1:35 am

1:35 am

1:35 am

oh im sorry i missed your grand entrance lol

1:36 am

lol Kiwi, I was quiet as always, hah

spirte - I don't think that's it

1:36 am

im sure its mealsavings or something anyway ive emailed her for it cause i need it lol

1:37 am

looks cool, with all the different kinds of meals. Not? Too bad, lickety :(

1:37 am

weird -- got to a mealtopia this time I googled, but it doesn't look helpful

1:42 am

thanks Lance

1:43 am

thats funny

1:43 am

duh... *shuts up mouth and stops tardy clues*

1:45 am

70 left and i only have 9 greyed tiles lol

1:46 am

so far I like the grid, am actually finding biggies on my own.

1:47 am

im just going to the list now its been quite fun and i got all the qu's lol

1:47 am

I'm blind to the biggies -- everyone else has been announcing them constantly

1:47 am

I'm having trouble too with them jilli...

1:47 am

lots of them are real words, jilli

1:48 am

I have one of the no 8 but can't find the other

1:48 am

i have only 4 8s and no 9 yet

1:48 am

i have to finish in 45 min as stargate atlantis is on then bones lol

1:48 am

I have one 8 and no 9

1:49 am

I love Bones

1:49 am

he is drooly thats for sure lol

1:49 am

I've never watched bones..

1:49 am

I haven't seen Bones -- I think it's on here when I'm out to bridge

1:50 am

she isn't bad either. And the dialogues are just brilliant.

1:50 am

I'll check it out spritey

1:50 am

yes it is a very well written show

1:51 am

does it always come to a happy conclusion? or a resolved conclusion?

1:51 am

it is worthwhile, 1Mar and jilli. Very well made.

1:51 am

what network is Bones on here?

1:51 am

most times just

1:51 am

prob CTV jilli

1:51 am

either that or global

1:52 am

will check

1:52 am

that's why I prob haven't watched lol not a fan of formulaic tv

1:52 am

most times reasonably happy, 1Mar. Sometimes it leaves you pondering.

1:52 am

I like pondering sprite

1:53 am

its the bodies that get me they are so realistic best ive seen lol

1:53 am

and how the heck they come up with all the story lines is amazing considering its based on real life must be some real sickos out there

1:53 am

Global, 8pm Mondays, when I'm at bridge as I suspected

1:53 am

there sure are unfortunately kiwi :(

1:54 am

don't you have a vcr jilli?

1:54 am

absolutely, Kiwi. I have just seen the episode where Bones and Hodgings are buried in that car. Where it takes the effort of each team member to get them out in time. It is brilliant.

1:55 am

that was wicked sprite

1:55 am

i think im two seasons ahead of you spritey

1:55 am

I do, mar, but haven't used it in ages -- hard to set the time along with the satellite dish. I'm lazy. And then I forget to watch the tape.

1:55 am

it was. Scary. But so well made, so thorougly thought through.

1:55 am

which is wierd cause we are usually behind everyone else lol

1:55 am

Kiwi: you always are, hun. We are retarded, tv-wise.

1:56 am

It doesn't sound very appetising!

1:56 am

you wait until they start brining in the serial killer which goes for about 6 episodes but not after each other - there are other stories in between

1:57 am

Hello everyone. Such a handsome 'man' Jilli

1:57 am

will get there, Kiwi :) jilli: I am pretty sure you would love the dialogues, and the characters. But it is not like you need something to fill your time, so if it doesn't appeal to you, why bother?

1:58 am

good eve lyn hugs happy babbling

1:58 am

hi lynxxx -- I agree :D

1:58 am

oh... did nobody notice my beautiful spelling in that earlier post?

2:18 am

His list is there Infernal - not sure about Expert

2:54 am

I see a 60's fashion designer has made her way into the grid!

I meant about Mr Pres sorry should have been speciefic

2:55 am

not much news otherwise, lady. Still in lots of pain. But there is a chance of her coming home this week.

Ok thanks I have missed a few days of babble

2:59 am

Yah Sprite.

howdy all

Hi Volley

hi herin

Hello Volley

hi lorrie

3:16 am

hello everyone, just arrived home from Vancouver, will not be babbling tonight but will check in again tomorrow morning, see you then, goodnight all

3:17 am

Hi Volley, and Flosey briefly

Hey Flosey

hi flosey lynxx

Hi flosey and bye flosey :)

going off for a while i cant think

See you later herin..

later

3:24 am

hi all

3:24 am

Hi Ice

3:24 am

how goes?

3:24 am

Good morning ice - you're either late to be or early to rise.

3:25 am

late. Its 125am. i will be going to bed shortly

3:26 am

just had a ridiculuos argument and decided to calm down and get tired for bed by babbling

3:26 am

Well, it's morning here, so another grid to tackle.

3:26 am

morning Haz and a nice if largish one to start you off

3:27 am

We'd better be calming and boring in that case.

3:27 am

Good morning, lynxxx. Yes, it looks a decent size. I can cope with tiddly grids for only so long.

3:28 am

oh haz, even when your in a mood your refreshing at the least =D

3:28 am

I'll be sure not to say anything controversial.

3:30 am

controversial would still be less frustrating than the argument I just had. Turned out to be a POV problem and everyones definition of certain words meaning we were arguing similar points without realizing it

3:31 am

Always have a dictionary to hand for an argument like that.

3:32 am

Still, it's better to have an argument over ideas than over personalities, it's harder to change personality than points of view.

3:33 am

well we did, the thing is when you read a definition it is not a complete sentence which leaves an implied subject which one friend to to be him personally observing the characteristics while my friend and I assumed more of a the object has the characteristics of kinda subject

3:35 am

You're not getting het up by having to relive the argument, I hope?

3:35 am

good point. back to the grid

3:36 am

Just comfort yourself with the thought that you were probably right.

3:37 am

lol

3:37 am

Good morning Haz and icep. Coffee break time here.

3:37 am

hello fm. how are you

3:38 am

Good morning FMitch. If it's coffee break at 9.30 you must have had an early start?

3:38 am

she's be up since sparrows ****!

3:38 am

Doing OK ta for a Monday morning icep. Yup Haz, 5.30am but did have a good sleep last night.

3:39 am

lol lynxxx

3:39 am

thx for the word lynxxx

3:40 am

This grid will keep you happy for a while Haz and the IQ word is here today too

3:40 am

nope - its not there, just not offending delicate ears

3:41 am

*pops in quickly*

3:41 am

I see that, FMitch. I'm sure Atalante is a founder member.

3:41 am

well theres another less dirty word that fit in your statement that I found. Hows that?

3:41 am

It is lynxxx, ar4/4 and pl. Well talk of the devil and there she is lol

3:41 am

There she is! How's Uncle Stephen Hawking doing these days, Atalante?

Stephen today is it? Very well, from what I can tell. Its hard to have a decent conversation with him these days though

3:42 am

actually the word that popped into my head was sa4

3:42 am

morning Ata

3:42 am

lool Ata

3:42 am

Oh Ata - good one!

3:43 am

lol ata

3:44 am

See, that just shows how bright she is - Albert's genes live on.

3:45 am

I'm not really here, I've got to go to Canterbury to getting some stuff scanned in a sec. I just came on to find the address of the shop, and just happened to gravitate over to babble

3:45 am

Just happened to gravitate - I must remember that as an excuse for being here.

3:45 am

Gosh she's not here and can still chat with us, impressive stuff!

3:45 am

I thought it fitting with Albert

3:46 am

Well, she is Einstein's granddaughter.

3:46 am

shes been hanging out with shroedingers cat

3:46 am

just like herin earlier. does that mean we're related?

3:47 am

I'm impressed with the calibre of the dogs here (in the grid)

3:47 am

I don't think so, Ata. Does she have a link to Einstein?

3:48 am

Oh, I get you - 'I'm not here'

3:48 am

unlikely

3:48 am

(being australian)

3:48 am

But who knows?

3:48 am

*Lobs a halibut at Haz*

3:49 am

did I show you lot this yesterday? http://tinyurl.com/6hqpuk

3:49 am

Sorry - I needed that fish to waken me up properly.

3:49 am

If it's the lovely knotwork, yes. We were impressed.

3:49 am

"you lot"?? who is this 'you lot' she refers to?

3:49 am

ok, good LOL :D

3:49 am

I'm too tired to remember!

3:50 am

pffft

3:50 am

I'm choosing to pass over the 'you lot'. It's her artistic temperament and all.

3:50 am

I didn't get to sleep till 6am!

