it's a small and nasty grid?
He can recognize all the letters...

he's a very smart little boy
14 to go, bbl
poof
like I said ML on a grid like this.....there are no clue police that I know of lol
just need the di 7 now :(

cybernan, when you want a clue jes holler 8-)

ce4? that ends with the first two letters of the 7 (oh, what a wimpy clue!)
kaz where is our friend??
well it depends on the grid ....that's all I have to say....and in this case...well I rest my case
oh that di40 is a doozy...any clues?

wtg ruru~~~~!!!!
they wanted originally around 6/23 but not sure if I can get my passport ( ....:((( .....) by then

dr + double vowell love
me 5 -- add to err is human; to forgive d*v*ne
fascism feeds off of oppression. passports, no liquid on planes, strip searches, take off your shoes, photo id to vote, refusing to allow cattle outfits to test for mad cow, on and on and on
I am soooooooooo moved babble
welcome to the new world order :(
it's such a pain in the a to fly anymore
no kidding
I have 4 di's; 1 do; 2 du's... what am I missing please?
Ummmm.... no testing for mad cow??? But I ate beef while I was there last year!
I hate flying and used to love it
and the bastards who work for the federal agency at airports are as mean as they can get, because they have been given license to be mean. fascims
aha! thanks
yw
monkey, true. one rancher wanted to test his entire herd and the gubminst actually sued to stop him
what is a gubminst?
we actually had a nice woman in Miami she was friendly and tried to put everyone at ease
i almost got a ticket just picking someone up at airport. effing fascists
Wow. I mean... jeez. Another reason why US meat is illegal here, I guess.
ruru, da gubmint is da MAN
put a little power in a little wo/man's hand and see what they do
oh.de gubmint...who dey?
fastest fireworks ever! thanks guys!
used to be able to pick a person up. now you have to park, walk, get them, drag their luggage to your car, pay to get out, and drive around for 15 mins trying to find the exit. bastards
the people are getting fed up (pardon the pun )
When we flew out last year I got bumped with a two-year-old for an overbooked flight. When we got to the US and had to switch planes and that one was overbooked too, I said, "Oh, no! We were bumped in the Netherlands!" The woman at the counter yelled, "You will NOT SCREAM AT ME!!!"
wtg lovejoy!
mo
congrats, lovejoy
oh my 1 left
Yay lovejoy!
don't even know which one.....lol
monkey, exactly what i mean. our gubmint is da biggest terrorists on da planet
are the MI 5 and 6 related?
ah yes my favourite (puke NOT) letter
takes a whole new take on the "Friendly Skies" ..mmmm
aw thanks, only my second time completing the puzzle so its quite accomplishment for me
give people power and they will abuse it. case in point, the Current Resident, or as some like to call him, the Torturer in Chief
one is in country and the other is international ML
similar to our CIA
wtg you, lovejoy
mi5 rhymes with microfilm
Way to go Lovejoy!

Germany Monkey.

trudeau

A board lasts for 24 hours?
Oh, duh! Sorry. We're neighbors, I should have recognized it!
ok then I vote for Hillary
Yes, westwing.
Monkey,, where are you?
ta all!!!
way too long
Haarlem, the Netherlands.
night dee
cya, Dee
she has a womans brain.....says a lot
it does west and sometimes it takes every minute to finish
she's from Venus......not Mars
Not for some grids, westwing. Plus people come in at different times.
not when there are 380 words to find or more
SI 4/5 the first please
4 letters or more?
Ah haMonkey! Your flag is not much different than ours, or?
this is a lazy wo/man's grid
yes and that was one of my favorites too
i am leaning towards Hillary also just1
and a simple clue for the DI 7 so i can finish this grid
lol Mar
this is an easy one. most are much tougher
Like chop into even flat pieces without the l
some wacko words here tho ru...
Out flag is France's but upside down. I was just embarrassed not recognizing the neighbors' flag.
di7 is biology term
already voted in Ohio, but if she wins over O, i am considering her in the Nov. election
will clue for loonies...(colloquial term for our 2$ coin) lolol
Oops, I hear Walter getting up. Back later, folks! Unless it's a false alarm like yesterday.
has anyone found more than 24 words on this board?
she has a lot of super delegates to grab before that
we'll save your place monkey
GOT THE DI i monkeyed it lol
several of us have finished wingnut
good for you MLF!
Oh, maybe it's Belgium that is like ours...my kids learned every flag in the world during the last football world cup...you would have thought I would have learned too.
how do you know how many words are on the board?
SI 4/5 the first please so i can finish hubby is waiting????
I loved "The West Wing" btw...
what was that wonderful clue that had George Harrison and Jagger in it?
s+ frozen H20
Ditto Mar
s + hard water
It was almost tragic for us when it was over
wwst did you just start on this site recently?
Yes
Martin Sheen for president
lol
seems almost impossible for her to get the nomination, but her and Bill are the democratic party with Terry McCallif, (not spelled right) so anything can happen
yes I hear ya wingnut, esp with all the garbage on tv...a real gem!
hi everyone
Martin Sheen is very presidential
hi flosey bridge night?
hi flosey
45 words !! many finished yet?
Charlie SHeen for Minister of Censorship
well as this bystander contends...Obama is a president in waiting, not quite ready yet
TY Justmar
many did but didn't like it
FIREWORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POOF I AM OUT OF HERE GOOD NIGHT
hi flosey, yes many are finished even MLF !!! wtg!
wtg mlf
I'll dive right in
Many presidential candidates had less exp than Obama. If his stance on Hill's proposed gas tax abatement is any clue - he's ready
charlie can have any job he wants lol
yay mlf
Just looked up definition of the si4/5.....who knew???
she just said that about the gas tax to get votes,
I know it sounds good but if you think it through a gas tax abatement will be counter productive with these numbnut speculators
you made me look it up mar lol
Pandering is pretty much standard politics. You have to give Obama credit for not pandering
hee hee...
me too even tho I've known that was a legal word forever!!
leave to Rush Limbaugh to pander
He's an equal opportunity panderer. LOL
well, we will know tomorrow night how much longer this will continue between O and H
it will come in handy in Vegas just
good one ruru
listen.....I hope it works out believe you me.....but methinks that if Obama wins Democratic race, then it's another 4 years of Reps at the helm with a war lover :(
So, how many words ARE in this board??
SHould have known he was a druggie with a first name like Rush
45
I don't know, I've given that a great deal of thought. I think he's building credibility. McCain has lost so much of the Rep base.
if I gamble westie husband will be staying in a Nevada prison for murder...
Thanks, West
oh no
OK, one more word then Marcus goes to kindergarten!
and ... west.. you only have 22 hours left to find them...lol
lol jk
but I will go see "Love" by Cirque du Soleil no matter how much tickets are!
and I will probably have to use every minute ruru
i pretty much agree with that just1, Obama may be the best canidate but the question is, who can beat McCain
I think Hillary has a much better chance against him than Obama but that's just a Canuk cousin speaking with no voice
i cant spell, its late, must go to bed, happy babbling all and see you at next grid
the whole world has a voice in this election I believe
well yeah westie I have a voice but not a vote, which is what counts
My biggest concern is that the Dems don't have the same level Karl Rove dirty tricks machine that the Repub's have.
WIth all the hub-bub about McCain and that loobyist he was accused of having sex with, he lost mometum here in California... I heard that McCain wanted a retraction and Obama wanted an invenstigation and that Bill CLinton wanted her phone number
LOL
good one ruru lol
but you gotta know that whomever wins will affect us as much as it affects you ( but with not vote :(
thats the best i have heard all night ruru,
now i am really leaving
poof
well for a philanderer, he sure commands and recieves high remuneration for a 1 hour speech
Thank you thank you thankyou
I would be very happy if he were president again and we were paying off the national debt like before
Atilla was king of the huns....Ruru is Queen of the puns
Queen?
King?
*** re-adjusts pumps***
always thought you were from Venus ruru...
lolol see!!??!!!
Venus with a penis?
good thing it was the arm that broke off
acckkk sorry ru....I've read your bio many times but musta missed that 'male' description...
ROFL
<----------blushes to a brilliant red
very very funny west
westie has a wicked sense of humour! always has!
<-------gives westie a peck on the cheek in appreciation!
aww
I guess if it were somethng else the Vatican would have had a cow right>? west?
you used to make me laugh so hard with tears rolling down my cheeks at TW westie! :D
I'm sure
I'm thinking the Vatican already had several...
Well.. er.. time for the Queen of Puns to move her buns to bed...lol
lolol will never think of you the same ruru (wink)
and I think Atilla here will do the same!

