Wow, mrp. I should do that to myself!

mine is doing it too Billy

2:02 am

I see it's 2 AM babble time again...

2:02 am

cool

2:02 am

when the game says it is 2 am, there is always a big lag. We think the servers are reset then, or something like that. Messages don't appear until after the hiccup. So if you keep hitting enter, they appear a lot of times.

2:02 am

r u all adults

2:03 am

I am an adult.

2:03 am

we are, Billy-Bob

2:03 am

2:04 am

ohk bye

2:04 am

some kids play, but those are kids that really love language and are pretty good at it. It is not a chat site for kids, there are much better and more fun sites if you want to chat with kids, Billy-Bob.

2:05 am

Are the first ho5 and ya 5 real words or babble words?

2:05 am

billy has already been told we are all adults here. It was already suggested that she find another place to chat with kids

2:06 am

2:06 am

I didn't intend to lurk, btw

2:06 am

They are both real words ajv

2:06 am

sorry :(

2:06 am

Are they fishy....?

2:07 am

if they are the ones I am thinking of aj the first is a college team the second has been negotiating with microsoft

2:07 am

the ya is a cheer of a sort

2:07 am

no problem, Billy-Bob, but I hope you understand this is a chat related to this game, with adults. So there is nothing for you here. Bye!

2:08 am

so u don't want me to play?

2:08 am

my first ho5 is h + an exclamation of pain, change 2nd vowel into same as first.

2:08 am

morning everyone :-)

2:08 am

That ya was a BIG fish... Thanks! Now the final fight with that ho.

2:08 am

you can play all you like, Billy-Bob, just don't dominate the chat.

Hi there!

Can anyone clue the sh5/12?

3:33 am

sounds like a learning facility minus one letter monkey

Thanks!

3:34 am

not still up... went to bed early, now awake and can't fall back to sleep

3:35 am

ah, me too, went to bed just after midnight - might have wakened myself coughing

3:35 am

could anyone offer a clue for ah6?

3:35 am

oh poor you, flosey... I've been sick this week too... more like a stomach flu, though

3:35 am

yw monkey

I don't seem to have any a's yet, sorry.

3:36 am

oh that's nasty Natts, hope you're better soon

3:37 am

haven't got the ah6 yet, flosey .... and I hope you feel better soon too

3:37 am

flosey - an alternative spelling for the sneezing sound. Finish with a child's rendition of a train.

3:37 am

You're welcome.

3:44 am

3:44 am

3:44 am

fine thanks Jellen, and you

3:45 am

ty haz, that worked

Doin' OK, Jellen. Bit of a UTI; that's why I'm Babbling instead of at work. But much better than it was. For the rest, just fine.

3:45 am

You're welcome.

3:46 am

I'm doing great so far--staying up all night to have an early breakfast with my beau.

3:46 am

how sweet Jellen

3:46 am

oh, it's beau, is it? you've decided on that term?

3:46 am

hope you get a chance to sleep later

3:46 am

Think so, LadyNatts. What do you think?

3:47 am

Yes, I'll get some sleep later.

3:47 am

sure, why not?

3:47 am

although, I had a dog named beau, once.

3:47 am

lol, Lady

3:48 am

kinda spoiled the word for me, as he turned out vicious

3:48 am

Ah...most unfortunate.

3:50 am

brb

3:50 am

the lo5, anyone?

Not yet, sorry.

3:51 am

lo5 is past tense LadyN

The oc5?

3:51 am

lo5 - provided with toilet facilities, British style

3:51 am

oc5 - a colour beloved by artists

3:51 am

ah, ty haz

Fish, please. And thanks.

3:52 am

You're welcome.

Ho4/6 is one of thoise words I didn't enter for a while: it'd Dutch for hat. When I finally realized it could be English also if not a noun, all came well.

3:53 am

I can't believe my last word...the ya5...

You need it or you just found it?

3:54 am

quite appropriate Natts

3:55 am

I'm surprised it can't be a ya7 but there we go.

3:55 am

just found it, monkey. thank you

3:55 am

Hi FM

3:56 am

Hello FMitch. My psychic powers are rubbish.

3:57 am

Phone

3:57 am

ty monkey

3:57 am

sheesh

3:58 am

tomorrow's will be a big grid... no? Saturday is a good day for a big grid.

3:59 am

We can only hope, though Sunday would be better for me.

4:00 am

Hello FMitch

4:01 am

well I am done the grid ... pity. But I should also be sleeping, so I'm going back to bed. (I have to be awake in 3 hours to get ready for a day of work.)

Bye, Lady! Get some sleep!

4:01 am

Hi all. Re6 clue, anyone?

4:02 am

goodnight all

4:02 am

Congrats, LadyNatts---rest well!

4:02 am

Don't worry, just found it!

Thanks, Monkey. Hi Jellen. 7 words to go!

4:03 am

goodnight Natts, sweet dreams

4:03 am

2 to go here and really stuck!

Can anyone clue the 2nd ha4/6?

4:04 am

I'm stuck on the ya5 but don't give me a clue. I want to bust my brain!

4:04 am

2nd ha4/6 is anagram of the 4th.

Hi i just crashed and burned stoopid pc. I had to turn it off twice

Thanks!

4:05 am

Got the ya5 now. It's the alt to Google! Hi herin.

Well, hi again! Glad you got it sorted out.

4:05 am

any clues for the ha8

Oh yes.

Compound word. First word, breakfast or drug. Second word, body part.

4:07 am

thanks monkey, couldn't see a x of that letter!!

4:07 am

Back from phone call -Im sure that ha8 should by hyphenated

4:08 am

seems so FM

pot**** isn't...

Have to take the dog out now. Back in a few.

4:08 am

enjoy the walk monkey

4:08 am

Are you still away visiting flosey?

4:09 am

Hey herin, what you said about your pc reminds me of the most romantic thing a guy ever said to me. It was, 'What we've got between us is like rocket fuel. We may crash and burn, but at least we'll have been once around the stars."

Monkey i had to reboot it twice (nearly made it a third (out the door)

Hydra that is so nerdie but very cute

4:10 am

He was a driving instructor, herin. The reason why I never passed my test. He moved in after the fifth lesson!

4:11 am

Haha hydra

4:12 am

After that romantic revelation from years ago, I must bog off and do some work. Byeeeee!

Enjoy Hydra

4:12 am

Byee

4:14 am

Bye, hydra

Jellen i have forgotten to ask you but how is Merlin kitty

4:16 am

4:18 am

Fireworrks the vidio went over my h 4/6 though

4:18 am

I've twigged that I need to put the heating on about 4pm -- and a jumper!

4:18 am

and now back to bed - need more sleep

Yah Diem

Yah FLosey

4:18 am

wtg flosey

4:18 am

Congrats Diem!

Oh, I just saw that three ducks, after what must have been a laborious quest from the end of the street where the cnal is, have found teh bakery: the Source of Bread. Good thing they haven't figured out the door yet. They're over there walking back and forth staring through the window.

Go Diem!

4:19 am

thank you 1st one in 3 days

Monkey that is cute

Must be the same three that followed alter and I for two blocks a few weeks ago.

4:22 am

You weren't dropping a trail of breadcrumbs so you could find your way home were you Monkey?

Monkey Bread crumbs like the witch huh?

Heehee, can never guarantee that with a three-year-old in tow, but I don't THINK so. I think they were hoping to discover the Source of Bread... which they have now done.

Monkey smart birds i hope teh town cares for them

These are mostly just wild and feral ducks. We have a group that will see to injured ones but as for the rest they don't need care; there are tons of canals and ponds everywherew ith all their natural foods, and hordes of eager children clutching stale bread. The ducks just hang out with the migratory ducks, the geese, and the swans. Guess I'm glad this isn't three swans down there-- once they decide to wander around residential streets there's no getting rid of them. NOT kidding.

Still cute. Ruled by stomach me thinks

Ducks are. Except in breeding season. That gets ugly.

Stupid, I know, but could I get a clue for the ah4?

4:29 am

ah4= sailor's greeting

Oh DUH! Thank you!!!

10 words to go...

All of them nonexistent...

Then its feathers and squaking?

Female ducks sometimes get drowned under groups of males trying to get that crucial back-of-the-neck grip.

Who can clue the 1st and last ch4's?

wow that is viscious

4:33 am

ch4.6 an uproar without the s on the end

Ducks are not gentle in the breedeing season. There are three in the local flock with old broken wings; that usually results from fighting.

Thanks!

4:33 am

ch4.9 c & what you give someone if they are crying or sad

Lest you worry about these three, they just don't need to fly. They walk and swim everywhere and have been going through life just fine for years.

Thanks again!

Completely missed that direction for the ch's!

Stupid question how does one remove a program from the pc?

That can be easy or complicated and depends on what program.

found it never mind (sigh not bright today)

Just thought I would say hello to everyone - I only came across this site on Monday and have been a quiet little lamb all week - not my usual state I can assure you, but I think I was boggled by the Babble!

Hi lori

Hi :)

4:37 am

Hi, Lorrie

Hi! Welcome to Babble. Get a good grip on your brain. Mine keeps wandering off when I'm here.

4:38 am

Hi Lorrie - South Australian? you came on a bad week, the grids have been troublesome

LOL - Well, I've finished it for today !

Top co4?

No, South Africa

I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the 300 + one!

NM, found it

4:40 am

aha - there are a couple of Babblers from SA but they don't play so often so you can fill the gap

Consider it filled! :)

Sorted

Help with non-resounding ec's? Or are they all resounding? Hmmm. Rephrase. I have 2, a 4 and a 6, taht relate to shouting in canyons. Need the rest.

4:41 am

Lorrie - and Congratulations for the fireworks!

Lorrie did you finish?

Many thanks, lyn - have a great day/evening everyone and see you tomorrow! Bye for now! :)

4:42 am

Monkey = change the last vowel of the shouting one

Bye!

4:42 am

bye Lorrie

Yah lorrie and later

4:43 am

I'm too slow to clue right now!

