12:43 am

We observe too great a stress On the risks that on us press And of reference a lack To our chance of coming back Still perhaps it would be wise Not to ca4 or criticize For it's very evident These intentions are well-meant

12:45 am

90 down....and going slowwww

12:45 am

A tip of the hat to Gilbert and Sullivan's cowardly Sergeant for finding a word...

12:45 am

12:53 am

thx knight...although I never heard of that one

12:54 am

Thazzy -- my head is too fuzzy to figure out your clue, lol

12:54 am

I guess looking up word meanings is helpful even when there's no definition for the looked up word lol

12:54 am

sorry jilli.

12:55 am

oh, don't tell me there are more of those unwords here, mar!

12:55 am

There's hoir, but not choir

12:55 am

12:55 am

lol, doug!

12:56 am

i am to6 after doing this grid

12:56 am

mar, I almost never see the long ones at first

12:57 am

1:15 am

hi ajv :)

1:15 am

its a tough grid ajv hello

1:17 am

well, nite all I have to get up in 6 hours. Hubby is getting two root canals

1:17 am

oh -- tough again!

1:18 am

night thaz

1:18 am

oh, thazzy! two root canals! Poor guy!

1:18 am

he only has about 6 teeth left and for some reason he wants to keep them instead of getting false ones

1:19 am

ewwwww hate root canals

1:19 am

why so few left, thazzy?

1:19 am

they're not so bad...it's the bloodiy cost of them that's the killer

1:20 am

cna't say Jill he brushes all the time

1:20 am

muh more then I do

1:20 am

much

1:20 am

touching wood everywhere I can find it -- I've never had a root canal...

1:20 am

does he smoke?

1:21 am

avoid them at all costs jilli

1:21 am

very very painful

1:21 am

every tooth in my mouth is root canaled except 1

1:21 am

I've only lost one tooth, so far, knocking with Jill. Yes about half a pack a day

1:21 am

ouch just

1:21 am

Smoking is bad for gums --> teeth

1:22 am

maybe it's a guy thing. both my parents smoked and dad lost all his but mom is 73 and she still has all of hers

1:22 am

I've been to hell with my mouth....braces 2x....jaw surgery...wired shut for 2 months...root canals and crowns

1:23 am

I had lots of gum trouble until I quit smoking -- now none

1:24 am

ac 5 anyone

1:24 am

not yet ru

1:25 am

ac5= a + c** (auto) + personal pronoun

1:25 am

I don't think I'd ever get him to quit smoking. it was all I could do to get him to cut back

1:26 am

thx jellen is the 6 close to it?

1:26 am

Hi Flask

4:48 am

Hello, all.

Hi Avj

4:51 am

This grid is very "different"...

It is/ How are you today

4:52 am

I'm fine, thanks. It's sunny and warm and my kids have behaved quite well this far. And you?

its very cold here

4:53 am

how cold could it be in Australia?

Its 8 C out there

4:54 am

yikes, are you in the mountains?

its 46 F here. Its winter

Out in the hills its about 5 C

4:56 am

It's evening right? That's been the below average temps here in the NE U.S.

4:56 am

Here is 13 Cor so

In the Mountians Bichon its 0.8 C so yes winter is here. Just turned the heating on to 30

Yes evening.It gets cold as the sun sets. According to the B.fs dad we had 6 hours of sunshine about a week ago

4:57 am

30 is pretty warm for heat. We keep the house at about 20 in the winter

The heater is a tad dodgy. We keep it at about 25 over night

4:59 am

We keep it a lot colder at night and sleep under down. I remember when the cost of heating a house was much less and we walked around the house in summer clothes

I don

opps sorry.

I do the same thing but my fingers are froozen

THat is ok

Hi JBV

5:54 am

hi, Lori - came home late yesterday after a conference, exhausted, took a nap until 9:30 p.m. !! then decided to start that monster grid, unfortunately took it right up to the flip with EIGHT words to go!

5:54 am

We've all had those less than stellar moments kje. You aren't alone.

5:54 am

sorry to hear about the car, kje - I'm sure you have a mess of paperwork to deal with now too

5:54 am

ah, very disappointing jbv

JBV that sucks

5:55 am

JBV, that is a total bummer. :(

5:55 am

kje, sorry about your car, but fortunate no one was hurt?

5:55 am

hi, flosey - yep, first grid I haven't finished in a long time

KJE guess the car had a death wish

5:55 am

but would really like to get out of 2008 if possible - so far a major ankle fracture with months of recovery which of course put me behind a couple months at work...and now totaled my care - 2008 sucks - LOL

KJE opps

5:56 am

it was 11 years old and committed suicide - LOL

5:56 am

LOL, kje - glad you're laughing - and think about how 2008 can only get better for you from here on in

6:23 am

6:23 am

6:25 am

morning lorip

6:25 am

bi

6:25 am

No, I'm deciding whether to go in myself while he is sleeping (that is creeping me out) or wake up my husband to wake him up ...

6:26 am

so...

6:26 am

yes, carlee got it, sorry I did not explain well

6:26 am

Oh, missed 'yer entrance. G'd morning carlee

6:26 am

just go in

Do you know the guy? If you don't I say send your husband.

6:26 am

and if he wakes up..his problem for sleeping in wrong room

6:26 am

I would go in and get what I needed and leave

6:26 am

unless u don't know him..then wake up hubby

lost here

6:26 am

It's your room! Just go in and laugh it up to a funny story, which, sorry but, it is!

6:27 am

I would send the hubby...what if he sleeps nude? :O

6:27 am

Monkey, I think you hit on the problem, it's not a real good friend that I know and am comfortable with

he probably won't even hear u

6:27 am

then get up hubby...

I would send your husband, he, Afetr all, it's his "fault".

6:27 am

LOL Uni

6:28 am

hmm, differing opinions... my own inner voices

6:28 am

would still just go get what you need - no big deal - if you peak in and he is inappropriately undressed...just back out -

6:28 am

LOL not the voices! :)

6:28 am

JBV, I lived in a dorm last year...I had to go through rooms/bathrooms with so many girls (and their accompanying guys) that I am desensitized. He is in your house! Do what makes you comfortable!

6:28 am

I think I hear lori <cackling>

6:29 am

If you don't want to wake up hubby, but want him out of the way, knock loudly and say you need to get a few things.

6:29 am

I'll let you know later what happened......... I'm deciding as I go upstairs right now....

6:29 am

Not so much cackling, as giggling. I mean, it's not funny, but it's funny. Course, I'm a bull in a China Shop kinda' gal

6:30 am

Lori just loves waking people up. Trust me, I know.

6:30 am

Let us know JBV, we'll start the betting pool...... :)

6:30 am

knocks and walks for me

6:30 am

so what if you wake him up - you have to have clothes!

if he was up so late, he'll sleep thru it

My thing is politely knock on the door so its just me i need to get my clothes for work. Can you cover up so i can get my clothes thanks

6:32 am

duh..i HAVE the up6...but do u think I could find the ro4,4..sheesh..NEED COFFEE

6:32 am

6:33 am

( I feel like I swapped brains with lori for that one...)***smacking forehead***

6:33 am

6:33 am

I's toss a firecracker in the room and direct him to the bomb shelter

Up6 have I not.

I was sleeping on a male friends couch and he stumbled out of bed nakid and answered the phone. I had to roll over and pretend i didn't se it

7:20 am

7:21 am

hubby has launchcast - streaming music thru yahoo - took me awhile to figure out how to get it going, but now I'm listening to "The Coffeehouse" station

Green what you listening to?

And were the flock is everyone:

7:21 am

I just put Disney on for my class

I'm here, just taking care of e-mails and stuff periodically as well.

7:22 am

ok, lame mom here, I'm so happy David Cook won Idol!!!

7:22 am

what is the theme of the day?

7:23 am

has anyone heard from Linda or her husband?

7:23 am

is that Lind?

7:24 am

(sounds like it is)....she said they'd pop on Friday or so

Ok i am watching Trinni and Susanne and they are trespassing on the Long man. I wonder if they would do it if it was Jesus

7:24 am

herin, I have no idea what you are talking about! :)

7:24 am

is this grid "nice"?

7:25 am

autumnmoon - is that her husband?? She said autumnmoon would know how she was

7:25 am

compared to yesterday..yes is a nice grid

7:25 am

no green naughty

7:26 am

long man?

I'm completely stalled at 30 words.

7:26 am

I'm only 11 in already....but I have the day, and hubby's not coming home tonight, so I have the night too!

Long Man of Wilmington is a pagan icon. I feel that its rude to the Pagans

7:28 am

Good Morning!

7:28 am

hi phae

7:28 am

ok...

7:28 am

How many 8's?... The one i have war relatively easy to find

7:28 am

Hi Phaeton

7:28 am

*was easy to find :)

7:28 am

7s *8, 8s *3

7:29 am

Thanks Green

7:29 am

thank you lynxxx

7:29 am

22 the only minute I'll be ahead of green

never mind what i am talking about no one gives a crap most of the time anyway

7:30 am

lol Lex, I love that you think I'm good at this....boosts my ego!

7:30 am

herin - this is all over my head! but I care that you are here (and happy I hope)!

7:30 am

herin - were you answering my question about theme of the day??

7:31 am

I thought there was only a theme on Fridays?

I akready knew what the icon was, Herin. Didn't mean to not engage; jsut staring at words and getting on with other things. But I agree with your original premise that whoever the heck you're watching probably would not tresspass on a major Christian icon.

Who can clue some ho's? I've only found the 4 so far.

Oh, there's the 6...

7:32 am

teaching and talking with students and playing (looking for words) mostly that aren't there

7:33 am

so, I love LLBean customer service. I found two turtle necks that my kids never word - along with the receipt -from 2006!!! I just popped them in an envelope. Just got an email - they are crediting me. so cool

7:33 am

keep your chat clean - kiddies abound! :)

I thought ho's was a respectable woord among the younger set these days?

7:34 am

hey..herin... u ok?

7:35 am

lol monkey - that was just a general comment, not directed to you! :)

Thought so. I was making a joke. I need practice, I guess.

7:35 am

seriously - I'll watch my usually foul mouth

7:35 am

it was a good one! :) :)

7:35 am

watch out lex - I'm up to 20

7:36 am

still at 22 - silly me - talking with students

7:37 am

I'm on a roll! 31!

7:37 am

I think John Irving would want "Garpier" to be a word

7:37 am

phae - which part of the grid are you looking at? :) hard finding many at a time

7:38 am

ooooh, are there re words?

I think odiax should be a word.

There are a whopping 1 re words.

7:38 am

I already tried that

7:38 am

oooh, and I got it!!

7:38 am

I'm psychic...they just come to me out of nowhere! ;-)

7:39 am

22 lex, 22

7:39 am

how long is the re word?

7:39 am

5 letters

7:39 am

hello everyone!

7:39 am

re5/12 - not the real deal

7:39 am

Hi Annie

7:39 am

Hello Annie!

Hi there!

7:39 am

7:39 am

{{annie}}

7:39 am

Haz - hi!

7:40 am

7:41 am

Not too thrilled with this grid today

7:41 am

7:41 am

Hi Herin

7:42 am

7:42 am

{{Annie}} it is nice to see the sun, have been missing it

7:43 am

They were big fans of LoriP...

7:43 am

good morning Uni

7:43 am

mom - it's raining here AGAIN!!! but, tomorrow and all (long) weekend are supposed to be lovely

7:43 am

hehehe..i can imagine they were

7:43 am

with the schools getting out soon, I would imagine it will troll season

7:43 am

Hi Mom, how is your home/hunt?

7:44 am

I hope the weekend does turn nice for you, AsGreen

7:44 am

where are you green??

7:44 am

It is slow, Uni. We are going to look at one on Saturday.

7:44 am

thanks for asking :)

7:44 am

NJ - it's rained all week, EXCEPT during my tennis match yesterday (which was awesome!!)....:)

7:45 am

Mom, have you had your house reappraised yet?

7:45 am

Yuck - sorry - not a big fan of rain that doesn't leave

7:45 am

How long do you have before you *have* to move? I'll be thinking of you and wishing you a wonderful home!

7:45 am

34!...rollin, rollin, rollin...keep them words a rollin...yee haw!!!

7:45 am

lived in Seattle for 6 years

Are the io5's related?

7:45 am

I've had one friend who's sister passed away this week, and another friend who had an aneyurism (I can never spell that) but who is going to be ok, eventually....and the rain...it's been a hellova week

7:46 am

io5 words differ only in the last letter

Thanks!

7:46 am

the highway project has been pushed to 2010, so we are hoping we can stay until then or at least until be can find something we are happy with.

7:46 am

We did Annie and they appraised it $9,000 higher than the state did

7:47 am

{Asgree}} so sorry

7:48 am

Well, I am glad you have a better appraisal and more time...maybe the market will boom by 2010 and will work out better.

7:48 am

exactly half way so a good time to leave - gooodnite everyone

7:48 am

in the end it's all ok...but just very depressing... I won tennis yesterday and then put on the brightest shirt I own and a big smile tacked to my gums (lol) and I'm in a better mood today!! :)

7:48 am

hi flosey, how are you?

7:48 am

BBL, time to eat

7:49 am

Goodnight lynxxx.

7:49 am

bye lynxxx! see ya later!

Night, lynxxx!

7:49 am

Mom, Hopefully you will get more for your home now..I feel terrible that you are forced to leave a home you love. You will find one that you can love too, I am sure

7:49 am

good night Lynxxx, pleasant dreams.

