I had my first official load of shit day for soccer club today! and I am very pleased with how I handled it... being secretary of a male-dominated club is certainly joyous

2:49 am

hi lynxxx and red!

hi red :)

hi lynxx :)

2:49 am

nice going mrP

Hi Mr P good job with the males.

I had to deal with a bastard bunch of buerocrats from the Soccer Associate of NSW... I think they crapped their pants when I walked in the door. They realised they couldn't screw me cause my legs are firmly crossed and my ass is flat on the floor

2:51 am

sorry, i'm back got distracted by shopping

2:52 am

hi mva

Hi Ardilla, again...

get this.... I was shown to a meeting room, and the head of KDSA says, 'this is the naughty room, this is where people who have done bad things come'.... I wanted to slap him so hard! what is that??? kindergarten?

2:54 am

wow!

2:54 am

what an asshole (pardon my french)

asshole is the variable I use when I don't want to use the C word... cause I am classier than that LOL

2:55 am

lol... you got it. And you are.

2:55 am

creep?

well, they got to see my impression of Ghandi

We play these games to keep do6,27 away.

2:56 am

lol MRP bureaucracy, power, they go straight to some peoples head - usually the obnoxious ones!

I like creep, that describes many a man.

ie, really pissed off!

2:56 am

ahhhhh sin bin for lyn!

In honor of Lil Monkey. Lynxx said a woooooooord.

2:57 am

damn - can I plead a typo - that should have had an s on the end

sin bin?

2:58 am

nah, no good lyn, it still would have displayed the whole word :)

Lynxx, *points to the door*

2:58 am

gfball: posting a grid word in the chat is punishable by some undefined time in the penalty box, aka sin bin.

2:58 am

or penalty box...where you go if you type a grid word

2:58 am

sigh...OK...thats twice tonite

too right lynxx... I had to remind them that they were 'paid' bureaucrats and I was just a lone volunteer who had not done anything untoward... and perhaps instead of criticizing me, they should be assisting me to get the right things done for our club... that is what they get paid for!

2:59 am

gfb there are normally treats in there

3:00 am

dragnet is bugging me

Its ok Lynxx, I am at work, which means I am distracted and will probably join you soon.

drag net??

3:00 am

treats, a boxing ball, great company, a jacuzzi and many many other goodies :D

3:01 am

3:02 am

I did a year's books at my daughters afterschool centre, unbelievable! I couldn't even go to the AGM (was Treasurer too). The last 'volunteer' work I ever did. Fools would be mild description, the whole lot of them! (and I am a bookkeeper/accountant)

I try to avoid those things.

and for me its pretty easy since I skip town every 3 months! LOL.

3:03 am

there are usually way too many games of power and politics in volunteer work.

3:14 am

TY Kronus

3:14 am

Sprite "more so"

I am De***. dont get it either.

3:15 am

oOOH.

as soon as I said that i figured it out.

3:16 am

clue for re9 pls?

3:16 am

wow, my first 8 and 9. And I am not that far from finishing. Biggie blindness here.

3:16 am

thanks ardilla :)

3:17 am

desert and deserted, for the re8/9

3:17 am

my first 8 and 9 and i'm a long way from finishing!

And I am not getting the clues tonight.

3:18 am

another clue pls?

3:19 am

betray, abandon, desert re8. Past tense 9

I get the idea of the clue but I guess I dont know the word, so now I feel really De***

3:20 am

i got it, but to me the word is more along the lines of a rebellious type of person

3:20 am

re + say it isn't so ****t*, change T into another consonant.

3:21 am

ty sprite and kronus for the extra hint

Ok still lost. and I feel its right under my nose...

3:22 am

def is: a person who deserts a party or cause for another

3:22 am

me too red!

3:22 am

one who goes against authority

3:22 am

TY Sprite & Kronus...not an 're' word as such Red

3:23 am

for some obscure reason I keep seeing birthright

3:24 am

re + 1/2 hawaiian goose + when my teacher *r**** my test, she gave me a C+

3:24 am

ah, and once you found it, try another last vowel for another 8

Ahhhh TY ardilla. Much better,

I hope you didnt really get a C+

3:25 am

ty ardilla

3:25 am

nope, was a AB student

3:25 am

3:26 am

thx again sprite 1 more 8 and 5 more 7s

3:26 am

tks sprite

3:26 am

ty sprite

Sprite, you werent a bad cluer, I just couldnt quite get it, totally my issue.

3:26 am

you're not a bad cluer; it was a tough word *hug*

3:27 am

the whole purpose of a clue is that somebody el4 can 'get' it, lol, so if no one can, it is a bad clue

3:27 am

At nine boys had cooties picked their nose and were just stupid

5:46 am

Um no

Then again i didn't even kiss a boy until i was 18 and didn't have a boyfriend until i was 19

5:47 am

thats what I thought. How times change!

5:49 am

Young girls are far more aggressive than they used to be. Please protect Mousey.

Not really my b.f had intermat relations with girls at 13 *sorry my spell check is busted*

5:50 am

Lady I love the picture of your cat! We have a new "puss monster" also I addopted her from the animal shelter. She is six months old and I named her Zoe. What a sweet heart :)

Oh lovely Hodag. is this the kitty that is just getting used to people? Thanks i took the photo this arvo

5:51 am

Yippee for animal adoptions and rescues.

Yah for rescue kittys.

5:52 am

i'm back again

Mines a rescue too

Ardialla are you ok now?

evening again! :)

5:52 am

Belive me his mom will sure do that! There are so meny animals and so few homes!:(

MR PRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIE

5:53 am

hi merp and Ardilla:)

(((infern!)))... we loved the pressies! Thanks so much!!

THats ok

5:53 am

yeah, had a chat with big bro who gave me hug and took out my trash for me

5:54 am

is mind gone?

5:54 am

hi mrp

I want another 2 kittys from the pet store as they have been there for so long. It would cost me about $1000 to get them both desexed

5:54 am

scrabbs!!! *hugs*

ah, no infern... they will move them to another store... dont fret

hi scrabs :)

No its an independant store they have been there for about 2 or 3 months now.

5:55 am

holy cow!!:(

Mr Pres glad you and yours loved the chocolate goodness

5:55 am

hi hodag

The $1000 is the snippy snippy and the shots.

well, they have a duty of care infern

5:56 am

Good Morning friends....I

5:57 am

hi lori

They do. Im not worried. they are just so pretty. Hi Lori

... and this is exactly why I disapprove of pet store holding live animals

morn lori :)

I just send out happy kitty buying vibes and spoil my cat even more rotten

5:57 am

woops, I have adopted all of the pets I have ever owned from an animal shelter. They make wonderful pets!!

5:58 am

here it is about $75.00 and I thought that was bad! Zoe will be an inside kitty with the exception of being leash trained.

I have to leash train the kitty

infer, in the 80's, I would go to the pet shops in the major shopping centres and aske to take the animals home for the weekend... as they were closed from 12pm Sat - 9am Mon, they always accomodated

5:59 am

We live in the country and sadly many people over the years, have dropped kittens off near our home and we have taken them all in!!! Thankfully this does not occur much anymore!!!

hodag... it is bullshit how much they charge in pet shops for a mongrel

I don't like pet stores but this is an independent store. OH Mr Pres way cute. I wouldn't be able to give them back.

5:59 am

Hi mr p, lori, herin, hodag and anyone else i missed

5:59 am

Oh MrP...that was a wonderful idea!!! Cheers to you!!!

6:00 am

Hi Pink...

6:00 am

hints for the dhs pls?

6:00 am

hi Loei. I agree merp:)

6:00 am

Just started ardilla..sorry

and now... it is appalling to see these animals, no pedigree or nothing! sitting behind a glass screen for months at a time with disgusting prices attached

6:00 am

hey ardilla

Mr Pres I agree my parents bought a Staffy from a breeder for about $500 no papers but they got to see the parents and such. People forget about the hip scores and all that when buying a puppy farm dog or cat from the pet store.

who started?? I am just here for the social scene!

btw, had a complication tonight with my central line... had to get a nurse out

6:02 am

Mr.P...I refuse to go into any pet store that has live animals behind glass!!! Or just in cages!!! I feel this is sooo wrong!

6:02 am

what happened mr p

oh lori! totally agree!

My friend got her 4 BIG dogs from http://www.dogzonline.com.au

6:03 am

LoL to the start Mr.P, I also just love the company!

Mr Pres again and owies

I broke out in an amazing bubbling rash... even though I TOLD the nurse today not to used a certain solution on my skin... It was blistering again and I had a nurse come at 8.40pm to change and fix it

6:04 am

I am back--was off checking e-mail. Hi all who entered.

6:04 am

was it an allergic reaction?