3:50 am

*clears space on the floor for stomping but then decides it will use up too much energy*

3:51 am

Although you'd expect better of Albert's granddaughter. He had lovely manners.

3:51 am

gosh, didn't realise you were old enough to remember him!

3:51 am

Was the husband snoring again? Or did you have geinus ideas coursing round your brain? Not being able to sleep isn't nice!

3:52 am

Have you been time travelling again Haz?

3:52 am

No, it's just that his manners were legendary. I'm surprised 'you lot' didn't know that.

3:52 am

husband snoring. I went to bed when he got up

3:53 am

A spare bedroom might be a plan?

3:53 am

I am but a grain of sand blowing in the wind of life

3:54 am

There's the Belfast river and plural in the grid.

3:54 am

I tried! I could hear him from down there!

3:54 am

if hes like me, a tennis ball sewn into pajama back would be an easy fix. I dont snore when Im on my side

3:54 am

*smacks self with halibut and refreshes coffee*

3:54 am

la5/14 and la6/24, that is.

3:54 am

he does. on his side, on his front, on his back ...

3:54 am

Ear plugs in the spare bedroom is the next of it.

3:55 am

oh my. tried any of those snore solutions from the store? those do help lower the decibel level at least

3:56 am

I hate wearing ear plugs *sigh* I hate not being able to hear *anything*. Like the dog falling down stairs, or the cat howling, or someone breaking in LOL

3:56 am

every snore solution possible. He has a CPAP machine that makes life easier, until he takes off the mask in the middle of the night in his sleep!

3:56 am

Tennis ballin hubs mouth perhaps?

3:56 am

What an interesting household you have at night. You'd miss too much excitement if you went to sleep.

3:58 am

If you tied the mask on?

3:59 am

that might work!

3:59 am

gaffer tape fixes many thngs

3:59 am

I think so! Don't use chains or barbed wire or anything, but something that might keep the thing on and defy him working with it.

4:00 am

CPAP machines are the best snore killers I ever did see, so if he has one of those, Id duct tape it to his face each nite

4:00 am

You could make it a bedtime ritual. 'Come and get tied up, dear'

4:00 am

ROFL Haz

4:00 am

whats amazing is that he can still snore with the cpap machine working. just not at train-going-through-a-tunnel level

4:01 am

does he have the full mask or just the nose piece mask?

4:01 am

full

4:01 am

wow

4:01 am

I think a tracheotomy may be your next move.

4:02 am

that is truly amazing

4:02 am

ooooo what a good idea

4:02 am

he doesnt snoer every night with cpap on, but he certainly can

4:02 am

(Pats self on back for having such good ideas this morning)

4:03 am

and then you can use the optional speech valve, so he can sound like a darlek

4:03 am

dunno about tracheotomy but has he seen an ENT specialist about surgery?

4:03 am

It'll just be like talking to Uncle Stephen!

4:03 am

I had my tonsils removed and some other blocking tissue so if/when I lose weight my apnea should completely disappear

4:03 am

loool

4:04 am

surgery is a possibility - but only when he's had the cpap machine for about 2 years

4:04 am

I have actually met Stephen Hawking!

4:04 am

so long as we don't suggest anything no8/50

4:04 am

I'm sure my husband would be capable of doing a tracheotomy - as long as we got the book open at the right place, he's handy with a scalpel.

4:05 am

can't be too hard, I'm sure I could do it with a textbook beside me!

4:05 am

I can pick up the kit from the hospital this afternoon

4:06 am

It's bound to be simple enough to do. A bit of tubing, a teady hand and there you have it.

4:06 am

It would save going onto a waiting list as well.

4:06 am

a teady hand??

4:06 am

wow Im sorry to hear about the 2 years thing... I hope to be rid of mine before having it 2 years.. surgery was 3 months after being diagnosed

4:06 am

exactly. I've helped with one before. Must be easy enough if all those actors on Casualty can do it

4:07 am

oooo lucky you, ice!

4:07 am

It's no8/50

4:07 am

Yes, teady hands are essential. A steady hand is also handy - it's a two handed operation. One for the scalpel, one for the tube.

4:08 am

I bet icep has bad dreams now :(

4:08 am

I like the idea of the optional voice valve. You could choose who you want to sound like.

4:09 am

good morning all

4:09 am

nine 8-letter words? ... what a thing to wake up to!

4:09 am

I guarantee Ive had worse and/or less sensical... however i think I would have better dreams if I could figure out that no8 you keep refering to

4:09 am

Come to think of it, actors could make full use of it. 'I'll have a Laurence Olivier, please'

4:09 am

Morning Boo and Lady

4:09 am

ice - think lawyers.

4:09 am

would it work shutting up people in the chat log?

4:10 am

Good morning Boo and LadyNatts.

4:10 am

Hi Boo & Ladynatts

4:10 am

lol ata

4:10 am

Gosh, there's an application I hadn't thought of, Ata. You do think of the best things.

4:10 am

It's a compund ice and there are 2 x no8/50 whilst we are at it

4:10 am

of course.. it

4:10 am

it's only 3:10 in the morning here...

4:11 am

ah thankees.. I ws thinking lawyers I just didnt have the second part twisted together yet...

4:12 am

What's with being up at that time, Lady? Do you have a snoring husband? We have a solution. A tracheotomy with optional voice valve.

4:12 am

I think it may be that he is NOT snoring tonight.

4:13 am

Dear me. Do we have to invent a snoring machine? Get a tape going to lull you over.

4:13 am

Ata can make £ out of hubs affliction by selling CDs

4:13 am

have ata call you at nite, apparently her husband snores enough to keep you awake

4:13 am

lol haz... or it may be that I can only sleep 4 hours at a time

4:14 am

*no-one* would want those! this is not gentle melodious snoring!

4:14 am

We should set up in business - Your problems, Our solutions.

4:15 am

Could we go on Dragons Den?

4:15 am

that would be fun

4:15 am

hehe... seriously, though. hubby usually snores enough to keep the dogs awake.

4:16 am

so what ahs changed lady?

4:16 am

I think we have a competition to see whose husband is the worse snorer.

4:16 am

I have no idea, icepyro.

4:17 am

We'll have to give this some thought, Lady. Why would a snoring man stop snoring?

4:17 am

lol haz

4:17 am

he's dead?

4:18 am

no, I can hear him breathing, ata.

4:18 am

oh my. such dreadful thoughts ata

4:18 am

Could he have listened to some hypnotist's tape telling him that he doesn't need to snore?

4:18 am

good start then!

4:18 am

I think it is because after 17 years, he is going to see his mother.

4:19 am

Could he have eaten some miraculous food?

4:19 am

So he's sleeping like a baby?

4:19 am

I woulda guessed lost weight or changed sleeping position, but seeing ones mother does offer a better nights sleep.. at least mine does

4:19 am

something like that, yes, haz

4:20 am

Ata, how often does your husband see his mother?

4:20 am

not a lot any more. she's dead

4:21 am

Oh dear. That's not going to work for him.

4:21 am

nooooooo lol

4:21 am

did the snoring become worse since then?

4:21 am

And there I was,thinking that if she just moved in with you.....

4:21 am

we leave July 1 ... I couldn't believe it, but he actually called yesterday to "order" his menu for the first few days...

4:21 am

yep! but he put on weight at the same time, and got a more stressful job, and and and

4:22 am

Where does his mother live, Lady?

4:22 am

no! a mother should never move in with married children imo.

4:22 am

Malaysia, haz.

4:22 am

oh my ata, that sounds like the worst combo for you =\

4:23 am

Oh! So quite exotic food? If he had been going to Britain he's have been ordering 'nursery food'.

4:24 am

lol... well, he was in britain from the time he was 10.

4:24 am

in boarding school.

4:25 am

What did he order?

4:25 am

I have no idea.

4:26 am

The wise woman would eat everything and pronounce the mother-in-law a wonderful cook.

4:26 am

oh, believe me, I will...

4:26 am

when he started in on his "ordering" of food... I walked out of the room.

4:26 am

Wise woman!

4:27 am

But his mother will have been charmed. She'll love it that her boy remembers her food with fondness.

4:28 am

well, I think trying to help others has calmed my mind enough to sleep now

4:28 am

*sigh* I should get going into the wonder that is Canterbury before I fall asleep again, and before its streets become too bethrongèd with Italian and French school holiday tourist groups

4:28 am

true, haz. she is so excited that he/we are coming, she can talk of nothing else. his sister is a bit put out, since she is visiting at the same time.