Mom can they just turf you out under compulsory acquisition

7:49 am

Oh Uni, we can hope.

7:49 am

ewwww I SOUND depressed - let's move on from that! :) :) :) :)

7:49 am

that is our plan, Annie.

7:49 am

ninight lynxx

7:50 am

good game, green

7:50 am

night lynxxxie

7:50 am

Yes, Herin, they can. If you don't come to terms with the state, they can take it by eminent (sp) domain

7:50 am

Mom, you'll make a new place a home too - and look back fondly on this one... and now that you have more time, you'll find something great!!

OK, going to go take a shower and putter. BBL, probably. Have fun, folks.

7:51 am

bye bye MonkeyGames

7:51 am

bye monkey....

7:51 am

I'm stalled at 24 - diving back in....may open list soon

7:51 am

this may sound hokey, but our home is the four of us, we just need a house to put it in.

7:52 am

thank you for the kind words, Asgreen

7:52 am

I get that

7:52 am

I just opened the list at 24

7:52 am

Mom - lol - I WAS going to say - "a house is just stuff" - you'll make a new home wherever you go! But I thought that was hokey too....so you got it!!

7:52 am

go for it green

7:52 am

Mom, not hokey at all..

7:52 am

lex, now I need to find at LEAST one more - lol

7:53 am

you all are so sweet. Thank you

7:53 am

green - sorry you had a bad week - tramatic 6 years in Seattle are exactly why I have "rain issues"

7:53 am

ooh, 25! lol

MMFPh to that MOM thats crap. If they are wanting to do that to your home fight for them to buy you the same type or better yet get land and move house

move the house even

7:54 am

Hello all. Another cold, rainy day here...but a summery weekend is coming!

7:54 am

hi scrabs

7:54 am

hi Scrab - was just commenting on same!

7:54 am

Hi Scrabbs!

7:54 am

Herin, that is what we are aiming for, a house. Land here is very expensive and to move the house it cost prohibitive

7:54 am

Herin, "the state" seizing houses has been a disturbing aspect of Canada and the USA for years. Modern day isn't nearly as bad as Africville in NS for example, but there is a long history of gross injustices.

7:55 am

good morning rainy Scrabbler from sunny KY (for a change)

7:55 am

scrab! I won yesterday!! 5-7, 6-3, 6-4

7:55 am

Yahoo, Green!

7:56 am

Do you play USTA League Tennis?

7:56 am

and it was a rematch from a couple of weeks ago where we lost in very close 3 sets too

Hi Scrabbler

7:56 am

I've never been rated

7:57 am

I'm pretty sure I'm mid-high intermed.

7:57 am

with 38 down and 74 left, it is time for me to get out of the jammies and start the housework.

7:57 am

Bye Mom

7:57 am

{{Hugs to all of you}}

Uni they do it here thats why i asked. My parents were very smart when buying a house and tripple checked freeway routes. But sadly sometimes you just are darn unlucky in house spots

7:57 am

I'm looking into a tennis school/long weekend this summer while kiddos are at sleepaway camp

7:57 am

bye Mom - see ya soon!

7:57 am

bye bye Scrabbler and AsGreen, enjoy your day

Dang Mom you have lived there for ever haven't you (searching memory)

7:58 am

45 years, Herin

7:58 am

We went to the Killington Tennis Camp in 1995--had a blast.

Bye Mom and damn :(

7:58 am

thank you Herin. Bye for now

7:58 am

I saw that - we actually did a golf school there 12 years ago I think - Memorial weekend in fact

7:59 am

lol - maybe it was '95 not '96 - how funny would that be?

7:59 am

They did videos--then we reviewed them--funny!

8:00 am

anyone have the ca6,30

8:00 am

I've been to Saddlebrook in FL - with some girlfriends. I was just getting going though. Now I think I'd get a lot more out of it. But don't want to go to FL in the summer

I learned golf in school

8:01 am

8:07 am

8:07 am

only ga

8:07 am

is a 4

yes one Ga 4 7

8:08 am

I know - I need a clue

oh err

It means: a massive wild ox,(genus), of southeastern Asia and the Malay Archipelago,

8:11 am

This grid has too many vowels.

That it does Scrabler

8:12 am

well - thanks infernal - now I know exactly what is is because I have memorized all the genus'.......lololololol

8:12 am

brb

8:12 am

Yes, it was completely clear to me too, lex

Thats cause you are a Genius?

look if your going to mock me i just wont clue. I didn't know how to clue it and the reason i put in genus is the Genus actually names it in the genus/

8:14 am

We are joking, herin.....I like definitions.

mmfph

8:15 am

Morning, all. Uh oh. I see a nose out of joint.

Hi again folks. Oh, hi Scrabbler!

8:15 am

And I just monkeyed it finally. **entering the word in my Babble Barin Databank**

Hi Judi

8:15 am

Herin, please calm down. This is the third time today I have seen a 'misunderstanding' get blown out of proportion and turned into a theoretical attack.

8:15 am

Hi Judi + MG

8:16 am

Hi Judi

8:16 am

morning allsies

From me Uni?

Hi Nuttie

8:16 am

Hi Nutter

8:16 am

Genus? I thought she said "penis". Is my mind in the gutter or what?

8:16 am

hope todays is nicer then yesterdays

8:17 am

No, Nut---too many vowels.

8:17 am

hmmm....yesterdays wasn't fun to play with

8:17 am

Hi Nut, it's smaller which is good but thats about it.

8:17 am

Hi FM

Nutie Yesterdays grid bit back

8:18 am

hello Scrabber :)

8:18 am

I gave up on yesterdays. I was vanquished by vowels.

8:18 am

i like the word vanquish

8:18 am

I commend anyone that finished yesterday's grid. I just could not "see" words in that grid and struggled to get 1/3 done before + after work.

8:19 am

i also like the word peruse

Scrabbler, several people at school were trying to tell me that coca cola will help a UTI clear up. I thought caffeine and sugar were bad. If it's just the acidity I've been taking extra vit C. What do you know about this cola assertion?

8:19 am

I like the word "serendipity".

8:20 am

cranberry juice monkey

8:20 am

thats a good one too scrabs

Yup, have that. Liters of it.

8:20 am

UTI: lots of water and cranberry supplements.

8:20 am

MG, I think any fluid is good---just making lots of pee and flushing out the bladder frequently is good.

8:20 am

MG drink tons of water

8:21 am

Hi Annie

8:21 am

Hi Scrabbs!

Oh yes coke is brillant for upsetting your body sugars. Lots of Cranberries juice and pills

OK. Yup, just been pouring back the water and cran juice. Had to go to the speed post last night for it, darn it. When I was younger they tended to clear up on their own, bu tthis got so bad so fast I called teh advice post and tehy said go in and get antibiotics.

Also make sure the UTI isn't an STD

8:22 am

I've never heard the Coke thing. I would think it would be wiser to avoid sugary/acidy liquids.

8:22 am

mornin babblers!

Thanks all! And thanks, Herin and Judi, that's what I thought too.

8:22 am

lolols fernal

8:22 am

Hi Eva

8:22 am

MG, antibiotics should clear it up quickle

STD it ain't. Both parties monogamous for 16 years.

8:23 am

morning eva

8:23 am

*quickly

8:23 am

Hi nutty and EvaN

Hope so. Had to skip the second half of school today. The final is about interviewing troubled clients so I had to be there for that half.

8:23 am

hi annie

Awful chairs there.

8:24 am

with 80 to go I must have breakfast and get ready for another day with Boss Richard Head who is being quite a little problem child this week.

By that i mean get them to see a doc. A quick pee in a cup with a stick is a good idea. I can't believe im actually speaking about this

8:24 am

Neither can we

8:24 am

is it friday yet??

8:25 am

Morning, Eva. Almost!

8:25 am

Hey, UTIs are common in females, herin--I think we have all suffered with at least one.

8:25 am

Hope yo uavhe a good day inspite of him Scrabbler

Well someone asked so i told

8:25 am

Hahaha, FM!

Them who? Anyway, it isn't that type of infection but they tooka sample for cultures and all anyway so anything and everything there will turn up.

8:25 am

i was "working from home" yesterday, and this week STILL seems long!

8:25 am

yeah, i'd get them all the time, then the dr told me to STOP holding it

8:25 am

If someone said go away, would you?

8:26 am

That is my problem, Nut--last year I had 3 within a few months---holding it in too long when busy at work worshipping my boss.

Excuse me Fmitch I have as much right to be here as you. I ignore you and so thus ignore me be a grown up would you and not being five.

8:26 am

welp, i quit holding it and got over my public bathroom phobia...mostlyl

8:27 am

Enjoy the day everyone!

Nut what exactly are you holding or don't i want to know

Later Scrabbler

8:27 am

bye, scrabbs..try to have a good day despite Dr. R. Head

8:27 am

Hmm. Too much stress can bring them on too, I'm told. I used to get them fairly frequently. Then I rid myself of the lawyers I worked for and, voila! No more STIs.

8:27 am

my pee of course fernal

I wonder if that's what did it. I have in the past couple of weeks engaged in no activity that usually brings 'em on. But I was so busy with school work at my apprenticeship place Monday I didn't get up and go as often as I should have by any means.

Anyway, bye Scrabbler!

8:28 am

i bet monkey...unless your (excuse this) wiping back to front

Monkey how is little monkey?

Stress. Ah. Of oucrse. I've been getting more flu's and everything for months, doctor is sure it's related to working and getting a degree at a school in a foreign language and raising a kid...

8:28 am

Okay, time to change the subject! LOL.

Thought of that Evan but careful about that. Herin, Walter will be 4 in September.

Scary: they start public school here at 4. It goes so FAST!

So are there anywords that use the g except the g word?

Nor He is going to look so cute in his uniform

8:30 am

now walter is a good name!

8:30 am

G'd morning again Babblers. I see the word fairy didn't come and enter my remaining 90 words while I was gone.....

8:30 am

I got the one "g" word, but I keep getting drawn to the G like there should be more.

They don't wear uniforms here. But yes, he sure would!

8:30 am

ok, gotta get the hubber dressed, laters

8:30 am

Morning Lori :)

Nice to know that paid members can be trolls to. Pity Dr G cant tell them off.

8:30 am

Hi nut. Bye nut......

He's named after his great-grandfather. He has Alzheimers, so we thought it would be something we could do for him that would mean a whole lot to him while things stoill can.

8:31 am

I am tattling on myself - I am sitting here eating.....chocolate cheesecake...bad girl

8:31 am

Whooza troll??

8:31 am

Hi Lori and bye nutty

8:31 am

8:33 am

Herin, I just read back in chat...I didn't see any names called and don't want to. I am just saying that others might feel the same about various babblers and we DON'T need more drama today.

Can someone clue the 2nd ho4?

8:34 am

8:34 am

8:34 am

Monkey its an anagram of th 1st ho4

8:34 am

8:35 am

Pink - plodding sounds very Eeyore. All well?

We had a discussion earlier about ho's being a perfectly acceptable word among the younger crowd these days!

Thanks, folks!

8:35 am

8:37 am

Sure, I was on about ho being the modern spelling for whore.

8:38 am

8:38 am

Bisnatch is still around? That was big in the late nineties...haven't heard that in years. Yikes.

8:38 am

8:38 am

Morning, one and all!

Hello!

8:40 am

Guess I won't use that word when I get frustrated.

8:41 am

Blech. Vowels. I need a break. BBL.

That was ho 4 /5 it also means gray of beard Coleridge used it in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

8:41 am

8:41 am

8:42 am

hideehideehidee HO

8:42 am

herin - do you actually KNOW this stuff or do you go look it up???

8:42 am

We need to STOP talking about bad slang...it's making a mess ;)

8:42 am

LOL @ Sharon...<3 Cab!

8:42 am

if ado is a word then the past tense should be adid.

8:42 am

your mom's a mess!

Well phoo.

I knew that ho 4/5 was frost i looked it up for context

8:43 am

Fireworks!

8:43 am

8:44 am

Wahoo, Eva

8:44 am

Later SHaron, have a good one

8:45 am

I need four words. And I loathe them. For life. Babble is losing it's charm for me today.

I had a brief surge and am now stalled out hopelessly at 47.

8:45 am

diving in **SPLASH**

8:45 am

i peetered out at 33 words...heh

8:45 am

Three more! All sevens...Ew.

8:46 am

You can do it Uni!

8:46 am

C'mon now Uni, everybody loves awkward moments. Have I mentioned I have 22 words? ***perhaps I should look at the grid, that might help***

8:46 am

FM -- i love your icon today. :)

8:47 am

Thanks EvaN

It does, Lori. I should know-- I've dabbled in it myself.

Now I'm glaring for teh dr5. Anyone got the dr5?

8:48 am

DR5 = not wtter

8:48 am

wetter even

AH! Duh, fish please. And thanks.

How 'bout the ep's???? I see they not!

8:50 am

8:51 am

EP = E + "f" sound + either/**

8:51 am

then change the las letter for another EP5

8:51 am

Uni there is an unusual up7 do you ahve that one?

Thanks.

Awww, dog's wagging in her sleep.

8:51 am

you can also add a vowel to the end of the first EP i clued for an EP6

8:51 am

Lori JUST clued it to me, FM! Two more p words now. I am using list, just are dumB :)

8:52 am

ladies and gents i must off to do my shopping, my cupboards are like a ghost town lol. Take care everyone *hugs to all*

8:53 am

loooooool fm *poof*

8:53 am

annie -- i didnt have that before, but i do now -- thanks!

8:53 am

hints for the G word?

