Off topic, but I am so pleased,I have somehow managed to lose2 more pounds. Leaving me 12 pounds away from goal. for the next seven weeks....

We have missed out on the rain. Looking at new digs so heres to hoping

3:39 am

i remember my laptop getting mouldy in the philippines

EWWW

3:39 am

and not working in the heat

I hae to say in Sudan, everything was super dry,itrained like 2 times in 6 months...

Soeerything was rather bone dry...

3:40 am

well... back already. Car does not start. Again. We just got it back from the garage. I am sick and tired of this streak of bad luck.

Red you aren't on facebook are you?

I am sorry. I need canned air to clean out my keyboard!!things keep sticking...

OH SPRITE. pout stupid car goes shakes fist at it

3:40 am

awwwww spritey :(

I am not really Herin, I signed up but I dont use it at alll...

3:41 am

I kicked it, just now. Couldn't help melself.

3:41 am

shoot Sprite. time to call the garage again, perhaps they can send someone around

I am sorry sprite. Car trouble can be so stressful...

OK Red

3:42 am

already did, lynxxx, they come and pick it up today. They put a new start engine in it last time. No freakin' idea what can be the matter now.

I would have too Sprite

Hope they fix it!!! correctly even!!

Sprite tell tehm to fix it free of charge and they are dumb arses

3:42 am

so... no therapy. Last week no therapy because schedule therapist was booked full. Week before no therapy because I had the flu. Now no therapy because stoooopid car won't go. And I need it.

3:43 am

do you have gas & petrol car Sprite?

3:43 am

I do, lynxxx

Sprite can someone take you it is very important for you to destress do your thing

3:45 am

I tried that, lady. And to borrow a car. No luck though. Right now I am having trouble reminding myself that I am a darn lucky woman to have a home, a loving husband and two wonderful kids, plus great friends. I feel unlucky for all the bad luck.

3:45 am

eek...my friend just went through months of problems with his Sprite, used not start irreguarly, got a new starter motor, at the garage numerous times. Auto electrician looked at it...Eventually to it to an Auto Electric specialists - it was a $10 part !!!

Sprite you have your wonderful neighbour too Sprite

3:46 am

eeeeeks lynxxx... I pray they will find out right now what it is, and fix it for that small fee!

Hugs toSprite.

3:47 am

true lady. She is a friend to me. But good to be reminded of her as well. I AM counting my blessings. But an obstinate part of me is counting all the bad luck and is claiming it wins.

3:47 am

He went to the specilist himself rather than have one come to garage...might be worthwhile thinking about

3:47 am

thanks lynxxx, good one

3:47 am

and thanks red :)

THinks my head is about it implode

3:49 am

3:53 am

yep - 34 today, really dry, Infernal said its still 30 - we are both in Melb

3:53 am

thanks BabbleRabble, was looking at the wrong sw.

3:53 am

It was hotter than I've ever known it to be in Perth last week but this week it's much cooler ... big relief

Its 2054 and 31 C or 81 F

AlrightI am at 151, I think I shall getLickety...

YAH RED

3:58 am

-17°F and feels like -31°F ... might need a jacket today

Babble, I feel for you. I will go no further north again unless it is summer.

3:59 am

+2 Celcius, feels like -12 C, might need a car today. So, how is that for being bitter. But the good news is: got the ugly stains out of my son's aikido clothes.

What was it SPrite?

4:01 am

I hate the daylight savings, it can be 9 at night and still be 35 degrees here.

Glad the stains came out...

I thought we were the only country with the silly DST...

4:01 am

he had put the bag with the clothes on the floor of the car... which was a swimming pool. And then he did not tell me, but left it to dry for 2 weeks. I found out when he put then on last Sunday.

4:02 am

most of the world has it, red, I think. THough not the same everywhere.

clue for the ah??

4:02 am

on the back of a noble steed, red

4:02 am

I don't mind the cold; it is the snow that accumulates on my hammock that is problematic

Isuppose, sprite, but I guess since I have spent time only in very underdeveloped countries we never had DST, most peopledidnt have watches....

4:03 am

lol BabbleRabble. A very tight netted hammock you have.

4:03 am

and thanks for making me smile.

TY sprite...

4:03 am

yvw red

Sorry about your hammock BR... Yo umust get a snow resistant super heated one for next winter.

ewww Sprite ickuy

4:05 am

red the ah is a + equine animal

4:05 am

yeah, it was really gross, lady. Never thought it would come out. Made my son put the things in an bucket to rinse for 24 hours.

ewww

TY Hillary, spriteclued it and I have it!!! Now working on An's...

I am just cleaning all my winter stuff

4:07 am

well... guess what I can learn from this icky experience, is to never give up... but hey, I knew that trick already.

People, I am getting discouraged. I have 7 weeks left here,and thejob I want is not materializing.

Sod fingers crossed

4:08 am

a repeat but what the hey... What do you call a line of rabbits walking backwards?

O feel annoyed but may just go to FL,and be just like 4 hours away...

4:08 am

darn red, that s*cks. Will pray and wish for a job to come your way! A good one.

4:08 am

A receding hare-line.

itsstill warm. I just have to deal with a spurious company possibly...

4:09 am

oh LOL BabbleRabble... thanks. I really laughed.

4:09 am

keep applying for others Red, you might come across another one

4:09 am

haha BR

groan and lol BR

It's more a matter of the hospitalsI want having a need. Job finding for nurses ispretty simple, until youhave a specific area...

Will call spurious company today.

4:10 am

last two wa5 and wa6?

4:11 am

got em actually...

Best luck Red

4:11 am

the clear liquid stuff(s), hillary?

4:11 am

h2O

4:11 am

much better clue, BabbleRabble.

4:12 am

why do you travel, redT?

4:12 am

i keep seeing the word bowl in the grid

Mostly Money Babble, and there isn't a job I want back at home...

I like to see new places, but I do not like to see new cold places, I leared this year...

4:14 am

finally... fireworks... not without a few fish moments though

4:14 am

congrats, hillary

4:14 am

wtg hillary

Yay Hillary!!!

4:15 am

you have said you get lonely for home... constantly having to start over in new places must be taxing

Yah Hillary

4:15 am

Sprite - i just rang my friend with the car. His problem was a relay switch between the fuel and the gas. Might be worth asking your garage to check that, stranger coincidences have happened

4:16 am

Congrats Hilary!

4:16 am

indeed so, lynxxx, thank you very much for doing this for me! I will ask the garage to check for this. *hug*

THe Starting over is fine,But the trying to get this specific job is stressful, there is a man involved, otherwise I would be just as happy to go to texas, or wherever. I always miss my house, but I settled for a year and the money was terrible, made it hard topay bills.

the wierd thing is that pretty much every ER is the same the country over. Everyone thinks they work in a unique environment, but its always the same personality types over and over again.

Red i thought you had a date with your master bedroom at the end of this term?

I am going to Florida for Marathon man....

I will definitely stop by my master bedroom...for a day or two.

mm k

4:19 am

that NG in that corner is a total waste, isn't it?

G isn't

Yes Sprite!!! I have pulled up lickety but keep forgetting to use it.

I mean the combination :(

Gn no

4:20 am

no gnus there

6:09 am

LOL Lori, you always bring energy and excitement to the log, i love that!!!

6:10 am

frozen here. Just figured out how to avoid paying for having the driveway sanded yet again, or at least postpone it, by leaving cars at the bottom of the driveway/hill and sprinkling ashes from the woodstove down there. The clamp the spikes to the bottom of our boots and slither down to the cars.

Eva salt the drive

6:11 am

or buy a toboggin

6:11 am

pe's and po's are p***ing me off already

or steal a slice tin from the kitchen

6:12 am

it would cost a fortune herin- and also don't want salt running into our gardens, etc. The sander is great, but we need a fuel delivery on Friday and if I have is sanded today and it snows between now and Friday then I have to have it done again

6:12 am

It does make an excellent luge run

6:12 am

Ah, the challenges of winter, Eva.

6:13 am

pe6.33 pe + what you do with needle & thread + vowel

6:13 am

pe6.21 spanish coin

6:13 am

Have you noticed how hungry the animals are this winter scrabbler? We have owls hunting during the day, and the deer are resorting to pawing the ground under the bird feeder, because the snow cover is so deep and heavy.

Guess your stuck

6:14 am

thanks lynxxx... that was my first word..how is the grid today?

6:14 am

I am still trying to fgure out what Caesar said to Brutus.

6:14 am

the alien who wanted to go home Scrabs

6:15 am

its good Carlee

6:15 am

***tanckle hugs carlee, and puts gum in her hair***

6:15 am

Yes, Eva, I have red squirrels, chipmunks and mice foraging in my garage for birdseed, and I am filling up my birdfeeders and suet feeders at least every several days.

Feed the deer? or feed the deer to yourself?

6:15 am

scrab-et tu

6:15 am

hi all. COuld someone clue the far right R pls?

6:15 am

TY, for that Latin 101 lesson.

6:15 am

ok...i have to ask..the single o on the right...pls...

6:15 am

Hi Carlee

6:15 am

Only the t left now. I think I'll ignore it for a bit.

6:15 am

morning lori... r we suffering cabin fever ????

6:15 am

**makes a trail of smarties all around babble's floor**

6:16 am

lol...snap grace

6:16 am

ow4.8 rhymes with a girls shirt

Carlee and UNI hello

6:16 am

I'm just about gaga carlee. I've had it with winter, honest ta' god.

6:16 am

I feel so bad for the barred owl who is hanging around the house. Next time Merp leaves anything over from his hunting I think I'll put it out as an offering for her. But I don't know if they eat anything that isn't moving. I mean they're not normally carriou eaters are they?

6:17 am

snap?

Eva you could get some dead mice and warm them up to blood point for the Owl

6:17 am

I am not sure about that, Eva, but it is worth a try.

6:17 am

same here... but....the ground hog said early.....holding him to it

6:17 am

we asked the same thing at the same time

6:17 am

that was carrion, not carriou (a dead carribou?)

Most Owls don't eat dead food but thats what we do with the snake

6:17 am

LOL, imagining recently dead mice being heated in microwave oven

6:18 am

ah, but I need the right hand R

6:18 am

( i thought same thing scrabs )

Scrabbler thats cooking them. You put them in blood temp warm water

Then you get chopsticks and play chasie with the mouse around the tank so it looks like it was moving

6:19 am

I am a little sl4 this am

6:19 am

lol Eva - I first thought that Merp was good taking down a carribou

6:19 am

I've thought of it herin.....I had a friend who was a falconer and he had a freezer full of mice, which he would thaw out on the kitchen counter. Then when I volunteered at the zoo the fridge was stocked with things like pinkies (frozen rat babies) . Sorry pink!

6:19 am

If anyone enters the chat now they will wonder what is going on as we talk about heating up dead mice.

6:20 am

hello carlee, uni, rolin, and anyone else i've missed

6:20 am

they'll know us for who we truly are

Eva you could try if the owl they will eat

6:21 am

Eva - your nearest zoo could probably give you a quick answer

My old housemate had a snake we had miceicles and ratsciles

6:21 am

pinkies are gross! I cannot believe I stumbled in at this moment- hee hee!

Hi Jai

Scarlet own a tarantular

6:21 am

she's a truly magnificent owl. She's watching the bird feeder, but what she's interested in is the rodents, because I think the chickadees are too quick for her, and since the last heavy snow I haven't seen many mice at the feeder.

6:21 am

what kind was it herin?