4:28 am

Funnily enough, I was just about to ask if you had calmed down, ice. Helping others is the way forward.

4:29 am

Oh, Italian and French school children. Do they shove you in the back and say 'Pardon!' at the same time?

4:29 am

well I appreciate the thought haz.

4:30 am

The wise woman would be all sweetness and light to the sister as well.

4:30 am

no, just kick you out of the way. and they rove in hordes

4:30 am

goodnight everyone. May your future be more restful

4:30 am

don't worry, haz... I am all sweetness and lightness :)

4:30 am

Ice - off to bed with you now that you're as calm as all get out. Get that machine going and float off.....

4:31 am

I knew you would be, Lady. Not like those Italian and French children.

4:31 am

LOL quite so

4:31 am

But Atlante, can you imagine what hordes of British children would be like, let loose on the continent?

4:32 am

they could never be as bad as the Italian kids!

4:33 am

Your faith in British children is touching.

4:33 am

LOL no faith at all in them! I'm just used to the Italian brats we get in Cant

4:33 am

FMitch has gone quiet. Do you think she's working?

4:33 am

I was *just* wonderiing that

4:33 am

Im putting my war pain on

4:33 am

okay, i'm going back to bed now... hubby is awake and going to the bathroom.

4:34 am

*paint!

4:34 am

sounds painful

4:34 am

Bye LadyNatts - sleep well.

4:34 am

War pain. There's a new one.

4:34 am

I'll try... ty haz

4:34 am

sleep well LadyN!

4:34 am

ty ata! *poof*

4:34 am

Bye Lady

4:35 am

I'm gone too. *poof* did you see that nice clean departure? I'll be back if I ever escape from Canterbury!

4:35 am

I had better be disciplined and poof too

4:35 am

If you don't come back we'll offer a reward. Surely someone will pay for the safe return of Einstein's granddaughter and Stephen Hawking's niece?

4:36 am

(nobody loves haz ... aw .... everyone's leaving her)

4:36 am

Oh well. I'd better go too. Some people just won't stay and play.....

4:36 am

Bye y'all!

4:36 am

you would hope! :P

4:36 am

*really poofs*

4:36 am

See you later - be safe!

4:37 am

Catch up later!

4:37 am

Bye!

5:38 am

5:41 am

Lorrie, any chance u could clue that cl9 one more time for the dummies? Those persian pixies have me stumped

Jaz, the pixie people also sound like a sort of sparkling wine.... Any better?

5:42 am

not better yet, but let me cogitate a bit more...

5:43 am

cl + hesitant 2 letter sound + small 2 letter word I am you are he **, +plural ending

5:43 am

the definition is apparently : Educated people considered as a group; the literati.

5:43 am

you cogitate,ill ruminate:)

5:44 am

makes you sound like a cow chewing cud crosshair :)

5:44 am

jazflyn - do you have ce7.32 the color/s

5:44 am

lol

5:44 am

cogitating's making my head hurt, think i'll just try thinking

5:45 am

yes i have the ce7s

5:45 am

if you do have ce7.32 add the L & another vowel after the S

5:45 am

I thought of another way cl9 sounds like the plural of clerks (kind of)

5:45 am

(first S that is)

5:46 am

G'd morning Babblers! A semi bigg-ish grid today!

5:47 am

howdy lori

5:52 am

G'd morning carlee

5:53 am

Hi/Bye Carlee !

5:53 am

5:53 am

5:53 am

lol

5:54 am

cl + not him but h** + being dead, is called pousing up da***** *the flowers)

5:54 am

5:54 am

just want that one out of the way before i have to go to work

5:54 am

pousing? *pushing even.......

5:54 am

ooooooh, clever cluing Lori

5:54 am

Jaz I only got cl9 because of Jaz's help lol

5:54 am

***pauses to beat typist within an inch of her life*** :p

5:55 am

*I mean Lorrie's clueing*!!

5:55 am

boom! ty lori darlin;)

5:56 am

Did that (typing aside) do anything for ya' cross?

5:56 am

worked like a charm

5:56 am

It seems to have more than the desired effect, Lori.

5:56 am

lol, only a small post lag..... ack G'd morning Haz!

5:56 am

i can see again!:)

5:57 am

Seems to have had (have to get my tenses right). Good morning all.

5:58 am

i've gotta go and re-wire my eyeballs, thanks all for the help, toodle pip

5:59 am

Later jaz. haz, please focus, because typos and laguage abuse is my forté not 'yers..... :D

6:00 am

See? *language even

6:00 am

I'll try. I'm just reliving the Pride and Prejudice moment invoked by your inside profile quotation.

6:00 am

It would definitely have been written in sarcastic font, if such had been available to Miss Austen.

6:01 am

Absotively. I concur with 'yer concurrment!

6:01 am

I thought you might!

6:03 am

T-storms threatening here, and yet another dungeon of fog. ***sigh*** I miss that yellow round thing in the sky.....

6:03 am

Is this a worse than usual weather pattern for you?

6:03 am

that yellow round thing seared a hole in the top of my head yesterday:/

6:04 am

You weren't wearing a hat?

6:04 am

Not necessarily. Temps are in the range, it's justthe fog factor, certainly not an anomale for here by any stretch of the imagination.

6:04 am

Fog isn't fun.

6:05 am

cant wear a hat my perephrial vision makes hats a real pain in the tushie

6:05 am

Poor cross. No hats available west of Nova Scotia? :-)

6:05 am

Nor is getting the top of your head seared off, of course.

6:05 am

lol nice try,i dont live out east

6:06 am

Are you follicly challenged, cross?

6:06 am

Or should that be folliclely?

6:06 am

nope nit yet anyways,give it a year

6:06 am

not

6:07 am

I bet Donald Trump doesn't have any problems with getting the top of his head burnt.

6:07 am

A large hideous toupéé could work without altering your periphoral visionary lifestyle.... :D

6:08 am

lol@the donald

6:08 am

Gosh, I mention Donald Trump and Lori comes up with a large hideous toupee. We're on the same wavelength.

6:11 am

look at bill gates,woth 50 billion dollars and still cannot get a good hair cut:/

6:11 am

He certainly has proven that no amount of money can buy good hair.....

6:11 am

you would think he would google one...:)

6:11 am

Look at Elton John.

6:11 am

Is there a pattern emerging here? The richer the man, the worse the hair cut?

6:12 am

I have 14 words! Almost done.

6:12 am

The moral of the story is, don't hang around outside exclusive barbers.

6:12 am

elton can get away with it,he has a rocking glasses collection

6:13 am

Dear crosshair. You've just landed yourself in the Penalty box for giving away gl7. Off you go!

6:13 am

no,the moral is that when you get rich enough,you dont care qwhat people think

6:13 am

what did i give away?where?

6:13 am

heh heh heh enjoy the pb cross....

6:13 am

Was that Michael Jackson's motivation for his change of appearance?

6:13 am

oops

6:14 am

gl7 - as worn by Elton John

6:14 am

got it

6:14 am

Or by Scots la6. Clever dogs like la7 don't need them.

6:15 am

there is nothing to eat in this penalty box...got some nachos and cheese and maybe a few brewskis?

6:15 am

Sacrilege! The pb is always stocked. I'll get the cabana boy right on it....

6:15 am

That will teach you to post word.

6:16 am

words even.

6:16 am

ty for hint haz

6:16 am

Haz meant *werd!

6:16 am

You are welcome.

6:16 am

this nacho cheese is cold..............

6:16 am

(He's a bit of a whine, isn't he?)

6:17 am

Too many g's, s's, c's, m's and l's. Ack ***to the coffee pot!***

6:17 am

at least i dont care that the curtains dont match the pillows:P

6:18 am

Good lord man, the complaining! In the sanctity of the pb, our pride and joy.

6:18 am

Curtains and pillows in a penalty box? It's supposed to be a punishment, for goodness sake.

6:19 am

and the hot tub is not warm enough....

6:19 am

cant get good help it seems

6:19 am

You can come out of the penalty box now.

6:20 am

Hello Babbleland inhabitants.

6:20 am

ty:)

6:20 am

was nasty in there

6:20 am

(Making note not to send crosshair to the PB too often)

6:20 am

G'd morning chiley.

6:20 am

Good morning chiley.

6:21 am

6:21 am

What's this 'vacuum cleaner' of which you speak?

6:21 am

Later Haz, cross. chiley, I'm not awake yet, so my opinion is useless.... :)

6:22 am

I'd better run back home and shower again. When I came in there was a mass exodus

6:24 am

lol chiley, smells okay from here.

