I read your post and then looked for the x in the grid - duh
grin... no just a q.. think that's three days in a row?
flip later
i think you're right!
i mean late flip
hi harp!
harp - who is that in your icon?
Hi
welcome back herin ; )
Hi ho herin... did you get your stuff done?
some
Excellent!
Ok thats a fib. I got the house work done and a kitty got bathed. So much less molting
Sounds like plenty to me! I finished my cooking.
late flip; hi all!!
hi herin that's a lot accomplished
hi dee
The second bottom row looks like a misspelt marsupial!
Hi Dee!
he dee
I mean hi lol
itz either zz top or cherie blair depending on how often you refresh!
hi jandy, kj, west, herin
LOL, the former for me, harp! Or she would make a great ad for laser hair removal...
Hey back. I have to take the dvds back but first gossip chanel
the theme is beards of the world
thanks harp
Harp i keep seeing your pick and thinking of the Dr God
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
does she like it, herin?
Yep
Shes mental
unusual... bonus for you!
Yep. then she must be covered in cat spit
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
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!
LOL... Phillip... great name for a cat!
enough for tonight --- see you tomorrow :)
That is true and kitty is lovely
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
bye cyber
Very formal!
Oh pretty
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
but alas, it isn't a word
Hi Doug!
hi doug
My dog feels just the same, OHJ, although he is only a Rocko.
HI DOug. Also OHJ is all the kittys black?
hi doug
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
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?
Morning! How many words today? And how is everyone?
Steven Cray - father of supercomputing, is in the grid...
Hi Monkey
100 words
Hi Monkey... a nice tidy 100!
I see lots of phantom Dutch words again today. And real ones. That gets distracting.
nice to know ...relevent?
Thanks, kje!
hi monkey
And Jandy...
Phantom: ratchet
This grid would be much improved with the introduction of an E. I suppose it wouldn't be so petite then, though!
I still like my dyslexic marsupial on the second bottom row...
lol
I see it too. That is funny.
mmf
One of the phantom Dutch words is horeca
meaning, monkey?
Pretty much the faster-food industry. A fancy restaurant isn't a horeca, neither is a McDonalds, but all teh mid-range cafes are.
It also means the wholesale snack foods industry.
South Afrikaan word alert...
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!
Thanks, Doug, hadn't seen that oneyet.
Yeah, I should look up the etymology sometime.
midway - and going to bed - see you all later : )
Ok kiddies. I am going to drop off the dvds back soon
thanks, Doug, haven't seen it yet! LOL!
Night kje, thanks for all the fabulous clues!
Bye kje and Herin!
Later herin

Lots of words containing that northeast h...

Hugs & *poof*
Bye Dee... have a good day!

Bye!
Oh, c'mon, you'd think it'd take yada!
One of the sons of Sung is in the grid...the good one...
Alfred doug?
he's the only sung I know
only no f in the grid :(
Dr. Sung from Star Trek TNG, renowned scientist
darn.....knew I shoulda paid attention all those years that my son and hubby watched that :(
I feel like such a loser.... I had no idea either... sigh...
meh.....star trek ...loser...I don't think so !
Grin....
hi everyone
I think it's a boy thing!
Hi tpt!
Hi all -- no E, no S!!!
Phantom... crayon
im so dang bored
Indeed, jilli... interesting one
hi jilli and just
No er, no ed.
(((( westie)))!!
I see dee has finished already -- wow!
BRB.
I have to believe that she contacted more words....
and no........sheeeeaatttt
maybe
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
Lore was the bad boy...
LOL, west, very festive. And it should be a good investment for you come Christmas!
well, he'll do for the next theme, west!
My guy will do for both too
oh good I thought that was yesterdays I'm happy I can see into the future
I think all us noreaster's will be very happy to wait for that winter holiday
That is some facial hair, jilli....
Back, but the toddler monitor is making suspicious sounds.
I'm trying to get it changed to September
Making them or relaying them, Monkey???
don't mind waiting forever for that too westie
Good luck with that, west...
Relaying. Good point. It does make them sometimes, though, in response to signals from elsewhere. OK, got to go! Have fun all!
I just think it would be better without all that cold and snow
brb
hi and bye monkey
Bye Monkey!
Frequently mentioned tree in a particular Monty Python episode
You should try it here west... sometimes it's 42 degrees...
where jandy?
bleh
that's right it's your summer
That's it..
ummmm thinking it's our summer (supposed to be) westie
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!
oh jandy .....you can have my cold winter anytime you want
do you ever get back to cold winters jandy?
And people here always did the same Christmas lunch... mothers dropping from heat exhaustion everywhere from turning out a roast and all the trimmings!
We lived in St Louis for 2 Christmases west... that was Cold with a Capital C!! But sooooo pretty!
we all do crazy things in the name of tradition don't we?
lol winter in st louis.....lolol
Thanks Just1.. we get cold winters in Canberra by Australian standards, but nothing compared to you!
Not funny, Just... neither is summer in St Louis...
ooh I love that movie Meet Me In St. Louis especially when Judy sings that song
would much rather endure their summer than our winter that's fer dam sure!
We do west, fortunately, things are changing slowly to lighter meals with lots of seafood and champagne and mangoes and avocadoes etc...
Have yourself a merry little Christmas...
that's a Christmas dinner I would really enjoy jandy
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!
It's different but very good west.. kids in the pool or at the beach, lots of barbecuing...
well I can take heat alot better than cold......our just passed winter was a real bi^tch
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
You should emigrate, Just!!!
has the snow finally melted just?
florida in summer....acapulco anytime....yeah i know what hot humidity is......
way better than winter here
It is seriously like Bangkok... but Bangkok is like that every day!
will you be in Las Vegas in August?
have they set a date just?
yes westie except for the where they emptied all the snow from the trucks into mountains
yes I will west Aug 5 is the wedding date.....made my reservations already
Well ladies and gents.. I must away! Have a great evening, or sleep, or day!
night jandy
you too jandy happy everything
LOL west, that should cover it! Hope it works! POOF
you mentioned 8/8 and I just realized that's our new son-in-law's birthday
oh it was changed to 08/05 westie
and it's also the first day of the Olympics
is that why they changed it?
well think my son's wedding is more important to me than olympics in china...
I know that silly.
no .......cost a lot less on the 5th than the 8th....
8th being a friday....in las vegas....
sure thing
are you going to stay for awhile and make a holiday out of it?
I am also booking tickets for "Love" Cirque du Soleil Beatles music show then too :)
going from the 3rd to the 8th westie
mon to fri..
that will be nice
will be away fishing from July 12 to 19 in norther Ontario.... too :)
who'd have thought lol :)
you'll be so relaxed
were you planning to come her westie???
*here*
not this time around there's too much going on
Hello and good morning! Well, what kind for a gris do we have today...

Hmmm...

I'm sad but there's always next year
that's when the kids are coming home
ok......let's hope for next year then..
we stayed at the RI house this past Sat. the kitchen is coming along I think I'm really going to like it
cause if you'd a told me a month ago I'd be in Vegas......I'd a asked you what kind a drugs you were smokin'!
life is what happens while you're making other plans