id 5/14 means a colloquial expression in a language
id+ charged particle with a different last const.
It is a very decent Finnish woman
ty mar
Thanks, Just1Mar, totally easy and completely missed it! Anyone have either of the "me" words???
me 5/16 is a kind of nurse
a nurse at war
and me 5/14 is the same just change last consonant to double vowel
the other is the same beginning with a double vowell
usually a King nurse at war ruru
snap
Okay, many thanks. Done!!!
wtg girl (Queen)
and like duh.....have I not seen the little blueman icon since forever....geez

I haven't heard from her in awhile
she'll get it....anyone who likes words will!
she'd love it here
good for you jilli, I couldn't find anything about Kirlian Photography - and was too rushed to really dig
now she is a very, very funny and bright person
that she is
hmmmm sounds like a backhanded insult ruru....westie is funny and I've been known to tell a joke or 2
flosey, I saw your icon before and thought you might pick it, lol!
she has a lot on her plate right now
lol, just had to jilli
sorry to hear west
I think there are a lot of funny people here, moon is just one of the very funniest along with Mr. P

night mar -- soo you tomorrow fliptime?
that was see you, sigh
cripes 7 left...this insanity..what WILL i do today..when i actually get up for day?
ok, sorted Buster out!
oh how nice (being really sarcastic here) the boys have had an email from their father with some photos in it
nite mar sweet dreams
is your garden fenced or do you put him on a lead?
who is Buster?
its fenced, but he hasn't learnt how to unlock the sun room yet!
a huge dog
ok..i am going to try sleep again and find my last 6 at a reasonable hour
Still stuck with those mi's...
Still stuck with those mi's...
a very handsome dog
seem to have frozen?
not as huge as my former Great Danes, I bet
Still stuck with those mi's...
night carlee
no not Great D height,....yet, he's only 8 months old
does that every morning at 3 a.m. jem
Sorry about that triple message, my keyboard went crazy...
what breed, jem?
big deep freeze then - i had to reboot even with the hiccup
I have learned to hit return once and hope for the best ajv
Siberian Husky/Border Collie
I just rebooted too
ajv, there's a hiccup every day/night at this hour -- 2 am grid time
I won't leave my chair until I'll figure those bloody mi's...
energetic mixture, jem!
he has the markings of the collie but not the long fur
very! 5 miles a day at least
he's noble
and his ears are large and stand up
except when I tell him off
you really should put a picture of him in your profile
have to turn pro for that?
yes but it's worth it
did you get on last evening?
and tackle the list?
yes, at 7pm, but don't understand list, it gives you 1st 2 letters and number of letters, is that right?
Fireworks! And only one hour left before my sons are going for their naps...
and the point score for the word, jem
right
i got all the mi's lol
YAY ajv!!!
woohooo wtg ajv ^5
what will you do with all that spare time aj?
Knit, eat, feed the hens and maybe even check the mail.
jem, if you type the word into the box at the tip it will go to the correct spot in the list so you can tell what'l likely to be before or after it, and how many other words there are which start that way
at the top
ah, ty
oops, poverty today! Morning all :)
sounds like you have enough to do them aj
hi sprite
good evening spritey happy babbling
hi sprite thought you were telling us you were broke lol
jem yesterday there were 201 today there are 45 words
ah, that too, but that is no news, lol. This is a very small grid :(
makes more sense now jill
It's a huge help, jem!
beautiful icon, jilli
thanks, sprite -- flosey had a great one -- do you have her in your My Friends?
had to check, no, sorry. Should add her too, indeed.
too bad she's gone to bed now -- she finished in a flash
I bet, far beneath her standard, this grid :)
maybe flosey's findable in the Rankings

I'd like that clue too, kiwi
Hello. the me5.14 ends with dble vowel

bye kiwi :)
night kiwi!
oh. last night, I was chatting away, and boom!! fell asleep on the keyboard!
love your flowercat, mrp!
thanks jilli :))
lolololol! I'd say you needed sleep badly then!
woke up about 45 min later, the kids had put themselves to bed and all! how sad... I was exhausted
great kids, and none the worse for doing it themselves for once. So... how ARE you doing?
I think I'll be heading out now how are you doing jem need any help?
I need to go out and post 16 packages!! ebay is keeping me awake most of the time, and canteen, and soccer secretary stuff. Am doing ok thanks! seeing my surgeon in 3 weeks, so will have all my answers