6:22 am

Hi all!

6:22 am

hi jaiann!!

Carpet snake me thinks back

6:22 am

Hi Jaia

6:22 am

Hi jaianniah (you have a lot of vowels in your name and it is hard to type)

Maybe she will have the Squirrels and make nut happy

6:22 am

Eva. I heard a report on VPR this morning that the owls in Vermont and New Hampshire are starving for lack of food.

6:22 am

i'm not having many words jump out this am....

6:23 am

The mice and squirrels used to have tunnels running from under some rocks to the tree with the feeder, so they were exposed to danger for the minimum amount of time, but their tunnels are all covered over now.

6:23 am

have a coffee carlee

6:23 am

Me too, Carlee, compared to yesterday's rapid pace.

What smart but cheeky critters

6:23 am

hubby not up....no coffee yet

6:24 am

Hi all- thanks for the great welcome.How are you all?

6:24 am

7:05 am

Wow... I saw the AN 8 and monkied the word, though I've never seen it before...

7:06 am

The house will survive Lor... if your life is good, then who cares? We are having a bit of a challenge lately, but all in all life is kind.

7:06 am

7:15 am

Too later Scarlet. She's already here......

7:16 am

Been borned already woman! Focus! :-)

7:16 am

From my head... I play, peri... with things that seem oddball to me, and you come out to 10-10 which is a pure result...

7:17 am

It's balanced... it's clean, it's so beautiful...

7:17 am

so I am a 10!!! or 10-10 even :-)

7:17 am

or are you calling me an oddball?

7:17 am

PERI IS A 10! A perfect score for the olympics!! NO, dear, I am the oddity... LOL

7:18 am

don't think the Universe received your information though Scarlet

7:18 am

LISTEN to me out there: It is a good day!

7:19 am

*** what? *** :-)

7:19 am

LOL, Lori... always trying to get me straight... too late!!

7:19 am

Uh-oh... LORI...put on your tinfoil hat...the message wasn't for you!

where's Dr. Phil when you need him?

7:20 am

*snort* Hi, EJ!

7:20 am

Hey lurkin' Esprit! G'd morning. :-)

gm lori

not lurking, just stumbled in naked and with coffee

ah the joys of living alone

7:21 am

Dr phil? Why? Is he gonna' follow me in to the nuthouse with a TV camera, to make money off my mental breakdown?

well, it seems to be his MO doesn't it

7:22 am

There's a visual that I could do without...

7:22 am

If yu're breaking down, make sure no-one calls me! I can't take cre of those boy-cubs...

7:22 am

If tehre were degrees of opportunism, he'd have 'em all.

7:23 am

Yep, Lor...nailed that one!

7:23 am

LOL Uni, they're all yours now.... muah ha ha muah hah ha

7:23 am

hello everyone! Why? Is Dr. Phil here and why is he following Lori?

7:23 am

Don't spill the coffe then esprit......

7:23 am

G'd morning Annie!!

not a chance, it's on an IV pole

7:24 am

{{{ANNIE}}} It's peri's birthday, and I invited the universe to celebrate (icon) and we, no, I am having some fun with the numbers

7:24 am

Excellent. Esprit is a soul after my own heart then.

7:24 am

hi {{{scarlet and lori}}}

the Universe wants us to be friends

7:24 am

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PERI!!!!!!!!!

7:24 am

thank you Annie

7:24 am

Hi Jean!

7:24 am

We're just, you know, playing along with Scarlet, because we don't want her coming unhinged yet, as Dr Phil is busy with me right now.

hya annieB

7:25 am

EJ, I have Dr. Stephen Hawking on the phone, and he concurs...

7:25 am

Yeah, righhhhhhhhhhtttttttt, Lor...is that what you call it in Nova Scotia?

7:25 am

Ahem, Scarlet has had her hinges removed way back...

what about Shirley McLain?

7:25 am

LOLOLOL Annie

7:26 am

Hahahhaaaaaa.... Annie.... very funny! And, TRUE!

7:26 am

I absolutely love the way chat can flow. Amazing.

7:26 am

I am hinge-less....

7:26 am

With the right (?) people, Lori...

7:26 am

Dr. Phil couldn't handle you two...you would make mincemeat out of the poor man

7:27 am

Yeah, especially if Lori goes first...there would be mere shreds of the man left for me....

he's not a poor man by any means, he has exploited the dysfunctional to great profit

7:27 am

Yes Scarlet, for sure. Dr Phil? We'd chew him up, and spit him out. He'd be the one having multiple breakdowns, houndd endlessly by opportunists....

in case anyone is confused, I think he is a giant butthead

7:27 am

and, Scarlet, you would fininsh him off

7:28 am

And esprit sums it up succunctly and accurately. I concur.

7:28 am

*succinctly even

7:28 am

Sure, EJ... but Annie is charged with sending him to Haz's Home for the Bewildered... Oh, Yes Annie! He would be balled up into a fetal position, sucking his thumb and humming Yankee Doodle!!

7:30 am

and Our Friends on the Other Side of the Pond would know exactly how to handle the poor (Jean, you are right) exploiting fool

7:30 am

Enough of that moron... has everyone heard that Fidel Castro has resigned?

7:30 am

My cat is celebrating her birthday today too!

yes, I heard that

7:30 am

Where is HAz and FM. Why won't they come and pway wiff us? :(

7:30 am

didn't hear that Scarlet

he's going to be Hillary's running mate

7:30 am

Raoul has taken over the reins... I never thought that I'd live to see that!

7:31 am

ugh....dr phil ...ptuie

7:31 am

ok..gone again....just thought I would throw that out there :)

7:31 am

8:03 am

Hi, Ata... LOL, Luc!

8:04 am

8:06 am

sorry

8:06 am

LOL... Luc... I was referring to my brain...

8:06 am

8:06 am

It does seem to have an inner-galactic theme today...

8:07 am

Oh, dear...I am so sorry hear that

8:07 am

That was for Atalante's dog, Hobbit

8:07 am

Awwww.... poor Willow, Ata...

8:07 am

she has kennel cough, and I'm very cross at the owner of whichever dog she caught it from.

8:08 am

Ata, I would be upset at the kennel owner too..

8:08 am

she hasn't been to kennels, but she's been meeting other dogs out on walks. One of them must have had it. grrr.

8:09 am

There is not much of a screening process here, either... that's so irresponsible...

8:09 am

wow. I got all 45 T words!

8:09 am

Oh.

8:09 am

poor willow

8:09 am

talking about animals, i just found the *****, the *****, of course, of course...

8:10 am

Thank you, Luc!

8:10 am

anyone listening re: the spy satelite blow up/ return to earth?

8:21 am

I just have been hard-pressed to sit down and communicate lately... this is it for now... but, {{hugs}} for your kindness...

8:21 am

please translate, Luc

8:21 am

Yeah, kat... Bush's big shoot-down... stupid!

8:21 am

Scarlet, I have been instructed to "edit fiercely" ... am paralyzed, so I have yet to write an article for this editor.. lol... I LOVE to write..

8:22 am

écarlate is french for scarlet - bye for now

8:22 am

Have I missed anything? I went to check my e-mail and lost my internet connection and it has taken &****@ forever to get back

8:22 am

ah, thanks

8:22 am

i'm having difficulty understanding how we need to blow it up to get rid of the fuel..when it burns up upon entry regardless????

8:22 am

hi peri... happened to me yesterday, got kicked off.. boo

8:22 am

u've missed drinks..togas..bellydancing leis and grass skirts I believe peri

8:22 am

The joke is "sorry for the long letter... I didn't have time to write a short one." Aloy... it's the way of life...

8:23 am

Good morning/afternoon all.

8:23 am

and ukeles

8:23 am

Exactly, kattie... and it is some very toxic stuff!

8:23 am

did I really or are you just pulling my let, carlee

8:23 am

I guess there's a difference between burn-up and something starting to burn-up with a good amount of fuel on board. Big explosions

8:23 am

(-: whenever ... whatever.. its all good

8:23 am

*** passing haz some... thing alcoholic.....***

8:23 am

Hi Hazel!!

8:23 am

not pulling a let or a leg peri

8:23 am

Good day, Haz!

8:24 am

Hi Haz!!!

8:24 am

Hello, Babblers of the World.

8:24 am

NO, peri... kat is telling the truth...

8:24 am

hi haz and cough-free spangle

8:24 am

Vi!! :-)

8:24 am

hi vi

8:24 am

Hello there - glad I missed out on the belly-dancing. I show my midriff to no-one.

8:24 am

8:25 am

8:25 am

"puff, pant ... sorry Im late"

8:25 am

<-------- happy lungs

8:25 am

8:25 am

Oh what fun, we're all here.

8:25 am

it was ME dancing haz... busted out the costume and zils...u missed it

8:25 am

Hello Vicuna and FMitch!

8:25 am

LOL.. hi, FMitch!

8:25 am

there she is...hi FM, we need you to start Greek dancing for peri's birthday bash

8:26 am

Did you notice something in Al Fayed's rant yesterday? He DIDN'T blame FM!

8:26 am

FM... you were on call for the toga and glass smashing and you failed your duty!

8:26 am

We saw a bellydancer once, and my husband observed "She looks like she's flowing upwards out of her skirt," which described it very aptly, I thought. A most curious effect.

8:26 am

Happy Birthday Peri, Hello Haz, Vi, Ata, Aloy, carlee, Scarlet, Annie and everyone.

8:26 am

fireworks for today.

8:26 am

He blamed everyone else! Good afternoon everyone.

8:26 am

Al-Fayed is completely mad

8:26 am

and hi to Vicuna too.. missed your entrance as I grabbed another cuppa

8:27 am

Birthday, Peri? Happy!

8:27 am

How thoughtless of him, Haz... is the rumor of the Late princess' pregnanacy also FM's fault?

8:27 am

Glass smashing? Was there a Health and Safety assessment carried beforehand?

8:27 am

congrats Angelsong!!!!

8:27 am

<PURPLE POMPOM TWIST> for angel

8:27 am

Yahoo for Angelsong!! @@@

8:27 am

Of course not, Haz...it is a dilly of a morning, and NO rules!

8:27 am

Scarlet/Annie Im soo sorry, but there is nothing in my diary booking my services?

8:27 am

Ouch..more creepy crawlies in the grid

8:28 am

No rules? How can this be?

8:28 am

It was a totally spontaneous party, FM... but yoru services were required!

8:28 am

Good lord, now I know I can do a lot of things but pregnancy is one that I CAN'T be blamed for!!

8:28 am

Glass smashing can safely be done with cellulose vessels which dissolve in liquid.

8:28 am

Oh wait, then you can't drink from them.

8:28 am

Frances - hello to you - is the sun still shining?

8:28 am

The talking equine

8:29 am

It is Haz but only just.

8:29 am

.. his song is in the grid.. ah6.21

8:29 am

It was sugar glass Haz Afternoon Frances!!

8:29 am

Good morning Frances!! Welcome to the party!

8:29 am

Thank you, Aloy... I always miss that one.

8:29 am

Okay, sugar glass conforms to safety requirements but the calorie count?

8:29 am

Oh a party good. What is the occassion?

8:29 am

yw, didn't see it myself first go-round

8:30 am

I think we're still giddy from yesterday, Frances.

8:30 am

peri's birthday bash

8:30 am

youa re not supposed to eat it Haz, tsk, honestly! Vi is your icon one of your creations?

8:31 am

Yes, ma'am, FMitch.