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
lol
Ru this is why nerds will inherit earth we have a zombie plan
oh...and you consider yourself to be a nerd? .. I don't think so
YEp
phantom: misocainea
We have a zombie plan
if you say so babble
HI Babble
how many litres in a gallon??
I am unsure
errr
2.3?
4.546 liters
Hi all!
HI Mar
whew marmar saves the day
so if a shower is 2 gallons a minute.... that would be 9 litres a min??
yep
I'm an American living in Europe....have my conversion chart within arms reach at all times.
No idea
WOw and I was so impressed
Don't let me fool you. I 'm still recovering from BabRab's phantom, misocainea!
RU have you seen the rpg books we own
babble does that just to keep us all off balance
Have to go, bye!
ah, now I know where the hot water is going
no sorry herin
bye bye ajv
Bye ajv.
that conversion if for an imperial gallon
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.
Ahhhcccchhh....you're stealing my limelight here BabRab... Is there a difference?
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
I find lots of words that enable will not accept
thanks nonnie
Basically a zombie plan is a practical solution to a difficult problem
ok then, babrab, what is it for a US gallon?
Jill our gas is about the same
Hi Jilli. Wow, that is crazy. We're paying around 1,50 € per liter...so about the same as you I guess..
a liter is 3,785 US gallons
3.785
Wow, that's quite a difference! Learned something new today!
so that's $5.56 per US gallon and going up.
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
a US gallon is .833 of an imperial gallon
wait a minute...is a U.S. gallon 3.785 liters?
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
but at least he is cooked dead meat, mrP
infern, he takes 20 min showers
I have to stop before someone starts talking about monetary exchange rates
Bad Lickety
agio
Hello SPrite
sounds like a water buffalo
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?
hi jilli and lady
I turned it off after a while herin it was soo awful
howya doin, sprite?
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)
all we need is an s for a shoulda, coulda, woulda
lol ru
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!
not great, jilli. *hugs*
er.. marmar.. have a nice day..?
Try and have a good day mar
anyone I don't chase away just by greeting?
No Im still here
I am glad... thought I was something that smelled very unpleasantly.
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
no great enough to say hi to, though. Bye ruru.
Later Ru
Sprite where is the kids goin?
Oh, that sounded like I was complaining, I really wasn't. And "Goedemorgen" Spritey! I really do wish you all a wonderful day!
bye marmar
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?
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.
sprite -- I'm back -- sorry to hear things are not great
wb jilli. Glad not everybody runs the moment I enter ;)
I've just been trying to get NBT -- haven't done it yet
good morning everyone:)
it is a tough grid, I think. I haven't had a smooth series so far.
hello jean
hi jean, good morning!
I wish my mum rescued me from the school camp
can't find that southeastern T word
Which T Jil?
ta5.10 one of the Russian peoples
Hello everyone
Hi Lynxx
good morning lynxx:)
southeastern -- bottom right corner T
HI Jean
ok
Hi Jean - good to you you again
lynxxx to the rescue yet again!!! Thanks and hi!
HI Lynxx
thank you lynxx:)
Hi J. - what a great mo!
I wish I wasn't the only one following the handlebar moustache theme! I wanted to see the other choices!
cald
Moustaches creep me out
Isn't it amazing?
oooops soz wasnt even a word lol
I always have such problems changing my icon...sometimes they don't 'refresh' for a few days
herin, I prefer clean shaven
strange, lynxxx -- I haven't had that problem --- yet...
they have always weirded me out
well, my dad had a neat little military one
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
must dash hope to bbl, Happy Babbling everyone:)
Bye jean!
bye Jean
Later Jean
well, NBT, thanks to lynxxx -- now I'd like to get halfway -- need 2 more words
1 more now...
yay, halfway -- can go to bed now!
good going Jilli - this one looks like its going to be the same as yesterdays. Sweet dreams
Night Jill
no E, no S, no happy little endings... miserable thing
ok back... just been the evilest mother of all time...
I don't believe that, mrp!
What did you do?
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
wtg, mrp!
there is now 7 box fulls of her crap... including her valuables... in the garage.
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?
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
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.
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.
You are NOT evil!
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
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
It worked, though.
lol Jilli - I sometimes do similar stuff to my untidy husband
glad to hear it, lynxxx!
Now I must go to bed!
bye again Jilli
*poof*
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?
Hi Hydra
As long as you had a good break - as well as a good book or company
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!
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
Yes lynxxx, it is! No loon pants, though. I used to trip over the hems of mine.
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
loon pants? like bell bottoms?
Yes! They were cripplingly tight round bum and tum and huge round the hems. They'd wrap round your ankles and trip you up!
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.
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
Hi
I still have one of those belts. It's about 40 years old now and a bit faded, like moi.
wb
*whispers very softly: I finally could get back in*
lol Hydra
Hydra i was cooking. Sprite i had problems too
Hi herin. (hello sprite...)
Hi Sprite - your day not starting out well?
Tonights feast is beans sausages baked and mash potatoes with cream and veggies steamed
Lovely! Can I come?
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
They'll have gone cold by the time I get there. Green too! (LOL)
eww.
ewww hydra, lol
I bathed the cat today she is all fluffy
Hope I haven't spoiled them for you! I should hush ma mouth!
*giggles @ hydra* Thanks for making me laugh!
Nope no dramas at my end
Is he away all week Sprite? isn't it funny how just one person away makes for such a peaceful house
4 days, lyn! And yes, indeed. Will miss him, but will love the peace and quiet.
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
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?
hydra, that is tough!
We like to play Pants
You mean, say 'pants' for words beginning with 'p'? And wot's tough, sprite? Herin's sausages?
no, that game
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.
am trying to imagine myself playing it... I bet I would be out of the game right away, lol
Oh, I see! We did that with 'farts' as in A Bridge Too Fart, and Fart from the Madding Crowd!
LOL
OH i have to do that one thats funny
lol Hydra
The Godfarter
the fart pavillions
ha ha
Brilliant! I wouldn't go in there!
nor me!
great games for at a camp fire
um Farts of the Caribbean

Hey i resemble that remark
lol lady, good one
Nothing beats having a good laugh. Except maybe sex and chocolate? No, not even that. LOL, herin!
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
lolol Kazzer, brilliant!
Isn't sex a laugh
well... having sex, chocolate AND a good laugh. But that is rare.
if you get any
Great, Kazzer! You're a star.
Depends who you're doing it with, herin
Morning all. My contribution - a bridge too fart

I think The Emperor Farts Back wins the prize.
Hi Frances
hi Frances. Nice one!
Bridge of the River Fart
I think so too, sprite.
Another one 2 Fart 2 furious
Hi Frances

Way to go sprite!
lol lyn, nice one! And thanks.
Thank you lyn
and I just learned that putting straw on a roof starts with th, and not just t. Tried it about 5 times.
15 left no list
no list, but still 42 to find here
Is it me or is this a hard grid?
its hard
I am finding it extremely hard. Haven't had a smooth run for any period of time.
Was beginning to think I was having a few senior moments.
Bits and peices
don't tell me - but haven't got one 7 yet either
Just watched the trailer for Dark Night
I am finding one word, have to look for ages, then find another word. No 7s at all yet. Only 2 of the 6s.
Won't let me have ti*** meaning small
was it any good, lady?
Yes
woot got a 7
me too, an at7. Spanish watchtower.
ca 7
and I have a 7 phantom. The tail of a rodent.
morning folks how are we all today
so far, she has a cuddle toy, a pair of undies and pyjamas back... hmmm, doing well then :)
morning cool, battling with this grid, but having fun. And you?
Hi Cool
hi cool :)
ra7/36
Hey Cool sorry serving tea
trouble is now I finding it difficult to even find the simple ones
Sounds like one of the friends people Ross was going out with her
this board looks challenging
seems the same here, Kazzer. Down to 37. Still one 7 missing (lady's ca). Still only 2 of the 6s.
Cool it is but its not
Have the at7 and ca7. Can't find the ra7. Hi cool.
Ra 7 Sounds like one of the friends people Ross was going out with her
ra + sweeper clean the ***mney + to change is to **ter.
Thank you infernal. Got it now.

morning peoples!!
Hi Pink!
hiya pink :D *hug*
Hello pink.
hey lynxxx, sprite and frances how are you this am?
been better, pink, to be honest. But the grid and the ch4 are helping.
how are you today, pink?
im alright, like you, i've been better!
*hugs pink* At least we got a grid we can sink our teeth into :)
HI Pink
hello herin
Pink i hope you are well
ti5.12 ti & hea***, wea*** & happiness - to you all!
ah, thanks lyn, both for the word and the sentiment!
i'll be fine herin
I seem to have only 2 'sets' of words off 77 found. No wonder this is hard
5 left
good morning all, this looks like a tough grid
morning flosey!
hi flosey, almost done, and yes it is tough today!
Hi Flosey, not as bad as yesterdays
HI Flosey
thanks lynxxx, that's encouraging
hi pink, sprite, herin
fireworks... and a hilarious vid. Great one :D
phantom harmony, and crayon
!!!!!yahoooooooo sprite wtg!!!!!
Congrats Sprite!
lyn, I agree, no series at all
YAH SPRITE
4 left
go lady gooo!
go herin go!!
I hope you alll saw or rather listened to Nono's video yesterday about the unsolicited phonecalls - hysterical, laughed the whole way through
even showed it to my hubby, lyn, and he couldn't stop laughing :D
good! he needs a good belly laugh or two, how is he Sprite?
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?
whats a burnout sprite?
overworked and depressed and such, pink
Sprite - He is continuing to see the doctor/therapist?
he is, lyn, he started last week and will see her again this week.
congrats sprite - bit slow off the mark - been concentrating on the jaffa
he doesn't sleep at all well though, which does not help things.
thanks Kazzer :)
oh a breakdown, ok im with ya...at least now he acknowledges the fact that something is wrong, recovery starts from admission
very true, pink. Sorry, I thought burn-out was an international phrase nowadays.
no worries sprite **hugs**
*hugs right back*
Hi sorry i dropped out
back in a sec dinner needs dishes washe
I am going to hang out the laundry to dry in the garden. It seems to be lovely weather.
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
bye all, have a great evening and a wonderful day.
bye Spritey
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 :)
bye sprite, take care hun **hugs**
this is harder than I anticipated
(((((mrpresident))))))
I'm taking a short break too. nasty little critter isn't it MRP - like yesterdays
hb lynxxx
hi pink!! ((((hugs!))))
yes lynxx, didn't get to finish that bugger either!
Hey
bye bye all, see you tomorrow!!
Later Pink
see ya pink
done
thanks Lickety for the list

