Morning, folks! My first word sound good for dinner tonight! How many words are there today?
hi monkey 154
how was your trip?
cadets ARE navy people in training
hi monkey
Thanks!
a fe wthhousand i think and suppodely growing as they got things like mcd's kfc walmart etc only about 2 yrs ago.. the originail part of this area is kind of dead.. and as far as i am concerned they need so much more
they are a "bible belt" if you know what that is and they jsut got a bar a few months ago for the first time as the peolle in this area apparently voted for it or something
Trip was good. We're still pretty tired even though we've been back three days. Walter was good on the planes and had a great time but was well ready to come home. Found that beer! 7 bottles!
oh nice now your collection is complete
kiwi how old do you ahve to be to be an army cadet?
I was worried monkey with all the fires in the area
Yes indeed. Well, my husband's collection.
Ok i am back
Kiwi my friend is a air force cadet
hi herin did you get them sorted?
and my husband was a midshipman a loooong time ago
Yeah.... We were safe in Berkeley, of course, but we could smell the fires, ourt eyes burned a bit, we needed to take my grandfather inside a couple of times, the sky was orange at the edges, and there were a few ashes falling at the airport while we waited to take off. Climbed through clouds and then smoke when we left.
no im still waiting for my forms to be processed.
phantom -- satyr
hello all you burbling babblers -- I'm on my way to work with a copy of lickety's list in my backpack so I can sneak a few words in later ... but I have a (superstitious) bone to pick with the chatter yesterday who complained that there hadn't been any t's in the grid lately . . . well ha!
Kiwi doesn't the boys look so handsome in their uniforms
heh jwr
lol jwr
is lickety up then?
JWR it could be another 60 c words
fireworks!
list time for me 2/3's done
monkey I thought you might venture to Petaluma to get the beer and heard wine country had lots of fires
wtg freep
herin -- watch your mouth, girl!
wow justa wtg!!
Yah Freep
Ah! I'm glad that didn't have to come up.... But the safe areas were well marked in the paper every morning. My mom lives in Santa Cruz and her car was covered in light ash...
sdorry was away dishing up dinner
they'll be having remnants of those fires for a long time
enjoy the fireworks and stay away from the fires. I'm poof-ing....
there are three different cadet forces here in nz army, sea and air and you have to be 13 to join and leave at 18
lAter JWR
kiwi your son is in the military?
wow, freep!!!
do a lot of them go into the service after that kiwi hi kiwi
13????
no its one evening a week for teenagers to learn military life on a casual basis
YIKES
but my kieran wants to join the army as an armourer when hes 17
and with that... g'night y'all
Ohhh
night freep
nite freep sweet dreams
night freep
and im the treasurer of the fundraising commitee
g'nite freep
do they have to pay for their own uniforms?
no we get uniform from the nz defence force but we fundraise for camps and trips and electronic stuff and computers and basic running costs of the unit
Phantom: tirade
i been looking at that a dozen times already monkey lol
13 is a good age for the lads to join the cadets. Gets their heads on good and straight
what does the fundraising committee do to raise money?
Phantom: derby
my kieran is a corporal
he looks so smart in his uniform with his stripes lol
is that like ROTC or JROTC for those in the US?
we apply for grants through different charitable organisations, do bbqs, get donations, and the kids have to pay $100 a year subs and we currently have about 40 kids
or military based schools i guess
yes but not on a full time basis mlf
Nothing like Military based schools
wow monkeyed that ad5..strange word
We have cadets in Canada too -- Air cadets are very active in Quebec
those are not casual
they learn military stuff and writing cv's and behavioural management and leadership skills
I only know space cadets
lol
not at all like military schools -- more like boy scouts
kiwi i guess in the DOD schools overseas schools they can join after high school if they want to
You would Just1
Same here justmar lol
yep takes one to know o..
kiwi is your other son interested in it too?
I have at 7 + ta 7 + st 7 what is the 4th 7 ?
The Air Force cadets has got my friends lads head on good and straight. Little terror
you can say it justmar go ahead lol
kieran to do what he wants to do in the army has to be min 17 and have 80 credits in his school assessments
er7
thanks
he doesnt ahve a choice westie he gets dragged over there every wed nite with us so is getting it all early and he will be going when he turns 13 next year because i said he has to rofl
it'll do him good but he sounds more like the beach type
i have only found one of the 7s so far
Thanks West, but isn't that a sort of double plural? What's with that? Oh well...
hes more into woodwork and electronics stuff lol
I thought that too monkey but you know this game
kiwi sounds like the way one fo my sibliings used to be lol
Sigh.
lol
18 to go but i too tired to find them! see you all tomorrow...nighty night
yes, double plural, like Larry King" "phenome nas"
aww nite kazz
nite kaz sweet dreams
Night Kaz!
phenomenas
nice head start for tomorrow kaz

Night Kaz
hoodlums
night kaz -- well done!
night kaz
oh yea i guess yaris woudlnt work thats the name of a car lol
he sure does
Wel
maybe, monkey, but that's dubya's specialty (speciality in br4 talk)
Oops. Meant to say, Well, again sigh!
drives my husband crazy
criteria as a singular drives me crazy too
Would drive me crazy too. Call me a stickler, but I expect people who've had the benefit of an education to be able to speak their own native language. Too much to ask? Clearly. Oh well.
too tired! I'm off to bed, goodnight all
that's pretty common though
Night Flosey!
night flosey!
what education>?
"To all intensive purposes..." Aaaaargh!
comon is the right description *sniff*
Dang it i can't find the ST
We've just had a rather impressive fireworks display out on the lake :)
benefit of an education because his family name got him into good schools
common, that is
he spent the whole time drinking beer and snorting drugs
Ruru, you have a point. I just spent some time with an obscure cousin who just graduated from High Schol... doesn't know a darned thing!
well it won't take the at 5,10 to a plural lol
Ah, that too. Probably this cousin did the same... It's traditional, after all.
clue for the st 7 please begs
well, dubya got one thing right -- "Had I known..." instead of "If I would have known..." which also drives me crazy -- and all that explains why I am so crazy I guess
Someone said "the st"? I have AN st. Is it the only one?
don't have the list yet monkey
more st's
herin he
blanked in a movie
i got a list
oh fish me
the hollywood walk of fame is st7 herin

And plural

Go swimming again...

hey guys, how's it going?

westy and ruru, bring it on!!!! and over here, i'm boooorrrreeed
hmmm you could be right
Walking sticks are great for twaking idiots that dont get out of your way. Hi LInd
hi lind
where does it all come from..?
hi west
hi herin
thats why being a nudist works
we have a laundry chute so unless I go down to the basement I have no idea how much there is I have a feeling there's a lot
hiya lindy
*** ruru reminds himself not to be in herin's way in the subway
hi Just, how ya doin?
I wouldn't want to scare little children herin lol
I wear clothes but i am a neat nut and thus there is no laundry in the house.
what, laundry? my guess there a few bodies running around with a full set of gear on....
ok thx you?
good thx
no clothes.. how cheeky
Brb...
good to hear
we just got back from Maine and I hate going to the laundromat so I saved it up and now there's the rest
a friend of mine has a laundry chute. she only goes down when someone says ' i've run out of.....'
our washers and dryers go all day long and there is only two of us.. go figure
that's about it gran
there are only two of us.. sorry
8 left for tomorrow -- good night all :)
night nan
gn nan tc
Rb...
no wonder you guys have walk-in-robes. have to be big, to hold all those clothes
night nan -- just got NBT here
come on nan finish them off
night nan
There is 2 of us here and i do about 2 loads of washing a week. And then dry them out in the heated bathroom
only 8 more...
crashing, ruru
I am teasing
I am frozen at 37...
gonna get a new icon brb
I'm frozen at 80
nice to have a washing machine isn't it herin?
now the clothesline is back in fashion. I remember ads for dryers which shoed a clothespin and said "This is the mark of a drudge".
Oh yes indeed. We didn't have one for a month.
Lindy, that was a nice Canada Day icon!
I'd love to have a clothesline out doors I have lines in the basement
lol, jilli. over here we go into a sulk if we have to use the dryer. there's nothing like the smell of sunshine in the dry washing.
I never understood using a dryer
hear hear, rose -- but clotheslines have been illegal in some areas here!
thanks jilli, changed it now for todays theme
illegal??????
isn't that amazing? here too
what that is stupid
oh, gruesome, Lindy!
that falls under stupid laws 101
thanks jilli! loL
but it's changing -- and I have the perfect place to put one and hang sheets (when it's not raining, lol)
Why the heck would a line be illegal?
Back in the easter
brb, it's after 5pm somewhere in the world, and i think i could go a drink.
ooh lind I saw part of that movie once I won't watch it
Granny its nearly 5pm here
oh I love it west, I have the trilogy on dvd and what them often!
herin it's usually a condominium rule they 'spoil' the landscape
scratch that -- I was trying to say back in the eastern winters we hung out things and brought them in frozen stiff, literally
granny it is 2.19am here LOL
i think i would be saying a big upyours to that rule. Its my land
I love Anthony Hopkins in everything else but he creeps me out in that
the sign of a great actor
oh I love him in it!!
you don't own the land in a condo just the building
West just look at his eyes!!
rolls my eyes at that one. I understand in an apartment but seriously stupid
did he get the Oscar for that?
not sure but if he didn't he should have!
too many rules herin
it's difficult to pick a favorite film I have so many
Body Corporates are like that here. What sort of curtains you can have and that kind of thing. Its lame and i have lived like that
for what movie
oh oh oh oh I know brb
Waht, no "arred"??? "Ahoy, me mateys," the pirate arred.... I've been watching too much Backyardigans with Walter, haven't I?
THats causeenable spells it argh or arrgh
Aha! Thanks.
I'm back with my new icon
Ta Daa!