6:26 am

6:33 am

Good Morning - nice fat grid!!!

It's nice that you are waiting in the wings

7:35 am

phantom - fragile

7:35 am

ardilla if you add a vowel and then a plural onto the 5 you will get both of the 6's

7:37 am

7:37 am

to put it better....vowel on end for one and then plural on end for other

7:38 am

lillian what are you cluing?

work

7:45 am

school - waiting for the Algebra II darlings to arrive

7:45 am

oh, i couldn't babble from work, and am always surprised to find people who do. If we were allowed to, I'd have serious problems

7:46 am

well - I run a computer lab - for remediation and enhancement - so when they aren't here I am just waiting - when they are here I am up and down - in the downs - I am babbling

7:47 am

me too dorens, we have a very strict technology policy and in my office we observe it - can't say what goes on elsewhere

7:47 am

What big city is your town closest to lex?

7:47 am

Charlotte

7:47 am

i'd never work if i could babble... lack the self=discipline, would probably be babbling while kids sat in my office waiting for my attention

hi all!

7:48 am

hi TO :-)

7:48 am

hey owl

7:48 am

No - I can stop - that's why I guess I seem so rude to you guys - the kids come first and may walk in at any time for some sort of help -

7:48 am

Hey TO

7:48 am

you don't seem rude to me lex

7:49 am

oh, I seem rude then (if it seems rude) cause I drift into the kitchen for something and get involved and end up coming back half an hour later when I thought i'd just be gone a minute

7:49 am

It's just that I don't always tell y'all that I am away

7:50 am

not rude, in my book

7:50 am

I usually say that I am here - but not always that I'm back - thanks - I kinda wondered - glad it isn't rude

7:50 am

we all get sidetracked by other things...that's life

7:51 am

Yeah - I call y'all my cyber friends -

7:51 am

i don't think i'm finishing this one...222 left

7:51 am

8:01 am

I cannot believe there are 12 Q words

8:02 am

I only have 4 and I can't seem to monkey any more

8:02 am

I have 9

8:02 am

think space

8:03 am

now I have 7

8:04 am

I might have to consult lickety

8:04 am

i'm thinking space.....hmm...no results--must be the space between my ears!

8:04 am

oh most def lex.. this size, we need him

8:05 am

I got 103 with out - deciding how long to hold out

8:05 am

babs are you asking for the clue?

8:06 am

my rule of thumb is usually halfway mark.. unless it's under 180 and then i might attempt listlesss

8:06 am

good morning

8:07 am

Hey harp

8:07 am

after yesterday's discussion about some who get upset about certain types of clue requests, I'm laying low on asking...

8:07 am

hiya harpjane

8:07 am

hi harp

8:07 am

eek - hence - I am not first rate ----yet

8:07 am

oh missed that - I ask too often sometimes - usually at the end of the day

8:07 am

I've only ever made the puzzle once without the clue list

8:08 am

morning harp....go ahead and ask babs we won't talk about you

8:08 am

what? now we have clue police who say how we should ask for clues? please!

8:08 am

babs, I wouldn't worry about it... those who don't like to get clues can just turn off the chat.

8:08 am

ask away babs

8:08 am

I've been censured before.

8:09 am

did you bite back, lex?

8:09 am

I think they think I have not worked my brain sore before asking...

8:09 am

do you have bruises? lol

8:09 am

no - still too babble young and shy

8:09 am

i get mildly irritated from time to time by people who don't seem to try, but then again, there are times that I'm sure i appear not to be trying

8:10 am

we are not all the same and what might be easy to one person is not for another

8:10 am

sooo... about those 5 Q words I am missing....

8:10 am

how do you know if someone's not trying??

8:10 am

that's a beautiful picture in your icon, Babs - what is that?

8:10 am

i'd never finish without either clues or going to the archives

8:11 am

EXACTLY - and what is easy today may not be easy tomorrow - it is supposed to be a brain stretch AND a leisure activity.... so sometimes when it stops being leisure I ask - and sometimes for 4/4's

8:11 am

Hello, folks. i was lurking and I was not around for whatever discussion you are referring to from yesterday, but here's my two cents: when i give a clue or two and people reply with "not working, need better clue" I find that quite rude and entitled. I don't censure, but I stop giving clues.

8:11 am

it's a Van Gogh I put up ages ago when it was appropriate for the icon for that day

8:11 am

A please would go long way.

8:11 am

*a long way

8:12 am

I think everything is fine until people *expect* clues to be given

8:12 am

thanks, babs, didn't recognize the Van Gogh, but it's lovely

me, too. and god forbid don't mention a to z or ask them to google

8:12 am

um... please?

8:12 am

there's something about "need a better clue" that implies inferiority in the clue, but actually my clue might have been fine, it is they who have the problem

my take is that i hate it when our lovely chats become a stream of endless clues....does that sound harsh?

8:13 am

or clue requests

8:13 am

when i don't "get" a clue, I don't blame the person who gave it, I blame my lame brain.... I suspect others do too.

8:13 am

i actually enjoy cluing, but balance is nice

8:13 am

Sorry, ladyNatts! After your lovely "plase," I can't help yet anyway. Just started!

8:14 am

true, dorens

8:14 am

Yes - and when "I don't get" - I blame myself for being a lame brain

8:14 am

I enjoy the clues not just to get the answers but to see how different peoples' minds work in giving them...

8:14 am

Forgive lame typing today, please. *sigh*

8:14 am

lol vicuna, I understood

8:14 am

yeah - I like watching to clues too.

8:14 am

looking for 5 q's too, Lady

8:15 am

I like seeing people's clues and the different way they come up with things. I think sometimes ppl forget though that they are *clues*. One has to consider them before whining

8:15 am

I actually tantrum - how BAD is that

8:15 am

Bad bad bad. lol

8:15 am

what do you mean, you tantrum?

8:16 am

speaking of clues, how many letters is the lone S in the corner?

8:16 am

I have felt ignored... so I try to get attention like

8:16 am

And hello, Ata, by the way!

8:16 am

sasasaassasasasa - I need sa#/#

8:16 am

SO now I'm on the lame list

8:17 am

4 letters is the S in the corner.... I just found it after you mentioned it

8:17 am

When chat's flying by it's easy to miss a line or two. I don't think you're being ignoried!

8:17 am

Lex, you are being SAsssssssy

8:17 am

And good morning to all.

8:17 am

don't have it lex

8:17 am

usually it is a really frustated think - and I don't so it often anymore - I understand the flow better

8:17 am

hi scrabs

8:17 am

lex you can always threaten to hurt the puppy like i do!

8:17 am

hi vi, ata and scrabs

8:17 am

do any of you in the US need assistance purchasing food?

8:17 am

it was just an example - didn't really look for one to ask for

i scrabbler

8:17 am

Hello, Scrabbler.

8:18 am

hey scrab

8:18 am

Hello Babble Teammates!

8:18 am

no owl, you not scrabbler, you owl

8:18 am

okay, may I PLEASE have a clue for that s in the corner, if you would be so kind?

8:19 am

don't have it yet, so sorry

8:19 am

Hey, JBV, did I see you mention that you're a linguist?

8:19 am

I am therefore I think.

What is your area of study, JBV?

8:21 am

I'm an expert in spanielese

8:21 am

8:21 am

yes, I'm sure you will all understand that I knew my calling from a very young age -

8:21 am

no lady, that comes from another s

8:21 am

I should have been a linguist...

8:21 am

ROFLOL, Atalante. And I am the Rabbit Whisperer.

8:21 am

hi evan - ihave been buried in the grid sorry if i have not hello'ed in a while

8:21 am

No, Spanish 6 comes from another.

8:21 am

oh... geez... so it does

8:22 am

Hello, EvaN.

8:22 am

applied linguistics is about teaching and learning languages, among other things, I've been involved in education all my life, as an ESL teacher, supervisor, now director of a bilingual/ESL program

8:22 am

apart from looking after my bairn who fell down the stairs last night and hurt her back eva, fine....it hasn't stopped her from talking tho!! how are you eva?

8:23 am

I dreamed last night that I rescued a large white bunny from the side of the road and brought it home and got very confused cos I had no idea how to look after him

8:23 am

I am studying Italian now, JBV. I finally found 2 great books, by the same author, to help me learn and study.

8:23 am

that's so strange, Ata, I had the same dream the night before about a big white cat!!

8:23 am

then what happened, ata?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmlie down on this couch*gets out note pad*

8:23 am

Atalante--you should have called me in the dream.