Like a long fish with an extra internal vowel.

8:54 am

Evan--put a vowel in the middle of the fish

8:54 am

Oh thank heavens, am done!

Not the squiggly fish type, the one with the big mouth.

YAYYYYY UNI!!!

8:54 am

Yay Congrats Uni!

8:55 am

YAY for Uni...w00t woot

8:55 am

Congrats Uni!

8:55 am

FM, funny icon

Can someone clue the er that is not mistaken?

8:55 am

WOOHOO! UNI!

Monkey Girls name

8:56 am

What an ugly grid...

Thanks, Herin!

sor right

8:57 am

still not getting the G... :/

That'sa species name for heather, or I miss my guess.

Its an ox Eva

or Large Asian ox

8:57 am

e + strange light around the body minus last letter.

8:57 am

ga + it's yo** turn

Fish. Three letters, starts with G. Pike is one kind of 'em. Then insert a vowel before the first vowel.

8:58 am

mmm pike

Barracuda's another kind, also tasty.

8:59 am

Never been in a position to try that but have heard it is good too.

8:59 am

still never figured out the clue (since i know nothing of fish) but i noodled it... thanks all!

Wrap it in foil with garlic and butter and toss it into coals.

9:00 am

I love any recipe that start with garlic and butter :)

Well, but, who doesn't?

I made a Greek sauce last night to go with souvlaki. I'll bet you'd like it.

9:01 am

yup true!

Monkey did your spices dish go well?

9:01 am

***my god, this grid has spewing profanity the likes of which have not been seen since yesterday....***

9:01 am

oh go on make our mouths water ....

2 med. potatoes, boiled and mashed and cooled. Add 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/3 cup white vinegar. Add about 25 or so garlic cloves. Blend to sauce.

Oh, and salt and black pepper. Serve as sauce for grilled meats.

Raw garlic, of course.

9:03 am

I am copying that down, sounds great!!

9:03 am

ooh goodie, profanity! that might wake me up!

9:04 am

is that garlic mashed potatoes? or potato mashed garlic? heh

It was REALLY nice. Tonight what with feeling poorly and all I'm just going to toss a couple of steaks on the grill and make up some masala potatoes.

were's the profanity in the grid?

yummy Monkey

9:04 am

good morning that's a lot of garlic!

Hi Jandel

I don't see it eaither, Herin, but not for lack of looking...

Yes, the sauce was a hair shocking. But wirth it.

Spicy then?

9:05 am

Hello, is today's grid any nicer?

9:05 am

ahh, the typist omitted the word "me" spewing profanity. ***beats typist harshly***

9:05 am

For those that like garlic try stuffing a chicken with whole cloves, as many as the cavity will take and then roast as usual.

9:05 am

G'd morning Jandel

9:05 am

no, its not. back away slowly, so as not to provoke it...

Hello Mrs Katie

9:05 am

lol lori

9:06 am

Hi Katie, harp and Jandel

FMitch, that is GREAT, but even better is to add butter to the garlic, take all the bones out of the main part of the chicken, and seal it up before roasting.

9:06 am

G'd morning harp, Mrs Katie... :)

9:07 am

LOL I love your cooking style Monkey

9:07 am

Oh Eva not two days in a row!! I gave up yesterday as it was just miserable

Who's got a good sage recipe? I have a shrub that needs to be reminded it works FOR mankind. LOTS of sage needs harvesting.

9:07 am

Grid not as easy as it first looked

Grid, to put it nicely, really quite sucks.

9:07 am

good afternoon all

9:08 am

It's evil, this grid has 3 6's hidden somewhere, I'm sure

Sprite! Hullo!!

9:08 am

hiya MonkeyG!

9:08 am

It actualy has seventeen 6s lori..

9:08 am

Goodness, sprite hello!

9:08 am

ahh, sprite! how ive missed that horny heart of yours! ;)

9:09 am

FMitch! Long time no see! EvaN :D Lovely to be here.

(Sprite) Is it supposed to rain tonight, do you know? Want to grill outdoors.

9:09 am

good afternoon/ morning everyone...thank goodness the sun is smiling here ..

Hello!

9:09 am

Hi elder

9:09 am

they talk of rain, MonkeyG, but only as a possibility. You might be ok. Do you have a big parasol or something like that in case of panic?

9:09 am

hi elder

9:10 am

G'd morning sprite, elder. ***Uni's a comedienne today...***

There's teh roll-out sun shade but I'm not sure that's supposed to get wet.

9:10 am

hints for the Left-hand A?

9:11 am

FMitch, hello, just read joke made me giggle...LOL

9:11 am

I can use a good laugh. Didn't sleep one wink last night. Went to bed this afternoon and slept for 3 hours, so am a little less zombielike now.

You OK? Just insomnia?

I didn't sleep either but that was mostly to do with going to the spoedpost about a UTI.

9:11 am

*grin* elder Sorry EvaN haven't got either of them

9:11 am

Sprite sorry to hear you have not had much sleep - its awful .. how is your husband today ...

9:12 am

yeah, worries and hormones, I think. Am into menopause, and hubby has a burnout/breakdown, so not surprising I guess.

9:12 am

both ar5/12's

9:12 am

One is passion, the other ends like robor

9:12 am

*robot

9:12 am

G'd morning Vic!

9:12 am

my husband is my big love, but having him home all day asking attention is kinda tough on me, lol. We need to find ways to make it work, me and him both at home with depression and burnout problems.

Oh dear. I understand. Well, hang in there! House and Heroes are on tonight.... always a good lineup...

HI Sprite and Elder and Vicuna

Take teh mind off things, I mean.

9:13 am

Passion where is it nowadays ??

9:13 am

thanks vic!

9:13 am

beautiful clues, Vic, thanks and hi

9:13 am

Morning billygoart Vi

9:13 am

It's off the left-hand A, elder! lol

9:13 am

Hello, all.

9:13 am

hehehe MonkeyG, I never watch series on tv, I am too impatient. I wait until I can download or buy the whole series and then I watch!

9:14 am

Vic, LOL

9:14 am

hows about that bottom i?

9:14 am

lol Vic

9:14 am

I know, FM, I should be a fire engine today. But the closest I have is a bulldozer! =)

Well, watch these! You need to see House in order though or you'll have no idea what's going on in season 4. The post writer's strike season finale double episode was just amazing.

9:14 am

Not'n wrong with the goat :)

9:15 am

ok, I am putting House on my to see list then! Heroes is one I wanted already. Am watching Millennium atm... anyone remember that series?

9:15 am

ir6/24 - if it ended in -escent it would mean rainbow-colored like an oil slick, but instead it ends with a short adj ending

Haven't seen that one.

9:16 am

again a lovely clue, Vic, thanks for making my start so easy :D

9:16 am

Herin, did you do the restoration on the fire engine ?? and how did you get from the UK to Australia .. costly ...

9:16 am

You're most welcome.

9:16 am

thanks again vic!

9:16 am

did I miss lady or is she not chatting?

9:16 am

so, the last tile i have no words from is the lower i in the center column...

9:17 am

The rh 6 almost pushed me off the edge. This grid is poopy

She WAS here...

9:17 am

two io5/14's, differing only in final letter

9:17 am

Bet you ahve more than 22 words now though Lori

9:17 am

The chat/ clues are coming fast... well they are to this tired and feeling very old today babbler:)

9:18 am

thanks, thanks, and thanks again!

9:18 am

aw elder... how come?

9:18 am

A whopping 51 now. Ack, ack, ack, ackity-ack!

9:18 am

Better get on with some work, see you all later

OK, dropping out for a bit tow atch a documentary. Back later.

9:18 am

bfn Katie!

9:19 am

Oh, I didn't see you, KatieMcG! Hope all is great with you... and bye!

9:19 am

and bfn MonkeyG!

9:19 am

Bye Katie and MG

9:19 am

Bye, MonkeyGames.

9:19 am

Later Mrs katie! Take care :0

9:19 am

and MG

9:20 am

any mums here? Is it normal for a 10 yo girl to lie to try and escape problems? Even if we have very strict rules about lying being worse than any other thing?

9:21 am

Good afternoon all!

9:21 am

Afternoon Haz

9:21 am

Sprite, it's quite common, but I think the real question is whether or not this is normal behavior for this particular girl.

9:21 am

hi Haz! George is smiling at me from the livingroom table this week!

9:21 am

Yes Sprite, its all part of learning ../Development, testing boundaries etc etc

9:21 am

Hello, Haz!

9:22 am

hello Haz.

9:22 am

My previously 10 year old, now 19 is around here somewhere. She may have some insight.....

9:22 am

We all have escape hatches.

9:22 am

Oh, and g'd morning Haz

Sprite i am here. I just had to feed kity

9:23 am

she keeps forgetting to call home if she is lunching at a friend's, or playing. And then she lies about having called, but us not picking up the phone. So I said: why not leave a message then? And she went all teary and we knew she was lying, and after a while she confessed.

9:23 am

Greetings all.

9:23 am

hi lady *hug*

9:23 am

That sounds more annoying and frustrating than disastrous, sprite.

9:23 am

boundary testing. SO common. Be consistent,a nd have results for violating the rules.

9:24 am

Safety is not negotiable IMO

9:24 am

thanks guys. I was worried, don't want to have a member of our family lying... trust is so important. Ok, punishment for both lying and not informing us of her whereabouts.

9:24 am

Only my 2 cents, now that I've killed chat......

Just let her know that the reason you would like a call is common courtisey (excuse spelling) and that you would respect that she tells you were she is incase there is a need to contact her of have you be contacted

9:25 am

I agree, Lori!

9:25 am

Sprite don't be too alarmed, the family values will be there and keep here in good stead when she is older. When they are playing they forget too wrapped up in what they are doing and then they feel bad for not contacting you , they just want to get it right, but sometimes they just do it wrong ..

9:25 am

she knows all that, lady.

9:25 am

thanks elder, and all, you have made me much less worried :)

I remember the groundings i got if i didn't tell my parents where and whom i was with

9:26 am

I wish uni was here. She still does it, we insist on knowing where they are, and that they're going to be where they say they're going to be. Safety cannot be emphasized enough, and trusting her/him to call, is so important

9:26 am

At ten she is probably lying because she wants to please you and doesn't want to disappoint you, rather than because she wants to hide things from you.

9:27 am

concur with that Vic.

9:27 am

At that age, Vic knows. Again, just be consistent, with whatever your house rules are. They want to know the expectations are still there.

9:27 am

Vic is wise.

9:27 am

ok, I can handle that, Vic. Lady: yes, she is gonna be grounded! Lori: I explained to her a 1000 times, that if something would be wrong, she would want us to look for her right away. So in order to know if something is wrong, we NEED to know where she is.

Sprite hun does she have access to a phone like a phone card or a home calling number?

9:28 am

Exactly sprite, you've answered your own question. :-)

9:28 am

she can call from each friend's house. All the parents allow that.

9:29 am

Sprite, don't mean to make you feel worse but ... wait till adolescence arrives, its like they have been over taken by aliens or the the devil. ...

9:29 am

Lori: how?? I know what I explained to her... I just was worried about her lying!

9:29 am

ill be honest -- when i was 10 + i got caught doing something i know i wasnt supposed to do, i lied my FACE off!

9:29 am

An older child may have more leeway, but 10 is very young in terms of naivete of the lesser elements of the world.

9:30 am

lol EvaN... and you still turned out an ok person, right?

9:30 am

i like to think so....!

9:30 am

i think it was self-preservation....who wants to get in trouble?

Ok. So she has no excuse. Can you ask her why she felt the need to lie. Use feelings. Like It makes me cross and worried when i don't know where you are. Why do you feel you can't call me? Do you think that its embarrising to ring your mum? That kinda thing.

9:30 am

I could never lie, I could try but I always blushed so i never got away with it.

9:30 am

my son will be 12 this weekend and he still has to call home as well. It is fine with me if they wanna play, no problem. I just want to know where they are.

9:30 am

LOL EVa? I'm shocked. Shirley not you. :) sprite, I'm simply saying that you seem to feel the message hasn't sunk in, so you must address it.

9:31 am

thanks lady, will do that. :)

9:31 am

Ah, the wonders of the chat word, FM. Here you can lie like a rug and we'll never know you're blushing.

9:31 am

i was the good kid, so either my parents really believed me, or else what i did was so little in comparison with what my brother did, they just decided to let it go....heh

9:31 am

Herin, i think she just forgets ...

9:31 am

I lied like a rug on so many occasions, and got busted every time. Gave up on it shortly thereafter..... :-)

9:31 am

*grin*

9:32 am

ah, ok Lori, true. Am going to do so now then... hubby is home from shopping, time to talk. Back later, guys, and thanks for helping me through another parental hiccup.

9:32 am

My Mother as mothers do - could read me better than a book..lol

9:32 am

All shall be well, sprite.

9:32 am

i often forgot to call home...i knew my mom wanted me to, but sometimes time would get away from me + id just forget...

mmmmm maybe you need to ask her if she forgets can the parent that shes with kindly remind her.

9:32 am

Good luck sprite, take care.

I only ever lied to my parents once. I was about 17 and i burnt a hole in the carpet. I said it was cat puke.

9:33 am

either i mustve been really good, or else my parents didnt really care -- i always got away with it...heh

9:33 am

yes.. thats an option

9:33 am

LOL ....

9:34 am

right, focus on the grid.. or maybe cup of coffee/tea..

