Hey back. I have to take the dvds back but first gossip chanel

12:12 am

the theme is beards of the world

12:12 am

thanks harp

Harp i keep seeing your pick and thinking of the Dr God

12:14 am

I wonder if the beard is real or fake -- he seems to be into disguise

Jandy do you know how amusing it is to see a cat drenched purring her head off

I say real

12:14 am

does she like it, herin?

Yep

Shes mental

12:15 am

unusual... bonus for you!

Yep. then she must be covered in cat spit

12:17 am

Errrkkkk... cough, think I have a furball just thinking about it!

LOL

of course....humans can't clean cats !!!!!

At least you don't wake up to someone staring at you and when you ignore her she will came up to your face and go 'FEED ME'

Hi OHJ is that your kitty?

they keep us around for entertainment and to do the dirty work for them

yes..that's Phillip. He's my youngest of 4

12:19 am

True... I have a dog who taps politely with his paw on the dog food box, the back door, opens the sliding door to the cupboard with his toys in it... he's mental in his own way.... but it works for him!

12:19 am

LOL... Phillip... great name for a cat!

12:19 am

enough for tonight --- see you tomorrow :)

That is true and kitty is lovely

12:19 am

Night nan!

Night Nan

OHJ as the kitty is white she gets bathed. She doesn't mind

ty Jandy. The other names are Elizabeth, Reginald and Frannie

12:20 am

bye cyber

12:20 am

Very formal!

Oh pretty

12:21 am

You don't need a HUNch to see Attila in the grid...

they think so....more so because they are SPOILED ROTTEN and would not live any other way

12:21 am

but alas, it isn't a word

12:21 am

Hi Doug!

12:22 am

hi doug

12:22 am

My dog feels just the same, OHJ, although he is only a Rocko.

HI DOug. Also OHJ is all the kittys black?

hi doug

12:23 am

Hello kje, jandy, herin, Dee, and everyone

woo.

3 black and 1 gray. 3 are from the same liter that consisted of 2 blacks and the gray

12:24 am

Hi becca

hey

Hey Becca

How can you tell them appart?

When they were little we had collars on them. That lasted for about a week !!! LOL. As they grew it became easier especially Elizabeth - her mouth enters the room 5 mins before she does

So Elizabeth has the large head? Do you have any kitty pics?

12:27 am

Morning! How many words today? And how is everyone?

12:27 am

Steven Cray - father of supercomputing, is in the grid...

Hi Monkey

12:28 am

100 words

12:28 am

Hi Monkey... a nice tidy 100!

12:28 am

I see lots of phantom Dutch words again today. And real ones. That gets distracting.

12:28 am

nice to know ...relevent?

12:28 am

Thanks, kje!

hi monkey

12:29 am

And Jandy...

12:30 am

Phantom: ratchet

12:30 am

This grid would be much improved with the introduction of an E. I suppose it wouldn't be so petite then, though!

12:30 am

I still like my dyslexic marsupial on the second bottom row...

lol

12:31 am

I see it too. That is funny.

mmf

12:33 am

One of the phantom Dutch words is horeca

12:33 am

meaning, monkey?

12:34 am

Pretty much the faster-food industry. A fancy restaurant isn't a horeca, neither is a McDonalds, but all teh mid-range cafes are.

12:34 am

It also means the wholesale snack foods industry.

12:34 am

South Afrikaan word alert...

12:34 am

Ah... we don't really have a word for that - I think it would be a family restaurant. And what an interesting word with such a big second meaning!

12:35 am

Thanks, Doug, hadn't seen that oneyet.

12:35 am

Yeah, I should look up the etymology sometime.

12:35 am

midway - and going to bed - see you all later : )

Ok kiddies. I am going to drop off the dvds back soon

12:35 am

thanks, Doug, haven't seen it yet! LOL!

12:55 am

I just spent a long time changing my icon and I got it wrong. I'm going to leave him up. He's my favorite guy

12:55 am

12:56 am

My guy will do for both too

12:56 am

12:56 am

That is some facial hair, jilli....

12:57 am

Back, but the toddler monitor is making suspicious sounds.

12:57 am

I'm trying to get it changed to September

12:57 am

Making them or relaying them, Monkey???

12:57 am

don't mind waiting forever for that too westie

12:57 am

Good luck with that, west...

12:58 am

Relaying. Good point. It does make them sometimes, though, in response to signals from elsewhere. OK, got to go! Have fun all!

12:58 am

I just think it would be better without all that cold and snow

12:58 am

brb

12:58 am

hi and bye monkey

12:58 am

Bye Monkey!

12:58 am

Frequently mentioned tree in a particular Monty Python episode

12:58 am

You should try it here west... sometimes it's 42 degrees...

12:59 am

where jandy?

12:59 am

bleh

12:59 am

that's right it's your summer

1:00 am

That's it..

1:00 am

ummmm thinking it's our summer (supposed to be) westie

1:00 am

By far the biggest culture shock as a kid moving from one hemisphere to another. I still love a cold winter.. or at least the idea of it!

1:01 am

oh jandy .....you can have my cold winter anytime you want

1:01 am

do you ever get back to cold winters jandy?

1:01 am

And people here always did the same Christmas lunch... mothers dropping from heat exhaustion everywhere from turning out a roast and all the trimmings!

1:02 am

We lived in St Louis for 2 Christmases west... that was Cold with a Capital C!! But sooooo pretty!

1:02 am

we all do crazy things in the name of tradition don't we?

1:02 am

lol winter in st louis.....lolol

1:02 am

Thanks Just1.. we get cold winters in Canberra by Australian standards, but nothing compared to you!

1:02 am

Not funny, Just... neither is summer in St Louis...

1:03 am

ooh I love that movie Meet Me In St. Louis especially when Judy sings that song

1:03 am

would much rather endure their summer than our winter that's fer dam sure!