8:23 am

really? how odd!

8:23 am

then I woke up!

8:23 am

the corner s is an earthquake

8:23 am

Last two - fr 5/16 and fr 7/40 - just cannot see them. Clue please.

8:24 am

And earthquake...tremor?.....

8:24 am

Scrabbler, Italian is beautiful - it's my father's native language, but I didn't learn it at home, had to study it in school - I actually speak Spanish and French better

8:24 am

8:24 am

oh...thanks, chiley...someone before had sad it was a 4 letter word..

8:25 am

Italian is my mother's native language too. Her parents were immigrants. I took 1 semester in college (1980) and want to become competent for a trip to Italy in the next few years so I can visit the villages where my grandparents grew up.

8:26 am

wtg gran!!

8:26 am

Yay gran

8:26 am

Yahoo for Gran!!

8:26 am

Yay for gran!

8:27 am

ty chiley

8:27 am

hip hip hooray gran!

8:27 am

fortunately a little bit of Italian goes a long way when you're visiting, since everyone will be so nice and will love to hear you say even a few words, I'm sure - but be prepared that the language of the villagers may not be what you're studying in your textbooks

8:27 am

Doren--your beloved Phoebe is almost 2!

8:27 am

lol I was just thinking that, JBV. Countryside Italian is interesting

8:27 am

hints for the solo O or the i words?

8:27 am

sorry was distracted looking for hubby's glasses

8:27 am

Yes, I know that there are many dialects, esp in Sicily where I have distant relatives.

8:27 am

yes scrabbler... birthday on saturday, and she loves singing hatty birdday to you!

8:28 am

solo o is streams in the desert

8:28 am

oa5 - palms int he desert

8:28 am

I visited my father's family in Sicily and I found I could speak easily with the younger people who had been to school and learned "Italian" as a second language, but the older people, who were mostly uneducated - it was quite a different story

8:28 am

ty vicuna great clue :)

8:28 am

wow, jbv, didn't know there was that much difference in Italian!

8:28 am

thanks vic!

8:29 am

8:29 am

(guess mine was no good,sulks)

8:29 am

Aww, see, LadyNatts, now I'm ready to clue you any time! ;) lol

8:29 am

JBV, you also have family in Sicily? My grandfather grew up in the province Gualtieri Sicamina.

8:29 am

lol harp... of course it was good, I just saw vic's first!

8:29 am

thanks to you too harp. :) i just happened to see hers first...

8:29 am

8:29 am

8:30 am

8:30 am

I am not going to finish this puzzle... or any puzzle for 3 weeks hence :(

8:30 am

Scrabs, I think we had this conversation before because I remember trying to look up that town, couldn't find it - what is it near? My father's family is from Mezzojuso, a small town in the province of Palermo

8:31 am

did you ever find more q's, lady, I haven't!

8:31 am

why not lady?

8:31 am

could someone clue the is words?

8:31 am

Morning

8:31 am

japanese word harp.. i think it is here often

8:31 am

no, babs, I'm still at 7 Qs, and, Dorens, I'm going to meet my mother-in-law and sister-in-law... in Malaysia

8:32 am

Gualtieri Sicamina is near Messina--southeastern Sicily.

8:32 am

ok thanks

8:32 am

is + beginning of spanish 6

8:32 am

I just looked it up again, scrabs, there's a great photo of the town on the website (I must have been spelling it wrong before)

8:32 am

yup got it

8:32 am

There's a Q in the grid? Golly, there is. TY for that clue, Natts.

8:32 am

is5-6 combo like an IS*** of a magazine, but change the u to another vowel

8:32 am

well have a great time lady N

8:33 am

there are 12!!! q

8:33 am

cool on the trip, lady! ever been before. i went to india twice this year and am now craving more travel, but none in the close future except college search this week with my daughter to GA and NY.

8:34 am

Thanks for the i's, EvaN.

8:34 am

I have never been before either... my husband grew up there. My 17-y-o daughter is coming with us.... aside from the US, I haven't travelled for 30 years!

8:34 am

And Dorens!

8:35 am

(Was braiding daughter's hair when yours went by!)

8:35 am

yw

8:35 am

wow! how wonderful to go now---how many places will you go? my daughter is same age!

bye everyone - see you later!

8:35 am

I loved braiding my daughters' hair... too bad they didn't like it.

8:36 am

JBV--I spelled it wrong too. O at the end, not A. And I have looked at that web site before. It gives me chills to think of my grandfather growing up in that town and then being told to go to the US with his 2 brothers, leaving his parents and others sibs .

8:36 am

enjoy your day owl

8:36 am

not too many places... as his mother lives there, we'll spend much of the time near her.

8:36 am

hopeyou have a great time lady

8:36 am

my braiding days ended long ago--i forget what age the girls shun our attempts to make them beautiful in the mornings...

8:36 am

my mother never braided my hair. I feel hard done by now

8:36 am

Bye Owl

8:36 am

thanks, lilliann...

8:37 am

mine were probably 4

8:37 am

I remember my mother braiding my hair.

8:37 am

Scrabs, I'm reading a book which is exactly about that - you may want to check it out - title is "In the Garden of Papa Santuzzu" by Tony Ardizzone

8:37 am

awww... poor ata... you know, my sister (elder by 7 years) still asks me to braid her hair.

8:37 am

i love to braid my daughter's hair but have difficulty doing it some days as i 'm getting arthritis in my fingers

8:37 am

my mom never knew how to french braid -- she tried once + it ended with me getting a bowl cut to remove all the knots + tangles...

8:38 am

Something ami4/5?

8:38 am

it shows the heartwrenching decision to leave the homeland and strike out for the American dream (turn of the 20th century)

8:38 am

oh my, evanadine!

8:38 am

my daughter had thick curlu haor. braiding it wasn't nearly as much trouble as getting a brush or comb through it

8:38 am

I think my mum's efforts would have resulted in the same

8:38 am

oh dear eva!

8:38 am

if she had tried, I mean!

8:39 am

i LOVE my mother, really, i do.... but i am tender-headed, and gentle, she is not.

8:39 am

i didn't have thick enough hair so had to have it short and my mam did give me pudding bowl hairstyles...lol

ty jbv, i will get the book. *poof*

8:39 am

glad you survived evaN

8:39 am

JBV--I just found it on Amazon and the synopsis has brought tears to my eyes. I am going to get the book ASAP. Ty so much. We should talk more.

8:39 am

I can keep my hair in plaits for about 30 seconds. It just bounces out after that

8:39 am

you know... sometimes it's not worth playing the grid when there is such interesting chat going on.

8:40 am

book does look good jbv

8:40 am

my dad was always the one to comb my hair after a bath when i was little -- mom would just rip through it, leaving me in tears...but dad would sit down + take his time with each little tangle

8:40 am

my youngest daughter ( the one coming with us to Malaysia) was a weeper when it came to my doing her hair... and I AM gentle.

8:41 am

i would love to have long hair....i use to love putting braids in my dads hair...i would spend hours brushing it and putting clips and bands in

8:42 am

Yes, Eva, I remember once having a head full of tangles, and my father had me lie on the couch with my head on the armrest as he patiently detangled my mop. He probably did that to keep my mom from coming at me with scissors.

8:42 am

my daughter is the same lady

8:42 am

I never wore braids.. mostly ponytails

8:42 am

you mean long, *fine* hair lilli!

8:42 am

I hear you, EvaN... my dad was the one who worked his way gently through my tangles... and I don't necessarily mean the one in my hair.

8:42 am

that book does look wonderful! anyone have suggestions on good things to do in Savannah...i'll be there a week while my daughter attends a summer art program.

8:42 am

I have long hair - sort of - and I just want someone to brush it and play with it - it melts me

8:43 am

sounds like a nice dad, scrabbler!

8:43 am

yes ata, which is why i don't grow it long otherwise it looks very lanky and limp

8:43 am

nothing like having someone play with your hair... I agree, lex!

8:43 am

but if you have long, *thick* hair its impossible to braid or play with anyway

8:44 am

babs, as I get older, and he is now 77, I appreciate him more and more.

8:44 am

i always wanted crazy-long hair, like crystal gale...heh

8:45 am

nowadays, i keep it super-short!

8:45 am

i wouldn't be bothered about braiding it ata, i would just like to know how it feels to have long hair and see what i look like

8:45 am

my dad died 4 days before his 78th birthday... I miss him every day

8:45 am

I have pretty thin hair - kids tease my when I put in all up in a pony because it looks silly - usually use claws

8:45 am

I can wear mine in 2 ways. down. or in a ponytail. everything else collapses

8:46 am

I was in 5th grade when a 6th-grader teased me about not knowing how to braid my own hair. I showed her!