8:31 am

It's peri's birthday? I'll never make Chief of Detectives, I hadn't taken in the import of the cake icon.

8:31 am

Happy birthday peri!

8:31 am

Happy birthday peri. Was it yesterday or today?

8:31 am

Its beautiful Vi

8:31 am

8:31 am

Thank you very much.

8:31 am

Light them candles, blow up those balloons.. its party time!

8:32 am

Yes, it is beautiful, Vi!

8:32 am

Better check that no-one has a balloon allergy first.

8:32 am

but ... where is the purple peri person?

8:32 am

Thank you Haz, Frances and anyone else who has wished me a happy birthday. Today is the day I was born, many years ago

8:32 am

Now, in one voice... oh, wait a moment... the Purple Blur has disappeared again...

8:32 am

I am here!!

8:32 am

mornin babblers!

8:32 am

Are the candles and balloons required to be made of sugar for safety reasons, too?

8:32 am

They are not latex, Haz...

8:32 am

Ah (((peri))) Happy Birthday

8:32 am

And make sure the extinguishers are strategically placed.

8:33 am

Hi, Blur... the princess of the moment! Hi, Eva... grab a toga!

8:33 am

NOT that I mean peri has so many candles that a conflagration is inevitable.

8:33 am

Yay! Birthday girl!

8:33 am

8:38 am

But, we want it NOW, FM...

8:38 am

the spiced apple by popular request

8:38 am

just picked up your story, Frances.. hopefully no more problems with DVT? You must be careful when you fly?

8:38 am

And untie the bo4 on the presents...

8:38 am

can we blame FM for a late cake

8:39 am

A chocolate cake would be nice

8:39 am

(Don't say I didn't wa4 you!)

8:39 am

Absolutely, Annie.

8:39 am

of course Annie!

8:39 am

Blame me and there will be no cake or ice cream for the PB

8:39 am

where is stidmama?

8:39 am

she can't promise cake and then not deliver!

8:39 am

mmmm, chocolate!

8:39 am

Thanks Aloy. Never had problems with flying but do get the odd problems now and again.

8:39 am

Oooohhhhhhhhh. Threatening words.

8:40 am

Hands peri her own special triple choc cake with frosting, candles and the works.

8:40 am

FM spice apple sounds wonderful.

8:40 am

Lookie at all the mylar balloons floating into space for peri's big day... off to Venus and beyond... pretty.... Uh-oh... a fight a the party?

8:40 am

*at*

8:41 am

just don't throw the cakes.. or if you do, aim them right at me!

8:41 am

aww, thanks so much FM, it is delish

8:41 am

it is Frances and so easy.

8:41 am

*sitting politely at the birthday table with fork in hand waiting for spice apple cake*

8:41 am

I love balloons, I am a kid at heart

8:41 am

Recipe would be great FM - pretty please.

8:42 am

peri...you are in excellent company with this group... we're all kids...

8:42 am

FM, could you please email the recipe for the spice apple cake too? email address in profile....thanks!!!

8:42 am

Annie is the epitome of comportment...

8:42 am

*sits straighter*

8:43 am

**Hands Annie the gold star for posture**

8:43 am

*beaming*

8:43 am

Sure no probs but in the mean time "Come and get it" help yourselves to cake, theres home made icecream, muffins and champagne.

8:43 am

I had to borrow Atalante's award for a moment...

8:43 am

a

8:43 am

**Sploooch***

8:43 am

I will have some champagne, thanks

Good afternoon all

8:44 am

and some ice cream to go with the chocolate cake, thanks

8:44 am

Annie's mother used to make her walk around with a five pound bag of sugar on her head so that she would have the lovely posture she has now

8:44 am

Wow, what a party...

8:44 am

Good afternoon AnnieO.

8:44 am

Cheers FM

8:44 am

Hi, AnnieO... welcome to the blast-off party for peri-s birthday...

8:44 am

Hello, AnnieO.

8:44 am

Hi AnnieO

8:45 am

She had to abandon the five pound bag of sugar once she took up surveillance work, though.

8:45 am

No wonder she's so sweet, Aloy... she went walking in the rain once... LOL

8:45 am

Frances do you want to put your email addy in your bio for me

8:45 am

Aloy, you knew my mother?

It is definitely a fun party - I've brought some jelly

8:45 am

LOL, Scarlet.. eww, sticky

8:45 am

RIght, Haz... and it slogs her down when she puts on her flying nun costume...

8:45 am

Sleuthing and comportment are occasionally incompatible.

8:45 am

LOL, Vi./..

8:46 am

Vicuna is correct...flying with 5 pounds of sugar on my head is quite difficult

8:46 am

Absolutely Scarlet. You can't mix a wimple with a sack of sugar.

8:46 am

Done FM. Thank you.

8:46 am

Annie no email in your profile !

8:46 am

well, I remember when Queen Eliz. was crowned.. we watched and we so admired the Queen's stateliness.. anyway, my mother said the crown weighed five pounds and she related that to the bag of sugar

8:46 am

pass me some champers pls...

8:47 am

i think a spun-sugar wimple would be lovely, if delicate

8:47 am

hi de

8:47 am

Not very austere, though, seain.

8:47 am

*dc

8:47 am

Got it thanks Frances

8:47 am

The queen still practises with the crown before the opening of Parliament to get used to it.

8:47 am

Haz, now there are words to guide one's life: Do not mix a wimpole with sugar. Heed it well, BabbleLand.

8:47 am

Downright frivolous, in fact.

8:47 am

Oh James Martin is very good with spun sugar.

8:47 am

hello, all.

8:48 am

FM, going to look at profile and insert email, I thought it was there

8:48 am

hi, annie. how are you? Long time no see.

8:48 am

Yes, James could make a sugar nun's costume, no problem.

Yes, I agree Vic, and DC it wouldn't be good in the rain!

8:48 am

Hello dc!

8:48 am

afternoon, haz!

8:48 am

That must be my problem. My crown weights only two pounds. that's why I lack the proper gravitas.

8:49 am

Get a few more diamonds and rubies on there, Vicuna. You deserve the best.

8:49 am

you only have a crown worthy of 10 cent coins

8:49 am

Are you still taking the drugs like I told you, dc?

8:49 am

yes, Vicuna.. your crown must be heftier

8:49 am

Vic you could always add some carrots in place of the carats to weigh it down a bit.

8:49 am

Hello, seain... how are you feeling now?

8:49 am

I share my birthday with Justine Bateman, Jeff Daniels and Margaux Hemingway

8:49 am

I wonder how much Jordan's wedding tiara weighed?

8:49 am

indeed haz.

8:49 am

LOL, Frances...

8:50 am

Proper Crowns have to be at least 12lb in weight

8:50 am

That must be it, Ata. If I rated the one dallar bill no doubt I'd have the five pound crown. Sigh.

8:50 am

brb.. someone drank my coffee again!

I share mine with John McEnroe - that worries me

8:50 am

We care nothing for those other people, peri - it's YOUR day.

8:50 am

only marginally better, scarlet.

8:50 am

:-)

8:50 am

Seriously FMitch? 12 pounds?

8:50 am

i cancelled a lunch today, not going to class tonight, and i'll decide tonight if i'm going to be able to work tomorrow.

8:50 am

That's like carrying a three month old baby on your head.

8:51 am

what is wrong dc?

8:51 am

Haven't you weighed your crown recently Haz

8:51 am

I like that idea, Frances! Carrots! And here's today's item of vegetable trivia: Did you know that in the court of Louis XVI the women wore wild carrot flowers (ie Queen Anne's Lace) in their hair?

8:51 am

That wouldn't be a good thing for Annie's surveillance work either.

8:51 am

FM, email there now..and eagerly awaiting recipe, thanks so much

8:51 am

i have Flu strain B, peri, one of 60% not covered in the vaccine this year, and i went to doc too late for tamilfu.

8:52 am

I am wearing my tiara with diamonds and amythysts since it is my BD today

8:52 am

You are wise to limit your activities then, seain... I am really sorry that you haven't turned the corner yet...

8:52 am

we used to collect wild carrots and onions for cooking growing up. Took a while to learn which carrots were good for eating.

8:52 am

so sorry to hear that dc, hope you feel better soon

8:52 am

Poor sufferring seain.

8:52 am

So he's pumping himself full of drugs and hanging out with mad women.

8:52 am

Annie when you put it in your bio did you click on the update profile bit?

8:52 am

Vi!@ Great piece of trivia!

8:52 am

LOL

8:52 am

Haz, that should cure him quickly or do him in

8:52 am

i now have a coughing fit, ty, haz :D

8:53 am

I routinely carried my babies on my head, FM. Doesn't everyone? Of course now that they're 5 it's getting ungainly to carry them both at once...

8:53 am

FM, I am totally computer illiterate...going back to profile

8:53 am

oh, happy bday, peri :D

8:53 am

Don't make him laugh. Get well soon dc

8:53 am

But you haven't spilled coffee, have you, dc? I specialise in getting people to wreck keyboards and monitors by spraying coffee over them.

8:53 am

Oh, Ata... seain has kennel cough...

8:53 am

We need a sign over the babble door - Enter at your own Peril, may be risk toyour sanity

8:53 am

thanks dc

Do u have whiplash Vic?

8:54 am

No, but my neck resembles a linebacker's.

8:54 am

no open containers of liquid nearby at the moment, haz, maby an other time

8:54 am

Hello everyone. Happy Bday Peri, Get well soon seain.

8:54 am

Hi, Mich!!

8:54 am

hello, michnick, and ty

8:54 am

Glad to hear it, dc.

8:54 am

thanks Michnick

8:54 am

LMAO scarlet. have you had lots of strange dogs breathing on you recently, dc?

8:54 am

LOL... Vi... at least it is not steroid-inspired...

8:55 am

Hello, Michnick.

8:55 am

Hi Scarlet. Oh, Seain, just went into your profile. T added to Hebrew wds make them feminine, plural is 'im' at the end.

8:55 am

only Duke, with whom i have lived for a bit more than 2 years.

8:55 am

Hi. Vic.

8:55 am

LOL, Ata... only the residual fumes from all the alcohol at this party...

8:55 am

FM, I think I did it but, if not, my email address is astern@aol.com

8:55 am

oh, right, michnick, been a while, ty

8:55 am

going to take a break to shower and get dressed for the day. hold off on the party til I get back, please

8:55 am

Never, Scarlet. I am clean as a whistle and my madness is entirely natural.

8:56 am

You speak Hebrew Seain?

8:56 am

Hold off? Peri, it would be an insult to you to curtail the festivities while you're gone!

8:56 am

fixed

8:56 am

Yay yes you did Annie and now I have it.

8:56 am

Okay, peri. We'll be as serious as we can possibly be until you get back.

8:56 am

okay, bbs

8:56 am

a tad, michnick, not much

8:56 am

(If we keep the noise down we can do some stealth partying and she'll be none the wiser)

8:57 am

Oh no we won't Haz.

8:57 am

OK everyone just sit down and be quiet till peri gets back..... Yea right, like thats going to happen!! PARTYYYYY!!

8:57 am

Not that this is a conspiracy or anything.

8:57 am

Okay. everyone take off your sugar bag hats for better stealth.

8:57 am

But - what about our posture?

8:57 am

put on the tin foil hats then peri won't sense the partying

8:58 am

We'll never get up to Annie's posture standards if we take off our sugar bags.

8:58 am

Whoever has the apple spice cake recipe, I'd love a copy. I may just make it tonight.