9:34 am

LOL Eva

9:34 am

Grid? What grid? I STILL have 57 left....***sigh***

9:34 am

ooooo cup of teaaa :)

These days Sprite i just don't tell them what the don't need to hear. I am sure they wanted to return me at some stage during my teens (always told them that i had a 30 day guarentee)

9:36 am

FMitch, my treat any preference ... will put kettle on..

9:36 am

*raises hand for a cuppa*

9:37 am

Ok Eva and everyone taking orders now... !

9:37 am

Lovley thought elder. I have just found another species of dolphin in the grid, you live and lear! The do6/24.

9:37 am

be back soon

9:38 am

*busily searches for aquatic mammal*

9:38 am

ill take something chai, if youve got it. :)

9:38 am

That's a dolphin????

9:39 am

Good lord, what deep dark cave did these words come from. Oy vey.

9:39 am

I assumed it had to do with lost cities of gold, and such.

9:39 am

According to the link its and yes thats what I thought too!

9:40 am

Well, I hope it and the inia will be good friends.

9:41 am

So long as that all, no cross sub species breeding!

9:42 am

ai 6?

9:42 am

pe's were harsh. DENSA prez for a reason. ***god bless Lickety***

9:42 am

And how funny to think that the lost city of gold is really called Dolphinville.

hi KJE

9:42 am

hello again herin - taking a little tea break : )

9:43 am

ai6/18 - more flowing with oxygen

9:43 am

Hello all - was upset the do6 a kind of dolphin - we regularly eat dorado here - but checked and it is a fish for eating - thank goodness have not being eating dolphin

Tea as in Dinner or as in cup of?

9:43 am

Hi ursh

9:43 am

oops oops oops sorry

9:43 am

9:43 am

worrying moment ursh

9:44 am

Also swordfish, looks like.

9:44 am

TY Vi!

Done and night

9:46 am

WOOHOO HERIN!!!! sleep tight : )

9:46 am

Yay and bye, herinfernal.

9:46 am

Ok, selection...on tray... Assam, Earl Grey, Strong Twinnings, normal and fresh coffee, + shortbread, rich tea and cream cakes. take and enjoy !!

9:47 am

back :) One repentant girl. Grounded for the weekend because of not calling us to let us know where she was. Grounded for next week because of lying to us. I think she got the message.

9:47 am

night lady

Best wishes sprite

9:48 am

Byee Herin ..

9:48 am

thanks sweetie

9:48 am

Hidilly ho, neighbors. Ooh. My father grounded my brother "for life" once. Both my brother and I burst out laughing. I think he later dropped it down to a month.

9:48 am

hi Judi

9:48 am

lolol, that is great

9:48 am

Thanks elder, lovely bics

9:49 am

YW

9:49 am

Needless to say, Dad was really mad and got a little carried away on that one. My brother and I still laugh about it. I forgot what my brother did - but he did some pretty heinous things when he was a teen.

9:51 am

I sometimes tend to worry too much. People keep telling me our kids are great, have a firm foundation and will be fine. And then I look at the world with all the crime and drugs and sh*t and I think, omg....

9:51 am

hi folks - phone rang then friend popped over - now it's an hour and a half later and I have 28 words...

9:51 am

hi AsGreen

9:52 am

28 words IN that is - 84 to go

9:52 am

Be glad you're not a yank, sprite. (Most) kids seem to be out of control here these days.

9:52 am

your turn asg

9:52 am

once, my brother fell asleep with gum in his mouth + woke up with gum in his hair.... my mother punished him by saying he couldnt chew gum again until he was 35.

9:52 am

i guess, technically, hes still grounded!

9:52 am

oooh, ok, I'll go look, then focus on grid

9:52 am

lol EvaN, lovely

9:53 am

Sprite, as a parent you can only do your best for your children and they will reward you in ways not always so obvious now.

9:53 am

Lol. That's pretty good, Eva. Although, gum in the hair seems to be punishment enough. My father would have made us walk around with it stuck there and not let us cut it out. Fortunately, never happened to us.

9:53 am

yeah, I guess, Judi. Still, kids are out of control here as well. I must trust my kids, I know, but it IS scary nowadays.

9:53 am

my father was very different.... he once grounded my bother + said he couldnt ride his bike for 2 weeks. a few days later he gets a call from a neighbor letting him know that my brother has an accident...he was ok, but at the hospital.....

9:53 am

oh dear, EvaN!

9:54 am

Test, then trust, Sprite. Best to make them earn it.

9:54 am

so dad goes to the hospital (as an aside, my mom was in the bed next to my brother because she saw blood + passed out) when my dad asked my brother what happened, he said "i was riding johns boke + i hit something in the street and fell off + had to get stitches in my chin!" of course, my dad says "aret you grounded? youre not allowed to ride your bike!"

9:54 am

good one, Judi. Thanks.

9:54 am

and of course, my brother points out very quickly that he wasnt riding his bike -- he was riding JOHNS bike!

*headdesk* How did this go over with your father?

9:55 am

omg EvaN... hilarious, in a way. Was you dad mad?

9:55 am

LOL eva!

9:55 am

my dad, being the kind of person that he was said "well, i never said he couldnt ride johns bike!"

9:55 am

Ah, the old bike loophole. Clever, albeit painful.

9:55 am

Eva, i think most of us have done that in some form or another, when little and trying to blow bubble gum bubbles i covered nearly my whole head of hair, no punishment from Mother it was enough, when she then tried to get it all out of hair ,eventually needing to cut bits of hair off... horrendous ..

LMAO

9:57 am

i think dad pretty much figured that stitched (and the wrath that would accompany my mothers return to consciousness) was punishment enough.... heh

9:57 am

My dad had a habit of hiding his illicit gum behind his ear ... Then once he forgot about it and went off to camp with it still there... and came back with a big infection behind his ear. Ewww.

9:58 am

EWIE.

9:59 am

Apparently youthful gum episodes are just too horrifying for this chat! lol

9:59 am

argh Vic! Ewwww!

9:59 am

guess everyone was dumbfounded by that one!

9:59 am

I was just contemplating how gluey the gum must ahve been to stick there

10:00 am

Anyway, I'm off to admire my enormous poppies that have just sprung open today. Back later! =D

10:00 am

enjoy, Vic

10:00 am

Byee Vi

10:00 am

Byee Vi

10:00 am

ok, I keep seeing trophee and adieu. Driving me mad.

10:00 am

Have a good one Vic

10:00 am

Byee Vic,

10:00 am

bye vi - no smokin' the poppies, now!

10:01 am

kj - ugh, your turn

10:01 am

Sprite.. don't look !

There's a small German town near Munich called Pfilzerplatz, and the town is renowned for producing fine stationery. Anyway, Munich had a problem -- the thousands of stray dogs in the city were breeding with one another and overrunning the city. So the people of Munich banded together and ran the dogs out of the city. Unfortunately, the dogs appeared in Pfilzerplatz. The dogs took over everything, and the mayor decided to evacuate the town. The paper mills were shut down, and everyone left. But a couple days later, the townsfolk, watching their town from the hills, saw smoke rising from the smokestacks. They knew no humans were left in the town, so they concluded that the dogs had learned to operate the factories. The mayor hurried to Munich's town hall and pleaded, "You've got to help us! The mills are alive with the hounds of Munich!"

I knit, knit, knit, knit and knit. Sometimes I also crochet.

11:55 am

done

11:55 am

congrats ruru

11:55 am

Magnificent, FM. They light up the world. They also clash horribly with the giant allium that were supposed to be darker and bluer than they've turned out to be.

11:55 am

congrats ruru

11:55 am

what a tough grid..

11:56 am

got to go to work.. good luck all

11:56 am

Yay for rururocks!

11:57 am

There are many Babblers that knit ajv so you are in good company. Oh Vi I love those giant alliums too. Red poppies?

11:57 am

The normal orange-ish red poppies, yes. But the finest I've ever had.

11:58 am

My Mom is growing shocking big pink poppies this year from some seeds a friend gave me.

11:58 am

The kids love the alliums, too. They are intrinsically fun.

11:58 am

15 left going to the list

11:59 am

I'm afraid I am generally anti-pink. =)

11:59 am

Glad I am typing poppies w/o any sp mistakes lol

12:01 pm

Always good (if unusual?) to be able to type what one means.

12:01 pm

Almost all my roses survived the winter.

12:02 pm

That is good ajv did you have to give them much protection?

12:02 pm

You must be an awfully cold zone, ajv.

12:04 pm

I live in southwestern Finland, this is quite a good place for roses etc. But winter protection is needed and much.

12:07 pm

Helsinki is not much further north than Stockholm so your summers should be quite good?

12:07 pm

Yes, they are. Sometimes it rains pretty often, but it's not that bad.

12:08 pm

(Ah, southwest Finland looks like zone 5. That isn't bad.)

12:10 pm

fireworks, see everyone tomorrow

12:10 pm

Yay for pabtrek!

12:10 pm

Ohh pretty fireworks pab, congrats!

12:11 pm

My fireworks is 40 words away...

12:11 pm

A babble story: Once upon a time two ac5 fell into a vat of ur4 ac4 causing quite an up6. The od4 was ho6. For a pe6 of time, we ca4’ed about the di4 event, although it could have been di5. One of the ac6 mites was a real do4, some would say, with ar5, the other was a dr4. The smell was ri4, and got ri5 as more time elapsed. Somethin had to be done or a ri4 would break out. Pe8 ca4 of the building and surrounding ra5 to keep it pu4 would pr4 us to turn off the ra5, get the cleaner material we would ho5, put it in a ca7, and da4 around like maniacs cleaning the place and making it pu5. We were located in an ar4 pr7. There were ci5 clouds overhead. The ro4 of automobiles on the nearby ro4 was an au5 blast causing to6 if one were an id5 and were to tr4 outside. The winds were to6 and pr5 to going out, we would put in earplugs to prevent the au5 ra4 of noise. The day of the accident, there was an ar4 playing on the ra5. Jim, a chronic ca6, was eating a ca6. A to4 hopped by chasing the mites and caused the accident.

12:12 pm

Well thats dedication (and fun) Knight!

12:13 pm

*hard at work decoding the words I'm missing!*

12:24 pm

Do the cats count as chaperones?

12:24 pm

either that or she has been assimilated by the Borg

12:24 pm

Yes, Tim is a new addict.

12:24 pm

Depends. Will the cats step in if you enter too many inappropriate words?

12:25 pm

I see that he's a new addict. The question is whether you are the one who addicted him.

12:25 pm

BRB

12:25 pm

lol, Vicuna. Only one of my cats can read.

12:25 pm

Oh, yeah, I got him addicted, all right!

12:52 pm

hi, anyone have a hint/clue for the first pr7/32?

12:52 pm

You'll probably nod off in the middle of it, depending where you are at with jet lag.

12:52 pm

I am trying to do it at work and am distracted by the fear of someone walking up behind me, so really, go ahead. it will be easier for you!

12:52 pm

I think this one is actually killing my brain cells with how hard it is

12:52 pm

SAme one I'm looking for, bichon.

12:52 pm

I've just had a nap. well, a nap interrupted every 30 seonds by a furbrat announcing their presence

12:52 pm

Hi, bichon. I'm at that spot, too!

Hello EvaN.

1:00 pm

how is everyone?

1:00 pm

Lovely. Or so my hubby says.

1:00 pm

Good time cait?

1:00 pm

I was on a bit earlier in the afternoon but made a strategic retreat. I'll have to wind back to see what I missed.

1:01 pm

how's spangle? I picked up Hobbit earlier from the spaniel kennels and saw soooo many gorgeous springers

1:01 pm

Hi guys, I'm missing a 7, got pe7x2, pi7x2, pr7, up7 & ca7?

1:01 pm

i was hiding in the shadows this morning... there seemed to be some...tension in the chatlog...

1:01 pm

Im very proud of myself 6 hours plus without a ciggie because of flying and I only killed 2 air hostesses!

1:01 pm

Spangle is very well.

1:02 pm

Hi Ishult!

1:02 pm

Only 2? The pilot escaped injury I hope.

1:02 pm

Hi Ishult

1:02 pm

There are three pe7

1:02 pm

Tension in the Chatlog. That would be a good title for a book, or a play....

1:02 pm

Good going cait did you light up at the earliest opportunity after landing?

1:02 pm

Might be an understatement though.

1:02 pm

I had to leave him alone Im nervous enough of flying LOL

1:02 pm

Ishult, is that a picture of your kibbutz. Where exactly is it?

1:03 pm

Oh yes FM

1:03 pm

ive got pe7/55x2

1:03 pm

Hello Uniquity! Still in one piece?

1:03 pm

Can anyone say what the tension was about?

1:03 pm

bichon, yes it is.....its in the south near Eilat

1:04 pm

Hi Uni, how are you?

1:04 pm

Hmm...a question to any smokers on here. Not knowing someone (ie - a babbler) does it sort ofwork it's way into your head subconsciously that "must be" or aren't smokers? As a non-smoker I always assume others don't smoke as well, wondered if it worked in reverse too.

1:04 pm

pe7/40. pe7/36x2

1:04 pm

Hi, Uni

1:04 pm

I haven't read back yet but I made my strategic withdrawal for the usual reason, cait.

1:04 pm

i have the Pi7 that kind a sounds like a dessert gone bad -- whats the other?

1:04 pm

It's pe8/55x2

1:05 pm

it's the pe7/40 that I'm missing?

1:05 pm

That was missing a word or two...Hi all, I am well. Dr's appt in 2 hours, boooring. (Regular stuff, no worries).

1:05 pm

That's the first pe.

