glad you've enjoyed it, lore!
herin ??
OMG !! NO !!
I swiped it from Babbler
Oh, that is unfortunate...I remember reading somewhere that the Tassies have an amazing ability to withstand pain...
Yep. Due to the fact of logging and DDT (which is not a carcinogen really its not (thats why it was banned in NSW in the 80's)
Oh -- hope the little guys stick around!
phantom # 5 : nicotine
Maybe the fact that there's some wine in the grid is what's slowing me down...yeah, that's it!
They have a cancer which is contagious. If they go Tasmania will likely get inundated with weeds and foxes as these little guys are natures effective vacuum cleaners.

Thanks Jilli, I thought it was just me
I have to work, but not till 2pm, then finish at midnight for 5 whole days Katie !
no not very friendy at all.
erk
indeed, sprite -- no fun, but the video was
indeed so, jilli :D It was so worth it!
you lucky devil, mind you I have been off for over three weeks and only have to do two days this week and four the next so I can't complain
ah Katie, but then I have to do 7 in a row when I go back, so not looking forward to that.
I admire all you guys who work in shifts and make it work for you. It must be exhausting in the extreme.
it is shattering sprite, especially with my hubby working the opp. shift to me.... we get 2 whole days in 3 weeks together.
argh Aussie, that is no fun :(
nope, no fun at all.
Better go and wake hubby up, he goes back today and is jet lagged so will need some persuading to get up, see you all later
mmmfph repeats of house tonight due to rugby final :(
enjoy, Katie, and *hug*
see you Katie
lots of monkeys in the Cs have finally got them greyed out
errrr you lost me there, lady. What are we talking about?
ok, off for some much-needed refreshment.... **putting dressing gown on**
brb...
woooot lobodana!
herin, there have been no Coronation Street episodes here for over a month because of %$#@&* hockey
thanks Princess
hah, found a biblical si* in the grid.
Telly show House has 2 or three episodes left till end of season but we have State of Origin (RUgby i think) so house is a repeat
talk later katie it was fun
ah, I see, thanks lady. I hate it when sport kills all other fun for those not caring about the game.
Thats Rude. Its rather irritating. I am happy i have 2 horror dvds to watch
Sprite the weekends here are shocking due to AFL
and AFL is?
Football
don't they know lots of people don't care about watching sports?
good morning everyone:)
Youd have to google it Sprite i just ignore its exsistence
Jilli we have a programme called Who do you think you are.. last night it was an english man he traced his family history back to the Jardines when they had a trading house in Shanghei made me think of you ... (they were trading opium) ... anyway they traced his history back to William the Conqueror very interesting
good morning Jean
hm... lobodana, what do you know about jilli that I don't? Trading opium makes you think of her??
hi jean, good morning!
Morning Jean
Jardines, Butterfield and Swire, etc -- big names in Sh'ai in those days
OH and Lore i just bought from catchoftheday.com.au GIANT beanbags x 2

bye jean
I did not slap you that hard, lady!
It was a reaction to tonights fluff news. Apparently you can budget $250 a week to live on at of about $500 a fortnight pay from the government. Yes i see that not working. I do and thats my months rent. I live on about $40 a fortnight after food and bills
yeah, the government cannot budget anything. We all know that.
I earn just over £300 a week. My Mortgage is almost £1000 a month, you do the math herin !
This is apparently handy hints for those living on that. Yes to budget money usually means you have it to budget right?
I know what you are saying herin.
let the government learn to budget their expenses first, before they start telling others how to.
Aussie that is about minimum wag in aus
lol Aussie... how on earth do you manage?
exactment sprite !
actually no its not
my Hubby earns the same sprite.
that still leaves you with about half the money you would need, Aussie :(
we pay our bills, there is always food in the fridge/freezer/cupboards, and a little left over for Georgias neccessities....
lol... then you are not telling me everything, Aussie. 300 + 300 is not even your mortgage, let alone the rest. Glad you found solutions, hun!
if we want holiday, we work overtime to pay for it.
its about $520 a week minimum wage and pensioners *seniors get about $546 for singles $465 each for couples
100 words found, now I have to go. I'll be back...
how does a single pensioner get more than a couple ?
bye for now, ajv!
bye ajv
My Parents were looking at getting a divorce to get more money to live but they decided not to. My Dad is nearly 70 and he still works
no idea, they don't here.
£300 per week sprite, we pay mortgage monthly
Because as a couple you get about $900 a fortnight.
ohhhhh ok! I am sorry, I thought monthly for some reason. Still tight though.
As i am living with someone as a housemate i get less rent assistance.
thats £300 per week each
thats harsh herin....
OK you get a discount for scription drugs but some people can take a lot of drugs a fortnight. I have seen elderly fork out $50 for their drugs discounted
I get mine for free with having diabetes here herin.
hmm, got the te7, hic
they changed the medical situation here again this year and my husband and I both had to pay 150 euro the very first month. That was 300 euro in january. Thanks, government.
ouch sprite.....
thanks jilli, found it from your clue without even looking at the grid, lol :D
I have about $50 a fortnight to live on after bills get paid
one te7, two te7, three te7, floor !!
how much is 300 euro in US dollars?
I pay a lot for prescription drugs -- one of them alone is $178 a month and there are others
hi shdybr, good to see you.
My b.f and believe that elderly and disabled should get $520 a week minimum
hi sprite
Hi Shady
1 Euro = 1.5658 U.S. dollars
hi herin!
:D
hey jilli
about $470 Us Shady
Yeks Jill thats expensive
$467.04 US Dollars shdy
But at least unlike the states its not a choice between food and medicine
wow, that's precise, aussie!
I reckon the people of babble should form their own country
evening all :)
Hello MR PRES
{{{{MrP}}}}
it can be, lady. First your medical insurance pays it all, then they send you a bill for all you need to pay yourself. So you don't know beforehand, unless you have read all the lists and documents and tiny print.
hi mrP
shdy, I googled a currency converter.
i have good insurance through my job, but one of my meds was changed last year, no longer a generic available, 90 pills = $480
darn, shdy, that is tough
ouch shdy !
errr MR PRES need to call me do so.
hi mrp -- how goes it wit your daughter?
ok, 6 more words to get me to 100, and then I must go for a bit....
the old med worked just as well, and had a generic, will be switching back as soon as I can find the time to go to the doc
I have to take antidepressants if i don't i go nuts I have paid just once which was $20 for a month. Gosh knows how people pay with a job
MR PREs that looks ugly that bone. HUgs.
the evil med is just for rosacea, keeps me from looking like an acne-faced teenager

strike of the monkeys. Intolerable. MrP, welcome back. You might want to scroll back a bit, lots of nice posts for you.
Rows, wake up!
oh thanks sprite! will do now
and LOL @ rude phone. Inconsiderate things, aren't they...
MrP :-) how are you doing?
my sis is on, but she's being antisocial and i think she has it minimised.
i ignore phones ;)
there are millions of reasons why your sis can be afk, Elsh, while appearing on line :)
no, i know, i'm chatting to her though ;)
she told me
she needs to be here and chatty more :p

I ate all the goodies
I'm taking some wedding cake in there, I seem to have enough left to feed about 80 people :-)
thats cus you have my bit!!
Do you want some posted over?
i'm off, i have to get to bed soon and i'm busy chatting with the Rows till i do! take care all!
I still haven't tried it yet & Bry put weight on in Mexico so we are on a diet!!
The husbands always get 'put upon' in here. I saw this today and thought it would make a nice change...............
night Elsh
Canada post you must be kidding no chance it will get here
One day a long, long time ago....there lived a woman who did not whine, nag or bitch....
yeah infern, arm looks like the back end of a dogs bone on a boring day stuck on the leash
she was the last of her race
But this was a long time ago...and it was just that one day.....The End
there did? where did she come from!!!!
brb, soccer drop off!
Lol lynxxx, that was very good :-)
Katie how was the para sailing? well the landing
lol lyn! Back, as you can see, with good news: am again hired to teach symbolism and spirituality in church next year!
*hugs mrP*
It was fantastic diem, wasn't so keen on looking down though :-) luckily they reel you in back to the boat so there was no swimming involved!!
congrats Sprite
wow Sprite, you continue to impress obviously
5th year now, lyn. And they also have a drs doing things in the same line... am always amazed they ask me back.
good for you Sprite grats
am very happy with it. It is wonderful to do and it brings in some much needed extra cash as well.
Katie, sounds scary but also like a big KICK!
Honestly we were shattered after it, Hubby is scared of heights so it was worse for him, however he did suggest it in the first place :-)
wait till the bobsled
good grief, finally found my past P. A ps8 no le4.
hmmmm hoped you had forgotten about that :-) good job we got married before Bry found out, after all 'for better for worse' means he is on the bobsled with me!!!
He will be ok after he has done the the zip trek
beam me up, sc7/32
Oh he does know about the zip trek, I told him the trees aren't too high, might have missed out the river valley ;-)

Hi Haz
Good morning/evening all by the way.
I guess Flask missed my clue then.
Flask - try FMitch's clue - fine mud/so4/4. It's one letter different at the end from the grain container.
Flask - is it the si** where they store grains
The grain container being in my imagination rather than the grid....
I'm losing my marbles. It is in the grid.
that's it folks!!! fireworks!!! bbl to clue if needed.
*pick up marbles and pops them back in Haz's head. There there dear.
My address says it all. Ballymena Home for the Bewildered and Confused Gentlefolk.