I too couldn't make up my mind
yawn
you watch lots of movies herin
much better than the junk that's on TV nowadays
Anyone clue the ad5? Driving me nuts since someone mentioned it.
Yes but these are films i could probably repeat by rote

well it is 2.30am here so I am off to bed!
OK!

see you all later today, night everyone xxx
Night, lindrick!

that could describe a lot of words here lol
Don't have that yet, ruru.
Have at5...
Precisely, West.
got it
Oooh! Clue?
sounds like a running shoe but has the sometimes vowel
ruru, ar + plural of egyptian sun god
a + henna is a hair **e + common greek letter is e**
ad + *y funny valentine + debbie's "**mmy"
(in ancient worship) a sacred place that the public was forbidden to enter; an inner shrine.
ph I put it in the wrong place.. had that ... I am missing the last one
Thanks, everyone!
ooops m* funny valentine
ruru change the second vowel
Caught that... oh well!

How can there be more words, though? Have 98 and see no more... better hit the list, I guess.

night ru
*** ruru dips a cone in chocolate for jilli to munch on while in PB for a while***

sa6 is when you make fun of something in a comical way
ty ruru!
Thanks!
the sa 6 /18 sounds like the desert in Africa
thanks old
yw
the other is Indian (India) food .. like a sa*** bar
The 4? 'Cause that was both the 6's I need.
Thanks all.
And howzabout the ra6 that isn't something very unusual?
ok the taxi is home for half an hour then its got to make its return journey lol
insomnia rages tonite

That tr and three da's...
which da's MG i got them all
tr6 = film "A Man Called In******" ........ Any usee Monkey?
Ummm, dunno that film I think...
goodness, lorrie -- didn't think that was a word! TY!
da 5, 5, 6 before the last da on the list
I think I was dating myself with that film! :)
first da 5 is plural of the da 4
the second da 5 take that da 4 and double the constanant
and the da 6 plural that da 5
Well, time for bed. 31 left for tomorrow if I have time (library day)
nite jilli sweet dreams
Hunting for the right da4... thank you...
its the one after the information - just change the last vowel to make the other da 4 below it
G'night jill
night Jill
OK, this is confusing because the one after the info seems to be the plural with the sometimes vowel...
Aha, no, I am missing that 4!!!!
tr6 = tr + vowel + pi4,6 - e
there are three da4/5 in a row. the first is the normal da 4 as in our babble friend, the second is the info the third change the last vowel of the info one
Thanks for that! OK, here's what seems to be happening... I need two more than I thought, this now I need 5 more. They are the da4 which I will now seek out, the 5's and 6 I will get from that, and a dr.
the second da 4,5 is "I double dog **** you"
da 4/5 another word for darn - as in darn (slang) and then plural
Have that one, but thanks. Need the third.
the other 4/5 combo is another word for work horse (ole world word)
Aha! Working on that..
sorry that should read dr 4/5 combos not da
Oh, good, but that I have. I need the dr5/16.
Need also the da4 after info, source of all this trouble...
plural the work force
da 4 after info is the same word just change the last vowel to another vowel
the work horse even
Oops, my mistake... need the other dr5.
Sorry for my scattered brain!
Shall we blame jetlag?
plural the other dr 4 lol
has anyone seen sprite?
and hello to all
Hi Jasmine
hi jasmine and no i havent sorry
Thanks for all that! Now just need the da6.... remind me how to get to it?

i am trying to find out if it was her who posted a wonderful poem i didn't write down.
ok i need help now with the br 6/27 please

I'll trade it for the da6...
It's a dog breed.
Add a consonant to the pipe.

Yes. Just need that 6 now.

Well done Monkey!

WTG Monkey
yah monkey
Thanks! Except for all my insane waffling at the end there.... sorry, folks!
And Walter sleeps on...
I'll have to sneak up there and get dressed and take the dog out before he gets up, at this rate.
again!
Monkey still not over jetlag?
I guess not. Yesterday he did seem pretty tired.
I'm only a BIT out of it now.
poor kid
How did Walter go on the plane Monkey?
Well, tired isn't the end of the world. He was happy enough.
Oh, he was great on the plkanes!
Fun MOnkey
I mean, he was still, well, three... but all things considered he was a right trooper. He was a good boy.
I brought LOTS of puzzles and toys and crafts stuff and snacks, snacks, snacks. He didn't sleep a wink until the last hour and a half of the flight home...
terrific - probably all your forethought paid off
Hello, all! Fifteen minutes of babbling...
good eve ajv happy babbling
Hi ajv
I can't claim all the credit, he is just a good boy. Except this phase he just started...
hello Lyn
Normal phase, nothing out of the ordinary, but he has discovered feeling pwerless and hating it so he's trying to see what he can take charge of in his life, and at the moment this involves a lot of doing stuff he knows he isn't supposed to and arguing with me.
Hi Accom
hi Andrew!
I can work with this... just need to find some stuff to let him talk me into, some things he can be in charge of...
Good kid you have MOnkey
He really is.
were did you go again?
Berkeley, CAlifornia. Akkk, 10 a.m. and already 25 degrees! Gonna be a scorcher. Anyway, better head up there and get the lay of the land, as it were. Have fun, everyone!
Aha, and there he is awake! Talk about perfect timing!
*Poof!*
firewords for me :)
yah groovy
Congrats Kiwi!
Well done, Kiwi
that was soooooooooooo much easier than the last monster lol
I liked that monster
Enjoy MOnkey
ok the taxi needs to leave again in 10 minutes so i will love you and leave you and see you tomorrow night
Enjoy Groovy
bye Kiwi
Fireworks it is! :)
Congrats Lorrie !!