will keep my fingers crossed for you, mrP. Bye for now!
but I have to keep going to the other window
see you all soon!
that's great, jem
sleep well west
jilli was the one to help my mac won't let me do what most can
sleep? I have to wash the dishes lol
bye MRP - don't push yourself too much
quite happy with it though, thanks all
must be the first time I hear a mac can do less than a windows puter, lol.
you are still nuts then west
as soon as I can move to Australia I'll be right as rain
lol, bye all, tc
they are sending Jon to Washington on wednesday he has a 5:30 a.m. pick up
bye jemima
bye jemima
I'm leaving I think jem is staying
macs can't use BabbleExpert which is the greatest, and I know it's not nice to gloat, lol, but those "I'm a Mac" and "I'm a PC" ads deserve a little counterpunch
still wouldn't trade it jilli we've been mac since it was only apple lol
night west
good night take care all
I think Macs are great, they just don't run all the programs I need. But I am with the Mac people. Remember: computers are like airplanes. NEVER open windows.
night west!
well, I spoke to a guru the other day and he said there's a thing you can get which will let you run a Windows app on a Mac -- hand on a minute -- I'll get the name...
sounds interesting!
It's VMWare
I suppose you can go to that .com
thanks jilli, will check it out!
looks like a virtual machine indeed... I have a friend with a Mac, will ask her about this.
so will I, lol!
I googled it and went to wikipedia
now back to the grid with 12 left :)
go jilli! Am down to 11 and still no brick wall... too easy a grid today.
Hi sprite. You think it's easy? I have only found 14 words!
Hi jillibus!
but you just started, hydra, I think?
hya hydra!
I've been at it about ten mins. How about you?
Hi Hydra
you just started too, sprite!
longer than 10 minutes for sure, hydra
and fireworks
Congrats, sprite!
the 7 was the toughest one for me. Didn't know the word.
Congrats Sprite!
YAY sprite!!! I don't know how you do it!
Hiya lynxxx!
I'm having M troubles
yeah, the Ms are creative :)
I'm jus starting on the d's
ohhhhh AngelSong, I will love you forever. The vid will enable me to learn something I never could work out!
what vid, sprite?
the babble expert vid, hydra. Today's reward for finishers on babble expert.
Oh! I don't even know what babble expert is, so that leaves me out of it!
hydra, do you have a PC or a Mac?
PC.
awwwwww! Well, I can give a link for today's, for you. Don't want to spoil the fun for others, so don't click if you want the surprise, guys. And hydra, you might want to ask lickety for the expert. It is marvellous... never having to watch if you are in chat window or enter word window.
Does it make a difference?
Then all you have to do is email Lickety and he will send you Expert. It puts everything on one page and has all sorts of other helps, plus a video when you finish -- all free!
Thanks, sprite! And thanks, Jillibus. I will do that.
a HUGE difference!
hydra: http://tinyurl.com/4pcj4x
oh yes, it makes a lot of difference. Even for me, although I do not use the clue list. But imagine: you have a lickety add box. You type in one word... and it goes to the word list. You type in anything with a space and it goes.... to the chat box. Just like that.
I'll be away then - guess I'll read my book. Bye everyone!
have fun, lyn! *hug*
Bye, lynxxx! Just watched the vid, sprite. I don't think I have folded a sheet in my life. I just shove it into the drawer, trying not to get it too scrumpled. Life is too short!
lol hydra! Well, I do, have lots of those and wash them often.
firewords
yayyyyy jilli!
Love it! Firewords!!! Well done.
I am off, loved playing and chatting with you all. Have a lovely night and/or a splendid day. Bye!
bye sprite!! And yes -- useful vid!
And you too, sprite. See you soon.
:D
And thanks all for the accolades :)
My partner Mr Grumpy took a funny photo of me delving inside a duvet to get a sock out of it. It looked like I was wearing a burqa!
Not a burger...
Actually, my washed fitted sheet goes right out of the dryer onto the bed.
I know what you mean, hydra!
Thus cutting out the folding process. Excellent!
I wonder if we're all alone here!
I think we are! Reminds me of a silly joke my gran told me years back. Man wakes up in bed and there's a ghost standing at the foot of the bed. Ghost goes, 'Whoooh! There's only me and thee.' Man shivers and shakes. Ghost repeats it, louder and more spookily, then man says, 'Wait till I get my trousers on and there'll only be thee!"
That was pathetic, I don't know why I told it.
For a laugh :D
I heard a better one yesterday, but it's a bit too rude for the grid. Dr God would censor me!
Maybe he's not looking....
Oooh! Just got fireworks. Shall I stick around till someone else comes?
YAY hydra!!!
Well, I'll try and tell it politely. Woman sees sign in pet shop window: 'Clitoris-licking frog, £150." She goes in and asks to see it. Guy behind counter licks his lips and says, "Bonjour!"
It really is too small and not too hard -- but I'm not complaining or tomorrow's will be 698 words or some such horror
Oops! Forgot to tell it politely! But your remark makes my joke even funnier!
LOLOLOL!!!
Do you think I had better go now? (Blush)
That;s hilarious too! :D
Perhaps we should join up as a comedy duo.
ROFL, you just made mw spit my coffe out!
No blush needed -- I'll laugh my way to bed! Have a great day
Hi FM!
Thanks Jilli.
hello and bye Sweet dreams jilli
I hope I can remember that joke....
... and back to work for me. Hi/bye hydra.
yawwwnnn and *poof*
I think I'll put a daily joke on my blog. Bye, Mitch.

Hi Lori!
And hi Angel too... couldn't get my chat to go a minute ago...
morning, lori
you should be done in less than 30 mins, Lori
up to today, the smallest grid was 49 words, back in February.
Ok what you do is you get 670g of Morello Cherries put them in a retangle heat proof dish, sprinkle the top with a 470g packet cake mix top with 100g of melted butter then sprinkle 60 grams of pecan nuts back in oven
bake in over for about 40 min on 180 C heat
is anyone here?
yes. down to 8. trying ot finish
cherry thing sounds yummy

G'd morning Eva, Uni

Klorida ?
How about a 0 after the 45?