bye infern
time for a break from this difficult grid!
Hello again! Just a quick afternoon visit...
Got me fireworks so I am off to do some more work see some of you tomorrow
Congrats Kazzer!
how many words
100 total
thanks. i prefer them grids smaller rather than the monstrous 200plus words. how about you?
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.
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
hey guys, just reached the 1/2 way mark, havn't found a single 6 let alone a 7?!?
Good morning/afternoon, all. I have found 60 words but no 7's...
back again with first coffee of the day, perhaps that'll perk up this old brain
Hello all. Nono yr video yesterday was hysterical

hi nono - hilarious video yesterday!!!!!
hi lori
hi kje
Bottom 5 tiles greyed, mostly weird words tells me this grid is deceptive..... ***sigh*** My Lickety free plan may not come to fruition if this keeps up.....
LOL yes, I left a note in the chat log yesterday. Nono, that video made my whole day! Thanks again. :)
100 words--what a nice number. Hi all.
hello Scrabbler!
G'd morning Scrabbler
hi scrab
hi scrabs
Waaaahh, I didn't see the video---a link please?
Lilliann--where the heck have you been? I have been worrying about you.
I am so glad everyone got a good laugh on that. I debated a bit becuase it wasnt really a video but more a voice clip
another bitty grid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5z4Vs2 6-TI here it is Scrabbler
Mornin' carlee. Bottom 5 tiles were weird words.......
hi Carlee, its bity but a challenge none the less
ahh, thanks scrabs, but no need, i'm fine, normal dizzy days and builders in at the moment so been busy shouting at them and painting, and lurking in between
everyone is done????
hi carlee
Hi Scrabs & Carlee
not yet carlee .... about 3/4 done here
hi carlee - not done, 13 to go
I just started. I go from bottom to top. Greyed 'em out with monkeys, and suspended reality
i hope you are well scrabs :-)
Go Nono, Go kje go!
I have 8 left for my morning coffee - bye everyone, see you tomorrow
32 left and have to go and finish painting outside fence.bbl
Sleep tight Lynx!!!!!
almost, 2 to go and monkeying like crazy
bye lyn, sleep well
nit enite lynxxx
bye bye lyn sweet dreams!
bye lynxxx, sweet dreams
((Lilliann))--take care of yourself!
TY, Nono--I will look at it now.
enjoy Scrabbler!
I'm gonna go watch it again...
well...i have the w's greyed out
G'd morning flosey. Go go go!
hi there Lori, 1 to go, and really scratching my head
ahhhh, got it, Fireworks
woohoooo Congrats Flosey!!
hi6 was last word
<POMPOM TOSS> for flosey...w00t w00t
Congrats flosey!!!!
I'll stay a bit if anyone wants clues, otherwise back to bed, have picked up a nasty cold and will have to cancel lunch date with cousin I havent seen in 7 months
Congrats Flosey!
Oh flosey. :( I hope you feel better soon!
sorry to hear that flosey, it's a shame to have to cancel
yes, means won't see her again until October
feel better soon!
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.
she's sooo excited - first grandchild on the way
I have even sent prank typed letters to friends....geez, that isn't a federal postal offense, is it?
lol Scrabs! you prankster! hehee
LOL good for you Scrabbler. I LOVED that guy in the video. Hysterical. Congrats to uyour friend flosey!
thanks Lori
I thought it was very funny up until the last part about gays
WOOHOO Flosey - hope you feel better
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.
thanks kje
Yes, Bichon, that was over the top.
lmao Scrabs, wish I had been there!
and scrabbler, am sure your friends enjoy your pranks
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.....
It is fun to escape from reality--it is a vital part of my daily life.
am sure it helps relieve tense moments scrab
I'm sure it is Scrabbler. A little escapism is an important survival mechanism
I have to be careful that Boss Richard Head or Office Manager Ratched are not around--they frown on personal conversations and especially laughing.
***enjoying chat, forgetting what those little yellow tiles were for***
Yah, people like that like to make everyone miserable. Misery enjoys company.
well Scrab, I feel sorry for them, they must be awfully uptight
coffe beeping (thank god) BRB
back to bed now, bye all until tomorrow
Feel better soon flosey, have a ncie sleep.
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
thanks all, poof!
Bye Flosey--feel better. Take Echinacea, suck on zinc lozenges, drink a lot of Gatorade, and you will get better.
thanks Scrab. am doing that
It is a sick, toxic environment, Nono, but I make it better whenever possible.
can't imagine a peds practice without fun -
laughter has pulled me thru many rough times lately
morning all
morning Sadie
hiya nono
crat a
But Richard Head wants to be the focus--classic narcissist.
Hi sadie

G'd morning Sadie, sam
hiya scrabbler
hiya lori

my boss is a doctor - and he is awesome
Congrats Nono!

and fireowrks

Congrats kje!!!
Power, control + and insecure ego make people do evil things.
congrats kje
Yahoo, kje. I am 99 behind you--chatting, taking Scrabble turns, and checking e-mail has interfered with the word search. I'll have time for that tonight.

ah, the expression "ch**-ch++" - both words in grid...
G'd morning monty, jac, anyone I missed. yah monty. this is a "focus" grid. :)
Hi, Lori. Yes, it is.
good morning Lori - nice term th**, "focus grid"... - 33 down, 67 to go...

Hi, Dorens.

impressive lex !
hi luc, jac, and sorry but I have to run out to work now.. (fortunately i lucked out with a nice fourletter ending that yielded me several f letter words... so I am leaving with 60 to go) happy babbling
G'd morning Dorens
...and G'd bye Dorens.... :)
have a nice day Dorens - bye
have a good day dorens
that is 5 letter, not f letter... and it rhymes with what one might use to light a fire (in case you hadn't seen it yet)
Lex - your icon reminds me of Jimmy Edwards, a British comic actor, who began the Handlebar Club in 1947.
bye dorens
got it from the UK handlebar club website
My icon's one of the German members of the club.
greetings, Babblers!

Congrats Jac!