hi Volley
Hi Volley. Thanks
yw.. how are you two?
cold and sacked out on the couch
chilly but good - at least we are getting a little rain
aww hope you are both all bundled up and cuddly. Last week we had a storm once every single day. Everything is green, flowery, and beautiful, but my bones sure didn't like the storms.
Volley i don't like storms. I either freak out or sleep through them
staire
and done
wtg
I'll take the sleep thru ... rather than the freak out!
Congrats Infernal
Hi Marigold
Ok i am going i need dinner or something
hurry back
Fireworks!
wtg
Again! Congrats AC!
not such a long one today. over 200 words and i don't have time...
morning all
the avg is 175 so we can keep you amused most days
hugs sprite!
Hi Sprite!
and congrats acoom
morning all how are you
Hi Cool
hi cool,
well i'm off. later all.
See you later Andrew
bye acoom
How was the houseboat Sprite?
not good, lynxxx. Rotten place, lots and lots of stairs on the inside. We have decided to let this one pass. Thanks for asking :)
I have never been on a houseboat... lots of folks around here go to Kentucky Lake and seem to love them... I keep thinking they would be terribly claustrophic
I just got another letter from my father, as reply to mine, btw. Different kind of letter, a little more open. So back into doubt. And in this letter he tells me my sister, who has also cut off all contact with me, has had a bad accident in dec 2006, from which she will never completely whatstheword... get better. Life sucks, doesn't it? I am a mess for not knowing what to do.
I don't think I would even fancy a holiday on one either Volley
they can be pretty spacy, Dee. More so than most normal homes here in Holland.
oh, sprite; how confusing!
is your sis younger or older? Why did she cut off contact?
it is, isn't it? I usually do such a bad job protecting myself from people that hurt me. And now I am protecting myself, and now this... I simply don't know what to do anymore. Just promised my love that I won't do anything at all about it today.
I think I would reply Sprite, but just repeating what you said in your previous letter ie that you aren't able to take on anymore at the moment. Maybe suggest that you might contact them in the future should things improve
I agree that you should think thinks through before acting impulsively ... and back yourself into an even worse situation.
things (not thinks)
Dee, she is 3 years younger. And why, I do not know. Best guess has always been that she was jealous of my kids. It is a complicated story. Her husband did not want any and she claimed that was perfect for her. But it was not. She finally divorced, remarried and got kids. But I was not allowed to know she got remarried, let alone invited.
she told my mother and some friends of mine to lie to me about it, so I learned about it afterwards, and about the lies. It was pretty painful.
I think I agree with Lynxx... but it sounds like your sister has a lot of baggage she needs to deal with (which is not your fault or even your problem)...
sounds like good advice, lynxxx
well, she will always be my sister, and I love her. I am pretty sure I will want to write to her. But just to let her know I care, and that I am here if she should ever need me. Not to force her into some reaction she is not ready for.
It would be hurtful. My sister is 13 years older than I, and often I have thought there is a genetic character flaw that she just can't seem to tell the truth... I have had to just take what she says with a grain of salt.
sounds wise sprite
aw, that is painful too. It is terrible, not being able to trust the people you love.
like, you, I love her... but I wouldn't "choose" her for a friend.
a
not easy at all, Dee *hug*
my father wrote he is sorry his other letter wasn't more inviting. I seriously think that is the first excuse I ever got from him.
Read careful;y Sprite, we love you and don't want to see you hurt or used in anyway
A friend of mine (who is also a counselor by profession) once told me to be careful not to give people "power" to hurt me. She said they can only harm us, if we relinquish that power. Once I started thinking about it, I realized how much energy and time I had wasted fretting. Totally agree with Lynxxx.
NOT read - Tread
You are blessed with amazing children, a treasure of a hubby, a great life... don't let others bring pain into that joyous home.
You have come so far, sprite. Now is not the time to allow others to cause you to back-track. Hugs!!
{{{{hugs from me too}}}}}
***tiptoes in quietly, says G'd morning Babblers!***
Hi Lori!
Hi Lori, we have saved a nice one for you today
Yea! Looks do-able list free ***she said cockily with nothing to back it up***

Congrats Volley!

well, off to check emails and take a rest. Hope you all have a great day/eve. Hugs to sprite and lynxxx. You both are so great!!!
sorry, was afk without telling you, things got messy here. Thanks for your words! They really help me. Whatever I decide, I will keep on protecting me and mine from needless hurts. And thanks for the hugs too, they help a lot as well.
Have a good one Volley
hi Lori
bye Volley

that is great, lickety. Let her take her time, but it is wonderful, for you and the kids to have her home, and for her to be home.
hi lickety, give her my love
No montreal. It was a chemical term.

Morning all...hey lickety! Thank you for the update and all our love to mrp, you and the family!

hey Andree, not a lot, shit keeps happening here. Could your truck deliver today?
sorry to hear that ((sprite)) - me, i am better, tx !
I am glad, montreal! Now take care of yourself ok?
it did a full days work no mechanical damage and no crane damage, doesn't even look too bad at first glance as most of the damage is on the roof
I am so glad for you, Andree! It was about time some luck came your way.
hi Angel - np - needed some numbers from the st*** - and it's a pleasure anyway !

I will, montreal! Lynxxx and Dee helped me realise that my first duty is to myself, my love and our kids. And that I should not allow anyone to hurt us. So that is a good st5.
My foster bunny, Bijou, is running around like a little nut, unaware that tomorrow is spaying day.
will you be able to keep her Scrabs. I know you have become attached to her
at : connected ta: later, more slow/late

The family will be purchasing a home soon and then it is their decision. I will of course let them know that Bijou is a happy free-range house rabbit now so that return to a cage would be cruel.

Hello for a little moment!

37 left here but i am fading fast, very ti*** tonight
you''ve had quite the couple of days, not strange you are ti5 :)
you have not been having the best of times youself
no, I haven't. Even my therapist said it was ridiculous, all the stuff that keeps happening in my life. But I will survive. I always do. Not much good at giving in, am I ;)
no point in giving in sprite but you need to be kind to youself
so true, Andree, thanks. That is a balance I am working on. I have been so mean to myself without ever knowing it. Must learn to do things differently, which is easier said than done. But I am learning.
oh finally, thunder! It's like wearing a humid blanket all day here, hope it gets better now.
balance, a good word, hard to find sometimes
isn't it just :) But as long as we learn, things are bound to get better.
so true sprite

hope you have an enjoyable time off then eva
yes - enjoy!!
I just need SLEEP!!!
i hope to! the BF + some friends + i are headed to Busch Gardens, amusement park. its supposed to rain, but hopefully not a whole lot!
how nice - do they do fireworks?
they DO!
which Busch?
hopefully the rain will hold off for you to have a great time...i love amusement parks
Busch Gardens Europe, in VA
Humidity is low today here in NC - so it would be a good day for it
(i never knew until recently that there WAS another one!)
aren't you sleeping well lex?
no 3 hours each for last 3 nights - I think my headache is gone now - but still not sleeping...tonight....DRUGS!!!
there used to be one in CA too
ooh, trying to sleep with a headache is the WORST! and even if you DO manage to fall asleep, it doesnt go away -- you still wake up with a worse headache than you fell asleep with!
sorry to hear that lex....do you suffer from migraines?
that's my week...
hopefully you'll get a better nights sleep tonight
I used to...seems weird - my body picks a outlet - either stomach or head... haven't had a migraine in years...this one was borderline - mild nausea and noise and light sensitivity
drugs are most definitely in order
I'm off work at noon - summer school - so maybe a nap
i use to suffer with migraines really badly but as i've got older i now get 1 a year
but...I emptied one of my attic spaces into the house - basically the attic vomitted - so I need to get that in hand
my house is still all over the place as our building work hasn't finished yet so i know what you mean
maybe an allergy headache - oh and now I can tell it's back
trying to find words won't help, why don't you go and have a lie down
it's seems so weird/hypocondriacist to not know for sure if the headache is gone!
I am "working" running computer lab for summer school
have you got kids in now?
perhaps its eye strain?
no kids right not
could be
gtg - bbl - doing a favor for Mr. Lex
take care lex...bye
yes, watching the monitor is never good for headaches...
fireworks!!
yay for lilliann!!!
Good morning everyone! Congrats, {{Lilliann}}

