Top row is grey!

12:13 am

yes it is harp

Thanks everyone. I've had to biopsies in the last two years - 1st one showed abnormal noncancerous. the second was my 1st digital mammo, and because of my family history the doctr wanted to take a look at some tiny micro calcifications that she said she would have waited on had I not been high risk. They were negative. Guess taking tamoxifen is paying off.

12:14 am

hi -- back from late supper to see people having fireworks all over the place! Is this little one so easy?

12:54 am

are you going to have a shower for the dil to be?

12:54 am

it's not bad jilli

12:54 am

I have 2 words, lol!

12:55 am

Hey Jill - I have 6

12:55 am

no west...

12:55 am

they don't want anything and everythings happening so fast

12:55 am

too bad when the icon theme is a word from the grid, which can be such fun, that lately the grids have been so small nobody has bothered to post a clue icon

12:55 am

they are going to bc in july...

12:55 am

still Aug 5th?

12:55 am

none of her friends are here, they're all there

12:56 am

it's all very unconventional :)

12:56 am

I see

12:56 am

who, mar?

12:56 am

they're not moving there are they?

12:56 am

yes and my flight and reservations are done

12:56 am

passports just came today

12:57 am

oh yes -- your son is getting married -- in Vegas, is it?

12:57 am

our daughter was married last October in CA ( remember)?

12:57 am

not for now westie....prob another year here before they seriously start thinking of that

12:57 am

sure I remember

12:57 am

yes jilli

12:57 am

they're coming home in july for him to meet the family big bunch on both sides so we're having a reception for them

12:57 am

how wonderful!!

12:58 am

west -- that's not cross-border, though, is it?

12:58 am

yes and no...if the kitchen is done and all things are put back

12:58 am

no jilli that's just

12:58 am

well you better get on their tails there westie!

12:59 am

I'll finish my morning session with 72 words. See you!

12:59 am

that's what I thought -- makes a difference. Silly border.

12:59 am

we're going down on SAt

12:59 am

silly government

12:59 am

not silly border.....silly homeland security

12:59 am

*ducking outcry about "silly border"*

12:59 am

we just renewed our passports

1:00 am

that's good west cause sometimes you gotta just be there to make sure things are moving along

1:00 am

we have relatives in Michigan and love to go through Canada to get there

1:00 am

West, if your do is not cross-border why do you need passpaorts?

1:00 am

saves time and the roads are great

1:01 am

Ah, you answered the question. Silly homeland insecurity.

1:01 am

good word for it jilli

1:01 am

but then again jilli.....after our bungling minister, who thinks with his little head :) is any indication, no wonder the yanks want us to have passports!

1:02 am

i just renewed my passport. it took fewer than 9 days from when i dropped it in the outbound mailbox at the post office to having my new passport delivered. i was... startled.

1:02 am

I can understand them wanting passports for their southern border ......but Canada??

1:02 am

borders cause a lot of trouble

1:02 am

ours didn't take much longer nob

1:03 am

and bermuda of all places

1:03 am

I know westie....they don't want us Canucks as much as they don't want Mexicans

1:03 am

i still need to get my kids passports, though, which i expect will take longer.

1:03 am

here it depends on the childs ages

1:03 am

i was just reading something about how in 2000 there were serious ideas floated about completely opening the US-canadian border. no border stops at all.

1:03 am

given the state of the states I wouldn't leave canada

1:04 am

mine either..dropped if off last thurs...

1:04 am

I've had a passport since I was 8 years old

1:04 am

i keep thinking about all the fun that used to be made of the commies requiring papers - look who's having laugh now

1:04 am

here, the kids will need passports if we want to go across any borders. nobody slides on mom and dad's passports any more, i guess.

1:04 am

well weatherwise it can be a real bitch unless you live where jilli does

1:04 am

and i'll need the passport just to fly domestically, possibly, in another year or so.

1:04 am

where are you nobabble?

1:04 am

now that makes sense, nobab

1:05 am

you do get some pretty cold weather there

1:05 am

i'm in washington state. seattle area.

1:05 am

South Dakota got snow

1:05 am

near jilli :)

1:05 am

only a dusting but it's nearly June

1:05 am

just next door to me, nobab!

1:06 am

well actually you need a passport to re-enter the states....you don't need one to come into Canada lol

1:06 am

nobab, you're near stid too -- she's in Olympia

does that make nobabble somewhere close to Stid?

1:07 am

Yeah, Canada isn't scared of naughty USers

1:07 am

it cost $87 for a passport for 5 years here not including price of photo

1:07 am

but got great colour photos for $6.50 tax in at costco!

1:07 am

about the same here but good for 10

1:07 am

even kiddies will need state issued ids w/in year, I believe, for any legal transactions

1:08 am

I hear that may change to 10 yrs like other countries, mar

1:08 am

good grief

1:08 am

lol sure it will jilli cause I just got mine!

1:08 am

your passport picture was great just? lol

1:09 am

Well, it took longer than Orwell thought

1:09 am

yes although I'm not photogenic at all.....hubby looks great!

1:09 am

me too, mar

1:09 am

It's a law here that it must look terrible

1:09 am

i am under the impression that canadian border control is making sure people have the appropriate documents coming in, to be sure of getting rid of them later.

1:09 am

my drivers permit pix is great tho!

1:10 am

can't have americans stranded in canada, eh?

1:10 am

this is prob true nobab

1:10 am

west, same here -- no smiles or anything. Dumb idea smiles whoudl be mandatory, to show the teeth which are so identifiable.

1:10 am

well if our dollar was still .60 they'd prob encourage you to stay for sure nobab lolol

1:10 am

anyway, i want us to be able to go up to canada easily, so i'm making sure we're all up to date with our passports.

1:10 am

my cousin's daughter moved to canada after she graduated and couldn't do anything for a year

1:11 am

haha, could be! but now, who needs USD?

1:11 am

couldn't work or go to school

1:11 am

had to just reside

1:11 am

she's back

1:11 am

well actually went to mexico in jan...they still liked the greenback better than ours even tho we were at par then

1:11 am

that sounds kind of nice, no work, no school....

1:11 am

good work if you can get it, i guess.

1:12 am

she was young and bored

1:12 am

she'll look back on it with longing

1:12 am

that's strange west....

1:12 am

yeah.

1:12 am

welcome to Canada, nobab :) There's a gathering gathering in the Victoria/SaltSpring area in July

1:12 am

you don't know how good you have it when you're young. at least, i didn't.

1:12 am

we have so many americans at McGill....

1:13 am

she was trying to get Canadian citizenship I think

1:13 am

followed her boyfriend

1:13 am

I lived in NY when I was at McGill -- was a US Alien Resident, woohoo, spooky me, lol!