My friend has 4 pure breed dogs all rescues. 1 will never be a pet 1 is not child friendly (she was tormented as a pup thus 8 foot high fence and muzzle when she goes and and lots of training, the other 1 dumb as but cute not sure of the new one

OWIES Mr Pres

6:04 am

when you adopt from a shelter you are saving a life! Years ago I helped run this shelter so I know what takes place on both sides! Not always a pretty picture!

6:05 am

awww...mrp...are you better now?

yes pink, to the sterile cleaner combined with the ob-site dressing

6:06 am

are you feeling better now?

Hodag and the animals thank you for it.

6:06 am

yeah, i volunteer at the animal shelter/vet clinic here

oh ard, am so better (including phenergan 25mg) and a glass of wine and calamine lotion! I am a true hero of the central line

dang it my web just crashed

6:06 am

the animals are so great...we have a kitten and several puppies that are litter mates

ok, am getting a to the minute pic of me up on my bio... anyone interested in seeing the festing foundation??

6:07 am

I always support my local shelter Hodag....This is where the majority of my pets have come from, Unless they were drop offs!!!

Yah for calamine lotion. Even though some pharmacies say bar to it

I want about 4 more pets.

6:07 am

yes you are merp.:) wtg Ardella:)

Ok Mr Pres ill say yes

damn it. If i go away my net is being stupid

6:08 am

i wish i could take one with me but it's not allowed in the dorms

6:09 am

I'm looking for another border collie since my rescue collie died at age 16 in October.

6:09 am

We have a miniture doxen that was also abused before we got her. She has been with us 5 years now. She still has a problem with company but is wonderful with us!!1 Most loving of all our pets.

6:09 am

*nudges herin's net with a crutch to get back in line*

6:10 am

Very cute, Lady.

6:10 am

Ahh Gail sorry about your dog although it sounds like you had many years of great company!!! Some people do not understand how hard it is to lose a pet!! To me it is like losing a family member.

6:10 am

holy crap!!!

6:11 am

Whats that hodag>>>

6:11 am

A pet is a family member!

6:11 am

She had a great big smile for people she liked. I do miss that silly grin. She was a wonderful dog.

6:11 am

Yes indeed Scrabbs!!!!

DId you know that most people would take a 10% pay cut if they could take their pets to work

6:12 am

I'm in that percentage herin!!!

Scrabbler i have been meaning to tell you about the bunnies for ages

6:13 am

don't mind me I,m not sure what that was for!!!

6:13 am

Oh okay hodag, just wanted to make sure you were okay!!!

SOmeone i know has a Habbie Trail set up for her mice all over her computer area to keep them happy and her calmer

6:13 am

I am tyLOL:)

6:14 am

When I visited the Burton flagship store and headquarters (snowboard company) in Burlington, Vermont in Oct 2006, there were dogs everywhere! And well-behaved at at that. On leashes, of course.

Hodag you ok?

6:14 am

yep:)

6:15 am

Dogs are welcome most places here in Vermont. Many doctor's offices like ours have them.

6:15 am

Herin, my daughter brought home a pet rat once. I told her there was no way I was going to house a rodent!!! Well, long story short... She kept the rat, I feel in love, and cried like a baby when he died!!1

My friends 2 dogs are very well trained and told not to mouth things. ONe would inhale a small child his mouth is so bit (French Mastiff) great big slobbering beast

6:15 am

Good morning, everyone

HI Merk

6:26 am

hi merk

Question

6:29 am

just got the bo6/7

6:29 am

shoot herin

There is a bo 6 7 combo?

6:30 am

Not that far yet, herin, don't know

6:30 am

yes, bo4/6 + a** is just a number

6:30 am

then pl

never mind i got it. Yes my question is if you tell me that you will drive me to the store would you think that they person would have to pay for the gas?

6:31 am

only if it was agreed on earlier

There was no mention of it till this eve so i said don't bother ill catch a bus. I don't have $20 spare ($10 for gas and coffee for the)

6:32 am

With today's prices, if I asked you to take me to the store, I would offer to pay. If I were invited by someone to go to the store, it would depend on the conversation and how far away the store was.

6:33 am

then no

Oh i do pay gas money if i ask you for a ride but not if you are going to give me a ride. I will buy you a coffee or what ever

6:33 am

That's right, Herin ... same here.

6:33 am

Was it a 6,7 combo?

Yes it was Merk

6:34 am

Hi all another break from work and back to babble yeeehhh!!!

hi ardilla

Same as people helping me move on Friday. i will make coffee and sandwiches and a diabetic cake for helpers. I now make all my own stuff and i don't like to buy coffee out

Merk sounds like me asking for Porridge with a cold.

6:35 am

I'm done wth bo, hehe

6:39 am

You're moving. I didn't realize that. Usually my nose is buried in the grid. I can't be here for awhile so I'm enjoying my time here today. Are you moving far?

6:40 am

No im not moving far. Im going about 20min walk about about a 2 k walk

6:41 am

that's not too far, herin

6:41 am

Don't have the ar Ardilla

Sorry i was reading the news. horrific accident happened right on the road that we traveled on on that weekend. Shudder. I hated driving down that road my self on the weekend.

6:41 am

6:42 am

It starts out like a science class and ends like an English goodbye

Thanks Pms i was about to clue it

6:42 am

Oh PMS, you clue them wonderfully. I am so poor at cluing, which is why my nose is usually in the grid.

6:43 am

And it gave me the i 4,4.

7:03 am

How will your cat take the move, Herin?

Don't know we have a massive Airlines dog carrier for her to be put in so i don't have to worry about her

7:09 am

I thought I was halfway, but still have 98 to go so I won't make it. No cheers for me today from Carlee. If I could wake up, I'd do better. I think I'd better make coffee.

Kitty has a spotless dirt box every day. Its clumping litter. She has her blankie in the new crate now. Her old crate and this one have always been open for her to go in. and she will have her fuzzy blankie in the crate before we move

7:09 am

Walter told the greatest story the other day. We were coming home with the cargo trike. The sky was dark blue, and the contrails (nearby airport) were bright orange. Walter pointed out the crescent moon, then said it was collecting the contrails and putting them in a tree. I have to do a painting of that image.

Its good to see everyone that i miss

I've copied your address, but be warned, I don't find much time to write family these days so don't take it personally if there are communication gaps!

No thats fine Monkey. Just good to see you live

lol @ communication gaps - i am a communication gap

Ah, 16... a whole new set of interesting things! I am 12 years older than my brother, and 15 older than my sister, so I remember that sort of thing well.

9:29 am

wb BR

9:29 am

Still, it's a relief that de6/24 is still accepted.

9:30 am

oh yes. what is that de6/24 by the way?

9:30 am

(Are you a trouble-maker, Haz?)

The origin of North Carolina's nickname is grounded, at least in part, in one of the state's major products during the Colonial Era -- tar. The tar was made by slowly burning the wood of longleaf pine trees. One legend attributes the name to the laborers who walked out of the woods with the sticky black substance on their shoes. Other stories go back to the Revolutionary War, when North Carolina soldiers continued marching after wading through a river coated with the viscous liquid. We like the explanation on the state's official web site for its colorful and imaginative dialog. It traces the nickname's source to the Civil War. Retreating soldiers left a column of North Carolinians to battle the enemy alone. Later, the North Carolinians met the fleeing troops and told them for the next battle we'll put tar on your heels to make them stick. Gen. Robert E. Lee, on hearing the story, reportedly exclaimed, "God bless the Tar Heel boys."

9:30 am

We have to wait until somebody wants it clued.

jeepers creepers - hope that helps

9:31 am

Scarlet once called me a stirpot. I was so pleased.

all your brains could fit in a thimble

10:48 am

oh i think she's a real stitch!

10:48 am

otch, nbj

10:48 am

just playin

10:49 am

*ouch

10:49 am

Hello, again. I see Haz just can't keep herself from the sewing!

10:49 am

hi sassy

10:49 am

I'm hyperventilating.

10:49 am

she loooooves it sew

10:49 am

wb vi

10:49 am

She's sharp as a pin!

10:49 am

hello all

10:50 am

Hello Vicuna. It's too much for one day, handling a needle AND sewing words being bandied about.

10:50 am

hi sassy

10:50 am

gonna he4 in about 10 mins

10:50 am

Hello sassy.

10:50 am

hi everyone!! any clues for the 9's?

10:51 am

any clues needed?

10:51 am

hi deb

10:51 am

Poor Haz. Just put on your tin-foil hat to block out the sewing vibes. (It'll be just like a big he4/d-thimble!)

10:51 am

yes aredilla= the te8 pls

10:51 am

re9 - a rebellious PAST TENSE

10:52 am

Speaking of tin foil, where is young Uniquity these days?

10:52 am

re + 1/2 hawaiian goose + when my teacher *r**** my report, she gave me a C+

10:52 am

le9/72 - comparative relating to measurement

10:52 am

te + rodent + robot ending

10:52 am

oooo! I just made a 9 letter word in scrabble!