hello
could someone clue the lone n and lone o?
na 4/5 harp
The O is a soundalike to the furry water creature in the mink family
thanks dr and scarlet
YW
YVW Harp
O sounds like a frolicking water mammal but with different 2nd vowel
oops - that was late
:-)
thanks anyway scarlet!
this one is fun, especially after the last two days of purgatory...
YEs, Harp.. it isnt too bad
I had fun with the last two days and it worked well with stints in the garden, then sit for awhile, back and forth.
i'm too obsessed with finishing to ENJOY the big grids, somedays I just don't start them at all
yesterday my real life got out of hand and i started but didn't have time to finish
poor me
I am sorry Harp..this is where I come so I can escape from out of hand life
I used to be obsessed too, harp, and then I had to take a breather of necessity with family situations... and was amazed that I lived without Babble for seven weeks... it was telling... so, I learned to do things differently, but I agree with DR... it's a great respite from "crappola".
Well... off to work...
i seem to keep coming back so don't feel too sorry for me
see you both later...
LOL, harp.
i gave it up for Lent once
Later, harp.
I mean, DR... see? I'm goofy already... LOL
Just returned from shopping and I see Miss {{{Scarlet}}}
{{{ANNIE}}} How are you dear friend?
Warm...but fine...how is Rhett?
Beloved is doing wonderfully well, Annie. Thank you for asking. It
's as though he never had surgery at all! How are you and Bobby and Liz and family?
I bet Bobby is fit to be tied to see the Mets' meltdown this year... at least your NYY are trying really hard to find their groove>
Glad to hear that is over. We are all going to a pool party in New Jersey to celebrate the 4th so I will get to see Liz and family
Nice, Annie... Is this the one where there are loads of children running around and the food is great?
The Mets meltdown is not making Bobby too happy and now he pumps his hand in the air when the Yanks lose
LOL... sounds like me...
Yes, that is the pool party. My grandkids are going to the Cyclone baseball camp (Mets minor league team) in Coney Island so they will be here for 4 days. I cant wait.
ta7?
Did you do any container gardening this year, Annie?
Later, harp
Scarlet, I am ashamed to say no
hm,,, thinking....
If you are late for class, you are marked as TA***, and if you are later than late, you are TA*****
thanks
Oh, Annie... you do what you can do. The news about the grands going to baseball camp is just terrific! Oh, the stories they will tell~
YW
hello everyone
Good morning, ardilla.
good morning everyone
Good morning, flosey!
at7?
hello Babblers
good morning pab
good morning pab
No there yet, harp. Hi, Pabacita!
oops, must change my icon
hi pab
at7 - fully clothed
It's the past tense of the 6/18, harp... AT + rubber car thingies
at 6 and 7 - having clothes on...and past tense
ty for at6/7
See how bright I am today? Thingies vs whatchamacallits... very technical.
thanks
Hello Babbleland.
good morning Bea
Hi, Bzzzzzzzzzzz.
hi bzzzz - speaking of which, I need to get some coffee - BRB
LOL, kje
I see everyone survived the Moby grid of yesterday and are back for more.
i quitted the monster
limping but, when a horse bucks you off, you should get back on, right, bzz?
That's right, harp.
hi harp & bzzn
TY for getting that scarlet : )
It was a fun 'un, Bea.
**giggle**
I enjoyed it, Scarlett.
br6/27 anyone?
So did I, Bea... I had said earlier that I sat at the grid for a bit, did gardening, back and forth... fun
it wasn't actually as heinous as the day before... more real words... but those long ones suck up major time
br 5/14 and a cons
Hair plait, harp
With the vowels switched around
That's what I did to, Scarlet.
thnanks
ty scar
Oh, yuou are right, kje... the day before just threw random letters together and called them words... it was a bald day on that little doozey...
You're welcome, ardilla.
Bea, do you keep in touch with your home state? As in, what is happening with the Chiefs? (In between all the great things I read in your bio.)
last ti 5/10?
I'm not a football fan, Scarlet.
Brit spelling of a type of blood test, kje.
I only keep up with KU basketball.
How is the renovation project coming along, Bea?
tya scar
which I presume means useless vowels included ; )?
Slow. Can't do much until we sell the monster house we left.
LOL... just switch the last two letters from the Americanized spelling...
oh...tes...that is not a useless vowel one - TY
OH, isn't that a stickler, Bea...the market is a nightmare.
It is.
YW
hello all
But before we decided to do this, the market was fine, gas prices were "low"...It's all my fault!
hi peri
Top of the day to you, Your Pe**-ness!
No, Bea... it's FMitch's fault...
Hello, Pe**.
I know that I am in the grid again today :-)
Oh? Someone else to blame?
And pluralized too, PE!
how did that get started? we were guessing haz started it, but we don't know - scrab blamed the bad board in our scrabulous game on FMitch the other day
hi pe**
so I see, Scarlet :-)
Oh, Bzzzz.... the rules are that we blame FMitch for EVERYTHING since Eve picked the apple in the Garden of Eden!~!~
poor FM gets blamed for everything but she seems to take in all in stride
It just evolved... I think it was a dual-edged sword from both Atalante and Haz... so, poor FM wears the hair shirt... LOL
ya5/16 anyone?
I'm so relieved. It wasn't my fault!
need help with top A, have insects and scent
me and haz :P
ATA!! LOL
ab4/6 and plural
Yes, now you have it, Bzzz!!
see we knew it was you two up to no good
good time to come back!
hi winkle
thanks kje, new words for me
me too - yw
well, top row is at least all gray
lovely day here
I'd take the blame for everything, as we did this move so we could be closer to the grandson.
I just burned the pancakes now the house smells
harp, what we breathe is in the middle of the ya5
blame fm
Likewise here, Ms. Philadelphia... NO, Bzzz... you have to hand it off on FMitch! Get in the habit early so it will be second nature in no time.! :-)
It's my fault, kje!
thanks peri
no, it is FMitch's fault
NONNONONO, Bzz... F*M*i*t*C*H!!
picking an icon took longer than expected, so many movies are my favorite
Okay, it's FMitch's fault.
Hi, pabacita... I guess that today is favorite movie day?
LOLOLO>.. Now you have it, Bzzz!!
what!??!? Star Wars over your namesake Trek movies?????
I did Star Trek for favorite tv show, had to be fair :)
well.... Ok then, thought the earth was spinning off its axis there for a sec
hi Scarlet, how is your beloved doing?
He's at the top of his game now, pab.. thank you for asking. How are you and yours doing?
I changed my icon too :)
all are fighting colds, my folks have really bad colds, maybe pneumonia, on antibiotics right now
Scarlet, my hub had prostate cancer last year. I know of the worry.
I am laughing hard now... I just saw Bab's icon and it's one of my all-time idiot movies: Zoolander... the icon has four of "The Looks"... LOL
I am stuck with 61 left and don't want to go to list yet, will sit out on balcony for a while, bbs
glad to hear he's doing well Scarlet
Oh, gosh, pab... that sounds very serious.
hello :)
Bzzz... my husband went through that in 2005-06, and the radiation was intense... eight weeks' worth...
liiiiiiiiiiiz
not as bad as it sounds, Scarlet, doctors didn't keep them
Hi, Liz!!
Hub opted for removal.
Atttttttttta LOL
hi Liz
hey bzzz (was just reading your profile) your daughter spells her name like I do
Ata... who is that beautiful man... if that is the dark side, I'd better visit it more often~ LOL
Hi Scarlet, Pab, Peri, kj, everyone
Isn't that the only way to spell it, kje?
LOL that's Anakin from Revenge of the Sith. He's pretty
well, I think so, but all the people who spell it katherine...and catherine.... and, etc
they do not agree
I like the previous icon better - who was that?
Well, they are wrong.
they like that e... so sometimes I get katheryn
that was Captain Jack from Torchwood :)
Hey, Liz.
are the ar's hard or am I just lacking in caffeine?
LOL is it? I thought it looked like him but I couldn't see it so small
And there are so many ways to spell Caitlin.
Wowzers, Ata... the Dr. Who family is certainly getting nicer looking!
oh yes, it was him :D
:-)
Now, is it favorite movie or TV icon day? I am soooo confused.
Movie day, Sacrlet.
radio 2 just said that the average adult with internet access will spend over 5% of the rest of their life online
movie, Scarlet
movie
I reckon mine will be way more that 5% LOL
Okie dokie... thanks, pab and kje... off to Google
wow - then I am above average : )
Babblers will spend three times that, liz.
ditto here
lol Bea
I went cold turkey over the weekend :(
how's your daughter, liz?
she's on the mend now thank you, still not right but we're getting there
oh thats good!
yep - Ossie's not well now instead *rolls eyes*
lol brat dog!
I am in awe Liz, you went cold turkey over the weekend? Where do you get such strength? :)
he has such a terrible reputation!
Any update on the Babbler's granddaughter that was hit by a car?
what's wromg with him now??
I think that was phaeton, Bea
LOL Pab I didn't have any strength! I was at the hospital looking after my 2 year old daughter! I did update my facebook status through my mobile phone though ;-)
And, Bea, thanks for the movie info...
I think his repaired cruciate ligament may have gone again
Bea who was that?
oh no! poor oscar!
phaeton
hello everyone! how many words today?
I think the child's name was Emily and she was hit by a car somewhere in Japan... phaeton asked for prayers.
154.
Hi, Sean...154
we have a vets appointment next wednesday Ata
oh dear Scarlet that does not sound good :(
br 6/27?
I havent' seen Phaeton to ask about the child, Liz... it's scary.
I am worried that her lack of being here is not a good sign....
BR= a hair plait with the vowels switched around
:(
add a cons. to the br5 before it and make a dog breed, kje
TY pab
yw
I believe phaeton went to Japan..her granddaughter fractured her skull as a result of the car accident
ty for that one pab
briar
omg sorry sorry sorry
Oh, Annie... I didn't know that phaeton flew over there... she's in the best place for a terrified grandmother.
Yes, she asked for our prayers....she is 10 years old and her name is Emily
Awful...
hi liz
turtle's still sick
got to talk to the vet tomorrow
sorry to hear that, ardilla
hi ardilla, hope the vet can help your little girl turtle
ty
Ardilla, how can you tell if your turtle is sick? I don't know anything about them other than what you have shared.
i
Igotta go.... have fun all... keeping Emily in my thoughts
Later, Liz! Be well.
bye Liz
and Megan in ours!
she's not eating and her eyes are swollen shut
bye liz
Sorry. Had to walk a doggie.
Oh, that's a sure sign of something... do you know what it could be, ardilla?
could she be allergic to something, ardilla
AHA! I've finally seen a real pic of DrG!
WHERE?
Thank's for the update on phaeton.
could be the water, food, or an infection
Oh, Bzzz... is there anything worse than a sick or ailing child?
facebook!
Gosh, ardilla... how old is she and what type of turtle is she?
but i'm not sure that the vet here deals with reptiles but i'm going to try
Afternoon all
OH, Ata, I will look in a little while... is he listed as Jamie?
No, there isn't, Scarlet.