Thank you.:-) I finished off with three 'wo' words that I hadn't seen, even though they are clearly there.
Hey everyone
Afternoon all Congrats Jacs!! I am now appropriately icon dressed for the day (I think)
carlee - have you had that trademarked yet?
hey, lickety!
find the proper noun: big war conference in this city ?
Anyone seen the video yet from Chiley ?
hi Lickety and FM !!
could someone post a link here for me?
lol Lickety, your ears must be burning...my trademark ref was a bit tongue in cheek about the list being up! how goes it!
yep, tried it, luc! LOL
LOL, FM. I'd forgotten all about that poem.
hiya Fmitch and LIckety
nice one FM !
Hi y'all again
AsGreen - I think I sorted that out ;-) Although MLFAN12 and I Jinx the other day
G'd morning Lickety! ***bows at the feet of the lifesaving list*** Great video
Une, an easy winner - better luck next time all !...lol
I had too Jacs, amazing what the brain trauls up! Hello everyone *hapy grin*
LoriP - well done finishing - this grid looked very tricky
I know you have lickety - and we praise you everyday for this list. Must be nice walking around knowing people all over the world love you!!
this is such a funny video
*hapy grin to FM*** G'd morning :)
Luc, ta moustache est bien petite!
*****shows lickety list on left if he needs help w/tricky grid****
could someone please post a link to the video? thanks
hi, Lickety...have you seen my Babble Stats page?
c'est vrai Une...comparée aux autres ici présentes...
mornin babblers!
Lori finished too? wow, whats it like today, the grid that is?
:-D c'est une moustache un peu timide en comparaison!
it was a sticky grid
hi Eva !
congrats, lori!
AsGreen - http://tinyurl.com/4flgvy
Whoops - that was for Unaexioise
true Une ...but wh** it lacks in size, it makes it up in style !
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 ;-)
can I look too? :)
AsGreen - that's cheating ;-)
Yah, finished awhile ago ***did I mention Lickety and his list are omnipotent?***
Lickety...that is a compliment, indeed
I'm not looking, I'm not looking!
ok..lori... the wonean with the glasses on and off..is killing me
FM, the grid is weird, full of weird words, and just plain weird. DId I mention weird?
woman*
AS: not sure.
Hi everyone
Lickety (dumb question), did you write a program to build the list?
G'd morning Ema
In which case I will avoid the wierd wierdness and stich with the strange weirdness that is sudoku today
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
thanks for the link, lickety!
AS: is he on the web, at all?
LOLOL FM :)
oh, yeah, all over the web - and an "Oprah friend".... etc.
ok..apparently I am not here..so ...ill go...
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.
Well Im seeing ghosts then carlee!
Lickety - just watched the video. It's hilarious. They were really freaked out, weren't they?
***where'd carlee go?***
Lickety said a word, :)
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.
But licekty does it make you a coffee too?
Jacula - yeah - I watched it again - and showed mrp too - it is fun
and is the coffee strong? ****sigh
made it to 50 - BBL - happy babbling all - "POOF"
FMitch - it allows me to go to the kitchen to make my 3pm coffee ;-)
Yea monty! have a good day.
Bye monty nice to see you
AS: cool! I'm going to Google him, and add him to my arsenal of organizing sites.
very cool lickety (the programming that is)
oops, I said a word too
-----> 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
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...
As - Peter Walsh is your b-i-l? Seen him on "Clean Sweep" for a long time.(If it's same guy)
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.
some of us village elders are bordering on village geezers! LOL
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
Uni - that's him!
i know Lickety - i thought it would be something that might interest a number of babblers,,,
G'd morning Uni. :-) @ Une
I'm going to move the resource guide to a paid webhost this summer, I think
soooo many phantom words
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.
hey, lori :-)
Don't bring THAT up Uni.......
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
he's still pretty vicious! :) honestly, he's awesome
Night all!
(((((((Hugs Lickety))))))) - to both of you!
love to both of you, lickety
Take care Lickety, good to see ya.
thanks!
hugs and best of luck to mrp !
FM, I as well.
tx FM...
well, time to go - "ACTUAL POOF"
phantom #1 crayola
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.
Later monty!
I wonder if Monty's stats can explain the bizarre discrepancies in rankings from time to time..
I think one of the reasons I am successful at being disorganized, is the discipline involved, to not do it.
sorry, had to step out....still do....bbs
If only there was money in being disorganized and slothenly. Maybe a book. It might sell.
The Anti Get Organised Encyclpedia - I can see it on the best seller list now1
I'll call it B.O. Bad Organization
LOL!
M.E.S.S. Mothers Eschewing Safety Standards? :-)
either I am slow today - or this grid is
it's the grid, lex . . . plodding thru . . . 31 to go with no list so far
Go Une go! Nice job.
tx lori :-)
hello babble!
hey, pink!
hints for the Top A or the Bottom T in the right-hand column?
hey, unea!
bottom t sounds like creamy sauce for fish
fireworks for me.
at5 perfume oil
Congrats Angel
congrats, angel!!
how long?
Congrats Angel! G'd morning pink ***hugs***
hey lori ***hugs***
pink, where? ohe there you are Afternoon :)
hello fmitch lol
Greetings, Good Citizens of Babbletopia.
morning, vi!
Hmmm... maybe I need to quickly go and grow out my beard!
chat
yes and hurry! LOL
SOrry!
Just saying what I'm doing, ha ha
Helloooooo Vi
50 down, 50 to go...
Helllooooooo, FM!
have 10 ch's -- are there more?
Hang on...
27 to go . . . feeling a powerful pull from the list . . .
I applaud you all in your determination. Today I am wimping out and watching from the sidelines :)
setting up a tailgate, fmitch?
picnicking on the periphery?
Hazarding a guess would that be something to do with food?
yes! just realized it wouldn't mean a thing to you! LOL
LOL
ahh, is picknicking a purely american term?
is it? I assume that's the case for tailgating . . .
ok, I'm back again....77 to go - feeling same pull that Une is .... :)
(Okay, I've got a beard. Not a very exciting one, but at least it counts.)
No EvaN it was the tailgate word and its implications that is USA
ahh, that makes more sense -- i thought picknicking mightve been more broad, but i could see tailgaiting as solidly american...
fresh pot of coffee ready . . . BRB
bring me some Une? ****refilling weak cup too*****
A tentative beard Vi but a beard none the less.
Well, we can't all have exultantly aggressive beards, now can we.
BRB all, gotta toast my bagel!
When I was looking for my icon I wondered if perhaps yo uhad illustrated the Lear limerick
Some of them wo5 be fun, but after all if Lear illustrated them himself, who am I to think I could do better?
Besides, he cheats using the same line twice!
anybody have the corner T?
Or rhyming word anyway, I mean.
lex, it sounds like the creamy sauce you put on fish
ta5/10
True :)
*here ya go, green--fresh cuppa piping hot, STRONG coffee*
Hey, lex, we have the same icon today.
you ROCK Une - I think my coffee cooked up a bit on the burner, a little better
:-D
I love STRONG coffee. Cowboy coffee.
I love STRONG coffee. Cowboy coffee.
I love STRONG coffee. Cowboy coffee.
Can I say that again? LOL!
wow Bzzz - you must have had some already?
You really do, don't you!
Not enough, green. =)
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.
Bea is BUZZIN' today!! LOL
hey bzz - I see that
*applause for Vi*
hello all! HORCHATA is my phantom today! a delicious latin drink!
*bows modestly*
sorry....brb
thanks uni
yay for tasted bagel with cheese!
toasted*
hi everyone in Babbleland
now thats a Freudian slip EvaN
lol
i AM starving...heh
Im hungry and thirsty, pootles off towards the kitchen back in a tick or two
You know, it scares me when I get those babblets.
babblets are your friend, bea
I know, but when you start seeing those silly words, you know you have been doing this too long. =)
Shhh do no speak of these things it will scare the new ones *giggle*
Then I guess it would also be bad to moan and groan about how miserable this grid is?
Im sorry FMitch can't come to the log right now, she is making tea and putting a sensible head on.
Oh darn. FM's sensible head is lovely to look at, but not nearly so much fun.
It is miserable, Vi. No flow.
Exactly, BzznBea. No flow at all.
There's no E, that's why!
Or s.
Looking at grid porperly for the first time, it does look rather yucky
.. but intreaguing nonetheless
Intriguing would be a euphemism, I'm afraid.
you just said a word Vi
have sent my mustache icon to the background--bringing back irate monkey!
Oh, so I did. Blllgh.
Great icon change Une
Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do, Une!
:-D
ok, 25 to go . . . tossing in the towel and heading to the list . . . harumph
me no like grid
Okay, passed halfway. Now I must do something else for a bit. Back later. Just don't ask me why I'll be back.
Toodles Vi
later, vi :-)

feeling stupid is when you play with haz! she gives these elegant, obscure clues and you just sit there in perplexity
We're all in this together, crpw :)
hi everyone--- been lurking getting clues, really helps cause this grid is a little difficult
like essence of rose??
Gods, jasmine, I know just what you mean! It's worse because you know she's not doing it on purpose.
yes Haz is a master clue giver
atcha - should be a word
Back for more punishment. Haz, are you flexing your brain again?
like back atcha!
xactlee
add black goo, *** baby
i haven'
I don't think Haz is even here, judi, we're just gossipping behind her back. :)
seen haz in a while. not on the same time as me, i think
but not meanly. haz is awesome
google gave me rose oil
*Whimper* Back hurts. Took half a percocet, but it's not helping. Wrenched it pruning the rhodos last night.
Ouch!
norman mailer said he liked to play the NYT crossword puzzle because it was like "combing his brain." that is exactly how i feel about babble