1:13 am

worldclass university at prob 1/4 the cost of any of the same calibur in the US

1:14 am

we'll take a visit up as soon as i scratch together the cash to get the kids' passports, and then wait for them to arrive.

1:14 am

I know just a very good friend graduated from there

1:14 am

for passports to arrive or kids lol?

1:14 am

Yes indeed, mar :)

1:14 am

*passports*. sheesh. have the kids.

1:15 am

heh just making sure nobab!

1:15 am

that'd be creepy. i wonder if you can use ultrasound pictures for passports...

1:15 am

that would be so cool

1:15 am

that

1:16 am

will be soon - can't deliver w/o proper paperwork

1:17 am

My nephew in Toronto is just about to launch a huge store that takes ultrasounds and makes up the photos...in all sizes even 3D plus lounges and shopping for mother to be and babies...etc etc

1:17 am

don't push 'til the mail is delivered...

1:17 am

I had a choice of Columbia (Barnard for women in those days), Vassar, Mt Holyoke, I forget the others -- chose McGill because although there would be residence (none for Columbia because reachable by subway) it was still cheaper.

1:17 am

ndanlia- now you're scaring me. i'm trying to figure out the homebirth loophole.

1:17 am

cafe.....oh and colour photos I believe

1:17 am

how nice just I hope he makes a go of it

1:18 am

all good schools jilli very good

1:18 am

I hope so too.....it's become a big thing here but most of them just do the ultrasound and photo nothing else

1:18 am

the only person i know who went to mt holyoke is... not someone i like, we'll just say. columbia's alright. mcgill would be my pick from those as well, though.

1:19 am

well but jilli went a long long time ago nobab

1:19 am

Nice to hear, nobab!

1:19 am

is that why you chose to live in Canada jilli?

1:19 am

if you click on the icon here you can read about each person

1:20 am

well, i assumed it was a while ago, since columbia's been coed for rather a while.

1:20 am

partly, west -- met my hubby because I went to McGill (long story)

1:20 am

my dad went to queens college, probably around the same time.

1:20 am

oh ....didn't know its previous or present status nobab

1:20 am

Queen's University, please.

1:21 am

jilli in the states most say college even tho it's university..

1:21 am

no, cuny. queens college.

1:21 am

here college has a totally different connotation

1:22 am

maybe you both mean different institutions...?

1:22 am

morning dear all!

1:22 am

Mar - I know -- I used to live there, remember? Just being a stuffy Canadiaan now, lol

1:22 am

Spritey!!!

1:23 am

hi sprite

1:23 am

diff used to be college just gave bachelors, univs had sev schools & did grad degrees; now mix/match on names

1:23 am

Hi sprite!

1:23 am

i was thinking about new york city (where columbia is), which got me thinking about other colleges in teh city, which reminded me of the useless fact that my dad got a masters degree from queens college, in new york.

1:23 am

I know you do jilli, but I don't think the yanks knew that

1:24 am

I got a reaction from MsABS about the tellytubbies' plague. She apologises sincerely. The kids had been shown a pic of only the grid, no URL, with the assignment to copy it and find 10 words as homework.

1:24 am

(in 1956. he is somewhat younger than jillibus)

1:24 am

Most yanks know zilch about Canada

1:24 am

smart little creatures weren't they lol

1:25 am

what happened afterward shocked her. The kids have been lectured by her, by the school's principal and letters with pieces of the chat have been sent to their parents.

1:25 am

"college" is... what, in canada?

1:25 am

I only say yanks (dear americans) cause its shorter to spell and easier to type :D

1:25 am

I wasn't there but read the chat OH MY !!

1:25 am

wow that's taking it a little far spritey, don't you think?

1:25 am

i'll admit i didn't know nunavut/iqaluit until 2 yrs ago

1:26 am

I was called a Yank by a Brit in a pub in London and was delighted

1:26 am

I'm surprised that you do know now nDan.....any particular reason?

1:26 am

I think that is because last year something like this has happened as well, 1Mar. And the letter to the parents is mainly because they should know their little darlings give out personal information on the internet, on an adult website.

please tell me what happened with MsAbs. What did I miss?

1:27 am

nobab, one of my other possibilities was Queens College in Queens, NY, lol, because I lived in Forest Hills, Queens, lol. I assumed you were referring to the Canadian Queen's University :)

1:27 am

oh goody westie..then I'll just keep on and delight you somemore! :D

1:27 am

homeschool now 10yo - covered geog/hist 2 yrs ago

1:27 am

I don't like canuck though

1:28 am

I don't either

1:28 am

you're all so nice and I've learned so much about your country here and in tangle

1:28 am

it's like it was made to have a parallel with yanks

1:28 am

what do you call yourselves?

1:28 am

Canadians

1:28 am

quebecois lolol

1:28 am

canadians. from canadia.

1:29 am

good question, west, lol!

1:29 am

yanks started out as a derogatory term

1:29 am

some babblers really jumped on MsAbs about it, people were very irritated. She wants us all to know she never meant this to happen, the kids weren't supposed to go on the internet with it at all. Just to write down some words after copying the grid.

1:29 am

have just a little trouble with yank as I'm a sox fan lol

1:29 am

How old are you, if I may ask nDan?

1:29 am

lol westie

1:29 am

so... as she requested, I have given you her answers. Hi all, how is the grid?

1:29 am

mid 40s

1:30 am

well then we both enjoyed Pedro Martinez for a while westie!

1:30 am

grid is fun sprite

1:30 am

"I'm a Yankeedoodle dandy..." not derogatory!

1:30 am

yayyyy! *jumps in with relish*

1:30 am

ah yes the traitor lol

1:30 am

I finished before cybernan....never did that before!

1:30 am

so, wait, what happened? bunch of kids showed up on babble?

1:30 am

but Yankee Doodle was

1:30 am

ah, Pedro....sigh!

1:30 am

wtg 1Mar, lol

1:31 am

it's a long story, nobab

1:31 am

all wrapped up in the Celtics now

1:31 am

see chat log of 2 and 3 days ago for what happened

1:31 am

well he played for the expos (actually being under Felipe Alou helped his pitching and career a lot) and left us for you

1:31 am

celtics?

1:31 am

and now he's with the Mets?

1:31 am

it was adopted, and about 200 y o now, so hist isnt remembered

1:32 am

Celtics are basketball

1:32 am

I don't know.....since the aholes at MLB pulled the plug on the Expos I don't have any interest in baseball anymore :(

1:32 am

did you get an answer from her as well, jilli?

1:32 am

nobab, a year ago a bunch of kids in Australia came on and flung obscenities around for ages -- turned out they had been told about Babble as a project to improve theri vocabularies, lol!

1:32 am

I know they are westie but you said it that's why I asked...

