Thankee, Lickety!!!

thanks Lickety!

12:11 am

ta lickety!

12:11 am

I have it Jilli your point being?

Just - if you use the Lickety add, you'll never put a word int he caht box again.

that would be chat

12:12 am

fa6 if not mentioned

12:12 am

has wo 7 been called yet?

12:12 am

my first name is in hte grid

12:12 am

point being if you use Lickety Add you don't post word in the chat, lol! (But thanks!)

mi 6

12:13 am

well, I like to start off just on babble...that way can't see list when lickety so generously puts the list up so soon after flip :)

12:13 am

just dont refresh the clues that is what I do

12:14 am

phantom finale

you can hide the clues if you want to

12:15 am

Just, Lickety Add has nothing to do with Lickety's list. It's the box up top which if you typw in one word it goes to your words and the list (which you have hidden) and if you type more than one word it goes to chat. You can hid Lickety's list and still use Lickety Add (up top)

12:15 am

Eventually I'll figure it all out tea, thx!

no problem - I was goaded into switching to expert after one night of sending a ton of words to the chat ;)

12:16 am

thx jilli. Will try to figure that out...may not be this evening tho......lol

Morning all - how's the house hunting going Herin?

2:01 am

Morning all - how's the house hunting going Herin?

2:01 am

Haven'y been on the chat for ages then I choose that moment!!

Morning Mari. Its going ok. Just finished cleaning sorting upstairs

2:03 am

Hi Mari

2:03 am

My problem is too many books - have a problem letting them go!

We have about 600 books so we need a third room for a library

2:06 am

get ruthless Infernal..we used to have the same. You rarely reread them, they are costly to store, and they go mouldy or get foxed. Just save the precious ones and store them carefully

2:08 am

We took a car load to the local hospice charity including about 150 recipe books They were so grateful it made it easier to let them go

No you see the books are Role Playing books

2:10 am

I take mine to Peter McCallum (Cancer) Hospital. They have an active library for patients, both in & out.

2:11 am

600 role playing books! how many would you use in any year?

These are role playing books you don't get rid of them they are used as an open library for friends too. Probably most of the books. Um the guys play 3 days a week minimum

2:12 am

hi all

2:13 am

Hi Hillary

2:13 am

Hi Hillary

2:13 am

using babble expert... does anyone know how i can get the 'lickety add' chat box smaller so i can see the whole grid?

HI Hillary. Resize it like you would with a window

2:14 am

I justclick on the sides and pull it in

2:14 am

it doesn't want to let me do that ... no stretchy arrows anywhere

Lynxx so yes all of them are used. I have about 50 books and most of them are sets

Um i don't know Hilary i just resize it

2:15 am

ah.. fixed it

Yah Hillary

2:18 am

Hey everyone! How are we on this nice day?

2:18 am

Hill...you can just click on the yellow sepaeratig line with the black dotes on it

2:18 am

Hi Jandy

2:18 am

dotes? dots

2:18 am

Hey lynxxx.. How far in are you?

HI Jandy. Im still hacking up dust balls from the mammoth upstairs clean up. I found a photo of my b.fs ex. She was not pretty. MEow

2:19 am

32 left - you?

2:20 am

57 but not been going long. Still, can see there might be some sticky ones in this grid!

2:20 am

Hi Jandy I've 66 left and there isn't any more!

2:20 am

I had that feeling, mari!!!!

2:21 am

How's the packing, going herin?

2:22 am

or even going, COMMA, herin

Have not been packing mostly tossing out shite.

2:22 am

Excellent! That's the way to go! My personal motto is, if in doubt, chuck it out....

Well i have put aside 5 bags of his lordships crap

2:24 am

Take it to the charity shop - then you can go and buy it back

2:24 am

Sneak it out in increments...

2:24 am

sounds like good karma, mari, if not Good Housekeeping!

2:24 am

when "he" discovers it's missing!!

2:25 am

morning all

2:25 am

Hiya sprite!

No see he is going to go through it before it goes and most of it is shite and not donatable

2:25 am

Morning Sprite - are you and yours well?

HI SPRITE

2:26 am

Well I hope he chucks it out then, herin, and doesn't just move it with you

2:27 am

the kids are fine, mari. But hubby has another gout attack, or maybe it is something else. We have to go to the hospital today to do a punction (?). Not sure of the word. They want the fluid that makes his foot so swollen.

2:28 am

Hi Sprite. That sounds positive. They have ruled out rheumatism?

2:28 am

Ow, herin, sounds painful.... and punction may not be the accurate word, but it's clear what you mean!

Jandy hes not allowed to take those 5 bags with him the end. :P

2:29 am

lynxxx, no, that is one of the things they are testing now. Rob read yesterday that rheumatism often goes together with psoriasis and he has this weird spot on his leg that won't go away. So we think it might be indeed.

2:29 am

Not herin, sprite, although it's painful to chuck stuff out too. I'm over multi-tasking!

2:30 am

*hugs Jandy* I knew you meant me, and calling me lady is a compliment ;)

OH Sprite Hugs

2:30 am

Well, I hope all works out for him, sprite. It's always worrying when you're waiting for a diagnosis.

2:31 am

yeah, it never ra4s but it pours in our household, it seems. Wish we could get a reprieve.

OH and when it comes to those five bags the foot has spoken. I loe him but he must de clutter for the new house has no wardrobes (note not got it yet but its ours so there)

2:31 am

Sprite - I hope it is quickly identified and he can start treatment and get faster relief

2:32 am

it is, Jandy. Especially because we don't know what the consequences are if it IS rheumatism. My love is an outdoor man. His delight is in canoeing and camping out.

2:32 am

thanks lynxxx! *hug* It means a lot to me that you guys are so caring and supportive.

2:32 am

Dyou get results through quite quickly Sprite?

2:33 am

It'll pass, sprite, that feeling of everything happening at once. We've had twelve months like that, but if I'm honest and look back at the last ten years it averages out okay!

HUGS SPRITE

2:33 am

Sounds good herin (and I do mean herin). Stick with the program!

2:33 am

"Do you" - mixing too much with Australians!!!!

back in tic

2:34 am

Watch it, mari. We speaks lovely!

2:34 am

we don't know yet, mari. My love had to go to the specialist last Thursday, but at that moment his foot wasn't swollen enough. So they wanted him to call our doctor when it would be, who would call the specialist, who would call the ER to make a punction (?). But... now the foot is swollen enough (plenty) and now our doctor is ill. So we are trying to make it work through her replacement... it is all totally unclear.

2:35 am

How frustrating, sprite.

2:35 am

thanks lady, for the hugs :) *hugs* to you too, you are going through enervating times as well, hun.

2:35 am

Jandy, I loves how you speaks :)

2:35 am

Ta, mate!

2:36 am

Lol Jandy here speaks the one with the broad Glasgow accent!!

2:36 am

I used to be an addict (as a kid) of the Flying Doctors series. Was totally in love with the 'accent'. (Is it an accent, when a whole people speaks it? I think it is a language then.)

2:37 am

hmmp... you should be youse anyway!

2:38 am

Well mine is a hybrid, mixture of Aussie and scouser, but I never sank to youse. Although you're right, lynxxx, you hear it around often enough!

2:39 am

to me it sounds so pleasant. But I will admit to being a language fan all over - I love the hot potato oxford english as well.

2:39 am

It's dying out Sprite The BBC want regional accents now

2:40 am

I love the variations too, sprite. Wish I was better at imitating people, but it's just not one of my talents.

2:41 am

nor mi4, Jandy. Though when I am WITH people I kind of absorb their accent, but when I go away, it wears off again. It is an unconscious thing.

2:42 am

Weird thing is that Australia is a huge country with isolated populations and there is almost no variation in accent or vernacular across the country.

2:42 am

In England you travel for three hours and need subtitles!

2:43 am

In Scotland 20 minutes up the road and you can't understand them!