Taking a break. I haven't got any 9's yet MM.
only one i've got is a qu9,72 it is an extension of the qu6,27, then there's a qu8,55, then the 9 is the plural of the 8.

hey rmcc... how goes?
oh boy..first I see rmcc..NOW I see how many words..yikes...to start or not?
hey carlee, just waiting for the okee dokee for my surgery on my foot. went daown and visited Deacon, oh, and his parents of course, he's a whopping 11lb now
wow... he's growing like a really bad weed
lol, lucinda's a very good moocow
i am just finishing making a couple dorodangos... and yes... she must be...
lol, carlee, i had to look that up. sounds fascinating
i was cruising around looking fro girl guide stuff..stumbled upon them yesterday... and I thought..hmmmm I wonder if i can..i have 2 matte black dorodangos... slate 'ish looking from the soil around me
i didn't get outter coating thick enough so I can't polish anymore..but they are smooth
i hope you mean from outside and not inside
yuppers
hello carlee, what are dorodangos used for
to look nice
they are mud balls... that u shape and shape and shape... and bring up the "cream" like the supper smooth surface of highly polished concrete....
and the balll takes on the mineral colour of the soil around u
http://www.dorodango.com/gallery.html
interesting
its a japanese thing ( duh..form the name) and you just spend quiet time..shaping and shaping... took about 10 hours overall yesterday
not continual 10 hours tho
i think i've seen them in pictures of japanese gardens
its..fun... I am planning on making a few at camp ... from the soil at camp....will give to each leader..
very relaxing..that for sure
and its amazing that a lump of mud ( litterally) turns into such a pretty object
interesting carlee
gone to shower
nite carlee. does anyone need clues?
Well, I have written down Lickety's list. Now it's good to continue in the evening Bye!
Hello all
ajv--you went pro--yahoo for you!
Where is everybody? Hello lurkers!
well it's bye from me. my darling is due home.see you all at the flip
Bye Grannyrose
bye granny
Hi flosey
hi Scrabbler
morning scrab
Hi littlebit--I haven't seen you here in a little bit.
hi littlebit
hi flosey
was just thinking myself, I don't think I've seen you before littlebit - am on at different time when at home
my computer died, didn't have it for a whole week!
hi flosey, scrabbler, littlebit....bye grannyrose thanks for all your help!
Hi Pink--are you done?
hi pink
hi pink
My sympathies, littlebit--how did you manage?
i wish lol
i kept busy making baby blankets for friends!
have 80 to go and it's really dragging
Knitting? Sewing?
I have 247 to go and it's really dragging.
crocheting
Nice, littlebit--I bet they are beautiful!
time for another coffee, bbs
people say they are. i used a yellow and green, mixed them together.
i got two of them done! not bad for a week.
hi scrabs
now i need to go. work awaits.
scrabs..i made something yesterday that u would find interesting
http://www.dorodango.com/gallery.html
or... not...
is that what I saw in the chat below--using mud?
Bye littlebit
yeap ... they are
Haha, I just now saw the Q...and their are 13 Q words
Those are beautiful, Carlee.
Hi Inge the Second!
they are cool..aren't they... and so easy... fun to do
'afternoon, folks! Walter's just now down for his nap after a successful visit from co-toddler Ryota, and I need a break, so you folks are stuck with me for a while.
How do you get them so smooth and perfect? And are they baked in a kiln?
It looks very therapeutic, too
MOrning, all!
Hi MG--I met a Dutchman the other day, but he doesn't know anyone named Sprite or MonkeyGames.
nope... and u just work them... and once dry..u polish...
what do you polish them with, Carlee?
a nylon stocking
If he's from Amsterdam or Haarlem he might know me, I suppose... my name's really Katrina.
wow, amazing, Carlee. I like.
i couldn't polishmine... my outer layer was not thick enough..but is still cool looking for a first go
I didn;t ask him which city he is from actually. he is a pediatrics resident at our children's hospital and I was trying to figure out his accent--sounded more Aussie or UK
There are more than 400 recognized Dutch accents and at least four dialects.
Wow! I wonder how many US accents there are?
Well, he was qu5 a nice young man and is taking very good care of our sick teen that has been hospitalized for 2 wks.
whoa, Monkey! All in Holland? Or does that include Dutch-speaking ex-colonies too?
I need 231 more words and yet I see none----arrggghh.
There are actually about 35 accents in Amsterdam alone. It's funny here that way.
And it makes it so much harder for a foreigner such as you to learn the language!
I really like the doctors here, Scrabbler.
He does not plan to return to Holland. he said, "It's a really small country."
Actually, excpt for dealing with the dialects it's not too rough... and it means that once ina while someone thinks I'm from 'way down south instead of out of the country.
It is a really small country, he's right about that.
I need to shower and get ready for work---long day as I volunteer at the cancer hospital from 4:30-6 after work.
have a good one scrabs
Enjoy the day everyone!
i am gone too... have a good day all
Bye, Scrabbler! Good for you, att!
bye scrabbler, and carlee!
Bye Carlee!
Att???? I meant too.
Only 222 left for tonight.

Hi EvaN, hope you weren't planning on achieving anything else as this grid is a little time consuming :)
since when do i ever plan on finishing? heh
very painful cramp i used to get it alot when i was expecting my first child,never had since luckily
LOL, in which case it will be a blast!
Hello, back again. Cramps - I used to suffer frequently with leg cramps, until I read that it was indicative of dehydration. Drink more water, no more cramps
Hi lynxx and it can be a sign that the body needs salt too
yes i heard that too
ive never experienced anything like that before...especially not in the middle of the night! i was almost in tears and i woke chris up to help me....
Hi jessic just seen your comment earlier, you're in UK too :)

Southern England Berkshire
lol - my family was well trained, would all come running when they heard blood-curdling screams in the middle of the nite ready to push those toes back
Urff I remember that feeling lynxx
WOW - what a GRID

t'wasn't a nice feeling, i'll say that!
Hey lex, it certainly is.

Beards today
Babbling at lunchtime is perfectly acceptable jess, thats what I tell myself anyway.

hints for the Upper O?
Breathless in Ballymena reporting a royal sighting...
okay how about a bearded lady?
who, who ?
Oh Really!!! so your thoughts were correct Haz??!
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall opened the new Town Hall extension this morning.
Also bananas
I just happened to have business to do in the travel agents next door. A glum policeman sat in on the proceedings...
Woohoo your dedctive skills outsurpass you!
Sherlock taught me well.
Glum polliceman sat in with you at the TA?
"just happened" I bet!
Yes, the travel agents have a back door that could potentially lead to the back of the Town Hall. If I had tried to get in that way he would have rugby tackled me.
ROFL
So long as you didn't have to include him in your trip.
Hi lynxx
No, he gets left behind. It was quite funny, though.
Back shortly.

Funny how some people in the class just don't get it! One was told, "Just write how you feel about what was said". She said, "You mean what I would do in that situation?" "No, how it makes you fee." "You mean what I think HE should do?" "No, how it makes you FEEL." "Oh! You mean find something in my past that is like what he was talking about!" And so on. Sigh.
Hi Saphyre
Bye again Owl, and hi sapphyre