40 left
thank br, don't know verdelle smith but I'll look her up! (him?)
Babble is so educational!
anyone have the ar6?
could someone clue the lone a?
lone a?
ar6 ar4 + 3ltr word for sick minus L
you mean minus the a?
no minus an L
ai5 a + the i word
isn't the lone a the one that is just like a female dog/ derog for woman word?
got it, sounds like H
well there is more than one three letter word for sick, and one of them, would involve removing an A
oh...i was thinking ail for sick
ar6 ar4 + dotted vowel and line consonant
okay then remove the a
which I did
thank you very much
i guess you and i think alike, sharon!
apparently so, ....you look like someone from zz top
weird coincidence sharon, my name is sharon too, and I call my ex a three toed sloth, like your profile pic...
how about an at 7?
Hmmm?
lol. I have choicer names for my ex's
the zz top is only because it's beard day!
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.
lol
I happily celebrate my divorce date every year, it's my Unniversary!
oh that's great
lol jessmom
how long have you been happily single jessmom?
I have 2 unniversaries. And I'll not risk 3!
anyone have the at 7/36?
6 years, I've now erased the 4 1/2 years of marriage
good for you.
at 7 think of Une's clue, the sausage and rice dish jamb*****
i hate when zombie movies don't explain where the zombies came from
great clues
um, does that happen often evan?
dunno, but its happening in this one
which movie nut?
i need to know that there is some mutant virus or that brainwaves were scrambled by some random surger or that
I want this bumper sticker: My Zombie Ate Your Honor Student
I saw a great bumper sticker the other day that said "My karma ran over your dogma"
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
love it, jessmom!! LOL
maybe part of the movie will be for the nonzoms to figure out the cause?
if they do, i'll consider it redeemed
i want to see steven kings 'cell' turned into a movie
that would be cool nut, I liked the book
nonzoms, that's a word i just made up, pretty good huh?
which zombie movie are you watching?
i like nonzom
i'm watching house of the dead
haven't seen that one, >>>clicks over to netflix
George Romero's Diary of the Dead came out on DVD today, might check that out
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
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.
watch MST 3K zombie movies, then you get to laugh a lot!
it's horror, are we ever looking for that?
Zombie movies. Now there's a genre that's been done to death (pun intended).
you have to eat cracker when you watch my zombie movies, cause they are so cheesy!
I can handle bad, but not "Make Them Die Slowly" bad, I think that title refers to the audience...
i am legend was a good quality zombie movie, no crackers needed
9 left...
that's already on my list
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.
go ajv!
great in the theatre....watch out for fred okay
8...
24
i think we like that kind of movie, cause it can happen because it has happened
I miss at6/24, at5/10, da6/27, du5/14, la5/12, ra5/10, ra5/14 and ti5/12...
ti5 builds off ti4
need wo5/20 not the Question word
change 2nd vowel lex
at6 connect
thanks
the scary scenes aren't even scary...
ty for at!
at5 at + road sealant
i want them all to die...and i'm not talking about the zombies
du5 du + someone who doesn't tell the truth is a ***r
Thank you for du5!Can't figure ti5 and at5...
Thank you for du5! Can't figure ti5 and at5...
da6 da4/5 + **e bread, great w/ pastrami
Ty! That ''e bread is absolutely great with butter and cheese.
ti5 rhymes with extreme dirt f**** ti4 + cons
at5 has same ending as 2nd ta5/10
ra5/14 same ending as the i word
ra5/10 ra + opp of short minus L
Thank you, jessmom!
Thank you, jessmom!
*goes to get more crackers to keep up with the cheese*
My final pair is la5/12 and that violent ti5/12. That ti is too much for my brains today...
la5/12 cafe au la** + same cons as other la5s
Got it! These are very strange words for me...
ti5/12 ti4 + use same last letter as the la5 (if you had a lisp, the plural of the ti4 would sound like this)
thank you! I was struggling with a wrong t... But now I've got 100 words, but no fireworks...
your lickety doesn't match your babble perhaps?
refresh?
been here longer than 2 weeks without going pro perhaps?
Yes, so if I don't have any stats panels, I don't see any fireworks...
correct =\
aha...a pond of water that bubbles without explanation...hmmm
at 7/36 ?
And Babble doesn't even tell me that I have completed...
ajv if you dont have pro it wont
no fireworks or anything you have to look at both lists to see if you have finished or not
nut are you going to continue the show with House of the Dead 2: All Guts, No Glory?
just looked at Netflix...
So I must really think about professionality... But bye now and thank you for all the clues!
well congrats anyway ajv
at7 at + sausage & rice dish jamb*****

Oh I thought maybe you headed backward at 30 or 40.....
27 was my fave - but since I have a child who is 23 it kinda messes up that plan
*grin* no, not quite! though I can say that if I had started backward at 30 I would currently be *doing the math* about 18...
never go backwards when giving your age...add 5 years...thst way you always look great for your age!
unfortunately my late 20s and early thirties were pretty much lost to untreated post-partum depression.
hey stiddy!!!!!!!!
I look younger than I actually am... I can tell people I am 32 and they believe me! Until they see my kids.
Hey lindy! how's you today?

Head - right FM
Chatting all day? I've been working, honest. Ha ha very funny
hysterectomy & corrective surgery
hmmmmm, well, from what my Mom says, don't do ANYTHING to make yourself laugh over the next two weeks
if it's like mine was - awful recovery but then SOOOO much better - worth in the long run
but at least you get to dispose of all those girl products in the closet (or better yet, donate!!)
gotta scoot, dryer jsut buzzed. Lindrick, take care. you will be in my prayers. So good to see everyone again. Bye foe now
but the faster you work those muscles the faster they are better
Heck, no laughter? Lind will have to stay away from Babble for a bit then
is it EVER going to stop raining in NJ??
just*
bye Mom
thanks mom bye
bye bye AsGreen
And there are those who say laughter is the best medicine. guess not.
you'll have a great day - and then PAY for it the next and ......until you are Prefect like me! hehehehe
:) bye bye Lindrick, see you soon
You're a prefect, lexlee?
I mean perfect
that too
*snickers*
maybe she is a perfect prefect?
wow, no girlie things and you become the prefect? Think hard Lind, very very hard
phone brb
are you snickering at my prefection??
I'm actually not surprised that Lexlee is a prefect
the down side is???? oh can't think of one (well the IV)
smugness abounding - would be the cue for Ata to appear *sniff* if she were here :(
Yep. =D
I hate this grid - lol
working at a school and all - I pulled some strings
where in fact IS Ata?
sorry guys i'll just catch up on the chat and then chat again
Oregan, oregon? USA
Ata is away in her enormous subterranean caverns inspecting the droid army with which she plans to conquer the Earth.
2nd is correct
firewords
Shhhhhh Vi that WAS supposed to be a secret sheesh!
Ooops! I mean she's in Oregon. YEah, that's it!
GO JILLI - I think our guys are brothers

Nice and quiet, going to morewords with this nasty little thing...
I hate this grid

We are all following the theme YaY
Exactly, lexlee. It's all my imagination. Absolutely. Because anything else would be absolutely absurd.
WTG jilli
I'm going to have to dash -- bro- and sis-in-law arriving momentarily
I will try not to laugh and all the other stuff you said guys

Vic getting more votes - but that surgery thing gives you many points
Votes? What am I a candidate for, President of the Galaxy?
Lex what are you twittering about??!! LOL
I am neither sufficiently narcissistic nor sufficiently masochistic for that job.
me neither Vicuna!! LOL
Therefore I nominate FM. Heh heh.
LOL
I second that motion!!
Ah wel, er, I don't think so
PREFECTS darlings
oohh
although as I do already get the blame for everything I am probably qualified.
All those in favor of making FM do it, say "aye"...
AYE!!
Oh, prefect is it? What about Head Girl?
nay
That's me
lexleeanne probably wants the job herself.
nm - you guys wrecked the whole plan - I'm not playing anymore ***takes ball and goes home***
Now look what you did!
*looks blankly at Lindrickway*
Hey Lind what time is ur surgery ???

Ouch, cannon balls are a tad hearvy Vi
oh wb lex are you playing now?
(Uh oh, watch out! This could get crazy!)
**bounces even higher than new balls***
Sorry, FM. I guess you just aren't as strong as I am.
I can see I will have to stay out of chat for a while if I am not allowed to laugh!!
We can do sensible if you like Lind, honest we can, go on show her girls...
am waiting for sincere apology for not following my plan for making Lindrickway happy about being a prefect after her surgery - like me
you are all crazy
and??

and it's taken you this long to figure that out dear Lind?
I feel right at home!! LOL
no I just thought i would say it again FM!!
*giggle* Vi has gone to quiet, an dI can't see her, anyone notice where she went?
I'm waiting **bounces ball alone***
So, do any of you need any good tips on proper care and rearing of children? Or perhaps how to dust efficiently?