8:58 am

Yeah, riggghhhhhhtttttt FM... I just hired a mirimba band after the zydeco dies down...

8:58 am

Yay! How about tinfoil sugar bags?!

8:58 am

Can I keep my sugar bag on and put the tinfoil hat over it?

8:58 am

Or would that look strange?

8:58 am

I am wearing my jordanesque cheapsuit of tinfoil... so there! Bleah!

8:59 am

dont see why not

8:59 am

Hey if you guys are really going to party hardy, keep it down, my kiddies are home.

8:59 am

quite fetching I think Haz

8:59 am

i buy sugar in resealable plastic bags - keeps the ants out when they're active.

my head's hurting...can I take mine off?

8:59 am

Tut tut, Scarlet. How can you put Jordan and cheap together in one sentence?

8:59 am

I do the same thing, Seain... Dixie Crystals...

8:59 am

Your head Annie?

8:59 am

I am such a low-life, Haz... mea culpa...

8:59 am

(AnnieO is a fader)

9:00 am

she spends a fortune to look that cheap!

9:00 am

Hey hey hey no J words round here we have a certain level of decorum to try and attain

9:00 am

Harris Teeter used to sell Dixie Crystals up here, but no more. Domino, Domino, or store brand.

9:00 am

Vicuna, I just went to your website. Very Excellent prints!!

9:00 am

munch, crunch... anyone wanna Mini Wheat?

9:00 am

Oh, thank you, godthaab!

9:00 am

I want FMs cake she's shut up about

yes, my head hurts...too much partying

9:01 am

anyone have a clue for the an's???

9:01 am

Mini-Wheat! Infidel! Booze and appetizers...

9:01 am

The only cure is another hair of the dog, AnnieO... have a Bloody Mary....

9:01 am

yes, Carlee... think of a baby version of what a ship lowers to stay in one spot

9:01 am

an* aweigh!

9:01 am

All these people paying compliments to Vicuna could be said to be fa7/36 - (Just found it in the grid <------over there)

thanks Scarlet...will do

9:02 am

you could dip the mini wheats into the booze..

9:02 am

thank you..was turning the wrong way...

9:02 am

yvw, carlee

9:03 am

why why why can't I find the E in the second row

9:03 am

Laughing so hard now... Mini-wheats in cocktails...we may start a nationwide sensation...

9:03 am

Ata, I served the cake, ckeck the log, don't know where you were hun

9:03 am

GRID?

9:03 am

*hovering over birhtday group with my 5 pound bag of tinfoil encased sugar*

9:03 am

BRB door.

9:03 am

drawing, probably :P

9:04 am

Atalante - it's a fishy sea bird in a Fermanagh Lough.

9:04 am

dc, I read about that flu... sending some chicken soup your way

you're all mad...so glad I found this site!

9:04 am

oh poo. I could swear I#d already added that

9:04 am

ty, aloy

9:04 am

dc, i do hope you feel better soon

9:04 am

Am I missing something Haz? I can't find an fa7/36

9:05 am

Luckily we don't offend easily, Annie. (Mark ANnieO as a trouble-maker)

9:05 am

another Annie, welcome to babbleland!

9:05 am

LOL, Annie... I see giant honeybees hovering over you hovering.

9:05 am

Sorry - fa7/56 - those who fa4/11

9:05 am

ty, anniebrook

9:05 am

what kinda word is that fo7? ends with what you put on a bed, newbie for me

9:05 am

Oh splendid, Haz! Thanks!

9:05 am

Frances it's f+the thing that overhans a store entrance or a balcony

thank u Annie, I'm worried about the bees Scarlet.

9:06 am

*puts asterisk next to annieoakley's name* does she take steroids? hmmm

9:06 am

You're welcome - and there are palm-wavers as well, fa7/40.

9:06 am

"Mad" she says... haven't you gone down the rabbithole with the rest of us, AnnieO? LOL

9:06 am

op5 cake would be a happy. so tired of being in the house.

I'm laughing so loudly, I've tears in my eyes (and it was my birthday 3 days ago!)

9:06 am

I am just a mere wrist-twister, Haz... learned it from Her Majesty...

9:06 am

oops, scratch that.. sorry.. won't do.. hunting

9:08 am

And the neighbours, Annie, can they hear you laughing?

9:08 am

Have you had any concerned looks or men in white coats hanging round the neighbourhood?

9:08 am

re7 anyone?

9:08 am

Well, belated Happy Birthday, AnnieO... and party hearty!! Mimosa? Aspirin?

9:09 am

carlee, to map again?

9:09 am

ooooh, mimonsas and aspriin :)

9:09 am

If so, a tinfoil hat is a good investment. Uniquity makes them and we all wear them, with or without sugar depending on our posture requirements.

9:09 am

re7 - re plus a map or what the doctor writes his notes on

9:10 am

ahh, found the booger fo7: ends with *** of the day to you!

9:10 am

Just don't get one of the tin foil hats made by Ata. Hers are doctored to allow her more easily to take over the world with her droid army.

9:10 am

thanks..there... am done...

Thank u Scarlet. Haz - can't u hear me...but there are some men outside in whitecoats...can't understand it...blue lights flashing too...

9:10 am

You mean Ata is part of a conspiracy?

9:10 am

yay for carleee!!!!!!!

9:10 am

Congrats, carlee!!

9:11 am

Just hide, Annie. It's the men from the Home for the Bewildered. They'll run out of patience and go away.

9:11 am

No. No conspiracy. She's in this plot all by herself.

9:11 am

Congratulations carlee!

9:11 am

Yipeety Yay for Kattie!! **Pom-Poms and more Mimosas to Canadian beauty!!**

9:11 am

9:11 am

yahoo... grabs carlees pompoms and twirls away.. wtg, carleekat!!!

9:11 am

Vic, is Hobbit her second in command?

9:11 am

Yay for carleekat!

Behind a chair now, head down... WELL DONE CARLEE

9:12 am

But where's the fun in being in a conspiracy by yourself? You need government ministers and ambulance drivers and judges in your pay to have any chance of success.

9:12 am

Hobbit is her secret weapon with her mesmerizing eye rays.

9:12 am

dipping another mini wheat...

9:12 am

thanks all... i looked at my stats other day...very sad... another casualty of "life" these days...

9:12 am

YOU cannot hide AnnieO... I have a really special tinfoil had... with tracking GPS installlations... HAH...you can run, but you............

9:12 am

Good girl, Annie. You learn quickly.

9:12 am

Look, Haz, I never said Ata was being rational about this!

9:12 am

(Remove the troublemaker label from AnnieO. She's one of us)

9:12 am

Kattie, it means nothing... just seeing you is the important thing... and you are baking again... good signs...

9:13 am

ok..so...*** tossing purple confetti*** then off to get some work done..will be back about noon babble time to clue

LOL

9:13 am

me? rational?

9:13 am

see ya, carlee.. (-:

9:13 am

ciao, carlee, njoy

9:13 am

welcome to the madness of babble annieo

9:13 am

~~~~~~ byebye~~~~~~

9:14 am

9:14 am

Never, Ata!

9:14 am

Bye carlee, see you later.

It's so much fun...thank you for good afternoon...

gm & gl y'all

9:14 am

where are you, annieO

9:14 am

Back again

9:14 am

So long sweet kattie!

9:14 am

Hello nance.

9:15 am

hints for the O or the R in the right-most column?

9:15 am

AnnieO...where are you...in reality?

9:15 am

wb, FMitch

hey haz

9:15 am

Anniebrook is obviously going to do a bit of observation on AnnieO - note her subtle questioning.

UK...land of weird Princess Di trials at present...!

wb mitch

9:15 am

what or where is reality?

9:15 am

re7 comes from that r.

But otherwise behind a chair still

9:15 am

is that a trick question Ata?

9:16 am

**Snagging sodden Mini-Wheats from Aloy**

9:16 am

its an interesting philosophical something

9:16 am

Oh dear. Ata has gone all philos phillosof questioning of life again.

9:16 am

So glad Scarlet wrote snagging....

9:16 am

Then YOU did it, AnnieO... FM is totally exonerated... finally... Free at last FMitch!!

9:16 am

LOL... Haz... sore stomach from laughingl...

9:16 am

the O word from the right is a babblet, me thinks... it means "ox"

9:17 am

as if. lol

9:17 am

see, Scarlet? not bad at all... mini wheatols!

9:18 am

yes, i am quite subtle. Who's snagging all the mini wheats? AnnieO, you can come out now!

9:18 am

are the tinfoil hats ciming from Foley's influence, or the 1950s?

R u sure..have they gone?

9:18 am

port

9:19 am

I thought the tinfoil hats were modern but what do I know?

9:19 am

Please see Haz's very subtle humor on that subject... I am still laughing...

9:19 am

ugh, rotten old mouse...pb

9:19 am

whereabouts in the UK, AnnieO?

9:19 am

Gosh, am I joining Ata in the philosa philosif... questioning of life?

9:19 am

Have updated my icon, hot from the oven so tp speak

Kent..the garden of England...or so they say...

9:19 am

have that one, nDan. off you go-----------> There is some lovely apple spice cake in the PB

9:20 am

oooo. whereabouts in Kent?

9:20 am

Tin foil hats have been known from the earliest days of human civilization (at least since the discovery of tin).

9:20 am

dont go near philosofy. its dangerous

9:20 am

AnnieO... follow the Yellow Brick Road to FM's kitchen... you will see giant mushrooms with the sign "Eat Me"....

In Tunbridge Wells.

Yummy Scarlet...they sound good...

9:21 am

Yummy FM

9:21 am

lol Scarlet

9:21 am

cool! you're about *thinks* 40 minutes from me :)

9:21 am

The cakes look great, FMitch.

9:21 am

I am back!

Where are u Ata?

9:21 am

Canterbury

Ata - I'm being stupid

9:22 am

Hi, BirthdayGirl!! We have been good whilst you were away... **snorfle**

9:22 am

I love Mushrooms

9:22 am

thank you Haz Frances will email you and Annie now.

9:22 am

yes, but warding off the evil x-rays of alien invaders & governments was big in the '50s; Foley from Artemis Fowl series is big on them

Oh, I'm not stupid, I thought u were joking wwith the Canadian flag

9:22 am

have you really?

9:22 am

Oh, really good, peri.

9:22 am

Thank you FM

Peri...the mU sHr OOMs Make u WEirD

9:23 am

No. **hangs head and staggers away... befuddled from alcohol-sodden Mini-Wheats...it's Aloy's fault**

who is the birthday girl?

9:23 am

I ate some mushrooms many years ago that did make me feel weird

9:23 am

YeSS, thEy Doooooo, AnnieO...

9:23 am

I am nance!!

9:23 am

Periwinkle is having her birthday celebrated for her.

9:23 am

Nance, it's peri!!

9:23 am

Happy Birthday to Peri! Here is a silly hat for you.

happy birthday & many more peri

9:24 am

hadn't seem them mentioned elsewhere until chipotles game to town [offered free burrito on halloween for anyone with tinfoil on] & then here...

9:24 am

Does peri have enough room for another silly hat? She's already got a five pound bag of sugar and a tinfoil hat there. Or she should have if she's taking her posture seriously.

9:24 am

thanks for the silly hat, Krista

9:24 am

Hello Krista, by the way.

9:25 am

I always take my posture seriously, Haz

9:25 am

hope the hat is purple..

hey krista

9:25 am

Hi, Krista

9:25 am

thanks nance

there r so many of y'all i can't keep up w/who is here

9:25 am

Read Wikipedia's article on tinfoil hats for all you might wish to know about them.

9:25 am

Hi nance. **Doing the nance-dance**

9:25 am

Happy Birthday--Go Peri!

9:25 am

YVW (it's my icon, btw)...hey all..beautiful sunny morning here

9:25 am

And so you should peri. Next year YOU may win the gold award for posture.

9:25 am

FM, have you sent the recipe? I checked and see no one from Babbleland

does the hat look like a mushroom? Peri likes mushrooms

9:26 am

But don't believe any of it -- Wikipedia is part of the conspiracy!

9:26 am

any clues for the g words? I have one 4/6...

9:26 am

I don't know - mushrooms are so last year.

9:26 am

Hi, Babs!!

Is that the Al Fayed conspiracy???!!!

9:26 am

What is the thrill du jour now, Haz?

9:26 am

happy bithday peri

9:26 am

ge5 and ge6 - French word for type as in film or book

9:27 am

what ge**** of music do you like, Babs?

9:27 am

Oh, conical hats in honour of Bejing's hosting of the Olympics.

9:27 am

Babs! I lost the paper with the name of that art therapy book on it. May I have it again, please?

9:27 am

thanks, aloy...that qualifies as a fish for me!

9:27 am

Another ge5 changes the vowel on the end of the 'type' word

9:27 am

Ack... don't remind me... the pollution alone will kill all our best athletes...

9:28 am

whacks Bab gently with a guppy

9:28 am

Krista...let me go look...was looking for the book the other day and have hidden it somehow!

9:28 am

Aloy... always so gentle... always!

9:28 am

Aloy! *shocked* There will be no guppy-whacking here! We are a family-friendly site!

9:28 am

tuff to grasp a guppy though

9:29 am

aloy, then use a halibut

9:29 am

oh just let 'er rip, aloy...don't know about these French words though...hmm...

9:29 am

well, Vi... Babs asked for it!

9:30 am

i'm switching to wet noodles

9:30 am

First three letters of an army title, first two letters of the colour that scarlet is a variety of.

9:30 am

Babs! *shocked* There will be no guppy-whacking here! We are a family-friendly site!

9:30 am

don't go to any trouble, Babs..it can wait..I know it had the word passion in it, and the authors names started with 'c'..thought I could find it with that info, but nope

9:30 am

Vicuna is easily shocked, isn't she?

9:30 am

indeed, haz

why under the tile stats r there multiple listings of the same letter such as O?

9:31 am

Haz! *shocked* How could you accuse me of sucha thing?

9:31 am

though we do usually pass the fish and allow people to wack themselves.

9:31 am

It's because I'm so MEAN, Vicuna!

9:31 am

nance, words are formed from the upper-rightmost tile they can start from

9:31 am

upper-leftmost rather

9:31 am

because there are multiple Os in the grid

9:31 am

Oh, is that it, Haz?

9:31 am

I am shocked that anyone here could be shocked.

9:32 am

the tile stats correspond to the grid, nance.. if there are three o's in the grid, there will be 3 O listings in the stats

9:32 am

seems like someone else is always doing it for me, Seain...saw you in the grid yesterday, btw

it's all shocking to me

ok thx all of u

9:32 am

hi, krista

9:32 am

Hazel is the Chief of Police...she will decide upon the degree of whacking or lack thereof

any help with the b's?

9:32 am

I know, it's not as if Vicuna hasn't been babbling for a while. You'd think she's have learned.

9:32 am

One of the downsides of these metal hats is that they do carry a charge a little too easily.

9:32 am

AnnieO, wherebouts are you, if i may ask?

9:32 am

Exactly Annie. WHACK AWAY!

9:32 am

hey ya..sorry you are still feeling poorly

9:33 am

Well, AnnieO... get your act together, gird your body with saran wrap, and lard in a goodly supply of tinfoil couture..

I only need one. i have 2 4s and a 5

UK - Kent.

Haz - did u send the whitecoats to me?

9:33 am

Dear goodness. I just had a flashback to Timmy Mallet shouting 'Whackaday!'. I think I need to lie down.

9:33 am

Thank you FM. Got the recipe. I cook with gas too.

What behind the chair Scarlet?

9:34 am

You guys have been partying too much! Can hardly keep up with you...and still working on the g words and finding the book for Krista!

9:34 am

No, Annie. As Chief of Police my powers are limited. Caitlyn is the first aid person. Or you could just blame FM. Everyone else does.

9:34 am

NO Chairs! NO hiding! Take it like a Babbler, AnnieO...

9:34 am

if you put an L in the front of the babblet that means ox, you get lo5.18 and that means "loose"... h'mm

9:35 am

Yay Frances,That was quick :)

Did you send the whitecoats FM?

9:35 am

Babs... you're actually doing the grid? What a concept...

9:35 am

going to look for recipe again

9:35 am

Peri, do you have special birthday plans (other than the wonderful festivities, here, obviously)?

9:35 am

I forget which babblet means ox :(

9:36 am

what grid, scarlet? rofl

lol krista

9:36 am

*quietly rolls up in pile of while coats huming Wackaday and hopes no-one notices*

9:36 am

Peri, if it started with d it would mean finding water witha stick.

I've girded my body with saran wrap, and larded it in a goodly supply of tinfoil couture..what now? It hasn't helped me find words?

9:36 am

my sister is taking me to lunch today and one of my nieces is taking me out to lunch on Sat

9:36 am

Krista!! Life, Paint and Passion by Michell Cassou and Stewart Cubley...rescued from the car...

9:36 am

ow4.8 means ox, Peri

9:36 am

I forgot what a bablet was...uh oh.

FM - can u send them away pleeeeez?

9:37 am

ok, thanks Vicuna, have that, didn't know the meaning of the ow8 though

9:37 am

Wait a second! Those weren't REAL white-coat people frightening AnnieO. They were FM and her minions in disguise! Oh what a cruel joke, FM!

So I really CAN come out?

9:37 am

Thanks so much for the trouble, Babs! I appreciate it.....sounds lovely, Peri..I like when birthdays get spread out a bit

9:37 am

a babblet is a weirdo word that becomes familiar because it appears often in the grid, Babs... so you learn to recognize it..

9:37 am

always, annieo!

9:37 am

They've alll run for their lives from my home, Vicuna... exhausted from my slapdown with Doctor Phil...

9:38 am

me too :-)

9:38 am

ywis, etwee/etui, ceorl, among others, are bobblets

9:38 am

*Haz, Haz where are you .. help me ... come and rescue me.... where are my pretty pink pills?*

9:38 am

Sure, come on out and dance on the lawn in your tinfoil and saran wrap! No one will raise an eyebrow!

phew...thank u DC

9:38 am

bobblets, ha ha

9:38 am

not around here, no... not one raised eyebrow

9:38 am

bobblets dc??

I'm in the garden now Vic, but the neighbours are laughing at me...

9:39 am

Sorry. I was letting the grid interfere with the party.

9:39 am

you must have a fever, dc

9:39 am

yes, saw my typo, decided it wasn't worth fixing :)

9:39 am

do most people make martinis with gin or vodka these days?

9:39 am

Just your imagination, AnnieO. Pull that tin foil hat down low and ignore them.

9:39 am

today, no, just medicinal haze, which is nearly is good

9:39 am

thanks aloy!

9:39 am

Haz... that is so unlike you...

9:40 am

peri, I think your name should have been in the grid today, I mean, you appear in the grid lots of times and today is your special day...

9:40 am

I think so too, Aloy

9:40 am

I know. I'm deeply ashamed.

9:40 am

dc - would that be a purple haze???

9:40 am

close but no cigar, Aloy

9:40 am

peri, most use vodka. i prefer gin myself.

9:40 am

In my defence I did find two words.

9:41 am

LOL... FM... A Jimy reference... I love it!!

9:41 am

well, I don't have either here, just wondering what to buy at the wine and spirits store

9:41 am

All of it, peri.

9:41 am

well, two meds are red, and one is plue, so yes, a purple haze

9:41 am

haha, Scarlet, don't have much money here

lol scarlet

9:42 am

(i did get ur reference, just felt a need to reply literally)

9:42 am

Steal it.

9:42 am

lol

9:42 am

Faints

9:42 am

FEints./

9:42 am

would love to buy champagne but my sister drinks less than me and I can't drink a whole bottle by myself all at one time

9:42 am

Miss Scarlet!!!

9:42 am

*passes Haz the smelling salts*

9:43 am

peri, Cavas are just a good, and a lot cheaper for the same quality