Ok sorry i was looking at something
wow i have 8 left
on the klinternet?
45 words....harumph....**stomping feet and making a pouty face**
how many pointshisom
lol nb, klearly...... :-) Morning Scrabbler! It's a snooze fest
lahlah, where did you go. we are still waiting to know where kl is
Yes. Mixed bred dogs rampaged through streets so once again the breeds that made up those dogs will be in question.
I'm with Scrabs! **stomping and shouting**
Scrabbler i know its sad
http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/p uzzles this is my reserve puzzle that i do
***Hands Uni and Scrabbler candy, as a bribe to calm down***
Hi folks! Don't worry Scrabbler, I stalled out earlier at 22 and do NOT look to find any more!
I prefer dark chocolate, Lori. That will end my tantrum.
I monkey
monkey, you can do it. they are all relatively normal words.
monkey, you can do it. they are all relatively normal words.
oops, repeating myself
Bottom row is greyed out...**wiping sweat off of forehead**
Scrabbler, may I be seriously annoying and ask you one more minor child medicine Q?
I firmly believe that tommorows should be a 500
Dark chocolate won't do it for me! *throws glass of milk in air*
of course, normal and relative don't really go together
Uni, calm down, here's a peach pie.
Of course, MG, and I do not mind at all.
no, no, no herin! too much
Lol! NB, you're great
is there anny im words pleaes
Dark Chocolate it is then Scrabbler! uni always was an unruly child.......
never mind
1 im herin
good morning...45??? 45??
i got it
hey my favorite babblers - hope you are having a wonderful tuesday
thanks
yes, sigh
LOL G'd mornign As, don't blink or you'll miss it!
hi nance! how are the drugs?
Nance how did it go today?
G'd morning nance!
I am so happy that is the reaction of everyone else upon seeing the word count!
even *I* prefer something bigger! :)
***perks up at mention of drugs***
Thank you for putting up with me. OK, our weather has just gone from gloom and 10 degrees C to blazing sun and 20 degrees C pretty much overnight. Walter has been running around a lot wearing nothing but 20-factor sun cream, as there is a tiny lake in teh dunes here. So he has a speckly rash, a lot like the one that goes with 6th disease. I have several parents telling me he is seriously allergic to sunlight and should never go out without long sleeves and a hat, several saying he's just got to get used to the sun slowly, and several saying to ignore it completely as long as I keep up the sun cream. Your views, please?
at least we know I'll dive in today (or even wade)
hi AS
((nance))---doing OK?
Uni, it's the quickest grid ever..... :(
hi herin - I'm awake before my kids, so thought I'd take a quick look!
well, monkey, in farenheit, i would say keep up the sunscreen as he seems to be energetic and happy. if he shows sighns of being sick, then do something
Parents can suggest, they cannot diagnose.
Monkey i have no idea. I used to run about in nothing but a t shirt
MG, first, tell those other parents to leave you alone, LOL. He likely has a photosensitivity reaction. Many kids, especially in the spring upon first exposure to strong sunlight, will get a pink, almost hive-like, rash. We see lots of this every spring.
***Thank god for Scrabbler, the voice of reason***
Hasn't he had contact with the sun before? One would think (unless this were to be a spontaneous allergy) that sun exposure previously would have made this happen as well.
Thanks! It doesn't itch. So I should just let him have his fun but try to limit exposure at first? Like get an umbrella for over the wading pool? Not much I can do at the lake...
I think it's funny that we can get the ru4/6 twice - how ru4/6!
Last year he did get out in the sun a lot but he had just had 6th disease and I thought this rash was just that hanging on, as I have read that it can do.
Continue with sun protection, but he is not "allergic" to the sun and he may certainly play outside, unlike so many obese American kids that are sedentary but rack up major points in their videogames all day.
The year before that he was a baby so I was WAY extra careful, and since he didn't spontaneoulsy strip naked and run for the lake itr was easy.
Thanks, Scrabbler!
lol Scrab (as I sit in front of my computer before my kids are even awake)!! :)
i love that stripping naked age. so cute and joyous!
of course, my husband still does that sometimes.....
He is SUCH and active child, I would hate to try to limit that. He's an outdoorsman through and through, and after being cooped up for a Dutch winter he is rarin' to go.
Yes, Green, I delay exercise until I get fireworks, of course.
Scrabbler knows, and just saved me a lot of typing. ***can I have my Medical Degree now? :-)***
I <3 the sun. I try to get as much suntime as possible..thing is, I hate outside. I also love being pale so I use like 45 SPF sunblock. Silly skin...silly albino great grandmother..
Thanks EVERYONE.
I did walk 5+ yesterday, and I have tennis this am...
LOLOL nbjas........
We have redheads through the whole family. Walter has WHITE skin and RED hair and BLACK eyes.
1 left
albino, really
go herin go! I have 40 left - am I savoring, or just slow?
and done
Yahoo lady!!
wtg herin!!!
yay herin!
This is leaving me with the urge to run naked through the grass outside.
ok im off elsewhere. Have fun
I have red hair and brown eyes and tan OK and burn not so bad. My mother has red hair and blue eyes and turns into a 2nd degree burn victim at 5 minutes' exposure.
go Uni go!!
OH and Monkey slap the kid with 80 plus sunscreen
Lori P, MD, now you can write for your own medications.
LOL Uni, do it!!!!
go uni, go!!!
bye Herin!!
hey, asgreen, stop saying what i'm saying before me!
80+ for kids was not available yesterday.... I got him the 20 with Nemo on the bottle.
OH and slap the kid with a hat too. You can try all you like but likely not going to keep a t-shirt on him
Belated congrats herin. Scrabbler really? Thanks! You're my hero. :-)
Lori that means you can hand out chocolate by perscription
20..pah. I have burnt through twenty in less than twenty minutes! 45! 45! I even burn through that sometimes :(
lol nbj - I haven't even MADE coffee yet....oooh, gotta run and wake the kiddies - see y'all in an hour or so!
I couldn't find his hat today-- whole fall and winter without, y'know. I will Babble for a bit,. then look for it, then give up and make one.
thanks im going to go watch spider 3
Lori, you need to become a licensed ophthalmologist, forget about prescriptions!
MG, there are UV blocking clothes, and also a product you can use in the laundry that maintains a high SPF for 20 washings.
Now that we've solved that problem, next:World Hunger!
Uni, I will keep looking, but the 20 did keep him nice and pale yesterday. He's just been to the playground for playgroup (and bit through his lip!) so we'll see how this new bottle of 20 treats him when he wakes up from his nap. He was nice and white when he went to bed.
No kiddin' Uni, if only I were qualified for that........ :(
I think today I'll try being de5/16 :)
Interesting, Scrabbler. I'll look into that.
LOL As, real "machoor" of you :-)
My sister is here for the week, she drove up from New Jersey, and she can never understand me and Babble Land..."Why do you want to sit infront of the computer for hours?"
yeah right, as green. no such thing in babblers
Phantom: decapod
hello folks
Hi, colhad!
lol Scrab - I forgot she was coming (I think I would hide my addiction!!).....have fun - bbs *poof
And, MG, the key is frequent re-application of sun block, as it can get rubbed off with playing.
***waves to scrabbler's sister. We're as crazy as the last time we waved at you....***
Hi Colhad
hi monkey
Bye asgreen!
G'd morning Colhad
well, going back to bed.....see you all for a bigger grid
OK. How frequent? Like every hour, or more often?
hi scrabbler
hi LoriP
I changed my avatar, why does it still show my old one
Have a nice re-sleep nbjas. Sleep tight!
Reboot the page, colhad.
You need to refresh the page Colhad
Babble needs a few refreshes to change the icons, colhad
ahh ok, got ya, thanks
Afternoon all. It's a lovely sunny day here. Glad it's a small grid so I can get out there. Just searching for my last 9 words while I have a cuppa.
Hi there!
G'd morning Jacula
greetings Jacula
Help with the si5?
extend the 4 MG
any clues for di7, 40 please?
si5/14 more than one si4/5 I guess
di + ***ething is better than nothing + **e cream!
Trying that... none of the 4's seem to extend for me. I will try more persuasion.
Gotta go---be back tonight.
the letters are on the left si ** of the grid...past tense.
Bye, Scrabbler! Thanks again!
Later Scrabbler. Have a good one!
Take care Scrabs!
a square would be four "past tense" si4/5
Oh THERE! Thanks.
'Bye Scrabbs.
ty lor, would never have got that!
Now I'm up to 25 words. I keep seeing all these folks getting it in no time; this morning also. Am I the only one finding this grid a right pain?
stuck on last one, du5, 16 please? Would mean I actually get them all for 1st time!!!
Wish I had it for you!
extend the 5 jemmi, same as the si just clued....
the du 4/6 to be exact
du5/16 is a past tense ending...
good morning/afternoon everyone!
oh my god. Extend the 4, not the 5 ***sorry***
thanks!!!!
Hi!
G'd morning Annie!!!
Hi Annie.
Now I see what you mean by fireworks!!
Are Congratulations in order now jemmi?
YAY JEMI!
First finish jemi? Congratulations!!!
yay!!! Thanks all
Hi Lori, Jacula, MG and yay for jemima!
baby grid today...a monster for tomorrow?
finally got the hang of the clues
REALLY stuck on the ru4 and 5. The 4's I do have are one who regrets and impolite.
I hope so Annie!
Well, welcome to our addiction jemi. :-)
lol ty
ru 4, the one that does regret
past tense of regrets and more impolite
extend the impolite person for the 5
Thanks!
Had that past tense but not the other one. What's teh third 4?
FIREWORKS!:-)
***jemi's hooked now, nanner, nanner, nanner*** :-)
Oh, there, duh, thanks.
Congrats. I only have 15 so far ... depressing!
Congrats Jacula!
YAY Jacula! You're scary.
YAY for Jacula!!!***!!!
Scary? Oh dear, Monkey must've seen my photo! LOL