2:43 am

Righto, my kind hostess has dinner ready so will say bye for now, be back later

2:44 am

well, in the Netherlands even less, lol. No way I can understand Fries, and when the Brabanders or Groningers or Twentenaren talk among themselves, I can't get half of it. Isn't language wonderful! And I didn't know that about Australia, Jandy. Interesting!

2:44 am

bye Jandy

2:44 am

bye Jandy, enjoy!

2:45 am

My Babbling companion this evening is Dutch/Australian, and he just cracked up laughing, sprite! BBL

2:45 am

ok, my hubby has taken a shower, which is rather courageous atm, and now the telephone rings. I think it might be the replacement of the doctor, or the hospital. Back later guys, and thanks for caring. *hug*

2:46 am

tell him I said : Jij weet dat het waar is! ;)

2:47 am

bye Sprite - good luck

2:48 am

Sun is shining so leaving the rest for later Have a good day /evening /night all

2:51 am

Hi Jellen

2:52 am

I'm not really here!

2:52 am

best wishes sprite

Is anyone here?

3:05 am

hey all

3:05 am

Me, but I'm going, down to 24 but will leave that for the morning. Bye Infernal and everyone

HI BF how are you?

3:05 am

hi herin I am...but this grid is pi**ing me off big time so I'm gone

HI JustMar and bye

3:06 am

alright, just got a thanks but no thanks, i had an interview on Friday

OH that sucks

3:08 am

yeah, espesh finding out on monday morning, lol

sigh. I hate that

3:23 am

phantom: mineral

3:25 am

this babble expert makes one take quite a different approach

3:27 am

How so Hillary?

3:27 am

really? i just stick to this page

3:28 am

im methodically making my way thru the list... its

3:28 am

it's more clinical, calculating... i'm not sure i like it as much

3:28 am

What babble expert page are you talking about?

3:29 am

it's the program you get if you email lickety... gives you lots of whiz-bang options for the way you enter words... very slick

3:30 am

Oh...thanks for the clarification.

Hey hilary - just popping in. Try this - Hide the clues on the left by clicking on the orange vertical bar in the middle - and then when you want it back click it again

3:38 am

thanks lickety... it's so irresisitible with the list sitting there, i drifted away from gazing at the grid and finding stuff which is what is most enjoyable... I'll restore the list when i'm desperat.

3:38 am

make that desperate

3:38 am

one too many g&ts on a hot summer night

heheh - and if you get really stuck you can get the AtoZ word lists on the right at the same time

3:40 am

how do you do that?

3:41 am

one thing I do greatly appreciate is the way the 'lickety add' box automatically differentiates between a word entry and a chat entry... magic!

sticking my head in for just a sec - hey, peeps

Lickety's page was what brought me back to Babbling, after a 2 year hiatus

I thought I saw herin in here. did she leave again, or just working on the grid instead of chatting?

oh, well. nytol

Tyger i was icing cup cakes

3:54 am

can anyone clue the wo4/9?

3:55 am

actually i've just found it... fish time

Hilary i didn't have it

3:56 am

it

3:57 am

it lives in the garden soil and comes out when it's raining

3:57 am

Not sure

tough grid, my pronouncement

I am only half playing and if its not done tonight to bad as im out tomorrow

4:26 am

I agree - a tough one ...

4:26 am

I see. They are always hard when there arn't any(t,s)

so far the majority of words found are "weird" words, IMO

I am at 66 but ploding alone

4:27 am

:-(

me too, 67 and not going too fast . . .

4:27 am

oh hodag not sure about the grid lol am in concert with coldplay lol

4:46 am

congrats hodag...see you soon!!

I am looking at comedy festivel stuff

and im back whats the go PInk

5:02 am

sorry about the delay herin, lil pink is making me work hard this AM. She's at the age where everything is no and rebelling *shakes head in despair*

Oh dear

thought about chucking a tanty yourself?

5:03 am

no, i haven't

I would

5:05 am

i hadn't thought of that, when she starts again i will. im good at throwing tanty's lol

Just do the whole MUMMY DOESN"T LIKE YOU BEING LIKE THIS or do what feather does which is passive

or my friend which is just walk out of the room and tell he to call me when your done

5:06 am

being passive how?

5:08 am

Pink, have you seen the commercial on tv when a mother throws herself on the floor of a supermarket and her little boy just looks on in amazement, but forgets his tantrum?

Um ' Please don't do that ok thats enough that kinda thing. Ignorance give her 2 min then ask what she wants. SHes at the age were she wants it but cant tell you how and is frustrated. Kinda like when we have a word but don't know it

5:10 am

yes i have, ex wren....herin she talks clearly and she can get her point across. she throws it because she can, i normally ignore her, but, when she starts coughing and hyperventilating i feel sooo guilty so i give in to her

You need to tell her to calm down

5:14 am

it makes her worse, telling her to calm down...im sure my neighbours think she is abused, because she screams so loud that it sounds as if im hurting her and it is embarassing.

5:15 am

brb tantrum being thrown

Just talk to your neighbours and let them know that shes having a tanty

5:19 am

she looked at me, laughed, stopped, then continued to scream so i repeated the tanty and she is now watching Bit and Bobs *peacefully*

he he he so you copied her and it worked?

5:24 am

yep, it seems so! *fingers crossed*

good. Little rug rat

5:24 am

6:13 am

6:17 am

I am off to a slow start today. Is anyone else slogging along?

6:17 am

ive got 57 left

LOL, I just started 104 left here. Probably will not finish.

6:18 am

53 left

6:22 am

Does anyone have some warm cinnamon rolls to go with my coffee please?

Sorry Merk, yogurt here, and I am at work, so really nothing.

6:24 am

It just sounds so good. I guess I could run to the bakery, but the weather appears to be quite crappy right now ... snow/rain mix.

6:24 am

i dont have cinnamon rolls but i have warm Broiche rolls??

that sounds good too. I have some cookies I suppose. maybe I shall have one or two.

OK, first assessment, this is a difficult grid!

6:29 am

i second that red, at 49 left i enlisted the help of morewords!

6:30 am

Is this a clue. What is morewords?????

MoreWords is a grid solving tool...it makes things very easy. I try not to use it till the bitter end.

I am at 38 Pink, you are encouraging me.

6:31 am

and the web site is?

6:31 am

www.morewords.com

google morewords

farn

not a woooord.

6:32 am

if you have babble expert, go to resources and access it there

6:32 am

Got it!

this grid would benefit from a strategically placed G...

6:34 am

G'd mornign Babblers! Breezed through to 75 words, then hit the wall. One more pass, and then Lickety's to the rescue!

6:34 am

I sometimes use a2z wordfinder

6:34 am

ummm it would, but Dr G likes making life difficult for us babblers

6:35 am

Good Morning Lori how are you? and how id Uni?

Lori, I have 76n left and my personal wall of doom is edging closer...

How is you day Lori??

6:36 am

Hey pink! ***hugs*** Uni's sleeping in. Gotta' love that! So far so good red. Nobody's ruined my day yet! :-)

6:36 am

i used to use a2z word finder, but after a while my eyes would strain

Lori P, you are dangerously close to the PB....where you will get I think cinnomon rolls.

6:36 am

hello :)

6:36 am

Afternoon all Lunchtime already! Lovely grid today and no ttoo long thankgoodness. I know that won't suit everyone.

6:38 am

Morning FM :)

I just want a trategic G...

strategic...

6:39 am

and with the addition of an s, t or d it would have been twice the size.

6:39 am

red has inherited my awesome typing skills. :-)

6:39 am

lol lori

I am on a stiff work keyboard...and yes I am trying to emulate the awesome LoriP.

:)

6:40 am

'resurfaces' hate this grid hate this grid hate this grid '

6:40 am

They're big shoes to fill red. My typing is legendary.

6:40 am

Mine are soo far off the scale you would need a deep sea submersible to even glimpse them.