Perhaps the UK is another port of call... there has to be a solution somewhere on this globe. Although, I look at the devastation of Burma and China and think "shut up" ... this is just a drop in the ocean for some
bye owl!
I am still getting goosebumps at the thought of 200,000 people lost in Burma... that is incredible! As bad as The Tsunami of Boxing Day
I wonder if there is anyone down in Melbourne for you MRP, have some fine doctors down here
OK, back. Decided to take teh dog out and THEN get a beer. Mr. P, all my best wishes go with you for all of this! I'm not oin here regularly enough to know quite what's wrong that you need to go so far afield to get put right, but I know it's been a long road and I'm sending you supportive thoughts.
Mr Pres France was looking at trying to get them tried under the UN convention for crimes against humanity
thanks monkey! My bio has some confronting stuff... explains some of it, but am slowly coming around and looking forward
Burma refused help... that is appalling for any humane society. We live in a complex world.
I feel that it is likely that they don't want to be seen as week
I feel that it is likely that they don't want to be seen as weak
The fact that our 'aid' didn't get through for 10 days is another thing all together. I pray for those poor souls with nothing and nowhere to go
I've read it now. Good heavens. If there is anything I can do please let me know. I know that sounds lame, but I mean it anyway.
Morning one and all!
This Sunday marks 3 weeks and still nothing
thank you monkey! the care I feel from people keeps my heart up and my spirits higher.
A big grid! Finally!
hi Bzz :)
corection, those IN POWER don't want to appear weak to their own people and the outside world - or let anyone actually know what is going on there
And the zit on my chin along with the turkish delight I am scoffing helps too!
too right lynxx. it is such a travisty
Irish coffee might go well with that, eh?
I think that's it, lynxxx. The Burmese military do not want the world to see the human rights violatons going on, so they're not letting anyone in. Although, not letting in aid is a HUGE human rights violation, not to mention cruel and nonsensical.
That is what i meant Lynxx but crappy at saying
I saw the phsychiatrist who 'dealt' with me back in the early 2000 -2003... he is very pleased with my progress.... from very p***ed off and wanting immediate results, to being accepting and strong. It makes me feel like I have grown as a human being for the sake of my kids. They do suffer for this.
I said earlier we need to have our own Babble Republic. Instead of wars there would be door slamming if someone got irate. ANd a well stocked pb
I'm sure they do. How old are they?
Mr Pres has little miss been behaving
loll, herein. Most severe punishment would be a fish slap.
they are 9 and 10 now... they were babies since the start.
It must be hard for them. But kids are also really good at dealing with this kind of thing. I'm sure they're OK, but I applaud you for thinking so much about their peace of mind.
hey pres - just read the profile - prayers are on hand
miss maddison has been behaving beautifully. She has earned back 3 pairs of underware, 2 long sleeve tops, a jacket, boots, sox and a jumper with a scarf... who would have thought that being so mean would work?
thanks lex :))
Brillant
she washed the floors, did the dishes, filled the dishwasher, vacuumed the floor in the lounge, cleaned down all the benches... and in getting stuff back on credit. Good girl now. I don't see her being a 'piggy' any longer
don't know what else to say - life is very heavy sometime...mine is heavy for me -yours for you
Good
yes lex, we all have our cross to drag around with us. I feel for all
But, I refuse to nail myself to my cross... I can't... my kids come first and foremost. They don't see the tears. But poor lickety cops it!
Mr Pres brillant plan
Say, off topic here, can anyone suggest a beef recipe? I want something a bit on the spicy side. I have chunks of beef for the barbecue, will be skewering them. I have 160 jarred spices and blends, and in the deck garden I have cilantro, bay, basil, sage, rosemary and so forth. I have ginger and garlic. I am tired of my usual spice blends and so forth. What would YOU do?
Oof, good for you but hard ON you (and Lickety)! Hang in there!
ah! have a great one foryou monkey! Let me get the link
Monkey. www.taste.com.au or www.allrecipes.com or www..mealopedia.com
Drooling with anticipation...
Thanks, Herin, will browse those post haste...
Monkey i also go by taste colour
http://www.recipezaar.com/303052... now use this with beef instead! is wonderful! let it really marinade!
Going to look at it now, Mr. P.
Say for instance. The pasta sauce needs something green
it is dead easy and delicious! Never a morsel left over
Oh yummmm! Lemme look up panang curry paste, make sure I have everything for it.
wow i am watching dare devil they used the same song for the funeral scene as for my uncle
any clues for te7 please?
OK, I will make that one soon instead of tonight (and I mean REAL soon!) because I need to go into town for the fresh galangal. Thank you, that's a great one!
brb need pie
Bye, Herin!
Sorry, flosey, no te's yet.
Flosey - te7 is a strong Mexican drink.
te7 take a bite of lemon with it
Hi, btw.
monkey, do you have paprika, garlic and capsicum? That is very yum too.
TE7 - there might be some left in the pb.
I do. Indian hot, Indian regular, and Hungarian paprice. So just toss it in those?
Hi Jac!
be with some cilantro?
MAYbe, I meant...
is sounding tasty already.
thanks Jacula, got it
http://www.recipezaar.com/303074... this is great to make... just make up the sauce and then let the meat marinade in it, bbq and enjoy... I would even add chilli
hi jac :)
Yumm! Thanks!
Mr.P. Just been reading your bio, latests news. I wish you the very best of luck in your search for an answer.
dont marinate in plastic
Last night I just marinated chicken breast cubes in soy sauce, lemon, honey, and chili flakes and grilled it. That was pretty good.
also hi Jac
No, Herin, thanks for the tip, but I know! I have a great earthenware marinating pot.
I like to marinate chicken breasts in italian dressing. Simple.
I my self didn't know till the other day
Hi, Herin.
thanks jac :)
I like to use Catalina Dressing for Apricot chicken
Have to make my own Italian dressing here. For some reason the Dutch have been slow to discover the joys of dressings.
bye for now time to set off collect the kids,
Bye jess Hello JAcs
Bye jessic4!
Karoo sauce (apricot based, South African sauce) is lovely on chicken.
i have to buy Catalina Dressing form USA foods same as the ranch dressing
Hi FM. Has Haz got dressed up and gone off wearing her hat cam yet?
Oops, Walter's waking up Got to go parent now. All the best to you, Mr. P., and to anyone else who needs supportive thoughts! And have fun, all!
She did and reported back and was right!

Hi Jasmin
I think all of the whiners about yesterday's grid
good, herin, and you, hope you are well
hello babble kids
i never whined about yesterdays. i enjoyed it
I am its very late. Im still hungry
exactly lex, that grid yesterday may have been small, but the words were deadly
I found yesturdays ok I am odd
I did I whined
you need to go to bed herin, then you won't feel hungry :)
this one seems hard to me...only 48 so for
I am waiting for my b.f to come home and dinner to digest
yesterday's was a challenge, but I like challenges, it was just the right size for one with hard words to find
ah, well maybe you'll get the grid done then :)
G'd morning Babblers! With 152 left, I bail to the reverend Lickety's list.....
ANd the need to talk to him about a few things. Like the mystery of USA foods having bare stock and something else but i have forgotten
hey loriP
hi Lori
HI Lori
Good morning Lori!
I love a big grid, unless it's a weirdo..... hey FM!
hi FMitch
It's a thinking grid Lori but if you feed up yr monkeys you will be fine
i would like it more if i had nothing else to do all day. i feel guilty taking that much time to do a big one. i like the small ones
Well, I totally seized up at 152, so Lickety's it is!
Never feel guilty about enjoying yourself nbjas. :)
I have 98 words feels like treacle
***throws monkeys extra nanners and slides open Lickety's***
Good lord. I'm only down to 218 and I'm banging my head against the keyboard. This is a sticky one.
YEs it is judi
Hey judi
That explains why I was stuck on the q. Some biggies were there. Got 'em now.
Biggies i have
hey lex how ya doin?
***back I go*** Go Judi go!
Lind??
hi FM
LIndy you here?
whachadoinghere?
I have to leave in 30 mins so I thought I pop in and say hi!!
hey lind - we have been holding group prayer for you
not there yet lex!!! but thanks
You true blue babbler you!
Lind Best wishes hun