Thanks!

I think the hamsters are dead in my brain

4:44 am

brb

Jellen fetch me a fresh brain please

4 words left, one ec4 and three ga's. Sigh.

ec4, the first one is same as the second one, except different vowel ending

4:46 am

Monkey - did you see my clue

My mistake. Typo. Need the ec%! Yes,m thanks for the clue on the 4.

That % should be a 5.

add a consonent to the 4 hen

4:47 am

past tense Monkey of the 4

Oh, THERE!!!! Sheesh, I am an idiot today. Thanks, folks.

Well done monkey

5:56 am

Mrp you still with us

5:56 am

Oooh, awesome. Enjoy! Don't waste it on housework.

i mudt. last minute houseguest.

5:58 am

Make sure and dust above the doors and make sure the kitchen cupobards are done. Houseguests always check.

5:58 am

Well that's disappointing. :( I am hoping for this fog to burn off so I can hang this mountain of laundry on the washline.

5:58 am

Good morning, by the way!

5:58 am

I have NEVER checked that Haz !

5:58 am

Hello all

good morning babblers

5:58 am

and make sure he sleeps in the right guest room (those who were here yesterday know what I mean)

LOL no it's my dad. he wouldn't dare, he know something might bite him!

5:58 am

hi all

5:59 am

Hello, Haz and kje

5:59 am

hi all

however. my mom was a different story

5:59 am

Hi, Nono

5:59 am

Yes, my mother was something of a perfectionist where housework was concerned.

5:59 am

LOL, G'd morning Haz. Years ago, I had an Uncle who'd come home every summer from Worcester, and always left a 50 cent piece above the door to see if us kids "cleaned there". He created great mmories for us.

6:00 am

BTW, JBV, what did you end up doing?

6:00 am

G'd morning kje, Nono Awy, anyone I missed.

6:00 am

Morning Haz&kje awy and everyone else i missed

hazel have read you adventures with amusement...was drafting a reply earlier

6:01 am

hi, kje, it was no problem - I tiptoed in, the guy was snoring like a lion, didn't even know I was in there - I took my time gathering up my things, he didn't even notice

6:01 am

is that icon deep cove lake, diem?

6:01 am

figured as much - hung over?

6:02 am

You mean the CHarles and Camilla thing, TO? Latest news is that I know someone who was INSIDE.

6:02 am

LOL JBV, glad it came to a solution you could live with. :-)

time to go. see you later and happy babbling

6:02 am

yep, found out later in the day when I got home, that hubby and friend had stayed up til 4 a.m. -- big reunion time, they hadn't seen each other in 30 years or so

6:02 am

Later TO. Take care.

6:03 am

bi

6:03 am

Bye TO. And don't forget to check for dirt under your fridge. My mother once pointed out to me that diseases spread because of dirt under fridges.

haz, your mother and mine must have gone to the same Mom school - she used to have us wash the woodwork (down on the floor and up on the ceiling) regularly - I remember standing on the kitchen table as a kid and her handing the washrags up to me

6:05 am

only 1 re - woohoo

6:05 am

I ment kje sorry

6:05 am

brb

6:06 am

Yes, JBV. She came from a line of houseproud women. I've inherited some of the genes, but not all.

6:06 am

she also taught me how to sit on a windowsill with my butt hanging out so I could clean the outside of the windows - today a mother doing that would probably be accused of child abuse

6:06 am

I figured it out diem : )

6:07 am

beautiful picture, diem - is that near where you live?

6:07 am

Oh, her method of doing the landing window was to get right outside the window. People passing might have thought she was attempting suicide on a regular basis. It used to frighten the life out of me.

6:07 am

how do u get those photos

6:08 am

She perched on a tiny ledge, hanging on with one hand and wiping madly with the other.

6:08 am

great memories - something my son will never have, as I have let the tradition die (LOL)

Don't tell me. Was FMitch to blame?

yes. *zips it*

and yes - i called out for her and she was nowhere to be found

6:26 am

Ah. Another strategic retreater. We should form a club.

6:26 am

FM is often to blame for these things. She's quite rowdy.....

6:26 am

Oh, I remember now. You called for me as well (I read the chat log yesterday)

Did I hear my name being bandied about?

I don't know, scrathces he4. Im sure I would have responded if able

don't tempt the gods by trying to change the natural order of things

6:31 am

Short grids = lots of work getting done.

6:32 am

I think you're right, TO. Chat ebbs and flows.

6:32 am

I have 37 left. Going slow until the fog burns off, but nowe I think some bacon and eggs are calling. To the kitchen!

6:48 am

I'v eheard if you try 101, the whole grid turns to ch8

Have you seen Romper Stomper

6:49 am

never even heard of it

6:49 am

My brain was not in the least bogged own by the fact that chocolate is a 9 letter word. Details, details.

6:49 am

well, you sucked me into that one lori - LOL

Ok the Director is Geoffery Wright

6:50 am

6:50 am

6:51 am

I'm at 48 and have slowed...down......a.........bit

Ok sorry.

6:52 am

6:53 am

6:53 am

Congrats Angel!

7:10 am

((CArlee))) I worry about you and the kids.

7:10 am

***Puts down fork to say bye carlee, g'd morning Inge and Scrabbler***

7:11 am

bye carlee - and thanks for the c clue!

7:11 am

I'm sorry to hear that, Carlee. Take care of yourself.

7:11 am

the kids and I are fine... he has simply decided to become a very selfish bitter person instead of taking this life changing event and become a better person for overcoming his challeneges

Hugs Carlee

7:12 am

the kids and I talk..and we know where all of this is headed... and I think..ultimately they willhave a better relationship with dad in the end

7:12 am

Must be very frustrating for you, Carlee.

7:12 am

Too bad he has made that choice, but he is still grieving and I hope he can move to a better place in his mind.

7:13 am

It was....but I've made my decision....and my decision is for my kids first... and I am not doing anything rash...or hasty... within a year...not within a month or week

7:13 am

very level-headed, Carlee.

7:14 am

and perhaps witin that year..he will get to a better place in his mind

7:14 am

You must be a model for the kids--to show that a wife must be respected and loved by her husband.

Hugs carlee

7:14 am

aaawww (((carlee))) - I hope it works out

7:14 am

I am crying for all of you ...... and will send more prayers and healing vibes.

7:15 am

one thing I have learned kje..it ALL comes out in the wash...and honestly..i am ok...i am really..ok

7:15 am

good point, Scrabbler

7:15 am

my sister just went through this - and I do think she is better off... he was nuts!

7:15 am

oh man scrabs....don't cry..really... we are good..the kids and I are a team... and we are actually...spending so much time together that we have WAY more laughter now then in years cus we let his moods affect us

7:15 am

You must protect yourself and the kids from the anger, hostility, negativity.

7:16 am

in a way...already... the kids and I better now...then before...and basically we are going on with life... he can either decide to sit on the sofa feeling sorry for self..or he can get up and join us...

SNuggles into carlee

7:17 am

We love you, Carlee. I have always been impressed with your devotion to your kids. I am proud of you.

7:18 am

and I am giving him a year....his rants and tantrums we completely and totally ignore..he is acting as a petulent child and we are ignoring his tantrums...its lust like the terrible 2 acting up in a store..and mum either gives candy..or ignores...I gave candy....for 8 months..now..I am ignoring

7:18 am

thanks scrabs...

7:19 am

but...really....i am not crying... I am not upset...I am a bit scared...well..alot scared...but..I am ok...I have family around me and I good male role model in my dad for my k ids...

7:19 am

In pediatrics we teach parents of toddlers to use the phrase "If....., then...." to teach their kids about choices and consequences. That's what you are doing.

7:20 am

Well, Carlee, you are sensible and you have a support system in place.

Carlee loves

7:20 am

pretty much... yes.. and as I said..i have not decided to end this..I am letting him make that descion for himself... but the kids are not going to take a back seat anymore... period

Carlee are the kids old enough to say 'dad stop being a twerp' that kinda thing (no disrespect)

Hi All, back from run. finally got up early enough not to die of hea exposure running.

7:21 am

I am very proud of you, Carlee!!

7:21 am

Morning all. Jumped into the middle of something here I see. Carle - don't know the story but you sound like a wise woman so Rock On!

7:21 am

and right now...he expects the kids who he is supposed to be a role model for...to take a backseat to him..150% percent..and in exchange is just showing the kids how to be a selfish a**

7:21 am

Hi RTH.

Hi Jind

7:22 am

Hey Her

7:22 am

Life is full of choices and maybe someday he will decide to make better choices.

7:22 am

Hi Jindigo

7:23 am

Scrab! I say the same thing to my family and employees - you always have a choice - ALWAYS.

hi Jindingo, herin, carlee, Scrabbker. Carlee, sorry things are going so poorly.

7:23 am

off to the showers. Here's to choices, and Carlee's choice to be strong *thumbs up*

7:24 am

herin...my son..almost 16... and he has lost every single ounce of respect fro his father.. I have had to battle with myself as to enforce the "respect him he's stillyour father" or....allow him to see the truth of who his father has become and move forward and decide himself to not lie about the matter and be honest with himself....if was not his father... and he saw a dad treating a wife and kids way his father is...he'd kick that guy's a**

RED monster hugs. Carlee i can give you hugs but im kind of lost myself

G'd morning Eva.

7:51 am

and hi to you, scrabbs! How is Mary?

Hi Annie

7:51 am

Hi herin!

Did i say hi to you before i can't remember

7:52 am

Yes, you did, herin, but glad to be greeted again

Having a gold fish day

7:53 am

herin -- is the little plastic castle a surprise every time? ;)

Yep

7:54 am

LOLOLOL Eva

Oh look Castle

7:56 am

though i wish i could, i cant claim the quote as my own....its from one of my favorite singers, ani difranco -- she has an album called "little plastic castle" with a same-titled song with that line in it. :)

I love ANi.

7:57 am

i had a feeling you might be an ani fan. :)

I love the angry song that she sings that is basically a screw you song. It has been well over 13 years since i have reheard it.