1:33 am

oh

1:33 am

no, sprite, she didn't reply

1:33 am

they just might have a chance at winning first time in over 20 years

1:33 am

so nDan you were doing the home schooling?

1:34 am

re baseball I'm just like just1mar

1:34 am

thanks. i think i'm all caught up now. scanning chat logs. weird.

1:34 am

yes - working on europe now

1:34 am

homeschooling as the parent, i'm assuming.

1:34 am

did they explain why they did away with the Expos?

1:34 am

ok, I thought something like that might be the matter. I was rather calm in my email, not at all sure she was to blame. Perhaps she felt more comfortable answering me and asking me to relay the message to you all... some people ate her alive, lol, and she understood completely why.

1:34 am

(we homeschool, too)

1:35 am

I was polite too, sprite

1:35 am

yes and it's all bs

1:35 am

did they move them?

1:35 am

I know, jilli, can't imagine you being rude at all.

1:35 am

give them a new name?

1:35 am

It was Claude Brochu, who was in it just to turn a fast buck

1:36 am

they allowed the expos to be bought out from Bronfman to a bunch of incompetant greedy pigs and it was downhill from that point on

1:36 am

you know, it's actually pretty impressive that babble chat hasn't been completely overrun by annoying people (myself not included).

1:36 am

they're the washington nationals now :(

1:36 am

all pro sports are all about the money now

Hey, Jilli. How many words do you have now?

1:36 am

must be quite a task, homeschool your kids. And don't they miss out on the social learning they do in school?

1:37 am

yes! they miss out on all the terrible social situations created in school. thank goodness.

1:37 am

or the social aspect of school?

1:37 am

we hope it never will, nobabble. This community is precious to a lot of babblers. We are a supportive bunch that appreciate eachother very much.

1:37 am

instead, they just have regular friends they get together with, constantly.

1:37 am

nobab, Dr_God can cut off objectionable intruders. But one horrible night he was asleep and a bunch of trolls took over for hours.

1:37 am

I can understand that but do they have friends?

1:38 am

very active in sports & plays & library runs many afternoon programs & have large h/s networks here; univ also offer many summer & weekend acad mini-courses

1:38 am

we're part of a homeschool group, which gets together weekly for park days, and various other outings and gatherings. plus we've got neighbor kids around, and various personal friends.

1:38 am

well, social learning is not only about friends. It is also about learning to handle situations with people you would never pick out yourself. As you will need to do in later life as well.

1:38 am

I think that you've done a wise thing nDan

1:38 am

autumn, I still have all of 2 words, lololol!

Homeschooled children have friends. That's like asking if stay at home moms have friends.

1:39 am

ah, that sounds good, nDan

1:39 am

where do you live nDan?

Jill - and I still have 6. Been chatting on MSN instead of looking.

1:39 am

sprite- and my kids get to learn to handle those situations in a natural way, with support as needed, rather than being tossed to the unsupervised wolves at recess starting at age 5.

1:39 am

wow jilli, you are on a roll!

1:39 am

I've been chatting here, autumn :)

and with that, I am off to bed. Ni-night all

1:40 am

LOL sprite

1:40 am

va

1:40 am

night autumn moon

1:40 am

night autumn

1:40 am

Night autumn -- you're late to bed!

hi all :)

1:40 am

hi Mr P

1:40 am

hi mrp! :D

1:40 am

hi mrp

(don't work Fridays. Only Mon-Thur)

1:40 am

I was not attacking you, nobabble. I guess schools where you live are very different from here. Here the kids get all kinds of support at school as well.

1:41 am

hiya mrP! How has it gone today?

hi MrP, Night MrP

1:41 am

I see, autumn -- and I have another word now, lol!

1:41 am

any good news mrp

1:41 am

homeschooling is not at all common in the netherlands, i have gathered.

wow nobabble... i think you are attacking actually

1:42 am

and yes, schools seems rather a lot better in that area of the world, though i would still likely prefer to keep my kids with me a lot more.

1:42 am

i'm sorry if i seem to be attacking. i am not meaning to.

1:43 am

nope, totally not. Very small country. Schools are always very nearby, not big, and with very good teachers mostly.

1:43 am

I'm glad I went to the schools I went to, and there were quite a few.

1:43 am

but mrP... today was D-Day, right? How did it go?

1:43 am

alas, not so much the same here. schools are big, with overworked and stressed teachers. :(

1:44 am

my little granddaughter will be 5 in June and going to kindergarten her parents both work so it's not possible to home school I worry about her

1:44 am

sorry to interrupt the conversation but may i please have the email address to get expert

1:44 am

but our homeschooling group is big, and friendly, and diverse, and we enjoy our days spent being kids (well, the kids get to be kids :) ), and playing, and learning everywhere. so, we're happy. i wish the schools were better, even if i'd rather not use them.

1:44 am

stuck with 18 left...g'nite

1:45 am

I keep tryin to enter "crit" as in hematocrit, but no

1:45 am

in my son's class was a big bully, and school did everything to regulate his behaviour. Better still, they payed even more attention to the kids that had trouble with the bully. All learned from it, and no-one suffered lasting pain. I am very impressed with how school handled it.

1:45 am

I want critted... as in what a critter does. But no ;)

1:45 am

and i keep seeing "nintendo", but not only is it not a word, it's not in the grid, either.

1:45 am

bye Gadget

1:46 am

did mrP leave again?

it went great sprite, I have way too many doctors on board... 3 surgeons, 2 anaethetists, 1 microbiologist and a shrink. surgery in 18 days

night gadget :)

1:46 am

Click on Lickety's Babble Clues under the grid....I am sure his address is there

1:46 am

that rarely happens here sprite, schools afraid of suits from bullies' parents - several cases in paper in last year

but, many docs means the plan is well under way...

1:46 am

thank you Just

1:46 am

several stories in the papers this week about teachers-as-bullies, for that matter. :(

1:46 am

Arisha, it's Lickety's address, at the bottom of his page.

1:46 am

ah, there you are, mrP :) I am glad it went well. And very good they surround you with a good team. You will need it! How are you feeling?

1:47 am

yw!

1:47 am

nDan: they made up a contract, with bully and his parents, at last. If the rules in it would be violated again, the kid would have had to leave school. They take bullying very seriously here.

1:48 am

Arisha, to get your flag etc, go to your My Account and check the little square in the upper right corner where it says Show Profile

1:48 am

bottom line they just don't pay teachers enough

1:48 am

hiya Arisha, welcome to pro-dom ;)

Feeling scared! I hate being put under... I hate the pain... I hate being away from home for weeks at a time, but I will get over this!!

1:48 am

hear hear west. My d-i-l is a teacher.

1:49 am

sprite: how old is the bully?

