Been a while so took me a minute, but yup.
Hello at last
wow, this grid is monkeyriffic!
evening, jilli
phantom decade
Just woke up enopugh to rememeber my morning antibiotic. Yay, my foot seems to be healing up just fine!
Hi Jilli!
hi jilli
dc -- just saw your Gorey fandom -- me too -- likewise grandson
glad to hear, monkey
grandson, jilli?
oh, ur grandson, :D
well... I must dash, but it was fun stopping by and actually finishing a grid. it's been weeeeeks
see my flckrs, dc
Bye!
i imagine my nephew will be, he liked Sendak from an early age.
g'night, freep, good to have seen you. :)
sorry, dc, not too swift tonight
Walter likes Sendak too. And of course Seuss. Not sure he's ready for Gorey. Which, as you surely know, is actually the source of the word in English.
np, jilli, i'm overtired, as i've not been up this late in ages :)
wow, freep! I haven't even started!
BRB!
dc, see my bio for my unreasing reason
unreasoning
is this teeny one as nasty as most teeny ones?
i think so lol
*hugs jilli* beautiful cat
hi all!
and i'd say so about the grid, jilli
my first word stinks
the usual suspects have finished jilli ...even drbernardo was here
i've gotten 44 in 45 min so far.
wow! the return of DrB? Where has he been?
that is a wonderful picture, dc
he had 20h of classes this semester, so he's been busy
6 tortuous words to go
wtg and ty dc (talk aboput code!)
ty, babbleRabble, and good evening.
not sure if that's a word but it's my word :D
OK, RB.
jill that cat is stunning!
oh, and jilli, trough and though are the same sound in my dialect.
Hubby wantx to go ot bed pfff
good night leavig with only 38 words found
trough and tough rather. :)
Oh, just went to look at the cat.... I'm so sorry, Jilli! She was gorgeous.
one is off and the other is uff to me, dc
sigh....I'd tell mine to take a hike lol
night mlf
just read your profile jilli, i am so sorry
they're bouth a vowel between those here, jilli
What dialect is that, dc?
lol, dc
thanks, mva
i have a Southern accent, grew up outside of DC in Northern VA.
Hi! sorry to hear about your cat, jilli. was this the one that wanted cuddles every night?
today jilli?????
Ah, I have a friend from Roanoke. Is that anywhere near the same region?
yes, chic, and we had a last lovely one this afternoon
last dr word is odd to me.
no, monkey, roanoke is 5-6h from here.
today, mar
variable spelling of the dr5 dc...
oh no jilli was this sudden????
OK. My intra-state US geography lacks a bit. You should hear Dutch in that accent, though!
jilli, I am SO sorry things went as they did at the vet, but I know you did what was best for Susie. (((((jilli)))))
I only have one word -- the stinky re4/8
LOL monkey.
thanks, tyger, but the vets were very kind
Virginia is larger than most people think, people in Ohio are always confused that VA Beach is 4h from here. heh.
jilli.....what happened???
I just woke up a few minutes ago from a nap after getting home about 10pm my time with son from emergency (his 3rd day of horrible pain from last November's back injury). I did send you an email yesterday before leaving for that.
hi all -- looking forward to a nice fat grid and i see 67 !! 8-(
dr perhaps is a scatological staple
this picture is of my dear Susie about 17 years ago
i hope he's doing better, tyger
awww jill :(:(:( I'm so sorry
hi book
in my experience, vets are always kind when doing that. I've never seen one who wasn't sympathetic to the owner, and compassionate to the pet
but was this sudden???
morning, gwen :)
clue for the gy 8?
morning ata and mva :)
tyger, I think i replied
thx, DC. we're taking turns at my bed. He's still too woozy from the dilaudid shot to attempt to drive hom
many vowels, ruru
hi dc!
haven't received a reply yet, jilli. I checked before speaking up
very latinate word, ruru, starts with woman prefix
I may have missed something jilli....and I'm sorry if i did but was this sudden?
well, tyger, i certainly meant to but not too with it to day
but you are in another "box" right now - the room of grief (one I know too well). Don't worry about it
wow, ye4/10 i haven't heard since great-grandpa Fred died. :D
gy 8 -- add back of the neck: **p* and pacific o***n
ok won't ask anymore ...
i see Ms Perlman is back tonight.
mar, it has been coming on for some time but I finally bit the bullet
jilli, understandably you're a bit out of it, been a hard day for you :(
but I can't recall you mentioning anything about it :( I 'm very sorry jilli
with an aging pet, that is a decision that often takes a while to come to the point of action
dc, tomorrow will be too -- putting away all her things
yeah, been there before. :( And i've a 17-year-old.
mar, guess you weren't aroudn -- I'm afraid I've been going on about it most of yesterday at least
DC, just read your profile. You lost your dad very young
(((jilli)))
11 to go and that will have to wait till tomorrow, my face is stuck on the keyboard i am so sleepy, beautiful cat jilli and such a wonderful memory to always have, night all
i was 15, my sister was 12 at the time, tyger, so yes.
I understand that but Jilli, you didn't say anything about it, at least not in the late evening ....
I must say all of you have been SO supportive -- more so than my real family
I lost my mom when I was 13, so I'm equipped to empathize with you.
*hugs jilli madly*
well, jilli, this is a sort of surrogate family for most of us :)
so . . . how many English words are there with a double Y ?? LOL
dc, my late hubby was 12 when his dad died.
and I, my dad suddenly at 19 whom I found and had to tell my mom :(
Oh, mar -- how awful!
my dad died when I was 19. 3 weeks before my university final exams
we talk about almost anything and everything, and nearly everybody is supportive - a very rare place, this
that was no fun, i'm sure just.
eegad, just, that's bad!
I mean I was 19, he was only 53 :(
indeed, tyger.
true tyger
my dad was 41, as was his mother, when they each died.
yes, tyger -- I tell my friends and family and they just don't get it
oh dc, how very sad!
his sister was 56 when she passed of the same thing.
my mom was sleeping downstairs on the sofa, I came home from a date, went upstairs and found him....
my mom was sleeping on the sofa when the call came in about my father.
what was the same thing, dc, if you don't mind my asking?
I think most of the people in here are pet lovers, and we all tend to care about critters in general
Absolutely, Tyger.
every life is of value
and many of us have experienced personal tragedies
I have no pets jilli, but my sis has 2 aging cats that she loves to pieces, so I do understand
Again, absolutely.
i love animals. my histamines are another question LOL
ac6 clue pleae
pleaes
please
To Jilli, that was. But now also to Tyger.
oh, my father, his sister, their mother, and her brother all died of amyotropic lateral sclerosis, aka ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease/Motor Neuron Disease.
my father killed himself, because he met up with me a few weeks before he died for the first time in 18 years. joy.
I understand, gwen
Ruru, that one's driving me nuts too.
how awful for you, ata *hug*
that is so horrible ata....my heart goes out to you
meh. his problem. but it took a while to realise that!
OMG, dc!! Didn't think there was a familial connection to that horror!
ac6 - ends like the news m8888
how awful for you ata
no clue on ac6, but I just figured out ac7 :)
thanks dc
oh dc, thats so awful :(
(((((ata)))))
suicide is so cruel to those left behind
yes, jilli, there are 3 different genes that are indicators of it.
my sister and i are at very, very low risk, as it's autasomomal recessive
and no history of it on mom's side
ye gods, this is getting so sad for everyone!
a happy thing! I saw Viggo Mortensen today! For real!
glad to hear that part dc!
i used dad's family as a case study for autosomal recessive inheritence for a genetics class in 11grade.
lol did you? now tell us who that is!
oh neat, ata! :D
DC, if you didn't get A+, there was something wrong with your teacher!
well, DNA testing may help in the future for such things
*gasp* he played Aragorn in LotR
the teacher had had an uncle who'd died of it, so yes, i got an A for that.
My family has a thing like that, a huge number of arteriovenous malformations. When I learned the full extent a year ago, I got an MRI. I am clear. So then I heard from a long-lost cousin, told him I'm clear. he got worried and got tested.... and is going to get brain surgery just in time. Evidence of prior bleeds and everything.
indeed, jilli :)
oh well that s'plains it cause I have no culture
glad that he is able to be helped, monkey
he 6 please
I'm not a movie buff - almost anti (don't hate movies, just don't care), so I didn't know either
SOOO glad your cousin learned in time, games
oh well. I am on cloud 9 because of it.
monkey, thank whatever gods (and scientists) may be for modern medical research
Me too! And he's not happy about what's wrong but IS happy the "atypical migraines" are explained and treatment is available. He always knew something was wrong.
I would be too, Ata
only saw first part of the trilogy
still looking for it, i am, ruru
:D Jellen. We lurked around the film set for his latest film. he's pretty
Yeah, andthank whatever communication gods caused him to stumble upon my website and decide there was a good chance I was his aunt's daughter. Long family history thing here, but I had no idea he existed!
yay, got my second word (ac4/6) lol
go, jilli!
Morning all ((jilli and Ata)) Babble and sudoku done so I guess lots of work will get done today too!

dc -- glad you're here late again, lol
wtg Dee
oh, tyger, your poor son!
ty monkey, just, and babble! Hi jili; so sorry to hear about your beloved pet. Your house must feel very empty.

yes, i miss being here during my night, great group at this hour
YAY dee!!!
yeah, well, we're trying to deal with things as best we can
Hugs jili!

Ta, tyger!

