OK...here for a few moments...hid the chat and got 73 words on my own!!!

1:13 am

Does that mean I'm addicted?

1:13 am

stamina is my middle name

1:14 am

oh LOL

1:14 am

of course not, Pinik. It just means you are GOOD at this.

1:14 am

you need to ask, everyone who comes back a 2nd time is

1:14 am

i think so Pini - you definitely are when you feel you need to finish

was surprised untap was not acceptable

1:14 am

NOT...today is a first! Only been playing less than 2 weeks...

1:15 am

sounds like an enable word to me, Dee

1:15 am

see? You are good at this, Pinik.

1:15 am

1:18 am

Hi sprite.. I didn't see you on

ty vm

1:18 am

un 5 6 5 6 6 7 6

1:18 am

I am not so recognisable today, Hugs. I thought I might need to give a good example with the icon themes...

1:19 am

I see that.... I just get so used to seeing certain icons for certain people

ty very much... found them... now starting on k's

the only reason I stopped changing icons was sometimes the game wouldn't load properly on my ancient computer... this icon doesn't seem to inhibit loading, so I have just been admiring all of yours!

1:20 am

a 32 year old gymnast; a 40+ swimmer; good to see its not all teenagers

1:20 am

In all the time I've been here, I think that's the 3rd icon I've seen you with

1:20 am

yes, that is the initial goal of icons, I'd say. To be recognisable by something you like or think goes with you. But with my new job I may be expected to do something too, lol.

what new job sprite?

1:21 am

True, Hugs. Though I have adapted my devil's heart a couple of times to a theme.

sorry if I missed a previous announcement

1:22 am

Queen of Themes, Dee. I took over from Babbler.

1:22 am

isn't it CEO of ICONS

1:22 am

my icon fits your name quite well

1:22 am

oh yes, Hugs, it does. I have always loved yours.

very cool sprite

1:23 am

jilli and Babbler said Queen, nDan, but I don't feel I have to be royalty, so CEO will do fine, if you prefer.

1:23 am

it took me forever to find just what I was looking for. In another game, my name is Sprite Lee

congrats, I'll bet you will be great at it

1:24 am

aw, that is close, Hugs :D But I love the name Hugabugs as well.

1:24 am

I've had that nick since I've come online.

1:24 am

thanks Dee, Babbler did great all this time, I can only hope to keep up the good work. I promise I will pester you all about finding good ones :D

1:24 am

It's a funny story

1:25 am

please tell, Hugs!

very fun!

1:25 am

1/2 way there...gotta get up in the morning...so off to bed for now...happy hunting everyone!!! cya tmw

1:25 am

wtg Pinik, and see you soon :)

1:25 am

my oldest daughter was setting me up on the computer. I had never gone online before. So she set me up in msn and ICQ and wanted to know what name I wanted to use.

1:26 am

wd Pinik goodnight

1:26 am

at that moment, the family dog walked into the room... her name was Hugabugs

1:27 am

*whispering* "Pini" works, too! NYTOL!!! ;-)

1:27 am

so I said "why not?

aww sweet story

1:27 am

so I said "why not?

1:27 am

that is cute!

1:27 am

I used to play The Stone and we had gatherings... where you would actually meet the people in real life

1:28 am

when they found out the story... they compared me to indiana jones...

1:28 am

I keep seeing donut in the grid... maybe I want one

1:28 am

roflol, indeed, I was thinking of Indy too

1:29 am

*hand ruru a coffee and donupt*

1:29 am

hi again all -- and welcome, Your Majesty Sprite :D

1:29 am

I ate them all, ruru. Just because you didn't say hi to me.

I have 3 ka's; 3 ke's; 4 ki's; 3 ko's... missing?

1:29 am

unfortunately, my poor pup passed on, but her name lives on

1:30 am

hiya jilli! Great you are on! I wanted to show you myself setting a good example :)

1:30 am

hi Sprite, Hugs, rURU, ET AL...88 words

1:30 am

I have 5 x ka, but I am still missing 2 Ks.

1:30 am

ka x 7; ke x 3; ki x 4 and ko x 3

1:30 am

hi PAV, good going!

1:30 am

Hi PAV

1:30 am

thanks Hugs!

1:31 am

hello your highness

1:31 am

WHAT a good Queen you are, sprite!

1:31 am

it's hard cuz I'm determined to not use the lists

1:31 am

*waves kindly at ruru* Thanks, dear ruru, thanks. Here, have a doughnut.

ty sprite & hug

want to see how far I can get without list today

1:31 am

and you have better hair than Queen Elizabeth

1:32 am

well, I'm off. See you all at flip

1:32 am

PAV, I still don't, never have, except on extreme grids or too busy days. It is very doable.

ta hug!!!

1:32 am

ruru, highnesses are princes and princesses. Queen s are Majesties :)

1:32 am

that gives you another doughnut, ruru

1:32 am

goodnight

1:32 am

night hugsie :)

1:33 am

jilli, I made a deal with myself: only to use the icons I find on the internet, and not adapt them.

1:33 am

did hugs finish already yeeesh

1:33 am

sleep well, Hugs, and thanks for the delightful story!

1:33 am

pb for sprite

1:33 am

that's a good girl, sprite -- that's what I do.

1:34 am

ohoh... am sorry. *looks back to find the offending word*

1:34 am

argh, am doubly sorry. Good word(s).

1:34 am

aw, ruru, you wouldn't do that to the Queen, would you, when she's being so good?

1:34 am

you'll ad5 to the pb

1:34 am

I will, all the other doughnuts are there :D

1:35 am

a true queen can rule from anywhere

1:35 am

and don't forget my poopies..HRH Princess Precious and HRH Joey Tribiani...that's cuz in my mind I am HH Prince Peter and they're my kids, not that human children aren't perfectly good little angels, but not so much these days...

1:35 am

true, rue rue

1:35 am

so in sprite's case it is from the PB

1:35 am

lolol ruru, that is what they say here at home... that I manage the household even from the toilet :)

1:36 am

as long as you aren't too pooped

1:36 am

lol

1:36 am

depends on the parents, PAV. Same with dogs and owners. And now we know you are Peter :)

1:36 am

roflol @ true rue rue

again y'all, i'm guilty of BUI

1:37 am

sprite, maybe you could post a pertinent icon in the Icon Themes spot (see Resources above) as Babbler did, but retain your personal one here? Son't ask me how -- maybe Babbler knows

Babbling Under the Influence

1:37 am

got to take a break and walk the dog...

1:38 am

and thanks for whitelisting me, jilli :) Those phishermen only could use my mailbox for half a day, but it got me into problems on some watchlists anyway.

1:38 am

LOL chak -- I do too sometimes

1:38 am

don't mix it up, ruru... and enjoy

1:38 am

bb in a minute or ten

1:38 am

hi chakram, not too uncommon here, lol. Hope you had a good time!

jillibus lol and then i get all mad when i trouble finding the words

1:38 am

save me a donut

1:39 am

don't take a walk and break the dog, I mean

1:39 am

true true...we just to call the Animal Control the other day to pick up a stray Pit Bull puppy, and I do mean puppy. But alas, we are only allowed two pets, and they can't weigh more than 35 lbs each full grown....cute puppy though and so malnourished, I almost cried...followed me home but had to go to work. Neighbor ended up calling it in next day. and we know who's it was...the pup will have a much better life now...

1:39 am

and my typing goes astray, chak

ooo how did lickety fix the website?!

yeah jilli i find myself retyping the same word over and over, each time with completely different letters ;0

1:40 am

you did very well, PAV. It is heartbreaking, isn't it, what people can do to animals. Makes me totally vicious.

1:40 am

dunno, chak -- asked but didn't hear

1:41 am

roflol chakram, great image!

1:41 am

yeah, I just had to kick a dog out of the communal pool...it's owners were to busy splashing around to care, nevermind the rules, they gave in when I told them it'll cost them $100 penalty..common sense isn't acquired here in AZ it seems...

why doesn't lolspeak count. nood is totally a word... in lolcat.

1:42 am

pav, some peeps seem to think rules don't apply to THEM

1:42 am

hi everyone. looks like everything is back to normal. i had trouble finishing the last without lickety.

1:43 am

back in a few..time to take the poopies for their last walk tonight...

1:43 am

common sense doesn't seem to be common at all anymore, PAV. Alas.

1:43 am

hiya MGuy!

1:43 am

enjoy, PA

1:43 am

MG, his list was posted on another page so I was able to finish

1:43 am

hi sprite, jilli

1:44 am

I am surprised with myself today - have managed to get to 105 and only just looked at list!

1:44 am

wtg Kazz!

1:45 am

for some obscure reason I keep trying pharao

1:45 am

jilli thanks for listing the other site. i was able to get the last 3 words using the site.

1:45 am

hi kaz -- I'm still working on unblanking tiles, haven't used the list yet -- 2 blanks to go. We all have our little ways...

1:46 am

I like it when people make up goals for themselves.

1:46 am

oh, that's good, MG. It was posted last night but I thought some might have missed it later during the day

1:47 am

I managed to unblank all the tiles and then I decided to work on all those lovely Ks - thanks to you and hugs I've only got 2 left to find - a ka and a ke

1:47 am

FM put a list in BabAnon as well

1:47 am

there is one ka6, Kazz, perhaps that helps?

1:47 am

I only need one more ka

1:48 am

yay, there it is, Ks done at last. Now for some real babbling.

1:48 am

it does as that is the ka i dont have!

1:48 am

phew -- just noticed there are 17 Ks, and sprite hasn't screamed yet!

1:48 am

jilli, I screamed before you came online, lol

i don't have a 'u' yet

1:48 am

or before you came to chat, anyway

1:49 am

phantom -- Kohinoor (diamond)

1:49 am

oh yes, that one too, jilli

1:49 am

chakram: bare that head, sweetie.

sprite: umm, i'm not wearing a hat? :P

1:50 am

got it thanx

1:50 am

what teenage boys practice for bras

1:50 am

but if you were wearing one and you would take it of, you would un5 yourself. And if jilli does, she un6 herself.

lol... {{hugs}} got it two seconds after i wrote that!