1:49 am

you will, mrP, but it is not a picnic. I can imagine you being scared. *hugggggs*

1:49 am

12 now, nobabble

thanks ((hugs back))

1:49 am

I so feel for ya MrP ....

1:49 am

westford: other bottom line, it's not clear that in the current educational/school climate, you COULD pay teachers enough. :-/

1:49 am

Mrp -- you certainly WILL get over it all and be much better for it

1:49 am

I like her picture jilli she looks like such a kind person

1:50 am

that's true nobab but there are still some good souls out there that really care about the children

1:50 am

She is a marvel, west

1:50 am

big thing here is that would hurt the self-esteem, but now the victims are standing up more & contacting media; nob - yes, too many teachers are coming up as not caring or now being caught in the stings, sary

1:50 am

I understand what you're saying nobab....

1:50 am

there are. even many of them.

when Luke was bullied, I brought the bully home with me... that sorted all the problems right there and then.

1:50 am

every teacher i know *really* cares.

1:51 am

but it's so hard for them.

1:51 am

mrp, what a bold and beautiful thing to do!

1:51 am

the good ones get taken advantage of & too often burn out

1:51 am

oh I know it is the money is spent on everything but education and that's the most important

the school bully is no longer a bully and he spends alot of time with us... it was his PARENTS that didn't give a damn about him, not the teachers

1:52 am

we tried that, mrP. But this kid comes from a whole family of bullies... no cure there, without the parents' realisation there might be something wrong at home. But school made it work anyway. Very impressive. This school cares about kids, and about schooling, and about making it fun. Can't imagine the extra time they spend on making things special.

1:52 am

bullying usually has an underlying reason

1:52 am

Um, don't the parents have something to do with the kids' attitude toward teachers?

1:52 am

it's our society in general.....too many single parent families that cannot be there for their kids

1:53 am

absolutely, jilli!

1:53 am

or want teachers to handle it all

1:53 am

I still have very fond memories of my teachers a few in particular

1:54 am

just1- that's unfair. do you really not know single parents who *are* there for their kids?

1:54 am

i have nothing but huge respect for the single parents i know, who are making it work.

1:54 am

I have always believed in joining forces, between teachers and parents.

1:54 am

single parenting is a very heavy job, but some manage it wonderfully

1:54 am

not personally but yes I know that many are...it's just that very many are not

1:55 am

back in the undark ages, when a kid was reprimanded at school the parents back up the teachers. Now it seems in some schools the parents sue the teachers for scolding the little horrors

1:55 am

i think the lack of being their for their kids is as much, or more, a social problem for two parent families.

1:55 am

if anyone in my class growing up ever got in trouble at school

1:55 am

our 3rd daughter was divorced when her baby was 6 mos old we've been her support

1:55 am

luckily, that isn't normally the ca4 here yet, jilli.

1:55 am

baby is 20 now

1:55 am

adults who want to live the same life they had, the life they're promised on tv, school can take care of the kids just keep 'em out of my hair.

1:55 am

, 5 times over at home; diff times now

1:55 am

I'm not putting them down and don't understand why you'd jump to that conclusion.....it's just a fact of life these days given the way we live today

1:56 am

good analogy nobab

1:56 am

that is great, west. It really helps if a single parent gets support from grandparents.

1:56 am

just1: i just think it's putting the blame on something which i think is a symptom, not a cause.

1:57 am

yeah... stupid parents, these, nobabble. Missing out on all the important things their kids go through, and not giving them what they need.

1:57 am

and doesn't time fly?

1:57 am

it does, west :) I am going to play, the chat is becoming a touch too hostile to my taste atm.

1:57 am

I'm not looking to argue with you. I am telling you my thoughts on the matter...that's all

1:58 am

you know, speaking of giving my kids what they need, i should get to bed so i'm not SuperGrouchMama in the morning.

1:58 am

yes for me too

1:58 am

night nobabble

1:58 am

was going to leave an hour ago but westie asked me to stay and chat

1:58 am

group hug everyone

1:58 am

just1mar:i think you've got good ideas on where the problems are. i just suspect there are deeper causes.

1:58 am

lol 1Mar, I am glad, would have missed you otherwise.

1:58 am

night nobab -- come back and dobab :)

1:58 am

okay

1:59 am

lolol jilli! Great one.

1:59 am

it's not single parenting that's the problem, it's the shedding of responsibilities like last year's coat. across the board. y'know?

1:59 am

I'm glad you stayed too just

1:59 am

thx guys glad to have had fun chatting (((hugs))) poof

1:59 am

we have become a throw away society in more ways than one

1:59 am

g'night!

1:59 am

night 1Mar *hug*

1:59 am

night mar :)

2:01 am

good night nobab

2:01 am

good night nobab

2:02 am

you still around, mrP? I wanted to ask if they gave you any schedule or plans.

yes they did... it is in my profile :) I can give you more detail if you like?

2:03 am

would love to hear about it. Helps me to send very intense healing vibes your way :)

The good thing is, it is a long term plan, so if it fails, I can keep doing the same thing until it does work... that way, I don't lose my limb.

2:07 am

that is a very good thing

2:07 am

also, the 18th is very soon. Waiting sucks, to be blunt. So I am happy it won't be too long.

hi all!!

It has freaked out my social scene and work collegues... they are all so worried about it being so soon, I would rather it be over about 3 years ago! LOL!! so yes, dont want to wait

hi dee :)

2:09 am

lol, guess we are of one mind about that, mrP ;)

2:09 am

hiya Dee!

hugs to 2 of my favorite people!

2:10 am

*hugs Dee right back* Good to see you, hun. How are you?

brb, need to get some food organised for kids!! ((( hugs dee )))

2:10 am

I'm back.

2:10 am

hb mrP

2:10 am

and wb ajv

good actually, but expecting bad storms here tomorrow, so I'm sure my bones will be "feeling" it soon lol

2:11 am

ay, yes. Stay warm as well as you can, Dee :)

2:12 am

(side note: 2nd day in a row I am finding the 'on the ocean' word all by myself!)

ty sprite, you 2

2:13 am

I am doing that, nowadays, Dee. Seriously. Socks and shawls, and a blanket when I nap in the afternoon. May sound like I am an old woman, but it feels so much better ;)

I totally agree! I have 4 different throws on my hair in the family room. I bundle up all year long; I love to snuggle in my chair and read.

2:15 am

me too :D I had to learn, though. Never allowed myself such things. But wow, it is wonderful now.

2:16 am

jilli, did you go to bed without me noticing? Or are you beneath the surface of the grid?

2:16 am

Are ni's related?

2:17 am

I have 2 so far, not related.

2:18 am

I just monkeyed that last ni. Now I hace only 11 left...

2:18 am

I still have 30 to go. Probably not much help, am I.

2:18 am

And 5 of them are c's and 6 s's...