7:57 am

Ok all - I've used up my "early to work" time - 38 words left and I don't understand Eva's icon clue - though the icon is really co4

7:58 am

"untouchable face" AKA, the "F You" song....heh

thank you

7:59 am

oh - got it! Thanks, Eva!

7:59 am

Mary is doing well--getting stronger. She turned 39 last Saturday and her son turned 4 yesterday.

7:59 am

kris -- think breakfast food HA** brown + part of the body on top of your neck

Goes to Amazon and shoves that in my want list

Thank you Scrabbler. That is brillant

7:59 am

Ani DiFranco is from here (Buffalo, NY area) and I take care of her 3 nephews!!

7:59 am

ive got many of her albums + ive seen her several times... have to admit ive kinda grown out of her newer stuff, but cest la vie...

7:59 am

Long time, no babble! How is everyone?

7:59 am

scrabbs, thanks for the good news about Mary

7:59 am

really scrabbler?! thats awesome!

8:00 am

Hi BGL

8:00 am

I'll check in later, all - off to work on my report

8:00 am

*poof*

8:00 am

She bought and remodeled a church downtown and calls it "Babeville". I drive by it when I go to the children's hoapital.

8:00 am

I mean *hospital*

8:00 am

Hi BGL

Really Scrabbler thats is a smile on my unhappy face today

8:01 am

hi bgl

8:01 am

i remember the first time i actually saw her live, and i was so amazed by how tiny she is in stature...

8:01 am

herin, why "unhappy"?

8:02 am

good morning beloved Babble clan

8:02 am

hi pug!

Hi Pug

8:03 am

Babeville is now home to Righteous Babe Records and is a performing site.

8:03 am

Hi Pug

Annie Pay day 0 dollars in my account to two weeks time. Bills paid and such and will have to burrow/ take $80 to pay for another bill. Sick of being broke and tired of fighting the never ending cycle of poverty. Scrabbler that is wonderful about Mary

8:04 am

i used to have an ani shirt (i dont remember when i got rid of it, but i WISH i still had it!) that read "every tool is a weapon if you hold it right"

8:04 am

The Ted Kennedy diagnosis made me relive the horror of Mary's diagnosis.

8:04 am

herin, life sometimes is not fair...a second job for a while, maybe?

8:05 am

Scrabbs, I thought of Mary immediately when I heard the news about

8:05 am

Ted Kennedy

What album is that song from Eva?

Annie i don't work. I broke my brain

8:06 am

i dont think its from a song, though i may be wrong -- shes got so many, i certainly dont know them all! heh

8:06 am

herin, then that makes me sad..hope things get better for you in the future

It is in her songs.

8:08 am

I broke my brain and I still have to work. I should move to Australia

Hey Annie there are people that are far worse of in this world. This time round the fates have given me these cards. Suck it up accept grow and learn is what i think

8:08 am

ahh, youre right -- just googled it + its from "my iq" off the puddle dive album

8:08 am

Hi Atalante

Hey Ata. Maybe we can stick our brains together for a whole new one/

Thanks Eva

8:09 am

Hi Atalante!

Ata how was your holiday?

8:10 am

lol good idea herin

8:10 am

great! just recovering from the flights now ;)

OK I am back from checking some stuff...with 27 left, this grid is getting sticky.

Hi Ata.

And Hobbit Beast unstuck him/herself from you yet?

8:13 am

nope lol. I have Hobbit stuck on one side, and Sily stuck on the other

8:14 am

Wow! I am really rusty after not playing for a month! That'll teach me to be gone so long...

Kitty how is kitty beast

welcome back bgl

Hi BGL

8:15 am

found some other awesome ani lines:

8:15 am

lol sounds familiar BGL

8:15 am

They say that the truth will set you free But then again, so will a lie... It depends if you're trying to get to the promised land Or if you're just trying to get by. * Promised Land

8:15 am

So I walk like I'm on a mission cuz that's the way I groove. I got more and more to do, I got less and less to prove. It took me too long to realize that I don't take good pictures Cuz I have the kind of beauty that moves. * Evolve

8:15 am

And we hold these truths to be self-evident: Number one-- George W. Bush is not president. Number two-- America is not a true democracy. And, Number three-- the media is not fooling me. * Self-Evident

8:15 am

Love sets fire to your schedule, And then calls an end to time. * Star Matter

8:15 am

Thanks... it's good to have a day to just sit and play (while ignoring the houseowrk!)

I must must do houseworkd today...so far just running and resting from it...

8:18 am

Am I the only one not liking this grid?

8:18 am

I refuse to do housework. My husband left the house as a rubbish tip, and he can clean it up when he gets back

I have ambivalent feelings about it scrabbs.

8:18 am

As in, "It is better than no grid at all?"

8:19 am

its a nice grid!

Nah its Meh, OK....

You went Alone/

8:19 am

could anyone clue the ah6 please?

8:19 am

My eyes/brain don't like it ...yet....I still have the migraine that I woke up with yesterday AM.

8:19 am

Morning, all. Oh, Ata - my DH is the same. Can't leave him unsupervised for a minute.

8:20 am

Sneeze sound/word

pug its a sneeze with an unusual spelling.

8:20 am

Hi Judi---is he trainable?

Lol.

8:20 am

had afeeling it was sneeze related just couldn't figure how to make it work

8:21 am

We're still in training, Scrabbler... going on 23 years now. His motto: "The world is my laundry basket. I shall not wont."

8:21 am

ty red

8:21 am

My colleague says, "Males are trainable--start when they are little boys." She has a son, 3 step-sons, and her husband.

8:22 am

So there is hope, Judi.

8:22 am

hehehe, Judi!

8:22 am

Or: "My wife is my mother. I shall not wont."

8:22 am

Well, that's his problem. I always tell him he is the victim of an over-indulgent mother. She did everything for him.

8:23 am

I thank my mom-in-law - she did a GREAT job with my hubby! He cooks and does laundry - he just doesn't clean to my standards...

8:23 am

the older I get the more virtue I see in staying single

8:23 am

so did my husband's mother. he's having a bit of a shock now lol

8:23 am

I have trained him to vacuum, mop and do odd jobs around the house. He's actually coming along well in his training.

8:23 am

me too, pug, and all my friends are envious.

8:23 am

Good job, Judi!!

My B.f is perfectly trained. But he works alot and has me to tend to wifie duties.

8:24 am

Laundry and cooking still elude him. Probably just as well.

8:24 am

When my nephew stays overnight here I train him and tell him that someday his wife will thank me.

8:25 am

And that he will thank me.

8:25 am

My bf had a very demanding mother, he had done all the cleaning in their house since he was ten. In our apt, we share all duties EXCEPT dishes, which I have refusedto do for years.

8:26 am

I suppose we are fortunate compared to most, Scrabbs. I can't watch Wife Swap or Super Nanny without screaming at the television.

8:26 am

Okay - must take break. 25 to go and I am typing and retyping the same words... off to the kitchen I go. See you all later...

I am too well pampered and cared for to mind being wifie

8:26 am

Well, I must get ready for an early lunch with a friend before I work from 12-5.

8:26 am

Enjoy the day everyone!

8:27 am

I agree about Wife Swap, Judi! I am always thankful for the balance of our life! :)

Enjoy lunch Scrabbler

8:27 am

Enjoy, Scrabs!

8:27 am

Bon appetit, Scrabbler. See you later.

8:27 am

bye scrabbs!

8:37 am

I'm sure somewhere in the world its a delicacy!

8:38 am

Wassamatter, herein? Not into the fear factor food?

No thats not my type of fud nor show

Don't get me wrong if i had to eat them to live i would

8:39 am

Brave, Ata! Never had the opportunity to sample bug food.

8:39 am

8:39 am

8:42 am

*off to google balut*

8:42 am

8:43 am

Ack! Ack! Ack. Balut is repulsive!

Lol gigle snort. Waited for that one

8:44 am

yep! ew!

8:44 am

Good God. Plain locusts are cuisine compared to that mess.

8:44 am

Pug Google it

8:45 am

Hey y'all

8:45 am

Yes, Pug. Must be seen to be believed.

8:46 am

What NOT to eat while visiting the Phillipines.

8:47 am

HAPPY BABBLING & FIREWORKS TO ALL!! back later to clue...le poof!

Later Pug

8:47 am

there is something just intrinsically *wrong* about balut! though I'm sure it tastes ok

B>f has tried weird food wonder if he would eat that

8:48 am

hello everyone, now I must check to see what balut is before I start the grid

HI Pab

8:50 am

WOOT done no list

8:50 am

8:50 am

herin, good for you!! w00t w00t

8:50 am

yay herin!

yah ok i think i need some form of sleep now

8:51 am

first phantom = hairspray

8:52 am

Used more words to hunt them all down

8:54 am

*feels smug at not using the list or morewords*

Go Ata can't think of that many words

8:55 am

monkeys are friends :):)

8:55 am

grr...phantom; school

8:56 am

*Admires Ata's smugness*

8:56 am

*preens*

8:57 am

good for you, Ata!

8:57 am

We've missed that level of smugness.

8:58 am

Done!

8:58 am

yay annie!

8:58 am

Oh well done, Annie!

8:58 am

My hammy has started being quite smug...I get smugged all the time :)

8:59 am

What does hammy have to be smug about? Apart from being owned by you?

8:59 am

That would be sufficient I should think!

8:59 am

AFternnon all

8:59 am

I mean, does hammy have a superior grade of hamster food?

9:00 am

Hi Haz and FM!

9:00 am

hello

9:00 am

Does hammy run on a gold plated wheel?

9:00 am

Hello FMitch!

9:00 am

hello jane

9:00 am

uni, I waved at you as I flew nearly over Nova Scotia the other day

9:00 am

Hello Annie! and Haz and harp and Mrs Smug too

9:01 am

Hammy does tricks for attention whenever he is lonely...and will do *anything* for a sunflower seed (note the icon) He's given up on fear and will run off any height. It's worrisome.