LOL no ruru it is only afternoon here
Hey, ruru.
Good morning, ruru.
I was having breakfast when I clued this morning
is it me or are some of the words in our latest grids getting more difficult?
I've certainly found the last few grids rather hard
`and good morning everyone

Toothpaste
paper towells
potatoes
Toilet paper
Paper towels
Toilet tissue
Petfood

Shampoo

Lots.
thanks FM - still don't believe it is correct, sorry
lex.. pick up a few packages of Lindt Truffles while you are there...
what are water noodles or should there be a comma inbetween?
Where, Bzzzzzzzzzz?
:) @ flosey
okay scarlet - for the pb??
No, lex... for me....Bwwwwaaaaahhhhhh.
water noodles are long cylindrical foam used to float around on
Water noodles are long foam things you use to float in the water.
lex, get the peanut butter truffles, I'll make a point of putting myself in the pb
To the beach, Scarlet.
oooo didn't know that, sounds fun
What beach, Bzzz?
LOL, flosey...you're as bad as I am... just a brat about Lindt anything...LOL
Atlantic BEach on the Crystal Coast of NC.
"Atalanted ra5 in the race for fireworks". Think that works
Grandson's first time.
**so lost she tries both peanut and butter before understanding**
Nice, Bzzzz... that should be fun... LOL, lex... you need a rest.
Hey I was at wrightsville beach this summer
I didn't know they were called water noodles
good try Ata
yes - still headachy and tired from no sleep nights
Crystal Coast is much better, lex. Not as dirty and less "kids".
Well, ruru, that's what I call them. not sure that is the "true" name.
One daughter teaches VBS in Ohio and made an atom of water noodles to demonstrate some point about molecules... I dont' know what they teach there, but it's interesting...
we were doing orientation for my daughter at Wilmington so - it was THE choice
probably ions
Is she getting a PHD in Water Noodling?
Lex...are you coming down with something? LOL, ruru...
Wow! Scarlet. I thought all they taught at VBS was churchy things.
whats VBS?
LOL, Bzzzz...it's related to God's great universe or such...
Vacation Bible School
where in ohio?
Water noodles are God's gift to mankind?
ah ty
if I am than - I HAVE it
Copley, Ohio, Sean
water noodles and gin
You Babblers have an extremely skewed attitude... I LOVE it...LOL
hmm... not familiar with copley... i'm in columbus
ata THAT would be dangerous
Lex...that headache... no sleep... you sound so tired...
Get rum instead and we can have Mojitos.
re5.14 help please altho I expect I will kick myself..........!
can you actually HEAR me...?
Copley is due south of Cleveland near Akron*Akron*Akron...(that silly bridge)
ok rum, then
Yes I can, lex...
scarlet add to it that I emptied one of my attic spaces last night - so my house has been vomitted on by the attic
brandy and hot chocolate would be nice
that sounds good fm
ata - that would be so much better
A bit cold, FMitch?
Oh lex, that is a great description!
going from 58 - 88 today - I feel like a west coaster again
Bit damp and cool here Bea
Deeha...what you would do to a cherry in chocolate twice
At/7 dressed up

I HATE THE BLOODY F@#$%$#!!!! IRS!!!!!!
sorry for shouting that was just the icing on a crappy news day.....
next to insurance companies, tax agencies are the worst
I've come to believe the IRS exists for the sole purpose of mentally torturing the american taxpayers!
and sadly my sister works for them
any clues for the er6 & 7 pair please? my brain is nearing meltdown....
ahh, you have the inside scoop on how bad they are...
what did they do to you pug?
Morning. Uh oh, pubmama. Sounds like audit problemos.
I filed in march just so I could get the stimulus check (I'm on soc. sec.) and filed for direct deposit which I should have gotten in mid- May!
*pugmama* Sorry about that.
and... you haven't gotten it
Yes, you should have! Well, if anyone can screw something up, it's the IRS.
pug, you still looking for the er 6 and 7?
er 6 starts with a word meaning to make a mistake, then goes on to pro ra**. 7 is the plural of 6, even though 6 is sort of a plural already
The web site never gave me any info & I could never reach a real person after hours of getting bounced through voice menus
We filed in February and just got our check Monday this week. So, maybe it's taking a bit longer.
i wonder if they are doing it regionally...
they distribute based on your social security number.
still not getting it sorry
i got a letter telling me when to expect it. didn't you get a letter with a time span so you'd know when to consider it lost or late?
anyway now they are saying I don't qualify , which I DO
pug, ER + an ugly mouse + a word use in a simile
everybody qualifies, i thought. i thought that was the whole point.
that's the ER7, take off the last letter for the ER6
They are distributing on the basis of the last 3 or 4 numbers of your social security no. www.irs.gov has information under "stimulus paymens". It takes a few clicks, but there is a chart there for estimated payment dates, based on when you filed.
anybody help with the y words? I have the one related to sailing, the unit of measure, and the plural hebrew letter, but what are the other two??
hursh, you have to earn under a certain amount to qualify
so after another hour or so of voice menus etc I get a real person that tells me my form had an essential line left blank & I have to refile
clearly someone on social security qualifies, though, then.
yes, clearly
ty finally got em
i wonder...
which will mean another 3-4 months of waiting for a check
what do you wonder, hursh?
Oh, those bastards. That' stupid. They should fast track you now though, especially since you are on social security.
AND I don't know how it's even possible as my copy from H&R Block IS filled in & the computer just spits out 2 copies!
my mom helps people that she knows with their taxes... she does this for free... just cause, she's good at it... i wonder how many other people there are like that, and whether they could unite and form a website where you could get help for like $5 instead of a lot like accountants charge.
oh, except pug USED h&r block, so there goes that idea
I've used the same lady at H& R for years & she charges me VERY little because she knows I can't afford it
you don't need an accountant, just a tax preparer, but that person, if s/he signs the bottom of your form, is willing to represent you if you get audited, and that's a lot to do for $5
there is a volunteer tax prep service, called VITA, and AARP also has one called Tax-Aide. But Pug's problem sounds like some idiot at the IRS is just being a bureaucrat. The tax stimulus return was so incredibly simple it's hard to imagine anyone could mess it up.
the federal government can screw up ANYTHING!!!
can you have your lady at H&R help you with this problem - call them on your behalf and tell them it is NOT missing and to send you the check pronto?
if the H&R person didn't see that you (or she) missed a crucial line on the form, then it seems they should upfront you the refund until you get it
they already offer to loan people their refunds when they file
I left a voice mail for her to call me ASAP but they are only in office TUESDAYS this time of year
which was yesterday :(
One day a week?! Nice hours. Where can I get a job like that?
it doesn't make sense that MY copy has it filled in!?!
easy to get a job like that. they don't get paid when they aren't there.
that IS weird, pug
hey, look on the bright side. we babble in a world in which de5/12 is a word.
all this BS right after a call to my DA during which he informed me his doctors beleive he has Alzheimers...
ooops DAD
Good lord, pugmama. Stop answering your phone!
ah... i was surprised you were talking to your district attorney
and I feel utterly powerless to help him as he lives in TN
Does your dad live alone?
"believe" sounds like they don't know for sure... maybe it will turn out not...
He most certainly should go for a 2nd opinion about that, pugm.
no but his wife is 5 years his senior & he will be 80 in Oct
my sister lives an hour & 1/2 away but just lost her hubby suddenly * is very overwhelmed herself
Perhaps there is a VA or elder care advocacy group near him that can assist him with how to proceed.
he has gotten every test & opinion known to man , he is a retired MD himself
very sad... I'm so sorry. Check eldercare.gov for aging services agencies near him (I work for one in NC) -- they may have referrals for him
he is working on deciding what to do as far as moving / future care & he will no doubt transfer power of attorney to my sister. He is very anal about such details.
My dad was the same way. Turned out to be a good thing. He really did plan for any situation. Made my step mom's life a whole lot easier after he was gone.
i'm guessing this is an inappropriate time to play name that proper noun!, then
I'm pretty sure there are such services he can tap through the military as he served in the Navy & Army
got to get back to work now -- sending comforting thoughts your way, pugmama. Poof!
OOOOhhh TY Fuq
TY all for letting me ventillate.....
we all do it pug
i did it just last night, among numerous other times
we may not know what to say in a hard situation but we know it helps just to talk about it
maybe later I'll drink the 6-pack in the fridge, get drunk & just have a good cry.... ( very Life Time Channel, I know)
i'd go brownies instead of drunk, personally...
If I do that I'll be buying my dresses from Omar the tent maker Hursh!
ah
i just would rather die quickly of a heart attack than slowly of cirrhosis i guess
it would be a rare indulgence as I almost never drink....
well pug, whatever you do...
if anything gets me it will be the nicotine ! my only true addiction besides coffee & word games!
i know that this will be a hard thing and take time to cope with...
Well, here's a bit of good news. One of our police officers just made a drug bust. Recovered 25 lbs. of marijuana. The dumb-dumb dealer had it FEDX'd to his own house. DUH.
Street value of at least $15,000.
but i do hope that eventually, you will find peace about this.
OMG!!! what a MORON!!!
ty hursh and we all make peace eventually. what choice do we have?
oh judi, one of the students, the first year we were at the boarding school, had a whooooole slew of something - worse than marijuana but i forget which drug - sent to himself at the school, and THEN
Hilarious, really. The drug dog sniffed it out at the FEDX terminal. Agents arranged to have it delivered as per routine.
he wasn't at the school to pick it up and he had someone else pick it up
who then showed it to lots of other kids
some of whom finally told the administration
Let's face it, drug dealers/users are not the brightest people on the planet.
what choice do we have? well, we can live in a perpetual state of anxiety and/or depression
not that anyone would choose that
just, if they weren't able to get peace
well, i'm going to go now
thanks for being a sounding board Hursh (big hug!)
Tata, Hursh.
so judi did I chase everyone out of the chog?
{{Hugs to Pugster}} So sorry dear... you're up to your hips in alligators.
TY dear (hugs) to you too
I'm sure others are lurking, pugm.
yea I'm often one of them!
I just came back from a pile of pancakes to finish this little ditty, and read your onslaught, pug... when it pours it pours.
only 5 to go & I've spent the last 1/2 hour raving!
If this be the stuff of live... rave on! ;-)
*life*
very poetic scarlet
Here here. Do rave amuk.
Good day to you all. :-)
A rose is a rose is a pug.
cheerfully perky here, not raving yet...
Hi, artlady...how was your 30th anniversary dinner last night?
Very nice! Dragged hubby out to a nice Italian restaurant.
care to help me finish? de6/21 please?
pug, to get rid of vermin
Which one? The first is the pl. of to take away rodents...
The second one is to take away the bright lights of the sun