(((((jilli))))) once more
sounds like a terrible burden, Dee
njoy, tyger :)
*poof*
he6, the period of time when you are in your prime. compound word. rhymes with a pile of icecream with cherry
marilyn -- did you see my message a while ago? That I found /salt Point? That my aunt had I place I used to visit as a kid near Hortontown, just off the Taconicsouth of there?
great clue BD
8-D
kind of an odd spelling for me though always thought the second part used the first vowel
Me too, Dee.

the concept of speelling in Engrish is always ifffy
great clue, but I am still lost after hey
well off to move my laundry over; Hugs to you all and hope you have a great day/eve. That's so true BD.

D** of the week but diff vowel
well said, gwen. you should see the James Nicoll quote toward the bottom of my profile
Bye, Dee!
*poof* with hugs

You've all heard how to rationalize spelling fish GHOTI, right?
It's south of Salt Point on the other side of the Taconic -- same generalarea full of little places
yep, monkey -- why
monkey, i know that one, yep 8-)
Just because there was discussion about the vagueries of English spelling.
well it may only be 7.30am but one of my clients is already up and send emails so I will get a head start on the day and bid you Happy Babbling.

morning all!
hi pink
hi jilli
O.0 small one today. Hey all

oh poot
hello herin
2nd column greyed (started late -- zillions have finished)
Hello sorry my net just up and croaked
as usual, herin?
26 words and time to go!
Business as usual. Its what happens with wireless broadband. If the signal vanishes so do i
Later AJV. How are you and hello Jill
Hi everyone
but you're here now :)
Hi Jilli, how was bridge?
hi flosey -- insomnia?
didn't go, flosey -- see my bio
just woke up, thought was morning
OH Jilli. I am so so sorry
Jilli did she just pass in her sleep?
ah Jilli, so sorry
well, flosey, it IS morning where you are (here too)
almost morning jilli - just after 3: am
No, herin, had to take her to the vet's -- hard decision
OH hun. I am so sorry. It is very hard to express how sad i am about this. Maybe Callie, China and her are all scamping about together somewhere nice and warm
a very tough decision jill, one we'll have to face witgh Misha soon
that's **with
HI Flosey
hi herin
nice thought, herin -- we had a good cuddle in the garden before I took her in, and then she slept in my arms.
:( Sad. She was/is pretty kitty.
She wanted to be alive and with me, but her body wouldn't let her
I think this grid is re5/22
:(
Jill i just sent you a facebook message
jilli *huggggg* You will miss her so much :( Morning all.
good evening family sorry im late just back from counselling
thanks herin
think I should just go back to bed - this grid looks very unfriendly
hi flosey
Hi sprite
hi sprite
good idea, flosey -- I now have 18 words
hi Kiwi
hope it went well, kiwi
lol, I have 8
I have 8 too, but cannot find the K, of course.
sprite, the K is easy
that is one of my words
there ain't no such thing as an easy K
(that's not a clue)
it is driving me krecy as usual.
I have 3 BT -- the two ys and the G
sprite -- it's quite an ordinary word
I have not yin and something rhyming with the eyeless side of the body plus past tense for the Y.
how can it be an ordinary word if it starts with K??? Especially since it cannot be kiss.
I got the k, you too can unlock the secret of it
HI Everyone. I just crashed my internet
ei 4?
got the not yin, ty, psrite
psrite is happy to be of assistance, jilli :)
sprite, listen to mummy
ohhhhhhh I got it. Thanks mummy and jilli!
that makes 18... now for the rest. Who is washing these grids too hot, so they shrink?
and got the eyeless side too, sprite, lol!
didn't know how else to clue it, jilli, lol.
and got the G
ei4: think of a kind of down, feathers.
so just one BT now -- the middle Y
like the denim, jilli
that's over my head, sprite
do i really feel like doing this grid lol only got 5 words down
another word for blue denim trousers? And then drop the last letter.
i dont like this grid
Kiwi, I just started and have 26 so far. It is doable, though not easy.
nor I, and I don't think It'll look any better after more sleep
well, I got a Y from there --- oh, I see what you mean, sprite, duh! Thanks (not too bright tonight)
I went to the gym today
*hugs jilli*
Hugs Jill
I've been here for about an hour and have 25 and NBT -- sprite's been here for about 5 minutes
I haven't seen it yet, and I've had 4 hours sleep
what's NBT, jilli?
and sprite found her K thanks to mummy and jilli
No Blank Tiles, LadyN

Time for a babble whilst waiting for the gasman to come and change my meter. 4th time lucky I hope. Waited in for the last three Mondays. His excuse - he couldn't find my house - you can't miss it!
brb gotta put a load of laundry on

Frances get the gas company to compensate you
I did infernal. My name is cupid not stupid! Lol

Ha ha I do
hello peoples!!!
Hey pink
Hi pink
Hi Pink!
phhhhttttt
good eve pink happy babbling
I is smarter than u
hey herin, frances, lynxxx, gk and sprite!!!
hehe - got a 7
is it me or does most of the little words sound like they are irish or scottish or ole english based rofl
so do i phtt lol
But i got it first
i got both sevens now lol
i got the Fs. Don't mind Grovvy and I being Five
17 got 17 greyed tiles lol
back. my dear hubby has been wise, he has called in sick at work. Halleluyah for the victory of good sense.
did he catch your bug spritey?
Is he sick Sprite or is he cough cough 'sick'
Sprite, not out of his blue funk yet?
he started crying at Mother's Day's breakfast and couldn't stop the rest of the day. I have been telling him he was steering straight towards burnout, but of course he could not believe that... and now he can't go any further.
hugs for spriteys hubby
oh He needs to speak to someone.
Hi all...:>)
good heve hodag happy babbling
and a smooch on the side - a quickie so spritey doesnt see lol
HI Hodag
he has a job that takes everything you got and gives nothing back, not even job satisfaction. He has been doing 'double duty' at home since I became an invalid. And we have money worries. Enough to get the strongest men on their knees, isn't it.
hi ho!
he does, lady, he does.
well at least he has finally given in spritey thats the first step
OH that is good Sprite. He can't just have you to chat to as good as that is :D
and it takes a strong man to actually give in
Sprite, he may also have picked up the flu bugs from you or Random and that may be effecting him as well. Wouldn't hurt to see the doctor
it is, Kiwi. Though he still claims it is only going to be for a few days... but at least he agreed to see the doctor first.
i got the perfect solution
he needs to come to babble counselling lol
no lady, you are correct, and I meant he does have to talk to someone, but he doesn't have much friends.
How are you kiwi,sprite lady and anyone I missed!!!
hehehe Kiwi :)
Hi Hodag!
within reason im doing good hodag and u?
Hey Lyn,good morning :>)
doing my darndest best to not give in to panic, with my love breaking down and myself in bad shape. But not giving in is my strongest side, so I guess we will manage again.
I sat down today and realised that i have many acquaintances but no friends that i wholly trust.
Dear Sprite in order to be a better helper you need to help yourself first or it will all just crash at yuor feet
herin u got me :)
yeah, but we have two kids walking around he4 too, lady... someone has to be strong at any given time.
and spritey you got me too whenever you need my shoulders for a change
Sorry Sprite ( arms around Sprite with BIG hug)!!!!
*hugs Kiwi* I know, hun, and that really helps!
Maybe take turns?
Groovy i mean someone that i can come around and blab about random crap and not feel unguarded which i am not with people online
dont squeeze her too hard hodag she might burst lol
thanks all :) Yes, take turns, and keep everything out in the open, so we can decide from moment to moment what is the best way to go together.
ahhhhhh i c pity you too fara way from me to come for a visit
Yep.
spritey take him for a walk anywhere nowhere and just enjoy the moment talk if you want do or dont talk just hold hands and relax
oh herin
i got the 8 now lol
one good thing is: my love is feeling better when he can be active, physically. He can do things like shopping, which I cannot. And I can be his support in emotional ways.
http://www.dailypuppy.com/ We all need this
great id4, Kiwi :) I would if I could walk more than 5 minutes. And I don't have the 8 still!
well go for a five min walk then even if its down the street and back
just get outside and take some deep breaths together
I am gonna push the doggie through now for sure... very good way to be out a couple times a day.
but just do it together - supporting each other
we will, thanks Kiwi. We will need to balance being together, supporting eachother and having the space we need.
I find if i am feeling like poop i do a home spa. Put on my fluffy dressing gown put on a mud mask and a hair treatment and veg. Or bath
how are you yourself, ho?
gee come do me herin lol
BBL need to sort my "doggie" out
lol, big doggie :) Have fun, lyn

good morning Cool.....:>)
is she nice, lady?
Yep. She apoligised for her daughters ill behaviour towards me on Sunday
that is special, lady.
wow im glad that got sorted
i know that you were on a :( after that
AC 7 please
I was :( after Sunday but we got it sorted
extension of the ac 4/6 that burns in your stomach
ty good clue Kiwi
great clue, thanks Kiwi
thanks i didn't see that top letter
yvw
nor me, was also wrestling at the bottom, lol
Most of these letters are freaking useslee
the de 7 is the past tense of the de 5/18
is the gy related to the study of women?
darn, I had the present tense. Fish me please. Thanks Kiwi, for all the biggies!
No idea
and the gy 8 must have something to do with an the obs and gy branch of medicine lol
kinda, pink. It is a plural (greek) for living quarters of women.
so: yes about women, no about the medical branche
(among the ancient Greeks) the part of a dwelling used by women
well excuse me if i dont know my greek roflol
yes, i just checked meaning
im more in tune with the medical side of the starting on the word rofl
tsk, that is what I said!
eyes are getting heavy,bye kids......lol
sleep well, ho!
Sorry.
nite hodag sweet dreams
Later Ho
anyway im nicely drained after my counselling session so i think i might go have an early nite too
he4 I am being a fountain of info and nobody even reads it! Tsk tsk tsk.
sounds wise to me, Kiwi. Sleep well and rest even better *hug*
I pasted just as you did sorry