6:40 am

Hey jakes! g'd morning. :-)

6:41 am

hiya lori

6:41 am

Hello j-m good to see you :)

6:41 am

69 more to go...

6:44 am

Made it to 80, and waving the white flag of surrender. Lickety's ho!

6:44 am

I'd "tell on you" Lori, but everyone would fall about laughing :)

6:44 am

:- )

6:45 am

It's just as well I have broad shoulders and know that most babblers like me :)

6:46 am

j-m how the family?

6:48 am

Lily has finally given up and is asleep, I just picked jake up from school as he was complaining of belly ache

6:48 am

Oh not a stress free morning then :(

6:49 am

no, miss lily was fine until about 10:30, then the tantrum started 'sigh' then the phone call

6:49 am

Has anyone managed to find the 7s yet, or am I being hopelessly optimistic?

Sorry MM, I would have liked to say yes.

6:50 am

nope, no 7's here

6:50 am

Hi mm, thought of you when they did the sports round up this morning.

Hi all. Red - ur5 comes from the ur7 tract.

6:58 am

Afternoon Jacula, you well?

6:59 am

My commiserations to your partner then, FMitch!!!!

6:59 am

Thanks mm

6:59 am

Mostly got over the cold bug, FM. You?

Jacula, hand me a large fish, this wouldnt have been so fishy if I hadnt dealt with so many ur***** tracts this evening (at work of course!)

6:59 am

As long as there's someone else out there who hates Spurs as much as me then!!!!!

6:59 am

LOL, red.

7:00 am

f4/7 and dandy ta Jacs. Lol mm

AH but the night is almost over and then I shall babble at home.

7:02 am

phone rang. Did i miss any good stuff? FM in trouble yet?

7:02 am

ohh dear must go, little one is now awake and about to go into full tantrum mode!!

Lori, not yet, but we can work on it.

7:03 am

Later pink, later Jakes!

7:03 am

Nothing to see here, just eating my lunch

what is lunch?

7:04 am

My god. i went to lickety's and should be beaten severely, for some of the obvious words I missed. ack

7:04 am

Its rather pleasant experience once you get used to it red

Lori, I am still sloggin with no lickety at 62... feeling glum...

7:04 am

finally back from hospital, with zero result... doc couldn't get fluid from the joint.

Sprite I am sorry...

7:05 am

Good Morning all, not liking this grid

that sounds painful.

7:05 am

LOL, FM, you meant lunch. I thought you meant taking a severe beating!

7:05 am

Hi spritey sprite and peri

7:05 am

G'd morning peri, sprite

7:05 am

Hi sprite and peri.

7:05 am

hi dear babble friends

7:05 am

Hiya Sprite!!!!!

WHat is for lunch...better living through appropriate grammer!

7:06 am

grammer above spelling? ;)

7:06 am

right back, miss lily has her bottle ans is staring at me

Well, Sprite, I clearly can not have it all...

7:07 am

See what happens when I try to be sensible and not cause trouble, I can't understand any one!! *runs away to hidey cupboard for a time out*

7:07 am

*giggles* Poor poor red...

7:07 am

*hugs FMitch*

I try to keep my expectations low.

7:07 am

Hands FM a comfy pillow.

7:08 am

argh!! i cant get the first ur5 or the ur7!!!

Ok must stop until I get home. I just HEARD it is going to be in the 70s!!!! this weekend.

Jakes mum think of soiled nappies.

7:08 am

what I do not understand, is that they ask us to have the punction (?) done through the ER. Totally weird. All the time we have to wait and wait and wait, because other people are more urgent. Yeah duh... of course they are.

7:08 am

Potty training must be going well then j-m!

7:09 am

bfn red

sprite its probably b/c the doc there can do it, but yes, makes no good sense. and a horrible use of an ER bed. Better to have you attnd clinic.

lets see, we would call it a Joint Aspiration.

7:09 am

potty training? shes only 6 weeks and the other is 6 years so already past that with him!!

so just think of what she puts in the diaper.

7:10 am

j-m, it was a clue for ur5 and 7.:-)

7:10 am

my idea exactly, red. We spent hours in there, and now it is for nothing too... BAD for tempers, lol. Hubby and I both were fed up with it.

7:10 am

got ur5 but can't get ur7

7:10 am

fireworks

7:11 am

wtg bfsog

7:11 am

Well done, bfsog.

7:11 am

now have the 7! ' hit me with the fish!' but very first ur5 is still beyond me 'ponders'

Sprite, I am sorry. But deep down a part of me feels good that another health care systenm has some flaws...

7:11 am

peri - ur5 comes from the ur7 tract.

7:11 am

*gently kicks red in the lower regions for gloating*

7:11 am

ur5= u+ not common

TY MM.

7:12 am

yw red

7:12 am

j-m un5/22, think of bringin people together for a common cause.

Ouch...pain ensues...

hi montreal

7:36 am

Hello montreal.

7:36 am

how are you dear sprite ?

7:37 am

*steals Luc's tea, babbles too*

7:37 am

bonjour, montreal!

7:37 am

Hello monty, Une and Ata

7:37 am

Hi Ata.

7:37 am

hey, fmitch :-)

7:38 am

"recoup's tea from Ata and slalutes all"

7:38 am

salutes* even !

7:38 am

I have no idea, montreal, lol. Spent most of this day in hospital with hubby, who had to let them take a sample of fluid in his ankle and toe joints... which did not work. I did the shopping and all as well... and I am eating to not having to feel.

7:38 am

I think slalute should be babble lingo anyway. Great word.

7:39 am

oh, sprite, so sorry hubby not improving :-(

7:39 am

and hi Ata *hug*

7:39 am

grrrrr! do I have to make my own tea?!!!

7:39 am

sorry to hear your dear one is slow in recuperating...(hugs)

7:39 am

YES Ata !

7:39 am

outrageous

7:39 am

mornin babblers!

7:40 am

morning EvaNadine

7:40 am

lol Ata ... here, have a cuppa - hi Eva !

7:40 am

not at all, Une. Doc thinks it might not even be gout, so now he goes to a specialist. They are doing a full scale blood test. But the fluid from the joints was not available, while hubby's foot looks like a balloon about to go WHAM.

7:40 am

hi EvaN

7:40 am

*makes Ata a nice hot fresh cuppa*

7:40 am

Hi EvaN.

7:40 am

LOL actually i think i do need tea. brb. tea, everyone?

7:41 am

how is everyone this morning?

7:41 am

Yes pelse Ata! Hi EvaN

7:42 am

I just made you some, Ata, don't be so ungrateful :P

7:43 am

inlow = despiccable in-law.

7:43 am

fine here tx Eva, had an early (7:00 am) "office meeting" at a restaurant for breakfast...but i don't even work on mondays ! - minus 2 degrees C under a sunny sky, all in all, a good day so far

7:43 am

lol sprite !

7:43 am

26 left but I have some choc chip cookies to bake and some scones, and a lemon ginger cake to make. BBL.

7:44 am

im here everyday at 7:30 am...heh

7:44 am

ohhh goodies thats one house thats gonna smell great

7:44 am

sounds good to me, Jac. You don't mind if I come by later, do you? ;) *hugs*

7:44 am

stupid question for you sprite: is the flemish language the same as, close to or related in some way to the dutch language ?

7:44 am

wow eva im lucky i can see at tht hour lol

7:44 am

sorry sprite! typed the tea before seeing your lovely cuppa :D

7:45 am

i ONLY do it so i can leave at 3:30 every day...heh

7:45 am

not at all stupid, montreal. It is related, though it should be considered a separate language.

7:45 am

leaving so early is so worth getting in early!

7:46 am

okay, ty sprite - saw a few sentences in flemish in a book am currently reading and wondered...

7:46 am

glad you enjoy it, Ata ;) *hugs*

7:46 am

its nice to leave while theres still sunshine -- plus i can get home, do some tidying, make dinner + sometimes even take a shower efore the BF gets home! or, if i have errands to run, i can actually get to the shops while theyre still open!