9:01 am

Dr Smug, please

9:01 am

Bows in acknowledgement to Dr Smug

9:01 am

That's what that was! I knew I saw a tiny little Ata head and hand in an airplane over my head...did you see me waving back?

9:01 am

Darn. I forgot to curtsey to Ata.

9:02 am

does anyone have an icon clue for me?

9:02 am

You'd think I'd have perfected it, having seen royalty this week and all.

9:02 am

<----------icon clue

9:02 am

fireworks!

9:02 am

yay ypsi!

9:02 am

Finito! Pyrotechnics!

9:02 am

Love the pic Uni.

9:02 am

Congratulations ypsi!

9:02 am

Congrats ypsi, Judi!!!

9:03 am

Gosh, everybody is finishing at once. Well done to all.

9:03 am

yay Judi!

9:03 am

Congrats, wonderful firework display

9:03 am

does he do somersaults yet, Uni?

9:03 am

Now I'm bored.

9:03 am

if one can reheat, why can't one reco**?

9:04 am

thanks haz, i'd forgotten all about those interesting little people!

9:04 am

I heard that hamsters can do triple axles with pike twists.

9:04 am

Glad it worked, harpjane!

9:04 am

Well, there are flips involved, but I doubt they are on purpose. I love when he balances on one foot and uses his other three to clean himself.

9:04 am

those hamsters would indeed be smug

9:04 am

off to get a new icon now

9:04 am

I think we need video of that, Uni

9:04 am

Yes, smug and dizzy.

9:04 am

I know i'm always mystified by what you can use re with and when you can't. Who made it up?

9:05 am

probably someone named "re"

9:05 am

very choosy about what he puts his name to, you know?

9:05 am

***Wonders if the police should be called to report the smugging***

9:05 am

when enable wants us to, and when it doesn't

9:05 am

There's probably a committee that sits every year. 'To re or not to re'

9:05 am

Ata - He's really quite impressive. Our cameras are old though and are too slow to really catch him move, as he is so fast. I have been trying to get a pic of it for days.

9:05 am

good one re(dshoes)

9:06 am

nice babs1, nice.

9:06 am

groan Lori

9:06 am

that is the question Haz.

9:06 am

I knew Lori would catch that...btw, the quotations marksin your profile aren't coming out properly. Check it out.

9:06 am

***tough crowd***

9:07 am

Everybody runs to look at Lori's profile.

9:07 am

don't worry Lori, Haz's (re)fe(re)nce to The Bard was worse.

9:07 am

Hmmm, why did that happen? Oh well, I'm too lazy to change it. Thanks heavens red! :-)

9:08 am

(Debating whether to throw a tantrum or not)

9:08 am

The upside of today is that the fog isn't burning off, so thusly defers my laundry plans.

9:09 am

yay for fog!

9:10 am

Are you jet lagged ATa Hari, or adjusted already. Had to Google Balut, I so wish that I hadn't......

9:10 am

Ata adjusted?

9:10 am

You can't be jet lagged and smug.

9:11 am

Smugness outweighs jet lag every time. Look at Michael Winner.

9:11 am

sorry, lori. its not pleasant, is it?!

9:11 am

unjet lagged now :D

9:11 am

LOL

9:11 am

hello everyone, for those of you in the Uk is it not lovely, to have the sun smiling, so good for the soul.

9:11 am

He even has his own jet - cue extra smugness to conquer the lag.

9:11 am

I've even just done sudoku

9:11 am

Hello elder.

9:12 am

Hi elder, it is indeed between showers tthough.

9:12 am

G'd morning elder. Send the sun across the pond if you please.

9:12 am

trying out today's icon

9:12 am

Haz see you have given a clue :) what a kind though.

9:13 am

You're welcome, elder. Ata may be smug, I try to be kind.

9:13 am

bye dear babblers. off to do chores...ugh

9:13 am

Bye Annie!

9:13 am

No Annie, chores are evil! :-) Have a great day.

9:13 am

I can be kind *and* smug at the same time

9:13 am

You are so brave and determined Annie!

9:14 am

Smund ?

9:14 am

Lori, I expect it's drifting to you, as out weather for our Bank holiday is grim. Enjoy.:)

9:14 am

thank you, thank you! poof!

9:14 am

That's true, Ata.

9:14 am

Ata smug - surely not :)

9:14 am

Thanks elder, much appreciated.

9:15 am

*grin*

9:15 am

Smug? She defines the word, elder. (this is all in fun, you understand)

9:15 am

Ata did you leave a trail of smug all over Oregon too?

9:15 am

Hi everyone. Is the co6 27 related to others?

9:15 am

I was just thinking of you know who ...

9:15 am

Smug of tea anyone?

9:15 am

Yw , oh! to have the power to grant more...

9:15 am

co6/27 - one on an equal level with another

9:16 am

No jandel

9:16 am

Watch you don't get smugged or smuggled.

9:16 am

Yes, so was I, Atalante.

9:16 am

oh, of course. well, all over Astoria anyway. Giving Viggo some of my prints was utter smugness

9:16 am

Haz I understand....

9:16 am

We are her loyal smugjects...

9:16 am

Gasp, youdid!?

9:16 am

Haz, similar to FMitch causing trouble:)

9:17 am

Good. It's just that it was taken wrongly by somebody once and horribly mangled.

9:17 am

Sometimes, when I can't sleep at night, I think of her smug and fall peacefully to slumber...

9:17 am

Trouble? Fmitch defines the word.

9:17 am

Oh dear um... unpleasant ...

9:17 am

Hey hey!

9:17 am

Haz LOL..

9:18 am

I'm a good girl I am

9:18 am

Oh, oops FM's still here..... :)

9:18 am

hello FMitch i see your rising :)

9:18 am

Yes, she is but it does her no harm to know what trouble she causes.

9:18 am

Hey now...no attacks or I might have to ask someone to leave.. ;)

9:19 am

I am a rising star :)

9:19 am

You're shaping up beautifully in your deputy role, Uniquity.

9:19 am

FMitch.. I see, a quote from my Fair Lady and looked what happened to her :)..

9:19 am

Well done elder, you get today's prize for spotting that.

9:19 am

We wouldn't want to offend anyone...enough sensitivity about as it is.

9:20 am

Uni always did toe the line. Didn't get my genes.....

9:20 am

Uni, i would like to stay, as i have just arrived.. Please.. could it be someone else?

9:20 am

hello, I'm back, computer froze on me when it saw what was on the screen, balut, I am familiar with it, have seen it on fear factor and survivor

9:20 am

FMitch Goody!! and the prize is ...

9:20 am

so glad I've already had breakfast

9:21 am

hello Pab.

9:21 am

I guess it was Pab who had to go..Welcome back!

9:21 am

LOL pab, wb

9:22 am

A box of babble Tshirts and a copy of the Enable Dictonary

9:22 am

Enable dictionary...*shudder*. I should try writing a paperusing ONLY enable words.

back again from dog walking. will never finish even this tiny grid!

good luck Uni...

9:24 am

That would be OK to a point if your subject was Celtic history or something like that

9:24 am

LOL , thank you, I do not want to sound ungrateful...:( but was hoping for fresh cream cakes or something else, a little wicked ..:)

9:24 am

Hello Red..

9:24 am

wb red

9:24 am

Okay, mentioning dog walking reminds me that Spangle is ready for some exercise. And of course, it's sunny here. No fog for me..... See you later!

9:26 am

this is a hard grid for me

9:27 am

Ah 'fraid not elder, but you can have 2 of the cabanna boys for the bank holiday instead

9:27 am

Bye Haz, will expect G.C. tomorrow .. or trouble ..

9:27 am

Whoa, we're just handing out the Cabana boys now?

How does one get a Cabana Boy, and do they do houseworkm or just look good.

9:28 am

Hey! Where's my cabana boy?

9:28 am

Shhh Uni, I've aready put your selection to one side

9:28 am

am I here?

9:28 am

I'm rather attached to Juan

9:28 am

FMitch, Maybe I have been in hole ... who are the Cabanna Boys/ and I tend to like men above boys :)

Hi Lexlee..

9:28 am

G'd morning lex, far as I can see, yes

Hello, all! And welcome back, Ata!

9:47 am

hi Vicuna

9:47 am

Hello Vi :)

9:47 am

hello Vi.

9:47 am

in the "Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance", its a compilation of short stories edited by one of the UK's main paranormal agents. and all stories of not "typical" romance status. none are vampire meets girl, sucks blood, shags, lives happily ever after

9:48 am

it was her *first* short story submission to an agent

9:48 am

hi Vicuna

9:48 am

That says something for her talent then!

9:49 am

I like to think that these paranormal agents of whom you speak are themselves undead or something.

9:50 am

trish (the agent) is canadian. does that count?

help with the co 6??

9:50 am

lol. You'd have to ask Lori and Uni about that.

9:51 am

Are you babbling today Vi?

9:52 am

co +brain container

9:52 am

ok, here's my icon clue

9:52 am

9:55 am

I don't think we have any actual fish in the grid today, which is unusual. Or at least if there are I haven't found them yet.

9:56 am

yes, there's a fish

vicuna, maybe, someone had a fish up as a clue. But I didnt know which one it was and I am almost done...

The box says for ages 2 to 5, so i figure she can get some good use out of it..... I see youngsters in the neighbourhood who have small motorbikes, they are so stupid with them, riding on the road with cars coming and going.... It really frightens me to think what could happen.... Even though it says 2 to 5, she will be supervised at ALL times !!

11:26 am

he was her come-uppance for thinking her 1st child was so angelic due to their superior parenting skills - LOL

11:32 am

we would blame her anyway : )

11:32 am

nance, I have been away, how are you?

11:33 am

FMitch! FMitch to blame, it's the new political slogan. It's because of her that Hillary is still campaigning.

11:33 am

Hi Nance

11:33 am

Bye kje

11:33 am

11:33 am

Now I draw the line at being blamed for anything religious or political.

11:33 am

can we blame her for George Bush too?