1:03 am

We do west, fortunately, things are changing slowly to lighter meals with lots of seafood and champagne and mangoes and avocadoes etc...

1:03 am

Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

1:04 am

that's a Christmas dinner I would really enjoy jandy

1:04 am

I dunno... I had a baby and a toddler when we lived there I felt like I spent half the summer in the basement laundry waiting for the tornado all clear. Sometimes, after several hours, I would just come out and take my chances... less risk of death with the tornado!

1:05 am

It's different but very good west.. kids in the pool or at the beach, lots of barbecuing...

1:05 am

well I can take heat alot better than cold......our just passed winter was a real bi^tch

1:05 am

I've never been to St Louis but my husband used to go there for business and he said he'd never experienced such humidity

1:06 am

You should emigrate, Just!!!

1:06 am

1:06 am

florida in summer....acapulco anytime....yeah i know what hot humidity is......

1:06 am

1:07 am

1:07 am

1:07 am

Well ladies and gents.. I must away! Have a great evening, or sleep, or day!

1:08 am

night jandy

1:08 am

1:08 am

LOL west, that should cover it! Hope it works! POOF

1:09 am

1:09 am

oh it was changed to 08/05 westie

1:09 am

and it's also the first day of the Olympics

1:09 am

is that why they changed it?

1:10 am

well think my son's wedding is more important to me than olympics in china...

1:10 am

I know that silly.

1:10 am

1:11 am

I am not super computer literate

Ok this is a video that discuses zombie plans

http://tinyurl.com/46a4dj

I just had a facinating chat with the electrician about our hot water system... seems we have 300 lt of hot water a day

My pc just pooped itself

2:00 am

lol

Ru this is why nerds will inherit earth we have a zombie plan

2:02 am

oh...and you consider yourself to be a nerd? .. I don't think so

YEp

2:02 am

phantom: misocainea

We have a zombie plan

2:02 am

if you say so babble

HI Babble

how many litres in a gallon??

2:03 am

I am unsure

errr

2:03 am

2.3?

2:04 am

4.546 liters

2:04 am

Hi all!

HI Mar

2:04 am

whew marmar saves the day

so if a shower is 2 gallons a minute.... that would be 9 litres a min??

2:04 am

yep

2:04 am

I'm an American living in Europe....have my conversion chart within arms reach at all times.

No idea

2:05 am

WOw and I was so impressed

2:06 am

Don't let me fool you. I 'm still recovering from BabRab's phantom, misocainea!

RU have you seen the rpg books we own

2:06 am

babble does that just to keep us all off balance

2:06 am

Have to go, bye!

ah, now I know where the hot water is going

2:06 am

no sorry herin

bye bye ajv

2:06 am

Bye ajv.

2:06 am

that conversion if for an imperial gallon

2:07 am

I am finding like 1 word every five minutes..

Heading to bed...take care all and ruru, I hope your wife gets some answers...hang in there.

2:08 am

Ahhhcccchhh....you're stealing my limelight here BabRab... Is there a difference?

2:08 am

thanks, marmar -- I was wondering because our gas here is S1.47 per litre and I couldn't figure out how much that is per gallon -- think we have the most expensive gas in North America -- $6.68 per gallon.

Look at my flicka account

2:08 am

I find lots of words that enable will not accept

2:08 am

thanks nonnie

Basically a zombie plan is a practical solution to a difficult problem

2:08 am

ok then, babrab, what is it for a US gallon?

Jill our gas is about the same

2:09 am

Hi Jilli. Wow, that is crazy. We're paying around 1,50 € per liter...so about the same as you I guess..

2:09 am

a liter is 3,785 US gallons

2:10 am

3.785

2:10 am

Wow, that's quite a difference! Learned something new today!

2:11 am

so that's $5.56 per US gallon and going up.

2:11 am

morning all, a quick ten minutes before I must wave off my son to school camp. Hubby is taking him to school and waves him off there.

Morning

2:11 am

a US gallon is .833 of an imperial gallon

2:11 am

wait a minute...is a U.S. gallon 3.785 liters?

2:11 am

hi sprite

that explains why we have no hot water after lickety has his 'shower' in the morning. He is dead meat

Mr Pres showers should be 5min tops

2:12 am

but at least he is cooked dead meat, mrP

infern, he takes 20 min showers

2:12 am

I have to stop before someone starts talking about monetary exchange rates

Bad Lickety

2:13 am

agio

Hello SPrite

2:13 am

sounds like a water buffalo

2:14 am

Ha, Lady, that reminds me of my dad preaching about his days in the Navy and the famous "3 miinute shower". Get wet, turn off water. Soap up head to toe. Turn on water and rinse. Get out.

Nuuh i have 10 min showers due to stupid shower head

Ru you have seen Posidon remake?

2:15 am

hi jilli and lady

2:16 am

I turned it off after a while herin it was soo awful

2:16 am

howya doin, sprite?

2:16 am

too many almost-words here

OK so ill make you laugh. A zombie plan for this movie: Take of stupid dress as dresses slow you down. Steal clothes of someone (that is likely) dead. Change shoes too. Go up and leaves anyone that is too drunk are unable to look after them selfs (kids etc)

2:19 am

all we need is an s for a shoulda, coulda, woulda

lol ru

2:20 am

I have to go, lots to clean today and I literally "have" to iron shirts or my husband will go on strike. Then I get to make lunch for 5 hungry school kids later (not all mine). Bye all. Have fun with this crummy grid!

2:20 am

not great, jilli. *hugs*

2:21 am

er.. marmar.. have a nice day..?

Try and have a good day mar

2:21 am

anyone I don't chase away just by greeting?

No Im still here

2:23 am

I am glad... thought I was something that smelled very unpleasantly.

2:23 am

Okay I am calling it quits.. 30 minutes and 6 words max.. I can't find a thing today..Don't worry SPrite.. you are great...Nite thanks for the laughs herin.. I needed them. Cheers

2:23 am

no great enough to say hi to, though. Bye ruru.