10:53 am

Very nice, Ata! Did it have a lot of x's in it, too?

10:53 am

wow, woot ata!

10:53 am

An airhead wouldn't be able to do that, Atalante.

10:53 am

nice ardilla- got it

10:53 am

ty haz

10:53 am

Good point, Haz. I wonder if the aliens abducted her?

10:53 am

only one x in scrabble

10:53 am

hi jean

10:53 am

Was Ata accused of being an airhe4/6?

10:53 am

no x's *sigh*

10:54 am

any other clues needed?

10:54 am

Is it possible? Does she not have tinfoil extra status?

10:54 am

No, Ata is no airhead. We were discussing whether it would be worse to talk to the air or to an airhead.

10:54 am

hi ardilla and everyone

10:54 am

Maybe the aliens abducted her because they wanted her to teach them her secret tin-foil technology?

10:54 am

thank you for the help with 9's:)

10:54 am

Hello Esprit.

10:55 am

np

10:55 am

hya haz

10:55 am

Hello, Esprit.

10:55 am

That would be sneaky of them. Are aliens known for sneakiness?

10:55 am

not understanding that le9 clue :-(

10:55 am

Oh, absolutely.

10:55 am

esprit- think looonger

10:55 am

le6,27 times width = area

10:55 am

thanks for the 9's Haz!

10:56 am

Esprit, it builds off le6/27 - a dimension. Find the adjective and make it more so.

10:56 am

then comparative

10:56 am

width, height, le**** (how long) is le6

10:56 am

my 9 was against Uni. perhaps she's run away

10:56 am

ah thank you, all I needed was two strokes with the 2 x 4!

10:57 am

Run away? What an awful thought!

10:57 am

where do you play scrabble ata?

10:57 am

Aha! Atalante is the sneaky alien who abducted Uni!

10:57 am

That certainly explains the secret droid army!

10:58 am

on facebook :)

10:58 am

any other clues ne4ed?

10:59 am

I have a whole army of doggy droids somwhere. You know these fighting droids? They look really like dogs, I always think

10:59 am

ne7 please

10:59 am

ho7 ho + bra size + animal homes

10:59 am

atalante kinda said a word

10:59 am

"Somewhere?" You mean you don't even keep track of these things?

10:59 am

You should specify big bra size, ardilla.

11:00 am

no ... that's what my evil undersecretary is for

11:00 am

ne7 = 1/2 hawaiian goose + alli*****

11:00 am

yes...big bra size

11:00 am

whats a hawaiian goose?

11:00 am

Was Tracy Temple John Prescott's evil undersecretary?

11:00 am

thanks

11:01 am

ne4/4 is the Hawaiian goose.

11:01 am

Oh, of course. Evil geniuses just come up with the big evil concepts.

11:01 am

ne repeated

11:01 am

ewww! don#t want to think of that!

11:02 am

can i get clues for fe 6/33 & fe 4/8 usng the f in the first row down?

11:02 am

i get nenegator- apparently not a real word

11:02 am

please

11:02 am

yes. evil genuises just sit back and plot

11:02 am

video killed the ra5 star then past tense for ra7

11:02 am

oh well, never mind- now i know i am an airhead

11:02 am

Half the Hawaiian goose equals ne.

11:02 am

1/2 goose

11:03 am

left or right half?

11:03 am

now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head ardilla... and I only know that one verse! aaarrhh!

11:03 am

fe6/33 - a past tense for fe4/8, f plus the last part of something, I have to fe4/8 off people who want to teach me to sew.

11:04 am

fe4/8 to ward off

11:04 am

the fe 4/8s i have are: what a horse eats, take care of myself, runaway

11:04 am

front or back? Top or bottom?

11:04 am

don't think I'd want a goose bottom

11:04 am

Or, fe4/8 - fe plus a bit of even's opposite

11:04 am

fe + these words are **d (weird)

11:04 am

run away is from the other F nance

11:05 am

Which bit would have the liver in (for the goose)?

11:05 am

ardilla you are a good clue-meister

11:05 am

Heck, you could even split it diagonally.

11:05 am

the middle

11:05 am

ty jean

11:06 am

Wonder if husband has any goose anatomy books handy.....?

11:06 am

thank you - now all i need the an fe 4/8

11:06 am

if he doesn't, he should have

11:06 am

change last vowel to get 2nd re8

11:06 am

Here we are, Outlines of Avian Anatomy by King and McLelland.

11:07 am

I'm thinking that dividing geese is more of a job for the butcher than the vet.

11:07 am

thank y'all - i finished the Os

11:07 am

oh great, the french president comes over here to address parliament and speaks in french! cheek!

11:07 am

which one nance?

11:08 am

Well, does the prime minister speak French when addressing the French? Our president sure doesn't!

11:08 am

The liver is composed of left and right lobes which join cranially in the midline.... the cranioventral parts of each lobe surround the apex of the he5.

11:08 am

fe4/8 to eat

11:08 am

fe4/8 to fight

11:08 am

Tony Blair DID speak French to the French. Then again, so did Ted Heath to disastrous effect.

11:08 am

feed

11:08 am

Good to know, Haz.

11:09 am

the queen speaks french with the french pm

11:09 am

hi liz

11:09 am

so there :P LOL

11:09 am

You're right, lizmac. It is about lunchtime, and I think i will.

11:09 am

Pass it on, Vicuna. Goose liver will be a hot topic of conversation sometime and you'll be well equipped to join in.

11:09 am

oooooops, hi, lurking quietly till now!!

11:09 am

maybe the french pm is not wise enough in the ways of the english language

11:09 am

phantom generate

11:09 am

but you don't address another country in your language

11:10 am

hi pink, take off 2 letters off

11:10 am

Has Bush ever visited France?

11:10 am

good evening everyone. how is everyone

11:10 am

thanks ardilla

11:10 am

of course not, frnace doesn't have oil

11:11 am

Then you are entirely justified in your "cheek", Ata. However, it is quite common for leaders to address other countries in their own language if they don't know the native language of the other country.

11:11 am

And some leaders know fewer languages than others.

11:11 am

France has olive oil.

11:11 am

Hello OrangeCat.

11:11 am

I know, Vi. Was just been tongue-in-cheek in the first place

11:11 am

isn't that why there are translators?

11:12 am

i think italy has more

11:12 am

does Bush know any languages?

11:12 am

ebonics

11:12 am

He's not very fluent in English, anyway.

11:12 am

i don't care for him

11:13 am

right you are vicuna

11:13 am

you were talking about GWB right vicuna?

11:13 am

Yup.

11:13 am

but i haave to respect him as my boss

11:13 am

there are entirely too many Ts

11:13 am

does he speak spanish?

11:13 am

hey jean

11:13 am

that's difficult when the boss is a cretin

11:14 am

hey atalante

11:14 am

spanglish

11:14 am

bush does not speak any foreign languages

11:14 am

You may have to obey him, ardilla, and you may have to speak circumspectly about him, but you do not have to respect him.

11:16 am

good point

11:16 am

Whoops, politics killing the conversation. Back to sewing and tin-foil aliens!

11:16 am

brb

11:16 am

OFF TO GIVE YOUR BOSS THE FINGER, ARDILLA?

11:17 am

Yikes, sorry for yelling.

11:17 am

loooool Vi!

11:17 am

Gosh, Vicuna is in fine voice today.

11:17 am

Especially a comment like that!

11:17 am

Back again just to announce that I just took dog and kid for a walk in th ewoods. Found a coin. Found a coin from 1768. Going to look up how to clean it now. It can go in the cabinet by the wine bottle from 1750.

11:18 am

cool discovery monkey

11:18 am

That's cool, MonkeyGames!

11:18 am

very cool Monkey!

11:18 am

how exciting monkey

11:18 am

hey niamh

11:18 am

what woods are those?

11:19 am

I think I know. His house is in the village, though. He will not see me stopping here to watch his woods fill up with snow.

11:20 am

These are some woods where we can run our dogs at the end of Ramplaan in Haarlem, the Netherlands. Anyway, must trot off and make dinner now!

11:21 am

I'm having a busy day... I'll have to chat with you all another time! happy babbling!

11:22 am

Goodbye, Niamh.

11:23 am

Bye Niamh.

11:27 am

vicuna, you reminded me of a time when I heard that poem read by one of my former professors - it was at the end of a very long and very successful career - and to hear him say those lines at the end "and miles to go before I sleep" was very poignant - He died not long afterwards and we all remember that moment

11:28 am

Poems are like music in that respect. They can be very evocative of a particular moment in a life.

11:28 am

i love the korn song politics

11:30 am

hello friends :)

11:30 am

hi rae

11:30 am

hey raelite

11:30 am

Hello, raelite.

11:30 am

Hello raelite.

11:33 am

hi rae!

11:33 am

hi hi :D I hope everyone is having a lovely day today

11:34 am

hello everyone

11:34 am

hey pab

11:34 am

Hello, pabtrek.