that's ok - drink as much as u can - that's always a treat

9:43 am

ok, no more sodden mini wheats for Scarlet... she has had too many..

9:43 am

Cavas come from around Barcelona

9:43 am

now, now, Scarlet

9:43 am

Oh.... lost my head for a moment... must be the loaded Mini-Wheats...it's Aloy's fault...

9:43 am

I think I need George Clooney to bring me back to my senses. Could someone fetch him?

9:43 am

Cavas?

9:43 am

i'm hungry. i worder if there's any non-soup food i want to eat.

9:43 am

FM has him again, Haz... he is otherwise occupied... something about warm cake...

9:43 am

Sure, Haz. I'll run down to the beach and see if he's wandering mournfully again. Hang on!

9:44 am

peri you dont have to drink it all in one go. Once opened return to fridge and pop a teaspoon into the neck of the bottle. It stops it going flat.

9:44 am

I can't recommend dipped Mini-wheats, dc. Not combined with your drugs.

9:44 am

sure, sure, blame the Aloy.. Scarlet, you are on a Mini Wheat diet from now on

Can I share with u Haz?

9:44 am

Cava is sparking wine made by methode champaignoise in caves - hence the name - in Catalunya.

9:44 am

I have seen George for days, he went walk about throught he was wiith Haz?

9:44 am

i have puffed kamut and some flaxen cereal or other. hm.

9:44 am

Sorry, Annie. George is not for sharing although others (pretenders and hangers-on) have tried.

9:44 am

Oh, I will look for some Cavas then sean, thanks

9:45 am

Dear goodness. Can nobody look after that man except me?

9:45 am

Some decent Cavas are as good as champagne at a fraction of the costs

9:45 am

FM, really? never heard of that trick.

I gues that's why you're head of the police, and I'm a mere mortal...

9:45 am

Okay, Haz, I found him in a lonely cave writing bad poetry. he says he's on his way as soon as he finds a rhyme for "heart."

9:45 am

I am afraid not... Haz, you really must do a better job of reining that man in...

9:45 am

It is called Cavas in the store or is there a brand name I should look for

9:45 am

That's it, Annie. You don't get to this position without a few perks thrown in.

9:46 am

****Snort*** Vi, you have had too many mini-wheats now...

9:46 am

Yup, once quaffing is done, put bottle in fridge door and drop soon into neck. et voila!

9:46 am

Vic it's in the grid. Starts with F

9:46 am

or should I just ask for Spanish Sparkling wine?

9:46 am

Vicuna - tell him ch5/14 - you're high up on my pop ch5/14

9:46 am

Vino! Vino!

if you ever dispose or tire of him, remember me...

9:46 am

what about the cork or top to the wine?

9:46 am

Join the queue, Annie, join the queue;.

9:46 am

Yeah, he said that had already been suggested by several babblers, but he was hoping for something a little more expressive of the uplifting passion he felt for Haz. *shrug*

9:47 am

Ask them what Cavas they have peri and ask for a recommendation

9:47 am

yes, what FMitch said

9:47 am

(I refer to the f- rhyme. Maybe I should tell him the ch- rhyme, though.)

9:47 am

good morning, enjoyed the chat the other day so I thought I would join in today,how is everyone?

open it outside - i opened champagne once & the cork flew into the next yard

9:48 am

Vicuna! I'm shocked!

hey daisy

hello Daisy

9:48 am

hi daisy!

9:48 am

hi nance, and all, nance did you enjoy the race?

9:48 am

peri, loosen the cage, gently remove the cage and cork together, away from your face and things that could break. Easiest to do with your hand over the top of it, wiggling it out gently.

9:48 am

Well, Haz, how many times do I have to tell you not to stick your finger in the electrical outlet!

9:48 am

FM, just printed the recipe for the apple cake, thanks! are we still having alchol laced mini wheats....gooody, very healthful

always twist the bottle, not the cork, slurp

i did daisy & u?

9:49 am

Some day I'll listen to you, Vicuna.

9:49 am

peri, make sure bottle is well chilled and then grasp the cork firmly and turn the bottle - no the other way around

9:49 am

Daisy!! Join the party!

now u tell me dc - lol

9:49 am

hi, daisy

9:49 am

If I don't drink it all do I just put the spoon in the top without the cork

9:49 am

If you are holding the cork and turning the bottle the cork cant fly off anywhere

9:49 am

yes the race was a little slow in the beginning but the end is always so exciting no matter who wins

9:49 am

yes peri

what does a spoon do?

9:50 am

Runs away with a dish, of course, nance!

9:50 am

It dances with the fork before they run to the moon, nance... everyone knows that!

9:50 am

okay,

9:50 am

okay, FM

9:50 am

That sppon was never any good.

9:51 am

now you are all getting silly, or should I say sillier

i'm happy rocket man won again

lol scarlet

9:51 am

Bad family background.

9:51 am

i have a vacuum sealer that presurizes the botttle, but i drink a lot of wine. Which reminds me, i need to 'cellar' shop.

9:51 am

(Scarlet, I think we'd better compare notes, here. We need to get our story straight.)

9:51 am

I sense a conspiracy!

9:51 am

I used to dc, talking about it is as near as I get now.

9:51 am

dc is there any cavas that you would recommend. I like something sweeter than the norm

9:51 am

great strategy at the end when kurt busch gave him a nice shove

9:51 am

I have a whopping 68 words found... this has been quite a fun party... LOL, Vi... you are the accurate one... I am the purple haze...

it was

9:52 am

still have 112 to find

boy smoke fell back didn't he?

200 left 2 find 4 me

9:52 am

get anything demi-sec then, peri

9:52 am

Hello daisy, keep getting sidetracked.

9:52 am

krista?? are you still here in the party--or did you crash from too much champagne...get the book title?

9:52 am

Scarlet, we'll have to work on your multi-tasking.

9:52 am

yes and he looked better too, looks like he shaved a little .

9:52 am

demi-sec, ok, never heard that term

9:53 am

Freixinet is the most widely available brand. Most marks will make a variety of dryness from brut to semi-seche, which is usually, but not always, the sweetest.

9:53 am

Too late, Haz... it is a fatal flaw...

lol he did

9:53 am

hi again to all, nice to be with you

mayb he's letting his hair grow until he wins a race

9:53 am

or semi-seche if thats the US speak :D

9:53 am

brb phone

9:53 am

Scarlet, switch to dipping your mini wheats in coffee.. the words will magically appear..

9:53 am

People at the shop should be able to guide you to something in your taste- and budget-range

9:53 am

Must pop out for a bit! Party on Garth!

9:54 am

IF THAT 'S GEORGE, FM, TELL HIM HE HAS FIVE MINUTES TO GET HERE!

9:54 am

yes, Babs...you must have missed my thanks with all the partying going on. :) I appreciate your going to look for it!

9:54 am

Ata, catalá not francais :P

9:54 am

LOL, Aloy... I am permanently off mini-wheats...

9:54 am

Last one

9:54 am

Goodbye, Scarlet, dude.

9:54 am

Clue for the second ar4/4?

9:54 am

Must dash. Have lots to do. Will be back later to finish. Carry on parting.........enjoy.

9:54 am

He must love bossy women...

9:54 am

LOL it i him

9:54 am

thanks for the advice, will take a break now too.

9:54 am

oh :D that makes sense. duh

9:54 am

You can't just throw Wayne's World quotes out there like Scarlet..it's dangerous!

9:54 am

ar4/4 - an anagram of the first. Impolite nether regional name

9:54 am

see ya, Scarlet.. need to finish up too as company is a-coming.. have a great day, Scarlet.. (-:

9:55 am

I'm glad I can't drink wine, sometimes...too much to know...ROFL at Scarlet's Wayne impersonation

9:55 am

Clue for the 2nd ar4/4?

9:55 am

bbl

9:55 am

jayde, get up off your ar4 and look for it LOL

9:55 am

HAz he apologieses and I have leant him the jet so he will be back tonight

9:55 am

Schwingggg!!!

9:55 am

Oh Duh! Thanks Haz and Dc

I was unable to do my MRI today because I didn't get pre-approval from my insurance.I did not know I had to do that.I was very annoyed when I found that out

5:03 pm

that stinks Min

5:04 pm

preapproval?????

5:04 pm

insurance companies seem to run the US medical system

5:04 pm

( I am so ignorant when it comes to ur health system there )

5:04 pm

I went to an ENT doctor and he wrote a referral for a biopsy. When I called to make the appt, they said I had to bring them mages of my cat scan on disk first.

5:04 pm

i guess i need ot watch sicko

5:05 pm

I went to an ENT doctor and he wrote a referral for a biopsy. When I called to make the appt, they said I had to bring them images of my cat scan on disk first

5:06 pm

Had you had a CT scan Min?

5:06 pm

hi all, back to finish my last 11 words

Krista what did you want? I have a headache and half a brain today

Min that sucks

5:06 pm

gogogo crp

5:06 pm

Hi crpw !

5:06 pm

Hi...I'm back for a little while. And just in time to comment on our wonderful medical insurance BS in this great country! It STINKS!!!!

5:06 pm

Gotta go! Be back soon!

HI loriann and CRPW

5:07 pm

you would think the doc would have known what was required and supplied the necessary

5:07 pm

hi lori

5:08 pm

Hows the health system in Canada Jilli?

5:08 pm

our health system is far from perfect..but after all we went through this fall... I am so grateful...kevin had several cat scans etc...and without...well..i have no idea how everything would have turned out..he got the surgery he needed when it was needed...and I didn't have to sell the homestead to get it

5:08 pm

LOL. jilli, I just came back from a daughter call...you are welcome!!

5:08 pm

hello people.... for once I have good news..... My Sister is getting Married !!

5:08 pm

we have to wait a bit...( couple days maybe...) but priority is always those who are worst off

AUSSSSSSSSSSIEEEE yah

5:08 pm

i think canada's is probably the best... which not to say it's perfect by any means but when it comes to health services there's no such thing as perfect.

5:08 pm

I had just asked Peri and Min something..no big deal.

5:09 pm

Congrats to Aussie's sister !!

5:09 pm

Thanks for the hug, {{{Herin}}}.

5:09 pm

Jilibus it unfortunatly is supposed to be the patients responsibility to know what to do in all situations. As if worrying about what is going on with us medically is not enough!

5:09 pm

Krista, did I miss something?

5:09 pm

hi aussieme, thats great for your sister, so you like the fiance

Sorry Krista my brain is or has evaporated. It was 82 f over night

5:10 pm

I know, I am excited..... Spetember 19th.... yeah, they have been together 11 years, and have 3 children.....

5:10 pm

I found a veiw out my window from last spring. Will it show up in my icon?

5:10 pm

lynxxx -- I think our system is GREAT. Sure, some people have to wait for hip replacements and such, and that can be very painful, but overall it works.

5:10 pm

Nothing important, just joking with you..asked if you are missing your bday dinner to finish the grid.

5:10 pm

lori it's the pointy side of being an 'informed' patient... the idea of informed consent to medical procedures has turned into passing the responsibility buck back to the patient.

5:10 pm

inge, your icon is black

5:10 pm

Aussie dear~!~ That is wonderful news? Did you give up hope, LOL?

5:10 pm

Well, I'd better tear myself away from the grid or I'll never sleep. G'night all.

5:10 pm

kevin was sent to 1 hospital..triaged...flown by helicopter to better hospital... had surgery within 12 hours of accident... and inhospital for 5 days with own personal nurse...then moved and moved to specialty hospital for world class care...

5:10 pm

didn't see the question and no, I love babble, but I wouldn't miss a dinner with friends

5:11 pm

I can see it when I look at yourprofile Inge...what soirt of blossom is that? it is glorious

5:11 pm

I had done, its been a long time coming.....

5:11 pm

Happy Birthday peri my dear.....

5:11 pm

it's often said here that the more urgent/critical your health issue, the better your care, which is a good thing... but if you're waiting for elective procedures it means you're constantly pushed down the list.

5:11 pm

They are marrying on the eve of my 63rd birthday, Aussie... how is my cyber granddaughter these days?

5:12 pm

Awwwww, she is just fine and dandy.....

5:12 pm

thanks you Aussieme, and congrats to your sister

5:12 pm

well, I give up. Why do some pics show up black? This one shows up oerfectly in my profile

5:12 pm

well, better get babbling, havent found a word yet.....

5:12 pm

inge, I can see your whitetail deer.