1:05 pm

I don't think that it does...i.e. I don't assume that someone is a smoker

1:05 pm

I'd try and answer that question Uni but I can't make it make sense

1:05 pm

Oh come on, Uniquity. You might at least have some interesting ailment.

1:05 pm

LOL FM I was just thinking the same

1:06 pm

uniiiiiiiiiiiii

1:06 pm

I know FM...the little chatterbox space is not big enough for me to see what I wrote and make sure it makes sense :(

1:06 pm

pe7/40 - latin through, opposite of alkaline

1:06 pm

There is only one pi7

1:06 pm

what she meant was - do smokers automatically assume everyone smokes. like non-smokers always assume they are "talking" to non-smokers

1:06 pm

I think

1:06 pm

Well, if it would make you feel better Haz I could turn out to have cancer, but I wouldn't be impressed.

1:06 pm

When did you get home Ata?

1:06 pm

got it, still 32 words to find tho

1:07 pm

No, I said interesting. Like when Atalante had to have a blob removed from her back and I thought she said she was having a boob removed from her back.

1:07 pm

Ata is my mouthpiece from now on. She makes more sense.

1:07 pm

lol

1:07 pm

Uni...no I don't assume other people smoke. In fact, most of the time when I find out someone smokes, it comes as a surprise to me that THEY smoke.

1:07 pm

Ahh, answering Atas interpretation no you don't assume everyone smokes but you can tell if you are face to face and as a non smoker you can smell face to face.

1:08 pm

THAT would have been interesting.

1:08 pm

Not at all as a smoker Im more aware of non smokers and assume that they dont like my bad habit

1:08 pm

flying must have knocked some sense into me

1:08 pm

Hi hurshy

1:08 pm

re 5/12?

1:08 pm

Oh dear Ata, we can have that, you might get all serious on us. Hi hurshy

1:08 pm

Well, here's hoping that terra firma will knock that sense right out again.

1:09 pm

re5/12 - not the real deal. Would not go down well on Antiques Roadshow.

1:09 pm

Hi, hurshy

1:09 pm

i assume people don't smoke or drink or do drugs or swear, that they are not overweight and that they are my age...

1:09 pm

So it is universal. We all assume others don't smoke. I wonder what other things this might apply to..*ponders implications*.

1:09 pm

ok, so that gives me CA7, PE7 x3, Pi7, PR7 whats my last 7?

1:10 pm

I hope so

1:10 pm

hi hurshy dear!

1:10 pm

1:10 pm

There was a 310 yesterday. It was not popular among some elements.

1:13 pm

1:14 pm

1:14 pm

little house? cottage? pr5y?

1:14 pm

1:14 pm

What do you do with eggs, Haz? (We have 250 hens.)

1:14 pm

pr7/32 - Laura Ingells Thingy

1:15 pm

oh Little House!

1:15 pm

Ajv - Deviled eggs! Do it! Do it!

1:15 pm

pe8 (twice) - the sort of table you use from time to time, especially in science. pe8 the second moves one along in the alphabet for the last letter.

1:15 pm

yes i have the pe8 table

1:15 pm

!!!!!!!!!!!!uria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:15 pm

Wow ajv!

1:15 pm

250 hens? Gosh, pavlova city.

1:15 pm

Cheese omlettes ajv

1:15 pm

1:16 pm

Cait - Have fun while away? You missed lots, yet nothing here. :)

1:16 pm

soufflees

1:16 pm

sell them! money money money

1:16 pm

I have great recipes for baked egg casseroles and things that you make the night before....yum

1:16 pm

250 hens sounds like a yummy Chicken crepe!

1:16 pm

Uni nothing but sun, swimming, booze and rest,hard work all that relaxation

1:17 pm

Lol...sun, swimming, rest sound good!

1:17 pm

Sounds tough cait but someone had to do it? *grin*

1:17 pm

finished, anyone need a clue or two?

1:17 pm

ok, so i have EU8 and PE8 -- whats the other 8?

1:17 pm

lol sammy's momo

1:17 pm

i don't know but I want a clue for the pe 8 if you feel like sharing

1:17 pm

But what do eggs have to do with that up-word...?

1:18 pm

There are two pe8 - they differ only in the last letter. Move one along in the alphabet.

1:18 pm

Congrats Bichon..feels better once it's done, doesn't it?

1:18 pm

Congrats bichon!!

1:18 pm

okay, but I could use a clue for either one, actually

1:18 pm

Congrats bichon

1:18 pm

Both pe8 words build on the full stop pe6/24

1:18 pm

Congrats, bichon! I'd need 27 good clues...

1:18 pm

thanks haz! thats all my biggies!

1:19 pm

Well done EvaN. You're on the home straight.

1:19 pm

full stop?

1:19 pm

back again

1:19 pm

We say full stop at the end of a sentence. Americans use this term.

1:20 pm

Hi lex

1:20 pm

Congrats, bichon!!!

1:20 pm

Hi lex!

1:20 pm

wait there's an eu8?

1:20 pm

and i've GOT it, thank you!! Learning slang at the same time

1:20 pm

gracias

1:20 pm

Or think of it as being a length of time (pe6)

1:20 pm

Oh Haz quick q, who was fired last night?

1:20 pm

Slang?

1:20 pm

Raef. I'm still in mourning.

1:21 pm

That slimy Michael escaped again.

1:21 pm

down to 45

1:21 pm

Oh I wondered if it was him from a news snippet. What a shame.

1:21 pm

Oh he has gone, who is left now?

1:21 pm

full stop was slang to me

1:21 pm

It was a shame.

1:21 pm

3 left. Leaving them for when Tim wakes up.

1:22 pm

No, full stop is not slang, it's just different terminology.

1:22 pm

Still going in the Apprentice are, Claire, Lucinda, Helene, yucky Michael, Alex and the one who doesn't know how to shave or speak.

1:22 pm

Awe thats love Jellen :)

1:22 pm

Lee.

1:23 pm

Yes, it is, FMitch.

1:23 pm

Bet Michael wins then

1:23 pm

The person you hate always wins reality shows.

1:23 pm

If he wins, I'll...... write a letter of complaint to Sir Alan. Then he'll be sorry.

1:23 pm

Thanks Haz I will try and get the ones I missed

1:24 pm

He'll be REALLY sorry if he has to work with that snake in the grass.

1:24 pm

How wonderful Jellen *soppy grin*

1:24 pm

He will! Especially after you bring up your intimate encounter with the royal family.

1:24 pm

But he's hopeless - and every one who has been fired hates him.

1:24 pm

last ar 5/12?

1:25 pm

I'm the one with the soppy grin, FMitch. So silly!

1:25 pm

He claimed on his CV to be 'a good Jewish boy' (because Sir Alan is Jewish) but didn't have a clue what kosher food meant.

1:25 pm

ar + robot ending, kje.

1:25 pm

Raef went?! WAH!

1:25 pm

TY uni - was looking at the otheR ^%#$@! Ar : )

1:26 pm

I know! But he was magnanimous in defeat, and beautifully groomed.

1:26 pm

Ah Atas awake again.

1:26 pm

Are we fighting against jet lag. Ata?

1:26 pm

ca6/30? after the orange veggie?

1:26 pm

lol sorry, silverclaw keeps distracting me

1:27 pm

LIKE SPANISH FOR CITY - EXCEPT CHANGE 2ND VOWEL

1:27 pm

ca6 - ca, a vowel, then affectionate paternal term

1:27 pm

sorry about the caps

1:27 pm

change 1st vowel actually - sorry for screwing all that up - LOL

1:27 pm

No need to shout, kje. =)

1:27 pm

lol and hello kje

1:27 pm

*going to corner for a bit*

1:28 pm

Hi, kje!

1:28 pm

hello all

1:28 pm

LOL and hi kje

1:28 pm

so how what why, Haz? What did poor Raef do to be fired?

1:29 pm

Basically he was given the poisoned chalice of being Project Manager.

1:29 pm

Speaking of corners and cubby's, might I have a word with you hazel, regarding the increased temperatur levels in the cubby with the changing season.

1:29 pm

Got it. thanks.

1:29 pm

They had to develop a brand and ad campaign for tissues. He and Michael set to working out a beautiful TV ad which basically failed to point out that you were supposed to buy the brand of tissues.

1:29 pm

Oooh, a poisoned chalice! You Brits know how to do TV!

1:30 pm

poor boy. and did he mess up horribly?

1:30 pm

Oh, George. Is the fan not working properly/

1:30 pm

25 left...all 4s. Think I'll take a break...Laer!

1:30 pm

Oh Gorge I didnt know you were still locked away

1:30 pm

and michael STILL managed to creep away unscathed?

1:30 pm

They messed up in that they had Sian Lloyd playing a mother to a little boy (why?) and failed to include any shots of the tissues.

1:30 pm

George!!

1:30 pm

Michael is a creep, full stop (or pe6)

1:31 pm

It's quite warm, and I don't like to complain, but the fan is inadequate to the task of cooling me off.

1:31 pm

Well, if you will keep that laptop going, George, what can you expect?

1:31 pm

Stop daydreaming about Haz George and you might cool down a little!

1:31 pm

Hello caitlyn. To be with Hazel, it's worth it, but hot is hot.

1:31 pm

Haz go and get him a long cool drink and a fan

1:31 pm

I may have to investigate other methods of cooling the cubby.

1:32 pm

Tim's awake--bbs

1:32 pm

BRB. (It's not that I'm cross with him, but really. this IS babble time)

1:32 pm

Bye Jellen

1:32 pm

Two dozen words still missing...

1:32 pm

w...does babble outrank george?

1:33 pm

Well, I just wanted to plant the seed. I'll return to my script reading and await your response in the hot cubby.

1:33 pm

Dont get too hot and bothered George

1:33 pm

I wouldn't like to say. It might hurt George's feelings.

1:33 pm

EvaN Haz is very dedicated to Babble

1:34 pm

Or Dr-G's. You have to keep them both happy. Dr-G might boot me out.

1:34 pm

Yes, dedication, not addiction. A mild attachment is how I like to think of babble.

1:34 pm

I'll take off my shirt, maybe that will help. For now. Thank you Hazel, and good bye until later.

1:35 pm

LOL

1:35 pm

awwww hobbit's here for a cuddle

1:35 pm

Bye George. If you're taking your shirt off, maybe I should just check on conditions.

1:35 pm

Talk amongst yourselves.

1:36 pm

I had better see what emails await..there were 39 unopened ,see you all tomorrow Haz be gentle with him today!! Bye

1:36 pm

weird words in here - honestly, I don't think I've heard of probably a third of them

1:36 pm

Can anyone clue me on the ca 6/30 please? Thank you in advance.

1:36 pm

Bye caitlyn. Don't fall for anybody trying to trick you into thinking they're George.

1:37 pm

ca6/30 - ca, a vowel, affectionate term for father.

1:37 pm

look at 1:27 for ca clue

1:38 pm

Bye cait good to see you back

1:38 pm

Haz, thank you. You are amazing as usual.

1:39 pm

Thank you, Nancy. That's what George says as well.

1:39 pm

hey cait -

1:39 pm

I am tutoring after school and am continually called away - silly students need help in Geometry and English... so if I don't answer you know why

1:39 pm

silly me working during school hours

1:42 pm

Time to put the kettle on back shortly.

1:42 pm

did I scare everyone away...come back and play

1:42 pm

I'm playing, but I have 10 to go and trying to get down and get back to work : )

1:42 pm

funy Lexlee I'm serving lunch at school right now, finding words between classes

1:43 pm

HS - how about you??

1:43 pm

elementary

1:43 pm

My men are sleeping. Hooray, quality time!

1:45 pm

here they cmoe back in 10

1:48 pm

5

1:48 pm

clue for rh6?

1:49 pm

rh6 -rh plus the word in the grid descriptive of a certain type of poem.

1:49 pm

rh+o4

1:49 pm

Or rh plus the ending of one of the pe8 words.

1:49 pm

TY Haz!!!

1:50 pm

Some of these words are hard to clue today.

1:50 pm

You're welcome.

1:50 pm

How about pe7/36

1:50 pm

I'm not sure what to say, FMitch! I could get into trouble.

1:51 pm

pe7/36 - first one ends in Spanish day, tacked onto pe4/5.

1:51 pm

LOL

1:51 pm

The second one ends in a polka spot

1:52 pm

a German bar?

1:52 pm

There could be painful times ahead.... for cluers and cluees.

1:52 pm

why is that haz?

1:52 pm

ty all! I"m lurking while I eat, but I'd never have found all these p's!

1:53 pm

there may be trouble ahead ;a la la but while there's moon;light and babble and clues and hard words ...

1:53 pm

Nein! The sort of spot associated with polka, more in terms of material.

1:53 pm

a pretty gem, that polka spot one

1:53 pm

Let's face the music and daaaaaaaaaaaance.

1:53 pm

I faced the music and danced

1:53 pm

good song ata *humming along*

1:53 pm

Go Fred and Ginger!

1:53 pm

My dalmatian was called Polka (Spangle's forerunner)

1:53 pm

just kidding haz - I got the clue... : )

1:54 pm

you had a dalmatian? we didn't know that!

1:54 pm

thanks for those pe-s guys

1:54 pm

I'm out again - back to the salt mines. Thanks all!

1:54 pm

lurking and teaching - teaching and lurking - makes me a ...

1:54 pm

*poof*

1:54 pm

bye Kris

1:54 pm

Ty, Haz! I've got all pe-s!

1:54 pm

It's hard to know sometimes, kje. I'm told I give obscure clues and some people just don't get beyond thinking 'huh?'