7:47 am

oh sprite - check out my herd-a-word score ;)

7:47 am

mornin' everyone - happy "after winter break"

7:47 am

lol Ata, is it EVIL???

7:47 am

it makes all the difference getting out in the light. dog walking, relaxing, shopping, everything's better!

7:47 am

yep!

7:48 am

love a puzzle that starts with vineyard words!

7:48 am

congrats! Am so proud of you!

7:48 am

hi asgreen

7:48 am

true Eva, 3:30 is a nice time to finish the work day - when i worked full-time, i went the other way b/c i'm not a morning person - would work from 9 to 6:30 avoiding traffic ...

7:48 am

hi there green !

7:49 am

im very much not a morning person...but i get in before a lot of people, so im able to get more work done (and babbling too!) since there arent so many people around to distract me...

7:49 am

hi sprite and mont!

7:49 am

ahhh soooo Eva...lol

7:49 am

Hello everyone.

7:49 am

I used to work from 7 am in the morning. Lovely to have some afternoon left after work.

7:50 am

hi Scrabs - just got in myself

7:50 am

hiya scrabs !!

7:50 am

hi Scrabbler! Hubby's foot was like a huge balloon this morning, so we went to the hospital for the punction (?). But it did not work, they couldn't get fluid from his foot joints.

7:50 am

What is your temp way up north there, Luc? 25 F here--tropical for you.

7:51 am

Puncture, Sprite---so, probably not an abscess, just soft tissue swelling. Yuck--sounds like a painful mess.

7:51 am

no no scrabs, minus 2 C here and sunny (around 28-29 F)...

7:52 am

The sun is starting to creep out here. I see blue sky to the east.

7:52 am

only 38 words found, and i think my brain is already going on strike -- its what i get for staying up late to watch the oscars!

7:52 am

Scrabbler: they wanted to test for rheumatism and other things. To see if it is really gout. We knew it was no abcess (thank God for small favours)

7:52 am

I am examing the rid--Dr God got a special on I's today, I see.

7:52 am

39 found so far here Eva...hehe...

7:53 am

lol Scrabbler, seems that way

7:53 am

I watched the movie "Michael Clayton" last night--wow! My Georgie is stunning!

7:53 am

anyone have the E in the lower left corner? or the S or i at the bottom right?

7:53 am

i thought Georgie was hazel's ??

7:53 am

EvaN: currency of my part of the world

7:54 am

Who's George dear Scrabbler?

7:54 am

In her mind, Luc, but he is my boy toy! (He is one yr younger than me.)

7:54 am

thanks sprite -- i consistently miss that one!

7:54 am

Good morning all....I don't have much time to hunt today for I have to work :(

7:54 am

ooh, thanks sprite

7:54 am

so do I, EvaN!

7:54 am

George Clooney---my fiance!

7:54 am

hadn't gotten there yet, but liked the clue to speed me along

7:54 am

Actually if you cast your mind back far enough I wa the one to introduce GC to the group!

7:55 am

okay you gals, you fight for him !!

7:55 am

you're most welcome to it, asgreen ;)

7:55 am

hello everyone!

7:55 am

Hi Lori Ann--I have to get ready for a tennis match soon. Then I work 1-8.

7:55 am

before my time FM...

7:55 am

hi Annie!

7:55 am

Ah Scrabbs...another clooney fan

7:55 am

bonjour Annie !!

7:55 am

;) monty

7:55 am

I used to watch George when he was in the teen show, The Facts of Life.

7:56 am

i watched him on roseanne...heh

7:56 am

I wonder if GC likes older women, much older women...saw Michael Clayton Sat. nite, good pic

7:56 am

hi there lori ann - almost missed you !!

7:56 am

he was on Facts of life?

7:56 am

hi luc!

7:56 am

hi lori ann

7:56 am

Yes, I watched it last night--outstanding film!

7:56 am

Me too!!! Hi to you montreal

7:56 am

Hello Annie

7:56 am

I heard GC doesn't like women at all.....not to spread gossip or anything

7:56 am

Hi FM!!

7:57 am

*clutches heart at green's post*

7:57 am

Well DayLweis did kiss him at the Oscars!

7:57 am

sorry Annie

7:57 am

how many words?

7:57 am

yes - I thought DDL was rather composed at his acceptance, no?

7:58 am

fireworks... :)

7:58 am

I just wanted all my a.m. friends to know that I finally got fireworks last eve.

7:58 am

maybe GC not liking women does not mean he likes men... maybe he likes girls...

7:58 am

way to go sprite

7:58 am

omg - too many i's to choose from in this grid

7:58 am

ASG--that is our front so that he + I avoid the paparazzi.

7:58 am

Yay lori ann and congrats sprite.

7:59 am

7:59 am

Yay for you, Lori Ann!!!!

7:59 am

7:59 am

Yes addicting it is. Now I have my husband on the hunt with me. We call him Hoppy.

7:59 am

8:00 am

Monty they are besotted, you coments fall on deaf ears i think.

8:01 am

Bye Sprite...enjoy your hubby

8:01 am

This grid is making me see double with I's and N's all over.

8:01 am

Me too Scrabbs...

8:01 am

me also

8:02 am

far too many vowels (plus we counts Ys as vowels as well in Canada...)

8:02 am

I need two i words before I allow myself the list

8:02 am

We also count the Y's as sometime vowels in the USA

8:03 am

it's the "sometimes" that bothers me...

8:03 am

LOL

8:04 am

Well...I must get ready for work. Hope everyone has a GREAT DAY.

8:04 am

urg, I need to run....time flies, huh? I'll be back later - have a good morning all!

8:04 am

Here comes the sun--yippee!

8:04 am

Bye, LA!

8:04 am

A vowel is either a vowel or not, simple as that!!! tsk

8:04 am

'xactly FM - !!

8:04 am

New law per FM! Let's end the ambiguity!

8:04 am

later green !

8:05 am

and Y is not a vowel

8:05 am

***wishes she got the i words before leaving****

8:05 am

NO NO FM - it IS a vowel !!!!

8:05 am

And Y is a tiny chromosome.

8:06 am

green, the regular in 5/10 is there with 2 Ns and 2 vowels...

8:06 am

3 vowels*

8:06 am

I'm looking for one from the top row, and one from the 2nd to bottom row - so that I have one from each tile

8:07 am

I got that one already though monty - thanks!!

8:07 am

*sighs deeply*

8:07 am

I follow those rules too, ASG.

8:07 am

in + on the **ad again

8:07 am

I borrowed your rules Scrabs :) I like 'em

8:07 am

"abyssal sigh"

8:07 am

They are my OCD rules.

8:08 am

Why, Luc?

8:08 am

I'm late, must run! bbl - thx! ***poof

8:08 am

Bye, ASG.

8:08 am

LOL

8:09 am

cripes can we get ANY MORE 1's in the grid?

8:09 am

i's rather

8:09 am

why what scrabs ??

8:09 am

yes carlee, there's room for a few more...

8:09 am

Why an abyssal sigh, Luc?

8:09 am

Hi Carlee. Yes, those I's are in the way.

8:10 am

sudoku's the one with numbers carlee :)

8:10 am

in answer to FM's deep sigh - re: the universal Y is/isn't a vowel controversy...

8:10 am

Haha, FM.

8:10 am

Y is a bi-vowel--goes both ways.

8:11 am

y is double gated...

8:11 am

y y y Delilah

8:11 am

Y is gay? *faints*

8:11 am

Hi Atalante

8:12 am

not in french it isn't - Y is always a vowel in our part of the world, french and english...

8:12 am

It is quite clear that it is, FM--it goes both ways, doesn't it?

8:12 am

lol Ata

8:12 am

hello everyone in Babbleland

8:12 am

have we covered the vowel status of j and w yet?

8:12 am

hiya pab !

8:12 am

Hi pabtrek!

8:13 am

Those also are confused letters, Ata

8:13 am

very

8:13 am

And sometimes K is too afraid to act as a consonant so it goes silent.