Later Ru

Sprite where is the kids goin?

2:24 am

Oh, that sounded like I was complaining, I really wasn't. And "Goedemorgen" Spritey! I really do wish you all a wonderful day!

2:24 am

bye marmar

2:25 am

lol lady, we do not know. It is one of the best kept secrets of the school each year. When they have left, the parents get a sealed envelope with their destination in it!

Oh that is interesting. Do they return them?

2:29 am

so far, they have done so each year. It makes it very exciting for the kids to not know. And I suspect the school has had bad experiences with parents who think it is a good idea to go visit their kids on school camp.

2:29 am

sprite -- I'm back -- sorry to hear things are not great

2:30 am

wb jilli. Glad not everybody runs the moment I enter ;)

2:31 am

I've just been trying to get NBT -- haven't done it yet

2:31 am

good morning everyone:)

2:31 am

it is a tough grid, I think. I haven't had a smooth series so far.

2:31 am

hello jean

2:31 am

hi jean, good morning!

I wish my mum rescued me from the school camp

2:33 am

2:36 am

Hello everyone

Hi Lynxx

2:36 am

good morning lynxx:)

2:36 am

southeastern -- bottom right corner T

HI Jean

2:36 am

Hi Jean - good to you you again

2:36 am

lynxxx to the rescue yet again!!! Thanks and hi!

HI Lynxx

2:37 am

thank you lynxx:)

2:37 am

Hi J. - what a great mo!

2:38 am

I wish I wasn't the only one following the handlebar moustache theme! I wanted to see the other choices!

2:38 am

cald

Moustaches creep me out

2:38 am

Isn't it amazing?

2:39 am

oooops soz wasnt even a word lol

2:39 am

I always have such problems changing my icon...sometimes they don't 'refresh' for a few days

2:39 am

herin, I prefer clean shaven

2:40 am

strange, lynxxx -- I haven't had that problem --- yet...

they have always weirded me out

2:41 am

well, my dad had a neat little military one

2:41 am

yuk - sandpaper - like my husbands beard which he has had for some 30 odd years (in various shapes)

Wow Lynx the b.f doesn't shave

2:42 am

must dash hope to bbl, Happy Babbling everyone:)

2:42 am

Bye jean!

2:42 am

bye Jean

Later Jean

2:44 am

well, NBT, thanks to lynxxx -- now I'd like to get halfway -- need 2 more words

2:45 am

1 more now...

2:46 am

yay, halfway -- can go to bed now!

2:47 am

good going Jilli - this one looks like its going to be the same as yesterdays. Sweet dreams

Night Jill

2:48 am

no E, no S, no happy little endings... miserable thing

ok back... just been the evilest mother of all time...

2:50 am

I don't believe that, mrp!

What did you do?

2:51 am

Hi MRP monster mum, lol

very very upset with daughter and her horrid, disgusting, lazy pigsty way of leaving her room... clothing, books, everything everywhere!! looks like a rubbish bin

So put everything in a garbage bag and dump it

so I took everything out... all clothing, all toys, books, nicknacks... everything, except her blankets, pillow and school clothes

2:52 am

wtg, mrp!

there is now 7 box fulls of her crap... including her valuables... in the garage.

2:52 am

welcome to the teenage years...I couldn't get either of mine to consistently keep clean, so I would just close the door

well done

i made her sign an agreement!! I am awful!! she is in the bathroom weeping!!

Oh?

2:53 am

she'll get over it -- don't you weaken with the weeping!

she has to pay $1 for each thing she wants back, (including her underwear) and she has to work for it.... on credit... like a bank account. She will get $1 written up for each chore, and then she can buy something back

MR PRES

2:54 am

wow!

she signed the agreement... and if she leaves anything she has 'repurchased' on the floor or somewhere it shouldn't be, it gets put in the incinerator.

2:55 am

I think this is called "tough love"

like I said, I am evil evil evil!! I feel awful, but I just can't see how I can get through to her... begging, pleading, screaming, nothing has worked

MR PRes you should donate that stuff

She should only be allowed minamal clothes.

2:56 am

You are NOT evil!

2:56 am

she brought it on herself

all the memorabilia, all the trophies, all the ballet certificates... everything is gone. She is gonna be crying for weeks. She is particularly upset about buying back a single pair of underpants, but that is the least of her worries

thank you jilli ! she certainly did

i will donate and sell alot of the stuff, she is spoilt rotten... to the point that throwing her undies around on the floor all over the house is a given!

http://www.packinglistonline.com/ I got this list the other day

Mr PRes i don't agree with taken her important memoribila. Yes they should be boxed and yes she should earn them back but don't toss them

brb, have to give them dinner... sobbing child might not want to eat it though... see you all soon I won't toss the memorabilia, I will box that for keepsake

if she wants it in her room, she has to earn it back... bbs

3:00 am

My big grownup newlywed hubby used to drop his pajamas on the floor when he got up in the morning. I eventually threw them under the middle of the double bed so he would have to crawl to get them. His mother was Not Amused.

back soon have to feed

3:01 am

It worked, though.

3:01 am

lol Jilli - I sometimes do similar stuff to my untidy husband

3:02 am

glad to hear it, lynxxx!

3:02 am

Now I must go to bed!

3:03 am

bye again Jilli

3:03 am

*poof*

3:09 am

Hi herin, mrp and lynxxx. Funny grid today, with all those a's. I've missed Babbling for a week as I've been away in Cornwall where it rained every day. Guess who took summer clothes and flip-flops?

3:11 am

Hi Hydra

3:12 am

As long as you had a good break - as well as a good book or company

3:13 am

I was lucky, I had both! And bought some hippie tie-dyed clothes to remind me of my misspent youth.

back, she did a chore and bought back mamabear!! good lord!