1:55 pm

uno!

1:55 pm

Yes, Polka was our bimbo dog, all looks no brains.

1:55 pm

too bad for them haz

1:55 pm

Go kje go

1:55 pm

You stick with your unique style Haz

1:55 pm

You can't please everybody I reckon.

1:56 pm

Oh thats for sure and really shouldn't be attempted as madness will ensue.

1:57 pm

Yes, and we value our sanity, don't we?

1:57 pm

Can someone clue ar5-s...

1:57 pm

Oh yes! well, I would do if I still had it.

1:57 pm

ar 5 - love

1:58 pm

ar5 - adds a vowel to the dry ar4/5 - it ends up with the robot ending. Also great love ar5/12

1:58 pm

ar 5/12 = ar + robot ending

1:58 pm

That's right. You've not had your sanity for a while.

1:58 pm

fireworks!!! thanks for all the clues!

1:58 pm

Speaking of madness, Ireland has been knocked out of the Eurovision Song Contest.

1:58 pm

Yay kje!!!!

1:59 pm

The semi-final judges didn't like a turkey singing. Are they showing taste at last?

1:59 pm

Congratulaitons kje!

1:59 pm

Congrats kje!!

1:59 pm

thanks - will jet back to work now - see you all later

2:00 pm

One has to query the validity of a singing turkey though

2:00 pm

probably better than a lot of people in the charts now

2:00 pm

They thought they were being clever.

2:00 pm

kj - I should have KNOWN you'd own a jet

2:01 pm

Or maybe they just didn't want to win. Staging the contest in Ireland for years on end nearly crippled RTE.

2:01 pm

lol but that makes more sense

2:01 pm

help on the ca 6/21 and 6/36

2:01 pm

more likely

2:02 pm

ca6/21 - orange root veg

2:02 pm

DONE!

2:03 pm

Congrats Jellen or is that Tim?

2:03 pm

Both of us!

2:04 pm

thanks Mitch....don't know why I didn't see that.

2:04 pm

Double yay then.

2:05 pm

Well done Jellen!

2:06 pm

Double thank you!

2:07 pm

So I wonder what tomorrows grid will be like, bigger or smaller, what do we think?

2:07 pm

bigger

2:08 pm

and hoepfully friendly/easier

2:09 pm

Did you sort all things with the publisher in the end?

2:09 pm

I think it will be HUGE.

2:09 pm

And it will be so easy that children in the streets will be lining up to do it and laughing as they get fireworks.

2:10 pm

and all clues will be understood immediately? or not needed at all?

2:10 pm

Only the occasional clue will be needed and everyone will get them straightaway.

2:10 pm

is this babblerheaven you're describing?

2:11 pm

with no "HUH?"s

2:11 pm

You've been at the cooking sherry again haven't you.

2:11 pm

Yes, indeed. We're imagining tomorrow's grid, all shiny new.

2:11 pm

HUH's will be replaced by AH!

2:12 pm

No, I'm drunk on the eu8 of what might be.

2:12 pm

and hurrays!

2:12 pm

and the whole of babble will be bathed in a rosey glow

2:12 pm

Fish will be off.

2:13 pm

stinky rotting fish?

2:13 pm

As in fish will not feature on the menu, rather than that the fish will smell bad.

2:13 pm

No fishy smells in babble perfection.

2:13 pm

sldkfjsldkfj this is the worst grid I have seen in months =/

2:13 pm

but it's Friday, fish and chips

2:13 pm

Unless it's of smoked salmon.

2:14 pm

Then, meliae, you weren't here yesterday for the general feeling of *&£^%$ which many expressed.

2:14 pm

yes I missed yesterdays, if it was worse than this one I am glad I did

2:15 pm

IT was as bad but SO much bigger

2:16 pm

how big was it?

2:16 pm

umm 310 I think

2:16 pm

ow

2:16 pm

It has been erased from my memory already

2:17 pm

hahahah I just found the ID 5/12 word which is exactly how I feel trying to solve this one

2:17 pm

Hi meliae!

2:17 pm

Swedish Eorovision song was soooooo Swedish...again.....

2:17 pm

Hiyas Jell ((HUGS))

2:18 pm

(((Hugs back)))

2:18 pm

310 usually means you can sail through lots of normal words. Yesterday's grid came with a chisel.

2:18 pm

just start at the A's and start cluing every word please........and thank you..........rofl

2:18 pm

And I can't find au5/12 and 5/14...

2:18 pm

meliae - that's exactly how some people like it.

2:19 pm

hi, all. a much quicker qrid today than yesterday's.

2:19 pm

au5/12 - au plus first letters of French for queen

2:19 pm

Hi Angel

2:19 pm

Hi Angel

2:19 pm

ooo found the do 4/6 another good word description lol

2:19 pm

au5/12 - au plus the first letters of the Lionheart King, or the produce of the paddy field.

2:19 pm

I'd like to have a hank of Jamieson&Smith cobweb shetland wool some day

2:20 pm

Is that the wool that can be used to make a shawl so fine it can slip through a wedding ring?

2:21 pm

Yes, just that.

2:21 pm

What a wonderful description

2:22 pm

But it's literally that - I remember seeing a programme (years ago) about it, and they put the shawl through a wedding ring. It was amazing.

2:22 pm

And thanks for au-s!

2:22 pm

It's kind of the opposite of aran knitting, where you're trying to get as dense a pattern as possible.

2:23 pm

I love also aran knitting. But I can't buy that cobweb yarn from Finland...

2:23 pm

mm produces some wonderful pieces

2:26 pm

I don't know if it is available easily here either, ajv.

2:28 pm

I've found Jamieson&Smith webshop, but I don't like the id4 of buying from abroad with my hubby's VISA...

2:28 pm

down to 30

2:28 pm

i might get this done, yee hah

2:28 pm

Could you use Paypal instead, ajv? I've never had any problems with it.

2:30 pm

I must check that possibility. I didn't even think that option! Thanks!

2:30 pm

I've used it with ebay and it's always worked fine - almost a second layer of security.

2:31 pm

paypal rocks

2:31 pm

Did you know that we are paid ambassadors for Paypal? But don't let that influence you..

2:32 pm

oh you little fibber you!

2:32 pm

Yes, I'm quite the spokesperson for Morewords and Paypal. I look for their cheques daily.

2:33 pm

They keep telling me they're in the post.

2:33 pm

George is probably hoarding them under the stairs.

2:33 pm

Nice of him to pop in this evening btw.

2:34 pm

That'll be it. Once these movie stars get money in sight there's no turning them.

2:34 pm

It was nice, wasn't it? It kind of proves to all the doubters that he's real.

2:35 pm

*snort* as Ata would say

Hi again! I have 20 minutes or so to stare at the grid uselessly, like I was doing earlier. How are you all?

2:35 pm

are you saying I'm a warthog?

Or, ummm, both? It looks like...

Who, me? No, I just got here...

2:36 pm

I didn't say that, here I go causing trouble again!

2:36 pm

I was all excited when I saw there were only 112 words. Then I got to about 20 and ran out of words I was seeing. I knew I was in for a long day :P

2:36 pm

Hi Money

2:36 pm

Monkey even!

2:37 pm

Nothing is uglier than a warthog. You are no warthog, Atalante.

That happened to me this morning, kpark.

Money is acceptable.

2:37 pm

LOL

2:37 pm

I think elephants are. Just

Naked mole rats are uglier than wart hogs. Just my two cents.

2:38 pm

NEVER! Warthogs are the ugliest things ever. Elephants are beautiful.

2:38 pm

he he he *giggle*

I agree about th eelephants. But warthogs are kind of cute. And have you SEEN a naked mole rat? Or a babirusa, for that matter?

2:39 pm

My mind is closed, Monkey. Warthogs cannot be surpassed.

2:40 pm

babirusa looks like it might be related to a warthog

2:40 pm

They even look as though they should smell bad.

2:40 pm

naked male rats are gorgeous

Just... Google... babirusa...

In images.

2:40 pm

What about naked male mole rats?

2:40 pm

Ata should that be naked males full stop

2:40 pm

the pig in our local farm shop is the ugliest animal ever

2:41 pm

I did Monkey, amazing tusks

Ata, you are right in taht such a bizarre miracle as teh naked mole rat has to be beaurtiful. In that way. Only.

2:41 pm

why can't I find the or 4/4

2:41 pm

Oh my lord, is that Ata Hari? A sight for sore I's. :)

Yeah, cool critter, huh?

2:41 pm

Come, come, FMitch. George taking his shirt off was one thing, we can't talk about naked males. People might object.

Middle letter is doubled, Sharon. Then a vowel.

2:42 pm

or4/4 - o, a double helping of a consonant, finish with a vowel

It's not a real word, of course.

2:42 pm

Naked George? I miss all the good stuff.....

2:42 pm

2:43 pm

2:43 pm

Yea Ata! I hope you enjoyed your trip, but it's nice to have you home again.

2:52 pm

But tomorrow is going to be a wonderful day in babble, Lori.

2:52 pm

Oh you left some behind Lori when you went. I put them in a basket on the side for you.

3:01 pm

both

Got to go. Have fun!

3:01 pm

eu8---extreme ec

3:01 pm

I meant really weird word, BTW, not a really weird vowel : )

4:09 pm

*rushes in to room, hugging everyone and passing out... chocolate!*

4:09 pm

how bad is today's grid?

4:09 pm

it is the plural of a word meaning a starit with really violent waters

4:09 pm

*tossing chocolate at stid as fast as I can*

4:10 pm

not lovely, but not heinous...kind hateful in parts

4:10 pm

believe it or not, kje, I actually know that word, learned it in HS in a music course (of all things) where we had to compose ancient music using Phrygian scales or something like that and we used that word in the song!!

4:10 pm

OMG JBV - that is ridiculous!!! LOL

4:11 pm

thanks kje! I feel much better now!

4:11 pm

can we hear the song? - remember any of it?

4:11 pm

*steeling chocolate back*

4:11 pm

speaking of which - does anyone else out there have a personal dictionary like the one in my head where words are associated with the time, place, person you first heard it from

4:11 pm

hi stid...this grid isn't to bad, but it is making me feel like an id5/12 at times

4:12 pm

hey dan! thanks. that is my second word...

4:12 pm

depends on the word, JBV... LOL

4:12 pm

sure, some words JBV

4:12 pm

hi dan

4:12 pm

it was my 79th...and came at just the right time, too

4:13 pm

hi kje...how are you today?

4:13 pm

(clearing my throat.. mi mi mi mi....) No sound from the birds/ No sound from the sea/ The hush of the wi-i-inds/Broods over Euripus...

4:13 pm

good, thank you, and you?

4:13 pm

*wow, that was formal*

4:13 pm

how old were you JBV?

4:13 pm

(words by Euripides) - you may ask how I remember this ?

4:14 pm

pretty good so far...still have 8 couriers on the road, but they should be back in the next 3 hours. I might actually go home on time tonight!

4:14 pm

only because I still have my 9th grade notebook in my piano bench!

4:14 pm

down to 92...

4:14 pm

woohoo dan!

4:14 pm

smokin'!! stid

4:15 pm

LOL good for you JBV! I have all kinds of ephemera, but it's all hidden away in boxes still. "someday" for getting shelves, cabinets and frames never seems to come

4:15 pm

go dan go! (home on time, that is...)

4:16 pm

*dives back into the grid

4:16 pm

stid - that is some icon! looks like you need some space!

4:16 pm

oops! sorry abour the splash!

4:16 pm

point the toes next time dan

4:17 pm

uh-oh I just realized I should be in the penalty box- no one said a word, sorry!

4:17 pm

*grin* yes... I need to get my office cleared out again. We put the things that were being stored in the dining room in the office to make room for my grandmother's dining set... and, well, *sigh* you know.

4:17 pm

well, it wasn't EXACTLY the word JBV

4:17 pm

which chog post, JBV? *desperate for free words*

4:18 pm

her song has a near eu 6 in it stid

4:18 pm

4:13 stid

4:18 pm

oh -- I see that one. No, I think that wasn't the word so no PB yet. BUT if you want to put the G in the chog, I will happily stock the PB for you *said hopefully*

4:19 pm

hidey ho everyone!

4:19 pm

hey peri!

4:19 pm

ga + yo** way or the highway

4:19 pm

4:19 pm

thanks! *hands chocolate directly to kje and JBV*

4:20 pm

what word? I don't see it.

4:20 pm

pretty purple flower, mama

4:20 pm

I think she means my name which does not really count

4:21 pm

oh! *blush* I hadn't seen that one yet. thanks for pointing it out. *takes back the chocolate and head to PB*

4:21 pm

I thought that it was decided that if a person's name is in the grid, the one who says it does not have to go to PB

4:22 pm

Why not? My name counted -- or was that when the rule change happened?

4:22 pm

why? why? why taking back the chocolate!?!?!

4:22 pm

hi pe..winkle (might be tough to remember this one)

4:22 pm

and hello Kris, btw :-D

4:22 pm

don't remember but I know someone said it recently,

4:22 pm

hi Kris

4:22 pm

Hi stidmama - I'm not really here. I'm supposed to be writing a report that I should have started last week

4:22 pm

Hi dan

4:23 pm

anyway people said my name earlier and did not go to PB

4:23 pm

4:23 pm

LOL Kris, sounds like me. But I decided to give myself a half hour break today, so I am sitting until the timer goes off.