8:13 am

Live long and prosper pab

8:13 am

in french, the letter I is called "i grec", the greek i...

8:13 am

and i before e except after c is taking politeness to the limits.

8:14 am

thus, a vowel for sure !!!

8:14 am

hiya pabtrek

8:14 am

the letter Y even?

8:14 am

Haha, FM

8:14 am

yes let me refresh that --- in french, the letter Y is called "i grec", the greek i...

8:15 am

I would love to continue discussing the behaviors of letters, but I must get ready for tennis. I have to shave my legs and become as aerodynamic as possible, LOL.

8:15 am

8:39 am

I must scroll back. Was it Oscar worthy?

8:39 am

8:39 am

no not this time, think she peaked yesterday.

8:40 am

I know. I never realised she valued a simple 'hello' from montreal quite so much.

8:40 am

did u get it Alleyn ? - an5 = a marriage an***ment

8:41 am

well i can understand her on THAT particular point hazel...

8:41 am

good thing no-one gave her any clues after that. imagine the reaction!

8:41 am

Goo morning, good morning, good morning angels!

8:41 am

***what's a vacuum cleaner again? I forget***

8:41 am

I'll be sure to acknowledge her on a regular basis, even if she's lurking. Hello Scarlet!

8:42 am

Hello Scarlet!

8:43 am

I'm back...is scarlet lurking...coffee in hand or should I say cup

8:43 am

Scarlet is offline, so you can all rest easy for a bit...

8:43 am

Hello Annie. We're not sure, but we're greeting regularly as a sort of preventative measure.

8:44 am

8:45 am

**<3's Scarlet**

8:45 am

random fact I';ve just been told - apparently you can now buy a USB-powered vibrator. so you don't even have to leave your computer

8:45 am

Maybe Annie should be put on Scarlet watch to let us know the instant she signs on again.

8:45 am

Doh yes sir.

8:45 am

***G'd morning Scarlet*** LOLOL @ Uni's comment on the house....

8:45 am

Ata..where did you find this, hmm? **raised eyebrow**

Well, there's only 6 weeks worth of wheat left in the world.

8:45 am

someone told me!

8:45 am

Ata, that is good info. I have to uhm, go check something out, er. uhm brb .....

8:45 am

Hello everyone!

8:45 am

*flying over Asheville, NC trying to spot Scarlet lurking*

8:46 am

Annie, u should do your "hovering thing" trying to spot our scarlet...

8:46 am

I thought it highly amusing

8:46 am

Hello Angela.

8:46 am

Luc, so I am

8:46 am

nice informational fact Ata - will keep it in mind...

8:46 am

hi angela

8:47 am

Good morning crpw.

8:47 am

8:47 am

Gosh, that reminds me. Hello Scarlet!

8:47 am

8:48 am

good morning crpw... and guten morgen, frau skarleth

8:48 am

I'm hiding the chat. I don't think Spangle needs to read this. She's scared enough of the hoover as it is.

8:48 am

*hovering, hovering*

8:48 am

***Pulls out GPS looking for Scarlet. G'd morning Scarlet***

8:49 am

poor spangle!

na + ma****s, army, navy

9:02 am

***congrats bubba***

9:02 am

Thanks, Lori

9:02 am

I'm pleased to see Uniquity isn't wasting punctuation marks. There's to be a section of the PB for comma wasters and splurgers of exclamation marks.

9:02 am

oh clearly the ins' are gonna drive me nuts

9:02 am

ar5,10?

9:02 am

Congratulations bubba.

9:02 am

ar5/10 - where sports can be played

9:02 am

i too am stuck on the in's ....

9:03 am

I thought reaching 30 might be a bit of a drag, but it's turned out OK so far

9:03 am

Good day to the Babble Empire, on which the sun never sets.

9:03 am

I'm just wasting asterisks:) <>?><>?:":"{}{}!!!!<<<!< !<!<<<<,,,,,11,1,1,1

9:03 am

in + what you pay to get on a bus

9:03 am

Haz. Thanks. Why is it the obvious ones that I miss?

9:03 am

Ooh, good morning Vic(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

9:03 am

Oh, hang on, maybe I can be more geometric. Let me look in the wardrobe...

9:04 am

Good day to you, Vicuna. 5 weeks and 6 days of wheat left in the world.

9:04 am

Hiya vic!!!!

9:04 am

(Oh shame on you, Uni! So young and so depraved...)

9:04 am

ty tly bubba

9:04 am

***G'd morning Vic***

9:04 am

hi scarlet! oh, its vi

9:04 am

I don't know, Alleyn, but it happens to all of us.

9:04 am

Okay, that hurt even me...I apologise to all who have suffered from my *moment* of immaturity

9:05 am

congrats, bubbba and hi, vicuna

9:05 am

As Vicuna pointed out last night, if we waste punctuation marks, her children might not have any. A world without colons.

9:05 am

***ROFLMAO @ Ata***

9:05 am

Any clues for the top row i words plz?

9:06 am

Oohh, that would be a shame. Are you secretly Lynn Truss?

9:06 am

without colons? thats hard to digest

9:06 am

in + what you hand is attached to

9:06 am

***my hand is attached to George Clooney's butt***

9:06 am

Uniquity - when I read Lynn Truss, I felt my heart swelling in pride at finally not being the only person in the world who cares.

9:07 am

LOL ata

9:07 am

Ata is on the ball today

9:07 am

ty ty agai bubba this saves me alot of staring in a daze at all the ins hehe

9:07 am

LORI!!!!!

9:07 am

*sticks tongue out at that rude young hellion, Ata*

9:07 am

phew. I thought I was just giggling madly to myself for a moment

9:07 am

in + a **se by any other name

careful Lori, Haz is still here LOL

9:07 am

Perhaps I should forego my share of punctuation in favour of Vics children

9:07 am

***Uni just gave me the look, and a stern "Mom"!***

9:08 am

in + two vowels

9:08 am

**calls Hugh Laurie while there is still a chance**

9:08 am

ty bubba

9:08 am

My goodness, I am not here one minute and Lori's feeling up George, Ata's being rude, Uni's wasting punctuation, and the wheat is sifting away like sand in an hourglass...

9:08 am

***Now we're talking. feels fantasy moment pending***

9:08 am

The punctuation marks will last as long as we are sparing. None of these multiple !!!!! and ?????.

9:09 am

Just another day in babble, Vicuna. Hello Scarlet!

9:09 am

Alright, as long as the law giver has given me the okay! (Note, just one exclamation point)

9:09 am

...It's nice to know life as we know it is still going strong.

9:09 am

but if we type !! or !!!!, couldnt they reproduce together and make more?

9:09 am

cool im gettin all kinds of ins now ty :)

9:09 am

what about the over use of the * then?

9:09 am

**Sneaks Hugh Laurie up to my bedroom**

9:10 am

No doubt that's the origin of the semi-colon, Ata.

9:10 am

We'll have no breeding on this log, thank you very much.

9:10 am

you know some days this is so easy others its like pulling teeth to get the easiest ones lol

9:10 am

asterisks are aplenty, FM. No worries for them

9:10 am

Lori and Uni bothuse 6 when 2 would suffice

9:10 am

***uses anaesthetic on Uni, and binds Hugh Laurie. Better stop at that...***

9:10 am

Everyone knows there are plenty of *'s in the sky. The universe is infinite and expanding.

9:10 am

asterisks are as plenty as stars

9:10 am

*plentiful. see?!

9:10 am

hi all clue for ar 5 please?

9:11 am

Vi good morning * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * then

9:11 am

9:11 am

thanks for the in clues finally got them all...

9:11 am

*Lori has switched the methods...poor Hugh is unconscious :(

9:11 am

funny once i ask for a clue i get it........

9:11 am

How many words are there today? I'm finding this one a little slow.

9:11 am

Do we need a swat team standing by to recover Hugh?