2:20 am

I think a nird is a dyslectic nerd.

2:21 am

10 left, my monkey is well-trained today...

2:21 am

*gives ajv's monkey a big banana*

2:23 am

hm, I might help with Ss. I only have one S left to find.

2:23 am

And I'm sure most of my missing words are very obvious...

2:23 am

What is the theme with so's..?

2:23 am

make that zero. Got all Ss.

2:24 am

blackened with greasy stuff, sora

2:24 am

*sorta

2:24 am

Hello everyone. Got that a4.4 yet Sprite?

2:24 am

hi lyn!

2:24 am

lol lyn, yes, I did! Second day in a row I found it all by myself! Am I learning or what :) How are you today?

2:25 am

I'm good - and my second word was the frog - I'm improving! How is it all with you, and husband?

2:28 am

wtg lyn :) We are managing quite well together. We go through the days giving eachother some space and some support, we distribute the things that have to be done and do so without fighting. Also sorted out some financial stuff yesterday, which gave us some true relief. Other than that... it is a tough period of time, lyn. But we will get through it.

2:28 am

All so's found! Only 6 words left...

2:28 am

yay ajv! go girrrrrrl!

2:28 am

A girl with your resources - I am sure you will!

2:29 am

4 left, all c's...

2:30 am

may sound stupid, but I find again that love is what is pulling is through. Love, humor and communication.

2:31 am

that is lovely sprite :-)

2:31 am

I think "cosad" could be a person helping unhappy people, but it doesn't exist in the dictionary.

2:32 am

it is, in a way, Katie. Some very basic things... like saying what is on our mind, using 'I' and not 'you'. Being honest about what we need. And making clear we do not expect the other to give us that, just to help making it possible.

2:32 am

I think I would prefer a 'cohap' then, ajv :D

2:33 am

got all the Cs, btw, so if you need help, just yell.

2:34 am

good morning

2:34 am

I'm just making up words now and they are working :-) I love grids like this

2:34 am

Hi Mystery

2:34 am

I try myself I little, still. I'll ask clues before I throw my computer out of the window.

2:34 am

me too, Katie :)

darn puter.... hi lynxx :)

2:35 am

I think that is a very good rule of thumb, ajv, LOL

2:35 am

and wb mrP *hug*

2:35 am

Hi MRP

2:35 am

Hi MrP, how you doing?

2:37 am

I've just read your profile, hugs to you and best wishes for your coming surgery

2:38 am

33 down, 55 to go.... is it easier than yesterday?

2:39 am

Heaps better - maybe a bit too easy

2:39 am

very easy today

2:40 am

it's a great grid today

2:40 am

and I loved yesterday's grid. One of the best in ages.

2:41 am

I hadn't gone to bed -- went to turn off TV, do dishes, putter... still only 7 words so must do some gridding!

2:41 am

Now I couldn't get on with it at all yesterday but was having a bad day and then got the offical photos on line so was very distracted

fireworks

2:41 am

2:45 am

2:45 am

hi katie!

2:46 am

Just got them all ajv so they are easy. Something a neighbour would say to attract attention over the fence

2:46 am

not so much an Aust exclamation as a call you might make in the bush if lost as the sound of the word echoes well - the co's

2:46 am

hi everyone

2:46 am

ah, thanks lyn, for explaining more.

2:47 am

hi Andree

2:47 am

Hi Andree

2:47 am

lol, my final word was not tomorrow but... Fireworks!

2:48 am

Hooray for Sprite !!

2:48 am

my mother used to call that, with an upward swoop at the end

2:48 am

YAY sprite!!!

2:48 am

exactly Jilli

2:48 am

against my better judgement i better go to work, on the bright side it has got to be better than yesterday :-)

2:48 am

congrats sprite

2:49 am

fascinating vid. Need to open up my mind to like it, but I think I do.

2:49 am

bye Katie

2:49 am

My Mum always follows it with 'only me'

2:49 am

*hugs Katie* Havev a great day hun. May all turn out to the best ;)

Greetings everyone! It's Babble Time!! :)

2:49 am

Thanks sprite *poof*

2:50 am

Hi Lorrie

2:50 am

hiya Lorrie, welcome to the fun. Good grid!

2:50 am

hi lorrie

Yes, I was expecting 300+ today for some reason! Perhaps he will keep that for tomorrow!

2:51 am

probably for the very first day-to-come I have no time to play ;)

2:52 am

another parsimonious grid

2:52 am

ok... listened to the whole vid and am impressed and fascinated. Would love to have this version as an mp3!

2:53 am

busy day-to-come, sprite?

2:53 am

hiya BabbleRabble, good to see you.

2:53 am

Hi BabRab

2:53 am

hi babrab

2:53 am

good day, folks

2:53 am

hi babble

2:53 am

sent another letter to dr g asking for a refund

2:54 am

hello andree

2:54 am

lots of them, jilli. Am cutting down on task right now, judging the have-to's and separating them from the not-nows.

2:54 am

why is that, BabbleRabble?

2:54 am

is mrp still on , we had lunch together today

2:54 am

why, babrab?

2:54 am

good thinking, sprite

2:54 am

Andree: how wonderful! Must have been great for her on this stressy day.

2:55 am

how was lunch, andree? mrp has been on and off, on and off

2:55 am

not getting our money's worth with these chintzy grids

2:55 am

she had to go to the hospital after she left me and i was wondering how it went

2:55 am

phooey, babrab!

2:55 am

we have a saying in dutch, BabbleRabble... who does not honour the little stuff, isn't worthy of the big stuff ;)

2:56 am

jilli lunch was great, chinese, yummy and mrp is a doll

2:56 am

she said she met with amny docs of various kinds

2:56 am

that's many

2:56 am

and I have a saying little grids have little value

2:57 am

part is in her profile, Andree. She told us it went very well. In addition to her profile text she told us it is a long term plan, which means that if it shouldn't work, it can be done again until it does work, and she does not have to lose the limb. Also she said she was happy it would be soon (the surgery).

2:57 am

oops, PB for me I C

2:58 am

didn't recall "phooey" being the grid

2:58 am

speak for youself babble, i have just got home after a busy day and am glad its small, i had no time to finish yesterday

2:58 am

LOL jilli. What's your fancy... milk and banana? A night cap?

2:58 am

Thats true BR, little grid are of little value. The big ones are worth lots more points

2:59 am

3 left, found co5/14...

2:59 am

milk and banana would be lovely :)

2:59 am

they are surrounding mrP with a whole team of doctors, all kinds of disciplines. She is scared, but positive.

2:59 am

*serves jilli a milk and a banana, latter one peeled from bottom to top*

2:59 am

points who on earth is worried about points, this is supposed to be fun!!