LOL
thanks herin
was sending my mum & dad an email lex it is their 50th wedding anniversary today!!
Ill be there holding your hand in spirit
thanks herin
WOW - 50 years is awesome
love your fire truck herin!
don't think i'm gonna start this grid with only 30 minutes to spare today, I am such a busy girl!!
if I were holding your hand in spirit - I would have to be imagining - I was elsewhere and looking away - SUPER CHICKEN = ME
Wow is right! I think the 50th warrants more than an e-mail, Lin. Is there a big bash planned for them?
LOL
they are putting off any celebrating til after my surgery judi!
Well up until the bit they shove me away from the door of later return with happy drugs
i want lots herin!! LOL
I agree
lind- this grid would MAKE you sick if you tried to do it in 30 minutes
Well, that's considerate of them, Lin. Good luck on the surgery. Hope it's nothing serious.
wishing you LOTS of happy drugs
would rather stay here lex anddo the grid!!
and nice nurses
thanks judi, it is a hysterectomy & corrective surgery!!
they had better be nice nurses!
I know - but in 6-8 weeks you will be SSSOOO Happy you did it - I promise
We've arranged some decorative ones for you to look at after the op Lind.
I know I will lex
And remember Lind make sure your butt is covered when in that gown and wondering about
ep help, i bet it is a big fish
and good food - that someone else cooked
no way herin!!
ep9, tht is
decorative drugs FM????
no just let it all HANG out
LOL no male nurses!
I will lex, i figure if i'm suffering why shouldn't everyone else!! LOL
Ah. Well, you should receive LOTS of happy drugs for that. Better not watch Nip Tuck for a while.
who cares - never see those people again anyway
LOL FM
let 'em really remember you after you've left
Judi i love that show. I don't know why
nbj ep9 = ep7/36 - make it more so. The ep7 is a greek letter.
I just watched a video of an op just like mine judi, online!!
herin - like train wrecks too??
I remember when i was a kid asking for a sick pail in hospital and they ignored me so i was ill on the nurse.
that was dumb lind
no ep9 out there?
Um no comment Lex
I've watched it a few times, herin. Just couldn't get into it. Plus, it's on past my bed time. I prefer House and Boston Legal.
get her
no it wasn't lex it was good put my mind at rest!!
just clued it for you nbj
Hang on Jas let me see
wtg herin!!
apparently you chase firetrucks
thanks Fm
My icon is for my uncle
oh I like house judi
lind = much braver than me
off to the PB herin
That and i skipped a day (never said i was bright)
cool
LOL lex
Ta didn't have that one
I missed most of House the other night. I was pissed!
I missed it all judi i was pissed too!!
ah, thanks mitch. i had the 7, didn't know it could expand
At least you have House we have to put up with stupid replays. Also I think you can download it from the net
yw nbj, neither did I until my monkey opinted it out.
***looking for herins word***
Need 6 more 8 words mffph
Well, I caught the last 10 minutes of it. So much for suspense. I'll have to look on the net for it when I get home. Silly me, forgetting all about the modern cyber world.
Judi we are about 2 or 3 episodes behing
behind even
I now have my FIOS DVR set to record the series.
Is that like Tevo?
well i'd better go dry my hair before i go, so i will see you all in a few days, remember to look out for autumn moon, she will be able to update you on how i am doing. thanks for all your good vibes I can sure feel them! and happy babbling!!
Best wishes Lind
thanks herin
*waving bye as on the phone*
Bye, Lin! Love and stitches.
Love You!
bye FM
bye judi
love you too lex
what's with law and order special vics playing the same episode 3 time???
*poof*
GOOD luck!
hi all.
hey mkg
need clues for a 6 words
HI Mkg
Lex i have no idea with that one
Ooops. Work intrudes. BBL. *poof*
rat bastards i think they put a new episode of house with an old one
I gave up on house - it gets stupider every time -
oh my is this grid worth it? i have 156 words and cant seem to move beyond that. how can i clue for all the rest? time to go to work instead and forget it for today. but hey, if any clues are out therer for a six words i am here for 10 more minutes
I don't watch it as a regular thing
But there is 2 episodes left and they confused the two of them (or i did)
No clue please, but is the co 7/44 a fish word?
No Lori its a snickerty word
Awesome, then DENSA isn't as close as I thought...... Thanks FM ***back I go***
anyone have al 6 word?
Of the last two House episodes, the second last was my favourite ever and the last disappointed me altogether. Since the end of the writer's strike I have found every show to be extremely hit and miss. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes you know the writers rushed and didn't care about "quality".
ok i am not that smart but a clue or a def of the EP 9 would be great and no the extension of it is not clicking
al + ****tine gum helps you quit smokeing
al6 - al plus the beginnings of the last Emperor of Russia.
Thanks Uni that doesn't help my bad mood at missing it
*smokeing? ack...... ***pouts as she slides chat over. Hey Haz!
Uni that hammy is cute
Hello Uni and Haz
ep9 - descriptive of ep7/32 - the two thirds frozen ending
Hello all!
ty got al 6
Thanks didn't ahve the seven
I gave up on House with yesterdays episode - it has become SO.....stupid - I can't even think of a better description
an 6 word clues plz?
we don't get it till next week
yah hes home
ONe an6 word is descriptive of a flavouring, the other relates to a religious pouring of oil.
hello
yay lexi - it IS stupid
hey KJE
heh, got the co 7, ***inserts an anonymous thanks to FM, was trying to extend the 4......***
cool engine herin
so far from likely that I feel insulted that they think I buy any of ir
hey kje
haz got the religious one but not the other. please reclue.
it's almost scifi
Bows to Lori's impressive abilities
an6/21 is descriptive of the flavouring an5/10
I can think of more stupid things in the real world to worry about...beliefs that blow my mind. Fiction is where I want my stupid.
it's stupid - watched part of one when it 1st came out and couldn't tolerate it
suspension of belief is what it takes...that's fiction.
well did everthing i can think of to change last letter of the an 5 to the 6 and not getting it haz. hmmmmmm
oh got it haz ty
an 5 10 the second one haz? got first and third.
KJE i am a day early on that one
night all
an5/10 - a plural for an4/4
ty haz got it.
as 6?
as 6 is a normal word
Good bless Lickety! NEVER would have gotten the c's without the list, and the monkeys help. Coffee break!
mmm tea brb
It looks like no-one's going to babble in a dehydrated state.
I shall...someone needs to take the hit.
no luck with as 6. well on to at words. dont have the sixes there either.
***slurps coffee loudly, to see if anyone notices***
Hello, folks. I feel blessed by the transitive fame of Haz after her brush with royalty.
lori - be quiet
Im not babbling, just interjecting occasionally
I am available for any and all interviews which the media may request.
LOL, it is life altering isn't it. G'd morning Vic
Good morning VIcuna.
Excuse me, madam, can you tell us what it was like to be near the grey suit?
Hi Vi, wonder if we should call her Mrs Haz now or Maam?
Dame Haz, perhaps?
*Cameras flashing* Hazel, Hazel! Over here! "How was the Prince? Is it true that he kissed your cheek? Were you clothed? Was George there?"
This isn't a library, I can slurp if I wanna'...... Haz, might I request a small object that you have perhaps touched, in an attempt to have a piece of the experience?
LOL suddenly remember the PinK Haz
Well, I don't know that I've ever been quite so underwhelmed, to be honest. And you can call me anything you like, so long as it is respectful.
(Hey, FM, looks like our beards were a little early yesterday. But at least we're right on target for today.)
George didn't accompany me, no. We thought it would be bad form if he raised more of a crowd than Charles and Camilla.
Hello...how many today?
310
yea Vi and it saved having to get re attired today.
Were there any observers with cowbells? 310 phae, g'd morning
I'd rather have dinner with George than Charles. Especially as that would imply Haz rather than Camilla.
They didn't do a walkabout so no cheeks were kissed, nor did I have a chance to sweep a deep curtsey. A relief for me, who knows what shape I might have ended up?
qu9 help? i feel it should be obvious, but it isn't today
ouch! will never get that done
Nobody with cowbells either. No detectives speaking into their sleeves like the US president's guards.
But just imagine, Haz - if you had crumpled in a heap in the act of curtseying, courtesy would dictate that he'd have to pick you up.
No walk about, no flag, no bunting? One beings to wonder!
qu9 sounds like Elmer Fudds attempts to describe the sort of dresses with hoops as sported by Scarlett O'Hara.
Oh no he coudn't, it would ahve to be one of his aides
got the 6 jas? if so, extend it with opposite of out
But Vicuna - I would worry in case Camilla might say, in her best bass voice 'Put her down, Charles. You don't know where she's been'
Hee, hee, good clue, Haz! Too bad I'm not doing words today.
LOLOL awesome clue Haz. Well done!
dont have the 6 lori
lots of 5's
More worrisome if she had said "him" or "it" instead of her..
qu6 - to one of five children add the first two letters of Mr Hardy
start with qu 4/7 then jas opposite of out, then keep building......
That's all right. You'd still have been picked up.
lol haz, your elmer clue worked for me too... ty!
Glad it worked, Lady!
I'm still laffin', it's a great clue
phantoms for me today are citation and pissant
over my head
finally got the elmer fudd ref! couldn't think of the word
i'm still left with one Q
All hail Haz royal Queen of clues! Who needs the Prince?
is the word the dress's name?
unless it's the one formally known as Squggle
***sliding over chat to conquer the letter t***
Found it!!
Natts, your icon is wonderful!
lexie - it might be easier to follow the step by step build up from qu6 - if you have qu6 add the opposite of out and then plural. It'll become clear then , hopefully
thanks uni!
Uni off to the PB with you
Well, no one *needs* the prince, of course. It's just it's so much fun to have him gratuitously.
Oh, 69 words then! *saunters casually to PB*
it's the name of the dress, but the dress starts with a cr
Technically we need the prince as heir to the throne, but there are lots of others waiting.
could i just get the third letter on the th9? no more clue than that, if i may be picky
don't have qu6
lex- its the stiff under layers of the dress...
No!! sorry no 3rd letters nbj you know that
o, Jasmine. According to what I have it blocked in by, that is. I'm working on it too.
really? is that a "rule" here. did not know that
th9 builds on th5/12 - a wonderful Scots word meaning 'to bear, endure'. Th plus Spanish word of exaltation.
See who's contrary here....not I, It's FM.
lex, take the last qu5/16 , change last cons to a vowel and add stick letter for the qu6/27
Its not a rule its just one of those things
It's an unspoken, unwritten understanding. Just like the one George and I have.
That's a lot of 'un', Haz.
That one is unspoken by George, anyway. It's spoken of a fair bit by Haz.
Alas, duty calls. Farewell, fair friends.
George speaks fondly of me sometimes.
Bye Vicuna - it was good for you to see me again, I'm sure.
Indeed, Haz, it was! =)
Bye Vi, sorry nearly missed you there.
got the th, thanks. although haz's clue was clear as mud to me. feeling quite slow this morning, after several margaritas last night
Ah well. I understood it, at least.
and that counts, haz!
I'd start to panic if I couldn't understand my own clues. More pills would be needed.
i keep seeing sonata i the grid
Anyway, did you get the th9 or do you want another clue. I'll be kinder this time.
i could use an alternate for that th, haz
i got it, thanks.
i was glad to note the 9's were all new words to me. didn't feel quite so dumb. undoubtedly not new to you, haz
back - my shows are over
Okay, for LadyNatts, th5/12 is t plus what you dig in the ground. For th8 - add what you use (or other people) use to keep a garment together temporarily before sewing, Plural for th9
hi nance!
hey jasmine
There were some new words for me, jasmine, don't worry about that.
how you doin'?
Hello all. Wow, for a big grid, its got some tough words!!!
hi red and nance
oh, how very simple it seems... what the heck do they mean?
T's done, love it when big ones are built on small ones. 90 left. ***sigh***
They're used to provide a fulcrum for an oar (th8)
G'd afternoon to anyone who arrived
i'm good & hope you are
hey pab, lady, lori, haz & all
oh... well then. That would be why I've never heard of them before. Never had need to add a fulcrum to an oar.
ladynatts- i keep seeing your icon as a cannabis leaf, out of the corner of my eye.
Hi nance.
LOL
But when you do, LadyNatts, you're prepared.
Is Lindrick's surgery today, does anyone remember??
Hello nance!
lol nbj... halucinations?
yes right now is her surgery
Yes - she left a few min ago
yes it is
she was on earlier saying bye and all that
probably. morning after margarita hallucinations
Well, I think she will do well, I hope so. I guess we'll hear in a few days...
consolate
autumn moon is supposed to give us updates, red
Oh Good!!!
I'll be stuck in this grid all day for sure anyway.
Oops, though, Must go back to gym. See you all in a few hours.
Don't say that, Red. I don't have time to be stuck here all day, but I want to finish it.
I'm just over a third done, 111 words
I'm at 113, but I have to go back to the gym, pronto. Poof. Forgot I have an appointment!
Actually made it halfway! Have to take a break now.
Morning everyone (or afternoon or evening depending on your time zone!). My phantom for the day - peloton
So many 8 and 9 words!
hey cad
Hey Nance!
Right, Spangle has been very patient, but I really should take her out walking. See you later!
bye haz
Have a good walk Haz
Later Haz.