9:11 am

I have 18, so that sounds good to me

9:11 am

116 words.

9:12 am

116 pete

9:12 am

I think we can *share* him for now...

9:12 am

***stares longingly at Hugh, wishing he'd wake up***

9:12 am

thanks

9:12 am

Throw cold water over him. He'll waken up but he may not be best pleased.

9:13 am

(Does anybody have the Canadian Mounted Police phone number?)

9:13 am

***Hi Scarlet!!!!!!!!***

9:13 am

hi, all. fireworks for me.

9:13 am

I think Hugh will be good enough pleased or no!

9:13 am

**Barricades doors and windows**

9:13 am

Haz just pick up the blue ohne, you have a hotline

9:14 am

We can always smoke you out, Uniquity. Get the tear gas ready.

9:14 am

***Don't call the RCMP. They'll taser us.***

9:14 am

Congrats Angel!!!!!!

9:14 am

Congratulations Angelsong.

9:14 am

AH! You have given her the essential R for Royal. We are in trouble now...

9:15 am

Thanks for that reminder, FMitch. Interpol has been informed. Hugh is a British citizen, be gentle with him.

9:15 am

*Kidnaps George as preventative measures*

9:16 am

*pops head up from tunnel in Uni's front garden* Nope, not quite far enough. *ducks back underground*

9:16 am

Scrabbler will be distraught! She thinks she's engaged to him.

9:16 am

Show me the ring, I say.

9:16 am

Wait a minute, you agnels work for me, when did this turn happen?!

9:16 am

Sends random greeting to Scarlet

9:16 am

MI6 had something to do with it, Uniquity.

9:16 am

**angels, that would be

9:17 am

Happy HAlloween, Scarlet?

9:17 am

**calls order and politely asks angel to be mine again**

9:17 am

The turn happened when you turned into a force for evil, young lady.

9:17 am

What's it worth?

9:17 am

Well, if you're saying please...

9:17 am

Will you promise not to waste punctuation marks?

9:18 am

force for evil? Do you see the halo? **shines halo**

9:18 am

Will you be sure to ration your wheat intake?

9:18 am

I've already offered to give my punctuation marks to Vicuna's children, remember? I am for the future!

9:19 am

I eat Cheerios for breakfast. They're oats. I'm so virtuous.

9:19 am

I will make very few cookies, I promise...

9:19 am

Uniquity, on behalf of the future, I thank you.

9:19 am

What about the pay and conditions? Do we get a pay raise?

9:19 am

No, Haz, but you get royalties from any of your wit that is subsequently shown on reruns.

9:20 am

Ooooh royalties. I love anything to do with the Queen.

9:20 am

The pay scale is quite generous to you gorgeous ladies...I, on the other hand, have very poor pay. I'm in debt to the producers, actually.

9:21 am

Okay, Uniquity, you have my loyalty once more. Any particular mission to be undertaken?

9:21 am

Ah well, no wonder you felt the need for a little Hugh-shaped pick-me-up. Still, no turning evil, please.

9:21 am

Well, if you could get to growing some wheat so my cookie production could increase, that would be most kind...

9:22 am

Stuck at 16 but would love to do the ra7,28.....

9:22 am

Now, here's the thing. Is it Hugh as House you long for?

9:22 am

Mm, Hugh shapes! Wonder if I could get a life size cookie cutter...

9:22 am

ra7/28 - describes a country that receives more wet stuff than another

9:22 am

Much as I do enjoy House, I also enjoy Hugh in other roles, especially when he doesn't hide his accent :)

9:22 am

Or Princess Grace of Monaco's husband.

9:23 am

Man, is that a twisty word.

9:23 am

Haz! Yet again so obvious!

9:23 am

I just wondered about the House thing - because he really is quite English.

9:23 am

You're welcome Alleyn

9:24 am

Since I was little and started reading British authors, I've deeloped an unnatural fondness for all things English. Americanisation makes me sad (also gives me conflicted feelings about American House vs. British Hugh)

9:25 am

Well, maybe it goes to show what a versatile actor he is.

9:26 am

I always greatly admired Nigel Hawthorne (now dead) He seemed to be able to completely lose himself in roles.

9:27 am

fr 5/16 please ...

9:29 am

fr5/16 - the same structure as ar5/10

9:29 am

ty haz

9:30 am

You're welcome.

Back from work, with 59 stillleft. Grrr.Nofingerprintcard today.

9:33 am

red, it's quite funny that your no space bar problem ends up making your words look like German compounds.

I need to get some canned air.

9:33 am

or a web address Nofingerprintcard.com

But I am glad to provide entertainment...

9:34 am

It sounds like a political movement against id.

but i am for id. I have been begging for the darn card....

9:35 am

They want to give us id cards at about £100000 each.

9:35 am

How much?? thats ridiculous.

Just popping in to say that there's no way mi6 is a word. Sounds totally made up.

in fact, i am always surprised that most people do not wear plastic cards with their photos and certifications on them at work...

9:36 am

Don't try to tell Al Fayed that MI6 is made up.

9:36 am

I'm exaggerating slightly, FMitch. Only slightly though.

9:37 am

But superflippy, I agree with you about mi6, It doesn't ring true.

9:39 am

Right, I'd better stir myself and do a couple of errands. It's a horrible day outside and tomorrow's forecast is even worse. See you later, perhaps.

9:40 am

*waves* Bye Haz

9:40 am

Byee!

9:41 am

Bye, Haz!

Okgoingtosleep.feeling crummy and stupid,not because of the hard grid though...

Have nice days all...must gobuy canned air!!!

9:45 am

bye red and Haz

9:45 am

Bye, redturtle.

9:47 am

*sleepwalks back into chatlog*

9:49 am

(shhhh... No one wake EvaN.)

9:49 am

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

9:49 am

*on tiptoe, whispers* Hello. (Finger to lips)

9:50 am

(Hello, hydra.)

9:53 am

(Hi Vic. I'm not making much progress today. Too many i's and n's.)

9:54 am

(why IS EvaN trying to babble when asleep?)

9:54 am

home straight ... 9 left...

9:54 am

shhhhhhh

9:55 am

(Don't you ever dream of Babble, FM? Maybe we're all figments in her dream. Yikes!)

9:55 am

(sorry)

9:55 am

(What a nightmare!)

9:55 am

(For her or for us?)

9:56 am

(Didn't mean to insult you all. Who would want to dream of a fat, ginger, bespectacled Liverpudlian, i.e. moi?)

9:57 am

LOL hydra!! (oops sorry)

9:57 am

(Well, we can't all be George Clooney now, can we?)

9:57 am

OH, NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID, FM!

9:58 am

(Urf, don't mention him again, all sorts of problems earlier. At least I didn't shout)

9:58 am

(tee hee)

9:58 am

(I'm not even Georgina Clooney!! Wot did I miss earlier?)

9:59 am

Just earlier George seemed to be what everyone around here was dreaming of.

9:59 am

Handbags at dawn over who was his #1

9:59 am

Not everyone!

10:00 am

True enough. FM stayed above the fray. And I stayed below it.

10:00 am

I've only got a thing about Sean Bean. Don't suppose Americans have heard of him! Sean Bean as the gamekeeper in Lady Chatterly. Or as Sharpe in his tight white britches. Oooh, I'm having a hot flush!

10:01 am

Yes, I think he was in one of the James Bond movies. And of course he was in LOTR.

10:01 am

hoses hyrda down lol

10:01 am

Phew. I needed that! (Shakes water off hair)

10:02 am

Trips over EvaN in the process, wake up sleepy time to go home.

10:02 am

Poor EvaN's a little damp, too, I see.

10:03 am

And turning ginger. The dye's coming out!

10:03 am

Ha ha

10:03 am

Uh oh. She won't recognize herself when she comes to.

10:04 am

It certainly doesn't help with that beard you have drawn on her Vi!

10:04 am

Who, me? Never!

10:04 am

You're the one holding the grease paint.