3:00 am

pointedly replied, Andree :)

3:00 am

Fireworks! Thos last co's were all new words to me.

3:00 am

perfect, spritey -- tyvm!

3:00 am

just pulling his leg Andree

3:00 am

wtg ajv!

3:00 am

Congrats ajv!

3:00 am

YAY ajv!

3:00 am

mrp drew me pictures of what they are going to do , such a lot for her to go through

3:00 am

but only one at a time, lyn, or he will fall!

3:01 am

good morning everyone, quick visit for a catch up:)

3:01 am

hello jean

3:01 am

yeah, it is not a picnic, Andree :( Not envying her at all.

3:01 am

hi jean :)

3:01 am

i know you are lynxxx

3:01 am

I am unconcerned about points ... nonetheless I will decide what is fun for me

3:01 am

its OK though Sprite, I don't think he ever gets out of that hammock

3:02 am

andree, it must be hard, already having gone through so much!

3:02 am

hehehe lyn, quite so!

3:02 am

Hi Jean!

3:02 am

yes, babrab, you just go right ahead :)

3:02 am

hi jean

3:03 am

I "hope" tomorrow will be a hars gris, becayse I have very little time to play...

3:03 am

you always do, BabbleRabble. You always do :)

3:03 am

just keep feeding us your clever clues, babrab

3:03 am

with a spelling like that, it will be, ajv, LOL

3:04 am

Oops....

3:04 am

as i have not even entered 1 word yet i can ask is it an easy grid?

3:04 am

it is, Andree.

3:05 am

andree, I don't think so but I think I'm outnumbered

3:05 am

I mean, there's no volcano, fer cryin out loud!

3:06 am

that IS a crime, jilli, true ;)

3:06 am

but there is a mosquito

3:06 am

I won't give up, until there's "oyster" in the grid some day. Or "enthusiastically".

3:06 am

BBS getting a nice strong hot coffee to enjoy

3:07 am

I wanted onyx for a very long time. Finally got it and celebrated :D

3:07 am

must be off, leaving you in the brilliant clueing hands of BabbleRabble. Have fun, all, if you are so inclined. *hugs*

3:08 am

I'm leaving, too!

3:08 am

7:01 am

*shudder* I used to dread guide camps like that. I hated dressing up so much, and it was always compulsory and I felt so stupid!

7:01 am

7:02 am

none of that ever compulsary now... cus of $

and I designed the stensils for the t-shirts... I took the dove "dove" and put in a stylized trefoil in her shoulder... and I contacted dove... to see if they had activities we could do at camp that night since happens at the sleepover...they sent me 3 cartons of dove prodact packs to give one each to each girl at camp

7:14 am

you'll have to post pics of the tshirts afterwards

7:14 am

Hi everyone too. Sorry about not saying hello first

u have to...especially in guides... u get girls from every socio- economic group in one group... we have a daughter of a ob/gyn - lawyer power couple and girls of divorce..single mom...living in a trailer park...

Still that brings a smile on my face. I was discussing today with a g.f that we need a real womens mag. Real size 16plus models

Hiiiii Ata

7:20 am

this dove program really cool...its all about advertizing manipulation

7:21 am

having the girls focus on what is really important..and what really makes them feel good

7:21 am

it gives us tools that we can work with

Carlee i like the fact that they use real women off all ages.

7:22 am

all ages..shapes..etc

7:23 am

7:32 am

7:33 am

Hey, Herin. Going to Disneyland today! :D

Opps Red

Put on a cute pair of undies (practical too)

Well, there isnt a dress code....

but still.

7:42 am

the nutritionist cares what you wear?

Oh gosh, I hope there will be no lookin at underwear.

THink they might be a hotty KJE

Well kje, its one of those first impression thins, and I am not lookin forward to this at all.

7:43 am

am back for a few..kitten decided it is cuddle time...

Awww Carlee.

7:44 am

oooohhh - a MALE nutritionist - honestly, not sure I've ever met a male one - in the hospital they all seem to be women

7:44 am

its our "quality time" every day until my hip falls asleep..u have to set a "certain" way

No its a lady!

7:44 am

My Favorite Ride is Indiana Jones...:)

Its a woman... I swear. I am still not lookin forward to it, and I need to make a decent impression...

7:44 am

7:44 am

*sorry I am looking for a new icon

they are alwys ladies, usually recovered anorexics...sorry but its the stereotype.

7:45 am

why not looking forward? and no, I wouldn't think they'd see your undies...do they examine you that way? I don't think so...

I like the walrus Darth!

7:45 am

7:45 am

Yeah but I have had it FOREVEA!!!! I think I will make a picture of me and DR

8:50 am

hi Haz

8:50 am

I'm afraid George isn't allowed to be totty today

8:50 am

Well, not exactly her - we didn't have a digital camera in those days and I've never got round to scanning pictures of her.

8:50 am

ooops

8:50 am

Still - it's like her.

8:50 am

near enough :D

8:51 am

Haz, is your icon a clue today? :)

8:51 am

The major disadvantage of dalmatians is that they shed hair, all day, every day. But great fun companions.

8:52 am

and bounce all day every day?

8:52 am

Yes, it's a clue to two words (do5 and do6) It's not very subtle, I'm afraidl

8:52 am

Yes, lots of energy. She used to walk to school with me to pick up the girls and the children queued up for pats.

8:52 am

Hiya, Haz@

8:52 am

Hello Judi!

8:53 am

It seems Hazel only cares for beautiful dogs. What'sup with that?!

8:53 am

awwwww

8:53 am

I have a beautiful dog as my pic!!

8:53 am

Hello Uniquity! Yes, I like beautiful dogs, I get pleasure from looking at them. I'm so shallow!

8:53 am

oh. I misread that. LOL

8:54 am

Haha...her tongue looks so big in that picture!!

8:54 am

it is. its as big as her backside easily

8:55 am

Are you sure it's her tongue? It could be a slice of ham being snaffled.

8:55 am

What time do you start work, Uniquity?

8:56 am

it could well be ....

8:56 am

Her tongue is bigger than my Jake..She could swallow him whole! I just have a short shift today, 5-9. Supposed to be a quiet time...Ease me into it maybe?

8:57 am

Ah, so you have time to babble before you go.

8:58 am

hobbit is panting at my feet at the moment. She's just been chasing next door's cat around the garden and up into our willow

8:58 am

I've already finished babble...and it is just 11 am my time. I see a nap in my future..

8:59 am

9:10 am

You're welcome.

9:10 am

Ok all - I better get out of here or nothing will get done to5! Happy Friday, and happy Babbling!

9:11 am

morning all

9:11 am

Jacula actually posted across the Bertie book to me, I then passed it on to my sister. It was hilarious.