11:35 am

Time I was heading out for a walk - have a good day all!

11:35 am

Byee!

11:35 am

have fun with spangle! watch out for legs of lamb being thrown!

11:35 am

Goodbye, Haz. Enjoy the walk! Good to clear the Babble crumbs from the brain sometimes.

11:35 am

bye Haz

11:35 am

ugh - all that time swimming in the grid and still have 93 left!

11:37 am

hey angela

11:37 am

bye haz

11:37 am

hi nance

11:39 am

I swear...lawyers can be the most condescending SOBs sometimes.

11:39 am

Sometimes?

11:39 am

I'm glad I only do this gig once in a while!

11:39 am

the rest of the time they are asleep

11:39 am

lol Vic - most of the time they are fine to work for, just that little hint of a**holery once in a while.

11:40 am

woo hoo i got a job interview!

11:40 am

yay rae!!

11:40 am

Go, rae, go!

11:40 am

yay rae!! for what job? hopefully not a law office!

11:40 am

It's for tomorrow though...nope...graphic design

11:41 am

good for you = and good luck!!

11:41 am

I had to get all the clothes out of my closet for the exterminator....I don't know what I'm going to wear!

11:41 am

(we have carpenter ants)

11:41 am

lol

11:42 am

I hope they build you something nice, those ants

11:42 am

yeah me too because right now they are a pain in the @$$ I tell you....I'd rather have lawyers!

11:42 am

Throw together some bizarre combination of random clothes and call it artsy. They'll love you!

11:43 am

i used to own a house that had carpenter ants

11:43 am

boy were they ever busy

11:43 am

I think that's what I'll do, Vic...they only want me for my portfolio anyway

11:43 am

uhhhhhhh - no you wouldn't :))))

11:43 am

At least carpenter ants don't charge you for their infestation.

11:43 am

yeah, they are busy!! they are everywhere too

11:43 am

u can't get rid of them can u?

11:43 am

playboy was the same with me rae...all about the portfolio...

11:44 am

well you can kill the nest, apparently, but here on the west coast, they usually will come back

11:44 am

I hear you, ange :)

11:44 am

(Is nance talking about ants or lawyers?)

11:44 am

lol vic...dunno

11:44 am

both - lol

11:44 am

ants

11:44 am

sorry I'm being a smarta$$ - this guy and his paralegal have me all riled up.

11:45 am

gfi angela!

11:45 am

and they are HUGE too...bloody ants

11:45 am

and you can say smartass. we won't be shocked

11:45 am

one of them bit me last night as I was trying to kill it

11:45 am

that's ok - i've always been a smart ass - it's a curse - lol

11:45 am

? ata ? gfi??

11:45 am

(I really should stop the lawyer bashing. I know a number of very good people who are or have been lawyers. But unfortunately they agree with me in my negative opinions, so it hasn't cured me!)

11:45 am

go for it!

11:45 am

It isn't really my ass that's the smart part of me.

11:46 am

its your artistic brilliance, we know

11:46 am

is it your big brain?

11:46 am

I do too Vic- my own personal lawyer is awesome, and I know plenty who are fine, but when you are the worker bee - you are less than dirt.

11:46 am

AH! thanks Ata!!

11:47 am

sorry, I'm so used to using gfi I forget that other people don't necessarily know what I mean!

11:47 am

oh right...gfi...that's a good one

11:47 am

no really - no biggie. all I could think of was the electrical outlet!! LOL

11:47 am

latest "work of art", Vi: http://elegaer.deviantart.com/art/Rosi e-80717344

11:48 am

Oooh, let me check it out...

11:49 am

brb

11:49 am

Oh, Ata, that's absolutely lovely! And all the work that went into the wonderful ears, too! =)

11:50 am

oh yes, the ears from hell!

11:50 am

Don't know why you put quotations around "work of art", though. It's for real!

11:50 am

its just a copy though, really. I worked from a photo, so I don't really count it. Ish. I think

11:51 am

Are you giving it Rosie's people? They will absolutely treasure it.

11:51 am

yes, they've got it. And cried when they saw it :)

11:51 am

back now

11:52 am

It's a different sort of process from working from life or from the imagination, but it's still making the image new, and that's real art.

11:52 am

who are rosie's people?

11:52 am

just being nosey

11:52 am

I suppose so ... it still somehow seems "cheating" though!

11:52 am

The people who had a spaniel named Rosie that Ata drew a portrait of, as shown in the link she posted below.

11:52 am

some of my friends, they had a dog called rosie

11:53 am

aw = how sweet!

11:53 am

I took Hobbit over to see them at the weekend and they cried again at having a spaniel back in the house. Hobbit was on her best behaviour all weekend and was 100% angelic and cuddly, and we did a lot of good by being there

11:54 am

wow Ata - that is so beautiful.

11:54 am

ata- you really captured those gorgeous eyes, well done!

11:55 am

any clues on te 8/45 would be greatly appreciated

11:55 am

thank you :) she was such a lovely girl

11:55 am

I know what you mean. I generally feel a little cheating if I just straight copy a single photo, although I very frequently use photos as references. But I still think if you have made something significantly different from the photograph, which you have, then it counts.

11:56 am

anyone out there? LOL

11:56 am

copying is quite an art in itself sometimes!

11:56 am

te8/45 - resembling a monster (what a great word!!!) te + rodent + robot ending

11:56 am

and its amazing how you can copy a photograph and still somehow give it more life than the photo does

11:57 am

Exactly. Ergo art.

11:57 am

thank you so much vic

11:57 am

ok, I'm persuaded :)

11:57 am

=D

11:57 am

I am jealous of you all as I can only draw stick figures - and not even that well.

11:58 am

Stick figures worked for Keith Haring! lol

11:58 am

that word isn't in my websters dictionay

11:59 am

i believe the last update to the one i have is 1980

11:59 am

what does it mean y'all?

11:59 am

it gets used in medicine as well - te***oma

11:59 am

Well, write it in in the margin, then! I personally intend to use that word three times in conversation today.

12:00 pm

"My children frequently draw te8 figures."

12:01 pm

well a foetus gets horribly messed up and consists of tissue with teeth and a limb or something equally ew, that's a te***oma. I think

12:01 pm

"Gracious! That dust bunny is positively te8!"

12:01 pm

*when a ...

12:02 pm

My dictionary says te---oma is a tumor made up of different types of tissue.

12:02 pm

thanks y'all

12:02 pm

yep! the foetus thing is just a rather extreme example!

12:03 pm

Rather.

12:03 pm

mmmmm...just ordered take out sushi

12:03 pm

from foetuses to sushi. only in babble

12:03 pm

I'll soon have happy belly!!

12:04 pm

lol ata - I tend to switch gears easily and quickly

12:05 pm

I think most babblers do

12:05 pm

well, easy for ME anyway!

12:06 pm

Good afternoon all.......

12:06 pm

1:37 pm

I may have to give up and have a glass of wine.

1:38 pm

you go along thinking, hmmm, lots of perfectly normal words . . . then you hit the likes of gh6/27!!

Ned Flanders and I are both annoyed that it doesn't think "toodle" is a word.

1:39 pm

1:39 pm

1:39 pm

1:39 pm

1:41 pm

1:42 pm

I give my grandchildren oodles of love

5:02 pm

nothings seems to be coming out of it, I didn't notice anything this am, but I was at work all day

5:02 pm

5:14 pm

I'm not sure of Aussie price increases but I can say that I am paying more than I ever have for food and it has seemed to just increase dramatically in the past month or 2...ouch! I hope things improve for you though. I think we'll just eat less :)

5:14 pm

Between the b.f and i we eat about 1 and a half standard meals

5:15 pm

wow -- thunder!! very seldom hear it here

5:15 pm

5:20 pm

Hey Leigh

5:21 pm

Hihihi

Leigh if you can why not.

5:21 pm

you're welcome

5:21 pm

Hi Leigh

5:21 pm

we will have rain starting tonight into next week

I like that argument. =)

5:21 pm

Hi from Denmark

5:21 pm

HEY LEIGH!!! if you want to spend money, I highly recommend helping me with my garden.... so many lovely plants, so little time!

5:21 pm

bo 6/27 - try the scribble in the notebook (a la nDan) and change first letter

I'll come help if you can find me a job.

5:22 pm

are weather here is like negative 2 i cant even go outside right now and my bf wants to have sex what should i do

5:22 pm

Hi Dorritw, from Kentucky

5:22 pm

besides, who's depressed? I just spent a LARGE wad on an aquarium and sand and a light (still need a filter and a UV light) for a turtle we are being given...

5:22 pm

yes, I can spend someone's money too if they so desire :)

My best friend just wired me $20 as i have no money as the b.f owes me $140 and is being dead useless in returning it to me

5:22 pm

hello dorrit!

5:22 pm

hi dorr, my brother and his wife live in Denmark!