1:51 am

lol chakram, good for you!

i thought it was some metaphor for my stupidity!

1:51 am

what do you call those roving robbers taht try to steal the kohinoor or other valuables?

1:51 am

take it off, sprite :)

1:51 am

thieves?

aladdin?

1:52 am

ah, thanks jilli! :) Take it off. Movement. Away from. Check.

1:52 am

I give up, MG

1:52 am

he may be asking if hindi word da6 is still in use

1:52 am

in my younger days i spent a year in india, they called them something else.

1:53 am

one-armed bandits?

1:53 am

those are in las vegas, sprite

1:54 am

I hate to sound paranoid, nDan, but they are everywhere!

1:54 am

the da6 has been spelt with an altenative letter in the 3rd spot and sounds the same

1:55 am

i did see them in groceries in the UK - ugh

1:55 am

MGuy, is it a joke with a nice punchline, or not?

1:55 am

got it, MG and kaz, but expected a C there

1:56 am

in groceries? Mannnn that is more serious than I thought!

1:56 am

oh darn, it is a clue. And I don't know the word.

1:58 am

these grids are full of Scots lingo, so why isn't "doon" allowed, as in "I lay me doon and dee?"

2:13 am

TY - any clues needed. I'm not very good at clueing but will have a go.

2:13 am

yeah, why isn't it. I tried it often enough to change that.

2:16 am

MGuy, that is sheer brilliance. Even your mistakes are good!

2:16 am

2:16 am

2:17 am

tc kaz

2:22 am

2:22 am

thats why im on a chai tea binge

2:23 am

smoke comes out of it I think, sprite. Have you read Alice in Wonderland etc?

2:23 am

just not old spice

2:23 am

did you see, ruru, that if you want that nookie, you will have to pay?

2:23 am

ttfn kaz :)

2:23 am

I have, but in Dutch, jilli, when I was a lot younger.

2:24 am

icon is not you swimming, lol!

2:24 am

saw that one sprite... where's a senator when youneed one

2:24 am

roflol ruru

2:24 am

that was directed at Kaz, duh

2:24 am

i never new that n word - too sheltered

2:24 am

but you are a fast learner, nDan

2:24 am

oh sure, nDan

2:25 am

and we will not ask what the n in nDan stands for

2:25 am

lolololol

2:26 am

don't mess with my kiddos

2:26 am

I would like to say I qwas sheltered too but that would stray too far from the truth ***ruru imagines being dressed in pure white!***

2:27 am

well, the n word comes from dutch, so sprite was sure to know it

2:27 am

you'd look gorgeous, ruru. And wicked.

2:27 am

th4 is the dutch for you all about nookies and cookies

2:28 am

you know, black used to be the color for brides in parts of spain

2:28 am

hehehe, see, only good things come from the dutch

2:28 am

neuken

2:29 am

yup, neuken is a very rude dutch word for it. It compares to your F word.

2:29 am

what does it mean/

2:29 am

?

2:30 am

in the 1500s you could actually say the f in front of the queen and not be hauled off

2:30 am

yes, and in china white is an unlucky color. Brides wear red.

2:30 am

lol ruru. Nice try.

2:30 am

warm wind alert, btw

2:30 am

D neuken “to have intercourse” sanitized dictionary entry

2:31 am

and I repeat, it is VERY rude.

2:31 am

white is used for funerals in China

2:32 am

yes, a colour of mourning, isn't it jilli.

2:33 am

and you dont write names on the front of photos [or is that korea]

2:33 am

I see we have a neukener in the grid (?)

2:33 am

hm, would never write a name on the front of a photo anyway, it would ruin the pic.

2:34 am

in margins, going down

2:34 am

neuker, jilli :) A pro, yes.

2:34 am

ho6/33, that is (3rd one)

2:34 am

th4s thanks to the civil war general who favored them

2:34 am

like Madonna?

2:35 am

oh ooops she's a singer

2:35 am

thanks, sprite -- my first Dutch word, lol!

2:35 am

she gets paid for other things

2:35 am

lolol jilli!

2:35 am

Madonna is too expensive

2:36 am

well, are they still in shop window in amsterdam?

2:36 am

shop window?

2:36 am

of course they are, in the red light district.

2:37 am

in their red light district

2:37 am

Is that like picking a puppy out of the window?

2:37 am

snap, ndan

2:37 am

yes, but not as cheep and not for keeps, ruru

2:38 am

but you still have a leash and collar involved...lol

2:38 am

thats extra

2:38 am

lolololololol

2:38 am

ooh, kinky!

2:38 am

arf arf

2:39 am

2:39 am

2:39 am

2:40 am

actually jilli that is very funny...lol

2:40 am

fencing looked pretty cool today jilli

2:42 am

I thought so, nDan

2:42 am

and so does the icon. I like the kanji like form of them, jilli.

2:43 am

uh oh -- just hit the K words

2:43 am

watching rebroadcast of gymnastics now, it's more technical, but i prefer the more graceful of years past

2:43 am

I kant stand it I have to go ta4 a knap..

2:43 am

hit them hard, jilli

2:44 am

the 3 i's are a good lead-in to the k's

2:44 am

and remember, if I can find them, everybody can

2:44 am

Kant, now there's one to wrap your mind aroung

2:44 am

*around

2:44 am

knight knight, ruru

2:45 am

yes, nDan -- too much arm-waving and back-bending

2:46 am

jilli, what system are DVD players where you live? Can you play PAL?

2:48 am

I don't know, sprite, except that we can't play European DVDs unless we have something special. I don't even have a real DVD player -- just use the computer.

2:48 am

here you can get ones that play multi - nations, but much more expensive [friend from germ. got one to play germ. movies for kids]

2:49 am

got 12 Ks first go...

2:49 am

ah, ok, NTSF or something like th4 then.

2:49 am

3:12 am

my pleasure, ExWren, Babbler certainly did her part. I love your icon!

Hi Wren

3:13 am

sounds worth reading even at my age, nDan.

And I thank Babbler and all the suggestions that babblers give

3:13 am

which one, I have just changed to suit the icon of the day, or is it the re words?

3:14 am

Meg Cabot is the author, I think

3:14 am

I'm reading that book Lickety listed in which a character mentions Babble -- it's quite fun -- "The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square" by Rosina Lippi

3:14 am

what I see is a hurdle icon, ExWren

3:14 am

Hi jilli, I have just read your profile. Following on from the pronounciation comment, my surname is Gough, (pronounced Goff)!

3:17 am

oops nDan. Good luck with that.

3:17 am

Hello Jilli, its seems ages since I have seen you..probably because I get up late these days .

3:18 am

and I've been trying to go to bed earlier, but I miss you lot

3:18 am

I have to be off too. Good night and/or grand day to you all and enjoy the grid. Watch the icon themes... lots of good ones to come!

Night then Dan and Sprite

Sprite.. thanks for that it does not look good from here but, I will take your lead :)) how are you today ?. :))))

3:19 am

we are going to have a Babbler thank you day for the former Queen of Themes, btw, and Kiwi suggested a Thank you Babblers for borrowed shoulders day.

3:19 am

Is there a clues grid today ?>

3:19 am

I think we should have a Sprite Thank You day for taking over from Babbler

3:19 am

13 left 2 r's...? and the rest s's..will try to reconnect mananana...night all, or is it morning ?

3:20 am

3:20 am

Sprite !!... babbler.. could someone update me please...

3:20 am

yes, elder, Lickety got back somehow

3:20 am

it is always night and morning somewhere, PAV, lol. Sleep well!

3:21 am

jilli: way too early for th4, lol. I just started. Let's see if I do the job as well as Babbler did.

3:21 am

elder: see my profile. Babbler needed a bit more time and space for herself, so I took over her babble icon themes job.

3:22 am

OH Sprite ::(( sorry to hear you were feeling so down yesterday.....I wish for you a better day ... Me.. ok, back very sore.. You take care my babble friend... ** hugs ** ..

3:23 am

be careful with that back, elder! You only have one... be gentle with yourself. And yes, yesterday was bad. But it only lasted one day, which is improvement from the pa4. Am learning :)

HUGS all round me thinks

3:24 am

gentle ones, though!

3:24 am

Sprite... you are a good person always there to offer help and sensible advice... ::))

3:24 am

Hello Herin ...

3:25 am

thanks elder, wish I could do more though

3:25 am

night again, jilli, lol. Repoof and sleep well!

3:25 am

May I suggest as an Icon day be linked to the Netherlands as a thank you to Sprite..

3:26 am

Good night Jilli.. sleepwell..:)

3:28 am

lol elder, for what! See Sep 13, would that suffice?

3:29 am

Sprite, sorry have I said something wrong :) Sept 13th//..

3:29 am

or just the Netherlands, that would be fun too. I'd feel embarrassed by a day for me, lol.

3:30 am

lollll no, nothing wrong, elder. Did you see the list of themes in my profile? Sep 13 is Thank You Babble Friends For Borrowing Shoulders Day (GroovyKiwi). And it is my wedding anniversary as well.

3:31 am

Ah, Sprite, just caught up with your list on your profile.. yes I see... ignore my earlier suggestions:) LOL

3:32 am

I am only working on two brain cells this morning ;; so apologies to everyone now and for the rest of the day ::))

3:32 am

also one I think will be fun is the Cliche that always gets associated with your country Day. Like wooden shoes for the Netherlands.

3:33 am

that is going to be Sep 27

3:33 am

reminds me of a joke my son just told. He said: do you know why women have one braincell more than a cow?

I don't think there is enough hours in the day to do a National Cliche Day for Aus

3:33 am

Sprite... yes, i was going to say there is more to Netherlands than clogs and windmills..