3:15 am

gah - is it back in fashion again?

mamabear is the bear she sleeps with at night... I suggested she work towards a pair of pyjamas and underwear

3:16 am

Yes lynxxx, it is! No loon pants, though. I used to trip over the hems of mine.

3:16 am

aw MRP - I think she needs a cuddle from you

ah, lickety is home... now for some tough love there too... what a day! bbs

lynxx, she gets that free! :)) will do

3:17 am

loon pants? like bell bottoms?

3:18 am

Yes! They were cripplingly tight round bum and tum and huge round the hems. They'd wrap round your ankles and trip you up!

3:20 am

Your daughter's room sounds a bit like mine, mrP! But my excuse is that I am camping out with half my stuff in storage and the rest here at the BF's.

3:20 am

and worn with really heavy wide belts that were worn on yr hips - we didn't call them loon here. Surprising as we copied faithfully all the 60's stuff

3:21 am

I still have one of those belts. It's about 40 years old now and a bit faded, like moi.

3:21 am

wb

3:22 am

*whispers very softly: I finally could get back in*

3:22 am

lol Hydra

Hydra i was cooking. Sprite i had problems too

3:22 am

Hi herin. (hello sprite...)

3:22 am

Hi Sprite - your day not starting out well?

Tonights feast is beans sausages baked and mash potatoes with cream and veggies steamed

3:23 am

Lovely! Can I come?

3:23 am

not at all, lyn :( Some unfriendly sh*t, then babble went ballistic on me. But I waved my son off to schoolcamp, he is gonna have a wonderful time :) (and we a bit of peace and quiet at home, lol)

If you wish. The sausages were darn expensive

3:24 am

They'll have gone cold by the time I get there. Green too! (LOL)

eww.

3:24 am

ewww hydra, lol

I bathed the cat today she is all fluffy

3:25 am

Hope I haven't spoiled them for you! I should hush ma mouth!

3:25 am

*giggles @ hydra* Thanks for making me laugh!

Nope no dramas at my end

3:25 am

Is he away all week Sprite? isn't it funny how just one person away makes for such a peaceful house

3:26 am

4 days, lyn! And yes, indeed. Will miss him, but will love the peace and quiet.

3:27 am

When we were kids at primary school, we played a game called sausage and mash. We would read a paragraph from a book out loud, substituting 'sausage' and 'mash' for all words starting with s or m. It made us giggle, but we were only 7!

We do that

3:27 am

this summer, both of our kids will to on scouting camp together. Just the hubby and me for a whole week :)

That and Pants

Hydra do you mean Bangas and Mash?

3:27 am

hydra, that is tough!

We like to play Pants

3:28 am

You mean, say 'pants' for words beginning with 'p'? And wot's tough, sprite? Herin's sausages?

3:28 am

no, that game

3:29 am

I was just joking!

No. You think of a movie like Muppets from Outer Space but you replace a word with Pants -Like Pants from Outer Space.

3:30 am

am trying to imagine myself playing it... I bet I would be out of the game right away, lol

3:30 am

Oh, I see! We did that with 'farts' as in A Bridge Too Fart, and Fart from the Madding Crowd!

3:30 am

LOL

OH i have to do that one thats funny

3:31 am

lol Hydra

3:31 am

The Godfarter

Ok now we are being 5

Combine them. Harry Farter and the Deathly Pants! Oh yes, fart and away! Love it!

3:35 am

3:35 am

Where's the trifle and jelly, so I can be very very sick?

3:35 am

LOL, good one!

LOL thats brillant

3:36 am

Hi all - is the grid really horrid or is it just me

3:36 am

Don't know, but here is a jar with cookies...

3:36 am

It's pretty nasty Kazzer

3:36 am

Kazzer, it is one of the toughest I ever played.

Lynxx you watching ACA?

3:36 am

Hi Kazzer

3:36 am

I'll shut up now.

3:38 am

Kazzer must think we're mad.

3:38 am

we are

Hey i resemble that remark

3:39 am

lol lady, good one

3:39 am

Nothing beats having a good laugh. Except maybe sex and chocolate? No, not even that. LOL, herin!

3:39 am

oh no I;ve been lurking a bit and was thinking of a few of my own the Empire Farts Back and the Phantom Fart

3:39 am

lolol Kazzer, brilliant!

Isn't sex a laugh

3:39 am

well... having sex, chocolate AND a good laugh. But that is rare.

3:39 am

if you get any

3:39 am

Great, Kazzer! You're a star.

3:40 am

Depends who you're doing it with, herin

3:40 am

Morning all. My contribution - a bridge too fart

3:40 am

I think The Emperor Farts Back wins the prize.

Hi Frances

3:40 am

Bridge of the River Fart

3:40 am

I think so too, sprite.

3:41 am

Another one 2 Fart 2 furious

15 left no list

3:51 am

no list, but still 42 to find here

3:51 am

Is it me or is this a hard grid?

3:52 am

its hard

3:52 am

I am finding it extremely hard. Haven't had a smooth run for any period of time.

3:52 am

Was beginning to think I was having a few senior moments.

Bits and peices

3:53 am

don't tell me - but haven't got one 7 yet either

Just watched the trailer for Dark Night

3:53 am

I am finding one word, have to look for ages, then find another word. No 7s at all yet. Only 2 of the 6s.

3:55 am

Won't let me have ti*** meaning small

3:56 am

was it any good, lady?

Yes

woot got a 7

4:00 am

Cool it is but its not

4:11 am

4:28 am

good morning all, this looks like a tough grid

4:28 am

morning flosey!

4:29 am

4:29 am

Hi Flosey, not as bad as yesterdays

HI Flosey

YAH SPRITE

4:32 am

go lady gooo!

4:32 am

go herin go!!

4:33 am

I hope you alll saw or rather listened to Nono's video yesterday about the unsolicited phonecalls - hysterical, laughed the whole way through

4:33 am

even showed it to my hubby, lyn, and he couldn't stop laughing :D

4:34 am

good! he needs a good belly laugh or two, how is he Sprite?