Why is it given pets always seem to cost a crap load more than a bought pet

5:23 pm

lots of snow here, got at least 15 inches of it by far. and more comes all the time.

5:23 pm

hello my bf wants sex now!!!

5:23 pm

rofl... I don't know lady -- but I have decided "free" is no bargain. It's just this turtle comes from one of the boys' former science teachers, so it has "added value"

Stid i think the UTB is now a green

5:23 pm

Hi kristinc where?

or yellow

5:24 pm

has anyone raised the alert?

HI dorri

5:24 pm

I think it is moving toward orange.

5:24 pm

i'd say RED

5:24 pm

npkc, we don't discuss things like that here. If you do, I shall have you removed from the chat

5:24 pm

{{LilMonkey}} hello. I changed my picture

5:24 pm

wait what are we talking about

Id say just ignore it

5:24 pm

{MOM} hugs

5:24 pm

stid - you will enjoy the turtle - we had one for 15 years (!) son "adopted" it from a local pond and it was a cool pet

5:24 pm

AH! the last de 6 is a cedar!

5:24 pm

BRB! BF just got home

5:24 pm

Vejle...we have yet to visit, he has just lived there for 6 months or so but his wife is Danish, so it was only a matter of time before she moved home :) We miss them!

5:25 pm

hurry back LilMonkey

How many De 6s ?

5:25 pm

unfortunately it has gone to turtle heaven -

5:25 pm

gent

5:25 pm

yes, he has wanted a turtle for years, but we couldn't find one that was affordable... so now it's still not really affordable, just less un-affordable *getting confused at own argument*

5:25 pm

they do that, JBV... but at least it had a good home for a while.

5:26 pm

Kristinc, my son lives i Massachusets

My dad had a land tortoise (is that right) when he lived in Africa as a boy.

5:26 pm

but once you have the equipment, it doesn't require much upkeep - just the turtle food, etc.

How many De 6s please

arrr its breathing on me again

5:26 pm

5:26 pm

*stretch*

thank

5:27 pm

5:27 pm

oh yeah well my brother lives in a cardbord box what now!!!

5:27 pm

thanks DOrrit, I didn't have that one

JBV that is very sweet

Not depressed, heading for depression, since the recession is soooooo much further along than the government wants us to think

5:27 pm

Dorri, ah so then you know what it is like to have family so far away :) My parents are planning to visit him in June. I think we are hoping to go in May of 2009.

And thank you fro reminding me

5:27 pm

we did things like that for our kids... full-fledged memorial services and all!

5:28 pm

we had wild turtles - biggie box turtles

5:28 pm

why isnt anyone talking to me i feel rejected i might commit sucicide

5:28 pm

{{Ren}} hello

5:29 pm

functionally, no difference, leigh. just semantics. Reality is if people who have money get scared and stop buying then things get worse faster and stay worse longer... My Tom has a secure job, we can afford our home. Though I don't have as much extra as before the inflation of the past year, I continue to buy little extras when I can.

5:29 pm

Ren, where is your sister when we need her. I haven't seen her in ages, Ren

I just had a kitty sniff my face but lordee forgive you if you pet her/

5:29 pm

hey REN!!!! {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}

5:29 pm

* gets knife out*

I love extras.

5:29 pm

what comes after code red ?

5:29 pm

OH bless her. Scrabbler how is the other lad that you know?

7:49 pm

8-), dorens

7:49 pm

OOOH! She just may get to taste that tandoori chicken a second time. ;)

7:49 pm

Dorens - she said she was never going to drink again two days ago after a pre-birthday celebration!

7:50 pm

WOW, feather...

7:50 pm

thankfully it's a baby airport, so this doesn't really happen tooooo much, relatively speaking.

7:50 pm

some lessons are harder to learn???

7:50 pm

Krista - Exactly! That's why I've left her b/f in charge of her.

7:50 pm

thanks jbv, got it now

7:50 pm

Feather, when I lived near the airport here, I was in my backyard one day and looked up to see the Stealth Bomber overhead!! They were having an airshow, I learned later.

7:50 pm

I am SOOO glad I love the taste, but never wanted to be a drunk, like so many in the family, so I drank what I could and no more... although, I do have a high tolerance, LOLOL

7:50 pm

Good thinking, Jac. I'd do the same!

7:51 pm

awesome krista! i love when we have our yearly airshow. we get to see the jets practicing for days beforehand.

7:51 pm

lol pam.... I'm not so think as you drunk I am !!

7:51 pm

i swear though, one day one of them is going to drop a critical part on our roof

7:51 pm

scary how easy that was to read, aussie...

7:52 pm

I liked it during the day, but someone used to practice flying his airborne lawnmower at night and keep me awake.

7:52 pm

Yep, that does run through your mind, Feather...

7:52 pm

airborne lawnmower????

7:52 pm

I know, its our brains way of righting what is wrong when it is written down...

7:52 pm

7:53 pm

Pam - sorry about your he4ache. You must be in sympathy with my Other Half as he's had one since a young girl crashed into the back of his car on the motorway yesterday afternoon. No, not an injury - he gets migraines.

7:54 pm

oh for heaven's sake.... JBV, have you got a nice big fish to slap me with ?

8:02 pm

Feather - the almost constant plane thing sounds like being at my Other Half's parents' place, ne4 flight path to airport.

8:02 pm

8:02 pm

8:06 pm

I remember when President Bush came over to visit UK they must have changed the flight path to the airport and we had about one plane every 7 or 8 mins going over our house. Nightmare! Another nightmare, in rate-paying terms, was that, because it had been a dry summer and all the grass verges leading into the city were brown, the stupid City Council spend thousands having the verges spray-painted green!

8:06 pm

i just glanced out the sliding glass window, and there were monster plane headlights heading toward me!

8:06 pm

bottom right N anyone?

8:06 pm

8:41 pm

dh5/14 - Hindu loincloth. dh5/18 = same spelling except change the penultimate consonant.

8:41 pm

NM, i got it :)

8:41 pm

no, the di 7 goes the other way, across the top of the grid, mkg

8:42 pm

jac, i actually have never run across the word in hindu for a loincloth. imagine how strange that is.

8:42 pm

Has he now, Jess? Have fun then!:D

8:42 pm

jac, you amaze me.

LOL jac!!

8:42 pm

ty got the di word from that clue. super jes

8:42 pm

8:43 pm

Why do I amaze you, mkg?

8:43 pm

hindu loincloths, that's why

8:43 pm

jac you amaze me with your weath of knowledge. you are certainly well read and very smart. that is all. i recall that from first day on the grid.

8:44 pm

I get a lot of the Indian words due to them being in English English (if you know what I mean) from Raj times and passed down.

8:44 pm

and anyone who can give me any further clues as to the hindu loincloth word i would be appreciative of the education.

8:44 pm

Thanks mkg. I'm erudite. LOL

8:44 pm

the up-side of colonial imperialism

8:44 pm

that is what i mean jac, you are educated and well read.

8:44 pm

tr 6 & & after the medical screening ???

8:45 pm

mkg - d + 'not cold' + personal pronoun.

8:45 pm

it sounds like the mexican spanish housing but without the a on front

8:45 pm

the dh5 with more points sounds like a southwest native american house/what it is made of, minus the a

8:45 pm

8:47 pm

ty

8:47 pm

no, EIGHTEEN!

8:47 pm

mkg - d + what you cook on (h**) + personal pronoun.

8:59 pm

we age hurshy - that is the alternative - age or die

8:59 pm

8:59 pm

Dunno, Hursh. Maybe someone's discovered the secret of everlasting life... though, with a name like mine, I'm undead. LOL

9:00 pm

and getting old isn't so bad when you consider the alternative : )

9:00 pm

no, we either age or not, but we die either way

9:00 pm

mkg - change the last letter of the word you just though of to a snake letter.

9:00 pm

eg = excited to do something - an a

9:01 pm

that's why i'm not a doctor... seemed so futile...

9:01 pm

Oh hursh!

9:02 pm

i'm kidding! it's really because med school and residency would be too much work.

9:02 pm

it was a snake! it was eges! last letter is a snake.

9:02 pm

change to hook mkg

9:02 pm

That's all I can say 'cos I'm really lost for words, which doesn't happen often. You ne4 a hug, Hursh!

9:08 pm

9:08 pm

it's right mkg - sorry

9:08 pm

FYI, kje, I am one of the many migraineurs here. I get sinus/barometric and due to PCOS, hormonal. So, not too often, but often enough, and sometimes very often, I will be here mentioning a headache... oh well, could be worse

9:09 pm

fe6/30 is a type of hat.

9:09 pm

oh, not directed at you jac, i typed that before.

9:09 pm

let me know if you like it. my husband is fond of pecan pie, maybe he would like it.

9:09 pm

thanks, jac!