mmfffffffp
bye Sprite
bye Sprite
good morning Babblers
HI Nono
Hi Nono
hello all again! dinner and homework is in full swing, so will be in and out of here
hi MrP :)
How is it going MR Pres
wb MRP
going good... having a few 'issues' at work cause my dear darling boss is going through crap at home... hoping whe will get better
ok
it is amazing how upset people can get with stuff at home! teenagers can kill you (emotionally)
Sounds like a lot of emotional baggage gets unloaded at that canteen MRP
and husband having no job can also be a problem
yes lynxx! it is amazing what gets dropped off at canteen!
you know what I hate??? it must be generational....
what?
I am off and done
dice
I hate when people say '' whatever! don't want to talk about it".... and put their hand out to you and then turn their back to you... where the hell was that born?
nite herin
Congrats Infernal...and bye, extra blankets tonite
Will do.You too.
woohoo wtg Herin
sorry
nuts no video
If I dont wanna talk about something... I apologise for my not wanting to talk, profusely!!! and say I will talk about it later when I am calmer
Am I being too sensitive??
oh the speak to the hand thing. I agree, its rude - you are usually only trying to be compassionate
Also, my 'boss' has decided that I am taking over next year... ergo, I have no choice. I am having a few scans at the end of this week... they will determine my future for 2009. I am really surprised she didn't think of that
i totally agree mrp, but i don't think its generational.... I seem to get it from everyone
I was lynxxx. my compassion was pissed on
I would never hold my hand out to someone and say 'get out of my face'... that is really rude. If someone was upsetting me, I would certainly let them know and sort it out, but not like a 3 year old
Its lovely to be sensitive MRP, don't change. Just shrug your shoulders and get on with getting on. It takes all sorts and some people are just not good at handling their emotions
I am sounding like my grandma!! holy heck! shoot me now!
too right lynxx. I feel for my friend, she is going through stuff... but it isn't as bad as what some go through... I have seen (been through) real crap! So I hope she can see through it all. She will come out fine.
well, off to do more homework with the kids!! I can't believe how much homework Maddison gets from college!! it must be about 12 hours worth + her school homework! poor child
see you all in abit
bye for now MRP
later mrp
67 and FIREWORKS!
Congrats Nono!
strange, Herin said she got no video but I have one
Sprite was laughing at it too
it is good for a chuckle today
ok guess i better get some things done this morning while i have a chance. Happy babbling everyone
bye Nono
Hi folks! Bach again for a few minutes over lunch. How is everyone?
Love the river dance monkeys.
Hi Monkey & Frances
Hi lyn. How are you?
Good thanks, if a bit chilly. Just finding my last word
We are having very hot weather for the time of year - wonderful!
Here too.
Netherlands, that is.
Where are you Monkey?
You answered as I was typing LOL
Haarlem, Netherlands.
Cloudy, cold and windy here in north east England
Not with the Haarlem part.
Sending you a nice warm breeze carp.
Thanks - appreciate it
Can anyone clue any of the ya words?
ya4/11 slang for talk. ya6/42 past tense.
Oh, duh, thanks, and I see the other one now as well.
You're welcome Monkey
I was on this morning before my toddler got up and stalled out at 32 words. It still seems slow going now, to me.
Howza bout the ge's? Anyone know what those look like?
ge4 - ge + pi** a pe** of pi**led peppers
ge6 is the past tense of ge4
Thanks! Never seen it before.
gi4/7 as in t*** your shoe laces
Me neither, by the def it is probably where geek came from
Highly probably now that you mention it! Wonder if it's also related to the Dutch, gek, which means crazy.
That is the one gi I do have, Frances, but thank you very much.
My great aunt's name was Frances.
Anyway I'm away, you would love the video MonkeyG. Bye all
What video? OK, bye Lynxxx!
Morning all Frances it seems like ages since I've seen you in the log, how are you?
Hi again FMitch!
Hi Monkey Taking 5 mins sit down time
Hi FM. Not too bad thanks. Much happier now that the good weather is here for my cricket........and you?
Got to go pour a glass of milk for the "neally tursty boy". BRB.
LOL I htought of youthe other day when a friend said something about summer and cricket starting off again. Doing fine thanks and loving this weather.
Do your ealise that we will be celebrating 3 years of babble this August??
OK, back.
Had fun scoring on Saturday when my laptop over-heated and gave runs to all sorts of odd people!
Anyone know what this video is that Lynxxx referred to?
Doesn't time fly when you're having fun FM?
*realise. The one that is shown in licketys expert version Monkey
Monkey it is the fireworks video. River dance monkeys.
Ah. Any way I can access it? Been meaning to go the expert route but haven't yet.
Oh, fireworjks videos are for people who can afford to go pro, right? SO if I was expert but not pro I'd still be outta luck, right?
Oh well.
LOL thats for sure Frances. likletys has a link from his site below to the vids but it's not totally up to date
Monkey http://tinyurl.com/2evynq
Thanks! Going to look now.
I don't have expert Monkey
Im just preparing the last bulletin of the season for a football league and there you are starting out at the beginning of the cricket season. Sporting continuity!
Oh, now that IS funny! Except they're chimps, but I'm a pedant. I'll forweard that to my husband at work now.
OK, sorry to be such a pain, but can someone clue the ei?
ei4/5 the fluffy duck minus the last letter
Dang, I'd have sworn I tried that! Thanks!
Woohoo, Walter has figured out how to play a higher level numbers game on his laptop!

LOL
I must away again. Happy Babbling.
Bye!
Bye FM. Have a great day.
wow, we do seem to be having the extreme ends of the spectrums for grids... GM babblers
Yup, but it's kind of a pain. Hi there!
good day, kje
hi kje
too bad then, I was hoping to polish it off before work : ) - hi BR, Monkey, Frances...
Yippee, Walter has extrapolated the numbers game rules to the same game with letters! That's my boy.
Can anyone clue the re6 and the re4 that comes before the stinky one?
re 6 is the past tense of the 4
Nasty thing that happen to a ship minus the w
Thanks. Now will be done with the re's if I can get the one 4 that comes before the stinky one.
Already had the ship crash but not the past tense, you see.
then there is the stick things that are seen in shallow wanter
Type of grass used for thatching
OOHHHH! I am SO blind today! Thanks, everyone.

Really having trouble with the de6's, myself. Any tips?
ok im off. have a good day
Yes, lady, I came downstairs and looked for Callie, then remembered she is gone. It will take a while for this to settle in.
13 down for me---let's move it, Luc.
I'm so sorry Scrabbler.
see you herin.... keep well
bye herin
:( I too will miss Callie stories
hey there scrabs - go go go !
Oh, bye Herin!

Scrabbler, I am sorry for the loss of your furry, hoppy friend. You were a great mommy to her and she knows it.
enjoy the day Lady !
uh oh...Callie R.I.P.?
sorry scrabbler :-(
Scrabbler, now i know how Walter felt a few weeks ago-- I had a tetanus shot and a DPK shot Saturday. Stabbed my foot on a skewer sticking out of a trash bag.
jean...have you heard from your son?????
And thanks babrab!
yes, I almost sh** when I opened the internet yesterday
Yes, my dear Callie was euthanized on Saturday. It was time.
he is fine, but last semester, he was right where the epicenter is
Poor MG! Doing OK?
i thought about you a lot when i heard the news...
ty that's so sweet
I was getting calls from all over the place
good news!!! jeanius
on a lighter note, Kyle sent a group email letting evryone know he was all right, thanks for asking and those of you who didn't check in, I'm taking you off my distribution list unless you send me $25
looks awfol.
Yes, thanks, Scrabbler. It's just a dot now, hardly hurts (and teh shot sites are much better too...). They gave me prophylactic antibiotics which under the circumstances was probably a good idea.
awful tragedy there (back to the sadder note)
scrabbler, I'm sorry about Callie, but glad she had a very lovely life.
over 10,000 now and who knows how many more
lots of tragedy all over the world right now. Including here in the US
lol jean... so pleased ot hear all is well. Unfortunately that is only 60 cents Australian....
lol jean... so pleased ot hear all is well. Unfortunately that is only 60 cents Australian....
10,000 peopel
at least here in the US there is minimal loss of life, but tragic nontheless
CNN stated over 12,000 victims in China...
between the earthquake in China and the cyclone in Burma it has been a terrible week...
he has been getting messages from his former students telling him of the chaos
12,000 now? oy
they said the area was like from maine to arizona....
well, I gotta run see yall later
so lots of loss/ huge area.
phan, what has happened in the US?
yes, densely populated
yes 12,000 form CNN online...
Again, Babrab, thanks. I still could not find them... then finally realized I had been spelkling the de4 from the wrong D. Got 'em now.