green, my best friend is a HUGE Sting fan--she'd be very jealous of your pic!
she carries around her autographed CD's in her bag! LOL
It truly was an amazing part of our trip!!! My husband is also a huge fan.
lol - funny thing is we saw Russell Crowe like 3 minutes before and didn't even do anything but elbow each other....
where the heck were u green?
my friend has been known to stalk him when he comes to town, hanging out in his hotel lobby! LOL
imagine passing Sting and realizing that it's him - and then calling out after him ..... "Uh, ....um, Sting? Gordon??? Um, excuse me???"
Sting, not Russell
hubby here is huge russel crowe music fan...
i'm rather fond of more than his music . . .
i'm not a fan of his at all...
we were in Australia over Xmas and New Year's and in this neighborhood where RC lives - on the water - and Sting was vacationing on a yacht. RC walked by w/ a couple of buds, and then WE SAW STING!!! it was wild
i can imagine!
Russell Crowe does music? I thought just movies - and known for bad temper
any help on the hi 5/16?
that is rather....wild...
my celebrity encounters have all been in NYC . . .
hi 5's build on the hi4 of hi** and seek fame
gotta get crackin'--BBL to finish last 7 . . . happy babbling!
he's a good singer....
Good Morning! Tell me, please....are there more than 12 words?
i tend to runinto famous people when im on vacation... my senior year in HS, my friends + i were going to the beach + we saw the band Everclear in the airport... after college graduation, i saw Meredith Brooks in italy... i saw a few people on the streets of NYC...
we see our share in NYC, also, in LA - my bro in law is an agent, my other b-i-l (his partner) has actually become mini-famous so we now "see" people
I am trying to remember name of band...
is mr crowes band 20 Odd Foot of Grunt (or somethingl ike that) ?
thanks carlee, i had the first two.... couldnt see the third - got it now
yeap..that the name of it
my b-i-l has a lot to do w/High School Musical, so we've gotten to meet Kenny Ortega and Ashlee Tisdale (during the same vacation as Australia) so my kids were in HEAVEN!!
they are pretty good...traditional rock
np kls
I didn't realize Carlee - I'll have to test my hubby and son -the music fans in the house
television question for the yanks in the house...do any of you get canada's kid tv channel YTV?
so, the HSM isn't quite as awesome as Sting (in our grown up eyes) but it is very cool for my kids and their friends
I don't think so Carlee - what is that?
youth tv
oh, bye Une (if you are still here to read that!)
is like disney channel...or nickolodeon..etc
nope not that I know of
ok...too bad... waiting to see some of the other canadians pop up on here
ok, potty calling (strong coffee, remember?) lol - and then bills - I'm off....thanks for the pompom twirl - don't work too hard today carlee!

hi, all. I found today's video to be quite helpful.
anyone able to clue du 5,16?
past tense of the du 4/6
past of du4/6
Duh! Thanks danf and jessmom!
yw librarygirl
What do you all mean when you talk about "today's video"? Do you have to go somewhere special to find it? Sometimes people post a link but i've never been able to use it?
librarygirl -- for those who have downloaded Babble Expert, when you finish the grid, there's a little video that plays at the end...it changes every day...
today's video refers to the video you see with fireworks on Babble Expert...which you get by e-mailing Lickety. He send you an exe file that runs babble, lickety's clue page, and several help programs in one window
Oh, I see. Probably can't do that at work b/c our IT dept. has to do all the downloading - don't know how I'd explain that it's necessary to my job! ;-) I could at home though.
Thanks for the info...
brb - we are going to go get a soft serve LARGE vanilla cone - i wish i could get y'all some to. ta ta - brb
Actually, if it's just a regular download, and not an installation, I might be able to...
I have a non babble question...
it has been a while, but i don't remember having to download or install anything. I got an e-mail, and the program was in it. I just copied it to my desktop, and it worked
(i might have had to decompress it, or whatever you call that process)
i'm listening MLF
HI dan
that is an EASY question...HI MLF!
Have you ever heard of an anti virus program called Avast?
how are things going today?
hello to all
HI praise
easy grid today praise
yeah I saw that earlier when i was in
just taking my time
can't sit for very long yet due to surgery
our IT guy says he's heard of it, and that it is ok...he didn't sound that enthusiastic about it though
i fnished it last night in an hour only asied for very few clues lol
I praise
hi dan
hmm i used to use AVG but its only free for 2 yrs and i dont like it
*Hi praise, although the other might work too, I guess LOL
I used another one after that which my puter didnt recognize
hehe yes it would
i dont like the more common anti virus programs either
that last one i used was called Bit Defender
I used windows Defender at work, but then I also use Firefox, so I don't have the virus worries that other people do. I use Norton at home (with IE7), with Defender as a backup, and have never had a problem.
dan i have firefox as well
i have IE but i cant use it with this internet
So Dan how do i know i am beign protected using Firefox?
i have a couple of Firefox add ons that are virus/pop up blockers, but i don't remember which ones they are. I'm a novice Firefox user, which is why I haven't switched at home yet
don i dont like firefox personally i prefer IE but i did have one of the version crash on me once a few yrs back
dan OOPS
i have a pop up blocker but have no idea what it is or where it is
just checked the add ons i have...noscript, DOM Inspector, and adblock plus...I also have one that makes Firefox work like IE7 with the whole tab thing (called IE Tab)
cool dan
Ad block and no script are very obvious when they are working...you have to "allow" ads and script to run on a page, or the won't load...it makes it tough the first couple of times you go to a site, but after you figure out what makes the site work, and what is not needed, it runs much better and you are protected against extra cookies and malicious bugs in the site
okay then i guess even though i uninstalled the antivirus program i had in that puter didnt recognize my puter shoudl be okay, i am still looking into it though for another FREE anti virus program
yeah all thesse "cookies" drive me nuts
Anybody thanks dan Bye for now see you all at the flip
FIREWORKS
yea praise!
(sorry about the delay...I had to step out for a minute)
that's okay dan ty!
going to go for a while now
hope to see you again soon!
see ya later praise
byee

Oh! I just found 'me' in the middle of the grid. (Not a real word though)

What does it mean in German?
It means "me".
Thanks!! I Apreciate ya pugmama!