9:11 am

Well, I'm off to shuffle papers here at work. Slow day so far. Have a good weekend, everyone! *poof*

9:11 am

fireworks

9:11 am

Good morning sadie - and have a good day, Judi.

9:11 am

*poof*

9:11 am

Congratulations pabtrek

9:11 am

morning Haz

9:11 am

Bye Kris.

9:12 am

I love Bertie...he is a character I really got involved with. And his nursery school teacher is not a vacca, his Mum is :)

9:12 am

congrats pab

9:12 am

thanks

9:12 am

I know. The story develops beautifully with Bertie trying desperately just to be a normal boy.

9:13 am

The use of "creation" in relation to Bertie gets me all riled up. I read it in a day or two so I was thinking about it a lot.

9:14 am

It is just a story, but there are probably lots of Bertie and Irenes everywhere..

9:16 am

At least the phrase "Indigo child" wasn't used yet. Fiction gets me so upset sometimes, :)

9:17 am

Indigo child??

9:18 am

Children born after 1970's thought to be a higher state of evolution. Isn't google great?

9:18 am

Yes...indigo children are theoretically more evolved and far superior than all others. Mothers usually think they deserve better than the best and are...well...nuts.

9:18 am

It's just an extreme version of "my kids an uber-genius"

9:18 am

oooooooo

9:19 am

especially when someone else googles things for you!!

9:19 am

See, this is where I fall down in the smug stakes. I should have pretended to know what Uniquity was talking about all along.

9:20 am

bye all,better get some jobs done

9:20 am

You mean Lori doesn't think you're a genius? Has she not damaged your psyche by being less than complimentary?

9:20 am

To be fair, I learned it from books and an episode of CSI :)

9:20 am

Bye jess.

9:21 am

Well, if you learned it from books, that's great. CSI just backed it up.

9:21 am

I should take this issue up with her...but extremists believe that other inferior children oughtn't exist. So that might result in murder. Bad idea.

9:21 am

Oh well, that's taking things FAR too far. It's one thing to be a doting parent, quite another to wish ill on others.

9:22 am

I doubt it is that common to be that extreme. Maybe only in fiction. Hopefully only in fiction.

9:23 am

I'm hoping it's only in fiction as well, but people are capable of monstrous things.

9:23 am

just ask Jordan

9:24 am

Ah, Jordan.

9:25 am

Jordan?

9:25 am

there's one woman who shouldn't have reproduced!

9:25 am

google "jordan and peter"

9:25 am

Google Jordan and Peter Andre. Have a bucket ready.

9:25 am

especially their wedding

9:26 am

Okay, looking.

9:26 am

You remember Jordan, Uniquity - mother of Princess Tiiiiiiiiaaaaaammmmmmmmmiiiiiii.

9:26 am

and the creator of THE DRESS

9:26 am

And you know how I deplore excessive letters. She named that child to annoy me, I'm convinced.

9:26 am

no, not creator, inspiration for

9:27 am

Well...I have lots of tabloid trash. Not learning much other than that they love the limelight.

9:27 am

Whoa, just got a shot of her bust. Who are these people?!

9:27 am

Google images - the DRESS is there.

9:27 am

Good day, fair damsels.

9:27 am

looool

9:28 am

Hello Vicuna. You've joined us at a high point in the conversation.

9:28 am

Ah, Jordan again, I see.

9:28 am

That's a large dress....nearly makes her bust seem proportionate.

9:28 am

hi vi!

9:28 am

if uncooth is a word, cooth should be too.

9:28 am

Yes. Blame Atalante, in FM's absence.

9:28 am

They look like Barbie and Ken...

9:28 am

she has various children by various different footballers

9:28 am

Yeah, but it would be couth.

9:29 am

and "pop stars"

9:29 am

They sing, Uniquity. It's worse than Vicuna.

9:29 am

lol, Haz.

9:29 am

...how many letters in Tiami? Tiiaammii? This is ludicrous.

9:30 am

These people are orange. There is nothing right in their world.

9:30 am

It's a made up name. They actually call the baby Princess. Enough said.

9:30 am

I cannot google any further.

9:30 am

lmao

9:30 am

hello

9:30 am

Nice icon clue, harpjane! lol

9:31 am

The thing is, they take themselves seriously. THEY are the product. And people buy stuff about them.

9:31 am

Hello harpjane.

9:31 am

omg. just googled the dress. her boobs look like melons!!!

9:31 am

how many letters is the bottom row a?

9:31 am

Jordan was born with five names,I see. Raised for the insanity.

9:31 am

she has her own very classy perfume

9:31 am

thanks vic

9:31 am

they missed the word fritto

9:31 am

does anyone have an icon clue today?

9:31 am

She has actually had the chest expanders reduced to more natural proportions.

9:31 am

I do, harpjane!

9:31 am

She ran for election and offered free breast implants. This must be stopped.

9:32 am

She just loves publicity, full stop. We're playing into her hands. Aaargh!

9:32 am

lol haz different versions of the same word, you and i?

9:33 am

Her proportions are far from natural, methinks. There is nothing about her that I would ever look at and say real.

9:33 am

So we do, harpjane.

9:34 am

Hmm... not a lot of good icon options, methinks...

9:34 am

But that's what she wanted, Uniquity. Stand out from the crowd. Have such a big bust that nobody could get within five feet of her.

9:34 am

I'm glad we Canadians offer mostly comedians, rather than trashy musicians/models, etc :D

9:34 am

how she rides horses properly and doesn't topple over their necks, I'll never know

9:34 am

It's pretty limited today, Vicuna.

9:35 am

We're deeply ashamed, Uniquity. She hasn't conquered the global market yet, and hopefully she never will.

9:35 am

She has the most ghastly speaking voice - all whiney and monotone.

9:35 am

Apart from that I don't have strong feelings about her.

9:36 am

No, no feelings at all.

9:36 am

her husband is just as bad

9:37 am

He's Australian, isn't he?

9:37 am

Or does Cyprus claim him as a favourite son?

9:37 am

both adore him

9:38 am

Is it true he's to be given The Australian Order of The Kangaroo for services to Australian emigration?

9:38 am

Kangaroo Poo maybe

9:39 am

There. I'm a clue. Not a very exciting one, but oh well.

9:39 am

It's a good one, the explanation helps.

9:40 am

good pic

9:41 am

It just seems so hard to believe that with all these letters, one can't get either teeth or tooth.

9:41 am

or sooey

9:42 am

Or detox.

9:45 am

Apparently the chat is now officially de4/6.

9:45 am

Off topic, but does everyone who uses firefox know of the imminent release of FF3? THey are trying to break a world record for most software downloads in one day.

9:46 am

i already have the beta version

9:47 am

Yeah..they released that much earlier. I don't know what the numbers are, but that might decrease the whole world record breaking part.