now that is good! happy for you
stid--I had a total knee replacement back in April
Oh no...anything major?I hope it isn't a mega set back.
well I am not sure
WOW. good for you. I hope you'll be able to do things this summer that you have missed.
have a major numb spot on opposite leg from the one that was operated on
goes back and forth between being numb and stinging and burning
oh, that doesn't sound good, praise. what does the doc say?
That's the one that was replaced years ago? Sounds awful...any reason forit?
then this morning I had an episode where both legs were tingling and I thought that I was going to pass out in shower
stid I go to see the ortho tomorrow morning
sympathetic dystrophy?
the therapist seems to think there is a nerve pinched somewhere
well, I will keep you in my thoughts praise. *crossing fingers that it is something minor*
I wish you well Praise...sounds like more tough roads.
jessmom what is sympathetic dystrophy?
ty stid and uni
I think I am going to need major help later on... got halfway last night and just grabbed the list. It's not going very fast.
I'm not even halfway yet, but am going cuckoo. Not up for this grid on a rainyday!
nice icon stid
I know very little about it, but my friend tore a ligament in her knee and ended up having burning and stinging in her foot
I'm only at 68 and not really seeing things well - may just bail for now and try to see better later...
thanks praise.
wow jessmom
have never heard of it
well kje... that sometimes works for me!
guess I will find out more tomorrow I guess
have had such a rough time all the way around with this surgery
good luck praise
totally different than the first knee replacement a couple of years ago
ty jessmom
that little episode in the shower about scared me half to death
I have known other people who experience that, praise -- differences in the way their bones knit back, or the way the appliance fits...
good evening everyone
do you have a little chair or stool in the shower, praise?
ooh! I got the EL 8!
hello orange cat!
no, but sounds like I need to look into getting one stid
okay, really tearing myself away this time. good bye and good luck on this grid. see you all tomorrow, maybe
yes, just for safety's sake. And when you don't need it in the shower, it would be great for working in the garden...
later jasmine! see you soon!
LOL I feel like an old woman
and I am just 44
another phantom for me = pisces
my sign
{{{praise}}} I have bad knees and hip and back... have been hobbling around for 20 years. (and about your age) -- I know it doesn't make it better, but perhaps less lonely to know there are others.
yes it does make it less lonely
I haven't needed joint replacement yet, but I know it's coming sooner or later.
I just am having a pity party for myself today
really praise - I am 44 too
*pulls out fancy dishes and nice tea cookies for pity party* then we should do it right, praise!
yeah I have a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks
aww ty stid
**I'll get the petit fors""
and we have to have some kind of chocolate
*grin*
*perk* did somebody say chocolate?
although I am trying like heck to stay away from it right now
how about a fresh fruit platter with chocolate fondue?? and cake...to dip
oh yes! I wasn't forgetting... Tom and the stidkid#2 made a lovely chocolate cake last night! with fudgy frosting!
have lost a little over 20 lbs. now
would like to keep it off
oh, I like the fondue idea! do you need to borrow my pot, or do you have one of your own
oh, this is calorie-free (but great tasting) stuff, praise. All the pleasure, none of the guilt.
well then we need some white chocolate too
brb phone
I will start pestering people for clues in when I hit 100
just giving you-all fair warning!
LOL! Can you hold off with the pestering until you hit 150?
no no -- I meant DOWN to 100. At 116 now.
*sulikng in corner cause no one will repeat haz' clue for qu8*
Well, then by all means...pester away.
oh TO! {{{hugs}}} I don't have that word (or the clue)
i know it begins with one of five
am trying very hard to at least get all the 4s out of the way...
TO, what Elemer Fudd might say to describe a skirt with hoops ***as close as I can remember it***
*Elmer Fudd
TO.... haz's clue for the qu9 went something like "Elmer Fudd attempt at saying the kind of dress worn by Scarlet in Gone with the Wind"
OMG!!!! ROFL!
oh, those clues are confusing me even more!!!!
Me too, stid.
lol.. great clue. got both of them! LOL
okay, breaking pattern to look at the Qs....
Will you stay out of the corner now TO? :-) G'd afternoon to all who arrived while I was grid wrestling
If you weren't Elmer Fudd, you'd start it with cr instead of qu
hello Lori...
Hey, Lori.
hols
*trying to think of the kind of dress Scarlett O'Hara wore* you know I haven't read the book or seen the movie in over 20 years...
holson

That all sounds perfectly normal - great!
do you have any names picked out Becca?
I just happened to be passing, glad to see you on - it's been a while. It seems no time since we were sending you to the ultrasound to see if it was triplets or not.
Some names chosen, but nothing definite yet
BRB - phone
We had fun choosing suitable names for the triplets. Milly Molly and Mandy would have been great.
LOL makes me think of my father in law
I'd better stir things in the kitchen.

When did we decide there were no triplets, anyway??

lex -- you have your old clothes and holiday decorations above the top floor of your house? in the at 5? and plural of course
yes I do...
the second AT 6 is A + t**** water (like seltzer water) and plural of course
TY
the second AT 7 changes the next-to last letter of the first to a vowel
I don't have the first AT 6 or 5 yet
The first at5 describes the Leaning Tower of Pisa
thanks haz *considering*
oh! got it!
at6/21- resembles the structure but uses different vowels for a type of curly script.
Good! hello all, by the way.
hm. curly script... like cursive? *thinking* {{hello}}
hello haz
hi Haz
ooh! GOT THAT ONE TOO!!!!
You're on a roll, stidmama!

probably a bagel, haz, my technique seems to have a few ho5!

lol
close beckers... LOL
good things it's not really a word.....
Haz, PS 8 please?
Hold onto your hat....
p plus a grain container, then the first letters of the artistic genre that Movieman is interested in.
okay Haz, thanks (I think) .... grain container. Hm.
got the grain container part...
Perhaps not so much a container as a store. It's in the grid, s4/4
For the last part, you could always reverse the first letters of the Christmas saint.
artistic genre??
oh! got it! we call it "movies" here... *grin*
hi again...clue for to6/18..SECOND one please?
Movieman likes to see movies/films - another term for that.
isn't that some sort of psychedelic thing from mushrooms?
hey flask!
Flask - think of a baby heavyweight.
I don't know
Hiya Stid!
Haz -- TO 8/40 after the sore throat organ?
Begin with a heavyweight, end with a word of permission
I was right... (how did I know that???)
ah....got it..thanks Haz!
to8 - describes the sore throat organ. (attach the beginning of the Camelot King)
You're welcome, Flask.
thanks haz - a couple that I actually got

They build on th5/12. t plus what you dig in the garden to plant something. Then add a metallic means of holding seams together temporarily
The th6 is the plural of the th5/12 that begins the sequence

You're welcome.
hi, anyone have hint/s for the pi 7/8 combo?
*eating more fish for the th 6* wonder if these would be better with chocolate sauce?
pi7 - pi plus the ending for the one-eyed eye glass.
And pi8 is the plural.
good clue on that one Haz!
Glad it helped, stid.
ty Haz ,that was very clear
struggling with teh RO 6/7 combo now...
ro6 - think of the weeping vegetable ending
got it right off, thanks Haz
and with 34 to go, I have to move around a bit... back soon!
See you, stid.
li8 please
li8 - plural for a word not in the grid - often accompanied by excuses?
The singular is a liturgical form of prayer, maybe that would be a better clue.
thanks Haz
You're welcome.
hi?
hi alejandra
i'm new on this!
hello everyone :-)
Hello alejandra and welcome back Mrs McG!
Thanks Haz, Dr God changed it for me when I was on honeymoon :-)
hi Katie
So are you back home again now? I noticed that you popped in a few times while you were away.
PHone...
Hi pab, we only came on looking for Mari to be honest the internet was too expensive!!
A good job you didn't insist on doing babble every day, then.
$8 dollars for 30 mins, todays would have bankrupted me!!
I wouldn't mind I only have 107 words and seem to have hit the wall
It's certainly one of those grids that needs working on.
wow katie, that is an expensive connection... *hugs* hi again!
Can someone help med with the no5/12 please??
"me" -- not med...
compass direction erda
thanks stid, we hardly spent anything on luckily enough so splashed out for 5 sessions on the internet, we were just so chilled there seemed no point in going to the spa
And it is ALWAYS something simple like that -- TY stidmama!!
OI please?
that's o-i...
if it makes you feel better Erda I missed it as well
I have all the OL words
Nice to have company, Katie....
chilled? as in comfortable and happy where you were? or chilled as in cold?

chilled as in happy and relaxed, the weather was fantastic each and every day
oi8 - an old fashioned term for li4/4 - or run together what you get from olives and material.