4:35 am

the laughing was great for him. But for the rest he is not doing well. Which is to be expected, I believe... now that he admits he is suffering from a burnout, things are getting worse first before they can get better, right?

4:36 am

whats a burnout sprite?

4:37 am

overworked and depressed and such, pink

4:37 am

Sprite - He is continuing to see the doctor/therapist?

4:37 am

he is, lyn, he started last week and will see her again this week.

4:37 am

congrats sprite - bit slow off the mark - been concentrating on the jaffa

4:38 am

he doesn't sleep at all well though, which does not help things.

4:38 am

thanks Kazzer :)

4:39 am

oh a breakdown, ok im with ya...at least now he acknowledges the fact that something is wrong, recovery starts from admission

4:40 am

very true, pink. Sorry, I thought burn-out was an international phrase nowadays.

4:41 am

no worries sprite **hugs**

4:41 am

*hugs right back*

Hi sorry i dropped out

back in a sec dinner needs dishes washe

4:43 am

I am going to hang out the laundry to dry in the garden. It seems to be lovely weather.

4:44 am

I'm at a loss of what to say Sprite. Such a pity he didn't get that job last year, new enthusiasm may have avoided this. My thoughts are with you both

4:44 am

bye all, have a great evening and a wonderful day.

4:44 am

bye Spritey

4:44 am

yes, that is true, lyn. But it wasn't to be... hopefully he will find something later on, when he feels better. Thanks for caring :)

5:12 am

Congrats Kazzer!

5:19 am

how many words

5:20 am

100 total

5:21 am

thanks. i prefer them grids smaller rather than the monstrous 200plus words. how about you?

5:23 am

Both kinds of grids have their good sides and bad sides. I prefer that kind of grids that are not filled with "not-real-English" words.

5:26 am

hi, may I please have help with the 7's

good morning babblers

hi peri, sorry I only just started and dont have any of the larger words yet

6:12 am

Congrats Flosey!

6:12 am

Oh flosey. :( I hope you feel better soon!

sorry to hear that flosey, it's a shame to have to cancel

6:12 am

yes, means won't see her again until October

feel better soon!

6:13 am

FUNNY video/audio, Nono!! I love pranks and do many myself--I leave messages on friends' answering machines, use an accent sometimes, and it is hilarious.

6:13 am

she's sooo excited - first grandchild on the way

6:13 am

I have even sent prank typed letters to friends....geez, that isn't a federal postal offense, is it?

lol Scrabs! you prankster! hehee

6:14 am

LOL good for you Scrabbler. I LOVED that guy in the video. Hysterical. Congrats to uyour friend flosey!

6:15 am

thanks Lori

6:15 am

I thought it was very funny up until the last part about gays

6:15 am

WOOHOO Flosey - hope you feel better

6:15 am

Once, at the office, I was called the nurse triage line, used an accent, and was very worried about my baby...I had the nurse going for quite a while--until the whole office was laughing.

6:15 am

thanks kje

6:16 am

Yes, Bichon, that was over the top.

lmao Scrabs, wish I had been there!

6:16 am

and scrabbler, am sure your friends enjoy your pranks

6:16 am

Scrabbler, at a place I used to work, I called my supervisor all the time, being a "customer" the staff loved it. I always gave them the heads up first.....

6:17 am

It is fun to escape from reality--it is a vital part of my daily life.

6:18 am

am sure it helps relieve tense moments scrab

6:18 am

I'm sure it is Scrabbler. A little escapism is an important survival mechanism

6:19 am

I have to be careful that Boss Richard Head or Office Manager Ratched are not around--they frown on personal conversations and especially laughing.

6:19 am

***enjoying chat, forgetting what those little yellow tiles were for***

6:20 am

Yah, people like that like to make everyone miserable. Misery enjoys company.

6:20 am

well Scrab, I feel sorry for them, they must be awfully uptight

6:20 am

coffe beeping (thank god) BRB

6:20 am

back to bed now, bye all until tomorrow

6:20 am

Feel better soon flosey, have a ncie sleep.

6:20 am

Yes, flosey, they need daily enemas, for sure.

some thing is very wrong about that Scrabs..... Laughter is really such good medicine it belongs in any medical setting

rest well flosey and feel better

6:21 am

thanks all, poof!

6:21 am

Bye Flosey--feel better. Take Echinacea, suck on zinc lozenges, drink a lot of Gatorade, and you will get better.

6:22 am

thanks Scrab. am doing that

6:23 am

It is a sick, toxic environment, Nono, but I make it better whenever possible.

6:25 am

can't imagine a peds practice without fun -

laughter has pulled me thru many rough times lately

6:25 am

morning all

6:26 am

7:25 am

Thank you.:-) I finished off with three 'wo' words that I hadn't seen, even though they are clearly there.

Hey everyone

7:25 am

Afternoon all Congrats Jacs!! I am now appropriately icon dressed for the day (I think)

7:25 am

carlee - have you had that trademarked yet?

7:26 am

hey, lickety!

Anyone seen the video yet from Chiley ?

7:26 am

hi Lickety and FM !!

7:26 am

could someone post a link here for me?

7:26 am

lol Lickety, your ears must be burning...my trademark ref was a bit tongue in cheek about the list being up! how goes it!

7:26 am

yep, tried it, luc! LOL

7:26 am

LOL, FM. I'd forgotten all about that poem.

7:26 am

hiya Fmitch and LIckety

7:27 am

7:27 am

Hi y'all again

AsGreen - I think I sorted that out ;-) Although MLFAN12 and I Jinx the other day

7:27 am

G'd morning Lickety! ***bows at the feet of the lifesaving list*** Great video

7:28 am

Une, an easy winner - better luck next time all !...lol

7:28 am

I had too Jacs, amazing what the brain trauls up! Hello everyone *hapy grin*

LoriP - well done finishing - this grid looked very tricky

7:28 am

7:28 am

this is such a funny video

7:28 am

*hapy grin to FM*** G'd morning :)

7:29 am

Lori finished too? wow, whats it like today, the grid that is?