5:12 pm

good luck, aussie -- the words come pretty thick and fast

5:13 pm

hey, September 19th is our daughter's anniversary

5:13 pm

aww, thats nice inge.... it must be a lucky day...

Inge I have found that interuping the uplink of the icon stuffs it

5:13 pm

I will change the icon latr, now I need to cook supper. *poof*

hi all -- nice big fat grid again i see 8-D

5:14 pm

Congrats to your sister Aussieme....I just had the honer of being asked to be the matron of honer for my lifetime friend. This will be her second marraige and what a wonderful man she has found herself. I'm so happy for her!

5:14 pm

thanks jilli, I have my fingers crossed for a good lot of words tonight....

5:14 pm

inge, I see your flowering tree in your profile, but not a whitetailed deer and in the chat it's black -- weird. Sometimes the black means the pic file is too big but then it doesn't show in the profile either.

5:14 pm

thanks lori.....

5:14 pm

5:45 pm

oh good, i'm not alone Herin lol

5:46 pm

Hi, Elsh!! Doing great!]

5:46 pm

fine Elsh, and you ?

5:46 pm

I'm alright, dealing with my bratty cat but other than that ok. XD

HI Elsh

5:47 pm

hey infernal

OH my gosh. How the hell can a parent just let a child run about on a plane for 20 hours. That is just a b.s cop out. The kid was 2 if you are on a plane for 20 plus hours wouldn't you have a travel plan?

5:49 pm

That sounds crazy, infernal. I don't like irresponsible parents.

5:50 pm

how many words tonight

5:50 pm

People, I think, must bond with the letters or risk resistentialism. After all, letters form words. How would you feel if you were a word and people were labeling you abnormal or weird?

5:50 pm

263 AE

5:50 pm

Thank you

This morning a person bitched about Jetstar being the worst for people with kids. They have always been wonderfull. All prams and kids on first and they have extended the boarding time for one woman as her kids had to wizz at the last min.

5:50 pm

I have been so accused, BR-r...

5:50 pm

I remain unfazed...

5:51 pm

It's annoying when a company gets bad rep because of a bad customer.

5:52 pm

Hey peeps, wasn't this a lovely little grid today? I finished just now.

5:52 pm

WEll done, Weegee!!

5:52 pm

Yay weegee.....

5:52 pm

congrats, weegee

5:52 pm

People assume companies can control customers with superpowers.

I have flown more times with that company and they are great. Its seems to me that its an all about me complex. shit i wouldn't want to fly 20 plus hours why would i do it to a kid. I would be pissy myself for that length of time

5:53 pm

Oooh, are we sharing bad customer service stories, or awful flight stories?

5:53 pm

yeah, sounds about right, infernal.

Oh Elsh heres a funny one for you I was menaced by a small child the other week. He kept threatening to hit me till i spun around and growled ' I hit harder' gosh knows where the parents are.

5:54 pm

hahaha! XD

Weegee i was saying there was this dumb arse buisness flyer with their 2 year old on a 20 plus flight kid being a terror and their like oh well what can you do'

5:55 pm

I looooove toddlers! I ask them to tell me a story and the responses are often hysterical. Most just want to be paid attention to, something many parents, sadly, no longer do

5:56 pm

before they're out of diapers though, you can keep them

5:56 pm

Yeah, I don't have kids yet (if ever) because I want to be a good parent. I'm not sure I would be and I would want to be sure. People just pop out kids without thinking about it.

That is cute. I remember signing the Song the ants go marching one by one and the little one stopped to?? and then they insert the rest and one of the kids went ' scratch his bum' i was trying not to laugh

5:57 pm

well, the rhyme was spot on!!

IT was. There is so many good parents with great kids but you always hear about the stupid parents

5:59 pm

Yeah. There are a lot of stupid parents too though.

5:59 pm

...the stupid parents seem most fond of taking their children out in public, probably because they're tired of dealing with them at home

6:00 pm

indeed

There was this lady at Mcdonalds the other day *i was getting coffee and toast* and her kids were going mental outside and her friend turned up and she collapsed into her friends arms going 'help me' it was quite funny from my point of view

6:02 pm

I found 100 words !!!!! 163 to go, go me !!

GO AUSSIE

6:02 pm

oh! oh! oh! Priscilla Presley and Marlee Matlin are going to be on Dancing with the Stars! I didn't used to watch but my mom's a fan so I started watching

REbecca, did that help? If not, try pushing your shopping **** in the grocery store, add a vowel to the end...

6:07 pm

LOL, Aussie...

6:08 pm

LOL, yes, weeg... good memory, except for finding the oddball words that show up every six months... some of them just delight me, so I recall them,... others are just so wrong on every level... LOL

6:08 pm

6:22 pm

6:26 pm

Isn't every toxin known to mankind in McDonald's food? LOL

hey, jaia

Um i think the food is so highly proccesed it balances out

6:27 pm

macdonalds? how awful.. I used to take my chowchow there once a week for a "cheeseburger, no onions & no wrapper, please" and the drive up folks would fight over who'd get to hand it to him. He'd start barking at the little order thingee and not stop until he got that burger!

I have a party to go to on Sunday so instead of being rude and not eating the cake and stuff im making vegan cupcakes so i can eat something

OH cute

6:28 pm

Here goes- now, this is a clue...What do asthmatics and little puppies do in common?

***Holding breath***

6:28 pm

my black kitty saw 'cat' in the grid and is now sitting with her front feet at the keyboard, making me type around her

I hate MickeyD. Last summer when I was fighting a nasty case of cellulitis, I did go there for fish sammiches a few times because in this part of the good ol' US it's one of only 2 fast food joints that have fish sammiches on the menu 12 months/year, and I was craving them

7:14 pm

Hi April

7:14 pm

thanks! your turn or mine to start?

7:15 pm

hi scrabbler. I like your icon.

7:15 pm

When something is impo**ant, it has impo8. (the noun)

7:15 pm

It is your turn, featherbee.

7:15 pm

ah, ty, easy clue!

7:15 pm

*!*~*!* ta da *!*~*!*

7:16 pm

Yippee Nan!

7:16 pm

yay nan!

7:16 pm

TY, April. I have bunnies for pets and my favorite color is green.

7:17 pm

i have a pet turtle who is mostly green ;)

7:17 pm

could someone clue ah6 for me please?

7:17 pm

What is his/her name?

7:17 pm

a + equine

7:18 pm

TY, Nan. I always forget that word is a word.

7:18 pm

Poseidon. he's actually too young to know if he's male or female yet, but for all intents and purposes he has a male identity for now

7:18 pm

thanks nan!

7:18 pm

could someone help me with fo 744

7:18 pm

My bunny Callie was Calvin for a few months and then I had to emotionally and mentally adjust to the correct gender.

7:19 pm

are you unable to tell with rabbits when they're little, or were you misinformed?

7:20 pm

turtles don't have X and Y chromosomes like mammals do, so you really have to wait until they're older. And it's cool because if the eggs are one temperature when incubating they'll be males and another temperature yields females, then there's kind of a middle area where you get a mix.

7:20 pm

tceicher - different spelling of the number between 3 & 5 + not on the bottom on the ***

7:21 pm

Scrabb, Guten Abend. What is the term you use when a pet has died? The rainbow bridge one I need

7:23 pm

Did I end up in the middle of a sex education session?

7:23 pm

scrabs, if you'd done rug where hae is, you would have won. it would have put you up to 338, and i was at 312. there's no way i could have made up the difference even with the triple.

7:23 pm

sorry, i don't mean to be super nerdy like that *buries nose in puzzle*

7:25 pm

OK - the one that is killing me is the last aw 4/8 - I realize there are 4 of them, but its killing me

7:27 pm

aw4/8 last one goes over your window without the "ing" ending, but plural

7:27 pm

aw 4: when something belongs to you you O*** it, change the o to a

7:27 pm

oh, and make it plural

7:27 pm

I AM a supernerd, April!

7:27 pm

really?

7:28 pm

yay!!!

7:28 pm

Inge---yes, there is a poem called the rainbow bridge. **hoping Snoopy and Nikita are OK*

7:28 pm

TY!!! Somehow I am totally crosseyed - muchos gracias!

7:29 pm

Guten Abend, Freundin, do you remember me?

7:29 pm

Oh, man, Featherbee! I agonized over that decision!!!

7:29 pm

they are fine, it is one of our birds who didnt get up this morning

7:30 pm

sorry! shoulda kept quiet!

7:30 pm

but at the time, with no knowledge of what i had, it was a good choice

7:32 pm

scrabbler, does your nerdiness ever cause you awkward moments?

7:32 pm

((birdie))--how old and what was its name, Inge?

7:33 pm

Sometimes April! But my friends know I am a nerd/geek/dork.

7:34 pm

featherbee--I almost counted up the remaining tiles so that I would know what you had and what words you could make. It was a tough decision and I had to make a choice.

7:37 pm

these ca words are going to be the death of me

7:37 pm

I'd thought I'd come back for an hour or so, then bed

grid seemed pretty easy to me today. I got all but 8 without going to the word lists

8:10 pm

I thought I'd come back for an hour or so, then supper, lol!

well, jilli, your clock is 2 hours behind mine :D

and when I do lie down, I usually can't sleep more than 3 hours at a time

8:11 pm

Hi everyone!

8:11 pm

I got over 200 words last night a bit after fliptime -- best I've ever done

8:12 pm

hello dawg!

hey, dawg

8:13 pm

Hi Jilli, Hi tyger

8:13 pm

tyger, I'm a nightowl and even so have a hard time getting to sleep -- usually wake at 4am with thoughts buzzing around

8:13 pm

hi jilli, hi tyger, hi lbd, hi all!!

hey, natts

8:13 pm

Hi Lady

8:14 pm

I'm a nightowl too, jilli, but I hafta try to sleep at different times

8:14 pm

and ladynatts

8:14 pm

8:15 pm

I am back--was typing a letter. And I took my turn in Scrabble, featherbee.

I canNOT sleep all nite, I get leg cramps, and I have to get up - and stay up - for at least a couple of hours beofre I can go back to sleep

8:15 pm

the monkeys are on a writers' strike - as are my brain cells - er 4/4 - 2nd one?

WB, scrabs

8:15 pm

figures...first time i'm here in aeons and it's a humungus grid...rofl

8:15 pm

oh dear, tyger!

8:15 pm

That sounds absolutely awful, tyger!

8:16 pm

hi jilli...feather...scrab...tyg..angela, et al

ang, start from the e at the bottom of the grid, you should see the other word then

it's not fun, but I've adapted

hey, cath

8:16 pm

Come one, Cathy, you have 3+ hours to find 263 words.

8:16 pm

Sometimes I take an acetominophen and it helps

8:16 pm

hiya Cathy!

8:16 pm

evening, everyone

8:16 pm

hi Cath!

8:16 pm

I started CPAP in Nov and I have never slept better!

hey, nat

8:16 pm

rofl...no chance tonight...i'm off to bed soon...just was missing babblin with y'all

8:17 pm

and Natasha

8:17 pm

Hi Natasha

8:17 pm

Hi scrabs! Hi Nat, Hi Feather!

the only thing that helps me is tonic water (blech), and that not immediately

8:17 pm

hi lbd! jilli!!! :)

8:17 pm

awww, cath :D

8:17 pm

natasha

cath, jilli was just telling us that she got 200 words almost immediately after flip last nite

8:18 pm

can someone clue me the fo7, 44?

and I got all but 8 before going to word lists

8:18 pm

omgosh!!! jilli!

8:18 pm

tyger, fizzy things (except champagne, lol) give me the hiccups, lol

8:18 pm

yay jilli!!! wow

8:18 pm

I don't even have 200 word yet and I was here this morning for my first run-through.

8:18 pm

well, NOT immediately!

fo7 is a compound word 2nd fo4/7 + not the bottom, but the ***

tyger, my hubby had problems with leg cramps then he heard about taking magnesium tablets and that has really helped

8:19 pm

I just got my new glasses tonight and I am adjusting to them.

Jilli, I'd never tasted tonic water until my Dr. told me to try it for the cramps

8:19 pm

The final L word?

8:19 pm

rofl....that's ok scrab...i have 5 ...but have been chatting more than searching

8:19 pm

hell.... ty tyger

8:19 pm

it took 2 hours to get the 200+

8:19 pm

But in like 20 minutes, right, Jill?

magnesium & potassium tabs help me some, Luv, but not enough

yw, natts :) I had to get help with it, too

oh, sorry to hear it

8:20 pm

vah, add a vowle to the previous word

8:20 pm

lol jilli..that's good tho....a word a minute average? hey!!!