9:09 pm

evening everyone

9:09 pm

9:10 pm

9:10 pm

Opposite of began, mkg.

9:10 pm

Aw, shame, Hursh.

9:11 pm

hmmm, don't think I'm going to finish this one...

9:11 pm

you have to ignore my tendency to talk to myself out loud in chat, not out loud, out... out...black

9:11 pm

9:11 pm

communal groan

9:11 pm

how's things, nat?

9:12 pm

9:12 pm

9:12 pm

hi all

9:12 pm

fl6 is another word for flay

9:12 pm

not really, just trying to remain emotionally steady.

9:12 pm

Re the pie, I will Hursh. I had an idea, thinking of son coming home from Holland with his g/f today about doing and Advocaat cheesecake.

9:13 pm

fl6---think of eye covering

9:13 pm

lawyer cheesecake?

Hurshey Carlee says hi and we miss you

Hi everyone too. Im not really here

9:13 pm

LOL hursh

9:13 pm

oh, well tell carlee i say hi back

9:13 pm

eye covering?

9:13 pm

Hi, herin@

9:14 pm

how was the bath sans bubbles

9:14 pm

Advocaat - egg nog with rum or some such, Hursh, not advocate! LOL

9:14 pm

wish there were something I could do, nat!

9:14 pm

ar clue?

9:14 pm

Brandy in advocaat, not rum.

9:14 pm

speaking of lawyers, what's the difference between a dead lawyer in the road and a dead skunk in the road?

9:14 pm

ar + robot ending

9:15 pm

thanks pam, I'm feeling so isolated that it really helps just to have you ask how I'm doing!

9:15 pm

*passes Nat a cup of tea*

9:15 pm

ruru - a + robot ending.

9:15 pm

The ar 5/12 word is ar plus aste**** rururocks.

9:15 pm

have you heard from any of your WI pals?

9:15 pm

you swerve to avoid the skunk?

9:15 pm

I dunno, Hursh. What is the difference?

9:15 pm

there are skidmarks in front of the skunk.

9:15 pm

kje - I reckon that might be it!

9:15 pm

lol, kje

9:16 pm

LOL.

9:16 pm

still cant get the fl word. dont know another word for flay and eye covering is a patch. so i am stumped.

9:16 pm

too true

9:16 pm

kje was close... but you see, they are already dead, so...

9:16 pm

thanks

9:16 pm

oh got it..................f + eye covering.

9:16 pm

not recently, but they are so busy it doesn't feel like an inordinately long time

9:16 pm

a NATURAL eye covering

9:16 pm

the part of the eye that refracts and focuses light onto the retina, mkg

9:16 pm

fl word = f + glasses glass + second vowel

9:17 pm

le6 please?

9:17 pm

ah, thanks kje!

9:17 pm

did anyone see that lady one time on dr. phil who was a lawyer and her self esteem was like, seriously damaged because of lawyer jokes.

9:17 pm

f + short form of the same Leonard (in UK) + snake consonant + 2nd vowel.

9:17 pm

that

9:17 pm

well, i would still want to hear if I were you.

9:17 pm

you're kidding aren't you hursh?

9:17 pm

le6 = how long something is.

9:17 pm

pam said a woooooooord

9:17 pm

i am not kidding about the lady on dr. phil.

9:17 pm

d'oh

9:17 pm

I do, but I understand. My friends have been great, so I can't really complain.

9:18 pm

hursh - she was looking for $$$$ methinks.

9:18 pm

PB for pam - I think Jacula was in there

9:18 pm

feesh! thanks jac

9:18 pm

i am in the pb--and since chocolate is not my thing, I am eating kettle corn

9:18 pm

that is ridiculous!

9:18 pm

no, i think she was probably an HSP.

9:18 pm

bi 5/18?

9:18 pm

mmm, kettle corn. maybe I should say a word so I get thrown in the penalty box

9:19 pm

kettle corn with root beer?

hi all! think I will go straight to list and see if I can get it done before flip

9:19 pm

you are being very nice, and understanding of them, nat

9:19 pm

hi, autumn

9:19 pm

make it a good one natasha

9:19 pm

ruru - old word for 'asked to do'.

9:19 pm

good luck moon

9:19 pm

any clues for ge 5 14 the second one? and the last ge 5 16?

9:20 pm

thanks

9:20 pm

Hi everyone! How are we all?

9:20 pm

like previous with next consanant

9:20 pm

lawyering, like sales, is a position that highly sensitive people don't usually go into, but the ones who do are clearly not typical of their profession and perhaps choose it for different reasons, and certainly practice it in different ways. it is likely that most lawyers are thick-skinned, but if an HSP were a lawyer, i could see how that could happen.

9:20 pm

bi + double consonant (which with only one of it and the next two letters makes up an animal's home, like a lion, for instance).

9:20 pm

last ge 5 = ge + cheer

9:21 pm

ty got the ge kje.

9:21 pm

what's an HSP, hursh?

9:21 pm

ty got last ge.

9:21 pm

a highly sensitive person

9:22 pm

oh no...........missing gh 6! i thought i had it.

9:22 pm

gh + period of time + vowel

9:23 pm

like day or like minute or hour?

9:23 pm

ah. thanks

9:23 pm

I think you get two kinds of people that go into law - the sensitive ones who want to help people and make a difference and the ones who just want to punish anyone who doesn't meet their own yardstick for 'what's right'. The story's more complicated than that in the end but all must end up jaded.

9:24 pm

no, like the end of an ***

9:24 pm

like the jazz ***

9:24 pm

oops, brb

9:24 pm

ty got it.

9:24 pm

bo 5/18 >

9:25 pm

i hate GH's and DH's

9:25 pm

past tense of previous bo 4

9:25 pm

me too hurshy!

9:26 pm

he 6 27 the second one plZ?

9:27 pm

no one got my clue last time I gave that but... he + skinny fish + vowel

9:27 pm

that clue worked for me - thanks kje

9:27 pm

I got it! Thanks kje!

9:27 pm

skinny fish - reverse of what you dust with

9:28 pm

ohhh i was thinking sardine

9:28 pm

he6 is a seed. he + reverse of a bit of old cloth + personal pronoun.

9:28 pm

sardine? OK

9:28 pm

see jacula's is better : )

9:28 pm

Now, anchovie would have been silly...

9:29 pm

and smelly

9:29 pm

Yet strangely addictive...

9:29 pm

Anchovies? YUK!

9:29 pm

white anchovies with lemon - yum!

9:30 pm

They grow on you, Jac! My husband will eat a jar of the ones in oil with chilli if I can find them..

9:30 pm

i think this could divide us more than politics

9:30 pm

Grin, hursh, another topic to be banned!

9:30 pm

LOL hurshy

9:31 pm

You may be right, Hursh. Olives and anchovies, I cannot stand.

9:31 pm

doorag doesn't count either???

9:31 pm

I think my dog might eat them while we're all out. Just going by his breath....

9:31 pm

and what is your marmite stance, jac?

9:31 pm

not like olives!!! so sad

9:31 pm

Hursh - I love it! Other Half hates it!

9:31 pm

doorag LOL

9:32 pm

Does the no olives rule out martinis, Jac? Double tragedy if so...

9:32 pm

some people have martinis with onions, don't they?

9:32 pm

Martini is fine if it's dry, Jandy. Hold the olive though!

9:32 pm

last de 6/24?

9:33 pm

Shaken, not stirred, and NO olive.

9:33 pm

I heard on the ABC radio the other night, that when Marmite was launched in Australia (after Vegemite) that Vegemite briefly changed their name to Pawill...

9:33 pm

Oh good, Jac.... phew...

9:34 pm

rur - de6/24 is a bit like what stops your underarms being pongey.

9:34 pm

de - like what you put under your arms, but minus the last 3 letters

9:34 pm

pongey? UK word?

9:34 pm

hi everyone

9:34 pm

hi ardilla

9:34 pm

Hi ardilla! How you hopping?

9:35 pm

But not quite... same first 4 letters then countrified way (in UK) of saying 'Yes'.

9:35 pm

pongey = smelly.

9:35 pm

hi everyone

9:36 pm

yea, new word for the day - pongey - sounds just like it should

9:36 pm

Hi ardilla. How's the ankle?

9:36 pm

onomatapaeic, kje.... if I spelled it right! will have to check now...

9:37 pm

oh DEAR

9:37 pm

yes, but don't ask me to spell check that - doesn't quite look right though

9:37 pm

What's up, Hursh?

9:38 pm

onomatopoeia

9:38 pm

such a braniac!

9:38 pm

Nah... I wasn't.... onomatopoeic....

9:38 pm

the last 2 hours of chat are scrolling on my screen

9:38 pm

what's up is that - well i don't know the details - but apparently walmart is suing a crippled former employee who is in a nursing home for health benefits that they've paid for her...

9:39 pm

Ow....

9:39 pm

does this company actively seek out ways to get bad PR?