11:34 am

hey haz, kje, jellen, caitlyn, phaeton & all

11:34 am

11:34 am

Bye kje.

11:35 am

Thank you Haz

11:36 am

I'm being kind today, you see. Ata is smug, I am kind.

11:37 am

How long will that last for Haz? LOL

11:37 am

and Im just the horrid horrid babbler that is horrid but can be blamed for everything? Seems to be a bit of unbalance somewhere

11:37 am

ha4/7 help - not horse food

11:37 am

caitlyn - whatever can you mean?

11:37 am

but hey, such is my lot :)

11:38 am

ha4/7 - reverse the letters of the horse food (last two)

11:38 am

LOL

11:38 am

You're not suggesting that I'm ever anything but brimming over with the milk of human kindness?

11:38 am

11:39 am

11:39 am

Well, I wouldn't go that far, caitlyn.

11:39 am

haz - that didn't work

11:39 am

I only see one ha 4/7

11:39 am

Sorry, I'm havering, lexie. Give me a minute.

11:40 am

havering?? another new word for me....

11:40 am

There is only 1 ha4/7 - plenty of ha4/6

11:40 am

it's me it's me - I mean hO4/7

11:40 am

Havering - Scots word for being muddled or confused and speaking nonsense.

11:41 am

*snort*

11:41 am

Come to think of it, it's a jolly useful word.

11:41 am

an alternative word for havering would be dithering.

11:42 am

And it's proounced like savour.

11:42 am

Or in Wales its mithering

11:42 am

I like it...which means my husband would hate it

11:42 am

ho + sometimes vowel + first vowel

11:42 am

all of those not American for sure

11:42 am

If you appreciate someone's confusion you would be savouring their havering.

11:42 am

OR ho + sometimes vowel + plural letter

11:43 am

another Babble Story Several ch5,16 were sitting with their ay5,16 in the lo4,6 having just arrived at the theater in several ch5,18. The ch4,8 (or sh4,6) of one of them, a da4,7, was driven by a notorious ha8,60 who had hidden his ha4,6 under the ha4,6 on the lockbox. He ga4,7 to get it and bumped his he4,6. The oh4,5 and ah4,5 where atypical of the invective normally spewing from this ya5,16. The loud cries ec6,27 throughout the oc5,14 od4,5 and the co4,6 crowd oh4,6 and oo5,14. Gu 4,8 and furious the co6,27, a ga4,8 ch4,7 co5,15 ch4,6 to his lady, took a ch4,9 of al4,4 juice and told himself to remain co4,5. Sh4,6 and sh5,14 with only one sh4,5 he sh6,24 the dog that he wanted to sp4,7 and ga5,20 the ha8,60. Ah6,27 went the ha8,60, ec4,6 of these ho5,16 cause me to sneeze. Eg4,7 said the co6,27, do I hear an ec4,6? What’s the de4,5? Go to ga4,6!

2:24 pm

2:26 pm

2:26 pm

2:27 pm

ga+ **it your work for errors

2:29 pm

knight- was htat all 75 words?

2:33 pm

guess i will slip quietly away while the chat is dead......see you all next grid

2:33 pm

no nbj, i was running out of ideas

2:34 pm

it used 41 words

2:34 pm

still impressive!

2:34 pm

thanks, these small grids inspire boredom

2:35 pm

enough to make one a ha8,60

2:36 pm

at least i got to finish this one. last couple were no-go's for me. i only wish i could be a ha8 in my life now. sadly, i have children to set an example (or be a warning) for

2:36 pm

thanks nbj!!!

2:37 pm

true, mine are grown, but still no desire in me to start a drug habit :)

2:37 pm

yw, glad you got it

2:38 pm

i did all that in the 80's. well not THAT much. but my share of experimenting

2:38 pm

didn't we all

2:39 pm

enjoyed it, too. but now, along with kids, my husband would be visited by the men in suits if any drug hanky panky was going on

2:40 pm

80s? not 70s? : ) ha4/6 was so passe by the 80s - LOL

2:40 pm

hello all

2:41 pm

not in my circles. shrooms, lsd, maryjane and grateful dead. we were in palo alto and having a lot of fun

2:43 pm

I graduated HS 1981...and it seemed by the time I got to college that people were starting to slow on the drug scene a bit, meaning it became more marginilized rather than mainstreamish

2:43 pm

clue for co 5/18 please

2:44 pm

i thought you were younger than me. i gradded in 85

2:44 pm

i graduated HS in 1971, drug culture was in full swing

2:44 pm

no 5/18, but the co 5/14 is PT of pigeon sound

2:45 pm

yes, that is when I think of it being Knight

2:45 pm

I am 44 jasmine, but graduated early from HS

2:45 pm

so, yes that would make me older than you (thank you SO much for pointing that out - LOL)

2:46 pm

well, there was a big resurgence in the 80's of such activity. i DIDN'T do coke

2:47 pm

oh yes, coke was big in 80s, as was heroin, but LSD and speed and such was earlier I think

2:47 pm

either way, I missed it all - bummer - LOL

2:49 pm

we were into the so called "natural" drugs. how lsd fits with that, not sure. but it was the "thinking" persons trip of choice as stanford

2:49 pm

*at*

2:49 pm

actually, the only one I am curious about is LSD - some of the writings say it was amzng for creativity...as long as you didn't have a bad trip

2:50 pm

nowadays there is meth which scares the beejesus out of me- yikes!

2:51 pm

our only drugs were nicotine and alcohol back in the 40s

2:51 pm

in B-more, it was still all about the heroin - and was devestatingly sad in certain neighborhoods, but you are right, the drgs seem to be getting meaner and more addictive

2:51 pm

hi all

2:51 pm

i never had a bad trip. ever.

2:51 pm

hi jilli

2:51 pm

jilli- pot was around then

2:52 pm

clue for co 4/5 please

2:53 pm

maybe, but it wasn't considered cool -- all of it was around long before -- there's an old song, "Morphine Bill and Cocaine Sue, were walking down the Avenue..."

2:53 pm

well, at least in your circles... opiates and coke date back to the late 1800 early 1900 although their bad effects were not clearly understood. There was a famous surgeon at Hopkins who was a opiate addict and then switched to coke in the late 1800s

2:53 pm

co 4/5 - opp of hot/warm

2:53 pm

hello, help with The A next to the L please

2:53 pm

oops -- PB for me (co4/5)

2:54 pm

funny jilli - waht era and what are the rest of the lyrics?

2:54 pm

al 4/4 - dessert healing plant

2:54 pm

doh, thanks kje

2:55 pm

desert actually - LOL

2:55 pm

kje- i don't eat that for dessert

2:55 pm

I think it's 20s -- "Oh, honey have a [sniff] on me, honey have a [sniff] on me" Several verses -- will google

2:57 pm

yes, 20s would sound right - coke was popular in the jazz age

2:57 pm

last one...ha8/60 clues?

2:57 pm

love it, jilli. wasn't there reference to reefer madness and stuff, too?

2:58 pm

ha 8 - potato breakfast dish + noggin

2:58 pm

lmj - it is slang for a marijuana user

2:58 pm

well there you go kje. nice clue. no questionable association there

2:58 pm

until then

2:58 pm

that's why you all were talking about marijuana!

2:58 pm

2:58 pm

kerry...pottyed in England

6:16 pm

if u went to the washroom u did this kerry

6:16 pm

if you went to the bathroom in England you would have done this

6:16 pm

that is strange carlee -- I usually think of you Canadians as being somewhat technologially advanced (when you're not felling trees and wearing tooks and playing hockey/curling) ;-)

6:16 pm

brb...courier here

6:17 pm

LOL.... never would have guessed...ty

6:17 pm

it's a past tense word kerrylou

6:17 pm

YAY KerryLou!

6:17 pm

6:17 pm

tukes... not tooks... hehehe... its just...the service not an option....

6:17 pm

<POMPOMTOSS> for kerry

6:18 pm

Yay Kerry!!

6:18 pm

*grin* I only know how to speek Canadian -- not spell it! though I suppose I'd better learn one of these days, with all my canadian friends!

6:18 pm

tyvm... thankfully it was a short one.... never seem to have time to get the long ones done.

6:18 pm

carlee it's my granddaughter Amanda's 20th birthday today how about a pom-pom toss for her?

6:18 pm

6:19 pm

Happy birthday amanda! *bakes a triple-layer cake with fancy filling and pretty flowers on top*

6:19 pm

bye kerry u2

6:19 pm

later kerrylou!

6:19 pm

ooh thanks she'll love that

6:20 pm

I just looked it up. Also spelled tuque (French), related to the English word toque/touque

6:20 pm

yeap.....loads of variations...

6:21 pm

and if you live in Canada in the winter you need one

6:21 pm

my son wears ballcaps...backwards

6:21 pm

don't they all lol

6:21 pm

need one here, too. at least sometimes. except my boys. They don't wear hats. EVER!

6:21 pm

in canada...ummm.no..but we close to detroit...so

6:22 pm

the younger was two months old and I put a little hat on his h4 and he snatched it off! THREE TIMES! I gave up.

6:22 pm

he was letting you know stid

6:22 pm

ball caps are not really popular among the local kids, not sure why. They were when I was their age.

6:23 pm

my son would never wear shorts in the summer just heavy jeans then he got married...

6:24 pm

well, I need to corral the kids into the car and set off for town. Back tomorrow sometime.

6:24 pm

"Look at the nice shorts Beth got for me " lol

6:24 pm

Happy Trip stid tc

6:24 pm

oh yes. The same kid who doesn't wear hats won't wear shorts either! LOL I guess he has shy knees.

6:24 pm

later all! *poof*

6:26 pm

I have to make dinner I suppose. See you later.

6:27 pm

good evening, babblers - I 'm back to find my last 7 words - most of them are in the middle column - g - o - h

6:36 pm

6:36 pm

6:36 pm

go4, not bad

6:36 pm

6:36 pm

6:36 pm

6:37 pm

hell, Natts, jbv, krisE

6:37 pm

6:37 pm

yes, a big giant tuna!