4:23 pm

stid wanted to go to PB - she's enjoying her chocolate and gawking at the cabana boy : )

4:23 pm

found or4/4

4:23 pm

much to the chagrin of my lucky dog

4:23 pm

oi + spanish for day

4:23 pm

4:24 pm

or + commercial

4:24 pm

thanks kje

4:24 pm

wow - I lost you all for like 2 whole minutes!!! it was scary!!

6:34 pm

yes, most of the people I know spend at least a couple days in a convalescent center learning how to manage their care before they go home.

6:34 pm

thanks Mama..... she is really growing......

6:34 pm

{{{kje, there there}}}

6:34 pm

{{{{hugs the big scardy cat kje}}}}

6:34 pm

unless there are complications, the usual LOS is 3 days

6:35 pm

TY (((aussie))) - hopefully that won't happen again

Peri my neighbour had a baby private health she was there for a week. Also she is so lucky people are helping her

6:35 pm

112 words 78 i've never heard of lol

6:35 pm

lol...... I like the summary of todays grid Kazozz !!

6:35 pm

shorter LOS are better for the most part - overall, hospitals are dangerous places to be, people are safer at home

6:36 pm

very true kje

6:36 pm

ok, need to go make my cup of tea !! brb... anyone want one ??

6:36 pm

I don't like hospitals at all, went home very fast after the children were born.

6:37 pm

**takes pretty teacup, and pours.... am having lemon tea, anyone mind ??**

6:38 pm

wow kazozz - lake tahoe!!! how beautiful!

6:38 pm

question for Dr.KJE...... what can I do for an ulcer in my mouth ??

6:38 pm

sounds nice

6:38 pm

mmm. thanks aussie, it's perfetto! (that's italian for "luvely")

6:38 pm

on gums or mucus membranes?

My mum had a hysterectomy and the only private (mums not private) room was in the maternity section. I was astounded at their stupidity

6:39 pm

aaah, herin

Aussie you got bon jella? Or if you like pain warm salty water

don't have the di4

6:40 pm

I do now and have the di5 too, thanks

6:40 pm

peri, I am in di** need of a pee !

6:40 pm

just rinse with antiseptic like listerine or peridex...and can use topical anesthetic like orajel or throat sprays if really painful, but should be gone in a few days

6:40 pm

lol

6:41 pm

lol, you got it as I typed it....

6:41 pm

I went to dentist today..... and he said it would take about 14 days to go **6 monthly check-up, nothing wrong but the ulcer**

erk to dentist

6:43 pm

LOL - he just doesn't want you to call him in a few days - mucous membranes heal very fast, and unless you are constantly irritating it, like playing with it with your tongue all the time, or drinking/eating a lot of acidic foods, you'll be better quicker than 2 weeks (you can hold me to that)

6:43 pm

it was ok herin, I not afraid of the dentist man !!

6:43 pm

ok gotta go back to work....hopefully i'll be back to find the last 30 words that i've never heard of lol!! TC all

6:44 pm

bye kazazz!

6:44 pm

sorry, had to step away a minute

I am eating baby fud

6:45 pm

lemon flavoured herbal tea dear....

6:45 pm

what I'm really talking about is constantly sucking on a soda (very acidic) or lemonade, etc - lemon tea should be fine

6:45 pm

why herin, why ??

6:45 pm

baby fud - yuck! (don't know what that is, but souds gross)

6:46 pm

Ah - I see ! kje... thats ok then.... **goes back to drinking lemon tea**

6:47 pm

6:51 pm

6:52 pm

hi ping

6:52 pm

stid - too early to just go lie down?

6:52 pm

hi pingster!

As i am going to the gym soon i don't like to eat too much. The site is cute. I like Lumpy the Camel

Hi Ping

6:52 pm

I think so, pugmama! only a few weeks left, then I am off for the summer. Which means, of course, that instead of working around other people's kids, I have to shepherd my own around for a couple months.

6:52 pm

PING!!!!

6:52 pm

hi pug, fern, and thazzy

6:52 pm

Ping! (makes noise)

6:52 pm

hi stid!!!!!

6:53 pm

a smaller dose of stress anyhow stid

6:53 pm

stid, i was thrill with your good news about the creative writing plan

6:53 pm

hi kje!

6:53 pm

is it me, or are the EP words especially obnoxious? *searches in dustbin for ep words*

6:53 pm

I thought they were

6:53 pm

have you started teaching or is it for next school year?

6:53 pm

there are ep words???

6:54 pm

3 of them thaz

6:54 pm

i don't have any ep words

Stid do you teach?

6:54 pm

e + f sound + what you do if you take too much heroin

6:54 pm

nice clue, kje

6:54 pm

e + f sound + either/**

back after flip need to go and stuff

6:55 pm

exceedingly great icon, fern lady

6:55 pm

we'll do it next week and the next, ping! (I am scared to death) -- I think if it works the way we are hoping, this may become a tradition. I am hoping so anyway.

6:55 pm

I'm sorry I asked

(stupid itunes)

6:55 pm

bye herin!

6:55 pm

ep 6 - add vowel to that last ep 5

huggles

6:55 pm

Not officially, lady. I am volunteering in several grade levels in a several schools this year. The "work" I do is unpaid, but important.

6:55 pm

later lady!

6:56 pm

have a good work out herin - TTFN

6:56 pm

Thx Kje

6:56 pm

stid, that is super! did you see that marcia and i did poetry with pearl's montessori class last month?

6:56 pm

yw

6:56 pm

ooh! got ALL the EP words! thanks :-D

6:57 pm

ty for ep clues, kje

6:57 pm

yw

6:58 pm

eu?

6:58 pm

yes, ping, I did! It looked like SO MUCH FUN! (but I am not brave enough for a room of preschoolers) I am really happy you did that.

6:58 pm

we were nervous because the 2-6 year age range is massive

6:59 pm

Eu 8 overwhelmingly happy feeling

6:59 pm

but they had a lot of fun with it

6:59 pm

ty thazzy

6:59 pm

yes, it is -- so many different readiness levels (and energy levels)!

6:59 pm

yw

6:59 pm

yes, the eu8 is what I feel when the teaching works... ;-)

7:00 pm

yes, me too

7:00 pm

Hi Ping!!

7:00 pm

back to find my last 34 words

7:00 pm

Hi Peri!

7:01 pm

go peri go!

7:01 pm

do you get to do much actual teaching any more ping, or are you mostly doing administrative grunt work now? (I know directors/principals get paid more than teachers, but they aren't with kids as much)

7:01 pm

eu 6 - eu + to tear or *** + vowel

7:02 pm

ty kje

7:02 pm

mostly administrative work (read: fundraising!)

7:02 pm

my biggest mistake in life ever was taking a management course in college. I so hate the paperwork, the networking, etc. I am much happier when I work directly with people.

7:02 pm

i'm rarely with the students

7:03 pm

that's too bad, ping.

7:03 pm

i try to find creative things to do, though - i've enjoyed learning about marketing, for example

7:04 pm

also i like all the web and blog stuff

7:04 pm

that's good -- you know there is a nonprofit marketing thingy through the google reader. They have had some great articles in the last few weeks.

7:04 pm

yes, and of course parenting is highly creative and hands-on... LOL

7:05 pm

there's also the satisfaction that if i do my job well, then more and more children will benefit from the program

7:05 pm

LOL

7:06 pm

we just had our big end-of-year readings last week - that's amazing and very gratifying, of course

7:06 pm

true. I think that's a real trade-off in so many things. I was very sad, for example, when a stellar middle-school teacher became the principal at my kids' school. He is a good principal, and I have no doubt that his leadership is making a positive impact on the entire school, but he was SOOOO good with the kids!

7:06 pm

oh, I hope that went well! I loved the video you posted from last year.

7:07 pm

oh! did I mention that we will bind the kids' work (those who want to be included) and add it to the school library?

7:07 pm

no - that's a wonderful way to end the project - the kids will be so proud of themselves

7:08 pm

it also motivates them to do good revisions!

7:08 pm

I hope so. At this age (12 -14 year olds in this class) they are so fragile and not confident in their abilities.

7:09 pm

me too

7:09 pm

*whew* down to 17, and all the 4-letter words are found. Now it's time to beg for clues.

7:10 pm

going backwards... UP 6 please?

7:10 pm

true - but when the adult responds positively to their unique perceptions, they perk up pretty quickly

7:10 pm

hi hurshy

7:10 pm

{{{hurshy}}} hello!

7:10 pm

yes! a bit of gentle encouragement...

7:11 pm

found the to 6/24 by myself! :-)

7:12 pm

and the RH...

7:12 pm

up6= stir, as in it caused quite an up**** (lion's noise)

7:13 pm

7:15 pm

i didn't find the pi7 stid... what is it?

7:15 pm

thanks Jellen. I suppose they do have to plan those things, don't they?

7:15 pm

stid - I started a scrabulous game with you

7:16 pm

I think it's a sort of french character, I know of it as a china doll with particolored clothes and a mask...

7:16 pm

pi7= a kind of clown, I believe

7:16 pm

will you play with me too, kje?

7:16 pm

pi 7 - boat dock + spoiled apple is ***ten

7:16 pm

thanks kje

7:16 pm

ah

7:16 pm

sure. ping will play with you kje, but not me! hmph.

7:16 pm

thanks

7:16 pm

pi7= a male character in certain French pantomime, having a whitened face and wearing a loose, white, fancy costume.

7:16 pm

now, i heard there were 3 pe7 so i guess that is all the rest of my 7's

7:16 pm

okay, now I am trying to find a whole slew of big PE words.

7:17 pm

remind me of your facebook name ping?

7:17 pm

yes, three pe 7 -- one is a green gemstone, but I don't have the other two. And there are two pe 8...

7:17 pm

stid, i didn't realize you played scrabble!

7:17 pm

pe 7/40 - pe + hook + ac 4/6

7:17 pm

TY Stid

7:17 pm

pe 7/36 - previous 4 + spanish day

7:17 pm

i play some other facebook game with you, though, and you usually have double the number of points as me!

7:17 pm

LOL yes. I just don't play well...

7:18 pm

ping's code name = robin

7:18 pm

pe 7/36 next - green birth gem - previous 4 + polka***

7:18 pm

thanks stid and kje

7:18 pm

we play scramble. But that's just word recognition, not word generation. It's the act of calling up words that I struggle with...

7:18 pm

pe 6/24 - .

7:19 pm

PE 8/65 dot at end of sentence + vowel + Cons

7:19 pm

pe8's build on the pe6

7:19 pm

I don't have the pe 6... *waiting patiently*

7:19 pm

both pe 8s are extensions of the pe 6s

7:19 pm

pe 6/24 - .

7:19 pm

pe 6/24 - "."

7:19 pm

pe 6 = not a comma

7:20 pm

come on!!! that was a good clue!!! LOL

7:20 pm

*gasp* oh dear, I shall be eating fish for YEARS after that! rofl

7:20 pm

LOL

7:21 pm

got the last of the PE words now... *slinking off to sulk*

7:21 pm

wouldn't it be funny if they used the synopsis of a move for its title?

7:21 pm

"Genetically Engineered Dinos Run Amok on a Remote Island" - really has quite a ring to it

hurshy, they do that a lot, don't they?

7:21 pm

i'll be back for my last 64 later - gotta go clean things!

7:22 pm

it would be... peculiar hurshy, yes. and not unknown.

7:22 pm

OK Ping! - started game with you too...

7:22 pm

7:24 pm

Hi, all!

7:24 pm

7:24 pm

7:24 pm

7:35 pm

Sweeny Todd

7:35 pm

CABARET!!!!!

7:35 pm

i haven't seen sweeney todd yet.

i've seen teh movie of cabaret twice and can't remember. does it have a plot?

7:36 pm

i love the music to phantom, but the movie wasn't what i wanted it to be

7:36 pm

Gwen - I bought the Hair CD a few months ago. I never had the album, as I used to borrow my friend's older sister's all those years ago.

7:36 pm

yes it does

there are at least three musical versions of sweeney todd you can see. they're all good

what's the plot of cabaret, if you can summarize a bit?

7:37 pm

lol book. i'm sure it does, but don't ask me what it is.

7:37 pm

life in the cabaret?

dawg, that's a theme, not a plot. 8-)

7:38 pm

it basically is the story of what was happening socially in Germany during the rise of the Nazi party

jacula, how'd you like hair?

7:38 pm

i saw that a very very very long time ago... i think i liked it

7:38 pm

Sally Bowles, an American singer in 1930s Berlin, falls in love with bi-sexual Brian. They are both then seduced by Max, a rich playboy. Sally becomes pregnant, and Brian offers to marry her... All the characters are linked by the Kit-Kat club, a nightspot where Sally sings. It is the city of Berlin in 1930, a time when political unrest racks the country, the economy has been destroyed, and millions of unemployed roam the streets. Enter into this chaos an American cabaret dancer, working at the downtown "Kit-Kat club" where anything goes on the stage. Into this young dancer's life come several characters such as a rich German politician, a young Jewish man struggling with his identity, an Englishman teacher from London, and of course the all-knowing, all-seeing Master of Ceremonies.

7:39 pm

all i can see in my mind is joel grey and liza minnelli...money money money...

pug, i remember that much. but what specifically? details!

7:39 pm

Typed that quick, didn't I? LOL

7:39 pm

oh, then i think i did not understand it.

jacula, thanks. is that on wikipedia? (i looked there already!)

7:40 pm

Gwen - I've never actually seen the musical (Hair) - I was too young when it came out.

7:40 pm

I dont type fast enough to give the kind of summary Jacula just supplied!