9:39 pm

i got to outside today for an appointment

9:39 pm

Must be like some time warp, ardilla!

9:40 pm

it felt great until i tried to crutch there in 10 minutes

9:40 pm

Well they're not a 'caring' company, Hursh.

9:40 pm

very dumb of me...now exhausted

9:40 pm

Ardilla - you ne4 to slow down for a week or 3 or 4.

9:40 pm

Not so easy, ardilla... most women find crutches very challenging...

9:40 pm

yes, it was like a time warp

9:41 pm

ok but, i mean, what's next? public execution of kittens and puppies?

9:41 pm

I kept getting my boobs caught in mine... which says something not good about my boobs, I suspect!

9:41 pm

i kept looking at my watch, laptop time, and the chat times...very weird

9:41 pm

in the crutches!?! how did you manage that?

9:41 pm

Are the crutches too high/long, ardilla? They often are for women. You can either put them down a notch or two if metal ones or ask for shorter ones, if wooden.

9:42 pm

i will be taking taxis for a while

9:42 pm

might take a nap shortly

9:42 pm

LOL, Jandy. And... OW!

9:42 pm

The time warp thing once happened to me with the chat... it didn't scroll, it was just several hours behind reality and it did my head in...

9:43 pm

Hursh - probably, if Walmart thinks it's 'justified'.

9:43 pm

no the crutches are the right height...i just overextended myself being overconfident

9:43 pm

dishes calling - be back for the flip

9:43 pm

first bo 5/16 ? please

9:43 pm

Ow was right Jac... I don't have a lot of upper body strength anyway, so I was making a dog's breakfast of it before that little complication!

9:44 pm

kje's finally lost the plot... crockery is talking to her.;-)

9:44 pm

And she's listening....

9:44 pm

physical therapy made me practice with them before i left the hospital to make sure that they were the right height and that i could use them correctly

9:44 pm

it bugs me because i kind of need to buy cheap stuff there, but there is going to come a point when the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune will subdue me

9:44 pm

Yea, Jandy. Gawd!

9:45 pm

if you don't hear from me for a while, i probably passed out :)

9:45 pm

ruru - bo + first 3 letters of what's atop your neck.

9:45 pm

It's just harder than it looks, ardilla. All well and good for twenty year old sportsmen....

9:45 pm

Take it easy, ardilla!

9:46 pm

*is ashamed of her selfishness*

9:46 pm

Sweetie! Don't do that! Hope you're lying down with your feet well raised and are rattling with medications.

9:46 pm

Walmart is evil, Hursh. So are most big conglomorates. Are there any small shops or farm shops where you are?

9:46 pm

It's really hard though, hurshy, to find a balance between practicality and morality, I think...

9:46 pm

i still haven't figured out how to get these hospital bracelets off my arm

9:47 pm

*putting feet up and lying down to chat more comfortably*

9:47 pm

i found that the cvs sales and target sales were better priced, hursh. And, did you know wal mart forces vendors to use different, somewhat smaller sized containers and then charges comparable to the regular, larger sized?

9:47 pm

Ardilla - FIND A PAIR OF SCISSORS AND GO 'SNIP!'

9:47 pm

Good girl!

9:47 pm

I really hate hte whole wal mart mentality, but was glad they were able to get water to LA and MS after Katrina

9:48 pm

i dunno pam, i just... like, i got a pretty sundress there for $2.50...

9:48 pm

We don't have walmart here but read some interesting stuff in the press about the amount of control they have in the retail market. It's amazing..

9:48 pm

I am not perfect, but for me, wal mart crosses a line....

9:49 pm

Hursh - but your pretty 2.50 sundress was probably made in a sweatshop for less than a penny a week wages by a child of 5.

walmart is good for wool

9:49 pm

:(

9:49 pm

i know i'm gonna get a fussy talk from big bro when he finds out what i did today :(

9:49 pm

I'm not going to preach though. I see too many others doing that on the net and it's not attractive.

9:50 pm

he worries about me a lot

9:50 pm

first en please

9:50 pm

Nice to have someone looking out for you though, ard.... better than noone caring about you!

9:51 pm

ruru - opposite of 'began' or 'started'.

9:51 pm

*wondering how/why is my turtle under my pillow*

9:51 pm

very true jandy

9:51 pm

hello, 147 to go

9:51 pm

Hi, harp.

9:52 pm

hi harp

9:52 pm

wow

9:52 pm

I just got the most amazing bargain at Target (pronounced Tarjay) at the end of the summer season... You have to love something reduced from $59.99 to $2.86... made my day! You would have liked it hurshy...

9:52 pm

had that one..put it in the wrong place thank you

9:52 pm

You must be desperate, Harp. You came bursting out from behind those potted palms!

9:52 pm

Good question, ard... lucky you gave her a bath!

9:53 pm

the lady that walmart sued, walmart won, and less than a week after that, her son was killed in iraq. and she's brain damaged, so she doesn't really know about any of it, which may be the best news in her story. this may be the saddest thing i have ever heard.

9:53 pm

that's quite a deal!

9:53 pm

Hi harp!

9:53 pm

I love rummaging through the chaos and finding really good buys... it's the thrill of the chase....

9:53 pm

why on earth did walmart sue her?

9:54 pm

2 more reasons to avoid Walmart!

9:54 pm

not desparate yet, but i just started for what is supposed to be the home stretch....

9:54 pm

there was a clause in her contract (and apparently many companies have this clause) that if you win damages to pay for health treatment, your employer can then sue you to get back the money THEY paid for your treatment.

Ardila: http://tinyurl.com/yuh6p4 or http://tinyurl.com/2fmpbe instead of your real turtle

9:54 pm

Well, your entrance was somewhat verbose for you, Jane. LOL

9:55 pm

good evening. anyone have a clue for the FL 6?

9:55 pm

so, she sued someone else and won damages?

9:55 pm

I have 87 to go and if I have any chance at all of finishing I will need to put my head down and the other end up... not sure how much I care today... though I am on a finishing streak...

9:56 pm

fl6 = f + what the eye sees through.

9:56 pm

she won damages from the semi-truck that hit her. someone must have got the damages on her behalf, since she's brain damaged.

9:56 pm

thnx Jac.

9:56 pm

y/w, phan.

9:56 pm

last ga please?

9:57 pm

maybe her son, who then died in iraq, fought to get the money for her...

9:57 pm

ruru - last ga is like a crocodile but short form.

9:57 pm

Aside from the Walmart component, this story is terribly sad by itself!

9:58 pm

ok, so more or less, that's double jeopardy, and if the trucker's insurance company paid her, then her regular insurance company should be reimbursed, right?

9:58 pm

Begins 'alli'...

9:58 pm

duh...duh.....duh...... thanks jac

9:58 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the ge 6/24 word please

9:58 pm

y/w, ruru. No fish tonight, unless you're hungry.

9:58 pm

very cute, herin ty

9:58 pm

well, except that, i mean, she still needs 24 hour care, so, and walmart sued her for MORE than she won...

9:59 pm

Never mind! I just got the ge 6/24 word. Thank you!

Hurshy. THey do that here with compensation and the Government payments

9:59 pm

Min - army officer minus his final 'l'.

9:59 pm

ne7?

Thought youd like that Ardilla

9:59 pm

Feel free, though, cause I still don't have it!

9:59 pm

Her lawyer took like 60%.

10:00 pm

Then, walmart wants the money they paid out.

10:00 pm

ne7 is the one who denies or makes things worth nothing.

10:00 pm

no, not 60%, she won 700,000 and there was 417,000 left after lawyer, and walmart sued her for 470,000.

10:00 pm

ne + the not a croc again!

10:00 pm

Would seem fair if she had more than that, but since what wlamart wants would wipe her out..

10:00 pm

makes me want to make friends with a lawyer!

10:00 pm

thanks jac

10:00 pm

Oh, hursh. earlier, on cnn, the number was higher than that, I thought...

10:01 pm

Makes me want to shoot a Walmart lawyer!

10:01 pm

ok last ge please..can't find it

10:01 pm

y/w, Harp.

10:01 pm

but who's the idiotic and/or unethical lawyer that didn't tell them not to bother because of the clause, that it would be a waste of time... HE is now 283,000 richer??

10:01 pm

how about the GA 6/24?

My g.f got $25 000 for a very brutal attack and was told from the government that the compensation would have to be spent before she could get any financal help. And that sounds disgusting about Walmart

10:02 pm

I know, I think walmart bites. money won in a suit like this should be for future living costs... she had medical insurance and that's what should cover medical bills...

10:02 pm

phan - add emergency dept Clooney worked in to the type of walk (ga4/6) before it.

10:02 pm

a horse is the ga 6

10:03 pm

what a horse does phan

10:03 pm

ugh! Thnx for the clue

10:03 pm

It's a covering for a leg but it was easier to clue it that way below.