we can start with la 4/7, 5/12. 4/4 and 4/6
at 7 at & vowel & what you do in bed & a vowel
hm. thanks lindy *thinking*
la 4/7 is the edging on a nice blouse
thx
la 5/12 la & an ending sounds like you have a lisp!!
la 4/4 sounds like a type of coffee
oh! got the AT 7!
la 4/6 sounds like very noisy but diff vowel
oh good stid, i couldn't think how else to clue it!!
well, I have to admit that "what you do in bed" gave me some strange imagery...
LOL

hi 6 is to do with a hernia
*sigh* always seeing it just as I ask

la 4/4 sounds like a type of coffee

la 4/6 very noisy diff first vowel

go asgreen go
just got crazy news about a friend here in town - she had a brain anyurism (sp?) yesterday! early 40s...they caught it and did surgery and she's in ICU for a couple of weeks, but prognosis is good - crazy!
good that they caught it in time asgreen
and they had no worry before hand!!
isn't it? she was at the gym working out - and all of a sudden got a massive headache and fell. Trainer called an ambulance - surgery right away...
very freaky but good in the end!
yes, I think so too...and lots of support - we'll all make dinners, etc.
How many 7's?
i knew working out at the gym was bad for you!!! LOL
yeah I had to make my own dinners asgreen!!
three 7's
my thoughts exactly Lind! though I went this morning!
that's why I never go lind!
Thats truly wonderful AsGreen, unfortunately a young (30s) woman, daughter in law of a dear friend passed away last week with the same complaint - very very sad
Oh good, then i've got them all!
2 phaeton
man after my own heart danf!! LOL
sooo sooo sad - I'm sorry to hear that Lynxxx. Kids?
aaaawww sorry to hear that lynx
*I meant 3, but you already had the answer, so i'm gonna hide for a bit!
Which is it? 2 or 3?
phae - If you have 3, it's 3! :)
there are 3 /7 in all phae
the video is cool today...makes me wish I was a twin
ok dan, i'll forgive you :-)
well, i could have had one wrong...;-)
AsG - no kids, but a wonderful stepmother to 2 boys who had a 'rotten' natural mother. She will be sorely missed by the boys and her adoring husband
what a shame lynxx
aaww are the boys young lynx?
--- UNO
go asgreen go
--- fireworks!! FINALLY
WTG asgreen WOOHOO
I did NOT like today's grid....sorry to complain!!

thanks dorens
will keep that in mind, thanks AS. already I've decided this is definitely a lickety list day
11 & 14 years, they had 5/6 years with her so her wonderful mothering has been throughout an important part of their life. They had such a bad start and she made such a difference to their lives. They will be better men because of her.
Congrats AsGreen
aaawww but a hard age to lose a 'mum' very sad
AS were you a similar age as Leslie Stansfield?
th 5,14 ???
sad lynxx...i wonder why things like that have to happen
th & what hangs off your shoulder marilyn

TY, dorens. There are 2 cha5s. If you have the gift of gab and a friendly demeanor you can cha5 people into liking you; if you're the opposite kind of person they're likely to be cha5 of you (change the last letter to the sometimes vowel)
And thanks to you too, lindrick

Hi everyone
haha--I am laughing at EJ's summary of this grid.
hi, Scrabbler. how's your monitor?
Still acting up--currently not in full living color. Then sometimes it suddenly brightens up.
I was asked this morning to be a webmaster for our homeowner's association.
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.
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.
it's not a paid job...just something I will help with.
hi all :)...i think I agree with EJ lol
LOL....It is kinda twisty, today.

Why Typhoid?
kje - be a nice girl now

my thought too...why typhoid?
he is getting a VISA to leave the country for 2 years as a Mormon Missionary
that was nice! I was saying what a great group this is
why a typhoid shot, planning travel?
yeah - very needle shy - like me -
ahhh
kajee is always nice :) xxx