7:29 am

:-D c'est une moustache un peu timide en comparaison!

7:30 am

it was a sticky grid

7:30 am

hi Eva !

7:30 am

congrats, lori!

AsGreen - http://tinyurl.com/4flgvy

Whoops - that was for Unaexioise

7:30 am

true Une ...but wh** it lacks in size, it makes it up in style !

7:31 am

Angel, I was just reading your profile.... we've talked about my organizing b-i-l, right?

Angelsong - Yeah I checked it all out - Very cool - You have a similiar mind to mine ;-)

7:31 am

can I look too? :)

AsGreen - that's cheating ;-)

7:31 am

Yah, finished awhile ago ***did I mention Lickety and his list are omnipotent?***

7:31 am

Lickety...that is a compliment, indeed

7:31 am

I'm not looking, I'm not looking!

7:32 am

ok..lori... the wonean with the glasses on and off..is killing me

7:32 am

FM, the grid is weird, full of weird words, and just plain weird. DId I mention weird?

7:32 am

woman*

7:32 am

AS: not sure.

7:32 am

Hi everyone

7:32 am

Lickety (dumb question), did you write a program to build the list?

7:32 am

G'd morning Ema

7:32 am

In which case I will avoid the wierd wierdness and stich with the strange weirdness that is sudoku today

7:33 am

Angel - his name is Peter Walsh - he's, um, an "organizing guru"

AngelSong - your monthly stats are definitely fun to see. I've sorta given up on modifing my stats and the randomness of it all means it could go anywhere

7:33 am

thanks for the link, lickety!

7:33 am

AS: is he on the web, at all?

7:33 am

LOLOL FM :)

7:33 am

oh, yeah, all over the web - and an "Oprah friend".... etc.

7:33 am

ok..apparently I am not here..so ...ill go...

7:34 am

carlee - where are you????

AsGreen - yeah - over the years I added more and more, and actually - in the last few weeks it runs itself and emails me and even tells you all on the chat log when it's done. I can even check it's done on my mobile phone. It's not fool proof though - and I have to have enough videos in the pipeline.

7:34 am

Well Im seeing ghosts then carlee!

7:34 am

Lickety - just watched the video. It's hilarious. They were really freaked out, weren't they?

7:34 am

***where'd carlee go?***

7:34 am

Lickety said a word, :)

7:34 am

Lickety, I started the stats on January 1, just for the fun of it, then I just added them to the resource guide, along with everything else Babble I could find.

7:34 am

But licekty does it make you a coffee too?

Jacula - yeah - I watched it again - and showed mrp too - it is fun

7:35 am

and is the coffee strong? ****sigh

7:35 am

made it to 50 - BBL - happy babbling all - "POOF"

FMitch - it allows me to go to the kitchen to make my 3pm coffee ;-)

7:35 am

Yea monty! have a good day.

7:35 am

Bye monty nice to see you

7:35 am

AS: cool! I'm going to Google him, and add him to my arsenal of organizing sites.

7:35 am

very cool lickety (the programming that is)

7:36 am

oops, I said a word too

7:36 am

-----> The cabana boy awaits

AsGreen - yeah - the last thing I did I'm quite proud of - took me a year to work out how to do it too - the upload to my free hosting

7:36 am

ohhh, ANgelsong and Lickety, i am an organized person as well and i will be in position very soon to show you the evolaution of rankings in both the Cream of the crop and the Village elders rankings...still a bit of work to be done...

7:37 am

As - Peter Walsh is your b-i-l? Seen him on "Clean Sweep" for a long time.(If it's same guy)

7:37 am

I'd better make the most of what the weather forecaster said is our last dry day for a while. The garden calls. Happy Babbling.

7:37 am

some of us village elders are bordering on village geezers! LOL

7:37 am

Angel - he's written a couple of books - you'll see them when you google (I'm in one of 'em ***shameless plug***), and when Oprah mentions them, they fly up the rankings....amazing

oh montreal13 - it's not those stats we are interested in - It's the repetition and size of the words in the grid

7:38 am

Uni - that's him!

7:38 am

i know Lickety - i thought it would be something that might interest a number of babblers,,,

7:38 am

G'd morning Uni. :-) @ Une

7:38 am

I'm going to move the resource guide to a paid webhost this summer, I think

7:38 am

soooo many phantom words

7:38 am

He used to be a lot more "vicious" throwing out family heirlooms...recent eps I have seen he lets a LOT more stuff slide. Lori still gets upset over someone's Grandmother's paint set, LOL.

7:38 am

hey, lori :-)

7:39 am

Don't bring THAT up Uni.......

7:39 am

I appreciate your data monty

Well - nice for the chat everyone. I have a feeling I might be here some more soon for some support - Life is about to get really tough again - mrp is about to go through a major turn and leave us for medical stuff

7:39 am

he's still pretty vicious! :) honestly, he's awesome

Night all!

7:40 am

(((((((Hugs Lickety))))))) - to both of you!

7:40 am

I think one reason I've been so successful at organizing is that I had a chance not many people get: to start in a brand new environment. And, I am consistent.

7:42 am

Later monty!

7:42 am

I wonder if Monty's stats can explain the bizarre discrepancies in rankings from time to time..

7:43 am

I think one of the reasons I am successful at being disorganized, is the discipline involved, to not do it.

7:44 am

sorry, had to step out....still do....bbs

7:46 am

If only there was money in being disorganized and slothenly. Maybe a book. It might sell.

7:47 am

The Anti Get Organised Encyclpedia - I can see it on the best seller list now1

7:48 am

I'll call it B.O. Bad Organization

7:48 am

LOL!