10:04 am

Just look at your hands

10:04 am

Hee heee! She's turned into Ginger Spice without makeup.

10:04 am

Indellible ink

10:04 am

What?!? You've been drawing on my hands, too?

10:05 am

My record is unblemished today and will remain so thank you!

10:05 am

And you've blacked out my glasses. I can't Babble any more now!

10:05 am

Not if I can blemish it, it won't!

10:07 am

I gues sI should expect no less

10:07 am

*stirs in her sleep*

10:07 am

(Now look what we've done! Don't give her a mirror)

10:08 am

Alas, I must brush daughter's snarly hair preparatory to braiding it. And then the school-time rigamarole begins...

10:08 am

*steps backa pace or two*

10:08 am

And perhaps it's best if I'm gone by the time EvaN wakes up...

10:08 am

I had better help you Vi, wait for meeeee

10:09 am

*snorts* *yawns* *rolls over*

10:09 am

Darn that woman can move fast!

10:10 am

*melts into the shadows again and peace decends on the log, for now*

10:11 am

can't believe I tuned into the chat to watch EvaN's waking event! Good morning babblers

10:11 am

I'm already in them, FMitch. Don't stand on my toe!

10:12 am

Hi inge

10:12 am

aah, those British babblers are causing trouble again

10:12 am

Not me, Ive been as good as gold.

10:13 am

The log wil be testament to that

10:13 am

must be imitation gold

10:13 am

*grin*

10:14 am

*settles back into a slumber*

10:14 am

Gee, I am still on teh car theme. Waht is the icon theme for today?

10:14 am

Oh for heaven sake EvaN WAKE UP!!!!

10:14 am

I wonder if EvaN manages to finish teh grid in hre sleep

10:14 am

*rolls over and mumbles "geometric shapes" in her sleep*

10:15 am

lol

10:15 am

Afternoon, inge!

10:16 am

( f i r e w o r k s )

10:16 am

Hello everyone

10:16 am

Hi peri!

10:16 am

Well done Ema!

10:16 am

hi peri

10:16 am

Congrats Ema and Hi peri.

10:16 am

ty

10:17 am

Hi guys - just a quick question - my mum is here and wants to check out her account on my pc, but I can't log out. Is there something I need to do other than click on the log out thingy?!

10:17 am

congrats Ema

10:17 am

Hi peri

10:17 am

Gee, EvaN was giving me a REAL answer about icon theme in her sleep! Here I go looking for a geometric shape B RB

10:18 am

I never bother with logging out, denny. I just go straight back to the Google homepage.

10:18 am

Hi Dennys, hitting the log out option should be all you need to do.

10:19 am

FMitch - it's just not working. I click on it, the page refreshes, but it's not logging me out at all. I may need to clear my cache - oooer missus!!!

10:19 am

Hydra - not sure how that would alter babble??

10:20 am

lol that might do it.

10:20 am

I thought she meant she wanted to check her bank account, not her Babble account!

10:22 am

What I meant was that I never bother with the Babble log out box. If I want to do anything else, I just open a fresh window.

10:23 am

good morning all!

10:23 am

Passes hydra a nice cup of tea, shhhhh dear

10:23 am

Hi arwenn

10:23 am

10:25 am

I am babbling from Liverpool

10:26 am

What part, Ema? I come from Liverpool 18 but live down South now.

10:26 am

I live in Mossley Hill

10:27 am

Elmsley Road

10:27 am

OH NO!!!! That's where I lived for 22 years!

10:27 am

OK I did the icon change. Is EvaN awake yet?

10:27 am

Wow!!!!

10:27 am

I was there a few weeks ago. I'm thinking of buying a house there and moving back. Small world!

10:28 am

When I was a kid, I rode at a riding school in Elmsley Rd. Bet it's long gone.

10:28 am

See if you can wake her inge. Nice icon btw

10:28 am

Yep - just residences and lots of nurseries now !

10:29 am

how many words today?

10:29 am

well, that was weird - managed to log onto m y mum's account and it then let me log straight back out again!! LOL Hydra - suppose i should have been more specific!!!

10:29 am

116

10:30 am

If I see you on Babble again, I'll let you know when I'm coming up. I stay with a friend who is a school librarian.

10:30 am

doing laundry, bbs

10:30 am

well, why wake her? If all our chatter isn not waking her, why bother? We could talk about her and see what happens.

10:30 am

That would be nice.

10:32 am

bye all ..

10:32 am

Getting lunch, then shopping for supplies before the storm tonight, and then YMCA class. BBL

the show is one big "stroke fest"

1:07 pm

Eastern Promises is a brutal movie but Viggo did a marvelous job....

1:07 pm

did not see any of the nominated film but read "No country for old men" - (great book) - and heard from brothers that the movie was great

1:11 pm

sorry Jean, no can do...lol

some friend YOU are

1:12 pm

tytyty - "taking a bow with a flourish with my fedora" - re-lol Jean...

don't believe you even HAVE a fedora. Probably a beret

1:13 pm

a BERET ? moi ??

oui, toi

1:14 pm

beret and a Camel cigarette hanging louchly outof the side of your mouth.

louchly?

1:14 pm

actually, the fedora is only a figment of a number of babblers'imagination...however, it's been immortalized by it's inclusion in FM's penalty box image ( and no, i don't own a beret either...)

1:14 pm

I think I just made that word up

1:15 pm

more likely a Galoise...

1:15 pm

adds louchly to the dictionary

1:15 pm

louchly...hummm nice word... i like the sound of it...

1:15 pm

Galoise, yeah, that would work too

gauloise

1:15 pm

right

they stink

1:16 pm

yes, they really do

1:16 pm

nah, i quit smoking ages ago... and always found the Gauloise to stink !

1:16 pm

I used to love my unfiltered Camels

1:16 pm

hey Jean, GMTA !!

1:17 pm

bye all - must attend to some domestic tasks including folding clothes... happy babbling all - see you all tomorrow !

1:19 pm

1:19 pm

bye Aloy

1:22 pm

See you all tomorrow have a good time :)

1:22 pm

bye Sadie

1:23 pm

i smoke camels, wish they sold them in more places

1:24 pm

do you prefer dromedaries or bactians?

1:25 pm

You have heard of the Fire Brigade's reluctance to let their firemen go into a house where people have been smoking cigarettes? If you're having a Fire Prevention visit, some fire brigades want the householders not to have smoked for an hour beforehand, so as to provide a safe environment for the firemen. If they HAVE smoked, the firemen can carry out a risk assessment before they decide to proceed.

1:26 pm

watching a loved one with lung & brain tumors should cure anyone... awful & painful death

1:27 pm

i'm sure it is, wouldn't wish that on anyone

1:27 pm

wow. couldnt they go in with their breathing apparatus on??

1:27 pm

worse is for those that never smoked themselves, just lived with smokers; any parent who smokes should be shot

1:28 pm

i dont smoke around non-smokers anyway

1:28 pm

I don't know, Atalante. It's all to do with providing safe environments for workers, but I thought firemen would face much greater hazards than that.

1:28 pm

you would think, wouldn't you, Haz?

1:29 pm

You would. It's taking things to a logical conclusion, I suppose, but it strikes me as odd.

1:29 pm

their lungs are so sensitized, and it's cumulative

1:30 pm

I honestly think it's just management thinking up ways to fulfil the requirements of the law in case someone takes them to court in a few year's time claiming that it was the home visits that caused their problems.

1:31 pm

ru6,21 and in6,30 are left

okay, thx, mom, stid

5:36 pm

I have not seen Hurshy for quite some time now, has anyone seen her lately?

5:36 pm

what does it start with, Stid?

5:36 pm

got it!!! woo-hoo!!!!!

she was on in the middle of the nite last nite

yay, stid

5:36 pm

Congratulations and flowers to Stid

5:36 pm

it was the UR 7

5:36 pm

hurshy doesn't often play when I do

did you feel like banging your head when you got it, stid? I did. :(

5:37 pm

thanks Mom

5:37 pm

sometimes I see her during the day, and sometimes at night.