I gave up on facebook and cancelled my a/c
co8 - begin with a trick, add a vowel, then the bad breath ending (halit****)

IN 6/24 please?
in plus a word meaning a small section, or what you do to nails to cut them.
thanks haz!
You're welcome.
my last i word is the IN 7/28... does it build off the small body of water?
I'm sorry I still can't figure out that co7
No, stid, in, a vowel, plus where you might build a house (sounds like a sense)
pab: co and add the = word
co
co + e5/16
oh, thanks, like duh, keep forgetting that qu
oh! that made sense! thanks again
me too, pab. thanks for saying that!
The high point score is a good clue when there are q x etc in the grid.
EP 7,7,7,9 please?
stid the last 2 are greek 5th letter and then make it more so
ep7/32 - a three lettered prefix to the greek temple babblet and plural.
got them! glad I studied some greek...
(greek plural, that is)
woot! down to 7! thanks ladies!
that's awesome!
need the first two EL, the 6 and the fishy 5
el6 - el, a vowel, then a backwards nervous twitch.

thanks haz
You're welcome.
my last two are the last two AN 6s...
this grid has some of the most random words
Lovely lovely pics
I was just thinking that kparker...
an6/18 - a normal word
I love all the kilts! even the flower boy. everyone looked really happy.
at least it includes a drink to ease our pains ;)
an6/21 - descriptive of an5/10 the flavouring. Use the half frozen ending
oh geez. thanks haz
how normal is the an 6/18? should I just monkey until I find it?
It's very normal, especially in a church or religious setting.
I'm still trying to figure out the co8 clue from a while back...trick???
okay, *thinking* church, choir, prayer....
It is perfectly normal think in church sense
The trick I'm referring to has three letters. Three quarters of a pine fruit?
krysten, use the co 4/5 that precedes add a vowel and then opposite of "bro"
Think liquid, stid.
i go to church every week, you'd think I could figure it out
Kparker, think Psalm 23
URGH. thanks haz! we have liftoff!
ty, got it!
wow, congrats stid!!!
Hooray! Well done!

No problem.
te plus most of an old fashioned feather pen, finish with a vowel
lovely pictures Katie
thanks pab
Hello everyone, do I detect a few footie refugees here tonight? I've been at a course all day so I'm not going to attempt this grid, but thought I'd pop in to say hi before I go and play scrabulous!
Hi Liz, I'm on my laptop so am watching it at the same time :-)
Hello liz. Husband is watching in the other room. He's happy so far...
And you're probably right not to start. We've had emergency admissions to the Home for the Bewildered all day.
I'm glad he got back for it Haz
I've just heard loud footie noises from the next room, so I presume things are happening.
hello Haz and everyone !
For a big grid it is really really hard
So am I. Just hoping the phone stays quiet.
any clues for the at words...i can't believe i have none!
Hello Karys! How are you?
first and last is words please
at5/10 - describes the leaning tower of Pisa.
hi Karys and Krysten
I have been out all day, so only just started and capitulated at 124 to go for the list !
at5/12 and its plural - where you store your treasures above your head
Krysten, neither do I if that makes you feel any better
Hey pab...

all is well here Haz, thank you, and you and yours ?
thanks katie...it's been a bad grid for me this time...guess i got used to the smaller ones
is5/10 - is plus the first letters of the Paris river
thanks Haz
Fish me, Haz! I can't believe I didn't see the storage area! *smacks forehead*
We're well. I saw Prince Charles today - he opened the new arts centre in the town hall.
It's one of those grids, amelu. The words have to be prised out with crowbars.
can't believe i didn't get it either...and if by treasures you mean squirrels, then good clue!
Really !...now, did he say ' I recognise that lady, she's Haz from Babble ! ' ?
Haz, you're drawing me in with your clues..I must resist...I must resist...
You may treasure squirrels. Not sure that Dr Nut would agree.
I'm afraid not. I was just a face in a crowd.
I meant that they're the only thing in mine
Resist, liz. I promise you, it's a bit of a workload.
Liz, stay strong honestly it's horrible
Can't believe he didn't see you !... Have you seen him before ?, and did he look as you thought he should ?
This is how you know your friends in babble. When they tell you NOT to start.
Much footie noise and, dare I say, some swearie words. I take it that the ref is a little short sighted!!!
The last time I saw Prince Charles was in 1977, part of a Silver jubilee ceremony in Edinburgh. He has aged a bit. I look just the same....
ManU just had a great chance and were denied by a double save if that would provoke swearing? It did in our house!! They are 1-0 up
Lol Haz
But of course.... that's why he didn't recognise you, you are still the same, or even younger !!
Anyway, you can't you can't lure me with your siren calls, Haz, I'm away.
Exactly Karys. His eyes probably aren't what they were, either.
more lol
All the best, liz.
bye liz
Just like the ref, Haz. Byeeee.
Well I would definately agree there, but I won't go down that path !
bye liz !
talking of age has anyone seen the film 'The Bucket List', I watched it on the plane and am going to start my own due to an impending big birthday!!
I was in the travel agents next door to the town hall this morning - they had their resident police guard. One false move from me and I'd have been rugby tackled and carted off to the cells.
I haven't seen it, Katie but know the storyline.
Never mind about that !...where are you going ?
I had a meeting when he was visiting Leicester recently I've never seen so many police
Well, the idea behind it rather than the whole plot, you understand.
I havn't even seen anything about the film yet
We're going to Tanzania and Zanzibar in August.
I should point out the meeting was in the same building and not with him
Oh fantastic Haz, it should be lovely
The film has the basic things to do before you die theme, but it is very well put together.
ohh WOW Haz... that's fantastic !!....for how long and why was that chosen ?
oooo a big and busy grid today
216 words, I think I'm in trouble with this grid.
I watched it on May 5th and have managed to visit one of the seven wonders of the world and go parasailing since then :-)
My sister in law has been invited out to visit a friend who's doing a year in a Tanzanian orphanage. We're tagging along and making it into a holiday.
Sounds like I might enjoy that then Katie
K21 it's not just big it's evil!!!!!
uh-oh don't like the sounds of that Katie
ajv, I have only 133 words and i'm not getting much more now I have opened the list
that sounds really good Haz... I would love to come too !!
We hadn't intended to go back to Africa so soon, but it seems like a good opportunity.
Phone.
I'm so sleepy and I try to babble and watch football simultaneously...
I know what you mean I've got jet lag and the football on which is such a good match I keep getting distracted
Hi all, back from the gym, completeyl exhauste.

Jean, how goes you son in China...I know he was Ok, but how are things?
things are ok where he is
God knows how they are going to shelter 5m homeless people
Its sort of unfortunate timing with the Olympics coming up, perhaps they could use the "Olympic Village for the homeless instead of atheletes?
will never happen
Post Olympics, I suppose it might, but...not enough for 5 m...
no, not nearly enough, but hopefully they WILL put it to good use after the games
those poor suffering souls
I would hope the cash the Olympics brings in will be of some help.... I still think i have no concept of the size of China...so much land involved.
it's massive
hi again...a clue for lo4/5...the LAST one please?
like this grid...
this grid sucks moose
go up and to the right from the O flask

Very settled, NDan, its hot, but thats OK...