6:37 pm

snap, Lady!

6:37 pm

hi dc and Lady

6:37 pm

hell to you too, dc :D

6:37 pm

hell and hello

6:38 pm

dc, haven't "seen" you for a while - how's things?

6:39 pm

alright, long 6-day week this week, and i'm running on about 4.5h sleep :)

6:39 pm

I made the mistake of babbling in the middle of the night, when I woke up at 2:30 a.m... finished the grid, and now I have nothing to occupy me until hubby gets home

6:39 pm

just starting the househunting thing, planning to move to Arlington, VA

6:39 pm

so sorry, dc

6:39 pm

fireworks

6:39 pm

i did it through lickety @ wk and uploaded it now that home.

6:40 pm

Woohoo, jess!

6:40 pm

I lived in Arlington many years ago - on Columbia Pike

6:40 pm

congrats, jessic4!!!

6:40 pm

yay jessic4

6:40 pm

Good luck in the househunt!

6:40 pm

i'm looking along there, now jbv, i lived near Columbia Pk and Geo Mason some years ago myself.

6:40 pm

FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT!

6:40 pm

woohoo god!

6:41 pm

(I like saying that :)

6:41 pm

congrats, godthaab!!!

6:41 pm

yep, my old neighborhood - I remember it very well

6:41 pm

That's something that strikes me about US citizens... they seem to move around the country a lot. I'm living in the very house I grew up in - parents bought it when I was 2.5

6:41 pm

Thanks.

6:42 pm

Some stay - around here, if you move from Gloucester to Wakefield (about 10mi,you've moved far away)

6:42 pm

Natts, Arlington is only 15mi from where i grew up, and next door to where i was born. I've lived in Northern VA or DC for all but 2 years of my life

That's unusual these days in the US, Lady. We're generally expected to not live with our parents anymore when we hit our late teens; to be "living with one's MOM" is a sign of failure, esp. for men.

6:42 pm

Lady, when I moved to DC from NYC I was the first person in my family to venture out beyond the homestead, I grew up in the house my mother was born in (in 1919)

6:42 pm

ah, then people do gravitate back home, then.

6:43 pm

.my parents moved here from Ohio before i was born, because my dad got a job with the US Gov't

6:43 pm

my dad was a Gov't employee, too, dc!

6:44 pm

oh no - my ex-husband and I moved in here after parents moved out to live in the country. I had only lived on my own (in the same city) for about 3 years.

6:44 pm

mine was Secret Service. I'm working for Customs now.

6:44 pm

Mine was internal revenue; before that the US Army

6:44 pm

my sister lives about 5 miles from mom, in the next town north. my goal, from age 4, was to move back inside the beltway again.

6:45 pm

It's nice being in a familiar place. Many of the neighbours who watched me grow up have now watched my children grow up. And my kids would love to keep the house if I ever moved away.

6:45 pm

Is that going to be an up-in-price move, dc?

6:46 pm

no, KrisE, i live in Reston, Arlington will actually be cheaper.

6:46 pm

my sister and i look forward to selling mom's house someday. We don't like the neighbourhood, though it was a nice place to grow up in back then.

6:47 pm

Lots of tech in Reston

hi guys, just popped in for a very quick minute between naps to say hi

6:47 pm

how ARE you, lindy??

6:47 pm

Woohoo, LIndy! How are you feeling?

6:47 pm

howdy, lindrick!

i'm feeling really great kris thanks

hi dc

6:48 pm

interesting chat, can I interrupt for another clue? need one more o from the dead center - I have od 4, oh 4

6:48 pm

indeed, krisE, my job just moved to Herndon from Springfield.

hi lady i'm great

6:48 pm

glad to hear ur doing well, lindrick!

i have had no pain at all

6:48 pm

HEY, Lindrickway! WELCOME BACK!

thanks guys

i'm back home now

6:48 pm

i've got a great od4 for a clue!

6:48 pm

Lind - just popped on to see if kje was here. glad to see you back. should we make you laugh?

i can laugh asgreen it doesn't hurt

so go ahead

6:49 pm

Perfect grid for you to come back to - it's cute and friendly

6:49 pm

I think I have that one, dc - plural of theater

6:49 pm

oc5 is a color (I think) ... spelled different than how I would spell it.

6:49 pm

Ok - someone tell a joke for LIndy

6:49 pm

I have the oc5, but not the od or the oh

6:50 pm

ah, thanks, Lady!!

Um. All the jokes I know are from the fourth grade. They're all in the "what's brown and sticky?" category

6:50 pm

re oc5 and yelow oc5 are both colours, if this one spelled funny in the grid.

6:50 pm

you're welcome!

6:50 pm

KrisE ... dc clued it, sorta... he had a great ID** but you use an O instead

6:51 pm

i have fun with punny clues :)

6:51 pm

1 more word - a c- but since I didn't use the list- not sure what I need, I have 6 ch - are there more?

6:51 pm

Thanks, Lady (and DC)- I'm thick today

is it a nice grid?

6:51 pm

What is brown and sticky?

6:51 pm

and 6 co and 1 cr

It's a bad word of a grid

A stick!

don't know what is brown and sticky?

6:51 pm

as for the OH.... Just shorten your oo by one vowel.

6:51 pm

I got to 50 before going to the list

6:52 pm

7 COs, 6 CHs, and a CR

oh i might just have a go since i am awake!!

6:52 pm

this one is tougher than it looks, but not godawful.

6:52 pm

ok, thanks, dc, i'll keep looking...

6:52 pm

alas, I only got to 43 before going to the list... but it was 2:30 a.m!

6:52 pm

thx lady

6:52 pm

marmite is brown and sticky :)

It's not as sticky as a stick!

6:53 pm

Jump in, Lindy -

6:53 pm

so is pine sap (or gum)

i have done kris!! lol

6:54 pm

I'm at 20 and I just started using the list

6:54 pm

it's no where as bad as yesterday's!

6:54 pm

we used to get in trouble from the pine tar on our clothes. we used t spend lots of time in a white pine grove near home.

6:54 pm

there were 2 or 3 grids I didn't finish in the last week... very disappointing.

6:54 pm

true, asgreen!

6:54 pm

well, I only have one more word so I think I can do this without the list

6:54 pm

go, jbv!

I just quit yesterday's. I don't give two hoots about a rating and it was killing my peace

6:55 pm

ooohhh... good for you, JBV!

go jbv go

6:55 pm

I haven't finished any all week. Too much work! Crap!

6:55 pm

Go JBV, go!

6:55 pm

I think the key is to be playing when the chat is thick with clues (and paying attention to it). I sometimes dive in with my eyes closed and miss all of that.

6:56 pm

i can easily see why samantha. i was at work and bored, so trudged on through yesterday.

DC, why do you use a Dvorak keyboard?

6:57 pm

And the icons should be clues today :)

6:57 pm

i had trouble with qwerty, gave dvorak a go 13 years ago, never looked back.

okey doke!

6:58 pm

dvorak so much easier. i'd not noticed the right hand does nothing at all on a qwerty layout, esp since i space left-handed.

My right hand seems to do all the work when I type! But then I don't type as one is "supposed" to

have one column greyed out already!! woohoo my brain is still working!!

6:59 pm

I don't even know that I've ever heard of or seen a Dvorak keyboard before.

6:59 pm

Yay Lindy! Go, lindy, go!

thanks lady

7:00 pm

my keyboard looks like qwerty, i just use a dvorak driver; built-is security device against the clueless :D

That is one fo the funnier things I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:02 pm

clue for ec4/6 and 5/7?

7:03 pm

need some help here - I have four co 4/6, one co 5/14, and one co 4/5 - who will set off the fireworks for me????

7:03 pm

http://xkcd.com/52/

ec 4/6 is what you hear back when you holler down a canyon

7:03 pm

ec4 sort of lie Spanish H, then past.

7:04 pm

I have that one, Samantha

7:04 pm

Thx, dc! (Thanks, Samantha, too)

Than change the last vowel

Then*

7:05 pm

jbv, you need a co6/27, I think

7:05 pm

I'd clue it, but I dont' have it :)

7:05 pm

co6 - to lead together/jointly, as an organization

7:05 pm

well, I tried cohere, but it's not here

7:06 pm

thx, dc!

7:06 pm

it's the end of the ha8

co + he 4/6, though

7:06 pm

thank you, dc - that's fireworks for me!

7:06 pm

ha8 is know to describe a relatve of mine.

7:06 pm

whoot, JBV! WTG

7:06 pm

congrats, jbv!!! :D

7:06 pm

Woohoo, JBV!

7:06 pm

LOL dc

WTG jbv WOOHOO

7:07 pm

probably some of my relatives, too, dc

7:07 pm

something about that ha4... really goes to your he4.

7:08 pm

I have relatives more likely to be po7's

7:08 pm

and your waisline

7:08 pm

Sorry - misisng the po7

There is no PO7

7:09 pm

lol, krisE, there is no PO7

There is no PO, period

7:09 pm

No, I mean the refernce, Lady - what are your relatives? Potatoes?

pooheads!

AAAAAAWWWKKK! I said a word!

7:10 pm

reference to today's ha8... and dc's relatives... mine would be more like po*h4s

7:10 pm

that's funny, KrisE- unless you can smoke potatoes,I don't think so...

7:10 pm

hi, all

AND I typoed! AAAWWWKKKK!

hi pam

7:10 pm

Oh, dear! I'm so slow! I may have to pack up and go home and eat!

7:10 pm

hi pam

7:10 pm

Hi Pam!

Got the munchies, Kris?

7:11 pm

No - it's past dinnertime, and I'm still at work

7:11 pm

it's okay, KrisE... there's no fish involved when you don't get a reference to something in the chat that's not in the grid...

7:11 pm

hi, lind! how did it go?