HI TO!
My older son went to Germany for 2 years - this one is going to Hermosillo Mexico
curious - if we ever all met, do you think we'd still call each other scrabs, dawg, tor, dc, monkey, etc - LOL
cool
kej, probably
probably kje!!
one of my former coworkers was sent to Venice and to Florence for a year each.
no, kje, we'd go for stupid, moron, loudmouth, etc, LOL
we'd have to kajee! i can't remember everyone's real name!
Just when they are 19 or 20 and would be selfish and drunk - they are serving for 2 years - it makes nice men of them
kje, mayhap!
LOLOL Pam!!!
I don't have a real name ..
I'd not be a good missionary--too easily distracted/distractable
I think we would have to wear tees with our regular icons on them
i'l l call you torgie porgie
aaawww poor torgone!!!
i would NOT make a good missionary
there is a large group of mormon missionaries here in boston
TOR!! you are TOR!
LOL lexi - except that so many people change their icons daily!
be nice to those MM's they are like my sons and daughters -
they would need large teeshirts kje!! LOL
we'd know monkey
and lbd
friends from Utah came here and were shocked to see adds from the local stake here advertising on TV as 'mormons' LOL
yes, we'd definitely know monkey
help with the As from the upper right corner please ???
I call myself Scrabbler now, when I talk to myself...."Silly Scrabbler, now why did you do that?"
LOLOL scrabs
Sorry, lex, i ignore them. And, if they insist, I tell them that there is no place in their church for the likes of me...
i've always just been seain. this is only forum where people call me dc. :)
a + ti4/4 - to be off kilter
what did i miss... what would you "know' kajee
and i have become fond of "owl"
at5/10 of roses ..
I know - we tried to stray from the mormon nickname to our official name so there would be less confusion about our beliefs
there are a LOT of ads here, too, dcs
all at5 in the swaying ship
we want you all IN with us! LOLOLOL
Owl, can you turn your head 360 degrees?
at 6/24 - to stick something together, with screws, nails, glue, etc
real name = Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - many people thought we weren't Christians
you bet! ; )
at 5/10 - at + a sailor is an old ***
i am not an old ***!
LOL, lex. Thing is, I am an out lesbian and well, that just doesn't jive with the Mormon church.
true, leeanne, and many still don't think so, despite many an explanation.
kje - I thought that meant old salt
I feel bad for the mormons with all of the FLDS press....
a sailor is an old ... man? fart? salt?
well we love you though
not to mention the RLDS
well, since salt is not in the grid, think of another nickname that is...
no kidding - about FLDS - but has made for interesting classroom discussions
oooh, fart...that would be hubby!lol
OK - how about *** and feather
please is idol on now? i may have to take a break. not getting very far with this grid anyway
true, dcs!
RLDS changed their name for some funding about 10 years ago
Pam, how is Boston doing with the news of Teddy K?
what happened to the old drunkard, scrabbs?
helllloooo all
Shock, scrabs.
hi AK!!!
Hi Ak
OK the feather thing did it... TY kajee
BRB, gonna order sushi
dunno, TO, no TV here.
He has a malignant braintumor, dcs
hello, ak!
hey be nice, poor teddy has a brain tumor
is a sailor really called an old *** ???
teddy?
oh, i'd not heard, pam, i hope that goes as well as possible for him.
hi, ak!
yes
teddy kennedy
Monkey - I think she thought that up it's an old Salt
Ted kennedy, Lex
you have to admit that for one family they have had more than their share
yeah - brain tumor?? Not how I thought he's go...no disrespect intended
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...
agreed , knitter
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.
Well put, scrabs.
indeed, scrabbs, ty, well said.
it's a bad strain he has, though
last ta5 and or6, pls?
here here, scrabs!
who is/was mary??
no no no - they are also called tars - I know, my dad is an old tar
i'm watching a cool show right now about twin sisters, one got cancer of the cervix, so the other twin agreed to be a surrogate mom for the cancer sister, and it turns out she is carrying twins!
hi AK
or6 - like the flower change last cons
i find it rather sad. he has not always been a model citizen but he has done a lot for the working class
ta + *** and feather
wow monkey cool story
ah, steak ta5. ty
missinng an r for that dc...
wow, lil, neat story
My friend Mary, for whom I am the pediatrician, was diagnosed with brain cancer 2 days after being induced to deliver her 3rd baby, back in Oct, and it was a Tuesday, like today, when we got the horribly jolting news.
ah, ty, leeanne, i didn't know what the flower referred to earlier :)
ta5 the animal on starwars that luke cut and got INTO a tar***
she's in the hopsital now (in the show) starting labor
That's a neat story about the twins.
({({({({({(HUGS)})})})})})})}) Scrabs
take out that middle y
*r
scrabs - what a toughie to go through
the cancer twin had to have all her equipment taken out, but now she is cancer free
star wars reference are most always lost on me :) i'm a bad sci-fi geek
It still does not seem real, that she is fighting for survival and to keep being a great mom.
dc - use tar*** sauce on fish
POOR Mary - life is so heavy sometimes
never does seem real, does it, scrabs
oh, yes, i got the steak ta5 from...er...someone, ty leeanne :)
Yes, her diagnosis is certainly not fair for her, or her husband, or her 3 little kids.
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.
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....
i hate the dentist
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
there is always such a perspective change when you hear stories like that
Oh, dear, Lex--bless them all.
scrabs, what is an apicoectomy?
sounds like they made the best of it, lex
hope it goes well , scrabs
I am sorry for your friend's family, lex...
This oral surgeon was quite a hottie actually and very kind.
al5/10 please?
al5/10 please? tyvm
lol, scrabs
it was such a spiritual feeling - I can't describe it...but there was so much peace - she was remarried as per his request
no such thing as a nice dentist / oral surgeon ... all relatives of the marquis de sade
al5 cloth in the church
what you see in front of a church the al5
LOL ak
a; 5/10 found in a church
Monkey, I am in the 5% of people that have a failure after a root canal. the tip of a root is infected thus causing pain and swollen lymph nodes. the procedure removes the tip of the root---through the bone!
son be a dentist, you have a talent for causing great pain!
back to the *** and feather
ty seain
clue fo rthe ai5 please?
EEEEK scrab - could have gone all my life and not known that
ewwwwwwwwww scrab! sounds horribly painful, i'm so sorry
ai 5 a _+scratchy feeling
monkey - rhymes with bisnatch - the real word
aih name of letter between g and i
ouch!!!
ai5 that is
ai5 is the name of the letter H
lex--that reminds me of the Randy Pausch story...http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu /~pausch/
may it be as painless as possible, scrabbler
randy's book, the last lecture, has been #1 for several wks.
TY dc , and knitter, and lex, and nDan
seriously....painless and needleless
what the hell is bisnatch
i found that story to be fabulous scrabs, i admire him
how do you spell that word needle less
i remember running across that word when reading through the dictionary or encyclopedia, i forget which, some many moons ago
is that like bee-yotch ?
needleless, without a needle?
a great nonswearing name call
the twin is giving birth now!
my daughter thought it up
I am not worried about the physical pain, just the financial pain, as I have no dental insurance.
push !! pant, blow, pant blow
oh she can't push them out
bisnatch - don't you love it
Where can we see it, lex?
no acting out TV in here
I hope it goes well, scrabs!
ouch scrabs
Hahaha, AK!!!
ah, yes, i just got insurance again, scrabbler after going to doc twice this year, so yeah, i know how you feel.
especially not medical yuckies
they are going to do a Csection
ehh ehh ehh, puff puff puff
Caesarean was in yesterday's grid.
scalpel! boil some water
had 4 kids, 2 miscarriages, 1 apendectomy, 1 hysterectomy - enough realism for me
stop it knitter
oh that had to put her under general anesthesia
:)
Yep, lex, my abd/pelvis has many scars--looks like a road map
baby A is out!
how odd, my rommie's out late 2nd night in a row.
I have a BIG smile - should have made a zipper
Why is that odd, Seain?
la5s after the la4 border, pls?
it's a GIRL
it's not like him historically; i've lived here for 2.5 years
Better than being a squirrel.
lets name her gladys
let's not!
LOL
LOL
let's name her Squirrel
la5 l+rounded edge
1st la5 sounds like wood tool but has 3 toed sloth in middle
and the second one will be called Nut
la used to keep cupboard closed
who are we calling names? (sushi order placed!)
ty, leeanne, i need the 2 befor that one, pls :)
well where is baby #2
So we've settled it--the babies are Squirrel + Nut.
kajee, i'm watching a cool show on TV, a twin sister is giving birth to twins
1st la rhymes with religious F word
commerical break, knitter
and we're naming the newborns - do we hate them or something?
2nd ends in the semi-circular doorway/passage
we pause this labor for a word from our sponsor
got them??
no! why would you say that kajee?
LOL ak
LOL AK!
if that happened while i was giving birth i'd have killed somebody LOL
LOL knitter
ty, nDan!
you're calling 'em squirrel and nut?
***not listening not listening***
those are GREAT names!
I think sheep and ewwwwe
do you have any better ideas, kajee?
ty, leeanne, i most always miss that almost-religious LA LOL
dooming them to a life of future babbling with names like those!
i suppose you want Kathryn ?
lovin sheep and ewe
how about grid and monkey? fish and troll?
When I was a peds resident, in the NICU (Neonatal ICU) we were preparing for the arrival of premie twins, and I stayed in the unit while some others went to the delivery room. 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.
Natasha and Dudley
since you are the barer of tidings
you should shout hey ewe and they'd both listen!! LOL
one of my patients has twin girls named Tamika and Shamika
LOL lindy
igor and igine
we don't know the sex of the 2nd baby yet!
Dudleyette then
My sister and brother, twins, were born 2 months premature in 1964, and still weighed over 5 pounds each, LOL
i had great-uncles vern and verle; they died at 3 days.
ewwe works for either
baby A is Kelsey
do they weigh more than that now??
go all Southern on the 1st one and give it mom's maiden name :)
I like dudleyette
names in our practice: Unieque, Queenetrius, Ra'ed, Dak'toah (pronounced Dakota, duh).....
my friend has twins that were 7.15 & 8.1
i want an "N'
baby B is coming out!
LOL, yes, they do, Lex
where are you scrab
my husband was born premature < 4 # he is now 6'4" and 225 # -- i think it is amazing how the human body can grow
LOL ak
good I was born in 1964 and I weigh more than 5
I am in Babble Land, Lex, a safe haven!
waving at baby B
*passing TO an N*
it's a BOY
la5/12 please?
what US state
my mom was a bry birth at 7mos in 1948.
we'll call them Kelsey and Grammar
Dudley!!!
I live in western NY state.
Kelsey and Belsey
LOL monkey
which one, TO? the one like religious F**** or its anagram?
kel-c and kelsee
I'm a little surprised you get names like that up here
I weighed almost 10 lbs when I was born - that is why I wasn't named Heather
there
LOLOLOL knitter!
I'm in NC - I have a student named Jjshaun
kj - named Tons of Fun
why's that kje??
i missed the name of the boy...now the cancer twin is having a cat scan to see if she's cancer free
don't these parents realize that what is cute when you are 2 is not necessarily cute when you are 92? great grampa jjshauan??
Lex, our practice is a mix, and we also have large populations of yemenites + vietnamese
tyu sein i am ready to quit this grid has become boring
everything is normal!
b/c she thought heather should be a smaller person - the joke is that she named my younger sister Heather, who now stands 2 inches taller than me (5'8" and 5'10")
some people i knew named Leer named their daughter Crystal Shanda
no way DC!
LOL kje
oddly, years later, i met someone who went to school w/her at UNC
Yahoo for being cancer-free!!
way, monkey
it's just pronounced J shaun - I had to ask when I met him 3 years ago though
oh the boy twin is BURT ewwwwwwwwwwww
OMG! dc .. that is terrilbe
I know a Melody Horn who is deaf!!
LMAO!
Oh, my, Seain! I knew a boy named Justin Time A_____.
when my friend Karen Mayne had her daughter, I wanted her to be named Chow
LOL
LOL, monkey!!
LOL monkey
I once had a patient named Kellie Kelly.
how about Costa (Mayne) for a boy
oh i have to go now, Deadliest Catch is coming on!!!!!
my Uncle and cousin are Bert and Treb - get it

word lists were unhelpful :(
last ta 5/10: a mongol-type warrior? looks a lot like the sauce you dip fish sticks in
TA & road covering or even like the sauce that goes with fish
alternatively, TA + black sticky road goo
snap again, lindy!
ty, ty :)
LOL
that was my last. now I just gotta upload. I was ready to quit & go to bed. feeling exhausted after Dr. visit today
YAY tyger!!!!!
oh oh... are you feeling poorly tyger?
WTG tyger

Cya in a few days tyger
1st la 5/12?
mostly just tired, stid. got a referral to a rheumatologist for my ankle that's been giving me fits for the last month
thx, nonnie
oh good. maybe it'll be fixed soon then. Or at least less painful *gentle hugs tyger*
oh sorry i thought you were going, pleased you are staying!!
I don't either, stid, but I get lots of practice at gritting my teeth and doing it
la 5/12: la + neutral pronoun + letter after g
Lind, are you going to be gone from babble for a bit?
1st la5/12 archaic form for reclines
present perfect tense, Elizabethan English :)

my favourite wild flower is a poppy and not wild flower is a carnation!!! but I like all flowers
the only cut flowers I generally have are from my garden, and I have them so the plants keep blooming!

well if this card is anything to go by your artistry if great
A quick hi to you all to let you know I have fireworks!