7:50 am

M.E.S.S. Mothers Eschewing Safety Standards? :-)

Hang on...

8:04 am

27 to go . . . feeling a powerful pull from the list . . .

8:05 am

I applaud you all in your determination. Today I am wimping out and watching from the sidelines :)

8:05 am

setting up a tailgate, fmitch?

8:06 am

picnicking on the periphery?

8:06 am

Hazarding a guess would that be something to do with food?

8:06 am

yes! just realized it wouldn't mean a thing to you! LOL

8:07 am

LOL

8:07 am

ahh, is picknicking a purely american term?

8:08 am

is it? I assume that's the case for tailgating . . .

8:08 am

ok, I'm back again....77 to go - feeling same pull that Une is .... :)

8:08 am

(Okay, I've got a beard. Not a very exciting one, but at least it counts.)

8:08 am

No EvaN it was the tailgate word and its implications that is USA

8:09 am

ahh, that makes more sense -- i thought picknicking mightve been more broad, but i could see tailgaiting as solidly american...

8:09 am

fresh pot of coffee ready . . . BRB

8:10 am

bring me some Une? ****refilling weak cup too*****

8:10 am

A tentative beard Vi but a beard none the less.

8:10 am

Well, we can't all have exultantly aggressive beards, now can we.

8:11 am

BRB all, gotta toast my bagel!

8:12 am

When I was looking for my icon I wondered if perhaps yo uhad illustrated the Lear limerick

8:14 am

Some of them wo5 be fun, but after all if Lear illustrated them himself, who am I to think I could do better?

8:14 am

Besides, he cheats using the same line twice!

8:14 am

anybody have the corner T?

8:14 am

Or rhyming word anyway, I mean.

8:15 am

lex, it sounds like the creamy sauce you put on fish

8:15 am

ta5/10

8:15 am

True :)

8:15 am

*here ya go, green--fresh cuppa piping hot, STRONG coffee*

8:15 am

Hey, lex, we have the same icon today.

8:16 am

8:17 am

I love STRONG coffee. Cowboy coffee.

8:17 am

I love STRONG coffee. Cowboy coffee.

8:18 am

8:18 am

wow Bzzz - you must have had some already?

8:18 am

You really do, don't you!

8:18 am

Not enough, green. =)

8:19 am

Edward Lear wrote some Limericks absurd - The most famous that ever were heard. But I think he cheated When his rhymes were repeated And his lines ended with the same word.

8:19 am

I know, but when you start seeing those silly words, you know you have been doing this too long. =)

8:28 am

Shhh do no speak of these things it will scare the new ones *giggle*

8:30 am

Then I guess it would also be bad to moan and groan about how miserable this grid is?

8:31 am

Im sorry FMitch can't come to the log right now, she is making tea and putting a sensible head on.

8:32 am

Oh darn. FM's sensible head is lovely to look at, but not nearly so much fun.

8:32 am

It is miserable, Vi. No flow.

8:32 am

Exactly, BzznBea. No flow at all.

8:33 am

There's no E, that's why!

8:33 am

Or s.

8:34 am

Looking at grid porperly for the first time, it does look rather yucky

8:34 am

.. but intreaguing nonetheless

8:34 am

Intriguing would be a euphemism, I'm afraid.

8:35 am

you just said a word Vi

8:36 am

8:36 am

Oh, so I did. Blllgh.

11:01 am

anyone have the ar6?

11:02 am

could someone clue the lone a?

11:02 am

lone a?

11:02 am

ar6 ar4 + 3ltr word for sick minus L

11:03 am

you mean minus the a?

11:04 am

no minus an L

11:04 am

ai5 a + the i word

11:04 am

isn't the lone a the one that is just like a female dog/ derog for woman word?

11:05 am

got it, sounds like H

11:05 am

well there is more than one three letter word for sick, and one of them, would involve removing an A

11:05 am

oh...i was thinking ail for sick

11:06 am

ar6 ar4 + dotted vowel and line consonant

11:06 am

okay then remove the a

11:06 am

which I did

11:06 am

thank you very much

11:07 am

i guess you and i think alike, sharon!

11:08 am

11:09 am

11:09 am

how about an at 7?

11:10 am

Hmmm?

11:10 am

lol. I have choicer names for my ex's

11:10 am

the zz top is only because it's beard day!

11:11 am

well mine is lazy of course, and he only has three toes...it is a literal nickname, but yes I have many others as well.

11:11 am

11:11 am

11:13 am

at 7 think of Une's clue, the sausage and rice dish jamb*****

11:13 am

i hate when zombie movies don't explain where the zombies came from

11:14 am

great clues

11:14 am

um, does that happen often evan?

11:14 am

dunno, but its happening in this one

11:15 am

which movie nut?

11:15 am

i need to know that there is some mutant virus or that brainwaves were scrambled by some random surger or that

11:15 am

I want this bumper sticker: My Zombie Ate Your Honor Student

11:16 am

I saw a great bumper sticker the other day that said "My karma ran over your dogma"

11:17 am

well, its not a good zombie movie unless there's some sci fi explanation for it, like ancient witch voodoo reactivated when a cute dog pulls a bone out of a cave or something

11:18 am

love it, jessmom!! LOL

11:18 am

maybe part of the movie will be for the nonzoms to figure out the cause?

11:18 am

if they do, i'll consider it redeemed

11:18 am

i want to see steven kings 'cell' turned into a movie

11:19 am

that would be cool nut, I liked the book

11:19 am

nonzoms, that's a word i just made up, pretty good huh?

11:19 am

which zombie movie are you watching?

11:19 am

i like nonzom

11:19 am

i'm watching house of the dead

11:20 am

haven't seen that one, >>>clicks over to netflix

11:21 am

George Romero's Diary of the Dead came out on DVD today, might check that out

11:21 am

jess, don't do it if you're looking for good acting, or plots, or stuff like that....but if you like a bad movie, then have at it

11:22 am

Not a zombie movie, but I saw a trailer last night for a remake of "The Andromeda Strain" - coming out sometime this summer. Actually, it looked pretty good.