5:37 pm

I sure did, tyger! LOL it sorta jumped out at me all of a sudden

5:38 pm

thanks Stid for the UR 7 word

with the weird U words - that one shouldn't have taken so long. I think it was my last, too

5:38 pm

fi5/16 last one, please

5:38 pm

you're welcome Mom, I guess -- now you can focus on the more unusual words...

5:38 pm

I will give it a shot, Stid

5:38 pm

fi 5/16 the last is a plural of hte last fi 4

those first 2 ur words ... ptui

5:39 pm

and hello squrrell

or should I say "words"? :P

5:39 pm

Hi Squrell

5:39 pm

typing is really shot at the moment.

hey, squrl

5:39 pm

hi

5:40 pm

okay, I am going to head out and lie down. thanks for the encouragement and help all. See you again soon!

I found 2 actual words in today's grid that are not on the list

later, stid

5:40 pm

Hello all

I'm here to clue, squrl, but only for a little while

hey, jilli

5:41 pm

As usual, I just missed stid!

5:41 pm

bye bye Stid

5:41 pm

Hi Jilli

5:41 pm

hi tyger

she prolly won't be back. she finished just before leaving

the disadvantage of smaller grids is that people don't hang around as long - but I still prefer shorter ones (tho not TOO short) :)

between 100 & 200 seems about right to me :)

5:45 pm

I don't know, Tyger, I tend to hang around even on the small grids, must not be that smart. :)

well, mom, you see me here. :) and I finished around 10:00 this AM, central time

5:46 pm

we just love to chat.

5:46 pm

I only have 53 words -- too tired last night to get to my usual goal, and today the ISP was down until mid-afternoon -- some sort of trouble with phone lines -- I couldn't call on the land line but the cell worked!

I didn't have time to clue then, so I came back

yup

and I enjoy helping people

5:47 pm

sorry phone rang on my last word,lol

5:47 pm

I like to help too, when I can

are you less tired today, jilli?

5:47 pm

fi5/16, i didnt get that clue, sorry

5:48 pm

i pluraled all the 4's i thought

fi5/16 there are 2 - do you know which one you want? 1st is a comparative of preceding fi4/7

5:48 pm

I'm ok today but was busy and it's bridge night so there's no hope for this one even though it's not huge.

5:48 pm

last one, please

2nd fi5/16: latin for done

or end

5:50 pm

ty for the help

5:50 pm

Jilli, have fun at bridge

5:50 pm

I gather this baby is full of weirdies?

add a cons and you have an english word for "complete"

yes, jilli, it is

5:50 pm

I will, mom -- thanks!

5:50 pm

you're welcome, Jilli

second mom's wishes

5:51 pm

I have Latin for "done" but there's no H for the English word, lol

never could comprehend bridge, but I understand the pleasure in complex challenges :)

son just asked me about dinner, so any last requests? :)

5:52 pm

yes, I would like to request pizza for dinner

5:52 pm

only about 63, tyger, lol!

5:52 pm

sorry, there is 3 of the fi5/16, last one i dont have

3rd fi5 is not a 16, squrl

fishes are fi5 - refers to their means of locomotion; ends in sometimes vowel

I think we

I think we

5:54 pm

Tyger, Squrell wants the third of the 3 Fi 5/16's

oops I think we're going to Captain D's :) don't think they've got it, mom :D

5:54 pm

oh man, Captain D's is good though

5:54 pm

ty

oops, there is a 3rd; sorry

5:55 pm

at least I think that is what they are asking

fi5/16 is plural of preceding fi4/7

5:55 pm

the 3rd fi5/16 is definitely the pl of the fi4/7 before it

snap, jilli :)

5:55 pm

lol, tyger!

change last cons of fi4/8 to next letter, and that'll give you the last fi4/7

and he's standing there waiting on me

gotta go; later all

5:56 pm

have a good time Tyger

5:56 pm

what's for dinner, tyger?

5:57 pm

Jilli, they are going to Captain D's

5:58 pm

What's at Captain D's? Don't have it here

5:58 pm

It is a fish place, like Long John Silver's

5:58 pm

and I believe they have chicken also

5:59 pm

deep fried foods

5:59 pm

Mom, we don't have that here either -- no chains at all on this island -- but we do get good fish and we have excellent restaurants too.

6:00 pm

ah, they are definitely a chain store. I envy you, no chain places

6:00 pm

So we're not tempted to gorge on deep fried foods! Fish and chips and crab cakes are about it.

6:01 pm

I love crab cakes

6:01 pm

Fresh halibut fish and chips are divine too

6:02 pm

I have never had fish that was not breaded.

6:03 pm

Oh my! You should try dover sole amandine some day -- so easy!

6:03 pm

do you bake it?

6:03 pm

the fish in F&C is in a light batter -- lovely

6:04 pm

that sounds really good

6:06 pm

No, mom. First you toast some almonds lightly (I use the toaster oven and watch it carefully. Then fry the fillets in butter for only a couple of minutes. Put them on a plate, add more butter if necessary and squeeze lemon juice into it, then the toasted almonds. Pour that over the fish. Do NOT overcook the fish!

6:07 pm

that sounds absolutely delicious

6:07 pm

Dover sole fillets are very thin. You fry them only until they lose transparency. It is absolutely delicious and SO eady!

6:08 pm

that's easy too :)

6:08 pm

I knew what you meant

6:08 pm

I will have to hunt down some dover sole.

6:09 pm

You can use other white fish too

6:09 pm

my sweetie likes fish, so that will work out just fine

6:09 pm

Hi. Jilli, you use sliced almonds?

6:09 pm

Hi Dorens

6:09 pm

yes, Dorens

6:10 pm

I don't suppose it would be quite as good with olive oil substituted for the butter, eh?

6:10 pm

NO WAY!!!

6:10 pm

Hi mom... you guys are making me hungry and I'm in the middle of eating my yummy meat loaf

6:11 pm

I love meatloaf

6:11 pm

no, that's what I thought Jilli... the butter flavor is key there

6:11 pm

oh, that sounds delish too!

6:11 pm

butter (or margarine if you must) is essential!

6:12 pm

It is.... I haven't made it in ages and it is a nice treat... with Pureed Cauliflower standing in for mashed potatoes

6:12 pm

nope, it will have to be butter here

6:12 pm

oh no, no margarine, if you're going to go for the buttery flavor, then butter it is... sweet butter, not salted (my preeference)

6:13 pm

well, this needs salted butter, so you don't need to add salt.

6:13 pm

ur 512 please not the u-scarce one

6:13 pm

hi ruru

6:14 pm

sorry ruru, have to go to the bathroom and make ur***

6:27 pm

lol, Krista and what did you send her?

6:28 pm

It's an application on Facebook through which you buy and sell people's photos..a silly kind of thing. I sent her some goofy man dressed as an artist..beret, palette, etc...not quite as shocking as hers.

6:29 pm

first in 5/16 and last in 5/12 please?

6:29 pm

To say the least.

6:29 pm

off color, such a nice way of saying it

6:29 pm

Hi Praise

6:29 pm

6:29 pm

Nutty, Krista says you need to be punished

Ok, hanging on here..... down to 86 already... how is everyone else doing ?

7:43 pm

Yay Natts..... now clue me for the ur7 please..... lol...

7:43 pm

congrats, lady

7:43 pm

7:45 pm

thanks, lady!

7:45 pm

DOH !!!!! Now pass me the biggest fish you can find !!!!! thanks Ladyxxxx

7:46 pm

I think I could do these grids much more quickly if there was a "flip" function (where you could spin the board around)... these backwards, upsidedown tracks often stump me

7:46 pm

Hubby just offered to hit me with a tin of tuna !!!!!

7:46 pm

you are very welcome, and I wouldn't consider that a fish word

7:46 pm

lol aussie... how kind of him