congrats to you and your son, nbjasmine!
You must be very proud jas
what, lindy, i missed it.
WOW jasmine! kudos to her... and how are you going to keep her in line now? *thinking the teen years are very long*
tell me about you
i'm going in for surgery tomorrow jas
oops. sorry, didn't get the right pronoun on your kid.
did I say son? hmmm. you only said 12 year-old and I came to that conclusion... maybe because I have a son who is also a black belt
LOL stid!!
or is kid a girl? *totally confused mama look*
a boy- leif erik, after the explorer, and thanks for the interest
stid you are so funny
I like the name! *wondering if vikings made it to the far east and learned good fighting moves there...*
what surgery? i hope not too strenuos or serious
hysterectomy & corrective surgery jas
well dang. hope it goes well. corrective?
clue please for ra 4,7
*hmmm hmmm hmmm-hmmm-hmmm hm hmm-hmm hmmmmm hmmmmmm-hmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
hi hurshy
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmmm hmm-hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm*
my uterus is the size of a 28 week foetus and has caused all sorts of damage, but it will all be fixed tomorrow
ra 4/7 ra & I like **e in my drinks
no that's not right
hi hurshy. don't get the song you are humming
oh dear did you have a miscarriage
ra 4/7 & I like i*e in my drinks & sometimes vowel
oh, i just found au4 so i started humming it
no i have tumours and adenomyosis
thanks lind
okay - back. and heading straight to list.
wb autumn
wait, i have some catching up to do. jbv did you say yours is a black belt too? do tell.
yvw cwestexan
ca7?
Lind - I am only capable of doing one thing at a time. going to see how many I can get. and I am hiding chat....
oops. wandered off again... (sorry) had to get the kids starting showers and tuba practice
LOL autumn
tuba- a fabulous instrument
i admire all tuba players.
hey hurshy!
hey
just found hursh's song....
I decided to watch the Dancing with the Stars... my first time this season
okay, ca7.
It's a bit loud.... but the kid is happy.
ca7= ca+la4, + 3rd vowel
nbjasmine- yes, black belt at about the same age as yours, but he is now 23 - didn't keep up with it, though
I hate how the commercials are SO LOUD and the show isn't.
autumn DH will email you tomorrow evening
oh i hate that too stid
why not, jbv. i have the same concern.
I worry that he will like it so much that he wants to actually own one... even the trombone he owns is rather pricey.
and if Sid doesn't... *stern mama look* then I shall hop the next plane east and show up in the hospital waiting room!
ty nbj
oh cool i would love to meet you face to face!!
in high school, he kept active in Boy Scouts and played in a band, so other interests took over
*not doing well at ignoring ch4* Wait for me, Stid - I'll go with you....
autumn did you see my message?
woohoo visitors!!
i have da6 that's kinda rhymey with a yellow tweety bird, what's the other one?
my DH will email you tomorrow evening
he better email me.... let me know how you're doing... and treat you like the princess you are.
stid- my black belt just gave up alto sax. so sad. but he just didn't love it after year one
*checks to be sure lindy's tiara is sparkly enough*
hahahahhahahaha ME???!!!!
hursh- like back atcha
oh, that is too bad. I think the sax is my fav woodwind. Of course my boys are brass players (tuba, tbone and trumpet) only two kids...
lol, ok
brb need to get another drink
but I also think that playing any instrument for any length of time is good.
lindy's going to be up all night in the bathroom...
i had a neighbor in college who played tuba. he also fancied himself conductor and conducted in his underwear- in front of his window. all the neighborhood enoyed that! too bad he looked like a far side character
LOL jasmine! too funny
la5/12?
lindy - get me a margarita would you?
okay, I have to go play mama for a little bit. back soon.
one more to go can i please have a clue for la 5,14
add third vowel to la 4 befoe i
before it*
i have 2 la 5/14 - a tree and a door holder
mm, i meant the first la 5/12
oh- just like the la i described, but the thrid vowel is in the middle
I have the door holder...... tree????
ah ty
rhymes with forward m****!
typing is diff. tonite
thanks you hurshy!!!

*waves at departing hurshy* hello and YAY west!
LOL half the water is gone, coffee is too hot to drink quickly!!

arguing with my son about his pool party tomorrow
LOL jas
Got totally sidetracked - only have 22. The oldest niece is home for a visit - and to pack up stuff
go autumn go

hi jilli
stid was here a short while ago jilli and she didn't say goodbye yet
I can clue if needed
hi again lindy ;)
oh man... sorry -- wandered off again!
oh, I thought she did
wb stid
I am watching Dancing with the Stars...
yes, wb stid!
I'm watching CNN
I am, therefore, here-ish.
we'll shout if we want you then stid!!
I see what you mean -- saw the begining of Dancing, didn't like it
Lind - just popped on to wish you well tomorrow!
I can't watch CNN. I read so much faster than they talk, so I read the news online mostly...
aaww thanks asgreen i appreciate that
I have CNN on as background
I'm off to bed...see the rest of you tomorrow....and check back in soon Lind!
Jill -- I saw the other day that you are a life member in the Quebec Great Dane club...
i will do asgreen real soon
sweet dreams AS!
night asgreen
thx Stid - and dreams about SUN they will be!
night all *poof
and I read an article you wrote a long time ago about how to (sorta) predict and at least understand the way colors are passed on from parents to offspring.
that was way cool. :-D
oh wait, Stid, I JUST put down a "bingo" in a game - "alienage" - not bad, eh? ok now *poof for real*
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".
stid, Trev and I founded the Gt Dane Club of Quebec
oooh! great play, AS! *must remember to check facebook in the morning*
ah! that explains it! very cool.
and how, stid, did you find that article? Was it the Striptease?
I wish you could still have Danes. They are such cool dogs.
YES! it was the striptease! and someone had posted it... hold on I'll try to find it again.
start up another game w/me? ok, sandwiches for tomorrow are made, kitchen is closed, and I'm really off for real....G'NIGHT :) *POOF
http://www.netpets.com/dogs/reference/ genetics/striptease.html
okay AS! happy to do that!
Yes, they are. Real gentlefolk.
night asgreen
Wow -- must check that!
so... is anyone still trying to finish?
not me!!! lol
Hey Babble Family !! Not going to start this grid, will wait for the next one.....
aussie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lindy !!!!!!
{{Mama}}
Jilli !
jeffer !
hi jeffer
at 6 I at**** a stamp to my letter before i mail it
ooh! I can post that pic of lindy's card! brb
cool stid
Well, I'll be darned! I didn't know that article I wrote was online now! http://tinyurl.com/4x3mah if anyone cares
hi Aussie and Lindri ty for the clue!
Hi aussie!
yvw jeffer
how feasible is it to finish in less than 40 minutes ?
not an easy grid aussie, well i didn't think so!!
aussie -- fugeddabahdit -- it's a stinker full of unwords
lots of people complained today about the grid!!
hi jeffer! hi aussieme!
hi jeffer
lindy -- I was curious, did the leaf get crushed in transit?
hi all
I finished because I looked up lots in morewords and that's no fun -- but the video was worth it.
the video was sooooo funny!
uuummm they are flat to the card stid
and the chat has been good when I was here
okay, then yes. *sigh* oh well, hard to keep 3-d things pretty through the post.
jill -- did you get your bday card?
don't look crushed though
well glad it looked good anyway. :-D every card (like every cooking experiment I conduct) turns out differently!
not yet, stid -- it was a holiday weekend and mail was delayed even more than usual
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 !!
oohh stid they do puff back up again!!
oh -- that's right! I completely forgot. The silly thing, of course, is that I mailed yours and lindy's at the same time!
rofl... Jill is GREAT with jingles!
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.
Thanks, Aussie!
oh my. well, perhaps they will show up tomorrow
I like your beard, jill...
are you posting a pic of it stid??
I have a couple of treasured cards of yours around, stid -- thanks!
I can, if Jill wants a preview?
well, stid....thank goodness it's not MINE!
sure, stid!
I got a whole 26 words - totally sidetracked with the family and laughing at the youngest niece's facebook photoalbum
*grin* only your hairdresser knows, eh, Jill? ;-)
okay, I'll put it on flickr. brb
my beard, that is
fer sher
sutumn, that would have been much more fun than this nasty grid
Jill, you and stid can probably both link up to her photo album through my comment.
okay, it's up at flickr
go autumn go!
She's just moved into UBC residence, has no job, isn't attending class until Sept.... has no internet or TV
which comment autumn? *confused look*
(29 words now)
stid they have puffed back up and look exactly like your pic!!
Stid, thats a beautiful card for Jilli...
way cool! the best thing about origami is it's usually salvageable.
go into facebook and either on my newsfeed or on your newsfeed you should see that I made a comment on her photo
:-D I was pleased with how it turned out. Used one of my bestest papers for the backing! It has real leaves and stems embedded in it.
okay!
Autumn, who's the baby in your icon ?
Oh stid!!! That's fantastic! Lindy's too, you clever thing you!
my step-granddaughter
very, very cute !
*beaming* thanks Jill!
so I can blow on your card instead of candles!
autumn, I am so silly... I have to go look up your real name! LOL brb again

Mama, My MIL had surgery for a ruptured ulcer the other day!

oh yes, I knew about that, wondered if YOU were sore! LOL glad to hear she's doing okay
**any chocolate flowers kje*