YW, pug.

hello everyone, back for my last 24
Hi, Sean!
hi sean
just starting, here!
That's moi, pug... silly and not giving a hoot! ;_)
Seriously, art.. .this one is fairly easy if you just let your monkies run wild...
ooo just monkeyed a weird one...
So far just working across the grid...but I DO love those monkeys. They came in really handy yesterday!
See? The monkies triumph again!
Sigh. My monkies only seem to want to fling poo.
I used to let logic interfere with even trying a word that I dismissed as impossible. I learned.
hello everyone
hi ice
Hi, ice!
Ice ice baby.
ra6/18 please?? I've come back to this one many times with no luck..
hi ice!
Like your icon, ice!
Wicker like furniture, pugm.

Big mouse + sun coloring on the skin
oh, wait

yeah, i was looking at an ri
is the movie icon showing or yesterdays yin yang still?
:-)
ty can't believe it was a FISH!!!!!
Movie
I'm so blind!
good deal
I was told that today was favorite movie icon day... ****incoming trout at puggie's head***
say "what" again!
oh yea trout for dinner!
I used to do new icons when they first started this...but it took too much time!
thanks scarlet!
:-) You needed it dear! ;)
Now you get me profile, 3/4 or full face. That's it.
if one pops in my head for the icon, I do it. otherwise I do one of a couple yin yang pics
I just go to google images and go hunting...it's really fast and easy
I just stick to photo s of the fur kids it's easier
Yes, but I always had to go and customize them...it's the art part of me...
I like quirky interpretations of the theme... one day it was dominoes and I put up a pic of Gladys Knight...
Ok, speaking of pics...I can't get my flickr photos to show up here. Any suggestions?
lol Scarlet!
I am totally dumb on Flikr...
you're a lovable nut scarlet!
sorry art I'm "little Lois Low-Tech!"
I did Tay Zonday for favorite singer as a joke, but I guess Im not clever enough for true quirky
**Taking a very ladylike bow** **And falling right on my face** (Hey, that's an improvement)
artlady - in your babble profile have you entered (and saved) your flickr ID/name?
Let me try that, FM...thanks!
I may be IT, but I havent done anything on flickr so...
I probably should since I cant get on myspace at work
ad5/16 please?
Hello again, FM... did you like your pancakes?
Thanks, FM!! That did it!
AD+ sometimes vowel+ British 'thank you'

Large mouse + skin color from the sun
Glad that worked artlady

Wonderful, FM!

Just as I had described to you, kat... and the beat goes on as I hunt and peck...
clue for the sa 6/18 after the item of clothing sa 4/4, please
When I saw you, I completely forgot about digging dirt, kat... Isn't that a heartening piece of news??
I was THINKINg about that... any chance of freelancing?...doing a local column..ur hip..ur with the times...
SA + mansion in Gone With The Wind
wine?...what wine needs to be filtered and racked..there no wine in back of my store...
I had investigated those venues, kattie, but they are all filled up with wannabes...
thx scarlet... what an appropriate clue for you to give lol
( am SO NOT doing the grid... )
submit some current stuffs... u never know who might read it
The grid is fairly easy kat... how long do you have to be in the store today...?
LOL, icepyro...
go out an cover a few things...and submit...
am here until 6
That's not too bad... I am waiting to hear from you about the "intervention"... that is interesting, kattie..
it was not quite so dramatic as it all sounds... a simple...am sick of this..I don't..u do..I don't...really..ask the neighbours...ok..lets go..we did..and the neighbours told the truth
I have some resumes and aps in the works, or submitted... this is an odd area for writers... if you don't speak southern-like, you're the great outsider, but I'll get something yet!
Wow... and he believed them over you? Men are such rockheads about some things... (pot calling kettle black)
are you a carpetbagger scarlet? ;P
Hi all....I know how to speak southern....do you need some coaching??
LOL.... Yes I am, ice... originally from Texas, moved all over the planet, settled up East for 30 years and then moved to Asheville...which I love... Chiley is a native. Yes, Chiley... help me, please.
i was thinking more in line with...do a few noteworthy items... and submit to some smaller fringe paper....no resume..just submit the article... maybe along line of... a bi weekly column....
Im from Georgia and while my accent has faded, if you give me enough booze or make me angry it really comes out
thanks for the sa clue, scarlet. how appropriate that you should clue it like that!
**giggling crazily now, eieios**
florida doesnt count in the south... and texas would not make you a carpetbagger.. so *shrug* ;)
Just been on the phone with a dear friend in Huston
There is a great publication here called the MountainXpress... very cutting edge, very funky
i was racking wine.... and that thought just... came to me...
so....just send them stuff... be an annoyin glittle pest..until they take notice :p
howdy folks
lol
It's a touchy market now, kattie... newspapers are out of my blood after too many decades of working for them... I need something new... maybe human services... LOL, kat...

Just getting back into playing again, after being away for awhile
I'm rarely here myself.... and am actually babbling even less often then that
Oh yes, kattie... I need a change... just a little something to contribute to society and put some ice cream money in my pocket...
just lots of y'all and didja eat yet phrases
LOLOLO< chiley... you're a hoot
Yes, but we don't have a word that works as well as y'all up here in the north!
It's didja et yet.
naw, dyunto?
And don't forget to cut on the lights when it gets dark.
almost sounds like canajiun eh?
It took me a long time to figure out that AWL is canola...
In Penna, it's "Jeet yet?"
kat... maybe... except much slower and more filled with ah then eh
And remember to say "I'm fixin to go out for a while"
If you need, I'll carry you to the PigglyWiggly.
Oh, you are saving my life, chiley... LOL...
for a while or a spell?
Ya gotta SIT A SPELL
actually for a "bit" is best
Huh? 'yaaar' isn't in the dictionary? Around here, pirates say it all the time. Am I spelling it wrong?
ima a fixin to go out fora spell?
But don't forget you pocketbook cuz I won't be payin' for them there groceries.
You betcha!
if its just for a drive or wandering, then its "go loafin for a bit"
there or thar?

this sounds like minnesotan-speak
**F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S**
if it was further into deep south, you end any vowel ending words with r...
uh huh....so I do be talkin' like a south ner afta alll