I prefer the heat to that cold this year in NM...but it is warm.
I should walk dog but frankly I am tired. He is asleep on the floor...seems to not have any interest in out either.
just relax & pull the te 7 40 from the grid to unwind
hi everyone, this grid is like pulling teeth out!!
LOL ndan... not sure I can make it off couch.

although I hear there were martinis there today
ooh, thanks cad, didn't have that one
ooooohhhh... thanks red!
I'm good, training a little harder than epected. job is average, fine, sometimes a little stressful...yesterday drove me nuts.
Yay, I just now tipped the 1/2 way point!

yay, kparker
well i hope it gets better for you red.have you been able to get out and about and sightsee

I still have 166 left...
Oh Its good Lilli, I just am spending a lot of time running, at the gym and swimming and get really tired. but...much stronger.
well atleast you'll be fitter red
Red, for what are you training?
I do need to get out some more...but...My camera is broken and Im aawaiting a new one.
Marathon in November, but right now...I am just training, no actual race coming up, and too early to be one a real trianing plan.
Your first?
hi all
I see your son in your icon is a crack runner!
Hi Liz
hi liz
My first. Each time i trian up i get an injury.
Hi Liz!!!
hi lilli
hi turtle...hi all :)
i love your icon liz
I have a friend from Mexico who runs marathons... she's 46 now
beautiful isn't it Lilli - its the sun setting on my last night in the desert
He is a sprinter, long srinter - as was I at that age. In my latter years - I've run several marathons and 12. Until a few years ago - injury/illness. After my July surgery I'm goping to get back to it. Hard to ecplain my tatoo when I'm 50 lbs overweight and can't run!
that is and half's
damn I cannot type.....
I figured that was the halfs. I like halfs. But I am not a sprinter.
I dont get warmed up easily...You'll be back at it in no time Cadfan!!
ro co
i bet it got cold at night liz
wheres the marathon that you are doing?
In Arkansas, of all places. It was a nice course, and raises cahs for a good cause, so I am going to do it...
It did Lilli - really cold but it was soooo amazing - I'm off to Peru trekking for the same charity in September next year
which charity Red?
oh, wow, loz, that'll be great.
Updated my icon so you can see the tattoo red
It raises for World Vision. I am also raising for Doctors without Borders. World Vision does good work, but I have a personal connection with Docs without Borders.
Ty Lilli :)
Oh fantastic Red - good for you
V. Cool Cad. I hope I deserve one in November.
Peru sounds very fun Liz!!!!
how do i donate to that charity liz
THink though cad, i'll stick a sticker on the car...still not a tatt fan.
if its half as fun as the desert trek in Jordan was then I'm in for a fabulous time
they have a website Lilli www.dogsforthedisabled.org
Or you can wait till I set up my next Just Giving Website LOL
thanks liz
:)
thats a great charity too Liz.
i'll wait and then i can sponsor you
Red when is the marathon?
Cad did it hurt to get the tatt?
aw bless you Lilli :)
No - it did not hurt to get the tattoo.
how do i sponsor you aswell red
November, Liz. I actually start real training in July. right now, I'm just "fooling around"
Really Cad???
Ab it uncomfortable, but not painful.
hey all
wow not all that long then really Red -best of luck. Do you have an online donation site?
hi carlee
Carlee! :) Hi
hi lil...hi liz
liz is in jordan?
I do. Here is a link...
http://tiny.cc/53TjL
amman?
its a tiny url, lets see if it works.
Liz has been trekking!!!
ty red :)
is that for the charity or to sponsor you red?
LOL Carlee no I promise I'm still on Sark! I just fancied having the Jordanian flag after I got home from there
It's for Doctors without Borders. I pay all my own entry fees, etc.
ok, thanks red
Red, I'll try and sponsor you tomorrow when I have my card with me :)
and how was jordan?
Carlee it was mind blowing!
Liz, thanks, not necessary, but always appreciated. Babble sponsers have been the most awesomest. Each time I think of falking out, I remember allthat money....
cool...someday i hope to do a tour of the middle east
Red call it returning the favour for all the babblers who sponsored me for Jordan
I didn't know you needed a Jordan Sponser!!!
is 6,18 ?
Carlee... there was one moment when I was on top of a mountain and 2 eagles were flying lower than where I was standing
very cool
LOL Red, It was last year. The trek was this year but we had to have the funds in by Christmas last
Did you see Petra...I guess of course...
ok....HOW can there be 190 MORe words... I am plugging in monkeys now... and coming up completely empty
We ended at Petra. We trekked across the desert and over 2 mountains starting at the dead sea and finishing at Petra

So, I traveled, but I also worked really hard, lived in a tent for months, had no running water.
am not a med professional :(

Got that too now - what is it?
I'll look that up Cad ty
but i'f i COULD volunteer for dr's without borders..i would... and who cares if sudan etc..i'd go in a second
great to see you all. Good luck with the training Red
I enjoyed the eperience, but there were some very difficult moments.
TY Liz, looking forward to hearing more about Jordan and Peru.
Try and stop me LOL see you all soon *poof*
nice to see you liz, glad you had a great time and take care
Actually - Pucallpa is the town they go to for supplies etc.. then they go into the jungle - I'll Yahoo my sister and see if she can remember the name of the little tiny place.

why am i looking at shiny balls?
hey!
because they're pretty, nut!
looks like something i could buy at pier one
but wouldn't you rather lovingly hand craft it
and save the $159.99 for something else
i meant the 3.99 paper ones
nut's not crafty like that, I think... she's more of a ... taxidermist?
broke 300, i have a chance...
i'm more of a... pirate
go nDan go!
hi all carlee, I looked at the website earlier...those are fantastic (I book-marked it and want to do it myself when I find some free time). :)
yeah nut, but you sure taxidermied the rum outta the captain o' the last brig you took!
hey kristin! how's you?
with captain hook at my side
and you know kristin... "free time" is a LOOOONG way off for you!
I'm good stid...it has been a busy week. We just had 26 (13 moms and 13 babies) over for a play date...we are all tuckered out!
WOW! that's a big play date! (good for you)

i'm too mature for mud
evening all
hey there mom
hiya momzoid
'zactly. one must have one's priorities... babble is definitely one of mine. Might as well be. The deer ate one of my five asian pears in the last three days and something else ate over half my dahlias this winter. *wearing my -not a happy mama- tshirt*
hey mom!

Guten tag hop clop
alright key of e?
no kristin, I am waiting to have our neighbor bring his bulldozer to level the space and then get the fence up. Not doing anything new with the flower beds this year, just monitoring what does well with neglect for future reference...
Is there any other?
I love having a big yard, but I do find it a bit overwhelming at times.
guten tag hop hop guten tag clop clop
LOL davis and xaben!
That is an excellent way to describe my kind of plants too stid. I can usually stay on top of the vegies etc. b/c we eat them but high-maintenance other plants...not my style!

cl 6 30 rhymes with what grows on teeth
a
co7? (I have the 6 but can't see how they're related?!?)
Poll: many car dealerships are offering 3 years of guaranteed $2.99/gal gas if you buy a car from them. what does this tell you?
well hello
co 8 45 against prefix + ** moon of jupiter + not bro [relation]
co 7 - a partner co + math sign for is
that they (dealer) are hoping the price of gas scares us into buying their cars :)
they don't expect me to buy one [my top year was 42,300 mi]
it tells me that the rise in gas prices doesn't add up, perhaps, to ask much of a difference as we think it does? and it makes me ask, how on earth are they implementing this?
no6/21 anyone plz? Just can't see it.
it is with a debit-ish gas card hurshy and from what I understand, you either have to find a participating station (or submit for a rebate). I kinda think this is similar to the 0% financing that they did a few years back.
rhymes with relating to verse
I still didn't get the co7 clue (but gobbled up the 8)
yeah - sounded like it would have to be a nightmare
avg driver is about 1,200 gallons/year - so even a $3 rise still matches some rebates
Ah - thank you.
i got the co 7 but not the co 8 clue LOL
hi y'all
a + b is c
c is a + b
co8 - against - **U $5 - female sibling
hi lex

**U??
coming back to the co7 (hate math...thus the sw degree) :)
Greek letter, kris
Greek letter, kris
3rd is the greek letter - often in frats or sor's

please
okay, well I'll just come back to that one...I must be really dumb, I do appreciate it though...I just don't see the 3rd greek letter in the grid
i think the clue meant "the third one of them is a greek letter"
Take out everything after the first vowel to the word that means =
th 9 [pirates should all have this boat word] - I can't believe I ate **e w**** thing + knock down the bowling ****
I couldn't get it that way either Kristin - this grid makes me feel really crazystupid
and then you, um, make it an adjective

wow on to second cl 6 and then need last cl 5 and six after it.
what the hell happened ?
just embarrassed
mkg, it's the snobby group
but otherwise OK
oh, kje, as someone who totaled her car just over 6 months ago, i can tell you, things can seem quite bad but then can get better very quickly
i missed it, but kje cecked her wrar?
what happened kje ?
yes Nutter, she did...
parked, went into dry cleaners, ws paying, heard a crash, felt sorry for whoever it was, walked out and realized it was me!!!!
got it. any clues for other cl 6's? need the next two.
?? how kje, how ??
if you weren't in it...how is it "you totaled your car?"
do you live in san francisco?
ok, so the kje wasn't in the car, this is good
runaway truck?
mkg, the last cl6 is to wear the cl5.14
apparently forgot to set emergency brake, and though incline was miniscule, the car slowly rolled out into a 6 lane road... hit by a truck
dumb ole truck
OMG !!
OMG!
so bummed, hursh... and no, I don't live in SF, but thanks, that made me laugh
guess you didn't turn the wheels like they say to either...
ty got it.
bad truck!
i have an announcement to make
need the middle cl 6 30 plz.