hey, peeps
hi tyger
hey, lindy
how many more days now? :)
hoorah fireworks ty for clues
WTG ema
yay, ema
2 weeks tomorrow tyger
quite a combo of emotions for you - excitement/relief to finally get it done, combined with frustration for timing spoiling celebration of your parents' anniversary
yes tyger and I am sure reality will hit shortly too, I am still living in a fantasy world right now!!
just waiting for the fear to hit!!
techniques have gotten vastly better over the decades, so I expect your recuperation to be far less limiting & frustrating than mine was
fear? why, babe?
are we talking fantasies?
never had any surgery before and never even been in hospital before!!
hey, nutty. nope. talking surgeries
trying to stay in my fantasy world nutty, far from reality!!
well, that's silly! i can do your surgery for half price.
it's free nutty!!!!!!!!!
oh, lindy. there's really nothing to be scared of. Just be sure they check what they're doing with you before anesthesia :)
lindy doesn't live in the Land of Medical Expense
LOL will do tyger!
do you know what kind of anesthesia you'll have?
full knock out tyger!!
i have rum
but will it be inhaled, or a needle?
i have beer!!
IV
and that is not roman numerals!!
kind offer, nutty, but alcohol depresses various vital systems
it is a 3.5 hour surgery tyger!
ok...i have a variety of schedule something or other drugs here
don't want that for surgery. My dad had a fifth of whiskey before his lung surgery .... but that was in the 1930s
at my pre op the nurse said ' you have to stop smoking pot 2 weeks prior to surgery, oh by the way do you smoke pot' LOL
back then, they had no way of controlling respiration for anesthesia. can you imagine getting drunk, then a doctor cuts your chest open, saws through several ribs, and takes out one lung?
wow
so they gave him the fifth of whiskey
yes, lindy, medical science has come a long, long way
have to have one clear day with no alcohol before surgery doh! ):
and that, fellow Babblers, is a true story
hi all, a clue for di 7 please. i have been banging my head on the keyboard for awhile now
hi ak
I'm SO glad I wasn't born any earlier, medically speaking
hey, ak
de 5 please?
i'm glad i came after the tampon myself
oh nut!
di7: di + not none, not all, but ***e + adjective maker
di 7 sounds like an irish dancer without the c!!
de 5 -- modest and sweet (old word spelled wrong) not like nut
de5: take exception
de5 polite, quiet
poo on you ak...i'm nice and sweet
thanks for the de clues, can't believe i spent so long looking for that one!!

yeah for lindy
oh, ak, what a pity. I don't like ALL fish (e.g., sardines, anchovies), but I do love most fish
yay, lindy!
tyger is there a test later? should i be paying attention?
wow only took me an hour with chat and phone calls!! thought small ones were supposed to be hard!!
LOL, ak
lindy, this was the first easy small grid I can remember
very nice on a work night tyger!!
no doubt!
and almost no weird words, either
no weird words just weird babblers
and none of them things I don't regard as really not words
LOL ak
well, ak, what can I say? I is what I is :P
well i finish work at the end of this week so the grids can be as big as they like after that!! LOL
i lovr bring weird i think that normal is way over rated
ooops, I had too many negatives in that previous post. restate: none were things I regard as nonsense
tyger what do you do for work?
normal is boring!! LOL
there, now this is an appropriate icon
LOL nutty!!!!!!!!!
I don't, ak; I'm disabled since 1997. I used to be what was classed as a sr. secretary (but with admin. asst. duties) in an academic dept at a large university
now i kknow why you are so smart.
can you re freeze bread?
nutty, what is the image after irradiation in your gif? I can't tell
not recommended, lindy - dries too much
with my cold steely glare i can!
oh ok thanks tyger
goes very hard...
aww, ak. I was a geek long before that :D
LOL ak
there are so many super smart folks on here sometimes i hesitate to open my mouth (er keyboard)
we had power cuts on friday, so hubby unplugged 2nd freezer ( presumably so it didn't surge!!???) then forgot to plug it back in!! doh
lindy, you can try sprinkling over-dried bread with water, close tightly into a paper bag, and heat in oven at around 250F for 10-15 mins
ak - we're all word lovers. that's all that matters!
too much hassle tyger LOL
and we luv ya ak!! speak up
or type up!!
lindy make croutons!
do you know anyone with something (critters) that will eat the bread? how much is there to dispose of?
have you ever wondered why there is a best if used by date on the crouton package? what will happen? willt hey get stale????
what part of the too much hassle did you not catch ak!! LOL!!
but that's a great idea, ak!
only a few loaves tyger and around a dozen meal i prepared!!
lindy's focused on the surgery :)
owwww. those prepared meals need to be replaced. you will NOT want to do much cooking after the surgery!!
lindy's focused on being lazy!! LOL
may i ask, what type of surgery?
she's getting spayed ;D
i finish work on friday tyger so I will have a week and a half to cook
hysterectomy and corrective surgery ak
hahahahahahahahaha tyger LOL
lol tyger
just don't let hubby near the freezer, lindy :D
ak, my uterus is the size of a 28 week foetus right now!!
LOL tyger
lyndy you will do fine i am sure of itl
instant weight loss!
have no choice ak!! LOL
actually tyger i have been losing weight and getting larger!!
have you got clothes in the back of the closet you can dig out that will suddenly fit again??
fibroids lindy?
my closet houses all sizes of clothes
hundreds of them ak all mixed in with adenomyosis (where the outer lining attacks the inner lining)
i do not understand how things can shrink on the hanger
no just a wardrobe full of clothes that are too small!!
ohmygosh! poor you! ((((((lindy))))))
sorry, back...fish was good
you will feel better after the surgery
ak - they don't shrink. every few years manufacturers change the size descriptions
glad you enjoyed your roughy, nutty. I'm envious
in the last 4.5 years i lost 64 lbs so my wardrobe is very small as i had to throw everything away
i wish you good luck
i am now in yoga pants!!
thanks ak
oh is that how it works tyger, i thought i had a magic closet like narnia
nope, ak. I've got a pair of cutoffs from when I was a teen (dunno how I managed to hang onto them all these decades) that were size 18 back then. They're about the equivalent of a 14 now
actually i had fun last week, a lady asked me when i was due and i told her that i have a belly full of tumours!!! she was speachless!!
poor woman. I bet she wanted to die
speechless even!!
i read that on MSN the other day. Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 but now would be a 16 +
we laughed about it after though tyger!! LOL
oops the other way around
oh i don't understand your north american sizes!!
glad you were able to make her feel better, lindy
ah lindy don't you live in the same north america?
only been here for almost 5 years ak
but Canadians use Commonwealth measurements
eh?
I've shopped in Canada before :)
they don't use english sizes here tyger!!
but most have dual sizing
and i have been lots of different sizes since i was shrinking
and English sizing is even MORE different :)
dual sizing oh great i can be big and fat in 2 countries
so do you ask for help when you shop, lindy?
LOL, ak
no i just try stuff on tyger!!
on the same tag even
in zellers i am a size 5, in fashion stores i am a size 2!!
in the UK i am a size 10!!
me5/14?
expensive clothes are always made more generously
size 2? i no longer like you. my big toe is a size 2
hey, hi
LOL ak i am only 5 foot 2 inches tall (almost)!!
hi there hi there!!
me5: me + it's a nice *ay + double vowel
me 5/12 like the medical person just with 2 eyes
hi Hi
mini lindy :D
thank you ak! Fireworks!
more like fun sized
WTG hi there!!
yay, hi

I'm doing ok now - was off work for 8 weeks
(((Gentle hugs, MAMA)))
Yikes! 8 weeks? ..I'd be homeless ..

