You mean, here in my coffin, as day threatens to break, I have a whole city ready to serve me?
WOW!
a city with a rodeo no less!
yee haa!
This has taken an odd turn ..
*Scrabbles for a pen and paper in order to write draft film script.*
sorry, torgone, my bad!
lol!
Not bad, just odd ..
Oh. don't get me going on rodeo cowboys or else I'll be back to the bad old days when I earned good money writing... yes... cough.. ah4.
lol!
did you write about cowboys?
Not telling!
I might want to write more, one day. LOL
how is your mom in law?
i haven't been playing as much and am out of the loop
Ma in law seems okay and is recovering well.
glad to hear that
I do hope that she will not do mu ex grandma in law thing in a decade, and haave probs in the other breast.
Back again.
Hi again, Jellen.
hi jellen
that happened to my mom. twice.
I'm having trouble wwith my new book, Jellen, even though it's written by an Irish writer in the original Sue Lib (Bad Housekeeping) style. It's not quirte got what it takes.
still wondering if we will get a big or small grid tonight....
I'm sorry, Jac. It's frustrating to get a disappointing book.
red - I told you 152 for tomorrow, methinks.
If not 152 then 512 or 312.
could I get some help on the 2 ma words?
I'm reading the Immaculate Deception by Iain Pears--light stuff, but what I can handle right now.
ma6= murder and ma****; chaos--spelled funny
ma5= ma + la *** en rose
That's the troubel with this book, Jellen, it's far too light.
This isn't too light, just the right weight.
I think I'l gp for a biograpy and a Stephen Kign book nect.
King.
thanks jellen
I'm reading Three Cups of Tea next. It's for my book group.
You're welcome, Duck
I'm off to bed now. 'Night, all!
G'night, Jac. Sweet dreams.

Go Ping, go!

Wahoo, Ping!!!!
thanks for the clues, j
You are most welcome, Ping!
how's your health this week?
Holding steady. Went to the doctor today. No new news, which is good.
I'm going to a specialist next week since they don't know what caused the problem.
Good, I hope that this just keeps on and on.
I'd like to know if I'm facing more of these things, or if it was an aberration.
512 jacs... I vote for a more sedate 115...
Jellen, i hope you are alright.
Me too, red!
i had a scare in the fall and it turned out to be an aberration
knock on wood - i wish the same to you, j
Good (not that you had the scare, of course)!
Thanks, Ping!