3:34 am

lol lady, indeed!

3:34 am

Herin your country one their 1st gold in the swimming.. hurrah!!.

3:35 am

Sprite.. waiting for the line...

3:35 am

they would be shitting on the kitchenfloor if they hadn't

3:35 am

LOL,,,LOL,,

3:36 am

he is 12, so I chose to laugh :D :D

3:36 am

Sprite... yes you do >>> ::_))

YEp

YEp

But then there is Roo's bouncing down the street, corked hats and saying Crickey every second word

3:37 am

it is so adorable, his face when he tells a joke like this. Afraid it is over the limit, but daring us to say it is.

dnicker and rolls eyes at that one Sorite

3:38 am

lol lady, I know.

3:39 am

Sprite.. I remember my son coming out with, sort of not ok jokes around that age.... testing ... as they do .. )

3:39 am

well, I am really off now, work to do. *hugs* to all and thanks for your great company.

3:39 am

Herin LOL .. :)

3:39 am

yes, testing, and they should. If it doesn't get any worse, it is ok :D *POOF*

Later Sprite

3:40 am

Bye Sprite.... have a good day.... :::)))

Hi there! Back for a few...

Phantoms: daikon, rakish

4:24 am

Hello Monkey..

4:25 am

Monkey.. sorry did not see you earlier , I had my head in the grid ..

Oh, I was on hours ago. I didn't see you here then. Just got back from dropping Walter off at daycare and taking the dog for her tun; now must rest my back.

4:27 am

I was not in hrs ago... late up.. bad back.. Sorry to hear your back is still hurting. How is your son ? did you get the blood test back.?

We will hear the final result today, I hope. He is on the improve. Still not fully recovered, still has the sore throiat, still pale and tired... but much more hiself and getting a bit better daily. Our own doctor is back from vacation so I'll be calling him in a couple of hours for the test results; he has a phone-in hour when you can talk to him directly. Then I'll take Walter in tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about YOUR back! Hang in there!

4:32 am

Well. its good to hear that he is able to go to daycare.. albeit he is still lethargic.. and you can discuss in more depth your concerns with own doctor that will help.

Yes it will. The other doctor said he can do daycare anytime he's up to it, and he likes it there and they're great people, so I took him in, but I'll be picking hm up early. And I really hope that test comes back positive-- I don't want a big mystery. But either way he's getting better!

4:34 am

Which has to be a good sign for your son.My back is historical .... I have episodes when its really awful, then it eases with meds.... Thanks for your good

4:34 am

'wishes'

Yes, I feel better about it all now; big weight off. Is there a specific cause for your back? A friend of mine has had a trick lower back since a car accident. Mine is just a slight instability; this sort of thing tends to happen every several years. But this is a bad one.... and all I did was bend down to put soap in the dishwasher! Well, that and carry a small boy around on my shoulders for hours every day... hmmm...

4:39 am

years ago whilst driving I stopped at roundabout car behind did not, ran straight into me.. no major pain then, but the consultants think the later years back problem may be linked to that accident ... MRI's ongoing etc etc ..Sounds like you have trapped a nerve, or pulled one of your discs..physio should be able to help you.

4:40 am

and carrying child on hips does not help.. :) but we have all done that:)

4:41 am

Or carrying child on shoulders :)

My insurance doesn't cover physio, sadly. Yeah, I'm sure I have trapped a nerve. Once the swelling goes down it should sort itself out. Oh, I do plenty of hip carrying too, just shoulders for longer distances, like teh 40 minute walk to the doctor: the cargo trike's broken again, so walking and the bus for everything.

Good luck with your back!

4:43 am

and with your back:::) ongoing pain drags you down..

Well yes, but especially when it is one's child's, so even with the back I feel better now that HE feels better!

I've also had my share of long-term injuries so I'm kind of used to it...

4:45 am

yes,, the worry begins to lessen when they are recovering from what ever ailment they had...

Just hope we do find out what this has been! But as long as he gets better I won't be dragging himin for test after test just so I can call it something. Let's just hope we get a positive on the glandular fever test he's already had.

4:47 am

I get used to the long term dull aches and pains, similar to you, its when the pain exceeds your normal limits ...

True, too true.

4:48 am

I wish for you and your little one a positive result, in that, it is nothing serious..

My chat snagged up and when I reloaded the page it left letters out... did it twice more and it keeps leaving different letters out... new Babble twost?

Thank you! I guess if it's getting better we must have already seen the worst an dit can't be too serious...

4:49 am

Umm... no problems here....

Sorry for all my typos today!

I meant, maybe this would be an interesting new way to play... random letter removals...

hello everyone :)

Hi Mr. P!!!

4:50 am

Its ok , some days my typing sadly, is all over the place..

hi monkey :))

hi elder :))

4:50 am

hello Mr P...still pushing forward.. :)

Now missing three OTHER letters... 'scuse me, going to try reloading my browser altogether.

That did it!

4:54 am

Monkey.. good , so frustrating when it does not work effectively.

Yeah, but this is an old and crappy machine so I don't let it get to me! My new machine will be finished soon.

4:55 am

:)

Oh look, an 8!

4:59 am

goodness... where ??

It is of course an re... re+ ad5 for the 7, present tense for 8

5:00 am

it had to be an re; :)

5:00 am

thanks for that .. got it ..

Well it just WOULD be, wouldn't it? Sigh.

5:01 am

Mr P... are you ok ish.. today?.

5:02 am

Monkey where are you from.. i expect you have answered this before in previous babble chats, but I have missed it.

From is California, but I'm a Dutch citzen now; emmigrated 15 years ago. I'm in Haarlem, the Netherlands.

5:05 am

Emigrated from USA to Netherlands, interesting, did you move re; job or relationship. ..

Fed up with US politics, education system, and the like. We forsaw it would just get worse, and lo and behold...

5:08 am

Only yesterday, talking with my mother, re; the state of the world, politics, etc.. and we both agreed Netherlands was one of our top countries for a better way of living, good manners etc etc

Awww, shucks. The current regime has to go though!

5:10 am

Did you consider any other European countries before settling on the Netherlands's ..

I am SOOO stalled out at 69 words! Don't suppose Lickety was able to solve the Google server issues that fast? Guess I should go get the stats at Anonymous.

5:10 am

Oh does it why?

We did read about a great number of countries for a year.

Oh, our current regime is all about belt tightening and cutvbacks to the health system and bigger classrooms and the like, and supports US international policy. The list goes on!

5:11 am

I asked earlier and Lickety is there.. what a relief to many, that includes me ::)

Oh wow! That's great. I'll just get pasting!

5:11 am

Sadly, in some areas of Britain, it would not be a good place for any to move too.

So I've heard. That's true everywhere, though.

5:13 am

Trying to reduce the recession that is happening in Europe ... and of course the links with the USA impacts on us all.for good or for bad.

5:14 am

Monkey do you return to USA for holidays and to visits family.

It's true. But for example it is illegal to test US beef herds for BSE... just one of the resons US beef is genreally banned internationally.

Every now and then we manage to get back. My aunt just covered us to fly out to bring Walter to his great-grandfather; it was a good two weeks in Berkeley!

5:15 am

yes.. crazy, and given how much beef is eaten in the USA....

I say it's probably the big pharmaceutical companies getting up to shenanigans again.

5:16 am

Good for your aunt, what a generous offer, I expect he was showered with affection.. bless.

Oh yes. And I miss my grandfather terribly so it was good to see him. He's 91. He and my grandmother brought me up, so they're "really" my parents.

BRB

5:18 am

How lovely for you.. and for Walter to meet these caring family adults..

5:18 am

Well I must try to get further than 118 words, diving into the grid ...

5:23 am

morning all, is anyone able to login into babble expert?

Hi Pink. I don't know, sorry.

Hi MG

5:24 am

h

5:24 am

Pink.. Licety is there..

Hey everyone

5:25 am

Opps, forgot to say hello Pink :) ' lickety'

5:26 am

hi lickety

Clues are in a state of flux - seems as if they are up today, but Google is canceling Google pages and it's likely to go down soon

5:26 am

hello Lickety,, great to see you have come to our rescue again... how did you mange that.. after the problems with google ?

5:26 am

yike! thanks for the warning

Understood. Thank you!

they seemed to have turned it back on today

5:27 am

hello Hillary..

5:27 am

what is their problem?

I'm looking into alternatives - but it'll mean a new babble expert.

5:27 am

I cant get onto it at all, i've had to play bylogging through the internet and keeping clues page lined up with it.....Hello lickety thanks for the warning!

Google are shutting down Google Pages - trying to get everyone merged over to Google Sites - but I can't do what I want with that free service

5:27 am

k

5:28 am

Pink.. it sounds tricky... and I can't help computer illiterate is me ::)

5:29 am

Licety the other day some Babblers were offering their sites .. is that not possible...

5:29 am

no worries, i'll just have to maybe reload the babble expert or continue playing the way i am

5:29 am

Lickety, how much does Google charge for that kind of service..?

5:30 am

Pink... but a hazzle !

5:33 am

yes it is elder, but i refuse to play it without clues lol

5:33 am

going to try and reload the babble expert bbs

Good thing my husband has an ik4 shirt; might never have got that!

5:34 am

Monkey :)

OK, I guess it's time to crawl across the street to the supermarket before callingthe doctor. I'll be back in a while. Have fun, folks!

I'm still investigating options

5:40 am

Lickety, well good luck and I hope it works out, most of us would struggle, for maybe forever, with out the help of the clue stats so, I say a big thank you..::))

5:40 am

Just seen the time... son coming in an hour and .. I sit here in dressing gown... must dash see you all later.. happy babbling

hello annie dear..how are you?

6:23 am

I have tried for the last 2 days to get onto Babble through Mozzilla Firefox and it says I have to sign up all over again...how do you get onto Babble...I am doing fine, thanks carlee, how is life for you?