9:47 am

Is that a cue for smug?

9:47 am

Could a mass download cause internet failure in a corner or two of the globe?

9:48 am

Is this something we should be actively considering?

9:49 am

I like going to the pledge map and see some rather unexpected countries planning to download it.(No need to do it Haz, I am just being a corporate sell-out :))

9:49 am

Has Ballymena pledged yet?

9:51 am

So, I've just looked up Ballymena as my geography is...non-existant. You're in Ireland??

9:52 am

(Northern Ireland.)

9:53 am

Northern Ireland. County Antrim.

9:54 am

Ballymena is the town. It's just that some people around here think that the word begins and ends in it!

9:54 am

Maybe it's Haz's imagination we're all figments of.

9:54 am

I'm glad I never took Geography. I would go loopy.

9:55 am

Or do5/16, perhaps?

9:56 am

I don't think people do geography the way we used to. Or at least, they don't learn capital cities and rough ideas about countries.

9:56 am

then she could be a dalmatian :D

9:56 am

Cullybackery...I love google maps. Quite the names. (I was never taught ANY geography. I know our provinces, that is it).

9:57 am

I distinctly remember learning about the wheat crops of Saskatchewan in geography

9:57 am

Cullybackey - not far from here! One of my favourite names is in Co Londonderry - Tamlaght O'Crilly.

9:57 am

I had a very poor geographical education, but I got tired of the ignorance and eventually sat down and learned at least the countries on my own.

9:57 am

Or Ballymatoskerty, it has a ring to it.

9:58 am

Balleymoney st!

9:58 am

One of my favorite place names is Throg's Neck. I always imagine a throg to be sort of a long-necked frog.

9:58 am

I know what you mean, Vicuna. I tend to look at an atlas to get my bearings.

9:58 am

I like Nebnett Thrubwell

9:59 am

Ooo, me too, Ata.

9:59 am

The Bally in Ballymoney and Ballymena is pronounce Balla, rather than with the y.

9:59 am

and I always wanted to live in STrawberry

10:00 am

hey y'all - hugggggggsssssssss

10:00 am

This is fun. I have no sense of direction though. I can find Africa, USA, Canada...that's about it. My ignorance of international affairs will continue for some time.

10:00 am

I am wondering why detoad doesn't work then?

10:00 am

lol

10:00 am

hi everyone

10:01 am

Have you been sufferring an infestation, rururocks? lol

10:01 am

Hello ruru and nance.

10:01 am

what about Australia?

10:01 am

It's big.

10:02 am

hey haz

10:03 am

big enough for Uni to able to find?

10:03 am

I have found somewhere called Cootamundra in Australia. I want to live there.

10:03 am

The Bill Bryson book on Australia is fun. An original title 'Down Under'

10:03 am

Bimbi state forest...like Steve Irwin's daughter? Or is she like the place?

10:03 am

He didn't come across any babblers, as far as I can tell.

10:04 am

Was she Bindi?

10:04 am

bindi!

10:04 am

babblers are a secret lot

10:04 am

Oooh, n not m. :(

10:04 am

You've got to be joking, ruru. Some of them will tell you more than you ever need to know!

10:05 am

*cough*. Secretive...pah.

10:05 am

I ... AM... ALWAYS .. joking haz

10:05 am

Haz is right. Many a fact that should definitely have been secret is not.

10:05 am

a lot more

10:05 am

Oh good, ruru!

10:06 am

Okay, dooty calls (as found in the grid to5/16). Back later for more fun and secrets.

10:43 am

np bootshoe -

10:44 am

Did you get my icon clue, boots?

10:48 am

i am new to this, what is an icon clue?

10:48 am

this is my third puzzle on babble and i am only 5 words away from finished

10:49 am

bbot - on Fridays, some people change their icons to be a clue for a word in the grid - Kris's icon is a clue...mine is not

10:49 am

there's an icon theme each day (listed from Lickety's Babble clues). The theme for this day is to find a word from the grid and put a picture of it in your icon (for pro users who can do icons)

10:49 am

Only your 3rd puzzle? You must be very good!

10:51 am

the hardest thing is finding the time to complete the puzzle... i was only about 15 away yesterday when i had to quit.

10:51 am

Well, yes, that is a challenge.

10:51 am

yes, yesterday's was long...I may move my limit down from 300 to 250 -

10:51 am

I got within nine yesterday and didn't allot enough time to finihs

10:52 am

I've been doing this a few months, and I always depend on help from good players like Temple Owl, kje, and rururocks! (and others)

10:53 am

if it is more than 300, it just wears me down and I don't really enjoy it by the end

10:53 am

I didn't play yesterday - I'd still be working on it if I had.

10:53 am

brb

10:54 am

yesterday's grid was more challenging because so many of the larger words were similar and hard to keep track of

10:54 am

i hate the four letter words. process of elimination can get you most of them. the fun part is finding the 8 and 9 letter words. using the point numbers and your vocabulary to solve those...

10:54 am

I still haven't bought a car - dreading dealing with the salesman - ugh

10:54 am

if I could just walk in and pay and walk out it would be so much easier

well i am going to the supermarket to grab some lunch - c u later and happy babbling to all!

10:55 am

bye TO - didn't realize you were still here!! HAGD!

ty - i was sidetracked by wrok :/

10:55 am

bye TO

10:56 am

that damn pesky wrok

10:56 am

I can't do the 8-letter words unless they are ed, est, less, or the like

LOl beats work any day LOL

10:58 am

Sometimes I can't get the 4-letter-words, either :)

10:59 am

and it's always funny which bunches of letters are words and which aren't

10:59 am

any given day, any given owrd, Kris - they can all elude us at different times

11:00 am

it's easy to get stuck on one letter position

11:01 am

I do enjoy looking at the all-gray at the bottom -- ah!

11:01 am

is ruru done yet?

11:03 am

hi guys

11:03 am

hi guys

11:03 am

Hi lex!

11:03 am

welcome lex - enjoying the heat?

11:04 am

wow. co6/24 is quite the weird stutter word

11:05 am

hahaha!

11:06 am

very bad tx connection

11:52 am

hi and bye dawg

11:52 am

does anybody remember the good old days when you had to go to the library and get a reference book to learn new things?

11:52 am

yes

11:52 am

good old days? I think not! Love the information age... love being able to do my research without using a card catalog!

11:52 am

thank god for computers. they tell everything

11:53 am

"i know it's true cuz i found it on wikipedia...."

11:53 am

how did we ever do it before? remember all those cross referenced cards and spending hours browsing through the card files

11:54 am

my job would be much harder without PubMed

11:56 am

OK, if lexi pops back in... tell her to check facebook and give me a call - ciao all

11:56 am

this one is easy i needed that after my abysmal failure yesterday!

11:57 am