11:22 am

watch MST 3K zombie movies, then you get to laugh a lot!

11:22 am

it's horror, are we ever looking for that?

11:22 am

Zombie movies. Now there's a genre that's been done to death (pun intended).

11:23 am

you have to eat cracker when you watch my zombie movies, cause they are so cheesy!

11:23 am

I can handle bad, but not "Make Them Die Slowly" bad, I think that title refers to the audience...

11:24 am

i am legend was a good quality zombie movie, no crackers needed

11:25 am

9 left...

11:25 am

that's already on my list

11:25 am

Yes, I liked I am Legend, too. Although, I am a sucker for a good "end of civilization as we know it" movie every time.

11:25 am

go ajv!

11:25 am

great in the theatre....watch out for fred okay

11:27 am

8...

11:29 am

24

11:29 am

11:30 am

11:44 am

My final pair is la5/12 and that violent ti5/12. That ti is too much for my brains today...

11:45 am

la5/12 cafe au la** + same cons as other la5s

11:46 am

Got it! These are very strange words for me...

11:46 am

ti5/12 ti4 + use same last letter as the la5 (if you had a lisp, the plural of the ti4 would sound like this)

11:48 am

thank you! I was struggling with a wrong t... But now I've got 100 words, but no fireworks...

11:48 am

your lickety doesn't match your babble perhaps?

11:49 am

11:54 am

11:54 am

12:33 pm

never go backwards when giving your age...add 5 years...thst way you always look great for your age!

6:19 pm

Hi everyone

6:19 pm

haha--I am laughing at EJ's summary of this grid.

6:21 pm

hi, Scrabbler. how's your monitor?

6:21 pm

Still acting up--currently not in full living color. Then sometimes it suddenly brightens up.

6:22 pm

I was asked this morning to be a webmaster for our homeowner's association.

6:23 pm

sounds like it might be going out, Scrabbs. The monitor in my office (not the one at home) was a really ugly pepto bismol pink not long ago, and had to be replaced.

6:25 pm

Good for you--the job. Our homeowners' association has a web site--most helpful for new residents, as I haven't checked it in a year or so.

6:26 pm

it's not a paid job...just something I will help with.

6:28 pm

7:30 pm

7:30 pm

7:32 pm

yeah - brain tumor?? Not how I thought he's go...no disrespect intended

7:32 pm

It doesn't look great, usually 18 mos. Long enough for someone to clamor for his seat and for W to puff out his poultry breast and squawk...

7:32 pm

agreed , knitter

7:32 pm

It is sad news and reminds me of when Mary was diagnosed--the shock, the uncertainty/fear, the upcoming radiation + chemo---it will really knock him down for quite a while, but I hope he can enjoy some quality of life for several more years at least.

7:33 pm

Well put, scrabs.

7:33 pm

indeed, scrabbs, ty, well said.

it's a bad strain he has, though

POOR Mary - life is so heavy sometimes

7:37 pm

never does seem real, does it, scrabs

7:37 pm

Yes, her diagnosis is certainly not fair for her, or her husband, or her 3 little kids.

7:39 pm

I saw the oral surgeon today--my little procedure (apicoectomy) is scheduled for June 3rd and will cost $1100...but, a tooth problem is minor problem in comparison.

7:40 pm

My husband had a friend who died leaving a wife and 3 small children- before his death of melanoma - his friends had a farewell party for him - it was a great priviledge to attend it...he had time to set up his wife and kids - pay off the house and she got back into college near where her parents lived....

7:40 pm

i hate the dentist

7:40 pm

i need some tooth extractions myself

wow scrabs that is a lot, i'm glad i am in Canada, but I wish you all the best with it, hope everything goes well scrabs

After a bit, we got a call to prepare a 3rd bed---another baby was found in the oven! This was 1988 and I still don't know how an ultrasound missed a fetus.

as my dad used to say when he, as a 50-ish Brit posted with young US troops in postwar Okinawa who played the radio non-stop, "It's like an imbecile relative mumbling to himself in the corner".

11:13 pm

stid, Trev and I founded the Gt Dane Club of Quebec

11:13 pm

oooh! great play, AS! *must remember to check facebook in the morning*

11:13 pm

11:13 pm

I wish you could still have Danes. They are such cool dogs.

11:14 pm

11:21 pm

aussie -- fugeddabahdit -- it's a stinker full of unwords

11:21 pm

lots of people complained today about the grid!!

11:21 pm

hi jeffer! hi aussieme!

11:22 pm

hi jeffer

11:22 pm

lindy -- I was curious, did the leaf get crushed in transit?

11:22 pm

hi all

11:22 pm

I finished because I looked up lots in morewords and that's no fun -- but the video was worth it.

11:23 pm

the video was sooooo funny!

11:23 pm

uuummm they are flat to the card stid

11:23 pm

and the chat has been good when I was here

11:23 pm

11:24 pm

jill -- did you get your bday card?

11:24 pm

don't look crushed though

11:24 pm

well glad it looked good anyway. :-D every card (like every cooking experiment I conduct) turns out differently!

11:24 pm

not yet, stid -- it was a holiday weekend and mail was delayed even more than usual

11:25 pm

WOW Jilli, that is some article you wrote !! I have it saved, and my favorite line so far is : Punnet the Prestidigitator's Patented Practical Predictor !!

11:25 pm

oohh stid they do puff back up again!!

11:25 pm

oh -- that's right! I completely forgot. The silly thing, of course, is that I mailed yours and lindy's at the same time!

11:25 pm

rofl... Jill is GREAT with jingles!

11:25 pm

apparently grandson sent something from Montreal and was assured by the postal disservice that it would arrive by the 17th -- no sign of it yet.

11:26 pm