6:24 am

life..is crazy busy....but looking to slow down a wee bit starting this week

6:24 am

she is well annie, we have gone back to nappies as she kept standing next to the toilet and wetting herself, and because i dont want a fear of the toilet to set in, i thought it would be best to put the nappy straight back on

6:24 am

( I don't use firefox )

6:25 am

lickety has lost the google pages that support the babble expert, he is working on it, ut could be a while

6:25 am

( I bribed my kids BIG time pink....a reese's peanut butter cup for every success!)

6:25 am

it is up today though!

6:25 am

pink, good thinking....she will be potty trained, I promise you...she has to be let alone for a while and then it will all fall into place

6:27 am

I dont have Babble Expert but I am on Babble through AOL...so I am happy

6:27 am

LOL, carlee

6:27 am

hi little

6:28 am

hi annie

6:28 am

worked great annie...both my kids were potty trained in under a month....with minimal accidents...under 5 total for both kids...

6:28 am

i changed to firefox thinking internet explorer was the problem, only to find the expert was the problem...she has days when she'll be as dry as a bone and others where my bathroom floor is constantly wet. I just hope that she dry properly by January, when she starts nursery

6:28 am

i had boys...i put in a square of toilet paper and told them to sink it!

6:29 am

lol good idea little

6:29 am

my daughter had 1 accident.... and it was cus she was outside and too far from a toilet to get there..but she REALLY tried...cheerios work well for boys too

6:29 am

pink, she will be ready by January...I think right now she needs a little space w/o fretting about toilet training....believe me

6:30 am

it worked...that's what couns!

put a pingpong ball in the toilet... it is fun for all kids !

6:30 am

they can't sink cheerios though

6:30 am

I did the toilet paper squares with my grandsons....worked like a charm

6:30 am

I'm surprised oakier is not a word...

6:31 am

i dont know what went wrong, we had 5-6 months completely dry then she just started again..i'll leave her to it for now

6:31 am

Hi {{{mrp}}} how are you today?

6:31 am

loving the tricks used to toilet train, i never thought of that...Hello mr p how are things

6:31 am

and i'm off to work... bbl to finish...have a nice day all :)

6:31 am

nope..but they can aim...I remember one time..withm y son..we were under the bridge for french fries ( that a BIG deal here in my town.people drive from all over to have french fries under the bridge) and he HAD to go..no public facilities ANYWHERE....took him behind a couple bushes..told him to aim for the dandilion....worked

6:32 am

6:33 am

I might have to punish them for going to the toilet! LOL

6:34 am

stay in bed ofr a reese's peanut butter cup..that one is new

stay in bed or get a grounding! works just as well at this age!! food doesn't work anymore... they don't care for it as much as their freedom

i think I had -40 c once..I remember one winter..mum bought these UGLY thick towels from a factory outlet and we stapled them to all our north facing windows for the month of jan/ feb...we had loads of brown outs and cooked on franklin stove alot...

7:16 am

Can any of you Canadians tell me how the weather has been in Ontario, between Ottawa and Toronto?

7:16 am

7:18 am

8:00 am

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go. We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.

8:00 am

Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me, so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go. This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.

Hello everyone.... have you got a minute to tell me about juice extractors please, we are thinking of getting one and apart from the fact that they will produce juice, I know nothing !!

hi karys

9:06 am

Karys, we use a Champion, have had it prob. 7 or more years and very happy with it

9:06 am

more like 10 years, still going strong

9:07 am

the pulp is great for composting too

9:07 am

Karys, read this.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juicer

9:07 am

I don't know if that is available to us here flosey, but I could look, thank you. Do you need any sort of special oranges, or just the ordinary supermarket ones ?

9:08 am

Karys, you can do most anything in a juicer....

9:08 am

Oh thank you Aussie, will do that. Do you use one ?

9:08 am

good morning babbleland....just came home from my morning walk - which was cut short due to the sudden thunder storm!! I'm soaked

9:09 am

It would be mostly citrus flosey

Good morning AS

I enjoy shopping when there's no time pressure (like having to find a dress for an event tomorrow, etc.) and I can just browse

12:41 pm

I think that all stores suck! Sorry to be so negative.

I heart shopping. it's actually my coping mechanism--which stinks now that I'm unemployed and don't have any income with which to cope!

12:42 pm

aussieme -- do you like reading adolescent lit/fantasy? I have been reading a LOT in the last couple weeks for this clas.

1:12 pm

Yes Mama.... what do you need from me ??

1:12 pm

do tell, stid - what titles can you recommend?

1:12 pm

I love anything sci-fi, fantasy, etc...

1:12 pm

I just finished reading "Esperanza Rising" about a girl who emigrates to the U.S. from mexico in the 1930s. Some sad things, but overall a hopeful book. Historical fiction.

1:13 pm

Since discovering this game,I have had to re7/36 my life style. I'm just absolutely ho4/9ed! I've cleared a space off the desk to make an ar 4/4 for my finished word lists.I've made an oa 4/5 to complete at least 3 grids in a week.It is very ra4/4 for me to go one day without babble.I don't even re 4/5 as much as I used to because of babble. If you came here I wouldn't be a good ho 4/5. You'd just be ignored as I babble. My hubby has to ad5/14 to me babbling so much.I get in trouble with my babble addiction.Hubby will say "how da4/5 you babble instead of paying attention to me! I say to him "Oh for Pete's sa4/8, get over yourself!I have resorted to babbling in the da 4/9 so my hubby can't see. da 4/5 it! I want to babble when I want to babble!I have very a good re6/18 to babble though.I work hard enough to ea 4/4 my free babble time! Ok now I need to go get some fo4/8. I will be right back.

1:13 pm

da6,33 after da4,9 still can't see it

1:13 pm

I know that one, stid - we also have it in Spanish for our bilingual students

1:13 pm

Wow, Min!

1:14 pm

Fantasy that I just read are things like "tom's Midnight garden" (written in the 50s, set in England), Skellig (somewhat peculiar, also set in England), The Giver by Lois Lowry -- sad, but really good (more sci-fi than the others); WAbi- A Hero'

1:14 pm

:0) Peri, great minds really do think alike !

1:14 pm

MIn, how do you really feel about babble?

1:14 pm

Min, that was cool!

1:15 pm

LOL! Min...thanks got a few more words out of you speech!!

1:15 pm

Wabi - a hero's tale by Bruchac: a really marvelous new story in the native american tradition (LOVED this one) pure fantasy; and a surprise to me was enjoying "Ella Enchanted" -- nothing like the movie which was inane...

1:15 pm

Minver! That was excellent!

2:14 pm

I am well. Sitting here putting of housework as usual.

2:14 pm

*off

2:14 pm

i know the feeling, i'm currently avoiding cleaning my flat after a barbeque

2:16 pm

I love your description of yourself!Too bad you don't have a photo icon to go with it! LOL

2:17 pm

give me a minute...

2:18 pm

*Awaits for beautiful photo*

2:21 pm

lol - i fear you're about to be very disappointed

2:22 pm

I'm very disappointed.I still only see faceless shadow.

2:23 pm

2:23 pm

2:23 pm

now that's red! I like it ylleria

2:23 pm

thanks :)

2:25 pm

oh how i want to watch the olympics :)

2:26 pm

That is beautiful! I have a thing for red hair.I love it!

2:26 pm

guess i'll try to wile away some more time at work until the day is done

2:27 pm

now that is a beautiful red ylleria!

2:27 pm

thanks min. my hairdresser keeps telling me i have to keep dying it that clour, or it'll break her heart

2:27 pm

I never understood why pro babblers had no icons.

2:28 pm

just laziness in my case, i think ;)

2:28 pm

hi, coming back to see ylleria's photo - very bold and beautiful, ylleria. Your hairdresser deserves an extra tip!

2:28 pm

What is your natural hair color ylleria? If I dyed mine red, well that would be a scary sight to see!Red does not go with darker skin or at least not my skin tone.

2:29 pm

she is a star of a woman. and the only hairdresser i've ever felt comfortable enough with to let her do whatever she wanted to my hair

2:29 pm

my natural hair colour's a sort of light, mousy brown, that starts to go a little blonde in the sun

2:30 pm

i'm scottish and therefore incrediblt pale by nature. we fear the sun. ;)

2:31 pm

Now you have an icon & you don't have to change it.

2:31 pm

I had highlights done for the very first time about a year ago - when I showed up at work I kept hearing that I looked "ten years younger" - went back to the salon the next day and gave Candy a gift! asked her what it would take to make me look 20 years younger :))

2:32 pm

I think it is nice to be able to put a face with a name.

2:33 pm

lol - that's really nice. when i went to my hairdresser a couple of months back, i got ID'd buying a bittle of wine just after i left, which made me laugh an awful lot - and the two girls behind me in the queue, who work at my hairdressers :)

2:33 pm

hi boo!

3:26 pm

hi une!

3:26 pm

howdy, pug!

3:27 pm

hey pug! how's the family? haven't seem much of stid...but then again I am on at "uneven" times

3:27 pm

stiddy was here earlier dear

3:27 pm

Poor Aussie is rather sad...

3:28 pm

stid back to school yet? anxious? happy/not so looking forward?

3:28 pm

yep, she's in school

3:29 pm

I believe so...but my brain is like teflon,nothing sticks!

3:29 pm

she's a very busy lady!

3:29 pm

i'm sick of these shows about obese people who are willing to try anything to lose weight EXCEPT stop eating

3:30 pm

hahaha pugs! know how that is...it's 12:30 am here...I'm "cooked"/long day...just NEEDED to babble for awhile...

3:30 pm

there are no quick fixes unfortunately

3:31 pm

grey goose and babble...that's my quick fix pug!!! LOL

3:31 pm

Babble mon amie Babble on!!!

3:31 pm

:D right on!

3:32 pm

i just got back from a trip to France, during my 8 days there, I saw 4 or 5 obese people

3:32 pm

something is wrong with our society to have so many obese people

3:32 pm

ALOT OF THE TROUBLE IN THE us IS THE OVER PROCESSING OF OUR FOODS

3:33 pm

how was your trip, monkey? where did you go?