8:46 am

mine needs trimmed again - before breakage begins

8:47 am

my daughter has half curly and half straight hair which is a pain, it looks really nice curly but the straight bit doesn't curl very well

8:47 am

I learned not only how to braid my own hair, but how to french braid it... and I do it still

8:47 am

Natts, I dread the day when my parents are gone, even though my mother makes me crazy sometimes.

8:48 am

I did my sister's and then my daughters' in french braids, fishtails, twists, etc etc - no more though we are all too grown up

8:48 am

scrabbs, my mother makes me crazy most times.

8:48 am

what is a fishtail?

8:48 am

lex, my sister is 52 years old, and she would still ask me to french braid her hair.

8:48 am

m-in-l is back on the poor me gig - which makes ME nuts

8:49 am

apart from the obvious!

8:49 am

a fishtail is pretty much a 2-strand braid that LOOKS like it has a bajillion strangs -- like a fishbone....

8:49 am

had to confront her on Saturday - never any fun

8:49 am

herring bone

8:49 am

oh my g.... I haven't done a fishtail in years!

8:49 am

wow

8:49 am

I'm not too grown up - my girls are

8:50 am

looks like this when its done: http://www.cosmogirl.com/cm/cosm ogirl/images/fishtail-braid-gtl-oct07- med.jpg

8:50 am

it's kinda fun if you have time

8:50 am

Sisters? Don't get me started!

8:50 am

Haha, is anybody looking for words anymore?

8:50 am

I used to do fishtails on my girls when they were younger and had long hair.

8:50 am

wow! never seen one of those before!

8:51 am

not I, scrabbs, I have pretty much given up looking for words

8:51 am

(Wow, look at the braid conversation I started! And missed all of, due to administering snack.)

8:51 am

I still have only 8 q's - have not gone to the list yet

8:51 am

There is a q?

8:51 am

you can only really do a fishtail on long hair... braids, you can do with any length

8:52 am

oh! I just found the "space" word -that was clued about two hours ago! just a little slow here

8:52 am

there are 12 Q words, bea... it's terrible

8:52 am

could somsone clue the 9?

8:52 am

Is this grid hard or is it just me?

8:53 am

i think it's hard, bzz

8:53 am

JBV, can you save me 2 hrs and clue the space word please?

8:53 am

I usually do the q words first because they're so easy... but today I am having a dreadful time with them.

8:53 am

I think I saw the 9 clued as a compound word... starting with no... I haven't got it yet, though.

8:53 am

the Qs simply dont exist

8:54 am

qu 6/27 and plural - it's a physics word I think

8:54 am

I found qu**mire, and its plural.

8:54 am

no9 - not + what lawyers do

8:54 am

perhaps... qu***um theory?

8:54 am

let me know if you need more of a clue, my brain is stalling

8:54 am

oh sorry. thats an 8. oops

8:54 am

the 9 is a cl word but that's all i know about it

8:54 am

that's not 9 though

8:54 am

OK, I am completely confused with these clues flying by.

8:54 am

no but i didn't have it yet, thanks!

8:55 am

take your time, scrabs

8:55 am

But TY for the clues--I will process them.

8:55 am

SCRABBS!!!

8:55 am

the 9 is cl 9/60 - start with the first letters of a man of the cloth cl***c, then add plural, 2 vowels and s

8:55 am

oh! just got the space ones

8:56 am

Does the 9 build off of the cl5/12 in the bottom right corner?

8:56 am

qu6 and 7 - like pulsars

8:56 am

Hey, Little Squirrel, how are you? Walking OK now?

8:56 am

oops, bad clue, - cl***c + s + plural ending

8:56 am

Thanks, JBV!

8:56 am

cl9 = cl**ks do paper work + ir**** are my favorite flower - drop the r and add e before the plural

8:56 am

And Thanks, Ata!

8:56 am

cl9 is on a cl*a* day you can see the cliffs of dover and when you die you push up the da*****

8:56 am

ty jbv

8:57 am

thanks got it!

8:57 am

8:58 am

8:58 am

8:58 am

9:00 am

hi haz

9:00 am

Sparkly one says hello as well.

9:01 am

I have to make a phone call and place an order.

9:01 am

Yes, Scrabbler. Means traitor, like calling someone a Benedict Arnold.

9:01 am

Braiding my hair? It's not been long enough for that for years.

9:01 am

Quisling was a nasty Norwegian.

9:01 am

Greetings and felicitations, oh Sparkly One.

9:02 am

What's the news, Ata?

9:02 am

best friend was getting her first short story published at the end of July. but the book has come out early and when I went into a bookshop in Canterbury they had copies. So I have her first published work. She's a real author now!

9:02 am

and spangle is nearly in the grid

9:02 am

WOW cool!

9:02 am

OH, I remember when you said it was accepted. That's so cool to have it real and solid in your hands!

9:02 am

It would be a red letter day to have spangle in the grid.

9:02 am

its just so coool!

9:02 am

what genre

9:03 am

You can be really smug today, Atalante.

9:03 am

vampires lol

9:04 am

ooooo

9:04 am

Gulp.

9:04 am

Oh, Haz, that made me start looking for my pups name as his starts with Q.

9:04 am

Hold onto your jugular, Haz!

9:05 am

very pretty vampires though!

9:05 am

And I don't even keep any garlic in the house, either.

9:05 am

Ata, that is where we differ! I like nice boys more than pretty boys! lol

9:05 am

Admittedly nice AND pretty would be ideal...

9:06 am

these are generally pretty and nice :)

9:07 am

Phew.

9:08 am

Congrats to your friend, Ata!

9:08 am

This grid is hard!

9:09 am

Can you name-drop by proxy? 'I know someone whose best friend has published a book?'

9:10 am

oh definitely LOL

9:10 am

Oh good.

9:12 am

I'll have my own out in Otober

9:12 am

Yes!?!?

9:13 am

Vampires, too?

9:13 am

well ... its John Howe's really. But I did art for it!

9:13 am

Oh yeah! Supercool!

9:14 am

Come October we'll be name dropping like mad.

9:14 am

how am I going to survive in Malaysia??? I can't even take the heat in Canada!

9:14 am

Buy stocks in the Malaysian Ice Co. right now, LadyNatts!

9:15 am

LOL Vicuna... does it even exist?

9:15 am

Stay hydrated, Natts, and get hosed down often.

9:15 am

Well, if it does, it'll be quite a coincidence, as I just made it up!

9:16 am

I'm mostly naked, with a portable a/c unit in my bedroom, and I am still too hot

9:16 am

Must go have a book read to me. Back later, I suppose, although I must say my enthusiasm for this grid has waned.

9:16 am

(water bottle notwithstanding, scrabs)

9:16 am

See you later, Vicuna.

9:17 am

How many words today

9:17 am

273 today

9:18 am

Thank you.

9:24 am

wow, LadyN!

9:25 am

fireworks for me. I'm off to update Babble Stats for the first half of the year.

9:25 am

ata, it keeps me awake if he doesn't snore... I was playing the grid at 3:10 am

9:25 am

Is he alive, Natts?

9:26 am

And all because he's going to see his mother?

9:26 am

I was there, LadyN :P

9:26 am

Yahooo Angel!

9:26 am

Time for a break--food & newspaper.

9:26 am

perhaps, haz. and yes, he is still alive.. he was yelling at me this morning, and now he's off to work

9:27 am

First, Natts--is he still breathing?

9:27 am

Phew, alright I am off for now.

9:28 am

I'm off for now too... my eyes are burning.

9:29 am

Bye you two.

9:32 am

Ho hum. Words.

9:32 am

9:33 am

nooooooooo not that song!

9:33 am

I'm noping not.

9:34 am

Oh yeah, Haz, and *that's* really beautiful singing. XP

9:34 am

'Hum hum hum hum hum hum hum' Is that better?

9:34 am

Much.

9:35 am

Daughter is singing "you've got a friend" incessantly, so I've got about all the singing I can handle already.

9:35 am

did you tell her that song is almost 40 years old? that might clam her up

9:35 am

Sometimes is gets a little bit of "raindrops on roses" mixed in with it, too.

9:36 am

Oh no, SharonRA. She doesn't care about that!

9:36 am

good morning all, looks like a hearty one

9:36 am

my kids don't either, to much. But carol king still wouldn't be cool enough for them.