Congrats, Lin

clue for the tr 6/24, please?
I heard a gal on the phone the other day say, "What he said?'
thanks guys, I really enjoyed this grid!
or sometimes they put your stuff in a poke...just depends on the cashier
I was looked at as though I had a third eye when I first asked, "Where is the closest MAC machine?"
Hey, Lind.
naw, ya put yur groceries in a poke
LOL..is a poke a sack?
BBL to chat & clue!
yep same thing
hi & bye bea!
MAC machine?
And when folks want you to repeat a sentence, it's "Say what now?"
I thought pokes were just for pigs
A MAC is a money access computer, better known as an ATM
Ah, never heard it called a MAC.
don't you mean ATM machine?
;)
oh no hunnnnny.....pokes can hold all kinds of things
sheesh youve been too many places scarlet...
TR6/24 is TR + vowel + I'm with stu***

not much of a wine person outside drinking ;-)

hi katie
Hi ice :-)
Just got in from work so having a destress!
i always liked the " i came to swap howdies with y'all?"
Last year someone asked my husband's name. I said "Jim." The man said, "Say what?" I repeated it. The man said, "Oh, Jee-yum!"
Hi, Katie... here's some distress remover.
( well..u did mention beloeved was rather tasty red ;o) )
gotta learn to drawl out short words like that so we can hears ya plain
Hahhahha, kat...
lol, scarlet -- did it sound like he was correcting you on the pronunciation?
yeah, so what's the problem Scarlet? Sounds riiight to me
lol scarlet
do6/24 hint?
( Passing squishy hug on to beloved )
Exactly, Tak... dumbo northerner... LOL, chiley.. I'm a-larnin'.
now having to get the cats to sit in different corners of the bay window......might go back to work!
my kids still make fun of me for saying frawg and dawg
lol
how do you say yellow pillow chiley?
Oh, ARG. Last word. Need a clue for the tr6/24, please.
Mari says film like Fillum always makes us laugh
so..how many things can u get chicken fried... last nite at fireworks there was a booth for chicken friend mars bar...I just about lost my dinner at the thought )
I sound more like New Jersey or New York with dawg and coffee...
i haven't got a clue what I sound like...
TR + vowel + teeshirt with thumb pointing to the right side: "I'm with stu***."
oops chicken FRIED *
I say yellow pillow correctly....I'm just guilty of a bit of drawl that sometimes adds an extra syllable or two
Fried mars bars were quite common over here a few years ago
its country fried. calling something chicken fried is nonsouthern in my experience
Ty! Fireworks!!
ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Yerch, kat. Yahoo for Judi!!!@@
<POMPOM TOSS> for judi
Lol i thought the st*** was Stuart, no wonder I couldn't get the word!
Pondering chicken fried anything. Yech.
congrats Judi
*tosses chicken fried fish to Katie*
Time for me to go educate some youth. Good luck all. Nice to see you again
ugh..and "country" fried pickles... BLECK
In Scotland in the chip shops they serve fried Pizza and pies, really not sure about that
Chiley... I had to pay attention to the local anchors on TV... with them saying Rufthetin... it took a long time to figure out that they were talking about Rutherforton.
believe it or not, southerns done figured out that saying chicken fried is silly cuz then you end up with chicken fried chicken and thats just plain redundant
bye sato
Later, Takuma... nice seeing you.
and fried pickles are fantastic, ck.
fried pizza is like a fried calzone..and they are pretty good..no batter..just flip the pizza inside out into a football ( american rules football that is ) and fry
sa6/18 and ri6/21?
No they just fry slices of pizza :-)
fried green materz... mmmm
Actually when I was growing up most people said RULLUFTON
yeesh...that disgusting...
SA + mansion in Gone With The Wind
I thought u were referring to ruffians... hehehe
Dear lord. No wonder we Americans are so overweight. Nothing is safe from the fryer.
LOL, chiley.. I"d NEVER FIGURE that one out...
ty scarlet
I dunno, I think its how much we eat and not what we eat that makes us mostly overweight
well Rutherfordton is just TOO long....you have to take some shortcuts.
although..here in canada... the name toronto....we say toron-no
Ri 6/21 Re+ dancers' wear on their legs, Leo****
You're welcome, Lance.
I remember the mars bars because Mari was in menu development for school meals and someone asked how much to charge for it.......she suggested taht they didn't serve it
I meant Ri not Re
Well, I'm off to have my healthy afternoon protein shake. Sugar/Fat and fried free. Flavor is something left to be desired, but such is life.
i'm munching on kettle corn :D
sounds terrible Judi....but enjoy it nevertheless
ty again

Oh, Carlee! Step away! Step away!
I hear folks talking about one of my favorite TV shows, but they say, "LawnDorder"
its left over from last nite's fireworks for canada day..I only get it 1ce a year
Yahoo for Sean@@@

its a slightly sweet..slightly salty popcorn
S'like carmel corn, Katie. Only made in a big kettle.

Daughters love it, kat.

Ahhh, I like the sweet one :-)
not like carmel corn....barely sweet..barely salty...
LOL, chiley... you are cracking me up!
big surprise red..how is penguin doing?
The Penguin is so gorgeous, so smart... such a thief... she has stolen my heart ... what a darling.
Congratulatons, Sean!!!@@@