3:33 pm

sorry don't know what happened with caps

3:33 pm

i think that's part of it, pug... i noticed in France that when you order a meal in a restaurant or cafe, the portion is small compared to U.S . standards... no one there seems to overeat

3:34 pm

Une, I went to Paris and to a village in the country called Nogent le Rotrou

3:34 pm

plus the French don't "snack"

3:34 pm

cool, monkey!

3:34 pm

immigrants with no weight issues their entire life will frequently get one after living here a while

3:34 pm

I was just in france too monkey...for 2 weeks...saw many obese tourists, nto so many "locals"

3:35 pm

when i ordered an ice cream cone from a streeet vendor, the ice cream scoop was about as big as a ping pong ball, no kidding

3:35 pm

yes portion is part but so much of our foods are "fake" foods

3:35 pm

there are no "all you can eat" restaurants

3:36 pm

loaded with chemicals calories & stripped of most real nutrients

3:36 pm

i think the french do snack...they buy a sandwich ( a big long baguette w/meat&cheese) and eat it all day long...at least thats what the shop owners told me...

3:36 pm

good evening all, the Icon Themes have been updated again. Any ideas I can add to the list?

3:36 pm

hello there fellow babblers

3:36 pm

hi jacq

3:37 pm

hi sprit & jac!

3:37 pm

sprite, how about favorite Olympic sport as an icon theme?

3:37 pm

ok . . . when I lived there, people didn't snack . . . you ate a meal and that was that until the next meal . . .

3:37 pm

hey, sprite!

3:37 pm

3:38 pm

3:38 pm

3:38 pm

3:38 pm

maybe we could even do works of art by century? or style? or country?

3:38 pm

lil*monkey, the Olympics are already themes now, you can put in your favorite, would be great!

3:38 pm

sprite, don't usually have time to do the "theme" and unfortunately don't keep up with them...so maybe favorite works of art has been done? dunno...

3:39 pm

OK thanks sprite

3:39 pm

da6 very politically incorrect term for slaves back in the 1800s

Sprite,, I was wondering re; themes... to suggest authors, men women.. you could also look at favorite novels. If you had women writers I would not have to feel awkward for one day as I tend not to change my very often as i have difficulty in doing so :) Women / men who changed the course of history for good or bad...

3:44 pm

Hey pug

3:44 pm

I want to go back to paris again and again monkey...how about you?

3:44 pm

no my hand had nothing to do with it other than clicking the link I found lol

3:44 pm

i've got some great ones from New York as well! LOL

3:45 pm

I found the inaccessibility of bathrooms in Paris TRES ANNOYING

3:45 pm

putting them all in now

3:45 pm

bathrooms are rare and not free

3:45 pm

Sprite...I am here seeing if I can finish this grid today/ evening.

3:45 pm

shoot! monkey...we never made it to the go-carts...we figure that's next time...

3:45 pm

monkey, that was true 30 years ago--interesting that the potty francais situation hasn't really changed!

3:45 pm

Oh I was getting ready to be impressed icep ;)

3:45 pm

I have favorite dish with a request for the recipe already. I like the restaurant as well :)

3:46 pm

skheiny the go karts were so much fun... kids & adults had a blast

3:46 pm

cool, sprite!

3:46 pm

im not that talented lol

3:46 pm

ah, yes...lack of "le toilets"...well, we just pretended like we were already customers in the cafes and just made our way thru :D

3:46 pm

Hey spritey sprite - well done for taking over from Babbler.

3:47 pm

hello FMitch, just seen you , you must have slipped in under my radar.

3:47 pm

yes, i did that skheiny, but I did get cursed out en francais in one cafe , when the garcon caught on

3:47 pm

shoot, go cart was ont he list, but unfortunately I dragged hubby thru one too many museums...his back kinda gave out after day 9...

3:47 pm

LOL ditto likewise elder, Evening :)

3:47 pm

wow, i'm impressed, skheiny--I remember trying that and being stopped and told I'd have to buy a drink or pay (a franc or so?)

3:48 pm

*copying ideas like mad* I love you guys :)

3:48 pm

Une, it's euros now... in Le Metro, it costs 2 Euros (approx $4 ) to use les toilettes

3:48 pm

FMitch.. I was thinking had not seen Haz for some days.. then remembered, she is on holiday>:)

3:48 pm

on a slightly related note, my ex and I once left no tip for the waiter at a French cafe and were chased into the street@

3:49 pm

well...I just smile...say "bonjou/soir" and made my way thru...dunno...got lucky I suppose

3:49 pm

LOL Une

3:49 pm

monkey, that's incredible--2 euros to use the toilettes!!

3:49 pm

hi FMitch, thanks, hope I can keep up the good work.

3:49 pm

Yup she is on hols - back next week, YAY!

3:49 pm

(we left no tip because the service was so bad)

3:49 pm

lol now the real question is why you didnt leave a tip

3:49 pm

yikes...yeah Une...we found out the VAT tax doesn't cover it all...tipping is diff in alot of countries

3:50 pm

oui, oui.... at the Luxembourg Gardens, it was 60 cents (approx $1 ) to pee

3:50 pm

With tales of her exciting ventures .

3:50 pm

so... you got more attention by not giving a tip than by sitting there to eat lol

3:50 pm

in general we tipped gernerously--my ex had worked as a waiter, hairdresser, etc. and knew the value of a (deserved) tip

3:50 pm

BRB... phone

3:50 pm

Hello, people.

3:51 pm

yes, icepyro!! LOL

3:51 pm

hi vic

3:51 pm

ooooo lala...loved the gardens too!! right on our metro stop

3:51 pm

hey, vic

3:51 pm

Oh yes, Zanzibar and such like! Viiii!!!iiiiii!!! (as Ata would say)

3:51 pm

On average in France and UK 10% of bill will usually be fine..

3:51 pm

sprite, maybe an icon category could be "funny experiences in other countries"!

3:51 pm

uh oh.... er I mean ... Hi Vic =D

3:51 pm

How's my poor lonely adopted FM tonight?

3:51 pm

Hello Vic.

3:51 pm

Doh, I forgot the Hi Vi bit

3:52 pm

we found it was best (if we paid by credit card) to tip in cash...understand that sometimes the individual waitstaff don't get the tips at all

3:52 pm

And greetings to you, icepyro. How lovely to see you today.

3:52 pm

Very happy Vi as package arrived *big grin*

3:52 pm

well, and there are places that pay the servers NOTHING--their entire income is tips

3:52 pm

hmmm, hubby reminded me that the VAT was 19% in Paris...

3:53 pm

=D

3:53 pm

sometimes they don't get it even if you tip in cash when i was waitressing they were shared out every 6 months and even the managers got a share, a bigger share than the rest of the staff

3:53 pm

I knew a couple people who volunteered to work for tips....

3:53 pm

weird ! Sun shining brightly but just heard Long loud thunder!

3:54 pm

yikes jac!!! were was that? (sorry, slow to read while typing...if all ready mentioned)

3:54 pm

gotta walk the pups . . . BBL

3:54 pm

how to make a waitress distress: pool the tips per shift..

3:54 pm

scotland

3:54 pm

bye une

3:54 pm

Bye, Une.

3:54 pm

gotta love "fairness" as it encourages laziness ...

3:55 pm

bye Une

3:55 pm

bye Une, nice chatting w/u

3:55 pm

bye Une, am putting all your ideas in, you will see them later when you check

3:56 pm

Bye Une. enjoy your dog walk..

3:56 pm

Sprite - it was a bit of a K grid today, had to smile when I looked at it as I thought of your :)

3:56 pm

hmm, so jacq...did you live in a village/town/city? Is that standard policy?

3:58 pm

Urf, internet is hic upp ing

3:58 pm

i live in a town and not standard but the owner is an idiot of the highest order and decided that even salaried staff are entitled to a share

3:58 pm

Shall I try to scare it, FM? Or will you give it a glass of water?

3:59 pm

crappy, jacq! :(

3:59 pm

Lets scare it - do you want to try IM?

3:59 pm

how is he still in business? lol

3:59 pm

Sure, lemme try.

3:59 pm

Vic are you going to sing again ? =D

4:00 pm

yes, but it's a way of holding staff for a while, they stay because they don't want to lose their tips

hi, all! :)

4:00 pm

Bother, FM, it's saying you're unavailable...

4:00 pm

hi TO

4:00 pm

Oh now there's a thought icep - esp as Haz is on hols!

4:00 pm

hello Temple Owl.

4:00 pm

WHy icepyro, how kind of you to ask! I here I had somehow gottent he impression you actually did not like my singing! ;)

4:01 pm

What would you like to hear?

4:01 pm

serious icepyro! makes one wonder how they get away with it...doesn't seem like fair biz practice

4:01 pm

suicide is painless? lol

4:01 pm

Hi TO Steady Vi - no arias please ;)

4:01 pm

Hello, TO.

4:02 pm

You should hear my rendition of "The Queen of the Night." Now THAT's scary!

4:02 pm

hello TempleOwl, how's the weather in Philly?

4:03 pm

LOL icep

4:03 pm

Alas. I wish I really could do damage with my singing alone. It might serve to keep the evil chipmunks out of my garden.

4:03 pm

lol FMitch, it was kruel. But I fought my way through it, again. With a little help from my babble friends for the last 2.

still on vacation - i don;t WANNS gop back to work WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

it's cool. we are awating a storm alledgedly

4:04 pm

Vacation TO, I don't remember seeing the holiday request!!!

4:04 pm

Vi, re IM will ponder why.

are you now the holiday coordinator, fm?

4:05 pm

LOL No, only for Haz and Ata

4:05 pm

so youve spoiled the owl to the point it no longer does its instinctual job of keeping pests out of the territory?