LOL, jilli - a great clue

8:20 pm

a vowel too

8:21 pm

no....wait...less than a word a minute...duh me

8:21 pm

ah, thanks!

8:21 pm

sorry - I think I missed the clue - hubby just came stumbling in after falling on the ice. Poor little bunky!

I came in here asking for a mess of smelt to go with the clue for the 2nd er4 :P

8:21 pm

Uh, oh, is he OK?

8:21 pm

very funny, tyger, hah

8:22 pm

yeah, just a little bumped up on his hip and shoulder

8:22 pm

send that smely my way :)

well, my son's a fish lover like I am (and a fisherman), and he doesn't remember my feeding him smelt when he was a kid

8:22 pm

I have so much trouble whenI get new lenses, scrabs. Good luck!

8:22 pm

ew - isn't that child abuse???

8:22 pm

tyger, you did get that er4, didn't you?

can't get it down here - it's a Great Lakes thing

8:22 pm

I need new glasses, I realized recently.

oh, yes, jilli. hours ago :)

that's how I could tell natts where to look to find it :)

8:23 pm

It takes a few days to adjust--I have progressive multifocals.

8:23 pm

I need a cataract op, hmpf

8:23 pm

I have progressives and they took 10 days...

8:23 pm

Yuck, Jill.

I have no lines trifocals, but hafta take them off to read extensive text

8:23 pm

what are progressives?

(((jilli)))

8:24 pm

Hmm -- Barack wins Wisconsin, says NBC

8:24 pm

I also have to get the right fit on my nose and ears.

8:24 pm

I put off the progressives until 18 months ago--used to read beneath my glasses, LOL

I was told 2 years ago that I've got cataracts started. my grampa had them really bad

8:24 pm

sheesh

8:24 pm

no prob with cataract ops, my elderly pals tell me

8:25 pm

finally got that er 4... sigh

yeah. it's not the big deal it useta be

8:25 pm

nat--bi-or tri-focals --and various other combinations--without the lines or circles

8:25 pm

natasha--instead of lines for bi- or trifocals, they are progressive from distance vision on top, to computer distance in the middle, to reading distance at the bottom.

very good, ang

8:25 pm

I LOVE my progressives!!!

8:25 pm

thank you all for your patience!

8:26 pm

ahhh...wonder when I'll have to get those. I'm nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other, so my prescription is a bit strange.

8:26 pm

I am lucky, scrabs--my computer and reading are the same. And, I wear my readers at work when I am writing extensively...

oww, nat

8:26 pm

my mom has those. took her a bit to get used to them, but she likes them now

8:26 pm

Nat -- mine is strange too, very unbalanced

8:27 pm

i like my progressives, i just wish those who print up the labels on things would use a bit bigger print. I swear they are getting smaller and smaller!

8:27 pm

I have had progressive for 3 1/2 yrs, but this is a new prescription.

8:27 pm

dawg, new glasses coming up!

my left eye is far more near-sighted than my right, but I've got an astigmatism in the rt.

8:27 pm

Amazing how many of us have glasses!

8:27 pm

must be all the reading

probably so, nat :)

8:28 pm

jilli, yeah new prescription is needed, but even those who have good eyesight have been complaining on how small the tiny print is!

or maybe it's the predilection for it?

8:28 pm

tyger, we are almost the same, but my astig is in the left

ctrl+ increases print size on the computer, for those who didn't know

8:29 pm

true, dawg -- some labes are in 2pt, I swear

8:29 pm

labels

8:29 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

8:29 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

hey, min, howarya? :)

8:29 pm

hi, min

8:29 pm

LOL, nat. Wearing them since I was 2.5 or 3... needed them sooner

8:30 pm

hi again, min!

8:30 pm

NICE ICON, MIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:30 pm

wow that's early pam.

glasses since age 9, definitely needed them earlier

8:30 pm

Hi Min! welcome to the grid

8:30 pm

Yeah, I had a lot of problems seeing... Still have LOUSY depth perception

8:31 pm

oh, min -- hadn't refreshed! Is that the view from your window, lol?

8:32 pm

Pam do you mean it or are you being sarcastic. Hope I do not offend anyone with this icon, as I said in my profile. I wore a t-shirt today saying the same thing.

8:33 pm

i like the icon, Min!

8:33 pm

love the icon Min - so true

8:34 pm

I didn't know I was nearsighted until I was about 17 -- people thought I was being a snob because I didn't recognise them across the road.

8:34 pm

I like your icon, Minveryork. I would like to have a sign with that quote and flash it in front of mean people.

8:34 pm

Think I should change it to medical red tape sucks as I found out today.Could not get MRI done because of non-preapproval from insurance company.That sucks

min, I think most people agree. don't worry about the icon, okay? :)

8:34 pm

even with your rather emergent situation Min??

8:34 pm

insurance companies are run by mean people that's why they suck!

8:34 pm

Your doc should have done that before you even made your appt for the MRI, Min.

8:34 pm

That was really rotten, min, as I expressed earlier today.

8:35 pm

Hear hear, scrab

8:35 pm

LOL lbdawger! :=)

aww, bummer. so sorry you had that inconvenience, min

8:35 pm

What is your situation, if I amy ask, Min? You do not have to discuss it if you don't want to.

8:35 pm

Well, there's more to the story, but won't get into it.

8:36 pm

Good luck, Minveryork! I hope everything works out well!

8:36 pm

I just assumed it would be emergent with an MRI - didn't mean to pry Min

we all wish you the best, Min

8:37 pm

MIN--I have a button with that saying. it was HUGE at dead shows years ago and was popular in my crowd, too! So, no, was NOT being sarcastic. The other one I love: Your Hate Becomes You.

8:37 pm

I'll drink to that, Min (hic!)

8:37 pm

Scrabbler, I had an accident a week ago where I was pinned between a city bus and my car. Had x-rays & cat scans done. I didn't break or fracture anything, but in the x-rays and cat scans they found 2 masses.

8:38 pm

I had a CT scan that the referral was misplaced on... GRRRRRR. But, the doc straightened it out

8:38 pm

oof, min!

8:39 pm

I didn't realize - thought the MRI was related to the bus/car incident... :(

8:39 pm

I guess I could call the accident a blessing in disguise

sure sounds like it, but what a way to find out! :(

8:39 pm

Never would have known about the masses otherwise

8:40 pm

min--curious? what was today's icon theme?

8:40 pm

Some things are found fortuitously, Minveryork, although it certainly isn't feeling that way for you now. Lungs? Or where?

well, know that we care, min.

8:40 pm

scrab, is it not so that sometimes masses are meaningless?

8:41 pm

((Minveryork))---wishing you peace until this is resolved.

8:41 pm

Today's icon theme is"out your bedroom window" pam

8:41 pm

we will all be sending good thoughts your way for sure!

hello hello hello all

8:41 pm

Yes, they may be old calcifications from prior infections. Sarcoidosis. TB.

8:41 pm

thanks, min...

8:41 pm

Hello christy8376! How are you? Welcome to the grid

8:41 pm

not just your bedroom -- just out your window (could be your soul?)

ty minerv

8:42 pm

oooo... I missed that... have to change, because I've got one for that

8:42 pm

Have one is in my thyroid&one in my pelvis Scrabbler.

8:42 pm

Whatever happens, Minveryork, you will deal with it and move on, with all of us on the path with you!

8:42 pm

out my window? aggravating streetlights...

hey, chris

8:43 pm

Pelvis? In lower abd/pelvis, or in bone?

8:43 pm

me? snow, snow and more snow

8:43 pm

I'll drink to scrab again, dear min! You don't deserve this worry and I hope it will soon be over.

8:43 pm

We have gotten lots of new snow in the last day, with more by tomorrow.

8:43 pm

Thank you all for your concern and support!Will keep you updated. I'm just glad that I can still babble/chat

LOL, pam. out my window is parking lot where many Spanish-speaking fellow apt-dwellers park cars behind each other

8:44 pm

I think that's why hubby fell tonight - fresh dust of powder over the ice.

8:44 pm

we are glad, too, min, we are glad, too!

8:44 pm

min, please let us know how it goes -- we're your friends

we will be here, Min, and will want to know how things are going - because we all care

8:44 pm

sending good thoughts your way, Min

8:44 pm

If you need any translations, advice, guidance, PLEASE e-mail me, Minveryork. I want only the best for my Babble buddies!

8:45 pm

powder over ice -- nasty!

8:45 pm

i prefer scotch over ice.

8:45 pm

8:48 pm

icon change... not exactly what I was looking for, but will do in a pinch, seeing as how it is out my front window

LOL, jilli - was gonna ask what was the lost letter

8:48 pm

I always click on the ? when I don't know the word...

8:48 pm

10:48 pm

or more words on my own that is

10:49 pm

night stid -- I added another

10:50 pm

Way to go MLFAN!!!! I just started playing babble about a week ago and I wonder if I'll ever complete a grid.

10:50 pm

It sure is fun trying!!

10:51 pm

lori i have yet to complete one you are on a 2 week trial probably

10:51 pm

lori, you've hit some big grids in the past week

10:51 pm

mlf -- lori has gone pro

10:51 pm

i just found two words i thought i had a long time ago lol

10:51 pm

I actually joined and went PRO whatever that means

10:52 pm

ohh thats cool lori to go pro

10:53 pm

lori you paid to be on this site but first two weeks is a trial

10:53 pm

if you dont pay that is

10:53 pm

Your right Jill these puzzles have been big this week. I just love this game.

10:53 pm

but after that and before it you can pay to go pro if you want to

10:54 pm

lori, going pro means you don't lose the stats and get to have an icon and flag etc, plus you can get BabbleExpert and help support Dr_God who made this game we all enjoy. Welcome!

10:54 pm

can you get babble expert without pro?

10:54 pm

Can anyone give me a clue for the N words? I have the food one,

10:55 pm

Well...I know I'm glad I joined. And now I know who you all refer to as Dr. GOD

10:55 pm

lori -- it's more than a game -- it's a community and the icon themes help you learn new things if you follow them

10:55 pm

theirs na that means nostrils and its a 5

10:55 pm

Lickety prefers that you go pro and help support the game before asking him for BabbleExpert

hey everyone. MLFAN17 - yes you can get Babble Expert without going pro. Babble Expert is completely free. If you are not Pro you don't get the fireworks video if you finish.

10:56 pm

hi Lickety!

10:56 pm

lickety what does babble expert give you without pro?

10:57 pm

Hi Lickety

I don't want to impact DrGod's earnings - so any pro features don't flow through into Babble Expert.

MLFAN17 - you get Lickety Add, Lickety Chat, Send words to Clues, Send CLues to Babble

10:57 pm

no icon??

10:58 pm

over to Lickety -- back after I find my new icon for the next theme -- "My favourite car"

10:58 pm

I am going to ask a stupid question...Who are you lickety

10:58 pm

using the list lickety?

10:59 pm

Yes

10:59 pm

I'll answer that -- Lickety is the wonderful guy who supplies the list of clues every single day and has invented Babble Expert -- all for free. He lives in Australia and his beautiful wife is MrPresident

lori ann - just husband of mrpresident - another player. I don't play babble, I just created a helpful tool and replicated the clues that was already done by

11:00 pm

lickety how do i get the babble expert?

brandyjack on Babbleanon

MLFAN17 - see bottom of clues page for details

11:00 pm

Lickety is too modest -- most of us couldn't do without him and his list.

jilibus - thank you for such a glowing report!

11:01 pm

lickety i also wanted to let someone know that i have had probs today with my words staying in hte list on lickety page

11:01 pm

Lickety...I think this is great. I am so new to this computer world and I really enjoy chatting with my new friends here in babbleland. Your list is also very helpful.

MLFAN17 - that occurs when your cache gets all screwy - Try to clear out your internet cache / temprorary internet files.

11:01 pm

Lickety, you deserve every glowing word and more

anyone seen mrp lately?

11:02 pm

I did earlier, lickety

flosey, speaking of homesteads, having glanced at ur profile, i remember them trying to pull down the original farmstead house at my great-aunt's farm. Ended up taking all day, 3 tractors and 4 pick-up trucks to pull it down. The frame was as solid as the roof was not. LOL