BA + cake or *ie, plural

I am accordign to her...supposed to be with her taking a nap on my bed every afternoon
Found it!
Yahoo for Lance!!!@@@
( scarlet's grandkitten)
Katie, Penguin is my daughter's Norwegian Forest cat and I adore the lilttle furball...
Great Kenny!
ahhhhh, better not tell hubby he is all for getting another kitten, I'm standing firm, 3 cats is more than enough
any clues needed before i go?
carlee, you should know that she owns you and if she wants a na* with you it is the least you can do!
1-husband; 3-daughters; 4-grandchildren/3 girls & a boy; 1-ancient cat; and 1-grandkittie.
i have 3 as well..but...I will never get any other cat unless has norwegian forest cat in them...does not need be pure bred...but must have weggie in them
Kat, her whiskers are the longest I've ever seen on a cat... a domesticated one, that is...
*Pops head up* I had never come across Norewgian F.C until Babble and now I am totally smitten by them
not sure she owns me... but we joined at the hip..she comes when called..like a dog
Fuggy is still hanging in there but when he goes i'm not replacing him until after our holiday at Christmas. I want a chinchilla but will probably get another hamster :-)
FM... once you are around one, you'll not look at another cat...ever!
chinchillas are fun....
I don't know. There's always the cat of glory to be taken into account.
Crumble is the clingy one of our three, if I go away with work she misses me more than hubby does
LOL Haz
Where N.F.Cs are concerned I bite my thumb at the CoG
Well, I mean to say. There are cats and there are cats.
not the CoG?
Although the NFC was probably the original CoG
here here fm
I was just saying, Ata. You can't say a cat is best without considering all the competition.
cats of glory?
( we went from southern fried mars bars to cats of glory.... somehow)
Katie I was watching TV the other day and they said that chinchillas are great pets but they chew/nibble anything they can
Hi, Haz... Yes, daughter's animal is the True Cat of Glory...
Katie - as endorsed by Edward Monkton. I found a card which encapsulated our reaction when a particular cat received more attention than I've ever seen.
ahem...red... I have 2 of them....
They look so cute FM, but i'm not sure the cats would get on with one & much more work to do on hubby before he would agree to one :-)
As we Babbled, Katie, we were given a moment by moment breakdown of every breath, every step and every single trip to the food dish...
"and there shall come amonst them a CAT of such GREAT GLORY that all who see it will be SORE AMAZED and MARVEL at its SPLENDOUR" Direct quotation.
Oh, kattie... but you do not fill the chat with endless descriptions of Tiki's adventures...
You will need to provide them with a sand bath Katie
I did try and say that Silverclaw is obviously the Cat of Glory, but my connection died
kiki....is quiet..not so adventurous as is affectionate..now...tellie..is the trickster...
Oh I think I recognize the cat of which you speak. It's regaled here quite often, correct?
Not net problems, Ata?
Oh, Tellie... the mischief-maker? LOL
yes, they obviously affect people with CoGs
eeek net problems too, how spooky!
Correct, chiley.
I bet you do, chiley.
aha....part of the reason I usually lurk more than not
Sometimes, when you're in despair, you have to find something to laugh at. When I found the cat of glory card, I laughed.
I love chiley!!
of me as late too chiley....I just popped on..and decided to stay a bit today
still haven't worked out whether she gets to drink sso4 milk yet
fa6?
You and me both, chiley.
But, you had the presence of mind to share your COG discovery, Haz... to my gratitude...
Haz I still have the card on my notice board
I know. I felt it needed to be shared.
urgh..i have a customer coming in..in 15 mnis...<sigh>
I do too!
My beloved thought I lost my mind completely that day when you sent it, Haz... I laughed to nausea...
Nadal wins.
awww poor Andy Murray
bum
whats a nadal?
It's shaping up to be Rafa/Roger again!
It tickled me so much that people worldwide could appreciate the humour and the shared trauma.
Oh HAz, is sis there?
A Nadal is a tennis machine.
But it's not only the cat......I suppose some people's lives are just far more engrossing than mine.
LOL, Haz... it's burned into my memory!
i must have missed the card sending :(
I bought a card for hubby which read "I don't give a toss what your day has been like, where's my dinner!"
No, FMItch - she came home today. She enjoyed her time though.
Apparently far more engrossing than the population of South America too...
chiley - some people's lives are engrossing. The wise woman knows when her's is not.
Lol haz, I have a long way to go to be wise :-)
my life is thankfully...extremely boring now...
Check out my icon
True. A job or volunteer work or something might be a good option.
hehehe.....
So good seeing y'all (how's that, chiley?) again. I have to do gardening. See you soon. Be well, everyone.
take care red... love to u both...
When faced with a dilemma, always think 'What would the wise woman do?' Unless you're a man, in which case, do what the wise woman would do and surprise everybody.
You come back soon, ok?
Bye again Scarlet if you are REALLY going this time
good one haz...THAT one..i will remember
You betcha!
LOL, yes I am, FM!
y'all come back now..y'hear
:p
Love that card, need to find it to send to Mari when she gets back from holiday
Or what the wise woman tells the man to do.
Bye Scarlet - great to see you regularly again.
Thanks for the love, kat... backatcha! Thank you, Haz.
bye bye
customer coming..gotta get the wine ready
fa 5/16 is a real word ~faints~
bye scarlet & carlee
take one down & pass it around Carlee
Where's cait with the smelling salts for meliae
We need a rota for the first aiders. We can't be doing without 24/7 cover.
been trying to monkey that word for 5 mins who would of thought that is a real word
and it plurals too mel
I think I resemble that word today...feeling a bit pudgy
yeah got the plural as well
can i get a clue for th er6,18 please?
I'm not doing the first aider duties, I did it once for work and in my first week someone had a heart attack, it was nearly the both of us!
Can we interest you in the new prototype self operated liposuction machine, chiley?
Some of the inventors among us are working on a machine that will drain the fat and transform it into fuel for cars.
Lol has I forgot about that machine :-)
hmm....sure.
ewww thats disgusting lol
I'm trying to remember what name we had for it.
oh boy...this should be good
omg I am the evillest person in the world! I bought a new pair of shorts!
And this is evil why?
I'm not sure I want to know why!
She's being awfully slow in answering. Has she gone to try them on?
because it is! because it means I don't care about the fiscal regime my husband has decided upon for me!
and I even bought them from Bon Marche to satisfy his frugality!
Aha! These shorts represent defiance?
ahhh, there in lies the issue, fiscal regime = rebellion, a joint budget (with a decent clothes allowance) means no tantrums
Do you even like the shorts?
they are ok, but I had *no* shorts without many holes in, and we've had a heatwave!
Sorry 'bout that darn phone
Well then, they were an essential purchase.
I went to Long Tall Sally yesterday and bought 4 things in the sale, hubby sensible enough not to say anything thus avoiding a repeat visit today
lol Katie
I thought you were going to say, avoiding a visit to casualty.
I dug out a pair of short yesterday, put them on and they fell down. *looked smug and vaguely embarrased all at the same time*
Don't tell me this happened in the street.
wooooot!
Because we can only bail you out so many times.
loool no, at home but was planning on wearing them out
yes Haz, sorry Haz :(
I mean. The embarrassment, 'FMitch indeceent exposure again.' That'll be £25.
and and added £5 for over use of ee's too I suspect! Ata have you got that link to Jamie for Haz to see?
I know. I'm so shocked by the dropping of the shorts that I'm spraying vowels round with gay abandon.
*finds*
Better go and do some dinner being as it is 8.30 and I haven't started anything. See you all later :-)
A link to Jamie? A direct line to Dr_G?
Byee Katie
See you Katie.
teehee
Hello! From 78 words to fireworks, I hopr...
You can do it, ajv.
http://tinyurl.com/45l43t
Looking....
And this is who I said?
It is indeed
according to Ata that is
Gosh. He's much better without that beard and hat. Has he had a makeover?
I preferred the ZZTop look myself *snort*
He looks intelligent. He looks as though he is thinking deep thoughts, trying to work out another game that could surpass babble. NO CHANCE!
I think it would be good for a caption competition. What is he thinking?...
Surpass Babble *swoon*
I just raised the possibility as a teasing thought. As if ANYBODY could come up with something better.
Oh yes ... wonder if we could post the pic on BabAnon
He might be cross with us. He might throw us out of babble. I'm not prepared to take the risk.
does he look at babanon??!
I don't know. But if he does, we can blame FMitch.
She suggested it.
er 6/18 please
This is where I can in earlier!
well then, thats fine
er6/18 - latin plural of a word meaning mistake.
er6/18 - three letters to begin the mistake, then ***lante (babbler)
It's like a kind of rolling theme, FMitch. You are blamed regularly.
thank you Haz
You're welcome.
I was using the wrong vowel so I was on the right track monkeying it lol
Glad you got it, meliae.
ra 6/24 please
That is true Haz. Scarlet was trying to remember how I ended up with such a plum job.
Well, it's only natural. It stands to reason. There was never any doubt.
ra 6:something that isn't common like a lunar eclipse.
ra6/24 a very scarce word to find :)
doh fish me lol thank you
Or me sewing voluntarily.
LOL
lol Haz
ok folks, last word and I can't do it alone
ok folks, last word and I can't do it alone

MAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!! **runs to hug Mama**

ooof! take it easy, ladies! *grin*
I liked that book aussie!
scrab and I were talking about you last night stid, were your ears burning?
yes, kje! hope it was not too scandalous! *checks dirty laundry*
I liked it well enough Lindy, but it made me feel a bit uneasy, especially the bit where they explain what happened to his Sister !
yeah it was a bit creepy!
I watched the movie, and I had to look away when they were dragging his Sister away......
actually, it was very nice - she told me about how you two met on babble, though related, and I was saying how you seem to be the "mother to all" type - always there for whoever needs it... and she agreed
as I had read the book forst !
well...im off to get some more work done...cya all
OK - no more hannibal - I hate horror movies!

seidojohn, go to lickety's list, it will give you the word breakdown by the first two letters
Sorry, I mean yes that's how we reference, not "yes it's a dumb question" --it's not!
Ooooooh, thanks! That's been bugging me for like a week.

Hi redturtlehead!How are you doing?Welcome to grid
Oh no! You have to work at night and miss fireworks
hello all, taking a few minutes with 42 to go....
at night, i hope to be home away from all the drunks and other idiots
Hi stiddy!
Me too lbd...
Hi stidmama!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
WE are leaving the country to escape the incendiaries... *grin* anyone want me to convey greetings to my neighbors to the norht?
or the north...
i'm hoping the weather liars are correct in that it will be raining.
It's definitely been pouring here...
I do, Stiddy! say hi to Jilli and hetty, and anyone else you see.
Kinda sounds like you're a July 4th scrooge lbdawger.
yes LBD! certainly!
kinda, Min. i don't like loud noises, and i don't like forest fires.
Min -- LBD and I live in states where it is not uncommon for the next door neighbors to (literally) light dynamite and more.
It is loud, it is dangerous, and for me it sets of migraines.
We got some rain last night.No rain tonight and who knows about the next few days.I hope it doesn't rain
BR 6/27 after the rose?
my dogs and i would hole up in the basement with the lights off and calming music playing. now, no dogs, so i might just hole up with a book with the music.
I have resigned myself to the afternoon thunder banger. Somewhat pretty.
stid, french dog. add a consonant to the rose
Seidojohn - check email. ;-) hi everyone
you wanna come with us, LBD? there's still room in my backpack...
{{{{lickety}}}} hi there!!!
mrpresident is home - I'm at work though. she's doing ok - but still very sore!
thanks lbd
Hi Lickety! how's Mrp? (((HUGS)))
Oh, so sorry to hear that. Then I don't blame you for wanting to be away from all the noise. I wouldn't like that either. Fortunately, my neighbors are quiet on the fourth of July. Just think fireworks are so pretty
interesting spelling. will need to check the details later...
I'll even carry the backpack, Stid
Welcome home MrP!
{{{lickety}}} glad she's home!
hope the pain goes away soon!
(((HUGS MRP))))
you got it, LBD. If you start driving NOW and go about 90 mph the whole way, you'll be here just about on time to leave...
Hi Lickety! How are you? Glad to hear the good news
I do enjoy professional displays, Min. From a distance
all my neighbors will be setting off fireworks...heck they've been doing it already.
yes, about 9 pm here, there are a couple of M80s or so, followed by a few strings of little ones.
Yeah, it starts early here also. Since the 4th is on a Friday this year,I'm sure I will be hearing all weekend

But it is money...
The style is called Seido, hence my name.