4:06 pm

icepyro, the owl hunts at night. The chipmunks are out in the day.

4:06 pm

LOL ICE!

hi sprite! long time no see you!

4:06 pm

fm, have you heard from ata?

4:06 pm

How could it sit on my head all day if it had to be out hunting chipmunks during daylight hours?

i saw ata last night.

4:07 pm

ok, dear all, the list should be updated now with all the great new ideas!

4:07 pm

Yes ice, a couple of days ago, she was in Oregon having a great time.

4:07 pm

oh I didnt know that, my only experience with chipmunks involve the names chip and dale, or alvin simon and theodore

4:08 pm

that is good to hear fm

4:08 pm

TO, may I ask...what part of the Philly are do you live in...live in Bucks Co myself for 20 yrs... (Wash Crossing/Langhorne/Newtown)

4:08 pm

Sprite, thank you will look in a wee while. :)

4:08 pm

lol. No, the cartoons may portray chipmunks as cute, harmless little things, but in fact they are demon creatures of pure garden evil.

i live in montoco, near warminster

4:09 pm

loved watching all the b-ball games, even saw a few in person..very exciting!!

4:09 pm

hahah, lived there too!

4:09 pm

squirrels were always my preference in that line of garden pests =D

4:09 pm

So infact they are Chipmonks of Doooom?

4:10 pm

monks? Chipmunks!

4:10 pm

street road (tho it sounds redundant :S)

near pizza plaza? my fav

4:11 pm

I think I like chipmonks of doooooom

4:11 pm

Exactly, FM. "The Curse is come upon me!" I cry, as they sadistically massacre yet another innocent tomato.

4:11 pm

Sprite, had a peek, diverse subjects, looks great, something for everyone ..

4:11 pm

OMG!!!! a few blocks away!

spitey, what are you posting dear?

4:11 pm

there ain't no such thing as an innocent tomato...

4:11 pm

these are specially trained chipmunks.... they were left as orphans at a chipmunk monastery and now they are on a mission... they are no longer mere chipmunks... they are the Chipmonks of Doooom!

4:11 pm

lol

4:11 pm

Oh No, Not The Tomatoes, is nothing sacred?

4:12 pm

did you see yours, elder? Somewhere in September, I think

4:12 pm

ROFL icep

4:12 pm

lol

4:12 pm

22, 23 and 28 sept

4:12 pm

mad mad people

4:12 pm

Oh no, icepyro! You must be right... That explains the single-minded fervor with which they attempt to rid my garden of anything I might actually eat!

4:13 pm

Temple Owl, see my profile, the icon themes for the weeks and months to come :) If you have suggestions, fire away.

4:13 pm

visited my sister in sellersville...at cheesteaks almost every day...."jones-ing" for them now...nothing even close here...

4:13 pm

Sprite.yes i did::)

did you go to sellersville theater?

4:14 pm

Sprite I will try to change as often as I can.

4:14 pm

**ate cheesesteaks**

4:14 pm

good :) Also put the ideas of lil*monkey, Une and skheiny in.

4:14 pm

I would take blame because I love to poke at you so much, but I dont work with chipmunks or chipmonks... Im a squirrel guy, altho that training is currently failing as there are not as many around here to recruit

4:14 pm

Jacq thinks we are mad?

4:14 pm

yay elder :) It is no obligation, don't worry. But it can be a lot of fun.

4:14 pm

takes one to know one, FMitch. Don't worry about jacq.

4:14 pm

:)

4:14 pm

no, TO too much running around visiting family/doing Xmas stuff to catch the show...unfortunate...

4:14 pm

no FM, jacq knows you are all mad, she's been reading the chat

4:15 pm

lol

4:15 pm

I havent ahd a good cheesesteak since I moved to california... over 5 yrs now

4:15 pm

<<< is criminally sane

4:15 pm

Who is it who has the anti-squirrel obsession? Is that evanonut?

4:15 pm

Ah thats OK Jacq, I was going to clarify it but glad to see you realised it already *giggle*

4:15 pm

it shows, icepyro. That waist of yours has become so much leaner...

4:15 pm

Yes Vi

4:16 pm

yeah, that is nutty

4:16 pm

We are NOT mad, jacq. We are eccentric.

4:16 pm

SO, icepyro, I think you need to go needle her a bit!

4:16 pm

I think we are definitely north of eccentric.

4:16 pm

laughs mad, eccentric, insane, it's all in the plea bargain

4:16 pm

vic is eccentric, I havent gotten any animals to remain on my head long enough for the claim

4:16 pm

I am so trying not to make a joke about icep being a squirrel man and 'nuts'

yes, vi. heiny, so sorry, did not realize, w=should not have mentioned pizza

4:17 pm

goooood girl FMitch. Quite a strain though.

4:17 pm

That's FM, always taking the conversational high road!

4:18 pm

Imagine how Haz would berate me if she was here!!

4:18 pm

QUESTION...anyone seen "herinfernallady"/nat lately? been on/off at weird times...

4:18 pm

especially when icepyro mentioned the animals don't wanna stay on his head long enough...

4:18 pm

saturday night

she was here at the flip

4:18 pm

Uh oh. Anguished screams... bac in a moment, i hope!

4:18 pm

lady has been on daily, but shortly. She has exciting private matters going on atm.

4:19 pm

pizza...mmmmm...miss that too!!! OK enough talk about food...and if anyone even mentions canolis they are automatically in the PB!!!!

4:19 pm

... ok I think I will just go back to the grid

4:19 pm

=D

*puts away german cinnamon almonds*

4:19 pm

:)

4:19 pm

alrighy then sprite, thanks for the update...hope to catch her...been awhile since we IM'd

4:20 pm

she will love to tell you all about it, I think, skheiny, if you catch her on IM.

4:20 pm

(Okay. Nothing serious, of course.)

4:20 pm

if it were serious, it would have been silent. All mothers know that.

4:20 pm

TO, you are truely cruel!!! LOL you better keep your GCTs out of my reach!!! :D

4:21 pm

of course I suppose I cant say too much about the comments considering I look at the grid and it says 'nads was not found in the dictionary'

4:21 pm

ok, my icon is ready for tomorrow's theme, the list is as updated as it can be at this moment, I think I should head to bed. Have fun all, enjoy the grid, sleep well or celebrate your day, and see you tomorrow.

4:22 pm

4:57 pm

lurking. Aussie, I had the same thing happen about 5 years ago. I still don't have kids, am 38. The docs couldn't figure it out for awhile. I am sorry.

4:58 pm

it seems at the time I was the only one that understood or felt anything about it. I am happy to see other people (here) feel for you. That wasn't my experience, it was rather odd.

4:58 pm

{{{{AprilD}}}} It is hard on you. We have a little girl who we focus on to keep us straight. Its the 4th time that it has happened to us, and my 6th pregnancy.

4:58 pm

I'm sorry for your loss Aussie, condolences to you and your family.

4:58 pm

{{{jess}} Thanks Hon...

4:59 pm

April, my daughter had 6 and nobody else in the family apart from me seemed to understand her loss

4:59 pm

just got here, aussie -- so sorry! You really have had a hard time building the family you want so much!

4:59 pm

we had been trying for several years. I knew that it wasn't just a period and after several times getting blood drawn, after 3 or more weeks, the bleeding and the human growth hormone stopped.

4:59 pm

Hey Jilli.... If it happens, it happens... It just wasn't meant to be right now....

4:59 pm

that is so odd Jac

5:00 pm

my husband didn't even get it.

5:00 pm

Mine was about the same April, I was 7 weeks without a period, and then 23 days bleeding...

5:00 pm

That is how you should look at it aussie..

5:00 pm

Well, you do have a treasure in Georgia, and hope for the future.

5:01 pm

amen

5:01 pm

Yes indeed Jilli.... and Amen to that ruru !

5:01 pm

Aussie, I had what I thought was a period. It started on the normal day, two days after it 'finished' it started again.

5:01 pm

Mine was nothing for 7 weeks, and then... 23 days of hell !

5:01 pm

no stop-start, just all go...

5:02 pm

ok, focussing on the grid now, or I will start to mope again **checking the grid for mope, not seeing it, phew**

5:03 pm

no m's on this one.

5:03 pm

I must say goodnight now. Bye folks and look after yourself Aussie.

5:03 pm

nope, no mope, and no nope either !

6:34 pm

I have the re7 and 8...I'm looking for the O words. :)

6:34 pm

one of the funniest things was their fascination with our english letters and words. just as we like their characters. we would often see men walking down the street in t-shirts with things written on them if they knew what they said they would not be wearing them

6:34 pm

I have 4 of them, Phaeton, if you would like clues

6:35 pm

ok, just stopped by to say hello and clue for a wee bit, see you all tomorrow

Kje, I was much like you as a kid--except that my mother wsa a non-nurturing, malevolent presence... I hated vomiting and did all I could not to. Which made my 'worst case of mumps ever" so much worse!

7:06 pm

7:10 pm

7:10 pm

heh growing up... my neighbors had 13 kids

7:10 pm

With all the slangy words Enable permits you would think nookie would be high on the list

7:11 pm

I can't imagine being an only child, annie, I liked being in a big family with lots of siblings to get into trouble with

7:11 pm

enable spells it with a "y"

7:11 pm

st5--witches were burned at the st5

7:11 pm

there are 4 of us. Not 7, but still fun...

7:11 pm

st - what you put in a vampires heart to kill him

7:12 pm

you can eat this in a differnt way

7:12 pm

oh for craps sake... FISH me (I was using the top ST instead of the bottom one)

7:12 pm

kje, well, to make up for that, I had lots of friends to get into trouble with but I would have like a brother or sister

7:12 pm

7:12 pm

7:12 pm

7:15 pm

Night all, or i should say good morning

7:16 pm

Can not imagine diving--between the fear of heights and the screwed-up sinus/eustachians, I would have just died trying 8-)

7:16 pm

13 kids ice? I'll ask the 2 questions I always get - were they catholic? or mormon?