Pretty odd, carlee.
ye 4 -- add one of the articles

one area is contained jandy, the other is ruled as arson and because we havent rain for so long its really destroying lots of homes, but people did get to leave, so they were able to take documents and stuff as well....I have not heard of any loss of life...
life scrabs... a certain someone is having great difficulty accepting the "new life"
rats..... in bed playing on my son's laptop and the battery is giving out... only 13 to go but I'd better say goodbye!
TY BR
Is he in counseling?
good god NO...we are the ones who need it..we the ones who have changed...
Bye jandy, I was just going to ask how you are feeling about surgery....
cya, Jandy
Bye Jandy!
bye Jandy !
that's something red, but it is still terrifying. we had fires here 5 years ago with 450 homes lost in a town of 300,000 people... huge trauma and social impact
Oh, Carlee....he needs an intervention! A doctor? A friend?
three weeks ago today red and I am doing brilliantly thankyou.... need to be careful with lifting but everything else is really good...
will never happen ....
seems to me the kids should be sent to school...
But his behavior is destroying family life.....like an alcoholic in denial, getting angry and hostile.
FOund the ac5, but can anyone clue the 7? Been looking for it off and on for 6 hours...
Sooo glad Jandy.
on one hand I agree luc..but on other...some "family time" just the 3 of us... its the ONLY time we ever get when were are not all on edge
Yippee for Jandy.
I agree with Scarabbler, carlee, but also understand why that might be difficult to arrange.
i feel for you dear (((kat)))
Carlee, personally I would probably keep the kids home and make a special day of it.
Yes, I would send kids to school, regularity, and they may have this idea that they are really staying home to take care of Mom.....
and now my hg is creeping up nicely and should continue to do so!
G'd morning Babblers! 12 words in half an hour, must be a small but weird grid.
hi Lori
and now i have to go, boo hoo.... take care everyone!
ac 7 extends the ac 4 with of short duration: br*e*l*
Hi lori...its a wierd grid. Bye jandy...
Hi Lori! The first half goes OK, then it screeches to a halt. I'm struggling badly to find my last 6.

a very good morning to all
hi Mom!
{{Annie}} good morning, so nice to see you
nice to see you too, Mom
he + sometimes vowel, + spelling for **ar John letter + sometimes vowel
G'd morning Mom! Long time no see
:), it has been a while.
{{Lori}} good morning, nice to see you again
YAY! that was it! thanks!! only my third time actually finishing.
I hope life's been treatin' ya' well Mom.
congratulations KLS
Congrats kls! Nicely done.
thanks guys!
couldnt have done it without help!
it has been okay. A few bumps (er potholes) in the road but ... life is like that
how is life with you, Lori?
Well, every day 'yer feet hit the floor is a good day Mom! I hope things smooth out for ya'.
{{Mom}} hope your path is smooth from now on
hello everyone
hi pab
Same rough spots here Mom. Life's never perfect, is it. :( G'd morning pab
it is a tough road for sure. They are widening the main highway from 2 to 5 lanes. Our home is off a side street but they need to take our home of 45 years because the highway will make us "landlocked", no way in and no way out. Now we must look for another house.
Thank you Lori and Annie for the kind thoughts. Lori, I wish you smooth roads as well
Hi Pab
Mom, that is terrible...
Oh Mom!!!!!!!! that just ain't right.
that is terrible Mom, I hope you find a wonderful new home
it has been a hard time. The hardest was having to tell my parents that they were taking the home where they raised us kids.
That's heartbreaking Mom. It truly is. ***biggest hug ever for Mom and family***
my parents are the original owners. I have no doubt at some point we will find a new house but it will be a terrible blow to our finances since the state wants to give us about $30,000 less than what another house will cost
Mom, your new home will be a wonderful new start..but it is not fair. Take lots of pictures of your home for the great memories you will have
{{Lori}} thank you for the hug
I do appreciate the kind words and the hugs.
can i get a clue for the 8
Hi Lynn, sorry I don't have it
gy + **ture walks + dis**t a frog in bio class + L**ve the party early
hi mom ty
Oh Mom I am so sorry - it is already so hard to decide to move and then to be FORCED by eminent domain is really hurtful - this is happening on my street - our house is not effected but many neighbors are - they are putting in an onramp for the interstate - can't wait to have THAT near my home
thank you Lori, don't think I would have ever monkeyed that one
ty
unless I leaned my elbow on the keyboard or something
oh Lexleeanne, that is terrible. Especially and on ramp.
LOLOLOL pab, my lack of typing ability has yielded me words by accident from time to time....
thanks lori, never would have gotten that one unless i fell asleep on my keyboard
What on earth is that? A latin gynocologist??
exactly my thought, Uni
an*
Hi Uni
Fortunately, I don't havta' know what it means. I can barely spell it...... G'd morning Uni
I looked it up...means part of a dwelling used by women
Lurking is hard when outraged...Mom, I had been reading about your home, and I am so sorry that you have no choice. Lori keeps telling me there is no way out, but I say you protest. Have a sit-in. Forever :)
thanks Annie! Now I know. :-)
oh, mom, I am soooo sorry about your home!!
what happened???
we had an independent appraiser come for his take on the value of the home and land and are waiting for that info to take to the "relocation agent" to appeal to the state.
thank you Une and Uni. We appreciate the thoughts, we truly do.
hi nutty and une!
mom, is eminent domain being evil again?
wb nut, G'd morning Une.
morning, annie :-)
{{Nutty}} we are losing our home to make way for a new highway. Yes, very evil, Nutty
hey, lori :-)
eminent domain is a bad thing indeed
and good morning to you
I agree
It's not right. I have stronger words for it, but we'd lose our family rating.....
do you have a day off today, Nut? Not use to seeing you this early
in a sense
probably nothing worse than what has been said or thought here
I hope all is well Nutty
all is is
:), I am glad
gotta scoot, older son just came in. {{Hugs}} to all of you. Thank you for the kind thoughts and words
}}Mom}} bye
Uni's idea may have some merit. We have a lot of butts as a collective Babble group. If we all arrive at Mom's for a sit in, we could cover a lot of buttage per square foot methinks, and draw attention to this wrong!
***big hugs again*** Take care Mom!
ca 5/14 please i cant find it
ca + p***n pie!
bye bye Annie and Lori {{hugs}}
thank you
thanks, lori!

Hi everyone, back from running. Very sleepy, but I have to go back to the gym for a training session in about 40 minutes. :( at least I found a swim suit that fits better than the one i am wearing...
hi red!
How are you Annie!!!! How is NYC?
NYC is chilly...not May weather at all
Oh sorry, you have permission to come see me. It is going to be in the 80's today. Not really May like either, but its very warm.
red, I would love to see you and be in Florida right now
come on down!
LOL, that would be very nice
I would like to add, for amusement, when I came in from running today I found it odd that the dog did nto greet me. I found him stuck int he bathtub, afraid to jump out. How/Why he decided to jump in there (no water in there) I have no idea.
Really Annie, weather is pretty nice, and I am currently close to Disney, but far enough away not to be bombarded with it.
poor Teulu...his adventure for the day..Liz, my daughter and her family spent Easter week at Disney, her kids loved it..no surprise there
red, have you visited Disney yet?
I've never been, but I have about 9 more weeks here, so theres always a chance I might loose my mind....
LOL
I was supposed to run race there last weekend, but I was not conditioned.
red, Liz is a runner too...has done mini-marathons...i think one day she will run the NYC marathon
So cool! I am really hoping to do well in my teeny Marathon, don't think I could handle the big crowd at an event like NYC....but my Dads friend ran it..
Some guy in Brooklyn was standing on one corner saying to all the flaggin runners, "Nobody dies on my Block, get going".... Very New Yorker...
errr. flagging.
red, sounds like Brooklyn encouragement
how is Teulu doing?
He's doing well, He did eventually get out of the tub, now asleep at my feet...seems fine, all ecept the tub, which actually is more like his normal personality..
red, I thought I read that Teulu was having a problem with his kidneys....hope all is well
that was a few days ago...was away
He gets labs rechecked in a week or so to be sure he wasnt just very dehydrated from heat. Yes, he is supposed to be having a Kidney issue...
Thank you for remembering...
ah, the heat...was will get you in Florida...I am sure he will be fine
I am hoping so...he is much better behaved than usual, but I t hink he was a little concerned about the tub...too funny to see him peeking out from beind the shower curtain...
dont think Teulu will go near the bathroom for a while, poor thing
good morning babblers

ooohhh de5: rhymes with Elizabeth re***s over England

I've been silently observing. ge4/11 can be made past tense/descriptive. gi4/7 - Scots distribution in the past tense. Prepare for gy8.....
by8/65 - five letters indicating a female branch of medicine, last three letters are mixed up unreturnable tennis serve or a high scoring card.

super - phantom - recycle
ac7 - to make/become ac4
I am trying to find the DE 5/16 and can't. Any clues?
I lurked, and now I have to go get lunch. Happy babbling!
de5/16 rhymes with what a king does over a kingdom
can someone clarigy ac7
clarify
take the last letters of the word you just said and add it to the ac4 above it? ;)
nice
Thanks ice
and done! thnx for the clue, Lex
now about that de7 ....
what is the 8??
de7: what bad teeth did.
doh! pull out the fish
trout or salmon
trout ... salmon would be a waste
gy 8= first 3 ltrs of female dr. + 1st 2 vowels + mostly round ltr + 1st vowels in reverse
need 3 more g words - only have rhyme with spy(past tense)
thx phandmd!
thanks PHAN what a word!!!!
the first 2 ge words rhym with 2 DE words, a full de* of cards
greyed G - THanks to Phan
your welcome. Over and out now have a great day
31 left. Monkeying and kurking clues rules today. But I'm happy because today there's not so many plurals and past tenses.
help with some c's??
well, I have a few mins. What do you need?
only have - rhyme with lemon*** and triple vowel double c
how many are there today? I'm stuck at 36.
67
well, one of the CA 4/6's is an anagram of that one and the other one sounds the same as the one you have (at least I think I have that right)
ty
then there are 3 CE 2 4's and 1 5
*gets confoosled*
not helping - nurse me along
please
with
a
sugary
cherry
on
the
top
the 1st CA 4 rhymes with lemon a*
2nd one has a diff vowel ending
I'll add some more sugar and a cherry =D
then the last one sounds the same as the 1st one
ce + favorite english princess
ce + do * mi
and past tense
okay lost at same sound as "lemon juice" and english princess
thanks for the nursing
she died some time ago
first a*
got the first a - thank you
gotta run now, hope you are good
thanks phan
princess - any one?
now that cs are done... back to a... whew
William and Harrys mum
uh... the one that died in the car wreck
how is that a ce
CE + that
don't use the whole name - just the short one
Okay finally got it
dumb
do i need to hand the fish back?
no - not dumb, lex, just proper :)
if you must hand the fish back I can take it
is that word a fish? Seems awfully rare to me
I dont 'must' but if you feel the urge...
De-s and re-s are so frustrating...
no krise... not the word itself ... just the extra nursing the clue
I didnt know it was a word prior to 15 mins ago or so *shrug*
i agree ajv
good day all!