7:40 pm

i have a owie owie owie

7:40 pm

whats wrong hursh ?

the play is diff from the movie (by quite a bit) but both are super

7:40 pm

Gwen - Cabaret was from IMDb site.

hurshy, sounds like a Ruttles movie LOL

7:41 pm

i managed to cut my finger on a cardboard box today

jacula -- oh duh i shoulda looked there

7:41 pm

ai6, having more inflatable-ness than another balloon

7:42 pm

Molly Brown! that's a fun one to watch

7:42 pm

Hursh - I sympathise. I skinned my knucke on a guinea pig hutch earlier and it bled like mad. Still have a plaster on it now.

7:42 pm

thanks!

7:42 pm

I think its hillarious lbd !

7:42 pm

i hadn't seen that "more of" suffix at all, too many other things going on!

7:42 pm

Paper cuts really, really hurt though!

ouch ouch!

7:43 pm

this grid is killing me.

7:43 pm

rub some chapstick on the papercut, it will help take the sting out as well as help the healing

7:43 pm

Hello LadyNatts!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

7:43 pm

hi minver!

7:43 pm

Hursh - be sure not to handle citrus fruits, salt or vinegar until it's healed.

7:44 pm

Hey Lady!

7:44 pm

18 left! what a lovely grid this has been. Now I need a little help from my friends.

7:44 pm

hi gramma, whatcha need?

7:44 pm

hi lbdawg

7:44 pm

it's right on my index finger so it hurts just to type

7:44 pm

Hi, gramma.

7:44 pm

Hi gramma! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

7:44 pm

Not a good place to injure, Hursh, I agree.

7:45 pm

whew, half way done....omg, what a tough one!

7:45 pm

I could use a clue for the last PE8, please.

7:45 pm

hiya, greenie

7:45 pm

that's what I was just saying, asgreen!

7:45 pm

au5/16?

7:45 pm

Howdy do?, all.

7:45 pm

Don't be tempted to try any of that paint-on plaster gluey stuff - it stings more than iodine.

7:45 pm

I'm in the list, a-da done.... starting on di's....

au + your father

7:45 pm

change the last letter of the other pe8

7:46 pm

but I still have to get kiddos to bed - so I'll be in and out for a bit still

7:46 pm

gramma change last letter of previous 8

7:46 pm

thanks

7:46 pm

au5/16 is au plus not your mom but your *** harpjane

7:46 pm

au+ non mom

7:46 pm

TY

7:46 pm

Last pe8 = full stop (or monthly cycle for women) + a short way of identifying yourself.

7:47 pm

jac, that's cus of the astringent in the liquid plaster.

7:47 pm

I only tried it once, Lbd. That was enough!

7:47 pm

OI? I don't see it.

7:47 pm

I can't even get the ac's - besides the opposite of base

7:48 pm

ac+ Mr. Onassis

7:48 pm

gramma - oi + first 3 letters of dead UK princess's name.

7:48 pm

ac5= a + auto + personal pronoun

7:48 pm

Tya

7:48 pm

ac6= adds a consonant

7:48 pm

ah, that's got the 5, thank you.

7:49 pm

7:49 pm

ac+ really really dry place...like a desert

7:49 pm

whoot... thanks

7:49 pm

di+ opp of base

7:49 pm

di6= di + ac 4/6

7:49 pm

The di 6/27 word is di plus the ac 4/6 word AsGreen.

7:49 pm

7:52 pm

eu6= eu + tear + personal pronoun

7:52 pm

eu6=a strait, esp. one in which the flow of water is violent.

7:52 pm

Gwen - No. It's like a continent but different vowels after the first 2. eu + tear apart + personal pronoun.

jac, tx

7:53 pm

9:40 pm

stud muffin?

9:40 pm

manfriend?

9:40 pm

lil, little house on the pr7

9:40 pm

"other half"?

9:40 pm

sometimes i call my BF my "pony"

9:40 pm

Plumber?

9:40 pm

i am using it as a sample in a letter .... is the word money mo5,18 or mo5,16?

9:40 pm

LOL

9:40 pm

TY lbd :)

9:41 pm

your pony?

9:41 pm

no no, timnjoplin is too nice for silly monikers. I think he needs something dignified, befitting his stature as Jellen's SO...

9:41 pm

yes lady

9:41 pm

Pony is interesting...

9:41 pm

like a one trick pony?

9:41 pm

hi ruru

9:41 pm

no no... I don't want to know.

9:41 pm

foot warmer, cutie pie...

9:41 pm

hey stid-ster

9:41 pm

hey ruru

9:41 pm

Lady, have you read Anne Rice's trilogy Sleeping Beauty????

9:41 pm

but I think stud muffin is funny... (I used to call Tom my "stid muffin")

9:41 pm

significant other is dignified.

9:41 pm

FOOT WARMER! yes let's call it like it is

9:41 pm

going now asg -

9:42 pm

lol, stid

9:42 pm

okay rae, took my turn

9:42 pm

no, I don't believe I have, lil*

9:42 pm

k

9:42 pm

remote control handler

9:42 pm

severl references to men as "ponies" in those books LOL

9:42 pm

too funny, lbd.. (and too true)

9:43 pm

rofl LBD

9:44 pm

honey doer...unless he's my hubby, then it's honey don'ter

9:44 pm

ruru, you're very silly tonight. Have you had too much sugar today? *offers plate of chicken curry*

9:44 pm

whoops, LBD! sounds like your hubbydawg and my Tom would get along GREAT

9:45 pm

significant other is too long and pompous. Sprite calls her hubber her Beloved.

9:45 pm

Jellen, how about sugar daddy?

9:45 pm

hi stiddy too

9:45 pm

significant other sounds like a bad rock group

9:45 pm

lol, stid...actually, hubby is pretty good at most things, just as long as it's his idea...and it doesn't have anything to do with plumbing

9:45 pm

Mmmm...just had a snack of chicken with mango chutney (guess who cooked?)

9:45 pm

oooh, I know, your pimp

9:45 pm

*grin* "hello Mother and Father, this is Tim, my sugar daddy"

9:45 pm

perhaps just "other" then

9:45 pm

your love muffin?

9:46 pm

only 4 letters this time asg

9:46 pm

well, you could call him your "chef" and in french it's chief and it's true and different

9:46 pm

I used to call Steve "the wallet" - he HATED that :)

9:46 pm

how about the mango I tango with?

9:46 pm

good one ruru

9:46 pm

but why should a he be the chief?

9:46 pm

uhm, you could just call him Tim

9:46 pm

know I'm coming in late, but what's wrong with boyfriend?

9:47 pm

LOL AsG!!!

9:47 pm

hello jilleroo!

9:47 pm

oooh, mango - my mom gave me one tonight to bring home.....brb - it's in my purse

9:47 pm

I think "the chief" gives him the impression he's in charge, but in reality... *wink wink nudge nudge*

ir 6,24 ???

9:47 pm

hi jilli, and ruru and everyone else that popped in while I was gone

9:48 pm

well, we are MATURE kje... "boy" friend seems a little young.

9:48 pm

*mango is rescued*

9:48 pm

ir4.5 + frozen water w/o last letter, marilyn

9:48 pm

ir 6/24: having the quality of the ir 4/5?

9:48 pm

ir4/5 + most of frozen water

9:48 pm

nah, I like boy toy.... ok, I'm off to scrabble brb

9:48 pm

kje, some thought it sounded immature. Manfriend?

9:48 pm

glad to hear mango is not mangled.

9:48 pm

snap, jellen

9:48 pm

The brits say Toyboy

9:49 pm

at 44 or more, he's not likely to be a "boy"

9:49 pm

BTW, I got halfway last night and have had no time today

9:50 pm

I like manfriend...but I am strange

9:50 pm

guess it also depends on to whom you are introducing him

9:50 pm

how about, this is tim...no explanation - let their imaginations run wild

9:50 pm

I took my turn stid

9:50 pm

LN - they're always boys ...

9:50 pm

Thank you for all the interesting suggestions...

9:50 pm

hunny bunny if you want to embarrass him

9:50 pm

exactly, Natts. But if not ready for "husband", what?

9:50 pm

thanks rae brb

9:51 pm

kej...Tim (with a wink and a smirk!)

9:51 pm

what about "my tim"?

9:51 pm

My Tim has a nice ring to it...

9:51 pm

Oh, I have my husband, jilli... (2nd) ... but I was just helping out with an alternate for "boyfriend" for our 44-y-o babble friend.

9:52 pm

I still like boy friend - age be damned

9:52 pm

special friend?

ty for the ir 6 ....

9:53 pm

I think any other term you come up with, while possibly amusing, is just more awkward the BF because it just draws more attention to it - most people, of whatever age say BF

9:53 pm

my 9 year old patients say boyfriend - they would laugh at us - LOL

9:54 pm

90...not 9!!!

9:54 pm

True enough, kje!

9:54 pm

Obviously a new term is needed for this uncommitted relationship. My grandson (29) lives with his "girlfirend" (also 29, a few weeks older than he is). They celebrate their "anniversary". "Of what?" I ask, because they're not married. "Of hooking up" is the reply. Desperately seeking new terminology.

9:55 pm

hooking up sounds like a cable connection

9:55 pm

Toyboy is intriguing, though. He is younger than me...

9:55 pm

or something you do with sheep...oh wait that's crooking up...

9:56 pm

omg kje, I have the worst letters....brb

9:56 pm

yes, I refer to "my Tom" -- and it's true Jill -- with new standards and situations we need new terms!

9:56 pm

I totally set rae up for a BIGGIE. *sigh*

9:56 pm

What better group to come up with new terms than the Babblers?

9:57 pm

hee hee hee

9:57 pm

i called my hubby chief, but that's cuz of his rating in the navy.

9:57 pm

Ahh -- just thought of "Livemate" (in the sense of living together)...

9:57 pm

your turn stid

9:57 pm

ooh. you married a SAILOR? I guess you were the "homeport" gal then? *grin*

9:57 pm

set me up, too, stid!!!

9:58 pm

No cracks about Deadmate, please

9:58 pm

okay kje. I am totally getting trounced in all my games at the moment.

p3 7.36 ??/ x2

9:58 pm

actually stid, we met in the navy. i was a sailor in a training school when we met

9:58 pm

ooh how romantic!

9:59 pm

cool dawg - tell us more! how did you meet?

9:59 pm

I married a sailor too, but he stayed in the home port (mostly) and changed professions post WW2 (became an insurance broker)

9:59 pm

yeah, and when i got my bars for officer, he became my chief.

9:59 pm

oh man, LBD!!! that is SO COOL! so does he call you "commodore?"

10:00 pm

sounds like Popeye the Insurance man...

10:00 pm

my dad was navy - air traffic controller and navigator

10:00 pm

Jill -- was he that much older than you?

10:00 pm

ruru - how was your trip to SF?

10:00 pm

there have always been long-term just dating boy/girlfriends [e.g. my old roommate; who had every right to wear white after 9 years of dating] who celebrate their anniversary of 1st date

10:00 pm

no way! I told him when he asked me to marry him that he had to chose, the navy or me...i was not going to be a westpac widow

10:00 pm

good... surgery on Wednesday

10:00 pm

good for you again!!!!

10:01 pm

surgery? ruru? are you ill????

10:01 pm

no...no. I am okay ... it is my significant other

10:01 pm

Surgery? Hope everything's okay, ruru!

10:01 pm

ok, I went kje....and stid, um, trounced? you are TROUNCING me!

10:01 pm

he did his twenty and retired and then went to college.

10:01 pm

SO - LOL

10:02 pm

am I? I thought you were ahead!

10:02 pm

asg - if you played a T I can use...I will have another bingo

10:02 pm

it all depends on the letters you get...

10:02 pm

hope all will be okay, ruru

10:02 pm

ouch Rae! *stinging from massive slam I just received in scrabulous*

10:02 pm

hope it all goes well ruru - and glad somethiing is finally happening

10:03 pm

I am okay Jellen.. got to go feed the doggies..bbl.. I think we are going to be okay lbd, but we won't know more until after the surgery

10:03 pm

oh please - you'll bounce back!

10:03 pm

oh ruru, hope your RO will be feeling good soon.

10:04 pm

you will both be in my t's and p's ruru

10:04 pm

Later, ruru

11:36 pm

jellen -- re the previous conversation which ended up with your "beau" choice -- didn't mean to make light -- didn't realise it was your question and thought it was referring to live-in relationships.

11:37 pm

Dang -- jellen left at just the wrong moment!

11:37 pm

It was fine, jilli. I enjoyed the creative suggestions!

11:37 pm

Beau is charming

11:38 pm

Who knows, I may need a new term if things keep going well :-)

11:39 pm

Lovely, jellen! :D

11:40 pm

11:40 pm

11:43 pm

Well, what are we going to have in 18 minutes... (And I have still not found a webshop that sells Jamieson&Smith cobweb yarn with PayPal)

11:43 pm

He is quite shy about chatting; he focuses on the grid as well.

11:44 pm

My hubby is in the marhet place selling eggs and grilled sausages.

11:47 pm

jellen, you told us he is shy -- but why is he shy? This is such an accepting place to be.

11:48 pm

AJV = http://stores.localneedle.com/StoreFro nt.bok

11:48 pm

What do 10 eggs cost at your local shop? (just curious)

11:48 pm

Hi Ata!

11:49 pm

11:49 pm

On the other hand, flosey's hubby helps her with the grid but never chats -- and yet in other ways he is very very outgoing and a brilliant comedian (and bridge expert)

11:49 pm

11:50 pm

Thank yu atalante! That shop looks very dangerous for my purse,...