9:36 am

Old led zeppelin they love

9:37 am

Hello crpw.

9:38 am

Hello everyone :-)

9:39 am

Daughter's only 6 and has no concept of cool or uncool.

10:03 am

Walter was great!

10:04 am

He was bored and frustrated a lot, of course, but never lost his temper on the flights and was a little charmer during our stay.

1:19 pm

down to 1; of course, several were ones I was sure I entered...

1:19 pm

Oh cool, Ata. Are these the ones that are to be made into prints, or did you just bring all kinds of stuff so as to have proper scans of it all?

1:24 pm

Don't know what A2 size is, but that sounds good!

1:25 pm

*hits self on head with elementary math book* Going by points is a lot easier if you actually calculate them right.

1:26 pm

be careful not to hurt the owl with the headbanging

1:26 pm

Good point, icepyro. But I think it can fly to safety on its own.

1:26 pm

1 + 1 is 2; 2 + 2 is 4; 4 + 4 is 8; 8 + 8 is 16 and 16 + 16 is 32

2:07 pm

126 left to find and I am sure that the rest of the Q's are made up words

2:07 pm

yes it does

2:08 pm

if I could afford it, I would hire a cleaning person, some people actually like to clean, i.e, Haz

2:08 pm

2:08 pm

Mmmm... hot chocolate...

Perhaps I was kidnapped and didn't realise?

2:11 pm

lol, lexleeanne

2:11 pm

I think I will take an anti-social when I get home tonite and make up for it

2:11 pm

2:12 pm

Good afternoon Angels! I am at work and am showing babble to a co-worker...wonderful watching someone's reaction to babble :)

2:16 pm

Jac - who is not re4ly here, but out in the garden watching P bbq some pork chops when she should be watching the veggies, waves to everyone.

2:16 pm

I can't! I have a sore throat :P

2:16 pm

2:16 pm

Hi, Jacula

2:17 pm

2:17 pm

Evening Jacs

2:17 pm

2:17 pm

Hello, fictional Jacula.

2:17 pm

isnt it amazing! that tie break!

2:17 pm

cnan add a vowel for the 8 and pl for the 8

2:17 pm

yes!!!!

hullo jac - who is a figment of my imagination

2:18 pm

:-))

2:18 pm

jac? have you got an rss feed on your blog?

2:18 pm

Ata - don't think so.

2:18 pm

We are all halucinating

2:20 pm

It's the smell of the barbecue causing us to unhinge. More than usual, even.

2:20 pm

mmm bbq

2:20 pm

mmmm meat:)

2:21 pm

that reminds me, i need to get some ingredients and make some marinade and bbq sauce for this weekend

2:21 pm

Oh, thanks for reminding me I need to figure out what to make for supper.

2:21 pm

Ata. Why do you ask?

2:21 pm

What time are you expecting us all round icep?

2:21 pm

Vi, how did the b'day party go?

2:21 pm

*Warns P to protect the BBQ from raiding Babblers.*

2:22 pm

bbl

2:22 pm

just because I'm lazy and like reading all my blogs through livejournal, which takes rss feeds from other blog sites

2:23 pm

re8 clue please??(my last 8)

2:23 pm

What does rss actually "do"

2:23 pm

Well, FM, herding 10 little kids around is not really my idea of the perfect way to spend an afternoon... But it went fine, and I think all the children had a good time.

2:24 pm

its a web feed format that converts all sorts of different feeds into ones recognisable by most feed readers

2:24 pm

pug - I give someone elses job to you to do.

2:24 pm

I'll check later, Ata. However, I've had to make the blog by invitation only so I doubt I can do RSS.

2:24 pm

re8 - to alocate again

2:24 pm

*allocate

2:24 pm

aha!!! ty guys!

2:25 pm

8 words to go. BBL for those. Happy Babbling. *Heads in direction of BBQ*

2:25 pm

you could hear the light bulb moment there!

2:25 pm

2nd no 8?

2:25 pm

fish worthy since I had the root word!

2:25 pm

Bye Jac and bon apetit

2:25 pm

2:26 pm

ty haz

2:26 pm

Hello again, Haz.

2:26 pm

Good evening Haz

2:26 pm

its useful to have so that people can read ones blog however they choose, through internet sites, mail programmes etc

2:27 pm

Hello again!

2:27 pm

hi haz!

2:27 pm

Now I'll need to read the chat log to see what I've missed.

2:28 pm

not the chog?

2:28 pm

no8 not legit

2:28 pm

Oh, don't worry Haz. I don't think there's been any mayhem without you.

2:28 pm

Why use one word when you can use two.

2:28 pm

Plenty of mayhem, don't listen to them. They lie.

2:28 pm

Is it time for meyhem now then?

2:29 pm

I mean "Oh, do not worry, Haz. I do not think there ha been any mayhem with out you."

2:29 pm

*looks affronted*

2:29 pm

My sister has just texted to say that she's in Centre Court at Wimbledon!

2:29 pm

oh WOW! lucky her!

2:29 pm

you're kidding!

2:29 pm

wow!!

2:29 pm

Sure, FM. Would you like to start the mayhem ball rolling?

2:30 pm

She's gone over for a couple of days, queued up, spent some time on Henman Hill and has now got in.

2:30 pm

Ah was she the one screaming in the middle?

2:30 pm

She has grey hair, is small and will not be wearing a Scots Jimmy wig.

2:30 pm

she timed it right!

2:30 pm

I can't find my How to Create Meyhem book anywhere :(

2:31 pm

what an amazing match

2:31 pm

Didn't she just? She only started queuing this afternoon.

2:31 pm

clue for me 8 please

2:31 pm

Must have lost it during the last round of mayhem. I keep mine tied around my wrist with a string.

2:31 pm

plural me6 booo

2:32 pm

me 8 builds from the 6 and 7 I clued a little earlier

2:32 pm

me8 - pl of me6/27, which is short for Margaret + donkey

2:32 pm

I was sure he (Murray) was out of it but he's revived up again nicely.

2:32 pm

*if* he wins this, he can win anything

2:32 pm

or maybe a portmanteau word meaning really large tush

2:33 pm

thanks vic

2:33 pm

loool Vi thats great

2:33 pm

Now come on, first he would have to beat Nadal, then Federer.

2:33 pm

I love the BBC. reorganise the whole BBC1 schedule for andy murray

2:33 pm

I'm being optimistic

2:33 pm

I know. BBC1 is no more.

2:33 pm

some of these words are just plain stupid...the whole exercise is a darn waste of time

2:34 pm

Bye hamilton.

2:34 pm

i give up (anyway I am uselessat it)

2:34 pm

Phone.

2:34 pm

unfortunately, stupid words are still valid words. see Vi's profile

2:34 pm

So *someone* read my mini tirade! lol

2:34 pm

oh ham - try again

2:34 pm

oh ham - try again

2:35 pm

i read it Vi...

2:35 pm

I always read the profiles of eccentric people

2:35 pm

=D

2:35 pm

lol. The owl is working!

2:36 pm

the most eccentric person is the one who created babble

2:37 pm

poor DrG

2:37 pm

Well, it's meant to be fun, hamilton, so if you aren't enjoying it, it is indeed a waste of time.

2:37 pm

*!*~*!* ta da *!*~*!* - thankjs for the help :)

2:37 pm

actualy the biggest problem with babble is it is using a rather old (in todays standards) dictionary list so some of the words have been dropped form todays dictionary

2:38 pm

Congrats cnan!

2:38 pm

I agree Ice

2:38 pm

The Enable dictionary is certainly eccentric.

2:38 pm

I don't object to the archaic words, but I do object to the foreign language ones!

2:38 pm

yay for cybernan!

2:38 pm

my point entirely vicuna

2:38 pm

I don't object to either so much as the inconsistency.

2:39 pm

i think we object more to the words that should be here but aren't

2:39 pm

I agree with Vicuna. If you don't enjoy it, hamilton, that's fine. Don't waste your time with it. Those of us who do enjoy it have a different point of view. Both equally valid.

2:39 pm

that too

2:39 pm

sure Haz

2:39 pm

But see, hamilton, we all do enjoy it, so it isn't a waste of time for us. (Or at least, not in the same sense!)

2:39 pm

course you can enjoy the game and also enjoy griping about enable

2:39 pm

lunch time -- anyone need clues before I go?

2:39 pm

mmmm.... lunch....

2:40 pm

I'll leave you all in peace...enjoy it!