man, just saw pictures + videos of the flooding in the town where I grew up (and my brother + his family still live) it was as high as 5 feet in some places! *whew!*
I had figured the first 4 before asking for clue but the rest was a mystery
is your family ok Eva?
only my 9th time finishing without lickety's (or BJ's) - was possible "With a little help from my friends"
congrats montreal!
are they allright Eva ?
thankfully, yes. theyre fine + their home is fine... unfortunately, they have been working on flipping an investment house for quite some time + theyre pretty sure there will be damage there, as the road to the house is still closed due to flooding...
hats off to you mont ! Have never accomplished that feat!
11 left...
thank you kathryn and pugmama !
just noticed you have been using my name - so guess I can call you luc now? - LOL
some of the main highways in the area were closed for flooding, so i cant even imagine how bad some of the side + back roads are!
Must get on with some chores(yuck) back later to clue & chat.Happy Babbling & fireworks to all beloved Babble clan!
of course kje ...lol
bye bug!!! see you tomorrow
Hey,Luc. How was vacation?

WOOHO for MARILYN!!!!!
greetings all - popping in for my last 15; just came home from tennis and a champagne lunch - isn't life grand? :)
kje, how many left? :)
done asgreen - much earlier - working on computer and have babble chat up on second monitor : )
good for you kje - this is an interesting one, no?
very jealous!!! champagne lunch?
yes - weird words, but most are monkeyable... plus BR was on earlier throwing out some good clues for the biggies
yeah, end of indoor tennis lunch for the 6 of us who play together - I brought the champagne!
very fun - I use to play tennis, but let it go when I got busy. Today in physical therapy (ankle injury) the therapist let me play Wii Tennis - it was a hoot
lol - I've played wii and then came on the court and started in with "watch out girls, I've been playing the wii"!
so a little tipsy for babble this afternoon?
words seem to be flowing! :) 10 left
a little alcohol does loosen the imagination - which helps with todays grid : )
OK - this is weird - just after typing that I turned back to my literature review on the other monitor - next article - "Moderate alcohol consumption in older adults is associated with better cognition and well-being than abstinence" -- appropriate, no?
absolutely! perfect!! :)
I'm 40, that's "older", right? lol
not older than me.... but neither of us would have qualified for this study - LOL
since I am a non drinker - that answers a lot of questions - what does it say about drugs??
stalling out at 9 left....
according to darth and my niece/nephew, 40 is ancient! (I'm 44, so I knew Moses!)
nothing, lexi - the study looked at alcohol consumption.... why, are you using?
(darn blasted kids!)
thanks for that downer, Dan!!!
lol dan - hi!
8 left...maybe I should pour myself a drink! :)
ok back .. actually had to do some work here at work...
I am a non drinker too lexlee...don't feel left out.
LOL - can't hurt, might help
me too dan - 44 and ancient - although my High Schoolers are shocked to hear that I have a 23 year old
hi ice.
well - I COULD be a user - but if I reveal it I have to seal it
wow lexi! I'm a little shocked... that means I could have a 23 year old - aaaagggghhh!

Hi babblers any clues for de6 ;-)
norma: past tense the porch word
de 6 - PT of previous 4...and maker of previous 4
h4/6 - have listen and obay
and also the person who puts the porch up?
Norma -- there are two -- one is past tense of de4 and the other is the red bus in London is a double ******
*obey
Thanx every one how did I miss those ??? lol
great clues, fruittart!
okay now me - now me
any ac clues?
am I the only one who is stumped by the AC words? would someone clue the second ac 4/6 please?
Great Clues from everyone Thanx again
ac - getting a great test grade - I ac** it
whoot, i may be making a training field trip... now do I want to go to boston or pensacola, fl. hmmm...
from chemistry -- ac** and bases and then to make a solution more so is to ac*****
what time of year are you going icepyro?
ac4 bad liquid that eats through metal
if august, avoid boston at any cost!
oh! thanks for the other AC 4
july or august
... ok why?
he4/6???
that gave me the 7...
need also many re's
late summer on the eastern seaboard is hot, sticky (read 90% humidity) and awful. Go to florida where the breezes will keep you comfortable(r).
the ac 5 is an adjective using the same root
he4/6 .. one says I should he4 stidmamas warning.. the other is a group of animals...
stid... Im from atl... trust me.. I know about humidity
fish for the group of animals'
*hands lex the trout he was using*
that's the ac 5/18; the ac 5/20 is a stooopid word, sounds like you are sick :P
okay I'm ready for a halibut
r6 anyone??
Oh, then you know what it is like. I have been through new england in late summer as a child (not fun).
ac 5/20 - ac + leg joint minus the n - it is a jamaican fruit
but as a child in Puerto Rico I don't recall ever being completely uncomfortable, just hot. which is why I recommend florida.
r6 -- like what a tornado does to a house, drop the w at the beginning
1 left - I AM SHOCKED - thank you friut
why am I stoopid today? AC 6 please?
go lexleeanne go!
pensacola is not as breezy as the eastern part of the state
previous ac + 2 vowels
stid... I had to look up several 4 letter words... its a stoopid grid it seems
oh -- pensacola, hm? not sure then. Never been there, just the gulf midway up and the orlando area.
thanks kje... *Thinking*
its on the gulf.. I wouldnt mind seeing boston, but florida is also close enough I could get family to visit
got it. stoopid word for a stoopid grid.
we just got back from a week in Destin, just east of Pensacola. It's really hot there in mid summer
what is all this bitching about all of a sudden?!?!
see, this is one reason I LOVE babble! you get to hear about places from people who really know about it.
so it kinda comes down to tourism or nothign to do so might as well study what Im supposed to be
well kje, my opinion of a grid varies in proportion to my frustration. And probably has little basis in reality at any given moment...
LOL stid -
not much of my comments ever have a basis in the reality most people share :)
re4/6????
rofl
down to 9 though
This might be a stupid question but how do you guys know how many points each word is worth when you ask for clues?
re 4/6 - color with double consonant at end
down to five....so frustrating!!!
peg - theres a link in the friends of babble for Lickety's babble clues
FIREWORKS - and I get to see them because I'm not a grey head
Thank you all
YAY lexlee (and I did notice the promotion... when did it happen?)
woohoo for lexi - basking in the glow of her now visible fireworks!!!
hello peg, and welcome
actually the first 2 weeks of trying babble you can still see fireworks ;P...
and wtg!!
is it me, or is the fy 4/13 really well hidden? *awaiting shipment of fish*
fy + my first and last initial : )
oh dear... that looks somewhat obscene, doesn't it? thanks kje
stid - on Monday - after I got angry with Hubby in TX
passive aggressive action!
Kinda like that movie - the more emotion the more color - what was it called???
LOL well done, lexleeanne... my mother did something similar one year. bought me LOADS of stuff for my bday because my dad had done something she didn't like.
I need help on the 8 and the he 6 please.
stid - try spiKing those fish
those are my last two. and I just can't see them.
8= gy
yes, gy 8... and then 6 more letters that evade me. like minnows in a net for salmon.
gy women medicine (first and second vowels) curved letter then second and first vowel
don't forget the constanant that makes it women's med
he6 -- sounds like dried grass for cows + the time when the sun is up but with different vowels; means the prime of something
wow. thanks! I would not have monkeyed that one.
thanks fruittart *thinking*
thanks for the he 6 - I needed that - hi everyone, just coming back for my last 4!!
he6 - charlie Chaplin was popular in his He*****
many interruptions here . . . still 6 to go . . .
oh! golly gee... thanks again! we have incendiaries!
hi, stid, scrolling back I see you said you lived in Puerto Rico - whereabouts ? we go there often
and... step-dancing monkeys????
get the 8 everyone??
I can actually help for a minute now
we were at Ramey AFB just north of ?aguadilla? I think... hold on, need a map. it's the north west corner of the island, anyway.
yes, I see it's now called "maleza baja", north of the little village of borinquen where my mother used to buy fabrics to make me dresses.
cant get the he6
Hello - very informal - and 24 hour period spelled with a different vowel
byfor now
I know where it is - did you go to the DOD school there? we have friends that worked at Buchanan -
peg: a way of saying "hello" is he* + susan *** (played the keyboards in the partridge family)
yes, I did. Kgarten and first grade. Used to climb a huge mimosa tree in the schoolyard... LOL
what a nice name for a town in PR - Borinquen! never heard of your little town - we usually hang out on the east coast
ironically I work with someone named susan *** altho spelling is like the 24 hr period
it was wonderful. Except the hibiscus. I am frightfully allergic to it, and it was huge hedges between all the houses!
yeah I have typed it several ways and it says its not in the dictionary..but I understand the clue
yes, the east coast is where all the tourists are, I think.
peg: the he 6 uses the 3pt letter twice...
well, tourists and people like us who are not tourists but have family and friends there....
well -- it's the population center, after all! LOL and we used to go regularly to San Juan. I still remember (almost 40 years later) what the dungeon in el morro smelled like...
does anyone have a clue for the re 4/6 (after the re 6 and before the water plant)???
but the BEST beaches are away from San Juan. Little isolated stretches that are back on sandy roads.
gotcha thanks
re 4/6: color, double last letter
and for surfers, the best waves are on the west coast -
sounds like you haven't been back, stid - is that true?
thanks for the re 4!
No, never have, JBV. Have missed it all this time, too. Except the hibiscus.
I am now one word away from fireworks -
And the cockroaches. I can live without cucarachas!
go JBV go!
got it!! thanks for your help!
I have to admit though, I no longer understand puerto rican spoken at normal tempo...
YAY JBV?
stid, it's not too late to plan your next vacation - so many new and beautiful things to see there - and if you have children, a lot of history and culture to absorb
well my friends, I must go get ready for that horrid place called work! See ya later tonight maybe..
yes, i'm seeing fireworks and thanks again
have a good day Lulu!
YAY JBV!!!!
how old are you guys?
I would love to go, JBV, but in 18 years of marriage, we have only had one real vacation with the kids... no money most years.
thanks :-D (and I am 28) bye for now
well peg, many of us have our ages in our profiles. you can see them by clicking on the icons.
Someday though, I will go back. AND take the kids if I can, even if they are in their thirties!!!
I hope so, stid - or they can take you! that would be a treat!
yes, it would be a treat.
sorry I am new to this whole game and how things work
My husband has a lot of family there, so when we go we usually spend a few days in hotel, then the rest of the time in people's house, so it is a little more economical
do you ever go up in the mountains near arecibo? I remember the observatory, how big it was next to my family's VW bug... and the little houses in the forest, the children running around barefoot with chickens and goats around them. So different from my experiences, but the children never looked sad.
it's okay peg -- ask away. And if you want a lot of good info, angelsong's pages are great. http://www.freewebs.com/angelsong/
hi everyone, and welcome peg23.
I am sure things have changed a lot since then though.
hello mo!
yes, the observatory is a major attraction, they have upgraded the visitor center - it's great! and there are still children running barefoot, of course, but it's part of the rural way of life
Yes, when we visit Jill in Canada or my grandfather in Ashland Oregon, we tend to stay with them. It's the only way we can afford it.
LOL arecibo has a visitor's center? way cool!
Life in the cities is very Americanized - evidence of chain stores, strip malls, not all the good signs of "development"
That is too bad. But it is happening everywhere these days. I am always sad when I visit So. California to see how little of each community's character remains.
since it's a tiny island, every "development" is built at the cost of the natural beauty and environmental balance that is in danger
who said chain stores and strip malls were good signs? one of the few things I like about hwere I live now is walmart is one of the few chain stores and the strip mall is suffering in business
I think you misunderstood me, icepyro, or I wasn't clear - I meant that what we are seeing in PR are the signs of the bad effects of development
no one said the were good signs. I have read that PR struggles with controlling the waste from this lifestyle of excess... it's very sad.
hi, all. another small grid today.
I think it's happening everywhere as you said, but in a very small and isolated place - like an island - the effects are much more pronounced
oh I got ya... i was just commenting that that form of development is bad no matter where you are imo
hello Angel, yes small but tricky (well i thought so!!!)
can someone help me with the 7 words
yeah we have a case of fish for all the tricky little words you should have gotten lol
hi angelsong! I am glad you showed up before I headed out.
de7: rotted
hi, Stid!
And I see I have again frittered away (or is it pancaked? or waffled?) much of the day... so I shall depart for the moment. Back tomorrow sometime if I can. Be well everyone! *poof*
bye stid
okay i have that one
okay i have that one