10:03 pm

last ge clue please

10:03 pm

i'm not sure HER lawyer isn't more despicable, when you think about it.

10:04 pm

bo5,16 the first, please?

10:04 pm

ruru - ge5/16 = ge + Egyptian Sun God +, depending on how you spell it, a consonant.

Ok ill be back after flip. Hurshy please visit more often

10:05 pm

1st bo5/16 = bo + first 3 letters of what your neck supports.

10:05 pm

thank you

10:05 pm

'Night, Herin.

10:06 pm

ghade

10:06 pm

bye, herin

10:06 pm

Well, given that I am clearly not going to finish this one, I will go and do something productive! Bye all... thanks for the chat

10:06 pm

bye herin

10:06 pm

Ardilla, take care of yourself... and your turtly friend!

10:06 pm

Bye herin!

laters

10:08 pm

bye jandy & thx

10:08 pm

CNN i sstill saying she won about 1 million, which would make legal fees excessive, and well over the traditional 30% contingency....

10:08 pm

thanks jac

10:09 pm

hmm, who to believe, CNN or MSNBC...

10:09 pm

hello all!!!! {{{{hurshy}}}} how are you?

10:09 pm

hi mama

10:09 pm

I know, and WSJ says 700, and that after legal fees and other expenses she was left with 417, so I believe WSJ and MSNBC!

10:09 pm

hi, stid

10:10 pm

10:10 pm

I am tired, hurshy, but otherwise well! :-)

10:10 pm

10:10 pm

TR 7 the last please?

10:11 pm

Well, here in the office/study, I'm sitting right below my drunken, newly turned 21 daughter's room and I've heard no more crashes or bangs or any other worrying sounds. Yes, I know I said I'd left her sober b/f in charge but I'm a mother, so I lied! I guess I'll see her sometime later this afternoon.

10:11 pm

Or maybe this evening.

10:11 pm

hello jacula!

10:12 pm

oh golly jacula! that does not sound like fun

10:12 pm

10:12 pm

Hi stid. Got your e-mail. Once a day on both our time scales is fine for me. Talk more when the holiday's over.

10:13 pm

Easter holiday, stid.

10:14 pm

10:14 pm

10:15 pm

10:15 pm

easter lasts longer in europe... and really, easter season lasts a looooooooooooong time

10:16 pm

SO glad I didn't ask for the fishy th 6/27!

10:16 pm

stid - that's no punishment if it's nicely cooked. Slap in the face with a raw or frozen one not so nice, though. LOL

10:16 pm

10:16 pm

oh, there has to be, pentecost is yet to come

10:16 pm

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

Yes, hursh.

10:18 pm

thank you, o British one

10:18 pm

10:18 pm

he6 = he +5th consonant + Mr Onassiss.

10:18 pm

LOL, Hursh.

10:20 pm

Almost an African country that se6, stid. Otherwise, try se4.4 + a girl described in 3 letters.

10:20 pm

Minus her last lette (l).

10:20 pm

*letter

10:21 pm

thanks Jacula *thinking*

10:21 pm

10:22 pm

Thank goodness I don't have to be up at any particular time later, household upstairs is very noisy right now. Drunken daughter quiet now but son down here looking for bed covers for his temporary bed, since his g/f has his clean bed.

10:27 pm

10:27 pm

Bed covers for that are in cupboards above mu bed and I'm not going to wake Other Half up tramping about on our bed getting son's bedding out. Other Half was already awoken by drunken daughter falling over in her room earlier, when he thought ceiling was falling down, He's had a bad day! He mended the broken boot (trunk) lock on his car, cleaned all the interior, took it down to the local garage for an MOT, walked home, got call to say it had passed MOT, walked back to get it and then went onto motorway to pick up his daughter to take her to stay at his sisters' with her cousins... got shunted in back by young girl on her way back to Uni. Her car a write off, his doesn't look so bad, but tests will tell. Both people uninjured, so far as we can tell so far, which is the most important thing.

10:27 pm

Hi bee6000! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

05 = o + what you do with a book

10:46 pm

a re8 is someone who was formerly an insider, but they turn re8 - against their former companions

10:46 pm

no those re words do not have a root.

10:46 pm

It had gone off, but then my body decided I could have just a quick view of 'a monthly' and then took me back to the broken thermostat. Anyone know a good heating engineer??

10:46 pm

10:48 pm

I absolutely cannot find the first or second RE 5 words, nor the RE 6! *sob*

10:49 pm

I'm stopping at 177 words and 1997 points. Bye to al!

It's not fun, is it, jac?

10:52 pm

10:52 pm

*totally confused with the clue - take back the bid - being the re6

10:52 pm

Not at all, tyger.

10:53 pm

thank you so much, finally figured them out

i only just now found the re8, despite several previous and very mighty clues, so thanks tyger for yours, very much on my level 8-)

10:53 pm

moon - see my clue at 10:50

10:53 pm

10:54 pm

10:54 pm

the chat is sometimes very slow bee... just hit enter once and then wait.

10:54 pm

re 5/14 = re + math function

10:54 pm

Clue for re9/78?

Hi Gwen, thanks. So yes, it seems I hit Enter just once, then wait?

10:54 pm

te 5/10: te + first three letters of liquid precipitation (as opposed to snow or hail)

10:56 pm

Still much crashing of doors going on above. I do hope my beloved took my advice to put his earl plugs in after he came down and then went up again after drunken daughter came home after celebrating her 21st birthday. She's quiet now, but newly arrived home from the Netherlands with his g/f son is still up and about and so is his g/f.

10:56 pm

yw, bee

10:56 pm

ear plugs, not earl plugs. LOL

10:57 pm

is the te8 related to the te5?

10:57 pm

oo + laundry detergent minus last vowel

10:57 pm

poor jac, not a quiet house tonite

10:57 pm

Are earl plugs pearl played?

10:57 pm

Clue for re9/78?

10:57 pm

good night everyone.

10:57 pm

thanks kje, I am SO tired of this stoopid grid tonight!

10:57 pm

10:57 pm

the te 8 is a stand alone word

10:57 pm

re9: add PT letter to 1st re8

10:57 pm

past tense of previous re 8

10:57 pm

stid, it's even slowed YOU down. I feel better :)

10:58 pm

Okay, off to try the puzzle now.

10:58 pm

TY. How about bo 6,27?

10:58 pm

yw

10:58 pm

TY

10:59 pm

11:00 pm

th6/27: plural of preceding th5/16 (Scottish laird)

11:00 pm

I am really, really tired. I'd love to go to bed now but I know the blow-up mattress has not yet been blown up. (That's about 7-8 mins of hairdryer on full blast sound - rather loud at 3:59am). I don't want to fall almost into peaceful sleep to be woken by that.

11:00 pm

GOT IT!!! *patting monkeys and giving them bananas*

11:00 pm

thanks to you all for your help!!!!

11:00 pm

well, tyger - still don't get your re6 clue or how it relates to the re8/9. I do have the 8/9 combo but still need the other re8

11:00 pm

se6 please?

11:00 pm

yw, stid :)

wtg stid! now only 210 words to go LOL

11:01 pm

the te8 eludes me. all i can come up with are words that aren't here, like teratoma

11:01 pm

YEAH STID!!

11:01 pm

take first re 8 and change the last vowel for 2nd re 8

11:01 pm

se 6: se 4/4 + first two letters of word for girl

11:01 pm

se6: a west African country - drop last letter

11:01 pm

DR - se 6 is almost an African country if it had an 'l' at the end.

11:01 pm

re 6 does not relate to the 8/9/8 combo

11:01 pm

did I miss fireworks for stid? yea stid!!!

11:01 pm

thanks DR

11:01 pm

moon, change the last letter on the 1st re8 to make it a Mexican re8

11:02 pm

ty All got it

11:02 pm

the re6 clue I gave was a hypothetical word - not in here because correct last vowel isn't available in the right spot

11:02 pm

jes - te8 has a robot ending.

11:02 pm

yw, DR

11:02 pm

so obvious in retrospect. thanks, jac

11:02 pm

11:23 pm

Just hooked my tv up to my pc, using wireless keyboard/mouse from different room. Long VGA cable.

11:23 pm

11:27 pm

I'm gonna hafta leave pretty soon. I hadn't intended to stay this long - and need to write a blog post

11:27 pm

the tile stats help you know when you've got all the words that start with a particular letter

11:27 pm

this grid is frustrating me

11:27 pm

11:28 pm

Well, thank you for all of your introductory help and patienece, Tyger. I greatly appreciate your kindness.

11:28 pm

tr 6/18 please

11:28 pm

the tile stats tell lyou how many words start with those letters and first number is how many you have

11:28 pm

and sometimes there's a letter that isn't used to start ANY words, and that says 0/0

11:28 pm

le 9 is an extension of the le 6

11:28 pm

And thanks to everyone else too! I am at 46 words!

11:29 pm