It's just a thing, kje ..
rolling drum back to the corner.
I've heard of that nut - how long did it take you to learn?
howdya manage that Nut ??
that was totally drumroll worthy
i bought a whizbiz
did you use a funnel?
I'm impressed, Nut!
what's a whizbiz?
whizbiz ?
I know the car is just a thing...and it is an old unattractive thing... but paid off and convenient
can you write your name in the snow yet?
LOL dan
could i have first co 5, and i assume the 6 and 7 after are add ons.
at least you are ok kje, thats the main thing.
progressive was very good and quick about paying me for my car, kje, so probably your insurance will be too
You'll be inconvenienced for a while, but at least you weren't hurt ..
sorry dan....i can hardy do it
I thought you could learn to do it without needing a whizbiz, whatever that is
it has to be an emergency
add a vowel to the end of the co4.5, mkg that will give you the 5, plural for the 6, the 7 is not related
practice makes perfect nut
I know... but this year has sucked so far... I'm moving to Australia!!!
that's a great idea kje, i'll follow you
but what about the bc's?
hursh - it was 11 years old, and had a trade in value of about $1000...so I had liability only : )
**putting kje in my packing case to send her off to Aussie !**

yay!!! good wine in australia
3rd and 4th co6's are plurals

As far as I know ..
how bout the co 8 plz?
hey hursh, whatchoo think of hillary's determination to continue?
not even working on grid - a 1st
i think i'm pretty sick of the whole thing
i think she lives in an alternate reality, like many politicians
have a whole 75! will dive in I guess - thanks for cheering me up guys : )
hey all - popping in to say, "hey all"! :) Anyone watching Idol? It's REALLY good tonight!
i think her vanity is showing
co 8 - not pro + eye + circle + not brother
but on the other hand, it has been a close race, it's not as if it were huckabee staying in against mccain or something
hey, kje - 'sup? what's going on?
hi mandy... and don't watch idol : )
i feel bad for hillary despite it all. the press really is on her case all the time. but i fear that obama is too new to lead this nation. give him 10 more yrs in congress to see how he really votes before he is pres. that is my view. and i feel once again there is no on i feel great about voting for. mc cain has his issues as well.
co4.5 (6th one) + diagn**** murder
but with all this excitement, may have to turn it on
and ted kennedy has a brain tumor.
good argument kje, my argument would be that i've seen experience, and experience hasn't impressed me
ty got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a word!!!
wow. didnt hear about kennedy,.
McCain is going to win .. He's part of the machine ..
car wreck... wasn't even in it... now feel I have no defense against the dumb blonde jokes
el 6 please
Rage against the machine!!!
too bad kennedy didn't wait five years, five years would give him a chance
if hillary is the basis for experience, i'll be waiting for the ship to australia.
our entire country's political system may be completely changed, if we should have a black pres and no ted
Seal, Donna Somers, Bryan Adams, Graham Nash, ZZ Top....all on signing with the stars
I mean, with the Idols
hold on, Kje, you were in an accident?
ha ha ha dawg
really torgone? i am amazed. i was sure a dem would win just for change. hmmm. well i hear mc cain is very cranky and i know someone in current white house who says he wont stay cuz of that.
nut, what? think that was meant for... maybe mkg
five years would give him a chance to what?
no asgreen, I wasn't, but my car was
nut, it was me.........
well kje or mkg, what diff?
I don't have it in me to start the political debate....or, I mean, to enter
survival hursh - i think that radio therapy is something else
in a parking lot?
ohhhh
sorry, you three letterers confuse me
well kids, gotta go, see you all tomorrow.
by dawg
I've had a depressing week, and the weather hasn't helped. but today I won my tennis match, so that cheered me up a bit
no.. it rolled into a 6 lane busy road at rush hour - rotten luck!
bye dawggy dawg
I'm glad you were ok KJE
omg - that's crazy
i couldn't win a tennis match against a monkey.
YOU"VE had a depressing week? Pulease!!! LOL
oh, and kje, to make you feel better....at least you're not taking your hubby for radiation therapy tomorrow and in for surgery on tuesday
later dawg!
cant get any el words. none.
Our government is broken ..It's not under control of the people any more ..
right you are torg
true nut - and my thoughts will be with you
who is this singing? i do not know them.
Sorry ..Enough of politics ..
they are little boyses.
we were wondering too hursh
I'm not kidding - a neighbor of ours had an aneurysm this week. Believe it or not she is fine, but is in the hospital for 2 weeks
i don't think they need to shave yet
Jonas Bros
our gov is really broken. really so. every 4 yrs i keep praying for some good person to vote for. but i did like gore i must say and i feel the work he is doing now is fantastic. he is an honest person and that i think is rare in politics.
nutty - we'll be thinking good thoughts....
although that middle one could consider plucking the brows
mkg, I agree
sorry to hear that asgreen, but glad she's pulled through!
i could have helped gore win, but i was not on his staff.
nut, be sure and remove hook before radiation - could kill him at his size
i had the Key.
el 6 please
how hurshy? do tell.
right you are kje, could i have a donor derriere please, just for the surgery and radiation
oi 8 plz?
kje - it was crazy - she was at the gym, got a sudden incredible headache, fell down and the trainer called 911 - went right to hospital and into surgery. can't even imagine if she had been home alone - in the shower or in the ktichen...anyway, it seems like she'll be ok
put him back for surgery.. hubby might like the company in the OR ; )
well, the problem people had with him was that he was too stiff, didn't seem human. what he needed was lots of footage of himself playing with kittens and puppies.
lol hurshy
that is good asgreen - fortunate she got help so quickly!
but since the surgery involves the gi, it might be too much for hook
I prefer the term artificial human ..
but think of the look on the surgeon's face when hook pops up and says aaarggh!
oi8 is crude oi* + fabric
branshing his little epee
nut...NEVER tell a man he has a "little" epee...he might get upset
kje - is the car totalled?
TY dan
ok, what is the point of THIS
fabric? what grows in the south and is picked? or another?
but hook isn't a man dan, he's an intestinal worm
i'm sorry but he's no william hung
what a waste of our time - my son is loving it though
yes asgreen... back end frame completely crooked
i like him better than william hung
Nobody is, hursh ..
(that and the fact that I'm letting them stay up
LOL nout!
I know it was clued earlier, but the 1st cl6/30?

of course! how could i be so dense! ty dan.
change the 1st vowel in the 2nd cl6/10
"i'll tell you anything you want to know, just MAKE IT STOP!!!"
dan - before you freak out, he is the cat's intestinal worm, not her hubby's - ROFL
my daughter thinks Paula's boobs are going to fall out of her dress
s'okay dan, i'll restrain him from coming after you. he takes offense at being thought human.
ep 7 just above the ep 9 pleas
ep 7 s anyone?
hey, she's not janet
length is not a true gauge - it has to be girth plus length
I'm missing out on most of this chat...sorry gang

*pictures a loud club, and a valet having trouble understanding... she just thinks he's cute and wants to introduce herself... then he brings her a car...*

Forbes, it's how
Heya stid!

the qu 8/55 has been clued as the way Elmer Fudd might have pronounced the type of dress Scarlet O'Hara wore
Elmer Fudd would describe Scarlett O'Hara's dress

Snap!
ep 7 #1 and #2: ep + vowel + the greek temple entrance; change the end letters
qu9 is plural of qu8
did you find the oe11 ?
i cant get it :'(
hi stid.. sorry, I saw that clue earlier as well, but don't quite know what a greek temple/entrance is...?!? thanks in advance.
i can not for the life of me even begin to imagine elmer fudd saying much, let alone describing a dress I can't envision... any other way to clie it?

Hi Stid
Hi again, stid
hello thazzy. how are you doing?
my father used to play that game, I never learned how
ty got it
I used to play it... a very long time ago. have to be able to count cards to play well. I didn't play well.
Doing great Stid, how about you?
that woudl be a card game in case someone might not know that
Mr Pres i am back
I used to play cards with my parents and gram every sunday. I can't remember how to play that one though
tired, was just wandering in to see if there has been any news about lindrickway yet.
I haven't heard any, but I just got here myself
it uses a different deck than the normal one.
Haven't heard anything yet, stid.
ni 7/32 clue pls?
well 107 to go !1!
Hi too
CL 4/6 pleaes
oh that one, I never liked it. Had to hold too many cards at once

sweet dreams jes!
thazzy yeah its just spelled differently my mom has been trying to convince me to play Bridge i have watched people pllay it before tooo confusing for me
Bye jes, good to see you!
ty stid
I never could understand bridge.
oh geea i had it already sorry
bridge takes a different sort of person than the pi7 game. I liked the one, but cannot stand bridge. It's too ... regimented, I think.
Can i have the idiot clue for the Co 8
but Jill likes it, and so does riemann (who never seems to play when I am on)
Bridge is like spades on steroids
stid i just dont get ti too much going on for me to even begin ot understand it
co 8: the co 4 that precedes + vowel + opposite of "bro"
co8= against + personal pronoun + 4th vowel + not bro
hm. I hadn't made that connection before. I suppose it is a bit like spades, which I played only once or twice
thanks
as soon as the ibuprofen starts to work, I shall be heading to bed... *yawn* tired! and must be up early.
Poor stid
well, i have 98 to go, going to bed now. toodles! *per-squeak!*