dy 5 26 pt of sounds of what a boy put his Dutch finger in

YIPPEE for Jeanne!!!
My pic reminds me of when I was young and starting adulthood...the whole world was my oyster...and I've had several dozen by now, folks! Life is grand!
gy8 is lating plural of women's issues, and endliing like the word for a remedy or cure-all
ending is anagram of high-point card in poker
gy 8 -- add back of the neck: **p* and pacific o***n
from BR earlier...
im new to this, can somean?meone please explain what your clues mean....ex. gy8...wat does that
better clue!
gy 8 means an 8-letter word starting with gy.
thank you
cks - using Lickety or another source, we know what the second letter is and how many letters there are
I'm having a math problem...
I see the women's thing -- ****cology
Well, thanks to all of you. I gotta get back to working on a transcript (I help court reporters...if you know any such person who needs help, look for me next time on the grid! Cheers, gang!
But the poker part, and the middle of the "pond" come out to 7 letters.
Bye jeanne - thanks
add the ladder vowel and then look for the ending that has the "S" sound, and it rhymes with "wheeee!"
bye jeanne

Hahahahahahaha
we ignored the not-so-nice alternate meaning of the 11 pointer ;)
this place always keeps me laughing and smiling!! well the people in it do anyhow!! LOL
we did too tyger
you crack me up lindy!
ditto kje
it helps us get through the less pleasant parts of life
yes tyger - we are ignoring impolite babble words : )
this place does :)
although tyger I think it is a not so nice term rather than meaning!!! LOL
whatever, lindy. still stressing over son
now I think, you're right
oh tyger hadn't heard you were stressing!
((((((tyger))))))))))
why?
spent nearly 6 hours @ emergency yesterday with David & his back
thx, lindy - I can use that
everyone OK?
OMG is he ok?
not really, but a bit better than yesterday
injured his back on the job a week before (Amer) Thanksgiving
but he will be ok right?
chronc back pain, or an acute injury?
If he loses a LOT of weight - neurosurgeon told him this morning he wasn't a good candidate for surgery
kje - see 5:13
thank you all for helping
so sorry to hear that (((tyger)))
oh dear, how old is he tyger?
yvw peg23
chair collapsed under him, pieces poked up into his back. he couldn't move afterward for a while
yw, peg
he's 43
oh that is terrible
same as me next month then tyger!!
yup, and he's basically lost his job now. He didn't get a lawyer until he got notice from job they weren't going to hold his position open any longer
he LOVED that job - as a phlebotomist
sending good vibes to (((((tyger & son)))))))
is it just me or is this grid like mentally wading through treacle?
we all react differently to any given grid, jaz. I found this one easy
and it happend at work?? is that legal cos it isn't here?
ed 5/22
thx, lindy
small and tricky jaz
this is Mississippi - very weak labor laws
all I can say is 'bummer'!!
that's what i was thinkin' lin
LOL jaz
ed5: build up emotionally/spiritually
yup, lindy
it is always so much easier when it happens to yourself rather than your kids, whatever age!!
peg - ed5 has same root as ed4
oh, yes, lindy
I had my low back injury when I was 15, tho
yeah you have had it very rough too tyger
mine was at L4/5. His is at L5/S1
he 6 please anyone?
there are lotsa people who've had it far worse, lindy
still lost on that clue
he6: alternate spelling of compound word for time of popularity

lou - think it through, slowly :)
ahh....got it now! duh!!
:D
o how did i miss that, Tyger
dunno, jeffer :)
ty
cos this grid sends you googly ey** jeffer!!
probably the same way i'm still missing it jeff; if i think any more slowly my brain will fall out
like I said ... this one went easily for me - unlike some other grids. I only had to go to lists for ONE word .... unlike many other grids
oh just got it
aahh jaz now i know what happened to me!!! LOL
pt of de5 for de7 :D
yep it took forever to see that one too, Lindrickway
LOL jeffer
woo hoo...fireworks
we all think differently; the human brain is the most complex thing known to science, so it shouldn't be surprising that we each react differently to any given grid
WTG lou
yay, lou!
too true tyger!
I was just bemoaning to myself this morning how much my brain has lost with aging, injury, etc., over the years
that's true tyg, but i often leave the grid thinking, "gee i'm cute, but i'm not bright"
LOLOL, jaz
LOL jaz, unfortunately I can't say either!! LOL
after all, I'm the age McCartney wrote about back in the 60s, and have had a lot of "wear & tear" over the years
you know, if the brain were simple enough for us to understand it, we'd be too stupid to
EXCELLENT point, dan!
LOL hi dan
lol you're hurting my head dan!
and each & every brain wires itself in the process of development
so i can blame my parents for struggling with the grid for not developing me properly?
I'm just drowning mine in beer so it will function better!! LOL
intelligence is what scientists call an "emergent property"
on, jaz; sorry :P
if that works for you jaz LOL!!
on the home straight.. ac6/24 pl?
love playing the blame game on a cold and frosty morning
oops, I meant to say "no" :) can't type anymore, it seems

even a firetruck was destroyed by the fire..collapsing hydro lines...
when a big fire happens..we send trucks to border on stand by...but today we sent a truck
( on stand by incase another fire happens elsewhere and they need a truck....port huron does same for here)
oh all those sexy firefighters!!
wow firetruck destroyed
hope no sexy firefighters were hurt!!
cool agreement
yeap..is... I was actually by the firehall that went over when happened..i heard them go...wondered where...
not sure we have any "sexy" firefighters here...
oh most firefighters are sexy due to the dangerous nature of the job!!
if one ever needs to save me i will consider them sexy whatever!! LOL