2:40 pm

I think we like to gripe about a lot more than enable, hurshy -- lol

2:40 pm

Thanks hamilton - have a good day!

2:40 pm

bye hamilton

2:40 pm

Bye, hamilton. Good luck finding a more congenial way to waste your time! =)

2:40 pm

I would love the fr6/27-7/40 pair clued please nan???

2:41 pm

Very true, cybernan.

2:41 pm

And I shall start with the packaging of my new socks.

2:41 pm

SUPER cartwheelies for cybernan!!!!

2:41 pm

fr 6-7: french strawberry (s)

2:41 pm

They come in a ziplock bag. It even proudly proclaimed "resealable bag." but why?

2:42 pm

lol vicuna

2:42 pm

Has anyone developed a functioning time machine yet? If so, I wouldn't mind it being an hour and twenty minutes from now, thanks. Or you could all pop by and buy some books from me. I hate dead days.

2:42 pm

sorry don't know the referenc dear , dummy clue?

2:42 pm

It isn't as if I need to take out one pair at a time and reseal the others for freshness until I'm ready.

2:42 pm

f + bring up (as in children)

2:42 pm

cyber, I was thrilled when I typed in that fr word and it worked!

2:43 pm

Uni do you have a copy of The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square in stock?

2:43 pm

ty vm!

2:43 pm

I hope your fine establishment will buy in "The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance"

2:43 pm

Or is there something about proper sock use that I've been missing all these years?

2:43 pm

Alas, FM, we are lacking girls in pajamas. You could come in and vaguely describe a book title and I could try to help you though :)

2:43 pm

Vi you are not ready yet to know That Secret!

2:43 pm

having a passing knowledge of french, hebrew, japanese, latin and spanish does help in this game!

2:44 pm

lol cnan, so true.

2:44 pm

Well, that's fair enough, FM. As long as I know there IS a reason.

2:44 pm

But not German. Enable doesn't give a hoot about German.

2:44 pm

It accepts Heil.

2:45 pm

And hosen.

2:45 pm

off to make my lunch -- back at the flip :)

2:45 pm

true, and fuehrer, I think.

2:45 pm

But not hoser. I guess Canadian is unacceptable.

2:45 pm

And that one as well.

2:45 pm

But hosen is archaic English, not German in this instance, I suspect.

2:46 pm

But they'll have got it from the Germans.

2:46 pm

English is a germanic language...

2:46 pm

I wonder if enable would accept schadenfreude?

2:46 pm

And with Portuguese for mister, for goodness sake, yet they don't take Herr!

2:46 pm

deutschland deustchland über alles ...

2:46 pm

yes haz

2:46 pm

ooooh, that'd be some word if it did, Haz!

2:46 pm

It does Haz

2:46 pm

It does! I tried it in add word and it says it doesn't exist in the puzzle - therefore it must be in the dictionary.

2:47 pm

Hello, all! I'm back. Have to remember to send that e-mail immediately after midnight, that's alittle over an hour from now...

2:47 pm

Let us hope with a sincere hope that some day, we'll have schadenfreude in the grid.

2:47 pm

lol

2:47 pm

what does it mean haz?

2:47 pm

Well, the day that word is in the grid, Haz, I will send you a gift.

2:47 pm

It means having pleasure in another's misfortune.

2:47 pm

I suspect that if that word was in the grid, there would be very few words that day

2:47 pm

I can feel first year university flooding back as we speak..

2:48 pm

a gift full of schadenfreude?

2:48 pm

hello again, hmmm Haz, sounds like my m-i-l

2:48 pm

Nope, a gift full of echte Freude!

2:48 pm

Is she a charmer, flosey?

2:48 pm

was

2:48 pm

ca6/27 please? (mt last C word)

2:48 pm

alas

2:48 pm

Echte Freude is more like it, Vicuna.

2:49 pm

ag6?

2:49 pm

Very interesting conversation here...

2:49 pm

That's the second time today I've put my foot in it about dead mothers-in-law.

2:49 pm

ca6/27 - more like actor Nicolas, or shrewder

2:49 pm

LOL I sense a trend

2:49 pm

ty vic fish me!

2:49 pm

no love lost Haz, she never once smiled at me!!

2:49 pm

a + gl5/14

2:49 pm

Good heavens I can hear neighbours cheering at the tennis

2:49 pm

ag6 - a + what headlights do in your eyes at night

2:50 pm

ty

2:50 pm

We're into the fifth set. Will the light hold up?

2:50 pm

I have a dead mother-in-law. I liked her. Now I'll have to keep an eye on Haz and wait for her to offend me!

2:51 pm

yay Ive reached 100 words lol

2:51 pm

it should do if he keeps playing like this!

2:51 pm

could I please have a clue for la5/14

2:51 pm

yeay Ice

2:51 pm

My mother-in-law is also dead.

2:52 pm

mine lives here and I may KILL her

2:52 pm

its because we finally have someone who really *could* win Wimbledon. Tim Henman doesn't count

2:52 pm

ca6 (the last)?

2:52 pm

no really it is usually fine

2:53 pm

la5/14 - la + what's good for the goose is good for the ---der

2:53 pm

ca6--c + donkey + china is is as**

2:53 pm

ca6/21 - looks as if it's heading towards being a flavouring then ends in a vowel instead.

2:53 pm

thanks Vicuna

2:53 pm

ty

2:54 pm

it is still a spice haz

2:54 pm

ag5/16 please?

2:54 pm

phone

2:54 pm

"chinese cinnamon"

2:55 pm

ag5/16 - prejudice based on how old

2:55 pm

no dont screw it up now, andy!

2:55 pm

ty again vic

2:55 pm

Im sure once I get the word I will understand the clue

2:56 pm

I was thinking it was like French blackcurrant.

2:56 pm

this grid is a life sucking whore!

2:56 pm

not sex*** or size*** but ag***

2:56 pm

which one, icepyro?

2:56 pm

oh, ag5? Yeah, ag + classic prejudice (or belief) ending

2:56 pm

I think the next book i read will be a dictionary just so I can get better at this

2:57 pm

OH I didnt even see that ending! thx ata

That's the spirit, ice. That's where hamilton slipped up.

2:57 pm

its a tricksy ending to notice

2:57 pm

Gee whiz there are a lot of me6/21's.

2:58 pm

Oh I spent the first few days here complaining about the words Haz, I'm just more determined to learn and finish than ham was I suppose

2:59 pm

The fact that you came back again shows that there's hope for the addiction to grow.

2:59 pm

Complaining about the words is le5/14 and acceptable. Complaining about the entire game doesn't make much sense.

3:00 pm

you just have to give in to the notion that there will be weird words

3:00 pm

Ours not to reason why. Ours but to do and ... cry.

3:00 pm

And to the notion that there are words you don't know.

3:00 pm

but whatever dictionary ones uses, there would be weird words

3:00 pm

you are either a word puzzler or you aren't

3:00 pm

Its all part of the weird and wonderful world of Babble and thats all!

3:01 pm

Time for me to fade into the background and recharge batteries

I need supper... but it is still too early... sigh

4:28 pm

4:29 pm

our dog keeps peeing on my rugs, now about once a day. I want to have her put to sleep. Anybody here have experience with that

4:29 pm

I could... but then I'd have to move

4:29 pm

lol KJE

4:29 pm

peeing dogs or putting them to sleep?

4:29 pm

oh Inge, that sounds terrible. Sorry, but I haven't had to experience that

4:30 pm

Putting them down. I will talk to the vet tomorrow,but there is little to prevent her peeing, she is almost 16

4:30 pm

I had to put a dog to sleep - old and bad back problems - we just sat with her while the vet injected her and she fell asleep and died

4:30 pm

inge-if your dog is female-homrones might help. it didwithmy female dog

4:31 pm

gl 6/24 the first one anyone?>

4:31 pm

Oh good, scribe, I will explore that route, since she is female

4:32 pm

most vets will let you hold them while they do it if you want... or if you can't do it yourself, they will take them away. Our dog was too tired and in pain to even be bothered by the vet, she just laid there in my mom's lap

4:32 pm

gl 6 : gl + waht we breathe, and vowel

he is a nice guy, quite shy, actually. Jared, i think his name is.

Yes Jared is a popular one in Aus

9:40 pm

She taught him Latin for 3 years. i think he was the pres of her Latin club or some such thing. hollywood has quite improved him, but he was always a hottie.

I think the girls much like the tall dark and brooding of Jensen Ackles though

He was a hottie as Dean in Gilmore Girls too.

Later Ru