7:16 pm

night/morning, runner

7:16 pm

no, btw, we were neither one

7:16 pm

neither =D

7:16 pm

7:17 pm

LOl, kje. My friend who's one of 10 is of a devout Catholic family... and they DID NOT believe in birth control, LOL

7:17 pm

gnite runner and again, congrats on your first

7:18 pm

my mom couldn't tolerate the early OCPs... plus, my dad was a foster kid and I think he always wanted to have a big family - compensation I guess

7:18 pm

I was friends w/a girl from a catholic family. She was one of 12.Her parents had like hundreds of grandkids

7:18 pm

I always find it funny that people ask that. While true neither of those believe in birth control, most christian religions actually either dont believe in it or have no opinion

7:18 pm

LOL minver

7:18 pm

I figure as long as the kids are loved and fed...

7:19 pm

we were both... though I do remember a period where my dad worked a couopel jobs outside his navy job to make ends meet

7:19 pm

Mom had some miscarriages, so it could've been more

7:20 pm

It had to have been hard, being in the navy, and supporting a huge family...

7:20 pm

the funniest thing was my baby sister during her teenage years swearing she was adopted every time she'd get pissed at my parents...

7:21 pm

I don't know Ice. I am 47, adn as a kid in a very catholic 'ood, it was always talked about--the largerst familes were Roman Catholic... I mean 6, 7, 8 kids

7:33 pm

none of the western countries can afford to be dragged into this, but if russia isn't stopped it will have control over gas, oil and grain and be able to affect political and economic decisions the world over

7:33 pm

hi ice

Good Evening, Anyone going to look at the Meteor shower tonight?

7:49 pm

hi red

7:49 pm

ooo meteor shower?

7:49 pm

perseids

7:49 pm

(sp?)

7:49 pm

Thanks for the reminder, red. Doubt I'll be up for it...

Hi Pug, it starts at Nine pm Eastern, apparently supposed to average 2 meteors an hour.

7:50 pm

hi red! what meteor shower? darn. i have early shift so will be sawing z's by the time anything interesting happens.

7:50 pm

the russians were pretty durn good

Pam, you are already up for it...

Persieds.

hey red

hi nance, love the icon.

7:50 pm

,can we see it over here red - surprisingly I haven't heard anything - maybe due to the cloud coverage - darn

7:50 pm

will have to step out in 10 minutes,live in the country so very little ground light to interfere

7:51 pm

i'll be running outside in a few minutes to see...

Pug you are lucky. At least we have clear skies, if I can tear myself away from Olympics....

7:51 pm

gonna go google it

7:52 pm

what's the trajectory ?

7:52 pm

shoot it doesn't get dark until 10 here. :-(

7:52 pm

It is cloudy/rainy here, red.. thought they started later, my bad....

Upset that Rasta is not considered a word...very odd...

I have no idea, though they told me to look east.

7:52 pm

Look, up in the sky! It’s the annual Perseid meteor shower — and it’s a great excuse to stay up into the wee hours and just look up and watch the show.

hey cordelia

7:52 pm

it's a religion, so capitalized, I think, red

7:52 pm

rasta is not a word in the same sense that Christian doesnt count

7:53 pm

hi nance

7:53 pm

ok will have to just go see

At least all I have tomorro is a long run a long workout and a long swim. No work.

7:53 pm

ty for ad clue. got them.

Still....its a word....

in my mind.

7:53 pm

it's a name

7:53 pm

have a slightly better view to the west....Mts...

7:53 pm

Perseid meteors will appear to "rain" into the atmosphere from the constellation Perseus, which rises in the northeast around 11 p.m. in mid-August.

7:54 pm

does anyone have the first da6 and the next da7 please?

7:54 pm

ty kje

7:54 pm

How do I know the sky is dark enough to see meteors? If you can see each star of the Little Dipper, your eyes have "dark adapted," and your chosen site is probably dark enough. Under these conditions, you will see plenty of meteors.

7:55 pm

da6-7----states N & S DA**ta + just do **!!!

7:55 pm

After the first-quarter moon sets, around 2 a.m., meteors should be more easily visible until dawn. You may see dozens of meteors per hour.

7:55 pm

thanks, kje

7:55 pm

Ive about decided that I will not work out.... treadmills claimed another life over the weekend

7:55 pm

Red, glad you have tomorrow off!

Ice, I think it might have been the other habits of Issac that did it...

7:56 pm

ty so much pug

7:56 pm

thanks for the heads up red - will go see if I can see anything when it gets dark

7:56 pm

ok lunch is up - chicken and sweetcorn chowder and toast on the side for me and just toast for the patient

Me too. I was getting tired. almost ready for long run. 10 tomorro.

9:23 pm

Good luck and God speed, Min ..

thot maybe that was how you got it....*smile*

9:35 pm

oh, good one, torgone :)

9:35 pm

No your comment at 9:32 pushed my brain a little bit.

(thinking that since I already had the word, it was easier for me to get the clue)

9:36 pm

I definitely know who adrian Zmed is autumn moon. I used to like him as well.Now I think he is just cheesy!

*diving in to find the elusive 55*

9:38 pm

Would that be an olypmic dice autumn moon?

9:38 pm

*dive

nah - did watch the synchronized diving yesterday tho

9:39 pm

Since discovering this game,I have had to re7/36 my life style. I'm just absolutely ho4/9ed! I've cleared a space off the desk to make an ar 4/4 for my finished word lists.I've made an oa 4/5 to complete at least 3 grids in a week.It is very ra4/4 for me to go one day without babble.I don't even re 4/5 as much as I used to because of babble. If you came here I wouldn't be a good ho 4/5. You'd just be ignored as I babble. My hubby has to ad5/14 to me babbling so much.I get in trouble with my babble addiction.Hubby will say "how da4/5 you babble instead of paying attention to me! I say to him "Oh for Pete's sa4/8, get over yourself!I have resorted to babbling in the da 4/9 so my hubby can't see. da 4/5 it! I want to babble when I want to babble!I have very a good re6/18 to babble though.I work hard enough to ea 4/4 my free babble time! Ok now I need to go get some fo4/8. I will be right back.

9:40 pm

Wonderful, Min!!

9:41 pm

Thought that I'd repost post this in hopes of getting Autumn Moon to get some of her elusive 55 words.

9:41 pm

re6 ,pls?

9:41 pm

it stands to re6

9:41 pm

re 6/18: give me a good re**** why I should help you.

9:42 pm

we don't need a re6 to babble...

9:42 pm

Hello artlady!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:42 pm

Thanks all and good night. And, Min, you convinced me. I'm upgrading tomorrow morning.

9:42 pm

Well, min. I can't chat or I can't play and watch Michalel Phelps win again...so the chatting goes!

9:44 pm

the English usage of pa6/24 is hard to describe to a Greek.

9:45 pm

DC, I spent a lovely weekend in your area at the end of July. Unusually wonderful weather--nice and not too hot or humid!

9:45 pm

17 k words?? Surely you jest ..

9:45 pm

you, too, dcseain.

9:45 pm

yes, it has been a shockingly pleasant summer. :) tonight will be in the 50s F!

9:45 pm

I love it! K is far too underused! (it's in my name, too!)

9:46 pm

Yes, 1 k words and only one of them is normal to me.

9:46 pm

Wow! Here too! It's scary. It will probably be 100 and humid in 2 weeks when I start school! (with no a/c, of course)

9:46 pm

Yes,17 k words and only one of them is normal to me.

9:46 pm

Min, my monkeys came in handy with those k's!

9:46 pm

i found all the ki and ke words easily. i'll tackle the ka ones when i get up to k; i'm in the Os now.

9:47 pm

9:58 pm

I get no kick from this grid ..

9:58 pm

i'm sure it would bore me teriffically too

10:03 pm

I have 4 x fi and 4 x fo .. What do I lack?

10:04 pm

an FO

10:04 pm

f-wise that is ..

10:05 pm

foie still doesn't work ..

10:06 pm

it's lackng w/out the gras, perhaps?

10:06 pm

I read the fireworks for Olympic opening ceremonies were actually pre-recorded & computer generated.

10:06 pm

Mayhaps ..

10:07 pm

Part of it was ..

10:07 pm

that would be very like the Chinese, somehow, and would allow for the effect w/out endangering people

10:08 pm

hello

10:08 pm

hokie is a word here in virginia :)

10:08 pm

good evening, harp! :D

10:08 pm

how can fireworks be pre-recorded?

10:08 pm

Okie dokie ..

10:08 pm

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

10:09 pm

hokie means wild turkey in the SW part of the state, and parts of TN and KY.

10:09 pm

good min, finished this morning but thought I'd stop in and say hello

10:09 pm

oopsie, nearly gave away a word

10:10 pm

how are things w/u harp?

10:10 pm

Harpjane, according to slash.org: faked fireworks were actually set-off at the stadium, but because of potential dangers in filming the display live from a helicopter, viewers at home were shown a pre-recorded, computer-generated shot."

10:10 pm

They were computer generated, and integrated with the live shots ..

10:10 pm

Congratulations harpjane on finish early. Good for U!

10:11 pm

I am trying to find a video of the opening ceremonies

10:11 pm

I missed it and in my search for a video,I read about the pre-recorded and computer generated fireworks

10:11 pm

It was the giant footsteps that were cgi'd ..

10:13 pm

foia is a word, or at least an acronym with much meaning.

10:15 pm

oh, have almost finalized a mortgage :D will be shopping for houses in the very near future. so scared and excited i am. :)

10:17 pm

1st da6, anyone, pls?

10:17 pm

Scary thing these days ..

10:17 pm

i qualify for a conventional fixed-rate loan :) so not too scary. and market crashing means cheap houses for me.

10:19 pm

Should be a buyer's market as long as someone will sell you the money .. Good place to be in ..