Jilli, I am thinking of you and Susie... (((HUGS)))
tut tut ak fancy being fresh with jilli, how could you!!!
i don't have firefox
i don;t know lind i just open my mouth and out things come .... can't help myself
ak, I have tinyURL in my taskbar, but looked in Tools (Firefox) and it's not there
oh i know that feeling ak!
if u do a search for wxyz detroit... and look through headlines u'll see a link to the stuff about the fire
carlee, you don't need Firefox -- just go to tinyURL.com

jilli - makes me doubly sad - seeing the pic of susie - she looks VERY much like my kitty Biscuit
Then I will try not to remind you of it... I have an acquaintance who says she has a cat-sized hole in her heart. Mine is dog-sized...
kitty condoloences to you Jilli. you gave susie a great gift, peacs and comfort
we should celebrate the life not mourn the death!

oooh, lath!
yucky work hshliz!
eeeuuuu hard work there hshliz
what a mess !!!!
he 6 please
I've got dust in places.....oh....never mind
how cool hshliz!!!
having renovated 2 houses i feel for you!!
the house I lived in while in B-more was built in the early 1800s
love the character in those old houses!
our house in Hudson Quebec was built in 1850
it washes off (and out) hshliz
he 6 he* mon & sounds like mon*** or tues*** but different vowel!!
nothings square....or plumb....or electrically sound
anyone have the ac6 ??
lol
ours is a foreclosure and they smoked like CRAZY for years...nasty
at least part of it was...
oh those are baby houses around here they started in 1620
ac 6 is an extention of ac4
and i was wondering: when is the name dalek-themed icon day? LOL
all my windows were slightly different sizes hshliz - but loved it!
name=next (OY)
hey i come from england where old houses date back to the 1200's!! LOL
I'm a little farther "inland" to have the baby houses
right, lindy
LOL jilli
ho, i monkeyed it! TY lind!!!
we do have a church from the 1700's tho....trying to turn the indians Episcopal?
my present house dates all the way back to 1995, lol
and that be me fireworkses!
LOL jilli
mine iss 1930s
yvw gwen
YEA BOOK!!!
pretty new then kje!!
WTG BDG
YAY gwen!!!
i grew up in a house that was built on a hill we used to be able to put a ball in one room and watch it roll into the other all by itself
LOL ak
i just looked up what the gy8 means. what a very silly word indeed. (!)
well lindy - in the 1200s here in TX - I think all they had were teepees
would love to get through a day where I didn't have to replace a fuse when running the tools to take out the walls to replace the electric.....
aknitter, built by the same people who chopped down the first trees?
LOL kje are there any left?
yeah and lots of sunshine too kje!! LOL
AK - I can do that in my rooms now... my dresser is sitting on a 2x4 on its back legs so that it is even with the front ones
oh i think so gwen my brothers used to race cars from the kitchen to the living room
and leveling a washer is a real pain !!!
always make good use of an inclined house, i say LOL
it was a great old house we had secret rooms behind the wall panels and a bannister to slide down in a spiral
LOL kje, I used to have a big vitorian 5 bed house, my 4 bed brand new det was much easier to furnish with straight walls etc, now i am in a 25 year old house with straight walls etc too
have a relative who owns a "mansion" that has hidden servant quarters and is believed to have been part of the underground railroad
cool AK! a kid's dream
a big brothers dream, hide in the secret rooms, jump out and scare the little sister
BRB
hidden rooms are way cool
need another mojito
big sis always did the scaring after dark too. My little brother refused to sleep there awhile
i once knew a guy who had a hidden tunnel to the house next door, which was owned by relatives
to this day i will not go into the cellar alone for fear of brothers jumping out at me
oh i always wanted big brother ak now i think having big sisters was not so bad!! LOL
we had a hidden tunnel too went out behind the house and into the next street over we were not allowed in there though it was unsafe
a lot of the homes in that area have water lines that run from one house to another even if the owners aren't related
hmmm considering postage to canada
I have big sis's and big bro's and little sis's and little bro's - so got to be on the terrified end and the terrifier end
the first house i live in as a kid, well that i remember the cellars where all connected and you could walk down the whold street in the cellars
I am the oldest...did most of the scaring
postage to canada??????
now THAT is creepy lindy
me not good at scaring people. but i have some friends who make it their job on Halloween to scare the trick-or-treaters. Fun!
that is way cool lindy - wow
spelling is creepy kje don't know about story!!
knit, you can get postage info at usps.com
my present house used to supply all the water to the neighborhood. there is a giant submarine sized holding tank under my house for water. over the years we have eventually disconnected everyone and they drilled there own wells
you better trust your neighbors, I guess
i think they need to trust us!! 4 girls creeping round the cellars!!
lol gwen i was thinking of mailing oloder brother to lindy since she was wishing for one
aaahhh how kind ak, but i think you can keep him unless he is very sexy!!
is he sexy ak??
gag
Lindy - you are a married woman!!! if he is sexy, send him here ; )
"little brother" is single....anyone want a slightly used 40 yr old ?
lol ak

lol
very understanding hubby kje, keep your fingers off!! LOLOL
i am missing a D word... can't seem to figure out which one

Hard to think of my bro as sexy....but I've been told so

Best I can do of a pic of the little bro. Imagine my son 25 years older. The son in the military....
*sorry even LOL
indeed
green eyes here... though a dufus guy once went on and on about my gorgeous blue eyes - thought he was being romantic, but he was just WRONG!
LOL kje
but i had *nothing* to do with that song -- never even *met* the guy LOL
aaawww kje
ROFLMAO, kje, that is just a scream!
let's see it hshliz
mine are hazel really!!
myspace link below
kje, he may have been just color blind.
mine are green - no brown...and NOT blue
i had a guy write a poem about my eyes once - said they were doey...i;m assuming not doughy
he was a player, book, and I saw through him (wink)
either color blind or not looking at your eyes?
LOL angela
my eyesight is so bad i can't tell what color poeple's eyes are, most of the time
LOL angela
kje, of course there is that LOL
aaawww BDG
time for some shuteye - see you all tomorrow
men can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!! LOL
I found this grid to be a bit of a strain... I took it in three doses.
bye angela!!!
night angela
i found it hardish too lady
I can live with 'em - and wouldn't want to live without 'em - LOL
i liked that great big easy one on sunday?
took the first dose at 1:30 a.m. when my husband cried out in his sleep "Honey, the dog is puking!"
hugs to jilli if she's still around
I liked it - challenging but not too long
*poof*
oh i love living with mine kje, he spent 14 months in the UK selling out other house, I just love him being here!!
I am the opposite lindy - like challenging and shorter over those marathons - they just wear me down
waking up both the dog and me - and, naturally, the dog determined he needed to go outside.
well i don't mind challenging but seen as i am off work i like long to keep me occupied
aaww lady
LOL lady - sorry for the dog - but funny your husband thought that was a need to know item in the middle of the night
he was dreaming, kje... didn't even realize he'd woken us up. In the morning, he said "I had a terrible dream..."
funny how hubbys can't take out pucking dogs isn't it!! LOL
LOL lady - did you punch him?
oh that is the other fun bit kje!!!
(clearly not meant literally - not endorsing domestic violence!)
and the dog was NOT puking... but once he heard the hubby cry, he decided he needed to go to the bathroom in the worst way
it scared the pee right out of him lady
men & dogs you just have to love 'em!!
you are so funny kje!! LOL
so there I was, up and awake at 1:30 a.m. (LOL, kje) I knew I had no hope of falling asleep right away, so I babbled
oh lady i can get up with the dog and go straight back to sleep!! LOL
yea babble!!! always right here 24/7!
my dog was up every 30 minutes to puke last friday and i still slept inbetween!!!
sometimes hubby will wake me in the middle of a deep sleep - "honey, can you scratch my back" ... I want to scratch, alright... scratch his eyes out.
i can do that in my sleep too!!
just roll him outta the bed lady!
i mean scratch his back not his eyes!!
LOL lindy
LOL kje i have a king size it is 7'2" wide there is no way i am waking up to roll him that far!!
i can roll round all night and never find him!! LOL
with you so small - why do you have a king size bed!!!
If I could fall back to sleep, I'd be fine - but I can't, not anymore. When I was younger, I could fall asleep in an instant.
kinky lindy - LOL
they had a special offer all size beds the same price so why not!!
oh you have found out my secret kje!! LOL
I'm the same way Lady - it makes being on call hellish
no doubt, kje.
had to sign a waiver before they would take it up to the top floor though!!!
kje are you a dr?
yes
All this talk of sleep has made me realize how tired I am (I know, I started it). I'd better get working on the feature article I'm supposed to have done today before I fade away completely.
a gp?
hi everyone!
geriatrician
I don't know how you do it, kje... I would not get any sleep the nights I would be on call...