7:11 pm

Fish sounds good!

it went very well pam and i have suffered no pain at all

7:12 pm

I had fish... it wasnt so great

7:12 pm

just trying to read chog and the ha8 makes no sense to my addled self

7:12 pm

That is GREAT, lind! Wooooo Hooooo

thanks pam

Look, all, I have to go. My house is a sty and I want to be able to snuggle on my husband when he comes home soon, so i've got work to do. See y'all tomorrow!

7:12 pm

that's great, Lind - we were all sending you get well thought waves

7:12 pm

DC-- the co4 after the co6...is that somebody you'd find in a brothel? ;)

bye sam

7:12 pm

bye samantha!

7:13 pm

Bye Samantha!

7:13 pm

bye, samantha

7:13 pm

no, KrisE - that's the fish we keep sending each other

7:13 pm

lol JBV!

7:13 pm

I thought we were doing tuna today, not salmon!

7:13 pm

Fish!

7:14 pm

Im starting to want sushi now

7:15 pm

I'd be happy with goldfish crackers

7:15 pm

I'd be happy with goldfish crackers

7:16 pm

You're all making me hungry :) for everything except sushi.

7:16 pm

i grew up with fresh-caught trout and crawdads, the latter, obviously, not a fish.

7:16 pm

whats wrong with sushi?

7:16 pm

Ok - rather than keep whining, I'm going to pack up and go home for the last 8 words. See you in a bit -- Lindy it's so great to hear from you-I'm glad it went well!

7:16 pm

crawdads... I havent had any of them since I moved out here

7:16 pm

*poof*

7:16 pm

mmmm... tamago :D

7:17 pm

bye, krisE! hasta

7:17 pm

just not something I'm fond of.

bye kris

thanks kris

7:17 pm

i don't like sushi either. oh and hi.

7:17 pm

I should have grown up near the ocean. When we go to a restaurant, I'm more likely to order salmon (even badly prepared) than I am to order rib-eye steak.

7:18 pm

hi elsh, how are you?

7:18 pm

i'm ok, and you?

7:18 pm

heh... I didnt even like salmon until I moved out here and had it prepared different than fried...

hi elsh

7:18 pm

hi, elsh

7:19 pm

i like salmon, but not raw.

7:19 pm

i always hated steak back when i ate meat. never was that big on beef at all.

7:19 pm

howdy, elsh!!

7:19 pm

i love cooked salmon.

7:19 pm

hi lind and pam and dc!

7:19 pm

i never liked beef either. i was vegetarian for 11 years and although i eat meat now, not beef.

7:20 pm

you have gone vegetarian, dc? I'd be interested to hear what sorts of menus you dine on. My hubby has never eaten meat in his life, and it is a challenge for this omnivore.

7:20 pm

what about pork?

7:20 pm

well i don't eat pork because pigs are intelligent and sweet animals, might sound weird, but i just can't do it.

7:20 pm

can someone clue the ha8?

7:21 pm

it's a compound word, pam.... consists of two h4 words.

7:21 pm

some one who smokes too much and fries their brain, pam ;) then they're hungry

7:21 pm

mmm that sounds good ice. Just last week I had some pulled pork BBQ. The smell of the sauce hit me at least 4 car lengths fromthe restaurant. yum!

7:22 pm

pork was very, very, rare in my upbringing. dad's family doesn't eat it at all, and half of mom's family are jews.

7:22 pm

thanks and how the heck is that a word, dc?

7:22 pm

i've been ovo-lacto veggie for 18 years now.

7:22 pm

mmmm BBQ sand with some coleslaw on it ... nice and sloppy.. sounds wonderful

7:22 pm

you hang out in the wrong cicrles, pam, or at least more law-abiding than mine ;)

7:22 pm

drool...oh sorry <grabs a napkin>

7:22 pm

pork was served on paper when I was young, LOL

7:22 pm

I do eat pork, though I do agree with you, Elsh. I'm not particularly fond of eating it, except certain cuts. But then, being married to a vegetarian doesn't give me much opportunity to eat meat anyway.

7:23 pm

trust me, there are many in my family, dcs... pot h's, too

7:23 pm

hmm where was this bbq place? Ive only had truly good bbq once since I moved to cali

7:23 pm

sorry, dc... what's an ovo-lacto veggie? someone who still eats eggs and dairy?

7:23 pm

I wish my husband would be less fond of meat...I would have stayed vegetarian otherwise. But it's just too difficult so I haven't been veg for years.

7:23 pm

indeed so, Natts :)

7:23 pm

lacto-ovo eats dairy and egg

7:24 pm

i used to be that type

7:24 pm

what's life without heavy cream, butter, and eggs.

7:24 pm

I call myself a pescetarian as I eat fish

7:24 pm

ah, that would describe my hubby too. But he is the pickiest eater on the planet.

7:24 pm

LOLOLOL, dcs! Sconeless?

7:24 pm

i thought about going pescetarian after i wasn't veggie anymore, but my husband wants meat too much and preparing separate things would just be too much.

7:25 pm

he wants other meats i should say

7:25 pm

scones, biscuits, muffins, cakes, pies, candies, ice cream... :D

7:25 pm

whipped cream...

7:25 pm

Elsh, that's what I find difficult too. My kids are true carnivores (and 2 of them still live with us), and I'm classic omnivore (can go for days without meat), but hubby is picky picky picky vegetarian.

7:26 pm

I say let him do the cooking

7:26 pm

My husband is picky too, unfortunately it mostly means we eat junk :p

7:26 pm

i'm not too uptight about my veggism.

7:26 pm

don't know if i'll stay this way.

well gotta go and rest for a bit bbl

7:27 pm

lol traveller... good advice, often I do, but I get tired of the whining after awhile.

7:27 pm

ive mainly stuck with it for environmental reasons.

7:27 pm

i was glad i didn't eat meat for 11 years, would have preferred to stay veggie. but now that i'm not i really do like salmon and such.

7:27 pm

take care, lindy... hope to see you back again soon!

7:27 pm

and fish is good for your health

7:27 pm

see you lindy

7:27 pm

I stopped eating meat because it disagrees with me, so while I am not uptight about it, after 27 odd years, I am unwilling to eat meat

7:27 pm

bye, lind!

7:27 pm

If I go too long without meat, I start craving a nice new york steak cooked med rare with a good wine sauce I make.. omg... my fangs are growing just thinking about it

7:28 pm

lol icepyro. that's kinda my state as well. I love vegetarian food, but after awhile, I just crave meat.

7:28 pm

I loved it, ice, but it really, really did a number on me

7:29 pm

are we all ravenous now?

7:29 pm

well I'll eat an extra steak next time for you

7:29 pm

lol actually Im pretty full on the cheap fish filet sandwich I had earlier, but my mouth is watering

7:30 pm

hursh - lol

8:24 pm

That same wooooooooord

8:24 pm

darn, couldn't it have been a word i didn't have?

8:25 pm

although you need to make sure you know where everything is before you get in the shower!

8:25 pm

this grid is your typical small grid...wicked!

8:25 pm

i almost always shower in the dark. i agree, it is very soothing.

8:25 pm

I would like to reach into my cranium and take out the boo-boo.

oh, hey scrabs, nick stood for a solid 4 seconds yesterday before falling on his bottom!

8:34 pm

whoo hooo Nick!

8:35 pm

congrats Nick!

wtg nick

8:35 pm

he's such a cheeky bugger too, lol

8:35 pm

wonder where he gets that from? lol

8:35 pm

now if i could only get him to sleep past 5:30. once he starts to sense daylight, that's it.

8:35 pm

Go Nicky go!

8:36 pm

put up some extra dark curtains in his room, feather

8:36 pm

i can't wait to someday sleep in till 8am. what a luxury that would be. heck, even 7 would be great anymore.

8:36 pm

we have room darkening shades, but still light creeps in at the edges, and he must sense it

8:36 pm

sprinkle a little Tylenol PM on his applesauce ;)

aaawww (((( feather)))))))

8:37 pm

No, feather, it is a conspiracy: kids vs parents.

try shades and drapes feather

8:37 pm

it's definitely a consipiracy. the days nick sleeps in a little, daniel wakes up at 6:30. the stinkers take turns.

8:37 pm

there's more truth to that, scrabs

8:37 pm

Duct tape and bungee cords work wonders.

8:38 pm

SH 5/12 anyone?

CO6/27 please???

8:38 pm

Scrab - lol

thanks jind

8:39 pm

YW

8:39 pm

8:39 pm

feather, do the boys know what " the look" means?

8:39 pm

it's a compound word jin

8:40 pm

jind, think bob marley for the ha8

8:40 pm

daniel does! i give a deadly "look". i had a headstart before i had him, perfecting it on my school kids.

8:40 pm

My father used to put his hands on his belt buckle, to threaten taking it off.

8:41 pm

nick wilts at any slight frown. he bit me once when nursing, i yelped, and he ended up very sad and upset!

8:41 pm

Yes, feather, the "teacher's look."

8:41 pm

awwwww

8:41 pm

my kids stand no chance

8:41 pm

we call it the "mom" look

8:42 pm

thanks Feather and Ibd

8:42 pm

but on the other hand, if anyone grins within 5 feet of nick, he starts to laugh. he thinks his brother is the funniest thing on earth.

I no longer need the look with my kids LOL

8:42 pm

let's hope he always thinks that, feather

8:43 pm

i still use the look with my son and Hubby! lol

8:43 pm

Lind! How are you sweetie?

9:34 pm

it was starting to hurt!

9:37 pm

'I got you to hold my hand/ I got your to understand/ I got you babe....' Oh. Hi! Sorry, I'd just gone off on the Sonny & **** reference.

9:39 pm

Hope no one's retired from today's titchy grid singing, 'Bang, Bang, you shot me down'?

9:45 pm

Oh dear! I guess my singing cleared the chog.

hi jac i liked your singing

9:46 pm

Lol, you can take your ear plugs out now, Lindrick.

LOL how did you know?!!!