*Virtual backrub*
I got Short Term Disability through work for 6 weeks of it
"virtual mmmmmmmmm"
are you getting any rehab for the back and neck?
oh, please don't talk about being homeless around the girl who's closing on a condo in two weeks and hasn't got a job lined up yet
had physical therapy for 4 weeks - didn't help much though
did you move hursh?
I thought you were working, hursh - what happened?
4 weeks is not enough time for pt to really work or help
i am working but i gots to move to new haven, and so i gots to get a new job over there
that's what the neurosurgeon prescribed, so that's what the insurance would cover
lol there's a monkey in the grid.....ooo ooo ooo ahh ahhh
find a good masseus who does reflexology, that may help loosen the back without hurting it. it did wonders for my siatica
I've never had a massage..... hopefully someday
what's the di 7 anyone?
i have a wonderful massage therapist. she's god's hands! and she does the reflexology when i'm really hurting.

hi nance
speaking of SMALL, my martin cat is estremely teensy
and yet, so fierce and ferocious
yay, got 'em this time. Anybody need a clue before I'm out of here?
whoooo hoooooo SHARON!
my little black cat stole a whole loaf of white wheat bread and carried it through the house to her lair
i'm doing ok, thank you. but, boy, do i ever aa bruise from china on the underside of my left breast.
owie, nance. how'd that happen?
i'm heading home - bbl
oh dear, do you think someone has been racist to her?
okay....everybody have a good night, and I hope you voted! I was at the polls all day
sweet sleep, sharon
hahahaha - no she runs the house - dogs catz et al
nite sharon.... later, rennie
oh, i just know my marty likes carrots, cause they are orange, and he's orange...
later mama bbl after i finish my work
i never expected to have such a bruise on the underside of my left breast
that's funny, i'm always expecting to have a bruise on the underside of my left breast and it never turns up. maybe you got mine.
bye sharon
is this chat acting weird?
you mean in that nobody is chatting?
anyway; it looks like i have two incisions with stutures under the skin & glue on top of the two.
is it very sore nance?
no - i meant when i was typing my chat, it would type one word on a line at a time.
just chalk it up to pernicity and mervin peter
o loll
so, nance, what happened to your breast? was it caused by surgery? i'm so confused and concerned
the pain isn't so bad with the meds.
oh good nance
I think I will actually attempt this grid. 45 words, must be nasty...
hi red, it is quite a nice grid
the think that worries both my husband and I are the glued top enclosures. they are pulling apart. we may need to go see the surgeon or my family doctor tomorrow.
*thing not think
ok, i have a question. if you were in a restaurant, what would bother you more: your food not being cooked to the absolute highest standards, or the head chef apparently having a psychotic break in the kitchen?
hi, all...
hey pam
best to get them checked out if you are worried nance, if only for peace of mind
hi pam
the latter, hursh, the latter
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
oh good, me too
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
hi min how ya doin?
nance, have the sutures looked at.
Hi Min! welcome to the grid! how are you tonight?
I'm well.I just got fireworks! c 5/14 was my last word
Nance, definitely have the incision looked at. Hursh, well it kinda depends on the restaurant.
whooooo hoooooo MIN!
hi, min, and congrats!!!!
brb
Wahoo Min!!!
murder is my phantom
i would have to go with the psyhcotic break
Hi, everybody!
it was the first word I "saw," red
if i were agatha chrisie, i would use that for a title, nance
the second was another phantom, limpid
Hi, jellen
It was mine today too.Must have tried a zillion times!
(((((Nance)))))
hi jellen
limpid is a lovely word.
but, see, this is where i think the flaw in the hell's kitchen concept lies. i think most people would really be more bothered hearing all this yelling in a fancy restaurant than because their halibut is a bit dry.
Anyone see the NC returns on the primary??????
<POMPOM TOSS> for minver
lol, red
Thanks carleekat!
Obama for NC, Clinton for IN, red
WTG min
obama got NC
hi carlee
clinton ILL
yaaay Obama wins in NC.
yes, obama has NC
in pardon me
looks like Hillary will take in it iN...
so far by a lot...
dawger - sorry it took so long to answer, but there seem to be 50 million questions flinging through the comment section tonight.
Maybe some people know that many kitchens are a bit well, frenetic, hursh. it really is something based on more than a kernel of truth, hursh
they aren't calling indiana yet, it's only 53-47 with 66% reporting
but it's an OPEN kitchen, you can see and hear everything from the dining area!
CNN and CBS called it, I thought, Hursh. Thanks for the update
I'm now watchign the election news...i am surprised that Hillary is pullin Indiana, but ah well...
oh, i'm on c-span2, maybe wrong channel for it
That then, would definitely have me OUTTA there, hursh. Prefer Wendy's to that...
does anyone know what makes a dog shake?
I am watching fox news, election headquarters...but Now...I think I have enough news...
msnbc, fox, cnn - none calling.
fear, often, lind. Stress. allergy. seizure
my poochie baby is ill
pam - u think i should go and have either the surgeon or my family doctor look at the sutures looked at? i had no idea that my breast would look so black & the the glue would look like skin peeling lik it il
shake like, shake off water when wet, or shake like shiver?
no no one was called it for Indiana. But I am pleased pleased pleased aboutt he NC primary.
like shiver hursh
thanks, hursh!
*like it is
yes nance go for peace of mind at least
cold? wet? thunder? mmm...
Red is here, so she can chime in, but I had glue, and have seen it used on others, and it can come undone. And, hte black andblue does not surprise me
ok y'all - what would i do without you and my husband
Glue?
I am so happy about that, too, red.
(((((((nance)))))))))
Nances's sutures, red...
have i mentioned people are free to copy my icon at any time if they wish? :) :) :)
Oh, have the surgeon look at it. He did it. The primary will know less.
LOLOLOLOL, hursh
nice hursh.
Glue and me, we didn't get along, red. Then again, my wound dehisced after two surgeries and finally healed by secondary intention, so I am always about going to the surgeon!!!
Oh how can I be stuck at 26 words...
you can't. therefore you aren't. it's just a bad dream. pinch yourself, and you'll wake up and say, of course i can find these words
you'll say, i'm a nurse, i'm a babbler, and gosh darn it, people like me!
I really should be asleep, but I so want to watch the new episode of "Work out" on Bravo....so entertaining.
Just checking in before my visiting sister and I start a game of Scrabble. She whooped me last night.
nance--how are you? any news?
hi scrabs
Nance, now that scrabs is here, as her. she's the doctor!
Hi Scrabs!
RTH, I went to the list with 13 left. There are some weird words in the grid.
can't believe i had such a hard time finding the ci 5
nance--the bruising is expected--lots of stretching and digging around.
Lind, you might want to snuggle with your pupster. s/he may be scared or cold. if sick, you can tell that too by holding her/him
I have 15 left now...
my jokes are really falling flat tonight.
there are some weird words scrabbs!
go red!
thanks dawg, he is curled up on my knee!!
Scrabs!!! Hope you are having a good visit!
i am enjoying them hursh
No Hurshy, I am really tired...work was a bit much today...sorry you are funny, I am just tired...
I just counted 17 weird ones out of the 45/
oh good, i'm glad someone is.
May I please have a clue for ic4-6. Thanks
hello, scrabsis!
she's sorry i'm funny! !
they way i like my tea is ic**
dawg he went into anaphylactic shock last friday after his rabies shot, but was fine by sunday after the vet saw him saturday.
mmm... ic4 your knee because it was injuramoused
She is upstairs changing into pajamas. She spent the day at the Niagara Falls, NY casino with my father. They had a blast, and lost $.
Whoa, Lindy--scary!
that is scary, lind...
sounds like a lot of fun, scrabs...
oh lind, how scary for you. Hopefully, the shock didn't cause any lasting effects.
it was scrabs and now he is acting funny and was shaking a few mins ago
Scrabs, blast...only if it's someone elses money! lol
Tomorrow we will kayak, as long as the weather holds up.
he is settled on my knee right now
oh, maybe you should go to animal hospital
what kind of pupster, Lind?
Thank you...I forgot that I need id5-14 as well.
it's closed right now hursh but i might send my hubby with him first thing
My sister enjoys gambling--says it is entertainment. I don't get it---losing hard-earned money in minutes or even less.
he is a jack
oh me neither scrabs LOL
by the way, grrrr
i just read today that fedex's profits got boosted because they can charge more in fuel surcharges.
Ok, she is ready for Scrabble! Last night I excelled in choosing vowels and wimpy 1-point tiles.
Bye kids!
good luck scrabs
13 left....grrr. going to list.
i hope they are donating those profits to charity.
gpeach, id 5 is a type of speech, as in jargon
a jack russell dawg
bye, scrabs
night scrabs, have fun
how old is he, Lind?
he will be 4 in no
nov
he has stopped shaking now he is snuggling!!
hmm, i hope he didn't get into something to make him sick. but i'd probably call the vet in the morning and ask for advice on his condition
he was sick all friday night, i was up every 30 mins to take him out, then he started with the runs. the vet gave him 2 injections and some gastro food
feel his ears are they extremely warm?
not warm at all
ibewgar
canned pumpkin helps animals when they are having a digestive problem
well, he's not running a fever. that's good.
thanks hursh
sorry, I misspelled your name.
i know cause it helped my mitty this weekend.
he is laying here as if nothing is wrong!!! right on top of me!!
just make sure it is only pumpkin and no sugar and things added.
:-) lol, i've had it spelled many different ways, but that was a first, GAPeach!
ok hursh
hubby will be home in about an hour, so i'll see how he is by then
what did the vet think cause the aniphilactic shock?
rabies shot
bad serum? or just a reaction?
so the 2 jabs were free of charge!!
just a reaction
poor little baby! (((HUGS)))
so next time he will need extra jabs first to compensate
thanks dawg
he may be just having some smaller reactions til it gets into his system. Little dogs are so susceptible to the littlest things
yeah i don't think his tummy is settled yet, maybe stuff is still working through his syste,
m
help with the 2 me words???
mashed taters or rice will help his tummy. just like a human.
oh ok thanks dawg