Pam - I just hope I don't get woken up!
sorry just remembering what a geri whatsit was!!!

hi lind, hi Pam

oh i have finished the grid can I say a word anyway??
you can have some cake for finishing, Lind
only if you want chocolate cake Lindy
aaawww thanks dawg you are so kind
hey - I'm done too!!!!
i can only eat PB chocs cos they are not fattening!! LOL
recently kje?
it's hubby's birthday, the cake is from him. (yeah, like he's not going to miss it! lol)
oh cool thanks dawg & hb hubby!!
thanks dawg's hubby for sharing the cake!!!
how old is he dawg??
thanks for sharing, lbd
ancient, Lind! lol (58)
is he taking it well, dawg ; )
wow that is ancient!!! LOLOL
dawg how old are you?
bbs, these old teeth need some brushing...
soon pam
he is, KJE. neither of us are wrapped up in the age and numbers thing anymore. I'm 54
not old pam - just barely older than me
wow i thought you werein your 30's dawg!!!
good for you dawg - only way to be
isn't it funny how when you can't see someone you can't guess their age!!!
ahhh, thanks, Lind. 30 was a long time ago.
age is just a number it is true, we are as young as we want to be!!
no comment
well it's been fun, but i'm starving. gotta go cook some dinner. bye and *poof* !
bye book
you are young kje, if only at heart!! LOL
bye BDG
where is monkey?
hahahahahahahha
*kicking lindy*
i married hubby when i was 34, so the thirties were good years
bye Gwen
wow i married when i was 17 and hubby was 21
and so were the 40s....the 50s... : )
why kje are we boring you, that you need other company!! LOL
OMG Lindy! that was young!
:), you got that right, KJE
*OUCH*
no, wanted to tell her my good news
i was 17 and almost 2 months!!!
what's your good news, kje?
oooohhh what is your good news kje???
howcome you didn't want to tell us???
tell tell tell
everyone has such a healthy attitude towards those age numbers, LOL! I learned a lot when I worked in Assisted Living
nothing exciting, but she is a PT, so would "get" it - we remeasured my ROM in my ankle today in therapy and it is almost back to normal - woohoo
WOOHOO
yay for ROM, kje...
many people lose dorsiflexion after my type of injury
whoooo hoooo KJE!!! that's excellent news
how did you injure, kje
ok we are not all medical people but we understand normal!! even though some of us don't experience it!! LOL
my therapist said "damn I'm good"
lol
Pam, after a while, you just realize, there isn't much you can do about the numbers so...
damn your good, we all knew that!!
true, lbd...
lol lind,
and I said - "hey!!! I was the one putting up with your sadism!!!"
LOLkje
lol kje, yeah PT's have a really sick idea of what's good for us.
pam - one bad step on uneven ground - and pop, pop, pop - in 3 places
ugh, kje, that's how I "did" my knee... would have been better off, i am told, had I broken it....
I like that we meet without seeing each other or knowing how old we are, it makes me realize even more that people are just people, regardless of age, race, religion etc, I just love it
yes, lind. the internet really is an equalizer
pam - I did break it - that was bone pop, bone pop, bone pop....I'm assuming yours was ligaments?
you really see everyone for who they really are and not what they look like!!
*now wondering what lindy looks like*
then it is a real treat to see/meet them
my knee was the meniscus, then the bursa in my hip...i just love weather changes....NOT
*know she is SHORT!*
I am on your facebook kje you know what i look like TWONK!!
so sorry dawg - meniscal tears in the knee suck!
oh yeah! LOL
LOL
I forget since I don't actually have a face on facebook
but I do!!
kje is faceless!?!
yeah still waiting to see a pic kje
dawg I am really blown away!! i really thought you were 20's or 30's WOW!!
wait a sec...
when you said hubby was 58 i thought you had married older!!
yes, mine was ligamental, kje.. (is that a word?) I agree about weather, lbd.. I have birth defects in right side from hip down....
it must be all the young folks i hang around and work with, lind. they kinda rub off on ya

new bathroom, unfortunately right next to my office..ugh
in the new world of digital i guess people won't be able to write on the back!!
Ah! Just checked meaning of gy8 (dunno how I knew the word to put in in earlier, must be due to me studying Latin.) Anyway, it means (in Greek) the part of a house inhabited by women.
ugh!!! ruru

yup took it in feburary
they didn't highlight anything usefull in my parents manual jac!! LOL
wow you look way too young fran!! I am beginning to hate you already!!! LOL
put some weight on and you too can look young
IS there a parents' manual that tells the truth, Lindrick? I doubt it!
I just lost 64lbs LOL bummer
no jac or i wouldn't have had any i am sure!!
my fav bridge in england is the prince albert
also wouldn't get rid now i have them especially since they are grown now!! LOL
Nor would anyone, Lind. LOL
or is it just called the albert bridge
nice fran but not a patch on tower bridge fran!!
or maybe i have the wrong name LOL its the one as you leave london going west
LOLjac
EEK! A Prince Albert in UK was once a bridge, then a watch chain and now it's a piercing in a very intimate male place.
yeah fran it is west london
LOL
oh what about prince albert in a can??
calling the tobcainst to ask if they have prince albert in a can and then saying YOU BETTER LET HIM OUT
no don't let him out for goodness sake fran!!
My aunt and uncle work in the health service and tell me very funny tales about peoplle in casualty who have things stuck where they shoould not normally be even near, let alone stuck. I've yet to hear about a Prince Albert stuck to some female piercing or other.
it is the albert bridge not prince!! you are correct!
LOL
eeeeuuuuu jac wouldn't let it anywhere near me!! LOL
hahaha
wasn't it prince albert that they couldn't disprove was jack the ripper???!!
OK i have to go finish washing my kitchen floor
I have such a glamours life
eeeuuu now that is bad fran!! LOL
really!? jack the ripper / price albert yikes
i should wear a tiara !
no proof fran but couldnt' disprove it apparently
blows kisses . thanks for the mental help!
Oh dear! The Generation Gap strikes again. This time it's against All The Young Dudes from the 70s. And maybe even some of those from the 80s. LOL
later fran!!
what what jac i love 70's
i have underware older then some of these kids!
:-0
x's
hey i like all the young dudes
i think i prefer most 60's & 70's music over the 80's
what is it jac??
No, I don't think the (then) Prince of Wales was thhe Ripper. I do think he may have inadvertently caused the 2nd and further Ripper killings, though.
well the docs i have watched can't disproove it jac
*disprove
they also can't prove it!!
but what was the generation comment about, i didn't understand it jac?????
http://tinyurl.com/36g7jw

Incidentally, my last word added was ye4/10 which rhymes with a bad man who is a je**.
I like mott the hoople!!
LOL
so min how long did the grid take you today?
how long did it take you jac?
hi everyone back to finish up :)
hi carra wb
how many do you have left?
Ian Hunter, lead singer of of Mott, did not conect with rest of the band. They were Northern lads and he was a Cockney Pretender Southerner. LOL. It's not just the Uniteed States that practices this kind of prejudice.
LOL jac
The grid took me about 1 hour to do, Lindrick.
hi lindrick and jac
cool with chat is took me about 90 mins!!i am getting a bit faster!!
Ok folks, I'm off to play wordtiwist & then go to bed.
hello everyone!
night min
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
hi elsh
Poor Ian was subject to treble prejudice - he was a pretend Cockney, he didn't come from the right area and he was far more clever than he rest of them. They didn't like that.
happens a lot jac
David Bowie saw through that though, and, on thw strength of hearing Ian's vocals on tape, gave them his song, Al The Young Dudes. The rest is history, as they say.
they sure do!!
evening all :-D

Lind - Elise is the daughter of my step-son from a previous marriage, not my current
elise is beautiful autumn and so are your step son and wife!!
i was just looking at the pics, they look very much in love!!
It's funny, he doesn't talk to his dad anymore (it's been 13 years) but he talks to me....go figure that one out.
my middle name is frances!!
kids are funny things!! LOL
it is very sad really, I don't get on with my parents but figure they did the best they could so what the hell!!
Here's one better.....he has his mother's last name, not his father's but my current hubby's last name is the same.
wow that is uncanny
He hasn't talked to his dad since we split.
that is very sad, when he has passed he will regret it i am sure!!
okay. I still have 24.....
go autumn go
well i am going to go to bed so if no one needs any clues?
ni-night lind. I'll try without clues.
night autumn!
Hi -- I'm back and can clue, I think :)
Well, no takers so will look for teddy boys (next icon theme)
What's a teddy boy?
google it, autumn -- a UK fad in the 50s, opposite of punks or something
about to post mine...
wow. Just made it. That's fireworks for me!
YAY autumn!!! Well done!
clues for the 2 de6es?
you might have one as a back porch
and it's what you did to the halls with boughs of holly
thanks jeanne, what about the other one
don't worry - just worked out its the person who mucks about with the boughs
good evening, everyone :)
hello nan
glad you got 'em, Jaz!
hi nan jilli all
That's it for me. Well past bedtime. ni-night all.
night autumn -- but refresh and check out the teddy boys in my bio
thanks jeanne; i'm going blind and stupid
I finished this grid in the afternoon, but I am excited to be staying u p again for my second flip!
sleep well, autumn!
HEY Jilli, I am 32 miles from Hortontown, NY just looked it up, never heard of it though !
hi jeanne
hello, cybernan!
yesterday, my optometrist diagnosed me with an acute attack of stupidity after i unknowingly switched contact lenses and staggered round the place in a bewildered haze
hi, too, jili!
renewed my drivers license today -- Only $17.00 -- I guess that's one way it pays to turn 65!
is this where the nightowls and dazed contact lense switchers hang out?
That's cool Jilli. I was going to send in a suggestion for as NASCAR theme this weekend because it's NASCAR All Star day on the 16th
hi marilyn -- it's a pretty tiny place! My aunt's "farm" was at the Hortontown Hill Road exit off the Taconic, but not a fuoll right -- just a diagonal northwards.
two minutes...
I hope the next grid is easier and more fun size i dont care just as long as it has the other two elements \
217
autumn -- it's abit late now -- but send it for next year to Babbler!
me too, mlf
sorry about your kitty jilli :(