9:47 pm

I'm a Woman of the World, Lindrick. LOL

i was hoping to catch aussie before i go to bed!

well i've never heard you sing jac but you are always entertaining and funny

that is why i popped in to say hello

9:49 pm

Hey, I'm not bad at Marlene Dietrich and Kiki Dee songs. They're like me, somewhere between soprano and alto (can't remember the correct term for it).

9:49 pm

Why, thank you, Lind!

yvw jac

9:50 pm

I've oly just got back here so I don't know iff Aussie is still around or not. It is 3:49am here in UK so she may well be zzzing.

she is usually on really late though

but i can catch her over the weekend, just don'twant her to worry

how come you are up so late jac?

9:51 pm

I've just checked the Who's Online list and she's not showing, Lind.

oh ok thanks jac

9:52 pm

It's a menopausal thing, Lind. Sometimes I crash early, sometimes late and sometimes I wonder if I ever will.

aaww

(((((((jac)))))))))

i will now hit menopause early! ):

9:53 pm

I've been busy with a pile of magazines to be sorted through tonight, then persuading the cat to come in.

did you win with the persuading?

9:54 pm

I need 2 O's second row. i have what you say when you see something really neat

9:54 pm

I also toyed with the idea of updating my blog, but faced with a ton of notes I've made for it, decided to leave it for another day.

9:54 pm

Yes, the cat decided to come in for the night.

go4 go4

9:54 pm

I also need an O from the center. i have 5/14 and 4/5

oo* & aah pl and pt

od is same as i have a great id**

ol & 2 vowels

oh & pt

9:56 pm

oh4/6 - past tense of a somewhat disappointed or maybe surprised word.

9:56 pm

Thanks!

yvw

9:57 pm

ok i am still missing something. that's weird

9:58 pm

The first word I saw in this grid even before I signed in was ga4/8 (the first). 'Oh heck!' I thought. Is that an omen?

9:58 pm

o nevermind

lol

10:00 pm

I saw ya5/26 but, for some reason, didn't type it in until later. I guess the intermet chat and e-mail thing confused me into thinking it's a proper noun rather than a jubliant expression.

10:00 pm

not sure if i'll last much longer

10:00 pm

need the bottom C

10:01 pm

i didn't get that one jac until someone said it and then put themselves into the PB

I think that is taking the whole sister thing a little too far, don't you? 8-D

10:51 pm

she fell first

10:51 pm

i was jealous

10:51 pm

Any serious injuries?

10:51 pm

its true, i did

10:51 pm

startin to get sore is all

10:52 pm

That's good, at least

10:53 pm

yep...i know how to fall so that the only injury is my vanity

10:53 pm

So how are your hubbies doing?

10:53 pm

i'm in the process of trying to get mine doped out of reality

10:53 pm

just re-injured the knee that was getting well

10:54 pm

mine was scheduled for knee replacement surgery tuesday - but due to infections, he is on hold and on nuclear antibiotics

10:55 pm

we really do take the sister thing all the way see?

10:55 pm

mine is doped - found him in bed talking on his cell phone

10:56 pm

Well, if you are going to do something, do it with all your heart! Though I am sorry to hear about both

10:56 pm

i can't get mine doped...400 fent patches...48 mg dilaudid, and a fentanyl pop...still no luck

10:57 pm

i could kill a horse with that

10:58 pm

you sure can - will they give him some more marijuana or how ever you spell it

10:58 pm

Oh my! that is a lot

10:58 pm

well, they won't....but i will...stupid federal law

10:59 pm

i think he's starting to loll a bit now

10:59 pm

good - maybe of you read to him it will put him to sleep

11:00 pm

he turned the tv on, hasn't been on all day, so thats a good sign

11:00 pm

had to drive halfway across the state to find the fentanyl pops

11:01 pm

that happens here w/ the demerol

11:02 pm

never had demerol for home use here

11:04 pm

ok, well, i think he's good for a few hours, i think i'll try to snag some sleep

11:04 pm

11:06 pm

brb

11:14 pm

help with the 8 please

11:19 pm

ha8 -- corned beef ha** + noggin

11:19 pm

of course! The only compound word I didn't try

11:20 pm

how about the lo5?

11:21 pm

knight did a hilarious babble story full of clues at 2:17 grid time if you want to go to the backlog, lol!

11:21 pm

lo5 -- went to the british bathroom?

11:22 pm

shoe

11:22 pm

I have to admit that I have done that the past couple of times I have finished the grid -- I usually don't have the energy to chat.... the one time I do, everybody is somewhere else

11:22 pm

present company excepted, of course

11:22 pm

sorry - newbie here and I entered my word in the chat box. sigh.

11:22 pm

well, woulf, I'm here to clue

11:23 pm

hi gang...

11:23 pm

happens even to veterans, Frog Momma... the penalty box is always full of treats

11:23 pm

ok, frog -- we've all done it from time to time and the PB (penatly box) is full of goodies

11:23 pm

No worries, Frog Momma -- and welcome

11:23 pm

snap, jilli :D

11:24 pm

hi natts

11:24 pm

Hi LadyNatts

11:24 pm

yep, natts!

11:24 pm

thanks - i'm lurking a bit - played a few yesterday but tried harder today - some are a bit over my head, I'm afraid

11:24 pm

hi GreyWoulf

11:25 pm

frog, this is a weird dictionary we all wail about but keep coming back anyway

11:25 pm

Frog Momma - some of these words are a bit over everyone's head... the enable dictionary which this site draws upon is not the most logical dictionary around

11:25 pm

it's definitely stretching my brain

11:26 pm

same with all of us -- they say exercise is good for us, lol

11:26 pm

lol

11:26 pm

I think I may even be around for the flip today!

11:27 pm

woohoo -- down to three -- all h's

11:28 pm

do you think we'll have a huge grid tomorrow?

11:28 pm

yay natts! And the new icon theme is The Worst Toupee (Cranial Cover) Ever!

11:28 pm

gogogo woulfie!!!

11:29 pm

Hi Atalante

11:29 pm

Ata, I betcha it's be a monster

11:29 pm

it'll

11:29 pm

Yes, I just checked jilli... I don't think I have the energy to search that one out in the next half-hour.

11:29 pm

I just went for some brain food -- who else wants snickerdoodles or peanut butter cookies? I think there are some oatmeal raisin left too

11:30 pm

I'll have some PB ones, please.

11:30 pm

natts, just post a pic of Sam Donaldson

11:30 pm

toupees? as in Donald?

11:30 pm

*passes the cookie jar around*

11:30 pm

(not sure I've ever heard of snickerdoodles... is that in the enable dictionary?)

11:31 pm

Yes, ata, but that's mine -- will post it now and please use the link!

11:31 pm

hint for the first ho5/16, please

11:31 pm

ho5/16 -- booze

11:31 pm

snickerdoodles are a type of spice cookie -- excellent with tea or milk, just as good solo

11:32 pm

Turner and Ho*** (movie)

11:32 pm

brain is definitely in slow motion tonite

11:33 pm

i want some snickerdoodles

11:34 pm

by all means, ren

11:34 pm

hey ata - isn;t donald's a comb over?

11:35 pm

shortbread

11:35 pm

woulf, when in doubt with this grid, use a double O

11:35 pm

ren -- see my new icon (refresh)

11:35 pm

I hate it when I can't monkey a 4 letter word!!

11:36 pm

Ah! found it and now I have Firewords!!!

11:36 pm

apparently it is, but it looks damn like a bad wig!

11:37 pm

my hero jilli

11:37 pm

WTG Grey!!!

11:37 pm

it does ata -

11:37 pm

ya5 wolf

11:38 pm

YAY woulfie!!!

11:38 pm

the icon theme includes Cranial Cover

11:40 pm

i went to temple w/ a guy who was a real estate dude and his toupee looked like a someone's pet sitting on his head. i had to change the time i went so i wouldn't giggle

11:41 pm

nice guy - bad hair

11:41 pm

There, I've changed too... seems the cranial covers in the 19th century were better looking

11:42 pm

oh natts! delightful story!

11:43 pm

hehe... thanks!

11:44 pm

Has anyone ever seen a shot of The Donald from the back view?

11:44 pm

that's funny, ren!

11:46 pm

not me - love your story natts

11:47 pm

not I, jilli... I am so "famous oblivious" I wouldn't even know him if he came personally to tell me "you're FIRED!"

11:47 pm

thanks, renfield

11:48 pm

the apprentice is my favorite tv show

11:49 pm

see... that's the thing. I rarely watch TV - only when hubby turns it on or I'm doing laundry (which is, in itself, rare). I don't read newspapers or magazines. I am oblivious to politics and entertainment.

11:50 pm

from the back? is it scary?

11:50 pm

probably is ata

11:50 pm

the front is scary enough, ata... I imagine the back would be.

11:50 pm

10 minutes... seems a lifetime, may fall asleep

11:51 pm

I would imagine so, ata, if it's a comb-over

11:51 pm

hoil

11:51 pm

he swears it isn't a comb over

11:51 pm

that he just likes that cut

11:51 pm

cute icon clue, kje!

11:52 pm

I think he's afraid to go bald. Would probably look better that way, tho, imo

11:52 pm

bald is so acceptable nowadays

11:52 pm

TY lady

11:52 pm

shiny is in :)

11:52 pm

kje, I tried to find an animated icon clue for that -- got one but it wouldn't work here

11:53 pm

there isnt a back pic that i can see on google. it must be very bad

11:53 pm

I've never tried the animated ones

11:53 pm

kje, click on my tiny url (lol!)

11:54 pm

my guess is a back view would look like a slipped mullet

11:57 pm

ick, jilli, why did you make me look at that

11:57 pm

I believe The Donald lived in or near Forest Hills, Queens, NY, where I lived for a while

11:57 pm

just to taunt you, kje, lol!

11:58 pm

you are cruel - that could be used as a form of torture

11:58 pm

LOL (cackle cackle)

11:59 pm

I guess 529

11:59 pm

I want 101

11:59 pm

57 or 570

11:59 pm

no jilli! aaaaghh

11:59 pm

205

11:59 pm

yes, DrB, the usual inversion

11:59 pm