Good! You know the saying though, "If you don't like the weather, give it a minute, it will change."
LOL - never heard that one before
I'm going to go grab a late bite of dinner. Take care and hope to see you later.
have a good night!
Thank you and you do the same.
Bye Nonnie!
hi guys
how are things with your new novio, j?
hi dorens
Great, Ping!
Hi, Dorens!
That's so nice, j. I like happy news.
cool jellen. keep it up (i loved that pic you showed--- he's a looker)
i agree with dorens
how's phoebe?
Thanks, Dorens and Ping. I happen to agree with you :-)
she's great ping, thanks for asking. talked to her on the phone last night (didn't understand much of what she said, but it was delightful to hear her voice)
how did you meet jellen?
is she 2?
Online, Dorens, at a dating web site.
i was pretty much giving up on them jellen, not had much luck there. Ping, she will be on july 5
then it's cool that she's talking at all!
brb
it is ping... but with her parents, it's not surprising... major brain power on both sides. and much encouragement. (and NO tv)
I was very lucky, Dorens. Met 4 fairly nice guys in a short amount of time.
cool... which site, or do you not want to say?
plentyoffish.com
It's free.
interesting name, and I've never heard of it... will try it out when i have a minute or two free... right now tho, i need to finish this grid.... coming home at 10:00 isn't great for me when i have to get up at 6 am

Hello all!
Hi jilli!
Just been scrolling back and enjoying the icons, but I wonder if anyone here is aware that there are icon themes each day which can be very interesting? If you don't know anything about the theme, you can google it and learn something, as I did with today's, which is Kirlian photography (what???)
Just read your profile, Jilli. Very interesting.
Tomorrow's theme is "A picture of you at 16"
Egad!!!
Thank Jacula for the suggestion :)
To find the icon theme there are a few ways. One is to go to Lickety's page. Another is to look for Babbler in Who's Online and put her in you My Friends so you can check each day.
Another is easy if you have BabbleExpert -- go to Resources up above and Icon Themes
A lot of people have contributed ideas and you can too, just by emailing Babbler
Here endeth the first lesson, lol!
So I shall shut up and help clue, if needed
I guess I'm talking to myself, sigh
It's been very quiet in here, Jilli.
Dang -- hoped to get some newbies interested in the themes.
Have you finished, jellen?
Yes. I finished this afternoon.
I'm just reading and checking the chat occasionally.
I guess they weren't newbies...anyway, congrats, jellen! It was too small -- something I rarely complain about!
well i just had a scare. 5 words to go and i spent the last 30 minutes trying to get connected to the internet. i had to call att customer service and everything.
It was too small and not difficult, either.
well, you still have almost an hour, cheeky -- gogogo!
Glad you're here now, cheeky!
do you need clues, cheeky? Or can I go and check my email?
thanks jellen
i am resorting to lickety which i didnt want to do. and have only 2 left. i should be fine.
ok, back in a bit
there, 45 words. i only needed 4 minutes for the last 5. man lickety's list makes life easier.
Can anyone give me a clue for me 5, 14
me5,14 works the same way that the word for all the distances from the center of a cirle to the edge of a circle works.
Congrats, cheeky!!!!
....and still not getting it. lol
hey jellen, are you supposed to get rained on all day tomorrow? i just heard that i am going to get wet.
Same first three letters as me5/16 + double vowel
Yes, expecting rain tomorrow. Thought it would hit us today.
AHHH! Fireworks, thanks!
Yay for Lauren!!!!
jellen, i have some friends who go to buffalo run often. they are poker players. i drive by going to tulsa occasionally but have never even exited by you.
We have a nice little town, cheeky. Love to meet you sometime.
Only 2 to go de5/16 and di 7/40. Help please?
de + a wall painting is a ***al
de + reverse spelling of the drink favored by pirates
di7= di + do re mi fa ** la + speak into the ***rophone
Hi, stid!
Thanks all! Fireworks!!
hi jellen, that gives me firewords and I shall slip out quietly. {{{hugs}}]
Congrats rhozee and stid!!!!
hi stid -- I always miss you here!
only two more ch 6 and me 5
I'm now waiting for my fourth Babble. The absolute highlight of my morning! What kind of Babble shall it be...
ch6's both are from the ch5/16
I guess the me 5 you need is the one which ends with a doble vowel, bekki?
brb
after a 45 we will get hit with a 547
ajv, I hope it won't be 698 words!
Now to get my new icon -- the theme is A Picture of You at 16, suggested by jacula
i have the me with double vowels
I hope it too. But today is a luxurious day, both my "big boys" (=2 and 3-yer-olds) will be the whole day visiting their uncle, my hubby is working, so it's only me, my baby, my knitting and Babble...
bekki u need the me thats a doctor?
i dont have a pic of me at 16 lol at least not scanned into the puter!
thank you kazozz. that was it, now a ch 6 and i'm done