10:21 pm

well, where i live now is down 150k from last year, and some other areas around here are down twice that much. My target area is down 150-250k.

10:21 pm

10:49 pm

10:50 pm

da6/33 rhymes with a city in Michigan

10:51 pm

(and plural)

10:52 pm

da + night-time light in the sky w/ different beginning consonant

10:52 pm

Blue ****, you left me standing alone . . .

10:52 pm

Without a dream in my heart . . .

10:53 pm

Without a love of my own . . .

10:53 pm

Is this mike on?! LOL

10:53 pm

fireworks!!! thanks Uneaixoise

10:53 pm

Bravo!!!

10:53 pm

10:57 pm

Heck! There I was, having a quiet lurk, when I got deafened by someone tapping a mike and blowing into it!

10:57 pm

:-D

10:58 pm

ya know . . . we yanks are LOUD

10:58 pm

You're 'supposed' to say, '"Testing, one, two, three".

10:58 pm

LOL

10:59 pm

I guess you're loud because it's such a BIG country.

11:00 pm

Y'all have to yell to make yourselves heard. *grins*

11:00 pm

as Glenn Close said, "I will NOT be IGNORED!"

11:00 pm

Y'all have to yell to make yourselves heard. *grins*

11:00 pm

*mumbling about projecting across the pond*

11:00 pm

I'm not really here, you know. I'm on holiday. Well, I WAS...

11:01 pm

is it a hammock holiday?!

11:01 pm

did I disturb your reverie?

11:02 pm

It was a camping holiday in North Wales. I came back home the day after we went.

11:02 pm

oh, really? bugs? weather?

11:02 pm

ikea is so a word

11:05 pm

If you enjoy being wrapped in a canvas curtain, in a wind tunnel, with salt and rain water being thrown at you under pressure from all directions, and you know from the long-range forecast that you'll have 7 days of that, and you also don't mind attempting to sleep on a slope, and don't mind if all that living in soaking wet clothes plays havoc with your rheumatism, then it's going to be a lovely holiday. If not, then, like me, you might think it's an ordeal or an endurance test.

11:05 pm

Sorry, meant to say FREEZING wind tunnel and water thrower.

11:06 pm

sounds absolutely miserable--ugh!

11:06 pm

It was- so I came home. Other Half and step-daughter are 'sticking it out'.

11:08 pm

Hi autum. Ikea is a Swedish furniture store, as far as I know. But I expect the word has a meaning?

11:09 pm

Hi Jac. Yes, Ikea is a "furniture & so much more" store that I frequent on a regular basis. It just doesn't fit into the grid

11:11 pm

Autumn, I've never bought anything from, or been there, but my daughter, who is setting up house on her own at present, has practically bought the local store out.

11:11 pm

'In my day' (did I just type that??) the 'in' store was Habitat.

11:12 pm

lol Jac. We shop at Ikea often for kitchen stuff and throw rugs

11:13 pm

re7/36

11:13 pm

sorry(please)

11:14 pm

re + ad5/14

11:14 pm

thx

11:14 pm

yw :-)

11:15 pm

da7? 48+ho7/48 sorry for asking for the clues had a rough day on the mind

11:15 pm

ha5? please?

11:16 pm

ho7 more ho4/9

11:17 pm

da7/48 is the plural of the da6/55 (alt. spelling for Indian or Burmese robbers).

11:17 pm

thx for the ho7/48

11:17 pm

yw :-)

11:17 pm

ho7/48 = more ho/49.

11:17 pm

ho4/9. Sorry!

11:18 pm

i dont get t

11:18 pm

it

11:18 pm

jac - what if I don't have the da6?

11:19 pm

ha5 = an old fashioned way of saying 'you had... better do this (for instance)'

11:19 pm

second si7 please?

11:19 pm

Then you're stuffed, autumn! LOL.

11:20 pm

*pouting...jac doesn't like me anymore*

11:20 pm

nm

11:21 pm

1st si7 is the plural of the Leone. 2nd si7 is the person from there wihout the Leone.

11:21 pm

LOL, Autumn, I was teasing you.

11:21 pm

I know Jac. But I still can't get the ha or the da... will keep looking

11:22 pm

hey, peeps

11:22 pm

may I get some help with re6 after not the front?

11:23 pm

Autumn - the usual spelling for the Asian robber is da + first 3 letters of a piece of metal money + a consonant. Change 2nd consonant of word to another letter that sounds the same.

11:23 pm

asian robber - da + 1st 4 letters of 6 letter word for sex climax ;)

11:23 pm

tyger - there's no rhyme or re**** why you should be asking that.

11:24 pm

oh, crud. fish me, please!

11:24 pm

tyger - it's the act, not the climax. LOL

11:24 pm

disagree, jac. look it up :D

11:24 pm

thx jac. tyger - totally can't see it from your clue, though

11:27 pm

okay, my bad. I just checked

11:27 pm

Tyger - I habe, just to make sure I was right. co* + us = intercourse not climax.

11:28 pm

but I re6 from the term post-****us

11:28 pm

I just decided that I like PH words as much as words that start with vowels

11:28 pm

LOL, moon

11:28 pm

I studied Latin, and so it usually stands me in good stead for word origins and meanings.

11:29 pm

People say Latin is a'dead' language, but it's not really.

11:29 pm

problem with the da6 word, moon, is that this grid uses a different cons - the one that resembles a capital of the hook letter

11:30 pm

I had one year of Latin in HS, but that wasn't so very long after my mother's death, and I was still a very sad little girl

11:30 pm

so I never took the 2nd year

11:30 pm

I'lllet you off then, Tyger, and ((hugs)), losing a parent is ungetoverable, really.xx

11:31 pm

Latin will never be dead so long as the "romance" languages - and English - are so dependent on it

11:31 pm

i found it from Jac's detailed clue for me. Thx. I have 5 left da6/24; the same ha5 that I can't find and the last 3 PH words.

11:31 pm

thx. it still hurts, more than 50 years later

11:31 pm

I wonder if 'ungetoverable' will eventually be in a dictionary somewhere?

11:32 pm

ha5 is an archaic vowel form, one found frequently in the King James version of the Bible

11:32 pm

Autumn, I don't think the hurt ever goes away, we just live with it as best we can.

11:32 pm

it's a PT 2nd person of the "helper" verb that starts with HA

11:33 pm

take the PT of that HA helper verb and add on the 2 letters that end all superlatives

11:34 pm

I ha* a busy day today. it was the mo** busy day I've had in a week

11:35 pm

moon, you should be able to get the ha5 from 11:34

11:35 pm

da6/24 = da + the first letter of a word you'd say to describe a male + the last 3 letters of the lunar thing that shines in the sky at night.

11:35 pm

Thanks tyger. You threw me with the "vowel form" because it is mostly const.

11:35 pm

yw :) now what else did you need?

11:36 pm

not that I'm not usually quite inferior to jac when it comes to clueing

11:36 pm

da6 is actually a type of holly with yellow berries.

11:37 pm

already found the da.... was mistyping something or another. Now just the PH's

11:37 pm

da6 has a double vowel before the final cons

11:37 pm

when people describe Morse code, they use the terms dit and da* for short and long

11:37 pm

tyger- 'inferior'? What's all that about? I'm still weak from my weekend camping ordeal and so am not up to competing. LOL. I'm just here to chill out.

11:38 pm

I said I'm inferior :)

11:38 pm

nearly all of the PH words are from the root for sound

11:38 pm

when it comes to clueing, at least ;)

11:39 pm

The ph's are all about devices you hear things through.

11:39 pm

moon, what did they used to call sound recordings? they came first on shellac, then on vinyl

11:39 pm

ph10 records

11:39 pm

thank you, thank you. Got them all.

11:39 pm

ph5graph records

11:39 pm

yw :)

11:39 pm

Off to bed with me now... it's past bedtime.

11:40 pm

Well done, autumn.

11:40 pm

you're finished?

11:40 pm

yay, moon

11:40 pm

and I have other stuff to do. thx again, jac for giving me that clue for my last word

11:40 pm

ni-night all. good luck to those that are still looking and congrats to those who are finished and clueing.

11:41 pm

Well, I've been to bed, got up again, thought it might be time for bed again but got yet another hot flush... I'll stay for a while.

11:41 pm

So, if anyone wants any last minute clues, I'm your woman.

11:41 pm

oh, jac. that's rotten. I'm SO glad that HRT takes care of those for me - along with other even nastier problems

11:42 pm

hope you're able to sleep soon, and before it's time for you to fix brekkies for anybody

11:43 pm

sun has already risen there, hasn't it?

11:44 pm

well, I'm gone. *poof*

11:44 pm

It's in the process of rising, tyger, and my son (who's watching the olympics) has just given me a Marmite rice cake. It's delicious.

11:45 pm

Hee, hee! I can eat Marmite whilst Other Half's away.

11:46 pm

hi all...yummm now i want marmite on toast!

11:47 pm

i got fireworks!!!!

11:48 pm

Hi Kaz - go get it then. Hi Poly - Well done.

11:48 pm

my last 2 words.. any help please.. ha5/14 (first one) and os5 - 2nd one... pls..

11:49 pm

thnx

11:49 pm

ha 5/14 same as next ha 4 but add 3rd consonant in the middle

11:49 pm

1st ha5.14 is a bit Shakespearian - past tense of 'had'.

11:50 pm

ha5/14?

11:51 pm

os5 - the 2nd one pls..

11:51 pm

"nd os5 sounds like it might be a ;bone' word but is actually the opening at the end of a duct. os + first 3 letters of a small, jewelled crown.

11:52 pm

ha5/14 = had + an abbreviation for street.

11:53 pm

I'm only giving easy clues now because the grid i almost over.

11:55 pm

No more clues from me now. If you haven't got all the words, hard cheese!

11:56 pm

New challenges await us all.

11:58 pm

Goodness me! I'm sure the fox in my garden right now must be crossed with a greyhound. I've never seen such a tall fox before!
